[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

The God of Plague froze for a moment.

Diana held Xiaotuanzi in one hand and tugged at his sleeve with the other, with a bit of eagerness and worry in her eyes.

She collected herself and asked again: "You really can't understand 'the sun is the center of the world'?"

The God of Plague slowly pulled out his sleeve, and asked her back: "Do you think what they said is correct?"

Diana nodded heavily.

Xiaotuanzi shook her arm gently: "Mother Goddess, what are you talking about?"

His eyes flickered and were full of question marks, as if he really didn't understand.

Diana gently opened Xiaotuanzi's collar, searched and searched on his white and tender left shoulder, but did not find any strange marks.

The God of Plague held her hand: "You are too anxious." Such a young child has no way to truly understand the world, let alone show the god's coat of arms.

Diana smiled wryly: "I'm really in a hurry."

This kind of thing was supposed to come slowly.It's not good to be in a hurry.

The God of Plague watched her quietly for a long time, until Diana thought he would never speak again, and then asked a little hoarsely: "I remember, you once left some things in Miletus." He paused for a moment , and added, "Apollo brought it over."

Diana answered yes in a low voice.

"I heard from Architas that there are some things that you haven't written completely. The missing part is 'the sun is the center of the world', right?" He raised his hand and gently closed her lips and put them neatly into her hood, "I've never seen you look so anxious, Diana. Your Highness."

He seemed to have added the last sentence "Your Highness" abruptly, which sounded extremely awkward.

Diana nodded: "Yes."

Because the emergence of the heliocentric theory means that the twilight of the gods is heralded.

She dare not gamble.

Even though Apollo vowed to her never to peek, she still didn't dare to bet.

What if one of his think tanks had a whim and told him these things in advance?

"Mother God..." Xiaotuanzi cowardly reminded her, "They, they seem to have come out."

The God of Plague frowned, took advantage of the situation and hugged Diana and Xiaotuanzi together, and disappeared in place in an instant.

The sound of rustling footsteps has already come from the palace, together with a strange voice:

"...I think, let alone those ignorant guys in Olympus. It is difficult for us to master it even by ourselves."

----

The plague god took Diana to a secluded place.

According to legend, this is the end of time and space, and even the Chaos God himself, who created the world, would not easily come to this place.

The God of Plague closed his eyes and sniffed greedily the clean and cold breath on her body. After a while, he forced himself to let go of her slowly, took a few steps back, and kept a distance of five steps from her as much as possible before whispering. Said: "I remember... Well, Apollo told me that you have been to the future."

The phrase "Apollo told me" is equally blunt.

Diana sighed heavily: "Yes."

"Is it related to this matter?"

She nodded and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know why you did this, but...Your Excellency, the future of the Protoss is not peaceful, and the immortal gods will one day fall into a cold and silent dusk. I have been I want to change all this, but I have been unable to do so. Until just now, I heard their conversation."

"Diana, Your Highness." The God of Plague called her in a low voice, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.In fact, he knew better than anyone else that he should stay away from Diana, as far away as possible.But he couldn't bear it, he was greedy for everything about her, and he still couldn't let go.

Until just now, Diana gave him the most suitable reason, the reason to stay by her side.

One day, there will be a mess between them again...

The God of Plague sighed: "You know, Apollo is the son of light born in the dark, and he was born fiery."

She nodded, not understanding why the God of Plague suddenly changed the topic.

"He can bathe in the fire of the phoenix and be reborn again and again. And every time he is bathed in the fire of the phoenix, after death and rebirth, he will be stronger than before."

Diana looked at the God of Plague in astonishment, dumbfounded, speechless.

"And now, the only one who can make him stronger is you, Diana. Your Highness." The plague god's voice became lower and lower, "And I... can at least buy him a thousand years. After a thousand years, I will naturally will fall into an eternal sleep..."

As Diana said, in the previous life, Apollo, the God of Light.

"enough!"

Diana shoved Xiaotuanzi into her arms, took two steps forward, and tightly grabbed his dark golden collar, her ten finger joints trembled slightly, and made a slight clicking sound, "You think I will thank you? Thank you Make yourself omnipotent, erase all your weaknesses, and then...then erase everything in the past?"

"Enough, Apollo. I will not allow you to do this, neither in the past, nor in the present, nor in the future."

"Why do you think I have to be reborn, why have I worked so hard, tossed and turned in the human world again and again?"

"you……"

"Diana. Your Highness."

The God of Plague gently grasped her phalanx, and slowly, little by little, took it off the neckline, "You have misidentified me for the third time. As I said, I have no relationship with Apollo." No relationship at all. Not now, nor in the future..."

Her cold finger bones trembled slightly in his palm, and her slender skeleton almost shattered.

[Not now, and naturally there will be none in the future. 】

[As for the past, let it be the past forever. 】

The God of Plague let go of her hand little by little, feeling no heartache, but the face under the mask had completely lost its color.

【You have to be good, Diana. 】

[Even if I will never wake up, I will still become extremely powerful, supporting the whole world for you and mother. 】

【I……】

【I love you. 】

"You have to teach Apollo these things well. Now he is a human being who has gradually begun to possess the power of gods. The human race will not be restricted by the rules of the god race. He can do his best without suffering too much. Wait. On the day when he truly returns to the god position, even the most powerful rules will no longer be able to suppress him."

"Diana. Your Highness."

"I've taught him everything I can teach him. Now...you don't want to see Apollo fall, do you?"

"Looks like we'll have to work together for a while. At least until the Avengers actually get their act together, there's still a lot to do."

"You might as well take Apollo to endure the fire of the phoenix first. As for the plague of Argos..."

"I come!"

A tender and crunchy voice interrupted the God of Plague, Xiaotuanzi poked his head out of Diana's arms, and boldly shouted: "I'm coming! Your Excellency, God of Plague, I know how to solve your plague!" Already!"

"Oh?" The gentleness in the plague god's eyes grew stronger, "Have you thought about it?"

Xiaotuanzi proudly puffed out his chest: "That's right! I remembered!"

In the dim prison of God, in the kingdom of night shrouded in darkness, the dark golden deity hugged his mother and said a lot of words one after another.The goddess of the night called out "Apollo", but the dark golden god only replied "That name does not belong to me".The lullaby of the lyre, the growing teenager in the temple of Lake Nemi...

Do you think that a lullaby can suppress his memory forever?

His Father God is really, frustrating!

Decisively despise it!

Xiaotuanzi rolled his eyes at the God of Plague even more proudly.

The God of Plague laughed softly: "I'm afraid your mother won't trust you to hand you over to me."

Xiaotuanzi climbed onto Diana's shoulders with both hands and feet, hugged her neck, and begged softly: "Mother let me stay in Argos, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I will definitely be obedient Be obedient!"

Diana supported Xiaotuanzi with one hand, thought carefully for a while, and finally said hello softly.

As for Apollo...

Alas, take him to the Moon God Temple first.

It is not an easy task to take Apollo to bear the fire of the phoenix.

Even ordinary protoss couldn't bear the Phoenix Divine Fire, and Apollo was just a mortal with the power of a god?The scorching of the soul when the fire was burning, the fire that never went out for three days and three nights... was enough for Apollo.

But to Diana's surprise, Apollo agreed easily, without even asking where Xiaotuanzi was taken by her.

While suffering from the phoenix fire, Apollo gritted his teeth and asked her intermittently: "You went to see the teacher, didn't you?"

Diana froze.

How should she answer?

If the answer is yes, it will only make the current Apollo more painful.

If the answer is no, but she obviously...

"You did go." Apollo smiled wryly. "Every time you go to see the teacher, my chest will feel uncomfortable. At first the teacher told me that it was because the body of the human race could not bear the heart of a god; but now it seems... ..."

The bond between Diana and the teacher is much more complicated than he imagined.

He closed his eyes, only to feel that the burning fire around him had grown stronger, making him feel uncomfortable from body to heart.

"Diana."

"Come here and hold me."

Diana walked into the flames of the phoenix, gently hugged Apollo's waist, and put her head on his shoulder.The phoenix fire licked her bones as white as jade, but it didn't cause any harm to her, on the contrary it was slightly cold.

"Apollo." She sighed softly in his ear, "Remember the question I asked you? About fractal art."

Apollo gave a low "hmm": "I remember."

"I have been suspecting certain things, but I have never dared to tell you..." She sighed softly, "You and him are very likely to be the same person, no, God."

Apollo froze, his throat a little dry.

"No wonder..."

He pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, and an evil fire burst out in his heart, which complemented the phoenix fire around him, burning his whole body with unbearable pain.

He really, would rather his teacher, be an irrelevant outsider.

If Diana fell in love with someone else, he was still seventy to eighty percent sure to break her back.

If... if he himself...

The only one she fell in love with from beginning to end was Apollo, the sun god.

"Is this important?" Diana raised her head and looked at him, with a faint smile in her pale glass-colored pupils.

"If I also learned the technique of fractals, and then divided myself into ten or eight, which one would you fall in love with? My Apollo."

Apollo froze.

which one?

Which one is his Diana, the goddess he loves to the bottom of his heart.

Diana laughed softly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Apollo lightly on the lips again.

"It's not good to eat your own jealousy, my Highness the Sun God."
