[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

When Zeus said this, he didn't have much confidence in taking people away from Tartarus. After all, the god of the abyss, as the first generation god, was far superior to other gods.But as the third-generation God King, he is not weak. If Hades is added, their chances of winning together will be much greater.

I have to say that Zeus thought things too complicated, not to mention that Tartarus would not do anything to Hephaestus, even Hephaestus himself was not a weak person who needed to be protected.

Tartarus took a few steps forward, looking back and forth between Hades and Zeus, with a faint smile in his eyes, but there seemed to be something else behind the smile.

Hades and Zeus had a calm face and a smiling face, allowing Tartarus to look at them.But if you take a closer look, you will find that their eyes are also full of deep and dark swells that people can't figure out.

Hephaestus looked at the scene of the confrontation between the three parties, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He frowned imperceptibly, and he broke the slightly weird atmosphere with a voice: "Your Highness, the night is gradually sinking , I think I should go."

"Of course," Tartarus said in a low voice.

He turned his gaze back to Hephaestus, and smiled meaningfully: "I will see you again." After speaking, the figure quickly melted into the darkness, because this cave has some kind of connection with the abyss.

As soon as Tartarus left, only Hephaestus, Hades, Zeus and Hermes, who had been silent since entering, were left in the cave.

Without the strange atmosphere just now, Hermes was inexplicably relieved.

Zeus glanced at the empty wine glass on the table, and asked with some doubts: "Did he bring you here just to drink?" He was naturally referring to Tartarus.

"Almost so," Hephaestus replied casually.Recalling the conversation with the God of the Abyss, he pondered for a moment and said, "It was not Tartarus, nor Uranus and Cronus who released Typhon and Helios."

"Taltarus?" Hades asked.

"Well," said Hephaestus again, "he knew who was behind it, but he didn't say so."

Zeus frowned: "What's his attitude on this matter?"

"Neutral" does not interfere with any party.

Hephaestus briefly recounted the news he had received from Tartarus, looked at Hades, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "You came here so quickly, Helios has been killed Brought back to the Underworld?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Hades' eyes, and his tone was a little blunt: "No, I will take him back to the underworld." He gave up catching Helios because he was worried about Hephaestus. Either way, he couldn't say it.

Hephaestus keenly sensed Hades' uneasiness and was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.Under the urging of Zeus' eyes, after nodding goodbye to Hades, he and Hermes went back to the mountain of God.

When they returned to Mount Olympus, the sky was already covered in darkness.Hephaestus looked up at the star-studded dark night sky, and there was a breeze blowing on his face, which was cool but unknowingly cold, but instead had a sassy feeling that lifted his spirits.

The giant race has been wiped out, Typhon has also been pushed back to the prison of the underworld, and the matter is considered to be over.As he lay on the bed, his thoughts drifted involuntarily to the questions Tartarus asked him.

If he asked Tartarus questions with the purpose of formulating, then Tartarus can be said to ask some questions that he thought were insignificant purely out of interest.

What do you think of Hades?

Do you think Hades likes him?

Who found the cave first, Hades or Zeus?

These questions feel awkward no matter how you think about them.

Not wanting to continue to dwell on the reasons, he turned his thoughts to who was behind the scenes.

If Tartarus is really just simply having fun, stay neutral knowing who is behind it.Neither Uranus nor Cronus, could it be Chaos, the God of Chaos?

but…

In the Greek mythology he knew, Chaos was just a mass of emptiness and chaos.

Chaos produces the earth, the earth produces the sky, the sky and the earth combine to produce time and everything, and finally chaos becomes a trance-like tangible space, infinite darkness and eternal chaos.

If it's really Chaos...

Could it be explained that the God of Chaos, like the God of the Abyss, has always had consciousness. Before, the consciousness was just sleeping, and now it is just waking up?

But if it's really Chaos, he doesn't seem to need to do those things at all...

And Huo Qilin, who disappeared as soon as he said he would disappear, and has not been seen for so long.This is completely different from the system he recognizes. Shouldn't the system always exist in the host's consciousness space?

Thinking of the fire unicorn, Hephaestus felt inexplicably irritable.Forcing myself to let go of my thoughts, it didn't take long before I fell into a dream.

After waking up the next day, he had just left the palace when Aphrodite blocked his way.

Because she did not participate in the battle of the giant races, she did not see Hephaestus.So when she heard from other gods that Hephaestus had returned, she came here immediately.

It really is a rotten peach blossom that cannot be shaken off!Hephaestus looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The only thing that makes him feel relieved now is that this time the Goddess of Beauty didn't bring that brat Eros.

"Dear Hephaestus, I am so happy to see you back. The dark and cold underworld is not suitable for you who are flamboyant and energetic."

Aphrodite said with love in her eyes, as if she wanted to hug Hephaestus forward, but she had to stop due to the lesson of Eros before.In the end, I had no choice but to start a verbal offensive in a tone that I thought was sensational: "Do you know that when you left here, I only felt that even the air became turbid, as long as I think of you facing that indifferent and terrifying person in the cold environment of the underworld... Pluto, I can't wait to go and rescue you right away. It's okay..." She smiled: "It's a good thing you're back, and the air has become fresh again, so fresh that I can smell the good smell that only belongs to you again." Said Finally took a deep breath.

The corners of Hephaestus's mouth twitched slightly, feeling extremely disgusted. If possible, he really wanted to point at the intoxicated woman in front of him and yell: You are actually a dog!Smell a fart!

He really couldn't figure out why Aphrodite was so attached to him, could it be because of the...tenderness she had treated her before...and because of the mission's needs...gentleness?

If that's the case, isn't it called lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot!

So marrying a beauty god is a mistake!This woman refuses to eat hard and soft, like a cowhide plaster, she wants to lean on him when she sees him.No, he must find a way to fundamentally kill Aphrodite's thoughts!

"My beloved Hephaestus, why don't you speak?" Seeing that he had been silent, Aphrodite suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help laughing: "Did my appearance surprise you too much?"

surprise?More or less frightened!Hephaestus fought back the urge to slap her, and moved right past her.

Aphrodite froze, turned to look at Hephaestus' back, and found that the man she admired had no intention of turning back to talk to her.Immediately, I felt extremely depressed.

how can…

Hephaestus... I must have you.

She bit her red lip, clenched her fists, and looked at his back with burning eyes, with a hint of sternness in her eyes.

Even though Hephaestus didn't look back, he could still feel Aphrodite's scorching gaze on him, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The place he was going right now was the banquet hall in the middle of the Olympus Mountain.

The gods defeated the giant race with their own power, and won peace for the Olympus mountain.Hera, who did not participate in the battle, naturally took on her own responsibilities at this time. After Zeus returned to the mountain with Dionysus and other gods, she immediately sent invitations to each god in the name of the Queen of Heaven.

At that time, he was staying with Tartarus in the cave, so he did not receive the news, so that when he was separated from Zeus and Hermes last night, Zeus, who was the king of gods, relayed this incident to him.But he didn't expect that he bumped into Aphrodite just after he came out of the palace today.

Originally, he planned to sit in the small pavilion outside the palace for a while, but because of Aphrodite, he arrived at the banquet hall ahead of time.The banquets on Mount Olympus generally start before noon, and end at the night of the day, or countless days and nights later.

Because of the early arrival, there were no other gods in the hall at this time.Hephaestus found a random place to sit down, picked up the wine glass on the table and twirled it very bored.

Looking at the non-stop spinning small wine glass, I suddenly felt dazed for a moment. In his current situation, at best it sounds like leisure, at worst it means doing nothing.Compared with his work in the previous life, he has almost no substantive things to do as Vulcan.

Even so, he didn't want to be like some gods on Mount Olympus, immersing himself in joy all day long and forgetting himself.

He still has a lot to do.

Rather than being confused here, it is better to improve your strength...

After figuring this out, Hephaestus no longer struggled with the melancholy in his heart. After he straightened the wine glass and put it away, he began to condense the flames.These flames come from the earth and various places in the sky, and are transmitted through a special space in a way of emptiness.

Because of the godhead of fire, the strength can be improved by condensing high-energy flames together through a method similar to compressing flames.His origin is like a small red spirit bead, the more flames condense, the smaller the bead and the stronger its power.

He closed his eyes, quietly feeling the warmth of the flames flowing through his body, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise upwards.The broken hair on the forehead covered the overly ostentatious red totem, and the handsome features were softened by the light and relaxed smile.

This smile happened to be seen by the sun god who came back from Xunri, and the shining golden chariot passed by outside the hall, and the sun was just right.
