Chapter 29 The first meeting with the two gods
Aphrodite dealt with Areinte well, he looked very calm and calm, as if the death of the gods had no effect on him.
Aphrodite took her own scepter of the main god, patted the head of the scepter lightly, making it shrink back to the small golden scepter with half an arm at the beginning, and then left the temple with it.
The appearance of Dolphin alarmed many gods. Aphrodite just walked a few steps when she saw the culprit Zeus standing not far away and looking at him.
When Zeus' eyes collided with Aphrodite's, the color in his eyes darkened a little, and Zeus asked, "Aphrodite, your god is dead?"
Aphrodite said lightly, "Your Majesty's own hands, don't you understand?"
Zeus said nonchalantly, "You can't blame me. I thought he was a second-class god, so I used the punishment for second-class gods to target him. Who knew he was so watery. I didn't kill gods on purpose."
Aphrodite said coldly: "Is it important to be intentional? Your Majesty, it's okay to be unintentional once, but there are too many unintentional times, and the gods are not fools."
Zeus frowned: "Just an unimportant god, Aphrodite, are you threatening me for him?"
Aphrodite said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about... I'm just reminding you. You're right, Areinte is just an ordinary little guy, how could I possibly be with you for it? Such a noble king is so angry, you should be more confident in yourself."
Zeus looked at him coldly, and Aphrodite looked at him for a moment, then gently twitched the corners of his mouth, and walked around Zeus down the mountain.
Zeus stood behind him and asked, "Aphrodite, where are you going?"
Aphrodite didn't look back, and a cold voice came: "I am a free god, and even a noble god, I don't need to report my daily activities to you."
Zeus threatened: "Aphrodite, don't forget, Artemis and Apollo have not returned to the mountain."
Aphrodite paused and turned her face slightly, from Zeus' point of view, she could only see the slightly mocking arc of his thin lips and the corners of his lips: "They are your children, what to do with them is your own. It has nothing to do with me.”
After he finished speaking, as if he didn't want to hear Zeus say a nonsense anymore, his pace quickened a little, and after a while, he disappeared completely from Zeus' sight.
Aphrodite certainly hoped that Artemis and Apollo could have a better arrangement, for example, to become the main god.
After all, he interfered too much with the birth of these two gods. There is no doubt that Artemis and Apollo are definitely the gods of his camp. The higher their status, the better for Aphrodite.
But Aphrodite didn't want to fool Zeus anymore. Now that he saw Zeus, he was physically nauseated, and his heart was full of disgust.
Aphrodite became very irritable at the thought of having a relationship with Zeus.
Fortunately, he has no shortage of wisdom, power and strength. There are always other ways to force Zeus to make concessions and let things follow Aphrodite's original ideas and settings. That being the case, he was even more lazy to talk nonsense with Zeus.
Aphrodite is about to leave Olympus for a trip to the underworld.
By the way, on the way, met Nemesis and the brothers and sisters of the God of Light who had not yet arrived at the Mount of Olympus, and gave them some explanations and advice.
It was only when Aphrodite reached the foot of the mountain that he encountered another stumbling block, the goddess of the earth, Gaia.
Gaia was wearing a long white tube top dress, her wavy golden curly hair fell on her shoulders and covered her chest. She held the exquisite jade bottle and looked at Aphrodite with a smile.
Aphrodite gradually slowed down until she stopped.
He stared at Gaia silently, performed a simple etiquette, and said in a voice without emotional warmth: "What a coincidence, God Gaia, we actually met here."
Gaia smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence, because I'm waiting for you on purpose."
Aphrodite tilted her head slightly, he showed some doubts, and asked inexplicably, "Is there something wrong with me waiting for God?"
Gaia covered her lips with her hands and giggled: "A goddess like me, who deliberately meets a male god like you, can't you guess what's going to happen next?"
Aphrodite reminded: "God Gaia, I once said that I want to be a virgin god."
Gaia said casually: "Stop joking, my beautiful little guy. Look at your godhead, and look at your appearance. If you are a virgin god, the gods will be heartbroken and desperate."
Although her expression was cold, Aphrodite was still patient and was not annoyed when she saw this, she just asked: "God Gaia, what does the mood of other gods have to do with me, I'm just stating my own. Mood and thoughts. Now that I have expressed my attitude, I am afraid that I cannot meet your request. Can I leave?"
Gaia stopped laughing, she and Aphrodite looked at each other for a moment, and then frowned, Gaia muttered dissatisfiedly: "Aphrodite, you are completely different from my romantic little brother. , before he fell, he was more charming than you. Of course, he was more popular with the gods than you."
Gaia's little brother is also the last of the five primordial gods, the god who holds primal love | desire, Eros. For unknown reasons, it fell from the beginning and disappeared into the words of the gods and the gods.
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Yeah, I just don't know how the god Eros, who is so lovable to gods, fell?"
Gaia didn't say anything, and after a while he said: "There are some places where you are very similar to him, for example, you both have the charm that makes all the gods and people's ideas and talents lost in your heart. But you are far from him. It's even more intriguing."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Because I prefer to see the fearful eyes of the gods rather than the obsession of his gods. To be feared and feared by others, I think that is the sweetest taste in the world."
Gaia pursed her lips and finally said her true intention: "Hehe, Aphrodite, you are really special. Well, I came to you for something else, you just rose up. That constellation is your god who was killed by Zeus?"
Aphrodite snorted softly and replied, "Not bad."
Gaia smiled and asked: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that in general, the dead cannot be resurrected, including gods. But for some particularly powerful gods, even the rules can still be used. Reverse. Like... me."
Gaia showed Aphrodite the artifact life bottle in her hand: "This bottle of life contains the original liquid of life at the beginning of the creation, drink it, even the gods can be resurrected from the dead. I am very happy. Appreciate you, Aphrodite, even if you don't want to have sex with me, I won't deny it. So I'm willing to give you a drop of life liquid to help you resurrect your beloved god, what do you think?"
Aphrodite took the aquarium suspiciously, leaned in and took a sniff, and the breath of life that was so sweet came to her face.
This is indeed an extremely rare and even rare treasure.
Gaia looked at Aphrodite with a smile full of certainty, as if she was sure that Aphrodite would ask for her gift.
After a moment of silence, Aphrodite returned the bottle of life to Gaia, and he said politely: "Thank you God Gaia for his kindness, but it's just an ordinary little god, you don't need God Gaia. Such a treasure is given only to help him resurrect. First, I thank God Gaia for his kindness. Excuse me, do you have anything else?"
Gaia did not expect to be rejected by Aphrodite, and was stunned. She took the bottle of life blankly, and after reaching Aphrodite's questioning line of sight, she shook her head hesitantly.
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows: "So, I left?"
Gaia nodded slowly again, and Aphrodite passed her without hesitation and left Olympus.
Maybe Gaia still doesn't understand why Aphrodite doesn't want the liquid of life, because she probably doesn't know how abrupt she is.
To give Aphrodite a treasure like the original liquid of life, just to save an ordinary god who is not even a second-class god, this matter is full of strangeness from beginning to end, and it is full of calculations. smell.
There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.
Aphrodite had already figured out how to resurrect Areinte, so she wouldn't take the risk and go to a rough trap like Gaia.
It was only after leaving the Mount of Olympus that Aphrodite couldn't help frowning.
He couldn't figure it out, he was fine, but what was so special about Areinte that Gaia should care about?
As the main god and controller of Areinte, Aphrodite is very sure that Areinte is very ordinary, and there is absolutely no special secret on her body that can even attract the attention of primitive gods.
Aphrodite wrote down Gaia's anomaly and talked to Tartarus when she was about to go to the underworld to see if she could learn something from Tartarus.
The matter of Gaia was put aside first, and after leaving the mountain, Aphrodite felt much more relaxed, as if the eyes that had been peeping in the dark were gone.
Aphrodite summoned a bewildered Nemesis, who immediately knelt down when he saw him.
This goddess of revenge is not an orthodox god, but her grasp of the power of revenge is obviously much stronger than that of Areinte, and tragedies and accidents like Areinte probably will not happen to her.
Thinking of what happened to Areinte, Aphrodite's eyes sank.
After the death of the dolphin, Aphrodite thought carefully about how Zeus found Areinte, who was hidden by him.
In the end, he finally found a flaw - Areinte may have carried the piece of Zeus' meat on her body for too long, and even if the meat was given to Aphrodite, the smell on his body still did not dissipate.
So even if Aphrodite hides his divine breath, it is useless, because Zeus is attracted by another taste that is completely different and has a greater influence on Zeus.
Aphrodite was not unhappy about this. He didn't anger Areinte, after all, the little dolphin had already paid for it with his life, and when Aphrodite proposed to let him go back to the sea, he was very obedient and cooperated.
It was Aphrodite herself who got carried away for a while, ignoring the influence and power that Zeus could bring.
And this incident also sounded the alarm in Aphrodite's heart, admonishing him that he should not be careless at all times, should always be vigilant, and should not take chances.
Aphrodite thought somberly, and made Nemesis get up.
He asked softly: "Nemesis, I put a heart in your god before, did you feel it?"
Nemesis was stunned for a moment, she touched her arm, and nodded hesitantly.
Aphrodite paused and said, "That heart came from Areinte... the god who turned you out of the stone statue. He died because of some accidents."
Nemesis couldn't help covering her lips, and she asked nervously, "Is that the Dolphin constellation you raised before, Your Highness?"
Aphrodite glanced at her and nodded lightly, and Nemesis immediately turned pale.
Aphrodite looked away from her face, and said as calmly as possible: "You don't have to be afraid, in short... Unless I specifically summon you, try not to go to the Mount of Olympus. As for the heart of your god. , I'm going to put it there so that it smells of vengeance. You don't move."
Nemesis nodded quickly, and then she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, can Areinte still be resurrected?"
Aphrodite took a deep look at her and said in a low voice: "Just remember, Areinte has fallen forever with the rise of Dolphin, as for everything else, no matter, don't ask, don't tell, understand ?"
Nemesis nodded with lingering fears, and she quickly said: "I understand, Your Highness, don't worry, I will not tell anyone about these things. I will also use the power of vengeance to infiltrate the heart of the gods every day to make It's full of vengeance from the inside out!"
Aphrodite hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then this task will be handed over to you."
Aphrodite originally felt that there was no need to be so troublesome, as long as the surface of her heart was full of revenge, it was enough. But the previous negligence is still vivid in my mind. After hesitating for a while, Aphrodite decided to make a full set of preparations.
After saying goodbye to Nemesis, Aphrodite looked in the changed direction and walked towards the Artemis siblings.
Artemis and Apollo were born on an iceberg floating on the sea. Because they wanted to accompany Leto, they deliberately slowed down their walking speed and did not reach Olympus.
Of course, accompany Leto is only one of the trivial reasons.
Another reason is that Hera and Zeus didn't want the siblings to return to the mountain immediately, so they deliberately sent many monsters to stop them.
On the other hand, Artemis and Apollo also needed to consider their situation after reaching the mountain and how to stand on the road, and they also deliberately slowed down their progress.
When night fell, they even lit a bonfire very leisurely and roasted a stag. The venison was coated with golden honey, flowing with a sweet luster, and it looked extremely delicious.
It was at this moment that Aphrodite came, and he stepped out of the dark forest, with graceful and precise steps, and with a tall and dignified posture. His expression was silent and calm, handsome and majestic, his silver hair was like the bright moonlight in the night sky, noble and holy.
With a gentle and peaceful face, Leto quickly stood up with her children and looked at the god who had just helped them with a slightly restrained look.
And her sons and daughters, the silver-haired Artemis and the blond-haired Apollo, are staring at Aphrodite with their emerald-like emerald eyes of the same color. of boldness.
It wasn't until Aphrodite also looked over to meet their eyes, and showed them a light and gentle smile, the two brothers and sisters reacted after realizing it, and a little shyly averted their eyes. .
Leto clasped his hands across his chest, nodded and bowed, she said softly, "His Royal Highness Aphrodite, good day."
Aphrodite nodded as a courtesy.
Artemis looked at him curiously, his voice was like a ding-dong spring in the valley, and he boldly asked: "Hello, may I ask you to be my lofty and noble Lord God, Your Highness Aphrodite? ?"
Aphrodite couldn't help but smile and said gently: "Although your midwifery priesthood was split from me, before the god of midwifery, you were the goddess of nature of the mountains and forests, and a noble first-class god. I can't subdue a first-class god to be a god."
Artemis blinked, and suddenly revealed a smile, bright and noble and dazzling.
When Aphrodite and Artemis began to communicate, Apollo stood silently by the side.
He was tall and perfectly proportioned, standing there in a white robe with a lyre in his hand, and his long curly light blond hair as radiant as his priesthood.
Although he never spoke, those who looked at him could feel tenderness and happiness in his eyes.
When Aphrodite's and Apollo's eyes met, a strange atmosphere suddenly circulated between the two, it was an extremely subtle and subtle atmosphere.
Aphrodite blinked her brows and smiled suddenly. Unlike the gentle smile before, his smile at this time was a bit sinister and frivolous, making Apollo very uncomfortable.
Apollo opened his mouth with a gorgeous voice, and he asked suspiciously, "His Royal Highness Aphrodite, why are you looking at me like this?"
Aphrodite smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just don't think you are the same as I imagined."
Apollo paused for a moment and asked in doubt, "What does Your Highness imagine me to look like?"
Brilliant, clever, sunny?
Perhaps, in short, it is not what Aphrodite heard or saw through the heart sound and the eyes of the **, but hidden under the simplicity and beauty, it is absolutely rational and cruel and a little evil.
This glorious god who was born during the pursuit and was born too late to carry the notoriety of an illegitimate child is not as he appears on the surface.
——It seems that she doesn't care about everything that the mother goddess has encountered, and she is as pure and beautiful as the white flowers that tremble and bloom in the spring breeze.
After that light, there is a thick darkness that is endless and endless.
Aphrodite didn't answer, but pinched his chin with her fingers, forcing him to raise his head slightly—
Aphrodite, who was rather weak because of her appearance, was a little taller than the god of light when she stood with Apollo. He also looks a little thinner because of his taller stature, but his aura is not weak at all, his indifferent eyebrows are daunting, and the identity of the Lord God makes his every move with a pressing pressure.
Apollo tilted his head uncomfortably, breaking free from Aphrodite's gripped fingers.
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows, smiled and said, "Anyway... they are all very attractive."
Aphrodite has always appreciated contradiction more than simplicity.
Apollo frowned and took a step back. He did not reject Aphrodite's actions. After all, Aphrodite was so beautiful that few people would hate him. It's just that Aphrodite's movements gave Apollo a dangerous premonition, and he couldn't help but step back, wanting to step back to safety.
After thinking for a while, Apollo asked: "His Royal Highness Aphrodite, as the noble Lord God, you should be on the Mount of Olympus at this time. But now you suddenly appeared in front of us, I can ask What is your purpose for coming here?"
Aphrodite said casually: "Why are you here... Because some very unpleasant things happened with the king of the gods on the mountain not long ago, so I came out to relax."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning: "By the way, also help his poor children who are deeply feared by him and not born in his love."
Leto frowned slightly, and there was a touch of worry and sadness in his eyes, while the expressions of Artemis and Apollo were subconsciously hazy, and the emerald eyes were stained with some gray mist.
Leto hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "It turns out that His Royal Highness Aphrodite came to us on purpose... Your Highness, let's sit down first, and I will offer you the tenderest venison to taste."
Aphrodite pondered, nodded, nothing was impossible.
Artemis then spread out a long white cloth and invited Aphrodite to sit between her and Apollo.
Leto wrapped a piece of meat covered with honey in a broad leaf and gave it to Aphrodite, and Apollo made a jug out of buckskin, and filled Aphrodite with clear spring water to quench his thirst.
Because Leto's eyes were expectant, Aphrodite bit a piece of venison as a courtesy.
The venison is very strong, and the entrance is quite fresh and smooth, there is no fishy smell at all, mixed with sweet honey, and Aphrodite has an aftertaste in the mouth.
It's just that this god who controls desire|desire has hated the feeling of indulging in desire|desire since birth, so although he thinks the taste of venison is not bad, after a few symbolic bites, he still eats the meat. Put it aside, then took the pot in Apollo's hand, raised his neck and kept drinking water.
Artemis sat next to her with her legs bent and her arms lying on her knees, then she leaned her head on her arms and stared at Aphrodite earnestly.
After a while, she said, "Your Highness, you are so beautiful. The first time I saw you, I felt infinite joy in my heart. I wanted to please you and make you happy with me. Apollo, you play a song for Your Highness. Music, I want to dance for Your Highness in your singing."
Apollo lowered his head, fiddled with the strings lightly, and produced several pleasant tones.
Then the tones are gradually coherent, and finally form a lively and lively minor tune, galloping happily under the moonlight.
And Artemis also stepped briskly and danced on the grass. This goddess has limited dance talent, but she is beautiful and her movements are extremely bold and brisk, so dancing is also very interesting.
When the dance was over, Aphrodite clapped her palms lightly and praised it. He smiled and said, "The artistic talents of the two Your Royal Highnesses are very good. It just so happens that there are nine in my temple. The goddess who is in charge of art, they can sing and dance well and have great looks. When the two highnesses arrive at the sacred mountain, why don't I give them to the two highnesses to be gods. Because I think, like the two highnesses Talented gods are more suitable to lead them than me."
Artemis and Apollo were stunned for a moment, and Apollo asked with some heartbeat: "Is your Highness talking about the daughters of the King of God and Mnemosyne, the Muses?"
Speaking of which, the Muses are still the sisters of Artemis and Apollo, but from the name Apollo, it seems that he does not recognize the relationship between him and the Muses.
But this is also of course, the friendship between gods is fragile, not to mention the situation of his half-sister and enmity with his biological father?
Aphrodite licked the water on the corner of her lips, plugged the spout, and nodded lightly with a smile.
Apollo's emerald eyes immediately lit up, and Aphrodite watched him, cunning leaking out of the corner of his eye.
Artemis followed Aphrodite's words for a while, and said with some happiness but a little distress: "The Muses... It would be best if they could be subdued and become obedient gods. But Apollo and I It’s not the main god, so I don’t have the qualifications to obey God.”
Apollo couldn't help but glance at Artemis with some annoyance in his eyes.
Aphrodite smiled happily. He easily took the initiative and said casually, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be good for the two Highnesses to become the main gods?"
