Aphrodite left the dark abyss and entered the temple of the abyss.
Tartarus was sitting on the throne, with a little Cupid sitting in his arms. Cupid was tugging at his collar curiously, holding a golden arrow in his hand. The golden arrow was not on the golden bow, but the arrowhead The power is still valid.
He dangled the golden arrow in front of Tartarus, and if he was not careful, the golden arrow might scratch Tartarus.
After seeing this scene, the calm and relaxed Aphrodite suddenly changed her face, lost her composure, strode forward, lifted Cupid from Tartarus' arms, and snatched his cupid at the same time. golden arrow.
Seeing him coming out, Tartarus raised his brows and eyes slightly, and bent down first. He looked at Aphrodite happily, but his expression changed suddenly after seeing him.
He frowned deeply, and there was a trace of anxiety and restlessness between his brows and eyes, and asked: "Aphrodite, what did you do to Iapetus?"
Aphrodite caught the change in his expression in her eyes, her eyes flickered slightly, and she avoided answering, and asked, "Cupid, didn't Father God tell you not to point golden arrows at others indiscriminately? If you are not careful What if you scratch His Highness Tartarus?"
Cupid looked at him innocently, his small white wings fluttered slightly, and he opened his watery eyes and said delicately: "Father God, you only said that you can't point the golden arrow at you and me, but you didn't say that you can point the golden arrow at others indiscriminately." ah."
At the end of Aphrodite's words, Tartarus's face has returned to calm. He glanced at Aphrodite with a half-smile and said, "When you entered the abyss, you seemed to have forgotten Cupid. I just contacted Ha Diss, let him send Cupid."
Aphrodite was slightly startled, then chuckled: "Cupid is too quiet, I couldn't help but ignore him..."
"Father God!" Unexpectedly, Father God actually stomped Cupid, whom he had forgotten, in a hurry, broke free from Aphrodite's grasp, and threw himself into his arms, lightly Hitting Aphrodite's shoulder was as hard as hitting his shoulder.
Aphrodite pinched his little nose: "Your Highness is not someone else, and you can't point him at him."
Tartarus leaned back a little, sitting with his legs crossed, his posture was a little careless, he lightly tapped the armrest and said with a smile: "Can you point the golden arrow at me, or if the golden arrow hits me, I see you can't control yourself and lose your composure?"
Aphrodite gave him a cold look, then suddenly smiled, and said with a lazy smile: "What is there to be afraid of, you are a primitive god, what effect can Cupid's golden arrow have on you?"
Tartarus froze for a moment, with a trace of frustration in his eyes, he sat back silently: "I forgot... he is Cupid, not Eros."
Aphrodite smiled slightly, hugged Cupid and sat down beside him.
Tartarus suddenly said again: "If I knew that you went to see Iapetus to deprive him of his godhood, I would definitely not let you in."
Aphrodite asked lightly: "Why?"
Tartarus frowned, his eyes were a little dazed, and after a while, he said: "Aphrodite, you are acting too aggressively..."
Standing on Aphrodite's lap, Cupid couldn't help looking at him. Thinking of Cupid's birth, he had traveled many times for Aphrodite. It also gradually stretched out.
Aphrodite said at this time: "I have to be radical, Your Highness. Unless I can deprive Zeus of the position of God King, do you think I can do this as the master?"
The gentleness that emerged from Tartarus immediately dissipated, and he said decisively: "You can't do it, you are only a temporary ruler, you can deal with other gods, but these gods definitely do not include the god king and queen. "
Tartarus warned him: "It is okay to deal with those ordinary gods, but even if you are the master, it is impossible to abolish the primitive gods, god kings, queens, and main gods. These gods are the real controllers of the gods. With the power to communicate the origin of the world, the difference is that the law does not necessarily ignore them."
"But it is not an easy matter. If it is that simple to abolish them, then Zeus must have abolished you very early, and will not wait until now. What's more, Aphrodite, although you In name, you are the master of the gods, but you are not necessarily stronger than Zeus."
Aphrodite narrowed his eyes slightly, and Tartarus suddenly coughed lightly, and pressed his fist to his lips, and a mosquito-like voice came out from between his fingers, and he said: "Your strength has increased because ice and snow covered the world. , the godhead of the winter god has become the main source of God's Domain, which is why your strength has greatly increased. And your handling of Helios is the right of the main god... "
"Aphrodite, the master of ice is actually just a symbolic statement, which means that this era is dominated by ice. When the law was announced to the gods, I probably didn't expect that you would really regard yourself as the master of the gods, and even more so. Unexpectedly, neither Zeus nor the main gods questioned your understanding..."
Aphrodite froze, and looked at Tartaros in surprise. His usual calm face was a little chapped. He opened his eyes wide and his light pink lips trembled. After a while, he returned to his normal appearance and asked softly. Said: "Is this true?"
Tartarus looked at the obsidian-paved ground, but said nothing.
Aphrodite clicked her tongue lightly, and after regaining her composure, she suddenly laughed. He didn't feel flustered by this misunderstanding, but instead found it interesting and proud: "If Zeus finds out, he'll probably die of anger."
Tartarus curled his lips lightly, seeming to disdain Zeus. But he is emotionally restrained, if it is not someone with particularly sharp eyes, he would not be able to see this subtle change in his expression at all.
The corners of Aphrodite's lips twitched slightly, and she glanced at Tartarus lightly.
After thinking about it, the smile in his light purple eyes faded again: "In this case, I have to end the Ice Age earlier, lest Zeus react."
Tartarus nodded, and was about to say something, but Aphrodite changed the subject, and her eyes suddenly sharpened: "But the end of the Ice Age does not mean that I will be safe. The dominance has fallen', and Zeus has become a justifiable god-king again. Based on what I know about Zeus, he must be thinking about the fact that I slapped him in the face during the Ice Age, and he will definitely find a way to take revenge on me. So, in Before the Ice Age passes, I must do my best to raise my status again, to ensure that after I am no longer the 'master', Zeus will not be able to humiliate me."
Tartarus reacted quickly, and immediately asked: "Is this the reason why you deprived Iapetos of the soul and godhood? Because you want to strengthen your own strength?"
Aphrodite nodded lightly, and said calmly: "I like to plan for a rainy day, and I am also greedy for power. When I didn't know the truth about my title of 'Master' before, I must seize the opportunity to profit for myself. It's just..."
A strange look appeared in Aphrodite's eyes: "Actually, it's no wonder that Zeus misunderstood, because if you hadn't reminded me, Your Highness Tartarus, I have always believed in the fact that I am the 'lord of the gods'." .After all, I have done a lot of things with this name during this time, and many things have surpassed... ”
For example, to deal with the three brothers and sisters of Helios, to put one's own throne above the god king and queen, etc...
"But the law didn't say anything." Aphrodite was thoughtful: "Is it unconscious, or is it simply making mistakes, or... is it deliberately concealing it for me?"
Aphrodite felt that the second one was the most likely, but Tartarus murmured, "Maybe I didn't remind the gods on purpose, lest you lose your prestige."
Aphrodite sighed slightly, and looked at Tartarus with a puzzled expression, but Tartarus closed his mouth tightly, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
Aphrodite thought for a while, and said: "Since the misunderstanding has been caused, it is better to make a mistake. Your Highness Tartarus, I discussed with Hades about the transformation of Hades. Build a bridge, but there is corrosive power in the river Styx, so the bridge must be built high, and Hades and I may not have enough strength, so I ask for your help."
Tartarus considered it for a while, and replied: "Yes, this is a matter of the underworld, and it should be done by the gods of the underworld."
Aphrodite smiled slightly, although her expression was shallow, she was still stunning.
Aphrodite pondered: "There is one more thing. There are too few gods in the underworld. Does Your Highness have any suggestions?"
Tartarus glanced at him inexplicably, shook his head and said, "I have no suggestion, you can ask Hades, he is Hades."
As he said that, with his hands behind his back, he felt like he didn't care about anything.
A smile flashed across Aphrodite's eyes, and she stood up holding Cupid: "Then let me ask Hades for his opinion, Your Highness, shall we go up together?"
Tartarus responded lightly and opened the passage to Hades. Aphrodite entered it with him. When he was covered by darkness again, he had already used the priesthood of light.
Tartarus turned his head to look at the people beside him. He focused his eyebrows and eyes on the front, holding a cute and immature young god in his arms. A hazy and clear halo seemed to emerge from his skin, with a kind of radiance. The jade-like beauty added a bit of sacred beauty to this already extremely beautiful god. The cold brows made people yearn for and shocked, but they couldn't give birth to a blasphemous heart.
Tartarus followed him almost unconsciously, his eyes were not fascinated, but dazed.
It wasn't until he was led out of the passage by Aphrodite, and the red moonlight over Hades hit his face, that Tartarus gradually regained his senses.
He recalled his behavior just now, his face flushed immediately, especially on his slightly pale cheeks, as if he was extremely ashamed.
He opened his lips awkwardly, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Let's go find Hades."
Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief, and Tartarus stared at him all the way. Aphrodite was not a wooden person, so she felt uncomfortable being stared at by him.
Hades was still sitting in the Elysee Paradise waiting for Aphrodite to come back. He didn't notice Cupid's disappearance, and thought that Cupid ran out with Thanatos and the others when he got off the carriage.
When Aphrodite hugged Cupid, opened the door of the temple and walked in side by side with Tartarus, the light of the dark moon shone on their backs, as if they had passed a layer of light, Hades was in a trance for a moment.
Aphrodite walked in quickly and asked, "Hades, is there a palace dedicated to discussing matters? Call all the gods of the underworld."
Hades woke up immediately, and asked excitedly, "Your Highness, are you going to transform Hades?"
Aphrodite nodded with a smile, pointed to Tartarus, and said, "The God of the Abyss knew our plan and came here to help me build the Bridge of Death."
Hades quickly looked towards Tartarus, and then crashed into the dark eyes of the Abyss God.
Thinking of the 'bad things' that he had said about Aphrodite before, Hades felt uncomfortable for a moment.
He stood up, rectified his appearance, and restored his calm and steady appearance, and said to Aphrodite and the others: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and summon the gods of the underworld."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out quickly.
Aphrodite looked at him hesitantly, thinking to herself, just summon the gods to use it, don't need to go there by herself...
Aphrodite shook his head, he didn't know what to say to Tartarus for the time being, so he simply cared about Cupid.
"Cupid, can you feel how much of the power of Eros that Gaia gave you before is still in your body?"
Aphrodite could feel a force constantly pouring into his icy world, and that force moved at a very balanced and gentle speed, making Aphrodite's power rise steadily, but Aphrodite wasn't sure how much power Cupid had left.
Cupid tilted his head, felt it carefully, and said, "There are many more."
Aphrodite was a little surprised, and asked, "How many are there? Compared with the power you swallowed at the beginning, how much less?"
Cupid couldn't help biting his finger, showing a look of distress. He opened his chubby little hand, scratched his finger on that open little hand, and then gestured: "It seems to be as big as a slap." , now seems to have lost a finger."
Cupid described it as a mess, but Aphrodite already got the information she wanted. For example, the power absorbed by the world of extreme ice is only a large part of the power of Eros, and the power of Eros still has a huge amount. strength.
Aphrodite didn't say a word, but she was very surprised in her heart. Firstly, she was surprised that Gaia actually gave Cupid the power of Eros. He thought Gaia would save a hand for him.
The second is surprise, the power of the original god is huge.
Aphrodite couldn't help asking: "Are the primitive gods so powerful?"
Tartarus said: "The primordial gods are the origin of the original world, and we each account for one-fifth of the power of the gods."
One-fifth of the power of God's Domain.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes: "That Gaia..."
Tartarus said calmly: "She has given birth to too many gods, and her power has been divided to the point of thinning."
Aphrodite sighed softly and asked, "If I absorb all the power of Eros, will I also become a primitive god?"
Tartarus smiled and said: "Yes, but that is actually not something to look forward to. When you become a primitive god, you will find that you have entered a bottleneck and cannot break through, but you cannot return to the past. You Out of tune with the gods, they are like toddlers to you, no joy at all."
Aphrodite asked: "Bottleneck? No way to go up?"
Thoughtful, he asked, "Then why don't you try to create the world?"
Tartarus was speechless, and after a while he said: "Creating the world is not that simple. Our power attribute is too single, and it is impossible to create the world at all."
Aphrodite frowned slightly: "Then, haven't you thought about depriving other gods of their divinity to expand their power?"
Tartarus frowned, and he murmured softly: "Why did you say such a serious matter so lightly..."
Tartarus shook his head and sighed: "It's useless, our single attribute is too strong, and different powers will be assimilated by the conversion of godheads when they are first absorbed."
Aphrodite asked: "If I absorb the power of Eros, will it be the same?"
Tartarus paused, and said with a subtle expression: "... not necessarily."
Aphrodite became a little interested: "What do you mean?"
Tartarus cleared his throat and said: "Because you have been collecting other powers while absorbing the power of Eros, the sky, wisdom, winter god, ice and soul, these are very powerful sources Godhead. If these powers can compete with the power of the original god when you are promoted to the original god, they will not be assimilated."
Aphrodite's eyes lit up, and she reminded, "There are still those titan godheads in the abyss."
Tartarus suddenly laughed, and said softly: "Except for you, probably no one would collect so many godheads and different powers."
Aphrodite didn't hear his words and fell into deep thought.
Tartarus looked at him uncertainly, thinking that Aphrodite looks so serious, is he really going to create the world
Hades came with the gods of the underworld, the same ones, but this time there was an extra Charon.
Aphrodite recovered from her thoughts, and when she saw Hades and the others coming, she bowed slightly in salute, and then they left the Elysee together, and went to the palace located between it and the abyss, where the gods sat at a round table sit down.
Hades first introduced to the gods the Hades reconstruction plan he had discussed with Aphrodite in a gentle voice. Before he could say anything more specific, Charon was so excited that he opposed it.
"No, no!"
Hades frowned, and looked at Charon coldly. Charon's exaggerated expression paused, and then withered, he said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, your transformation can indeed make more dead souls enter the Hades. Among them, it can also release those resident souls to avoid the crowding of the underworld."
"This idea is very good, but, but, we don't have enough gods in the underworld!"
Hades took a deep breath, then sighed heavily, his originally excited eyes dimmed, and he leaned weakly on the seat, heartbroken by Charon's soul questioning.
Even if he has a good way, it doesn't matter, his manpower is not enough to expand!
Charon felt a little guilty looking at Hades' uncomfortable appearance, but when he thought that he would no longer be able to collect gold coins while extraditing the dead souls across the river, and would have to stand there and feed the dead souls with water from the Rete Spring repeatedly every day, he felt a little guilty. There was a crash.
What does His Majesty think, I am the God of Crossing! I can't do anything but rock the boat!
Aphrodite also saw Hades' depressed appearance, and asked with a smile, "Hades, haven't you thought about clarifying your own godhood and creating some gods?"
Hades asked humbly, "What should I do?"
Aphrodite: "How many godheads do you have?"
Hades smiled: "I have the godhead of Pluto, as well as the godhead of plague and the god of wealth!"
Aphrodite was slightly startled, God of Wealth
Tartarus explained: "There are many treasures buried deep in the earth, and Hades inherited these treasures after inheriting Hades."
Aphrodite was a little shocked. How many treasures are there in the underworld, which can make Hades the God of Wealth? ! You must know that among the gods, especially those powerful ones, none of them are poor.
Aphrodite was surprised, but wealth didn't mean much to the gods, especially the main god, so he quickly returned to normal.
Aphrodite pondered: "Then you strip the plague godhead and let it evolve into a new god on its own."
Hades said regretfully: "But I don't have many types of godheads, and I can only create a few at most. The underworld is so big, and there are so many dead souls. I hope there will be more gods, so that everyone can have one in the end." Time for a rotation break."
Charon quickly nodded in agreement, and vaguely mentioned his own opinion: "And me, and me, I think it's not appropriate for me to do the job of pouring water for ghosts as a god of crossing..."
Aphrodite ignored him, looked at Hades and hesitated to speak.
Hades moved in his heart and asked: "Master, do you have any good ideas, please help me."
Aphrodite said: "I have many types of godheads, and there are still several original godheads that have not been differentiated. If you need, I can create a godhead for you. With my godhead type, I can probably evolve many godheads. .”
Hades' eyes lit up, and Aphrodite wondered: "Just in this way, the Hades are all my gods, do you mind their origins?"
Hades said: "I don't care, I don't care! It's just that if you really plan to leave them all in the underworld, I will order a special book to record them all and make them the real gods of the underworld. In the future But I can't get away from it..."
After thinking for a while, Hades said again: "I can still make you the king of the underworld. Although you don't have a godhead, you are equal to me. Besides me, you are the second master of the underworld!"
Aphrodite frowned and said with a smile: "Is this okay, will the King of God have any opinion on this?"
Hades raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I am the king of the underworld, what does the affairs of the underworld have to do with him?"
Aphrodite immediately made a decision, and happily said: "Then it's settled, I'll go and create gods later!"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Your Majesty Pluto, don't worry, I'm not the kind of god who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Since I hand over all the gods to the underworld, they must obey your orders as long as they don't harm me." transfer, and I will not fight with you for power."
Hades smiled and said, "It's okay, I trust you." Even if I don't trust you, I still believe in my Pluto godhead.
Aphrodite smiled and was in a good mood.
It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to completely subdue those unconquered godheads such as the sky, and the evolved godheads also have a place to go, and by the way, he also occupied the underworld and became the king of the underworld.
