[Greek mythology] Siren

Zeus stood beside Rhea, looking at Cronus who was passed out on the wine table, his expression was a little cautious, he didn't dare to speak, but just quietly waited for Cronus's reaction, as if he was afraid that if he spoke If he does, Cronus will be woken up by him.

In fact, he didn't have to worry at all. Cronus was asleep and grunted from time to time. Zeus and Rhea stood together without daring to breathe.

After a while, I saw Kronos turn over and lay on the floor. There was a strange change in his stomach. It seemed that there was a bubble or something, and he kept rolling, as if there was a meat ball in his stomach. It was bouncing up and down inside, and they could see a round thing popping out of Kronos' belly, and then sinking in.

Rhea patted her son's hand: "After they come out, you will do it," she pointed at Cronus, "kill him."

Rhea pursed her lips and looked at Cronus. She felt that this scene was so similar. They also treated Uranus in the same way back then. Standing in front of Uranus, they aimed at Uranus' life.

Back then, Gaia stood beside her son Cronus and killed her husband, but now, she is also standing beside her son Zeus, trying to kill her husband as well.

"Don't let him say anything, Zeus," she urged, "It was because he didn't strike hard enough that Uranus made the prophecy."

The oracle is hard to violate, especially the oracle given by the god king with all his divine power. It is said to be an oracle, but it is actually no different from a curse.

Zeus nodded, becoming more vigilant as Cronus' abdomen changed.

At the same time, in another space, Hestia and the others watched the crack grow bigger and bigger. In order to fight against it, this space even gave up being their enemy and concentrated all attacks on those cracks. A strange situation appeared in the crack for a while, the sky was lightning and thunder, the sea was calm, and the entire space was almost divided into two parts horizontally.

"This is your chance." Xavius ​​looked at the situation in the sky, and then at the mountain that was constantly collapsing. "You must take this opportunity to leave here as soon as possible."

"Wait a little longer." Hestia had to raise the volume, because the "fight" in the sky had reached a feverish stage, and the sound of bombing came from all directions, covering their voices, "Savis, there is an external force Destroy this space, we will help that external force, and then we will take you out."

Hera whipped away the cloud that fell from the sky, and the cloud hit the high mountain, instantly blasting that mountain into a cave: "Hades, take care of Xavius, we will force our way out when the time comes."

"It's too late." Savis smiled wryly, his hands were still trembling, but he raised them uncontrollably, "Hera, you have to remember that if you want to do something, you must never rely on others. Know whether that external force can help us, and if you want to do something, you must be determined, no matter what you sacrifice—just like what Uranus did..."

His voice became lower and lower, and Hera couldn't hear it anymore, but she could see Xaviz's actions, and she screamed: "Xaviz, what are you doing, come back quickly."

"I..." Xavius ​​watched a pure golden light shine from his hand, and then the light shot straight into the sky, "I can't do it... Uranus is impatient... Woo..."

That was his last power. This power had given him countless help when he was trapped in this space. In the end, it still became a sharp weapon to harvest his life.

"See you next time, huh?" He turned around with difficulty, kissed Hades on the lips, and said coquettishly.

Hades hugged him tightly, buried his head in his ear, like a child, no matter what he said, he didn't let go.

However, the beam of golden light immediately surrounded Xavius ​​after reaching the sky, and before Hades had no time to react, he broke free from Hades' arms and took Xavius ​​straight into the sky.

Hades's eyes seemed to be covered with blood at that moment, he shrunk the shells away, followed Xavius ​​and rushed to the sky, not forgetting to yell to Hestia: "Let's go!" .”

Hestia followed closely behind him, but saw him heading towards the ray of light surrounding Xavius.

Xavius ​​curled up his body and gasped for breath. How gentle the blessing was when it entered his body back then, and how painful it is now when it is pulled away bluntly. That is the extreme contrast.

His whole body was trembling, and Uranus's insolent laughter sounded in his ears, it was the pleasure of getting revenge, and the surroundings seemed to be ignited in vain, and he couldn't help screaming out— —Once the divine power supporting him leaves the body, the soul will face the doom of being corrupted by this space.

But the whole ray of light enveloped him, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"It's the voice of Xavis." The scream almost overwhelmed the roaring thunder, and everyone was terrified when they heard it.

Hades had already caught up to the ray of light, but couldn't enter. Seeing that the light was about to hit those cracks, Hades gritted his teeth, concentrated his strength on his hand, covered his hand, and stretched out his hand forcibly. Into the light, blood flowed from his hand and dripped on the cloud below, which was covered in black in an instant, and Hades smashed something at the moment when the golden light collided with the crack. Something pulled from the light.

The golden light hit a crack around the top of the mountain, and they heard Xavius's distorted screams, which were then cut off abruptly.

The moment his voice was interrupted, there was a deafening sound in the sky, and the clouds were pushed down by unknown gravity. The mountain peak suddenly exploded, and the energy generated rolled the entire sky together, and Poseidon fell down. After a glance, the originally vast and boundless ocean was shrinking and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Savus is no more.

This realization made Poseidon take a deep breath. He was born too short a time. This was the first time he faced death, or the death of a companion who lived with him day and night. After he left here, he also experienced countless times. The flames of war took countless lives, but no one's death could bring him such heartache.

Even Hera couldn't help covering her eyes with her hands, and her sobs were mixed with her sighs.

"Go." Hades still said the same sentence, he looked at the sky and said, "The vortex has appeared, and the passage to leave here has been opened, let's go."

The explosion of that mountain and the impact of Savis' divine power finally made the vortex leading to the outside world he said before appear, but this space is spontaneously repairing this "loophole". If they don't open it as soon as possible, they will be destroyed again. stuck here.

The ocean is gone, they may not be able to support the next "coincidence", and there is no second Savus to pave the way for them.

Poseidon wanted to reprimand him for not responding to the death of Xavius, but when he turned to Hades, he saw that his hand that had been stretched into the golden light was bloody, and the opened flesh You could faintly see bones, but he acted like a normal person, with his hand still hanging down, he was holding tightly the shrunken Xavis shell that he just brought up from the sea with his other hand , and in his eyes, a drop of thick blood was slowly rolling down.

Poseidon felt that no amount of blame could be uttered, so he could only watch Hades rushing towards the vortex in a daze: "I'll go there first to see if there is any problem, you follow me, Poseidon you Stay at the back to prevent accidents."

However, his voice was steady, no different from usual, if he hadn't seen his appearance just now, Poseidon would have thought that he couldn't wait to leave here, and he was indifferent to Xavius' death.

Poseidon gritted his teeth: "Let's go." The ocean could no longer cover them. He could clearly see the plants on the ground multiplying wildly and coming up. Leaving the passage, and then jumping in himself.

……

Cronus was awakened by the pain.

The abnormal pain in his stomach made his drunkenness go away in an instant, and he almost screamed and jumped up: "What's going on... Rhea, Rhea?"

But he soon saw his wife standing in front of him, hearing his words but didn't make any movements.

And there was another person standing beside her,

"Who are you...who are you?" He roared and wanted to kill the person standing next to his wife, but he couldn't stand still because of the sharp pain. It was not the pain acting on him, but more like hitting his soul.

"Ouch..." Something seemed to surge up, he didn't care about finding someone to settle the score, but couldn't help retching.

Something was rampaging in the stomach, and then moved from the stomach to the chest, and then to the throat.

It was too late for Kronos to realize what it was. A ray of light came out of his mouth and turned into a man after landing. The man had long black hair, his eyes were soaked in blood, and his face was extremely indifferent. One hand was bloody and bloody, and the other hand was clutching something tightly.

With the appearance of the first person, the second and third appeared. It was not until the three women and two men stood on the hall with the light that Cronus’s pain disappeared, but the severe pain disappeared. The medicine that Gaia tricked and drank before is still working: "You are not dead, you are not dead," he said crazily and fiercely, but there is still a faint sense of fear in this madness, "No! No," he suddenly laughed, "he's dead, as long as he's dead you won't be able to threaten me, he's dead." An arrogant voice suddenly came from the sky above Olympus.

Kronos and Rhea's expressions changed.

It was the voice of Uranus, who had disappeared for many years.

"His mission has been completed, he has sent these children to you, haven't you reacted yet, hahahahahahahahahaha..." Uranus sneered.

Cronus finally understood that the so-called "help from the second god born in the ocean" was actually helping the children he swallowed in his stomach not to die until he found a way to send them out.

And Rhea felt uneasy because of the almost cursed prophecy of Uranus, she gritted her teeth and said to Zeus: "Do it." Zeus shot very quickly, they knew that to kill a god, It was not enough to seriously injure him, but also to destroy his godhead.

But when Zeus shot and his brothers and sisters subconsciously covered him, a ray of light rushed in from outside the temple and hit Zeus's hand hard.

Zeus' attack was missed, only in time to wound Cronus.

"Who?" He turned his head to look outside the temple, where a woman with a solemn face stood outside the temple, staring at him for a moment.

"Mother." Rhea's voice mixed with guilt sounded.

Gaia walked into the temple slowly, her voice was not angry but majestic, noble but repulsive: "I drove Uranus away because he was too cruel, today you and your children are going to drive Kronor away S, is there a reason?"

Rhea was taken aback by the questioning, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
