[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

Adonis hoped that he hadn't discovered the expectation hidden under Pluto's ruthlessness, so he might be able to continue cursing in one go, but now as long as he meets the Goddess of Beauty who opened and closed his mouth in anger and anger, he can't control it He felt that the outburst of anger just now was very funny.

Forget it.

He removed the thorns that left a dazzling bloodstain on Cupid's beautiful neck, gradually broke free from his feverish state, and calmly analyzed as much as possible: Even though Aphrodite was in a mess at the moment, she was still praised as this The existence of the most beautiful incarnation in the world is not only extremely favored by the god king, but also embraces countless lovers majestically, and is one of the indispensable main gods of Olympus.

What's more, the reason why he was able to speak quickly was just to borrow the power of Pluto, who was evenly matched with the king of gods.

Pluto was keenly aware of the subtle changes in his emotions, and asked slowly: "Is it over?"

Adonis took a deep breath and bowed his head gracefully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Hades lowered his eyes lazily, the true expression hidden in the dark green eyes was dim.He gave a noncommittal hum, and remained motionless on the surface, but kept staring at the large white and slender neck that was exposed with the movement of lowering his head, and could clearly feel the obedience of the other party from the heart.

his.

Pluto's mood, which his subordinates could not guess, inexplicably rose a little along with the corners of his lips.

Adonis never dreamed that this would be the reason. He respectfully retreated to the left rear where he was originally standing. He could only speculate from Pluto's sudden change of action that the other party was probably tired of continuing to play the bloody trick of tearing his arms. Only then will he condescend to personally take the quiver and small bow carried by Eros.

Verbal criticism can't hurt the flesh and skin.

Binding little Venus face to face with his dear mother, he then calmly took an arrow, whether it was gold or lead, and let it rest on the narrower frame set off by the broad bones of his hand. On a soft bow, the distance is so close that even aiming is unnecessary—the experienced hunter is kicked by the prey into the trap pit he set, and the bitter fruit he planted to tease others is picked off the tree and turned around, and finally returns to the original owner in the mouth.

Pluto raised his bow casually with such an attitude, and shot arrow after arrow at Aphrodite's back that was forced to be exposed.

Eros didn't know how powerful he was when he first returned, but he was tortured very quickly: the last moment he was bewitched by the power of the golden arrow, and he hated him, convinced that Eros was ugly, and wished to stay away as soon as possible; the next moment he was instigated again In the raging fire of passionate love, he has become a unique jewel in her eyes, the cutest person in the universe, just holding him in a warm palm and accompanying him every day is not enough to express this love.

She was forced to switch between cold and scorching heat like this, like unmelted snow and ice being thrown into the embrace of the blazing sun, or like scalding hot oil falling into a puddle of icy water. Ai Zhi would not make her suffer like this, her body was full of contradictions and anxiety, her delicate face lost all color, her mind was chaotic, and she couldn't escape for a moment.

"Noble Pluto, please forgive me with mercy!" Like a drowning person on the verge of drowning, she was so ashamed and angry that she clung to the precious few moments of sobriety in pain, and she, who was already weak in will, thoroughly dug into the water. Abandoning the arrogant attitude of swearing to the death and stubbornly resisting before, clenched his fists with tears in his eyes, and begged humbly: "You are the king who justly rules the vast and dead land of the underworld, and makes the captured souls rest in their final abode. Liberation of souls trapped in the trap of misery, and sweet thick juice from bees to be feared—”

From the perspective of Adonis appreciating this scene, Hades never even raised his eyelids, and Cupid's habitually lengthy prefix was only half-said, and the next arrow cluster sank into it without mercy. The delicate skin of bullying Saixue on her back caused her to fall into a quagmire-like morbid frenzy again.

From this, the plant god deeply realized the importance of keeping a concise speaking style in front of Pluto.

"Your Majesty," the quiver was about to be empty under the high-speed consumption, Adonis glanced at the quiet and peaceful sky, carefully considered, and persuaded in a gentle voice: "Delicate flowers always have neighing vipers." Guard, the dwelling of deer is infested by wolves, and the breeding ground for evil will never produce only one poisonous weed."

If you keep shooting like this, the flower protector who knows it later will come to fight desperately.

"It's okay."

Pluto said without looking back, he insisted on shooting the last remaining golden arrow at Aphrodite, released her from the imprisonment, and watched with satisfaction the glamorous God of Cupid hugging her like a madman. kissing the unconscious parent and child.

Adonis tentatively said, "Then..." Now?

Hades didn't answer his question directly, and threw away the empty quiver and small bow. Looking at the ugly God of beauty, and at the plant god with clear eyes and charming temperament, he suddenly felt very natural. He grabbed Adonis' hand hanging by his side.

This overly intimate gesture made Adonis completely unresponsive, and was dragged away for several steps before he barely stabilized his staggering figure, with a foggy head, adapting to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

"O Hades, my beloved brother, what drove you, who had nothing to do with joy, to leave your prosperous and dull business, to sit on the secret throne of Hades next to the sinful captives of Tartarus, and not to favor The battlefield, and spend the rare leisure time under the bright daylight?" A loud and powerful voice sounded suddenly.

At the same time, the figure of the God King in charge of the sky also appeared in the sky.

The ageless and ageless god always shows off his most proud handsome face, so as to capture the hearts of ignorant beauties and lure them to offer their treasured pure and pure jade.

Locked by those sharp eyes like a falcon, Adonis pressed his back like a thorn, pursed his lips uneasily, and reflexively withdrew his clenched hand, but instead of letting go, Pluto squeezed it again calmly , causing him to eat a painful "噫" sound.

The god king sitting on a high place had a panoramic view of this small interaction, and he couldn't get a reply from his always indifferent and taciturn elder brother. He was not annoyed even though he had a plan in mind, and laughed to himself, while still being presumptuous. Staring at the God of Plants, he teased his unsmiling elder brother jokingly: "When did you become a friend of the green grass? Even the harsh neighing of crows did not make the stern brows gather. Could the fragrance overflowing from the cypress tree Is the majestic Pluto really happy?"

The other meaning in the tone of the god king, coupled with the coercion that was deliberately released, made Adonis, who was hinted at by the words just now, frowned uncomfortably, and couldn't help but move a little behind the extremely calm Pluto. small step.

With a cold expression, Hades slowly stroked the black gemstone on the scepter, and suddenly said, "Come down."

"Since it's my brother's request, then I will definitely accept it." Zeus jumped down from the cloud without hesitation, and Adonis felt the pressure was greatly reduced, and this obvious protective posture also made Zeus more sure that he had found it. This is the flaw of the elder brother who seems invulnerable at first glance, but whose strength is unpredictable.

He suggested with a more playful smile: "Now that you have the time to listen to the birds singing, why don't you give up the dullness of walking alone—"

"Listen," Hades interrupted him mercilessly, and pointed out the true identity of his hypocritical brother: "I don't spend my days like a sheep frightened by a giant emerging from the ground."

Long before the actual commotion, he had heard of that untimely feast, at which the singers charged with appeasing the gods lowered the giants to make them more valiant, indulging in the beauty of self-satisfaction. Unexpectedly by the gods, this deeply angered Tiphous, the brave and fearless son of the earth who was sleeping.

The giant suddenly appeared in the world and hunted down violently. The gods who were indulging in joy were frightened out of their wits and fled in embarrassment. As a result, it was useless to hide in the flooded Nile River.

The wandering Tiphous trampled the land that had lost its asylum, overthrew the cities that humans worked so hard to build, the intestines that slipped out of the broken belly slipped to the ground, and the blood dripping from the pool spread to the sea.The creatures living above are trembling, but the gods who bullied and bullied the weak in the past are afraid of it that provokes its wrath, and think they are noble, and they are not happy to fight it. In the end, Triangle Island stepped forward and killed it It suppressed it, and only temporarily calmed down this swift and violent disaster.

It's just that its violent struggle turned the peaceful and orderly underworld into a pond fish that was affected by disasters. It was disturbed for no reason, but at the moment it was just dormant, and while it was recharging its energy, it secretly planned to overthrow the shackles.

If other people dared to mention this shameful humiliation that Zeus wanted to bury deep in the ground so that it would never see the light of day, they would definitely be regarded as ridiculed, and the god king would be furious.Under the ground is the territory of Hades, who is in charge of another third of the universe. At this time, the threat that his brother spit out rigidly made the god king with a stiff face completely unable to refute.

"Since you're here, don't forget to take away the mother and child who are causing trouble." Pluto's eyes are sharp, and there are deep edges and corners on his gloomy and handsome face, as if he had been cut by Hephaestus's skillful hands: "Otherwise I also won't clean up the mess you left behind, leaving it to continue doing evil."

"This is really a great consolation," Zeus said angrily, turning his gaze away, and said absent-mindedly, "Oh! My dear brother, if there is nothing I can do, even though I have endless troubles, I don't want to bring this disgraceful scandal to myself. You, who should stay away from trifles, are open and honest. On that day, the giants soaked in dust and billowing smoke broke in shamelessly and disrespectfully, desecrating the sacred gathering, sneaking sneakily, avoiding the possibility of a dignified confrontation, This most despicable and shameless crime does not deserve to be forgiven—”

Pluto couldn't bear to listen to his pretentious nonsense, and directly confirmed: "Deal?"

At this time, the King of God behaved worthy of the thunder and lightning he was in charge of, and quickly stopped talking, more eager than the lightning that followed the thunder: "I am very happy."

"Finish?" Hades said unceremoniously, "Go away."

"...Then see you next time."

Even though the city is very deep, after all, he was not so shameless that he could insist on staying even if he was expelled explicitly. Zeus laughed back angrily, and bid farewell to his cold-faced brother by maintaining his graceful demeanor to the end.

Only then did he have the time to notice the fat-armed and short-legged Aizi who was intoxicated, kissing and hugging blindly, the abnormally mental Eros.
