Chapter 8 Prologue and Decision
"We were besieged by a group of Forkudes, and if it weren't for my brother-in-law Poseidon, we would have died. ”
Forkudes is the son and daughter of Forkus, the old man of the deep sea, and Keto, the danger of the sea, and they come in a variety of forms, mostly some terrifying monsters of the sea, including Gorgon, Siren, Gree, Ekudena, Ladon, Skola, Hesperides, etc.
The old man of the deep sea, Forkus, and the danger of the sea, Keto, are the children of the primeval sea god Pontus, and they, like Okeanos, have many children. The children of the two families play together on the ocean, so there are often conflicts.
"How can it be justified that it cannot be counted like this? ”
"We want revenge. ”
······
Listening to the chaotic discussion below, a smile flashed in Poseidon's eyes, and he tapped the ground a few times with the trident in his hand, and suddenly the hall became quiet again.
"The sons and daughters of Falkus and Keto have plagued the whole sea, so that all the beings of the sea have no peace. And I, the god of the sea recognized as the king of the gods, am ready to launch an army to sweep away these sea monsters and restore peace to the sea. Sons and daughters of Okeanos, will you join me in the crusade against these sea monsters and wage war against them? ”
"Go to war. ”
"Fighting. ”
"Be sure to let the sons of Pharcus know how powerful the sons of Okeanos are. ”
······
The shouts and shouts of war below, the voices of war, Poseidon laughed loudly: "Well, in return, you will become the masters of the seas, and share the glory of the sea with me. ”
With that, he took Amphitrite's hand and came to the throne above the main hall. From beginning to end, his wife, Amphitrite, did not say a word.
No one knew that this wedding opened the prelude to hundreds of years of war on the ocean, and it was also the prelude to the real establishment of the Olympus god system.
In the crowd, looking at the messy scene in front of him, Stix sneered: "Zeus's brothers, as expected, are good means like him." ”
After listening to Styx's words, Adros agreed. First to get closer, then to create contradictions, then to share the same hatred, and finally to promise heavy benefits, Poseidon's lips and tongue and means are indeed amazing, no wonder he was able to become the only overlord of the sea in the end, the only sea god in the hearts of all beings.
Speaking of which, compared with the powerful and numerous Titans, the three Zeus brothers are actually alone. Although he defeated Kronos, he did not have the strength to rule the gods. But in the end, it was the three of them who became the overlords of the sky, the sea, and the underworld.
Although Zeus became a god-king and was high on Mount Olympus, there were few people available. However, he used his charming charm and handsome face to hook up with goddesses everywhere for his own use, and finally had some powerful children to fight for him, so that he sat firmly on the throne of the god king, and the gods were afraid of him.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, came to the ocean alone, and faced the powerful ancient god Pontus and the large number of Titan god Okeanos, it was impossible to move an inch. Looking at him now, he is planning to use marriage to pull the Okeanos family into the chariot, and suppress the Pontus family first.
I just don't know, Hades, the king of Hades, who also went to the underworld alone, used what means to sit on the throne of the underworld?
This was followed by a lively feast, where the gods drank wine and watched the beautiful sea nymphs dance. All the people took turns to toast to Poseidon, and the Okeanos couple watched this scene with a smile on the high platform. With many heirs, they are most concerned about the future and fate of their children, and now Poseidon and Zeus have both received their favors, and they will definitely be rewarded in the future.
As for the Styx in the corner, they were chatting with Amphitrite, the queen of the sea.
"Eldest sister, I heard that the four siblings of Niki and their four siblings already live on Mount Olympus, and the god-king has great trust in them. Amphitrice asked Ammitrite as she looked at the youthful and beautiful Artemis.
Hearing Amphitrite's question, Stix sighed: "Those four unfilial children, who do not know how to serve their own mothers, are by Zeus's side, just like his children. ”
Styx and Paris had four children, Niki, the goddess of victory, Kratos, the god of strength, Ross, the god of passion, and Bea, the goddess of violence. Zeus was very fond of Styx's four children because they were loyal fans of Zeus. On Mount Olympus today, several of them and the sun god Helios and the moon god Selene, who defected to Mount Olympus not long ago, are already the most important combat force in the hands of Zeus.
Hearing her sigh, Amphitrite comforted: "There is nothing wrong with this, Zeus is the king of the gods, and by his side, not only does his strength grow rapidly, but he also does not have to worry about following in the footsteps of his brother-in-law." She also couldn't figure out why her brother-in-law Paris was imprisoned in the abyss by Zeus, and his children obeyed Zeus.
"Is this child the child of Zeus? If Metis hadn't died, her child would have been this old. Of all the children of Okeanos, Styx and Amphitrite had the best relationship with Metis, the goddess of wisdom, who was even sadder than their parents after he was killed by Zeus.
"Hmm. Styx looked depressed, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong when he obeyed his father's arrangement and helped Zeus win the Battle of the Titans.
Seeing that Styx was depressed, Amphitrite bypassed the topic and said to Artemis, "Your name is Artemis, isn't it? Your mother is now missing, so why don't you live with me on the ocean?" She was very fond of this young goddess, even more than many of her own sisters.
"Thank you, Aunt Amphitrite, I'll think about it. Artemis's expression changed when he finished Amphitrita's words, and it was extremely complicated.
······
After the wedding feast, the sisters and brothers Adros and Artemis followed Styx back to Arcadia, accompanied by many goddesses of the sea. It was the favorite place of many of Okeanos' daughters, but his sons did not come here very often.
"Aunt Styx, I want to ask you for one thing. Artemis's tone was very solemn, and his face was resolute.
"Say, little Artemis, if you can do it, I'll do it for you. Seeing Artemis so serious, Stix solemnly replied.
Artemis glanced at Adros next to him and said, "I want to ask Aunt Styx to take care of little Adros, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of him." ”
Aderos was shocked when he heard this: "Sister Artemis, what are you going to do?"
"Mother and Aunt Astyria, with Apollo I don't know where to hide, but there is nothing we can do. I thought, we are too weak, if we are as strong as Poseidon, will Hera dare to send people to hunt us down? This ocean is about to become a battlefield, and I will join this war and become a powerful god. Artemis clenched the golden bow in his hand, looked at the blue ocean, and said to Adros.
After a long silence, Adroms slowly raised his head: "Have you already decided?" For Artemis to make this decision, Adroms didn't want to object, he wanted to become strong as soon as possible, Artemis naturally wanted to.
Artemis nodded, she thought about it all the way in her mind, and after returning to Arcadia, she decided to make this decision. Only then could she no longer take care of her young brother, and had to entrust it to Styx, the trusted goddess of vows.
Stix looked at them and sighed, "Don't worry, you can go here in Arcadia to prepare for the upcoming tactics." As for little Adros, I will take her to Hades. ”
After the Battle of the Titans, she received a promise from Zeus to take charge of the rivers of Hades and guard the roads between the world and the underworld.
There are four rivers in Hades, and the one she presides over is what the gods call the River Styx, the River of Suffering, the River of Oath, the River of Wrath, and the only way to enter the underworld.
When Adros heard that Styx was going to take him to the underworld, his eyes moved, he had planned to grow up alone, but now he heard that Styx was going to take him to the underworld, which was exactly what he wanted. He knew from the Underworld that taking Pangu's essence blood and the ice bead she gave him in the River Styx would have a different effect. These days, he has been struggling with how to get to the River Styx, but he didn't expect that the opportunity was right in front of him.
After a few days in Arcadia with Artemis, Styx took him on his way to the underworld.
Artemis stood on the top of the mountain in Arcadia, and the breeze caressed her beautiful hair, looking incomparably beautiful. She looked at the distant backs of Styx and Adros, and said secretly in her heart: "Little Adros, you wait for your sister." When I can fight Hera, I will go to Hades and fetch you back. ”
Next to her, some young ocean goddesses were trying to comfort her, but she turned around and smiled: "Sisters, let's go, let's hunt." As he spoke, he took out his golden bow and went down the mountain first. Seeing this, those ocean goddesses and water fairies also happily followed behind her.
······
"Aunt Styx, are we going to the Underworld now? "Adros had heard of the name of the underworld, but he didn't know where it was.
After coming out of Arcadia, Styx took Adros all the way west, without stopping.
"The entrance to the underworld is indeed in the Far West, but let's not rush it, let's go see an old friend of mine first. Styx looked at the immature Adros, and suddenly remembered an interesting story that Artemis told him, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes narrowed: "That's a very beautiful goddess, little Adros, you have to see it, and let Apollo and Artemis snatch it to you as a wife in the future." ”
"Ugh. Adros looked bitter, he knew this, he didn't joke with Apollo Artemis in the first place, and now he is always ridiculed.
