[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

Hephaestus put his hand to his mouth, coughed, and his eyes fell to the front. After a while, when Hades thought he would not speak, Hephaestus said faintly: "Wait for everything!" Maybe you can try it when it's over, of course, it's not the potential of a good husband, but the potential of a good wife."

Hearing Hephaestus' words, the last trace of coldness in Hades' eyes was covered with tenderness.

Hades' confession is not a confession, and Hephaestus' response is not a rejection.At this moment, in such an environment, it seemed appropriate and warm, and it even diluted the tense atmosphere a lot.

"Let's go," Hephaestus pointed to a cave in front of him, "Let's go and have a look inside first." After speaking, Hades took the lead, and Hades naturally raised his heels to follow.

During the time when Hephaestus and Hades went to the cave, on the other side, Mount Olympus, there was another scene...

The slender red-haired man was walking towards the temple of God King Zeus under the leadership of the maid.

The red-haired man wore a small golden mask, which just covered the upper corners of the man's eyes. Even so, it couldn't stop the man's delicate and handsome facial features.

The red-haired man, the original Vulcan, to be precise, should be the Fire Qilin.Not long after he followed the maid, he met Hermes who had just come out from Zeus.

When Hermes saw him, his eyes widened in surprise, and he asked very uncertainly: "Hephaestus, haven't you been away for a long time? Didn't you go to Bolesia Island?" After all, he He had just handed the note to Zeus, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Hephaestus who had already left. How could this not surprise him.

Huo Qilin slowly approached Hermes, leaned slightly, stopped his face five centimeters away from his face, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Well, because there are some things that must be done." When he said this, Huo Qilin The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a trace of evil charm and seduction in her black pupils.

A blush suddenly appeared on Hermes' face, and his heartbeat accelerated violently, but these were only for a moment.He quickly reacted, and subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the red-haired man in front of him, his delicate brows suddenly frowned slightly.

No, very wrong, Hephaestus would never show him that kind of look, although he had to admit that Hephaestus with that kind of look seemed fatally attractive.

"What's the matter, Hermes?" Huo Qilin spread his hands, knowingly asked.He wasn't worried that his identity would be seen through by the cunning god in front of him, after all, his current godhead was the same as that of Hephaestus.The godhead is unique, and the godheads are all the same. Even Zeus cannot prove that he is not Hephaestus.So it is even more impossible for him to act like Hephaestus.

The red-haired man in front of him, although wearing a mask at the corner of his eyes, showed exactly the same face as Hephaestus.Hermes became more and more confused. Emotionally, he felt that the man in front of him was not Hephaestus. Intellectually, he felt that he was the same as Hephaestus from the other party's godhead.

Seeing Hermes' doubts in his eyes, the corner of Fire Qilin's mouth slightly curled up: "Dear Hermes, why don't you speak, it really bothers me."

Hermes pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "You said you still have something important to do, what is it?" Pausing for a while, observing the other party's face, he saw that he was not asked about personal matters. After being displeased, he said again: "That matter has something to do with His Majesty the God King?"

"Of course." Huo Qilin smiled slightly, but his eyes were a little dark: "What His Majesty the God King asked for is naturally very important."

Hearing what Huo Qilin said, Hermes frowned even tighter, if he was not mistaken.What God King Zeus asked Hephaestus to do was to use his hands to punish Prometheus who stole the fire and gave it to humans.However, it was obvious that Hephaestus refused at the time, so why did he deliberately put aside the abduction of Karis and Hera for this matter now?

The more Hermes thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He stroked his chin and carefully examined the red-haired man in front of him.The sharp eyes scanned Huo Qilin back and forth, as if trying to see through him.

Huo Qilin didn't care about Hermes' suspicious gaze, and allowed him to look at him very generously and calmly.

The other party's cooperation so calmly made it difficult for Hermes to look at him again. He looked away and coughed in disguise.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Huo Qilin's mouth became even more pleasant, but when he took a closer look, his eyes were icy cold, without the slightest hint of a smile. "If dear Hermes is fine, I will go to His Majesty the God King."

Hermes tightly closed his lips and shook his head sullenly.

The fire unicorn bypassed Hermes directly and walked towards the palace of the king of gods, followed by the maid in the background.

Hermes turned around, looking at the red-haired satisfied back with complicated eyes.He could only think that this man was indeed Vulcan, but not the Hephaestus he knew.

He felt a strong sense of resignation from the other party, although he couldn't find the reason now.After all, for some things, once the seeds of doubt are planted, the truth is not far from being discovered.

Quickly restraining his mind, after standing there for a while, Hermes, who had just come out of the Palace of the God King, turned back.

When he entered the Palace of the King of God again, he happened to see His Majesty the King of God sitting on the throne and looking at Hephaestus standing below.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the atmosphere at this time was very tense and weird, and there seemed to be storms and undercurrents flashing in the eyes of the two people who were looking at each other.

He raised his head slightly to observe Zeus's expression, and found that His Majesty the God King, who used to be very leisurely and lazy, now has a seriousness and earnestness rarely seen in his brows.He turned his gaze to Hephaestus, who brought him a strong sense of sympathy, and thoughts began to spin in his mind.

Perhaps, His Majesty the God King also discovered the difference in this Hephaestus?

Hermes fixed his eyes on the red-haired man in the center of the temple, not letting go of any tiny details.

As if not aware of the tense atmosphere in the air, Huo Qilin had a smile on his face, smiling very happily: "Your Majesty the God King, aren't you going to punish Prometheus? I'm just here to help you."

Zeus stared straight at the fire unicorn, the deepness and coldness in his eyes flashed by, his lips parted slightly, and his tone showed a hint of danger: "You don't seem to be my Hephaestus."

Hearing this, Huo Qilin lowered his eyes and laughed loudly as if hearing some joke, "Hephaestus was never yours." He said the word "yours" with particular emphasis.

Because of the downcast eyes of the fire unicorn, Zeus sitting above did not see the strong sarcasm in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the other party would burst into laughter suddenly, and after hearing the other party's words, Zeus was even more unhappy.What the guy standing below said undoubtedly hit his sore spot. As the king of gods, he failed one after another when facing Hephaestus.It's one thing to understand it, but another to tell it from other people.

"You are not Hephaestus, who are you?" Zeus pointed out mercilessly this time.

Huo Qilin shrugged: "Your Majesty, you can feel my godhead, so you can't argue that I'm not Hephaestus."

Zeus frowned slightly and stopped talking.In fact, it was only his own feeling that the red-haired man was not Hephaestus.

The fire unicorn's smile became brighter and brighter, and Zeus was powerless to refute because of the similarity of godhead.

He was Hephaestus, but that was so long ago that he almost forgot how lame and ugly he once was...

He used to be the Vulcan of Mount Olympus, ugly but honest and loyal.It is the god of fire and craftsmen that has been portrayed and recorded in the long history of human beings that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But now, he is no longer Hephaestus. The real Hephaestus has changed hands since he brought Chu Ze to this world.

Chu Ze is the real Hephaestus, and he, Huo Qilin, just stole his appearance and his identity.

But so what?

Huo Qilin's eyes froze, he had something to do.

He raised his eyebrows again, looked at the king of the gods on the throne above, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will make the most beautiful woman out of clay, and then give her to human beings, so that human minds will be confused .”

If it was in the past, Zeus would naturally not refuse when he heard this sentence, but now he said with great disapproval: "Leave this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to get Hera and Karis back."

As if he knew that Zeus would say that, Huo Qilin said unhurriedly: "The note left by Helios should be with you now, in fact..." He stopped deliberately.

"Actually what?" Zeus asked.

"Actually, he left another note."

After Huo Qilin finished speaking, he suddenly took out another note, which surprised both Hermes and Zeus.

"Bring it up." Zeus unconsciously took a commanding tone.

Fire Qilin didn't care either, and stepped forward to hand the note to Zeus.

Looking at Zeus who looked down at the note in his hand, Fire Qilin casually said the contents of the note: "Before Hephaestus goes to the island of Bellesia, he must create the most beautiful woman to punish mankind."

From the words on the note, Zeus felt the breath left by the second generation sun god Helios.Even so, he doubted its veracity.After a moment of silence, he waved to the fire unicorn below: "Go to the banquet hall and wait, I will ask the gods of Mount Olympus to go there to witness you make the most beautiful woman."

When he said that, it was equivalent to agreeing with Huo Qilin's behavior.

Hearing what he wanted to hear, the corner of Huo Qilin's mouth slightly raised: "Okay, Your Majesty the God King."

Watching his leaving back, Zeus' eyes were so deep that no one could see his emotions. It was not until he walked out of the temple that Zeus said quietly: "Hermes, what do you think?"

Hermes looked serious: "He is not Hephaestus." Maybe he is the red-haired man Poseidon said.

Zeus smiled suddenly, his eyes were cold and dangerous: "He should be the guy who was seen by Mother Rhea, who robbed Hera and Karis together with Helios. Dare to pretend to be Hephaestus, and let his godhead They are all the same as Hephaestus, so they have some abilities."

Hearing what Zeus said, Hermes was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, since you know that this may be a conspiracy by that guy, why do you agree to it?"

Zeus squinted his eyes halfway, and said meaningfully: "Why should I refuse a chance to find out his purpose?"
