Chapter 30: Stealing Fire (Part II)
"Apollo, what are you going to do?"
Helios said angrily, he didn't expect that, as the sun god, there would be people who would dare to stand at the gate of his palace and scold him. Especially this god who scolded him is still his junior.
"Hmph, your family, back then, relied on the strength of the crowd to bully my maternal grandparents, the god of the starry sky, Koos, and the goddess of radiance, Fubai. Among the gods, your reputation is spreading, and my maternal grandparents have become failures in their eyes. Today, I'm going to show the gods who the losers are. ”
Apollo drew his silver bow, drew his golden arrow, and was about to shoot it at the sun god Cleos. Suddenly, the Sun carriage under him moved violently, and he quickly turned over.
The golden carriage, drawn by Zeus and drawn by four firehorses, quickly flew in front of Helios. Helios jumped into the carriage, took out his shield and the spear of the sun, and drove the chariot towards Apollo.
"Apollo, you junior, you quickly apologize to me, and I will spare you this time. Otherwise, I will take you down, press you into the temple of the gods, and make you the laughing stock of the gods. ”
Apollo sneered, this son of the god Titan, really regarded himself as a powerful main god of Zeus Poseidon, and he closed his mouth to capture himself.
Thinking of what Athena had said to him, Apollo did not use his bow and arrow again, but waved it in his hand and took out a strange weapon.
This weapon is as long as a spear, the front end is a three-pronged knife, and the blade has blades on both sides, and the image is unique, which is the melee weapon that Adros once designed for Apollo, a three-pointed two-edged knife.
Apollo carried a three-pointed two-edged knife and began to engage Helios in a short fight, and after a few rounds, he almost measured Helios's strength, and sneered in his heart. He is also the son of the god Titan, the so-called sun god, far less powerful than Zeus and his brothers and sisters, and he does not seem to have reached the realm of the main god yet.
Once the gods reach the level of the main god, the laws can be combined with the divine power, and they have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary divine power. It is clear that Cleios, the sun god, has not yet reached this point.
Helios was also surprised, this junior god, the son of Zeus and Leto, is only a few dozen years old now, but his divine power is amazing, and his martial arts are strong, and he is not much worse than himself.
Thinking of this, Helios's expression suddenly became serious, and he threw his whole mind into the battle. If he was really defeated by Apollo, then he would be the sun god who became the laughing stock of the gods.
The two powerful gods, who began to clash from Mount Olympus, began to compete only in martial arts. After that, they gradually burst out of the fire, each driving the power of the law, and the flames and strong light appeared in a staggered manner, cutting through the sky here.
Then, the battle between the two gods became louder and louder, and it seemed to alarm the gods of the entire Olympus, the messengers of the god king Zeus and the god queen Hera, Hermes and Iris, had come to the side to stop and watch the battle.
Seeing them coming, Apollo thought that he could turn the tide of the battle and turn the battlefield of the two from Mount Olympus to the sky.
Without some restrictions on Mount Olympus, the battle between the two in the sky is even more exciting. Whether it is Apollo, the god of light, or Helios, the god of the sun, the divine power of the two is radiant. The difference is that Helios has white light, while Apollo has golden light.
Mortals above the earth can only find that the sun suddenly emerges on this day, and it swims freely in the air, not at all as rigorous as the usual rise and west setting.
In the eyes of the gods between heaven and earth and the human heroes who have become legends and above, it is a different scene. In the place where the fiery sun is, the two majestic gods are fighting, although the aftermath of the battle is deliberately limited, but the occasional falling flames and aurora all show the strength of these two gods.
Near the city of Athens, Teresias was listening intently to the battle in the air, he could not see, but he could feel the two powerful forces in the air.
"Teacher, which two gods are these?" exclaimed Sisyphus, who had once boasted that he was so powerful that he thought he was not inferior to the gods, but now that he had finally witnessed the battle of the gods, he realized how ridiculous his original idea was.
"It's Apollo, the god of light, and Helios, the god of the sun. Adros said in a deep voice, he couldn't understand why his brother could suddenly fight the sun god.
But after a few moments, he understood.
Where the two gods clashed, a gray-robed middle-aged god suddenly appeared, his speed was extremely fast, and it seemed that he was not inferior to these two gods representing light, and he rushed to the sun god Helios at once.
A huge fist blasted out, and it seemed that the space was faintly blasted open by the powerful force above it, which was extremely terrifying.
Helios hurriedly raised his shield to block this punch, but he didn't want the force of this punch to be very strong, and he was knocked off the sun cart at once, and he was knocked back thousands of miles away.
The sun god Apollo was furious: "Prometheus, you dare to meddle in our battle. He put away his three-pointed, two-edged sword, drew his longbow, and the golden arrow was shot at the prophet who had suddenly appeared.
Prometheus was the god who had come to stir up the trouble, and he looked at Apollo with a blank expression, dodging the golden arrows he shot in what appeared to be angry, and then looked at the helio's chariot.
On one of the rear wheels of the helio's chariot, among the blazing solar flames, there was a strange flame of various colors, which was the fire of the law that Apollo borrowed from Hephaestus to suppress Helios's solar fire, and took it from the newborn humans.
Prometheus took a gray branch from his bosom and probed it towards the flame, but the branch did not move and could not burn.
"In the name of Prometheus, the creator of mankind, the guide of human civilization, and the prophet, I pray to heaven and earth that the power to use fire be returned to mankind. If mankind can get the flame, I am willing to bear all the consequences and bear the most severe punishment in the world, witnessed by the gods of heaven and earth. ”
A loud rumble echoed throughout the heavens and the earth, and then a voice like thunder came: "Prometheus, you are looking for death." ”
Then, a thunderbolt slashed out from the sky and slashed at Prometheus in the air, and Prometheus did not raise his head, and received this thunderbolt alive, blood spurting out from his mouth and nose. He sat still in mid-air, using his divine power to draw this colorful flame to the branch.
This branch is not a mortal thing, it is a divine object of the Chaos Dryad, and he asked for it from Gaia, the Earth Mother, so that it can be connected to the fire of the law and brought into the world.
Gradually, the fire of the law finally began to move from the top of the sun god chariot to the gray branches, and Prometheus saw this, and a rare smile appeared on his tired face.
Blood oozed from his mouth and nose, but he didn't care at all, tightly guarded the branch in his hand, and walked towards the world.
"Prometheus, put down the fire of law, and I will spare your life. A thunderous voice sounded in the air again.
Prometheus shook his head and said resolutely, "No, humans need fire. "Since most of the divine power was protecting the branches and flames, fearing that something would go wrong with them, Prometheus was extremely slow to travel from mid-air to the human world, as slow as a human run.
When Apollo saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly looked to the other side, and relapsed drunk: "Helios, you still want to run, see that I don't beat you today." Lifting the three-pointed and two-edged knife, he rushed towards Helios, who was thousands of miles away.
When Adros saw this scene on the earth, he couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect that his brother, who has always been serious, would have such exaggerated acting skills.
He probably also knew that the famous Prometheus stole fire, and it turned out that he did exactly this, and it seems that his brother, Apollo, the god of light of mankind, also contributed a lot. But it is also good to be worthy of his priesthood and bring light to mankind.
In the Temple of the Gods, Zeus was expressionless, in the crystal of Hera, looking at Apollo, who was drunk and went to fight with the sun god Helios, and then looked at his drunken son Hephaestus in front of him, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
He also wanted to go out to stop Prometheus, but in his temple, his eldest sister Hestia and his second sister Demeter came together and were silent in front of him. Next to the two of them are Themis, the goddess of justice, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, their daughter.
"Very well, for the sake of a Prometheus, you all came to my temple of gods to block the door. ”
Athena doesn't speak, and she always doesn't like to talk to her god-king father, even though he seems to like her very much. This reminded her of her brother Adros, who also did not like to talk to Zeus, and once said something very reasonable to her: "Thinking differently, half a sentence is too much." ”
The white-haired god of the stove, Hestia, said lightly: "If there is no fire in the world, you should be the god of the stove." ”
The plump Demeter smiled: "I don't know how to use fire, what do you want me, the goddess of agriculture, to do, and what do you want to do with a good harvest?"
"For the sake of rules and justice. "The charming goddess of justice, Themis, is concise and to the point.
"Good, good, you all have your own reasons. Zeus smiled coldly: "The flame can go to the world, I want to see if Prometheus can go to the world alive." ”
After speaking, Zeus had an additional thunderbolt in his hand that was constantly changing, and as soon as this thing came out, the gods next to him suddenly felt a vigorous pressure, which made their hearts palpitate.
"Artifact 'Thunder'".
The gods have either seen it or heard it, and they all know the power of this artifact that heaven and earth have given to Zeus.
"If you survive this endless thunderbolt, I'll settle accounts with you, Prometheus. ”
Zeus held thunder and lightning in his hand, and looked at Prometheus in the crystal mirror faintly, as indifferent as a god.
