Theogony - Dark Dawn

Long, long ago, in a faraway land, the world was ruled by three gods.

Including Zeus, the god of heaven, who rules the mortal world of the sky and the land.Poseidon, the god of the sea, rules the boundless ocean and all creatures in it.Also, Hades, the king of the underworld, the king who rules the underworld of the kingdom of death.

The three gods were originally independent of each other, each staying in his own country, living his own life, delicately maintaining a certain balance.

However, once Zeus fell in love with a goddess, Demeter, the goddess of the earth, and kept courting him.As a result, the goddess couldn't bear his affectionate confession, so she married him.However, this goddess is actually Hades' favorite woman.

Hades, the king of the underworld, was very angry when he learned about it. His beloved brother took away his favorite woman.The woman he loves the most betrayed him. In order to retaliate against all these betrayals, he openly challenged the authority of the gods, triggered a huge war, and started the "Battle of the Gods", vowing to wash away his humiliation.

"Bright star, god, why did you fall from heaven? I will push down your corrupted kingdom! I will ascend to heaven, I will lift my sword above the gods, above the clouds , sit on the same throne as the king. However, you will fall to hell, to the depths of sin." Hades, the king of the underworld, raised his voice, this is his declaration of battle against Zeus, arrogant and unruly.

The sound can be heard for hundreds of miles.

Wearing dark armor, he rode on a black horse, raised a sharp sword in his hand, and shouted loudly. He led thousands of troops, and his aura was like a rainbow, triggering the echo of the soldiers behind him.

"Down with the gods, you will fall to hell, to the depths of sin." The soldiers raised their weapons in unison and shouted in unison, resounding through the sky.

Thousands of troops and horses held war spears and wore hard rhinoceros armor, roaring like angry lions, and charged forward with all their strength.The two armies went into battle, the enemy and the enemy melee, constantly waving their swords to fight each other.Each other's chariots pressed against each other, and their wheels crossed.

There are deep traces left by the wheels on the ground, criss-crossing like spider webs.

The high-hanging battle flags of the two armies covered the sky and the sun, fluttering in the wind like fish tumbling in the waves.

The wind is whistling, calling the ballad of death.

The shouts of the soldiers and the scene of the bloodbath washing the mountains and rivers are shocking.

This war originally lasted almost 20 years without distinction, during which time the war still affected innocent people.Human beings are deeply implicated by its wars, and the people are in dire straits.

So the remaining ten gods of Olympus (the twelve gods of Olympus include: (God of Heaven) Zeus, (Goddess of Power) Hira, (Goddess of Earth) Demeter, (God of the Sea) Poseidon, (Victory) Goddess) Athena, (Sun God) Apollo, (Moon Goddess) Artemis, (Love God) Aphrodite, (War God) Ares, (Vulcan and Craftsman God) Hephaestus Si, (God of Dionysus) Dionysus and (Pluto) Hades), they all stand on the side of Zeus for the peace of the world, and fight against the king of the underworld together.Hades, the king of the underworld, was alone and weak for a while, and the battle situation took a turn for the worse.

Hades watched the crowds of enemy troops rush into his position, trampling the lives of soldiers mercilessly, helpless.He stood upright on the chariot, faced the enemy head-on, and killed more than half of the enemy's soldiers by himself.However, Athena, the goddess of victory, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Ares, the god of war, rode together and stopped in front of him. The three joined hands to fight against him.

For a moment, he was restrained by the magic circle created by the three people's divine power, and he couldn't move at all.The chariot standing under his feet was accurately hit by Poseidon's cold wave water balloon, and the wheels were instantly destroyed.In an instant, it fell into the ground, and Ares took the opportunity to ride the horse on the front of the car, pulled the reins, and restrained the action.

The soldiers behind him who were originally responsible for boosting morale, picked up the drumsticks and beat the war drums, stopped their hands for a moment when they saw this, the deafening drums stopped immediately, and the momentum of the army also dropped a lot.

In this battle, the battle was fierce, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.The swords of the soldiers of the two armies wanted to kill each other, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses lay one after another on the field.

Seeing this, Hades finally had to make up his mind to surrender.

This battle, known as the "Battle of the Gods" in history, lasted for 30 years before it officially ended.

"Demeter's Temple", here is the residence of the goddess of the earth. (The Goddess of the Earth is the god responsible for controlling the four seasons in the world and the growth of crops.) The Qionglouyuyu here is extremely gorgeous, and every place is ingenious.Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to one pavilion, the corridors are back and forth, the eaves and teeth are pecked high, surrounded by hundreds of flowers, which bloom all year round and never wither.There is a pleasant fragrance everywhere, a fairyland like the fragrance of birds and flowers.

At this time, in the antique hall with carved beams and painted buildings, the goddess Demeter was speaking to a picturesque young man with a deep tone.

"Posefen, mom is going to attend the "Negotiation of the Battle of the Gods" today, you have to stay at home obediently, do you understand?"

Although the tone was light, it contained deep worry.

She understands her son's temper so well, she doesn't allow him to do that, but he just wants to do that. I don't know who this character is like?However, this negotiation stipulated that all the twelve gods of Olympus should be present.Therefore, it is inevitable for her to attend the banquet.

A boy named Poserfen, wearing white gauze clothes.Although he wore a white veil, he had short golden hair, shining like stars.The blue eyes are as beautiful as lake water.

He stood in front of Demeter, with beautiful eyes and a smile, with doubts: "Why didn't mom take me there? Besides, today is my coming-of-age ceremony, you said you would take me out to see the outside world! "

Even though there was no trace of blame in the tone, it turned into harsh words in Demeter's ears.

She was also very guilty. For many years, because of her excessive desire to protect him, she trapped Poser in this magnificent palace.She clearly agreed that when he reaches adulthood, she will take him out for a walk, but as the goddess of the earth, she takes care of many responsibilities, especially the four seasons in the world are all in her hands.

Therefore, she often made many promises to Poser, but failed to keep them.

"Mom promised you that when you come back, I will take you out for a walk, okay?" Demeter asked softly with worried eyes, her tone was full of tenderness.

Just as Poserfen was about to open his mouth to say something, a maid trotted over in a hurry, "My lord goddess, it's time to go."

After speaking, he bowed.

Hearing this, Demeter frowned, lowered her eyes in thought, and looked back at Poser, only to see him reply: "Mom, don't worry! I'm right at home!"

Hearing this, Demeter smiled charmingly, stared deeply at her son, and softly said softly, "Poser is so good, mom will be back soon!"

She stretched out her snow-white hand, touched Poserfen's head a few times, and hurriedly left the temple with a few maids.

As soon as Demeter left, Poserfen rolled his eyes and said in a low voice with a smile: "I don't want to stay at home, I must go out, as long as I get home before my mother comes back, I won't be found! Yes, that's right. That's it!"

At this time, there was no one in the main hall, only Poser was alone, so no one noticed his attention.He is different from other children, although he, as the son of the goddess of the earth, is also conferred the title of God "God of Spring".But he didn't like a large group of people waiting around, and those people would look at him with weird or curious eyes.

He knew from an early age that his legs were not working well, and he walked with a limp on his left foot. Everyone around him, except his mother, looked at him with disbelief.Because he is a god, but he is different from other gods.The other gods are all limbs and possess all-powerful divine power.However, apart from being able to conjure some flowers and plants and have ordinary healing abilities, he knows nothing.

When he thought of this, his eyes dimmed. People in the world judge people by their appearance, how superficial it is!snort!hum! hum!

Poser limped out of the temple in small steps, turned into a bird, flew high into the sky, and secretly followed behind his mother.Demeter didn't know that her son was secretly following behind. As soon as she got out of the gate of the temple, she got into the carriage and told the driver to drive in the direction of the Temple of Olympus.

Poser jumped up, turned into a skylark, and slowly flew in the air. Usually, because of the inconvenience of walking, he often transformed into a bird, so his flying skills are very handy.

He had only seen the inside of his own temple, and his mother never let people go out since he was a child, saying that it was dangerous outside.He can only hope that the coming-of-age ceremony will come soon, so that he can walk out of that temple and trap his home.

He looked up at the blue sky, the sky was so blue, like a piece of blue satin.The clouds are so white, like snow-white cotton candy.

Then, he looked down again, the earth seemed to be under his feet, and all the beautiful scenery came into his eyes.

When the wind blows, the breeze brings coolness.This is the breath of nature, with the taste of life.Unlike the scenery created by using divine power in the temple, this place has a "live" taste.

Of course, there is a distance between Olympus's temple and Demeter's temple, so after flying for about an hour, Poserpin was tired, so he landed and rested on the top of the carriage with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, Demeter in the carriage felt a shock, although it was slight, but felt a very familiar feeling.

She bowed her head in thought, and asked softly for a while, "Have you felt the breath of Poseidon?"

When the three maids in the carriage heard this, one of them laughed in a low voice and said, "Miss Goddess, you are overthinking! Didn't Her Highness Poserfen promise to stay in the temple obediently? Why are you here?"

Goddesses are famously doting on their own sons, and they are not surprised.

Demeter nodded lightly, and replied absent-mindedly: "That's right, I should be overthinking."

She tried to calm herself down, but now her heart was very turbulent, and she couldn't calm down at all.

Because today when she goes to Olympus, not only will she see Zeus, whom she hasn't seen for many years, but she will also see that person...

Zeus hadn't looked for her since she gave birth to Porter, and it was obvious that he was tired of him. She also looked down upon such an unknown husband, and she might not be able to accept it at first, but after so many years, without him, She's alive too, isn't she?

Moreover, she also has a lovely son, which is enough.

But, that person, she was the one who was sorry for him.Now I have to meet again, just imagining it is embarrassing.

She gently lowered her eyes, and a man with flying black hair flashed in her mind... the man who should have quit her life a long time ago but was still in her life.

In the carriage, Poser dozed off for a while, and the carriage stopped abruptly, almost rolling off the roof.He raised his eyes and saw an ingenious temple rushing into his eyes.In an instant, Poser woke up in shock, staring dumbfounded at the temple that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

Since he was a child, he has been well-clothed and well-fed, and he has long been accustomed to gorgeous things, but he is still attracted and shocked by the temple in front of him.

Around the temple, there are towering ancient trees, shaded by green trees, red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent and resplendent.The roofs are all made of full, crystal-clear white pearls, eye-catching.A number of attendants greeted the guests from outside the door, and the surroundings were filled with the sound of Guqin and the sound of bells, and the ears were full of auditory enjoyment.And the smog is even more lingering under the feet, and the indistinct white mist is wrapped around, as soft as stepping on the clouds.

Poser came to his senses immediately, looking left and right, curious.I thought to myself, fortunately I followed him secretly. Although my mother promised to take him out in the future, she didn't promise to take him to Olympus in the future!That's why he sneaked out instead of fooling around outside.

He wants to visit such a tall and splendid temple!

Moreover, he still saw with his own eyes the rumored man who set off the "Battle of the Gods" for his mother, a mysterious and passionate man, who is such a man, who actually confronted the eleven gods of Olympus alone? , and persisted for more than three years.Ordinary gods can't do it at all, even Zeus, who is also a god of heaven, has never possessed such divine power.

The king who rules the underworld, this curious man.

When the carriage drove to the gate of the palace, it was asked to stop.With the help of the maid, Demeter slowly got out of the carriage.

As soon as the goddess got out of the car, she attracted many amazed eyes.

Her face is fragrant and charming, just like a lotus emerging from water.It is difficult to describe with pen and ink the beauty of that beautiful crown, with snow-skinned and flowery appearance.

No wonder Hades the Hades and the god Zeus started a war for her!

Everyone sighed in their hearts, and their eyes never left this stunning goddess.

Facing those blatant gazes, Demeter could only sigh inwardly.

In fact, if she could not come, she really didn't want to face those two men.One has given up on her. The reason why Zeus is fighting this war is because of face, and has nothing to do with her love.

What's more, she is only Zeus's underground lover, and the wife of the main room has never been her.

The other is deeply guilty. That black-haired man should also give up on her, but he couldn't bear the most intimate and favorite deception, so he started this war, and it had nothing to do with his admiration for himself.

Poser flapped his wings and looked down at his mother from a high place. Although the cheeks were still bright and charming, he didn't know why he felt that his mother seemed unhappy.

They shuttled through the circuitous corridors, and under the leadership of the attendants, they stepped into the main hall.In the sleeping hall, cloud-top sandalwood is used as beams, rhinestone crystals are used as lamps, crescent pearls are used as curtains, and red gold is used as pillar foundations.The huge pure white pillars are hung with violet patterns embroidered with gold thread as hanging curtains, which are beautiful and gorgeous.

Demeter stepped on the white jade floor, lifted her skirt, and walked slowly to the round table in the center of the hall, where many gods had been waiting for a long time.

Under the leadership of her attendants, she sat down in her own seat.

As soon as Demeter sat down, a female voice sounded from the opposite side, saying maliciously: "Sister, it's really late! I have made everyone wait for you for so long, sister, I thought you had some accident on the road."

Demeter raised her eyes and glanced at the woman. The woman was noble, elegant, and extremely beautiful. She had a pair of piercing eyes and insight into everything. Her shoulder-less combat clothing showed arms as white as lilies. Her beautiful curly hair flowed from Wearing a crown inlaid with flowers and leaves, which symbolizes royal power, pours out from below.

Although, with a pure white veil on his face, he couldn't see the expression on his face.

However, the eyes staring at her were vicious and disdainful.

Demeter lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, sister, it's my sister who is wrong."

The woman is the Queen of Heaven, Sheila, the wife of Zeus, known as the "Goddess of Power".She was so jealous that she often executed Zeus's private lovers.If it weren't for Demeter being one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, and Sheila had some scruples, I'm afraid she would have been poisoned too.This is also the reason why Demeter forbade her son to go out before he was an adult. She was afraid that if she was not careful, her beloved son would be murdered by Sheila.

After turning into a bird and following his mother to the main hall, Poserfen stayed on the pillar next to the round table, spying on every move below.

He stuck out his tongue and made faces at the woman who bullied his mother.

hum...

From time to time, he hummed softly in his heart, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Except for the twelve gods of Olympus, he has never seen Pluto, and the rest have all seen them in books.Therefore, Poserfen doesn't look good to them at all.Especially, the father who abandoned them, the god Zeus.

Seeing the man sitting on the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne without saying a word, he was very upset.

The damn woman bullied his mother just now, and he was beside him, so he was able to keep silent. This ruthless, wicked, and playful man turned out to be his father, which made Poser very disgusted!

My mother must have had a problem with her eyes to choose such a man!Poser thought to himself.

Even if he saw his father for the first time today, he didn't have a slight liking for him.For so many years, every time he mentioned this man, his mother would silently wipe away her tears without saying a word.Although there was nothing wrong with the corner of his mouth, he knew that this man had hurt his mother.

And the scar that existed in my heart must still be red, swollen and bright, and it hasn't disappeared.

Speaking of which, Hades, the king of the underworld, is really a low-key god. The rest of the gods can be seen in the book, but there is no record of that man in the book.

Poserfen remembered only reading one sentence in the book, the only description of this mysterious king: "The most dangerous existence in the world."

There is no description, only this short sentence, but it contains a warning.

As if, to warn the world not to get close to this god.

What kind of man is this father who almost became him (as long as his mother chose him back then)?

He remembered that when he asked his mother about the deeds of this god, his mother would mutter to herself with a look of nostalgia: "He is the most powerful, gentle, and dangerous existence. Among all the gods, He is a man with the highest divine power. However, he has no competitive heart. He said that fame and fortune are just a passing cloud, and everything is unimportant..."

A man with such vigor has made him yearn and yearn for him since he was a child.

He really wanted to see the rumored man!The man who loved his mother so much, he would not hesitate to set off a vortex of war!

Just as Poserfen was contemplating, an attendant raised his voice and announced: "Hades, the king of the underworld, is here!"

As soon as the sound fell, all the gods cast their eyes on the majestic black shadow outside the temple.

I saw a man with a handsome appearance and a cold face with deep eyes and a high nose walking towards him with strides calmly.

He held the dark helmet in one hand, and took off the black gloves in the other. He was wearing pure jet-black armor, while his jet-black hair fell naturally on his shoulders, and he wore black high boots on his slender legs, knocking on the ground. There were steady footsteps.

The sound of footsteps carried the fear of persecuting the enemy.

Those sharp eyes alone are daunting.However, at the same time exudes a gentle and restrained temperament.This one is the emperor of the underworld—Hades, the king of the underworld.
