After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

Cupid hissed lightly, and was about to reach out to grab the girl's flowing skirt, but he was already two or three feet away.

Looking at her pretty back, he suddenly smiled.

It seems that his Psyche is no longer the submissive little girl she used to be.

She is already a god now, truly standing at the same height as him.

Her light golden long hair is still so beautiful, people can't help but wonder what she looks like when she is covered with white gauze.

Psyche turned his head slightly, and blinked at him, "What are you still doing in a daze, come here."

……

Psyche returned to Olympus once again.

The Holy Mountain of Olympus is still shining with large expanses of golden mist, from eagles to weeds, all bathed in the sacred atmosphere, enjoying themselves freely.

Here there is no birth, old age, sickness, death, joys and sorrows, or even the passage of time.

This is an eternal paradise.

Standing on the steep mountaintop of Olympus again, Psyche couldn't help sighing.

I think that when she came here for the first time, she was still troubled by driving the clouds, and she couldn't bear the weightlessness and vomited Cupid all over her body.

Now, although it is not proficient, it can fly in the sky relatively smoothly.

in the temple.

After accepting the coronation of Zeus, Psyche grew a pair of butterfly wings from her back, which matched her title - Goddess of Soul.

The wedding between her and Cupid was supposed to take place immediately, but Psyche still had important matters to attend and had to go back to the city-state first.

Only when she sees that her cherished sister is fine, can she hold the wedding with peace of mind.

Cupid naturally understood her.

But this means that the two will be separated for a short period of time, and he is a little reluctant.

They are a young couple before marriage at the moment, they are the most affectionate, and they can't wait to be inseparable.

Separation for several days in a row is more difficult than years.

At the foot of the mountain, Cupid hugged Psyche reluctantly.

He took a deep breath, and his soft lips stuck to his lover's snow-white skin, leaving little traces.

"You need to get those things over with sooner."

Cupid murmured softly, with dewdrops of reluctance in his eyes, pointing to his heart, "...every day you are not here, I miss you like crazy."

Psyche's cheeks were slightly dizzy.

Her own heart was also throbbing, and finally she couldn't resist the temptation, she leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Don't be so obedient."

Cupid smiled quietly.

On the knuckles of his shaved fingers, there was an extra ring at some point, which was a pair with the one in Psyche's hand.

"As soon as you come back, we will have a wedding."

Psyche hummed with a low smile.

The bright sun of Olympus shone on their shoulders, and the two holding hands were bathed in the light of hope and holiness.

"Then I'm leaving?"

It was the first time she tried to fly with butterfly wings, her feet were a little unstable, and she couldn't fly fast.

But this is also good, it just allows her to look back at the beautiful figure of her lover in one step.

"Go honey, have a good trip."

Cupid's figure is getting smaller and smaller, his hands folded between his brows, "The glory of Olympus will be with you."

Psyche smiled sweetly, and finally flew into the sea of ​​clouds.

Just when each other was about to lose sight of each other, she heard him calling her Yiyi from behind——

"Don't forget, I will always be loyal to you."

This earnest oath is so clear, echoing clearly on the cool and holy mountain of Olympus.

This was supposed to be said at the wedding, but he said it in advance, so loudly.

Psyche sluggishly stopped, stopped on the clouds, and saw him still waving to her from a distance.

childish.

Still talking about her.

She sighed inwardly, but echoed in a low voice.

"Me too."

……

On the other side, after knocking down all the temples in the city, Chloe felt that her achievements were unprecedented, so she wanted to build her own temple regardless of the complaints of the people.

Although he is not a god, he firmly believes that he has achievements comparable to Olympus.

The people's faith should be him, not the illusory god.

Such self-willedness has already angered the gods. These days, major disasters and minor disasters have continued in the city-state.

The torrential rain lasted for more than half a month at a time, with lightning and thunder, killing many livestock and crops.

Even though it was the beginning of spring, the weather did not get warmer, and the soil was as hard as iron, as if covered with a layer of ice.

The seeds planted in the soil are all withered, diseased and dead, without taking root or sprouting.

The unseasonably cold weather is getting stronger every day, and the sky is as black as the bottom of a pot every day.

The people were displaced, and a plague from nowhere swept the entire city-state.

People in the city were uneasy, and many people said that the king's arrogant behavior had angered Zeus, and the end of the world was coming.Maybe it won't be long before Hades will come to collect people with sacks.

Under the attack of successive days of disasters, a good and prosperous city-state has become riddled with holes.

Wealthy people fled to the sea one after another, and some poor people could only stay in the city-state, struggling to resist the disease day after day.

——When Psyche returned to the city-state, he saw such a scene.

She wandered the streets and alleys in a daze for a long time, unbelievable.

If my parents were still there, I don't know how uncomfortable it would be to see the city-state that I worked so hard for most of my life destroyed in this way.

I thought Chloe was the only moth in the city-state, but now it seems that even if the king is expelled, rebuilding after the disaster is a very difficult task.

The most urgent task is to find my sister.

Today is different than in the past, Psyche does not have to worry about the soldiers patrolling the city, nor does he have to fight with them.

She can use divine power to teleport directly to any corner of the country, and no one can threaten her safety.

The question is, where are Agnes and the others?

The guards in the city gathered in groups to the southwest, and they waved their long whips high in their hands to drive away the skinny slaves.

It looked like he was forcibly captured.

Psyche's blood surged.

She found someone, and after asking, she found out that today was the day when the temple was completed, and the slaves were to be sacrificed to show off their arrogance... These poor people were captured by Chloe to sacrifice their lives.

Psyche followed the guards secretly to the southwest of the city-state.

Sure enough, a magnificent temple was newly built there, with a statue of Chloe in the middle.

Outside the temple, countless people who were forced to be selected as "sacrifices" were crying and kneeling in darkness.

There are piles of straw and kerosene all around.Once the ceremony begins, they will be engulfed in flames.

Chloe believes that in this way, he can become a real god.

Psyche clenched his fists.

There were too many people arrested, no fewer than a thousand, including the elderly and the weak, as well as those who were dying of the plague.

If she directly uses force to save people, of course she won't lose.

But there are many people with mixed eyes, and it is inevitable that innocent people will be hurt.

And Agnes hadn't been found yet.

If my sister had other plans, it would be troublesome for her to ruin the plan so hastily.

After thinking about it, Psyche still didn't make a move.

She remembered the little stone box Hades had given her.

...What is in there?

The appearance of the small stone box was strange, with a circle of red and black symbols engraved around it, which was ancient and absurd, and seemed to represent some kind of destructive power in the underworld.

Perhaps Hades, as the lord of death, had predicted the future in advance, so he gave her this stone box so that she could open it at a critical moment and make good use of it.

After going back and forth in the city several times, Psyche couldn't find any trace of his sister Agnes.

She couldn't help worrying that something happened to her sister, and she had no choice but to learn the trick that Cupid used before—using her mind to summon.

Of course, she couldn't summon Agnes with her mind, since Agnes was still a mortal, this trick might not work.

She can only use her mind to summon Zephyros, the god of the west wind, hoping that Zephyros will know the whereabouts of Agnes.

It took a long time before Psyche received a response.

Hearing a gust of westerly wind blowing, Zephyros suddenly picked it out, and suddenly saw Psyche, but he was very surprised.

"Psyche, yes, you, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you already have a godhead?"

Psyche smiled slightly, and eagerly asked about her sister's whereabouts without much greeting.

Zephyros patted his chest, "I've been here all the time, you don't have to worry. She discussed with me yesterday that she will mix with the slave group first, and when the sacrificial ceremony starts tomorrow, she will find an opportunity to assassinate Chloe. "

After hearing this, Psyche frowned slightly.

Is it a little risky to do so?

If anything went wrong in any link, Agnes would really be caught in flames.

Zephyrus smiled complacently, "Miss Psyche, you don't have to worry about that. I, the god of the west wind, has the final say on whether those torches are lit or extinguished? If the momentum is not right, I will immediately change the direction of the wind. Not a single spark can be ignited."

Psyche stuck out his tongue.

"Then please."

Zephyrus was about to boast a few more words when he caught a glimpse of what Psyche was holding.

The smile on his face froze immediately, staring at the small stone box in a daze.

That small box is cold and mysterious, as if it was fished out of hell, just looking at it can make people dizzy.

"Psyche..." Zephyrus' voice trembled, pointing at her hand, "This, is this something from Hades?"

His tone was extremely surprised, mixed with a bit of fear, it was unbelievable at all.

It seems to be asking: How do you have things from that ancestor?
