[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

The thin voice of the goddess of youth was thrown into the calm sea like a boulder, stirring up a thousand waves.

If there were any doubts before, it is really a certainty now.

but……

"Who took it away?" Apollo asked again.

"Isn't this an obvious thing, Apollo." Hera glanced at him, "Obviously, Hercules was the one who took Hebe away."

Apollo ignored her and asked the goddess of youth again: "Who is it?"

The Goddess of Youth glanced at Hera again, then said with a sob: "I, I don't know..."

do not know?

If it was said that a single stone stirred up a thousand waves before, then now the waves can really reach the sky.

She even said, she didn't know?

The gods looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.Terry showed a shocked expression, and Hercules spread his hands and said, "Look, it really is like this."

Hera stood up and walked in front of the goddess of youth, with a hint of anger in her tone: "You really don't know?"

The goddess of youth shook her head, sobbing a few times.

"I know."

Despona on the side suddenly said, "I saw the person who took her away with my own eyes."

"Who?"

"Hercules."

"You lied!" Hercules jumped up and rushed to Despora, gnashing his teeth.Hera pulled out a rope from nowhere, tied Hercules tightly, and then said to Despora: "Go on."

"The person who was with her at the time was me—" Despora said.From the time when the goddess of youth visited her, to the time when the two of them started chatting, they simply slept in the same bed and continued to chat, and then when they heard a loud noise outside, when they went out to look again, the Hydra had already been chopped off by Hercules. kill……

A chill flashed in Despora's eyes, but it was not obvious: "Then, he knocked Heber out and put it on his shoulder, then knocked me out again, and disappeared from then on."

"You lied!" Hercules snarled.

Despora smiled coldly: "I lied? Then tell me, what is the truth?"

Hercules froze.

There was a strange smile on Despora's face: "... speechless? Your Highness, the Queen of Heaven, the facts are obvious, this is the person. Well, maybe he can be called a 'half god' reluctantly."

Apollo, who had been listening quietly for a long time, suddenly asked, "Do you love Hydra?"

"What?" Despora was startled.

"I remember, from the last time I saw you and Hydra in the Tempe Valley until Hydra was killed, you have never left his side for 300 years." Apollo smiled slightly, "You love him, don't you?"

Despora's heart shuddered.

The sun god's eyes can see through almost everything, digging out the facts she tried to hide bit by bit, without any falsehood.

—How did she forget that Apollo is here, you idiot?

"Looks like I guessed right."

Apollo's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a strange indifference.

The facts are already clear.

Apollo's heart was as clear as crystal, the kidnapping of Hebe had nothing to do with Hercules, at least Hercules didn't take the initiative to kidnap Hebe.What kind of role Despora played in it is already obvious.

But the question is, should he expose her?

Apollo glanced at the balance in the hands of the Lady Justice.The balance is still held steadily, without bias to any side.

"enough."

Zeus slapped the table, stood up, and said in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what the reason, the Triton rebellion is always a fact. Hera is right, since it has become a fact, it must be punished." .”

"Zeus!" Poseidon stood up abruptly, the veins on his forehead twitching.

"There is no need to say any more." Zeus interrupted him roughly, and issued thirteen punishment orders to Triton and Hercules in one breath.As for the gods who jointly rebelled in the sea world, including the victims Despora and the goddess of youth, Hebe, they were all punished.

The gods are quite dissatisfied with this one-size-fits-all approach.

But recently Zeus seems to be a little irritable, even a little anxious, and he handles things in a special way... especially "following one's inclinations".

Apollo couldn't help but persuaded: "Your Majesty..."

"That's it." Zeus interrupted him roughly.

Apollo was still waiting to say something, when suddenly a little priest broke in from outside and said to Zeus in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is not good! Argos is rebelling!!!"

All the gods were shocked.

"After Jason retrieved the Golden Fleece, the city of Argos encountered a plague. Although the God of Medicine eliminated the plague later, the royal family had already escaped completely, so Jason succeeded the king. Now, Now he ordered the temple to be pulled down and demolished, saying that the human world does not need gods, and he, Jason, and Argos don't even need gods!"

"Ah."

Zeus smiled coldly, "Should I admire his courage, or should I mock his arrogance and ignorance?"

"Father!" Athena stood up, "I am willing to punish Argos for you."

Zeus nodded slowly.

Apollo turned around and bowed slightly to Zeus: "If I don't have anything to do for a while, I'll go back to Delphi first."

"Just go back," Zeus replied.

Apollo pressed his chest with his left hand and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

----

Delphi.

coastal.

Diana sat under the palm tree, concentrating on reading the minutes of the meeting delivered last night.

A very faint fragrance of palm blossoms spread, gradually filling the entire island.

She raised her head, only to find that a large number of palm trees on the island were in bloom.

The next moment, she had fallen into a fiery embrace.Apollo's gentle kiss lingered on his lips, with deep thoughts and sighs: "I miss you so much."

"You have been away for two hundred and seven days." She murmured to herself.

Apollo sighed helplessly.

Yes, two hundred and seven days.

From the time he received the news of countering the rebellion, to sending her away, to cleaning up those fussy guys, and playing a guessing game with them, and finally learning about the Argos rebellion under the inexplicable anxiety of Zeus The news... There have been a lot of bad things recently.

Diana put her arms around him, and also said in a low voice, "I miss you too." Thinking like never before.

Apollo laughed softly, held her face in his hands, and kissed her along her eyebrows and eyes.She struggled a little, then leaned softly in his arms and did not move.She knew all too well what Apollo wanted to do, and so did she.

The breeze, the waves, the deserted beach, and the faint scent of palm blossoms.

The waterfall-like golden light curtain blocked all possible prying eyes, and made Diana seem to be bathed in golden sunlight. Almost her whole body melted into Apollo's arms, leaning against his strong shoulders, panting softly.

Apollo is a little anxious today.

He wanted her over and over again, hot sweat rolled down her cheeks, hitting her skin drop by drop, making her panting harder, but it made him more anxious and stronger up.

"Um……"

"Apollo..."

"I really... miss you very much..."

Until the sun gradually went down, Apollo hugged her and lay both on the white fine sand, kissed her long silver hair, and sighed with satisfaction.Diana didn't even want to move her fingers anymore, she leaned lazily in Apollo's arms and asked him, "Can I go back?"

"Well... not yet."

"why?"

"I'm worried about 'bad luck'." Apollo smiled wryly. "You know, if you are still human, then no matter what bad luck you encounter, I, or yourself, can easily erase it. But if..." He He closed his eyes lightly, and the golden eyelashes cast two small fan-shaped shadows, "If you are a god and you suffer the misfortune of the gods, I..."

"Apollo." Diana half propped herself up and looked at him, "But I haven't suffered from 'bad luck' for a long, long time."

"Just in case."

"But……"

"Don't say 'but', baby." Apollo picked her up, and caressed the emblem of light on her body with his palm, "Even if you reincarnated countless times, reincarnated into various people , I will still recognize you."

Diana quickly pressed his hand: "Don't, don't touch it."

Apollo laughed again, bit her earlobe maliciously, and said to her almost angrily: "Well, I won't touch it randomly, I—— use 'do'."

Well……

This guy……

Diana felt that it was necessary to give him an ideological education lesson.

The sun has completely set, and a crescent moon is slowly rising.

Apollo dressed Diana one by one, and took Diana to a hot spring in a very naughty manner, and then lay side by side on the bed with her, letting her fall asleep in his arms.

"Apollo." Diana asked in a daze, "Is the recent movement in Olympus a bit strange?"

"You found out?" Apollo was a little surprised.

"For those who come to Delphi for pilgrimage, the prayers are already a little different." She was so sleepy that she yawned again and again, but she still insisted on asking, "Is there anything else besides the sea boundary rebellion? I— —I always feel that everything I know about the 'future' has been overturned since I became an undead..."

A butterfly flapping its wings can set off a storm in the Atlantic Ocean.

She has been reborn for so many years, and the butterfly storm that she caused was so small?

Apollo replied vaguely: "Probably." Then he lowered his head and kissed her eyes, and said in his usual gentle tone, "Sleep."
