Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

The twists and turns of the road to becoming a god

"I don't quite understand the conversation between Carlos and the God of Beauty."

In X Academy, Scott lowered his head and said in thought: "Carlos said not to become a god, but isn't he a god?"

"Although I don't understand it, I'm not very surprised by it."

The Iceman said casually: "How can he look like a god since he was a child?"

"Actually, I've never heard that there is a god of reproduction on Mount Olympus." Thor interrupted suddenly.

"Before I watched "Sherlock", I never thought that a long face can be so handsome!" Nightcrawler said.

Cold field.

Unfortunately, apart from Carlos who grew up with him, very few people can get the cold joke of this blue-skinned little devil.

"Uh……"

Kurt looked at everyone, raised his three-fingered paw in embarrassment and explained: "I mean, it's not surprising that I haven't heard of it. After all, you live in different places, just like in two countries, isn't it? A circle."

Thor continued to stare at him blankly.

Scott had no choice but to push the little devil to the other side speechlessly, and brought the topic back: "I don't understand, Saul. Carlos has always claimed to be the god in charge of reproduction, and he is indeed capable... "

"Yes, he has divine power, but he should not have a formal priesthood."

Saul gave the answer neatly: "Actually, when I first came to the atrium, I found out that his situation is a bit strange. But I thought it was his fate of a kind of experience, honing his body and mind. .However, looking at it now, it may be a bit strange. Don't you think that he has supernatural power, but he is too weak in normal use? This is because he is unable to do what he wants. "

"Uh... the professor has told him several times, but he is lazy, never pays attention, does not train, and does not study."

Qin couldn't help but say.

Saul glanced at her wordlessly, and explained to himself: "For the gods, many things are innate instincts, and there is no need to train and learn. But Carlos' situation is quite special. He has power. But because there is no priesthood, the power cannot be used openly..."

"How could this be?"

Nightcrawler Kurt was surprised and immediately complained for Carlos: "That's his power, isn't it? Why don't you let him use it?"

"There is no reason, the law is like this." Saul replied.

"Then our question comes out, why doesn't he have a priesthood?" Scott asked directly.

"I don't know," Thor said. "Who knows what those wild fellows on Mount Olympus are thinking all day long!"

"Okay, ignore this question for now, next one!" Scott asked calmly, "How to become a god?"

Thor fell silent.

Then, he raised his head and said in a strange tone: "Sorry, this topic is a bit dangerous."

Scott raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him suspiciously.

Sol said calmly: "I don't think you should ask, because this is not something that mortals should know."

"Hey, who do you think you are? We're here for Carlos!" Pyro, who had always been grumpy, was instantly annoyed.

He stood up, kicked the table and said, "Ghosts want to become gods! Do you think you are great? Return to mortals! Since you look down on mortals, go back to your divine domain."

"John!" The Iceman hurriedly grabbed his arm to stop him from continuing.

Saul was clearly displeased.

He didn't have any malicious intentions just now, but this bold and somewhat arrogant son of Odin naturally didn't bother to explain anything specifically.

"Saul." Warren, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Are we still friends?"

The blond-haired Thor turned his head with a complicated expression, but he still nodded affirmatively: "Of course, we are friends."

"I'm not interested in becoming a god." Warren said quickly, "I just want to find Carlos. Do you believe me?"

Saul stared at him deeply, nodded again: "I believe."

"So, what can you tell me?"

Warren asked eagerly: "Say what you can! Tell me some clues, some ways to help me find Carlos, and let you find that damn Loki yourself!"

"Don't say that about Loki..." Thor protested displeasedly, and then he was silent for a while again.

In the end, he reluctantly agreed: "I have a guess, you can follow me to find it."

the other end,

"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Carlos covered his head and shouted loudly: "You are a majestic legal system, and you actually took the staff to hit the sap!"

"The important thing is not the process, but the result." Loki lifted his pointed chin triumphantly.

He patted Carlos on the head: "Listen, I don't care what you think, but I have already negotiated a deal with your noble goddess mother. Don't hinder me, otherwise, I don't know if I will Do something you don't want to see!"

"Then I will definitely start praying from now on."

"Yes, I pray that our plan goes well..."

"Pray that all diseases will befall you, such as colds, rotten eyes and bad liver, asthma and cancer, there is no medicine to cure them, and they will never heal for life!"

"Shut up! How dare you..."

"Children, it seems that you have developed a good relationship."

Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty, descended from the sky, she was full of smiles, the previous 'sad' emotion had long since disappeared on her face, although her soft blond hair hadn't been pulled up again, but it was hanging on one side of her cheeks, not quite lazy style.

Then, Eros flew across the sky like an arrow like a big bird, covered with golden wings, and landed lightly.

"My beloved brother..."

He stepped forward to persuade him sincerely: "Since this is the result in front of you, why don't you accept our kindness? Even the goddess of fate can't tell the future clearly, so why not cherish the present."

At this moment, Loki shut his mouth decisively.

He watched wisely, but said nothing, and stood on the other side with a false smile.

Carlos scratched his head in distraught.

But I have to say that the repeated persuasion of his mother and brother really shook his heart.

"Honey, don't worry about anything else, let's take a look at the temple that really belongs to you!"

Aphrodite shrewdly seized the opportunity immediately, and she suddenly proposed something that was enough to seduce Carlos.

Yes, temples.

Before that, Carlos had never had a temple of his own.

'Just go and have a look, it's nothing. Carlos couldn't help thinking like this after hearing what his mother said.

This feeling... is probably similar to that of a person who works hard every day to rent a house and suddenly receives a real estate certificate for a new house. Even though he knows he shouldn't have it, he can't help it...

The wise mother didn't say anything, but immediately took her son's hand.

She smiled and led Carlos through a lush vegetation jungle to a brand new temple with a dignified appearance.

The moment they stepped on the steps, the door of the temple opened automatically, as if to welcome the arrival of the master.

The bald high priest Imerton, who hadn't seen him for a long time, looked at Carlos from a distance in front of the altar, and smiled happily.

He suddenly stepped forward and said in an exaggerated tone, "My venerable Carlos! You are finally here."

Carlos immediately looked at his mother and brother with a toothache expression: "Why is he here?"

"Your temple must have your priests, of course!"

Aphrodite also simply commented as a matter of course: "Although the appearance does not meet my aesthetics, but the figure is still good. I really didn't expect you to choose such a first priest."

Imerton couldn't help showing an aggrieved expression.

A bald man looked at him with grievances in his eyes. Carlos held his head in pain, thinking that he must have been beaten by Loki's sap.

Loki, the 'culprit', wisely continues to pretend he doesn't exist.

With a smile on his face, he followed behind Aphrodite with an incomparably natural expression...

Fortunately, Aphrodite may have the same face, but it is still fair.

She helped the high priest who was not liked by Carlos, and explained with a smile: "Imorton is very capable. After I gave the oracle, he worked hard and built this temple for you day and night. . So far, it’s not bad.”

"It is my honor to serve God Carlos." The high priest replied happily.

Carlos casually glanced left and right at the wall, on which was carved his own holy object, the exquisite pomegranate tree.

He had to admit that in some respects, the High Priest was really careful.

But there's something even more surprising...

"Peter, why are you here?" Carlos shouted in surprise.

"Good question, I really want to know." Peter shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I just yawned in class, closed my eyes for a while, and disappeared in place, opened my eyes, and appeared here ...I guess everyone in the classroom must be scared to death by me."

"He is your second priest, Carlos! At such an important moment, if he is not here, how can he be there?" Before Carlos could answer, Eros took a step forward and said suddenly.

Then, he gave Peter a stern look, and turned to teach his younger brother patiently: "My dear, you are a little too indulgent to the people under your hands. If the priests don't serve the gods well, what use do you need them?" Woolen cloth?"

These words really make sense.

Carlos pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Said that he didn't take Imerton as a subordinate at all?Or is it that he and Peter are actually good friends?

forget it!Eros, who thinks divinely, is never comprehensible.

At this time, Carlos has faintly realized that he really seems to have no way to refuse the request of his mother and brother again.

Everything is ready, just a step away...

Next, no one asked his opinion again.

From this moment, everyone has entered the state, he is like a symbol, just stand aside obediently, wait for everyone to deal with the matter, take out the crown, and crown him.

Imerton actively directed the group of little skeletons to bring sumptuous sacrifices.

If anyone wants Carlos to become a god the most, he will definitely rank among the top three. I don't know what Aphrodite said to this guy. His energetic appearance is really admirable.

Among the offerings, a white cow's head was placed in the center of the plate.

The glamorous Aphrodite personally held the fine wine in the golden cup and poured the wine between the two horns of the cow... Then, she performed a sacrificial dance for her son.

These days, anyone who wants to become a god, apart from being born well and having a background, must have some decent achievements.

Even with a strong background like Apollo, he has long been determined to be the existence of the sun god, and he built his first temple only after killing the giant python Pitong; in addition, he has completed twelve items Hercules, who is "impossible to complete the task", has gone through hardships and had a rough life. After his death, he was recognized by the gods and became the God of Hercules by virtue of his great achievements.

In this regard, Aphrodite can be said to have some experience.

As for the source of experience... Here, another half-brother of Carlos must be mentioned—Aeneas, the son of Goddess of Beauty and Prince Anchises of Troy.

During the period when the gods did not step into the vast interstellar space of the universe, but were active on the earth...

The Egyptian gods have not yet fallen asleep, and the Nordic gods also have their own territory. When the gods of each system are bored, they often compete with each other for territory.

Of course, even the earth has become dismissive for them with broad horizons.

But in the past period, some small places that are given to them for nothing now often cause very fierce competition.For example, Dionysus, the god of wine, once made an expedition to India and achieved brilliant success.

During that period, fierce wars often broke out between gods and gods, between humans and humans, and between humans and gods.

Among them, the most famous and wonderful battle between man and god belongs to the well-known Trojan War.

Perhaps, it can also be called 'a tragedy caused by an apple'. 【Note 1】During the Trojan War, the Greek coalition forces finally cleverly used the Trojan horse trick, causing Troy to be destroyed and defeated.

Therefore, on the bright side, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty who stood on the side of the Trojans from beginning to end and supported Troy's victory, should have suffered a small loss in this line-up and competition of the gods.

But if we continue to pay attention to the follow-up, we will find that Aeneas, the son of Prince Troy and the god of beauty, was also involved in the battle of Troy at that time. way of escape.

At the same time, it also started his glorious life.

Aeneas has experienced countless epic battles. With his heroic spirit, he defeated Turnus and founded Rome.In those years, this was a great feat of 'opening up the territory'!

And it was because of this feat that he was led by Aphrodite who was riding a white dove, climbed Mount Olympus, and became a god.

It sounds simple, but it is not an easy thing to do.

In this cruel war in Troy, there were countless descendants of gods. The most famous hero, Achilles, was the son of the sea goddess, but even he could not escape the fate of death.However, Aeneas on the defeated side escaped from the battlefield smoothly under Aphrodite's schemes all the way, and finally became a god.

Among them, although there are their own struggles, the help of mother Aphrodite is absolutely indispensable.

The specific process will not be mentioned for the time being, but judging from the results of this incident, the Goddess of Beauty, who seems to have suffered a little loss because of the Trojan War, is actually the ultimate winner of this war.Not only did she get herself the golden apple that symbolizes the "most beautiful goddess", but even her son Aeneas, born to Prince Troy, seized the opportunity and successfully became a god.

As for Troy, whether it perishes or not, in a way, has nothing to do with her at all.

After the city of Troy was broken, she deliberately pretended to be wronged, and cried in front of Hera and Athena, so that these two competitors who "competed for the golden apple" felt that they had come out with satisfaction. Don't be angry, and never embarrass her again.

But in fact, she didn't care about Troy at all.

Her son and beauty are where she lives and works.

Now, after Aeneas, she once again plots for her youngest son.

Compared with the mortal body of Aeneas, it is much easier for Carlos to become a god.

He has a divine body and divine power in his body, but he is not recognized by the god king Zeus.

But in fact, if the law of heaven and earth recognizes him, even if the god king does not recognize him, it will not be able to stop him from becoming a god.

And let the law of heaven and earth admit it... If you are still on Mount Olympus, you will naturally have no way to surpass Zeus and worship the sky privately.

But in this parallel time and space, he can completely escape Zeus's control, gain the recognition of the law by virtue of his meritorious deeds, and thus become a god.

As for the Nordic gods in this time and space, the shrewd God of Beauty also made detailed countermeasures.

First, she and Eros tried to shield Heimdall's eyes so that the Aesirs could not see what happened in the courtyard for a short time; second, act as low-key as possible, using Odin's neglect of the earth to buy time , help Carlos become a god as soon as possible; finally, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Eros personally contacted Loki, promised a marriage contract, and the control of the other half of the earth in exchange for his support.

As for the last difficulty, Carlos doesn't have any achievements worth offering to the heavens...

Aphrodite felt that it was not a problem at all, she could make up a merit!

The truth of the facts should be: the gods left the earth, and the earth in this space should be attributed to the Nordic god Odin, but it was not taken seriously, and the gods have long since neglected it.

But the smart and bold Aphrodite used the saying "recover the origin of the gods, and make the origin of the gods reappear in the glory of the gods" when offering sacrifices to the heavens. The experience of fighting monsters.

Seriously, Carlos himself felt so ashamed.

Although he is very narcissistic, he was quite embarrassed to be praised repeatedly because of something he hadn't done. I haven't fought with any eagles... and giants, I've never seen giants..."

Eros gently covered his mouth with his hand, and put his fingers between his lips with a smile: "Shhh!"

Carlos had no choice but to shut up.

After Aphrodite prayed devoutly to heaven and earth, she ordered Imerton to take Carlos to wash away all mortal things in a nearby river.

"I prefer to shower with a water heater," Carlos muttered.

But because of his mother's order, he had to obey.

Immediately afterwards, the goddess, who looked more and more solemn, applied a strange ointment to Carlos with her slender and graceful hands, and also dabbed fairy dew and honey wine on his lips, making him calm down. lying in the center of the temple.

Eros took out the harp inlaid with gold, compiled Carlos's "merits" into a song, and sang earnestly and intently.

Aphrodite continued to dance the sacrificial dance for Carlos tirelessly.

Emerton also put on a pious look and prayed silently.

Even Loki stood aside very cooperatively, although he didn't do anything helpful, at least he didn't do any damage.

Only Spider-Man Peter...

He watched stupidly the whole time, feeling as if he had arrived at the scene of some great cult.

As time passed, a hazy golden light emanated from the sky, and the clouds pressed down low.

If someone can look at the earth from a distance, they will find that with Carlos as the center, patches of green are spreading outward. This is the day when all things are revived, the grass grows and warblers fly, and countless animals are ecstatic...

"Is this the divine power of life?"

Loki caressed the mind gem inlaid on the staff, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, muttering to himself: "Interesting."

The golden light became more and more dazzling, as if it was a living thing, and gradually gathered over the temple, sometimes turning into a pomegranate tree, sometimes turning into a rabbit, or a lemming...

At this moment, Carlos felt extremely mysterious, his soul seemed to be struggling violently in his body, and was strongly attracted to the golden light above, like a tug-of-war.

He knew instinctively that the soul must never leave the body.But the attraction of that beam of golden light was too great. In the vagueness, it seemed to see Warren standing in the center, smiling and waving towards him.

Fortunately, Eros, who was always paying attention to his younger brother's movements, had a serious expression, and with a timely hook of his fingers, the beautiful harp sounded suddenly, which cleared Carlos' mind.

This tug of war continued for a long time...

Slowly, the beam of golden light finally stopped struggling and landed lightly towards Carlos as if giving up.

A smile of joy flashed across Aphrodite's face, and Eros' piano sound also brought a bit of joyful lightness.

Imerton remained calm, and Peter continued to maintain the bewildered face of 'my friend seems to be going to heaven'.

As for Loki, at the moment when the golden light beam was about to fall, his figure atomized and disappeared again.

When he reappeared, he happened to be standing between the golden beam and Carlos.

"Loki!" Aphrodite and Eros were furious at the same time.

Most of the golden light disappeared into Loki's body in an instant, leaving only some remnants, which were sparsely melted into Carlos' body.

Loki held the staff in his hand, squatted on one side, and seemed to feel it for a few seconds with his head lowered.

Then, he slowly raised his head, showing an evil smile: "Thank you!"
