The Tribunal of Gods: My Patron Stuns Zeus
Transcript
00:07Theon! Mortal!
00:09You ravaged 16 temples of the sun, 3,000 ordained priests, sacrilege beyond redemption.
00:17What do you have to say for yourself?
00:22Say what?
00:24Stubborn to the end.
00:26Pythias! High Priestess of Apollo! I authorize you! Make him talk!
00:37Is that it?
00:38The god it's pet can't even swing a whip without running out of breath.
00:44Now that's a spy. Haven't seen balls like that on this mountain since Prometheus swiped the fire.
00:49Oh, look who trolled out. The mighty conqueror of the twelve labors himself.
00:54Zeus calls, you ghost him every time, but one mortal's about to get his head lopped off, and suddenly here
00:59you are like a stray dog that caught the scent of blood?
01:01I bled for my godhead! Twelve trials, twelve kills! Not like some pretty boy who got invisible cause mommy dunked
01:08him in a river!
01:09I'm here to watch a man die! Problem?
01:13Whatever helps you sleep at night, big guy.
01:17Enough! Cut off his limbs, drain him of every last drop of Demgod blood, and throw what's left into the
01:25abyss!
01:27You old bastard chaos. I crawled through the pits of hell just to reach you. Thought maybe. Just maybe.
01:36I'd finally have enough to spit in the face of fate. Fought my way through all of it. And it
01:42still wasn't enough.
01:43A whole mountain of false gods and here I am in chains. That spark you gave me? Looks like it
01:50dies today.
01:51Wretched little mud-borne creature. The gods put bread in your mouths. And this is how you repay them? By
01:58sinking your teeth into the hand that feeds you?
02:09Your blade split Apollo's golden idol in half. Sixteen holy temples. Ash. Thousands of his anointed priests choking on their
02:19own blood.
02:21Your soul belongs in the Magna. Let it burn for all eternity.
02:26Three thousand leeches who fatten on the blood of the poor. I put them down, and I do it again.
02:43Silence, wretch. You torched holy ground, butchered priests by the hundreds, and you still have the gall to run your
02:49mouth on this tribunal.
02:50Who gave you the right to judge me, Poseidon? When the plague tore through Athens and ten thousand people rotted
02:56in the streets, where was your precious light then?
02:59People were dying in the gutters. Couldn't even get a handful of herbs. And what did your temple of light
03:05do?
03:06Sent down an oracle demanding the poor hand over their last shrep of food.
03:11Kimmeras were snatching children from their beds, and you didn't lift a finger!
03:18Then you had the nerve to call it... What was it? Oh, right! A trial ordained by Apollo!
03:29Your so-called divine authority feeds on the living drinks from the dying.
03:33Every last one I find, I'll rip apart with my bare hands.
03:37The Covenant is supposed to be a fair trade. Take the mortal's grain, then let them feed the beasts.
03:42Deli's been double-dipped. And frankly, it's getting a bit ugly.
03:47The kid's right! If it were me, I'd have tossed those white-robed cowards into my forge and hammered them
03:53into scrap metal!
03:54One by goddamn one!
03:56Sit down! This is a tribunal, not your forge.
04:02What are you to question the gods?
04:06If the Lord of Light demands an entire city burn with him, that is the honor those insects should be
04:12grateful for.
04:13Your worthless bones paved the road into his throne. That is fate's gift to you!
04:18Privilege? My only regret is I wasn't fast enough.
04:22Should have burned Apollo's 8 and you with it, you deranged old hag.
04:25Heretic!
04:27Lord Poseidon, this creature's soul is rotted beyond salvation.
04:31As High Priestess of the Temple of Light, I invoke the Well of Truth, the mirror that reflects all cause
04:37and consequences.
04:38Let it end this farce, once and for all!
04:43Truth? The Well of Truth?
04:47High Priestess, strip him of his demigod power.
04:51Banish him to the wastelands of Hades.
04:54That sentence is more than enough to pay for the Temple's losses.
04:58There's no need to invoke the Well.
05:00Lord Postine! He drowned Apollo's sacred flame in his own filthy blood!
05:04He fed the profited oracles to the vultures!
05:07And now he stands before the gods and spits on the glory of the sun!
05:11Mere exile!
05:12How does that cleanse sacrilege of this magnitude?
05:15Once the Well of Truth opens, it rips a soul's fate threads wide open by force.
05:21Unleashing a judgment of the Twelve upon a mere demigod.
05:25It's out of proportion.
05:26It breaks protocol.
05:28Protocol?
05:30Then explain this.
05:31How does a nobody from the Slim survive ten years fighting in the deepest pit of Tartus?
05:37How does a mortal ascend to demigod?
05:39Something is hiding behind him.
05:42Something heretical.
05:44What the hell is this hag getting at?
05:46Don't play hero.
05:48She wants the Well to expose whoever trained him, whoever's been protecting him,
05:53and nail them to this tribunal right next to him.
05:56Make no mistake.
05:58This is Apollo moving the pieces.
06:02Oh, this is rich.
06:04Can't crush one little mortal, so now they want to dig up whoever taught him and put them on trial,
06:09too?
06:10Real classy move, Temple of Light.
06:13Lord Poseidon, the Temple of Light won't back down.
06:17Deny them this, and Apollo's fury will be difficult to contain.
06:22Perhaps it's wiser to let them see it through.
06:28The High Priestess insists.
06:31So be it.
06:33Granted.
06:34Well of Truth, descend!
06:39Bring it on!
06:41I stared down the monsters in the abyss, you think I'm scared of your little splash?
06:44Pour it all out, let's see who really swirls when the truth hits the mirror!
06:50Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
06:52Uh, absolute madman!
06:53That's what I wild wolf who doesn't know the rules and doesn't give a damn!
06:57Just goes for the throat and never lets go!
07:00Crazy?
07:01This kid's got nothing on you.
07:03Remember when you shot an arrow at the sun god's chariot just across a damn sea?
07:07And then you beat Death himself into the dirt with your bare fists.
07:12Wrestled Alclexius' soul right out of his hands.
07:17Piss off!
07:18Stop bringing up my old crap.
07:22Back up, back up.
07:23That lunatic is fiercely protective.
07:26He once tied up Thanius and beat the living daylights out of him.
07:28Tell me about it.
07:30Not even Zeus can keep him on a sleash.
07:34Hercules!
07:35Stow your tavern-brow theastrix!
07:38This is the sacred tribunal!
07:40One more word out of you, you old shrick!
07:43And I'll rip what's left of your precious temple apart with my bare hands!
07:47Right now!
07:48Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:49All of you, shut up!
07:52Listen well, Theron.
07:54If the mirror proves your hands are clean, I'll grant you a quick death.
07:57But if that water shows you've been hiding behind justice for mortals while serving your own ends...
08:03I will drive this trident through your chest myself.
08:07And what's left of your soul I'll carve into pieces and feed to Cerberus.
08:13Let the gods witness!
08:15Which wretched suicidal hair attack dared raise a creature who desiccates the light?
08:28Theron!
08:29Keep that Belus going!
08:31If I'm not back by nightfall, you head north.
08:34Beg, Grohl, do whatever it takes.
08:36Just stay alive!
08:37Don't go!
08:38It's the Hydra in those swamps.
08:40It's blood through stone.
08:41That Demophode picked his own fight!
08:43Why should you die for it?
08:49Let go of me!
08:51Hercules went out there to protect us!
08:53He's pinned down by the venom now!
08:56No fire, no way out!
08:57He's dead for sure!
09:00He's dead for sure!
09:05Hercules!
09:06I brought the fire!
09:08I brought the fire!
09:10Immortal!
09:11Get out of here!
09:12The air is pure venom!
09:14You'll be dead before you reach me!
09:16Catch it!

12:11it wouldn't buy you a single drop of apollo's holy water
12:15every promise the gods made was a lie
12:19i should have let the hydra's venom melt that glorious hero into a puddle of rot
12:26this is the price of meddling in the trials of olympia
12:30fate has decreed that you rot where you stand
12:33this is everything we have we sold everything for this

16:10damn you temple of light
16:22this is blasphemy against lord apollo

18:30hold on
18:31hold on that rusty blade in his hands that's the old blacksmith's craft no doubt about it but who took
18:37that scrap metal and honed it into a weapon that can kill gods

18:49hercules

25:47who said you could sleep copy the divine scriptures 100 times miss a single word
25:56and i break a rib
25:59your grandfather took that poison for the gods why wouldn't they even give him a scrap of bread
26:08a common blacksmith dying for the gods that's more glory than scub like him ever deserved
26:17now write
26:30glory he didn't deserve that's the doctrine of your precious temple of light
26:38this is merely the necessary trial to purge mortal weakness he refused to be civilized
26:46oh shit make him sleep in a cellar and dousing him with ice water
26:54you're worse than the demons in tardos
26:58riveting stuff high priestess the mirror's not done yet care to wager what other heartwarming mercies
27:06are coming next priestess pythera the code of olympius is clear unprovoked abuse of a minor
27:13under temple sanctuary is a capital offense perseus watch your tongue abuse this was an internal
27:20ruling of the temple
27:24want the broth then say it loud admit that your village was cursed because your parents were
27:30greedy tried to hoard her offerings meant for the gods admit that your grandfather was gnawed
27:37by wild dogs because he was arrogant enough to think a mortal's iron could beat fate lies my grandfather
27:44was a hero
27:48a hero a stinking blacksmith take your tainted bloodline and go lap up the mud where you belong
28:08unforgivable that old blacksmith took poison for the gods and you wouldn't even give him a burial
28:15mat apollo show yourself now scarding broth poured over a child's head
28:24is this your idea of glorious divine scripture
28:32my arrows have pierced every manner of beast
28:35but i've never seen anything more vile than the creatures in your temple
28:58my fellow gods mortals are born in sin without the crucible of suffering how can they be worthy
29:05to gaze upon the light this is education
29:17education that old man saved my life and you you sanctonious animals enough both of you
29:28are apollo the web of lies your servants wove in the mortal world you'd better start explaining
29:35zeus calm yourself
29:36strictly treaking apollo was mere enforcing the iron law that fate cannot be reversed
29:41using scalding broth to demonstrate divine authority that is the absolute power olympus granted them
29:50so the iron law of the temple of light comes down to hiding behind temple walls and tormenting a child
29:56someone should drag these noble priests to the front lines
29:59see how much of troy their precious broth can sculpt
30:03silence
30:04the well of truth hasn't finished its trace
30:07keep watching
30:12still bitter about your pathetic bloodline the more eyes cursed you and your kind the day you were born
30:20before sundown fill the olive kiln on the hill to the brim
30:24miss a single log and i'll skin you alive and leave you for the wolves
30:41miss a single log and i'll see you next time
30:50the wolf
30:50miss a single log and i'll see you next time
30:56the wolf
30:56the wolf
30:57i think
30:58You haven't even lost your baby teeth, kid. Trying to outdo Hercules and his twelve labors all by yourself? You
31:05don't to you.
31:08I don't need anyone's pity!
31:18One day, I'm going to burn the Temple of Light to the ground!
31:23Rage alone won't even ruffle Apollo's cloak. If you truly want to make a god bleed, find the Centaur Kidron
31:30on Mount Peleon.
31:32He'll point you toward the Echo Rift, at the edge of the world where Tartarus whispers back.
31:46That kid when he slums, he actually jumped into the Echo Rift of Tartarus. Is he the one, the last
31:52disciple Chaos ever took?
31:57My Sun Chariot patrols every inch of the Earth! There's no rift beyond my sight! The deepest floor of Tartarus
32:05devours even a god's divine sense! A mere mortal jumping in should have been reduced to as ash!
32:11The Echo Rift. A domain Nemori's meme has never touched. It exists beyond the jurisdiction of Olympus entirely. An absolute
32:20void.
32:21Quiet!
32:21Beyond the dominion of sky and sea, there lies a chaos more ancient than any of us. The Well of
32:28Truth does not lie. Keep watching, and see what this Munal dragged out of the abyss.
32:34The Kasterian Spring? Corrupted? What force on this Earth dares blind the gaze of the Sun God?
32:42This isn't a veil, Apollo. The Well draws its power from the Morai, and their reach cannot penetrate this forward.
32:49A corner where even fate cannot leave. What lies buried there is an atrocity so ancient that even Zeus refuses
32:55to speak its name.
32:58The things that were cracking to Mother Gaea's belly before the War of Titans? The primordial horrors?
33:07A mortal insect. Three winters have shredded your skin and bone, yet failed to freeze your arrogance. The abyss does
33:19not harbor vermin.
33:21Take this. A drop of crystallized Titan blood. Enough to make your husk hard as bronze.
33:29Go play tyrant in the mortal world for a few centuries. Bask in their growling, and stop disturbing my sleep.
33:36I crawled here over a mountain of corpses, not to become another one of your divine puppets!
33:42I want the forbidden knowledge! I want the kind of power that can drag the thrones of Olympias straight into
33:49the pit!
33:49Ten years. The toxic breath of the abyss should have ground your bones to dust. And instead, it forged you
33:56into a vessel for chaos.
34:00The blade that truly pierces a god's throne is forged from mortal despair and mortal curses. The mortal called Theron
34:08is dead.
34:09Now take this cursed shell of yours, crawl back into the abyss, and sharpen your fangs.
34:21As you wish, Master.
34:25And when I climb back out, I'm taking the Sun God's head with me.
34:36The well of truth can't even identify that black fog? Nothing in existence should be able to hide from the
34:43mirror!
34:44My light was obliterated in that domain. The shadow in the mirror doesn't even exist within the laws of this
34:50world!
34:50It was born before light and order themselves. The primordial chaos.
34:54Naturally, the mirror cannot reflect what predates reflection itself.
34:58Chaos? The origin of all things? This mere mortal knocked on the door of the primordial void itself?
35:08Ha ha ha ha! What a beast! A mortal body! And he clawed his way into the school of chaos
35:13itself!
35:14So tell me, Apollo, do you finally realize what kind of monster you created?
35:18Shut your mouth! A herrick tainted by the forbidden chaos! Olympus cannot allow him to breathe!
35:28Ah!
35:33Put away your fire, Apollo. He's not some mortal you can torch on a whim anymore.
35:39Inside that body flows blood older than Olympus itself, the blood of the primordial.
35:44Lord Poseidon is right. The moray cannot interfere with the shadow primordial chaos left behind.
35:51My lords, we may have stumbled upon a tumor we cannot cut out.
35:59The Temple of Light will never tolerate defiling of authority! Cast him down to the deepest pit of Tartarus immediately!
36:11Olympus is stiff of that old thing in the void. Fine, I get it. But you're a disciple of chaos
36:15too, so why are you sitting there like a log?
36:19You actually bear the signal? I do. But Heracles, this mortal shell of mine, can't hold the chaos flame much
36:26longer.
36:26Swallow your despair and choke on it! You and I are of the same bloodline, chaos's own!
36:31I will not let you die on these hypocrites' stage!
36:35If Apollo drops the blade today, I'll flip this entire mountain before I let it fall!
36:41Deal.
36:41Enough! The well of truth ends here!
36:45The well of the truth ends here!
36:51The End
