Supreme God

Chapter 41: Aphrodite's engagement

Views:

Among the gods who now belong to the Olympian pantheon, the previous generation of Titans included Hyperion, the lord of the sky, and Theia, the goddess of light, as well as Themis, the lord of justice, Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, and Time. Five goddess Rhea. But Hyperion and Theia never appeared in the Olympus hall. As for their children Helios, the sun god, and Selene, the moon god, they are not so much Olympus gods. Said to be the god of Zeus.

Although there is no nominal affiliation, Helios and Selene, like the four children of the Oath Goddess, only obey the orders of Zeus.

As for Themis, the Lord of Justice, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, they had a relationship with Zeus before Zeus married Hera, but they had no personal contact after that. Mnemosyne, a literary youth, likes to wander around, leaving the nine Muses on Mount Olympus. If Themis hadn't found her this time, she might not have shown up. Themis, the goddess in charge of justice, has always regarded Olympus as her place of cultivation. She is unselfish, enforces the law like a mountain, and pays little attention to the affairs of Olympus and the world.

The mother of Zeus and Hera, the goddess of time, Rhea, although she has always lived on Mount Olympus, has never shown her face. Only they, as children, can see her.

Zeus and his generation include Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia and Demeter. They are all the children of Cronus and Rhea and can be said to be a family.

Not to mention the next generation of Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus and Ares, they are also the children of Zeus.

It can be said that the Olympus pantheon was constructed by Zeus's brothers, sisters, lovers, children and his gods, and there were no outsiders at all.

There is only one exception, and that is the newly joined goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. She was born after Scythe took over the throne, and she has nothing to do with the Titans.

Thinking of this, Hera said: "Your Majesty the King of Gods, I have a proposal that the gods might as well listen to."

Zeus was both grateful and satisfied with Hera at this time. After all, it was Hera who persuaded his children who had the most objections to him to return to Mount Olympus, not to mention that they still had a grudge against Hera. When he heard Hera's proposal, he said carelessly: "Okay, as long as it is feasible, I will allow it."

Hera smiled: "You and Poseidon Hades both have their own wives, but the goddess Aphrodite is still alone. I think you can choose the most suitable one among your sons. and marry Aphrodite to him."

As soon as Hera's words came out, both Apollo, Ares, and even the ugly Hephaestus looked expectant and surprised. Aphrodite is worthy of the name of the most beautiful woman among the gods. No matter in appearance or temperament, she is the only one they have ever seen in their lives. It is impossible for the young gods to say that they have no ideas.

Zeus, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face after hearing this. He was full of ambitions towards the beautiful and alluring Aphrodite. In his heart, this is the most beautiful goddess among the gods, and only he, the king of the gods, is qualified to possess her. For a moment, he paused, not knowing what to say.

"Okay." The first one to speak was Themis, the goddess of justice, speaking concisely.

"I think it's good, but I wonder what you think of Hades, Poseidon, and Demeter?"

Hestia rolled her eyes at Zeus. She didn't know what Zeus was thinking, but she felt that Hera's proposal was very good. It would allow Aphrodite to truly become an Olympian god, rather than an alien god.

Hades nodded slightly. This was indeed a good idea for the Olympus God System.

"Good idea." Poseidon looked at Zeus with a smile and said loudly. Seeing this beautiful goddess, he couldn't help but be moved. Without even thinking, he could guess that his brother the God King must also have intentions. Amphitrite was so tight-minded, and she was often in the sea. Anyway, she couldn't win the heart of the beauty, and she couldn't take advantage of Zeus.

Demeter also smiled slightly: "I think it's good, but I don't know what Aphrodite thinks about it."

Aphrodite said calmly: "Since I have joined the Olympus God System, I naturally obey the arrangements of His Majesty the God King and God Queen." The words seemed to be discussing a trivial matter.

So the eyes of all the gods fell on Zeus, who was silent on the throne, waiting for his answer.

"Your Majesty the God King, what do you think?" Hera looked at Zeus with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with meaning. How could she not understand that her husband was so erotic

"If you have anything to think about, just say it if you don't want to." Persephone, the wife of Hades, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and Queen of the Underworld, mocked.

When she said this, Zeus suddenly felt that he could not get off the stage, and was secretly angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about this guilty daughter.

"Okay, I agree. I just don't know who you think is the most suitable candidate. After all, when it comes to the life of the goddess Aphrodite, you can't make decisions casually." Zeus suddenly thought of a delaying strategy: " Let me see, which of my sons can get the approval of two-thirds of the gods present, we can let him marry the goddess Aphrodite."

In his opinion, it is already impossible for his three sons, no matter who they are, to be recognized by half of the gods, let alone two-thirds.

After a pause, he smiled at Hera again and said, "Hera, what do you think?"

Hera nodded: "I think it's very good. Most people must agree. After all, the goddess Aphrodite is the most beautiful existence among the gods and cannot be taken lightly."

"As long as you agree, Apollo, Hephaestus, Ares, whoever wants to marry the goddess Aphrodite can stand up and let the gods vote together." Zeus smiled, looking at his The three sons looked threatening.

There were six gods present, including Zeus and his wife, Poseidon and his son, and Hades and his wife, plus the two sisters Hestia and Demeter, the two sisters Themis and Mnemosyne, and Apollo, Athena, and five of them, making a total of fifteen people.

Neither Apollo nor the brothers Ares and Hephaestus were sure that more than ten gods would support him.

"Since you all have no intention of getting married to Aphrodite, forget it. It's such a pity. It seems that she has no chance to be my son." Zeus said with a relaxed expression as he looked at his sons who were standing still.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty Zeus, you must have forgotten that you have a son, right?" Hera said from the side.

When Artemis heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she knocked Apollo next to her with her golden bow and gave him a threatening look. Apollo reacted, paused, glanced at the God of Love and Beauty not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled with relief and nodded to Artemis.

Zeus frowned: "You mean Leto's third son?" He learned from Iris that Leto had given birth to three siblings, but the youngest son's talent was extremely low, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Yes, he is also your son and should be treated equally."

"Of course, let the gods vote and see how many people agree with this marriage contract." Zeus was noncommittal. He did not believe that a son who had never been to Olympus could let the gods risk offending him. , agree to this engagement.

"I agree, that's my intention. I thanked the Queen for brother Adros." Artemis was the first to speak, with a smile, and then glanced at Apollo from the corner of her eye.

Apollo got the hint and said quickly: "I also agree. I will thank the Queen for my brother."

Queen Persephone shuddered, and then said crisply: "I agree too." Then she looked at Hades, who had been watching the show, and motioned for him to stand up.

Hades had no choice but to say to Zeus: "I agree." He could not refuse his wife's request and almost never refused.

In the blink of an eye, four gods agreed, which surprised Zeus a little, but he didn't take it to heart.

"I agree." For Poseidon, such a blessing only needs to be enjoyed by Zeus. Moreover, Adros has a relationship with him, and his sister Artemis once fought for him.

Since his father Poseidon agreed, Triton, as his son, quickly stood up to support.

Then Hestia looked cold and Demeter smiled, both expressing their approval of the engagement.

Seeing that eight people had agreed, Zeus was inevitably a little nervous. He looked at the remaining gods, hoping that no one would agree except Hera.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed. Themis, the goddess of justice, whom he had always admired, also expressed her support, and behind her, Mnemosyne, who had always obeyed Themis's instructions, naturally also expressed her approval. For the two of them, as long as Aphrodite marries Olympus, it doesn't matter who it is.

Glancing at Zeus who looked abnormal, Hera snorted and smiled: "Your Majesty the King of Gods, you see, ten gods have already agreed, so I won't take a stand."

Zeus glanced at Hera coldly, and then glanced at the gods, especially those who agreed. Finally, under everyone's gaze, he could only loudly announce that he would marry Aphrodite to Adros.

Aphrodite was neither sad nor happy, as if the person who was given the marriage was not him.

However, Ares, the youngest son of Zeus and Hera, looked regretful and angry. If he had known that a god who had not come here could get the consent of so many people, he should have stood up earlier. Now, he could only watch helplessly as his goddess was about to become the wife of another god.

Athena stretched beside her. She found that she liked Olympus more and more, and there were often good shows to watch.

Adros, who was not here, didn't know that he had been arranged to have an engagement, and the person he was engaged to was a goddess that he had heard of in his previous life.

On the second day after the scene in Mount Olympus, Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, finally arrived at the foot of Mount Olympus with his descendants.
