[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Hephaestus took a deep breath and opened the door.Seeing the waiter's flustered expression, he frowned, and asked with some displeasure, "Did he say anything?"

He, of course, refers to God King Zeus.The waiter understood, and quickly said: "His Royal Highness Vulcan, His Majesty the Divine King has a splitting headache. He just said that you should go to the Divine King's Palace right now."

Splitting headache?Hephaestus was a little puzzled, didn't he still visit the palace with Poseidon last night, why did he suddenly have a splitting headache today?

And he's not a doctor, so what's the use of looking for him!Even so, Hephaestus followed the waiter closely.

But as he walked, he paused, and suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

Zeus, the king of the gods, had a splitting headache and sent his son Hephaestus to the palace of the god king...

There may be only one possibility, that is, the goddess Athena is about to be born.

In Greek mythology, Moirae, the goddess of fate, predicted that the child of Metis, the goddess of wisdom, would have great wisdom and strength, and this child would be given the fate of overthrowing the throne of Zeus.In order to avoid this doomed fate, Zeus swallowed Metis, who had not had time to give birth to a daughter.

If that's the case...

Zeus came to him, probably to let him split his head with an axe, hoping to get rid of the unbearable pain and tinnitus that drove people crazy.

When he arrived at the palace of the king of gods, he saw Zeus clutching his head in pain.What happened next was just as he had guessed, or it should be said... just like the records in Greek mythology...

Hephaestus split the head of the god-king.

Athena, the goddess of bravery and wisdom, is dressed in armor and a golden helmet on her head. She comes out of Zeus's head with a scepter and a shield in her hand.

Hephaestus looked at the proud goddess in front of him, and felt an indescribable sense of complexity in his heart.Since he became Hephaestus, Fire Qilin asked him to complete some tasks that seemed to maintain the plot on the grounds of counterattack.Starting from building a chair for Hera, whether it was Huo Qilin who asked him to marry Goddess of Beauty, or he made a sun car for Apollo by himself.It seems that there is always a pair of invisible hands pushing him in a certain direction. It seems that except for his appearance, everything else is almost the same as the original Hephaestus recorded in Greek mythology.

He was forced to complete the task, and then let him follow the general plot on the grounds that he would be obliterated if the counterattack was unsuccessful, and now he suddenly disappeared.In an instant, a certain negative emotion invaded his heart. Since the fire unicorn said that its strength would increase with his improvement, why did it suddenly disappear after it could come out of the consciousness space?Is there something he doesn't know?

Hephaestus' expression turned ugly, and he walked out of the temple without caring about Athena and Zeus.

He walked back happily, but when he was about to reach the Vulcan Palace, he met Ares who had just come out of it and was furious.

Ares was obviously taken aback when he saw him, and then became more angry, his eyes seemed to tear Hephaestus apart.

Hephaestus was in a depressed mood and didn't want to pay attention to him. He just glanced at him, lifted his foot, walked around him and went up the steps.

"Stop!" Ares roared, and then summoned a black boar to attack Hephaestus.

Hephaestus dodged the wild boar, and then whipped him away with a whip.Originally, because of the fire unicorn, he was very irritable, but this move by Ares directly provoked his anger.So at this moment, I used [-]% of my strength to strike. I saw the wild boar was thrown six meters away, and fell to the ground with a "boom", struggled a few times, and stopped moving.

"Bastard!" Ares saw his holy object lying on the ground dying, his eyes turned red, he picked up the bronze spear and stabbed Hephaestus: "I will kill you!"

Hephaestus sneered, stepped back abruptly, then swung his hand and whipped out another whip.The whip entangled the wild boar's fangs like lightning. He deliberately raised his eyebrows at Ares, and then, in the other's unstoppable eyes, he yanked off the wild boar's fangs with force.

Suddenly, a sharp roar pierced the sky, and Aphrodite in the temple ran out in shock.

As soon as she came out, both Hephaestus and Ares looked at her.

And the terrified Goddess of Beauty hadn't had time to tidy up her messy clothes at this time, and her delicate face was clearly flustered.

Hephaestus saw the red marks on her neck sharply, and thought of Ares coming out of the palace before.Immediately, his face darkened, and he couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, bitches!

Aphrodite saw the obvious displeasure on Hephaestus's face, and regardless of the presence of Ares, she quickly explained: "Dear Hephaestus, everything is not what you see , I have just made it clear to Ares that my body and mind belong to you. Young and handsome Vulcan, please believe that my love for you is an unchanging belief in the world, it is like the most powerful thing in the night sky A brilliant star, even a shooting star will not take away its brilliance, I..."

Aphrodite was talking endlessly, and Hephaestus became more and more irritable when he heard it, as if an annoying fly was buzzing around his ears.Seeing that she didn't intend to stop, Hephaestus frowned, without saying a word, he whipped out his whip to wrap around the affectionate Aphrodite.

"Ah!" Aphrodite looked at the whip on her waist in surprise, and exclaimed, "Ah! Hephaestus! What are you doing... ah!" Before she finished speaking, Hephaestus Si threw her directly at Ares.

Unexpectedly, Hephaestus would throw Aphrodite to himself, Ares was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he stepped forward quickly, apparently missing it.

Hephaestus gave the two of them a disgusted look, and said impatiently, "Go away and have an affair." Then he pointed his finger, and a gust of fire gushed out from his fingertips, attacking the wild boar on the ground.This time, before the wild boar had time to roar, almost instantly, a burnt smell quickly permeated the air. Hephaestus said sarcastically: "If you are tired of cheating, eat some roasted wild boar, and you will gain strength." to keep moving.”

Ares's veins burst out, and he raised his foot to attack Hephaestus: "Asshole! You..."

Hephaestus whipped his whip directly towards his ankle, blocking his next violent swearing, and there was a faint smell of blood when the whip was retracted.

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows slightly: "If I can't win, I'll go away."

Although Ares was named the God of War, his strength was not very good. In the subsequent battle against Troy, Athena and Hera beat him to pieces many times.So at this moment, he is not Hephaestus' opponent.Unable to beat Hephaestus, Ares had no choice but to utter harsh words, then turned around thinking he was handsome, and left here with Aphrodite in his arms.It's just that his limping looks really funny and ridiculous.

Ignoring Aphrodite's gaze of admiration through Ares' shoulder, Hephaestus rubbed his temples, turned and entered the palace.He admitted that he was a little angry. Even if Aphrodite didn't make it to the last step with Ares, she had violated his taboo by kissing Ares in his palace.Originally, he didn't want to marry Aphrodite, but because of the fire unicorn, he had to do so.Now that the fire unicorn is gone, he can't wrong himself to be kind to her.

Who cares what a perfect male god?He just wants to be himself now!

After figuring this out, he sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.His fingers lightly brushed along the edge of the teacup, watching the tiny waves of the tea, his mood seemed to calm down along with the ripples.

Perhaps it was because of a change of mood, or because he was not bound by the tasks assigned to him by the Fire Qilin, Hephaestus felt a lot more relaxed.

In the next few days, Aphrodite seemed unwilling to give up, always looking for opportunities to get close to Hephaestus.Hephaestus either ignored it directly, or turned around and left.In addition to Aphrodite, Hermes and Dionysus also like to come to him for a drink these days, and the matter between him and Aphrodite is naturally known to them.

Dionysus is the god of wine and carnival. Once he drank, he liked to gossip. This directly led to Aphrodite being kicked out by Hephaestus for having an affair with Ares. Rumors of the cheeky desire to regain Hephaestus spread wildly around Mount Olympus.

The news spread so quickly that it quickly spread to the underworld deep underground.Hades, who was dealing with the affairs of the Underworld, paused when he heard it, and after a while, he said to Hypnos who was standing beside him: "You go and ask Thanatos to come and deal with these documents, and prepare Come on, you come out with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty Pluto." After a slight bow, Hypnos went to inform Thanatos.

The news spread to the underworld, and Zeus, the god king, naturally heard about it, but unexpectedly, he didn't make any statement. It seems that because of Athena, the god king has been quite quiet recently.

Although Aphrodite was very annoyed by the rumors, she had no choice but to be fascinated by the beauty of Hephaestus, so she still came to Hephaestus' palace every now and then.

Hephaestus was completely immune to Aphrodite's behavior, and he drank wine leisurely in his palace.Feeling the movement outside, I thought it was Aphrodite again, but two unexpected guests came.
