[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

Aphrodite's words made Hephaestus not know how to answer for a moment.After a moment of silence, he glanced at Hades, then turned his gaze back to Aphrodite.Looking at himself in Aphrodite's eyes, when the other party thought he would not speak again, he suddenly said: "You are right, I really like Hades."

As soon as Hephaestus' words fell, Aphrodite seemed to be greatly stimulated, covering her chest, almost crying out of grief.Her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything: "You..."

Hades looked at the profile of Hephaestus, thinking of what Hephaestus said just now, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Whatever his purpose in saying this, he felt very happy.

Seeing Aphrodite's shocked expression, Hephaestus strengthened his decision in his heart, so he continued: "I really like Hades, so don't keep pestering us anymore, so that we will all be tired." " After finishing speaking, he took a last look at Aphrodite, turned around and said to Hades: "Let's go." There is nothing left to ask.

Hades nodded.

The two left together as they had come.

Not long after he left, Hades couldn't help asking: "What did you say to make Aphrodite completely give up?" He was already ready to hear Hephaestus' positive answer. prepared, but did not expect Hephaestus to give you an ambiguous answer.

"Not quite," said Hephaestus.

These three simple words made Hades smile.

The smile in Hades' eyes seemed to have infected Hephaestus, and Hephaestus couldn't help but relax a lot.

I hope that Aphrodite will give up her pursuit of him. He is not blessed to endure such a sickly beauty.

Now recalling Aphrodite's words just now, they are not without gain.

A person who hates Aphrodite extremely, but also a person who looks extremely similar to him.

This reminded him of the original god of fire, Hephaestus, who hated Aphrodite because of Aphrodite's affair with Ares.

"Maybe that guy is really the original Vulcan in Greek mythology." Hephaestus said his guess.Although he himself felt that this conjecture was groundless, even a bit fanciful.After all, as Hades said, he was already Hephaestus when he crossed over to the newly born Hephaestus.It is almost impossible for two Hephaestus to exist in one time and space at the same time.But he had a strong awareness in his heart that that person was really the original Vulcan.

No reason, just intuition.

Hades didn't nod or shake his head, but said lightly: "Everything is still speculation now." He paused, and after thinking of something, he said: "If he is really the original Hephaestus, he must be here Planning something, the red shard, could it have something to do with him?"

Hephaestus rubbed his hair a little irritably, "Maybe it has something to do with the fire unicorn." What counterattack system, he now very much doubts that the fire unicorn is not a system at all, and the system may just be its rhetoric.

When he thought of Huo Qilin, he felt extremely irritable, for no reason, he just felt irritable.

Sensing the change in Hephaestus' mood, Hades put his hand on his shoulder lightly, and met his gaze accurately: "Calm down."

Hades' voice was low, with his usual coldness, but listening carefully, there was a touch of warmth in the coldness.His words seemed to have a magical power, which calmed Hephaestus's restless heart.

"We will reorganize the information we have learned so far. If you think about it carefully, what else is missing." Hades said again.

After being silent for half a second, Hephaestus nodded, and the thoughts in his mind began to spin.

Hades stood aside, quietly watching Hephaestus meditate.

Hephaestus thought a lot, starting from the beginning when he was impregnated with the baby Hera dropped.The Huo Qilin, who was still a small flame, bound him to the counterattack system, and then improved his appearance to improve his strength, and finally disappeared suddenly.

And Typhon, Helios, Cronus and other criminals who were imprisoned in the abyss of hell were also released after the fire unicorn disappeared.

There is also a red fragment, the pattern on it is exactly the same as the totem above the corner of his eye, and that totem also appeared after the fire unicorn made him fuse with the underworld fire.In addition, the red shards were also left from Cronus. Since Fire Qilin can make him pass through from modern times to Greek mythology, he can also use the red shards to make him wear it back.

But what is the purpose of the fire unicorn?

Thinking of this, Hephaestus frowned.

Seeing this, Hades asked with concern: "Do you recall any small details that were overlooked?"

Through Hades' deep black eyes, Hephaestus clearly saw himself frowning in the other's eyes.He pursed his lips and made a certain decision in his heart. He just stared into Hades' eyes and said in a very serious tone: "Fire Qilin once asked me to come here as a counterattack system. Since then For a long time, it lived in my consciousness space, and then used the system as an excuse to let me complete the counterattack mission."

After saying this in one breath, Hephaestus felt inexplicably relieved.This time he almost revealed all the secrets he had been hiding all along.

"Counterattack mission?" Hades keenly captured these words.

"Well, the counterattack mission," Hephaestus told Hades the whole thing, the whole process of crossing, and every mission assigned to him by Fire Qilin without reservation.

He fixed his eyes on Hades, observing the changes in Hades' expression every time he said a word.Unexpected is also reasonable, Hades did not show surprise by his words.But when he mentioned that Fire Qilin asked him to marry Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, his brows furrowed for a moment.

"So you asked Zeus to marry Aphrodite just because Fire Qilin asked you to complete the counterattack mission?" Hades confirmed, there seemed to be some kind of emotion surging in his eyes.

Hephaestus nodded: "Well, because of the counterattack mission." After finishing speaking, he chuckled helplessly: "Now it seems that the mission is simply a trouble, I hope Aphrodite can calm down, Better to give up altogether."

Hades' eyes fell on Hephaestus's rosy lips parted from speaking.

In fact, it would be easy for Aphrodite to give up completely, he thought in his heart.

"Hades, what do you think is the purpose of the fire unicorn?" Hephaestus was so focused on the fire unicorn that he didn't notice the subtlety in Hades' eyes.

Looking away as if nothing had happened, Hades did not answer Hephaestus' question directly, but said about Aphrodite: "Have you ever thought that Fire Qilin asked you to marry Aphrodite? It's not just to make you counterattack into a perfect male god, but there are other reasons."

Hephaestus frowned.He didn't tell Hades that the Greek myths were originally handed down from history and recorded by human beings, so the other party didn't know that Fire Qilin asked him to marry Goddess of Beauty to keep the plot unchanged.Now that Hades said that, he didn't know how to answer.After all, this world is real, and Hades is even more real, not a character recorded in a book, but a god with feelings and thoughts.

Not knowing how to respond to Hades' guess, Hephaestus finally had to ask: "What other reasons do you think?"

Hades narrowed his eyes halfway, and a deep light flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said only four words: "Because of disgust."

"Dislike?" Hephaestus was a little puzzled. Fire Qilin hated Aphrodite? "Impossible." He shook his head, denying it almost immediately. When Fire Qilin lived in his consciousness space, Fire Qilin behaved completely normal to Aphrodite.

Hades said in a low voice: "The fire unicorn is impossible, but..." His eyes darkened: "The original fire god Hephaestus is possible."

"The original Vulcan..." Hephaestus opened his eyes wide in surprise. "You mean... the fire unicorn... is the original Vulcan..."

"Although this is just a guess," Hades said, "if Fire Qilin is the original Vulcan, it would make sense for you to marry Aphrodite. Because the ugly appearance is hated by God of Beauty, Fire Qilin wants to use You let Aphrodite also taste the taste of being hated."

Hephaestus shook his head: "I don't really believe that the other reason why Fire Qilin asked me to marry Aphrodite is such a boring reason..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, and suddenly thought of the idea of ​​not sacrificing exposure. The guy whose identity also humiliated Aphrodite... the original Hephaestus he guessed.

If it's Fire Qilin, the guy who humiliated Aphrodite with words...

If the fire unicorn is the original Vulcan...

"Then what is his purpose? The purpose of letting me come to this world." Although he guessed the identity of the fire unicorn, Hephaestus couldn't understand why the fire unicorn brought him to this world.

Hades' eyes fell on the red totem above the corner of Hephaestus' eyes: "Maybe we can find the answer through the red fragments."

Hephaestus nodded, and subconsciously touched the totem above the corner of his eye.It was as smooth as if it had melted into the depths of the skin, and the burning sensation from the beginning seemed to still be there.

Sighing softly, he was about to take out the red shard when he suddenly felt someone approaching in front of him.

Who is it?

He and Hades looked at each other, and then moved their eyes forward at the same time.

Accompanied by the slight sound of the wind, a beautiful woman in a long pink dress revealed her figure.Kalis, one of the three goddesses of grace, slowly flew to Hephaestus and the others with joy on his face.

"Dear Hephaestus, do you still remember me, on the day when the second-generation God King Cronus attacked the mountain, you were the most handsome brave man, and you rescued me from the nightmare." Caris had admiration in his eyes And admiration, raised a bright smile to Hephaestus.

It was a beautiful smile, but Hades only noticed the love for Hephaestus in Karis' eyes.He felt that he had to do something to make these "rivals" quit!
