Constellation Palace Mythology Sealed Land

"Did you hear anything?"

"Yeah, yes, the birds are really loud today, is it because Hela who loves them is not in Olympus?"

"Maybe... But having said that, the water temperature of this lake is really comfortable, no wonder you don't want to build your own temple in Olympus..."

Half of her body was soaked in the water, Athena put her hands on her chest, blinking her big sky blue eyes happily: "Then, you too, come and live with us!"

I was nodding below the surface... full of helplessness - because there was another god's arm propped on my head, and he was resting his chin on the arm, so when he nodded, I also started bobbing up and down head...

"I really think about it, but it's a pity that there are too many government affairs to be busy every day, and Hela will never tolerate me sleeping in this piece of water all night, right?" Putting the golden cup full of wine on the plate floating on the water, The elegant man folded grape vines and bundled up his long wet hair. I sat with my knees hugged under the water, watching the hair that shone like pure gold mixed with my long black hair, like a Across the darkest night sky the radiant Milky Way.

Raise your hand out of the water - Zeus, your bracelet is pulling on my hair...it hurts...

"What a troublesome child, Athena, help her cut off her hair later." Zeus was stroking my long hair as he said so.And I leaned beside him, raised my head and looked at the dazzlingly handsome God King on the water, with a smile in his eyes.

Zeus and the others have been chatting here at the Silver Lake for a long time, and the angels who came outside the forest sensed that something unusual had just happened, and they all walked away after seeing the relaxing scene here——Zeus seemed to be To hide the fact that Olympus was just entered by Hades.

"Hmm... It really is quite chaotic. After Hela left, her ears seemed to be even more disturbed. By the way, what are you going to do with the new life forms on the ground?"

With a relaxed smile, the goddess who almost had the same face as the handsome Zeus narrowed her eyes: "Please rest assured, I will solve the problem, and I will definitely not repeat the mistakes of Prometheus...just... please punish me severely Prometheus." The girl in front of me raised her face and said firmly: "Because of his own thoughts, human beings are too perfect, but such a perfect life exceeds the development of other creatures, and sooner or later it will cause the earth What is even more intolerable is that he would actually give fire to humans, which is something you have repeatedly emphasized is not allowed..."

"Athena, he has always been your friend, and... I have also heard about Artemis' feelings for him..."

"Ha...don't worry about me, my great god, your will is the rule of my action. Don't hesitate, announce it to the world, just say it's me—the goddess of wisdom, Athena, exposed Prometheus' disobedience to the great god That's why the Great God will punish him severely." The girl smiled, but tears began to glisten in her eyes.

When I turned around, Zeus paused obviously, as if he was hesitating to say something.

Why should Prometheus be punished... No, it's not just about those beings called human beings, is it?When he was in Hades, Thanadus mentioned when talking with Hades that after Zeus got the world, he started to take back all the rights... That is to say, his purpose is to completely control the world.Although Prometheus has always been on Zeus's side, sooner or later he will be cut off from Zeus' eyes.

If you want to have a reasonable argument to punish him, so as to take back all the rights of the second-generation gods, you really need this reason found by Athena to calm the doubts of the gods.

"It's a pity that Hypnos is an idealist. He helped Zeus and the others overthrow the old gods in order to build a perfect new world, but sooner or later he will know that it was a mistake for him to choose to join Leia's camp, because there is nothing for Leia. You can’t escape the fate of being abandoned”—Danadus said that at the time, and my Lord Hades just shook his head and smiled wryly.

Yes, there is also that matter - the matter that caused my body to feel pain due to poisoning, the gods are so afraid of the poison of the river of hatred, who brought the river back, and smeared it on the sharp blade, handed over What about Leah...

The newly emerging lives, those small creatures called "human beings", although their lives are as short as shooting stars, they are said to have faces like gods and wisdom comparable to Athena.

Zeus!Ordering humans to bring back the blade soaked in the river of hatred from the end of the dead land, and then handing it to Leia, should be the last thing Hypnos did for Olympus, right?

Because the divine power of Zeus remains in my body, Zeus can hear what I "speak".Gestures in the water, I continued to "tell" him what I guessed: Now, Leia doesn't need him anymore, he is like me, and you will get rid of him sooner or later, right?

Pushing away the wine glass floating on the water with his slender fingers, Zeus glanced at Athena and smiled wryly like Lord Hades: "Hope, although you have very accurate analysis ability, but... the last sentence said Relatively redundant..."

I looked at Zeus across the water, he had traces of his brothers in his brows and eyes, but he was more heroic, even when he showed such a relaxed expression, he had an indescribably domineering manner.

"I've never asked you...you, do you hate me?" He lifted my chin with one hand, while brushing my long hair on my forehead with the other, his eyes stayed there.

hatred?Why should I hate you?I was a little confused, so I shook my head - I don't really hate anyone yet.

"When Hardy mentions me, does he show a disgusted expression? Does he hate me very much?"

Continuing to shake his head, Zeus watched me dangling underwater again and again, and began to laugh: "In other words, he seldom mentioned my affairs, right?"

Nodding—that's right, Pluto would not take the initiative to mention his younger brother, and most of the time, his attitude was to ignore the existence of this younger brother.

"It can be seen that Pluto doesn't like to talk, it must be like this?" Athena took my hand and winked at me repeatedly.

Shaking my head - no, Pluto likes to tell jokes, and often jokes with his subordinates, but when I mentioned the days with Zeus, he desperately gave me food...

"Brother, he really hates me..." With a sigh, Zeus fell silent.And after careful observation of Zeus showing a lonely expression, Athena jumped down like a little leopard and pressed me to the bottom of the water fiercely, staring at me angrily with her big bright eyes: "I've been made dumb , you still can't learn well!"

Struggle, struggle—it's no secret that Pluto and Zeus hate each other, everyone knows it!

"Is that true? You think so too?"

Well?

The body was pulled out of the water, and as the silver water drops fell back into the lake, the graceful god king wiped the water off my face with his hands: "Hope, do you think brother really loves you? Nah , I will tell you a secret...the one who wants me to bring you from the center of the world to this world is Hades."

what!

Seeing my surprised expression, Zeus sneered: "That's right, he is the eldest son of the third generation of gods, and he kept such news. However, he also gave me the hope of gaining the world, and I , In fact, since then, I have firmly believed that he lacks fundamental extravagant hopes for the world. That man... just hopes to stay in a small space to create his own happiness. As long as he can get the peace he wants, everything will be fine. Can be content with the status quo - this is my brother's only happiness..."

Covering my mouth tightly, I was so surprised that I couldn't accept it—my lord, in fact, gave up on me from the very beginning!

The hidden ability to feel the will of the gods was reactivated. At that time... what happened the day before Zeus found me tens of thousands of years ago...

On the still barren land, the young man in white yelled at the young man in black, his voice trembling with surprise.

"Brother, why...why did you tell me this secret! If you can come to this world with hope and win the world, why did you tell me this secret?"

"Because of our hope...Zeus, what mother wants is not me, we children are just losers who let her down, a group of children who have not yet faced the battle, but are defined as failures..." The tyrannical wind blew away the black With long hair and closed eyes, the young man who was pale from being imprisoned for a long time showed a faint smile that read everything: "And you are what she wants, and only when you bring back hope, will she be able to accept everything." Be happy... If Zeus wins the world, mother will definitely smile sincerely, then maybe she will accept us..." In the black eyes that opened again, the light of stars reveals endless warmth : "The world means nothing to me, but it is different to you. You are the mother's choice, the only son who can fulfill her wish. Besides, I hate power and war...Zeus, you have to work hard, we will Help you!"

"Brother... I understand..."

The young man in white took a step back, then turned and left. His goal was Gaia's temple in the center of the world—there was a gem waiting to be opened and brought into this world that was about to be overturned by the turbulent battle.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the world I know began after that conversation.

Hades, in order to get his mother's approval, gave up his hope of winning the world, but his younger brother Zeus, carrying his mother's hope, went to fight his father.

And after the world was initially settled, he, they... were abandoned by that woman again.

"That's why he took you away from this place that didn't give him any warmth, and gave you your own body to grow up like a child... That's why," still narrating in a calm tone Looking at the former man, the disappointed expression at that moment was very similar to Hades: "My brother, in fact, he didn't want what he had experienced to happen to any god, so he stubbornly materialized you and made him The tenderness that was never obtained has been completely transferred to you."

do not talk!

I covered my ears, and the deep-seated sadness once again made me so painful that I couldn't hold on.Hades, what he hates is not Zeus, but the mother who repeatedly used him and then hurt him - Leia.Giving up the whole world, what you get is still the betrayal of the person you want to be close to the most.And the other child has always had everything he wanted, even though it wasn't his original intention.

However, in the future, Hades and Zeus will still confront each other. That day will come sooner or later, and the battle between the two gods pushed to the top by power is inevitable.The goddess who made them so never ceased to possess everything.

And, in that, Hades...what am I to you?Friends, relatives... or, the illusion of warmth in your dreams that you can't get.

"My boy" - he called me that over and over again, even though I was much, much older than him.

You...do you want to be pampered like this...my...my lord...

"Hope, it's not like that, Hades must really love you, he..."

"Athena, the gods have complained a lot about human beings' intervention," interrupted Athena's speech, put away his lonely smile, and Zeus, who became serious, regained the aura of the god king at this moment: "Their hunting and picking It has caused a new imbalance in the earth. If there is no solution, I am afraid that the jealousy of the gods will cause new disputes, so..."

The beautiful girl opened her eyes wide, she stood up from the water, and then immediately knelt down again: "Think twice about the great god, human beings have already gained some gods' favor, and they will offer sacrifices to us, and I am teaching The realization that they live in harmony with other creatures... just give me some more time and I'll bring them on track."

"Speaking of being loved by God... Those human daughters are indeed very cute, no less than those delicate and beautiful fairies in the forest. Then, I will give you a little more time, but if I am simple, I will destroy This spiritual species, I am afraid that other gods will have some criticisms, but I want to warn you, Leia has already thought of a decent reason to eliminate these lives, so you better be mentally prepared."

Athena's face turned pale in an instant, and she bit her lips tightly.

From that day on, Zeus never looked for me again, as if he appeared that day just to prevent me from leaving, and to tell me what happened tens of thousands of years ago.

And I was also depressed because of what Zeus said. In order to recover my divine power, I sank into the water of the Silver Lake and began to sleep for a long time.

After another period of time, Athena did not come back often.The things on the ground began to worry her, and the trivial things in the world made her unable to spend an afternoon in Olympus quietly. Every time she came to Olympus in a hurry to report on her duties, and took the I pulled it out, then gave me a quick kiss and ran off.I was often dragged out by her from the dream, and when I woke up, I could only see a golden figure going away, and feel the slight taste of wine on my lips.Then, I would continue to sink to the bottom and go back to sleep again.

I no longer go ashore, the deepest place at the bottom of the pool is where I sleep peacefully.It is the quietest place, there is no music, no sound, only endless thoughts come out from the minds of gods and people, and enter my silent world.

And the whole Olympus seems to have forgotten the existence of a goddess of hope.

Later, I learned the reason why other gods were indifferent to Athena, and the girl named Pallas.

After a while after Athena left the Silver Lake, they—other strange goddesses began to swim in this open-air bath. , as if experienced with my own eyes.I sank silently in the shadows below the pool, watching the creamy legs of the goddesses dangling above my head.

Many, many years ago, when I started to build the wall by the city gate, Athena on the ground killed her friend by mistake in a mutual joke.

A shot pierced the chest, blood splashed on Athena's golden armor, and the breath of life flew away from Pallas' body immediately, while her eyes were still looking behind Athena—behind little Athena, was Zeus had a nervous face, and the spear thrown by Pallas had been blocked by the shield held by Zeus.

Because of the sudden appearance of the king of the gods, the surprised Pallas did not avoid the gun thrown by Athena in time.

"Do you know what the first words she said when she calmed down?" The voices of the goddesses came from the surface of the water, as if they were far away in the sky: "After she stopped crying, she smiled and said to Lord Zeus: 'My God, thank you You have to protect me', and then left as if nothing happened." Then, there was a tut-tsk sound all around.

Thank you for... protecting me.

I think of the time when she considered me a friend, calling herself Pallas.

It turned out that she valued this rewarded life so much, and also persistently loved all life.Because of the guilt of taking the life of her friend, she realized that she was strong enough to alienate other gods, and other gods also respected her at a distance.

She wants to save those innocent lives on the ground, and she will have no hope for anything other than that?

Hope... what is that.

Is it me?

I'm just a button on the chest of God, and I can't give that child anything——Thinking like this, I entered the world of sleep again.

I don't know how many years after I fell asleep, a burst of clear singing woke me up.So, under the surface of the lake, I saw the perfect woman, surrounded by all the goddesses, made by the divine power of Zeus.
