Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 54 Zeus' Friends and Relatives
In the imagination of Atlas, the Temple of Olympus should be majestic and majestic, carefully carved and shaped by sculptors, with gorgeous patterns and bright white decorations, tidying up like a kingdom of heaven.

But when he stepped into the residence of Zeus and other gods, all he saw was a cold and damp cave, not even a decent table.

The simplicity and poverty of the gods can be seen from this.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zeus couldn't hide his embarrassment, and hurriedly called out the gods to meet Atlas one by one.

"My sincere friend, please allow me to introduce you," he said, pointing to a simple beauty, "this is my eldest sister Hestia, she is a gentle and quiet goddess, the one who holds the fire Powerful, wise, and worthy of the respect of all of us."

Atlas looked at each other after hearing the words, it seems that most of the gods are handsome, and Hestia is no exception, she is not always cold like Nemesis, but always has a warm smile like a candle, Calm and quiet.Seeing her is like seeing a tutor, and you can always feel the sweetness of intelligence.

In the future when the gods of Olympus are in power, Hestia is one of the twelve main gods. Later, because he couldn't stand the pursuit of his younger brother Poseidon and nephew Apollo, he voluntarily abdicated and was bestowed by Zeus as the "vesta god". Position.

At the same time, she is also one of the three virgin gods in Greek mythology.

Atlas nodded to her, and Hestia returned a reserved smile.

Next, Zeus looked at another goddess, "This is my second sister, the benevolent Demeter. She can make the land fertile and the plants flourish, and she can also make everything wither so that no grass can grow. She is a very A mighty god."

He seems to be showing his strength, focusing on the power and power of the gods, in order to win the approval of Atlas.

Qing Tianshen was keenly aware of his careful thinking, and when he heard the words, he showed a surprised expression in a timely manner, and looked at Demeter with reverence in his eyes.

As the goddess of harvest, the other party wears a ring-shaped crown woven with golden wheat ears, with a kind face.

In order to cooperate with her younger brother and show her strength, she cupped her hands with a shriveled seed in her palm.

Gently bury the seed in the soil to activate the divine power, and in an instant, green light filled her body, and dots of green light surrounded her like fireflies, and the seed immediately germinated and broke out of the ground.

In just ten seconds, it grew into an apple tree as tall as a person.

The fruit trees are full of bright red apples, and bursts of fruity aromas pour into the nostrils, making people unable to help but be intoxicated.

Picking off a few apples at random, she presented the apples to everyone, "Please forgive me, I can only use these things as entertainment in such a poor environment."

Atlas waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, "It's already a blessing I have cultivated all my life to eat apples planted by the goddess herself."

Demeter was so teased by her that she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, and the other gods also smiled.

Who would have thought that this kind goddess would become one of Zeus' lovers in the future and give birth to a woman named "Persephone" with her.

And Persephone will be plundered by Hades and returned to the underworld, becoming the wife of Hades, the queen of the underworld.

The most surprising thing is that Zeus will never forget this child in the future, secretly transformed into the appearance of Hades, and gave birth to the ghostly Melinoe together with Persephone.

After Hades plundered Demeter's daughter, Poseidon launched a frantic pursuit of the poor mother on her way to find her.

During the period, in order to avoid the other party, she turned into a mare and wandered among the herds. As a result, Poseidon directly turned into a stallion, and the two horses combined to give birth to the god horse Arion.

Thinking of these absurd futures, Atlas has a sense of absurdity that "people in the city really know how to play". Needless to say, the Greek gods seem to have engraved the desire to reproduce into their bones.

Zeus didn't know what he was thinking, and still introduced him on his own.

"This is my brother Hades, he is the controller of the plague, the executor of death, and a calm wise man."

Atlas looked at Hades. Before becoming Pluto, the other party was in charge of the theocracy of the plague, which could also bring death, that is, "death of illness, death of pain", etc. After being canonized as Pluto, this death will still represent more meanings.

That is to say, his authority over death will control more concepts as his authority continues to expand.

But at the moment Hades is still a taciturn man, with fluffy black and white curly hair and a curly beard on his face, he looks like a hermit.

He nodded to Qingtian God, but he didn't show the power of his authority, because the plague always represented the unknown, and everyone felt uncomfortable when it was released.

After that, it was Poseidon who was instantly killed by him.

"You have met my brother Poseidon. He is a reckless man. Forgiving Atlas, please don't worry about his mistakes."

Speaking of Poseidon, he mentioned it in one sentence to avoid embarrassment between the two of them again.

"The last is my youngest sister Hera, she is the embodiment of natural power." Speaking of this, he quietly told Qingtian God: "But she has a strong personality, I think she is more like my mother."

Different from the intellectual quietness of the other two goddesses, Hera seems to be naturally noble. She wears a wine-red dress and a tight belt to show her figure to the fullest. What attracts people's attention is that she is covered with gold and silver ornaments , the head hairpin is gold, the necklace is gold, and even the shoes are gold.

Perhaps luxurious can no longer describe this woman, because she is born with a noble character.

In addition to these, she also has the ultimate beauty, a pair of big and bright eyes, like a sparkling lake, seeing these eyes is like seeing herself.

This is a beautiful woman who is even more beautiful than Nemesis.

As for the incarnation of natural power, it is even more remarkable ability. To put it bluntly, the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn are all within her authority.

As for why there is no winter?
As mentioned earlier, there was no winter in the period of the Titans.

Having met his siblings, it's the turn of another goddess, Metis of Primordial Wisdom.

This is a real nobleman of Zeus. His father is Oceanus, the god of the ocean, and his mother is Tesis, the goddess of the sea.

Since the birth of Zeus, she has been entrusted by Rhea, the goddess of time, to teach him. She is his teacher and will be Zeus' lover in the future.

Zeus will be the god of the sky, the god of thunder, the god of power, and the god of all things in the future. He is the only one who resists fate and succeeds.

Probably because of the bad taste of Moros, the god of destiny, Zeus and his family seem to never be able to escape the sad choice of "the son overthrows the father".

It was the same with Uranus, it was the same with Cronus, and it was still the same when it was Zeus' turn.

Destiny has long predicted that the son born of Zeus and the wise Metis will have greater wisdom and courage than his father, and he will be the king of gods and humans.

After Zeus knew this, in order not to lose his rights, he ruthlessly devoured his lover Metis during her pregnancy.

So much so that Metis stayed in his mind forever.
