Aphrodite did not come down from Olympus with Adros in the end, but Adros was not disappointed at all, because this time, Aphrodite opened her heart to him, her origins, her The mission and her purpose were all clear to Adros.
The first god-king Uranus was usurped by the Titan's scythe, his lower body was castrated, and after he fell into the sea, Aphrodite, the goddess who symbolized love and beauty, was born. In other words, Aphrodite is actually the same generation of gods as the Titans, and can be regarded as the grandmother of Adros.
Before Aphrodite was born on the sea, she was taught by the first god king Uranus, whether it was the use of divine power or the law of communication. It was not until Aphrodite was born a hundred years later that Uranus left. .
Due to her good nature and the training of a powerful god, Aphrodite became a powerful main god as soon as she was born. On the same day, she defeated Phorcys, the wrath of the sea, the son of Pontus, who coveted her beauty.
Since her birth, Aphrodite has found a place to live in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs, so there are few rumors about her among the gods. Until the Typhon Rebellion began, Ouranos, who had not been seen for a thousand years, began to contact Aphrodite and ordered her to find ways to penetrate into Olympus and become an important member of them.
What happened later became clear. Aphrodite went to Olympus, then became the goddess of love and beauty entrusted to her by the king of gods, and then married Adros, all in order to complete the mission entrusted to her by Uranus. .
Now that humans have just been born, it is a good time to spread the divine power. Ouranos even told her how to use human faith to temper the power of law. Therefore, Aphrodite spent a night communicating with Adros, which finally made Adros's waist sore, before she agreed to continue on Mount Olympus.
Before leaving, Adros kissed Aphrodite's plump lips hard and said reluctantly: "Every year after the autumn harvest, I will go to your temple in Paphos to watch with you the celebrations your people dedicate to you. , remember to wash up and wait for me." When he said this, he had a wicked smile on his face.
Aphrodite's cheeks were slightly red, and her jade face felt shy. She looked to the side, and when she saw no one else around, she said bitterly: "I don't want to wash it off."
Adros laughed and said, "That's fine, I'll help you clean it up."
After finishing speaking, Adros did not stay in Aphrodite's palace for long, so he said goodbye to Aphrodite, and then went to the hunting temple of Artemis to meet his mother Leto and his brothers and sisters. bid farewell.
Compared with Apollo's indifferent expression, Leto and Artemis were obviously a little sad. Artemis even said dissatisfied: "Really, I couldn't even stay in Olympus to help that woman." ”
Although Leto didn't say anything, he looked at Adros with a hint of blame.
Adros also understood that his mother and sister had not yet let go of the fact that Hera had sent people to hunt down their family. He didn't want to say more. Although Hera was nice to him, a fault was a fault. He just smiled lightly: "I just got tired of staying on Mount Olympus and wanted to go for a walk. If my mother and sister miss me, they will visit us every year. This month of your birthday, I will go to my sister’s Temple of Artemis in Ephesus to accompany you.”
Leto could only nod in agreement. Her other children, including herself, were enshrined in the human world on Mount Olympus, and their strength would quickly improve. It was impossible to accompany Adros in the human world all day long. walk.
Perhaps Olympus is the seat of the orthodox divine court in this world. Not to mention other gods, even Adros feels that divine power grows faster on Mount Olympus than elsewhere.
······
Adros, who left Olympus, set his first stop in the underworld. He stayed in seclusion for three years and did not know how the goddesses in the underworld were doing.
As he headed west, he discovered that cities were being built almost everywhere in the world, and those legendary warriors, narcissus, and even some gods became the craftsmen who built the city. Tall cities rose from the ground to provide a place for humans to live and work in peace and contentment. After the city was built, the first thing to do was to build temples of the gods to worship the gods of Olympus.
The status of Olympus can best be discovered from the human world. All non-Olympus gods, except Gaia, the mother of the earth, still have temples that have survived since a long time ago. Other gods no longer have temples.
It is very simple for them to obtain sacrifices in the world. They must seek refuge in Olympus and become the gods of the Olympus gods. Of course, if you are strong enough, you don't need to become a god, and Zeus will not be stingy with a priesthood.
For example, the two brothers Anders and Olboros came to Olympus with their strength to become the main gods, which made Zeus very happy. He divided the former into an Andean god, guarding an important gateway to the Chaos pantheon, while the latter directly became the mountain god of the Holy Mountain of Olympus, guarding the divine court for the gods.
Among the gods between heaven and earth, the one that Zeus controls the most is the mountain god. After all, when the ancient mountain god Uriah's line was destroyed, almost all of his descendants were killed, leaving many mountain god seats vacant. . All the gods know this, so many gods who can increase their strength with the help of the mountain god priesthood have come to Olympus one after another.
Seeing the situation in the world, Adros looked up at the stars and thought to himself: "If I have the chance, I must go to the stars. Otherwise, I, the North Star God, may not be able to become the Ziwei Emperor."
······
Coming to the underworld again, Adros immediately noticed many changes. There were many more gods that he didn't recognize in the underworld. Patrol the underworld and manage ghosts so that the vast underworld is no longer as loose as before.
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Adros did not stay long, avoided the patrolling gods, and flew to the River Styx.
"Styx, I am the river god of the underworld promised by Hades himself. You must hand over these rivers of the underworld today if you don't want to."
"Delamene, I was canonized by the God King Zeus himself. All the gods in heaven and earth know me as the Goddess of Styx. Even this river of oaths, the gods only know it as the River of Styx."
Diramene, upon hearing this name, Adros's face changed. If he remembered correctly, among the eight divisions of the underworld, the Lord of the River Division was called Diramene.
He quickly went there and saw from a distance above the palace at the source of the River Styx, two groups of people were confronting each other. On one side was Styx, the goddess of oaths, with several of her subordinate gods of the River Styx; on the other side, a group of abyssal people came over. Gods, because there was one god among them, and Adros was deeply impressed. It was Sao, the son of the leader of the Abyss River Tribe, who was pursuing Odora, the most beautiful woman in the Abyss.
"I also know this, but Zeus is only a mortal god king, how can he care about the affairs of the underworld. I advise you to hand over the Styx, but act as a god to me, and I can consider letting you continue to be in charge of the Styx. "Beside Sa'ou, a middle-aged god who looked seventy-nine similar to him laughed loudly.
Adros thought to himself: "It seems that this person should be the father of Sao, Diramene."
I heard Styx sneer: "In the past hundred years, no one has dared to say that I should become a god. Don't you want to be the Lord of the River Styx? Here you go, see if you can afford it."
As she finished speaking, a huge black wave, like a water dragon, rolled up from the River of Oaths and rushed toward the gods in the abyss.
Diramene was shocked. Although he came out of the abyss for the first time, he had heard about the power of the Oath River. He quickly used his divine power to push his son Sao and other men away, and then he As he rowed, a water-like barrier stood in front of him, and the water drawn by Styx from the River Styx was immediately blocked by this barrier.
Styx chuckled: "Let me see how much you can block?"
Then, dozens of water dragons flew out together, almost covering the entire surrounding area, and swept away all the gods coming from the abyss.
Diramene was horrified when she saw it. She expanded the water pattern barrier and barely blocked the water flow, but her hands kept shaking, which was obviously a sign of lack of strength. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he shouldn't have come to the Styx to cause trouble for the Styx goddess, he should have lured her out.
"You guys leave quickly." He quickly said to his subordinates behind him, then took out a hand, took out a double-stranded river fork, and slashed it forward, creating a passage.
Sao and other gods of the abyss also know that the water in the River Styx cannot be touched easily. If you are not careful, the divinity of the divine power will be erased.
"Can you leave?"
A young man in green robes walked out from the black waves in the sky. He seemed not to be worried about the harm caused by the Styx water to him. He stood at the end of the passage cut by Diramene, holding a black long bow and setting it up. A long red arrow.
"Is that you, Adros?"
Sao looked surprised when he saw the visitor, but then became extremely nervous. The visitor was an old acquaintance with him, but the relationship was not good, and he had been defeated by him before. Especially the bow and arrow in his hand, which was the magic weapon that seriously injured the goddess Felusa, the master of the spirit department. The terrifying golden-white flame was still fresh in his memory.
Sure enough, as soon as Adros let go of his hand, he saw a red stream of light flash across, an arrow pierced into the heart of the subordinate next to him, and then golden-white flames rose blazingly. The gods in the abyss seemed to have no time to react. The power and speed of the sun-shooting bow, even if Adros had not fully opened it, were not something that these miscellaneous gods could stop.
The god who was shot screamed in pain and rolled on the ground in the flames, but Sa'ou could do nothing. He was not the Lord of the Abyss, not even the Lord God, and could not use the power of law to help him expel the flames.
Moreover, he was sweating profusely at this time, and he was very worried that Adros's next arrow would be aimed at him. Looking at his red arrow, Sao wanted to hide in the black water, but he did not dare to bear the price of losing his divinity.
