Chapter 114: Shooting the Sun, the Death of the Sun God
Somewhere in the world, Adros quietly looked at the scene in the sky, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "After ten years of waiting, this day has finally come." โ
After ten years of planning, the goddess of deception and the goddess of discord have shot many times, and the overall situation on the moon's side must be certain, and now there is only the last sun left.
He drew the same long-awaited sun-shooting bow, as well as the only sun-shooting arrow, drew his bow and set the arrow, and aimed it at the great sun in the sky.
Next to him, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, with her belly and slightly bulging, smiled and watched. She had known about the existence of the pair of bows and arrows, and this time she could finally see its divine power up close.
Helios, the sun god, was full of anxiety and remorse, and although he expected something to go wrong, he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Just one day earlier, his beloved son and only son, Phaetong, had come to him and cried to him: "Dear father, there are people in the earth who are constantly laughing at me and abusing my mother. They said that I claimed to be a descendant of the sun god, but I was not, and that I was a mongrel, and that my father was a wild man whose name was unknown. So I have come to ask my father to give me some proof that I am your son to the whole world. โ
Helios retracted the light that surrounded his skull, no longer glaring, and commanded his young son to take a step closer. He hugged his son and said softly: "My child, although your mother is only a mortal, no matter where or when, I will never deny that you are my son." To dispel your suspicions, ask me for a gift. I swear by Styx that your wish will be granted!"
He said to his father, "Then please first fulfill my long-cherished wish, that one day I can drive your winged chariot alone, and bring light to mortal life." โ
Helioston was in a hurry, and with the means of his demigod son, he would not even dare to let him participate in the battle of Troy on earth, let alone drive the more dangerous solar car.
However, his stubborn son could no longer listen to any of his words and insisted on being the sun god for a day. In desperation, Helios had to take his son's hand and walk towards the sun car.
Faethon was amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship and divine power of the sun car, and his heart became more and more expectant to drive this god car.
Before you know it, the sky has broken, a glimmer of morning glow is revealed in the east, the stars are disappearing one by one, and the corners of the crescent moon have disappeared into the western sky.
The goddesses brought out the flame-spitting horses from the luxurious manger, and the horses were fed with energetic fodder. They busily put on their beautiful bridles, and then Helios anointed Phaethon's cheeks with holy anointing so that his demigod son could defend against the raging flames.
He put a shining sun hat on his son's head and warned him with a sigh: "Son, never use a whip, but hold on to the reins tightly." Horses will gallop on their own, and you have to control them to make them run slower. You can't bend down too much, or the ground will be blazing, or even blazing. But you can't stand too high, be careful not to scorch the sky. โ
As if he hadn't heard his father's words, the young demigod jumped into the car with a whoosh, grabbed the reins in high spirits, and nodded to his worried father in gratitude.
Helios had no choice but to explain the horses to the driver again so that they did not lose control. Four winged horses neighed, their scorching breaths spewing sparks in the air, and they lit up the heads of the gods to show that they knew what the sun god meant.
Unexpectedly, not long after the sun god car drove out of his palace, it lost control. It runs wildly between heaven and earth, and finally slowly drives towards the world.
When the sun god heard the curses and resentments of the beings in the world, and then saw the miserable appearance of the flames in the world, he immediately regretted it. Knowing that this would happen, he would rather break the oath of the River Styx and accept the punishment of heaven and earth than let his son drive away.
He hurried out, chasing the Helios as fast as he could, trying to get him back on track.
However, he was one step too late after all.
The curses of the world, the dissatisfaction and resentment of the gods, all reached the ears of the god-king Zeus. Especially below him, on the battlefield of Troy, whether it is a demigod hero, or an ordinary soldier and crowd, they are all looking at him, expecting his attitude and movements.
Zeus snorted coldly, and with his divine power, a white thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit Phaethon, who was driving the Sun God car.
How could Ephaceton's strength resist the thunder of the God King's anger, and he immediately threw out of the Sun God Chariot and was no longer silent.
Helios, the god of the sun, finally arrived, but all that awaited him was the corpse of Phaethon that had fallen in mid-air.
He was in agony, caressing his son's cheek, and suddenly remembered what his wife had told him before she died, that he must take good care of their son.
But now, his only son died in front of his eyes like this, or because of his indulgence. Thinking of this, Helios couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
The helios in the sky are still falling, the temperature on the ground is getting higher and higher, and people are already dying from the scorching. But Helios, the god of the sun, did not pay attention to this matter because he was saddened by the death of his son.
At this time, Apollo, the god of light in the sky above Troy, stepped on his silver bow, and with a resolute face, he went high into the air and flew into the sun god chariot.
The son of Zeus, the god of light who wielded many priesthoods, was equally proficient in the methods of animal husbandry, and at once he grabbed the reins of the horse, and then struck the horse's back with his silver bow, and with his incomparable divine power, controlled the falling carriage and sent it flying upwards to get back on his track.
This scene was seen by Helios, what was Apollo going to do, did he want to take away his priesthood?
So, he had to put down his son's corpse, and ten thousand golden rays of light were emitted from his body, like a small sun, and flew high into the air, came to the side of the sun god car, and scolded Apollo.
However, Apolloli ignored him, and just looked after the four divine horses and the sun chariot in front of him, completely as if he, the real owner of the divine chariot, did not exist.
Helios was furious, the golden light on his body was even stronger, and his divine power exploded, looking at the eyes of mortals, it was like two suns appearing in the sky. He angrily pulled out his spear, wanting to teach the young god a lesson.
"Helios, the god of the sun, did not abide by the rules of heaven and earth, neglected his duties, and caused the creatures of heaven and earth to suffer. Today, on the orders of the Lord of Thousands of Stars, Emperor Ziwei, he will shoot the sun god and be vigilant against all the gods in the world. However, as long as there is a priesthood, he must abide by his duties, not to mention contributing to heaven and earth, and must not harm the creatures of heaven and earth, otherwise, he will be punished by heaven and earth. โ
A cold and harsh voice spread throughout the heavens and the earth, whether it was the earth, the underworld or the ocean, all the gods, humans, demons, etc., heard this voice.
In the Land of the Polar Night, the Lord of the Night seemed to be immersed in sleep, and around her, three thousand large and small bubbles floated and floated, and inside the bubbles, it seemed to be all-encompassing.
Nyx, the Lord of the Night, seemed to hear this voice as well, and the corners of her beautiful mouth curled, and then she turned over and continued as if she were continuing to dream about her.
Somewhere in the world, the god Gaibu with a goatee, who was not herding sheep now, but played a cameo role as the river god, heard this slightly familiar voice, raised his head and smiled faintly: "Sure enough, that pair of bows and arrows is in opposition to the sun, no matter where it is, it must be done with the sun." โ
Beside him, the girl who thought her skin was like jade was surprised: "It's Lord Adros, I know that he will not let humanity suffer." โ
Gaibu frowned and said, "What Lord Adros, Ian, you must know that you have inherited the bloodline of a great god, and you are no worse than any god in this world. โ
Ian pursed her lips and then didn't speak, if she hadn't been forced to study here by Geb, she would have wanted to go back to fight next to her main god, so she didn't want to inherit the blood of some great god?
Gaibu suddenly looked helplessly at this girl who had become a god, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that I will have to teach for a long time." โ
On the other side, the two former god kings who were recovering from their injuries looked at each other, and then Ouranos exclaimed: "It's that little guy again, what does he want to do, what good is it for him to offend Humberion and his wife." โ
Kronos next to him shook his head, and he couldn't figure out what his grandchild thought. With the Knicks backing him up, they can't do anything about him.
Zeus, the god-king in the sky above the city of Troy, had seen that the sun god Helios was preparing to attack Apollo, and was ready to teach Helios a lesson.
But when he heard this voice, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what to think in his heart, so he was silent.
Only the lord of the high in the temple, Cybrion, and his wife, Thea, the goddess of light, were in a panic, and immediately ran out of the temple and rushed to the place where the sun god chariot was.
The previous situation when the sun god car was out of control was also seen by them, but they didn't care. As for Phaethon being killed by Zeus, it was all a trivial matter, and even they had been planning for a long time to help the sun god Helios find a god's wife and give birth to a better offspring.
There are many other places, all kinds of gods, after hearing this voice, each has its own reaction and its own discussion.
After hearing this voice, the sun god Helios immediately felt that the heaven and the earth were all aimed at him with murderous intent. He hurriedly gave up his shot at Apollo, the god of light, and stared intently, vigilant to his surroundings.
At this moment, a black light rose from the world, and in a strange and strange trajectory, it quickly came towards the sun god. Between heaven and earth, all the gods and demigods looked at this black light and watched it move.
As for ordinary humans, they don't even know anything unusual in the sky, only that there are gods who say they want to teach the sun god a lesson, and they are waiting for the results.
The sun rushed wildly, and many of their relatives and friends, because they did not react, died in the sudden flames. They grieved, they spit, but to no avail, the gods were still gods after all, and could not be lost by their curse.
But the great voice of heaven and earth, hearing in the ears of the gods, although it was extremely cold, was like a divine voice in their ears. There is a god on their side, who wants to deal with the sun god who causes the evil consequences.
The sun god saw the black light coming, and although it was far away from him, he could already feel a cold and piercing aura, as if he had been shot, just waiting for a program, and then going to meet death.
Helios was not willing to die like this, he saw the sun not far away, and his heart moved, as if he quickly ducked behind the sun. He wanted to rely on the sun to resist the soul-piercing cold, to resist the arrow that could not be avoided.
He wanted to go behind the sun with incredible speed. However, Apollo, who was driving the Sun God car, seemed to have understood what he meant. Apollo struggled to twitch the silver bow to make the horses running faster, and seeing that Helios was about to catch up, Apollo turned his heart sideways, set up a golden arrow, and shot them at the buttocks of the horses.
These horses were in pain and galloped forward, making it difficult for the sun god Helios to catch up for a while.
Finally, Helios could no longer fly, and a long black arrow pierced his heart, and continued to the sky, the icy power of freezing from his body to his soul.
Helios had sensed that he was about to die, and in the last moments of his consciousness he looked back at the world.
On the earth, there is the corpse of his beloved son Phaethon, as well as the corpses of countless humans and animals who died as the sun sets.
All the beings in the world who have wisdom and consciousness are all happy when they see him at this moment, and even begin to laugh loudly.
"It turns out that you all want me to die, but you only remember my mistake this time, countless days and nights, I drove to provide you with light, have you forgotten?"
These were the last thoughts of the sun god Helios, and the last words he had left on earth.
Between heaven and earth, there seems to be an indescribable sadness, although the sun god car is still walking in the air, but there are rains falling, as if crying for the sun god who has always done his duty.
When the voice of Helios, the god of the sun, was also heard throughout the world, all the cheerers suddenly stopped their cheers. Yes, why do they only know that the sun god has made a mistake and turn a blind eye to his great achievements?
So all the creatures were silent, even the gods who saw it, and they all thought about it, and they were all shocked by the arrow that came from outside that day, and the last words of Helios.
Dereliction of duty, causing trouble, and then being shot with an arrow. They reflect on themselves if they will not make the same mistakes as Helios in the future. In fact, in their opinion, Helios did not make much mistake, but he was shot by the strict Lord of the Stars.
Of course, there are also a very small number of gods who believe that the sun god really deserves to die. However, this is not mainstream.
For Adros, who shot out of the bow and then had some weak legs, he didn't have to worry about whether the sun god Helios should die or not.
He had sent the goddess of oaths and wishes, the Lord of the Styx and the Celestial River, and his messengers to the goddess of the sun and the moon, who did not want to take refuge in the court of the stars or give up their gods. Therefore, this arrow will be shot sooner or later, and the lord of the stars, who cannot be controlled by the sun and the moon, is the lord of the stars.
The only thing Adros felt at this time was tired, his whole body was paralyzed, and if it weren't for his wife's support, he would have fallen to the ground.
This feeling of weakness made him sigh, he had not been so tired in the ten years he had helped the Lord of the Night create three thousand dreams. In such a comparison, he really found that his current strength was far inferior to the original God of Siyi.
Naturally, not all the gods were silent, and Thea, the goddess of light, was now holding the body of the sun god Helios and letting out a terrible cry.
Celebrion, the Lord of the Sky, also came over, with the same sad face, and shook his head at Thea: "The long arrow was not found. โ
Thea came to catch his son's body, and he went to find the long black arrow. They are no strangers to this long arrow, and the wife of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, died under this arrow.
Even Typhon, who had almost broken through to the main god, was seriously injured by an arrow and fled, and there is still no trace of him.
But this arrow disappeared mysteriously at the time, and now it appears again, but I didn't expect that my son, who had high hopes, was hit.
Thea's anger could not be vented, and suddenly she looked up and saw Apollo, the god of light, who was driving the sun god car in the air.
She knew very well that when Helios wanted to rely on the sun to block the long arrow, it was Apollo who made trouble and desperately drove the sun god car away. Otherwise, her son would not necessarily die.
But when her magic was still far from Apollo, she was taken over by a god she knew very well. The goddess of radiance, Faoper, and the lord of the stars, Koos, appeared, they were Apollo's maternal grandparents, how could he be harmed.
In the same way, Zeus, who led the gods of Olympus, also stood next to Apollo, quietly looking at the Lord of the Sky and his wife, without saying a word.
The ending has been set, and Zeus is unlikely to let his best son have an accident. He had even decided that his son, Apollo, was the new sun god.
Thea looked at the group of gods opposite her with hatred, and stopped talking, knowing that she couldn't do anything either. Neither she nor her husband noticed that their daughter, the goddess of the moon, had not appeared.
After Zeus returned to Olympus, he didn't think of stimulating these two powerful Titans now, so he asked his son to temporarily fulfill the duties of the sun god, and the matter of the god position was given to him when the time was right.
Thinking of Apollo, Zeus couldn't help but think of his younger brother Adros, remembered the bow and arrow in his hand, and couldn't help but feel cold. This thing is really a big killing weapon, it doesn't matter if you have a thunder and lightning artifact in your body, but can the other main gods defend against this artifact?
He sent Hermes, the messenger of God, to call Themis, the Lord of Justice.
When the slender, cold-faced Lord of Justice arrived, Zeus said, "Themis, my faithful friend, I need to tell you a very important matter, the bow that once shot Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, and killed the sun god Helios, he came from my disobedient son, Adros, the god of the way and direction. And now it seems that he, like his god Hekat, defected to the mysterious Lord of the Stars. โ
Themis had already guessed that the arrow belonged to Adros, but there was no evidence. Hearing Zeus say this, she was not too surprised.
"Don't worry, even if he has this powerful artifact, I can deal with him. โ
The Lord of Justice has always been strong and cautious, and since she said so, it means that there is really nothing in the way. However, Zeus still instructed her: "You should be careful, it is really difficult, you must pay attention to your own safety." โ
Themis, the Lord of Justice, nodded, and then, without saying a word, exited the temple of Zeus.
After Themis left, Zeus asked Hermes next to him, "What happened to Troy?" After the death of the sun god Helios, whether it was a god or a demigod and monster, there was no interest in a high-platform duel, so it was over.
"The goddess of wisdom and the god of war, now in charge of the armies of both sides, have resumed the war. โ
"Go and tell Athena not to delay the affairs of the world forever, end this war early, and find the whereabouts of Aphrodite. โ
ยทยทยทยทยท
In Troy City, the god of love and beauty hugged Adros, who had been lying in his arms, and asked, "Are we really not going to help in this battle? With the level of Ares, it is definitely not Athena's opponent." โ
Adros said lazily: "No need, it doesn't matter to us who wins or loses." When Troy is defeated, we'll help them escape. โ
Later, he muttered to himself: "There is a kind of divine bird, which can only be truly sublimated by bathing in blood and fire, and Troy, or the future Rome, is that kind of divine bird." โ
With that, he rolled over again and lay in Aphrodite's arms in a more comfortable position.
Aphrodite was suddenly helpless, her husband always likes such a scoundrel, but he is a little cute.
"By the way, a few years ago, my father, the god king of Ouranos, came to me. โ
Hearing Aphrodite's words, Adros was suddenly shocked, turned over and sat up: "He came to you, there is no problem, right?"
Aphrodite pursed her lips and smiled: "It's no problem, just let me follow you well, and then provide him with information and let him know all your plans and actions." โ
When Adros heard this, he was happy in his heart: "Then you little spy, you don't serve the god well, change a few postures and scenes today, and as soon as I am happy, I will reveal some big insider information to you." โ
Aphrodite blushed and slammed Adros so hard that he screamed in pain.
