modern greek mythology

No matter what happens tomorrow, you must drink this wine today, and treat it as my farewell farewell for you! "Prometheus opened the lid, "Come on, uncle, let me drink first as a respect!" "

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, took a big gulp, and handed the sheepskin bag to Hermes.

"Okay! Now let's realize what I just said: drink and talk!"

Hermes took the sheepskin bag and took a big gulp of it boldly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, very happy.

"Hermes—Hermes—"

At this time, Apollo's voice calling him came from a distance, presumably he came back after finishing his mission.

"I have to go now."

"Well, I'm going to meet old friends too."

The two went to the door together and saw Apollo walking towards them.

Centaur Chiron walked behind, and Prometheus excitedly greeted him and hugged him.

"Old friend, I made you suffer!"

"Hehe, it's like what happened yesterday."

Ignoring their emotions, Apollo came over to Hermes and asked, "Have you got the news?"

Hermes nodded: "Got it."

After the two old friends exchanged pleasantries, Prometheus came to say goodbye to Hermes.

"I'm leaving too and starting my journey. I haven't seen human beings for many years. I really want to see them. After all, they learn bad things. I, as the father, also have the responsibility. I can't just blame them. I have to think of a way. save."

"Well, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Prometheus looked around at the dense trees all around: "I suddenly feel reluctant to leave such a quiet place!"

"Occasionally I can come back and see."

"Okay, let's say goodbye here!" Prometheus stretched out his arms, hugged Hermes, and whispered in his ear, "I hope we still have a chance to drink together, don't give up any glimmer of hope Ah, Hermes!"

"Okay, after the battle is over, we will meet here for a drink."

"Hehe, remember your promise, kid!"

Prometheus thumped Hermes on the chest and waved goodbye to both of them.

Hermes stood there, together with Apollo, watching them go away.

After Hermes got Gaia's whereabouts from Prometheus, he flew back to New York headquarters with Apollo.

Early the next morning, Apollo called all the main gods to come to discuss.

During the meeting, Hermes told everyone exactly what he had learned from Prometheus.

"I think everyone understands that it is imperative to find Gaia and the 'Zhanshen'. I decided to go out in person. Who would like to go with me?"

"I'm willing to go," Athena said first, "I think I can help a little bit along the way."

"Okay, Athena, you are capable of writing and martial arts, and you are an indispensable helper."

"Brother, I'll go too!" Moon Goddess Diana recommended herself, "Although my bow and arrows are not as good as yours, I can still cover you in an emergency!"

Apollo thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll count you in as well."

Ares, the god of war next to him, couldn't sit still anymore: "I'll go too, you can't leave me behind!"

"Sorry, Ares, I think it is enough for the four gods to go together." Apollo explained, "If there are too many people, it will disturb Gaia, who likes to be quiet."

Apollo knew that Ares had a violent personality, and going there would only cause bad things.

"But……"

"Ares, you and I stay at the base camp." At this time, Hera took the initiative to speak up and rescued Apollo, "It's not good for all the great gods to go out, there must be someone in charge, otherwise Kronos will suddenly launch What about the attack?"

"What Tianhou said is reasonable, then I will leave everything here to the rest of you."

Hera nodded and said, "Don't worry, king, we will wait for your triumphant return."

Apollo was about to announce the end of the meeting when Athena suddenly asked a question.

"Wait, Wang just said that four gods are going, who is the other one?"

Apollo replied: "Of course it is Hermes."

Athena tactfully said: "Hermes...he just came back, so he should stay here and rest a lot."

Apollo just wanted to refute him, but Hermes jumped ahead with a smile: "Thank you goddess for your concern, my physical strength has recovered well, and I can travel long distances. But I think what you are most worried about is whether I A spy sent by Kronos, right?"

"Yes." Athena replied frankly, "I'm sorry, Hermes. This is an extraordinary period, and everyone who has contact with Kronos has to be guarded."

"I can understand your feelings, Athena. If I were you, I would do the same. But the search for the 'Zhanshen' is extraordinary. He is related to the success or failure of this war, and I know the most about it So I must go there myself." Hermes said seriously, "If you still don't believe me, I am willing to swear: If I am a spy of Cronus, then I will fight with him We will be wiped out together!"

"Hermes, stop talking!" Apollo stopped him, he didn't want to hear Hermes curse himself, "I believe in you!"

Apollo's words were so loud that all the gods in the hall didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Okay, everyone! Now that the enemy is at hand, it is time for us all the gods of Olympus to work together. We must not be suspicious of our comrades-in-arms and weaken our own combat power!" Apollo solemnly declared, " The meeting is now over! The remaining deities must guard the barrier to prevent Kronos from sneaking in. Come with me to find the deity of 'Slaying God', pack your bags today, and we will set off tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, the four main gods of Olympus: Apollo, Hermes, Athena, and Diana embarked on a journey to find the "slaying god".

The four of them flew northward according to Prometheus' instructions.

During this period, he passed through the vast grassland, the vast forest, the vast sea, the dry desert, and even reached the extremely cold place in the extreme north...

The group flew tirelessly for more than ten days in a row, but the phenomenon of the sudden disappearance of the divine power that Prometheus mentioned never happened, and everyone began to wonder if they had gone in the wrong direction.

"That's right, it's here!"

Hermes didn't know where his confidence came from, but his intuition told him that it was in that direction!

The four great gods flew over a vast ice field, and their eyes were all monotonous white.

Diana became a little impatient: "Is Prometheus playing tricks on us?"

Apollo comforted: "Don't worry, fly a little further, maybe there is..."

Before Apollo finished speaking, his body was violently dragged away by a gust of air, and when he reacted, all the partners around him were washed away!

To be precise, they were drawn into a huge vortex, and the whole person was spinning around with the powerful centrifugal force.

Apollo wanted to use his divine power to quell the hurricane, but he found that he had no strength at all. Like a weak mortal, he could only be controlled by the power of nature!

In this way, they may have encountered the magnetic field that Prometheus said would be the disappearance of divine power!

Apollo was surprised and delighted, but after thinking about it, they have become mortals now, don't all die here!

Thinking of his companions, Apollo reluctantly opened his eyes. It was difficult to breathe in the wind vortex, and he couldn't even open his mouth to shout!

In the anxious search, he saw a familiar figure, which flashed before his eyes!

Hermes!

He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak at all!

Hermes was not far ahead, Apollo stretched out his hand, trying to grab him, but failed!

Hermes also saw him, and turned around with difficulty, trying to hold his hand, but every time it was only a little bit short...

Seeing that the wind was about to blow them away again, Apollo pounced forward with all his strength, and finally grabbed his wrist!

Before it was too late to rejoice, suddenly, the whirlwind that held them up suddenly disappeared!

Losing their divine power, they could not escape the attraction of the earth, and they fell straight down——

"what----"

In this ten-thousandth of a second, Hermes felt that he was pulled by a force, and his body was hugged tightly...

No time to think about it... "Bang"!

His back hit the ground heavily, his head shook violently, and he passed out immediately.

But he regained consciousness soon after, waking up a little groggy, moving his hands and feet, nothing serious.

Damn luck, falling from such a height didn't cause anything...

However, he soon discovered that this was not a miracle. The folded arms on his body reminded him that someone was cushioning him below!

"Apollo!"

Hermes stood up abruptly, only to realize that he had been lying in his arms all along!

Under Apollo, a deep pit was sunken in the ground. This is the real situation of falling from a high altitude!

And his own weight on him undoubtedly deepened the damage to him.

"Apollo!" Hermes called out to him anxiously, his heart clenched, "Wake up!"

As if he heard the call, Apollo opened his eyes slightly, and vaguely saw Hermes in front of him.

"Are you OK……"

"I'm fine, but you're in trouble!"

"It's fine..." Apollo breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you, it looks like you're not seriously hurt."

Apollo reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing, just broke a few bones..."

Fortunately, they were mentally prepared at that time, they were already flying at low altitude, and the ground they fell on was also soft soil.

Soft soil...?

Hermes looked up and looked around - yes, it was exactly the same as the forest in his dream
