The birth of Artemis and Apollo caused the Olympus mountain to fall into a long silence. Zeus stared like a mad bull, filled with scarlet blood, and his golden hair and beard were also trapped between his nose and mouth. The rough air blowing was messy.
He glared at Aphrodite viciously, as if he had already regarded Aphrodite as the chief culprit for helping his eldest son be born.
Aphrodite stood up from the throne, her tone was casual, as if she was not affected at all: "Two powerful gods have been born again..."
He smiled slightly, and his body was filled with joy that was incompatible with other gods: "Your Majesty, please quickly bring those two highnesses back. Judging by the level of godhood, those two highnesses seem to be powerful first-class gods. If they participate, The banquet in the next few days will definitely be more lively."
After finishing speaking, Aphrodite looked at Hera again, and said with a smile: "Although Her Majesty the Queen of God chased and killed the two Highnesses and Goddess Leto, it was the Queen of God who gave them the chance to be born. According to the current According to the situation, my relationship with those new highnesses is pretty good."
"After they return to Mount Olympus, let me help Her Majesty the Queen of God persuade them. I also hope that the Queen of God can let go of the birth of the two new highnesses, and settle down with the two highnesses... After all, you can't kill the gods, Isn't it?"
Hera's face was very calm, so calm that it was almost cold. She didn't respond to Aphrodite's words, and snorted coldly: "It's good luck for the two of them."
Then he got up and left the palace of the king of gods with arrogance and disdain.
Aphrodite looked at the back of Hera going away, and slowly smoothed out the faint arc of the corner of her lips: "Everyone, I have been away from the holy mountain for too long, the palace may be a bit dilapidated, I will go to tidy up the palace first."
Then he also took the gods and left in a mighty way.
Zeus gritted his teeth and was still immersed in anger and fear, unable to regain his composure. Seeing that the two culprits who caused his panic had left, he immediately said, "Okay, this is the end of this matter, let's all leave." .”
Then he ran out in a hurry, Rhea thought for a while, and followed Zeus.
The gods were very curious about the whereabouts and plans of the king of gods, but apart from Hera and Aphrodite, few of the remaining gods dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers in anger, so they could only suppress their curiosity first.
The primitive god Gaia is more interested in the existence of Aphrodite than what happened to Zeus and the current panic, and she is pulling Demeter to find out more detailed secrets about Aphrodite.
Aphrodite brought twelve new gods to his closed Temple of Eros. The temple was protected by divine power and washed and shaken, so it was not stained with dust, but it also looked very lifeless.
Aphrodite walked around the temple, handed over the task of cleaning up and arranging the palace to the new god, and then prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the three goddesses of Meihui hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, do you want to go out?"
Aphrodite nodded and said with a helpless smile: "I have to go out for a while. A gentleman is waiting for my explanation... Although I don't care much about returning, it's embarrassing to be expelled just after returning."
And who can expel the powerful and majestic Lord God
Naturally, there is only Zeus, the more noble king of the gods.
The twelve goddesses understood, and stopped asking questions, watching Aphrodite's figure gradually disappear from the palace.
After Aphrodite walked out of the Temple of Eros, she did not leave and disappear, but stood at the entrance of the temple for a while.
He is so beautiful and eye-catching, and he holds a scepter that symbolizes supreme authority. The nymph fairy born from the flowers in the tree hides in the gaps in the leaves and watches him quietly.
Aphrodite seemed unaware of this, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head slightly, her silver hair hanging down, making him quiet and beautiful.
After standing for a while, Aphrodite made sure that many people were watching him, and then walked down a small path under the eyes of many people, and walked into a garden behind the Temple of the Gods of Olympus Mountain. sat down on a step.
After a while, Zeus, who learned of Aphrodite's whereabouts from the nymph fairy, hurried over.
When Zeus came over, Aphrodite was sitting on the steps, pinching a rose in full bloom with two fingers, fiddled with the center of the flower with her fingertips, and then lightly pressed the petals, crystal clear dewdrops flowed from the petals along with his movements. Rolled up, then dripped, hitting his ankle.
The picture seemed to be still at this moment, and even Zeus, who came here angrily, also held his breath for a moment after seeing this scene.
Zeus paused for a moment, his eyes lingering back and forth on Aphrodite's face and wrists. After a long while, he took a breath, suppressed the surging mood, depressed his face again, and then walked to Aphrodite. in front of Lodite.
A large shadow fell in front of Aphrodite, he raised his eyes casually, and when the figure of Zeus was reflected in those light purple eyes, the corners of his lips curled up, and a light, light, and light smile appeared on his cold face. With a smile, he said gently: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Zeus gritted his teeth and looked at him. He looked around and made sure there were no gods hiding in the dark to peep around. Then he asked, "Aphrodite, do you know why I called you back to Olympia?" Sishen Mountain?!"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Did His Majesty the God King summon me back? Didn't the law think that I have been pardoned for my crime?"
Zeus gritted his teeth angrily: "Aphrodite..."
Aphrodite saw that Zeus's aura fluctuated a little, so she put away the cynical feeling a little bit, sat aside, then patted the stone steps next to her, and said to Zeus: "Your Majesty, let's sit down and talk slowly. ,how do you feel?"
Zeus looked at him coldly, and his tone was full of threats and intimidation: "Aphrodite, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will let you know how terrible the price of teasing me is!"
Aphrodite lowered his eyebrows slightly, and he sighed softly: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to waste your time scaring me?"
Zeus rolled his Adam's apple, gave him a vicious look, and then sat down beside Aphrodite, panting and roaring, "Say it."
Aphrodite said: "First of all, it is a foregone conclusion that the two newborn princes will descend to the world. Your majesty's obstruction is actually useless. If that is the case, why don't you make a generous gesture and simply let the two princes descend?" world."
What Zeus wanted to say, Aphrodite pressed her fingertips to her lips, and whispered: "Your Majesty, listen to me before you speak, okay? Or, your tone is a little calmer."
The brilliance in Aphrodite's eyes flowed, and she exhaled like blue: "I don't want to quarrel with you."
Zeus pursed his lips, swallowed all the words, and said reluctantly, "Go on."
Aphrodite withdrew her gaze and continued speaking unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty, don't think that what you have done about Queen Metis is really flawless. The gods didn't crusade against you, but there are two points. First, they have no clear evidence to prove that you deliberately did this. Second, there are no powerful gods to take the lead to resist you, and they are also afraid of falling under the battle of the god-king:. So when you didn't do things too explicit and excessive, the gods kept silent."
"You don't need to say that it was Queen Hera's order to kill Leto. You are the God King. If your attitude is really tough, Queen Hera can't do anything beyond you."
"Secondly, it is not that simple to kill a god in the mother's womb, unless His Royal Highness Leto kills the child himself. Otherwise, if other methods are used, His Highness Leto must die with the death of the child. The Titan gods headed by God Kous are watching all this, and they will not let you and the Queen of God be rampant."
"The only way to kill the two new highnesses before they were born is to let the mother god who conceived them abandon them. But His Highness Leto would rather die on the road of escape than choose this way, so in the end , God Koos and Leto's brothers and sisters will definitely help her instead of letting her go to perish."
"The birth of the two new highnesses is a fate that has already been written."
"What's more..." Aphrodite glanced at Zeus lightly: "If you want to blame, you should blame yourself for being too negligent."
Aphrodite said resemblingly: "I originally gave you the blessing. It was you who failed to live up to your expectations and made His Royal Highness Hera obtain the queen godhead, and then let your eldest son be born. I can't blame me for this."
Zeus said angrily: "Yes, you have said these words. But you also said, let me use those rituals to welcome you back after the Queen of God appears. I have satisfied you according to your requirements, but you have not treated me well. What is the reward? You helped Leto give birth to my firstborn son!"
Aphrodite looked at him innocently, and sighed: "I said that it would be good for you to welcome me back after the God Empress appeared, but I didn't promise you that after you welcome me back, I can I helped you kill your eldest son, and I didn't say that I would give you new blessings after I came back."
Aphrodite smiled happily and was delighted that she had fooled Zeus: "I just told you what I should have when I return to Mount Olympus. But I didn't force you to It must be done."
Zeus did not speak.
Zeus covered his heart with his hands.
Zeus was out of breath.
Aphrodite saw that Zeus's mood was not right, so she stopped teasing him immediately, and got back to the topic again.
"Actually, I don't blame me for this. I admit that I used some small tricks to trap me, but Olympus is the destination that the gods yearn for. In order to get back here, I used some small tricks. Is it normal? Please understand me, Your Majesty."
Aphrodite made a request, telling her own difficulties: "What's more, Your Majesty, use your brain a little bit, then you should also understand that as a first-class god, what I can do is very limited, and you can't expect I'm going to change the sex of a god that's already formed."
Zeus thought it was wrong, and Aphrodite said it very frankly, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the logic.
Zeus still wanted to think deeply, but Aphrodite didn't give him this opportunity, and immediately brought the topic to the direction that Zeus was interested in: "And now His Royal Highness Apollo has been born, if His Majesty is not going to kill God, then worry about it." These are also meaningless. I think His Majesty's most urgent task is how to arrange His Highness Apollo?"
Zeus said coldly: "Artemis is fine, as for Apollo, I will not allow him to ascend Mount Olympus."
Aphrodite asked slowly: "What is the meaning of His Majesty's arrangement?"
Zeus glared at him: "He is my eldest son, how could I let him climb the mountain to make friends with the gods and expand his power?!"
Aphrodite smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you were once replaced with stones by His Royal Highness Rhea, and you were even forced to hide your name, but this did not stop your rise. You still overthrew Crono like a curse of fate. God King Si."
"If... what I'm talking about is just a hypothesis, if His Royal Highness Apollo is really the traitor in the mouth of Cronus Sin King, even if he is expelled from Olympus by you, he can still collect and strengthen his power. That's it, Why don't you take him to Mount Olympus and watch him under your nose?"
Zeus was silent, his eyes slowly fell on Aphrodite's delicate and beautiful cheeks, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Do you want Apollo to come to the mountain?"
Aphrodite smiled and shook her head, and said sincerely: "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what kind of situation is more beneficial to you, Your Majesty."
Aphrodite said so, but in the next second she still hinted crazily: "What's more, there is Her Highness Hera on the mountain... With her, there are many things that don't even require you to come forward, and His Highness Hera can do everything you want. Expected things are done.”
Zeus paused, and said undeniably: "What you said makes sense, but what if Apollo rises instead by taking advantage of the power of the mountain?"
Aphrodite showed a thoughtful expression, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Then why not, Your Majesty the God King, you might as well have more sons. They don't know who is the traitor under the curse, but they are eager for power. Fainting the sanity of all His Royal Highnesses, causing them to fall into a crazy battle, fighting each other and consuming each other. Each Highness drags each other down and consumes the power in their hands. The existing factions of gods will also support different Highnesses, and then disperse .”
"In a sense, it has achieved your goal, hasn't it?"
Zeus murmured: "But Hera does not allow other goddesses to have sex with me..."
Aphrodite's eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed the disgust and dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "Then you can just spoil Her Highness Hera, Her Highness Hera is still the Queen of God, the potential of you and her child It must not be inferior to His Royal Highness Apollo, so it just meets your needs, doesn't it?"
Aphrodite felt that he treated Hera quite well. Although Hera had always shown little respect for him, he actively favored Hera.
Although there are some elements of use in it, Hera benefits in the end, doesn't it
Aphrodite thought casually, and Zeus' eyes kept changing because of Aphrodite's description.
Zeus understood that Aphrodite, a cunning guy, probably took a fancy to Artemis and Apollo and wanted to recruit them to the mountain.
But Aphrodite's proposal is indeed good. Instead of exiling Apollo far away and having some uncontrollable things happen in a place that he can't see, it is better to keep him under his nose and let Hera suppress and control him. .
As for Aphrodite's proposal to let him have more sons...
Zeus was a little unhappy, but a little self-defeating.
Aphrodite's blessing is useless, so unless he no longer has intercourse with other goddesses in this life, he will eventually give birth to other sons.
In that, in that case, it would be better for him to give birth to sons with a purpose, and then control and balance their power, so that they will continue to fight and internal friction.
Zeus was delighted that the crisis in front of him could be resolved, but hated that such a proposal was thought up by Aphrodite.
He scolded in a low voice: "Cunning Aphrodite, you escaped from my palm again by luck."
Aphrodite said with a smile: "It's just luck."
Zeus stood up, flicked his sleeves indifferently and left, not knowing where he was going.
Aphrodite's smile slowly faded. He stood there and stared coldly at Zeus's back for a moment, then walked towards Demeter's Temple of Saturn.
He wants to discuss with Demeter how to stabilize his status and improve his rights, for example, sending the human race to live on the earth to make them prosperous, and then dedicate a considerable amount of faith to the gods.
When the gods can no longer leave the belief of the human race, at that time, Demeter, who controls the food of human beings, and Aphrodite, who controls the reproduction of the next generation, will use this opportunity to upgrade and evolve the godhead in their hands, making themselves The position of the sacred mountain of Lympus became more and more unshakable.
In the Queen's Hall, Hera happily sat in front of the glass-clear mirror, painting herself exquisite makeup and slender and delicate eyebrows.
Hera glanced at the inverted hourglass on the left from time to time, golden quicksand slowly flowed down from the gap, Hera casually hung a golden sun-shaped earring for herself, and admired her face in the mirror.
Then she smiled with satisfaction, and then slowly dotted her lips with bright red.
As time went by bit by bit, Hera's makeup and dress became perfect to the naked eye, but the queen hall was always quiet.
Hera glanced at the hourglass from time to time, and then at the direction of the door.
The gate of the palace was wide open, but only Qingfeng passed by.
Hera's expression gradually became anxious, and the joy in her eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference and coldness.
Hera got up from the vanity mirror, walked to the table and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, but didn't drink it, but sat there holding the cup with a gloomy expression.
After a while, there was a crackling sound coming from outside the palace, Hera's eyes lit up almost imperceptibly, and she immediately looked towards the palace gate.
The tall and tall Zeus walked in slowly from the palace gate. Hera paused slightly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, and his tone suddenly changed: "Zeus? What are you doing here?"
Although Zeus refused to admit it, he also felt that the pair of children Leto gave him had great potential. A goddess of nature and a god of light, all of them were powerful first-class gods.
He thought about it, if he randomly finds a goddess to have sex with, the child born must have a hard time surpassing the two new gods.
But Hera is his queen, and with the power of the queen's divinity, their children's strength will be guaranteed and they will be able to compete with Apollo.
With this in mind, Zeus came to find Hera after dawdling for a while.
Because Hera forcibly took away the godhead and seemed to have a bad temper, Zeus was a little bit repulsive to her now, and his expression was obviously depressed on the way here.
However, after entering the Queen's Hall and seeing Hera's dress, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Hera was already an extremely bright and beautiful goddess, so after she rejected Zeus, Zeus still couldn't forget her, and finally even used dirty and despicable methods to possess her.
But now, for some unknown reason, Hera deliberately dressed herself up again. She was wearing gorgeous jewelry and a gorgeous long skirt, and her graceful and luxurious demeanor rushed towards her face, making her look extremely noble and eye-catching.
Hearing Hera's question, Zeus subconsciously said greasy love words: "Of course I came to spoil my noble and beautiful little wife..."
Hera's face was livid. Concerned about Zeus's identity, she didn't say any bad words immediately, but her tone was very wrong: "Go out, I don't want to see you yet."
Zeus sat down next to her naturally, and his broad palm also fell on Hera's waist. He asked affectionately, "Did I make my little wife unhappy?"
Hera pushed him away irritably, and said in disgust: "I said, I don't want to see you at all now, can you go out!"
Zeus was rejected several times by Hera, and his face was a little bit frustrated: "You are my wife, you have the responsibility to please me and reproduce for me!"
Hera picked up the cup and slammed it on Zeus's head. She shouted angrily: "I said, I don't want to see you now, didn't you hear?!"
Zeus froze, staring blankly at Hera, unable to react.
Hera felt a little regretful after smashing Zeus. She was actually a little afraid of Zeus. After all, Zeus was the king of thunder and was very powerful.
However, there was no room for regret. Hera could only walk to Zeus and sit down, and said stiffly: "I am very unhappy now, Zeus, I am your queen, can you respect me."
Zeus had a gloomy face, his eyes were dark, and he didn't speak.
Hera couldn't help but curled up, covering her stomach with her palms.
But Zeus felt something from her actions. He came closer, squinted his eyes to feel it, and then asked slowly: "Hera, are you pregnant?"
Hera's pupils couldn't help dilating a little, and a little bit of astonishment appeared in her eyes.
Zeus scrutinized Hera, and after a while, he said in an incomprehensible tone: "Well, Hera, for the sake of your pregnancy, I will not care about your overstepping this time. But—"
His eyes were dark, like a sinister poisonous snake that secretly chooses and eats people: "There will be no next time, you know?"
Hera sat stiffly in place, gritted her teeth and trembled.
Zeus left without knowing when, Hera gritted her teeth, slowly leaned down, and covered her entire face on the table.
A gust of cold wind blew from outside the palace, and a familiar cold female voice came from overhead, 'Nemesis' asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, your body is full of resentment... What happened again?" ?”
Hera raised her head from her arms, and what she saw was Nemesis's cool and calm face and slightly peaceful light purple eyes.
Hera bit her lips tightly, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, she raised her hand high, and finally, under the slightly vigilant gaze of 'Nemesis', she lightly tapped her shoulder, feeling aggrieved Said: "Nemesis, why did you appear... Do you really want to see me personally humiliated?"
Aphrodite, who was going to talk to Demeter about the plan, but because she saw Gaia, the Earth Mother, in the Temple of Saturn, temporarily changed the route to the Temple of God:? ?
What's going on here, Hera
Aphrodite was at a loss. He suddenly felt a strong resentment from the Queen's Temple. Out of respect for Hera's ability to make things happen, he had nothing to do for the time being, so he deliberately set up 'Nemesis'. Take a look at the shell.
He didn't expect Hera to give him such an unexpected performance as soon as he came in.
Aphrodite moved Hera's hand from 'her' shoulder uncomfortably, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, I don't want to see you humiliated... what can I say? Please speak well."
