[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

In a short period of time, the war in Olympus continued to expand. Demeter fought five battles. Even if Zeus's strength was not at its peak, at least there were people helping him. Although Demeter Strong, but it can't last too long. If they didn't need Demeter to tell the whereabouts of the person who took away Zeus' divine power, Demeter would have died no less than a hundred times.

It really takes some effort to catch Demeter without killing her. Others don't know Demeter's ability, and the ones who cooperated with her in the Titan War are close brothers and sisters The few gods in her life didn't dare to underestimate her at all.

Five gods surrounded her tightly, and she could not escape no matter what.

But it was also at this time that Poseidon took people to fight Olympus. Obviously, Zeus's unscrupulousness made Poseidon extremely angry, so even though he lost to Zeus every time, he still fought against Olympus. up.

It was also the addition of the power of Poseidon that opened the prelude to the melee in Olympus.

Even after a long time, some gods who are still alive recall the last war before the fall of the gods. Even after thinking for a long time, they can't explain how this war expanded. Most people just know that it was the goddess of harvest. Meter "betrayed" Olympus and was hunted down by several gods. Zeus, the king of the gods, personally took action. the whole situation.

No one knows exactly why Demeter betrayed Olympus, what she did to arouse the anger of several gods, and they don't know why Poseidon suddenly joined the fight in the middle of the fight. The battle situation has become one of the main forces disrupting the situation.

But remembering the rumor that Poseidon once pursued Demeter, many gods are not surprised that Poseidon hit Olympus for no reason.

At first, many gods fought against Poseidon under the leadership of Apollo and Athena, but later on, even the gods of Olympus became chaotic by themselves.

"Poseidon, now is not the time for melee." Zeus didn't dare to tell Poseidon that someone took away half of his power. If he dared to say this, Poseidon would definitely try his best to kill him. Killing himself, he pointed to Demeter, "This woman has hidden a disaster. If we can't find out that disaster, then the entire God Realm will be in danger."

Just like when they first overthrew their father, with the same goal and the same interests, Zeus believed that Poseidon would definitely join forces with him.

Wait until Poseidon is dragged into the water to deal with Demeter, and let Demeter consume Poseidon, so that he won't worry about being beaten by Poseidon later.

But what Zeus didn't expect was that even though he said that, Poseidon didn't move at all. He just frowned, his expression cold and violent, and he was even more terrifying than the furious Zeus before.

Many people have seen the furious Poseidon, but they haven't seen him at this time. Everyone will know that once Poseidon gets angry, he will lose his mind, but at this moment, Poseidon is undoubtedly furious, but he But he was extremely calm, and after listening to Zeus's words, he didn't rush to find trouble with Demeter, but kept looking at Zeus.

Zeus's heart skipped a beat, he always felt that there was something wrong with Poseidon today.

The people brought by Poseidon disrupted the entire God Realm. The emotional depression these days and the desire to move because of the words of the Mother Earth were intertwined, and finally made the entire God Realm a mess.

Even if Zeus spoke at this time, no one would listen to him.

More than half of the twelve gods of Olympus gathered together to deal with Demeter, while the rest joined the melee.

Some gods chose to watch from a distance. If someone shot at them, then they didn't mind doing it.

Poseidon was silent for a moment, after all, he did not trouble Demeter, but Zeus.

"Poseidon!" Rhea yelled, "Are you crazy, the most important thing now is to catch Demeter!"

Demeter looked at Rhea coldly, without saying a word.

"Do you know how much disaster you did to the ocean?" Poseidon did not show mercy. Compared with his crazy behavior before, what he did now seems to be after careful consideration.

A lunatic who does not lose his mind is the scariest thing.

"If something happens to Amphitrite, Zeus, I want your entire God Realm to be destroyed for her." Zeus's previous consciousness caused an accident in the entire sea area. As the masters of the sea, Poseidon and Amphitrite faced Zeus. The "peeping" of Zeus naturally had to resist, after all, the couple didn't have much affection for Zeus.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zeus would forcefully explore the sea area, and it was because of this that something happened to Amphitrite.

If it wasn't for this accident, he would not have known that Amphitrite's health had deteriorated to such a degree during his campaign across the world.

Annoyance and anger finally made Poseidon settle down with Amphitrite, and brought people here.

Rhea saw that Poseidon really wanted to embarrass Zeus, so she stepped forward to help, and Hera naturally would not let Zeus be injured. Although Poseidon is powerful, but several gods teamed up, he could not get any benefits, so Then retreated to Demeter's side.

Demeter was out of breath at this point.

She glanced at Zeus, then at Rhea.

Holding the scepter, she smiled slowly: "Zeus, do you know why Gaia left such words?"

Zeus looked at her sternly.

"The disaster in Olympus was originally salvageable, but unfortunately, someone took away half of your power," she sneered, "How did the person who took your power appear, I hope you haven't forgotten."

Hera bit her lip tightly.

If Zeus hadn't raped Demeter, Demeter would not have given birth to a child related to Zeus.

In this world, although the reproduction of gods is extremely simple, the connection of blood is the most mysterious one.

It is precisely because the child has a connection with Zeus that he can take away Zeus's power without anyone knowing it.

If it wasn't for Zeus being so sentimental, if he wasn't for being so unscrupulous...

"The so-called unscrupulousness, have you guessed what it is?" Demeter laughed, and the scepter in her hand suddenly turned into powder and disappeared in her hand, "It must be hard to taste the evil fruit you planted. .” She slowly lifted herself into the air and opened her arms.

Countless vines crawled from the direction of her palace and gathered below her.

"Zeus, not everyone should be under your rule. My father is still unable to keep his own things, and you are the same."

Zeus' face turned black.

The position of their father was overthrown by himself and taken away from him by himself. At the beginning, he was afraid that his children would take everything from him, so he swallowed every child, and Zeus didn't care about the possibility of threatening himself. Did the gods at the location make arrangements in advance?

Now, what Demeter said, does it mean that in the future, the child who took away his abilities will come to overthrow him?

Since their father's defenses have failed, is Demeter implying that he did the same?

"I'm waiting for your end. Before that, let me give you another gift." Before the words fell, the vines on the ground suddenly sprang up rapidly, as if they wanted to catch her in mid-air, but she rose higher and higher , and then turned around leisurely, and a radiant light appeared on his body. This kind of light is very dazzling in the human world, but it will not affect the sight of the gods.

Hera sighed leisurely.

No matter how much she hated Demeter at the beginning, no matter how angry she was about Demeter giving birth to Zeus's child, and that child attracted Zeus's yearning after growing up, at this moment, seeing Demeter After Terr's decision, all emotions finally became helpless.

The light faded away, and the veil on Demeter's body was gone, and she returned to the most primitive naked form when the god was born, with blond hair scattered on her body, holy and pure.

She whispered a passage of language, like the prayers of human sacrifices, but with more power than it.

Afterwards, her body began to disappear, turning into dots of light. In the end, these light dots, like fireflies, penetrated the realm of the gods, scattered into the vast human world and brought them to the land.

The whole Olympus fell into silence because of Demeter's movement.

Everyone looked up to her.

Watch her disappear before the gods.

This twilight of the gods kicked off with the sacrifice of the Harvest Goddess as the starting point.

"I will bring the harvest to the earth. From now on, no new God of Harvest will be born in Olympus..." The cold voice permeated every corner, and the light that fell on the earth was soft. To calm people's inner irritability, the divine power belonging to Demeter, after all, slowly disappeared from this world, and she merged into the earth.

Everyone was frightened by what Demeter did, no one thought that she would willingly give up everything she had and dedicate it to the earth. From now on, whether the crops in the human world are harvested or not has nothing to do with the gods. relationship, they are enough to support their own sky with their own hands.

What Demeter did was undoubtedly helping humans challenge the authority of the gods, just like Prometheus brought flames for humans.

If you know how to make fire, you will not expect the favor of the gods. Once humans know that they can rely on their own hands to get a good harvest, their dependence on the gods will decrease.

Not to mention, long ago, when Gaia disappeared in Olympus, the gods lost control of the land.

At the moment Demeter disappeared, Meros, who was far away in the underworld, regained consciousness at that moment.

He looked at the top of the bed for a long time, but still couldn't explain what the pain in his heart was.

He didn't know what happened to Olympus yet, but at the moment Demeter disappeared, the connection between mother and child made him feel the pain in his heart inexplicably.

"Are you awake?" He heard Hades' voice ringing in his ears.

He paused, and was about to answer what Hades said, when he heard a familiar voice: "Well, how long have I been asleep?"

Melos was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He watched Hades sitting not far in front of him in astonishment, holding his body in his arms.

It was indeed his body, but he could only watch from the sidelines in amazement.

"Zeus must have noticed something is wrong," Hades said while hugging the person in his arms. "It should have been his power that hit you before, and your connection with him hasn't disappeared yet."

Melos watched in a daze as his body withdrew from Hades' arms, and then smiled at Hades: "In other words, he finally discovered my existence."

"Are you afraid?" Hades pressed his forehead against the other's.

Melos saw "I" holding Hades' hand, and shook his head gently.

He stared blankly at the intimate interaction between the two, then lowered his head.

From where he can see, he can't see his own figure, can't feel his own existence, and now he is not even a soul, just like air, but he can indeed see everything around him, he Knowing that he is still there, but he is not sure what form he is in.

And others can't see him, and he can't see himself.

He wasn't imprisoned in his own body, because he could control his perspective, and he could choose to follow the two of them or leave the palace, but he didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that the original consciousness of this body was awakened, so he was ejected?

Or, since he can travel through, there must be someone else who can travel through, but that person's soul is stronger than his own, so he squeezes himself out of the body?

but……

Melos carefully observed the interaction between "self" and Hades. The person's every move was no different from his own. He believed that if his body was occupied by other consciousness, Hades would be able to detect the difference between them .

But...but now it looks like that person is himself!

So... Then what is his soul that is not considered a soul standing outside?
