The palace under the sea is magnificent and magnificent, far from being comparable to the nameless island where Adros and the others live. Seeing this beautiful underwater palace, Adros couldn't help but think of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
But although the Dragon King of the Four Seas is said to be a dragon, in the eyes of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, he is just a little snake, to be teased at will; and the owner of this palace is not comparable to the Dragon King of the Four Seas. He is the most orthodox Poseidon today, although he is still there Dormant, but sooner or later there will be huge waves in the sea.
Yes, Amphitrite's soon-to-be-married husband is none other than Zeus's brother, Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Along the way, Artemis looked around and around. She felt that she had a lot of fun in this underwater world, while listening to Styx talk about Poseidon's experience in pursuing Amphitrite.
Once, Poseidon saw her dancing with her sisters on the shore of Naxos Island. He was overwhelmed by Amphitrite's beauty and immediately wanted to pull her into the car and take her away, but Amphitrite Not Trite was hiding in Tibet. In order to avoid Poseidon, she even hid behind Atlas, the Titan who carried the sky on his strong shoulders. Poseidon could not find her for a long time. Later, a dolphin told Poseidon where she was hiding. Sedon.
Atlas, the god of heaven, is the son of Iapetus, the god of speech, and the younger brother of the wise Prometheus. During the Battle of the Titans, he sided with Cronus. After his defeat, he was punished by the god-king Zeus and raised his hands to the sky.
Amphitrite had been friends with Atlas since she was a child and hid behind him. When Poseidon finally found her, he defeated Atlas with the trident in his hand, leaving the shy Amphitite Rita came to Oceanus, the lord of the sea, to propose marriage, and eventually both Oceanus and Amphitrite agreed to his request.
Artemis curled her lips in disdain: "I didn't expect that Poseidon would also be infatuated." She once heard the goddess Leto say that Poseidon raped his own sister, the harvest goddess Demeter, which was very harmful to Poseidon. His character has always been deeply despised.
Poseidon used his younger brother Zeus as a "model to learn from" and also fell in love with his sister Demeter. Demeter did not agree, so she turned into a mare and hid in Oguges. Among the horses. But Poseidon turned into a stallion and killed Demeter's mare.
Adros shook his head slightly: "This is definitely not infatuation. There must be other reasons for Poseidon to marry Aunt Amphitrite."
Styx looked at Adros with a smile on his face, and narrowed his slender eyes: "I didn't expect little Adros to be so smart. It seems that we will have another wise man among the Titans." There are two recognized wise men among the Titans, one is Metis, the deceased goddess of wisdom, and the other is Prometheus hiding among mortals.
Regarding Styx's inclusion of him among the Titans, Adros was noncommittal and smiled.
"Aunt Styx, tell me what's going on?" Artemis asked quickly.
Styx held Adros in his arms, touched his face, and then said with a smile: "Our Poseidon, the God of the Sea, is almost overwhelmed by the ancient Poseidon Pontos. , I can only ask my family for help. And my father, who wants to expand his power, has always been the most calculating and the best at using his daughter as a bargaining chip. After understanding the situation, he immediately married Amphitrite."
After listening to Styx's words, Adros felt a sense of clarity. The ancient sea god Pontos, the son of the earth mother Gaia, the ancient mountain god Uriah and the brother of the first god king Uranus. He has many descendants and is closely related to several original gods. No wonder Poseidon can't bear it.
And Styx's father, Oceanus, the Lord of the Ocean, had more children than Pontos, and many of his children could no longer find a place to rule. He is married to Poseidon and seems to be going to war with the ancient sea god.
"So Aunt Amphitrite, is she willing to marry Poseidon?" Artemis asked.
Styx was startled when he heard the words, and seemed to remember something, and then sighed: "It doesn't matter if you want to, or if you don't want to, as a sister, you always have to think about the thousands of younger brothers and sisters behind you. She married Poseidon , I became the orthodox God Queen of the Ocean, and the futures of my younger brothers and sisters were settled. Besides, women must marry and have children sooner or later, and Poseidon is not a bad choice no matter how you look at it. ." She herself, when she married Paris, wasn't she looking for allies for her father
After hearing this, Artemis shook her head vigorously: "Who said that? I will never marry anyone in the future. But I will also take good care of little Adros."
Styx smiled: "So, our little Artemis is going to learn from Hestia and be a virgin."
Hestia, the future God of Kitchen, in charge of all the fireworks, is the eldest daughter of the previous god king Cronus, and the eldest sister of the current god king Zeus. Her strength is unfathomable, even the lustful Zeus and Poseidon have no one. Don't dare to provoke her at all.
······
After passing through a long corridor, they finally arrived at Poseidon's hall. As soon as he stepped into the Poseidon Hall, Adros felt as if he had entered a noisy vegetable market.
In the main hall, there were thousands of gods and goddesses. When they saw Styx coming in, they all came forward to say hello. Styx returned the greetings to them one by one with a smile on his face. These male and female gods are all the younger brothers and sisters of Styx, and other children of Oceanus, Lord of the Ocean, and Tesis. These gods respected their eldest sister.
Seeing this scene, Adros secretly cursed in his heart. With so many children, it seems that the difference between Zeus, the god of breeding, and Oceanus is not even a little bit different. I don’t know whether Oceanus himself is. Can all their children be distinguished
"Sister, is this your newborn child?" The speaker was Styx's eldest brother, the father of all the sirens, the river god Akorus. His brother-in-law Paris was imprisoned in the Tartarus Abyss by Zeus, but no one knew which god had captured the eldest sister's heart.
Styx shook his head: "No, they are the children of Zeus and Leto's children."
Hearing about the origins of Adros and the others, these gods and goddesses on the ocean were excited. These days, their father Oceanus and mother Tesis kept urging them to search for Leto's children on the ocean. They were forced by their parents to listen to the sound of conches above the sea. Their ears were almost swollen, but they heard nothing. If it weren't for Amphitrite's wedding to Poseidon today, they would probably still be wandering around the ocean.
When Akorus slowly told the whole story, Styx understood that Artemis and Adros also heard about their grandfather and grandmother for the first time. Especially Artemis, when she heard that the two of them were going to find trouble with Hera, she clenched her fists with joy and cheered loudly.
She didn't pay attention. Styx looked at her with a little pity. Although she didn't personally watch the battle on Mount Olympus, her daughter Niki, the goddess of victory, was aware of the whole process. Told her. The only good thing is that although Koos and Phob were seriously injured, they were not arrested after all, otherwise they would not have escaped the fate of being imprisoned.
Adros looked at the gods around him with strange expressions on their faces, and whispered quietly into Styx's ear: "Are my grandfather and grandmother okay, Aunt Styx?"
"Ran away."
Hearing this word, Adros could roughly guess what was going on. He would escape only if he lost the battle, and he would not be caught if he escaped. But that's fine. If nothing happens to them, they can go look for Apollo and the others.
At this moment, someone above the main hall said loudly: "Quiet, quiet." Suddenly, the noisy main hall stopped.
Adros raised his head and looked to the side, only to see several gods coming out from behind. On the left is a young man wearing armor and holding a trident. His face is extremely handsome, his eyes are aggressive, as turbulent as the sea, his blond hair is spread wantonly on the back of his head, his steps are fast and powerful, almost He quickly arrived at the center of the hall.
On the right, three people came over, two middle-aged male and female gods in blue robes, each holding the hand of the goddess in the middle. Wearing a crown on her head, this goddess is extremely graceful and luxurious, making people unconsciously ignore her extremely beautiful face. Likewise, inside her gorgeous robe, she is also covered in armor.
As the three of them arrived at the center of the hall, the young man holding the trident took the goddess's hand from the middle-aged male god, took a few steps forward, and looked around at the gods. Suddenly, he raised the goddess's hand. Following his action, cheers erupted from the surroundings.
"Brothers and sisters, today is the wedding between me and your sister Amphitrite. After today, she and I will be indistinguishable from each other. Half of the throne of Poseidon given to me by the God King will belong to her. Today. After that, I will also be one of your brothers and sisters, sharing the glory and hardships with you. My brother, God King Zeus, was very happy to hear that I will also become one of your brothers and sisters. A golden chariot was sent as a gift.”
After speaking, he pointed to a golden chariot with golden horses next to the main hall.
"You may not know that this chariot was used by the first god-king Ouranos. This means that the god-king gave us the power to conquer the ocean. Our parents, Oceanus, the Lord of the Ocean and the ocean goddess Tesis, they are the masters of the ocean appointed by the previous god king. And your brother, Poseidon, is the king of the ocean entrusted by the current god king. Therefore, this vast and endless sea should be our brothers’ place to play. paradise.
However, I heard that some gods who have been abandoned by the times often come out to cause trouble. Even some of our brothers and sisters were injured by them, and some almost died. "
After speaking, he pointed to the several male and female gods standing nearby. Their breath was weak and their faces were pale.
"Thoe, Tice, Xantha, Zuxo, Usania, how come you are so seriously injured?"
