Chapter 16: Children of Zeus (II)

It was also at this time that the large hole in Zeus's skull began to emit golden light. The golden light shone on the entire hall from the inside out, and in this diffuse golden light, a graceful goddess in battle armor, holding a war spear in one hand and a sharp shield in the other, appeared above Zeus's head, and then slowly fell.

Hephaestus looked at the scene in front of him with a shocked expression, and muttered to himself: "An axe actually split a sister, and it can still have this effect." Thinking of this, he looked at Zeus's head again, and the big hole was now gone. He looked at the axe in his hand, and then at Zeus's skull, and was hesitating whether to do it again, maybe there would be another sister.

"Oops. ”

Suddenly, Hephaestus felt a pain in his head and looked up to see that it was his newborn sister who knocked himself on the head with the war in her hand.

"It's not big or small, I want to call my sister. ”

The goddess in battle armor raised her spear and looked at it, then looked at Hephaestus with a smile on her face, as if waiting for him to call her sister.

"You've just been born, how can you be a sister?" Hephaestus looked angry, this newborn sister was too lawless, but she had just been born, and she wanted to call herself his sister.

The goddess in battle armor glanced at him: "Don't think that if you are old, you can be divided into big and small, and if you are not convinced, ask the god king next to you." ”

Zeus looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression, at this moment, how could he not know that his headache during this time was all caused by this daughter.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Yes, in terms of age, she is indeed your sister. ”

Hephaestus was silent at the moment, this goddess who didn't seem to be easy to mess with, couldn't be said to be his sister.

"What's your name?"

"Athena. The goddess in battle armor also stared at Zeus, changing her banter and looking solemn and resolute.

"Athena? Although you are naturally smart and powerful, you lack experience, and this is not the time for you to stay in Olympus. So be it, Triton, the river god, your cousin, the messenger of the sea. Now that I have appointed him as the ruler of all rivers, go to him and learn how to be a qualified deity. ”

Triton, the river god, the son of Poseidon the Sea King and Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, was born only five or six years ago, and he was already like an adult god. A few years ago, under the peace of Zeus, the sea king Poseidon and the ancient sea god Pontus made a truce, and obtained the right to dispose of the river priesthood of the gods of Pontus on the continent. In order to gain Poseidon's support, he appointed Poseidon's eldest son, Triton, the messenger of the sea, as the head of the river gods. At this time, he sent Athena to Triton's side, and the reason is really inexplicable.

Athena nodded indifferently, she had just come out of Zeus's head, but the situation in the world had already been taught by others, coupled with her own divine strength and good combat skills, no matter how Zeus arranged, she was fearless.

······

Young Apollo ran through the blue sky with a harp in his hand and a silver bow on his shoulder, and golden arrows clanged in his quiver. He ran to the cave where Python Pitong lived, and sought revenge for Pitong's mother, Leto.

In the past few years, the python skin has never stopped chasing and killing the three of them, from the ocean to the mountains, and from the mountains to the forests, almost not giving them a chance to breathe. Even the aunt of the three Apollo siblings, the meteor goddess Asteria, was seriously injured by Pitong and her whereabouts are unknown.

However, Apollo's growth also surprised Pitong. In the first year, Pitong was able to seriously injure Apollo with a sweep of his tail at will, and Asteria was swept into the abyss in order to save Apollo. In the second year, although Apollo was still defeated by Pitong, he was able to fight and flee with his mother, the goddess Leto. In the third year, under the joint efforts of the mother and son, Pi Tong could no longer occupy the upper points. In the fourth year, the situation had been completely reversed, and Apollo alone had already begun to hunt down Pitong, but Pitong could only keep fleeing.

After several years of searching, Apollo finally found the cave where Pitong lived. It was full of cliffs, the entrance of the cave was facing the sky, the cave was pitch black, the water at the bottom of the cave was turbulent, and the water was churning with clouds of mist. These churning mist rendered the already dark snake cave even deeper.

Outside the entrance of the cave, Apollo's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he looked inside, and after looking at it for a while, he did not go directly in, but stuck at the entrance of the cave and began to play the harp. The sound of the piano is melodious and beautiful, and the music seems to connect the heavens and the earth, and the surrounding goddesses and elves all follow the sound and listen to it with fascination.

However, in Pitong's ears, the sound was not so beautiful, like a magic sound, constantly noisy in its ears, so that it could not get half of the peace. As Apollo continued to play the harp, Pitong could not take it anymore and crawled out of the cave, his huge scaly body coiling round and round between the rocks. Its weight weighed down the rocks and mountains, and with a roar destroyed everything around it, and the goddesses and elves fled in fear of it.

Pitong opened his bloody mouth, ready to swallow Apollo. The strings on Apollo's silver bow hummed, and his golden arrows rained down on Pitong.

Pi Tong exhausted all his means, rolling and shaking, and finally there were more and more arrows in his body, and the blood flowed more and more, and finally he couldn't move.

"Don't kill me, I'm a subordinate of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and I'm also a child of Gaia, the Mother Earth, and this is still the Mother Earth's Divine Revelation, if you dare to kill me, you will definitely be punished by the two supreme goddesses. At this time, it was very frightened in its heart, with its eyes like copper bells open and its voice hoarse.

The so-called divine manifestation is the place where the gods issue oracles, and in such a place, they are blessed by the gods and cannot kill here, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the gods.

Apollo pulled out the silver bow, put on the golden arrow, and looked at Pitong with a cold face: "I don't care whose divine revelation this is, you will definitely die today, whoever saves you is my enemy, no matter who it is, I don't care about fighting with her." As for Hera, I'll settle accounts with her later. ”

After speaking, as soon as his left hand was released, the golden arrow swooped out, directly piercing Pitong's forehead, and he died.

Looking at Pitong's corpse, Apollo looked a burst of joy, this beast who had been chasing and killing his family for many years was finally killed in his own hands, and then, he could find his sister, brother and aunt with peace of mind, and the family reunion was just around the corner.

"Audacious, to kill here. ”

A rough and cold voice came, and a huge hand like a mountain slapped towards Apollo. Apollo couldn't dodge, so he opened his silver bow and shot an arrow, but only shot it through, and the speed of the giant palm remained the same, and he continued to shoot.

The giant palm looking at the sky gave Apollo a feeling that he was not going to escape.

"Uria, you just killed a snake, why should you be serious?" In the sky, another domineering and gentle voice came from the sky.

On a sunny day, a thunderbolt slashed from the sky, and the last one came first, slashing at the mountain giant's hand, smashing it to pieces.

"What is the serpent, Zeus, didn't you listen to what it just said? It is a subordinate of your wife Hera, and now she is easily slain, have you asked her opinion?"

"Oh, Hera, is that true that Uria said that the serpent was your subordinate?" Zeus asked in a very flat tone, directly in the air.

"Naturally not, the serpent, which I drove out of Mount Olympus more than ten years ago, has nothing to do with me. Now that it is doing evil everywhere, ruining my reputation, and being slain by the gods below, I have to thank him. A cold and noble voice replied with a three-point coquettishness.

"Hmph, you husband and wife are colluding, of course what is it?" said the man named Uria in a strange tone.

"Uria, how are you doing?" As this voice came out, thunder and lightning roared in the sky, and the goddesses, spirits, and beasts under the ground fell to the ground in fright. Apollo, however, stared at the sky with a stubborn and proud expression, his eyes motionless.

"Gaia, the mother of the earth, is the mother of our gods and the grandmother of Zeus, and now that she is being humiliated by her own manifestations, shouldn't she make this person pay?"

"Pay the price. ”

"Pay the price. ”

······

With Uriya's words, the surrounding mountains, and even the demon beasts in the mountains, all spoke in unison.

Hearing this, Apollo suddenly turned his head, looked back at the stretching mountains, and didn't know where he didn't know, this one who had been clamoring to make himself pay the price was the ancient mountain god Uria, and it was his descendants who roared with him.

High in the sky, Zeus was silent for a while, and finally said: "It's okay, since you have become a god, you should talk about the rules of the gods." Apollo was killed by the God of Mother Earth and desecrated Mother Gaia, and punished him for serving for one year in the Delphi region. For a year, no divine power can be used, and the gods will jointly supervise it. Apollo, do you have any opinions?"

Apollo shook his head, didn't say a word, walked out, glanced at the surrounding mountains before leaving, his eyes were indifferent and cold, and said to the high sky: "Gaia, the mother of the earth, cannot be desecrated, but Apollo cannot be insulted either." Anyone who insults Apollo will pay a terrible price in the future. ”

There was a sneer in the air, Uria didn't even show his face, a god who had just been born for more than ten years, and it was far away to become the main god, and he dared to threaten himself. If there is a chance in the future, I don't mind letting him know about the power of the Lord God.

And the many gods of those mountains laughed out loud one by one, laughing at Apollo's inadequacy.
