The Holy Mountain, Zeus' Bedchamber –

Zeus, the god of all gods, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, tossing and turning several times and still unable to sleep.

Tonight's weather was exceptionally stuffy, with no wind moving at all.

Unconsciously, Zeus's back was already covered with a layer of hot sweat, and his mood became more irritable.

Zeus kept complaining in his heart about the goddess of summer, why didn't he come to a heavy rain at this time to relieve the heat of the summer.

Although the Titans have a clear rule, the gods cannot rely on their own laws to interfere with the laws of nature and disturb the order of all things.

But now Zeus is really too hot to sleep. He even began to wonder if this abnormal weather was due to the defeat of the Goddess of Summer and Carette, which caused her to be cunning again and deliberately make the weather like this, so that everyone could suffer with her.

Zeus lay on the bed and turned over, and he could always hear the "clanging" knock coming from outside the window.

"Hemes—Hemes—"

Zeus frowned and got up and sat down on the bed, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and shouted loudly to the inner and outer surfaces in distraught.

"Great God, please command ......"

Hermes soon stood outside Zeus's tent, bowing his head respectfully and waiting for orders.

"Why is it so noisy outside? It's late, are the craftsmen who built the palace still in a hurry?"

Hemes was stunned for a moment, listened carefully, and then said to Zeus:

"Great God, I'll go back when I go!"

After a short time, Hermes turned back and reported to him:

"God, I checked carefully, and there are no craftsmen working on it. ”

"Forget it, you can rest, it's hard work. ”

Zeus waved his hand outside in the translucent tent and lay down again.

He forced himself to close his eyes and calm down, not to think about anything superfluous. After another moment, he finally fell asleep......

In the midst of the smoke, Zeus stood by the sea where the morning light had risen.

The "bubbling" waves surrounded him, and he felt much more comfortable as he watched the warm red sunrise and the moist sea breeze blow.

Suddenly, a string of colorful water bubbles appeared in the center of the sea, and a small fountain sprung up. A gentle, beautiful woman, dressed in a long navy blue dress, was now above the small fountain.

"Thetis ......"

Zeus was amazed, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then concentrated on looking ahead.

It was indeed her, the goddess who was so charming and colorful that he was haunted by his dreams!

Zeus had a headache in his heart, and he wanted to confide in her a thousand words, but he was too excited to block all of them in his throat for a while.

So he jumped into the sea, and despite the fact that his gorgeous dress was soaked by the waters of the shallows, he strode desperately towards her.

No matter how long he walked, Zeus felt like he was standing still, as if he would never reach the center of the sea, unable to reach her side.

Zeus finally lost his strength and stood in the sea gasping for breath.

The goddess of the sea looked at him sadly, her thin rosy lips squirming slightly.

"What, Thetis, what are you talking to me? I can't hear ......"

Zeus could not help but continue to walk briskly in her direction, pleading melancholy as he went:

"Thetis, will you be louder, will you say it again...... You ...... again."

One of them didn't pay attention, Zeus tripped under his feet, and his whole body fell into the sea.

Opposite, Thetis stared at him, her eyelashes blinking, and strings of tears rolled down.

"Why ......"

Thetis finally uttered a slow voice, and his tone was mournful:

"Why...... Why ......"

Zeus was startled, looking at the tears that fell, and felt a sharp pain in his heart as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

He staggered to his feet, looked at her in the distance with pity, and asked:

"What's the matter, Thetis, my dear, don't cry! please...... Tell me, what the hell is wrong with you......"

Thetis didn't answer, and her form suddenly changed before Zeus's eyes, and she became a blackened Carret.

"Card ...... Karete?"

Zeus was taken aback by the instantaneous upheaval.

I saw her two red eyes jumping up, and she swooped towards Zeus, shouting angrily in her bloody mouth:

"Why!Why!Why!Why-"

......

"Ahh

Zeus screamed loudly and woke up from his dream.

"Great God! Great God...... Hermes ran into the inner room in a few steps, lifted the curtain of the curtain and leaned in, looking a little frightened:

"How are you?"

"Oh, out of the way...... It's just a dream. ”

Zeus sighed heavily, and raised his hand tiredly to wipe the sweat from his head.

"Will you rest again?"

"No need......

Zeus, catching a glimpse of the bright sunlight slanting in from the corner of the tent, and knowing that it was dawn, stretched out his arms on the bed, made a chest expansion motion, and then commanded his ambassadors:

"Prepare your dress. ”

"Good. ”

Knowing that this was the meaning of the great god's desire to get up, Hermes agreed to exit the inner chamber, instructed the maids and servants waiting outside to take their own things, and then entered the inner chamber in an orderly manner to freshen up and change clothes for the great god Zeus.

When he had done this, Zeus walked out of the inner room with Hermes and a few maids and enjoyed a hearty breakfast in one of the side halls of the dormitory.

When Zeus was seated, Hermes stood by his side, supervising the attendants to serve the food in an orderly manner, without any ceremonial mistakes.

The dishes were quickly set up and fully furnished. Hemis double-checked that there was no problem, and nodded to one of the attendants.

The attendant understood, and immediately came up and presented Zeus with a tray between his hands, in which was placed the hand-purifying square cloth specially prepared for the great god.

Zeus sat at the head of the table, his posture upright, his eyes fixed on a certain point on the table, he was so preoccupied with the dream he had last night that he had completely forgotten what he was supposed to do at this time.

How could I dream of Thetis at this time?

Zeus kept asking himself in his heart:

Why, in the blink of an eye, Thetis became Carreta again? The two of them, they are so similar...... Thetis, what exactly is she trying to inspire me......

Seeing that Zeus was not moving, Hermis hurriedly whispered:

"Great God, Great God!"

"Oh......"

Zeus finally stopped his fugue. When he came back to his senses, he felt a slight ache in his brain, so he rubbed his temples with both thumbs, and then stretched out a hand and took the handkerchief from the plate held up by the attendant.

A staccato "boom" sound attracted Zeus.

"Huh?"

Zeus listened carefully for a few more seconds, and when he was sure that it was someone's cry, he asked Hermes, who was with him:

"What's going on out there? Who's crying there?"

Hemis frowned slightly, and felt a burst of disgust in his heart, but he didn't dare to be too perfunctory:

"It's Hera, the queen of heaven, and the goddess of disputes, who seem to have something to tell you face-to-face, and have been waiting outside since early in the morning. I'm afraid I'll disturb your meal, so ......"

As Hermis said this, he secretly sweated for himself.

Since the fierce battle of the gods that night, the relationship between the great god Zeus and the queen of heaven Hera has become extremely delicate, and this little change can only be felt by Hermes, who has been by Zeus's side all the year round and is very good at observing words and feelings, and figuring out the mind of the Lord.

Now that the great god has just risen, Hera's mother and daughter have come to block the door, which will definitely not be a good thing. As a messenger, if you don't stop the mother and daughter who will cause trouble in time at this juncture, the great god will definitely blame himself for his bad behavior. Stop them, Zeus is absent-minded at the moment, maybe why things are not happy, maybe he will be angry with himself because of Hera's mother and daughter.

Zeus, however, did not pay much attention to the embarrassment of the ambassador, thinking that he had indeed been separated from Hera for many days, so he instructed Hermes:

"Let them come in and talk about anything. Sit down and have breakfast together. ”

"Okay! I'll call it!"

When Hermes listened to Zeus's words, his mood immediately brightened. It didn't take long to go out, but he brought Hera's mother and daughter and the two maids who accompanied him in.

"Great God! Great God—"

As soon as Hera, the goddess of blessings, saw her husband, she immediately fell to the ground and ran to the feet of Zeus.

"Great God, you have to make decisions for me and my daughter...... Woohoo......"

Zeus had just picked up the scarf that cleaned his hands, and when he saw Hera's crying appearance, he was irritated, frowned, and said with a slight reproach:

"What are you doing, my diva! Get up and talk about it, this appearance is not afraid of people's jokes!"

Alice, the goddess of disputes, was always by her mother's side, and when she heard Zeus's angry rebuke, she hurriedly pretended to answer:

"The face is gone, who can care about laughing at and who doesn't laugh?"

When Zeus heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and stared at Alice.

Ever since her face was wounded by Kareta's dark spell that night, the Goddess of Dispute has become extremely nervous, and has been grinding Hermis all day long to heal her wounds by all means.

However, the end result is just as Carreta said, after Hermes's careful treatment, Alice's face is saved, but her appearance is still completely ruined.

When the malignant wounds that ran all over her face healed, there were many raised horizontal and vertical scars on her countenance, which were like red earthworms lying on her thin face.

Alice was born with an ordinary appearance, and now her facial features look almost "ugly".

Alice immediately fainted, and when she woke up, she broke all the mirrors in the dormitory, and cried several times. In desperation, Zeus had no choice but to order Hevetos, the god of metalwork, to create a whole mask out of pure gold and wear it on her face, specifically to cover up her ugliness.

Now, Zeus couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach when he looked at the goddess of disputes, especially at the expressionless metalwork on her face, which exuded a cold aura.

"Shut up!"

Zeus reprimanded Alice in a low voice, then bowed his head slightly, so that his gaze deliberately did not make contact with the golden mask.

He looked at Hera, who was kneeling beside him, and asked:

"Running early in the morning, what's the matter? You stand up and talk slowly!"

"Yes, Great God. ”

At this time, Hera behaved obediently to Zeus, and when he said "get up", she did not dare to delay, and quickly got up from the ground, her nose moved, and two strings of tears fell.

"Oh yes, what do you say—"

Zeus was a little impatient, and deliberately asked in a long voice, using this tone to express his dissatisfaction.

"Great God, Alice and I have made a special trip to come here, first, we haven't seen you for many days, and we are very concerned about your Holy Body. I'm afraid that I'm not by your side, and the subordinates will not do things well and take care of you......"

"Okay, don't worry, I can trust them completely......"

Zeus directly interrupted Hera's nonsense.

In his opinion, her lengthy opening sentence was too clichéd, and it was actually a request for him, and it was quite a troublesome request.

"My diva, talk about you!"

This time, Zeus's tone was much stiffer.

Hera shuddered, looked at her husband, and no longer delayed time:

"Great God, Alice and I are like this now, what are you going to do?"

“...... What to do? What to do?"

Zeus slowly wiped his hands with a wet towel and asked Hera with a sly smile. In fact, at this time, he already understood the intention of the mother and daughter in his heart.
