[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Diana walked up to the high platform step by step, and lightly touched Apollo's arm with her fingertips.

Fiery and hot, it is by no means the cold world she created.

How could he? ...

Apollo suddenly stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, blocked Iapetus' eyes with his back, and kissed her deeply on the lips.

It is still the soft and sweet taste in memory, but it seems as long as it has been separated for thousands of years.

"That's what you told me...isn't it?" He pressed his forehead against her and asked in a hoarse voice.

She nodded, and suddenly wanted to cry.

"Don't worry, baby." Apollo's rustling voice echoed in the cold world of the moon, revealing the warmth of sunshine, "You did a great job, really great."

He finally knew why Diana always looked at him with worried eyes.

I finally know why Diana always forces him to learn this and that when he becomes a human.

I finally know why...why Diana's temperament suddenly changed...

Apollo's kiss gradually moved up, sucking away the crystal drops of water from the corners of her eyes.

"Leave everything to me, okay?" He whispered to her, picked her up and put her on the empty seat of the sun god.

Apollo walked to the high platform again, looked at the dumbfounded Iapetus, and said nothing.

The surrounding temples began to shatter, cracking layer by layer like a glass cover, rattling in layers.The gods maintained the same expression strangely, cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the body, and finally shattered like glass.Diana turned her head to the side, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes without a trace; when she turned her head again, her eyes were as soft and clear as usual.

Apollo crossed his arms and looked at Iapetus coldly, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.

Iapetos staggered two steps, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but roared almost crazily: "Is this your purpose? Ha - Apollo, the sun god, Diana, the moon god - okay , very good!" He glared at Apollo viciously, grabbed another quill from the collar of his clothes, and angrily wrote on the scroll of order...

No, he didn't succeed.

Apollo's five fingers were like eagle claws, firmly clamping his hand, and the other hand took the quill, and in front of Iapetus, wrote word by word on the scroll of order:

——The sun is not the center of the world.

——Every star is a burning sun!

—The endless stars make up the endless night...

Iapetus' face gradually paled.

His thin body trembled uncontrollably, like a thin chicken under Apollo's grip.The quill in Apollo's hand kept writing, and Iapetus kept trembling...Diana gradually stood up, holding the scepter in her hand, and swiped slowly from left to right, beside her. A layer of thick silver light was cast.

The shattered world began to recover, as if time was gradually turning back, pieces of broken glass were rebonded into temples, pillars, night sky, stars... and even gods with different postures.Iapetos was already drenched in sweat, but he didn't show any fear, not even a little panic.

Apollo was still concentrating on writing on the scroll, one by one golden characters slowly spread out on the scroll, powerful and majestic, slightly emitting a fiery light.As the speed at which he wrote gradually accelerated, Iapetos' face became paler and paler.Diana gradually opened her eyes, slightly loosened her hand holding the scepter, and looked at Apollo's tall and straight back, pursing her lips and smiling.

As long as he is there, all problems can be easily solved, right?

It seems that I should also speed up...

Diana gave Apollo a deep look, turned and walked out of the temple.

The whole world has been completely restored, from the bright moon in the sky to the small grass on the ground, every bit and every drop is shining like shattered ice.The clear moonlight poured down, covering the human world with a layer of transparent veil.She casually placed the scepter outside the temple, her hands seemed to be holding something, and she slammed it to the sides——

After two chirps, it was as if a layer of veil was pulled away, and the whole world was rolled up in the picture scroll.

Diana took one last look at the Temple of Order and walked out of the crack.

One step out, is another world.

The fog in the temple is still pervasive, and the moonlight gems in the four corners are still shining brightly.All the gods leaned crookedly on the throne. As for Iapetus, he had already held a quill and fell asleep under the scroll of order.

Yes, she used those four moonlight gemstones to create a powerful dream.

Just like Apollo did last time, pull a powerful enemy into the dream of his own creation, and then defeat him.

Apollo is still discussing the composition of the world with Iapetus in a dream, and she herself has more important things to do.

Before the gods woke up, she wanted to tell them what she knew about the real world.

As for how much the gods can accept...

Diana felt that she had done her best.

She looked around and finally found the location of the three goddesses of order.They are leaning under the throne of Athena, sorting out the latest scrolls for the goddess of wisdom.

Diana lightly took the key from the goddess of order, turned around and walked outside the temple, ignoring Hera's wide-open eyes, and locked the door with two clicks.

Four beams of bright moonlight burst out from the palm of her hand, and the light of the moonlight gem became brighter and brighter.

"In this world, there are too many things we don't understand. For example, the sun, such as the starry sky..."

"What I want to tell you today is the original truth about this world."

"Remember what I once told you, the power of mutual attraction between all things?"

"Now we start with this power..."

Diana's voice is very soft and slow, trying to start from the most simple and understandable part.Apollo had once told her that no god would consider himself inferior to another unless he had been given a blow in the face.

"His Highness the Sun God has sorted out some logic and theories related to mathematics. Have you all read them? ... Goddess of Wisdom, my dear sister, please come here, I need your help."

With the ups and downs of her voice, Athena gradually raised her drooping head, stood up, and walked towards her step by step.

A smile flashed in Diana's eyes.

Athena looks very much like... sleepwalking...

"Come here, please." Diana held out her hand to her.

The goddess of wisdom raised her hand softly and put it in her palm, but her eyes were still closed.

"Now please tell me, how much do you understand what I just said? How much do you, Zeus, and other gods understand the mathematical foundation explained by Apollo?"

The Goddess of Wisdom muttered to herself, her voice was very low, like talking in sleep, but Diana could hear it very clearly.

Sure enough, as Apollo said, no god would think that he is inferior to others.

Therefore, when the mathematics level of the Milesian School reached its peak, the mathematics of the God Realm also reached another peak.

but……

However, even if they admit that Apollo was right, they still don't think they are wrong.Especially Athena, she has always believed that "ideas are the source of all things".

Diana frowned, deliberately ignoring the subtle unease welling up in her heart, and said in the softest voice: "Then please deduce the most suitable operating rules for this world on paper. Remember, just like Apollo As His Highness said, simplicity and unity are the most fundamental things in this world."

Where is the self-contradiction of the geocentric theory?

After thinking for a long time, Diana finally focused on the orbit of the celestial body.

She remembered that the great astronomer once said that the trajectories of stars should not be too complicated.

After Apollo made a real celestial body model and drew a real celestial body movement diagram because of boredom, she vaguely understood one point: the most contradictory part of the earth center theory is that the orbits of celestial bodies are too complicated and too complex. not neat.

"Order is the order of the whole world and should be observed by the whole world. 'The earth is the center of the world'. The most contradictory thing is that it is impossible to find a 'tidy' rule that allows all celestial bodies, no matter Whether it's the sun, the moon, the stars, or something else... all obey this 'tidy' rule."

"As the main god, you should be able to solve this problem easily, right?"

She spoke eloquently, her voice like a soft cloud.Theories forced on the gods are the executioners who drive them to silence.And what she has to do is to pull them out of this quagmire little by little.

And the best way to pull it out is to let them think clearly.

This is not easy, because the gods may fall into eternal sleep at any time because of their corners.

but……

She's done what she has to do.As for the consequences, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

Facts have proved that this approach is very good.

After hearing her arguments, the Goddess of Wisdom hurriedly regarded the high platform as a parchment, and calculated something chaotically on it.She looked up, except for Iapetus, who was still sleeping, almost all the gods held their pens, closed their eyes, and deduced the rules that this world should follow.

Mottled lights floated in the temple, mixed in the clear and cold moonlight, which was amazingly beautiful.

Diana lowered her head and counted the time. It was almost time for Apollo to come out.
