Both Nix and Erebus noticed Aphrodite's actions, but neither of them said anything.
After several of them recovered their divine power, they returned to Hades.
After that, the temple suddenly fell silent.
The standing god lowered his head silently, for fear that if he failed to do something well, he would be picked up by the god king or main god who was in a bad mood to vent his anger.
The main gods all sat on their thrones, either closing their eyes to meditate, or distracting their minds, but they didn't say a word.
After a long time, Zeus sneered and taunted lightly: "Everyone took my face seriously today, are you proud now?"
Aphrodite rubbed her fingertips on her smooth chin, and smiled: "We don't want to offend you, after all, you are our king. But your majesty, you just want to do something we can't bear, so... we can only strongly defend yourself against you."
The main gods nodded again and again.
Maybe because he felt that he had already scolded Zeus a lot, and he didn't care about adding another sentence, Demeter said coldly: "Your Majesty the God King, I hope you will think twice before you act next time. The majesty of the Lord God...cannot be desecrated!"
After she finished speaking, she quietly glanced at Aphrodite from the corner of her eye, and Aphrodite looked at Hestia.
Demeter pondered and understood what Aphrodite meant.
When everyone subconsciously stood up before, only Hestia had a different reaction from everyone else, which seemed too strange.
Now that everyone has offended Zeus, it is natural to drag the last guy into the water to prevent her from watching the fire from the other side.
When Demeter turned her attack on Zeus, she looked at Hestia with a smile and asked, "Sister, do you think we have gone too far?"
Hestia was suddenly named, and his face immediately became uncomfortable.
This goddess has slightly brown curly hair and light amber eyes. She looks very gentle and peaceful, but at the same time, she is also a little weak and bullying.
Hestia pursed her lips, avoided looking at the gods, and said falteringly, "I think what you say makes sense..."
Zeus' face immediately turned down, and Hestia quickly added: "But I think the way you express your dissatisfaction is too much. After all, it is His Majesty the God King. If we are dissatisfied with the actions of the God King, we can calmly Advise him instead of threatening him like this…”
Zeus paused, his cold face softened again, and he said with a smile: "This is the correct performance of being a subordinate god. You should learn more from Hestia."
Demeter sneered coldly, and unceremoniously rolled her eyes at Hestia, looking extremely disdainful towards her.
Hestia blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Aphrodite said lightly: "Let's stop here."
Zeus gave him a cold look, rolled his eyes, and had a new idea in his heart: "This matter will stop here, but I have a new law to promulgate."
Aphrodite raised her hand and made a gesture of 'please': "Please speak, Your Majesty."
Zeus said coldly: "I think, as the king of the gods, I have the right to depose and appoint all the gods. What do the gods think?"
Aphrodite stroked her chin, and Arisford approached her heart, and asked coldly, "Including the position of the main god?"
Zhou Dun paused: "Including."
Artemis and Apollo's eyes became colder, and there was a coldness in their eyes.
Aphrodite observed Zeus' expression and performance. His gaze was calm, without any hesitation. It could be seen that he was determined to implement this law.
But it is also understandable that Aphrodite's move to lead the main gods to rebel against him has made him realize how weak his control over the main gods is.
In order to consolidate his position, he had to do something to centralize his authority.
Aphrodite lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Yes, but you can't go back to the past. Your Majesty is in charge of appointing and dismissing the last two vacant positions of Lord God, but I'll just forget it."
Zeus frowned, and Aphrodite said coldly: "If Your Majesty can go back to the past according to the newly promulgated laws, then in the future, any gods that make you dissatisfied can be promulgated by you now." The law and then accountability? This kind of thing violates the interests of all gods, and there must be no precedent."
Zeus looked at him and said with a strange smile: "Okay, then I will control the last two positions of the main gods. However, if you who have already confirmed the positions of the main gods agree, you can also transfer the positions of the main gods."
Contempt appeared in the eyes of all the main gods, thinking, which idiot would make such a choice, is there something wrong with his brain
Aphrodite had already agreed to Zeus's proposal, and the main gods who trusted him stopped arguing and agreed to the promulgation of Zeus's new law.
Zeus said coldly: "Let's go, everyone."
Aphrodite stood up first, and after standing up, he suddenly let out a light sigh, and then sat down again. He said to Zeus: "There is something that I almost forgot to tell Your Majesty. When I came back from the sea, His Majesty the Sea King also Come back to the mountain with me."
"?"
Zeus immediately remembered what Poseidon had said, and his face sank immediately, even more terrifying than when the main gods resisted him before.
Aphrodite said calmly: "There is also His Highness Athena, she also came with her, but she was concerned that His Highness was not born before, so she didn't go to the mountain together. Now His Highness is born, and the God King Her Highness Athena can be summoned back."
Zeus had a sullen face with a terrifying expression: "I see, you all go out."
Aphrodite stood up again, and after a simple ceremony, she left proudly under the gaze of the gods.
Gaiahera followed, and then the main gods, and Hestia came last. After the main gods had all left, the gods followed slowly and left the palace of the king of gods.
Zeus watched the gods leave dimly, thought for a while, and summoned Athena at the foot of the mountain.
As for Poseidon, hehe, he should stay in the sea realm honestly, who invited him
After Aphrodite left the temple, she didn't leave immediately. Several other main gods came out quickly, wandering slowly behind hesitantly, wanting to come up to talk to Aphrodite, but worried that their relationship with Aphrodite would be too obvious, and then provoke Peeking and fear.
Just as the main gods were hesitating, Ares walked out quickly, walked up to Aphrodite and stood down in front of Aphrodite with burning eyes.
Looking at him, Aphrodite's eyes trembled slightly, like a stone falling in a calm lake, causing ripples.
Ares stared blankly at Aphrodite, his mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
He was a little strange, it was obviously the first time he saw Aphrodite, and he always had the feeling that he had known him for a long time.
His heart was constantly ups and downs, as if mixed into the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, with all kinds of tastes, extremely complicated.
Ares spoke, his voice hoarse due to the fluctuation of his mood: "Your Highness Aphrodite..."
Aphrodite smiled slightly, and the strange color in her eyes quickly dissipated and disappeared, and now she looks at Ares in the same way as his god.
Ares said dazedly: "I don't know why, the first time I saw Your Highness, I had countless emotions in my heart. I feel as if I have seen you before I was born..."
The main gods around who listened to him with their ears pricked up all showed disdainful smiles. Isn't it just love at first sight and love at first sight
Also said that I saw you a long time ago, ridiculous!
Hera lowered her face and shouted, "Ares! Come here."
Ares froze for a moment, looked at Hera, and frowned.
Hera glanced at Aphrodite lightly, and Aphrodite raised her eyebrows at him, with a half-smile but with emotion in her eyes.
The arc of Hera's lips twitched uncomfortably. She couldn't deny that when she saw Aphrodite's eyes that were very similar to 'Nemesis', her heart always softened involuntarily. Can't add bad words to him.
So after a moment of silence, Hera recalled her dry voice, full of powerlessness and dryness: "Ares, although many words of the God King are inexplicable and absurd, but his evaluation of Aphrodite Didn’t do it. The god in front of you is the most arrogant god in this domain, you don’t want to get along with this guy too much.”
Ares frowned, and immediately became a little unhappy.
Aphrodite patted his palm quietly from a hidden angle, signaling Ares not to quarrel with Hera.
After Ares, who was about to move, was quiet, Aphrodite looked at Hera and smiled: "Your Majesty, you and the King of God are the highest gods in this world, and you two have repeatedly called them 'arrogant'." Me, can I also call myself the 'god of madness'?"
Aphrodite did not follow the law, and Hera and Zeus had indeed scolded him like this many times, so the law responded to his call, and actually gave him a godhead of "arrogance" in the ranks of third-class gods.
Aphrodite raised the 'arrogant' godhead, and thanked Hera with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the bestowal of the godhead."
After being silent for two seconds, Hera pulled Laares and cursed dryly in a low voice: "Trash Zeus, more than failure."
What does Aphrodite's arrogant godhead have to do with her Hera? The guy who scolds him all the time is Zeus!
Thinking of this, Hera took it for granted in an instant, raised her head arrogantly, and pulled Ares away from Aphrodite.
Ares looked at Aphrodite reluctantly, and subconsciously wanted to shake off Hera's hand and stay, but Aphrodite had already said: "Looking forward to our next meeting, Your Highness Ares."
Ares pursed his lips, and replied reluctantly: "Okay... Your Highness Aphrodite, I will go to you as soon as I have spoken to the mother goddess."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Then I look forward to our next meeting."
Ares's heart was pounding, and he was satisfied immediately, and followed Hera away happily and dizzily.
After watching Hera go away, Aphrodite naturally glanced at the remaining main gods one by one, then ignored their eagerness, and said to Hephaestus: "Hephaestus Your Highness, I have something I want to talk to you alone. I wonder if you are free now?"
Hephaestus tugged on his black cloak in a panic. After a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "I'm free, anytime."
The smile in Aphrodite's eyes deepened, and she said gently, "Is that going to your temple, or mine?"
Hephaestus wanted to say that his temple was a bit messy because it was full of forging materials.
But he was inexplicably in awe of Aphrodite's palace, and he didn't dare to set foot on it easily.
In the end, he could only say: "I, I can do it."
Aphrodite said: "Then go to my temple, because I am more familiar with it and it is more convenient to do some things there."
The main gods who were about to leave after being ignored by Aphrodite immediately stopped, turned around abruptly, and stared at Aphrodite in disbelief.
Aphrodite was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, she also figured out the ambiguity in her words.
He twitched the corners of his lips uncomfortably, and explained in embarrassment: "Because I haven't taken the life essence that God Gaia gave me before, so I want to try to see if I can use it to heal Her Majesty Hephaestus. The injury. My purpose is very simple, and it is not what you think."
Artemis rubbed her nose, blinked her emerald eyes innocently, and said with a naive smile: "I didn't think about anything, Your Highness, you misunderstood."
Aphrodite smiled softly.
When Gaia heard this, she became anxious: "If you don't take it, return the life essence to me. Didn't I give Hephaestus half a drop before? If half a drop is useless, another drop is useless. Don't use it like this again." Precious things are wasted for this trash!"
Hephaestus' heart was already numb, and he didn't respond to Gaia's contemptuous words.
Aphrodite frowned slightly, and gently pushed Gaia away indifferently: "The things have already been given to me, so please don't worry about it anymore. And don't use words like 'trash' to describe Hephaisto His Royal Highness, I think that "waste" should refer to the kind of guy who is lazy, undisciplined, incompetent and likes to complain about others, but anyone who has a commendable merit in mind and ability should not be called such a word. humiliation."
Gaia glanced at Hephaestus with disgust: "He's ugly and lame!"
Aphrodite said impatiently: "But he is very powerful, he is the main god, and he has a powerful forging technology. Well, Your Highness Gaia, this is the end of this matter, I don't want to go to you for this. If things are entangled, you also take a step back, okay?"
Gaia bit her lip and pushed away reluctantly.
Aphrodite hurriedly pulled Hephaestus out of this disputed place, entered her own temple, and closed the door of the temple again.
After the two of them disappeared, Gaia reacted on the spot for a while, and suddenly stomped angrily: "Damn Aphrodite, my purpose is obviously the life essence, who wants to argue with you whether that lame man is a waste?" ah!"
Gaia was so angry that she kept knocking on the door of the Temple of Eros, but there was no movement in the temple. Obviously, the people in the temple decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb until the end.
Artemis and Apollo walked side by side, and Artemis and Apollo whispered contemptuously: "God Gaia looks so stupid like this."
Apollo responded softly, and warned: "Don't learn from her."
Artemis happily replied: "Of course!"
Then the two happily left hand in hand, Gaia stood there for a few seconds with a green and pale face, and left in shame covering her face.
In the Temple of Eros, Hephaestus sat restrainedly opposite Aphrodite, and Aphrodite listened to the voice at the gate of the temple. After seeing the voice for a while, Aphrodite lightened up. He sighed and said, "God Gaia has given up."
Hephaestus whispered: "Your Highness, you don't have to fight God Gaia for me."
Aphrodite said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I was in a good state at the beginning. Logically speaking, God Gaia shouldn't have given me a drop of life essence. But she gave it all, and if she asked It’s always going to be weird to go back.”
"Besides, I also need to use this life essence, and I didn't waste it. The meaning of it being given to me is to help a main god."
Aphrodite said, and took out the drop of life liquid.
Crystal clear drops of water rolled gently on his white palm, and the breath of life flowed out from it.
Hephaestus looked at the drop of life liquid, and his throat kept rolling.
He thought he was so strange, obviously he was in such a happy mood at the moment, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his eyes were sore.
Aphrodite looked at the original life liquid and thought, "I thought that half a drop of the original life liquid should be able to repair the injury on your leg, but judging by your walking posture, it seems that there is no change. Could this be related to the original life liquid? Is it related to the way you take it?"
Aphrodite asked: "Hephaestus, did you take it directly last time? If so, why don't we try to apply the original solution on your wound this time."
Hephaestus asked softly: "Your Highness, why do you treat me so well? I am... so ugly. Although my forging skills are still useful, but you are the main god, even if you treat me badly, I will It will also create artifacts and everything you want for you."
After a few seconds of silence, Aphrodite said, "Maybe it's because of... pity? But it doesn't seem like pity."
Hephaestus couldn't help raising his head, staring intently at Aphrodite with those golden red eyes that were burning like flames.
After deliberating her words, Aphrodite said affirmatively, "Yes, it's not about pity, but about inappropriateness."
"Because the attitude of the gods towards you does not meet my definition of beauty."
There was a trace of bewilderment in Hephaestus' eyes.
Aphrodite said calmly: "Because for other people, having a divine body is considered a god, so the gods seem to think that the beauty and ugliness of the body is the direct definition of beauty."
"But apart from our body, we also have a soul, which is the cohesion of all our inner beings. The soul also has beauty and ugliness. With the fall of Iapetus, the god of souls, into the abyss, everyone God slowly forgets the soul, but forgetting does not mean disappearing, it always exists."
Aphrodite opened her other hand to Hephaestus: "Can you put your hand up?"
Hephaestus followed his words carefully and placed his palm on Aphrodite's.
His skin is the color of tung oil, not fair enough, but still beautiful, with a honey-like luster flowing on the surface.
It's just that the surface of the skin is covered with blue-blue patterns with distinct layers and dense distribution.
The patterns are dense but beautiful. But when he glanced at the past, he felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and this feeling became more and more intense as time went by.
After observing for a while, Aphrodite, who was in charge of the priesthood of vengeance, determined that those patterns were Hera's disgust and hatred.
The Queen of God's hatred was so strong that she wrapped Hephaestus tightly, and all the gods who saw him could not help but hate him under Hera's resentment.
And Hera himself was even more unable to avoid this power of resentment, and under the influence of the power of resentment, his sanity would develop to extremes.
So, after Hephaestus was born, Hera, who hated him to the extreme, threw him down from the mountain of God.
Seeing Aphrodite staring at the patterns on his body, Hephaestus felt a little regretful that he stretched out his hand. He wanted to retract his hand, but Aphrodite grabbed it tightly.
Aphrodite urged the priesthood of the soul, and said to Hephaestus: "Your Highness, look."
Hephaestus lowered his head, only to see an illusory golden-red orb floating slowly in his palm.
The golden-red orb was like a fiercely burning flame, extremely bright and bright, but there were thin black threads emerging from all sides, which was quite obvious.
Aphrodite analyzed it to Hephaestus: "Look, Your Highness, this is your soul. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. I don't think there are any gods on the mountain that are more beautiful than it."
After thinking about it, Aphrodite added: "The souls of Artemis and Apollo should be pretty, as well as Her Highness Ares."
Hephaestus pursed his lips, not wanting to hear Aphrodite praise others.
So he pretended not to hear, focused on his soul projection, and asked, "What are those black silk threads?"
Aphrodite said: "Well... it should be your resentment and malice towards certain gods..."
Hephaestus immediately withdrew his hand and hid it under the cloak again, and the soul projection collapsed with his movement.
Hephaestus was ashamed that his soul did not dare to be perfect, he said softly: "His Royal Highness Apollo, are their souls perfect?"
Aphrodite couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible? If anyone's soul in God's Domain can be called perfect, I guess it should only be those few primitive gods."
"God Gaia is an exception, and God Nix and Erebus must be flawless."
"What about yours?" Hephaestus couldn't help asking.
Aphrodite opened her hand and showed Hephaestus the projection of her own soul.
It was a sky with two distinct colors, one side was the endless night, and the other side was the vast blue sky.
In the two-color sky, there are countless mottled dots of different colors, like stars.
Aphrodite looked at the pure black half of the sky and said with a smile: "I am not a perfect god, in fact, I am more indifferent and cruel than most gods."
Hephaestus said in a daze: "But perfection is not necessarily beautiful. A soul like your highness is more complex and magnificent, which shocked me."
Aphrodite laughed. As a goddess of beauty, although he himself was modest, he was still very happy after being affirmed by others.
Aphrodite said: "Do you know why I tell you this?"
Hephaestus shook his head in bewilderment.
Aphrodite said softly: "Because I want to correct the gods' definition of beauty, they don't need to approve the new definition, but they can't be so superficial and single."
"It's just that before that, I have another thing to do."
"His Royal Highness Hephaestus, I can ask you. What kind of things do you do to me that will make you think you are blaspheming me?"
Hephaestus lowered his head deeply, and said hoarsely, "See my face."
Sorry, Your Highness Aphrodite. Although you redefine beauty, I am as shallow as the gods on the mountain, and I feel inferior and desperate for my appearance.
I don't want you to see such an ugly thing.
Aphrodite put away his soul projection, and he pinched the sitting Hephaestus's chin, forcing him to raise his head and face to look at himself: "Then if, let me see your face can How about breaking someone else's curse on me, are you willing to help me?"
Hephaestus nodded heavily, Aphrodite raised her hand, the life essence rolled down from the palm of her hand, hit the table crisply, and then stood still.
Aphrodite took off Hephaestus' cloak and his mask.
Hephaestus closed his eyes in pain, but Aphrodite's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
He could clearly feel that the shackles that bound his soul were quietly broken, and the cracks disappeared.
Aphrodite raised the corners of her lips and said with a sneer, "Fortunately, Cronus Niwang is also a god with a 'simple and rough' aesthetic."
He gently stroked Hephaestus' closed eyes with his fingertips, and called gently: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness Hephaestus, you can open your eyes now."
"By the way, in the name of the God of Beauty, I have to tell you sincerely, at least for me, regardless of the soul, the face of your divine body is by no means ugly, just as handsome."
He is the god of beauty, but also the god of vengeance, and the power of vengeance has isolated him from the erosion of the power of resentment.
So at this time, he is sincerely praising Hephaestus, he admires the beauty covered with patterns, although it is strange, it is also magnificent.
