Chapter 7: The Wedding

The palace under the sea is gorgeous and magnificent, far from being comparable to the nameless island where Adros and the others lived. Seeing this beautiful underwater palace, Adros couldn't help but think of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

But although the Dragon King of the Four Seas said that it was a dragon, in the eyes of the gods and Buddhas, it was a small snake, teasing at will, and the owner of this palace was not comparable to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, he was the most orthodox sea god today, although he was still dormant, but sooner or later he would set off a monstrous wave in the sea.

Yes, Amphitrite's soon-to-be-married husband is none other than Zeus's brother, Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Along the way, Artemis had a lot of fun looking at the underwater world as she listened to Poseidon's quest for Amphitrite.

Once, when Poseidon saw her dancing with her sisters on the shore of Naxos, he was overwhelmed by Amphitrite's beauty and immediately tried to pull her into the car and take her away, but Amphitrite hid. In order to avoid Poseidon, she even hid behind the Titan god Atlas, who carried the Celestial Universe on her strong shoulders, but Poseidon was unable to find her for a long time before a dolphin told Poseidon where she was hiding.

Atlas, the god of the heavens, is the son of Iapetus, the god of speech, and the younger brother of Prometheus the Wise. During the Battle of the Titans, he sided with Kronos, and after his defeat, he was punished by the god-king Zeus by holding his hands up to the sky.

Amphitrite had been friendly with Atlas since she was a child, so she hid behind him, and when Poseidon finally found her, she defeated Atlas with the trident in her hand, and took the shy Amphitrite to the lord of the sea, Okeanos, to ask for his marriage, and finally Okeanos and Amphitrite agreed to his request.

Artemis pouted disdainfully: "I didn't expect Poseidon to have infatuation times." She had heard from the goddess Leto that Poseidon had raped her own sister, Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and had always had a deep contempt for Poseidon's character.

Poseidon took his younger brother Zeus, the god-king, as a "role model" and fell in love with his sister Demeter, who did not agree, so he became a horse and hid among the horses of Ogugus. But Poseidon became a stallion, the horse that Demeter became.

Adros shook his head slightly: "This is by no means infatuation, Poseidon must have other reasons for marrying Aunt Amphitrite." ”

Styx looked at Adros with a smile on his face, and his slender eyes narrowed: "I didn't expect little Adros to be so smart, it seems that there is another wise man in our Titans." "There are two recognized wise men among the Titans, one is the late Metis, the goddess of wisdom, and the other is Prometheus, who hides among mortals.

Adros was noncommittal and smiled at Styx's inclusion of him among the Titans.

"Aunt Styx, tell me what's going on?" Artemis hurriedly asked.

Styx took Adros in his arms, touched his face, and then laughed: "Our god of the sea, who was divided by the god king, has almost been overwhelmed by the ancient sea god Pontus, so he can only ask my family for help. And my father, who was bent on expanding his power, had always been the most calculating, and the most adept at using his daughter as a bargaining chip, and after understanding the situation, he immediately married Amphitrite. ”

Listening to Styx's words, Adros felt a pang of clarity in his heart. Pontus, the ancient god of the sea, son of Gaia, the mother of the earth, and the brother of the ancient mountain god Uria and the first god-king Ouranos. He has many heirs, and he has a lot of relationships with several primordial gods, so it's no wonder that Poseidon can't bear it.

And Styx's father, Okeanos, the lord of the sea, has more descendants than Pontus, and many of his children have no place to rule. He married Poseidon, and it seems that he is going to war with the ancient god of the sea.

"And Aunt Amphitrite, is she willing to marry Poseidon?" Artemis asked.

Styx was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and then sighed: "What if you are willing, what can you do if you are unwilling, as an older sister, you must always think about the thousands of younger brothers and sisters behind." She married Poseidon, and thus became the god of the ocean in legitimacy, and the future of my younger siblings was determined. Besides, women, sooner or later, they will marry and have children, and Poseidon is not a very bad choice no matter how you look at it. "Isn't she, when she married Paris, looking for allies for her father?

When Artemis heard this, he shook his head vigorously: "Whoever said it, I will not marry anyone in the future." But I'll take good care of little Adros too. ”

Stix smiled, "So, our little Artemis is going to learn from Hestia and be a virgin." ”

Hestia, the future god of the stove, is in charge of ten thousand fireworks, is the eldest daughter of the previous god king Kronos, and now the eldest sister of the god king Zeus, her strength is unfathomable, even the lustful Zeus and Poseidon, and no one dares to provoke her in the slightest.

······

Through a long corridor, they finally arrived at the temple of the sea god. As soon as he stepped into the temple of the god of sea, Adros felt as if he had entered the vegetable market, and it was noisy.

In the main hall, there were thousands of male gods and goddesses, and when they saw Stix coming in, they came forward to greet them. Stix smiled and returned the favor with them one by one. These gods and goddesses are the younger siblings of Styx, the other children of Okeanos and Tessis, the lord of the ocean. For this eldest sister of theirs, these gods are very respectful.

Seeing this scene, Adros secretly slandered in his heart, so many children, it seems that Zeus, a god, wants to compare with Okeanos, the gap is not a little bit, and I don't know if Okeanos and themselves can distinguish their children.

"Eldest sister, is this your newborn child?" spoke Styx's eldest brother, the father of the Sirens and the river god Akru. His brother-in-law, Paris, and Zeus were imprisoned in the abyss of Tartarus, but it is unknown which god took the heart of the eldest sister again.

Stix shook his head: "No, they are the children of Zeus and Leto's children. ”

Hearing of Adros' origins, these sons and goddesses of the ocean were excited, and these days, their father Okeanos and mother Cessis constantly urged them to find Leto's children on the ocean. They were forced by their parents to listen to the sound of conches above the sea, their ears were almost swollen, but they heard nothing. If Amphitrite hadn't married Poseidon today, it is estimated that they would still be wandering across the ocean.

Hearing Akrus slowly tell what happened, it became clear to Styx that Artemis and Adros had heard about their maternal grandfather and grandmother for the first time. Artemis, in particular, heard that the two of them were going to Hera's trouble, and he clenched his fists with joy and applauded loudly.

She didn't pay attention, Stix on the side looked at her with a little pity, the battle on Mount Olympus, although she didn't go to watch the battle in person, but the whole process, her daughter Nyki, the goddess of victory, told her clearly. The only fortunate thing is that although Coos and Fauber were seriously injured, they were not captured after all, otherwise they would not have escaped the fate of being imprisoned.

Adros looked at the surrounding gods with strange expressions, and whispered in Styx's ear, "Are my grandfather and grandmother alright, Aunt Styx?"

"Fled. ”

Hearing this word, Adros can roughly guess what is happening, and if he is defeated, he will flee, and if he escapes, he will not be caught. But that's fine, if they don't have an accident, they can also go to find Apollo and a few of them.

At this moment, above the main hall, someone said in a loud voice: "Quiet, quiet." Suddenly, the noisy hall stopped clamouring.

Adros looked up to the side and saw several gods coming out from behind. On the left was a young man in armor and holding a trident, his face was extremely handsome, his eyes were aggressive, as turbulent as the sea, his blonde hair was wantonly spread behind his head, his steps were fast and powerful, and he reached the center of the main hall in a few steps.

On the right, there were three people, two middle-aged male and female deities in blue robes, one holding the hand of the goddess in the middle. This goddess wears a crown on her head, which is so graceful and luxurious that people unconsciously ignore her incomparably beautiful face, and likewise, inside her gorgeous robe, there is also a body of armor.

As the three of them came to the center of the main hall, the young man with the trident took the hand of the goddess from the middle-aged male god, walked a few steps forward, and looked around at the gods around him. Suddenly, he raised the goddess's hand. With his action, a cheer rang out all around.

"Brothers, sisters, today is my wedding to your sister Amphitrite. From today onwards, she and I will be indistinguishable from each other, and half of the throne of the god god that the god king has given me will belong to her. From today onwards, I will be one of your brothers and sisters, sharing the glory and suffering with you. My brother, the god-king Zeus, was very happy to hear that I would also be one of your brothers and sisters, and sent me a golden chariot as a gift. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the side of the main hall, a golden chariot drawn by a golden war horse.

"You may not know that this chariot was used by the first god-king Ouranos. This means that the God-King has given us the power to conquer the seas. Our parents, Okeanos, the Lord of the Seas, and Tessis, the goddess of the sea, were the masters of the seas appointed by the previous god-kings. And your brother I, Poseidon, am the king of the ocean who is now the god-king. Therefore, this vast and endless sea should be a paradise for our brothers.

However, I have heard that some gods who have been abandoned by the times often run out to make trouble. Even some of our brothers and sisters were injured by them, and some almost died. ”

After speaking, he pointed to several male and female gods standing next to him, their breath was faint and their faces were pale.

"Toe, Tike, Xante, Zexor, Utania, how did you get so badly wounded?"
