Aphrodite raised her eyes, fixedly looking at the goddess with gray-silver hair, wheat-colored skin, and style that was obviously different from other gods but equally beautiful, thinking about her reason for coming.
Athena didn't know if she didn't hear Aphrodite's ridicule, or because she didn't care, her expression didn't change because of this, she was always firm and calm.
She looked at Aphrodite with a smile, her eyes were full of peaceful and close strength, it was difficult for those watching to feel disgusted with her.
Athena smiled and said, "Your Highness, would you like to know why I call you that?"
Aphrodite asked casually: "Who made a joke with His Highness?"
Athena blinked, nodded, and said with a hearty smile: "It's a very interesting rumor, Your Highness, would you like to hear it?"
Aphrodite nodded: "I would like to hear more about it."
Athena told Aphrodite what she heard: "Because there are gods who don't believe that His Majesty the God King can conceive me alone, and before I was born, His Highness happened to have a tryst with the God King..."
Aphrodite's face turned a little blue, and Athena didn't realize it, and continued: "And I was born from the head of His Majesty the God King, so some gods suspected that His Majesty the God King was biting you at that time, and then you After being swallowed by him, it remained in the mind of the God King... Later, I was born."
"That's why it's rumored that both you and His Majesty the God King are my father."
Aphrodite:"… "
Even though Athena said it implicitly, Aphrodite still understood the other content under her vague words.
Aphrodite was extremely depressed. You must know that there was a life-and-death enmity between him and Zeus. It really made Aphrodite a little sick to be imagined about the relationship between them.
The only good thing is that Aphrodite did not suffer from this rumor.
Thinking of this, Aphrodite immediately locked onto the source of the rumors.
No one else, in this rumor, Zeus is in a weak position as the king of gods. Ordinary god kings would not dare to make up their minds to weaken His Majesty the god king. The only one who has the courage and leisure, except for Aphrodite, is the king of the sea, Poseidon .
Aphrodite snorted coldly, thinking that she must talk to Poseidon, if you pass on Zeus, then pass on Zeus, why are you teasing me? !
Aphrodite played with the cup in her hand, pressed it to her lips, smiled, but said coldly: "No wonder Your Highness called me that just now, but it's fine if the other gods don't understand the truth, Your Highness, you should be very aware of your life experience. As the goddess of wisdom, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and don't make such ridiculous jokes at will."
Athena fell silent, she sighed lowly, and said helplessly: "I saw Your Highness for the first time, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I wanted to find some interesting topics to draw into the relationship with Your Highness. I didn't expect His Highness to not I don't like such rumors, sorry, I won't do it in the future."
The goddess raised her head and looked at Aphrodite sincerely, with many apologies.
Aphrodite unleashes the power of the Godhead of Eros, trying to capture Athena's heartbeat.
However, the goddess in front of her was quite calm and didn't have too much desire ups and downs, so Aphrodite couldn't hear anything from her heartbeat.
Aphrodite stopped using the power of her heart sounds and started talking to Athena, preparing to extract Athena's purpose and plan from her words.
Aphrodite asked: "So that's the case. Your Highness doesn't need to be so restrained and respectful. As we all know, I am a god who is easy to talk. You can talk to me freely."
Athena happily asked: "Your Highness, can you forgive my unintentional offense before?"
"certainly."
Aphrodite said calmly: "Then why Your Highness is looking for me today...?"
Athena clasped her hands together, and lightly snapped her fingers: "Because Your Highness, like me, was expelled from the sacred mountain, I think I have the same experience as Your Highness, so I want to communicate with you more."
Aphrodite suddenly sighed slightly, and then suddenly said: "Yes, according to the normal situation, you should be in the sacred mountain now, Your Highness. But you appeared in the sea realm with me, so it was because you were also expelled ah?"
Aphrodite smiled inexplicably: "I remember that His Highness respects His Majesty the God-King very much. On the day His Highness was just born, His Majesty the God-King seemed to be very gentle to you. Why were you expelled by him?"
Athena forced a smile: "The one who expelled me is not the king of gods, but the queen of gods."
"Hera..." Aphrodite whispered softly.
Athena did not hear the subtle emotions in Aphrodite's calm voice, and nodded with a gloomy face: "Not long after I was born, His Majesty the Queen of God gave birth to a new heir. Since the new Highness was conceived, The temper of the God Empress is getting irritable day by day. Coupled with the fact that the two Lord Gods are always provoking wantonly, Her Majesty the God Empress' anger is getting higher and higher day by day."
"But she couldn't punish those two lord gods, so she cast her anger on me... and expelled me from the mountain."
Athena seemed to be speaking calmly, but there was no lack of grievances in her words.
After learning that Hera had begun to conceive a new god, Aphrodite was a little shocked.
But he didn't show it at all on the surface, obviously not half interested in Athena in front of him, but Aphrodite still asked with 'caring': "Is that why you appear here, Your Highness... I sympathize with your experience, The God Empress has a bad temper. But she is not usually like this, maybe it's because of her pregnancy."
Aphrodite smiled calmly: "As the god of reproduction, although I have never conceived an offspring, I have some understanding of the process of conceiving. The offspring can't help but absorb the power of the mother goddess. While cherishing the offspring, the mother goddess They can't bear the fatigue and pain of losing their strength, so they will become more irritable at this time."
"We should be considerate of them."
Athena smiled embarrassingly. She had heard that the relationship between Hera and Aphrodite was not very good when she was in the mountain. From what she knew, Aphrodite was arrogant and vengeful. She thought he would I hate Hera.
After Athena complained about Hera's shortcomings, the response she expected was that Aphrodite showed her dissatisfaction or mocked Hera, and then they could complain about Hera together, and naturally reached an alliance.
But why was Aphrodite's reaction completely different from what she had imagined
Aphrodite stared at Athena with a smile, and gently mocked her calmly.
In the past, Aphrodite did not like Hera.
But after he had the identity of 'Nemesis'... Although this development was an accident and not his intention, Hera did become one of his very important and powerful invisible allies.
As long as she pampers and pampers 'Nemesis', then she is the Queen of God respected by Aphrodite.
Although Athena was a little unhappy about Aphrodite's reaction in her heart, she showed an apologetic look on her face at the right time: "It may be because I was born from the body of God the Father in an unconventional way, so I don't like Aphrodite. I don't really understand the impact of pregnancy. But after His Highness said this, I can understand clearly."
"It's not easy for Her Majesty Hera." She said softly.
Seeing Athena follow her own words against her will, Aphrodite lifted the cup to cover her curved lips, and lowered her long eyelashes to cover her happy eyes.
After teasing Athena for a while, Aphrodite felt a little relieved from the depression caused by Narcissus' departure, and finally brought the topic to a topic that Athena was interested in.
Aphrodite took a sip of the tea, and a look of genuine confusion appeared in her clear eyebrows: "It's just that I don't understand one thing..."
Athena responded wearily: "Huh?"
Athena originally thought that Aphrodite was a god with a status similar to hers, and he also possessed the wisdom godhead, so they should be very suitable as allies to gain a foothold on the mountain.
But why does Aphrodite give her a feeling... not good.
Aphrodite didn't care about her not very positive reaction, and asked directly: "With the example of the two main gods, I thought that because of His Highness's first-class godhead and the fact that the god king personally conceived it, You should be bestowed the Lord God by the God King. If you are the Lord God, the Queen of God will not be able to drive you away from the mountain."
Aphrodite asked: "May I take the liberty to ask, what caused you not to be named the Lord God?"
Although she has a godhead of wisdom, Athena was born not long ago. After all, she is not as scheming as Aphrodite, and the road since her birth has not been smooth, and she is not like Artemis and Apollo, who have sisters and sisters. The mothers supported each other, and the only one who could compare with them was probably the poor little Hephaestus, whom everyone hated, so many grievances were hidden in their hearts.
Normally, she was fine, but when Aphrodite asked, she couldn't restrain herself, she sniffled, and in the next second, tears fell directly.
Aphrodite froze for a moment. Desire is often involved in emotional ups and downs. Although Aphrodite has not deliberately condensed the emotional godhead, he is quite sensitive to emotional changes and can feel it. Athena It's really embarrassing at the moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he twirled a handkerchief with his fingertips and silently handed it over.
Athena took the white handkerchief sobbing, wiped her tears, and then gently said what Hera said about not letting Zeus make her the Lord God.
After hearing this, Aphrodite was amazed by Hera's actions, and thought to herself, when the queen of the gods was her own, it was really extraordinary.
The position of the main god can be withheld as soon as it is said, even Zeus is not as decisive as her.
Because of his admiration for Hera's actions, Aphrodite was not distracted by Athena's comfort. He casually comforted: "Your Highness, don't be sad, didn't the Queen of God say that when the Highness in her belly is born After that, you can continue to entrust the Lord God. Your Highness only needs to wait for a while, so don't be sad."
Athena was a little anxious when she heard the words: "But I have been in the sea realm, what if Father God gave birth to other powerful new gods during this period of time..."
Athena was afraid that if she no longer had a sense of presence in front of Zeus, and if other new gods who could replace her appeared, she would be completely forgotten in the sea realm.
At that time, let alone the position of the main god, she can't even go back to the holy mountain.
Aphrodite finally understood Athena's needs, he thought to himself, Athena was very shrewd and ambitious, even if he chose not to help her, she would definitely use other methods to return to the mountain.
Aphrodite can be sure that the main god must have a place for Athena. After all, the godhead of the first-class god is not so easy to appear.
At least in the memory of the goddess of love, not every one of the twelve main gods has the power of a first-class god, such as Hermes who ranked last and the wine who replaced the kitchen god Hestia. The god Dionysus does not have the power of a first-class god.
So Athena is definitely one of the best descendants of Zeus, and she is a goddess, there is no threat to Zeus, the main god must have a place for her.
Therefore, Aphrodite didn't mind selling Athena a favor, and reaping the gratitude of the future Lord God.
Aphrodite smiled slightly and said, "What is your Highness worrying about? It turned out to be such a trivial matter. Don't worry, Your Highness, when I return to Mount Olympus, I will definitely remind His Majesty the God King to bring you along." .”
Athena's eyes lit up with a hint of gratitude.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes slightly: "However, I have to remind Your Highness that the relationship between me and the God King is not very good, if you go back to the mountain with me, the God King will probably also snub you. At that time, the position of the main god may be unstable."
Athena smiled all over her face, her expression remained unchanged, and she said sincerely: "I just need to be able to return to the mountain, and I don't care if there is the position of the main god. Your Highness, Aphrodite, I will definitely remember it." Your help!"
She said softly: "I am the Goddess of Wisdom. When your Highness has something you cannot decide, you can ask me to help you."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Okay, please go back, Your Highness, I want to rest for a while."
Athena glanced at him, then quickly looked away. She nodded lightly: "Then I will bid farewell, Your Highness, good day."
"Good day... Your Highness Athena."
Aphrodite didn't get up, but watched Athena's back disappear.
When the slim figure of the goddess completely disappeared from his eyes, Aphrodite smiled coldly.
I just want to go back to Shenshan... but I don't want to be the Lord God...
Is the goddess of wisdom trying to trick him into thinking he's a fool
Aphrodite frowned and thought, he stroked his thoughts, if Athena was brought back to the mountain by him, then Zeus would no longer trust her. In order to gain the trust of Zeus and become the main god, Athena must do something to prove herself...
Proof of her absolute loyalty to Zeus.
Aphrodite gently clasped the table with her knuckles, thinking seriously, feeling very defensive towards Athena.
As for what Athena said at the end, to help him make up his mind, Aphrodite directly ignored it.
All it takes is one smart guy in a league.
If there are too many smart people, it is bound to compete for superiority and inferiority.
For a smart and ambitious god like Athena, unless Aphrodite became the king of gods, she would never submit to the main god of the same level as her.
Aphrodite will neither succumb to Athena's control, nor does she lack the main god Athena.
After Athena left, Aphrodite sat for a while, then got up and went to Poseidon.
He wanted to settle accounts with this nonsense guy, and by the way, figure out how true or false what Athena said to him before.
When Aphrodite came to the Neptune Palace, Poseidon was feeding his wave horse. He was a little surprised when he saw Aphrodite, and his eyes subconsciously swept around Aphrodite's lower body. When he saw that Aphrodite didn't have a fish tail, his eyes immediately became more loose and dull.
Aphrodite looked at him calmly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you something."
Poseidon scratched his head and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Aphrodite pulled the corner of her lower lip with a non-smiling smile, and said coldly: "I heard that His Majesty the Sea King told others everywhere that I had a tryst with His Majesty the God King on the mountain of God, and then I made His Majesty the God King give birth Lord Athena?"
Poseidon's eyes widened immediately, then he shook his head violently, denying Sanlian: "I'm not, I'm not, you're talking nonsense!"
Aphrodite said lightly: "But I heard everyone say, that's what you said."
Poseidon said unhappily: "I did make a little guess about Athena's birth, but I didn't say that you have any relationship with His Majesty the God King."
Aphrodite asked patiently: "Then what did you say?"
Poseidon didn't expect that Aphrodite was still asking, he said vaguely: "I don't remember clearly..."
Seeing that he was not speaking clearly, Aphrodite's slightly calm face immediately sank again.
Poseidon said with an uncomfortable face: "I really didn't say you... Well, I didn't say that the god is you. They guessed it themselves. Who told you that you were the only one with Zeus at that time?" Woolen cloth."
Aphrodite snorted coldly: "Stop talking about Your Highness, don't you think you are getting darker and darker?"
Poseidon touched his nose embarrassingly, and Aphrodite said speechlessly, "Please repeat the original words to me."
Poseidon asked: "Why do you have to ask this?"
Aphrodite glared at him, her beautiful eyes were threatening, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have been so slandered for something I have not done, of course I will find a way to clarify it for me."
Poseidon patted the wave god horse who came closer, and muttered: "This kind of good thing is not envied by others. What can you clarify?"
Aphrodite looked at him in surprise and doubt, and repeated: "Envy?"
Poseidon was righteous and confident: "Yes! That's the king of gods, he gave up his dignity to help himself..."
Aphrodite's complexion changed, and she immediately stretched out her hand to cover Poseidon's mouth.
They were outside the palace at this time, and besides the magical horses of the waves, occasionally some sea monsters would swim by, so the environment of the conversation was not secretive.
After Aphrodite realized what Poseidon was about to say, she immediately covered his mouth with her hand and pushed him into the temple.
Poseidon didn't dare to bind his hands and kept struggling, but Aphrodite was taller than him, with more flexible hands and feet, and took the initiative, with a wider range of motion. With a flexible movement of his wrist, he could untie it in two or three strokes. With the strength of Poseidon, his left hand pressed his wrists behind his back and locked them together, his right hand covered his mouth, with a frosty face under the curious gaze of the God of Waves, he pushed Poseidon into the temple .
After entering the temple, Aphrodite let go of Poseidon's hand, and pushed him hard. Poseidon staggered from being pushed, rubbed his wrist, and complained angrily: "Aphrodite, What kind of nerve do you suddenly have!"
Aphrodite said coldly: "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that you can't speak your mind, Your Highness. What were you going to say just now!"
Poseidon recalled it for a while, and complained: "I want to say, the king of the gods gave up his dignity to bite you and surrender himself to you. If you say this, it will save you more face. Why is it not enviable?" Something happened?!"
"No one else wants to have it."
Aphrodite was so angry that she almost wanted to go up and beat Poseidon.
"This kind of good thing, whoever wants it, can take it. I feel very disgusted when I see Zeus's face, and I don't want to have such rumors with him at all."
Poseidon scratched his head and said melancholy: "To be honest, if possible, I would replace you with myself. Hehe, that bastard Zeus bit me and ate mine. It's a pity, I wasn't there at the time, so it's not easy to put this on my own head."
Aphrodite glanced at him speechlessly, but also thought about it, Poseidon didn't really spread his gossip on purpose, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this matter was especially for Aphrodite to save face of.
Thinking of this, Aphrodite's expression suddenly changed, his beautiful eyes turned, and then he showed a sly smile, and said meaningfully: "If His Majesty Neptune wants to, it's not impossible to make it up."
Poseidon quickly asked: "How?"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows, implying something: "Your Majesty, you know that the birth of a god, especially a powerful first-class god like Athena, takes a long time."
Poseidon stroked his chin, pondering.
Aphrodite patted his shoulder lightly, gave Poseidon a color, and gently guided in his ear: "I just happened to meet the birth of Her Highness Athena, in fact, as early as A long time ago, His Majesty the God King did that kind of thing for an unknown male god... "
Poseidon groaned, and suddenly got inspiration, clapped his hands together, and said excitedly: "I remembered, when Athena first came to the sea realm, Your Excellency Tesis once said that Athena smelled the breath of the ocean! "
"So Athena's other father is also a god of the sea world!"
The smile on Aphrodite's face couldn't help but grow bigger. He gently ironed Poseidon's clothes that he had messed up before, and praised him very generously: "Your Majesty the Sea King is very reasonable...you You are the king of the sea realm, who else in the sea realm can be more legitimate and noble than you?"
