Holy Mountain, Olympus –

Zeus, the god of the gods, slowly entered Carette's bedchamber, and as he walked, his exquisite golden robe swayed with a slight fragrance in the air.

He was accompanied not by Hermes, the ambassador, but by Venus, the goddess of love, the lord of Carret, a charming goddess with a face like a full moon and long hair reaching to her waist.

"Get up. ”

Zeus walked up to the handmaidens and gave them a casual command, and then his eyes fell on Carret, who was sitting in front of the mirror.

Kareta remained motionless, looking at the half of Zeus's body reflected in the mirror with a faint expression.

She couldn't turn back, turn back to face this supreme god. When she saw the image of him in the mirror, she immediately thought of Demos and Kali, as well as the Dark tribe who had been wiped out by the Olympus Holy Legion.

After all, the brutal slaughter had only recently ended, and she couldn't let go of the memory of her beloved's death anyway.

Karette frowned and stared at the makeup mirror in front of her, her chest swelling, and she felt sick for no reason.

She seemed to smell a strong smell of blood, faintly emanating from under the precious robe of Zeus behind her.

Zeus, the head of the gods, how many souls of the dead who died in the struggle for power and lust were hidden behind his glorious glory, and how much blood of life stained his beautiful clothes?

"Ahem......"

After waiting for two seconds, she didn't see Kareta turn around and salute, and Eros, as her superior, felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly cleared her throat, and said in a pleasant voice:

"You, Karet, you've been in the human world for too long, and now you've forgotten the rules of the clan when you come back......"

"Not necessarily!"

Zeus waved his hand and cut off Venus's words:

"It's good to come back, why bother so many courtesies? Kareta is tired, I don't have to wait by your side during this time, let's have a good rest during the holidays!"

"Oh, you've spoken, but I haven't said anything yet?"

Venus, the goddess of love, covered his mouth and smiled "hehe" on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already up and down, and he was so nervous.

"Alright, you go down and let me and Karete ...... Let's have a good conversation with father and daughter. ”

Zeus commanded Venus, but the light of a pair of bright eyes was staring at Carret's back. When he was talking, he deliberately spit out the tone of the word "father and daughter" very heavily.

Kareta stared straight into the mirror, tilted the corners of her mouth, and let out a silent sneer.

"Okay, then I'll step back. You don't have to wait here, just let me go!"

Venus, the goddess of love, bowed slightly to Zeus, stepped back and beckoned to the kneeling maids, and then hurried away with them.

In the dormitory, only Zeus and Carreta sat in front of the dresser, so the spacious square space seemed particularly quiet.

Zeus waited for a moment, opened his mouth and sighed lightly, and then said:

"Karete, you really don't want to turn around...... Do you want to take a good look at your father?"

“...... Father? Indeed...... If you and I meet today as kings and ministers, it is indeed rude for me to pay homage. However, if it is really my father, I'm sorry, I can't face you, and I can't accept what you've done!"

Carette finally spoke, her voice cold.

"I know you're resentful of me because of the dark gods. But the elimination of the Dark Clan has long been in my plan, so I warned you early on not to be honest with him. ”

Zeus still had a good temper and refused to get angry at her for challenging his celestial might.

Karete's cold snort was even more muffled:

"Now, shouldn't I congratulate the Great God? You used me to win down the Dark Clan, not only to win back the Athena Gem, but also to use it as an excuse to eliminate dissidents, and to lose a confidant scourge. ”

Zeus nodded helplessly:

"Forget it, whatever I explain will make you feel like I'm being a hypocrite. Carette, now that she's back, take your heart. You have done so much for the Holy Mountain, for me, and I will make up for you. ”

"Compensation?" Karette sneered again.

"Yes, I have already decided to let you be promoted to the position of the righteous god of the holy mountain, and the canonization ceremony will be held on a certain day, and the function of 'virtue' will be held. In the future, Olympus will have an extra golden chair for you, and you will be the unique goddess of virtue here. ”

Zeus spoke a lot in one breath, in a calm tone, without paying much attention to the mood of the listener next to him.

Carette finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around, her eyes shining. And the moment she turned around, his eyebrows stretched slightly, showing a slight smugness.

At this moment, Carreta stopped at the blue eyes of Zeus, but there was nothing to say.

The blue is always like a calm but bottomless sea, shining with a bright and wise light. But at this moment, the dazzling light was extremely dazzling, like countless sword lights.

"Ha ......"

Kareta suddenly let out a low moan and turned her head hard. Avoid Zeus's attention to her.

She still couldn't look directly at Zeus, the god who had taken Demos's life with his own hands, his hands stained with the blood of the Dark Clan

The god's routine, it's really profound-

Karette said.

In the past, he did everything possible to force me to Demos's side, using me as bait and camping step by step, and finally wiped out the Dark Clan commanded by Demos. Now, Demos has just passed away, and he has taken me back to the Holy Mountain, and I will be promoted directly from the position of messenger to the godhood. In this way, those who do not know the truth will only think that I have deceived Demos by playing a lust, and secretly assisted Zeus in eliminating the dissidents.

If I accept the gift of Zeus, I will be even more disappointed by the Demos who exchanged my soul for my rebirth-

"Great God, I don't want a god position!"

Carette finally restrained her emerging grandeur and spoke slowly to Zeus.

"Oh, this is a privilege that ordinary low-level gods can't hope for. ”

Zeus looked at Caret and smiled slyly, as if he had been very useful for her concessions:

"So what do you want, you can talk about it. ”

"Fulfill the promise you made to me...... Let go of Bai Xiu!"

Kareta looked directly at Zeus and replied, looking determined.

“...... No problem, I'll immediately order someone to send him out of the Tianshui Cold Pool. The day after tomorrow is the Titans' Easter ball, and I hope to see you there. Also, the ceremony of enshrinement of making you a righteous god is scheduled after the ball!"

Zeus raised his jaw slightly, and without delay after speaking, he turned around and left with his sleeves brushed away, leaving no time for Carette to argue.

She clenched her fists, and Mu looked at his back in a daze, and her expression became more and more solemn......

——

In the gloomy palace, Carette finally met Perse. He had just escaped from the Tianshui Cold Pool, and was now recuperating in his dormitory.

Time is an emotionless traveler, and his speed is always the same, but people with different moods can feel that the flow of time seems to be inadvertently differentiated.

It had been more than half a year since Kareta and Bai Xiu met again after their separation in the human world. For Karet, these six months seem to be just a momentary wandering, but for Bai Xiu, who is the high priest of the sun god, it is like the transformation of the sea from mulberry field, and it is extremely difficult.

Bai Xiu's dormitory is now gone, many rich and gorgeous furnishings and diligent servants are long gone, the whole palace is empty, every breath is echoed, and the atmosphere seems oppressive and dull.

Time has passed, a courtier who has fallen out of favor and passed the season, it is already very good to have a place to live, why do you need those exquisite luxury accessories to rush to the façade?

If there is, it seems to be a kind of self-harm.

The simplicity and depression of the moment may also be a kind of relief.

"Pasiu ......"

Kareta stood across from Pacius, raising her gaze straight at him.

Bai Xiu was no longer wearing a bright red dazzling dress, and he was wearing a plain robe.

He still maintained his old habits, very casually with neck-length silver hair, and stood in the center of the dormitory with an elegant smile, but the toned and straight figure in Carette's memory was now a little collapsed.

He was much thinner, and his face with fine features was more angular. In the past, the pair of golden eyes that could perceive all secrets always emitted a bright light, but now they have no look.

His complexion was already very white, he had been in that ice heart for too long, and now he looked even paler, so pale that it was chilling, as pale as a piece of soaked flesh, and a slight blue light was refracted in the whiteness.

The sight in front of her made Carette shudder inwardly, and her brow furrowed slightly, but it did not show much sadness or joy. Xu Yes, after experiencing too many things, he gradually learned to hide and learn to be silent.

Pacius didn't respond to Karete, a pair of gloomy eyes still focused on her face, straight and straight for a long time.

He couldn't believe that everything in front of him was not a dream, and the girl who made him haunted by his dreams and was even willing to protect with his own life was really standing in front of him at this time, staring at him.

Is the nightmare of the human world, which seems to be far from ending, over? Or will it be the beginning of another nightmare......

"Pasiu ......"

Slowly, Kareta opened her mouth and called at him again, like a lightly scented breeze rushing towards him.

“......”

Bai Xiu finally came back to his senses.

“...... Carreta ......"

Only then did he respond, and his muttering contained a thousand emotions. Unable to suppress the pent-up emotions in her heart for a long time, she slowly raised a hand and slowly stretched it towards her side of her cheek.

The surroundings are very quiet, and there is no wind movement.

Kareta looked silent, her two thin and long eyebrows spread flat on her beautiful and flawless face, silently without the slightest fluctuation.

She was completely aware of Bai Xiu's next move, but she didn't take steps to stop it, and she couldn't find any sadness or joy in her clear eyes, nor was she panicked or shy. On the contrary, in that overly bland look, there seems to be an elusive coldness.

She already knew his feelings for herself, even if she couldn't respond, she didn't want to escape, she wanted to accept this kind of warmth that was not ambiguous, it was a kind of repayment to him.

Karet, she was no longer the little girl who stood under the nose tree, frightened by the insects and crying, her youth and childishness had been worn away by the arduous experience, like a real jewel, washed by lead, finally forged, shining with dazzling light.

Indeed, now she is more mature and more dazzling-

After a few seconds, Bai Xiu no longer hesitated, and directly lowered the palm that was out of thin air, ironing it on half of Karete's cheek.

At that moment, he moved his two thin lips, and a sad sigh faintly flowed.

In the past six months, Carreta has experienced too many misfortunes, and those hardships have turned into an indestructible force, instantly ripening her heart with innocence and beautiful yearning.

He tried to help her and save her, but in the end he failed. Bai Xiu has been blaming himself for this, even if he is punished in the cold pool, he blames himself every day, it is his own insignificance and incompetence that has caused this girl to fall into a situation from which she will never recover, and in the end, even the man who loves her the most, the god of darkness, Demos, has lost -

Now, the only thing he can do for Kareta is to use this palm of his hand, the temperature between this palm of his hand that is not too hot, to care for her and love her......

Pacius never wanted to peek into Carret's heart with his peculiar eyes.

He loved her, so he respected her, respected her privacy and secrets, but today, he wanted to abandon this humility and cowardice that came from love, and boldly read her thoughts.

Her eyes fell, stopping at her heart. It didn't take long for Bai Xiu's two eye circles to turn red. A mist rolled up, his eyelashes trembled, and two strings of tears flowed down his eyes.

In the depths of the girl's weak heart, he saw many sadistic feelings, which were like weeds spreading wildly, clogging her heart. And she is very stubborn, no matter how depressed and painful her heart is, she refuses to easily release all kinds of things in front of people.

Bai Xiu cried, not because he was hurt by those unbearable past, but because of her, Karet, and for her stubborn and strong nature that she had gone through all kinds of things—

Facing him crying, Karete's expression remained unmoving,

She has seen too many sudden and unexpected changes, and has looked down on any emotional outpouring, and when her mind matures to a certain extent, she may turn to numbness.

"Ahem—"

At this time, Bai Xiu suddenly coughed violently. He hurriedly withdrew his hand to the side, another sharp cough that made his emaciated shoulders rise and fall.

Kareta moved up, and was about to ask about his physical condition, when another concerned and anxious voice came from behind her:

"How are you—"

Hearing this, Kareta turned around and saw a silver-haired girl in a beautiful short skirt standing at the door of the dormitory.

She is the sister of the sun god Apollo, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, Artimis!
