Chapter 32: The Soul of Oedipus is a curse

In the hearts of human beings, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, is actually not a very respected deity, compared to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of hunt, who are also the gods of Olympus, she is much worse in terms of fame and influence on mankind.

Not to mention the Olympian god king Zeus and the god queen Hera, although Zeus did not do anything good in the world, but human beings are very in awe of them.

Even the two rising stars, Hermes and Dionysus, the god of wine, now have a faint influence in the human world that has surpassed Aphrodite.

There is no way to do this, Aphrodite was not the natural god of Olympus, plus her husband Adros offended the god king Zeus to the end, and her daughter offended the sea king Poseidon to the end. In addition, over the years, Aphrodite was outside the territory, and the oracle did not go out much.

There are still temples of Aphrodite in this world, which is already a rare thing, and how much influence can be expected.

But for Oedipus, it didn't matter how influential the gods were, the key was Aphrodite's priesthood, which was a pain for him that would never be forgotten.

Love and marriage, this is the tragedy of his life, this is the source of his pain.

But there was no way, only Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, gave him such a chance to embark on the path to godhood. He didn't want to become a god, and he wanted to end his sinful life in this pain and remorse, but a word spoken by the god of love and beauty changed his mind.

"I once heard my husband say that fate is not immutable, and that manpower to the extreme does not necessarily mean that it cannot change the arrangement of fate. You've been fooled by fate, don't you want to be the first human to change your fate?"

Aphrodite's husband, Oedipus, had heard that it was Adros, the god of roads and directions who had only built temples in ruined Troy. His words made Oedipus feel emotional, and finally made up his mind and embarked on this path of human godhood.

"Honorable Lord God, please tell me what do you need me to do?"

Aphrodite looked at the sea in the distance with indifferent eyes, and said lightly: "I need you to divide a part of your soul for me, so that I can carry out a curse." As for the loss caused by the division of your soul, I will give you a golden apple to make up for you. ”

Hearing Aphrodite's order, Oedipus was stunned, there are so many demigods and gods in the world, why use his soul. Thinking of this, Oedipus's face could not help but change, and he pleaded: "Dear Lord God, may I ask which human has offended you? Please tell me who he is, and I will make him pay a terrible price." ”

Rather than a curse made with her own soul, Oedipus felt that it would be better for the enraged-looking goddess to kill the one who had offended her. Otherwise, there may be another tragedy like him.

Aphrodite shook her head: "It's not human, and for humans, there is no need to make such a complicated curse. This time there was a god who was disturbing my business and was going around slandering my reputation. If I don't teach her a lesson, the gods of heaven and earth will probably think that Aphrodite is a god to be bullied. ”

Hearing that it was to deal with the gods, Oedipus didn't bother anymore, and without saying a word, he directly split out a part of his soul and handed it to Aphrodite. Of course, after her soul was split, her face was pale, and she was almost curled up in pain, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Aphrodite waved his hand to take this part of his soul, and then gave him a golden apple. This was when Hercules was about to complete the twelve trials, and she gave Hercules a task to get three golden apples from the sacred garden of Hera, the queen of heaven.

This golden apple has an unexpected effect on the treatment of injuries, even when Adros was attacked by Zeus's lightning artifact, Hera, the queen of heaven, could use it to help Adros recover from his injuries, not to mention Oedipus, who was only in the demigod realm.

"Alright, you go and recover from your injuries. ”

With a wave of his hand to make Oedipus retreat, Aphrodite's eyes lit up with a cold light, and it was finally time for the lowly goddess to pay.

"Are you sure your curse will work?"

Eris, the goddess of discord, looked at Aphrodite, who seemed to be full of confidence, and was looking forward to the curse that the goddess was about to perform, but worried about whether the curse would succeed.

"Those guys, it's just the god realm, plus Apat is there to help, there will be no problem. ”

"Okay, I'll just wait to see the show. ”

······

Since the marriage of Poseidon, the king of the sea, and his ex-wife, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, there has been a wedding that has a great impact on the entire sea pattern.

One of the protagonists of the wedding, similar to the last one, is still the daughter of Okeanos, the lord of the ocean, but no longer Amphitrite, but Diony, the goddess of the ice sea.

The other protagonist is the ancient god of the sea, Pontus, and the son of the goddess of the sea, Tarasa, the god of the sea. Like his sister, Harya, the goddess of the sea, Gaion is a deity who symbolizes the sea. However, Hariyah represents the waters of the deep sea, while Caion represents the waters of the shallow sea.

The seas are now divided into five forces, and the union of these two gods is believed by the gods to be an alliance between Okeanos, the lord of the seas in the southern seas, and Taratha, the goddess of the seas in the northern seas. In fact, it is true, whether it is the children of Okeanos or the descendants of Thalassa, they are already declaring this covenant to the gods.

At this time, Gai Ion was already standing in the palace with a happy face, waiting for the arrival of his long-cherished wife, with a bright smile on his face.

Unlike the last wedding between Poseidon and Amphitrite, because it was more of a declaration of war than a wedding, there were no outsiders at that wedding except for Poseidon's vassals and the Okeanos family.

This time the wedding was different, and Okeanos didn't know what to think about, so he invited the gods from all walks of life to watch, and many of the gods were indeed invited.

Not to mention the others, even among the twelve Titans, there are several comes, the lord of the sky Hyperion and Thea, the god of light, the mother of Zeus, the goddess of time, Rhea, and the god of weather, Cleos.

On the other hand, although the ancient god of the sea, Pontus, no longer had any contact with the goddess of the sea, but at the wedding of this son, he still let several children born to Gaia, the friend of the sea, Nereus, the wonder of the sea, Taumas, the wrath of the sea, the fury of the sea, the danger of the sea, and the power of the sea, Eurybia, be present together.

The goddess of the sea, Tarasa, didn't have a good impression of these gods, who were born from her ex-husband's relationship with her mother, but the strength of these gods was no less than her, and it was the day her son got married, so she didn't see them.

In addition, there were some gods present, all of whom were scattered gods on the seas, and they did not dare to offend any of the big forces, and when they heard that there was a wedding, they hurriedly ran over to give gifts.

"Okeanos, why hasn't your daughter come here yet?"

Almost all the gods who watched the ceremony had already arrived, waiting for the heroine of the wedding to appear, but the heroine never appeared.

Okeanos also felt strange, and hurriedly called his eldest son Akru, and asked him to take a look, what the hell are those daughters doing?

Her daughter, Diony, the god of the ice sea, would be sent by some of the other daughters, as had already been promised. It's just that his daughters, for some reason, have never appeared.

Okeanos didn't believe that anything else could happen to his daughters on this ocean. You know, Styx, Amphitrite, Eurynome, Cleymene plus Diony, who is about to get married, these are a total of five main gods, except for the master, what else can happen?

Before Akrus had even gone out, he felt several gods rushing towards him at great speed, and before the gods could see it, they had already appeared on the island where the gods were.

"Cleomene, you're all here, what about Diony, why didn't you bring her with you?"

The gods who came, the eldest daughters that Okeanos had just thought of, had all come here, except for Diony, who was about to marry.

Cleomene said indignantly: "Where is Dione, I have to ask this future husband of Dione, and he asked his sister Haria to come and take Dione out in advance, and we don't know where he received it." ”

Hearing Clemene's words, Tarasa, the goddess of the sea, turned her head to look, and sure enough, she didn't notice that her eldest daughter, Haria, the goddess of the sea, was not here.

"Caion, did you tell your sister that you want her to invite the goddess of the ice sea?"

Hearing his mother's question, Gai Eon's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, his sister Haria came to him, saying that he was going to do something sorry for himself and let him forgive her.

At that time, Gai Ai was indulging in the longing for married life, and was in a very good mood, so he said directly to his sister: "It's okay, no matter what my sister does, I won't blame you." ”

Thinking of this, Gai Ion thought of his sister Haria's opposition to his wedding, and even directly wanted his mother to cancel the wedding, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

She wouldn't do anything to the beautiful Diony, would she?

Gai Eon didn't dare to think any further, and rushed out like crazy, letting him go to an island somewhere to the east, and the speed was extremely fast, as if he was desperate.

Seeing Caion running so desperately, the goddess of the sea, Tarasa, hurriedly said, "Caion, where are you going?"

It's just that the god of the sea is in a hurry and in a hurry, how can he still have time to reply, he is now thinking about finding his sister.
