Leto held his breath, not daring to speak.
Even though he had never dealt with Aphrodite, Leto had heard of Aphrodite's reputation.
The main god is eloquent, beautiful, and unparalleled in wisdom.
Since his birth, he has been gathering power, challenging the authority of different but equally powerful gods.
Among them, he had occasional failures, such as being expelled from Mount Olympus by Zeus. But the final result showed that he was still the final winner.
Now hearing such clear-cut words from Aphrodite, Leto's heart couldn't help beating, and he couldn't help feeling a little hope.
She wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
Artemis blinked, and said directly: "But the God King and God Queen don't like our siblings, the God King will not make me and Apollo the main gods."
Aphrodite said with a mocking smile: "Your Highness, you are a powerful first-class god. Faced with what you want, you should actively and unscrupulously go for it instead of waiting for others to give you everything you want." .”
"Why does His Majesty the God King have to agree? You also understand that if there is no special reason, he will not agree to your sister and brother becoming the main god."
There was a hint of confusion in Artemis' eyes, with hesitation on his expression.
Apollo seemed to understand what Aphrodite said, and put on a thoughtful look.
But he probably didn't come up with any results, so after a long while, he still asked Aphrodite for help, "Your Highness, please teach us how to compete for the position of Lord God."
Aphrodite asked back: "Apollo, do you know how many main gods there are on the holy mountain, and how many main gods are vacant?"
Leto quickly replied, "I know that including the god-king and queen, there are six main gods, namely, His Majesty's brothers and sisters except Hades, Hades, himself, and His Highness Aphrodite."
Aphrodite smiled and asked the two newly born gods in front of her: "Did your Highness understand anything from this?"
Artemis and Apollo looked away from Aphrodite blankly and guiltyly, because they didn't know why.
Seeing this, Aphrodite said to herself: "It was an accident that I became the main god. It was a secret and unknown transaction between me and the king of gods. It was not what the king of gods wanted me to become. Because I have nothing to do with the God-King, and I even have a bad relationship... But my identity also has something special."
"If you go back to the origin, I am the son of the heavenly father Uranus, and I can be regarded as half a Titan God."
"But I am different from other Titan gods. For example, I was born too late. I only appeared during the final battle between His Majesty the God King and Cronus against God, and then helped His Majesty the God King severely damage Cronus. against the king."
"I and the other main gods are the gods of the Zeus camp from beginning to end. Although we don't have a good relationship with each other, we are absolute enemies with King Kronos."
"But those Titan gods are different. The Titan gods are the heirs of the Titan gods who were imprisoned with Cronus. In the battle between the two generations of god kings, they drifted with the tide and did not clearly express their resistance or support. Who, God King doesn't say it on the face, but deep down in his heart he is full of fear of the Titans."
Apollo was stunned, and slowly realized: "Yes, the king of gods is worried that the Titans will betray him, so he will never give the position of main god to those Titans. But in the current God's Domain, the gods basically They are all the descendants of the Titan God and the Titan God, currently nothing to do with the Titan God... only the brother and sister of the God King and his heirs, for example, me and my sister."
Aphrodite nodded slowly, with very obvious appreciation in her eyes.
Artemis also reacted at this time, and she said happily: "Yes, among the descendants of the princes of God, except for the mysterious Moirai who is in charge of fate, the most powerful is our siblings. And Moirai has always been She lives in seclusion and never comes out, and the other sisters can't compete with us at all. Apollo and I still have a big advantage!"
Apollo also became happy, and after being happy, his expression became a little dignified: "But the Queen of God doesn't like us, and the King of God seems to be afraid of us at present, and it may be difficult to get the position of Lord God."
The happy expressions of Artemis and Leto subsided slightly, and after returning to reality from fantasy, their expressions became worried again.
Aphrodite smiled and said: "It's very simple to solve this dilemma, Your Highness, you just need to let the god king realize that the position of the main god has been vacant for too long, those Titan gods, and some who have not been imprisoned The Titan gods under the abyss, such as his two ex-wives, and the parents of His Highness Leto, are all eager to move about the position of the main god."
"As long as you understand these threats, His Majesty the God King will naturally understand what to do next."
Artemis's beautiful eyes kept flashing, and she said almost in shock: "I understand what Your Highness means... I know what we should do next."
Apollo's eyes flickered, and he looked at Leto: "Goddess, please help us contact grandfather..."
Leto's parents, Coos and Phoebe, are also the surviving Titan gods. It was he who asked Aphrodite for help on the sacred mountain before, and Aphrodite was able to help Leto on the bright side.
Leto nodded heavily, and she said, "Don't worry, Apollo, you and Artemis are so good, Father God, they will definitely do their best to help you get the position of Lord God."
Aphrodite thought for a while, and then hinted: "There are also His Royal Highnesses Oceanus and Tesis in the sea realm. They have also had a long-standing grievance with the king of gods. If it is their wish, the Divine King will definitely be more urgent. After all, the Divine King owes them too much."
Artemis and Apollo nodded heavily at first, and then hesitated: "But there are still so many vacancies in the positions of the main gods. Even if two are allocated to me and my brother, there are still four vacant positions. What if Hai If the two lords from the world really took the opportunity to obtain the position of the main god, what should we do then?"
As the children of Zeus, although the relationship with Zeus is not very good, this cannot change the fact that they are born in the camp of the Zeus gods.
Subconsciously, they were vigilant against the Titan God and the Titan God.
Aphrodite raised the corners of her lips. He gave Artemis a meaningful look, and praised: "It's good that Your Highness can think of this, but you have to understand that there are people who are more afraid of these things than you. So, you Don’t rush to take things on yourself.”
Everyone here knows who this person is referring to.
Apollo sneered, and a trace of mockery slipped through his eyes.
At this moment, Aphrodite glanced at him, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Apollo instantly felt uncomfortable, his brows and eyes were closed, and his fingers were unconsciously intertwined and clenched together.
After speaking, Aphrodite stood up holding the kettle.
He said: "The purpose of my reunion with your Highnesses has already been stated, and it is time to leave. I hope that the next time we meet, we will meet on Mount Olympus as the Lord God."
Leto and her two children also stood up and bid farewell to Aphrodite with impeccable etiquette.
Aphrodite took the kettle and the piece of barbecue Leto gave him, and under the gaze of the three gods, she walked into the dark and silent forest again.
Aphrodite walked through the forest at night, and the tawny trunks and branches looked a little more terrifying in the middle of the night.
The moonlight cast down from the sky and fell on the ground, casting the shadows of the trees on the ground, making them look like hideous claws.
Aphrodite walked forward calmly, the hem of Heaton's robe swaying on the ground.
He walked through the woods, came to a gaping valley, and jumped down from the chasm in the earth.
His silver hair was blown up by the wind, and he kept falling, passing through the thick barrier between the underworld and the realm of the gods, and fell in front of the entrance of the underworld.
Cerberus, the hellish three-headed dog, stood guard at the entrance. It had ferocious and furious hair like pinpoints and stinky and terrifying fangs. Its tail, like a stick of fire, slammed heavily on the ground, creating fire pits one after another.
When Aphrodite appeared and was about to pass through the entrance of the underworld, Cerberus immediately opened his green eyes that were about the size of the washbasin and roared at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite casually threw the venison in front of it, and Cerberus's three heads immediately bit each other, fighting over the piece of meat.
Aphrodite successfully entered the entrance of Hades, and what appeared in front of her was the unforgettable River of Styx.
Only by crossing the river Styx can one truly enter the underworld. The only way to cross the Styx is by the boat of Charon, the god of crossing.
Charon appears whenever someone appears on the banks of the River Styx, and this time was no exception.
Not long after Aphrodite stood on the shore, Charon, the God of Ferry, who was wrapped tightly in a black cloak and looked quite short, slowly floated over in a boat from a distance.
He parked the boat on the shore, and Aphrodite stepped into the crude boat with his clothes on. As soon as he stood up, the boat shook violently.
Seeing this, Charon laughed from under the cloak. He sounded very young and his voice was clear. He said, "Dear Lord God, you are so strong that my boat can't bear the weight of your soul. Your strength is limited, so it may be difficult for you to cross the river safely."
Aphrodite was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then remembered the rumors about Charon, so she took out a gold coin and handed it to him.
Charon took the gold coin, tossed it and weighed it a few times. The arc of the gold coin jumping in the air is beautiful, and the golden light is also very bright.
Charon put away the gold coin, but he was not satisfied. He raised his index finger, dangled in front of Aphrodite in disgust, and said with a smile: "If it is anything else, I am satisfied with a gold coin." Lah. But Your Highness, the weight of your soul is too terrifying, one gold coin is not enough."
Hearing this, Aphrodite's eyes darkened a lot. He glanced at Charon faintly, then took out another blue-purple jelly-like object and handed it to Charon, asking, "What about this reward? Is it enough?" ?"
Charon took the object, and he could feel the surging divine power as soon as he got it, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. He couldn't help but said: "As expected of His Majesty the Lord God, you are so generous... It's such a good thing when you make a move." ah."
"This is enough!"
The corners of Aphrodite's lips twitched slightly, luring him: "After eating it, it will give you an even bigger 'surprise'."
Charon was ready to move: "Did Your Highness really give me this treasure as a reward?"
Aphrodite watched him silently.
Charon's heart was broken, and he was afraid that Aphrodite would repent, so he stopped hesitating and put the jelly-like thing into his mouth.
At the moment when the jelly entered, a strange divine power linked the jelly and Charon together.
Charon was overjoyed and did not resist. The two divine powers were successfully connected. The tongue-eating louse created by Zeus immediately began to absorb Charon's divine power.
Charon suddenly opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth with one hand, his whole face was distorted, looked at Aphrodite in horror, and pointed to his mouth frantically with one hand.
Aphrodite looked at him calmly and asked, "Why, are you not satisfied with this reward?"
Charon shook his head frantically, and then seemed to be afraid of Aphrodite's misunderstanding, and began to nod frantically again, his eyes full of horror and pleading.
Aphrodite grabbed his thin neck and pulled back his cloak.
Beneath the cloak was a little man with a pretty baby-faced, curly brown hair, who was weeping now, and looked rather pathetic.
It's a pity that what he met was the ruthless Aphrodite. Aphrodite looked at his face without any emotion, and her light purple eyes looked extremely cold. He asked in a serious tone: "Didn't you say that before?" Is that enough? It looks like you are not satisfied anymore? But I only have this thing as a reward, so you just accept it, otherwise if I take it back, you won’t give me a ride, what? ?”
Charon was about to burst into tears, looking at Aphrodite wanting to cry but without tears, clenching his hands into fists and begging for mercy.
Aphrodite deliberately left him alone for a while, and seeing that Charon's tears were really about to fall, he changed the hand that was pinching his neck to his chin with a cold face, forcing Charon to open his mouth.
Aphrodite stared at the tongue-eating louse in Charon's mouth for a moment, because the time Charon inhaled him was too short, so the link between the tongue-eating louse and him has not yet reached the level that has completely replaced Arinte To the point, it's fine to peel off.
Aphrodite reached in with two fingers, deftly and gently peeled off the connection between the tongue-eating louse and Charon, and then took the tongue-eating louse off.
The tongue-eating lice were successfully removed, but there was a gash on Charon's tongue, the wound hadn't healed yet, and traces of golden blood were oozing out.
Charon moved his tongue, hissed lightly, and said uncomfortably, "It hurts."
Aphrodite glanced at him lightly, but did not respond.
Charon immediately said in a nasty voice: "My tongue hurts so much, I don't have the energy to row."
Aphrodite said casually: "Is the tongue useless? How about I put this thing back into your mouth and let it be your tongue?"
Charon shivered, and the corners of his lips curled downward. He rubbed against Aphrodite's side until his short stature reached Aphrodite's chest: "I just saw that you are beautiful, Just joking with you, Your Highness, why are you so fierce. My tongue really hurts, please blow it on for me."
Aphrodite said lightly: "Do you think that I have taken out the tongue-eating lice, so there is nothing I can do about you?"
Charon grinned and didn't speak, but his expression showed how he felt.
Aphrodite's eyes flickered slightly, meeting Charon's gaze. Charon stared at him blankly, his eyes gradually filled with countless illusory images, the brilliance in his eyes slowly lost, and he became demented.
Aphrodite lightly stroked the golden scepter in her hand, and said with a smile: "Why do you look into my eyes, don't you know, you can't help but get lost in my world?"
The Godhead of Eros has evolved into a new priesthood, the God of Hypnosis and Control.
Aphrodite ordered coldly: "Row the boat and take me to Hades."
At the order, Charon immediately slid his stiff limbs to pick up the paddle, and began to row stiffly.
Aphrodite lowered her eyebrows coldly, observed the environment of the Styx, and ignored Charon.
I don't know what the Styx River is composed of. The water in it looks very turbid, like a mottled paint of countless colors, chaotic and clueless.
It is said that creatures who fall into the river Styx will be drowned in it forever, and even the gods cannot get out of it.
Occasionally, it would surge up a wave, and then hit the boat violently.
However, Aphrodite stood firmly on the boat and was not affected.
When Aphrodite saw the light of Hades in his eyes, he took back control of Charon.
This time, Charon didn't say anything, and continued to row the boat as before, but there was a hint of fear of Aphrodite in the corner of his eyes.
Aphrodite asked as if talking to herself: "I heard that even if the gods fall into the river Styx, they will not be able to escape, and will be drowned in it forever. Then if I sit on the boat with my hostile gods , take advantage of his carelessness and push him off the boat, will he fall into it forever and never be free again?"
Charon froze, looking at Aphrodite in horror, for fear that he would use himself as a test subject and tell him to jump into the River Styx.
Charon swallowed his saliva, and said in fear: "No, no, Your Highness, the River Styx is not endless, and there is an abyss deeper than it. As long as the gods sink to the deepest point, they will be sucked into the abyss. Trapped in it forever!"
Aphrodite tilted her head in surprise, and said in amazement: "It turns out that you won't be trapped in it forever, so why are there still such rumors?"
"Moreover, this place leads directly to the abyss. If you enter from the Styx River, it will be easier..."
Charon explained with a numb scalp: "That's because the gods below the main god, even the souls of the first-class gods can't withstand the corrosive power of the Styx, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. The more severely injured, the soul The lighter the weight, the slower the descending speed... In a sense, it is equivalent to being trapped here forever."
"So gods fall into the Styx, and they will still be trapped here..."
Aphrodite asked: "What about the main god and above?"
Charon whispered: "The Lord God and those above are the masters of the God's Domain. They control all the operations of the God's Domain. Anything that condenses and evolves according to the rules will not harm them."
And Styx is obviously a rule.
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Is that so..."
As he said with a smile, he suddenly raised one foot and stood on the eaves of the boat.
Charon: "!!!"
Because of Aphrodite's actions, the ship was seriously unbalanced and turned over to Aphrodite's side.
Aphrodite relaxed her limbs, fell from the eaves of the boat and fell into the River Styx. He said to Charon: "The purpose of my coming to Hades is to go to the abyss. Now that there is a more convenient path, I will not continue to sit." Your ship is gone. Goodbye."
Charon's face turned pale, and he pulled out of the boat tightly with all four limbs. He didn't even care to listen to what Aphrodite said. After Aphrodite fell into the Styx, he hurriedly avoided the splashing water. The water of the Styx River, while balancing the boat, managed to sit firmly again.
Charon looked at his black robe scorched by the water of the Styx, and wanted to cry without tears: "What kind of god of beauty is this... I think he is almost a god of madness..."
Styx jumps as soon as he says he wants to, because he is the main god!
Aphrodite fell into the river Styx, and the corrosive waters of the river Styx rushed towards him frantically.
Aphrodite held the scepter of the main god with both hands, lying on her chest, and the scepter of the main god formed a circular spiritual barrier that carefully wrapped Aphrodite in it.
Aphrodite closed his eyes, and because the weight did not decrease, he kept falling from the Styx, and soon he broke through the limit in the Styx.
A crisp sound rang beside his ears, and the sound of flowing water disappeared, replaced by the dull sound carried by the wind.
Aphrodite deftly adjusted her posture in mid-air, and was trapped on the ground in a kneeling posture.
The original god on the throne of the abyss was awakened by the sound of something falling to the ground, and hurriedly woke up from his sleep.
Tartarus looked at the leisurely and natural silver-haired god in front of him who was lightly dusting the dust off his clothes, his eyes still diverging.
After a while he asked uncertainly, "Aphrodite?"
Aphrodite calmly acted as if this Abyss Temple was his own home, nodded and said hello: "Your Highness Tartarus, long time no see."
Tartarus stood up from the throne, he hesitated, then suddenly turned his back to Aphrodite.
Where Aphrodite couldn't see, he rubbed his cheeks in a silly way to wake himself up as soon as possible.
After regaining consciousness and returning to the cold and majestic Abyss God, Tartarus turned around, put his fist to his lips, cleared his throat, and asked calmly, "Aphrodite, Without my guidance, you can directly reach the Abyss Temple... "
His scrutinizing gaze fell from Aphrodite's cheek to his scepter, and there was deep confusion in his eyes: "So you came in from the river Styx? But I remember, when we parted last time, you were Zeus expelled from the mountain of God. Why are you holding the scepter of the Lord God now?"
Hearing these words, Aphrodite couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "Your Highness Tartarus, you haven't been sleeping since you left the mountain?"
Tartarus said softly: "God's Domain is very boring and has no value to be noticed. It is better to sleep."
Aphrodite flicked her silver hair and asked, "Is my beauty boring too?"
Tartarus was suddenly speechless, and could only change the subject: "These are not important, the purpose of your seeking me is more important. You haven't said what you came to me for."
Aphrodite sighed: "That would be a long story, because there are too many places where I need your help."
Tartarus looked around. The decoration of the Abyss Temple was extremely simple and indifferent. There was no other place except the throne of the Abyss God.
Tartarus looked at his throne again, sat a little to the left, and asked Aphrodite, "Will you sit down and talk to me slowly?"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows lightly, walked up the stairs, and said as she walked, "Of course, if you don't mind me sharing your glory."
Aphrodite walked to the Throne of the Abyss and sat down beside Tartarus.
Tartarus said playfully: "I don't mind, but do you know what it means to sit on my throne?"
Only a husband and wife can share the glory and share the authority.
Aphrodite: "I don't know, but I know that sitting in this position does not require any price or commitment from me."
So, I sat down.
Tartarus lowered his eyebrows: "Tell me, why are you here?"
Aphrodite pondered for a few seconds: "There are many, for example, I want to meet King Cronus and those imprisoned Titans for a while, and make some deals with them."
Tartarus showed a thoughtful expression, and before he could think about it, Aphrodite asked again: "And I have a doubt, and I want to see if you can solve it for me, Your Highness."
Tartarus nodded slightly: "You say."
Aphrodite told about Gaia's performance on the mountain, and then asked directly: "I think Arinte and I are very ordinary, what value do we have that is worthy of God Gaia taking out the original liquid of life?" Is the treasure coming to rescue Areinte?"
"This..." the stern abyss god frowned: "It seems to be related to a prophecy made by Gaia."
"Because that prophecy has something to do with me, so Gaia mentioned it in front of me. It is said that our youngest brother, the fifth primitive god Eros who has fallen, has not completely died. He will be replaced by a new On the day of birth, the new god will inherit his name, and will slowly withdraw the power of love as time goes by."
"You are the God of Eros. As for the Ariinte in your mouth... It seems that Gaia prophesied that the father of little Eros in the future seems to be Ari or something."
Tartarus recalled Arinte in his memory, and laughed: "Gaia may think that Arinte is the destined father of little Eros. It's a pity that she must have never seen what Arinte is." Appearance and temperament, if she has seen it, she should clearly understand that you will never give birth to an heir for Areinte."
Tartarus quietly glanced at the god beside him, his expression became extremely cold because of what he said just now, like his silver hair, glowing with a cold light, and his eyes contained the ultimate passion. Coercion.
He is like this, and he is also a male god, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be willing to give birth to offspring for other gods.
