Aphrodite glanced at him, and hugged Cupid in his arms, Cupid quickly wrapped his arms around his neck, his chubby face kept rubbing against Aphrodite's cheek.
Hermes started talking to them: "Speaking of which, have your Highnesses thought about what kind of gift to give to Pandora?"
Artemis said: "The God King said that we should give her a gift that can highlight her feminine beauty, so I am going to give her a gorgeous dress."
Apollo said with a smile: "I am going to give her outstanding talent."
Hermes looked at Aphrodite and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, what about you?"
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows lightly, and lifted her bright and soft silver hair casually: "I want to give her a beauty that no one can refuse."
Hermes twitched his Adam's apple and said with a fake smile: "In this case, everyone will be reluctant to give Pandora to humans."
Aphrodite sneered: "Let's keep it, anyway, the existence of Pandora is not a good thing for human beings, is it?"
Hermes sneered, and his eyes fell on Narcissus in the mirror.
Narcissus' eyes were very dark, and the emotion in his eyes was also very dark. He glanced at Hermes indifferently, and a golden streamer of fine flashes flew out from the mirror and surrounded Aphrodite. His face also shattered as he left.
Hermes asked curiously, "Your Highness, why doesn't the god of mirror images appear by your side?"
Aphrodite raised his hand, and streamers danced on his fingertips. He said, "Since it is a mirror image, he and I are naturally the only one who can exist in reality."
Hermes' eyes flickered slightly: "Then... aren't you afraid that he will try to replace you?"
As soon as his words fell, a cold breath suddenly descended, and the surrounding gods felt it.
The golden light diffused suddenly, forming a sharp golden sword aimed at Hermes' throat, and Aphrodite said with a half-smile: "Your Highness Hermes, although Narcissus cannot be condensed into reality , but this does not change the essence of him being a god, so don't provoke him easily."
Hermes blinked innocently, and smiled wryly: "I just said it casually before, Your Highness, this new god is too serious."
Aphrodite glanced at him, and Cupid huddled in his arms uncomfortably, and couldn't help asking: "Father God, why don't we go pick up golden arrows..."
Aphrodite avoided his wings and patted him on the back lightly, and asked lightly, "Why, are you scared?"
Cupid whispered, "Cupid is afraid that Father God will be angry."
Aphrodite shook her head and said, "Compared to me getting angry, you should worry more about whether someone will use the golden arrow on me."
Cupid panicked and said, "Father, you are the god in charge of love. Could it be that you are also affected by the golden arrow?"
Aphrodite was noncommittal: "Who knows, after all, I don't know how to stab me with a golden arrow."
Cupid was in a hurry now, and kept looking back, wanting to go back and look for the golden arrow.
Aphrodite patted him on the back, deliberately squinted at Hermes, and said to Cupid: "It's too late to look back now, and those who are interested may have already picked up all your arrows. Think about how many unused golden arrows I dropped."
Cupid bit his finger and said in frustration: "Good Father God, I will try to think about it."
Hermes smiled and said, "Your Highness Cupid is a master archer who hits every shot with every shot, and the number of misses should be very few."
Aphrodite's eyes flickered slightly. What he meant was that he didn't pick up too many golden arrows
Maybe, but Aphrodite wasn't sure how much he was talking about, one or two was just a little, and five or six didn't seem like much.
The gods returned to Mount Olympus, and the hunt ended without a problem.
Cupid bit his finger and thought about it for a long time, and whispered to Aphrodite before entering the palace of the god king, "Father God, if you don't include the golden arrow you picked up, it seems that two of them missed."
Aphrodite looked at Cupid in surprise: "Are there only two?"
Cupid was a little proud and puffed out his chest: "I am a perfect archer with a hundred shots..."
Apollo couldn't understand the kid's complacent appearance, so he interjected, "If an arrow misses, it can't be regarded as a hundred shots..."
Cupid blushed instantly, grinned at him, and was tapped lightly on the head by Aphrodite.
Aphrodite said lightly: "Cupid..."
Cupid softened cowardly, hugged Aphrodite and said coquettishly, "Father God, are you not angry?"
Aphrodite rubbed his ears and said nothing.
It wasn't until he entered the palace of the god king, sat down on his own throne, and used his divine power to block others from prying eyes, that he said to Cupid, "Cupid, the reason why I didn't care who you shot the golden arrow at was because of your priesthood. The reason is that your priesthood is blind but messy. I respect your priesthood and give you plenty of freedom. But you can’t condense the golden arrow into a shape, because someone with a heart will steal your divine arrow and use it That blind love is to confuse and use others. Your priesthood will be changed under the influence of this kind of behavior, and others are more likely to take the opportunity to eat away at your power and control you. You must not make any omissions and let others take advantage An empty chance, understand?"
Cupid nodded quickly, almost swearing at the Styx River. He also made an oath to express his determination, but Helios made a mistake first, and he made a quick mouth before, and Aphrodite ordered him to stop him, and he could not make any oaths to the oath river.
But Cupid still had some doubts, he asked blankly: "Father God, can my godhead be stolen by others?"
Aphrodite smiled, why not
From the very beginning, he used the confusion godhead to draw out the clever trick godhead. The fall of Metis made him directly obtain the godhead of wisdom, but if she hadn't fallen, Aphrodite would also use the godhead of strategy to expand and enhance her influence on the intelligent side little by little, making herself an important god on the intelligent side .
Since he can seize the godhead on the intelligence side, other people can naturally also seize the godhead on the love side. Those who pick up the golden arrow use the power of the golden arrow to create love for themselves or others, and use the dedication and obedience of love to benefit themselves or achieve their goals.
In such cases, love becomes a tool. One or two times this kind of situation can be regarded as Cupid's mistake. If there are too many times, Cupid's priesthood will definitely usher in a downgrade.
Aphrodite would never allow this to happen.
After listening to Aphrodite's narration, Cupid was a little frightened, and he and Aphrodite promised: "Father God, I will definitely not mess around again in the future, and give people a chance to take advantage of me!"
Aphrodite snorted softly, and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "Good boy."
Cupid leaned in his arms, still a little worried: "Father God, will my lost golden arrow be picked up and hurt you?"
Aphrodite was also thinking about this question. The golden light transformed by Narcissus touched his fingertips. At this moment, their hearts were connected. Narcissus told him: "Your Highness, I am willing to be your shield and armor, Block all attacks from the outside world for you."
Aphrodite's eyes moved slightly, and he held his hand gently, as if holding the light: "Under the influence of the golden arrow, an uncontrollable infatuation will grow in your heart."
"Whether there is a golden arrow or not, I will be obsessed with and love you for no reason. I have love myself. Even if I get the golden arrow, it will only make my love crazier. It doesn't have as much influence on you, Your Highness."
"This is also my selfishness. After all, when the golden arrow hits you, you shouldn't be looking in the mirror. The despicable guy who stole the golden arrow must also want you to fall in love with him. Such a despicable guy is completely unworthy." you!"
Aphrodite smiled, and said seriously: "The threat from the golden arrow, please bear it for me."
The golden light diffused and surrounded Aphrodite, making Aphrodite seem to be plated with gold. From the ends of her hair to the perfectly shaped ankles, there were fine pieces of golden light shining, Delicate and gorgeous and dazzling.
The Pandora clay figure was brought to the temple, and Hermes lifted the red cloth covering it.
Seeing this, Aphrodite also removed the barrier of divine power, clapped her hands lightly, and drew the eyes of the gods away from Pandora.
Aphrodite said calmly: "Before the meeting, I have an unfortunate thing to tell you. Not long ago, Cupid was stolen by unknown people with three golden arrows that can make all gods fall into crazy love. The current whereabouts are unknown, everyone should be careful of attacks from unknown weapons until all three golden arrows are found."
Zeus's eyes flickered slightly, and he said deliberately: "Aphrodite, are you sure that Cupid's golden arrow was stolen by someone, not by him accidentally losing it?"
Aphrodite frowned slightly, and then, with a look of panic and shock, he hurriedly said, "God King, why do you say that..."
Zeus glanced at Cupid and said with a sneer, "It's a coincidence, because I saw this young and naughty god doing evil in the forest with a golden arrow and shooting everywhere. It wasn't that the golden arrow was stolen, but that he He shot indiscriminately and dropped a few."
Aphrodite looked at him steadfastly, and Zeus raised his eyebrows at him proudly. He lowered his eyes and asked softly, "It's so unfortunate that you saw the whole process?"
Zeus sneered, "Yes."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you should have seen the whereabouts of the golden arrows. Do you know who picked them up?"
Zeus was taken aback, and said vaguely, "My eyes have been following Cupid, and I haven't looked back."
Aphrodite frowned and said, "Then when I'm going to take Cupid back to find the golden arrow, why do you insist on Hermes stopping me? Since your eyes are always on Cupid, you should have heard me lecture Cupid." words, and the consequences of losing the golden arrow, but you still choose to stop me. Could it be that the loss of the golden arrow has something to do with you?"
Zeus reprimanded with a black face: "Enough, Aphrodite! The loss of the golden arrow is the fault of you and Cupid. You should reflect on why you didn't control Cupid well, instead of blaming me for the loss of the golden arrow." body."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "You misunderstood. The loss of the golden arrow was indeed Cupid's fault. I do not deny this, and I will punish him."
Cupid lowered his head obediently, as if he would never fight back if he was beaten or punished.
"but-"
Aphrodite changed the subject suddenly, and said coldly: "The subsequent influence of the golden arrow on the gods is not related to Cupid. After all, after discovering that the golden arrow was lost, I planned to take Cupid to find the lost one." The golden arrow, but was stopped by you, the king of gods."
"It's fine if you don't know the consequences of losing the golden arrow, but you still choose to stop me after listening to my reprimanding Cupid. I have to doubt your intentions. I believe the gods feel the same way." yes, right?"
After Aphrodite glanced at the main god and the gods below, thinking of the grievances between Aphrodite and Zeus, the gods really showed hesitation.
Aphrodite smiled disdainfully: "Cupid and I originally wanted to take responsibility for and make up for our mistakes, but now we find that what you did was not completely right. If any god is accidentally tricked in the future, it will be up to you at that time." That god's own will, is it my fault or yours?"
Zeus said angrily: "I didn't stop you because I didn't want you to look for the golden arrow. It's because Pandora has been controlled. I told you to come here to deal with human affairs!"
Aphrodite sneered: "So what if human affairs are delayed, is it as important as the golden arrow affecting the gods? In your eyes, which one is more important?"
Zeus said angrily: "Human beings disrespect the gods and disrespect the gods. Do you think this matter is not important?"
Aphrodite refused to give an inch: "I just said that the punishment of human beings should be moved back, and I didn't say that I would not punish human beings. But if I didn't look for the golden arrow then, I might not be able to find it now!"
"So what if you went looking for it at that time, do you think you can find it if you go looking for it?" Zeus sneered.
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "I haven't looked for it yet, how do you know that I will definitely not find the fallen golden arrow? Or, you actually lied before, you saw The golden arrow was picked up?"
Zeus froze, and Athena couldn't help standing up and interrupting the quarrel between the two: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Aphrodite, please stop arguing, it is very easy to determine whether the golden arrow is lost, why don't we take a look at the woods?" Do you understand?"
Aphrodite said indifferently: "Then what if the golden arrow has been lost? How can I be sure whether the golden arrow was picked up before, or after I was stopped by His Royal Highness Hermes?"
Aphrodite said deliberately: "This determines whether the subsequent impact of the Golden Arrow will be traced back to me or His Majesty."
Athena glanced at Zeus: "This... I don't think you two need to worry about this. I think the affected gods probably won't dare to question you two and demand compensation."
The gods, who were a little frightened by the quarrel between the two great gods, nodded quickly, thinking to themselves, why both of them have to be separated into right and wrong? Even if some unlucky ghost has been tricked, don't they really dare to come and ask you to make up for it...
Zeus had a stinky face and didn't speak, he was very annoyed. He originally wanted to see Aphrodite's jokes, but who knew that he was caught in the wrong place and started to crazily bite...
Zeus was very angry, but Aphrodite just wanted to sneer. He obviously picked up the golden arrow. If it wasn't for the lack of evidence, he would have started questioning Zeus directly, so why would he be given a chance to be wronged.
Seeing that the quarrel between the two great gods subsided a bit, Hermes hurriedly said: "The loss of the golden arrow is something that everyone doesn't want, but since it has already happened, let it be. The most urgent thing is to deal with human affairs first."
Zeus nodded with a stiff face, and Hermes stood beside Pandora, and hurriedly said loudly: "Next, please ask the main gods to bless this beautiful woman who is about to enter the human world!"
Hermes exhaled lightly towards her, and the fine golden phosphorescent light shone on Pandora's body and merged into her body: "I bestowed Pandora with excellent and convincing eloquence!"
Oh, convinced? It's simply that the deceitful people can't tell the truth from the lies!
The gods quietly rolled their eyes at the deceitful Lord God.
Athena said: "I give her the dexterous workmanship."
Apollo: "I gave her outstanding talent."
Artemis: "I will give her a beautiful dress."
Hephaestus: "I send her a ray of perennial fire that no human being can refuse, but be careful, the flame will go out when it meets water."
Ares: "I'll give her a jewel necklace."
Hestia: "I gift her excellent cooking skills."
Poseidon wondered: "I also gave her a pearl necklace, which I exchanged with Ares's."
Hera said coldly: "I will give her youth."
Aphrodite said softly: "I give her irresistible beauty."
Demeter was full of resentment, and said lightly: "I have no gift for her."
Zeus ignored her and took out a magic box that could seal everything.
Hermes took the magic box from him and walked past the gods one by one.
Zeus said: "In the magic box, the punishment of the gods for disrespect to humans will be sealed."
The gods asked: "How does the king of gods want to punish these humans?"
Zeus said lightly: "Let them go extinct, and just leave a pair of male and female to reproduce."
It may be that it is not good to do this kind of thing. The gods did not say what they gave this time, and silently put their power into the magic box, and it was over.
When Hermes walked up to Aphrodite, Aphrodite saw that the box was already filled with many muddy and dark things, such as floods, hunger, plagues, diseases, quarrels, chaos, etc...
Aphrodite pondered: "Prometheus is not a fool, he will not let humans accept Pandora."
Zeston laughed immediately, and he said proudly: "Prometheus, Aphrodite, you may not know that after the human fire was taken away by us, the group of human beings will soon be unable to hold it. Prometheus had no choice but to help them steal the fire from the mountain of God. In the end, we got the stolen fire and we caught it on the spot.”
"In order to punish this daring god, I locked him on the Caucasus Mountain, and let him suffer from the wind and rain, and the eagle eating his liver."
Aphrodite paused, and asked, "Did you capture him on the spot? Did Prometheus steal the fire?"
Zeus avoided answering, and said coldly, "Do you doubt what I said?"
Aphrodite said lightly: "Can't you doubt it? Anyway, it's not the first time. Are you still not used to it?"
Zeus choked, and Aphrodite put the power he bestowed into the magic box, hope.
The gleaming hope was dazzling in the turbid darkness. When Hermes came to Zeus with the magic box that had collected the power and showed it to him, Zeus immediately said angrily, "Who put this hope on?" Go in!"
Aphrodite said leisurely: "Didn't you say that you want to leave a pair of men and women for human beings? That being the case, I put down a hope for them. Is there anything wrong?"
Zeus looked at him with a dark face, it is right to let go of hope, but this kind of good deed should be done by him, the king of gods, why are you Aphrodite stealing the limelight
Zeus angrily poked the hope down, letting it sink to the bottom of the magic box, completely covered by all the dark forces.
Then he closed the magic box, waved the scepter and said to Pandora: "I give her the curiosity to go to everything!"
The power of the gods gathered together and poured into Pandora's body. After the light disappeared, the clay puppet shed its clay body and turned into a stunning woman, Pandora, who is beautiful, passionate and eternally youthful.
The gods don't endow people with the power of the soul, but Pandora is not an ordinary human being, and her inner being is completely different from human beings.
After being blessed by the gods, Pandora has golden hair, sea-blue eyes as clear as the ocean, his skin is as white as snow, he wears gorgeous jewels, and his clothes are exquisite and smart, and his beauty is not inferior to others. goddess.
Subconsciously, the eyes of many male gods lit up.
Hermes took her to the human world.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Demeter asked with a stiff face: "After the old humans perish, can I build a temple among the new humans?"
She threatened: "Humans have changed a batch. If you don't give me a temple among humans, I will dry up all the crops. Humans can either live by hunting or choose to starve to death!"
"The belief that I can't get, you don't even want to get it!"
Zeus rolled his eyes at her angrily: "I didn't say I won't build a temple for you, what are you in a hurry for?"
Demeter's face softened a little.
Zeus was annoyed by Aphrodite and Demeter one after another, and the more he thought about it, the more blocked he became, thinking that he must find a way to make them feel equally uncomfortable!
Zeus first glanced at the goddess standing beside Demeter, Persephone, this is his daughter with Demeter, Demeter regards her as a treasure and life, which male god usually has a relationship with her? One more word from her can make Demeter fly into a rage and fly into a rage.
Except for Aphrodite.
Afterwards, his eyes fell on the main twin gods whose relationship with Aphrodite had been improving by leaps and bounds since he was named the sun and moon god.
He stared at Artemis for a few seconds, thinking of the golden arrow he ordered Hermes to pick up, and had an idea in his mind.
Oh, don't you two have a good relationship with Aphrodite? Artemis, don't you also admire Aphrodite? If so, I will let you taste the taste of love.
I want to see, when this virgin goddess who swore to the river of oath falls in love with someone under the influence of the golden arrow and wants to dedicate herself to him, so after breaking the oath, can you brothers and sisters still respect him as before? !
