Ares does not want to fall in love [Greek mythology]

On the Temple of Thunder, thunderclouds were densely covered, and lightning danced wildly like silver snakes.Ares and Adonis walked out of the teleportation circle, and were welcomed into the temple by the attendants.

God King Zeus sat on the throne, with a majestic face, and said in a deep voice: "Ares, it is not easy to invite you here."

Ares knew what he was referring to.While he was recuperating his divine body, Zeus once summoned him, asking him to lead a fight in the world with a spear representing war.After receiving the notice, he flatly refused and did not go there in time.

So this time the God King directly used the teleportation array of the God of Space to demonstrate his authority with such a strong behavior.

Fortunately, he has recovered his divine body. If he refuses the king of Olympus again, I am afraid that the electric fire of Thor's wrath will fall on his head.

Before Ares could speak, Zeus looked at Adonis with heavy eyes again: "The plant god who came uninvited, please leave my temple quickly before I get angry-my temple of thunder is not for everyone. I can come!"

Seeing Zeus burn his anger on Adonis, Ares hurriedly said: "Adonis did not come uninvited. My dear Father God, since you have opened the teleportation array of the space god, everyone will come through the teleportation array." All the gods are responding to your call, what's wrong with that?"

Zeus snorted coldly, didn't pursue further, and talked about business.

"I asked you to come here today because I have something to let you know—" As he spoke, he cast his eyes on the Goddess of Wisdom waiting in the temple, and said in a deep voice, "Athena, come and tell me."

The silver-haired goddess took a step forward and looked at Ares calmly: "Ares, the thing is like this. During the days when you stayed behind closed doors, a war broke out in the world-Athens and Salamis Fighting for food." At this point, she looked apologetic: "As the patron saint of Athens, I naturally want to protect my city-state. In this war, I taught wisdom to the Athenians and made them rational Think, use tactical strategy to defeat the enemy. In the end, they won."

Ares didn't know what she wanted to say, so he listened impatiently, and said casually, "Oh, this is a good thing."

Athena continued: "However, the radiance of wisdom also gave them new beliefs. After the war, the priests of the Parthenon Temple prayed to me and thanked the Goddess of Military for her help. Only then did I know that they actually took me Worship as a god of war."

Hearing this, Ares' face sank, and his eyes flashed coldly: "On the sacred mountain of Olympus, I am the only god of war."

Zeus expressed his attitude at the right time: "So when you are too busy, there is no one to preside over the war in the world. Facts have proved that it is necessary to add a war god."

The high god-king holds supreme authority, and he doesn't like to be disobeyed.By accident, he married a wife with a bad temper, and whenever that wife got angry, he was eager to reclaim his position as a power elsewhere.Especially in front of the child born to him by his wife, Ares, the god of war, such behavior made him faintly happy.

Ares' face turned cold. He didn't care about everything because he didn't care about fame and fortune.But snatching the godhead of the god of war?This undoubtedly touched his inverse scales.He said angrily: "I don't agree! The god of war in Olympus, I am the only one."

Hearing this, Zeus' face darkened, and he let out a low hum from his nose, which fell into the ears of the three gods in the temple, but it sounded like a thunderbolt, making people's ears hurt.

Zeus's temper was aimed at Ares, but the God of War, who is not very sensitive to other people's emotions, knew this matter clearly.But he was not afraid at all, standing in the hall, like an unbending pine tree, silently expressing his rejection to Zeus.

Adonis stood outside the storm, but took a step closer to Ares in the center of the vortex, and took his hand.

Regardless of thunder and rain, he is willing to face it with Ares.

Zeus, who was watching all directions, saw Adonis's small movements, and his murderous eyes shot at the plant god like two lightning bolts, wishing he could kill him.

The plant god pursed his lips tightly, showing no fear.

The confrontation between the two parties was broken by the voice of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.I only heard the silver-haired goddess say: "Respected god king, may the anger stay away from you and give you a happy mood. In this matter, I am indeed ashamed. But the people of Athens said that they desperately need someone who teaches them military affairs The gods of strategy, let them reduce unnecessary casualties in wars. This is the voice of the people, and I am willing to fight for them!"

When Ares heard this, he couldn't believe it: "Athena, according to what you said, if you want to satisfy the aspirations of the Athenians, people in other city-states don't care?"

Athena looked at him in astonishment: "Ares, why do you think so? Of course I don't mean that! I love everything in the world. They are gifts from the gods and kings. They are both rare and equal."

Athena secretly changed the concept again, leaving the clumsy Ares at a loss as to where to start.He was a little anxious, clenched his fists, and flames began to dance in his eyes.He thought, if the goddess in front of him wanted to "struggle for rights" for Athens, he would use his fist to tell her who is the well-deserved god of war!

Seeing the plight of Ares, Adonis took the initiative to speak and acted as the mouthpiece of the God of War: "Dear Goddess of Wisdom, I got the following information from your statement-you helped the Athenians and taught them the strategy of war, Let them win the war against Salamis. They are grateful to you and worship you as a military goddess, hoping that you can teach them to face the war more wisely, right?"

Athena listened carefully, there was no loophole in this passage.When Adonis asked her what she meant, she nodded slightly.

"On this matter, my dear Ares has a different view." He glanced at Ares, only to see Ares looking at him wholeheartedly.With full confidence, he gave him the opportunity to defend himself.

"As the beneficiary of the war, Athens has its own considerations, and the demands it makes must be beneficial to itself. As the patron saint of Athens, it is understandable that you want to meet their demands. But Salamis, who was the defeated party, suffered Don't they think that Athens will get your strategic guidance?"

Athena stopped talking for a while, and she argued: "In this matter, I am indeed on the side of Athens. But if I were a goddess of military strategy, I would never favoritism! I will teach the people of Athens, and I will teach the people of other cities."

Hearing this, Zeus nodded and expressed his appreciation to Athena: "As a god of war, you should be so impartial." Ares did a good job in this, but he was too impulsive and always liked to use Solve problems violently, so that dealing with problems is always a little bit unsatisfactory.

Zeus is very supportive of letting Athena share the godhead of the God of War and become the goddess of military strategy.In his opinion, a reckless and warlike god of war and a wise and calm military god complement each other. Their joint efforts can make war, an important machine for him to rule the human world, to operate better.

But how could Ares be willing?

If someone needs to stand by his side and share the priesthood of war with him, it can only show his incompetence!

Adonis said: "Dear God King, what I want to say has nothing to do with partiality. We all know that Athens won this time without the guidance of the goddess of wisdom. If the strategy is spread throughout the world, it may be difficult to achieve what the goddess of wisdom said. The purpose of 'reducing unnecessary casualties' - since the two sides are equal in strength, it is difficult to tell the winner, and the casualties are also equal. So, will adding a military goddess be beneficial to the war?"

From the perspective of a city-state, there is undoubtedly.

But from the perspective of the overall game, no.

Athena's eyebrows twitched, she pointed her finger at Adonis, and said with compassion: "Poor plant god, do you think wisdom and strategy are useless things?"

Ares heard her mocking meaning.It's not that he hasn't been ridiculed by others, and there are many people who say he is reckless and bloodthirsty, but—it's not allowed to point the long sword of words at the person he likes!He squeezed the knuckles of his fingers, signaling Athena to pay attention to her words.

Athena couldn't help showing a troubled expression: "Ares, are you clenching your fist to warn me? What have I done to bear your hatred? Maybe I shouldn't help Athens, but in this matter, I am not Promoter, I am passive like you!"

Seeing that Athena was sad, Zeus felt that Ares was unreasonable, so he couldn't help scolding: "Aris, pay attention to your attitude!"

Ares looked at him coldly: "What is my attitude? Your attitude determines my attitude. If you want to directly strip my godhood, inform me, or even despise my friends who defend me, then I am such a manner!"

What he said was so straightforward and loud that Zeus didn't know where to start scolding for a moment.

Adonis held Ares's hand tightly, and said in a firm voice: "Aris, thank you for your protection, just as I protect you. I know that there is nothing wrong with the two of us, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Now, please let me protect myself Justify."

Ares looked at him deeply, his eyes were Adonis' armor.Adonis stepped forward and said calmly: "I don't think strategy is unimportant, but I think it should belong to the category of wisdom. People use their brains to think, mobilize their wisdom to arrange the battle situation, and thus win This is the combination of wisdom and force, and it comes from the common blessing of the Goddess of Wisdom and the God of War. Is there really a need for a Goddess of Military Strategy?"

Athena wanted to say something, but was caught by Adonis: "Dear Goddess of Wisdom, if you think that two gods need to share the priesthood of war, how many people are needed to bear the priesthood of wisdom?" ?”

Athena's eyes were full of disbelief, she never imagined how she, who was familiar with strategies, would be turned against the general.But there is no doubt that if she strives for the godhead of the military goddess, even if she succeeds in the end, she still has to worry about whether her wisdom godhead will become the next target to be stripped.

Athena took a deep breath and had to admit that all her plans were in vain.After arguing for so long, she actually had to give in in front of these two male gods: "Yes, you are right. I have to admit that I was thinking about it before."

After Athena finished speaking, she turned to the God King and said, "Dear God King, neither the priesthood of war nor wisdom is suitable for splitting. I should not compromise in the prayers of the people of Athens. Thank you for your willingness to help solve this problem. I think , maybe I have to communicate with them and let them demolish the temple of the Goddess of War."

Ares raised his eyebrows, only then did he realize that she was so well prepared that even the temple was built.He interrupted: "Don't be so troublesome. Athena, you are the patron saint of Athens, not the slave of Athens. You don't need to communicate repeatedly about their obviously wrong behavior. Leave the follow-up of this matter to me, and I To express my displeasure directly to them - smash your Temple of the Military Goddess!"

Athena almost couldn't catch her breath. She could compromise, but she didn't want to end the plan in such a humiliating way: "Ares, I think you've gone too far..."

"Despise the gods, is my punishment too much?" Ares asked back, leaving Athena speechless.He didn't look at the shameless God King and Goddess of Wisdom, and greeted Adonis: "Let's go, Adonis, let's go to Athens!"

Adonis followed closely.

The two left the Temple of Thunder, and Ares was still a little unhappy.He said sullenly: "Recovering divine power was originally a very happy thing, but it has been messed up."

However, if you are angry, there is one more important thing, and he is still thinking about not telling Adonis!

Thinking of this, Ares grabbed Adonis' hand and said loudly——

"Adonis, I love you!"

After waiting for such a good time, I finally couldn't wait.

In fact, confession does not require any opportunity, only a sincere heart.

He likes him.

It's that simple.
