[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

When Fire Qilin was kneading Pandora out of clay, on the other side, Hephaestus and Hades had already entered the cave.

It is said to be a cave, but it actually looks more like a tunnel, and it is still a very long tunnel. At least it has been a while since Hephaestus and the others went in and they have not seen the end.

In the empty cave, there were only the footsteps of Hephaestus and Hades, the environment was dim, and the strange thing was that the road could still be vaguely seen.I don't know how long it will take, but Hephaestus has a strong intuition that Helios should be on the other side of the cave.This intuition came inexplicably, as if someone was pulling him.

After walking for a while, a faint light finally shone into the cave. Looking at the white light gradually revealed in front of them, Hephaestus and Hades looked at each other and speeded up.

Just as Hephaestus said he guessed, the moment he and Hades stepped out of the cave, they saw Helios standing not far from the exit.

Helios looked at the two gods coming out of the cave, and raised the corners of his mouth happily. He spread his hands and said in a high tone: "What a coincidence, we met again." He didn't wait for Hephaestus to finish speaking. Opening his mouth, he continued: "Welcome dear Hephaestus and Pluto to come here."

Hephaestus said coldly: "There is no point in hiding."

"That's right..." Helios nodded with a smile: "I'm here this time, I won't leave."

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows slightly, and said casually: "I'm really curious about what benefits the fire unicorn has given you."

Hearing the name of the fire unicorn, the smile on Helios' face disappeared immediately, but soon returned to a smiling face.

Seeing the change in his expression, Hephaestus was almost certain that the fire unicorn was the original Vulcan.After thinking about it, he continued: "You should be able to escape from the abyss because of the help of the fire unicorn. Now you are here because of the order of the fire unicorn?" He deliberately emphasized the word "order", and sure enough, Helios The smile on his face was gone.

"Dear Hephaestus, you came here just to ask me these things? Aren't you going to ask about the whereabouts of Hera and Karis?" Helios looked at Hephaestus with a hint of temptation in his tone .

Hephaestus accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stopped beating around the bush: "Where are they?"

Helios twitched his mouth, raised his right hand, and pointed to another cave behind: "You can see them in the past, of course you can only go there alone."

Hephaestus looked at Hades: "You look at Helios here, and I will go by myself." After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze back to Helios, half-closed his eyes, and said in his tone Thick warning: "You'd better not play tricks."

Helios shrugged, and said quite innocently: "You have let Hades look at me, what tricks can I play?"

"Be careful," Hades said softly.

Hephaestus nodded and walked to the second tunnel.Knowing that Helios might be stalling for time, he could only speed up as much as possible.

Probably because the cave was shorter this time, Hephaestus soon saw the end this time.After he got out of the cave, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in the air, so subtle that it was almost negligible, but it was still felt by Hephaestus.

He looked up to the front, and found that there was a cliff in front of him, and there was a huge tree growing beside the cliff, and Hera and Karis were being tied up with ropes.The other end of the rope was tightly tied to the trunk of the tree, and their bodies were being dropped above the cliff, and they were still in a coma at this time.

Obviously they belonged to the ground after coming down from the weeds, but he didn't expect there to be a cliff here. Hephaestus suppressed the surprise in his heart, and approached Hera and Karis while tentatively calling their names.

After shouting a few times, Hephaestus frowned when he saw that Hera and Karis showed no sign of waking up.Let’s not talk about Karis, at least Hera is the queen, and her strength is still very good, but she has not woken up until now, what is going on?

Just as he was thinking, there were slight fluctuations in the air when he just walked out of the cave, and these fluctuations seemed to be generating some kind of magnetic field.Hephaestus' eyes froze, and he clearly felt that his physical strength was slowly weakening, but in the blink of an eye, his physical strength was completely restricted by this kind of thing similar to a magnetic field.

Hephaestus frowned and his expression became more and more serious. He tried to condense the flames, but found that he couldn't use his supernatural power at all.

Hold!Hephaestus couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart.He finally knew why Hera and Karis hadn't woken up until now.The something similar to the magnetic field generated here will limit the divine power of the gods, and will slowly absorb the divine power of the gods according to the passage of time.

This also means that if he does not rescue Hera and Karis as soon as possible, then his divine power will be slowly absorbed, and finally become less and less, until he is in a coma.

The situation is now quite unfavorable to him.

Hephaestus looked at Hera and Kalis who had fallen on the tree trunk ahead, and rubbed his temples a little annoyed.Force yourself to calm down and think about countermeasures.

Although he knew that Fire Qilin would not be so smooth and asked him to rescue Karis and the others, he never thought that the other party would let him make a choice in this way.

Yes, a choice is made.

Because Hera and Karis fell on both sides of the trunk respectively, but they used the same rope.This is similar to the modern principle of sliding. If he rescues Karis first, then Hera will definitely fall directly to the cliff below because the other end loses its center of gravity.Conversely, if he saves Hera first, Karis will be in the same situation.If it wasn't for the restriction of divine power, he should be able to save the two of them easily now.but…

There are exceptions to everything...

Hephaestus walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. There was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the naked eye could not guess how deep the cliff was.

After calming down his emotions again, Hephaestus looked at Hera, and then turned his gaze to Karis, although he couldn't understand why Fire Qilin made him make such a choice.

However, Hephaestus suddenly smiled.Isn't this choice obvious?

Both Karis and Hera are like strangers to him. Under such a premise, Karis knows where the red fragments are, so he naturally saves Karis.As for Hera, since Huo Qilin set up the trap, he had an intuition that Huo Qilin would not let Hera have an accident, no matter how great the hatred, it was his mother after all.

Thinking of this, Hephaestus' eyes froze, whether he could save Hera and Karis at the same time, just look at it!

With a high degree of concentration, Hephaestus slammed out the long whip, and the moment the whip wrapped around the rope above Karis, the whip quickly emerged from the needle point.The rope was torn off in the blink of an eye, and then the direction of the whip turned, entangled Karis the moment the needle tip retracted.Hephaestus pulled hard and threw Karis directly onto the cliff.In the next second, Hephaestus threw the long whip out again while leaning forward, and the whip quickly extended downward to wrap around Hera who continued to fall.

Feeling the weight of the whip, Hephaestus heaved a sigh of relief, then he clenched his teeth again and held the long whip tightly in his hand, waiting for it to slowly shorten.It wasn't until Hera's body was about one meter closer to the edge of the cliff that he pulled her up with force.

Looking at Hera and Karis on the cliff, Hephaestus's heart that had been hanging was finally relaxed.I looked up at the sky, because it wasn't the real sky, so I couldn't tell what time it was.

Sure enough, Huo Qilin's purpose was to delay time, he looked at Karis on the ground, and sighed softly.

I don't know if Huo Qilin has learned about the trace of the red shard from her.In fact, at this time, looking at Karis, he thought of a question instead.That is the appearance of Fire Qilin, since it is exactly the same as him, why not just use his identity to let Karis tell where the red shard is?Instead, it took a lot of trouble to rob Karis and Hera?This can be said to have alarmed the entire Mount Olympus.

Putting these questions aside for the time being, Hephaestus bent down one by one, lifted Hera and Karis up, and put their arms around his neck.Taking a deep breath, Hephaestus helped the two of them back to the cave.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Hephaestus suddenly felt that he also had the potential to be a masculine man.The combined weight of Karis and Hera is as strong as an adult man.

After Hephaestus saw the end of the cave, it took several times longer than when he came.As he got farther and farther away from the cliff, Hephaestus clearly felt that his restricted divine power was slowly being lifted.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, Hades hurried to him.Hephaestus glanced at him, and directly gave Hera to Hades.

Hades didn't speak, and took it naturally, sharing part of the weight for Hephaestus.

Helios clapped his hands and applauded: "Congratulations to my dear Hephaestus for successfully rescuing Hera and Karis. It's a touching scene."

Hephaestus gave him a sideways look. "Are you going to prevent us from bringing back Kalis and Hera now?"
