[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Of course Zeus didn't want to care about it, because it was Hera who caused this matter.

From the moment Jason set foot on the Argos ship, he has been receiving the "favor" of the queen Hera.From Medea falling in love with him at first sight to defeating the dragon guarding the Golden Fleece, Hera is almost there.It wasn't until Medea insisted on killing her own younger brother in the Moon God Temple that people had to sigh: What a hatred...

Linking to Hera's previous resentment towards Hercules, and Hercules' strong support for Jason, it is indeed a "big hatred".

Anyway, in short, an unprecedented plague has come to Argos.It is said that Zeus has always been indifferent to Argos. Whether it was the murder of Medea's younger brother or the sudden arrival of the plague, His Majesty the God King didn't care about it.

"It is estimated that Argos is not far from extinction." In the end, the God of Hades sighed.

Hades, the king of the underworld, had been accompanying his queen and refused to meet guests, so Apollo had to change his mind and took Diana to meet the god of death.

It is said that the god of death has a strange temper, it is said that the god of death hates all living things, it is said that...

Numerous "said" are not worth a real meeting.

When Diana finally saw the pale god of death who was harvesting souls in the human world with a grinning grin, she instantly understood the reason why humans were afraid of the god of death.

If she were a human being, she would also be afraid.

It's a pity that now she is not only not a human being, but she is also very popular with Lord Death—the undead.

"Skeleton-type undead are actually quite rare." Master Reaper commented on her.

Diana pretended not to hear anything, and asked him kindly: "Do you know how to reverse the state of the undead?"

"I know." Reaper said bluntly, "but my lord doesn't want to tell you." Even the aloof Lord Reaper, who has always had a bad temper, would never agree.

Diana silently praised "has character" from the bottom of her heart, and continued to ask kindly: "In other words, the state of the undead can actually be reversed?"

Lord Reaper's face turned black all of a sudden: "Did you just play tricks on me?"

Diana smiled slightly: "Of course."

Lord Reaper wanted to vomit blood.

Language trap!

He deliberately skipped the first question and went straight to the core, and then with his ambiguous answers, he got what he really wanted.

...The most frightening thing is that he didn't realize it was a language trap at all, and was just entangled by the undead goddess in front of him.

It is said that the goddess of Olympus is the most treacherous and cunning, and it really is not a random rumor.

Lord Death suddenly felt that goddesses are the scariest species in the world, and this goddess of undead in front of him is the scariest of all terrifying species, bar none!

Diana said goodbye to the God of Plague friendly, and went around the Kingdom of Argos, but she still couldn't find the God of Plague.After thinking about it, she decided to ask Apollo: "After hearing about Medea, what was your first reaction?"

"Anger." Apollo replied simply.

"So, after convicting Argos, where is the place you most want to go?——I'm serious."

Apollo thought for a while before slowly answering: "...Kolchis, in that defiled temple of the Moon God."

"Let's go to Colchis." Diana made a quick decision.

Apollo was slightly stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded: "The teacher's behavior style is indeed very similar to mine."

——It's not just similar, it's exactly the same.

Diana has been suspecting that the god of plague is actually Apollo himself.

It was hardly an accident that Diana met the plague god in the temple of the moon in Colchis.

Almost without any surprise, after hearing that "the state of the undead can be reversed", the God of Plague let out a soft "heh", as if laughing lowly, but his tone was so flat that he couldn't hear anything.At the same time, Apollo felt an extremely intense pleasure.

The God of Plague asked: "What should I do to restore you to your original state in the shortest possible time?"

Diana shook her head: "I'm not sure." She wondered if she should talk to the god of death again.

However, the difficulty factor seems to be a bit high.

The God of Plague was slightly stunned, and habitually stretched out his hand, trying to gather her long hair behind her ears, but before touching her, he gently put it down: "...that's fine."

"Alright?" Diana was a little surprised.

"I mean, it might not be a bad thing for you to temporarily become an undead." The God of Plague said in a low voice, his eyes passed her, and he looked at the majestic holy mountain of Olympus, and sighed softly: "Hey! If you are not satisfied, Zeus doesn’t care, when the heroes are strong enough—”

When they are strong enough, it may not be impossible to overthrow the gods.

He turned his head to look at Apollo, with a hint of worry in his dark golden eyes.

If the heroes stay in the human world, they can be allowed to torment; but if someone spreads the weakness of the gods... Theseus has a big appetite, Hercules has a stubborn temper, and Jason is even worse. He is a person who does not give up until he achieves his goal. Coupled with the seeds that Zeus kept sowing to the world in the past few years, those demigods...

Originally, Zeus planned to use these illegitimate children to control the human world.

But now, things seemed to be out of Zeus' control.

Starting from Hercules, a small hidden danger buried hundreds of years ago has become a butterfly flapping its wings slightly, about to set off a huge storm in the God Realm.

Whether it is Diana or Apollo, it is absolutely impossible to stay out of it so easily.

The plague god disappeared again, before Diana even had time to ask him why he sent that plague on Argos.

Apollo stood in front of the Moon God Temple for a long time, gently touching every pattern and every piece of relief in the temple, and finally sighed softly: "It's better...to dismantle and rebuild."

"why?"

"It has been stained by the blood of sinners, Diana." Apollo embraced her, rubbing her long hair, with anger and helplessness in his eyes, "After the temple is pulled down, I will use the fire of the phoenix to destroy it." Purification. Immediately afterwards, I will go to Miletus, Egypt, Babylon, and Athens. There is more than one way to return to the throne of God, you..."

He sighed heavily, lowered his head, and kissed the silver mask: "Hera is angry, and she probably will recklessly hunt down Zeus' lover and illegitimate children. Every time Hera makes a big move, the human world It's been a long time. Diana, I'm just... lost."

He doesn't know what kind of role he will play, let alone what the future will hold.

"Before that, I will go back to Delphi. I hope that the strength I have accumulated over the years is enough for me to make a prophecy."

----

Delphi.

The crowd was full of people.

Since Zeus sent the eagle to measure the earth, Delphi, the center of the world, has become the focus of attention of the gods and humans.Although the earth became a ball later, and the center of the world was everywhere on the ground, it still couldn't shake Delphi's position.Moreover, as the place where the oracle of the god of prophecy issued, Delphi's status can only become more important day by day.

When the human prince who resembled the sun god appeared in Delphi, it caused a sensation.As for the goddess next to the prince, who was wrapped in a black cloak, a black hood, and an exquisite silver mask, she hardly had any sense of existence.

The priests of Delphi have already changed a batch. Twelve sunny and fit youths are reciting prayers in front of the statue of the sun god, while looking at the strange visitor curiously.A white and tender little dumpling suddenly poked its head out of the black cloak, but it was stuffed back immediately, screaming, and it took a long time to recognize the word "Argos".

Apollo stood by the altar for a long time.

From sunrise to sunset, do not eat, drink, move, or speak.

Diana stood quietly beside him and accompanied him, holding the little ball trying to hop around while waiting for the result of the prophecy.

It wasn't until midnight that Apollo slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go to Argos."

Diana took a few steps forward, gently held his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Apollo gave her a slight smile, and his thumb lightly rubbed her fingertips, scratching the gap between her palms from time to time.This kind of intimacy made Diana a little surprised and embarrassed: "You..."

Apollo glanced lightly at the little white ball in her arms: "He can relieve the plague of Argos."

Diana was stunned.

"Aspirekus... is the real God of Healers."

For the God of Medicine to say such words, it must be quite a remarkable place.

Diana pushed the little dumpling back in her arms and was about to say something when she was suddenly hugged by Apollo again, making a slight rattling sound from her whole body.After listening to this voice for so long, I got used to it.

"Please wait a moment." A young priest stopped Apollo, "You seemed to be prophesying just now?"

Apollo looked down at Diana in his arms, but he couldn't see anything clearly through a thick silver mask.

"I am a human priest who has been favored by the God of Prophecy." He said ambiguously.

"Oh." The young priest nodded, with some respect in his eyes, "Then, where are you the priest? Olympia? Didames? Or..."

"Miletus."

The declining academic capital, the Greek city-state that is still intimidated by the Hittite army until today, created the entire mathematical world single-handedly.There are the best scholars and the most ardent hope of the God of Light.

The young priest bowed slightly and stepped back.

"Didn't the god Apollo descend to the world?" Someone asked him in a low voice.

The young priest shook his head: "It's a priest from Miletus, the holy land of light." Apollo, the god of light, is also the only remaining god of prophecy in the world.

Apollo hugged Diana and walked away.

It was half a month before they boarded the boat and arrived at Argos smoothly.

Xiaotuanzi pondered for more than half a month, but he still couldn't think of any way to relieve the threat of the plague.So he doubted whether the prophecy of God the Father was really as ambiguous and frequently wrong as Hera said.
