Chapter 21: The Temple of the Heart of the Earth

"Don't hurry up and get dressed. ”

Demeter looked at his daughter in front of him, and at the black-haired young man he had never seen before, and he was ashamed and angry. Next to their own temple, in this wilderness, how could the two of them ······

Looking at Persephone, who was silent, Demeter couldn't help but ask, "Who is this human being, and how did you get involved with him?"

"His name is Iathion, and he is a human whom I met two years ago. After Persephone finished speaking, he began to sob, and tears hung on his beautiful face, which made people feel distressed.

"Don't cry, cheating is cheating, I don't blame you, your father, three days and two cheating, I don't see anything. Demeter said hurriedly, she didn't expect that her question would make her daughter, who had always been strong, cry.

Persephone choked up: "It's not because of this, it's because the underworld has been occupied by others, and Hades' life and death are unknown, so I can't help crying." ”

Adros, whose name is Iatheon, is now in the mood of eating melons, sitting and watching Persephone's acting skills, and still wondering which expression is done well.

"What are you talking about? The underworld is occupied, what's going on?"

Persephone then told what had happened to her in the underworld, but in the process, she completely removed Adros and made it Styx to take her to the land of the polar night alone. This is also Adros's request, he didn't think of being familiar with Tartarus, the Lord of the Abyss, and Gaia, the Earth Mother, if he is an outsider, if he is remembered by any of the two of them, it is estimated that he will die a miserable death.

After listening to Persephone's story, Demeter couldn't help but scold: "You are really, such a big thing has happened, and you still have the heart to cheat here." I look at this human being, and I seem to be still happy to see you like this, and it is also a curse for this kind of person to stay, I will help you kill him first, and then go to Zeus. ”

"Aunt Demeter, do you want to do this, how can we say that we are also a family. Adros sweated profusely, and then looked at Persephone with an aggrieved look.

Persephone laughed in his heart, and told you to pretend in front of your mother, but she still pleaded: "No, mother, I have finally found a lover I like, and if you kill him, I will not agree." ”

Demeter sighed, "Well, I know you like Adros, but it's just that you two are married. Instead of looking for such a human who is similar to him, it is better for me to create an opportunity for you and Adros to cheat on you. ”

Persephone was suddenly depressed: "Forget it, mother. He is married to the first beauty among the gods, how can he be willing to associate with me, I still don't want to humiliate myself. After speaking, his eyes flickered, and he was facing Adros, and there was a smile in it.

"Hey, I said sister, you're really talking nonsense with your eyes open, what are we doing at this time?" Adros thought shamelessly.

"Whoever said that my daughter is so good-looking, I don't believe that little guy would have no idea. ”

"Well, it's Aunt Demeter who knows me. Adros's heart was full of approval.

"Okay, if you don't want to kill him, forget it, let's go to Olympus. Demeter glanced at the strange Iathion, took him to heart, and was ready to find an opportunity to deal with it later, and pulled Persephone away.

Looking at their distant backs, Adros said to himself, "The great war may start soon, so we must hurry up and find the Lord of the Night to prepare." ”

······

"What do you say, the underworld is occupied by Tartarus, the Lord of the Abyss, and the situation of Hades is unknown. ”

Zeus looked at Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, and Persephone in front of him, and his heart rolled like a stormy wave. In the past few days, Zeus has been in the mortal world, chasing the beautiful Phoenician princess Europa with all his might, and before the people have taken it, the young Hermes came to send a message, and the gods are waiting for him in the main hall.

After I came back, I didn't expect to hear such a terrifying news. The original monster Typhon has not yet broken through to the master, and it is difficult for them to solve it, and the abyss master, this is a primordial god who emerged from chaos, it is estimated that even the gods of Olympus are together, and it is difficult to repel him.

For a moment, Zeus fell into a deep silence, not knowing what to do.

Demeter and Persephone were worried that Zeus would ignore them, so they called Hestia and Poseidon together, but they didn't expect that Zeus, who had always been decisive, really hesitated and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Go to Mother Earth for help, Zeus. Hestia sighed leisurely, among the gods present, she could be said to be the deity who disliked the Earth Mother Gaia the most, and the one who was least liked by the Earth Mother Gaia. But at this time, she couldn't think of any other way to ask for the help of Gaia, the Earth Mother.

"It's just that the last time in the Typhon Rebellion, Mother Earth ignored us, and this time she may not take action. Zeus put down the scepter in his hand and sighed helplessly.

Athena on the side raised her eyebrows, stood up and said: "This is different, the last time Typhon came to trouble Olympus, it was because Typhon was also her heir, and she didn't care who won or lost." But this time it's different, Tartarus occupies the underworld, but it is not the same as we occupy the underworld. The underworld is in the hands of the god Olympus, and some of her opinions will be listened to more or less, but Tartarus may not take her seriously. ”

After listening to Athena's words, the gods all nodded, feeling reasonable.

"Go, Zeus, if it's too late, Brother Hades may be killed by Tartarus. Hera spoke up, and what she said surprised all the gods, Hera hadn't called Hades her brother for decades. Her title pleased Hestia, Demeter, and Poseidon, and they felt that Hera had not forgotten the deep affection between them.

Zeus looked at Hera, the god queen next to him, and this was the first thing Hera said to him after the last time he punished her.

When Hera saw him coming, she quickly glanced away, looked out of the main hall, and said no more.

Zeus smiled and picked up the god-king scepter: "Gods of Olympus, come with me to ask me and Hades' grandmother, the great primordial god, the Earth Mother Gaia, for help, if the Earth Mother refuses us, don't be discouraged, we will rely on our own strength to desperately save Hades from the underworld." ”

Hearing Zeus's order, all the gods were satisfied, and everyone wanted to see a god-king who valued feelings, not a ruthless king who could give up even his fellow brothers.

The gods all have the same thoughts, today he can give up his brother Hades, tomorrow he is in danger, will he also be abandoned by Zeus. Now Zeus's actions tell them that it won't.

······

At this time, Zeus came to the Temple of the Heart of the Earth for the third time, the oldest temple of Mother Gaia, and the place where she lived for a long time.

The first time Zeus came here, when he had just rescued his siblings and was preparing for war with the god Titans, he wanted to get the support of Gaia, the Earth Mother, but that time the Earth Mother did not see him;

The second time Zeus came, it was when Typhon wreaked havoc on the earth, destroying many of the human races on the earth. Zeus came here to ask Gaia, the Earth Mother, to stop Typhon, but the Earth Mother still did not see him;

Now this is the third time he has come and brought with him all the important gods of Olympus. Five of their siblings, as well as a dozen of their descendants, will come in the name of their family and ask Mother Earth to save her grandson, Hades.

This time, the divine attendant guarding the door did not disappoint Zeus and took them in directly. It can be said that not only Zeus, but all the Olympians behind him entered this ancient temple for the first time.

Different from the nobility of the Temple of the Gods of Olympus, different from the luxury of the Atlantis Poseidon Palace, and different from the solemnity of the Hades Hades in the underworld, this temple of the center of the earth gives people the feeling that there is only one, simple and vast.

The entire temple is made of huge stones, and it is said that it is a palace, but it is actually a stone temple.

In front of her, there are ten Titan gods, the rulers of the previous gods, except for Cleos who is locked in the abyss and Kronus who has wandered away, all of whom are quietly listening to Mother Earth's lectures.

The path of the main god is nothing more than the path of the combination of divine power and the law, and it is also the path of familiarity with the law, these Titan gods are talented, plus they are in charge of the divine court, they naturally reach this level of realm, and there seems to be no difficulty. But above the main god, for thousands of years, it seems that there has been no breakthrough of the gods. This time, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, Typhon, showed his strength on Mount Olympus, which made these Titans who were older than Typhon feel the pressure. At the suggestion of Iapetus, all the Titans gathered together and asked Gaia, the Earth Mother, to explain to them the path above the Lord God.

Even the Okeanos, who are dedicated to nurturing offspring, and the Koos and Hyperions, who are enemies, have come together to put aside their prejudices and avoid missing this rare opportunity.

There are no visions of the sky, and there is no wonder of the golden lotus of the earth, and the speech of the Earth Mother is peaceful and simple, but it is directly pointed to the current confusion of the Titans, and they keep nodding their heads, which is obviously a great benefit.

Just as the Titans could hear it, Gaia, the mother of the earth, suddenly paused, quietly looked at the descendants in front of her, and the quiet and kind Yurong was silent, and then said lightly: "Let them all come in." ”

Then, Zeus, the god-king, took the gods of Olympus and entered from the outside.

After coming in, Mother Earth didn't wait for them to speak, and said lightly: "Sit down." Then she continued to talk about the way above the Lord God that she had not yet finished speaking.
