Chapter 8 The Despised Abyss God
Aphrodite snorted softly and said in surprise, "I know, but what does that have to do with me? It's not me who kills gods."
Tartarus looked at Aphrodite deeply, his handsome brows were gleaming casually, his pale pink lips were straight, and his indifference was evident.
Aphrodite really didn't care about Metis' life or death.
Tartarus said in a deep voice: "As you said, if you tell Metis all the plots of Rhea and the others, I think she will also be willing to give you the wise godhead, which can avoid the death of a god. "
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows slightly: "What position did His Highness Tartarus take to ask me the answer to this question? After listening to the whole process of my communication with His Highness Rhea, if His Highness Tartaros asked me the answer to this question? I feel sorry for the experience of God Empress Metis, you can tell all this directly to God Empress Metis, instead of questioning me here."
Tartarus fell silent, and after a while, he said, "I don't feel sorry for Metis's experience, I just want to understand your thoughts."
The curvature of Aphrodite's lips slowly expanded. He walked in front of Tartarus who was sitting, and bent down slightly, silver hair swept across Tartarus' cheek, leaving a light fragrance.
Aphrodite looked down at Tartaros, her voice cold and high: "His Royal Highness Tartaros, I'll give you a piece of advice, you can indulge in pure beauty, but don't try to explore the thoughts of a god, otherwise"
Aphrodite paused, and Tartarus looked at him calmly and asked, "Otherwise what?"
Aphrodite said nothing, and gently squeezed Tartarus' chin with her fingers, and he said softly, "Otherwise, you can't help falling in love with him."
Tartarus' eyes darkened a lot, his sexy Adam's apple rolled, and his palm lightly rested on Aphrodite's thin waist.
He opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse after being infected with lust: "You are the god in charge of lust, the embodiment of the most beautiful in the world. It is a matter of course for any god to fall in love with you."
Aphrodite raised her lips slightly, her eyes full of coldness: "His Royal Highness Tartarus, you should know the difference."
Indulge in the love on the surface of beauty, and the loss of the heart and mind, the former can easily escape, while the latter is irreversible.
Tartarus just looked at him without saying a word, and didn't seem to take Aphrodite's words to heart.
Aphrodite sneered in her heart, but she didn't bother to talk nonsense with Tartarus anymore.
This abyss god is probably very confident in himself, confident in his strength and status, and confident that he will not be fascinated by love.
But he doesn't understand that love is the most vexatious thing in the world.
Even the gods in charge of it are cautious about it and dare not touch it easily.
Aphrodite sat down opposite Tartarus, and Areinte, who did not dare to speak, hurried over and poured him a cup of tea.
Playing with the teacup, Aphrodite said casually, "If His Highness Tartarus really wants to know why I am unwilling to save His Highness Metis, then I can also tell His Highness the reason."
After speaking, he sat still, as if waiting for Tartaros' refusal.
However
Tartarus leaned back slightly, leaning on the chair, and he said calmly, "Tell me your reasons."
"Too much curiosity is really not a good thing." Aphrodite said coldly.
Then he talked about the reason why he watched Rhea's mother and son plot against Metis, but was unwilling to lend a helping hand.
"First and foremost, Metis has nothing to do with me. I think it is very impolite and irrational to meddle in others' grievances and grievances at will. Your Highness, what do you think?"
Tartarus nodded slightly, his face softened slightly, and he agreed with Aphrodite's words.
Aphrodite withdrew her gaze from him, and continued: "Aside from the most subjective emotional factors, the next move is the result of pure interest analysis."
"Compared to strength, Rhea is the daughter of Gaia, the mother of the earth, and she was once the queen of gods. Zeus is the god of thunder and is extremely powerful, and Zeus has several brothers and sisters.
Although Metis is the goddess of wisdom and unparalleled wisdom, in the face of absolute power, and the gods who possess this power are also very smart, her wisdom can bring about a very limited turnaround. "
"So, it's very likely that she can't fight Zeus' mother and son. Especially after I've seen a series of her actions, I'm more sure of this."
"True wisdom is not only about using ingenuity, but also thinking about the mind of the gods. Metis represents the sea world but abandons the position of the sea emperor. Such a move will definitely annoy the sea world group represented by her parents. In such a situation In this case, even if she is wronged, as punishment, Haijie may sit back and ignore it, and will not ask Olympus Mountain to give Haijie an explanation."
"So, if I sit and watch Metis's death, I will gain a godhead, and there will be no loss."
"But if I help Metis, first of all, the mother and son of Rhea, who currently have a huge advantage, will be offended by me. Second, Metis will not necessarily win. Even if she can win and become the new mother of the god-king, how do you know , won't she hold grudges against me for taking away her wise and divine personality in return for my favor?"
"At that time, the mother of the god king has the intention to rectify me, and I will not be able to resist her and be disrespectful to her."
Tartaros raised his eyebrows: "I think if Metis agrees to the transaction with you, he should not hate you for it anymore."
Aphrodite said coldly, "Perhaps, but I don't believe in gods who betray their parents."
"Furthermore, if Metis is alive, the smart godhead I have will always be only a branch of the smart godhead, and she is the most complete controller of the source of wisdom. Only when she is dead, I can completely control the smart godhead in in your own hands."
Aphrodite's brows and eyes are extremely cold, and the meaning in her words is extremely naked.
Simply put, Metis was alive to affect his output.
Tartarus basked in the sun: "Actually, the last reason is the reason for you to stand by."
Aphrodite couldn't deny: "I have no responsibility for her. If His Highness must beat me into a vicious god, then I have no choice."
Tartarus murmured: "I don't think you are malicious, just..."
Aphrodite glanced at him and said lightly, "Huh?"
Tartarus said in a hoarse voice: "You seem to be more beautiful when you are cold..."
Aphrodite's heart moved, she didn't speak, she just looked at him indifferently and bored.
Although Tartaros didn't speak, Aphrodite heard the fast beating of his heart.
Aphrodite's heart was weird, she didn't expect that His Royal Highness Tartarus would be arrogant and indifferent to him...
But that's okay, Aphrodite was not very willing to sacrifice beauty, and this attitude was just enough to keep the distance between him and Tartaros beyond the bounds.
The fragrance of indifference flows in the Temple of Love, but the outside world is the opposite. The gods are cheering and singing, celebrating the appearance of the new god-king.
Aphrodite sat in the temple, watching the king of the gods in the center with a cold and alienated attitude.
Inadvertently, he met Zeus's gaze.
Zeus looked straight at Aphrodite, and then slowly smiled at him.
The smile was filled with arrogance and predation, making Aphrodite feel unhappy in the bottom of her heart.
Next, the gods did not stop at the Temple of Eros, but were led to the Temple of the King by Zeus.
As for Tartarus and Aphrodite, they naturally have to follow suit.
On the way, Areinte followed Aphrodite step by step, and Aphrodite said: "His Majesty Zeus, who has obtained the divine personality of the king of the gods, seems to have a better attitude towards His Royal Highness Tartarus than before. Quite a bit slow."
Tartarus said calmly: "The king of gods is equivalent to the primordial god."
Aphrodite turned her head to look at the God of the Abyss, whose expression remained the same, and raised her eyebrows gently: "What about power?"
Tartarus rolled his eyes slightly, his disdain was obvious. Zeus is indeed very powerful, but compared to this unfathomable abyss god, the distance between them is still very large. What traverses between them is the control of the origin of the world, and it is the countless times during which one generation and two generations of gods are rampant.
These gaps are not something that God King and Godhead can smooth out.
Aphrodite smiled and asked, "If that's the case, why did Your Highness accept Zeus' order to go with me to the Temple of the King of God?"
Tartarus said: "Just go with you."
Aphrodite stopped talking and walked quietly, lost in thought.
Tartarus doesn't seem to take Zeus's authority to heart, but the timing of his actions is just right, giving a sense of his support for Zeus.
Perhaps Zeus himself thinks so, but only Aphrodite himself understands that the god of the abyss really cares about himself more...
The corners of Aphrodite's lips are slightly hooked, which is not bad. Thinking of the gods misjudging the position of the Abyss God, the Abyss God turned against the water at a critical moment, that kind of scene is really interesting.
Soon, Aphrodite and Tartarus came to the outside of the temple of the god-king.
The Hall of the King of God is very large, and the first to step into it is a straight corridor, which is covered with a long red carpet.
The long blanket stretched inward and never entered a magnificent hall.
There is no dome in the hall, but when you look up, you will not see the blue sky, but the magical and magnificent night sky. In the night sky, there are countless wonderful stars. They are big or small, or they gather or evacuate. Formed a mysterious star map.
Standing under this star map, it is as if stepping into the universe. Even the gods seem to be extremely small at this time.
At this time, Zeus was sitting on the highest and most luxurious throne in the palace of the gods. The throne was engraved with a crown pattern. The position was much higher than other treasures. of pride.
Next to the throne of the king of gods, there is a slightly lower throne of the queen of gods, on which Metis is sitting. Her eyes are gentle and peaceful, and her smile is generous and elegant, like a beautiful picture, even the king of gods can't rob her of all the brilliance.
Aphrodite's chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes swept across the twelve thrones scattered on both sides of the throne of the king of the gods and the throne of the queen of gods, and his eyes were full of impending success.
The twelve thrones symbolize the positions of the twelve main gods. These main gods are the most authoritative existences after the primordial gods and the gods and queens.
The goddess of love occupies one of these places, and Aphrodite will occupy the same place afterward.
But now he still has to stand in the hall with the gods, waiting for Zeus to arrange an order.
Not only him, the previous god queen Rhea and Tartarus were all standing.
Aphrodite glanced at the god of the abyss beside him. Before entering the temple, the god of the abyss was calm.
However, after seeing that there was no place for him to sit in the temple, Tartaros was tightly wrapped in a thick, unseen fog, and his whole body was filled with an unfathomable and dangerous aura.
Aphrodite thought, was she angry because Zeus didn't prepare a place for him?
But apart from Aphrodite, no one else felt this way. For him, the abyss god wrapped in dense fog is the normal abyss god.
Zeus sat on the throne of the king of gods, and his every move was full of majesty. He glanced at the gods and continued the previous topic: "According to the result of the lottery, I won the two brothers and became the king of gods. Next, the sea world and the underworld. , what should my brothers do?"
The underworld and the sea world are both hard to chew. There are not many gods in the underworld, but they are all descendants of the goddess of the night and the god of darkness.
There is no existence with a particularly large origin in the sea world, but it is impossible for Okeanos and Tessis to have a baby. Their children almost divide the priesthood of the sea, and whoever becomes the emperor of the sea is an empty life.
But even so, the names of Pluto and Sea King are much better than the general gods, and Hades and Poseidon have no complaints about this.
The only dilemma now is which of the two of them will go to the underworld and who will go to the sea world. Zeus can't help but look at Tartaros, expecting him to give some help.
For example-
Settle the underworld and the sea for Hades and Poseidon.
Zeus' hopeful eyes were obvious, and Tartarus certainly wouldn't miss it.
Aphrodite squinted her eyes and thought to herself, Tartarus seems to be still resenting Zeus for not preparing a place for him. Will he help Zeus and the others?
Facts say yes.
But he only helped one.
When Zeus stared at Tartaros for a moment, Tartaros' low and distant voice came from under the thick fog: "Hades follow me to the underworld, and I will help you become the gods of the underworld, create the underworld, and help you become famous. True to it, Hades!"
The last two words, he bit very hard.
As for Poseidon, no.
The gods waited in a daze for a long time, and when they saw that Tartaros stopped talking, it was finally confirmed that Tartaros did not intend to care about Poseidon at all.
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Poseidon whose eyes changed suddenly, Zeus who frowned slightly, and Hades who was always calm, and smiled softly.
Tartarus is also very cunning, Aphrodite thought:
In the eyes of the gods, it was Zeus who looked at Tartarus for a long time, and then Tartarus began to discuss with him vaguely, and finally made a decision and gave a response.
I don't know what deal the two made, but in the end Tartarus ignored Poseidon and left Hades directly. The unknown gods thought that Zeus had any opinion on Poseidon.
Or, Zeus thought that the sea world was Metis's mother's family, and he still wanted to appease it, he simply sacrificed the interests of the sea world, gave up completely, just called Poseidon a name, and then tried his best to discover the underworld!
Poseidon's character looks very irritable, not as stable as Hades at all. Almost the next second after making this conjecture, it exploded like a bomb.
The eyes that looked at Zeus were full of anger and condemnation.
And Zeus himself was uncomfortable. He knew that he and Tartarus did not make any deal. Even if he did, he would never have asked Tartaros to help Hades with all his might.
The ideal state of Zeus is that Tartarus will come forward and knock the sea and the underworld, and let them give some rights to his brother.
In this case, next, his two older brothers will be busy fighting wits and courage with the gods of the underworld and the sea world all day, and have no energy to stare at the throne of the god king under his ass.
As a result, Tartarus was better, directly sucking Poseidon's hatred value onto Zeus, and also helping Hades to smooth out the follow-up mess and directly help him gain power.
Zeus thought with a headache, if he didn't know that he had not offended the Abyss God, and the Abyss God was quite supportive to him, he would have thought that Tartarus was deliberately targeting him.
