Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 157 The Train Derailed

One thing Vulcan has to admit is that Aphrodite is the most beautiful goddess.

But there is another point you have to admit, no matter how beautiful it is, there are times when it gets boring.

If Aphrodite is a soft cloud, then the goddess in front of her at this moment is a rose with thorns.

She is delicate and full of youth, like a wild horse galloping on the prairie, making people want to tame her after seeing her.

The goddess ignored the dull gazes around her, but turned to Zeus, "Hello, my father. Mother Metis asked me to say hello to you."

"Metis? Isn't she missing?" Hera asked suspiciously, and also asked everyone's thoughts.

Ever since Metis disappeared, the gods had looked for her, but they couldn't find her. Over time, it became an unsolved case.

Now the daughter of Metis appeared, or was born from the head of Zeus, could it be said
Everyone thought of a terrible guess, and immediately covered their mouths in disbelief.

With the birth of the goddess, the pain of Zeus finally subsided. There was blood on his forehead, but the wound had already healed, but the ugly expression made people feel cold.

"You are the daughter of Metis? Just you?"

He was very worried, lest Metis give birth to a dragon and a phoenix twin, and if there was another boy, he might have to follow in the footsteps of his father Cronus.

"My name is Athena, that's what my mother called me.

And, isn't it enough for me alone? "

"Enough, enough, I can't stand any more."

Zeus grinned with a headache, wiped off the blood on his face, and looked at the gods.

Everyone seems to be waiting for an explanation from him.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he could only tell Gaia's prophecy, and explained the fact that he devoured Metis.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale with fright, especially the goddesses who had an affair with Zeus backed away in fear.

Everyone said that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad. What Zeus did made the people next to them very scared.

Today is Metis, but if the prophecy falls on me again tomorrow, wouldn't it be my turn again?
Of course Zeus understands everyone's concerns, but this kind of fear cannot be eliminated in a day or two. It is useless to talk more, it is better to deal with Athena's matter first.

"My child, do you still hold a grudge against me for devouring your mother?"

This is a multiple choice question, life or death, there is no third way.

If the other party still hates him, or if Zeus finds out that something is wrong, he will inevitably impose poison on Athena.

Athena blinked, her eyes were pure and flawless, "Mother told me that I shouldn't hate you. Everything she did was a voluntary sacrifice for love.

So, I won't hate you either. "

Zeus looked at her, his eyes seemed to see through her heart, Athena's heart was pounding, but the surface was calm, as if she really didn't hate it.

Eventually, Zeus believed her.

"My child, since you have the blood of a god, you should be among the main gods.

Rest assured, Olympus has your place. "

This is the final conclusion, Athena became the main god, she is in charge of wisdom and war.

If Ares represents battles, duels and all forms of fighting, it only understands violence, coercion, attack, conquest and coercion.

Then Athena focuses more on the art of war in the resourceful aspects of planning, tactics, and strategy.

One is to conquer by violence, and the other is to fight with brains.

Of the two children, Zeus felt that Athena was more representative of his face.

One is because she is beautiful, and the other is because she is strong.

Its majestic divine power seems to be comparable to that of Poseidon and the Titan pillars, which made Zeus feel a little bit lucky in his worries.

Fortunately, it was a girl. If it was a boy, it would really be over.

Maybe fate will endow the other party with power stronger than himself, which makes Zeus fear in his heart.

He has already tasted the sweetness of power, one day no one is flattering in his ears, one day no one is saddling him, one day no one is ordering him, and he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

It's like a retired veteran cadre who spends money to find someone after he is no longer in charge, just wanting to get back the feeling of awe that everyone used to have.

But how did he know that his son was not only born, but also the reincarnation of the king of gods in another time and space.

Regarding the overthrow of his father's rule, Poros said: "I'm familiar with this! Just look at it."

The birth of Athena is something worthy of universal celebration, and Zeus's love for her is beyond words, so he decided to hold a grand ceremony to crown her.

Such a grand way instantly made several of his children taste it.

Needless to say, Hephaestus, all he thinks about now is Athena, and even his love with Aphrodite is called Athena's name.

The god of love and beauty is so angry, I am a majestic beauty god in front of you, but you treat me like this.

With hatred in his heart, the more he looked at this ugly man, the more he disliked him.

Once a woman is not pleasing to the eye, there will be a contrast.

What the old Li from the east family got rich again, and the old Wang from the west family bought a house again, blah blah blah.

In short, take other people's strengths and compare your weaknesses infinitely.

What is the weakness of Hephaestus?

There is no doubt that he is ugly, dark and short, and his facial features can be whatever he wants. He can at least eat half full if he doesn't say he can't eat.

Seeing this face, Aphrodite couldn't help lamenting the injustice of fate. If the wedding had gone smoothly, she would have been the woman of Ares.

That guy is brave, domineering, and handsome, much better than this blacksmith who can only forge iron.

The more she thought about it, the more she missed it, and unconsciously evoked the name "Aris".

These two weirdos are not fuel-efficient lamps, and one is called his sister Athena.A younger brother named Ares called her husband.

In this indistinct humming sound, the dark night passed in a flash. Hephaestus put on his green cowboy hat and returned to his workshop.
But by coincidence, someone has been eavesdropping on their wall.

The whimpering wind transmitted Aphrodite's cry to Ares. In order to please the crown prince, the wind god told Aphrodite all about his thoughts.

Ariston suddenly thought about it. Last time Hephaestus robbed his wife and embarrassed him, this matter would not end like this.

He has been looking for opportunities to take revenge, to take revenge on this elder brother who has taken away his love. Even if he can't get back the lost honor, he must get back the lost woman.

So, on a dark and windy night, he quietly came to Aphrodite's bedside.

Looking at the sleeping beauty in front of her, she quietly lifted the quilt.
As for the god of love and beauty, in fact, he had already been breathed by the wind god, the door was not closed, the clothes were not on, and he just looked like he was picking something.

This also laid the groundwork for the disaster that followed.
