In the gorgeous and magnificent undersea palace, the beautiful hostess of this palace, the noble and generous Amphitrite, looked at the cold girl in front of her, who had surpassed herself.

"Artemis, have you really decided to leave the sea?"

If she first came five years ago, she often needed to follow behind, watch her fight, and help her when she was in danger. But now, on this ocean, she has become an existence similar to the goddess of war, and among the ancient sea god Pontus, few of his sons and daughters can match Artemis without making a move.

Her brothers and sisters, although they are higher in rank than Artemis, can't find one with more potential than her, and even now, it's hard to find anyone who can beat her. Amphitrite believes that this incomparably beautiful girl will shine brightly in the future.

Artemis looked at this ocean that had always taken good care of him and even saved his life many times, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he finally nodded.

"Aunt Amphitrite, as you must know, my divine power is actually more suitable for fighting in the dense mountains and forests than in the vast sea. There was a more important reason in her heart that she didn't say, in the past three years, she had charged everywhere, except for the lair of the sea god Pontus, she had traveled all over the big and small corners of the ocean, and found no trace of Adros. Now, it's time to go to the mainland, where Mother and Apollo are waiting.

Amphitrite bowed slightly, she had already seen this, but now in the war on the ocean, there is already little high-end combat power on her side, and Artemis's departure may be even more difficult.

"In that case, Auntie won't keep you. It's just that if you leave alone, I don't feel at ease, Ianta's sixty sisters and those twenty Mizusawa fairies have been fighting with you for the past few years, and you must be very familiar with them, so let them go with you. ”

After listening to Amphitrite's words, Artemis was shocked: "Don't, it's good for me to go alone, now the battle on the sea is in need of manpower, how can you follow me away?"

Amphitrite waved her hand: "We are three thousand sisters and three thousand brothers, how can we not have enough manpower, you are alone outside, and you need to be taken care of." Besides, your Aunt Styx is still there, so you don't have to worry about the situation. ”

Styx had already been on the ocean two years earlier. Although Artemis did not blame her, she herself was extremely remorseful, and did not meet Artemis except for asking someone to bring parchment and a few words by the way.

As soon as Amphitrite said this, Artemis no longer refused, she went to the mainland, the main purpose was to find people, naturally the more people the better.

Looking at Artemis's distant figure, Amphitrite said silently in her heart: "Little Artemis, I'm looking forward to it, what kind of goddess will you become in the future?"

Behind her, a figure walked out, also silently looking into the distance, it was Stix.

"If you are so reluctant, why don't you come out and meet. You know, she doesn't blame you. ”

"She doesn't blame me, but I'm sorry for the child, and I'll go see her when I find Adros. ”

······

Just as Artemis was heading to the mainland, Mount Olympus above the clouds was still so majestic and magnificent, but his master, the god-king Zeus, was in an extremely uncalm mood at this time, as if he was nervous and excited. He walked up and down the hall, looked inside from time to time, raised his footsteps, thought about it and took it back.

Above the temple, in addition to him, there are also some gods. Not only those gods who live in Olympus, but even Gaia, the mother of the earth, who has never been to the door, Rhea, the mother of Zeus, the goddess of time, who has lived in seclusion for many years, Hestia, the messenger of the god-king, who has only come once, and Demeter, the goddess of harvest who has cut off contact with Zeus, are also there. Like Zeus, they were nervous and excited.

"Zeus, can you please stop walking around and make us distracted. It was Hestia, who had been on Mount Olympus once three years earlier. But he only stayed for a while, took the scepter symbolizing the god-king from Zeus's hand, and wandered between the kingdoms of various ancient gods.

As soon as Hestia said this, Zeus stood still, but his expression was still not calm. Not only him, but others may not be much better.

At this time, in the sky, if the war drums sounded, the birds and beasts in the world were lying on the ground, trembling, and some monsters began to run wantonly, panicking. Then, at the back of Zeus's main hall, there was a cry of a baby, and all the sights vanished.

"The drums of war are like thunder, the beasts bow their heads, what a blank of battle, call you Ares, and go to fight for the glory of Olympus in the future. Zeus looked happily at the child Hera had brought out, and his heart was extremely happy, although this was not his first son, but it was the only son he and his favorite sister Hera.

Seeing that the boy was born unharmed, and that he was not interested in having a feast with the gods of Olympus, Hestia took his farewell to Zeus, and with her, Demeter, who was not there, and did not want to stay on Olympus for a moment.

"Hestia, whose country are you going to visit this time?" Before Hestia left, Gaia, the Earth Mother, looked at the God-King Scepter in her hand and couldn't help but ask. In the past three years, nearly ten ancient gods have come to complain to her, the current god king is even more domineering and tyrannical than Kronus back then, and his god envoys wear the god king scepter, proclaiming their divine power everywhere.

"Uria, the ancient mountain god, this is the last one. Hestia replied lightly, although Gaia was her grandmother, she did not have any affection for this Mother Earth Goddess.

The ancient mountain god Uria, one of the first three sons of the earth mother goddess Gaia, is the brother of the first god king Ouranos and the ancient sea god Pontus.

Seeing Hestia leave, Gaia could only ask Zeus, "What is she trying to do here?"

"I don't know about this, the eldest sister said that she wanted the gods to know about my existence, and before I could say yes, she snatched my scepter away. Zeus looked helpless, although in his heart, he was also very supportive of Hestia's action, but at this moment it was not the time for him to stand in front of the stage, so let her eldest sister take the first step.

"The God-King Scepter was created by our five primordial gods for the first god-king Ouranos, it is a symbol of honor and responsibility, and you can let her snatch it too?" Gaia said angrily, looking like she hated iron but not steel.

Zeus sneered: "The eldest sister wants to take it, what can I do, I can't do anything with her, right?" After speaking, he stretched out his fingers and teased Ares, who was sleeping peacefully in Hera's arms, he was so handsome and cute.

Unbeknownst to Zeus, there was a deserted island in the endless sea, where he and Hera's other son, Hephaestus, were working in a blacksmith's workshop to create a new ornament of his invention.

Hephaestus, who was born lame and ugly, was rejected by his mother Hera as soon as he was born, and covered up all his birth visions, so that Zeus did not know about his existence. Subsequently, she was thrown directly off Mount Olympus by Hera, who was angry.

Fortunately, another lover of Zeus, Eurynome, one of the Three Thousand Ocean Goddesses, had just come down from Mount Olympus, witnessed the scene, picked up the ugly Hephaestus, and carried him to the ocean.

Eurynoma was the daughter of Okeanos, Lord of the Sea, and Ctesis, the goddess of the sea, and the sister of Styx, the goddess of vows, Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea, and the late Metis, the goddess of wisdom, who befriended Zeus and gave birth to the Three Graces, who were symbols of femininity, grace, and beauty.

After Eurynome brought Hephaestus to the sea, he asked his good friend, Thetis, who was also an anti-war faction in the sea, to raise and educate him with him.

Thetis, the goddess of the sea, was the granddaughter of the ancient sea god Pontus, the daughter of Nereus, the god of the sea, and Doris, the goddess of the sea, and the wisest of their many daughters, who summoned hundred-armed giants to help Zeus rebel against the Titans during the Battle of the Titans.

Although these two sea goddesses are in different camps, they have been extremely good friends since childhood, and since Poseidon's wedding to Amphitrite, the situation in the sea has become inexplicably tense, and then it has set off a series of wars. The two goddesses simply took Hephaestus to a remote island, ignoring the great battles on the ocean, and devoted themselves to teaching the gifted and intelligent son of Zeus.

After Hephaestus grew up a little, the two goddesses built a blacksmith's workshop for him according to the attributes of his divine power, so that he could improve his divine power in this workshop and embark on the road to strength.

Hephaestus took the ornament in his hand, looked at it with satisfaction, and suddenly heard a noise outside, and limped out on his cane.

If Adros were here, he would have sighed even more, his sister Artemis and brother Apollo had grown fast enough, but this man, who was born nearly a year later than him, grew even faster, but at the age of about ten, he had already become a strong man with a full beard.

Thetis, the goddess of the sea, looked at this ugly child, with short legs and a full beard, and sighed in her heart: "If this child has a better appearance, it must be perfect." She was not married, so she took care of Hephaestus as if she were her own child, so she knew that his potential was far from being comparable to her own, and her brothers and sisters were far from being equal.
