Chapter 41: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done

"Great God, Alice and I were both plotted by Carret, and she made us become the ghosts we are now! When we were on a mission in the human world, she once injured Alice with her dark power. This time, the great god won't have to open and close his eyes to her again, right?"

In the side hall, Hera, the goddess of blessings, stood beside Zeus and kept telling her grievances, twisting her body and pouting and frowning, and from time to time squeezing out a little tears from her eyes:

"My hair is nothing, at most it will grow back in a while, thick or thin, let it go! But Alice is different! She was so young that she had a whole face ruined, and she wore a mask all day long, so how could she get married in the future?"

Hera grumbled a lot in one breath, and then turned one side of her face at a small angle towards the side of the Goddess of Disputes. As if intentionally or unintentionally, Hera rolled her eyes, and the afterglow of her eyes was like a gust of wind, weakly sweeping the goddess of dispute.

But it was this seemingly nonexistent action that reminded Alice, and she immediately understood, and cried loudly in front of everyone's eyes:

"Oh, I'm really unlucky! The god is celibate, and he finally survived the opportunity to be reborn, but he was ruined by a messenger with a low status, telling me how to marry in the future! God, I don't have the face to see people! I don't want to live anymore...... Woowoo woo ......"

Zeus stopped wiping his hands repeatedly and rolled his eyelids at the crying goddess of dispute.

To be honest, Zeus really couldn't be sure at the moment whether Alice in front of him was really crying or pretending.

Since her entire face was covered by a thick gold mask,

Zeus could not see her expression. Therefore, he even wondered if Alice was really crying, with a mask to cover her face, would her tears be piled up between the mask and the skin of her face. In that case, she must be uncomfortable enough, right?

Zeus could only think about it, and although he was extremely upset by Alice, he couldn't help but laugh when he sketched in his mind her embarrassed appearance full of tears but unable to flow.

"Alice, you're in a hurry to marry yourself off, are you?"

Zeus looked at her with a square scarf in his hand, raised his eyebrows on one side, and deliberately asked jokingly:

"You are the eldest daughter of me and the queen of heaven, it is not easy to get married? I will give you marriage myself, and see who dares not to accept you!"

"God, that's not what I meant!"

Alice was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted dissatisfiedly.

She wasn't stupid, and she could hear Zeus mocking her both inside and out.

"Oh, don't you want to marry?" Zeus retracted his gaze and sneered unceremoniously:

"Then I'm really confused! Alice, what do you mean by making a fuss......

Alliston paused, peeking out from behind the empty hole in her mask to observe her mother blessing the goddess. The shrewd Hera was silent at this time, and no longer expressed any opinions easily.

Time passed in a tense wait......

Helplessly, Alice gritted her teeth and resolutely replied to Zeus:

"Punish Kareta severely, and dispose of the evil seed in her belly once and for all!"

โ€œ...... Severe punishment?

Zeus slowly retracted his cold smile, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

โ€œ...... She...... Summoned the 'Doom Beast' illusion without authorization, in an attempt to destroy the ...... of the Holy Mountain"

Alice bowed her head and opened her mouth. She didn't dare to look directly into Zeus's gaze, fearing that her lie would be shattered by those two sharp rays of light in an instant.

Sensitive, she already sensed that something wasn't quite right with the atmosphere, and the air seemed to be condensing, making it difficult for her to breathe. "Plop...... Plop ......" Alice could clearly hear her own heartbeat, so fast that it was out of rhythm.

Alice took a few deep breaths and nervously grabbed the silk skirt around her waist with both hands, stirring back and forth.

"What else, what else?"

In his ears, Zeus continued to ask, his voice deep and unable to hear any emotion.

โ€œ...... She uses the evil dark power to fight against the god Olympus in an attempt to ...... Attempting to destroy the Holy Mountain......"

"It's nonsenseโ€”"

An angry roar erupted in the hall.

Zeus couldn't bear it anymore and threw the scarf out of his hand.

It flew past the face of the nearest attendant, still holding the disc in his hand and kneeling still. The squire's features shifted for a moment, as if he was trying his best to endure some kind of pain. Soon, a bruised wound appeared on the cheek that had been touched by the square scarf.

"You said that Kareta summoned the beast?Okay, then I ask you, if she is the initiator, why did she have to deal with that monster?And why, after you two were seriously injured by her, the monster's form was completely reduced?

The more Zeus spoke, the more angry he became, and his gentle and white face was red and distorted by infinite anger. For a long time after scolding Alice, his sonorous and resentful voice still echoed in the space of the side hall.

Hera and Alice both hung their heads, not daring to take a deep breath, and their whole bodies were trembling.

Zeus's anger fell, and the side hall became quiet, but the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Zeus no longer paid attention to Hera's mother and daughter, but he did not personally ask them to leave, and left them alone.

Hera pondered for a long time, and finally asked tentatively:

"But the great god, now that Kareta is pregnant with the child of the god of darkness, don't you ...... too?"

"Shut upโ€”"

Zeus glared at Hera and interrupted Hera harshly.

At this moment, the figure of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, flashed in his mind, which made his heart ache and agony.

Zeus breathed a long sigh of relief, and the thumb and forefinger of his right hand kept rubbing the skin between his eyebrows, unwilling to raise his head to look at Hera again:

"Roll ......"

He said to her, resolutely:

"Get out of here, Hera, take your daughter, get out of my palace, and don't let me see you two again!"

Hera looked at her husband in astonishment, tears rolling in her wide eyes.

"Great God...... You ......"

"I told you to take Alice, get out!"

Zeus closed his eyes and did not look at her.

Hera nodded slowly, tears falling from her eyes. She didn't bother wiping it, and she didn't bother with the dispute, and left quickly.

Alice didn't dare to provoke Zeus again, bowed slightly to him, and turned around and trotted out.

"Great God...... Great God, you dissipate your anger. โ€

The two troublemakers were gone, and the ambassador Hermis came over at this moment and tried his best to comfort Zeus, who was already angry.

Zeus raised his right arm and pointed his finger in the direction where Hera's mother and daughter had left. For a while, he seemed to be in a hurry, except for pouring out his anger through his actions, but he couldn't express a word.

This frightened Hermes, who rarely saw Zeus angry as he had just done, so he stroked his chest and gave him a thump on the back. After some busyness, Zeus recovered and his face slowly returned to normal.

"Oh! blessed Goddess...... Blessed Goddess! Humans may not know that the goddess who brought them peace and peace in myths and legends would be a vicious and willful shrew!"

Zeus leaned back in his chair. , shaking his head almost helplessly, he kept complaining to his ambassador Hermis:

"Look at ...... Look at her crazy appearance just now, how can she still look like a steady and dignified mother of a family!?"

"Yes, yes, God, you've extinguished the fire, it's all over......"

It's inconvenient for Hemis to say anything, similar episodes have been repeated many times since the beginning of the god generation~. He knew that today's breakfast was a waste, and Zeus would definitely not be able to eat at this time.

โ€œ...... Last night, I dreamed of the goddess of the sea again...... Thetis ...... She was still so beautiful, but she looked very sad......"

After a moment of thought, Zeus told his ambassador the truth about his heartache.

"Great God ......"

This time, Hermes really didn't know how to comfort his lord. When it comes to the emotional privacy of the gods of all gods, especially for the special role of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, the clever Hermes prefers to act as a quiet listener.

"No one could have imagined that a trip to the human realm would completely change Karete's fate. Last night's dream must have been her mother's Izumishita...... Come and blame me...... I understood that I had gone too far with Karete, that I had deceived her, that I had used her, that I had forcibly taken everything that belonged to her for my own purposes...... Her mother, Thetis, is to blame...... O Karete, Karete...... It's really grown up...... More and more like Thetis, her mother. Every time I see her, I think of her mother, God has failed her for me, and now she has lost her daughter......"

After repeating the words, Zeus could no longer suppress the expression of more and more painful and tangled, and hurriedly covered his face with his hands.

"God, don't think about it......"

Seeing this, Hermes patiently comforted Zeus. At the same time, he felt that his heart was not a taste.

Hermes followed Zeus all year round, and he knew better than any god the place of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, in Zeus's heart. From the gods to the present, she is the greatest emotion that has survived in Zeus's heart.

Zeus always has a majestic posture when facing the gods, but whenever he thinks of Thetis, whenever he thinks, he will reveal his truest feelings that he usually does not easily reveal.

Now, Hermes finally understood the reason why he had made the great god so evil.

Zeus was mourning the love of his heart again, and the god who persecuted his favorite god was Hera's mother and daughter! This is exactly what human beings often say, and when enemies meet, their eyes are very red......
