I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

"Hey, the position of the main god has increased by one, but it happens to be Hermes again. What should we do in the future?"

As Hermes was taken away by Zeus and lost the core protagonist, this big drama that was barely pulled out naturally couldn't continue to sing.

After the verbal battle with Hera and the others, the goddess of wisdom returned to the temple alone. Athena looked at the carved mirror in front of her and sighed.

At present, the main god on Mount Olympus is almost consummated.

Hera, the god of marriage, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, Hestia, the goddess of kitchen, Apollo, the god of light, Artemis, the goddess of nature, Ares, the god of war, Athena, the god of wisdom, plus just There are already nine Hermes, the god of commerce, who can be named as the main god.

Now the god of fire, Hephaestus, has returned, relying on the opponent's powerful casting skills, coupled with Hermes speaking to Zeus, and Hera's initiative to subdue...

It can also be said that the god of fire can become the main god in public, which can also be said to be a matter of course.

But under the light of Athena's wisdom, the goddess who inherited the wisdom of her own mother discovered some unusual clues.

One day in the future, the brilliance of Hestia, the goddess of the kitchen, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, will collide.

Both of these two are gods in charge of flames. Because of the natural overlapping of domains, in order to establish each other's sole authority, conflicts will inevitably break out in the future.

Either Hestia absorbed the opponent's flame, or Hephaestus defeated the opponent and became the unique God of Fire.

It is precisely because she saw the clues in advance that Athena deliberately confronted Apollo with the needlepoint in the square earlier, and at the same time wanted to arouse Hestia's vigilance and see what the goddess would do.

But Hestia's generosity was obviously beyond the expectations of Athena and Apollo, so that now after returning to the temple, the goddess of wisdom had to reevaluate her plan.

"According to His Royal Highness Hestia's temperament... I am afraid that the possibility of voluntarily abdicating will be a little higher?"

Frowning, while recalling Hestia's personality, Athena also began to analyze the various possible directions of the whole matter with the help of her own wisdom.

After Athena left voluntarily, the rest of the gods did not stay long.

Moreover, those little gods are not good at commenting on this matter, and considering their interests, the two main gods turned out, the first to be offended must be those powerful beings who seemed to have the honor of the main god.

Therefore, apart from waving the flag and shouting behind their bosses, they really seem to be of no use.

"Really, I can't believe it! Zeus actually promoted that little... as the main god!"

Compared with Athena's silence, in the Temple of Nature not far from her Temple of Wisdom, Artemis lost her temper in a completely different way.

"Okay, let me tell you why are you so excited?"

Taking a few steps to the side to avoid being hit by the vase, Apollo looked at the hysterical sister in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, "Do you really hate that child so much?"

After saying this, the frown deepened, and Apollo's tone became a little impatient, "In any case, Hermes is also the son of God the Father, and now he has been appointed by Zeus as the main god, and has been granted If you have violated the authority of the Lord God, this means that this matter is irreversible. For this reason, you actually openly talk back to him, Al, are you a little too willful?"

In fact, to be honest, he really didn't understand his sister's behavior.

Why is it that every time something related to Hermes comes up, the other party's reaction is like a fighting cock preparing for a battle?

When these two meet, there is bound to be a quarrel.

It's just that it's not Hermes who provokes troubles in most cases, but his sister Artemis——

In all fairness, Apollo himself feels pretty good about Hermes.

However, it may be the difference between male gods and goddesses in their perception of things. Apollo thought it was good, but he couldn't use the same reason to convince his sister.

On the contrary, because of Apollo's good words at the beginning, Artemis' anger was aroused in the end.

During those few days, the forest god troubled Hermes almost every day.

In the end, if it wasn't for almost angering Zeus, it would probably take decades for Hermes to calm down.

"I don't know! Get the hell out of here, don't mention that name again—"

Faced with Apollo's accusation, the goddess of nature raised her hand and smashed a vase in the past.

After finishing speaking, Artemis let out a cold snort, and couldn't help but drive his elder brother out.

……

"Although the level of divine power has been raised, it's all because I won the position of main god for nothing."

Because at present the Temple of Commerce and the Temple of Flame still have to wait for Hephaestus to build, after accepting the reward, Hermes also immediately returned to his small temple.

After returning to the temple, Hermes dismissed all the attendants directly, and began to absorb the power conveyed to him by the position of the main god alone in the bedroom.

No wonder everyone wants to be the main god. In addition to having the glory and glory second only to the god king, the most important thing is that all the main gods recognized by Olympus will be blessed by the power of the dark.

This is the care of the origin of the world, and it is also the protection of the whole world for the Lord God.

The Olympus god system is currently the only orthodox god system recognized by heaven and earth.

Because of this, all the gods who are in the body of the Olympian god will receive the focus of the law in the dark.

The twelve main gods of the Holy Mountain are the leaders of the Olympus pantheon, and they are also the gods with the highest status on Mount Olympus, except for the god king Zeus.

Therefore, even Hermes, whose divine power had already been improved due to the acquisition of the commercial godhead, was instantly promoted to the level of the main god after he obtained the position of the main god.

Even among the powerhouses of the same level, the current strength of Hermes as the main god is a bit watery, but he can't hold back that he can suppress many gods under him.

There seems to be only one level of difference between the high-level divine power and the main divine power, but the difference is really too huge.

"Although Zeus gave me the godhead of business, it is still difficult to construct a complete system with this priesthood alone..."

Absorbing power, Hermes is also thinking about his own path.

At present, there are a total of two priesthoods that can be combined with the commercial godhead on him and resonate, namely trading and animal husbandry.

Among them, the priesthood of trading was gathered by Hermes himself with his credibility, and animal husbandry was derived after he obtained the godhead of business.

This is not surprising, because the title of the God of Animal Husbandry originally belonged to him.

At present, in the depths of Hermes' sea of ​​consciousness, a godhead exuding golden light stands there. This is the commercial godhead bestowed by Zeus, and it is also the core main godhead that Hermes is currently given the position of the main god.

Under the commercial godhead, the light golden trading godhead and the grass green animal husbandry godhead slowly circulate around the central body.

However, as Hermes gradually absorbed more power, a light cluster gradually appeared between the two.

Obviously, this is a new force that is being bred.

But Hermes is still hesitating, and has not decided whether to formally stimulate this power.

The core of business is economy, and economic development is inseparable from transactions, and the most primitive form of transactions is barter.

So it can be said that a delicate cycle has been formed among the three, but now a new force suddenly appears in it.

Faced with this change, even Hermes himself is not sure whether it is good or bad.

The addition of new forces may bring new vitality and is a new force, but it may also break the original stable structure and cause chaos.

"Forget it, now is the time when the source of heaven and earth favors me the most. If I don't take advantage of this time to increase my strength in one fell swoop, how will my business path continue?"

Sitting on the throne, staring at his eyes and meditating for a long time, Hermes suddenly remembered that he still had a part of his sealed vitality that had not been activated.

That was the power left by the former God of Life, Chris, but it didn't fit with the humanistic path he was currently taking, so Hermes had already given up using it for himself the moment he became the main god.

Turning this power into an incarnation, or a "child" who inherits part of his own origin, is a safer choice than letting him absorb it himself, and can maximize his benefits.

In view of the example of Thanadus, Hermes felt that it was not unacceptable to imitate the mother of the night and conceive a child alone at a critical moment.

With a plan in mind, Hermes immediately increased his absorption of the original power.

The golden melody continuously flowed into the temple, and after being deliberately guided by Hermes and transformed into a commercial godhead, it was injected into the hazy light group.

The golden light group enlarged and shrunk for a while, as if some mysterious changes were going on.

And when this process was repeated thousands of times, when the huge energy accumulated to a certain limit value, with a roar, the golden light group suddenly exploded, and what appeared in Hermes' sea of ​​consciousness was a A godhead shining with silver light.

steal--

Feeling the power brought to him by this priesthood, Hermes suddenly discovered that the reserved divine power that he had originally hoarded was being swallowed at a terrifying speed.

He didn't need to think about it, but it was the power that he had just condensed that did all of this.

According to ancient legends, Hermes is also considered the god of theft and the natural protector of thieves. Regarding this point, it has been seen from the fact that he stole Apollo's divine bull when he was born. The first clues.

"This power seems to have the aura of swallowing all things... But, why did it come from Mount Olympus?"

The moment Hermes condensed to steal the godhead, Tartarus, who was at the lowest end of the world, opened his eyes.

The light gray eyes are very deep, and what is revealed in them is the inaccessibility of the abyss.

Even though it is far away from Olympus, even this distance is not an ordinary distance, but a dimension of space—but as a primitive god, Tartarus just glanced upwards, and his gaze passed through layers of Obstacles, and finally cast to the position of Hermes.

"Have you been discovered? That's really bad."

In the eternal night, the goddess who was taking a nap with her eyes closed seemed to feel something unpleasant, she frowned slightly, then stretched out her plain hand and pointed lightly.

The divine power gathered into a thin layer of veil. Although it looked as soft as a cloud, it revealed a peaceful night in it.

Dark night is a time for people to rest.

With the light finger of the goddess, that layer of veil was thrown into the sky.

When the ancient night goddess blocked her with divine power, the god of the abyss just took a deep look at Hermes and then withdrew his gaze.

Just this glance made Hermes feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body froze on the divine seat.

How could this great god be alarmed?

This was the only thought that flashed through Hermes' mind when he was watched by Tartarus.

Don't ask how he recognized the other party's identity. On the heavily guarded Mount Olympus, he can see through the space with his eyes.

Besides the primitive gods at the top of this world, are there other options?

"You have been discovered. Although you have the light of miracles, have you opened your mouth to eat? I think it's time for us to meet—"

The sleeping goddess opened her eyes and said these words to Hermes.

The power of night twisted before him, forming a portal, one end of which connected to the unknown void.

"..."

Hearing that soft voice say these words, Hermes' complexion was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help pursing the corners of his mouth.

Although he didn't know who the other party was at first, it was not difficult to see from this passage that the goddess who spoke knew him very well.

This understanding not only refers to the cognition of temper and character, but more seems to be all of him——

From existence to non-existence, Hermes felt that everything about him began with that sentence, and was instantly exposed to the other party's eyes.

"So, are you coming?"

The voice paused for a moment, and then continued to ask him: "This may be a journey related to your future destiny. The road under your feet is not smooth. Maybe there will be a flat road after the ups and downs. Facing obstacles, you will stumble without pain. , may also teach you a lesson, but it all depends on whether you want to come or not."

Regarding this warning, which seemed to be a prophecy, Hermes was silent for a while, and then stepped into the portal.

"Just now, I felt two powerful divine powers gathered in Olympos."

Regarding the undercurrent among the gods, Zeus was not unaware.

At this moment, in the Palace of the God King, the most honorable couple of the God Race rarely put aside their respective dislikes and gathered together one after another.

"What do you think about Hermes?"

Getting rid of the troubles of the golden seat, when facing her husband, Tian Hou let go of the arrogance she showed when facing outsiders.

Looking at Zeus, Hera said with a serious face: "Don't call me petting."

In front of everyone, Hermes was suddenly granted the title of Lord God.

If it is placed before, Hera may really think that this is a manifestation of Zeus's love for this son.

But after the fire god Hephaestus returned to Mount Olympus, and after a long talk with the elder son, Hera suddenly discovered that he was naive before.

You know, this male god is Zeus, the male god who personally overthrew his father and became the king of the gods by himself.

Looking at the whole world, it is estimated that no one is more aware of the unreliability of the so-called family bond than Zeus.

After all, even the father who gave birth to them was able to swallow the children who had not yet seen the light of this world because of a prophecy.

Although because of the conscience of the goddess of time, Zeus did not have such an experience, it did not prevent him from having doubts about it.

Driven by this emotion, even Hera also suspected Zeus's intention to promote three sons to become the main god.

If Hermes had been the only one, this might have driven Hera into a frenzy of jealousy.

But there was Ares, the god of war, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, both of which were her own children crawling out of her belly!

It is said that a mother is strong, and this may not be reflected enough in Gaia, because this ancient goddess is the gestator of the whole world.

Gaia distributed her love to the world, which made this goddess always appear very rational when facing her children.

However, because of a single thought at that time, Rhea did not hesitate to steal the sky and change the day, and secretly saved Zeus, which contributed to the feat of changing the world.

Now Hera's conscience has discovered that she also has a lot of guilt for Hephaestus.

Under the influence of loving mother, even with her, she dared to face her angry husband.

"This is what he deserves. Are you dissatisfied with it?"

Zeus didn't seem to hear Hera's question, and said unhurriedly at this moment: "In the oldest ancient era, the heavenly father and the earthly mother combined to give birth to the powerful Titan race, and the original Titan gods had twelve gods. Therefore, in contrast, there are a total of twelve in the list of the main gods."

"You mean to say that Hermes deserves to be the main god?"

Facing Zeus who said these words, Hera couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Then Hephaestus too?"

She had wondered before, how could Zeus, who is the representative of narrow-mindedness, take Vulcan back so easily at this moment?

And not only took it back, but also gave him the position of the main god and treated him with courtesy.

Isn't this the way you should treat your son?

With this thought in mind, Hera didn't think about it, maybe Zeus didn't take Hephaestus back as a father from the beginning.

"The consummation of the world requires the return of the main god. When all the main god seats are lit, this world will usher in new changes."

Having said that, the Thunder King closed his eyes and ignored his wife's insinuations.

……

On the banks of the Nether River, the three milfs who have been in charge of the lives of all the weavers here suddenly stopped their movements.

Looking at each other, Celasis, the oldest among them, put down the spindle in his hand, and whispered to the mysterious existence in the depths of the Styx: "The thread of fate has fluctuated, and it seems that everything is as expected by the mother goddess. , the fate of this world is moving towards an unfathomable trajectory, and we need your explanation for this."

"The star passed by, and the miraculous light not only gave hope, but also planted the root of all disasters."

Facing the inquiries of the three daughters, the supreme being in charge of destiny made a reminder, and then remained silent.

Glancing down, he looked at the two male gods standing in front of him, and the woman who covered her face with a black veil smiled slightly, "Do you think it's strange why you suddenly called me here, but you said such words again?" ?”

The words just now were not simply addressed to the three Moirai, but also reached the ears of Hermes and Danatus.

That's right, the moment Hermes stepped through the space gate, Hermes came directly to the eternal night in the void.

This is where the body of Goddess Nix is ​​located, and it is also located at the highest point of the sky.

If Tartarus, the god of the abyss, represents the cornerstone of the world, then Nix, the goddess of the night, is the veil of night that wraps the entire world.

Outside of the night, the connected space is chaos. Therefore, in the invisible dimension, the night is also the world's first protective barrier to the outside world.

"Don't say that Uranus can't touch here. Apart from me, other primitive gods can't set their sights here."

The implication is that this place is absolutely safe.

"I don't know... what is the purpose of the Mother of the Night summoning you?"

Although Nix didn't deliberately put on a high profile, as long as the goddess of the night stood there, she showed endless majesty and holiness in her gestures.

This is a special aura that only world openers have. It is different from the coercive power of the main gods of Olympus. The inborn phenomenon is a normal ability for primitive gods.

If it wasn't for Nix's intentional suppression, this aura alone would be enough to overwhelm Hermes in an instant.

"Mother God, you suddenly called me and Hermes, what are you going to do?"

Seeing the bewildered son immediately block Hermes behind him after he quickly finished speaking, the Evernight Goddess smiled slightly after a short moment of astonishment, "Okay, don't be too nervous , I called you over this time because there is something I want to tell you."

"Also ask the goddess to clarify."

Although he was guarded by Thanadus and given a comforting look by the other party, Hermes' heart was still very heavy.

Somewhere, he had a premonition. First, the God of the Abyss cast his eyes on him, and then, the Evernight Goddess suddenly called him here—all of these might be related to his newly acquired power. open relationship.

After this idea came into being, I don't know if Hermes' voice was heard by the great Chaos God Chaos.

Anyway, what the other party said next left them all stunned.
