[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

As Hades slowly approached, the distance between the two gradually narrowed.Just when his lips were about to touch those rosy lips, the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes.

Hades stopped moving, and met Hephaestus' eyes, and there was no embarrassment in his eyes of being found out.

Hephaestus looked at the magnified handsome face in front of him, suppressed the unease in his heart, and tried to make himself look more relaxed.He asked knowingly, "Are you trying to kiss me secretly?"

I thought Hades would cover up a little bit, but I didn't expect the other party to express the truest thoughts in his heart without any shyness: "I want to kiss you."

Hades was very explicit, but not as cynical and possessive as Zeus.When he said this, his eyes were extremely serious, and his voice was low with a hint of lazy magnetism. The heat was sprayed on Hephaestus' face like this, which made him feel embarrassed while itching, and at the same time, his heart rose again. An inexplicable feeling.

Seeing Hades so close, Hephaestus' face suddenly became slightly hot.

Noticing the subtle changes in Hephaestus, Hades' mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and the love in his eyes penetrated into Hephaestus' heart, making it difficult for him to pretend he didn't see it.

It was cold at night.

Hephaestus felt his face was getting slightly hot.

Regarding what Hades said, he felt that no matter how he answered, it seemed strange and inappropriate, so he simply didn't speak.Fortunately for him now... Fortunately, it was night, even if he blushed, he would not be noticed.

For the silence of Hephaestus,

For a moment, a warm and ambiguous atmosphere circulated between him and Hades.

"I want to kiss you." Hades moved closer, his eyes fixed on Hephaestus' eyes, the sharp and deep gaze seemed to penetrate his heart, Seeing clearly, he had nowhere to escape.

I'm not used to this distance, and I don't like this feeling.Hephaestus opened his mouth, and was about to break the strange atmosphere, when a dangerous signal suddenly appeared in the air.

Hades' eyes froze, he stood up at once, looked around warily, and quickly put his body into an excellent defensive posture.

Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stood up immediately, looking at Hades who was protecting himself behind him, he pursed his lips and looked a little complicated.

And at this moment, the dangerous fluctuations in the air became more and more intense.It was only a blink of an eye, and dozens of pairs of aggressive eyes suddenly appeared in the dark surroundings, and these eyes flashed with fierce rage and aggression.

"Wild wolves!" Hephaestus walked from behind Hades to his side, standing side by side with him, also maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

As if to confirm Hephaestus' conjecture, the second after he finished talking about the wild wolves, there were loud roars in the air.Immediately afterwards, dozens of wolves, stronger than lions, slowly emerged from the shadows.

Step by step, these wild wolves are like kings patrolling the territory, slowly approaching like Hephaestus.

Wolves are pack animals, and it is not surprising that dozens of wolves appear at the same time.And the bursts of roar just now are like some kind of code word for them, conveying the news of the discovery of the prey to the surrounding companions.So if they don't get rid of these wolves quickly, it won't be long before another pack of wild wolves rushes in.

The range of the wolves around them was slowly shrinking, and Hephaestus and Hades were back to back, staring at the approaching wolves with naked murderous intent and fierceness in their eyes.

Hades' eyes were cold, and at the same time as he pulled out the Pluto Excalibur, a strong murderous aura poured out instantly.The invisible murderous aura formed sharp knives in the air, slashing at the approaching wolves at lightning speed.

With painful howls, some wild wolves were blown away by their murderous aura, and fell to the ground vomiting blood and convulsing non-stop.

Hades didn't use supernatural power in this move, but simply combined sword energy and murderous energy into one. Even so, he still solved some wild wolves.

Seeing their companions lying on the ground and moaning in pain, the rest of the wild wolves all had fierce eyes and opened their mouths wide, showing their hard fangs, but they didn't dare to approach Hephaestus and the others.They stopped and observed vigilantly, as if they wanted to catch the moment when they relaxed a little, and rushed forward to bite.

Looking at the group of wild wolves pulling their fangs at him, Hephaestus suddenly felt that this was a very novel experience. He had never encountered such a situation of being besieged by wolves since he gained supernatural power.

Looking at it now, although his divine power recovered very slowly, it was more than enough to deal with these wild wolves.

After all, no one is more suitable than him to deal with wolves...

Hephaestus sneered and launched the attack first.He threw out his long whip and sent the nearest wolf away from them, and then concentrated the flames on the long whip at lightning speed, before the rest of the wolves attacked, he surrounded the long whip and surrounded it. himself and Hades.

In this situation, even if this group of wolves is wiped out with divine power, another group of wolves will swarm in again.It's better to keep your strength and take a good rest. Anyway, what he condenses is ordinary flames, but even though it's just ordinary flames, these wild wolves dare not approach.

Hephaestus glanced at the wild wolf lying on the ground ready to fight a protracted battle outside the circle of fire, raised his eyebrows and sat back to the previous place, leaning against the tree trunk, and said to Hades: "Come here too. Well, anyway, these wild wolves won't leave for a while. They can't come in. If they guard here, they will just make other dangerous animals afraid. This can be regarded as protection in disguise. In this case, we might as well take advantage of it take a break."

Hades didn't speak, but walked obediently to Hephaestus and sat down.

Although it was Hephaestus himself who asked Hades to come and sit beside him, when the other party actually sat beside him, the inexplicable and weird atmosphere just now seemed to be slowly regenerating.Hephaestus really wanted to ignore the gaze that Hades was looking at him, but the more he did this, the easier it would be to be influenced. He could even hear the other person's breathing rate clearly.

It must be too quiet...

He focused his gaze on the wolf outside the flames, feeling the need to say something to break the atmosphere.So after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Hades, we walked for nearly a day, how far is it from the exit of the forest?"

"It's less than half a day away." Hades said.

Hephaestus pursed his lips slightly. He actually wanted to ask Hades how his divine power had recovered so far, and whether he could use his divine power to send a message to his subordinate Hypnos and the others.

In fact, Hades had already recovered his divine power. He looked at the bright eyes of Hephaestus under the light of the fire, and the brilliance of that moment stopped him from speaking.

He wanted to stay with him a little longer, that's all.

"Tell me about your past," he asked softly, wanting to know more about Hephaestus.

"What happened to me before?" Hephaestus didn't expect Hades to ask this. He raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I was abandoned by my own mother just like I am now."

Abandoned from birth.

That's why he hates Hera so much. Making a chair to trap Hera can be regarded as venting out the negative emotions of the two lives.

For Hera, he didn't feel that he had done too much.He was not a kind person in the first place, and he didn't have the compassionate heart to tolerate those who hurt him.

Hades' question evoked his memories. Facing Hades' interrogation, he didn't feel that the other party was involving his privacy. Instead, he seemed to open up a chatterbox and told him everything that happened in modern times. Hades.

Hades listened quietly to Hephaestus recalling his previous life. When Hephaestus talked about the saddest days of his previous life, Hades did not look at him sympathetically.He just listened quietly, with his own silent care.

Sharing his heaviest period of time as a memory, Hephaestus suddenly felt a lot more open.The knots that had been piled up deep in his heart, which he couldn't even find himself, seemed to dissipate at this moment.

Maybe he just longed for a quiet listener.

Compared with the tense atmosphere where the wolves were staring at each other outside the flames, Hephaestus and the others were filled with a faint warmth.

Then, one of the wolves stood up. The wolf glanced at Hephaestus and Hades in the circle of fire, and left.

With this wolf as the beginning, other wild wolves lying on the ground also got up one after another. They knew that it was useless to continue here, so they all left one after another.

Until the last wild wolf walked away, there was a little light in the dark sky, and another morning was coming.

After extinguishing the flames, Hephaestus and Hades walked side by side.He looked sideways at Hades' face with no change in expression. He had been talking in the middle of the night last night. He talked for a long time, and the other party listened for a long time, and he didn't rest all night.

But looking at him like this, he doesn't seem to feel tired at all.

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows, looked away from Hades, and turned to look ahead seriously.

After walking for a while, he suddenly said, "Do you think Apollo will find us when he passes by here today?"

Hades didn't answer, but asked him instead: "You want him to find us?"

Hephaestus was taken aback, why did he feel that there was a momentary fluctuation in Hades's usual calm tone when he said this?

"I just want to get out of here quickly, don't you want to?" This time he asked Hades.

After half a second of silence, Hades lowered his voice and said, "I just want to stay with you."

When he said this, Hephaestus couldn't answer, so he pretended not to hear and continued walking.

Seeing that he did not speak, Hades did not speak anymore, but the light in his eyes flashed. It seems that some of the methods that the nurse told him were not all useless.

"You can talk about love to the person you like appropriately. Although the other person may not care at first, but if you talk too much, you will take care of it..."

He wants to approach Hephaestus slowly, so that the other party can accept and get used to his existence.

For Hephaestus, he must win.

Hephaestus thought that they would never meet a god, and if they did, it would be Apollo.But he didn't expect that the first to discover him and Hades were two people he hadn't expected at all.

No, it shouldn't be two people.

The precise definition should be that two dogs...

Two silver retrievers that he has almost forgotten: Dasha and Ergua!

So when these two dogs broke through the white mist and fell from the sky and appeared in front of him, his heart was actually complicated.

Dasha and Ergua ran up to Hephaestus and the others in what they thought was the most majestic and domineering posture, raised their heads and yelled at Hephaestus, as if they were asking for credit, and the meaning of seeking praise in their eyes was self-evident Metaphor.

It's just that before their master opened their mouths to praise, they keenly felt the cold air from Hades, the Hades beside their master.

Accidentally meeting the sharp eyes of this cold-faced Pluto, Dasha's heart trembled, and he subconsciously took a step back.For this Pluto-sama, his innate intuition told him that he would never mess with it.But it really didn't understand that His Majesty Pluto was not happy when he came in time.

Sure enough, the thoughts of these gods are too complicated...

It and Ergua looked at each other, and then the two huge silver hounds silently walked to Hephaestus's feet, lying on the ground while gently rubbing their heads against his feet, while letting out innocent moans. sound.

Hephaestus lowered his head to look at Dasha and Ergua who were loitering at his feet from left to right, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What kind of trouble is this feeling of being bullied and looking for your mother!

So why did these two dogs become so honest in front of Hades?

Hephaestus glanced at Hades suspiciously, then looked up at the sky that was almost covered by leaves, and suddenly realized a very serious problem: "We have stayed in modern times for about two days. How long has it been? There should be a time difference." He said to Hades.

"So far, the time difference cannot be determined," Hades said, calmly beginning to analyze.

In the end, Hephaestus concluded in one sentence, "No matter what, you have to get out quickly." After speaking, he lightly kicked Dasha and Ergua, and when the two hounds looked up at him, they half-closed their eyes Said: "Then you should know what to do."

Dasha and Ergua howled in response and got up from the ground.Hephaestus turned over handsomely and sat on Dasha's back, while Ergua walked slowly in front of Hades.

Hades glanced at Hephaestus who was already sitting on Dasha's back. If possible, he would really like to sit on that dog's back as well.

but…

Hades turned his gaze back to Ergua in front of him with complicated eyes.

There are two dogs...

Ergua turned around and yelled at Hades, signaling him to come up quickly, but after meeting his cold eyes, she shivered imperceptibly.

Dasha looked at Ergua with sympathy.

After Hades sat on Ergua's back, the two hounds raised their heads to the sky and howled, then flapped their wings and flew out of the forest in an unstoppable manner.

Breaking through the white smoke that enveloped the forest, Hephaestus and Hades sat on the backs of Dasha and Ergua, and appeared in front of Hypnos, the sleeping god.

Hypnos had received a message from their Majesty last night. After he knew that there was news about their missing Majesty Pluto, he was about to rush to pick them up with the divine chariot of Pluto.But for unknown reasons, His Majesty Pluto only asked him to wait outside the forest.

At first he couldn't figure out why, but now that he saw Hephaestus appearing with their king, he instantly understood.

but…

Hypnos paused, touched his chin, and shot his eyes back and forth at Hades and Hephaestus.

In fact, His Majesty Pluto is not missing at all, but go on a trip with Vulcan!

Otherwise, how to explain the unique clothes on their bodies?

This is simply a naked couple outfit!

So Vulcan has been taken down by their Majesty?

Hypnos, who felt that his guess was completely correct, accidentally spoke out what was in his head.

He blinked mischievously at Hephaestus and smiled happily.

Hephaestus raised his pretty eyebrows, wanting to tell this guy that you are definitely overthinking.Judging from the clothes they wear, all modern men are lovers...

Hades glanced at Hephaestus, opened the corners of his mouth, raised a beautiful arc, and said, "It's almost there."

Unexpectedly, Hades would say this, Hephaestus was taken aback.Hypnos smiled even brighter, and said while laughing: "As expected of your Majesty, it seems that there is only one last step left!"

Hephaestus reacted, his face darkened, looked at Hypnos who was smiling exaggeratedly, and said with a fake smile: "I really want to put garlic in your mouth."

Hypnos was curious: "Why?"

"Because garlic smells bad, you just need to open your mouth, and the smell of garlic will come out, so you can just shut up!"

As soon as Hephaestus finished speaking, Hypnos covered his stomach with a smile: "Haha... So our future queen is so humorous... Haha..."

Hephaestus frowned, and when he was about to correct his wrong address, Hades spoke first: "Hypnos, how long has it been since the day Kronos escaped?"

Hearing Hades ask a question he was more concerned about, Hephaestus' expression became serious, and Hypnos also withdrew his smile, and replied seriously: "Three days."

Three days.

Neither long nor short.

Adding the day they disappeared, the day in modern times, and the day in the forest, it is almost three days.

So the time difference should be the same...

"What about Olympus?" asked Hephaestus.

Hypnos: "Don't worry, nothing else happened."

Hephaestus nodded, as long as nothing happened to Mount Olympus, he could return to Mount Etona with peace of mind.

His current divine power has not fully recovered, and it can even be said that the recovery is very slow. If sleep can make his divine power recover faster, returning to Mount Etona should be a good choice.Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Hades and said, "I'll go back first."

Before Hades could speak, Hypnos exaggeratedly shouted: "Go back? Ah! Yes! You should go back, the gate of Hades has long been opened for His Majesty Pluto and the future Queen of Hades!" The chariot pulled forward.

Hephaestus took out the axe, weighed it in his hand, and threatened with half-closed eyes: "Hypnos, if you call it indiscriminately, I guarantee you will have a wonderful date with it."

The sharp blade on the ax flashed until it was bright, and Hypnos quickly waved his hand: "Just kidding, don't be so serious." Besides, sooner or later he will become the Queen of Hades.He didn't say the last word.

Hades took Hypnos's words and said to Hephaestus: "It is best to recover your divine power in a place that will not be disturbed by the outside world. If you return to Mount Etona, I think Zeus and the others should come back soon." I will find you." He paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, the underworld is a good choice."

Hephaestus retracted the axe, lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, as if he was thinking about it.

Hypnos quickly echoed: "The underworld is really good. God King Zeus and the others can't enter the underworld without His Majesty's permission. You don't have to worry about being disturbed in the underworld! Divine power should also recover faster!"

Hephaestus pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Hypnos glanced at Dasha and Ergua behind Hephaestus from the corner of his eye, pointed to the two silver hounds and said to Hephaestus, "Look, there are only them The two are too lonely, I believe they will be very happy to see Cerberus! At that time, they can not only play but also learn from each other. Am I right, Your Majesty Pluto." He looked at Hades.

"Well," Hades nodded, a smile flashed in his eyes.Then he glanced at Dasha and Ergua, who were dissatisfied with Hypnos' words, with warning eyes, and the oppressive eyes directly caused the two hounds to swallow their mouths with a roar.

Pluto or something, they can't be messed with...

Hephaestus looked at Hypnos and the chariot of Pluto behind Hypnos, then turned his gaze to Hades, and suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.

It seems that it was the same before he went to the underworld last time, but the difference is that this time there are two more dogs.More importantly, the last time Hades was hit by the arrow of love, but this time...

Hephaestus suddenly didn't know how to describe it...

After a moment of silence, he nodded, agreeing to the suggestion to go to the underworld.

Perhaps going to the underworld in this situation is also a good choice.

If he returns to Mount Etonas, Hermes will definitely tell Zeus about his return. Once Zeus knows, it is not difficult to guarantee that Zeus himself or other gods will not come to him.

Thinking about it carefully, the environment in the underworld is quiet, and he doesn't have to face the gods of Mount Olympus.

not to mention…

He trusts Hades a lot now.

This kind of trust seems to come a little inexplicably.

When did it start...

Was it from Hades grabbing his wrist the moment he was sucked into the vortex?Or did he see Hades hurt his right shoulder trying to shield him?Or did you see that figure trying to cook in the kitchen later?Leaning against a tree and talking about memories?

maybe both...

On the chariot.

He glanced sideways at Hades who was sitting beside him, unconsciously, he seemed to be slowly influenced by this family.

Fortunately, this feeling is not bad...

I hope that in the underworld, I can calm down and wait for my divine power to recover.

It's just that he seems to have overlooked one point,

The God of Vulcan from Mount Olympus once again went to the underworld with Pluto in a chariot. The gods of Mount Olympus knew about this, and his trip to Hades will definitely be full of "accidents"!
