[Greek mythology] Siren

"So, what is this?" Poseidon sat on the sea, looking up at the mountain in amazement.

I don't know how high this high mountain originally turned into stone was. It pierced straight into the sky, and then disappeared into the dark clouds. With the eyesight of several gods, they couldn't see the top of the mountain.

"If I read it correctly, it is indeed a stone, or a stone wrapped in a piece of cloth..." Hera murmured, as if she was very puzzled by the appearance of the stone, "So, why did he eat it? Drop a stone?"

Wrapped it in a piece of cloth and ate it?

Xavius ​​turned his tail into legs and pulled Hades up.

"Let's go up and have a look, you guys wait below to prevent accidents." He left such a sentence.

The mountain was originally transformed from a small rock, so there was nothing on the mountain. Savis dragged Hades away for a long time, but still saw nothing.

But even if they seem to have come to the top of the mountain, in fact they can't get close to the clouds. If the clouds are the top of this space, they have already found the way out of this space. This dim cloud looks low, but even a few gods Even if he tried his best, he couldn't touch it. At this time, it was as if the two had walked on the mountain for a long time, and the clouds still kept a distance from him.

And it was precisely this situation that made them surprised by the height of this mountain.

The peak of this mountain can actually be close to the clouds, and even inserted into it. Could this be the reason why Cronus swallowed this stone?

"I didn't feel any vitality, nor any divine power." Hades said to him, "The change of this stone should be an accident, but since it can touch the clouds, it may become the key to us leaving this place in the future."

They have always believed that as long as they can get close to the clouds, they will have a better chance of getting out, but no one has succeeded for so long.

"Go to the other side and have a look." The mountain separated the coast, with the sea on one side and the land on the other. They could only see the land on one side now, but they couldn't see the land blocked by the mountain.Savis pulled Hades over the mountain from the side. Although the mountain range is long, the peaks are getting smaller and smaller. They have walked a long way before, except that they cannot reach the clouds. The peaks have become sharper.

"Huh..." After turning over, I felt something was wrong. "Hades, look." He pointed at the flora and fauna at the foot of the mountain, with an unconcealed surprise in his tone.

Before, he complained to Hades that if Cronus swallowed another child, he didn't know how this space would evolve in order to kill them, but just after he finished speaking, Cronus sent A new companion for them, but this time not a child but a stone, without any life force.The stone of power.

Although this stone has turned into a mountain, compared to a powerful and brainy god, this dead mountain will not become a threat to the animals and plants in this space at all.

But what surprised them was that at the foot of the mountain, patches of plants seemed to be poisoned and dying quickly. The animals that had rushed to the sky with the plants before were all lying on the ground, dying.

However, taking the high mountain as the non-limitation, the birds on the ocean were still circling, but the birds on the land fell to the ground one by one, and died of convulsions after a while.

"Let's go back first." Hades frowned and pulled Savis back, "Their situation is not right."

And on the way back, they noticed that the sky, which was originally bright, darkened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Recently, this space has rarely become so dark. Since the change of day and night, even in the "night", the whole sky will have a little bit of light again, but now, it seems that the light source has been destroyed. like.

"It's very similar to the sky in the past." Savis said, "The sky is like this when there is no day and night." It is always dark and gloomy, as if the sky will fall down at any time.

"You said that the plants over there died in large numbers and affected the animals?" Hestia bit his thumb and thought, "It always feels weird."

"Poseidon, is there any change in the sea?" Hera turned her head and asked.

Poseidon shook his head: "There is no change, it is still under my control."

Savis greeted everyone to return to the water: "This water area came here with me. As long as I am fine, it will not be affected too much. Since the birds and plants on the shore have died on a large scale, Then let's not leave the water for the time being, and try not to use divine power as much as possible, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia, you'd better live in the water for the time being, and don't leave the water, so that this space will not find us." He turned He looked at the high mountain on the shore, "If I'm not wrong, this high mountain may be able to help us a lot."

At the very beginning, no one knew what he meant, until one day, the sky turned a familiar red, and the gods were surprised to find that the fire did not fall on the water, and all the attacks this time went to the water. A high mountain greeted me.

Moreover, Hestia and Xavius, who lived in this space for the longest time, said with certainty that the level of this firestorm was not as good as any of the previous attacks.

"It's a bit like the first scene I encountered when I first came here." Savis leaned on Hades with his arms folded and recalled leisurely, "It always feels more like a trial or something."

"But there are already five gods in this space before this mountain. Even if this mountain is not a god, it shouldn't make the original fierce attack turn into such a harmless situation again..." To such an extent , Even if they are newborns, they can protect themselves.

"It should be that this stone didn't have any vitality when it fell in the vortex, and this space automatically judged its death, but because of habit, it will be such a fire to try to see if there will be a god. Counterattack or something." He told everyone to step back a little, they were too close to the shore before, although the fire was aimed at this mountain made of stone, it was inevitable that some fire would hit it. Come up from the sea.

"We can try it." Hera suddenly had a thought, "Even if the fire hits us later, don't use divine power to resist, let's dive into the water, if my guess is right, if this trial process There is no divine power, and the stone in this space probably judges that everything around it is dead."

After all, the self-judgment of this space, although the owner's will has given it the basis for action, but it does not have the thinking of a god, and its judgment will occasionally become rigid. They can always find loopholes, can't they?

After all, Cronus can't know what's going on in his stomach.

Savis turned over and lay down in the shell, and pulled Hades down by the way: "Let's wait below first, if there is any danger, you come down quickly." After finishing speaking, he closed the shell, and then quickly sank.

Leaving the four of them on the surface of the sea, Hades and Xavius ​​lay face to face among the shells, Xavius ​​hesitated for a moment, and said his guess: "It is very likely that Rhea used this stone to replace the A child born." The tightly wrapped cloth and the stone the size of a newborn baby forced Savus to think in this direction, "Cronus will not allow you to grow up, but As a child of him and Rhea, it is very rare that he cannot possess divine power, so Kronos will not take the risk of leaving any child behind. He should have regarded the stone as a newborn baby, and anxiously put it on the stone. It swallowed it."

"The mother probably gave birth to another child, but she protected the newborn and replaced him with a stone wrapped in cloth," Hades said. "If we guessed wrong, what do you think the situation would be? Will he swallow a rock?"

From the memory he inherited, Olympus is surrounded by flowers and the fruit trees are full of fruits. Although they are gods and don't need to eat, it doesn't mean they can't eat.

But Cronus should eat those plump fruits and rich delicacies, not a cold stone.

"Unless he has been kicked off the throne and captured, and the other side forcefully feeds him stones." Savis said, "It's not impossible. He made a lot of ridicule after he defeated Uranus."

"In that case, it would not be one stone, but many." Hades said lightly, "I still think he ate it by mistake."

"If our guess is correct, Rhea has protected a newborn, and if she is thoughtful enough, the child will grow up without Cronus knowing about it, and if Cronus knows his Even if he doesn't want to fight his father, Cronus will not let him go, he must stand up and resist, and then it will be our chance to leave here." Unless the child has found enough before them Those who resist Cronus, "Hades, do you want to get out of here?"

"I want to." Hades replied without hesitation, even faintly revealing desire in his answer.

"Huh?" It was rare to see Hades expressing his emotions, and Savis was a little surprised by this.

"I remember you said that you no longer have a godhead." Hades stretched out his hand in the dark and gently stroked his cheek, "Stay here, since you have not been discovered by it, you will eventually die one day, "Savis has been here for too long, and sometimes Hades would think, this space first destroyed Savis's godhead, then what will be taken away in the future is his life, "I want to leave Here, go outside and find you a new godhead." He said firmly.
