"Aunt Styx, thank you for taking care of me these days, I will remember it in my heart. However, as a god, I don't want to be sheltered under your light and receive your protection. I don't believe that so-called Destiny can determine a person's life when he is just born. This time I left, I have found a way to become stronger. When I come back next time, I will have the same skills as you. A power feared by all gods and men.
When we see each other again, I hope it is me who will protect you, instead of you protecting me. When you receive this parchment, please help convey it to Sister Artemis, Aunt Hestia, Aunt Demeter, and Sister Persephone. Of course, if you have the chance to meet my mother Leto, my aunt Asteria, and my brother Apollo.
Please tell them that I love them and want to protect them. Love you little Adros. "
While Styx went to see them off and left the parchment in Styx's room, Adros hurried to the bank of the River Styx. He was worried that Styx would come back soon and would not be able to slip away then. Lose.
Looking at the turbulent black river water, Adros gritted his teeth, took out the small white jade bottle Xuan Ming left for him, swallowed the drop of blood essence in the bottle, then took out the ice bead and swallowed it in one gulp. , and finally jumped towards the terrifying river.
Entering the river, Adros finally experienced what it felt like to be in the world of ice and fire. He looked inside himself, and the drop of blood entered his body and immediately came to his heart. As his heart beat, a It decomposes the essence in the blood bit by bit and distributes it throughout the body.
As soon as he took the ice beads, a bone-chilling feeling immediately came over him, and he suddenly felt that his soul was about to freeze. Then, a stream of heat rose from the abdomen and spread throughout the body, and the temperature slowly increased.
The cold current passed through his internal organs and went straight to his bones and skin without stopping. The hot current formed a golden-white flame in his abdomen, burning his internal organs.
Outside his body, the water of the Styx kept washing over his body, like a thousand cuts, causing him to endure endless pain and his whole body twitching involuntarily.
Just like that, with the burning in his internal organs, the coldness in his skin and bones, and the washing of the water of the Styx on his body, Adros felt like he had entered the legendary eighteenth level of hell, experiencing the most severe torture in the world. penalty.
In just a moment, he passed out from the pain with a pale face. He didn't know how long it took, but he woke up again in the endless pain. In this way, in this river that symbolized hatred and oaths, he drifted along the river, waking up and fainting, fainting and waking up again.
Although he is a descendant of the gods, he may be able to resist the invasion of the water of the Styx, but it is still not enough to resist the cold and heat brought by the ice beads Xuan Ming gave him. This ice bead was formed by Xuanming, the ancestral shaman who was in charge of ice and rain, using his lifelong magical power to freeze the Sunfire Divine Light of the Emperor of Heaven, Donghuang Taiyi.
Not to mention Adros, even his cheap father Zeus may not be able to resist the coldness from the origin of chaos and the magical power composed of the flame at the center of the sun.
However, in Adros's heart, there is still a drop of Pangu essence blood condensed by the twelve ancestral witches. Its divinity is extremely powerful. It decomposes bit by bit and travels from the heart to the internal organs, bones and nine orifices, and even the muscles, bones and skin of the limbs. The cold current and heat wave did not consume a single point of his body, but this essence and blood made up for two points, allowing his body to continue to strengthen.
The water of the Styx washed the surface of his skin and strengthened his skin, preventing him from exploding his body when the ice and fire were mixed together and Pangu's essence and blood had not yet melted.

While Adros was washing himself in the River Styx, Styx was furious. She was shocked when she received the parchment from Adros, and hurried to where the gate of hell was, but was told by Cerberus, the three-headed hell dog guarding the gate, that Adros had not left the underworld through this door.
So she invited Persephone, Hestia, and Demeter over again. Several anxious goddesses searched the vast underworld for a long time, but in the end they found no trace of Adelaide. Traces of Rose's visit.
"After searching for so long, we still haven't found any trace of little Adros. He may have left the underworld through a portal we don't know about." Persephone said while looking at the three people who were also searching but found nothing.
When she said this, the other three people thought it was very possible. After all, the underworld is one of the oldest places of birth in the world. No one knows how many secrets are hidden under the boundless darkness. Even if there are some passages that they are not aware of yet, it is extremely normal.
"How about this. Persephone continues to the underworld to look for possible traces of him. Sister Styx, you are the eldest sister of the Ocean Goddess, so go search in the vast sea. Demeter, You are the god in charge of the harvest in the world, so go and find it in the vast land." Hestia paused, a strange light flashed in her eyes: "As for me, I will visit the oldest gods and see. Is it possible that one of them has found a way to make Adros transcend his fate?"
"We are all fine, but you, eldest sister, those ancient gods are not easy to talk to." Demeter said worriedly. She has been walking in the world for a long time and knows something about those ancient gods. Although they are not famous, they are all All have great strength.
Styx also said: "Indeed, those old guys have their eyes high and don't take us, the new gods, seriously."
Hestia glanced to the east, and a hint of coldness flashed across her usually calm face: "I will go to heaven and visit them one by one with the will of our god-king brother. Our family has become the home of the gods. The rulers have been here for almost a hundred years, but they have never taken us seriously. It’s time to make changes. We can do better than them what the Titans were able to do back then.”
"Yes, our family is the master of this world, and we should let those gods bow their heads." Persephone, who had always been pure and beautiful, looked enthusiastic at this time.
After hearing what Hestia and Persephone said, Styx took a deep look at them. He had long known that such a day would come. There are no simple children of Cronus. She is a Titan, but her children all work for Zeus. She is caught in the middle and has long since decided not to care about these fights. She just whispered to herself, little Adros, where are you? Auntie misses you very much.

Above the endless ocean, a huge four-legged sea monster is raging. All life around it has been devoured by it, and it is a dead zone for several miles. Some weak water monsters and sea fairies were watching this sea monster destroying their homes, and they could only feel helpless and sad.
At this time, a sound of barking came, and then, two white sacred deer pulled a golden carriage appeared in their eyes. The reins on the carriage were all golden color. In the carriage, a man was sitting upright. A goddess who is extremely young and beautiful, but whose childishness has not completely faded away. She is wearing a short skirt and hunting boots, holding a golden bow and arrow, and is riding the waves in a carriage. Behind her were dozens of beautiful ocean nymphs and water nymphs, who surrounded her and worshiped her.
"She's the goddess of the hunt."
"It is the beautiful and heroic Her Majesty Artemis."
······
Seeing the appearance of this goddess, the water monsters and sea nymphs, who were no longer bothered by this water monster, were extremely excited and rushed to introduce this goddess to their companions. The person who came was none other than Adros's eldest sister, Artemis, who had been separated from him for two years.
Seeing this ugly sea monster, Artemis raised her golden bow high, attached a silver arrow, and shot at the sea monster.
The sea monster had already noticed Artemis's arrival and dismissed her. When it saw the extremely fast silver arrows in the air, it began to evade in a hurry. However, its speed of evasion was far less than the speed of the arrow shot by this golden bow, and an arrow hit its left eye.
The sea monster was in pain and let out a shocking roar. A huge wave arose on the sea surface and swam towards Artemis quickly.
When Artemis saw it, she was not anxious at all and ordered the goddesses behind her to spread out and surround the sea monster to prevent it from escaping. Then, she opened the golden bow again, but this time, what was shot from the string was not an arrow, but a pile of overwhelming arrows, which were densely packed and shot towards the sea monster.
After seeing this sea monster, it was frightened and stunned for a while, and then hurriedly sank into the sea, hoping to use the sea water to avoid these arrows. It thought well, but contrary to expectations, these arrows were not hindered by the sea water. Instead, more than half of them hit its body, making it riddled with holes.
With countless wounds on its body, the sea monster began to struggle in pain and had no intention of attacking others. At this time, the ocean goddesses scattered around took out a huge black fishing net, trapped the sea monster in the fishing net, and pulled it in front of Artemis and her car.
Artemis looked at this scene with satisfaction and shouted with a smile: "Let's go back." The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her blond hair, making it even more dazzling and charming.
Back in Arcadia, Artemis took out a piece of parchment from the space. She didn't know how many times she had taken it out. This was what Styx brought to him three years ago when he came to the ocean from the underworld. They were also the last words Adros left before he left.
Normally, she seemed to be very happy when she was with the ocean goddesses. However, when she was alone, helplessness and self-blame filled her heart.
Putting the parchment away, she decided it was time to leave.
