[Greek mythology] Apollo's counterattack plan

Hermes had no choice but to temporarily stop his plan regrettably, and flew in front of Zeus.Iris, the Rainbow Goddess, is already there.A pair of translucent wings were filled with light, and it was obvious that she was in an extremely good mood right now.

Zeus's expression was more serious, and he opened his mouth to ask: "You two have been to the most places, do you know where these two stupid guys came from?"

Hermes and Iris looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Then," asked Zeus again, "whose descendants are they, according to your guesses?"

Hermes glanced at him and thought to himself, you already have your own ideas, and you still come to ask us what we are doing.

Iris immediately chirped and said: "I know, I know, it's not easy to give birth to such a big giant. Their parents must have high divine power. I flew all over the Aegean Sea, Europa, and Asia Minor, I only heard that there were many giants among the descendants of the two gods. One is Gaia, and the other is Poseidon. However, I don’t know which of them gave birth to these two brothers. Besides, there may be some Some gods we are not familiar with can also give birth to such sons. Hey, Hermes, do you know anyone else?"

"I don't know." Hermes replied honestly.

Iris said triumphantly, "Hey, I knew you wouldn't get any more news than I did."

"But where is Gaia now?" Zeus asked again.

This time, Iris thought for a long time before saying: "This question really stumps me. She has been wandering on the earth, here today, there tomorrow, no fixed residence. She only appears when there is something, When there is nothing to do, no one can find her. I haven't seen her for a long time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she squinted at Hermes again, and as expected, he shook his head.

"That's it," Zeus sighed, "then I have no choice but to call Poseidon to ask. If these two are his sons, then I must punish him well. Iris, this matter I will leave it to you."

The Rainbow Goddess agreed and walked away happily.

She was terrified by those two giants, and when she heard that she could find out the culprit, of course she wished for it.

"As for you, Hermes," Zeus said again, "you should have guessed your mission."

"Well, looking for Ares." Hermes said, thinking to himself, another errand job.I have had a harder life than any god on Mount Olympus. Not only do I have to help Zeus deliver news and settle lovers, but I also have to do such trivial things as lure the dead to the underworld, and I actually have to do it myself.Speaking of which, although I am the son of the goddess Maia, I am not even the descendant of the mortal woman Dionysus.The kid was free to roam and go wherever he wanted, but I had to run around, and I couldn't find the time whenever I wanted to date Apollo.

Of course, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, it was only in his heart, and he promised happily: "Father, don't worry, I will find him as soon as possible."

"Uh, it doesn't have to be so fast." Zeus said, "That kid is reckless and stupid, let him stay in the bronze tank for a little longer, maybe next time he will be better."

"……it is good."

Hermes thought while flying, Zeus's dislike for Ares has reached the point where he doesn't even bother to cover it up.In fact, speaking seriously, not only Ares, but among the children of Zeus, Hephaestus and Hebe are not very fond of him.I don't know if it's because their mothers are Hera.

After Zeus gave the mission to the two envoys, he was ready to reward Apollo well.This son who is as dazzling as the sun is simply his pride.

However, he scanned several times carefully, but he couldn't see where he was.

"Are you looking for the God of Light?" A god next to him guessed his thoughts, "I just saw him flying away after Hermes."

Zeus was stunned: When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?

After thinking about it, he understood Apollo's intentions, and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

Before Hermes flew far, he realized that someone was following him, but he couldn't figure out who would be so bored and why would he follow him.

So he deliberately rushed into a mass of dark clouds, concealed his figure, and then took advantage of the man's hesitation, suddenly turned back, and almost bumped into him face to face.

"Apollo!" Hermes was shocked.But then, he moved his feet and wanted to speed up and escape.

He should have thought that there were only the two of them here, and no matter what Apollo wanted to do to him, he couldn't resist.

But before he could fly away, the God of Light grabbed his arm.

It was too close for him to dodge.

"Hermes, don't be afraid, I didn't come to trouble you. I have something to do with you." Just listen to him.

Hermes felt a little bit of embarrassment, and said, "I'm not afraid. I just want to continue on my way. After all, as an envoy of God, I have a mission. Alright, dear brother, tell me, Whatever it is, leave it to me."

"That," Apollo hesitated, "I just heard the conversation between you and Zeus."

"So..." Hermes had a bad feeling.Wouldn't it be what he guessed?

"I think, I want to go find Ares with you." Apollo blushed.

"And then?" Hermes asked through gritted teeth.

Sure enough, his philandering lover fell in love with Ares again.

What's so good about that guy, he thought sourly, isn't it because he often fights and has a stronger body?He is neither as smart nor as handsome as him, and his personality is not as good as his. I really don't know what Apollo likes in him.

The God of Light hesitated, but in the end he was still too embarrassed to reveal his plans.

Ever since he knew that Ares's strength was nothing more than that, and he was locked up in such a weak posture, he was thinking about it.

It is estimated that in the entire God Realm, there is no softer persimmon than him.

However, it seemed that these words were really hard to say, so Apollo thought for a long time, and finally said: "Look, those two giants just now are so powerful. Maybe in their lair—that is, the place where Ares was imprisoned— There are even more ferocious opponents. I am worried that you will not be able to handle it alone, so I want to go with you. If something unexpected happens, I can also help you."

This reason is really good. If it is not that the understanding of him has reached a certain level, Hermes might believe it.

But, you can't reject him explicitly.If he wanted to follow him secretly, he would have nothing to do with him.It's better to put it under the nose, and get along with each other a lot along the way, and cultivate a good relationship.

Thinking of this, Hermes readily agreed.

Apollo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "That's right, do you already have some clues about where Ares is being held?"

"Not at all." Hermes replied bluntly.

"...Then where are we going?"

"Look around first, you can always find it."

"...Ah!" Poor Ares.

Not long after Apollo solved the giant brothers, both Poseidon and Pluto got the news.

Aegean seabed, within the Golden Palace.

Poseidon smiled: "Zeus, is that cowardly? Someone wanted to attack Hera, but he didn't dare to fight. Let me just say, he can become the king of gods only by tricks and tricks." .If we really fight, we will definitely not be the opponents of the two of us."

There was no happy expression on Hades' face, and he said lightly: "Not necessarily, it may also be because he didn't care about Hera that much. I heard that there was a mortal who was invited by him to attend the divine ceremony in Olympos. Banquet, he had feelings for Hera that he shouldn't have. After he found out, not only was he not angry, but he even planned to make Hera out of clouds and give it to that mortal."

"Well, maybe I should let those two brothers take Ganymedes. He has a heart for that womanly child," said Poseidon, "but anyway, at least we know For one thing, none of the gods on Mount Olympus are willing to stand up for Zeus, and of course, they don't have much talent, especially Ares—oh, except for Apollo..."

"I said, don't talk about your lover all the time." Pluto interrupted him coldly, "If it wasn't for that damned God of Light who came first, perhaps this time, we would be able to see the true strength of Zeus. "

"You can't blame him for this," Poseidon said hastily, "blame me, I shouldn't have let those two brothers rob Artemis, so that he wouldn't be angered."

"However, the reason why you chose her as your target in the first place was because you were sure she wasn't on the mountain. If it was Athena they wanted to snatch, I'm afraid that woman would have already made her move—the fighting power of the Goddess of Wisdom cannot be underestimated." Yes. But fortunately, she is not very loyal to Zeus, otherwise, it must be a serious problem." Hades said.

"Cough, the matter has already happened, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." Sea God said.

"Anyway," Hades said again, "the next time Gaia's son attacks Olympus, you have to find a way to get him out of the way. Of course, if you can't deal with him, I'll do it myself La."

"What do you want to do?" Poseidon immediately became vigilant. "Your underworld cannot see the sun all day long, and there are hideous evil spirits wandering around. He won't like it."

"So, you have a way to drag him into the depths of the ocean and imprison him in this golden palace?" Pluto didn't bother to argue with him, pointing out the facts directly.

"No," Poseidon replied truthfully, "his shape-shifting technique is already very good, even if I really do it, he is very likely to turn into a dolphin, a shell, a small fish or something, and escape halfway."

"So, I can only deal with it." Hades made a final decision.

Unexpectedly, Sea God suddenly laughed: "However, brother, this is not the only place I use to imprison people."
