Chapter 13: The Vanishing Adros

"Aunt Styx, thank you for taking care of me these days, I will take it to heart. But, as a god, I don't want to be blessed under your light and protected by you. I don't believe that the so-called fate can determine a person's life when they are just born. I have found a way to make me strong when I leave this time, and the next time I return, I will have the same power as you to fear all gods and men.

When I say goodbye, I wish I was protecting you, not you. When you receive this parchment, please also help to convey it to Sister Artemis, Aunt Hestia, Aunt Demeter, and Sister Persephone. Of course, if you have the opportunity to meet my mother Leto, as well as my aunt Asteria, my brother Apollo.

Please tell them that I love them and want to protect them. Love your little Adros. ”

After Styx went to see them off and left the parchment in Styx's room, Adros hurried to the banks of the River Styx, fearing that Styx would soon return and not be able to slip away.

Looking at the turbulent black river, Adros gritted his teeth, took out the small white jade bottle left by Xuan Ming for himself, swallowed the drop of essence blood in the bottle, and then took out the ice bead, swallowed it in the same gulp, and finally jumped towards the terrifying river.

Entering the river, Adros finally experienced what it was like when the two heavens of ice and fire appeared, he looked at himself, and the drop of essence blood entered his body, and immediately came to his heart, and with his heart beating, the essence of the blood was broken down little by little, and went to the whole body.

As soon as the ice beads were swallowed, a cold feeling immediately came, and he suddenly felt that his soul was about to freeze. Then, a stream of heat rises from the abdomen and travels to the whole body, slowly increasing the temperature.

The cold current swept through his internal organs, and after not staying, it went straight to his muscles and skin, and the hot current formed a golden-white flame in his abdomen, scorching his internal organs.

Outside of his body, the water of the River Styx continued to wash over his body, like a thousand knives, making him endure boundless pain, and his whole body twitched unconsciously.

In this way, the burning of his internal organs, the coldness of his skin and bones, and the washing of the water of the River Styx on his body, Adros felt as if he had entered the legendary eighteen layers of hell, and endured the harshest punishment in the world.

But after a moment's effort, his face was pale and he fainted in pain, and I don't know how long it took, in the boundless pain, he woke up again. In this way, in the midst of this river, which symbolizes hatred and vows, he floats and sinks along the river, waking up and dizzy, fainting and waking up.

Although he is the heir of the gods, he may be able to resist the invasion of the waters of the River Styx, but it is not enough to resist the cold and scorching heat brought by the ice beads handed over to him by Xuan Ming. This ice bead was formed as the ancestor witch Xuan Ming, who was in charge of the cold ice and rain and dew, with his lifelong supernatural powers, and was specially used to freeze the Sun Fire Divine Mangs of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Not to mention Adros, even his cheap father Zeus, his current strength may not be able to resist the cold from the source of chaos and the supernatural power composed of the flames in the center of the sun.

However, in Adros's heart, there is still a drop of Pangu essence blood condensed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, its divinity is extremely powerful, and it decomposes little by little, swimming from the heart to the five internal organs, hundreds of bones and nine orifices, and even the limbs, muscles, bones and skin. The cold snap and heat wave didn't deplete his body by a single point, and the essence and blood made up for it, making his flesh constantly strengthening.

And the water of the River Styx washed away the surface of his skin, strengthening his skin, so that he would not explode his body at the beginning when the ice and fire were mixed and the Pangu essence blood had not yet melted.

While Adros was settling in the River Styx, Styx was in a hurry. When she received Adros's parchment, she was shocked and hurriedly ran to the place where the gate of hell was, only to be told by the three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus, who was guarding the door, that Adros had not left the underworld through this door.

So she invited Persephone, Hestia, and Demeter again, and several anxious goddesses searched for a long time in this vast underworld, but finally found no trace of Adros's visit.

"After searching for so long, I still haven't found any trace of little Adros, and he may have left the underworld through a portal that we don't know about. Persephone said, looking at the three who had also been searched for nothing.

As soon as she said this, the other three felt that it was very likely, after all, the underworld was one of the oldest birthplaces in the world, and under this boundless darkness, no one knew how many secrets were hidden. Even if there are some passages that they don't know yet, it's also extremely normal.

"Well, Persephone continued into the underworld, looking for possible traces of him. Sister Styx, you are the eldest sister of the goddess of the ocean, so go and search in the vast sea. Demeter, you are the god who presides over the earthly harvest, so go and find it in the vast land. Hestia paused, a strange glint flashing in his eyes: "As for me, go and visit the oldest gods to see if one of them has found a way to make Adros above fate." ”

"We're all right, it's just that you, eldest sister, those ancient gods are not easy to talk to. Demeter worried, she had been walking on earth for a long time, and knew a little about those ancient gods, although they were not famous, but all of them had great strength.

Stix also said: "Indeed, those old fellows, one by one, have their eyes above the top, and do not take us newborn gods into their eyes. ”

Hestia glanced faintly to the east, and a trace of coldness flashed on his face that had always been as plain as water: "I will go to heaven and visit them one by one with the will of our god-king brother." Our family has been the ruler of the gods for almost a hundred years, but they have never taken us seriously, and it is time for a change. What the Titans were able to do, we have to do better than them. ”

"Yes, our family is the master of this world, and we should let those gods bow their heads. Persephone, who had always been pure and beautiful, was fanatical at this time.

Listening to Hestia and Persephone's words, Stix took a deep look at them, and knew that such a day would come, and the children of Cronus were not simple. She was a Titan, but her children were all in the service of Zeus, and she was caught in the middle, and she had long since decided not to bother with these fights. She just said to herself lightly in her heart, little Adros, where are you, Auntie misses you very much.

······

Above the endless ocean, a huge four-legged sea monster was wreaking havoc, and around it, any life was devoured by him, and a radius of several miles was a dead field. Some weak water monsters and fairies on the sea can only be helplessly sad as they watch this sea monster destroy their home.

At this moment, there was a sound of barking dogs, and then two white holy deer pulled a golden carriage appeared in their eyes, the reins on the carriage were all golden colors, and in the middle of the carriage sat a goddess of extreme youth and beauty, but her childishness had not completely subsided, she was wearing a short skirt with a waist and hunting boots, and holding a golden bow and arrows, and was riding the carriage on the waves. Behind her, followed by dozens of beautiful goddesses of the ocean and water nymphs, they surrounded her and worshipped her.

"It's the goddess of the hunt. ”

"It's the beautiful and heroic Highness Artemis. ”

······

Seeing this goddess appear, the water demons and sea fairies, who were already tired of this water monster, were extremely excited, and rushed to introduce this goddess to their companions around them. The person who came was none other than Adros's eldest sister, Artemis, who had been separated from him for two years.

Seeing this ugly sea monster, Artemis held high with a golden bow and silver arrows, and shot at the sea monster.

The sea monster had long since noticed Artemis's arrival, and shrugged off her, and when it saw the swift silver arrows in the air, it began to duck in a hurry. However, it dodged at a far speed that was not as fast as the arrow fired by the golden bow, and was shot in the left eye by an arrow.

The sea monster let out a terrifying roar, and above the sea, a huge wave was set off and swam towards Artemis.

Seeing this, Artemis was not in a hurry at all, and ordered the goddess behind him to disperse and surround the sea monster so that it would not escape. Then she drew her golden bow again, only this time, instead of an arrow shot from the string, it was a flood of arrows, densely packed with arrows, and shot towards the sea monster.

When the sea monster saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly sank into the sea, trying to avoid the arrows by the sea. It thought well, but instead of being hindered by the sea, the arrows shot at it in half of it, leaving it with a lot of holes.

With countless wounds on his body, the sea monster began to struggle in pain, and he didn't have the heart to attack anyone else. At this time, the goddesses of the ocean scattered around took out a huge black fishing net, trapped the sea monster in the net, and pulled it in front of Artemis and her car.

Artemis looked at this scene with satisfaction and shouted with a smile, "Let's go back." The afterglow of the setting sun on her blonde hair made it even more dazzling.

Back in Arcadia, Artemis pulled out of the space with a piece of parchment, the first time she had taken it out, she didn't know how many times. These were the last words that Styx had brought to him when he had come to the ocean from the underworld three years earlier, and they were the last words that Adros had left before leaving.

Usually, when she is with the goddesses of the ocean, she seems to be very happy all the time, but when she is alone, she feels helpless and self-blame.

Putting away the parchment, she decided it was time to leave.
