modern greek mythology

Darkness, darkness everywhere.

For a while, it was not clear whether he was dead or alive.

It wasn't until the pain spread all over his body that he realized that he was still breathing.

After moving his body, he found that his body was not a solid rock, but a body of flesh and blood.

Miraculously, he caught himself again.

Hermes' tears flowed down in an instant, and he choked on his body: "You idiot! I told you to get out of here, why are you still sticking to it! Do you have to be killed by me? Are you at ease!"

Hermes' tears fell drop by drop on his chest, but there was no response.

Apollo was still breathing weakly, but this time, he was hurt too badly.

Wiping the tears off his face, Hermes moved away from him and sat up.

Looking up, they fell so deep that the huge crack at the beginning now seemed to be only a white line, and not even light could penetrate it.

Hermes leaned against the rock wall, thinking how to get Apollo out of here.

After quieting down, I heard the sound of water droplets here, and the sound was very clear.

It turns out that the underground is empty, no wonder it is so easy to collapse. Strictly speaking, this place is more like a huge cave.

At this moment, Hermes felt that besides him and Apollo, there was another energy here!

This feeling is so familiar, like a trickle that he has been chasing for a long time, and then he saw a big river, and now he finally found the source!

That's right, it's this power that seems to be there all the time, calling him here!

Hermes was quite sure that she was somewhere beside him, even though he couldn't see anything...

"Hello, Gaia, I finally found you."

Fall

"I know you are here, since we have already let us come to you, please meet us!"

"You must know what's going on outside! That terrible curse is back, and we need you to make another decision!"

Hermes shouted loudly in the darkness, and the sound echoed in the empty underground caverns and spread everywhere.

"Are you the outsider that Goddess of Fate mentioned?"

After a long time, a sound different from the echo finally came from the other end of the cave.

The voice sounded heavy and vicissitudes.

"Yes, my name is Hermes."

Hermes lowered his voice and had a calm conversation with her.

"Hermes..." Gaia sighed, "I waited for another reincarnation."

Hermes once again remembered the words that the goddess of fate said before her death in her previous life: You are chosen.

"Gaia, can you tell me what happened? Why am I an outsider, but can go to the end? I think you know all this..."

"Yes, my child." Gaia said sadly, "fate is a kind of magical thing, whatever cause you plant, you will get what result. When you do something wrong, the evil result will be endless. It will disappear because of the passage of time, and the hatred will be accumulated, and at some point in the future, you will pay for the original wrong. This is the case with Kronos. When he killed his father, the hatred was born, so The curse formed has been tormenting him and his children. This kind of hatred must wait until the next generation to untie it. I have been waiting for the reincarnation that the goddess of fate said, looking forward to someone who can untie the hatred Appeared. Finally, I waited until his children came to me, but unfortunately, Zeus did the same wrong thing as Cronus again! This resentment is like a snowball, and it has reached the hands of your generation again."

"So, why me? Strictly speaking, I am not your descendant, I do not belong here. Why do you believe me, an outsider?"

Gaia smiled bitterly: "I don't trust my descendants anymore. They have the same blood flowing through them, and they will always do the same stupid things! So I told Goddess of Fate to bring me an outsider and let him decide. The fate of our Protoss."

Hermes joked: "Gaia, do you know what I did in my previous life? I'm just a street hooligan who lives by cheating and abducting. I do all kinds of improper things... Are you sure you really want me to come here?" decide the fate of Olympus?"

"Hermes, no one can escape fate... Even if you are now covered with the shadow of Cronus, I will believe in you."

There was a little light in the depths of the cave, like a beacon calling to Hermes.

"Come here, boy, and take what you want."

Hermes stood up from the ground and walked towards the light step by step.

The goddess knelt on a big rock, holding the sword engraved with the original curse in her arms.

She still had the face she had seen in her dream, but her eyes were full of pain, and she spent year after year alone here.

Her heart, like the once beautiful trees outside, has withered.

Hermes knew that if he made another mistake, it would be another knife in this scarred heart.

If the goddess of the earth dies, the world will be destroyed.

"I'm not just here for myself," Hermes said to her, "I'm also representing the person who made a promise to you here last time."

Hearing this, the goddess' eyes lit up, and hope seemed to ignite: "Hades?"

"Yes, I believe that he has been blaming himself and regretting for not being able to fulfill his original promise... This time, he will definitely seize the opportunity!"

Gaiya's numb heart seemed to be touched, and he offered the sword in his arms with both hands: "Go, this is actually not a magic sword, it just depends on who is using it."

Hermes took it with both hands, it was heavy...not just the weight, but also the responsibility.

Hermes bowed deeply to Goddess Gaia and was about to leave.

"Child..." Gaia suddenly stopped him, "Sorry for getting you involved in something irrelevant."

"Irrelevant?" said Hermes, smiling, "No, I had lived two thousand and five hundred years of happiness before you told me the truth, I had my lover, my friend, my brother, I had I have earned a lot of things. Gaia, I am already one of your descendants, and their affairs are mine."

After saying this, Hermes got up and left.

Hermes returned to the place where he had fallen before and found that Apollo had woken up.

Hermes was both surprised and delighted: "Apollo, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Apollo held back the pain and comforted him, and saw him holding a sword in his arms again, "This sword...you got the 'Zhan Shen'?"

"Well, got it."

Apollo was delighted for a while: "Come, let me see..."

Apollo held out his hand to him, but Hermes shrank back.

"Sorry, Apollo, there is only one person in this world who can wield this sword..."

Except for him, no one can use "Zhanshen".

Apollo wondered: "Then how do you plan to use it?"

"This... I can't say for now."

Apollo saw that there was concern in his eyes, so he stopped asking.

I kept persuading myself in my heart, no matter what the situation, I had to believe him!

"Forget it, let's find a way to get out of here."

"Okay, I'll carry you on my back."

"Slaying God" is a magical sword, whoever owns it can restore divine power.

With divine power, everything is much more convenient.

Hermes held the "God Slayer" in his hand, carried Apollo on his back, and flew straight up towards the gap where he fell just now.

At Hermes' speed, such a distance would only take a few minutes.

After coming up, Hermes put Apollo down and first healed him.

"Does it hurt?"

"Well, it's okay..."

"fool!"

"Well, fool."

Hermes cursed, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

Apollo reached out and wiped away his tears without saying anything.

Hermes relieved his pain with divine power and slowly helped him recover.

Just when the whole healing process was coming to an end, another terrible voice came from my heart.

"Hermes!"

Hermes' face turned pale for a while.

"What's wrong?" Apollo noticed the change on his face.

"nothing……"

"Hermes, kill him!"

The voice in his heart ordered him sullenly.

The shadow of Kronos is like a pair of eyes in Hermes' heart, monitoring his every move all the time.

But when he fell into that underground cave, his eyes were covered by Gaia's power, so he couldn't see or hear what happened to him in the cave.

After Hermes returned to the ground, the shadow hidden in his heart came to light again.

The first scene I saw when I opened my eyes was that Hermes was healing Apollo!

The dissatisfaction in Kronos' heart exploded again, he must want this person to die!

"Hermes, did you hear me, kill him!"

Hermes wanted to cover his ears, but the cold voice kept echoing in his mind.

"No...I can't...I dedicate 'Zhanshen' to you, please don't force me..."

Hermes was tortured to the point of collapse, his eyes widened and he muttered to himself.

"Hermes, what's the matter with you!" Apollo looked at Hermes as if he was stunned by something, and shook his shoulders in a state of anxiety, "Wake up!"

"Don't touch me!" Hermes opened his hand, "Stay away from me! Stay away from me!!"

Hermes picked up "Zhanshen" and ran away like crazy.

He wants to stay away from Apollo before he has a semblance of reason, the farther the better!
