[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

The moment the door was opened, Hephaestus reacted abruptly, quickly wrapped the towel around his lower body and sat down in the bathtub.But soon, he stood up again abruptly.He's not a woman, so it's strange that he cares so much!

It's just that it's even weirder to sit down and stand up like this.

Seeing Hades whose eyes kept moving down from him, Hephaestus was so angry that he almost shouted, "What are you doing here! Get out!"

His roar, which was almost roaring, was full of air. Without the bath towel around his waist, the little Hephaestus below seemed to shrink slightly in the not-so-big air.

And this is another scene in Hades' eyes.

The slender figure under the water mist space, the strong waist and the clear muscle texture of the bones will neither feel too strong nor too slender.Appropriately sexy, the water droplets flowed down the collarbone, slowly slid over the two points on the chest, flowed through the lower abdomen and hid under the towel.

Hades' eyes were getting darker and darker, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion in his eyes.

Hephaestus blushed, but he was not shy but angry.

Hades withdrew his scorching gaze, and on the verge of Hephaestus' eruption, coughed in a disguised manner, turned around and left, but the smile on the corner of his mouth only increased.

After the door was closed again, Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief, but the comfort of taking a bath before was destroyed.

damn it!

He was actually seen by that guy Hades!

And that aggressive look,

For some reason, Hephaestus suddenly felt that his face seemed a little hot.

Must be pissed!

Hades returned to the sofa and sat down again, picked up the book that he had finished reading and continued to read, but the image of Hephaestus naked with only a bath towel around his waist kept appearing in his mind.

Hephaestus changed into his bathrobe and came out of the bathroom, only to find that Hades had been staring at the words in the book and hadn't seen him turn the pages for a long time.

"Hey, why did you come in suddenly?" Hephaestus walked over with a displeased tone.

Hades raised his head and said, "I just want to ask you where the next part of this book is." He closed the book in his hand and showed him the cover of the book.

Hephaestus frowned: "Then why did you come in without knocking!"

"The door wasn't closed, so I came in." Hades said without changing his face.

The corner of Hephaestus' mouth twitched, suddenly remembering that he really just pushed the door.But that's because he used to live alone, so he didn't have to worry about someone breaking in!

never mind,

I am a man, why should I care about my body being seen by others like a woman.What's more, the person looking at him is not a woman.

Thinking of this, Hephaestus immediately felt a lot better.He looked at the clock on the wall, and said to Hades immorally: "I'm going to bed first, you can find a place to sleep after you take a bath." After finishing speaking, he walked to his room, anyway, he was in the hospital Already told Hades how to use modern things.

After a day of tossing, Hephaestus couldn't wait to lie down on his bed and take a good night's sleep.

In fact, he did.

With the familiar and comfortable bed under him, he quickly fell asleep.

In his sleep, he vaguely felt a slender hand touching his cheek, very lightly...

insignificant...

The hand slowly descended, and the fingertips slid across his chest, gradually moving to the right...

Not liking this feeling, he unconsciously pushed it away with his hands, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Hades looked at Hephaestus who fell asleep with his back turned to him, and there was unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

Is it because you are in your own home?

That's why alertness is so low...

He lay gently beside Hephaestus, approaching him sideways, smelling the same shampoo scent from the other's hair as his own, the corner of his mouth raised a nice arc.

The next morning, the morning light had already shone in through the cracks in the window.Hephaestus rubbed his eyes, turned over and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly felt a gust of hot air on his face.

heat? !

Hephaestus woke up from his dream at once, and his goal was the smiling face of Hades.

When did this guy come to his bed!

Hephaestus sat up suddenly from the bed, suppressed the inexplicable emotions that suddenly rose in his heart, looked at Hades, and frowned beautifully.He opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, Hades spoke first: "You said let me find a place to sleep on my own. I checked, and this is the best place." He sat up from the bed as he spoke.

Hephaestus held his forehead weakly: "I mean other places except my room!"

Hades pursed his lips tightly and fell silent.

Seeing him like this, Hephaestus swallowed the words of reproach.

What kind of trouble is this bullied look going to be!

Hephaestus couldn't help roaring inwardly.

Blame me!

Rubbing his hair, Hephaestus got up and took out a piece of clothing from the closet, raised his eyebrows at Hades, the meaning was self-evident.

Hades looked at the clothes in his hand, then picked up the new clothes Hephaestus bought for him yesterday, got up and walked out the door consciously.When he went out, he closed the door intimately.

He quickly changed his clothes. When Hephaestus went out, Hades had already changed his clothes and was fiddling with in the kitchen, making crackling noises.

What is this guy doing again!

Hephaestus lifted his feet and walked towards the kitchen. When he passed the sofa, he accidentally glanced at the small red box in the corner of the sofa, and stopped abruptly.

Little red box?Could it be something that the nurse lady gave Hades yesterday?

Hephaestus was stunned for a moment, then reached out to pick up the thing.

Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, he carefully opened the box, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably after seeing the contents inside.

I saw a small ointment in a small box.

Originally, the ointment was nothing, but since Hephaestus opened it horizontally, it was easy to see the words on it.On the ointment, three big words were written: Lubricant!

Reminiscent of the way the nurse looked at himself and Hades before, Hephaestus instantly understood the purpose of this lubricant.He suddenly felt a chill, and the box was severely deformed by him.

Trying to resist the urge to speak out, Hephaestus directly threw the ointment and the box into the trash can.Now he really wants to know what the nurse lady said to Hades while he was shopping for clothes!

He walked to the kitchen with big strides, but before he could speak, he froze for a moment.

When a person who has always been cold and handsome suddenly wears a home apron, and the hand that originally held Hades Excalibur also picked up a kitchen knife, what an impact it is!

Hephaestus felt that Hades was just brushing his cognition, but it had to be said that such Hades was extremely cute.

"Are you... are... cooking?" Hephaestus scanned the slightly chaotic kitchen, asking very uncertainly.

Hades nodded.Because the nurse told him that to keep a man, he must first keep his stomach.

Seeing Hades nodding, Hephaestus suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.Orphaned, he was abandoned as a child and has been alone for as long as he can remember.No one cooked for him.Now Hades was standing in his kitchen, although there was an urge to laugh, but more... a faint warmth flooded into his heart.

very subtle feeling...

Surprisingly, I like it.

Forgot to ask Hades what Miss Nurse said to him.Hephaestus walked over and took the kitchen knife from the opponent, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me do it."

"Okay," Hades replied softly, then stood aside obediently, quietly watching Hephaestus skillfully chop the vegetables.

Forcing himself to ignore Hades' gaze, Hephaestus tried his best to focus on chopping vegetables.

Cutting vegetables, frying vegetables, the whole action is done in one go.

Soon, a home-cooked dish was born from the hands of Hephaestus.

Because it was morning, Hephaestus only cooked white rice porridge and two light dishes.

And Hades didn't look away from the beginning until he was done.

before the dinner table.

Hephaestus looked at Hades who was sitting opposite him and eating gracefully. Even white rice porridge and green vegetables could be eaten more elegantly than French western food.

This is true nobility.

While Hephaestus sighed, he thought that if he ate like him, he would definitely be said to be pretending if he was seen!

This is the naked gap!

"What's the matter?" Hades saw that he just looked at himself and didn't speak, so he put down his chopsticks and asked aloud.

"Nothing." Hephaestus replied. After a pause, he thought for a while and then continued, "How is your divine power recovered?"

"Almost half recovered."

"Half of it... It's still relatively fast..." He only recovered [-]%, "We'll go around that sewer and see if we can find the red fragments."

"Okay," Hades frowned suddenly after thinking of something, "Since the fire unicorn you mentioned has the ability to allow you to travel through time and space, why did he suddenly disappear?"

As soon as the Fire Qilin was mentioned, Hephaestus suddenly became serious. After thinking about it carefully, the Fire Qilin initially asked him to complete the counterattack mission and then disappeared by himself.And what he did after it disappeared didn't follow the original Greek mythology at all.I don't know if this counts as a counterattack failure?

"Now I'm sure that the red shard is definitely related to the fire unicorn, and at the same time, there is a certain connection with myself. The link of this connection is the fire unicorn, but I don't know what the purpose of the fire unicorn is..."

After listening to Hephaestus, Hades thought for a while, and said his guess: "The red fragment fell from Cronus, and Cronus is the creation of time. And the combination of destructive power. The red fragments that lead us to travel to this world may be related to the ability of Cronus itself."

"So you think it might be the fire unicorn that released Cronus," Hephaestus asked, "Have you ever thought that it was Chaos, the God of Chaos?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." After all, Tartarus had awakened before they knew it, and Chaos might have already awakened.

Hephaestus' heart sank: "Maybe it's not a coincidence that we came here this time, but the behind-the-scenes is consciously guiding us in the direction he wants." Speaking of this, he himself was surprised, This feeling actually existed a long time ago, probably when the fire unicorn suddenly disappeared.

Hades frowned, and said a guess that even he himself was not sure about: "Perhaps the purpose of the behind-the-scenes release of Cronus is to get us here. He calculated that Cronus would be wiped out."

"But it is full of uncertain factors. If other gods pick up the red fragments, they may not give them to me, and I will not use my divine power to see what happened. If all these were arranged by the behind-the-scenes ..." Speaking of this, Hephaestus paused for a moment, and his expression became serious: "Then why did he ask us to come here..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the doorbell rang suddenly, followed by a knock on the door.

At this time, who will come to him?

Hephaestus and Hades looked at each other, seeing the same doubts and doubts in each other's eyes.

"I'll go take a look," Hades got up, walked over and opened the door.

"Sir, your courier." The person standing outside saw the door opened, and immediately handed the package to Hades: "Please sign for it." He took out a pen from his pocket.

"I didn't order anything, there can be no express delivery." Hephaestus walked towards Hades and the others while talking.

The courier said professionally: "This is a package sent to you by someone else, please sign for it." Then he sent the pen out again.

Hephaestus frowned, took the pen and signed it, and when he found that there was no specific address of the sender, his brows became even tighter.

"Do you know the sender's address?" he asked the courier.

The courier shook his head, took back the pen and tore off the page of receipt, then turned and left.

Holding the not-so-big package, Hephaestus and Hades exchanged glances before falling on the package in their hands.Perhaps it was his intuition, he always felt that this package came very strangely.

"Open it and have a look," Hades said.

Hephaestus nodded, and was slightly taken aback after unpacking the package.

Hades also frowned.

I saw that there was nothing else in the package, it was the red fragment they planned to look for in a while!

Red shards...how come...

wrong!

Hephaestus' eyes froze, he took out the red shard, looked carefully, and found that it was slightly different from the one Hades gave him at the time.

Hades also noticed this, lowering his brows in thought, his eyes filled with darkness.

Hephaestus remembered the red shard that Hades gave him at first, the totem pattern on it was black, dark and deep.And now on this fragment, the totem pattern on it has changed from black to dark red!He is sure that if it is night now, this red fragment will definitely emit a strange light because of this dark red!

Who the hell is that guy who sent him the red shard!

The red fragments should be around the sewer where they fell, but how could it be in the hands of other people, and subtle changes have taken place.

Around the sewers...

sewer!

Hephaestus's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered the gentleman who sent Hades to the hospital with him.

If the red shards were indeed around the sewers, that gentleman was most likely the one who sent him the package.

It's just that the totem pattern on the red shards changed from black to dark red. Did they change after they crossed over, or did it become in the hands of that gentleman?

Hephaestus told Hades his doubts and conjectures.For this Pluto who traveled with him to modern times, Hephaestus now trusts him wholeheartedly.

The whole thing is full of coincidences, and there is often a necessary connection inadvertently.

Hades was puzzled, and Hephaestus was equally puzzled.It seemed like they were missing a point, which was enough to tie the whole thing together, but it was missing.This caused them to be unable to reason closely from the beginning of what happened to the present.

Hephaestus held the red shard tightly, struggling a little in his heart.Once he perceives the information inside with divine power again, he will return to the world of Greek mythology.

Hades stood quietly opposite Hephaestus, not disturbing his thinking.He knew he was choosing between remaining here and returning to their world.In just one day, he could see that Hephaestus liked this place, and he always took special care of his home.

Although Hephaestus would not be able to return if he chose to stay, he was not worried at all.

a kind of self-awareness,

He believed that Hephaestus would choose to go back with him.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and the time was passing by inadvertently.

Hephaestus sighed silently in his heart, and finally chose to go back.

Up to now, they are in the light, and the behind-the-scenes are in the dark.Although he wanted to just stay in modern times and continue to live a peaceful life before, the situation forced him to return to the world of Greek mythology.His divine power is still there, indicating that the matter has not been resolved.For whatever reason, he had to go back!

After all, there are still many unanswered questions...

What's more, he has a strong premonition that only by going back again can he unravel the truth.

"I will use my divine power to perceive the red fragments again." Hephaestus looked at Hades with firm eyes.

The corner of Hades' mouth curled into a beautiful arc, and he replied softly: "Okay."

Hephaestus also laughed, then closed his eyes and began to activate his gradually restored divine power.

Hades walked across from Hephaestus to his side, and stretched out his hand to hold his other hand tightly.

Soon, around them, the air began to fluctuate rapidly, and when the air rapidly twisted to the most violent, a huge vortex appeared in front of them instantly.

The rapidly rotating black vortex seemed to have a huge suction force, and instantly swept Hephaestus and Hades into it.

When he opened his eyes, it was another scene.

The huge and dense forest, even in the daytime, looks strangely dark and dark, and occasionally there will be a burst of white smoke.

Hephaestus looked at Hades, who was still wearing modern clothes.And from Hades' eyes, Hephaestus saw that his short hair had turned into long hair again, and he had the totem on his forehead again, but the clothes were still the ones he wore in modern times.

"The divine power has been weakened and there is not much left, what should I do now?" He asked Hades, but he was actually asking himself.

Because he obviously felt that the little divine power he had just recovered disappeared after he used the red fragment to cross again.

Obviously Hades is in the same situation as him.

What makes Hephaestus a little confused is that he himself was consumed by using divine power to perceive the red fragments, so what happened to Hades?

Seeing Hephaestus' question, Hades said: "I traveled through time and space and was rejected by time and space, and my divine power was used to resist this rejection."

Hephaestus sighed imperceptibly.Now this place is surrounded by tall trees, which are densely surrounded by a huge forest, which is comparable to the original forest.

The only thing he was sure of was that they were back in Greek mythology.

just how to get out...

Hephaestus put away the red shards and glanced at the seemingly borderless place surrounded by jungles, suddenly feeling a little dazed.Although he wasn't a road idiot, he couldn't find his way at all when he faced the same trees all around him.

"How much power do you have left?" he asked Hades.If possible, he really wanted to use his divine power to condense the flames under his feet and fly up.It's just that if he really did this, he might have fallen down because of lack of divine power before he could fly up.

"There's only a little left." Even though there was not much divine power left, Hades didn't show the slightest panic on his face.

Hephaestus was silent for a while, then asked again: "How is your sense of direction?"

"It's okay," Hades said with a smile in his eyes.

"Then you lead the way, let's try to get closer to the exit." It takes time for the divine power to recover, and they can wait for the divine power to gradually recover while walking.

"Okay," Hades nodded, then took out the Pluto Excalibur and drew a few strokes on the tree trunk beside him as a mark. "Come on," he said to Hephaestus, and took the first steps.

Hephaestus glanced at the imprint Hades made on the tree trunk, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised slightly.

On the thick trunk, the imprint of a small flame is extremely obvious.

Occasionally, there were a few howls of wild wolves in the dense forest, accompanied by the sound of cold wind blowing leaves.

Along the way, Hades would mark the tree trunks he passed every time he walked.Hephaestus followed Hades obediently to the right, less than half a meter away from him.

Hephaestus could feel that his divine power was gradually recovering with the passage of time, although it was very slow, but it was indeed recovering.

Looking at the back of Hades in front of him, the corners of Hephaestus' mouth rose again. Hades, the Lord of Hades, unexpectedly made him feel reliable...

After a while, he retracted his gaze, looked up at the sky that was almost covered by dense leaves, and sighed: "Hades, do you think we will be lucky enough to meet familiar gods? If we do meet Now, who do you think it will be?"

"Apollo, the sun god," Hades said.

"The sun god..." Hephaestus shook his head: "Why don't you think it's Hermes? I remember that he has the ability to see everything. Or Hypnos and Thanatos, after all they It's your subordinate, maybe they can sense your existence."

Hades stopped in his footsteps and turned back, "This forest should have existed in Gaia's generation. Look at the white smoke around here. The smoke is dense and seems to contain naturally formed power. It will not only block God The only line of sight will block the perception of the outside world, so even if they pass above, they will only see a cloud of white mist, and they will not be able to find us at all."

"How did you discover this?" Hephaestus was very curious, after all, it was hard to think of.

"When I marked the tree trunk for the first time, I used my divine power to sense it, and found that I couldn't perceive the surrounding situation at all. I deduced that it might be the reason for the white mist. Of course, it may also be because of insufficient divine power."

Hephaestus listened to Hades' analysis, and he felt that Hades was not as cold and indifferent as before, but his wisdom and calmness made him admire from the bottom of his heart.

"Then why do you think it's the sun god?" He walked up to Hades and asked, but before Hades could speak, he said again: "Let me think about it, is it because the sun god is light again?" God. When he was patrolling the sun, the chariot passed the top of this forest, and the chariot and Apollo's divine power would make the sunlight shining on the white mist evaporate the natural divine power in the mist. Is that so?" he smiled.

"Yeah." Hades responded softly, looking at Hephaestus with softer eyes.

The two walked for a while without encountering any gods.Looking up through the thick foliage, the sky has gradually sunk, day has gradually covered darkness, and night is not suitable for them to move on now.

Hephaestus walked under a tree, patted the trunk, and said with satisfaction: "We will rest here, and we will leave tomorrow during the day. There are too many uncertain factors at night."

"Well," Hades glanced around, and then looked at Hephaestus: "You rest, I will watch the night."

"The two of us take turns guarding." Hephaestus was very firm about this.

After a moment of silence, Hades nodded and said, "Go to sleep first, I will wake you up in the middle of the night."

"Well," said Hephaestus, and sat down under the tree, leaning against the trunk.I don't know if it's because he uses divine power to perceive the red fragments, but he feels that his mental power is exhausted very quickly and he gets tired easily.

"Remember to wake me up." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Hades sat beside him, gently brushing away the broken hair on his forehead, and stared at his face for a long time.

His gaze first fell on the totem above the corner of his eye, and then moved slowly. The long and dense eyelashes cast a shadow on the man's closed eyes.His eyes gradually moved down, and his eyes stopped on the tightly closed lips under the man's tall nose bridge.

The well-defined lips were slightly rosy, as if dreaming of something beautiful, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

With a flash in his eyes, Hades leaned forward and approached slowly.
