Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 13 The Choice of Qingtian God
The three brothers embarked on a journey again. They crossed the plain of eternal night, climbed over the lonely mountain, and walked non-stop for three days and three nights. Atlas felt that it was slow, but he was helpless.

He intends to turn into the appearance of a giant god and take his two younger brothers on the road, but this is not the land after all, and if he is too ostentatious in other people's territory, he will only cause trouble for himself.

But even though the three of them are so low-key, they are still like fireflies in the dark night, and others have discovered their brilliance.

Under a big dead black tree, the dry branches are full of claws and claws, and ominous strange birds are squatting on them. The creepy screams are one after another, which makes the scalp tingle; the scarlet eyes are shining, Watching the three Atlas brothers like wild beasts.

Under the big tree, a young girl wearing a black translucent gauze stands under the tree. She has a delicate body, exquisite facial features, black hair and black eyes, and skin as white as snow, which is faintly visible under the gauze.

The girl combed two ponytails that reached to her buttocks, and looked at Prometheus quietly, or in other words, she was looking at the golden apple in his hand.

"Travelers from afar, may I ask what is in your hand, and why is it so dazzling?"

The girl lightly opened her vermilion lips, and her crisp voice was like a yellow warbler, in stark contrast to the strange bird on the big tree.

Prometheus looked at Atlas, and now he instinctively wanted to ask his elder brother's opinion when something happened. After all, one person counts the short, and the two count the long. What's more, this is the territory of the night, and he has been tricked several times in a row , Everyone has a psychological shadow.

Atlas blinked, indicating to find out the other party's details first, and then make any calculations.

Prometheus couldn't help saying: "This is a golden apple, produced on the earth, and it is a rare treasure. We are going to the hell of Tartarus, and the god of sleep promised to be our guide. This is a gift for him .”

"So it's a guest from Hypnos." The girl nodded her head, but her eyes never moved from the golden apple. After a long time, she suddenly said, "As for the road to Tartarus, I am more familiar with it than Sleepy God. You give me this golden apple, how about I take you there?"

There was a touch of sweetness in her waxy voice, and the innocence was even more evident on her beautiful face, which surprised the three of Prometheus.

Among them, Epimetheus obviously has some intentions, because it will take more than half a month to go to the Styx River to reunite with the Sleeping God. If he can find a guide now, he will naturally be able to avoid this journey.

Prometheus had some hesitation, the golden apple was not his property, and Atlas had to decide what to do with it.

From this, the two brothers looked at the elder brother together, and the girl saw the eyes of the two, and knew that Atlas must be the master of the three, so she also looked at him pitifully.

Suddenly being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Qing Tianshen almost got goosebumps all over his body, because following the girl's gaze, the strange birds full of trees also turned their heads in unison, staring at him with scarlet eyes.

"Hey, is this a begging or a threat?"

Atlas felt numb, no doubt, agreeing at this time would save a lot of trouble.After all, the road behind is completely unknown, and it will definitely be smoother to find the guide in advance.

But looking at his younger brother Prometheus, he still resolutely chose to refuse.

"Forgive me for not being able to agree to your request."

The girl was stunned, Epimetheus was also a little dazed, and only Prometheus showed a satisfied smile.

"Why?" She asked blankly, never expecting such a result.

But Atlas just smiled heartily and said: "My younger brother has made an agreement with Sleeping God, if I promise you now, he will break his promise.

You know, a man's promise is something heavier than Mount Otrius. "

Hearing such an answer, the girl almost froze on the spot, and even the strange bird on the big tree stopped making a sound.

Who doesn't know that apart from women and ghosts, even dogs won't believe men's promises.

It happened that the one who heard these words was a woman, an inexperienced young girl.

"What a respectable person, my name is Nemesis, nice to meet you."

"It turned out to be her." Atlas suddenly realized that Nemesis is actually the heir of the God of Darkness and the Goddess of the Night.She has an older sister, the god of disputes who represents "discord, divorce, bickering, quarrels, brawls, conflicts, and wars," named Eris.

Later generations gave golden apples at weddings, and she was the god who triggered the Trojan War.

And Nemesis is even more powerful. She is the god of revenge, representing the unselfish justice in the universe, and specializes in dealing with lawless and arrogant people.

It may not be very clear to say this. In layman's terms, Nemesis is the karma in the universe, the villain's nemesis.

She is more powerful than the famous Nemesis, and she can always bring evil results to her body without making a sound.

Atlas didn't dare to offend the other party, because this kind of god who can control cause and effect doesn't matter if he has integrity in his heart. If he has any evil intentions, he can kill you for no reason.

Just like Moros, the god of destiny, even gods cannot escape fate, they can only struggle and change.

For example, "prophecy" and the like, the second-generation god king Cronus and the third-generation god king Zeus all feared the future fate because of the prophecy, and finally made themselves embarrassed.

Thinking of all kinds of concerns, when Qingtian Shen introduced himself, his tone became cautious, "My name is Atlas, and these two are my younger brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus. We are both souls and dead. Child of Iapseus the Titan."

Nemesis nodded, with a sweet smile on his pretty face, "Your character is worthy of admiration. But please forgive me, I have lived in the dark all year round, and I have never seen the world on the ground, let alone the treasures on the ground. .

Can you lend me this golden apple?I want to see the fruit of the earth. "

Atlas frowned, instinctively feeling something was wrong, but due to the power of the god of revenge, he did not dare to offend Taishi after all.

After all, they said they would take you to Tartarus, but you refused; if they asked to see your apples again, they couldn't refuse again.

She had no choice but to signal Prometheus to give her the golden apple.

Touching the icy touch of the golden apple, Nemesis swallowed, the treasure of the earth exuded bursts of fruity aroma, which gave her the urge to feast on it.

We don't know if she really likes it, or if she has never seen such a rare thing, she holds the apple and rubs it over and over again, looking like she can't put it down.

The more Atlas looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, and was about to urge him to hurry up, but at this moment, an accident happened.
