modern greek mythology

Here he is again...! ! !

"Hermes, kill that guy named Apollo!"

"Why... didn't you say to wait until the task is completed?" Hermes asked in horror.

"Because I hate him! I hate the way he looks at you, I hate when he touches your hand!"

"But we need him, we need him to help us find Gaia..."

"We can do without him! I can't stand him anymore!"

"No, please...he's useful to us..."

The voice asked coldly: "What? Have you taken a fancy to him?"

Hermes desperately tried to appease the furious Kronos: "No, how is it possible... It's just that with him, our chances of winning will be better... just keep him for a few more days..."

"No need to quibble! He has to die today! If you can't do it, I will!"

As soon as the words fell, Hermes felt a powerful force surge out of his heart, domineeringly occupying his body.

His consciousness was still there, but his body moved involuntarily, and he gently pulled out the dagger worn at his waist...

"no, do not want……"

Hermes was forced to stand up and walked towards the sleeping Apollo step by step...

Body manipulation is such a helpless pain. Hermes struggled, but was completely suppressed, and couldn't even make a sound...

Apollo, run away, run away!

"Hermes! What are you doing!"

Just as Hermes was raising his sword, he heard someone yell loudly.

The next second, the man rushed towards him, pressed him to the ground, and drew his sword against his throat.

It was Athena...

Great, someone finally stopped him!

Hermes breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the shadow in his heart had dissipated, and he was able to control his body again.

Such a big movement woke up the other two.

"Stop!" Apollo saw Athena holding Hermes with her sword, ran over and pushed her away, "Athena, what are you doing!"

"What am I doing?" Athena sneered, and pointed her sword at Hermes, "Ask him what he is doing! He just wanted to kill you!"

"Impossible!" Apollo flatly denied, "Hermes would never do that!"

"The Hermes in the past may not be able to, but it's hard to say now..." Athena stared at him coldly, "I just saw him sitting there talking to himself, as if he was controlled by something .”

Apollo helped Hermes up from the ground: "Is it true, Hermes?"

Hermes turned his head aside: "Don't ask..."

Apollo looked at him anxiously: "Hermes, I have something to say, everyone just wants to help you."

"Don't ask!"

You can't help me, you can't help...

"If you don't tell the truth, then I can only keep you." Athena said indifferently, "Apollo, I will never tolerate a problematic guy mixing into our team."

"What is a problematic guy?" Apollo was also angry, "Hermes is our companion, and we cannot leave him as a companion!"

"Hmph, Apollo, you have been blinded by your affair! This guy is clearly a spy sent by Kronos! If he killed you just now, would you defend him like this!"

Apollo just said firmly: "I believe in Hermes."

Seeing that the two of them were at a stalemate, Diana hurried over to make a rescue: "Okay, don't quarrel. From now on, Hermes will be watched by me. If there is anything unusual, I will report to you as soon as possible. Is this the head office? We are now working together to find 'Zhanshen', we can't be separated here. Let's go, Hermes, go to sleep with my sister."

Diana said, and pulled away Hermes, who looked sad.

"You are all burned out! If one day he kills you, I don't care about you!"

Athena said something angry and went back to sleep.

Hermes covered his face and cried silently.

If one day, he really strikes at his companion, then he will swing his sword back and end his own life together!

Goddess Gaia

The next day, a group of four continued their journey.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the team, and there was no more relaxed talking and laughing yesterday.

Athena, who was walking behind, had been watching Hermes, while Hermes deliberately kept a distance from them and buried himself in his own way.

Apollo couldn't bear it anymore, walked over and pulled him back to the team: "Don't be downcast, this is not like you."

Hermes smiled wryly and said, "You are still so close to me, be careful that I will really kill you..."

"Can I not know how much you weigh, just because you want to kill me?" Apollo said with a smile, "Even if I stretch out my neck to you, what can you do to me? So, don't worry about it, Straighten your back!"

Apollo reached out and patted his waist, but Hermes bounced away like an electric shock.

"What are you doing! Don't touch me!"

Hermes yelled at Apollo and stepped forward.

Apollo looked at his back with worry in his eyes.

Athena walked beside him: "I told you, he is very strange."

"do not talk……"

Hermes walked forward with all his might, not even daring to look back.

He was afraid that the dark shadow lurking in his heart would be disturbed, and any slight move might become a reason for his anger.

What's more, Apollo, with such trusting eyes...

Even though he was full of flaws, he still believed in himself as always.

How can he bear his trust?I am indeed a spy!

Hermes only felt that he was carrying a huge boulder on his back, and he was almost out of breath.

The chord in my heart is tight, it won't break anytime soon...

How far do we have to go?I'm so tired...

He kept walking like this, and suddenly stopped—and found that there was no way to go.

There was a cliff ahead, Hermes walked over and looked down——

Looking around, it was a black forest, like dead wood that had been burned by fire.

The withered and black branches are intricate and have lost their life, revealing a breath of despair.

He is sure that he has never been here before, but he still has a feeling of deja vu...

Where have you seen it?Hermes searches for memories...

Finally found some clues, but was shocked there!

Could this be... the fairyland-like forest I saw in my dream? !

How deep is the despair and sorrow, so that the grass and trees here will not grow...

Hermes' heart suddenly became heavier.

"Hermes, what's wrong?"

The people behind finally followed up.

Hermes looked into the distance and murmured, "Gaia... is right there."

A group of people walked down the hillside and entered the dry woods.

Surrounded by deathly silence, it was even more eerie than hell.

Looking up, there are dead trees with strange postures, like the long black claws of the devil.

The gray sky was cut into countless pieces by intricate branches.

Perhaps, this also represents the mood of Goddess Gaia...

With her state of mind, is she really willing to borrow "Slaying God"?

Such doubts weighed on everyone's mind.

After stepping into this land, the intuition in Hermes' heart became stronger, as if there was an invisible hand that was pulling him forward, and even he himself didn't know why...

"Hermes, where are you taking us?"

"Ahead... just ahead..."

Athena looked ahead and saw a dead end covered with dead branches.

"There is no road there, come back."

"No, it's very close."

Hermes didn't go back, but moved forward based on feeling...

After walking a few steps, suddenly, as if a certain switch was stepped on, the ground trembled violently.

"what happened?"

"earthquake!"

The trembling of the ground made it difficult to move an inch, or even stand firmly, so everyone had to hug the big tree beside them.

However, the shaking on the ground became even more intense, and soon turned into a dizzying shaking!

Now even the big tree couldn't protect itself, and collapsed with a loud bang.

Several great gods became weak and insignificant under such power, so they had to prostrate on the ground, struggling to avoid the fallen trees.

Goddess Gaia seemed to be angry, and the shock became even crazier!

The earth began to fall apart, cracking deep long cracks, and some places were even sunken in!

"what!"

"Diana!"

The ground Diana was on collapsed suddenly, but fortunately Apollo caught her quickly with his eyesight and hands.

With the help of Apollo, Diana climbed up bit by bit, and the two worked together to finally climb up.

Before Apollo had time to catch his breath, he saw that Hermes was also in danger of collapsing!

"Athena, help him!"

Athena, who had been watching from the sidelines, slowly stretched out her hand to Apollo when he called her out.

"Climb over, I'll catch you."

Although Athena stretched out her hand to him, Hermes could clearly see from her eyes that she wanted him to give up.

Hermes, go away!

Yes, Athena, you are right to do so.

If it were me, I wouldn't leave a guy who is obviously a spy in the team.

Only Apollo could be so stupid...

Sorry everyone, I have to go first.

Hermes smiled, looked at the dark crack in the ground, and jumped.

"Hermes!!!"

The scene in front of him made Apollo almost crazy, he rushed to the place where Hermes fell desperately, and jumped down with him...
