[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

It wasn't until the sky and clouds outside the temple stopped changing that Apollo let go of her, raised his hand slightly, pulled down the golden light curtain by the window, and said with a smile, "It's time for us to go out."

She gave a weary "hmm" and nestled in Apollo's arms, unwilling to move.

Apollo let out a muffled laugh, still combing her hair up and down, letting the sky fall and the ground sink, the whole world was floating in the dark void, and he didn't move at all—it was just a dream anyway.

"Sleep." He said softly.

It wasn't until Diana was full of sleep and had countless sweet dreams that she lazily opened her eyes in Apollo's arms.

Apollo just maintained the entire dream so steadily, without collapsing, or even making the slightest cracking sound, just to let her sleep more peacefully and not be woken up.Diana leaned on his steady and strong arm, but didn't want to get up, stretched out a finger, wrapped around his blond hair, and said rather rascally: "Shall we not go out?"

Apollo smiled dotingly: "Okay."

Diana looked up at him and stroked his blond hair again, with a smile in her eyes: "But this is the dream world."

Apollo laughed softly: "Don't be afraid, we can forcibly pry a small corner of the dream world."

Diana chuckled, "Rogue behavior."

Apollo didn't take it seriously at all: "When you live enough, we'll just make up for the Oneiroi. At most—well, at most, he will blackmail you once more."

Diana reached out and tapped his tall nose bridge: "Do you think the Oneiroi is Hermes? He's still blackmailing."

Apollo took her hand quickly, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and said vaguely: "That depends on what Dream God wants. Baby, if you have enough sleep, you might as well try to see if you can still sleep." Take the bow. The exit of this dream may be the underworld."

Diana gave a soft "hmm" and sat up from Apollo's embrace with great effort, and put on her robe.Apollo's eyes lit up, and he immediately took her over again, dressed her and tied her belt, and ate two handfuls of smooth and tender tofu, and then reluctantly let her go, put on his clothes and stood up, Opening his arms, Diana buttoned his clothes.

After cleaning up, Apollo raised his hand slightly, and the entire Sun Temple shattered, and the surrounding gradually melted into an endless void.Apollo whispered: "Follow me." Then he took her hand and walked along the spiral path to outside the dream world.

Diana was a little curious: "How do you know the entrance and exit of the dream world?"

Apollo smiled and said, "Last time Aspirekius took me there once."

She silently marveled at Apollo's amazing memory.

Even with Apollo, it took a lot of effort to get out of the maze-like dream world.

Sure enough, as Apollo expected, the underworld is beyond the dream world, and it is also a heavily guarded underworld.Hades was not there, and the giants of the underworld were also not there. Apollo took Diana out without any effort, and he didn't feel anything special except for some surprises.

But after leaving the underworld, the two main gods were stunned.

The human world is like being invaded by floods, no, it is as clean as it has been infested by locusts, and there are large clouds of fire in the sky, and Zeus's furious voice came from the peak of Olympus: "Can't do it? - Hey, If you can’t do it, don’t do it!”

Apollo frowned slightly: "Prometheus is locked up."

Diana let out a soft "huh": "I didn't see..." She looked down at herself, and suddenly realized, "After leaving the dream world, I became a human again, right?"

Apollo gave a soft "hmm".

Diana asked again: "What happened in the dream world..."

"Most of them are true." Apollo embraced her, kissed her lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you to Delphi. Stay obediently during this time and don't run around. Wait for me to deal with the matter." After you're done, I'll pick you up again."

Diana nodded and said hello.

After Apollo sent her back to Delphi, he turned around and went back to Olympus.Diana went to see her father and mother in this life, and expressed to them her apology for disappearing for so long without reason.Unexpectedly, the father of the Sun God priest stroked his beard and burst out laughing: "His Majesty the Sun God favors you, this is a good thing."

Diana turned her head silently, how could she meet this kind of father every time she was reincarnated?

But to her surprise, Daphne actually came to Delphi again, looking for her by name.

Before going to see Daphne, Diana had already inquired clearly.Loki had indeed left, and Typhon had indeed fallen into a deep sleep.As for Prometheus, it was purely that he himself hit the muzzle of Zeus.In the past two years, Zeus's temper has become more and more fiery. If something goes wrong, he will catch the little god and scold him. Prometheus actually annoyed Zeus again at this time...

If the timing is not right, it is useless no matter how great your skills are.

What Apollo said earlier is "mostly true", and that must be it.As for Daphne...

She thought of the towering laurel plant in her dream, and the deliberate quarrel outside the Sun Temple, and her favorability for the laurel goddess had dropped to the lowest point.

When Daphne saw her, she didn't talk nonsense, and said lightly, "Are you weird, why do I know where you are" and flung her over.

Before coming here, Diana had thought about it for a long time, and replied: "At most, there are only two reasons. First, Apollo rarely accepts priestesses, especially those raised from childhood; With silver hair and silver eyes like me."

Daphne laughed twice: "You are really very clear."

"Thank you for the compliment." Diana replied in a neutral tone, pondering for a while the true meaning of "clear".

"Remember what I told you earlier?" Daphne asked.

Diana smiled: "There are eighty or one hundred words you said to me. How do I know which sentence you are referring to?"

"'three times'."

Diana's face changed slightly.

She remembered that night when the poisonous snake was beautiful. Daphne was taken to the Temple of the Moon God by her, but she told her personally that she would try Apollo three times.

"Your Excellency the Laurel Goddess." Diana spoke slowly, saying every word, "I didn't have any position to stop you at that time, but it doesn't mean that I will tolerate your doing so now. You should be very clear that if it is now, you still I'm coveting Apollo—" She paused for a moment, with a hint of cruelty in her tone, "Don't blame me for being rude."

Daphne sneered: "I didn't expect you to be polite to me."

"I'm glad you understand that."

"You are very clear, really very clear." Daphne didn't know whether to sigh with emotion or sigh, and finally smiled slightly, "If I have you as my opponent, I will not be lonely in the future. It's a pity that Apollo loves you so much, love It's a little... a little crazy. Diana, please forgive me, you have dragged him down."

"Whether it is a drag or not, I don't bother you to comment."

"Yes, yes, yes, now that you two are in love, of course I can't do anything else." Daphne laughed dryly, "In fact, the more I tried Apollo, the more I felt like a clown. Di Anna, if I give up harassing Apollo and go to test Ares, will you help me?"

Diana couldn't help laughing: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Yes, what does this have to do with you?" Daphne shook her head and sighed, "It's true that I was thinking too much. But there are some things that I can't have. Oh, Diana, I am on Apollo I left you a gift as a reward for 'stopping' me from being promoted to God Empress. How about it, are you interested in knowing?"

Diana lacked interest: "No."

"You'll like it." Daphne's smile was a little weird.

Diana sneered, "I'll just tell you one thing: I will never, ever doubt Apollo."

"Oh?..." Daphne deliberately dragged the long ending, "Really? Diana, as long as you are a goddess, you must have the weakness of a goddess. Don't overestimate your ability to bear, when Apollo betrays you— —”

"He won't betray me."

"Being a god can't be too self-confident, otherwise it becomes conceited."

Diana sneered: "I have always been very conceited in this matter."

Daphne chuckled lightly: "Then, I wish you good luck."

The goddess of laurel left, leaving behind the fragrance of laurel flowers all over the sky.

It is rumored both in the sky and in the world that Daphne is Apollo's first love, and Apollo has suffered and worked hard for her, but the goddess of laurel has always dismissed him.In the end, the goddess of laurel passed away, leaving only a pink ancient legend.

But not long after, Delphi received a solar oracle: cut off all the laurel and plant apples instead.

Hey, such a romantic and beautiful pink laurel legend, and such an ordinary apple, are not of the same order at all, okay?

When Diana went to ask Apollo, the guy was still plausible: "Aren't apples bad? Apples have solved a big problem for you! The laurel wreaths at the Tia Games were changed to apple branches! Well, objections? Anyone who dares to object will plant ten apple trees in front of the house, and if there is one less, I will give him a whole ten house of apples!"

Diana was dumbfounded, and all the surrounding gods couldn't help laughing.

In the end, Hermes held back a smile and patted Apollo on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up: "You have really spared no effort to get rid of the relationship with Daphne, Apollo."

Apollo resolutely refused to admit that he insisted on doing this in order to get rid of his relationship with Daphne.

Diana told him the phrase "I left you a gift on Apollo" left by Daphne, but concealed the phrase "When Apollo betrayed you".Only ghosts believe that Apollo will betray her, and she is not a ghost.

Apollo searched himself carefully, and then searched again in the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of Light. After making sure that he didn't find anything strange, he gradually put the matter aside.Just at this time, Iapetus was furious because of Prometheus, went to the sea in person, found the oldest sea god Oceanus, submitted a meeting application, and wanted to hold another meeting of the gods in the Temple of Order .

And Oceanos actually agreed.
