[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Apollo felt terrible about himself.

After listening to that long "why split yourself in half".

-to take away the curse of doom?

That's a legitimate reason.

- for omnipotence?

This is barely a legitimate reason.

- To beat Zeus?

He doesn't have such big ambitions yet.

Well, ambition.

Ambition, desire for power, and the fateful curse all piled up on the god of plague who couldn't see his face clearly.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Apollo scratched his hair a little irritably.

The God of Plague asked back: "Do you still remember what happened when you were a child?"

Apollo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's already a bit blurry. I thought the things in my childhood were not very important, so I didn't write them down on paper, and I didn't write them down again. What's wrong?"

The God of Plague laughed softly: "It's nothing." Although he was laughing, he didn't have any joy, nor did he see it in his eyes.

"Don't just say half-"

"It's better to forget some things." The Plague God sighed, "Or wait until you are strong enough to retrieve these things."

Apollo froze for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious: "It sounds...these things are not good. Are they related to Diana?"

The God of Plague closed his eyes and nodded: "It is indeed related to her."

Apollo tentatively asked: "The mother—she suddenly went to the Kingdom of the Night, and this has something to do with it?"

"It's also related to this." The God of Plague sighed, "These are the most painful, darkest, and least willing to recall experiences in your life." I wish I had never had an experience.

Apollo froze for a moment.

"but……"

"But without those, I am no longer my complete self." Apollo frowned, as if he was saying to the god of plague, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "I understand, because I will Getting stuck in these dark memories and not being able to get out, and then... becoming stronger is the only way to eliminate these negative effects, right?"

The God of Plague nodded slightly: "That's right."

"These experiences must be painful and cruel." Apollo smiled, but he was not as cheerful as before.

The God of Plague stared at him for a while before saying, "Actually, you are better than I imagined."

"Oh?"

"I thought it would take at least two or three hundred years for you to withstand the burning of the phoenix fire." The plague god's tone was still light, giving Apollo the illusion of facing the "teacher" again. "Unfortunately, the current situation is not optimistic. Apollo, do you remember what she said about the terrible disaster in the future?"

"Some impressions."

"Then did she mention to you that in the city of Argos, there are some gods and demigods who are determined to 'revenge'?"

"She mentioned it a little bit, too."

"Then next, you must firmly remember every word I tell you..."

Setting up firewood, lighting a fire, sharpening the branches and skewering the prey to roast on the fire, all in one go.Diana turned the barbecue while waiting for Apollo to come back, kneaded the small balls by the way, and chatted with him.After Xiaotuanzi complained about his father's bad behavior tearfully, he nestled in Diana's arms obediently and told about his travel experience.

For example, when Xiaotuanzi passed the holy mountain of Olympus for the first time, he saw that the gods invited Prometheus in as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

For example, when Xiao Tuanzi passed by Argos again, holding the idea of ​​"since the plague has been eliminated, it must not let it spread again", he sprinkled Argos with medicinal powder again, but ushered in the rainbow goddess who fell from the sky.Rainbow Goddess stared at him for three quarters of an hour before turning and leaving Argos.At that time, the God of Plague was sitting on the city wall, with a little coldness in his dark golden eyes.

For another example, the biggest naval battle broke out in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and various strange diseases spread among the soldiers... Well, it is said that there are at least ten countries participating in the war this time.Egypt, Hittites, Assyria, Syria, and even Thebes and Sparta in Greece... Basically, all the top-ranked countries along the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea participated in the war.

The outcome of the war was naturally heavy casualties.

After the First World War, almost all countries were seriously injured, and there was no way to harass others in a short time.As for the invincible, arrogant and domineering Pharaoh Ramses, it has become an eternal legend, and was sincerely carved into reliefs by craftsmen, and worshiped for three days and three nights from time to time.

Diana thought of Ramses' last threatening letter, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Mother God." Xiaotuanzi leaned into her arms and counted with his fingers, "Uncle Architas, alas, it should be Grandpa Architas, who taught me what prime numbers are just yesterday. He He secretly asked me about the relationship between Princess Koronis and Her Majesty the Moon God, and I told him everything."

Diana smiled and rubbed his soft hair, somewhat missing the flaxen short-haired boy in Delphi Temple back then.Presumably since then, Architas had vaguely guessed her identity, but Apollo called her "Princess Coronis", so he pretended to be confused.

"There are more." Xiaotuanzi climbed onto Diana's shoulders with hands and feet, and whispered in her ear, "Let me tell you a secret, I met a goddess yesterday afternoon, she said her name is Athena ..."

"...These methods can allow you to achieve the greatest effect in the shortest time. After leaving Troy, don't go back to Olympus, go to Miletus. Keep two words firmly in mind: dormancy."

"Don't lift your cards easily."

"I have borrowed the soul of Isidore from Hades. If you are free, you can ask him to take you to the underworld to have a look, and talk to Pythagoras, Thales, Socrates... .”

"The weaker you are, the less Zeus will guard against you, and the less Hera will despise you. Only when the god king and queen stop paying attention to you, can you free your hands and feet to do what you really want to do. For example, bring Diana stay away from here, or as I said..."

"I won't do that." Apollo suddenly interrupted the plague god.

"Whether you do it or not is your own choice, and I can't interfere." The God of Plague turned his back, and his figure gradually disappeared into the air, "I should go, take care of Diana, otherwise——otherwise I will Can't wait to see her."

"Wait." Apollo stopped him, "I still don't understand something."

"Say."

"Why are they 'revenging' the gods?"

The God of Plague smirked slightly: "That was a long, long time ago. It's not important, and it's normal if you don't remember."

"But I want to know," said Apollo, "at least I want to know the reasons they have."

The God of Plague speaks.

Zeus used to be very scumbag, but also very flamboyant.

After he married Hera, he continued to hook up with goddesses and women, and these goddesses and women, without exception, escaped death several times under Hera's hands.After their children grew up, these half-blood heroes naturally harbored resentment towards Hera.

Same goes for Poseidon.

And Athena always likes to be competitive, and her emotional intelligence is really low, and the things she does are... Earlier, Medusa was chased by Poseidon, and she came all the way to Athena's temple, begging for Athena's protection, But he was still overpowered by Poseidon.Athena thought that she had defiled her temple, so she turned her hair into snakes and cast a curse: anyone and god who saw Medusa's eyes would be turned to stone.This is one of them.

Second, Athena competed with a human girl in weaving skills, but that human girl did not know what evil she did.In a rage, Athena turned her into a spider, and she could only stay on the roof and weave webs for the rest of her life, which is the second.

As for the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite hooked up with countless lovers before she got married... Now, there are still quite a few gods and demigods who are deliberately trying to win back the goddess of beauty.

Plus the Titans who were once defeated by Zeus, and Prometheus who once created humans for Zeus but was exiled by Zeus, including Prometheus' father, son and brothers... Oh, and a goddess of magic will be added recently Circe.Because she felt that the sun god offended her dignity.

All kinds of people gathered together, plus Typhon who was released from the abyss by someone, constituted the whole of the Avengers.

Apollo was silent for a long time before saying: "They always have a reason."

"And there are some legitimate reasons." The God of Plague smiled wryly, "Even a god will do all kinds of stupid things, and then in the next few thousand years, he will have to clean up the mess for these stupid things."

Apollo was silent again.

"I really should go." The God of Plague put on his dark golden mask again, and his low voice echoed in the forest, "As long as God still has desire, none of us can survive alone. Apollo, if there is One day, you have to go back to Olympus, so please remember, be careful—be careful of Daphne."

"Laurel goddess?" Apollo didn't respond for a while.

"Yes, the legend of the sun god pursuing the goddess of laurel has spread all over the sky and the earth." The plague god smiled slightly, "I will do my best to clear the way for you. But Apollo, You have to know that proper obstacles will make you grow faster."

"I understand." Apollo slightly bowed, "Thank you, teacher."

----

"Why hasn't Father God come back..." Xiaotuanzi twisted and twisted in Diana's arms, rubbing her with the cold jelly from time to time.If Father God doesn't come back, he basically won't be able to grow up smoothly, which is really troublesome.

A slender and strong hand suddenly grabbed Xiaotuanzi and rubbed it twice, followed by Apollo's familiar and hearty smile: "Boy, are you waiting for me to come back and beat you?"

Diana couldn't help laughing.

Xiaotuanzi blinked his eyes, and began to bargain with his fingers: "Hit me once, and give me a pack of grown-up medicine powder, how about it?"

Apollo glanced at him: "Dismiss."

"Oooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- by-" Xiaotuanzi gave up and kicked Apollo away, threw himself into Diana's arms

Apollo smiled indifferently, sat down beside Diana, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you bored waiting?"

Diana shook her head, and handed over a roasted... Well, because her meat cutting skills are not very good, it is no longer possible to tell whether it is a pheasant or a hare.However, it is said that when the goddess of hunting has nothing to do, she likes to hunt two wild boars or black bears for fun.

"he……"

"He's gone." Apo answered the words crisply, "Let me be burned by the fire of the phoenix a few times before I leave. I don't know how long I'll have to wait before dispelling that terrible curse."

"Apollo, I'm not actually..."

"Rejected." Apollo became more and more crisp.
