[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

She leaned on her elbow and wrapped Apollo's blond hair round and round around her fingers.Apollo looked at her motionless, with a bit of curiosity in his blue eyes, and more of a vague expectation.

He didn't know what he was expecting, but he really hoped to get a definite answer from her.

After a long time, Diana spat out a few words: "Who is that half-blooded Sea God?"

She didn't quite understand why Apollo deliberately emphasized "half blood", but she knew that the Protoss attached great importance to blood.Generally speaking, the power of a pure-blood god is not necessarily strong, but a half-blood god must be very weak.

Apollo replied: "Son of Poseidon, Orion."

Diana was taken aback.

It's him?

Diana hadn't seen Orion since the last time she received that inexplicable note.For her, Orion was just a flash of a moment in that long dream, mixed with anger and sadness that came from nowhere, but she had no more impressions.

But Orion said, he wants to pursue her?

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Reminiscent of the mermaid prince who was hired by Atlantis and shed tears, Orion's half-brother, Diana felt more and more that Orion had no good intentions for her.

It's true that she fell in love at first sight, but it wasn't in the atmosphere of the last time when swords were on the verge of breaking out and she had never had a good face.

"Diana?" Apollo called her softly.She had unintentionally tied his hair so tightly that it had already been tied into an unattractive knot.

Diana let out a soft "ah", came back to her senses, looked at her masterpiece, coughed lightly in embarrassment, gently pulled out her fingers, and tidied Apollo's messy hair bit by bit.Apollo didn't care about his knotted blond hair, but asked: "You haven't told me, what do you think?"

"What do you think?" Diana smiled and shook her head, "He said his, I passed mine. They are two parallel lines that don't intersect, so why bother?" She paused, thinking of Triton, He also warned, "After you go out, you must be careful. I always feel that someone is coveting Delphi."

"Delphi?" Apollo was slightly startled, and then said indifferently, "Let them covet it. Since the moment my grandmother handed Delphi to me, there have never been fewer gods coveting it." Apo Luo said, gently pressed her busy hand, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Why bother, how nice it is to cut."

Cut, cut?

What a pity to cut such a bundle of blond hair pouring down like sunshine.

Diana vetoed it flatly, moved closer, and untied the messy knot bit by bit.Gradually, she almost lay on Apollo's body, and the sound of breathing between them was clearly audible.

Apollo's heart skipped a beat, holding her waist, his eyes gradually softened.

He loved it so much.

Get close to her, hold her, kiss... her.

An unstoppable urge to kiss her rose in Apollo's heart, but he suppressed it abruptly.He is no longer a reckless hot-blooded boy, so he naturally knows that doing so will make her angry.

How about just slowly approaching her like this, weaving a dense net for her, completely engulfing her in it, melting her with all his enthusiasm, making her inescapable...

As the god of long-range shooting proclaimed by Zeus and the famous king of the golden bow among the gods, Apollo is also a good hunter, even a natural hunter who is not inferior to Diana.

He wants her.

I want to capture the unreachable bright moon in the night sky, and I want to capture the best hunter in the world into my palm.

"Phew... finally it's over..."

Diana finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat up supporting Apollo's strong chest, but was lightly pressed by Apollo, and then fell into his arms again.

"Brother?" Diana was a little surprised.

Apollo rubbed her left shoulder lightly, and asked her, "I have seen a little silver light here. Have you condensed the coat of arms of God?"

Diana nodded.The day after she regained her memory, she found a beautiful silver moiré on her left shoulder.She no longer remembers when this pattern was condensed in her previous life, but she vaguely felt that this time it was earlier than last time.

"Can you let me have a look?" Apollo tentatively said, "I want to see if it is consistent with mine."

As Apollo said, he unbuttoned the button quite casually, revealing his strong and fit left shoulder and most of his chest, with a faint golden pattern hovering over it.

She froze for a moment.

Logically speaking, it is quite reasonable for Apollo to make this request.After all, he is her closest brother, and she has nothing to hide from him.

But... the shoulder?

Although it's not a very private place, but...

She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said good.

Apollo turned his back to her in a gentlemanly manner.

She quickly unbuttoned her clothes, and quickly tied a knot in front of her chest, exposing only her left arm and left shoulder. Then she said "Okay" and made Apollo turn around.

With just one glance, Apollo couldn't look away.

Under the golden sunlight, Diana's bare left shoulder was glowing like a pearl, and the thin silver lines spread from the shoulder to the collarbone, ending just right at the edge of her tender breasts.Holy to the extreme, but also enchanting to the extreme.

He closed his eyes, his mouth slightly dry.

Diana didn't notice Apollo's strange appearance, and carefully compared the silver stripes on her body with Apollo's gold stripes, and found that although they looked similar, they were quite different in details.It is said that this pattern is the unique mark of the gods, and they are used to distinguish the altars, rituals and sacrifices of the gods in the great ceremonies of the world.

Apollo obviously noticed it too, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes: "It's...inconsistent?" He put his hand on her shoulder, and stroked his index finger along the lines, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Diana didn't bother him.

This pattern is exactly the same as the scepter of the gods, representing some kind of "prime" and order.She and Apollo are twins, and the divine pattern should be exactly the same.

"Diana." Apollo asked her, "What is the origin of the world?"

Diana was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "I don't know."

Apollo denied her statement: "No, you know." He paused, and then said, "Otherwise you would not be able to condense this coat of arms. Diana, we must have produced something in our understanding of the world." Remember what I said to you? Gods are born of order, control the rules, and conform to a certain 'order' themselves. When the order of the world fully conforms to a certain god, he will become supreme exist."

Diana was a little confused: "I don't understand."

Apollo explained: "For example, Poseidon, the king of the sea god, has always insisted that 'the origin of the world is water'."

Diana suddenly realized: "So you have always insisted that 'the origin of the world is light'?"

"There is a whole set of fallacies." Apollo nodded her forehead helplessly, "Although for me, 'the origin of the world is light' is a thing that has all benefits and no harm. But it is obvious , the origin of the world cannot be light.”

Diana let out a soft "oh".

"You haven't answered me yet." Apollo asked again, "In your opinion, what is the origin of the world?"

What is the origin of the world?

Water, earth, wind and fire, atomic molecule quarks, or small-scale curly cosmic strings?

Diana thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head: "I don't know."

Her expression didn't look fake.

Apollo fell into deep thought again, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were a little lax.Diana raised her hand slightly, trying to smooth his eyebrows, but quickly put it down.

this is not good.She said to herself silently.He is her brother, brother.

Perhaps because she has been a person for too long, she always has an instinctive resistance to the protoss intermarriage.

Apollo stroked the beautiful silver lines over and over again, his fingertips stroked along the lines and then back again, causing a tremor on her bare skin.She couldn't help holding down his hand, but inadvertently let the edge of his palm press down, just where it shouldn't be.Through the thin fabric, he could even feel its perfect curvature and deadly softness.

Diana's expression changed, she grabbed Apollo's hand as if nothing had happened, and slowly took it off her shoulder.

Apollo's gaze became a little hotter, and he gently untied the knot of her dress on her chest, and before her face changed drastically, he draped it over her shoulders, and then carefully fastened the buttons.Looking at it further, he was afraid that he would really not be able to bear it and would do something to her here.

Diana turned her head away and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Apollo gave an "um", but in fact he had just had lunch.

"I'm going to hunt." She stood up.

Apollo also stood up: "Let's go together."

----

Walking aimlessly alone, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

In the end, it was Diana who couldn't help breaking the silence: "Can I ask you something?"

"As long as I know the answer, I will tell you without reservation." Apollo turned to look at her and said gently.

"Why did you deliberately emphasize 'half-blood'?" Diana finally asked what had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

Apollo laughed and shook his head: "...I'm used to it." He bent down and picked up a round stone, weighed it in his hand, and continued, "Do you remember what Zeus once said? Die for order."

Diana noticed that the moment he uttered the word "half blood", the clear sea blue in his eyes instantly turned into a dazzling golden, and then returned to its original state in an instant.

"Remember." She murmured.

"Only pure-blooded gods are 'born by rules'..." Apollo's voice was slightly lower, as if he was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him, and he seemed to be feeling, "There used to be A theory that 'everything in the world is made up of countless tiny, indivisible atoms'..."

Diana gave a soft "hmm".This is the atomic theory of Democritus.

Apollo raised the round stone in front of Diana: "Take it."

Diana took it as promised.

"Focus all your attention on it."

Diana complied.

"Say, 'In the name of God, I say, it should be dispersed into atoms.'"

Diana was stunned, raised her head, and gave Apollo a questioning look.

Apollo looked at her intently and earnestly, his expression did not seem to be joking at all.

She settled down, and said as if chanting a mantra: "In the name of God, I say, it should be dispersed into atoms..."

The boulder shattered with a bang, and countless fine particles were scattered in the air.Apollo, who had been degraded as a man, could not see, but Diana, the main god, could.Smaller than the tiniest dust, those particles swirled wildly in the air, surrounded by a foggy cloud of electrons.Diana watched and couldn't help changing her face.

Of course she knew what this power represented.

If one day, she said these words to her enemy...

"Understood?" Apollo's low voice echoed in the air, "You can do it easily; when I become a god, I can do it too. But a half-blood god...can't." He shook his hand Her hand lingered on her left shoulder, "The half-blood gods are also excluded from the order. They won't die because of 'order', but they can't change the order of this world..."

Diana stared at him blankly, without speaking.

Apollo suddenly smiled, and stretched out his hands to brush her long hair: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Shall we go hunting?"

She readily agreed.

A rainbow bridge suddenly fell from the sky, across the Tempe Valley and Olympus, and landed beside Apollo.

The Rainbow Goddess descended from the sky in a graceful figure, walked towards Diana with ladylike steps, and said, "His Royal Highness, please return to Olympus immediately to attend the meeting."

Diana was slightly taken aback.

"Meeting?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Rainbow Goddess nodded affirmatively.

Diana was slightly stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "Is it the meeting of the gods?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

A strange look flashed in Diana's eyes, and her tone was slightly sharp: "Why is the meeting so special that you didn't send a letter in advance, and just opened it at the last minute?"

Rainbow Goddess was stunned.

"Also, why is it you, the maid and messenger of the Queen of Heaven, and not Hermes, the messenger of the gods, who sent the message? Also, what kind of meeting of the gods can leave Apollo, the god of light, alone Invited me?" Her tone became more and more fierce, and she asked three "why" in a row, making the Rainbow Goddess speechless.

Seeing the appearance of the Rainbow Goddess, Diana already guessed a little bit in her heart: "Goddess Iris, please tell me first, is it God King Zeus or Queen Hera who ordered you to deliver the message?"

Rainbow Goddess's lips twitched a few times, and finally said helplessly, "It's Your Highness the Queen of Heaven."

Diana had an expression of "as expected", thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Diana?" Apollo was a little surprised.Hera obviously has bad intentions...

Diana turned her head, smiled slightly, and gently hugged Apollo.

"Trust me, okay? Brother."

Apollo froze slightly, hugged her tightly, and pressed a kiss on her cheek: "Be careful."

Diana was stunned.

When parting, he kissed her on the cheek instead of her forehead?

She had no time to think about it, smiled at Apollo, turned around and flew towards Olympus.

The Rainbow Goddess breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Apollo with undisguised admiration in her eyes.

"Brother Apollo, please rest assured." She tried her best to explain, "His Royal Highness is not lying. Zeus did indeed want to call a meeting of the gods, but Her Royal Highness moved the time a little earlier..."

"Please pay attention to your address, Goddess Iris." Apollo interrupted her, slightly displeased.

He didn't want anything to do with her.

"Brother Apollo?" The Rainbow Goddess was stunned.

Apollo repeated again: "Please pay attention to your address." He deliberately emphasized "you".

The Rainbow Goddess took two steps back, with undisguised disappointment in her eyes, "But that's what I've always called you. Brother Ares, Brother Hermes, Brother Dionysus...you...you have always been approachable ...why...won't you allow it?"

approachable?

I'm afraid it's because he's too approachable that so many goddesses want to flirt with him one after another.

Apollo said resolutely and decisively: "Then from now on, I will always be 'defiant, proud and conceited'."

The Rainbow Goddess was stunned, and took a few steps back again and again, looking at Apollo with an incredulous expression.

Apollo's expression doesn't seem fake, and his tone doesn't seem fake.

The Rainbow Goddess lowered her head, her eyes blushed slightly: "But do you know? Only light can make the rainbow colorful. And only light..." She paused for a moment, sobbed a few times, turned around and built the Rainbow Bridge, Fly back to Mount Olympus.

Apollo turned and left, a strange golden light appeared in his sea-blue eyes.
