CHAPTER XVI
As the eldest brother of the Twelve Titans, Okeanos, the Lord of the Ocean, was entrusted with the task of taking care of the seas when Kronos was in charge of the heavens, and fought against the Pontos family on the sea.
His wife, Tessis, who was also a Titan with the power of the sea, was married into his palace by him through the belt of the goddess of deception, which also made him no longer alone.
For a single child, this is extremely irresponsible for the Titan as a parent, and many children, they can't even call them by name.
But for the six thousand sons and goddesses of the ocean as a whole, Okeanos and Tessis are extremely responsible parents, and they always avoid these children from being harmed.
This is evident from the kingdom in which they lived.
The place where Okeanos and his wife, Ctesis, settled, was an inevitable series of islands in the seas. There are tens of thousands of islands in these island groups, and they are densely packed from a distance.
There are thousands of islands that are already inhabited by their children, and the Okeanos themselves live in the center and the highest of the island group.
In this way, they can keep an eye on their children so that they don't put them in danger. At the same time, they never go to any child's island, and there is no way, and it will take them nearly twenty years to go to one child a day.
This time, Eurynome returned to the island where her father lived, and found that the treatment was completely different. The last time she came to ask for help because of Typhon's problem, her younger siblings sneered one by one, leaving her speechless.
And this time, these younger brothers and sisters are like honey in their mouths, and their sisters and sisters keep screaming.
In the eyes of these younger siblings, Stix has always been a mysterious and unpresence-less eldest sister, Amphitrite is a convincing and awe-inspiring second sister, and only Eurynome and Clymene, a goddess of beauty and a goddess of fame, are the gentle bosom sisters of these gods.
But Eurynom, the heart of her bosom sister, has been completely hurt by them, and this time it is rare to be cold and indifferent, and she doesn't pay much attention to them.
Even so, none of these younger brothers and sisters cared, and they didn't seem to see Eurynom's cold expression at all.
It was only when the goddess of fame, Cluemene, came to greet them on behalf of their father that the three daughters of the ocean of the Stars finally showed a smile.
Clymine is known as the goddess of fame, but her power is that of destruction and creation, and even when Metis, the goddess of wisdom, was still alive, she was considered the most promising of the many children of Okeanos.
And the Okeanos have always cultivated Clemene as the ruler of this sea after them.
Of course, the reason why Styx and the other three smiled at Clemene was not because of these, but because Cleimine was the same age as them, and had always stood with them.
For example, some time ago, although Okeanos did not agree to fight with them against Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, Clymene has always been ready to support them at any time.
"Three sisters, you are finally here, father and mother, they are already waiting impatiently. ”
Walking up to Styx and the others, Clymene said in a very small voice.
Amphitrite smiled, did not speak, and looked at the two sisters who were walking with her, very meaningful.
Styx was a little embarrassed, but Eurynoma sneered and said, "If we had come earlier, our Majesty, Lord of the Stars, might have come with us, I wonder if my father is ready to entertain him." ”
She didn't deliberately keep her voice down, she believed that speaking on this island, no matter how small, would reach his father's ears.
The family reunion of Okeanos' family was held in a place larger than the Temple of the Gods of Olympus, after all, the place was not large, and it was difficult to accommodate 6,000 children.
Of course, the current number is less than 5,800, and it is extremely rare to lose more than 200 yuan after so many years of small fights with the ancient sea god Pontus's family.
"You're here, sit. ”
With a serious expression, Okeanos pointed to the seat next to him, and asked the four eldest daughters to sit next to him, accompanied by Dione, the goddess of the ice sea, Akru, the god of the river, and Clytius, the goddess of the island.
Metis, the goddess of wisdom, was devoured by Zeus, and among the many children of Okeanos, she became the main god, and there were only seven left.
As for the other children, they were naturally not qualified to sit in the middle seat, and they also sat honestly at a distance, listening to the conversation between their father and his sisters.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was naturally all some performances. Okeanos has many children, and there are naturally not a few who have acting talents. They didn't like war, they devoted themselves to the art every day, and sometimes even Apollo would bring the muses to discuss with them.
Obviously, the cabaret here is better than when Amphitrite feasted Adros on her own turf. But neither the Lord of the Seas, Okeanos, nor their many children, actually paid attention to watching the show.
"Amphitrita, you say, how can I make you, my younger brothers and sisters who love art, study with peace of mind and not be harmed in any way?"
When the food and the song and dance were almost enjoyed, the words of Okeanos immediately alerted Amphitrite, and the purpose of the feast finally came.
"As gods, you should have the consciousness to create your own living conditions, and Apollo and Hermes were equally fond of studying art, but they never had to worry about being harmed. ”
Amphitrite smiled lightly, his father didn't want to say it, so she was happy to say some nonsense.
Hearing Amphitrite's words, Okeanos' face changed, and he said lightly: "But they don't have the talent of Apollo and Hermes, they can only become gods like the muses." ”
Amphitrite smiled, "Then they need a father like Zeus, or a god who is willing to accept them and keep them from harm." ”
Okeanos was silent for a long time before he said, "Their father may be inferior to Zeus, but their sister is not inferior to Apollo and Hermes, and I believe that their sister will be willing to accept them and not let them be harmed." ”
Okeanos's words are obvious, he wants Amphitrite to take in these gods and goddesses.
Amphitrite looked at the beautiful goddess Eurynomer next to her, and laughed softly: "Eurynome, helping the Divine Court collect some goddesses like the muses is what you, the goddess of beauty, should do, what do you think?"
Eurynome paused, "I don't know, I need to ask the opinion of our Lord God." ”
With that, a starlight was drawn from Eurynom's hand, and flew directly out of the island, across the ocean, and disappeared from the vision of the gods.
In the far west, Adros and Hecate, the goddess of deception, the goddess of discord, were about to come to the land of eternal silence in the darkness, when suddenly a starlight flew into his hands.
Adros took the starlight, smiled softly, and with a wave of his hand, it went back the way it came.
"Amphitrite, are they okay?"
As soon as Hekate saw the direction of the starlight, he knew that it was from the goddesses of the sea.
Adros smiled faintly: "It's not a big deal, but I just have to pay a little for these three subordinates and their parents." ”
"What payment?"
"It's not necessarily a reward, but after we open up the palace of the Star Divine Court in the future, we don't have to worry about no one performing singing and dancing music during the banquet. ”
For the admission of some performing artists, Adros did not refuse, in the mythology of the previous life, there were such gods in the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Palace, and even the Spirit Mountain. Even in the private residences of some great gods, such deities can be seen everywhere. It's better to use them for a performance than to be like Zeus, who often calls his own daughter to do the show.
Above the seas, Eurynomer took the starlight returned by Adros, and then said lightly: "The Lord of the Stars has agreed, but if they study art in the Divine Court of the Stars, the Divine Court can take them in and shelter them. But from then on, they are the gods of God's court, and they must abide by God's covenant. ”
Okeanos nodded and smiled, "Okay, let them make a contract with the gods, and from now on they will be the gods of your Star Divine Court." ”
For these children who don't have any combat power, Okeanos is actually very rare, and he has always been by his side, and he doesn't know when he will be served by which enemy.
If you put it with other gods, you are worried that it will not be safe, and you will feel that you will be bullied, especially among them, and daughters make up the majority.
But when it comes to his older daughters, Okeanos is still very relieved, as an older sister, he will definitely not bully his sister.
"Okay, you children, follow the three sisters in the future, and do whatever you want. ”
Tessis, the goddess of the ocean, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke up and instructed these sea artists to obey the command. These gods and goddesses nodded yes one by one, and then stood directly behind Eurynom and them, there were about three or four hundred people.
"They went to the Star Divine Court and couldn't make a single contribution, but I feel a little ashamed of Adros. Otherwise, I will send a thousand children who are willing to fight to fight for you, and replenish your men. ”
Amphitrite's face changed suddenly, and it was not a big deal to raise some younger siblings who provided cabaret performances. But it is not so simple to take in soldiers, especially the virtues of her younger siblings in battle, she is very clear.
Before Typhon arrived, these people had been fighting with them, and after they won the territory, they were basically in charge of managing and improving their strength. As soon as Typhon arrived, they immediately discarded the territory they had originally won, and then recaptured their hometown, so that all the territory that they had managed to grab was cheapened by the descendants of the ancient sea god Pontus and the power of the sea goddess Thalassa.
How dare Amphitrite accept such a group of soldiers?
"As long as we can make a covenant with God, we agree, and if not, then forget it. ”
It was Stix, the goddess of oaths, who spoke, and showed no mercy at all.
