[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Zeus sneered: "Diana, you are too idealistic."

Diana was taken aback after hearing this, and then gradually smiled.

"If one year doesn't work, I'll use two years; if 1000 years won't work, I'll use 1 years. I exchange my eternal life for Apollo's eternal light; I exchange myself for the happiness of Apollo's future tens of millions of years. "

There was a shining light in her eyes, and the whole body was shrouded in a shallow light, so clean that it was unbearable to touch.

"From childhood to adulthood, Apollo has been fighting, plotting, fighting, and fighting for me and for my mother. In his life in the past hundreds of years, he didn't have many happy times. The more perfect the God of Light, the more perfect Apollo will be." The more tired he gets. But now, I don't want him to be so tired."

As she spoke, she stood up slowly, looked at Zeus, and said word by word:

"I will always be the shadow of the sun, shining on the earth in the night sky forever. I will do for him what he wants to do but has not finished; I will take for him what he wants but has not had time to take." .Zeus, this is a provocation, but also a letter of war. So in the end, I must be the main god of rebellion." She stepped forward step by step, knelt down in front of Zeus' knees, "Please let me die for him."

Zeus looked at her quietly, without saying a word.

"I'll die for him." Diana looked into his eyes and repeated word by word.

Zeus smiled: "I didn't mean to kill him, Diana."

"But you have never been a god who keeps your promises, and you have always only loved yourself. You didn't kill Apollo because this time, he didn't touch your core interests. If one day, he becomes more You are stronger, and you are indeed a threat, will you still say this?" Diana chuckled lightly, but her eyes were still cold.

Zeus' expression froze for a moment.

Diana caught it keenly, and the coldness in her eyes became more and more intense: "So, at a certain moment, you actually had the intention to kill."

Her voice was crisp and cold, hitting Zeus' heart like an ice edge.

Zeus was silent for a long time.

When Diana thought he was going to be silent forever, Zeus spoke.

He said, "You're really smart, smarter than I thought, Diana."

"Please let me die for him," Diana repeated.

Zeus burst out laughing suddenly: "Diana, my daughter, since you are so smart, can't you guess what I'm thinking?" He bent down, stared into Diana's eyes, and said every word, " If there is such a day, it will definitely not be you who died."

Diana twitched the corner of her mouth slightly: "I'm just holding on to a ten-thousandth hope."

"I am very envious of Apollo, really." Zeus suddenly sighed, "Sitting on the highest place of Olympus for a long time, I am actually very lonely."

"Because you have never been willing to have a true heart-to-heart relationship with any goddess."

"Diana, it's not good to be too smart."

"It is also because of this that you especially favor the stupid goddess, and let the smart Hera be your wife?"

Zeus clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "You'd better pray that there will never be such a day, Diana. I don't want to die, and I don't think Apollo wants to."

Diana lowered her head and said in a low voice, "This is what I hope too."

No matter how much they usually dislike each other, they don't want the God Realm to fall into a situation full of war.

In the face of eternal time, any huge contradiction cannot be called a contradiction.

"I will uphold the sentence against Apollo," Zeus said at last, "you'd better not interfere. Otherwise, I don't mind adding a new sentence to this one."

Diana pursed her lips slightly, and the palm of her hand had already been pinched with eight shallow crescent marks by her nails.

"Follow Your Majesty's oracle."

----

After coming out of the Temple of Thunder, Diana was in a trance.

She walked from Olympus to the Abyss of Darkness step by step, and sat in the already cold prison for three days and three nights.The empty wine jars were still rolling, and the sound was very clear in the empty divine prison.

A faint shadow stood far away in the deepest part of God's Prison, watching her without moving.

Diana turned her head alertly: "Who?!"

No sound.

She raised her hand and raised a large piece of silver light, washing away the dim divine prison like water.A black figure came out from the deepest part of God's Prison, with a faint displeasure on his face: "First Apollo, then you. The underworld is almost ruined by you."

"Your Majesty Hades?" Diana was slightly startled.

No, not him.

Hades looked at her with deep but indifferent eyes, with a bit of inquiry.And just now...

The feeling that was as sharp as a sword and almost penetrated her from the inside out just now did not come from Hades.

She took half a step back and bowed to salute: "I am sorry for my recklessness, and I also apologize to you for Apollo."

Hades was noncommittal.

"If Your Majesty does not intend to reprimand me, then I will leave." Diana said, and glanced at the deepest part of the divine prison.

There was nothing there, as if it was just her illusion.

Hades is still noncommittal.

It seems that His Majesty's reticence has reached a certain level.

Diana saluted Hades again to express her apology, and then gradually scattered into fine silver light and disappeared into the prison.

The sacred mountain was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and the heavy snow in the human world never stopped.

Diana stood in the snow for a moment, then turned and went to Miletus.

There were too many baby boys born seven years ago, and Zeus had fulfilled his sentence.Apollo will certainly not remember her any more, nor can he give her any hints.The only way now is to find them one by one.

But before that, she wanted to see the child first.

Miletus was also as cold as ever, with flimsy fortifications facing the Hittite fortress on the opposite side.

Diana followed the path she remembered to the Temple of the Sun.Before entering, I heard a rather painful voice:

"Everyone must die."

"Socrates is a man."

"So Socrates will die."

After a while, another small childish voice came from the temple: "Oh."

"So do you understand... my Aspilakis... Your Highness..." The previous voice became more painful.

Diana pushed the door open and went in, just in time to see a white and tender little ball with its head propped up, plucking the feathers on the quill pen in boredom, and asked very childishly and seriously: "Uncle Architas, when will you take me? Go to Babylon to read medical clay tablets?"

Architas, who was concentrating on his lecture, staggered.

Probably because of the snow, the little white dumpling was wrapped in a layer of fur, like a fluffy ball.

A guy with short red hair raised his head and lazily said to the fluffy ball: "He won't take you, I'll take you. Listening to him talk about these things every day, I'm so boring."

The little pompom cheered and was about to jump on the red-haired guy immediately.

A pair of slender and white hands grabbed the little pompom from mid-air, and gently twisted the pair of tender little ears: "Don't make trouble."

The little pompon cheered again, wrapped his arms around Diana's neck, and rubbed softly: "Mother God~~"

He spoke the language of God, neither Architas nor the red-haired guy could understand.

Architas called out "Your Highness Princess" with a sigh of relief, and stepped back.

Diana stopped him.

"Does Your Highness have anything else to do?" Architas asked in a good-tempered manner.

"You're not curious..." She glanced at the sleeping red-haired guy next to her, and asked, "Why hasn't my appearance changed at all after more than 20 years?"

Architas smiled: "His Highness the Sun God once bestowed upon you eternal life and eternal youth. If you grow old instead, that would be a great event."

Diana was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What you taught this child just now was Aristotle's syllogism?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Now Aristotle has become the most prestigious scholar in the world." Architas replied.

Diana was silent for a while, pointing to the red-haired guy who was lying on the side and sleeping soundly, and asked, "Why is he here?"

Architas was also silent for a moment.

"Actually, no one knows why he's here."

The boy with red hair who was sleeping soundly and who was trying to abduct her son just now was Loki.

Diana never thought that she would meet Loki under such circumstances.

"Mother God, Mother God~" the little pompom called her softly, "Mother God, will you take me to Babylon? I heard that Babylon's medical clay books are great! Very good! Super good!!!"

Diana rubbed the little pompom's soft hair and asked him, "Who told you all this?"

"Uncle Architas~"

Diana cast her eyes on Architas.

Architas bowed slightly: "It is indeed recorded in the scroll left by His Majesty Apollo."

"Ah-ha-"

Loki sat up and stretched, with a contented expression on his face, "I slept so soundly. Ah, long time no see, why didn't Apollo come today?" He raised his eyebrows, and said to himself, "It must be the sun every day. I can't get away from work. Well then, beautiful lady—" He snapped his fingers, got a delicate rose from somewhere, put it in his mouth, stood up and bent over to Diana :

"May I invite you to dance with me?"

Diana's facial nerves twitched happily a few times, ignored Loki, turned around and left.

The little pompom lay on her shoulder and made faces at Loki, who also raised his eyebrows at the little pompom.

After taking two steps, Diana suddenly stopped.

"Loki."

"Why, are you willing to dance with me?" Loki continued to come to Diana with the rose in his mouth, bent down, and stretched out his hand to her.

Diana took a deep breath and said calmly, "No matter what your purpose is for staying here, you must remember one thing: If you do something like burning the Temple of the Sun again, without Apollo doing it, I will punish you."

"Yes, my beautiful lady." Loki raised his eyebrows again.Can it be flooded without fire?

But it's really hard for him to speak so clearly while holding a rose in his mouth.

Diana walked away gradually with the little pompom in her arms.

"Mother God, Mother God, where are we going~"

"Go to your father."

"Don't look for Father God, okay~ Let's go to Babylon to read medical clay books~"

"Don't make trouble."

"Mother God hates the most, as much as Father God..."
