Athena and Aphrodite talked for a long time in the temple.
After a long time, under the anxious waiting of the gods, the gloomy-faced Athena and the indifferent Aphrodite finally walked out of the Temple of Eros holding Cupid.
Athena sighed softly, her eyes full of resoluteness were filled with melancholy, and said to Aphrodite worriedly under the watchful eyes of the gods: "Your Highness, I leave it to you to welcome back the king of gods."
Aphrodite's expression was unusually indifferent, she didn't even want to maintain the gentleness on the surface, and said lightly: "I will try my best to persuade His Majesty Hades."
The worry in Athena's eyes became heavier, and Aphrodite said: "Everyone, please go back, I will make some preparations, and I will leave for the underworld later."
Hermes flew over and landed beside them, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, do you need me to help you run errands, please tell me as much as you want!"
Aphrodite said casually: "Then follow me."
Athena looked Hermes up and down, and Hermes blinked at her. Athena remained silent, watching Aphrodite take Hermes away.
Aphrodite took Hermes to Apollo's Temple of the Sun, and then invited Artemis, Ares, and Hephaestus.
The main gods were a little surprised at the purpose of Aphrodite calling them over. They looked at each other for a few seconds, then moved away tacitly, and then looked at Aphrodite together, waiting for him to speak.
Aphrodite said: "Everyone should have heard about Zeus being detained by Hades in the underworld. I'm going to the underworld for a trip. If Zeus comes back...but I don't come back,"
Aphrodite paused, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The golden light that coiled around his body converged along that hand and poured into the condensed ice surface. Narcissus' icy face appeared in the mirror. inside.
Aphrodite took a deep look at Hermes, and under the eyes of the gods, sent the gold coin rune in her palm, which is the other half of the godhead of the merchant god, into the mirror world and let Narcissus keep it That godhead.
Aphrodite said indifferently: "Narcissus may quietly return to the mountain from the mirror world. If there is anything you can discuss with him at that time. Don't easily compete with Zeus, and then, don't look for me."
Hephaestus raised his head abruptly, his chest heaved, and he couldn't help asking excitedly: "Your Highness, what do you mean? Are you going to stay in the underworld? Or... did you predict that your next visit to the underworld What might happen during the trip?"
Apollo looked at Hephaestus suspiciously, a little surprised why he made the second half of the guess.
Aphrodite stroked Cupid's soft hair, smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said lightly: "After all, the God King made a big scandal this time, and I am a little worried that he will become angry and kill me."
Hephaestus was extremely anxious, and there was a little pleading in his voice, he said: "Your Highness, I am worried about you..."
Aphrodite shook her head: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, if I don't interfere with something."
Apollo couldn't help frowning: "It means that you may still do something, and if you do it, it will be dangerous?"
Aphrodite smiled and said: "Don't ask any more questions, you just need to make sure that nothing will happen to me. I left Narcissus to you, he is my reflection, and the damage I suffer will be divided in half To him, as long as he's okay, I'm fine."
Ares looked at him with a dazed expression and murmured, "But I'm worried about you..."
Aphrodite sighed: "You can do whatever you want, but this trip to the underworld is very important to me, I must go. If something happens to me, don't panic, if I really do it If anything, then I must have made all the preparations."
He said slowly, his eyes as calm as water: "I just hope you don't do something impulsively because of me, and let Zeus find your mistakes and punish you."
"I hope when I return everyone is well as usual."
Hephaestus opened his mouth, looking at Aphrodite's eyes full of complex emotions. He had a lot of things to say, but in the end he only said, "Your Highness, can I help you with anything?"
Aphrodite opened her hand, and took out several documents that were the same as the transfer of control over the Mercury Pillar, but with a different name. He said: "I think about the ownership of those Star God Pillars, I hope you Sign the next agreement with me so that I can directly gain control of the Star God Pillar when I absorb the power of the Star God Pillar."
Several gods were very straightforward. Artemis, Apollo and Ares signed the control rights of the moon star, the sun star and Mars respectively. Hephaestus could not help because he did not have the star god pillar to which he belonged. Aphrodite's face was already a little distorted.
He looked at Aphrodite's empty Venus pillar, and said impatiently: "Your Highness, I will help you find the God Queen, and ask her to transfer the Venus pillar to you!"
Including Jupiter in Aphrodite's own hands, currently only Demeter's Jupiter pillar and Hera's Venus pillar are not in Aphrodite's grasp.
If he appeared as 'Nemesis', Aphrodite could easily obtain Venus from Hera, but in this way, he has no way to explain 'Nemesis' asking for the Venus Pillar purpose, and would expose his connection with Nemesis.
It would be best if Hephaestus would take the initiative to help. However, Aphrodite separated the priesthood of purification from the priesthood of light, and said to Hephaestus: "This is what Her Majesty the Queen of God once traded with me. Perhaps it will be easier to negotiate if you give it to the God Empress to purify the priesthood."
Hephaestus opened his mouth, but Ares hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you don't need to prepare a gift! Let me tell the Mother Goddess, the Mother Goddess will definitely give you gold stars. She has always loved me the most. Treat me like a treasure!"
Hephaestus' face was a little distorted, and Aphrodite sighed softly: "The priesthood of purification is what I agreed with the queen earlier, and it is not considered a gift. I will leave the matter of the Venus pillar to the two of you."
There was a strange light in his eyes, and he said softly: "I will always remember your dedication to me, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
Hermes smiled and said: "Your Highness, you and us are too polite~"
Aphrodite glanced at him and said to everyone: "Her Majesty Hermes' Godhead of the God of Merchant has been entrusted to Narcissus for safekeeping. If he does something like plotting against you while I am away, you can Use this to report him to Zeus."
Hermes' face froze, and his smile could hardly be maintained any longer.
Artemis glanced at him and snorted softly.
Apollo urged Hephaestus and Ares: "Your Highness is still in a hurry to go to the underworld, both of you should hurry up and finish the work on the Venus pillar, don't delay any longer."
Hephaestus and Ares nodded and left. Aphrodite saw the two of them leaving the temple, and then looked at Apollo and said, "Did you urge them to leave on purpose?"
Apollo remained silent, and approached him, leaning half on him, with his chin resting on Aphrodite's shoulder, he said softly, "Hey, raise your hand."
There was some cynical teasing in his tone, which made Aphrodite give him a sideways glance.
Aphrodite raised his hand, and Apollo also raised his hand, touching his palm with his fingers clasped tightly.
Warm and pure power is transmitted from the touching palms, giving people a unique clear taste, and the mood can't help but calm down after this power.
That is the power of 'light'.
Apollo's blue eyes stared directly at Aphrodite, and he said: "The power of the sun godhead far surpasses ordinary first-class gods, and light is close to its origin, but when I am light, I always There will be a suffocating feeling of being suppressed and out of breath. So I don’t have much regret for the power of light, so I will pass it on to you. I hope that more power will make your next trip to the underworld smoother. "
Aphrodite said softly: "Thank you."
Apollo let go of his hand and said sadly: "You are welcome, who made you care deeply about my heart?"
Aphrodite smiled softly, and Artemis showed some tangled expressions. Aphrodite glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, my accumulation of divine power is far beyond your imagination. It’s too much of a loss.”
Hermes glanced at him enviously, and the four gods silently sipped the wine. After a while, Hephaestus and Ares returned with the transfer signed by Hera.
Aphrodite put away several transfer documents and sighed: "Everyone, then I will leave."
Artemis saw Cupid in his arms, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, if you don't return to the mountain, what will Cupid do?"
Aphrodite replied softly, "I will leave him in the underworld."
Hephaestus whispered: "Your Highness, let me take care of Cupid, I will protect him well."
Aphrodite scratched Cupid's nose and said softly: "No need, this little guy is too naughty, if Zeus and the others deliberately tricked him, you might not be able to react. Let him stay in the underworld, It's my territory, neither Zeus nor Gaia can get in, and if he gets into trouble, I can help him settle it."
Aphrodite's main defense is Gaia. He doesn't believe that Gaia will give up the power of Eros. If he is not in the mountain, Cupid will be like a lamb that fell into a pack of wolves, and he will definitely be eaten alive by Gaia stripped.
Furthermore, the child Cupid is not smart.
In the memory of Venus, she once ordered him to shoot a mortal woman with a golden arrow, and then make the mortal woman fall in love with a wild beast.
In the end, this little fool actually shot a golden arrow at himself, and married that mortal girl.
Aphrodite did not object to letting Cupid grow up and marry, but all this must be done under his care.
Cupid is the only son of God, he does not allow anyone to plot to hurt him.
Aphrodite bid farewell to the gods, and Narcissus flew out of the mirror world and turned into golden light to wrap him around him, and drove the dawn chariot with him to the underworld.
On the seventh day after Zeus was hung outside the gate of the underworld, he had already regretted it.
After encountering two beautiful mortal women one after another, Zeus was very satisfied. Seeing that they were still a little bit sad after their death, he wanted to go to the underworld to see if he could get those two mortal women from Hades. The woman was brought back to the earth and continued to be tender with him.
After having such an idea, Zeus couldn't control his heartbeat. He found a chance to observe the underworld, see what Hades and the others were doing, and planned to find a way to convince them.
But just as his eyes turned to the underworld and landed on the Pluto couple who were smiling and communicating, the 'Pluto's Arrow' descended quietly. Zeus looked at the couple, and suddenly his heart moved.
He looked at the couple walking hand in hand on the Elysee Paradise with some surprise, and was surprised to find that Hades smiled so peacefully and elegantly, with a particularly charming charm.
And he and Demeter's daughter, Persephone, are no different. She is also so youthful, sweet and lovely. She is smiling, and there are two cute dimples on both sides of her cheeks. The fresh feeling rushes over her face, which makes people's heart beat.
This pair of men and women are so beautiful no matter which one they are, which makes Zeus's heart beating abnormally. Under the excitement, Zeus sneaked into the underworld, and first changed into the appearance of Hades to seduce Perse. Faune, ready to break the couple one by one and possess them.
He didn't know what happened afterwards. Zeus just felt like he was stunned by something. When he woke up, he found that his Thunder Scepter and Aquis Shield had been wiped out. Unable to exercise his rights as a god king against Hades in the underworld.
So helpless, he was caught by Hades with a fishing net in an extremely humiliating gesture, and hung on the gate of the underworld, allowing every dead soul who crossed the bridge of the underworld to be curious, contemptuous and laugh at himself.
Zeus was almost pissed off, but that wasn't the thing that broke him down the most. The thing that broke him down the most was that after Hades took possession of him and made him pregnant, he turned his back on him and advertised that he was pregnant. The child has nothing to do with him, he became pregnant after being fucked by other male gods, and deliberately came to Hades to frame him as a blame!
Zeus was very angry. After waking up from the coma, he found out that he was pregnant.
Because he had some thoughts about Hades before, his anger was not too heavy after discovering this, but the one who was a little annoyed was himself.
But since Hades is his eldest brother, one of the three kings of God's Domain, and the absolute ruler of the underworld, Zeus feels that it is not particularly unacceptable to suffer from Hades.
What made him unacceptable was that Hades actually refused to admit it after eating, did not admit that the child he was pregnant with was his, and even slandered him for being raped by other male gods.
Although Zeus did not feel any abnormality physically after waking up, he firmly believed that it was the reason Hades had dealt with him and that he had been in a coma for too long, which led to the disappearance of traces and sensations.
Zeus was sure and certain that he was absolutely not pregnant before coming to the underworld, and his pregnancy could only be caused by the gods of the underworld.
No god but Hades would have dared to do that.
The child he conceived was Hades's! No matter how Hades explained with a dark face, Zeus firmly believed in this, ignored all logic, and used various reasons to convince himself to believe this guess.
Zeus, who firmly believed in this point, saw that Hades not only turned his face and ruthlessly refused to admit it, but also hung himself up, and he was about to explode. He cursed Hades every day and asked Hades to let him down. He wanted to be at odds with him. .
Hades, who was slandered by Zeus, was so angry that he wished he could rush out and immediately swear to Styx to clarify that he really did not touch Zeus.
Aphrodite came under such circumstances. He glanced at the embarrassed Zeus without saying a word, and drove into the underworld under Zeus's shameful eyes.
After seeing him coming, Hades was going to be pissed off. Hades kept complaining to Aphrodite, saying, "Your Highness, can Zeus slander me just because I am a male god and can occupy him? I have no idea about him at all!"
"It's obvious that he is messing around outside, but he can take the responsibility for me for granted, it's shameless!"
Aphrodite was speechless and said, "I am going to cut this child out of Zeus's body and take him away."
Hades, who was furious, was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Why?"
Aphrodite said lightly: "Because this child is the son of God who is destined to overthrow Zeus in the curse of Cronus, I cannot let him be killed by Zeus."
Hades looked at Aphrodite with a face full of shock. He was not surprised by the child's life experience, but was surprised that Aphrodite did not cover up this matter at all. Even under the gaze of Zeus, the secret was revealed.
Don't you know, Your Highness, if Zeus knew the real life experience of this child, he would never allow this child to be born
Hades and Persephone raised their heads subconsciously, and as expected, Zeus stopped cursing Hades, was holding the network cable with his fingers, and stared at Aphrodite with rounded eyes, scarlet blood seeped into his eyes, He looked terrible.
Aphrodite put Cupid down, and said indifferently to Pluto and his wife: "Please make preparations, knock Zeus into a coma, and then put him down again. I will directly disembowel him and take that young god away."
Pluto and his wife raised their heads again, and Zeus had already closed his eyes and started talking, as if he was stunned.
Aphrodite asked Persephone, "Where is Your Highness Demeter? I need to find her."
Persephone was stunned and said, "The Mother Goddess is at the Shengmen. She doesn't like the breath of the underworld and feels very uncomfortable."
Aphrodite said with a smile: "Then I would like to ask the Queen of the Dead to run for me and invite Her Highness Demeter over. I want to prepare the tools for caesarean section."
Hades questioned genuinely, he asked, "Your Highness, are you serious?"
Aphrodite chuckled and asked back, "Did I ever tell a lie?"
Hades hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then... Where are you planning to disembowel Zeus, Your Highness? I'll help you move Zeus there."
Zeus gritted his teeth and roared above his head: "Hades, you bastard!"
Hades said indifferently: "If you want to blame it, it's because you took Persephone's idea. It's you who put the face of our underworld under your feet, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zeus gritted his teeth and said: "You will regret it. I have such a bad relationship with Aphrodite. Do you really think that those who are loyal to me will trust him to save me? Let me tell you, they followed Aphrodite all the way. Behind you, hiding around. I advise you to put me down quickly, I will never blame you for humiliating me, Hades!"
Aphrodite sneered, changed a bow and arrow at random, and shot at the rope hanging the fishing net, Zeus fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
Aphrodite dragged him into the underworld, and glanced coldly at the gate of the underworld, he laughed and said, "Let them enter the underworld if they can, this is the home of the underworld gods, we are not afraid. "
Zeus gritted his teeth and was dragged into the underworld by Aphrodite, and then the gate of the underworld was closed again.
The figures of Gaia, Themis, and Mnemosyne appeared on the other side of the Styx, and Mnemosyne said in a delicate tone: "Aphrodite is wearing the necklace I gave him. "
Gaia sneered and said, "Aphrodite is too arrogant. I am indeed not the god of the underworld, but he forgot that the underworld is located underground, and the underground... is also the earth."
Themis looked indifferent, and said lightly: "The top priority is to rescue the God King. As for the matter of Aphrodite and the God Son, after the God King is rescued, let's see what the God King means."
Gaia said quietly: "If what Aphrodite said is true, Zeus would never allow this child to survive."
Themis repeated: "Wait until we rescue the God King."
Gaia and Mnemoshine looked at each other, curled their lips, and there was some disdain in their eyes.
In Hades.
Aphrodite handed Zeus to Hades to deal with, while she took out a knife bag in a small and dark temple, and wiped the blade with a cloth.
Beside him, there was a narrow stone bed that could only accommodate one person.
A thick black fog spread from the ground behind him, and Tartarus pushed through the thick fog and walked out. He hugged Aphrodite's waist from behind, resting his chin on Aphrodite's shoulder, Pressing against his cheek, he murmured softly, "Didn't I tell you not to bring the gift from the goddess? You clearly know that there is a trap ahead, why do you still step into it?"
Aphrodite smiled slightly, her thick eyelashes cast large shadows to cover the emotions in his eyes, and he said melodiously, "Naturally because... the reward is greater than the danger."
Aphrodite asked: "Your Highness Tartarus, do you remember Rhea?"
Tartarus was slightly startled, subconsciously frowned, and said after a few seconds: "Of course I remember, she is the mother goddess of Zeus and the goddess of time."
Aphrodite said softly: "It took you a while to think about her, so you actually forgot her at first."
"Do you know why this happened?" Aphrodite asked, and then answered to herself: "Because the goddess of time tore away from the time she was in, looking for the time she wanted Gone, she left from this period of time and does not exist here. How could we think of an existence that has not even been recorded in time."
Tartarus looked a little ugly, Aphrodite put down the knife, and he asked with a smile: "Then do you know when Rhea was looking for it?"
After a few seconds of silence, Tartarus replied, "I don't know."
Aphrodite didn't keep her secrets, and told him straightforwardly: "She is looking for the fourth generation of god king after Zeus. She wants to find him, kill him before he is born, and then stabilize Zeus' rule."
Aphrodite tapped lightly on the stone bed beside her with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "The prophesied future god king is about to be born, and soon, this goddess will return to the present time."
Tartaros hugged Aphrodite's hand tightly, his face was gloomy, and he said indifferently: "Cronus is the god of time and space, and he can do more than her, but he is not like that." Do. Any existence that tries to control fate and time will go to perish, Rhea is looking for a dead end!"
Tartarus cursed, "Is Zeus worth it?"
Aphrodite said softly: "Before she dies, I will help you to ask her what kind of charm Zeus has that made her go crazy and even sacrifice herself."
Tartaros snorted and said: "So you are waiting for Rhea on purpose, you want her time power?"
Aphrodite snorted softly: "Who can refuse the power of time, anyway, the owner is about to change, so I naturally want to fight."
Tartarus murmured: "Aphrodite, you are too greedy, the sky, life, space and even time, everything is valuable. If you get something that doesn't belong to you, you have to pay for it of."
Aphrodite asked: "My whole, my life, if the battle fails, let me fall in the process of the battle, is this price enough?"
Tartarus let go, pulled Aphrodite and turned to look at him, his handsome face was full of complexity, he looked at Aphrodite and said softly: "You are crazy, you know What are you talking about yourself?"
Aphrodite doesn't think he is crazy, he has already prepared all the power, the sky, space, stars, life, love, water vapor, four seasons, light, and even the law, now it is only time.
Rhea delivered it to the door herself, he would be crazy if he didn't want it.
Aphrodite lightly held Tartaros' hand and said with a smile, "If you don't want to see me die, you can save me at the last moment."
Tartarus sneered: "Then if I don't save you, what about watching you die?"
Aphrodite thought for a while with a serious look, and then said regretfully: "Then I can only die."
"You...!" Tartarus was a little annoyed, he was very dissatisfied with Aphrodite's attitude of lightly talking about life and death, and glared at him angrily, without saying a word, he flung his sleeves and entered the black mist, Back to the abyss.
He didn't want to continue talking to Aphrodite!
Aphrodite smiled and watched his leaving back, and after a while, her eyes returned to indifference.
Half of Narcissus' cheek appeared on the bright blade, and the snow-white cheek almost merged with the blade, only the dark purple eyes exuded a cold light, looking at the back of Tartaros and said : "Your Highness, I will protect you, even if no one helps you."
Aphrodite covered her lips and smiled lightly, but did not answer.
