Chapter 18: Goodbye, Olympus
In the end, Aphrodite did not come down from Olympus with Adros, but Adros was not disappointed at all, because this time, Aphrodite opened her heart to him, her origin, her mission, her purpose, Adros was clear.
After the original god-king Ouranos was seized by the scythe of the Titans, castrated his lower body and fell into the sea, Aphrodite, a goddess of love and beauty, was born. In other words, Aphrodite and the Titans are actually gods of the same generation, and they can be regarded as the grandmothers of Adros.
Before Aphrodite was born on the sea, he was taught by the first god-king Ouranos, whether it was the use of divine power or the laws of communication, until a hundred years later, when Aphrodite was born, and Ouranos left.
Innate and cultivated by a powerful god, Aphrodite was born a powerful main god, and on the same day defeated the son of Pontus, the wrath of the sea, Phocus, who coveted her beauty.
Since her birth, Aphrodite has sought seclusion and does not care about the world, so there are few rumors of her among the gods. It wasn't until the beginning of the Typhon Rebellion that Ouranos, who had not been seen for a thousand years, began to contact Aphrodite and ordered her to try her best to break into the interior of Mount Olympus and become an important member of them.
The rest of the matter is also clear, Aphrodite fell to Olympus, and then became the god-king god of love and beauty, and married Adros, originally to complete the task given to her by Ouranos.
Now that humanity has just been born, it is a good time to spread the power of God, and even Ouranos once told her how to use human faith to temper the power of the law. Therefore, Aphrodite communicated with Adros for a night, and finally made Adros's waist sore, before agreeing to her to continue on Mount Olympus.
Before leaving, Adros kissed Aphrodite's plump lips vigorously and said reluctantly: "Every year after the autumn harvest, I will go to your temple in Paphos to watch the celebration of your people dedicated to you with you, remember to wash and wait for me." When he said this, he smiled evilly.
Aphrodite's cheeks were slightly red, Yurong was shy for a while, looked to the side, and when she saw that there was no one else, she hated and said, "Don't wash it." ”
Adros laughed: "That's fine, I'll wash it for you." ”
After that, Adros did not stay long in Aphrodite's palace, so he said goodbye to Aphrodite, and then went to Artemis's hunting temple to say goodbye to his mother Leto and his brother and sister.
Compared with Apollo's indifferent look, Leto and Artemis mother and daughter were obviously a little sad, and even Artemis was dissatisfied: "Really, in order to help that woman, even Olympus can't stay." ”
Although Leto didn't say anything, he looked at Adros's eyes and showed a hint of blame.
Adros also understood that his mother and sister had not let go of the fact that Hera had sent people to hunt down and kill their family. He didn't want to say more, although Hera was good to him, but the fault was the fault, and he just smiled faintly: "I just happened to be tired of staying on Mount Olympus and wanted to go down for a walk." If my mother and sister miss me, every year on this month of our birthday, I will accompany you at my sister's temple of Artemis in Ephesus. ”
Leto could only nod and agree, her other pair of children, including herself, were worshiped in the world on Mount Olympus, and their strength could be improved quickly, and it was impossible to walk with Adros in the world all day long.
Perhaps it is Olympus that is the seat of the orthodox divine court of this heaven and earth, not to mention other gods, even Adros feels that on Mount Olympus, the divine power grows faster than other places.
······
After leaving Olympus, Adros set his first stop in the underworld, where he retreated for three years, and he didn't know how the goddesses in the underworld were doing.
He went all the way to the west and found that almost everywhere in the world were building cities, and those legendary warriors, mountain daffodils, and even some gods had become the craftsmen who built cities. Tall cities have risen from the ground to give human beings a place to live and work in peace and contentment. After the city was built, the first thing to do was to build a temple of the gods and worship the gods of Olympus.
The status of Olympus is best found in the human world, and all the non-Olympian gods, except for the Mother Gaia and the temple, have survived since a long time ago, and the other gods have no temples.
It was very simple for them to get human sacrifices, to take refuge in Olympus, and to become the gods of the Olympian gods. Of course, if the strength is strong enough to become a god, Zeus will not be stingy with a godhood.
For example, the two brothers, Andes and Oliberos, defected to Olympus with the strength of the soon-to-be-main gods, which made Zeus very happy. He divided the former into the Andean mountain god, guarding an important gateway to the Kaos god system, and the latter directly became the mountain god of the sacred mountain of Olympus, guarding the court of gods for the gods.
Among the gods between heaven and earth, Zeus controls the most is the mountain god position, after all, the ancient mountain god Uria was destroyed, and almost all his descendants were killed, leaving many mountain god positions vacant. The gods knew this, so many gods who could increase their strength with the help of the mountain god priesthood turned to Olympus one after another.
Seeing the situation in the world, Adros looked up at the starry sky and secretly thought: "If you have a chance, you must go to the extraterrestrial starry sky, otherwise I, the North Star God, will probably become the Emperor of Ziwei." ”
······
Coming to the underworld again, Adros instantly discovered many changes, and there were many more gods in the underworld that he didn't know. Patrol the underworld, manage ghosts, and make the vast underworld no longer as loose as it used to be.
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Adros did not stay long, avoiding the patrolling gods, and flew towards the Styx.
"Styx, I am the river god of the underworld promised by Hades King Hades personally, and you have to hand over these Styx rivers today if you don't hand them over. ”
"Deramine, I am canonized by Zeus, the god king, the gods of heaven and earth, all know that I am the goddess of the river Styx, and even this river of oaths, the gods only know that it is called the river of Styx. ”
Hearing this name, Adros's face changed. If he remembered correctly, among the eight divisions of the underworld, the lord of the river tribe was called Diramone.
He hurried to the palace at the source of the River Styx, and saw from afar that two groups of people were facing each other, on one side was the goddess of oaths Styx and several of her subordinate Styx gods, and on the other side, a group of gods from the abyss, because one of them, Adros was impressed, it was the son of the leader of the Abyss River tribe, who pursued the first beauty of the abyss, Odora.
"I also know this, but Zeus is just a god king in the mortal world, how can he take care of the affairs of the underworld. I advise you to hand over the Styx, but for me to be a god, I can consider continuing to let you be in charge of the Styx. Next to Sa'o, a middle-aged deity who looked seven points like him laughed loudly.
Adros said in his heart: "It seems that this person should be the father of Sa'o, Diramine." ”
I only heard Styx sneer: "In a hundred years, no one has ever dared to say that I became a god." Don't you want to be Lord of the River Styx? Here you go, see if you can afford it. ”
As her words fell, a huge black wave, like a water dragon, rolled up from the river of oaths and swooped down on the gods in the abyss.
Dilamone's heart was shocked, although he came out of the abyss for the first time, but the power of this oath river was also heard, and he hurriedly used his divine power to push his son Sawa and other subordinates away, and then with a stroke of his hand, a water-like barrier blocked him in front of him, and the river that Styx drew out of the Styx River was immediately blocked by this barrier.
Stix sneered, "How much do I think you can block?"
Then, dozens of water dragons flew out in unison, almost covering the surroundings, and all of them swept towards the gods who came from the abyss.
Shocked by this, Dramene stretched the water barrier to barely block the water, but his hands kept shaking, which was obviously a sign of lack of strength. He couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, he shouldn't have come to the River Styx to find trouble with the goddess of the River Styx, and he should have lured her out.
"Hurry up. He hurriedly said to the subordinates behind him, then took out a hand, took out a double-strand river fork, and slashed forward, and a passage appeared.
Ao and the other gods of the abyss also know that the water in the river Styx of this oath cannot be easily touched, and the divinity of divine power will be erased if they are not careful.
"Are you okay?"
A young man in a green robe, from the dark waves of the sky, walked out leisurely, as if he was not at all worried about the harm of the Styx water to him, standing at the end of the path cut by Diramone, holding a black longbow and riding a red arrow.
"Is that you, Adros?"
When Sao saw the visitor, he looked surprised, and then he was very nervous. The person who came to him was an old acquaintance, but the relationship was not good, and he was once defeated by him. Especially the bow and arrow in his hand, which had seriously injured the god of the goddess Philusa, the lord of the spiritual department, at the beginning, and the golden-white terrifying flame made him remember it vividly.
Sure enough, as soon as Adros let go of his hand, he saw a red streamer slashing, and an arrow pierced into the heart of his subordinates beside him, and then golden-white flames rose up. And the gods in the abyss don't even seem to have time to react, and the power and speed of the sun-shooting bow, even if Adros doesn't pull it all away, it can't be stopped by these miscellaneous gods.
The god who was shot screamed in pain in the flames and rolled on the ground, but there was nothing Sa'o could do, he was not the Lord of the Abyss, not even the Lord God, and could not use the power of the law to help him expel the flames.
Moreover, at this time, he was sweating profusely, and he was very worried that Adros's next arrow would be shot at him. Looking at his crimson arrows, Saro wanted to hide in the black water, but he didn't dare to bear the price of losing his divinity.
