[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

The gods were startled, Tartarus' speed was too fast, and after they realized it, the god of the abyss and Hephaestus were no longer there.

Gaia looked at the place where they disappeared, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, finally let out a cold snort, and left.

Zeus frowned, and said to Hermes: "Use your divine power to find out where they have gone, and notify me immediately if you find it." After speaking, he looked at the other gods of Mount Olympus: "You are now with the gods of Mount Olympus. I'll go back to the Mount of God." The matter of the giant race and Typhon has come to an end, and now it's time to go back to Mount Olympus for repairs.And Hephaestus, as the Vulcan of Olympus, should bring him back safely from the Lord of the Abyss, regardless of the situation or reason.

Except for Hermes, who went to find Hephaestus, the other gods followed Zeus back to Mount Olympus.

the other side.

In a quiet black space, through an unknown twilight, the two gods looked at each other.To be precise, Hephaestus was looking at the God of the Abyss in front of him.

Very handsome face, with a trace of mysterious charm.Reminiscent of the Gaia he had seen before, he seriously suspected that Typhon was not born of two good-looking guys.

Tartarus didn't care about his scrutiny, and asked very leisurely: "Have you seen enough?"

Hephaestus nodded: "Well, enough has been seen."

A smile flashed in Tartarus' eyes, he took two steps forward and sat on the chair.Then he pointed to the chair opposite him to signal Hephaestus to sit too.

Unable to understand his purpose of robbing him, Hephaestus raised his eyebrows, went to the chair and sat down.

"Want to drink?" Tartarus picked up the wine bottle on the table and slowly poured out the mellow wine.

Hephaestus propped up his chin, staring at the slowly falling drops of wine in front of him until the glass was full, then smiled at Tartarus, picked it up and took a sip: "Very good."

Tartarus smiled lightly and took a sip from a glass.

It seems that you want to drink leisurely?Hephaestus tried to see some clues from the eyes of the god of the abyss in front of him, but apart from a faint smile, there were no other leaked emotions in these eyes, which made him unable to see clearly the other party's true thoughts.After thinking about it, he said, "Drinking alone is too boring, how about this, let's play a game."

"Oh?" Tartarus was aroused a little bit of interest: "What game?"

"I ask a question. If you pause and don't answer right away, you lose, and a glass of wine is the punishment for losing." Hephaestus paused, and then said: "Then you are asking me a question, What do you think of the same penalty for stopping?"

Tartarus looked at Hephaestus meaningfully for a while before saying, "Okay."

Hearing that he agreed, Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief, filled up the wines of both parties and said, "I'll go first," and immediately asked after the other party nodded, "Is Typhon the birth of you and Gaia?" of?"

Tartarus quickly replied, "For some reason, yes."

What is a certain reason?Before Hephaestus had time to think deeply, Tartarus asked him, "What do you think of Hades?"

"Very dutiful lord of the underworld." Hephaestus replied without thinking, and then asked almost without a pause, "What is your purpose for bringing me here?"

"There is no purpose, just do it if you want to do it."

Hephaestus paused, you hijacked me here for no purpose, the first god is really willful!

Tartarus slid his finger along the wall of the cup, and asked after a while, "Do you think Hades likes you?"

"I don't know." He really doesn't know whether the golden arrow of love in Hades has expired, but why is Tartarus so concerned about the relationship between Hades and him, "Why do you ask me and Hades about?"

Tartarus raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just curious." After speaking, he stared at Hephaestus: "What do you think of me?"

Hephaestus smiled, "Very powerful, the creator of the monster Typhon." Seeing that the time was almost up, he started to get to the point: "Since you didn't release Typhon and Helios, who is it?"

"Not now," replied Tartarus.

Hephaestus frowned, so it seemed that he knew who was behind the scenes.

"Have you played this game with me to get the information you want to know?" Tartarus said, picking up the wine glass and swirling it lightly, watching the waves gradually rising in the wine glass, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, obviously very good mood.

"Maybe," Hephaestus asked eagerly, "Is the man behind the scenes one of Uranus and Cronus? Why did the man behind the scenes only let Helios, the Titan god?"

"You asked two questions." Tartarus shook his head: "I can only answer one."

Hephaestus swallowed and said after a moment of silence, "The first one."

Tartarus chuckled. "Not any of them."

"Who do you think Zeus or Hades found this first?" he asked.

"Hermes" Hephaestus asked, "Which side are you on?"

"neutral"

Hearing Tartarus' answer, Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't know who was behind the scenes. If even the Lord of the Abyss, who was so powerful that almost no one could defeat him, was on the side of the behind-the-scenes, things would be even more difficult to end.

Hephaestus and Tartarus asked each other questions, but the wine in the glass on the table remained untouched.

At the same moment, Hades stood in front of Gaia, stalemate with the goddess of the earth.

"I won't let you take Helios away." Gaia stood in front of the second-generation sun god, and opened her arms like an eagle guarding a chicken, rejecting Hades' second-generation sun god approaching behind her.

Hades frowned slightly, and his voice was cold and unwavering: "Mother Earth, it doesn't make any sense for you to do this."

"No! How can it be meaningless! He is a Titan, and he is my child!" Since Helios chose to come to him, Gaia felt that as a mother, she should fight for the freedom of her child.

Helios hid behind Gaia, looking at Hades very nervously. He ran to the ground to call Gaia who had left the battlefield not long after he escaped. Now it seems that this choice is right.

Hades took out the Pluto Excalibur: "Mother Earth, you are sheltering the fugitive, if you don't get out of the way..." He didn't say anything later, but Gaia understood, suppressed the fear in his heart, and didn't move .

Helios thought for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Hades, don't forget that there is also a god of the abyss, he came with me. I heard that he is very interested in Vulcan, so you come here Chasing me, tell me, where will Hephaestus be? What will the God of the Abyss do to him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hades didn't do anything, and Gaia screamed first: "Taltarus took Hephaestus away to do something to him!" She hated this feeling, It's like something that belongs to you is separated from you.

Tartarus took Hephaestus away as soon as he woke up. Could it be that his purpose is Hephaestus?Hades frowned, unable to figure out the reason.Looking at the second-generation Sun God who was blocked by Gaia in front of him, he was silent for a moment, let him go temporarily, and turned to look for Hephaestus.After all, Helios is easy to find, and if Hephaestus faces Tartarus, the difference in strength makes him have little chance of winning.

Hephaestus, who was laughing with Tartarus in the name of playing games, had no idea that he had been defined by His Majesty Hades.Although there is indeed a big gap between his current strength and Tartarus, he is not worried about what Tartarus will do to him at all.Since the other party said that there was no purpose in hijacking him here, it was really just because it was interesting. After all, the real superiors are confident and disdain to lie.

Although he didn't get the information he wanted to know the most, he at least ruled out the possibility that Uralos and Kronos were behind the scenes.In the end, he and Tartarus each drank a glass of wine to end the game, and began the seemingly boring and simple wine tasting.

Because Tartarus didn't deliberately hide their location, it didn't take long for Hermes to spy on them.The oracle notified Zeus with absolute speed, and then went with Zeus to the location of Hephaestus and Tartarus.

"Where are we?" Hephaestus chatted with Tartarus while drinking.

"In the cave near the entrance to the underworld." Tartaros said casually, "Hades should come here first, after all, it's close to the underworld."

What he said was inconsistent, and Hephaestus knew that he was answering the question he said Hermes had asked first.

As if confirming his words, after about a few minutes, Hades' figure really appeared at the dim entrance of the cave.It's just that behind him, there are Zeus and Hermes following closely.

"Hi, here we come." Hephaestus smiled slightly at the figure that almost merged with the darkness.

Hades calmed down his slightly disordered breathing due to anxious search, and looked at the guy who was drinking leisurely with Tartarus, his frowning brows relaxed. "Yeah" he replied softly.

Zeus stepped in front of Hades, blocked his view of Hephaestus, looked at the unharmed Hephaestus, and then turned his gaze to Tartarus. "Your Highness, it's time for the Vulcan of Mount Olympus to return to his homeland."
