[Greek mythology] Apollo's counterattack plan

"No, no, no," Hermes vetoed, with an ambiguous smile, "If it was in the past, maybe he would. But now, as far as I know, he is targeting various gods, and he has already targeted mortals. Lost interest - don't ask me how I know."

"Okay," Zeus said, "we don't need to worry about this kind of problem, just get Apollo back. Every time I see him, my mood will be much better. Hermes, you must be You don't want to go, do you?"

"Of course, I don't dare to be alone with him now." Hermes admitted without hesitation.

Zeus smiled: "Then, Iris, I can only trouble you to make a trip."

The Rainbow Goddess happily accepted this mission, and she was also very curious about what the God of Light was doing in the mortal world.

"You can go to Delphi first." Hermes said, "If you can't find anyone, then go to Sparta."

"It seems that you are paying attention to his whereabouts. Is it convenient to avoid him? It's really troublesome." Dionysus sarcastically said.

"Where, it's better than someone being a coward all the time." Hermes never admit defeat.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but Ganymedes always felt that since Zeus announced that he would find Apollo, the atmosphere at the banquet was much better, and the gods began to talk and laugh loudly, mocking each other.Zeus drank three glasses of wine from his hand.

However, not long after, there was a "bang", and the golden door was slammed open.Iris jumped in all of a sudden, put her hands on the table, panting heavily.

All the gods looked behind her together, but did not see the shadow of the God of Light.

"Where is Apollo?" Dionysus asked first.

"Wait, wait a while before coming over." Iris said while panting.

At this time, everyone could see that her expression was wrong, and there was a bit of anxiety in the panic.

"What's the matter?" someone asked.

Iris gasped a few more times before saying, "Someone is calling."

"what?"

"Someone is going to attack Mount Olympus, it's a giant, a tall giant, run away, everyone run away..." Iris called out.

As soon as her words fell, the gods burst into laughter.

"Iris," Hebe stroked her vest, helping her to calm down, "are you out of your mind, how could such a thing happen?"

"That's right, did you see that Zeus, Hera, and other gods are sitting here. Who has the courage? Even if he is not afraid of the thunderbolt of the god king, he should also consider Ares and Athena." .”

"You must have been running a lot of errands recently, and you are hallucinating."

The gods talked about it, but it was obvious that they didn't take her words seriously.Zeus was no exception. He rested his chin on his hand and listened to the conversation of the gods with great interest, among which there were many words of praise for him.

The Rainbow Goddess hastily argued: "No, I really saw two giants. They look fierce and have great strength. They can even move Mount Osa."

"Okay, stop arguing and listen to Iris," Hera said suddenly. "Where did you see it?" Iris worked for her most of the time, and she knew this girl, although she was naughty. , but don’t tell lies, much better than that thief son of Zeus.

"On the way back from Delphi," said Iris with lingering fear, "they were taller than Mount Pelion. One of the giants stretched out his hand and grabbed me, threatening to say I was so scared to death that I wanted to tear off my wings, but fortunately another giant said, what's the point of catching her, if you want to catch her, you can catch her..."

Having said that, her voice lowered.

When the gods saw her saying that a nose is a nose and eyes are eyes, they believed it a little.

"Catch whoever you want? Make it clear." Heber is impatient.

Iris hesitated, and said, "The giant said that he must take Artemis back as his lover."

The gods laughed again, and the only trace of tension disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Hermes looked around among the gods, and was disappointed to find that Artemis was not there. Otherwise, with her fiery temper, she didn't know how she would be angry when she heard such words, and it was interesting to think about it.

"He has a good eye," Hephaestus laughed. "The Huntsman is indeed a very beautiful girl, but she is not very friendly to the boys. Even if they pursue her openly, they will not succeed. .”

"Besides, the two of them are still so huge. Presumably Artemis is not as tall as one of their little fingers? Even if they are snatched back, what can they do?" Aphrodite also laughed.

"That's right, you just said that there is a giant who wants to take Artemis back, but what about the other one, could it be her too?"

Hermes suddenly thought of an important question.

This time, Iris hesitated for a long time and did not answer.

The gods got excited and began to guess who the man was.

"I guess it's Athena. After all, apart from Artemis, she is one of the few virgins in the God Realm... Ah... Whoops..." Before she finished speaking, the Goddess of Wisdom punched He went over and hit the man on the jaw.

"No, no, it must be Aphrodite, who else on Mount Olympus is as beautiful as her..." The man immediately received Hera's eye knife.

"Hey, how can you guess and guess women. If I were the two brothers, I would rob a man and a woman. In this way, you can play any tricks you want, hehe."

"It makes sense, come, come, let's make a bet, which male god are they looking at..."

Iris was on the point of crying.

She had just experienced the horror of those two brothers.The enemy is almost at hand, why do these gods still have a leisurely look? Are they confident or nervous?

When they were almost done discussing, Zeus coughed.

The temple became much quieter immediately.

"Iris," the God King said softly, "You can tell who they are after. Don't be afraid, speak out boldly."

The Rainbow Goddess glanced at his side, summoned up her courage and said, "They have their eyes on the Queen of God."

With a click, the golden cup in Hera's hand was crushed into pieces.

The gods immediately silenced, and restrained their facial expressions at the same time, trying not to show a trace of ridicule, although all of them were overjoyed in their hearts.

Zeus patted the back of Hera's hand and comforted him: "Hera, don't be sad, this is not a big deal, you know, it's just two guys who don't have eyes talking big things. Of course, I will teach you a lesson Their."

After appeasing his wife, he looked at the gods and said, "Everyone has heard what Iris said. Now there are two giants who don't know where they came from, despising the authority of Olympus, of course, that is to say We are all disrespectful. Who is responsible for taking action and punishing them?"

As soon as this remark came out, the temple was even quieter than before.

All the gods and goddesses, big and small, carefully held their breath, not to mention their facial expressions, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be mistaken for brave men by Zeus.

The God King looked at this and that, and said helplessly: "What's the matter with you, aren't you very proud of yourself on weekdays. As long as any mortal dares to show the slightest disrespect to God, you will take action without hesitation. Why don't you dare to stand up when the critical moment comes?"

The gods were silent, thinking in their hearts, can giants be the same as mortals?When you competed with them for the position of God King before, didn't you spend a lot of effort to imprison them in Tartarus?What's more, these two are higher than Mount Pelion, so they are so easy to deal with.

Zeus saw that there was no one in his early years, so he had to call the roll.

"Ares, don't you like fighting very much? You get excited when you see blood and enemies. Now is your chance, and you can have a good fight."

"I just like fighting enemies with spears and shields on the battlefield, instead of throwing stones at each other with two giants," Ares replied. "This kind of play is not interesting at all."

"And Athena," Zeus asked again, "you are like a tomboy, where there is a struggle, you are there. And, my daughter, you have always been very wise, why don't you think of a way to deceive What about those two big fools?"

"No matter how good a strategy is, it takes time to plan," Athena replied calmly. "Before that, please let a few gods resist for a while. Of course, we can't count on weak people like us for this matter." girls."

Hermes burst out laughing: "This is the first time I know that you also belong to the range of 'weak' girls." Seeing that Zeus' eyes turned to him, he preemptively said: "Father, you know Yes, fighting has never been my forte. If I fight, who's going to run the errands? Iris can be unreliable sometimes."

"Hey, Hermes, what nonsense are you talking about?" The Rainbow Goddess immediately protested loudly.

Zeus glanced at Hephaestus, without asking, he also knew that this son could not be counted on, so in the end, he had to stare at Diernissus.

The God of Dionysus replied without thinking: "I can go if you want, but I have to drink more fairy wine. Otherwise, I can't beat them."

"Don't do it." Several voices stopped him at the same time.

After he finishes drinking, his strength will indeed increase greatly, but at the same time, he will also be in a state of madness. At that time, it will be even more troublesome to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.

"Oh..." Zeus sighed.The main god is unwilling to go out, let alone the other gods, not to mention, their divine power is limited, and it may not be useful to go there.

"According to me," Aphrodite said suddenly, "let's call Artemis here. She likes to fight and kill. Once she hears that the two ugly giants are playing her tricks, Definitely rushed over without even thinking about it.”

Hera immediately agreed that the bow and arrow of the Goddess of Hunting were not something anyone could withstand.Even if she and that little girl were not at odds, at critical moments, she had no choice but to let go of her prejudices.

She was about to order Hermes to go find someone, but he looked in the direction of the door and said, "No need, they have already called."

In the bright sunlight, there appeared the stumbling figures of three goddesses of timing.
