Tartarus had a dark face and an indifferent voice, scolding Areinte: "Enough is enough, don't be presumptuous!"

Areinte trembled in Aphrodite's arms, her eyebrows lowered slightly to hide the sadness.

Her Royal Highness Aphrodite is usually very cold, and he finally had the opportunity to be so close to him...

Aphrodite touched Areinte's long hair like seaweed, then released him, and her voice returned to calm: "Okay, Areinte, make me a pot of herbal tea. Tarr His Royal Highness Talos came to my temple on purpose, I have to entertain him properly."

Areinte quietly raised her head and glanced at Tartaros, the eyes of the god of the abyss were as deep and cold as the abyss. come over.

In an instant, Areinte felt as if she was also covered by the abyss, her whole body was stiff, and the cold seeped into her bones and blood.

Aphrodite patted his shoulder lightly, and a gentle warmth rose from his heart, then flowed all over his body, warming his limbs.

Areinte's reliant gaze fell on Aphrodite. Although the handsome deity with silver hair and purple eyes looked cold and inhuman, he always brought infinite power to the believers who stared at him.

Aphrodite let go of her hand and whispered: "His Royal Highness Tartarus is one of the most powerful primitive gods, the condensation of the original will of the world. In front of him, you are as small as gravel, don't offend you like this in the future. Staring at His Highness, you know?"

Areinte swallowed nervously, his small Adam's apple rolled, and he said cautiously: "I understand, Your Highness..."

Aphrodite patted his hand lightly: "Come on, don't make me and His Highness wait too long."

Areinte nodded and hurriedly went down to prepare snacks and tea.

Tartarus looked coldly at the back of Areinte leaving, and sneered: "Aphrodite, you are too condoning this god."

Aphrodite sat on the stone bench in the garden. His back was straight, his neck was beautifully curved, and his hips were very upturned, making him look beautiful and elegant as a whole.

Aphrodite said calmly: "Areinte is a good child, and she will not be arrogant because of my favoritism, and will always be in awe. I don't mind being more tolerant to such a lovely child."

"Awe?" Tartarus chewed these two words, glanced at Aphrodite, and mocked: "Are you sure he has awe for you? The gods of the gods will not do such acts of blasphemy in the shrine of the Lord God."

Aphrodite said casually: "He is just an ordinary inferior god, although the priesthood of sexual desire is not bad, but this power is not his own enlightenment but I gave him, so his The strength is not strong. What's more, his priesthood has a strong inducement to him, and often confuses his mind. And I am... "

Aphrodite paused and said with a chuckle: "And my godhead itself is also very attractive to the gods, isn't it? Your Highness, this little guy with weak strength and lack of clarity has already done what he can do. It's the best, please don't be too harsh on him."

Aphrodite's words did not dispel Tartarus' ill feeling towards Areinte, on the contrary, it made Tartarus feel worse.

In the endless abyss under the earth, the black mist full of corrosive aura is boiling and burning.

Tartarus glanced up, and Areinte came with a silver plate.

So he said coldly: "Not strong, not clear-headed? Aphrodite, you don't actually regard him as a god, but just keep him as your pet, right?"

Areinte, who came over, happened to hear Tartarus' words.

He was afraid of Tartaros and dared not look up.

After arranging the snacks and herbal tea, he very obediently knelt and sat down at Aphrodite's feet.

Aphrodite stretched out her hand, rubbed her fingertips on Areinte's cheek, and asked with a small smile, "Areinte, do you think you are my pet?"

Arein looked up at him stupidly: "I am what Your Highness Aphrodite loves most."

He doesn't care if he is Aphrodite's god or a pet, he only cares which of the two identities Aphrodite prefers.

Aphrodite withdrew her hand, her cold brows tinged with a smile.

He used his slender fingers like green onions to pinch the handle of the glass teapot, and the pink-purple scented tea swayed gently as the teapot was lifted.

Aphrodite poured a cup of tea for Tartarus, and said in a leisurely manner: "Your Highness is disappointed, Areinte doesn't care what she is?"

Tartarus picked up the teacup and took a sip. The sweet tea moistened his throat and calmed his heart.

Tartarus closed his eyes and felt that he was a fool to compare himself with Areinte.

Tartarus commented on the scented tea: "It's too sweet and greasy. If you go to the abyss one day, I can take you to taste the tea made from the flowers in the abyss, which is mellow and distant."

Aphrodite also felt that the sweet and greasy smell of this tea was too strong, wonder if it was contaminated with Areinte too much.

As for Tartarus' words...

Aphrodite couldn't deny: "Only those who carry sins go to the abyss."

Tartarus' face turned a little dark, is his territory so despised by God?

Aphrodite looked at him with a slight smile, her expression seemed calm, but she never let down her guard. He wanted to test Tartarus' attitude and judge how much the gods could tolerate him. If Tartarus turned his face in a rage, he would immediately mobilize the power to protect himself.

No matter how bad it is, go to Tartaros Abyss and spend a few days in prison.

Tartarus wouldn't kill gods anyway.

However, Tartarus did not express any opinion on Aphrodite's dislike, because a god broke into his conversation with Aphrodite.

To be more precise, a group of gods.

The sound of the scepter knocking on the palace gate was dull, but loud.

Aphrodite looked in the direction of the gate of the temple and opened it.

Rhea and Zeus walked in with the gods from outside the temple. They saluted Tartarus, and then smiled at Aphrodite, but the smile was very stiff.

And the eyes of the gods looking at Aphrodite are not as amazing as when Aphrodite just condensed the confused godhead.

As for why this is, it has to do with the defeat and imprisonment of Kronos...

Zeus and the others were curious about how Aphrodite hurt Cronus, and also wanted to know what Aphrodite did to make Cronus curse him with such heartbreak. .

Although Cronus tried his best to hide his experience, he was unable to escape the deliberate detection of the gods in the end.

Then the gods were shocked.

They can't imagine that Aphrodite is so beautiful, elegant and mysterious... Even if she piles up all the gorgeous words in the world, the stunning gods who are not obtrusive can actually do such a crazy thing.

The gods did not feel that their ability to bear would be much stronger than that of Cronus, so after the war, they did not dare to provoke Aphrodite, and their behaviors were much restrained.

But Aphrodite knew in her heart that this situation was only temporary. After a while, Kronos was taken away by Tartaros, and the Olympus Mountain returned to calm. Sooner or later, these gods would be tempted by his love and beauty.

However, these are things for the future.

Aphrodite took a sip of tea gracefully, stared flatly at the gods who were crowding into his palace, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you? Why are you all coming to my temple today?"

Zeus grabbed the conversation and said directly: "We are here to find His Royal Highness Tartarus. His Highness came from afar from the abyss, why don't you go to the Palace of the King of God?"

When Tartarus was reminded by Zeus, he seemed to remember something, he frowned for a while, and said, "The rule of Cronus has been overthrown, but there is no new owner in the temple of the king of the gods, who should I look for when I go? ?"

Aphrodite glanced at Tartarus and tutted lightly. Is Tartarus implying that the gods should choose the next god-king?

Not only Aphrodite, but other gods also understood what Tartarus meant, and their breathing became chaotic.

As I said before, not all Titan gods are enemies of Zeus. At this time, Rhea's vigilant and stiff eyes swept across the faces of her brothers and sisters, and then said sternly: "His Royal Highness Tartarus is right, Kronos has been overthrown, it is time to choose the next one. A god-king."

"But it is my sons and daughters who lead the gods to overthrow the rule of Cronus, so the throne of the king of gods is inherited by one of my sons and daughters. Do you have any opinions?"

The Titan gods who switched to the Zeus camp were somewhat dissatisfied with this, but the godhead of the goddess was still on Rhea, and what she said was authoritative, and the gods did not dare to refute him at will.

Tartarus glanced over Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon one by one. He nodded casually and said, "But you have six children. Who are you going to pass on the throne of God to?"

Rhea paused, and Zeus said first: "The throne of the king of gods has always been inherited by men, so let's exclude my sisters first."

Hera is still in the sea, not here at this time. Hestia and Demeter frowned and were a little dissatisfied with this. Unfortunately, the two of them were not very strong, and Rhea was not very fond of them, so he ignored their opinions and directly agreed with Zeus. statement.

So the contenders for the throne of the god-king were only Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.

Only one of the three brothers is destined to become the king of gods, and the two who cannot become kings of gods may have an embarrassing position later. Fortunately, Rhea was already prepared, she said: "The era of Cronus' rule has passed. , many Titan gods followed Kronos to fight stubbornly, and their destination must be the endless Tartaros abyss. And among these gods, there are many main gods.

After they are imprisoned, the vacant position of the main god responsible for the operation of the heavens and the earth will be reappointed by the new god-king. Since the main god has to choose again... the leaders of the sea world and the underworld should also choose again, right? They should all be the team of the new god-king. "

The underworld is okay. The gods of the underworld are mostly descendants of the goddess of the night, Nix, and the god of darkness, Erebos. They wander in the underworld and have no leader. Tartaros will take care of them when he is free.

Therefore, the choice of the Underworld Emperor only needs to be agreed by Tartaros, but the sea world is different...

The current gods of the sea world, the goddess of the sea, Thesis and the god of the ocean, Okeanos, are brothers and sisters of Rhea, and they are also strong supporters of the Zeus camp.

The wife of Zeus, Metis, is also their daughter.

Although Thesis and Okeanos were absent, they sent their daughters Styx and Styx's sons and daughters to help.

Among the children of Stykes, there is a goddess whose priesthood is victory. It can be said that Zeus and the others can successfully overthrow the rule of Cronus, which has a lot to do with the support of the sea.

Stykes didn't expect that after Rhea and the others won, they didn't give any benefits to the sea world. Their first thing was to deprive the sea world of their right to rule. Stix's face immediately stinks, and Metis frowned, seemingly uneasy.

After listening to Rhea's words, Tartarus also expressed his attitude: "The underworld can be managed by the new king of the gods, but the sea world..."

Stykes looked indifferent, looking at Rhea and other gods with ice-cold eyes.

Aphrodite watched the changes in the expressions of the gods in a leisurely manner, and her eyes fell on Metis, the goddess of wisdom.

At this time, the goddess was standing beside Zeus, and on the other side of Zeus was Rhea.

Aphrodite's special attention made him notice the little movements of Rhea and Metis. After Rhea tugged Metis' sleeve, Metis stopped for a while, and then stood up with Thesis and Russia. The daughter of Ceanos accepted Rhea's proposal.

The faces of Styx and her children immediately turned cold, and Zeus quickly appeased the gods: "I know that there are still some very powerful godheads that have no masters, such as the oath godhead, I think it will suit you very well, Stix."

Stix was about to get angry, but the anger froze on his expression when he heard the words, and then slowly subsided and turned into a movement.

Zeus looked at her sons and daughters again: "Speaking of which, Nico's 'victory' priesthood is really special, and such a special priesthood should be left in the prosperous and noble Olympus sacred mountain to enjoy worship. The sea world will always be It's all so peaceful and boring, don't you think it's boring?"

Zeus's bribe came almost brightly, and Aphrodite's naked eyes could see that the expressions of Styx and the others gradually became emotional.

Aphrodite twitched the corners of her mouth with contempt.

It seems that Tessis and Okeanos' eyes are not very good, and they were actually backstabbed by several children.

However, what if Metis, Styx and the others agreed to Zeus's order to send a new king on behalf of the sea world? Most of the gods in the sea world were conceived by Tessis and Okeanos, and the couple of the ocean gods can be said to control the origin of most of the oceans.

There is only one existence who can surpass them and become the veritable king of the ocean, and that is the third son of Gaia, who is also the younger brother of Uranus, the god of the sky, the incarnation of the ocean, Pentheus.

If you think that the king of the gods will send a leader casually, and the next imperial decree, the sea world will be obedient and let the Olympus sacred mountain be driven, then it is too beautiful to think.

But maybe Zeus didn't care about that either? Aphrodite thought to herself, after all, he is the future god-king of iron-clad Tintin, isn't he?

Aphrodite glanced at Rhea and Metis, and thought sarcastically that Zeus was the only child that Rhea rescued, who accompanied Rhea the longest and was most loved by Rhea. And Metis is the wife of Zeus, this wise goddess will definitely find a way to help Zeus get the throne of the god king.

However, Metis's behavior of betraying the sea world was somewhat beyond Aphrodite's expectations. Although the position of the queen of gods is very good, the sea world is her backing.

This kind of action really doesn't look like the goddess of wisdom can do it, or is it that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, and the agency is too clever and mistaken for Qingqing's life?

It's no wonder that after she became pregnant and was eaten by Zeus, there was no movement in the sea world.

Aphrodite's eyes trembled slightly, he put down the cup in his hand, and his fingertips reached his ear.

He stroked the azure blue earring, thinking that if Metis was going to die, let her do it. It just so happened that he liked Metis's wise godhead very much.

So, under this rather comical pull, the sea world and the underworld are about to usher in their new king.

Tartarus' attitude is actually a bit strange. He almost followed the words of Rhea and Zeus, and met all the requirements of Rhea and Zeus.

Aphrodite guessed that there might be a special reason for it. Perhaps before coming to the Olympus Mountain, Tartarus had communicated with Rhea and the others?

Aphrodite doesn't know, and Tartarus has asked again: "That being the case, among the three brothers, who will become the king of gods, and who will be the king of the underworld and the king of the sea?"

So far, Zeus has been active, and Hades and Poseidon have barely spoken.

In the memory of another goddess of love, Hades also seems to be a relatively taciturn existence, but Poseidon should not be so quiet.

Rhea calmly took out three bamboo sticks. The part of the bamboo sticks that exposed the head was the same length, and the other part was hidden in Rhea's palm.

Rhea looked at her three sons, looked at Tartaros again, and said, "They are all my children, and I should be fair to them... So I decided to draw lots to determine the ownership of the position of the king of gods. ."

"Two of the three bamboo sticks in my hand are short, and only one is long. Whoever can draw the long bamboo stick will be the future king of gods, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Do you have any opinion on this arrangement?"

Rhea seemed to be asking for the opinions of the three of them, but in fact the attitude was unrelenting.

The goddess of Aphrodite's memory will not appear until a long time later, so there is no memory of this part of the battle of the god-king.

And even if there is no memory, Aphrodite can see what kind of trick Rhea is playing.

The bamboo sticks were held in Rhea's hands, maybe they were originally long.

Rhea lets her three sons draw lots, and she can break the lottery when the son she doesn't like draws the lottery, making the lottery shorter.

Until her favorite son got the long lottery.

And just as Aphrodite had guessed, the lottery drawn by Hades and Poseidon had obvious fracture marks.

And in the end, the one who drew the long lottery was naturally Zeus.

Zeus held the long sign with obvious excitement and joy in his eyes.

Holding the long sign, he rushed out of the temple of Eros, holding the thunder scepter high and cheering excitedly: "In the future, I will be the controller of the world, my name is Zeus, the king of the gods."

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder roared. Kronos, who was imprisoned in the Temple of the King of God, twitched, and the golden square godhead rushed out of the body and flew into Zeus' body.

In the next second, Rhea's god-queen godhead was also pulled by the god-king godhead and flew into the body of Metis, who ran out with Zeus.

Aphrodite looked at the figure of Metis, who was guarded by the gods outside the hall, and narrowed her eyes when she saw the light slowly shining on her abdomen.

Feeling the departure of the goddess of the goddess, a strong sense of loss and emptiness emerged in Rhea's heart.

The gods in the temple all ran out to watch Zeus absorb the god-king godhead, including Hades and Poseidon.

There are only four gods left in the temple today: Aphrodite, Rhea, Tartarus and Areinte.

Aphrodite got up and walked gracefully beside Rhea. Rhea looked up at him in confusion, Aphrodite smiled at her, then took Rhea's hand and gently opened her fingers.

Two broken bamboo sticks lay quietly in her palm.

Aphrodite fixedly looked at the two bamboo sticks, Rhea's expression was not at all flustered, but unexpectedly calm.

Aphrodite looked at her thoughtfully, pondered for a few seconds and said: "Actually, the ownership of the throne of the gods should not be so troublesome, Zeus was the first to lead the gods to rebel against Cronus, help Kazakhstan It was also Zeus who got out of Dies and the others. In terms of merit, it was normal for Zeus to be the king of gods.

I think so, and Hades and Poseidon should think so too. They will not fail to see the abnormality of the bamboo sticks, but they behave very calmly. There was no dissatisfaction with your proposal from start to finish, and your two sons are so sweet, why bother to come up with a poor layout? "

Rhea withdrew her hand and casually smashed the bamboo sticks into dust. She smiled lightly: "You misunderstood, Aphrodite, these sticks were cut off by me before."

She did admire the handsome Aphrodite, and her attitude towards him was always tolerant and peaceful.

Aphrodite closed her eyes, got a little closer to Rhea, and sniffed the tip of her nose. The next second, Aphrodite smiled and said, "It's not that simple, Goddess Rhea. You must have forgotten, I am the god of conspiracy. Just now, I smelled conspiracy in you."

Rhea frowned slightly: "What conspiracy?"

Tartarus showed an interested expression and asked, "Aphrodite, what did you think of?"

Aphrodite casually flipped his silver hair, and he looked up at the dome covered with gilt patterns, showing a thoughtful look.

"Actually, Metis's behavior makes me feel very strange. Why does she want to help you fight for the position of the king of the sea? If there is no accident, Zeus is the king of iron Tintin, and Metis, as his wife, She is also a well-deserved god queen. She has absolutely no need to cooperate with you to seize the position of the king of the sea world, and then betray and offend the entire sea world."

"Unless... who dared her to hint that Zeus couldn't become the king of gods. If Zeus couldn't be the king of gods, then Metis would have no way to use the status of Zeus' wife to improve his status.

In order to protect your own interests, Metis can only help you to plunder the throne of the king of the underworld and the sea, as an alternative to Zeus who cannot become the queen of gods. "

Rhea's face changed a little, but it was still calm, and she explained: "Okay, let Aphrodite see through our layout. I did use Metis a little. But I also No way, Hades and Poseidon are also my sons, they are also Zeus' brothers, Zeus and I have to arrange a future for them too, don't we?"

"Although Zeus and I calculated a little about his wife, Metis got the position of the queen of gods as he wished, and we are all in the wrong, aren't we?"

Aphrodite raised her eyebrows, shook her head and said, "No loss? How could it not be a loss? After Metis' actions today were passed back to the sea world, her parents and brothers and sisters are afraid to hate her to death..."

Aphrodite paused, and suddenly heard a story in the memory of the goddess of love.

According to legend, Metis was the first wife of the god king Zeus. Gaia, the mother of the earth, predicted that after Metis gave birth to a daughter, the second son born would overthrow Zeus' rule.

Zeus was very afraid of this, and when Metis gave birth to his first daughter, he found an opportunity to swallow Metis.

Thinking of the fact that Metis offended the sea world, Aphrodite asked with interest: "Or, that's what you actually planned? Metis helped you to seize the position of the king of the sea world. The world hates her betrayal, and what happens to Metis in the future, Haijie will not care about it anymore. At that time, you will be able to start with her, right?"

Rhea's face immediately turned ugly, she looked at Aphrodite with some horror, and forced a smile: "Aphrodite, what nonsense are you talking about... How could we hurt Metis? "

Aphrodite said amusingly: "Why not? Your Highness Rhea, I have already said this, don't you still refuse to tell me your real plans?"

Rhea didn't speak, Aphrodite stared at her for a while, and smiled indifferently: "Okay, His Royal Highness Rhea really doesn't want to say it. Let's just pretend that what I said just now is a random guess. "

"But... I have one thing to congratulate His Royal Highness Rhea and Zeus God King."

Rhea asked, "What's the matter?"

Aphrodite blinked and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness and the King of God, you are going to be a grandmother and a father."

Rhea was stunned at first when she heard the words, but her face changed suddenly after she reacted. She covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Metis is pregnant?!"
