Chapter 76 The God Mountain Rising 076
Zeus' malice was a bit obvious, Aphrodite glanced at him calmly, got up and said, "God King, the council has nothing else to say, right?"
Zeus glanced at him, and let out a muffled groan from his nose, with a light expression: "Why, what are you doing?"
Aphrodite nodded and said seriously, "I want to invite all my friends to my temple. If you have nothing else to do, we will leave."
Zeus asked, "Who do you want to invite?"
Aphrodite covered her lips and smiled softly: "The visitor is a guest, and I welcome any god who comes."
Most of the gods wanted to befriend Aphrodite, but they were afraid of being targeted by Zeus and hated and wearing small shoes.
This is for ordinary gods, and the main gods naturally have no such scruples.
As soon as Aphrodite's voice fell, Ares couldn't wait to say: "His Royal Highness, I'm going!"
Hephaestus frowned: "Aris, can you be more prudent?"
Ares was embarrassed, Hera immediately became unhappy, and retorted for Ares: "Hephaestus, Ares is innocent and lively and enthusiastic, how can you say that he is unstable?"
Hephaestus sneered and turned to Aphrodite and said, "Your Highness, I can help you arrange the banquet."
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows, the beauty with golden light all over her body was amazing, and the twin gods and Demeter were also invited.
All of a sudden, the six main gods were empty, Zeus frowned, his face was uncertain, not very good-looking.
Then he snorted coldly and said, "The meeting is over!"
The gods left sparsely.
Aphrodite's invitation to several main gods to come out is not really a gathering, he is not enthusiastic or interested in this kind of thing.
When the gods followed him to the back garden of the Temple of Eros and sat down, the three goddesses of Meihui appeared gracefully and gracefully, instructing the Nymphs to present fruits, barbecued meat, and food, and the three of them also swayed. The flower-like skirts poured sweet drinks for the gods.
Aphrodite put the delicate bronze cup in her hand aside, and let the three goddesses of beauty leave. Cupid obediently hugged her legs and sat beside him. She looked very bluffing, and she was very obedient when she went up.
The gods sat in the blooming rose bush, and the roses gathered their sharp thorns beside the gods, and when only the main gods and Cupid were left in the back garden, Aphrodite said: "Everyone, I actually You weren't called here just for the party."
The gods were stunned for a while, then put down the wine glass in their hands, and made a posture of listening to him quietly.
Aphrodite sighed softly: "What I want to say is still related to the loss of the golden arrows. If nothing else, those lost golden arrows should have been picked up by Zeus."
Aphrodite gently turned the rose on her finger, leaning on the throne, her eyebrows drooping, indifference and indifference poured out from his eyes, he said coldly: "If there is no accident, the golden arrow will also Used by him on you. Especially you, Artemis."
The blonde goddess opened her eyes wide, showed a hesitant look, pointed to herself, and said in surprise, "Me?"
Aphrodite said lightly: "You swear to the river of oath that you will be a virgin goddess. If you accidentally break your precepts under the temptation of love, you will be punished by the law, then there will definitely be a rift between us, and Zeus will definitely Would love to see a scene like that.”
His gaze swept across the other gods: "There is another reason why I guess so. Because of the consequences caused by the golden arrow, only you will be punished for it. For the rest of us, it was just an accident. It's just an affair, and there is no threat. If I were Zeus, I would definitely use a golden arrow to deal with you. I don't know if he thinks so, but you have to be careful."
Artemis thought for a while, then nodded to indicate that he had written it down, so he would be careful.
Immediately afterwards, Aphrodite went to look at several other gods, her eyes swept across the male gods one by one, and finally fell on Demeter.
Demeter raised a charming smile, her amorous appearance was very attractive, she licked her lips lightly, and smiled tenderly: "Your Highness, you don't need to look at me. I'm not the same as my pure little niece. , I don't mind indulging in a wonderful love affair and looking forward to it."
Aphrodite groaned deeply: "Well... Then do you mind that Persephone also feels the wonderful love?"
Demeter's face changed suddenly, and without answering, everyone had already judged her thoughts from her expression.
Demeter's face was distorted, like a beauty snake tearing off her false beauty, "exposing" her hideous snake kiss: "Whoever dares to plot against Persephone, I will definitely kill him , ask him not to live, not to die."
Aphrodite sighed softly: "Then you have to live in Persephone."
Demeter clenched her fingers, unable to sit still.
Aphrodite said understandingly: "If you are in a hurry, go back and see Persephone. I have nothing else to do here. I invited you to come here mainly to talk about these things."
Demeter nodded absent-mindedly and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, then I'll leave first."
Aphrodite nodded, Demeter raised the glass, touched the glass with Aphrodite, the two drank the wine, and Demeter left in a hurry.
Hephaestus groaned: "But Your Highness, you said that you lost three golden arrows. Will the last golden arrow be used by Zeus against you?"
"Like, what made you fall in love with him?"
Ares asked Hephaestus anxiously: "Brother, can you give Your Highness a pair of armor to prevent His Highness from being 'shot' by a golden arrow?"
Hephaestus sneered: "You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing."
Ares glanced at Aphrodite with some grievances, and a thin golden light emerged, hiding Aphrodite behind the holy and gentle light curtain, so that Ares could not see his face clearly.
Aphrodite's fingertips lightly lit the halo, and smiled: "That, I'm talking nonsense. In fact, only two golden arrows should be lost, but I'm not sure, but I don't need armor, I have Other methods can prevent the effects of the golden arrow."
Apollo nodded and said, "That's fine, that's fine."
Aphrodite squinted at him and said lightly, "Apollo, aren't you worried that Artemis will fall in love with someone else?"
Apollo tilted his head, and his long golden hair hung down smoothly. He grinned and showed a big smile. His expression was bright and sunny, but his words were cruel and cruel. He said, "Don't worry about it. , because I will kill the daring guy who dared to seduce my sister and cut off all possible consequences."
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows, Apollo blinked, and looked at him innocently.
Aphrodite put the wine bottle to her lips, raised her head with a smile, and took a sip of the mellow wine.
Because the gods here are all relatively familiar, although the relationship between the Gemini Lord God and Hera, and the relationship between Hera's two gods, the atmosphere between the gods is very subtle, but it is still good to play with each other. Well, Cupid acted as a lubricant, going back and forth between several gods, because he loved Wu Jiwu, everyone liked him very much, and the subtlety soon dissipated.
Cupid was still obsessed with his prey, grabbed Artemis' sleeve and said, "Sister, when will you take me to hunt again?"
Artemis looked up at Aphrodite subconsciously, Aphrodite looked at Cupid with a heavy gaze, and Cupid suddenly hesitated, and said obediently: "Father, Cupid will definitely not use the golden arrow in the future. 』『Shooting』~"
Aphrodite withdrew her gaze and hummed lightly.
Aphrodite didn't want to spoil the fun. She drank a lot of wine with a few gods. Seeing that they were a little drunk, she asked Fairy Nymph to help them to rest, and then she also fell asleep with her arms in her arms. Cupid, who was wearing it, went to the dormitory to rest.
The golden light flew into the mirror world and turned into Narcissus. He supported the mirror and looked at Aphrodite, whose face was slightly red, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you drunk? "
Aphrodite didn't say a word, closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, as if she was really drunk and fell asleep.
Narcissus stared at him blankly, but after a while Aphrodite suddenly opened her eyes and lay down on the bed.
Although his face was flushed, his eyes were very clear.
Aphrodite and Narcissus said: "I was thinking about something just now. I checked the absorption of Eros' divine power through Cupid. I think I absorbed the part about desire very quickly, and I can even condense it. Part of the priesthood. But he still seems to have a little power of love sealed in him, and there is almost no change. Narcissus, what do you think is going on?"
Narcissus hesitated: "Could it be because you have never loved someone?"
Aphrodite glanced at him: "But before I took control of rational love and blind love that I didn't share with Cupid, I didn't think I had a problem with love."
However, Narcissus said: "The love you controlled before was someone else's. The love of others for you, perhaps the love of Eros is your own love."
Aphrodite was slightly startled and frowned: "Forget it, forget about that part of the power. Let Cupid slowly absorb the power of Eros, and we'll talk about it later."
"The top priority is to gather the power of the abyss titans. Prometheus' speed seems to be pretty good."
Aphrodite calculated the power she currently has: "Once the power of Eros is absorbed, I will immediately possess the power of the original god. But in the words of His Royal Highness Tartarus, I had better absorb the power of Eros. Before the power of Loos, let other powers be equal to the power of lust. If I use all the powers of the godhead of the sky, the godhead of life, the world of ice and the godhead, the godhead of the Titan god, and the seven star god pillars, It should be able to suppress the power of Eros, so I don't have to worry about my power being assimilated by the power of love..."
"The sky in the realm of the gods is born from the earth. I can't get my hands on the godhead of the earth, but I also try to go in the opposite direction. The world sinks into the earth, and the water vapor rises and falls into the sea. Life creates all things, and the heavens and stars turn into the sun, moon, stars and sky All the elements have been gathered, and the power is about to accumulate enough. At the same time, with the help of the law, it seems that as long as the power of Eros is absorbed, I can create the world. But——"
Aphrodite frowned deeply, and a trace of irritability flashed between his brows. He suddenly became agitated and muttered: "I didn't think about it before, I never felt anything. But now, when I think about it, I always have a feeling It feels like I forgot something."
"What did I forget? Narcissus, do you have an idea?"
Narcissus shook his head blankly, and Aphrodite had no choice but to guess: "Could it have something to do with Mnemosyne, she affected my memory? But she is not as powerful as me, not even the main god, she should not be able to control it. My memory is. Or is it related to the jewelry she is preparing? Tartarus warned me not to accept jewelry from the goddess, but I haven't received a gift from Mnemosyne, how could I Do you feel forgotten now?"
The more Aphrodite thought about it, the more solemn her expression became. He can be sure that he really forgot something, otherwise there would not be such obvious anxiety.
But he couldn't think of anything, it was so abnormal.
Why don't you ask the rules?
Aphrodite couldn't sit still, and immediately escaped into the ice world to communicate the laws.
It's a pity that the law can't give him the answer, it's not that he doesn't know, but that he can't.
The law only told him—
[Forgetting is not only about you, but also the world. ]
Aphrodite felt that she was caught in a confusing situation. Because of the loss of memory and lack of information, she couldn't find the omission of things, which made him feel very annoyed.
And the description of the law also put a little pressure on him, an existence that the world has forgotten, who is 'He', and is he the god of this world? How powerful is he that the world will forget him, and no god can remember him?
Aphrodite's face sank like water, and Narcissus persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you really can't remember, don't think about it. Maybe one day when the blessing comes to your heart, you suddenly have a clue?"
Aphrodite sighed softly: "But this is artificial... Maybe if he doesn't show up, I'll never know who he is? Well, could it be Eros? He didn't really die?"
Thinking of this, Aphrodite shook her head again and denied her thoughts: "Although I don't know how Eros died, his power is indeed flowing to me, it can't be him. Or maybe it's Chaos. ? As the God of Creation, He should have the power to "fascinate" and "confuse" the world."
But intuition reminded Aphrodite that it was not the two gods above that he had forgotten.
After a long time, Aphrodite sighed softly: "Narsises, you are right, if you really can't think of it, don't think about it. The top priority is to improve your own strength. With the help of the law, I will not be powerless to resist. I don’t believe that this guy I have forgotten is stronger than Chaos.”
Narcissus asked in a low voice, "What if he is stronger."
After he said this, he regretted it. His Highness was distressed by that unknown god. Wouldn't it make His Highness unhappy if he said this...
Narcissus thought anxiously, but Aphrodite laughed instead, and the calm smile concealed some very shallow confusion and anxiety: "... If you are not as skilled as others, you will be defeated. It is worse than Zeus' incompetence. Fury has lost its grace."
Narcissus said softly, "Yeah."
Aphrodite thought for a while, but then said: "I don't know if it's because of the self-deception in my heart. I don't seem to be afraid of the one I forgot about him, but annoyance in my heart. Perhaps, he It may not be powerful, but the means are very special."
Narcissus said something irrelevant: "His Royal Highness, no matter when and where, I will always accompany you, and live and die with you."
Aphrodite responded lightly and pushed her long silver hair behind her. He sat up, arranged some messy clothes for himself, and said, "I'm going to find Hera. The golden apple tree and I exchanged the purifying priesthood, and I never picked a golden apple again except for picking a 'life' that time. Although the power contained in the golden apple is very small, it still has something special. "
Narcissus asked, "Can I go with you?"
Aphrodite reattached the golden belt that she had taken off while resting, and said with a chuckle, "Not during Nemesis, but it can be done during Aphrodite's time."
Narcissus made an "ah" sound, flew out of the mirror, and wrapped around Aphrodite's arm and body.
Aphrodite's expression returned to normal. He walked out of the temple and instructed the three goddesses of beauty before leaving. After Hephaestus and the others woke up, let them do their own work and go to the golden apple tree garden to enjoy the golden apple trees. Go, if there is no accident, don't go to him.
The three goddesses of beauty took the lead, and Aphrodite left.
Aphrodite first went to the apse to meet Hera and asked Hera to open the Holy Garden of Hesperus to him.
Because Hera touched the stamen of the golden apple and became pregnant, neither Hera nor Zeus wanted to have another child for no reason, so the golden apple tree was moved from the mountain and is now kept in the holy garden , guarded by the dragon Ladon.
After knowing Aphrodite's intention, Hera's expression was a little strange, and there was a trace of resentment.
Aphrodite intuited that her expression was related to 'Nemesis'. He was afraid that he would feel guilty if he stayed with her for a long time, so after going to the oracle, he left the mountain and went to Hesperis. Holy Garden.
The Holy Garden is not far from the mountain, and it is not on the ground, but floating in the sky.
This is a floating island.
Aphrodite drove the chariot of dawn to the Holy Garden, and from a distance, she saw the terrifying appearance of the hundreds of giant dragons pulling and spinning outside the island, roaring at the people watching the Holy Garden.
Aphrodite flew in the chariot directly and threw the oracle to Ladon.
After checking that the oracle was qualified, Ladon quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to patrol outside the Holy Garden.
The golden apple tree is very tall and very large, and the canopy covers the sky above the Holy Garden of Hesperis. After Aphrodite entered the holy garden, she could see the leaves on the top of her head and the looming, glittering golden apples in the canopy. .
He got off the gorgeous, delicate and atmospheric car of the dawn, teleported to a tree trunk, and picked a golden apple. Coincidentally, it had 'desire' written on it.
Aphrodite felt that the golden apple tree might have a spirit, so it would give him the most suitable one to pick the golden apple tree.
Aphrodite picked two more golden apples, on which were written 'love' and 'marriage'.
Aphrodite gently bit down the golden apple tree and no longer cared about what happened to the sacred mountain and humans.
He stayed in the holy garden for a long time, because Hera did not care, and Ladon did not dare to urge him to come out.
Soon after, a group of new, desire-side gods were created by Aphrodite. They were Harmonia, the goddess of harmony and harmony, Moss, the god of fear, Phobos, the god of intimidation, and the god of love. Anteros, Hymenaeus, god of weddings, Priapus, god of reproduction, and Hermaphrodites, god of dual sex.
The other gods are okay, but the last god of dual sex, Aphrodite, doesn't know how it appeared.
But in general, the results of his trip to the Holy Garden this time were very rich. Although a little power was allocated to create a new god, the birth of a new god also means that he has mastered more than half of the power of desire.
And when their strength grows in the later stage, they will also feed back to Aphrodite, it's just a matter of time.
Aphrodite was reluctant to think about Shu in the holy garden, but suddenly there was chaos on the mountain.
There are three things. One is that Poseidon's son, Orion, a very "excellent" hunter, invited Artemis, the goddess of hunting, to compete with him to hunt, but in the middle of the journey, it was said that he found it. The golden arrow scratched Artemis, making Artemis fall in love with him after seeing him.
Let's not say how Artemis is feeling, but Apollo and Poseidon are about to get up. Apollo wanted to kill Orion directly, but Poseidon would not let him.
The second thing is that Pandora opened the magic box that sealed the curse of the gods. Floods, plagues, diseases, aging... All the curses rushed out of the magic box and swept all mankind. Countless people die every day. As a result, the workload of the underworld increased greatly, and Hades had no choice but to bring a group of underworld gods to the world to seduce souls.
By the way, asked Zeus about the disaster of Phaeton, and how long did it take for the new human beings to be created? He suddenly came here, what did he want to do!
It is a pity that Hades' questioning did not result, because the third dispute was related to him. After Hades questioned Zeus, Zeus became angry and shot Hades with a golden arrow. As a result, Hades accidentally arrived because Persephone, who was not strictly controlled by Demeter and could only sneak out to play.
Under the influence of the golden arrow, he fell in love with Persephone, and under the excitement, he directly took Persephone away.
It is conceivable that Demeter, who loved her daughter like her life, went crazy after learning about this.
Because of the mess on the mountain, no one had time to tell Aphrodite when it happened.
Aphrodite's source is Cupid.
Because the great gods shot by the golden arrows were too powerful, the more Cupid thought about it, the more afraid he became. For fear of being caught by the great gods to vent his anger, he did not dare to stay on the mountain at all. He ran away with the golden bow overnight and went to Aphrodite.The Blessed came.
