modern greek mythology

Hermes' mind was blank, only to see the white soul gradually pulling out from the corpse on the ground, floating upwards slowly like a balloon.

Suddenly a hand appeared, holding the wandering soul.

Hermes raised his head and met a pair of cold eyes.

The goddess floated in mid-air, looking at him coldly, without any emotion in her eyes.

She is the most mysterious goddess in the world, she has always existed, but no one can see her or hold her.

She is the manipulator of all things in the world, and everyone must follow her settings and follow her arranged trajectory like a planet.

She has a shocking name - fate.

"why me……"

Her intuition told Hermes that all this was not a coincidence.

"Outsider, you will determine the future of the entire Protoss."

Goddess of Destiny left this sentence, carrying Zhang Xiaomo's soul, hiding in the vast darkness.

Hermes was left alone, looking at the lifeless skin on the ground, with lingering fear in his heart.

funeral

Hermes never dreamed that he could still attend his funeral.

In fact, it was just a small ceremony. Watching my own skin turn into a pile of ashes in the incinerator and put it in a wooden box, this life will pass.

A few brothers who were on the road together before they were alive, with tears and snot in their noses, went to the cemetery with the box in their hands.

Hermes didn't show up, but followed them quietly.

But what he didn't expect was that the man would appear.

They haven't seen each other since they ran away from home at the age of 14, and visiting him after thousands of years is more like looking at a stranger.

Hermes almost forgot what he looked like, but he recognized the belt around his waist that he often pulled out to whip himself.

The man who used to be as strong as a mountain in front of him is now like a dry old tree, with many gray hairs sprouting out of his temples for no reason.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, he stared blankly at the name on the tombstone, his hands trembled slightly, as if he was holding back something.

"I've been looking for you for so many years...I didn't expect to meet you like this..."

The man muttered, and Hermes hid behind someone else's tombstone and listened silently.

When the sender left, the man couldn't hold on any longer, and knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaomo's tombstone with a "plop", crying and cursing while hugging the cold stone tablet.

"Bastard! You bastard! You actually left me, a bad old man, you cruel bastard!"

Hermes cursed inwardly: Damn, if you hadn't kicked me out of the house, would I have run into the city and been hit by a car to death?

The man continued to beat his chest and howl: "I've been looking for you all these years, but I didn't expect you to become like this...You cruel child, you don't even give your father a chance to redeem himself..."

Hermes lowered his head silently, always thinking that Zhang Xiaomo left without worries, but he never thought that there would be people crying for him in this world...

"Old man, don't be too sad." Zhang Xiaomo's former best friend, Gou, stepped forward to help the old man, "Xiaomo knows... besides, he didn't go wrong. It was a big Mercedes that hit him, and the compensation is enough for you I will enjoy it for the rest of my life."

When Hermes heard this, he cursed in his heart: This dead dog!Have you ever spoken like that!

I originally wanted to subsidize you 100 million to start a business, but now it seems that [-] is enough!

The man turned his head and glared at Agou: "Is it useful to lose money! No amount of money can be exchanged for my living son!"

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm just talking... You always look down on Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo said... It doesn't matter if you have him or not..."

The man fell silent, and lowered his head dejectedly.

After a long time, he sighed: "Baby, you have never been a father before, and you don't know what it means to be a father... There is no father in this world who doesn't love his children, only those who don't know how to love. When you repent, it will be too late." It's..."

The man wiped his tears again as he spoke, and the wrinkles became deeper.

Just sitting in front of Zhang Xiaomo's tomb for an afternoon.

"Uncle, let's go back, it's getting dark..."

"You go first, I will accompany him again." The man wiped the words on the tombstone with his sleeve, "I have never accompanied him much before, and we quarreled as soon as we met, like enemies, and now I can finally sit together quietly. son..."

"Well, I'll go first, take care of yourself."

After Agou left, the cemetery was silent.

The man leaned against the tombstone and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the mist, he felt that someone was putting something on his body. The man looked at it slightly, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Xiao, Xiaomo..."

"……father."

"Xiaomo! It's really you!" The man excitedly held Zhang Xiaomo's hand, and burst into tears, "Father knew you didn't leave...you didn't leave!"

"Hey, I'm not here." Zhang Xiaomo pointed to his own tomb, and sat next to the man, "I went to another world."

"Oh... how are you doing over there?"

"Okay." Zhang Xiaomo nodded, "Everyone there treats me very well."

"Have you married a wife yet? Do you want dad to make one for you?"

Zhang Xiaomo hesitated for a moment: "I went to a foreign country, and this is not popular there."

"That's it...then you have to find a companion quickly."

"Well, I have a partner...he loves me very much."

Seeing his son's happy smile, the man finally felt relieved.

"Father used to... I'm sorry for you."

"Forget it, I'm not a good son...Father, I have a good life over there, and you can take good care of yourself, so I can rest assured."

"Hey, Dad knows."

The man smiled gratifiedly, and fell asleep again in a cloud of smoke.

Hermes covered him with his windbreaker and left quietly.

The knots in my heart for so many years are finally untied today.

It turned out that he also has love.

At the same time, on the other side of the earth.

In front of the large LED screen, two young people are having fun like children.

"You hit the monster on the left, and I attack the monster on the right!"

"Shut up, listen to you and it's over!"

The two of them frantically pressed on the keyboard, and finally blew up the machine in the sound of triumphant music.

"Yeah!!! Won!!!"

Cupid jumped up for joy, but Apollo didn't think so.

"It's rare to have a vacation, and I didn't go anywhere, so I played games at home with you, a kid!"

"Come on, you had a good time just now." Cupid put his arms around Apollo's neck, "Why don't I make it up to you."

"Hmph, brat, it looks like I didn't clean up enough last night!"

Apollo picked him up and threw him to the nearest sofa, and pressed himself on it. After a while, he saw clothes flying out of the sofa one by one.

When the love was strong and he was about to put the ball into the hole, Apollo's mobile phone rang inappropriately.

"Damn! At this time..."

Cupid, who was on fire, hugged Apollo and refused to let him go: "Leave him alone, keep going..."

"No, this phone ringtone belongs to Zeus!"

Apollo struggled to get up, and took out the mobile phone from the inside of the thrown pants.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Your father!" Zeus' voice was a little impatient, "What are you doing? It took so long to answer the phone!"

"I'm on vacation, what's the matter? Hey..."

Apollo was sitting on the sofa listening to the phone, and the naughty Cupid actually teased him with his mouth underneath, causing him to take a deep breath.

Zeus knew what he was doing without looking, but continued: "I order you to end your vacation immediately and meet me in the highest meeting hall of the headquarters in 10 minutes."

"Can you wait for another half an hour..." Apollo endured so hard.

"No."

Zeus's voice was not loud, but it was full of the majesty of a king.

Knowing that he was not joking this time, Apollo immediately responded, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he quickly pushed Cupid away: "Stop playing, I'm going out."

Cupid pointed to his stick that stood up: "That's it and you want to go out?"

"It's not your brat's fault!"

Apollo had no choice but to rush to the bathroom to cool down, and got dressed in twos and threes.

"Where are you going, in such a hurry..."

"Go to business." Apollo kissed Cupid, who was dissatisfied, "Good boy, wait for me to come back."

Power and Responsibility

After receiving the order from Zeus, the sun god Apollo came to the Olympus headquarters building alone.

Today is a public holiday, the whole building is empty, no one is there.

The elevator goes directly to the highest meeting room at the top, where only the main god can enter.

The elevator door opened, Apollo looked around, and Zeus was the only one sitting on the throne.

So Zeus only summoned him privately?

Apollo's mood suddenly became tense, and he walked to the center of the huge hall, and saluted him respectfully: "See my king."

"Kneel down," Zeus ordered.

Kneeling is the highest etiquette. If there is no sacred ceremony, there is generally no need to salute like this.

But seeing Zeus's solemn expression, and the inviolable majesty revealed between his brows, Apollo knew that the matter was serious, so he put his right hand close to his left chest and knelt down to him on one knee: "King."

Zeus, dressed in a white robe from the ancient Greek period, with a golden crown on his head and a scepter in his hand, stood up from the throne, walked down the steps of the altar, and came to Apollo.

Covered by his tall figure, Apollo felt an invisible sense of oppression, his head was lowered, and even his breathing became cautious...

After a while, Zeus stretched out his staff, put it on Apollo's right shoulder, and solemnly announced to him: "From this moment on, you, Apollo, the sun god, will be the rightful partner of me, Zeus, the god-king of the Olympians."
