Aphrodite rolled up the parchment and sat at the table with her chin propped up to think carefully.
Just now, Aphrodite made an arrangement in her heart.
Among the things that may happen in the future, the ones that have the least influence on him are love affairs and curses.
Aphrodite has sufficient knowledge of himself, and he is sure that he will not be bewitched by love and eventually lose his mind.
Because Aphrodite felt love for a moment... that reflection of him, Narcissus.
But after sending him away, Aphrodite spent a day calming down her mood, diluting the throbbing that soaked into the bone marrow.
Under his absolute rationality, he will never let any emotional factors affect him or change him.
Aphrodite closed her eyes and kept tapping her fingertips on the table, unless... something could confuse his mind, or worse, even cause him to lose his memory directly.
Lost sanity, lost memory...
Based on these two pieces of information, Aphrodite locked the two goddesses in her mind.
He rerolled the parchment, picked up a reed pen and wrote two names after the first warning.
After the warning, comes the wish of Tartarus and the second half of the curse of Cronus.
Aphrodite stared at Tartarus' wish for a moment, drew a horizontal line on that line, and skipped it directly.
Then circled the word 'true' on Cronus' curse.
Aphrodite murmured: "Your Highness Tartarus, I regard you as a close friend. If possible, I really don't want to hurt you. So... I hope my last refusal will dispel your wish. If No-"
Aphrodite fell silent. He frowned and stared in one direction. When he looked carefully, he could find that his sight was not focused, it was very empty.
After a while, Aphrodite said in a low voice: "If not—
Then I can only implement according to the original plan. "
"Sorry, but I don't want to lose my mind and become a puppet controlled by others."
Aphrodite sorted out the prophecies and warnings, and focused on the line of Zeus and Athena. After pondering for a few seconds, he wrote a note on Athena's name—the beginning of the story and calculation, the plot calculator.
Although the fall of Metis was full of comics, but from Zeus' dementia behavior and funny performance after devouring her and the Godhead of Wisdom, Aphrodite believed that the Godhead of Wisdom should have enlightened a little during that time, and learned to The application of conspiracy calculations.
As the second-generation god of wisdom, Athena needs to be vigilant.
But it was just to be vigilant. Among the contents written by Aphrodite, the existence that made him fear the most was Gaia.
To be more precise, Aphrodite was afraid of Gaia's goal, the birth of little Eros.
Although Aphrodite had never dealt with the fallen primitive Eros, she also knew that the existence of Eros was similar to him.
And this existence similar to Aphrodite is planning to conceive from his body, using his body as a hotbed and nourishment...
Just thinking about it, Aphrodite was full of hostility, unable to bear the slightest bit.
Aphrodite is not a kind and generous god. Gaia tried to replace him with Eros, and Aphrodite also longed to possess the power of Eros.
As the new God of Eros, Aphrodite is only a first-class god, not a primitive god, and Gaia has such plans and plans. From this, it is speculated that Aphrodite reasonably suspects that there is still a large part of love. The power of desire wanders outside his god.
Although Gaia's calculation is a bit dangerous for him, it is also his opportunity.
Aphrodite pondered: "According to Her Majesty Tartarus, Gaia's prophecy is actually very vague, and she seems to be able to confirm that the new God of Love who inherits the name of Eros will be conceived by me, and all this is possible. It's just what she saw, but she didn't do it herself."
Aphrodite nodded slowly: "So what I have to do is to create a 'little Eros', who is nominally the son of me and Ares, so that it conforms to Gaia's prophecy."
Judging from the characteristics of prophecy and fate, the people who are most confused by prophecy and most teased by fate are those who need prophecy and spy on fate.
Gaia fits this profile.
Chances are good that Aphrodite managed to fool her.
"After fulfilling the prophecy... all I need to do is to use some means to disguise and dress him up, so that God Gaia believes that the 'Little Eros' is the fallen and reborn Primordial God of Eros."
"The former is easy to do. I control the priesthood of reproduction and soul. It is very easy to conceive a new god. It is even easier for Ares to cooperate with me to perform. The key is, how do I disguise the new god as Eros?" After all, it is a primitive god, a field I have never set foot in, and it is hard to say if there is any mystery hidden in it." Aphrodite thought tangledly.
"Do you still want me to trouble Her Majesty Tartarus?" Aphrodite was a little unhappy.
Because Tartarus is different from other gods, the other main gods have more or less received the favor and guidance of Aphrodite, and Aphrodite will not have too much entanglement in using them.
But Tartarus is different. So far, Aphrodite has unilaterally asked for it in the process of getting along with them. The previous trip to the abyss brought terrible benefits to Aphrodite. In contrast, Aphrodite couldn't give Tartarus what he wanted.
Aphrodite feels indebted to Tartarus.
But Aphrodite would have no one to turn to if she did not seek Tartarus.
Only the primitive gods understand the primitive gods. There are only four primitive gods, and the primitive gods generally live in seclusion. It is not easy for Aphrodite to get acquainted with Tartarus. Nix and Erebus Let’s not talk about unfamiliarity over there, even if they are, they probably won’t help Aphrodite deceive Gaia.
Aphrodite bit her lip, and the balance in her heart slowly became unbalanced.
After a while, interests and reason prevailed.
Aphrodite opened the box containing the soul fragments of Iapetus. His face was expressionless, but his cheeks were flushed with shame, like a budding peach blossom, extremely gorgeous.
Iapetus only had two soul fragments floating outside, and it didn't take much effort to control them, so he quickly recognized that the scene in front of him was the temple of Aphrodite. Iapetos asked in fear: "Your Highness Aphrodite, is there something you summoned me for?"
Aphrodite pursed her lips and nodded lightly, and asked with a wandering gaze: "Your Highness Iapetus, may I ask... Well, can you contact His Highness Tartarus?"
Iapetus, who was in the silence of the abyss, froze for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "Should...can you? When we used to yell and make a lot of noise in the abyss, His Highness Tartarus would be killed. We wake up from our sleep, and he, who is not happy, shows up and whips us."
Iapetus asked anxiously: "Your Highness, do you need me to help you wake up His Highness Tartarus?"
Aphrodite asked softly, "Can you?"
Iapetus was crying, and he was very unwilling in his heart. Tartarus was in a very irritable mood when he was woken up, and it hurt especially when he hit someone.
But it was Aphrodite who made the request...
Iapetos gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "D-of course."
There was a smile in Aphrodite's voice: "Then I will trouble you."
Iapetus responded and turned his attention back into the abyss.
He recalled the terrible power of Tartarus, and he thumped the rock wall beside him vigorously, and then the chains that locked his arms kept shaking.
All kinds of movements mixed together, and the silent abyss suddenly became noisy.
"Damn it, which bastard made the noise?"
"Be quiet, bastard, don't wake Tartarus up."
The titan gods cursed in a low voice one after another. They scolded each other for a while, and after seeing that the commotion was still going on, they all reported their names and screened themselves to see which bastard was trying to kill them.
After reporting the names in turn, the Titan God quickly locked on the culprit, Iapetus.
Hyperion cursed: "Iapetus, are you sick? If you wake up Tartarus, you will be punished yourself. Don't drag us down!"
Iapetus was extremely wronged: "I don't want to, His Highness Aphrodite asked me to do this. He seems to have something to do with His Highness Tartarus."
After hearing Aphrodite's name, the Titans stopped breathing and became a little confused.
When everyone's cursing suddenly stopped, another relatively unfamiliar low-pitched voice suddenly sounded in Iapetus' ear: "Did Aphrodite say what she wanted to do with me?"
Iapetus didn't speak. He was frightened by Tartarus who suddenly spoke. He pinched his neck with his hands and could not get up or down.
After noticing Iapetos' embarrassing performance, Tartaros stretched out his feet speechlessly, and said in disgust, "Why are you so useless?"
Iapetus slowly regained his strength, and when he heard Tartaros' disdainful voice, he wanted to cry even more without tears: "Your Highness, you appeared too secretly, and I didn't realize it all at once."
Tartarus urged, "What does Aphrodite want from me?"
Iapetus said slowly: "His Royal Highness Aphrodite didn't tell me, he just asked me to wake you up first."
Tartarus was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Then you ask him now."
Iapetus nodded quickly, and passed Tartarus' words to Aphrodite.
Seeing that Tartarus actually appeared, Aphrodite felt a little strange. He greeted softly: "Good day, Your Highness, I am sorry that I disturbed your rest again."
Tartarus was obviously more patient with Aphrodite. Although his tone was cold when he told Iapetus, the content he said was very gentle and peaceful: "I fell asleep only because I was bored. It's not because I need sleep. Since I don't need it, there's no interruption."
When the Titan gods heard this, they all complained in their hearts. When we quarreled with you before, you looked like you wished to peel us alive. As a respected Lord of the Primordial God, you are too double-standard!
After the two chatted back and forth through Iapetus, Tartarus asked Aphrodite again why he was looking for him.
Aphrodite fell silent.
Still getting no answer from Aphrodite, Tartarus thought it was something wrong with Iapetus, so he couldn't help but tapped Iapetus' head with his fingers, and shook his head again. He shook his head and asked doubtfully, "Iapetus, what's wrong with you? Why don't you continue to send messages?"
Iapetus: "..."
Iapetus was dazed by Tartaros, and explained helplessly: "Your Highness, I have no problem. It is Your Highness Aphrodite who has been silent."
Tartaros snorted, withdrew his hand calmly, and urged: "Then you urge Aphrodite again, and you tell him to tell me directly if you have any difficulties, don't hesitate."
Iapetus hurriedly passed the words to Tartarus, and after struggling for a moment, Aphrodite decided to be quick.
Anyway, if you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about it.
Aphrodite asked: "Iapetus, are there any other gods around you besides His Majesty Tartarus?"
Iapetus nodded, Aphrodite: "Please tell Your Highness Tartarus, please ask him to take you into the hidden place, so that other gods cannot hear our conversation."
Iapetus still has hope in Aphrodite, and as long as Aphrodite controls his soul shard, he will never betray Aphrodite.
But the other Titans are different. If the fragments on Prometheus fail to rebel, the Titans will lose all hope.
Aphrodite did not forget that Tartarus said that the king of gods can enter the abyss. If Zeus went to the abyss to talk to the Titans on a whim one day, Aphrodite's secrets would all be exposed.
Therefore, Aphrodite had to avoid the Titans from the very beginning, so as not to give her planning and layout a chance of mistakes.
Upon hearing this, Tartarus took Iapetos into a separate space, and then said, "Okay, now you can talk."
Iapetus sent word.
After a few seconds of silence, Aphrodite asked, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you, is there any way to disguise yourself as His Highness Eros?"
Tartarus's expression didn't change, he pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Who do you want to hide from?"
Aphrodite: "...Your Majesty Gaia."
Tartarus understood: "You don't want to conceive Eros, so you are going to find a god to pretend to be Eros to deceive Gaia?"
Aphrodite smiled lightly: "Your Highness, you are too smart."
The corners of Tartaros's lips curled up a little: "Music."
Then he stroked his chin and thought about it. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you just hide it from other gods, it's quite easy, but it's a bit difficult to hide it from Gaia. I have to take you to a place in person. …”
When Tartarus mentioned this place, he paused, as if he was a little confused.
Although Aphrodite did not talk to him face to face, Iapetus imitated Tartarus' tone and speed very well, so Aphrodite also noticed his hesitation.
Aphrodite asked: "Your Highness, is this place special?"
Tartarus paused, and said, "Yes, that place is God the Father... that is, the temple of the Creator God Chaos."
Aphrodite was stunned, and said in surprise: "God Chaos still has a temple? Is God Chaos still there?"
Tartarus tutted lightly: "He's not here. If he was, he would definitely drive Zeus away and become the king of gods himself. He is more... um, a lot more rampant than Zeus. We are his children and offspring, we are all like him."
The "likeness" that Tartarus refers to is character, and the gods of the Greek gods pay more attention to color and lust, which has a lot to do with their creator god Chaos.
Aphrodite twitched the corners of her lips, and said helplessly, "That's really lucky..."
Tartarus said: "If you want to go to the Temple of Chaos, I can leave the mountain to find you and take you there. But before you go, you must first complete one thing. If you can't complete it, even You can't get in even outside the Temple of Chaos."
Aphrodite hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Your Highness."
Tartarus told Aphrodite: "Gaia has a golden apple tree, and that golden apple tree is planted in her back garden. On the surface, the golden apple tree is nothing special, but its The root is actually the seal outside the temple of Chaos. You must find a way to remove the golden apple tree, so that you can find the temple and enter it successfully."
Aphrodite asked: "Does Your Highness Gaia know that the root is connected to the seal of the temple?"
Tartarus smiled and said, "Of course... but she probably wouldn't have thought that I would take you there."
Aphrodite said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help. I will find a way to solve the golden apple tree, and I will leave the matter of the Temple of Chaos to you."
Tartarus responded softly, "Yes."
Aphrodite fell silent, and after a while, she said softly: "Your Highness has helped me a lot, sometimes I am really distressed, and I don't know how to repay you."
Tartarus smiled, and said cheerfully, "I'll get paid myself."
Aphrodite: "...?" Pay? Is it still the same idea
Aphrodite's eyes fell on the rolled parchment, she was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: "Well, since His Highness has his own plans, I will not ask His Highness in detail."
Then he murmured softly to himself: "If the question is too detailed, I'm a little worried that when I'm sure that the god who affects me is His Highness, I won't be able to be cruel, and I won't be able to take action."
Tartarus said honestly, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Aphrodite glanced lightly at Iapetus's soul fragment, and smiled without emotion, the corners of her lips were raised high, but her eyes were cold.
He stretched out his index finger and gesticulated on his lips, signaling him to keep quiet and not to pass on any words.
Aphrodite smiled gently: "It's fine if you don't understand... As long as I know that I am not using His Highness for free, then I don't have to worry about being too indebted to you and dare not embarrass Your Highness,"
In the darkness, Tartarus' ears turned red quietly, and he thought a little shyly, is he really the god of sweet words and love? Why are the plain words spoken by him...
Tartarus whispered: "It's okay, you can use me as much as you want. As long as I can help you."
Iapetus was expressionless, like a machine without emotion, and asked dully: "Your Highness, do you want to say this to Your Highness Aphrodite?"
Tartarus said nothing, and silence meant no denial.
Iapetus honestly passed the words to Aphrodite, and Aphrodite covered her lips with her fist and gave a chuckle.
Then he put away the roll of parchment on the table, and said while rolling it, "Then I will deal with the matter of the golden apple tree. Next, I will wait for His Highness to come and look for me."
Tartarus nodded, and Aphrodite asked, "Then I will cut off the connection with Iapetus?"
Tartarus reluctantly said, "Okay... see you next time."
Aphrodite said softly: "Goodbye, I look forward to meeting you soon, Your Highness."
After speaking, put the soul fragment of Iapetus back into the box and close the box again.
Aphrodite put away the scroll and the box carefully, thinking, these two things are very important, it would be great if Narcissus returned... I can put the things in the mirror space, so that I can carry them with me.
Thinking of this, Aphrodite's heart moved, and she wanted to see Narcissus.
As soon as Aphrodite thought about it, suddenly a god called him through the connection of the godhead.
Aphrodite glanced at it, and when she saw that the god calling him was Nemesis, her expression softened a little.
Because the queen Hera treated Nemesis differently, the identity of Nemesis was very valuable.
Among the gods, Nemesis's position in Aphrodite's heart is second only to Narcissus and Ares.
Aphrodite opened the eyes left in Nemesis's godhood, and appeared in front of Nemesis in a phantom.
Seeing him appear, Nemesis hurriedly saluted.
Aphrodite falsely raised her hand to let Nemesis stand up, while looking at the surrounding environment.
Nemesis was deep in a lush forest at this time, and this forest gave Aphrodite an inexplicably familiar feeling.
The memories of the gods are favored by the goddess of memory, and they are all unforgettable. After Aphrodite thought about it, she immediately remembered that she had seen this forest there.
— Narcissus was left by him at the river god in the center of the forest.
Thinking of Nemesis' priesthood, Aphrodite's originally mild expression immediately sank, and he asked in a serious tone, "Nemesis, why did you summon me?"
Nemesis stood up apprehensively, seeing the change in Aphrodite's face, feeling more and more disturbed, she whispered, "It's because of a beautiful young man living in this forest..."
Nemesis paused for a moment, feeling that he was not convincing enough, and said emphatically, "A very beautiful, very beautiful young man, very similar to your Highness."
Thinking of Narcissus and his reflection, Aphrodite's expression softened a little, and she even joked with Nemesis: "It can't be said that they are very similar, should they be exactly the same?"
Nemesis was stunned for a moment, but her expression did not calm down. Instead, she became more and more uneasy. She asked softly, "Does Your Highness know about the existence of that young man?"
Aphrodite looked at the change of Nemesis' expression, thought about her priesthood attributes, and said after a few seconds of silence: "Of course, does his existence have anything to do with your presence here?"
Nemesis lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Aphrodite. She whispered, "Because of a nymph... no, it's a group."
Aphrodite stared at her without speaking, keenly aware that Aphrodite's mood was getting more and more impatient, Nemesis didn't dare to dawdle any longer, and after silently mourning for the group of nymphs in his heart, he explained the matter The cause was told to Aphrodite in full.
After Aphrodite gave Narcissus to the river god couple, the river god couple responded with extreme love to their unborn child.
Because of the words of the God of Beauty, the Heshen couple also showed off their children to the surrounding nymphs.
Nymphs and fairies were very curious about the child who was called the most beautiful by the God of Beauty, but after that child was born, he was immediately hidden by the River God and his wife according to God of Beauty's prophecy.
Because the god of beauty said that Narcissus should not be allowed to see strangers, nor could he see himself, so the river god and his wife did not allow anyone to see Narcissus.
When talking to Narcissus, he never let him look into his eyes, nor allowed Narcissus to approach the river. Because they were afraid that Narcissus would see his own reflection in the eyes and in the river.
It's just that no matter how well they defended, they couldn't stop those curious Nymph fairies.
They secretly lured the river god couple away, spread flowers and vines all the way, and led the simple and ignorant Narcissus into the woods, and finally saw the peerless face of this young man who was secretly hidden by the river god couple.
His stunning face, like that of a beauty god, instantly captured the hearts of nymphs and fairies, and his pure and innocent eyes made people full of involuntary love for him.
They were so obsessed with him, they frantically rushed out of the woods, surrounded this beautiful young man, and expressed their love for him.
The first time Narcissus came out, he was surrounded by so many crazy nymphs, and his face was as pale as a sheet of fright.
He shoved the nymphs away in horror, and returned to the river god and his wife in embarrassment like fleeing from a ferocious and greedy beast.
However, the matter did not end here. After that day, the face of Narcissus was deeply engraved on the hearts of all the nymphs. They missed him day and night, and prayed to the river god couple to release Narcissus for them Talk to him to relieve the painful longing in your heart.
The River God and his wife thought that Narcissus had already met strangers, and it seemed that nothing had happened, so they stopped guarding against the Nymph Fairy and asked Narcissus for advice, asking him if he wanted to go out and play with everyone .
Narcissus lived in a dry and secret cave. When he heard his father's intention, he recalled the hideous expressions of the nymph fairies that day because they were too excited, and immediately shook his head crazily and refused, saying: "Those nymph fairies look terrible and ugly, I don't want to communicate with them."
Seeing that he was not happy, the God of the River did not force Narcissus to go out. He comforted him and left.
It's just that they didn't expect that when the river god came to look for Narcissus, a nymph fairy who admired Narcissus to the extreme would quietly follow her all the way to find him.
She originally hid in the dark and stared obsessively at Narcissus's face, but she never expected to hear Narcissus's 'disgusting' nymph's ugly words, her heart was shattered as if pierced by an ice arrow, and she went back crying all the way.
The nymph fairies who saw her crying and came back were all very strange, they surrounded her to comfort her and asked her, the nymph fairy cried and told all the nymph fairies that Narcissus despised their ugliness.
After hearing this, the Nymphs and fairies immediately became angry and vowed to take revenge on that arrogant young man.
The resentment of many nymphs is still very strong, and it is only natural that Nemesis, the goddess of nemesis, is attracted.
Seeing that Nemesis was attracted by them, the nymph fairies knelt down and begged her. They must teach that arrogant and ruthless Narcissus a harsh lesson, and let him feel the pain of their love!
Nemesis didn't curse Narcissus, but she was very interested in the beautiful boy that the nymph fairy said. She was curious about what kind of beautiful boy could attract the love and resentment of so many nymph fairies.
With such a mood in mind, Nemesis found Narcissus hiding in the cave, and then saw the stunning face that attracted the admiration of many nymphs, but only made her feel reverence and fear.
In a remote corner of God's Domain, there was a young man who had exactly the same face and figure as her lord, His Highness Aphrodite, the most honorable god on Olympus except for the king and queen!
Terrified, Nemesis immediately called for Aphrodite.
She couldn't even imagine the consequences.
If His Highness didn't know the existence of this young man, then who copied His Highness's face to blaspheme him
If His Highness knew of the existence of this young man... the group of nymphs who dared to curse the young man would not know what would happen.
But now it seems that His Highness should know the existence of Narcissus.
Feeling all kinds of obscure emotions from Aphrodite, Nemesis swore that when Aphrodite died, His Highness probably felt like this.
It seems that the ending of the group of nymphs and fairies is a bit bad. Nemesis thought quietly.
