[Greek Mythology] Father of the Earth

"I do not believe."

Raising his head again, Uranus broke free from Tartarus' embrace.He met Tartarus' gaze, and his calm and clear eyes really looked like Gaia's three points, which made Tartarus suddenly think of the blond god who handed him the clothes at the beginning. When he bent down, the god was also Look at him with this attitude, neither far nor near.

"Uranus, didn't Godhead tell you already?"

Tartarus stopped his slightly distracted thoughts, his dark red pupils were like an endless abyss, and Uranus, who was staring at him, lacked concentration after all, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Godhead is just a dead thing. I can't believe that Father God will have an affair with you." Uranus said awkwardly. Although he was in a free-range state most of the time, he still learned some key things from Gaia.For example, face the world with a questioning attitude, and don't easily shake your own thoughts.

To this day, before Gaia did not deny it, he still believed that Eros was his mother god.

And in front of this...

Forgive him for his limited ability to accept, and temporarily cannot agree.

"There is actually another way to verify this." Tartarus was not displeased. If he could be abducted so easily, he wouldn't be the future God King.He thought about Gaia's temper, and said with [-]% certainty: "Does Gaia rarely touch you, especially when you were just born, and only Eros took care of you."

"It doesn't mean anything."

Uranus was stabbed in the heart by this sentence, and retorted a little heartbroken.

"Yes, this cannot be proven. Why don't you try to ask Gaia to kiss on the cheek on your birthday." Tartarus leaned down, and his ruthless lips evoked a smile that made a child's heart shudder. , cold, and with a bit of malicious playfulness. "He must be unwilling to approach you from the bottom of his heart, because he will think of me when he sees you."

Eyes slightly opened, the young Uranus dared not move for a moment, because of the 'past' hidden under these words.

In the end, he chose to give it a try.

Confidently rushing back to the Temple of the Earth, Uranus successfully put aside his previous purpose, and his only thought was to verify Tartarus' words.He came to a sudden stop when he was running towards the father's dormitory, he pondered for a while, and decided to turn around and find Eros as a backup.

When Gaia woke up from a comfortable sleep, Eros who ran over threw him on the bed, and the girl happily told him.

"Brother, let's celebrate Uranus' birthday."

"—?"

Gaia's blue eyes were dazed for the first time, rubbing his painful waist, he sat up, revealing a large white chest from under the quilt.Eros didn't have time to take another look, and her eyes fell into darkness for an instant, and a blanket was tightly stuck to her face.

"You are a girl, you are not allowed to break into the male god's bedroom in the future, even if it is me."

Gaia walked out of bed calmly, her slender legs stepped on the soft and thick carpet, and her loose blond hair immediately covered her buttocks.He picked up the classical robe hanging on the side, squinted at Eros who was crying in the quilt, and said unwaveringly: "Eros, I am getting dressed, the quilt cannot be taken off."

Erosher stopped pulling the quilt, and responded aggrievedly.

Generally, Gaia will let Eros arrange the small things, and this time is no exception.So after some time, Uranus celebrated his first birthday since he was born.At this time, there were no living beings in the world, and the only things that could be served on the table were abundant and fresh fruits, which Eros picked one by one with his own hands in a basket.

"Thank you, Mother God."

Uranus' eyes were moved. The Greek God didn't know too much restraint. He expressed the happiness in his heart with a hug.When it was his turn to face Gaia, Uranus walked up to him hesitantly, his eyes turned expectant.

He said dryly, "Father, can you kiss me?"

Gaia, who was sitting on the main seat, put down his hand twirling the grapes, his gentle expression paused, not understanding that Uranus, who usually feared him, would make such a request.However, this question could not be answered, and Eros looked at him expectantly with his chin resting in front of the table, wanting to see the beautiful scene of harmony between father and son.

Isn't this the happiness that the long-lived gods are pursuing?

"..." Gaia silently stared at the face of the blond boy, whose bright blue eyes reflected his figure, but none of these could change his memory of his birth.Yes, Uranus is his child, but he is also the child of Tartarus, a god born out of expectation to fulfill a task.

"Uranus, my child—this is my gift to you."

He lowered his eyes and put the gift prepared yesterday into his hand.Uranus stared at him in a daze, holding a necklace he gave him. The necklace was inlaid with life crystals condensed from the earth. Everyone knew how precious this thing was.

Eros put his hand down, and was surprised to find that Gaia smiled apologetically, got up and left the birthday party.

"elder brother……"

Hearing Eros calling his name behind him, Gaia felt uncomfortable and strode away.He thought he could forget that sense of shame, but after being asked by Uranus to get closer, that feeling of forgetting appeared unexpectedly, and he couldn't deny that he hated touching this child.

Behind, Uranus' blue pupils overflowed with mist, but stubbornly refused to fall out of their sockets.

What's the use of precious things...

After all, Gaia underestimated the self-esteem of the gods. Uranus threw the necklace to the ground and ran outside the Earth Temple.He disregarded Eros' call and came to the sky panting all the way.When he saw Tartarus, his first words were: "Why does God the Father hate to touch me?"

"Because you are his child."

Tartarus reached out his hand under the sleeve and wiped the tears from the blond child's eyelashes with his fingertips. "What do you mean?" With Uranus eager to find out, he cast his gaze behind Uranus and said unhurriedly.

"Did you say so, dear Gaia?"

"Sure enough, you are talking too much."

Gaia showed his trace with a cold face. In fact, the moment Uranus ran out of the temple, he regretted it a little.Fearing that Uranus would do something stupid when he was angry, he hurriedly followed. He didn't expect that the place where the child would go was the sky.

As soon as he saw Tartarus present, he knew something was wrong.

"You made me unable to go back to the abyss, this revenge is not enough." Tartaros adheres to the principle of never losing money, and has always been at odds with Gaia in essence, especially when he found the opportunity to contact Uranus this time.He hugged the sad Uranus, patted the child's immature back, and said leisurely: "Why, regret it?"

"...It's not your turn to intervene in the matter of Uranus."

Gaia looked at Uranus who didn't look back at him, and his face became complicated.Tartarus was blocked for a while, and the interest in competing suddenly appeared, "Gaia, if you don't want to raise it, give it to me, and my child will not be raised by that little girl Eros."

Gaia sneered and said, "You let a sky god run to live in an abyss full of darkness?"

Regarding the ownership of Uranus, the smell of gunpowder between the two gods immediately intensified, and Naihe, the key child, made the decision.

"I'm going to the abyss."

Gaia's smile froze, and her eyes shifted to Uranus coldly.He grabbed Tartarus' robe tightly, stared at Gaia with blue eyes, and repeated: "I choose to go to the Nether Abyss with the Mother Goddess."

Gaia: "..."

Tartarus: "...Wait, what do you call me?"

Uranus looked at him strangely, and said word by word: "Mother God, can't you?"

The God of the Abyss' almost paralyzed face almost shattered, completely unable to understand the logic of Uranus.Seeing this scene, Gaia covered her lips with her hands and coughed a few times, and said gloatingly: "Forget it, you can go live with him for a while, and when you want to come back, I will pick you up again .”

This was said faster than flipping a book, and Uranus didn't even come back to his senses, and directly let Gaia and Tartaros transition the custody.

Gaia could not refuse to wear the necklace given today to the child. The breath of the earth should be able to reduce his rejection in the abyss.Tartarus' expression was obscure, and he wanted to swallow his words. In fact, the Nether Abyss would not harm his direct bloodline children.

Uranus turned his head awkwardly, and stuffed the necklace and pendant worn by Father God himself into his clothes, but the reddish ears betrayed his thoughts.

Gaia sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that she usually did something wrong.

Such emotions of being a father lingered in his heart. He watched Tartarus take the child away, and seemed to see pictures hundreds or even thousands of years ago in the corner of his memory.The difference is that it was a family of three at that time, and the person holding the child had a father and a mother, standing in the middle and smiling very happily.

What is lost can never be recovered, but compared to the option of never being able to go home, he still has a new future.

Standing on the cold cloud, Gaia closed his eyes, leaned back, and let himself fall from the cloud into the lower world.On the other side, just as he was about to step into the abyss passage with Uranus in his arms, Tartarus stopped in his tracks.

"Mother God?" Uranus asked anxiously.

Tartarus withdrew his gaze from the distance, and said to Uranus unbearably: "Don't call me the mother goddess, he wasted his strength to give birth to you."

The truth of birth fell unexpectedly, knocking Uranus dizzy.
