Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 167 The Birth of Two Gods
Unexpectedly, Poseidon knew what Zeus had done.

The king of gods suddenly smiled awkwardly, at a loss, "Since you know, can you help me?"

"no!!"

Before he finished speaking, he was denied by Sea God.

Zeus couldn't help being stunned, "Why? We are brothers."

"Yeah, you're right." Poseidon stretched out his little finger, gently scratched his ears, and then blew away a little bit of earwax.

"You are my brother, but Hera is also my sister. What can I do?"

Sea God innocently shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, showing a look of helplessness.

In fact, in the bottom of his heart, he has his own philosophy of dealing with things. He doesn't like Zeus at all. In addition, if he rejects Zeus, he is still the god of the sea, but if he rejects Hera, think about what that crazy woman will do. Trick against you?

Men's minds don't care about those little things, but women are different.

When quarreling, she can tell you all the wrong things you have done in detail.

If you offend Hera today, she will write it down in a small notebook tomorrow, and if you do something yourself the day after tomorrow, this is a good opportunity for others to settle the old score.

Therefore, if you offend anyone, don't offend women.

Hearing his words, Zeus felt helpless, but he really couldn't see Leto being hurt like this, so he could only lower his face and beg the other party.

Poseidon was so annoyed by such soft and hard things, and finally had no choice but to agree to help.

That night, Leto drifted with the boat, and she ate up all the dried meat in the bucket, because children need a lot of nutrition to grow, but Leto was tortured by all kinds of sufferings, and he was as thin as a stick.

Only the big belly looks a little fleshy. I believe it can be foreseen that the fetus in the belly must be hungry and waiting to be fed.

Because recently they were more and more pretentious, every movement would make Leto feel unbearable pain, paralyzed on the boat, unable to move.

However, maybe her ordeal is coming to an end at this moment. During her deep sleep, Poseidon made a move quietly.

A wave pushed the boat, and it moved quietly under the cover of night. When Leto opened her eyes again, she came to a small island named "Island of Delos". Zeus used divine power to make it float on the The eddies between the Cyclades islands are not connected to the seabed.

The "Island of Delos" is free from Gaia's curse because it cannot touch the earth.

Leto finally found a moment of peace here.

Exhausted, she used her last ounce of strength to climb onto the beach of the island. At this moment, a seabird bumped into a coconut tree and immediately knocked down a coconut. The coconut rolled down and hit the stone hard. Go up, suddenly knock out a hole.

Then, it rolled straight into Leto's mouth.

The sweet taste awakened the consciousness of the goddess. She quickly picked up the coconut and drank it in big gulps.

In the days that followed, she acted like a god, and when she wanted something to eat, an animal hit a tree immediately, and by coincidence, she took advantage of it.

Those who want to eat vegetarian can easily find sweet berries in the forest.

Such caring care finally allowed her to develop some vitality, and the children could also get enough nutrition.

When her complexion gradually recovered and the day of childbirth was ushered in, her first child was finally born on the island.

It was a bright girl who was born to run and jump with lightning speed and dexterity.

If you compare Nezha in the East, the girl at this moment is more enchanting.

Leto angrily named her: "Artemis", that is, the future goddess of hunting, goddess of the moon, etc. She is always as vigorous as a cheetah, and can break trees with bare hands.

After giving birth to her, Leto thought he could be freed, but unfortunately, it was not over yet.

The abdominal pain continued, and her other child was stuck in the birth canal and could not come out.

Leto never imagined that after escaping the curse of the mother of the earth, her road to childbirth would be so twists and turns, and she could only use force again and again, trying to give birth to the child.

However, the baby was stuck, no matter how hard she tried, it was completely useless.

At the critical moment, the newly born Artemis took the initiative to help his mother deliver the baby.

You may find it unbelievable, what kind of unnatural behavior is it to help the mother deliver the baby just after birth?

But when it comes to thinking that Zeus and the goddess of memory fell in love for nine days and nine nights, and they could give birth to a daughter every day, and nine muses in succession, everyone is not surprised.

God, there is always something unique, otherwise it will not show the difference from people.

With the help of Artemis, another child was finally born smoothly. When the little boy uttered his first cry, both mother and daughter cried out in surprise.The boy's hair was not so shiny black as his mother's or his sister's, but blond, inherited from his grandmother, Phoebe, the oracle.

Leto named him "Apollo", and in honor of his birthplace, he was sometimes called "Apollo of Delos".

The birth of the newborn made the mother and daughter very happy, but the pain the mother endured during childbirth also terrified Artemis.

Her young heart, like being hit by a big pussy, has caused permanent heart damage.

One night, the mother and daughter snuggled together, and Artemis hid in her mother's arms like a dodging kitten, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.

"Mom, why does my brother look different from me? He is longer than me in one place."

she asked innocently.

Leto couldn't help laughing, "Because he is a man, but you are a woman. Men and women are different."

"Oh~" Artemis groaned softly, and asked again: "Do women have to get married?"

"Of course, you will meet someone who loves you, and you will be with you until you grow old." Leto answered her patiently.

Artemis was dissatisfied: "Does that mean you have to have children after you get married? It's just like you did at the beginning."

Mentioning this, a look of fear appeared on the little girl's face. She couldn't forget her mother's heart-piercing screams back then.

Leto wondered why she asked such a question, but replied truthfully: "Of course, childbearing is the most basic right of every woman."

"Then is it every woman's right not to give birth?" Artemis seemed to have grasped the blind spot and keenly found the core of the problem.

Leto didn't know what she was thinking, so he nodded: "Of course, it's up to the woman to decide whether to give birth or not."

"Then I decide not to give birth!!"

Artemis jumped up triumphantly, and happily announced to her mother that the moonlight was hanging over her head, shedding a piece of silver frost on her.

"I'm going to be a virgin, always a virgin, I'm not going to marry, I'm not going to have children."
