[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Apollo gradually turned to ashes in the fire.

The fire of the phoenix burned even more vigorously, and a faint shadow could be seen faintly.The phoenix circled around the shadow, screaming sharply, and opened its mouth to spit out more blazing fires.The icy Moon God Temple was gradually burned by the raging fire, converging into a silver torrent, spreading among the towering ancient trees that covered the sky and the sun.

Diana quietly accompanied her, the heat wave bulging the corners of her clothes, and the white and silvery skeleton under the cloak could be vaguely seen.

The tongue of fire licked the newborn shadow over and over again, and a hot golden light came out from the deepest part of the shadow, making Diana unable to open her eyes.Gradually, the fiery golden light gathered more and more, forming a bright halo.In the dizziness of the sun, the newborn Apollo slowly opened his eyes, scalding so hot that he almost burned everything around him.

"Di...An...Na..."

He called her name indistinctly, his body shook a few times, and he fell down.

Diana hurriedly stretched out her hand, held it firmly, looked down at the Temple of the Moon God that had already melted into water, and finally helped Apollo lean against a big tree helplessly.The phoenix turned around and danced around the big tree, singing a beautiful hymn.

After the singing stopped, the phoenix flew back to the ancient well in the world, curled up its wings and slept peacefully, waiting for the next sunrise.

Diana was a little annoyed.

The newborn Apollo was naked like a baby, lying motionless in her arms and sleeping peacefully.She wanted to find a dress for him to put on, but she was worried about leaving him here alone.After all, in Olympus, there are still many goddesses who covet Apollo.

"Well……"

Apollo turned over in her arms in a daze, opened his eyes, and his eyes were as pure as a baby.

"Diana?"

"Are you okay? Is there any discomfort?" Diana asked softly.

Apollo shook his head blankly, leaning on his forehead, with a confused expression: "What's wrong with me?"

"You just experienced the fire of the phoenix, don't you remember?" Diana was suddenly worried.

Apollo still shook his head blankly: "I don't remember much." He unconsciously reached out and pressed his chest, feeling the heart beating in the chest, calm and powerful, ironing the blood flowing through it slightly hot .

Diana suddenly felt something was wrong: "Then what do you remember?"

Apollo's expression became more and more blank: "What should I remember?"

"You were reincarnated as a human from the wrath of Zeus, remember?"

"remember."

"A little further back, we had a lovely baby, remember?"

Apollo smiled: "How could I forget?"

"A little further..." Diana hesitated for a moment, but Apollo had already laughed and said, "Going a little further, did you play around in the human world, but hurt yourself all over? Well, then This memory is a little fuzzy. Is mother okay? Her birthday is two days away, so we should go to Delos Island to visit her together."

Diana was stunned: "But mother, she no longer lives on Delos Island."

"Oh? She moved?" Apollo was a little surprised, his expression not as fake.

Diana vaguely understood something: "...Yes, she moved to the Kingdom of the Night and lived with her aunt."

Apollo's expression is clearly saying: That's it.

Diana understood.

No wonder the plague god proposed to let Apollo bear the fire of the phoenix.

It turns out that after being reborn from the ashes, he will forget all unpleasant memories, just like a newborn.

"Diana." Apollo slightly propped up his body, turned over again, and caged her under him. He narrowed his eyes comfortably, like an elegant and ready-to-go cheetah, faintly carrying her. A little cramped.

Diana coughed lightly and pushed him: "Don't, don't make trouble."

The tentacles were scorching hot, and his warm chest moved up and down along with his breathing, and a little sweat leaked out.

The sun shines through the gaps in the treetops, presenting Apollo in front of her eyes without any obstruction. He is strong and fit, with a healthy light wheat color.Long golden curly hair slid down her shoulders, and her eyes were still a gentle sea blue.Even though she was extremely familiar with him, Diana was still a little embarrassed.

Apollo lowered his head, put his chin on her shoulder, and smiled sullenly.

"Baby." His voice was a bit lazy and hoarse, "When will you be able to face my naked body naturally? Huh?"

Diana stretched out her hand angrily, and lightly poked his chest: "Be careful I poke you." Now she has sharp bones all over her body, and she can easily poke on Apollo's "fragile" body. two holes.

Apollo laughed muffledly, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and kissed her jade-white phalanx delicately, with tenderness in his eyes:

"If the poke is broken, wouldn't I have to regenerate again? Well, that's okay, the more times I regenerate, the shorter the time for me to return. By the way, baby, how did we become like this ?……I forgot."

"Forget it, then forget it." Diana pretended to be indifferent, "It's not a big deal anyway."

Apollo was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "That's true." Although she is light and thin and uncomfortable to hold, it doesn't matter, if she works hard for a few decades, she will return to her original shape.

Apollo is optimistic.

This sunny attitude gradually infected Diana, and even the haze of recent years dissipated a lot.Diana tentatively asked Apollo if she still remembered the existence of another "him", and Apollo was extremely surprised:

"Is there another me in the world? It's incredible!"

"The next time I see Teacher, I will definitely take off his mask!"

"It's too much, too much!..."

Apollo looked aggrieved, and while Diana wasn't paying attention, he leaned in front of her and kissed her neck...well, let's call it the neck.The moment she was kissed delicately by Apollo, Diana wanted to groan comfortably, her ten finger bones unconsciously grabbed the fallen leaves under her body, and her body trembled slightly.

"You are still as sensitive as ever, baby." Apollo leaned on her side and laughed softly, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that you only have one, um, one bone left now. .”

Diana resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him: "Otherwise, do you think that I will obediently let you...let you do this kind of thing at this kind of time, on this occasion?"

"It seems that I didn't work hard enough——" Apollo lifted her mask regretfully, gave her a quick kiss, put the mask back on for her before she got angry, and then laughed sullenly again, "Really I miss you when you're drunk."

After she was drunk, she turned from the coldest frost to the hottest fire, so enthusiastic that the sun almost melted.

Diana took a deep breath, and it took a lot of effort to convince herself not to care about this bad guy.

Suddenly, she froze slightly: "Someone is here."

"Ok?"

Apollo frowned, and broke off two luxuriant branches, blocking in front of him, and then held Diana in his arms, blocking another part.After doing all this, I saw a young man with two wings and a staff of two snakes flying over in a hurry.

Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the god of theft.

Hermes didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly handed Diana an invitation letter.But what was surprising was that the person invited in the invitation letter was her high priest in the human world, the prince of Athens who resembled the sun god.

Signed is, Athena.

While thinking about Athena's intentions, Apollo gave Hermes a look of "If you are a brother, don't disturb my date".Hermes laughed dryly twice, and flew away with a whoosh.

Diana pinched the invitation letter, and slid her fingers over the last line of small golden words: "This is a divine banquet to discuss the composition and rules of the world, what do you mean? Isn't this kind of thing done in the Temple of Order? "

"The Temple of Order will only go after the 'result'." Apollo embraced her with one hand, grabbed her out of thin air with the other hand, and made out of nowhere a robe with a white background and gold pattern, "Let's go together. "

Diana was taken aback again: "This is..."

"Folding space." Apollo folded the invitation letter and stuffed it into Diana's long cloak, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Space folding?

Diana recalled the previous "dispersion into atoms".

She took a deep breath, and slowly traced the outline of the Holy Mountain of Olympus in her mind, and then gradually located the nearly abandoned Temple of Light, and stretched out her hand——

A fist-sized crystal ball fell from the sky and landed in the palm of her hand, shaking all the bones in her body.

Apollo was surprised for a moment, then relieved.

"You surprise me every time, baby."

At Athena's banquet, only two guests were invited, plus two oil bottles.

The first guests were Circe, goddess of magic, and Hecate, goddess of ghosts and magic.It is said that when Hecate came to Circe's house as a guest, he saw the post saying "Invite the Goddess of Magic", and followed him without saying a word, saying that he wanted to settle accounts with the Goddess of Wisdom, because Athena did not count her.

The second guest was naturally the High Priest left by the Moon God in the human world, the Prince of Athens.However, it is said that the prince of Athens is extremely "fragile" as a human race, so the goddess of the moon also followed, lest if she was not careful, the high priest she had trained for more than ten years would be struck to death by divine thunder.

And Athena's intentions are even more obvious.

The moment Apollo entered the table, she immediately asked: "Circe, do you really think that this is a magical world made of magical elements?"

"Of course!" the Goddess of Magic showed no sign of weakness, "Look at the potion I cooked! Look at the magic I created! I've finished writing a whole set of magic encyclopedias, which will soon be circulated among the gods! Look around Look at the endless light around you! Whether it is water, earth, wind, fire or light and darkness, life and death, they are all 'elements' in the magical world, all are 'magic elements'!"

Athena looked at Apollo, and said slowly: "Your magic encyclopedia alone cannot convince the gods."

Circe curled her lips in disdain: "Come on, your theory doesn't apply at all. Listen well, my magic is common to all races in the world. Even humans can freely learn my magic. If even the magic elements It is not the origin of the world, so tell me, what is the origin of the world? Is it a misty idea? Absurd!"

"what?!"

Athena stood up abruptly: "Humans, can you also learn your magic?!"

"Of course!" Circe puffed out her chest proudly. "I can teach them to create light with vinegar and lime! I can teach them to manipulate a burning fire in water! I can teach them..."

Diana tugged at the hem of Apollo's clothes and shook her head slightly.

The vinegar and lime create the light, most likely referring to the acid-base battery.

A fire burning in water... as long as the sodium or potassium can be purified, it is also a piece of cake.

She glanced at Circe suspiciously, then at Apollo, and seeing Apollo nodded slightly, she said, "Circe, did you figure out these 'magic' by yourself?"
