Not all gods are watching the farce between Zeus and Semele, such as Hephaestus, Apollo, Ares, etc. quietly gathered in a hidden temple.
This temple was hidden under the Temple of Vulcan, and was sealed by Hephaestus with a magic circle. Zeus and others had no idea that there was such a hidden place under his temple.
Hephaestus, Apollo, Ares and Artemis gathered here. There were no lights in the temple, and the only thing that could emit light was the transparent blue crystal mirror standing in the center of the temple.
Narcissus, with fluttering white hair, folded his arms and lowered his eyes, appearing in silence.
Hephaestus clenched his fists, his eyes were sharp and cold, he stared at the god in the mirror, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked: "Narcissus, let me ask you, where is His Highness? Are you his?" half of his body, don't you know his whereabouts at all?"
Narcissus opened his eyes sadly, and said in a low voice: "How do you know? So what if you don't know? Your Highness doesn't want to return to the Mount of God in an incomplete state. Forgotten memories and limited information will affect his judgment on the situation. "
Ariston, who was holding the spear, suddenly exploded: "Your Highness, has he lost his memory? You actually left His Highness in a state of amnesia, and came back alone?"
Narcissus pursed his lower lip, and said in a low voice, "It's not His Highness who is a god."
Apollo and Artemis frowned together, feeling a little bad in their hearts: "Who is Your Highness with?"
Ares's eyes flickered, and the emotions in his eyes were indistinguishable. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who does Your Highness like?"
Narcissus said in a trance: "Maybe..."
Ares stood up abruptly, and the spear standing beside him suddenly shattered and condensed in his palm. Ares pointed it at the mirror, and he shouted angrily: "Tell me, who is that guy, I'm going to kill him now!"
Hephaestus and the others looked at Ares in surprise. When they heard those words from Narcissus, their emotions were very complicated and entangled, but they could barely maintain their calm.
But I didn't expect Ares, who had always been very obedient, to suddenly jump up in anger, and directly shouted and killed.
Narcissus looked at him wearily, and said impatiently: "Your Highness just lost his memory, not his mind. He must have his own reasons for what he wants to do, and it's not our turn to care."
Ares raised the corner of his lips, gave him a disdainful and contemptuous smile, and said indifferently: "You can't control it, but I can." A strange light flashed in Ares's eyes, remembering that His Highness once told him If he passed, he would never let anyone desecrate His Highness, and he would kill all the existences that tried to bring His Highness down from the altar.
But Narcissus obviously misunderstood. There was an unknown light in his eyes, and he looked at Ares strangely. His dark purple eyes were indifferent, and the depths of his eyes were filled with disgust.
He sneered and said: "Then you can do it, anyway, you are the only one who bears the price, what does it have to do with us?"
Ares snorted coldly: "You don't need to provoke me, you just need to tell me where the bastard who seduced His Highness is, and I will kill him now."
Hephaestus glanced at him coldly, and reprimanded: "Enough, Ares, look at your impulsive appearance, do you want to run straight to find His Highness, and cause his whereabouts to be leaked!"
Ares felt that Hephaestus' reminder made sense, and immediately retorted after hearing the words: "I will make a good disguise before setting off."
Narcissus looked at him impatiently: "I don't know what I've said, and I didn't come to you to discuss His Highness's private affairs..."
Ares's face changed from green to white, which was very ugly.
At the same time, he noticed that someone knocked on the door of his temple, so he said lightly: "You talk first, someone is looking for me."
The gods ignored him and watched him leave coldly. Apollo slowly gathered the strings and asked, "Narcissus, what did His Highness tell you?"
Narcissus said: "Your Highness has told you that he may disappear before leaving, but now I still want to remind you again, Zeus is the king of gods after all, without His Highness taking the lead, you'd better not Feel free to irritate him, behave yourself, and be a good boy of the God King..."
A few gods either sneered or were bored, and looked more or less impatient. This is due to disapproval of Narcissus' words, and more to the disgust and irritability of Zeus.
If he hadn't run away to the underworld, how could Aphrodite have such a catastrophe? Although His Highness took away the Son of Prophecy, since Zeus had already caught up with them, he could just kill the Son of Prophecy. Why did he force His Highness to fall into the Lete River and disappear
Rhea, like the dust on the table, was blown away by the wind called time, and has long since disappeared from the memory of the gods.
The gods still don't know the real reason for Aphrodite's disappearance. Zeus and the others have also forgotten it. They all think that Aphrodite fell into the river and disappeared because he wanted to save the prophesied son.
The son of prophecy had died in the hands of Themis, but the supreme god still disappeared. The gods who were close to Aphrodite believed that Zeus and Gaia were aggressive and refused to give an inch, so Aphrodite was killed. This catastrophe.
They hated Zeus for acting so excessively, and they were not in the mood to deal with him even basic swearing-in.
So when Narcissus said this, none of them responded.
Narcissus frowned, and when he was about to say something, his expression changed suddenly, showing some surprise: "His Royal Highness has contacted me!"
The faces of the gods changed, and their sloppy bodies sat up straight, their ears pricked up to listen to what the two were saying.
Narcissus closed his eyes, and his connection with Aphrodite was not by words, but by heart.
In the forest, the leaves were whirling by the wind. Aphrodite sat upright, concentrating on communicating with Narcissus. He was asking Narcissus about the battle between the Titans. He wanted to figure out what he was doing. What is his position in this matter, and what is his stake in this matter.
Narcissus is not clear about the beginning and end of the incident, but he has the memory given to him by Aphrodite.
He wanted to give the memory to Aphrodite, but Aphrodite refused.
Aphrodite blinked her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect that she really got in touch with the being closely related to her, and things went smoother than he imagined.
But Aphrodite didn't intend to absorb that memory by himself, because the water of the Lete River covering his soul hadn't completely dissipated, if he absorbed the memory into his body rashly, he didn't know if he would cancel that memory make it disappear.
To be on the safe side, he chose to let Narcissus read the memory, and then told himself.
Judging from getting along and the close connection between the two, Aphrodite believes that Narcissus is worthy of his trust.
Narcissus asked Aphrodite to wait for a while, and then flipped through the part of Aphrodite's memory about the battle of the Titans that had been sealed in him.
During this period, Aphrodite waited patiently for his result, and Tartarus stood by his side, his face full of apprehension and hesitation.
Not long ago, Aphrodite said to him: "Ever since I learned that Typhon might defeat Zeus, I have been feeling a little nervous. I guess this Titan battle may have something to do with me, and the progress of the matter is related to me. There is a deviation in the plan and arrangement, and I want to find someone to understand the cause of the incident."
Tartarus was stunned immediately, and hesitated: "Who do you want to know?"
Aphrodite looked at him and pondered: "When the Lete River was ebbing, I sensed a very close connection with me from the Lete River..."
Tartarus' expression changed immediately, he looked at him in panic, and asked in a panic, "Did he say anything to you?"
Aphrodite asked with a smile, "Do you think he should tell me something?"
Tartarus carefully observed his face, thinking that since Aphrodite didn't point out his identity, maybe Narcissus didn't say anything to him...
But if you didn't say it before, it doesn't mean you won't say it now. Especially when Aphrodite asked about memory, Narcissus must tell the truth.
Tartarus looked sadly at Aphrodite who was communicating with Narcissus with his eyes closed, and worried whether he would recover his memory immediately after getting in touch with Narcissus.
Even if he didn't recover his memory, he might know his true identity, right? With his vigilance, will he doubt whether his approach has ulterior motives
Tartarus stared at him blankly, kissed him lightly on the lips, then slowly closed his eyes, got up, walked to the side and sat down, frowned in distress while holding his chin.
Sensing the softness between her lips, Aphrodite raised her eyes slightly, opened her eyes and glanced at Tartaros, Tartaros stared at him in a daze, Aphrodite raised the corners of her lips, and looked at Tartarus. He showed a faint smile.
But in the eyes of the suspicious Tartarus, this smile seemed to have a lot of meaning.
The beautiful young man looked up at the green shade above his head, letting the light of dawn sprinkle on his face through the gaps in the leaves. He began to think about whether he was going to abandon his identity and return to the abyss.
At the beginning, he incarnated into Adonis with the idea of falling in love with Aphrodite for a short time. He did get the tender and appreciative gaze of the god of love and beauty, but the subsequent birth And the greed and nostalgia in my heart.
He reached out and caressed his lips, thinking distressedly, he has only kissed my forehead before, we have never kissed passionately, nor had we had closer contact, such a simple and barren ending always feels very reconciled a feeling of…
Tartarus hesitated, unaware of the dawn light slowly moving across his face.
On the dawn chariot, Eos smiled and said to Ares who was beside him with a cold face, "Look, Your Highness Aphrodite is there."
Ares nodded, and a cruel light flashed in his scarlet eyes. Eos took the time to see the scene of the beautiful young man secretly kissing Aphrodite, and then saw the flash of violence in the eyes of the God of War as he wished. .
She covered her lips and smiled lightly: "That young man seems to be a god too, he is so beautiful. It's just a pity that he is just an ordinary third-class god, and he is not at all different from the beautiful and powerful His Royal Highness Aphrodite. It doesn't match."
Ares sneered, and said viciously: "It doesn't matter whether he is compatible or not, because his only destination is death!"
Eos' heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect Ares to be so ruthless.
Then there was a bigger surprise in her heart. She thought, if Ares killed Aphrodite's lover, Aphrodite would definitely not let it go. If Reis was killed or injured, His Majesty the God Empress who loved Ares like her life would definitely go mad on the spot and fight Aphrodite forever...
It seems that she made a very good decision to reveal Aphrodite's whereabouts to Ares.
The smile on Eos's lips gradually widened, but in the next second, it suddenly froze on his face.
Ares pierced the spear directly through Eos' heart, and he stirred her heart cruelly with the spear, and Eos' body twitched unconsciously.
Ares pulled out the battle spear, then put his hand directly into her exposed wound, groped for a moment in Eos' bloody chest, and took out the other half of the Dawn Godhead from it.
The chariot that had lost control of the Goddess of Dawn descended from the sky, and Ares smiled cruelly at the Goddess who had lost her divine support and was seriously injured and was about to die. He said viciously: "Thank you for telling me about His Highness's whereabouts." , but I will never allow anyone to threaten His Highness. So I have no choice but to ask you to die."
The divine chariot of Liming hit the ground heavily, and the goddess' body was thrown to the ground. Her eyes were still open in astonishment, looking in the direction of the chariot. She saw the god who was obsessed with the spear jumping down from the divine chariot, and turned into a black-haired pine needle, with two fang-like canines protruding from its mouth. into the woods.
The tangled Tartarus finally made a decision at this time. He wanted to stay by Aphrodite's side until he completely revealed his mask and offered to separate from him.
The ground shook in the distance, and the young man with dark green hair turned his head, and a wild boar the size of a hill rushed towards him roaring in a cloud of dust.
The God of the Abyss easily saw who the wild boar was, and there were two choices before him.
One died as a weak third-class god under the iron hoof of the God of War;
The other is to restore the identity of the god of the abyss and lift Ares away...
He couldn't resist and subdue Ares as a third-class god. After all, for a third-class plant god, the war god was unrivaled and powerful.
Tartarus thought in a daze, so all the thinking and entanglement he did before were all futile...
Aphrodite was awakened by the tremor of the earth, he opened his eyes again, and then saw the pure god of plants standing there in a daze, and the wild boar on the hill jumped up suddenly, facing the plants. The god fell and hit him hard.
Aphrodite wanted to save him, he could have saved Adonis.
But there were two strange black chains sprouting from his feet, binding him in place.
A cloud of dust rose, obscuring both the boar and the plant god.
The silver light flickered behind the gray dust, and Aphrodite saw the wild boar with fierce eyes shining, standing there panting heavily, and there was no longer any plant god under its feet. , but a cluster of anemones appeared out of thin air on that piece of land.
The white anemones timidly stretched out their flower branches, just like the pure white holy flowers that Aphrodite saw when she first met Adonis.
Acting faster than thinking, Aphrodite condensed a bow and arrow in her hands, condensing an emerald green arrow, which was obviously life force, but was being used to plunder life at this moment.
The flashing emerald green arrow hit the wild boar's throat, and the wild boar gradually shrank, and finally turned into a young man with a stern face, curled up powerlessly on the ground.
The life arrow took away the vitality of Ares in reverse, but the God of War did not resist.
Ares tried to smile at him, and then opened the hand holding half of the Dawn Godhead towards him.
Unspeakable pain swept Aphrodite. At this moment, he truly tasted the various tastes of love. He was once sweet and painful.
The god in charge of Eros completely experienced the process from love to loss. After that, the power of the original Eros God that had been dusty for a long time completely untied all the shackles, and poured his power into him without any scruples.
The crazy influx of the power of the original god caused his soul to undergo earth-shaking changes.
His soul, which has accumulated countless powers, has undergone a qualitative change at this moment. If someone can see the essence of his soul, everyone will see a brand new world slowly condensing and forming.
Aphrodite, promoted to a primitive god!
The gods of God's Domain panicked at such a change, especially Zeus and Gaia completely lost their sense of proportion. They were shocked and at a loss, not knowing what the missing Aphrodite was doing and how long it had been since she disappeared. How did he become a primitive god? ! !
Aphrodite couldn't tell his god's mood, and he didn't care.
The water of the Lete River covering the soul is so insignificant in the face of such a majestic force, it is easily pushed away and broken.
Also vulnerable were the two black chains that bound Aphrodite.
"Your sincerity will be trampled to death by others."—It turns out that such a 'sincerity', such a 'trampled to death' ah.
"If you play with the gods of love, you will eventually be played with by love!" - I was indeed toyed, knowing that love is irresistible, I overestimated everyone.
Aphrodite, who recovered her memory, sneered and crushed one of the black chains, which was the curse of Cronus.
"One day you will regret your decision like I did."
—My command to Ares to kill the one I love.
Impulsively I also shot him the arrow of death.
I do regret both decisions.
But also... that's all.
Aphrodite sneered and crushed Rhea's cursed chains into pieces. He tidied up his robes slowly and knelt down beside Ares whose life was almost plundered.
Ares opened his pale lips weakly, and he called softly: "Your Highness... I have fulfilled your request."
Aphrodite closed her eyes suddenly, like a long-thirsty traveler in the desert who met a mouthful of rain and exhaled gently and gently.
He pressed his hand on the arrow, and the arrow suddenly shattered and poured into Ares' body, and the life force returned to Ares' body, filling his shriveled skin and almost dead heart.
Aphrodite said lightly: "Have a good rest, and then go back to the mountain of God. Tell Apollo them that at least for now, they are still in the same position as Zeus, and they are hostile to the Titans. If the Titans rebel against Zeus, they should From the point of view that benefits you, make a timely choice."
Ares wanted to speak, but he couldn't help coughing heavily because the wound in his throat hadn't healed. He covered his lips to prevent the blood from splashing out, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, aren't you going back?" ?”
Aphrodite looked down at the clump of anemones on the ground, and said lightly, "I'm going to the Underworld."
Ares pursed his lips and said nothing.
Aphrodite turned around, and the door of death leading to the underworld opened directly in front of his eyes. He stepped into it with one foot, and Ares, who remembered something, quickly grabbed his hand and stuffed the half of the Dawn Godhead into Aphrodite. In Frodite's hand, he looked at the supreme god with full expectation, and said joyfully, "Your Highness, a goddess found your whereabouts, and I killed her."
After thinking about it for a while, Aphrodite realized where his mistakes were. He sneered and praised indifferently: "You did a good job."
"Okay, let's go back, I have other things to do."
Ares withdrew his hand hesitantly, and watched Aphrodite's figure disappear with the gate of death in despair.
The underworld is not normal at this time. Not long ago, the gloomy and indifferent abyss god fell from the sky on the ground in an extremely embarrassing posture, and fell into the underworld.
Hades and Persephone were stopped by Tartarus when they came out to observe the situation, and he told them: "If Aphrodite came underground to look for a soul named 'Adonis', please find An excuse to refuse him, and don't tell him that this matter has something to do with me."
Hades asked in confusion, "Who is Adonis?"
Tartarus said with difficulty: "...is Aphrodite's lover."
Persephone had a weird look on her face, she endured it, and asked through gritted teeth, "Then who is Adonis?"
Tartarus glanced at her, and Persephone gritted her teeth even harder.
Tartarus said wearily: "I'll go first, you must hold him back."
After finishing speaking, he jumped directly into the Styx River and sank directly into the abyss.
Soon after, Aphrodite also came to the underworld.
Compared to Tartarus' embarrassment, he looked very calm and calm, with a tall and straight figure and elegant demeanor.
Hades stood on the gate of Hades and greeted him. Aphrodite looked at him and walked towards Hades and his wife.
Hades hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, are you here to find someone in the underworld?"
He didn't even ask where the missing Aphrodite came from, and just threw the question out.
Aphrodite nodded.
Persephone also asked, "Are you here to find Adonis?"
Aphrodite snorted slightly, "You know?"
Persephone flicked her blond hair and said intentionally: "Of course, he is a very beautiful and handsome young man. I noticed him as soon as he fell into the underworld. I like him very much and want to take him as my lover, but he Tell me, he has a lover, and that lover is called Aphrodite."
Aphrodite gave her a strange look, and corrected: "If you really asked him, then he should tell you that his lover's name is Yahweh or Jehovah, not Aphrodite."
"Of course, I didn't come to Adonis either. What I'm looking for is Tartarus. Do you have anything else to do? If not, then I'll go first."
Hades and Persephone Qiqi showed embarrassing expressions, they looked at each other, and quickly waved their hands to get out of the way: "It's okay, it's okay, Your Highness, please."
