Chapter 9: Hestia's Manor

At this time, the world is the world of bronze humans. After Zeus overthrew the rule of his father Cronus, he also sent out thunder and lightning and floods, which nearly wiped out the silver humans created by Cronus. And before the silver humans, it was the golden humans created by the first generation of god-king Ouranos.

The golden humans live like gods, they are carefree, free from heavy labor, free from distress and poverty. The earth provided them with a variety of fruits, and the abundant meadows were full of cattle and sheep, and they worked peacefully and hardly aged. When they felt that the time of death was coming, they sank into a peaceful sleep. When the god of fate condemned the golden generation to disappear from the face of the earth, they all became benevolent protectors, coming and going in the clouds, they were the benefactors of all good deeds, upholding law and justice, and punishing all evil.

And the later silver humans, they were different from the first generation of humans in appearance and spirit. They live at home like pampered children, doted on and cared for by their mothers, who have always maintained their childhood, mentally immature, and unbridled behavior that has plunged this generation into the abyss of misery, because they are unable to restrain their intense feelings. They were deceitful and unscrupulous, and after the overthrow of Kronos, they decided not to sacrifice to the gods again. Zeus was furious and wanted to wipe out the race from the face of the earth because he did not want to see anyone blasphemy. Of course, this race is not useless, so they have the honor of being allowed to roam the earth as demons after the end of their lives.

The Father Zeus created the third generation of human beings, the Bronze Humans. This generation is completely different from the people of the Silver Age. They are cruel and brutal, they only know war, they always fight each other, and everyone has to insult everyone else in every possible way. They eat only the flesh of animals, and do not want to eat the fruits of the fields. Their stubborn will is as hard as a diamond, and they are unusually tall and strong. They used bronze weapons, lived in bronze houses, and cultivated the fields with bronze farming tools, because there was no iron at that time. What also differs from the previous two generations of humans is that they are especially fond of war.

Styx and Adros traveled through the world, and everywhere they went, there was a lot of war. Styx couldn't help but sigh: "It's still the silver humans of the past, although it is also a deception, but at least there are not so many wars." โ€

"I didn't know about you, Sister Styx, who liked humans so much. A soft, slightly hoarse voice came, with a smile in his tone.

Hearing this, Stix smiled: "When it comes to liking humans, I can't compare to you." For decades, you have been among the men, you are not seen on Mount Olympus, and your deeds are no longer reported among the gods. โ€

The soft female voice smiled again, and then in front of Adros's eyes, a beautiful goddess appeared. The goddess was tall, with a bumpy robe and white silver hair, and her plain white clothes, her face was beautiful and tranquil, and she had an expression of indifference, as if she had stepped out of the ice and snow.

The goddess came out and saw Adros, and her eyes lit up: "Is this Sister Styx's newborn child? โ€

Speaking of which, in the eyes of the other gods, Adros and Styx are indeed very similar, both with dark, straight hair and dark pupils. Therefore, as soon as Styx saw Adros, he was very fond of it.

"I would have liked to have such a child, but unfortunately not. He was the youngest son of Zeus and the black-robed goddess Leto, named Adros. โ€

"Isn't the child of Leto and Zeus called Apollo?" She had also heard about the birth of Artemis and Apollo.

"Apollo is his brother, don't talk about you, I guess Zeus himself didn't know that Leto gave birth to three children. After saying that, he said to Adros: "Come, Adros, this is the goddess Hestia, although you have not seen it, you must have heard of it." โ€

Hestia, the goddess of fire, the future god of the hearth, is also one of the main gods of Olympus. For the eldest sister of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, Adros has indeed admired it for a long time. What Adros admires the most is not the strength of her main god, but the fact that she has Zeus and several of their prostitute god brothers, and she can also be alone and become a famous virgin goddess.

Adros bowed to Hestia, "I've seen Aunt Hestia." โ€

Hestia pursed her lips and smiled, "Auntie, shouldn't it be an aunt?"

"If you have a father, you have an aunt, and if you don't have a father, how can you come to an aunt. Adros said.

Seeing Adros's serious little appearance, Styx couldn't help laughing again, and Hestia also said: "Whatever you want to call it, when you meet for the first time, Auntie will give you a gift." โ€

She pulled out a golden slingshot from her sleeve and handed it to Adros.

"This is the gift that Father gave me to play with when I was first swallowed up by God in his womb. Later, after a few of them came in, Hades Poseidon often asked me for it, but I didn't give it. Now this slingshot will be given to you to play with. Speaking of the past, Hestia's eyes were misty and full of melancholy.

Adros originally took the slingshot and wanted to put it in the space, but when he heard her say this, he hesitated: "Why give it to me with such a valuable thing, you better put it away." โ€

"You take it, I don't know why, it's much more pleasing to look at you than Hades and a few other troublemakers. Hestia stroked Adros's head.

If there is anyone in this world who is qualified to say that Hades and Poseidon are troublemakers, it is Hestia. Their childhoods were all taken care of by Hestia in the belly space of Kronos. Later, Metis gave Zeus a plan, drugged Cronos, and rescued several of them, and after they came out, they were already powerful gods.

Hestia took Styx and Adros to a manor. In the chaotic world, it is extremely rare to find such a quiet and peaceful manor.

After arriving at Hestia's manor, Styx didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back, and followed Hestia around all day, taking Adros's oil bottle with him by the way.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

"Styx, you've been with me for over a year, and it's time to go back. Hestia looked at Styx reclining on the seat of his chair with a helpless expression.

While eating the grapes next to him, Stix teased Adros next to him with one, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I dislike my sister so quickly." โ€

Adros next to him was even more helpless, he had long wanted Stix to take him to the River Styx, but Styx had been here for a year, and looking at her, it seemed that she had no plans to leave. Although Adros wanted to leave, it was difficult to say clearly, after all, the Pangu essence blood was very important, and it was not suitable to be passed on. He could only mechanically eat the grapes that Stix had fed him, and then after a while, he revealed a cute smiling face, and his face was almost cramping with laughter.

"The underworld is desolate and no fun at all, so how can you have fun here. Styx complained: "If I had known this, I should not have asked Zeus to take care of the river in the first place." โ€

"You don't want to be in the midst of blessings and not know the blessings, you know, no matter how many gods, sharpen their heads, they can't find a priesthood that matches their divine power. In particular, the power of your oath, although it is extremely powerful, but except for the river in the underworld, there is no place to find the embodiment of its law. โ€

"It's as if there is a priesthood, and the divine power can be increased rapidly. Why don't you go to your brother and ask for a position, knowing that he never refuses your request. Styx's eyes narrowed, and his smile was very strange, Zeus and his three brothers could not hide from her.

Ignoring Styx's ridicule, Hestia replied lightly, "The time has not yet come. โ€

Stix didn't feel much about this, but when Adros heard it, his heart moved, and this goddess seemed to be able to predict what the future would look like. It's just that I don't know what power the position of the god of the stove can bring her, and in the future, she will choose such a seemingly ordinary priesthood.

While the two goddesses were chatting, suddenly, there was a wave in the air, and Styx sat up straight and muttered to himself, "Why is she here too?"

A tall, dignified and majestic goddess fell in front of the eyes of the three, with beautiful blonde hair that fell like waves on her shoulders, a ribbon on her head, and a garland of flowers on her eyebrows. When Adros saw this goddess, he couldn't help but sigh, Styx's figure was already extremely plump and attractive, and this goddess seemed to be superior, in the robe, faintly visible was the tall chest shape and perfect hip line, for men, it was simply a poison to fall into the world. But at this time, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be extremely sad.

Seeing her like this, Hestia, whose expression had always been cold, couldn't help but be moved: "Demeter, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the name, Adros understood the identity of the person who came. Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, who is in charge of the production of the land and symbolizes the harvest and happiness, is the sister of Hestia, the sister of the god Hera, and the sister of the god-king Zeus, the god of the sea, Poseidon, Hades.

It is said that Zeus had a daughter with her, Poseidon once turned into a stallion and raped the mare she became, and Hades once pursued her.

I just don't know, what can this goddess, who is loved by Zeus Poseidon and Hades at the same time, make her so sad?
