[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

Hephaestus was taken aback, and in this oppressive atmosphere, he was thinking about whether to turn around calmly or run away quickly.The sense of oppression of the person behind him was too strong, and his intuition told him that the current self was not the opponent of the opponent.

While he was thinking, the sound of footsteps behind him became more and more clear. As the other party approached, he seemed to hear the sad and angry wailing of the undead in the hellfire.

Step by step…

Casually reveals the calmness of a strong man.

Underworld, undead, dark.

Almost instantly, Hephaestus had already guessed the other party's identity, the sense of oppression from hell, who else but Hades the Hades?

So why is he so unlucky, stealing a fire and being bumped into by Pluto, what kind of trouble is this scene of stealing and being caught? Hey!

Can't let Pluto see his appearance!This idea suddenly came to mind, Hephaestus was about to escape, when a gust of wind blew by, and a strange breath appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty Pluto, the abyss Tartarus trembled again." Thanatos, the god of death, knelt on the ground with one foot, and continued respectfully: "Hypnos has already gone to appease the troubled soul."

Hades looked at the back of Hephaestus, his eyes stayed on his long fiery red hair for a moment, and then moved to Thanatos: "Go back to the underworld."

Thanatos glanced at Hephaestus, who was facing away from them, and asked, "Then what does His Majesty Hades plan to do?"

Hephaestus' body tensed for a moment.

Hades noticed his change, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry about it."

As soon as the voice fell, the two figures had disappeared in place.

Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around until he could no longer feel the breath behind him. The sense of oppression brought by Hades made him more determined to become stronger. I have to say that his performance just now Really bad.

"You are still far from a perfect male god." Huo Qilin said suddenly at this moment.

As if Hephaestus hadn't heard it, he stared at the dense forest in front of him with scorching eyes, where the death breath of Pluto's visit seemed to still remain.

He is going to get stronger.

He wants to be a person who brings oppression to others, not an ant who is oppressed and prays for a miracle to happen.

The weakness of the body is the weakness of the mind.

Absolutely, absolutely not allowed!

Feeling the strong determination of Hephaestus, Huo Qilin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since you want to become stronger so much, hurry up and completely integrate the dark fire you attracted before with your godhead."

"Well," Hephaestus clenched his fists.

On the other side, Mount Olympus.

Zeus was sitting on the throne, drinking wine in every possible way. Recently, Hera was heavily guarded, so he had no time to go out to have a private meeting with a beautiful woman, probably because he had angered him when he went to Hephaestus to have an affair with a girl. A jealous wife.

Thinking of Hephaestus, Zeus got a little excited, swung his wine glass slightly, took a sip, looked at Hermes standing below, and said, "Does it take so long to say goodbye? Hey!" Hermes, go and fetch Hephaestus."

The King of the Sky is strong enough to be self-willed, when he wants to see someone, never expect him to understand what the person he sees is doing, whether it is convenient or not.Hermes restrained his mind and left the temple. In fact, in his heart, he didn't really want to see Hephaestus.

Thinking of him asking the God King to marry the Goddess of Beauty, Hermes felt a little awkward in his heart.He seriously doubts that guy's taste!Aphrodite is beautiful, but her character is too bad.He always felt that Hephaestus was not a person who only looked at appearances, so why he married the Goddess of Beauty puzzled him.After all, he did not see the love for Aphrodite in Hephaestus' eyes.

However, he really couldn't figure out the reason.

The clever oracle who always peeked at other people's secrets began to question his own wisdom for the first time.

On the other side, at the same moment...

Hephaestus is merging the underworld fire with the help of the fire unicorn.

When the last dark red flame was surrounded by bright red flames, the underworld fire had been completely fused by Hephaestus, and he seemed to feel the flame flowing through his blood vessels through his whole body.

And at this moment, all the blazing flames poured into his forehead, and the burning pain made him groan. Hephaestus covered his forehead, enduring the tearing sensation like a sharp knife piercing the skin.

"Fire Qilin! Uh... what's going on here... Uh..." He panted heavily.

Huo Qilin's voice was also anxious: "We must survive!"

Hephaestus could no longer hear the fire unicorn's voice, and his consciousness was in a raging fire. These flames that he had easily controlled in the past were now attacking his skin like ferocious beasts.

Hot, scorching and rolling.

He seemed to smell the burnt smell of his skin, which was strong and mixed with a trace of blood.

Consciousness began to slacken, and just when he thought he was going to be unable to hold on, the pain suddenly disappeared, and the flame was also extinguished in an instant.

If anyone passed by at this time, he would be surprised to find that the face of the man with long fiery red hair had changed subtly.The facial features that could only be regarded as correct at first became handsome, and a red totem appeared above the corner of the left eye, and the strange flame pattern was faintly visible under the cover of the hair, which made the handsome face of the man reveal a different kind of sexy and flirtatious.

When Hephaestus opened his eyes, it was still the same face, handsome and no longer ordinary. This change was very subtle, no one would doubt it, everything was natural.

Hephaestus straightened his drooping hair, revealing the bright red totem above the corners of his eyes. His dark eyes looked at the sky, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, pulling out a confident smile.

No one can stand at the top from the beginning, he has to make himself strong, strong enough...to be able to calmly deal with everything he encounters.

The improvement in strength made Hephaestus feel so happy that after he met Apollo who was returning to Mount Olympus after the day tour, he built a sun chariot for him.

Take out the magic axe, beat and smelt, decorate the carriage, and call it a day, the whole action is done in one go.

But in the blink of an eye, an exquisite and gorgeous chariot appeared in front of Apollo, and it wasn't until Hephaestus turned around to leave that the sun god, who had regained his senses, called him hastily.

"Who are you?" Apollo asked a few steps forward, his eyes filled with amazement: "You built such a beautiful chariot, and your superb smelting technology is unmatched by any god."

Hephaestus did not turn around, glanced at a hill on the right as if unintentionally, and deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be very moved, and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, you have to believe, when you drive God The car is passing by the sky above, the sun is shining through the mottled tree shadows, the night cannot hide the brilliance of the day, I just want to do my best to let you move on with the light."

Regardless of whether Apollo listened to it or not, Hephaestus finished speaking the words in a very pretentious manner, waved his hands and turned to leave, leaving only the sun god who was fooled for a moment.

And this little episode between Hephaestus and Apollo happened to be seen by Hermes who came to look for Hephaestus. As the god of peeping, he could easily see that in the eyes of other gods, Hidden things.

In the past, he was interested in peeking at other people's secrets, but now he felt a little tight in his chest.Ignore the slight unnaturalness in your heart.Hermes quietly followed Hephaestus, very curious to see what Hephaestus would do next.

"Aren't you coming out yet?" Hephaestus chuckled, he had already felt it since Hermes appeared.

Hearing Hephaestus's laughter, Hermes froze, walked out in embarrassment, walked to his side slowly, and pretended to cover up: "What a coincidence, I also walked this way .”

Hephaestus put his arms around his shoulders and joked, "Well, it's really a coincidence, you're not following me, are you?"

"No," Hermes responded quickly: "It just happened to happen. I didn't want to disturb you."

Hephaestus chuckled suddenly: "So you actually ran into the hill?" Otherwise, why hide behind the hill.Hephaestus did not say the second half of the sentence.

Looking at Hephaestus' smile, why did Hermes feel that the totem in the corner of this guy's eye made him smile more and more evilly?

Because each god has corresponding characteristics that express their divine power, Hermes didn't feel weird about the red totem above the corner of Hephaestus' eyes, and only thought that he was a manifestation of Hephaestus' continuous improvement in strength. come out features.

Hephaestus glanced at Hermes, then turned his gaze forward, and said, "Let's go back to Mount Olympus together." After speaking, he took the lead.

After Hermes was silent for half a second, he also raised his heel to follow.It's just that along the way, his eyes glanced at Hephaestus beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Do you think I'm much more handsome than before?" Hephaestus touched his face and asked expectantly.

"No, you think too much."

"..."

Soon they came to Mount Olympus. Originally, they were going to see Zeus, but when they arrived at the temple, they were told by the waiter that their great god king was having a love exchange with the queen of heaven at this time.

It is said that Zeus abducted Hera on the bed and fought for 300 years before chasing the proud goddess. As a man, Hephaestus expressed his curiosity about Zeus’s staying power. I really want to hear the corner of Zeus.It's just that when he told Hermes about this idea, the other party looked at him from head to toe with contempt, and finally let out a cold snort and left.

No one listened to the corner with him, so Hephaestus had no choice but to rest. Zeus was considered considerate, at least he remembered to ask the waiter to prepare a place for him before exchanging feelings with the Queen of Heaven.

In fact, gods do not need to sleep, but after living as a human being for decades, Hephaestus still kept the habit of sleeping at night and waking up during the day.

So the next day Hephaestus woke up early in the morning, first built a gorgeous palace for himself, and then started to help the gods build a magnificent palace. He said he was helping the gods, but in fact it was just to complete what the fire unicorn told him. Task.

Selectively ignoring the palace of the king of the gods, Hephaestus listened to the groans coming from inside, and walked by as if nothing had happened.

The first place he went was the palace of Ares, the god of war.
