Chapter 201 Dinner of the Gods, Goddesses

"There are so many demons behind me?"

"How could I lie to you, my child." The Queen of Hades said beside her.

Hades, Death God Thanatos, Styx Goddess Styx, Queen of Hades, and Yang Qi were all sitting in the bone chariot at the moment, slowly setting off towards the Temple of Zeus in the center of Mount Olympus.

In fact, if you have to fly there, you will be there in a short while. But the gods of the underworld must ride in cars, so that they are in line with the majesty of Hades.

Yang Qi also turned into a human form at this moment, sitting in the same car with the Queen of Hades.

"Some are extremely tall, and their whole bodies are like boiling black mist. Some are bloated and twisted, covered with various organs." The Underworld Queen raised her eyebrows, "But they have one thing in common, they all have bright red wings."

"At this moment, everyone is following behind the motorcade, blocking out the sky and the sun. It's really... spectacular."

Yang Qi looked at the back of the motorcade, which was empty, and shook his head.

Even if I mobilize all the power of my eyes and examine carefully, I will find nothing.

"It's weird that everyone can see it except me."

"I also learned this strange tongue snapping sound, which appears whenever I speak."

Yang Qi thought in his heart, "I absorbed the power of those 101 days and entered a dream. In that dream, I did see the roving demons."

"The leader is a male-female demon riding a camel, playing a flute."

"He raised his hand and then I lost my memory..."

"Riding a camel, with the body of a man and a woman?" Yang Qi kept thinking about the story in his memory, "That seems to be Paimon, the ninth among the seventy-two demon gods."

"Paimon possesses vast knowledge of the arts, sciences, and arcana. Have I gained its power?"

Yang Qi clenched his fist and didn't feel any change in his strength.

"The power of those 101 days mainly comes from the rain of arrows and snakes."

"It turns out that power is essentially Paimon's power!"

"Why did his power appear there? What kind of power did I get?"

Countless puzzles linger in Yang Qi's mind. Just as he was thinking, the Bone Chariot stopped.

"Here we are, baby." The Queen of Hades said. “Remember the strategy that was agreed upon beforehand.”

"This will never be an ordinary dinner of the gods. Don't come forward. When it's time to take action, your father and I will take action."

"You must protect yourself."

"I know." Yang Qi replied.

The Queen of Hades nodded and got off the chariot.

Yang Qi also got off the chariot.

It was midnight and the moonlight was dim.

Led by Hades, the gods of the underworld walked towards the main hall.

When Hades came to the door, a phantom of the undead rushed out of his pupils, hitting the door, and the huge golden door opened with a bang.

The gods of the underworld entered the main hall.

This is the first time Yang Qi has entered the main hall of Zeus, and it is as sacred and majestic as he imagined.

The floor of the temple is made of countless pure white marbles, outlined with thin golden lines. There are many towering pillars, each carved with exquisite divine patterns, supporting the huge dome. Above the dome, thousands of stars flowed, as if directly supporting the sky.

"The work of Astraea, the goddess of meteors." The Queen of the Underworld looked at the dome and whispered with her divine breath, "There is a rumor in Olympus that the real sky can reach the end of the sky and find the body of the first god king. The sky is actually the dome of the Temple of Zeus."

"And the sky outside is an illusion created by Zeus."

"He already rules all the earth, but he also wants to claim the sky as his own."

The most eye-catching thing in the hall is a statue.

A god was kneeling on the ground. He was holding a broken sickle, and behind him were huge wings. However, his head had been chopped off, and a huge sword was stuck on his chest.

A god stood beside him, holding his head in his hands.

Although it is just a statue, the terrifying and murderous intention seems to have condensed into a solid object, constantly bursting out.

"This is the scene where Zeus kills his father...he actually made a statue that stands in the hall." Yang Qi thought to himself.

"Zeus dare not forget the Titan Curse for a day. He erected this statue to remind himself every day that he is also in the Titan Curse. One day, he will be overthrown by his descendants." The Queen of the Underworld used God Xi whispered.

After passing the statue, you will reach the royal court.

On the throne, King Zeus is watching the gods.

He was wearing a luxurious golden battle suit, and thousands of phantoms condensed into a huge illusion, flowing endlessly behind him. He had no pupils, and his eyes erupted with piercing light of thunder.

He does not have a thread of destiny, but a dome of destiny, suspended above his head.

Under the royal court, on the left are the gods on Mount Olympus, such as Astraea, the goddess of meteors, and Aurora, the goddess of dawn. The leader is naturally Prometheus, the god of prophets and foresight.

On the right side are the gods of the ocean, led by Poseidon.

When Poseidon saw Hades, he couldn't help but said: "My brother, you are late. How long do you want the God King to wait?"

"I came not too late, the Moon Deer Car was at the highest point in the sky, and we arrived at midnight." Hades said.

"Dear Pluto, no matter what, you let the God King wait for you. Doesn't the underworld have a sense of time?"

"The underworld is the same as the god world. We are all blessed by the god of time. But when you are looking for octopuses for a night of fun, you will forget all about time." Hades said, "Besides, let the god It’s not me the king is waiting for.”

Poseidon wanted to say something else. At this time, Prometheus came out and whispered to Zeus: "God King, except for your wives, all the gods have arrived."

After Prometheus finished speaking, he returned to the queue and glanced at the son of the underworld in the distance.

He saw that behind the Son of the Underworld, countless demons spread their wings and flew non-stop, almost covering the dome of the hall.

Naturally, all the gods saw it and were not surprised.

There are many Olympian gods with strange visions.

But Prometheus is different. Since the last meeting, he has paid special attention to the son of the underworld.

"There weren't these weird creatures last time. What happened to the Son of the Underworld? Moreover, his power seems to be much stronger than before. How could he progress so fast?"

"All Titan bloodlines practice the secrets in the Titan's memory, so their speeds should be about the same. It's strange..." Prometheus thought to himself.

"Sure enough, the wives of Zeus haven't come yet." At the same time, Yang Qi also looked around at the gods.

"I have seen all the wives of Zeus, except for the one, Mnemosyne, the god of memory. She sealed herself in a palace like an eggshell and did not take a step out for a long time. Today, she will Coming?"

"Before, I still conveyed the news to her through dreams."

For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet, and the gods had their own thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden door of the Temple of Zeus was pushed open with a bang.

A noble figure appeared in front of the door.

……

It was midnight, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, spreading on the sea of ​​flowers in front of the temple, making it extremely quiet.

The goddess stepped across the sea of ​​flowers under the moonlight.

She wore a pure white robe, with a girdle as pure as snow covering her eyes. Holding a silver sword, his temperament is holy and noble, like an iceberg looming in the misty sea.

She walked towards the main hall and pushed open the heavy golden door.

There are countless legal inscriptions hidden behind her, which are constantly shining and condensed into a mysterious and majestic book of the law. Under the Book of the Law is a silver scale.

The goddess of law, "the shining noble one", the second wife of Zeus, and the most powerful goddess in Olympus at present, Themis, opened the door and entered the palace.

"Themis."

Themis entered the temple, and the gods in the temple nodded slightly and greeted her in low voices.

Themis held an extraordinary position in Olympus and was highly respected.

Themis glanced around and nodded slightly in return. Finally, she raised her head and stared at Zeus on the throne, and the empty seat of the Queen of Gods standing beside him.

"Here we come." Yang Qi glanced at Themis and turned around.

Themis looked calm, but there was some kind of fire raging under the undercurrent.

Themis will obviously be the focus of this dinner of the gods.

She would stand up and ask Zeus to release Metis and grant her freedom.

Then, the door opened again, and a goddess walked into the temple.

Behind her were seven nymphs, spitting out silver coins and jewels from their mouths. As she walked in the hall, golden ears of wheat grew on the marble floor.

The goddess is tall and plump, taller than all the gods present. She wears a wreath made of wheat ears, and behind her is a trumpet full of flowers.

Goddess of agriculture, fourth wife of Zeus, Demeter.

She is also the mother of the Queen of Hades, and in theory, the dragon's grandmother. "My husband." Demeter nodded towards Zeus. She looked around the hall, "My husband, my king, don't you think this hall is too simple? I can decorate it with the most luxurious treasures. By then, it will It will shine brighter at night than the brightest stars.”

"Demeter, your palace is enough to blind the eyes of ordinary creatures. I don't need such a luxurious palace, but I thank you for your kindness." Zeus replied.

Demeter nodded and stood next to Themis.

"When the goddess of agriculture comes in, she calls Zeus her husband and talks to him. But when Themis comes in, she doesn't say a word." Yang Qi thought to himself, "Sure enough, Themis and Zeus have a grudge."

Squeak—yeah, at this moment, a heavy sound sounded, and the door of the temple was slowly opened.

A young girl stretched out her white wings behind her and slowly flew in.

Her figure is very thin, as if she is still a child, but her wings are extremely wide. She wears a mask with a crying expression carved on it.

Then, the second girl flew in. She looked exactly like the first girl, except that she wore a mask with a happy expression on her face.

Then the third and fourth girls, a total of nine girls, flew into the hall.

As they flew into the hall, there was some restlessness among the gods.

"Muse...they are here!"

"This means that the mysterious goddess of memory, who has sealed herself for endless years, is also here?!" the gods discussed softly.

"Muse?" Yang Qi's heart moved, and he remembered the story in the record.

These nine Muses are the children of the Goddess of Memory!

Zeus once invaded the goddess of memory in a dream, and the goddess of memory gave birth to nine muses through the dreams of all living beings.

The Muse represents all literature and art in the world. For example, in the first one, the girl with the crying mask represents "tragedy", and the girl with the crying mask represents "comedy".

"The Muses are coming together, which means the goddess of memory is also coming!"

Yang Qi felt a strange yet familiar divine power coming from outside the hall!

Strange because the memory power of the Memory Goddess is a very special and niche power, but familiar because Yang Qi’s own dream power comes directly from the power of memory!

All the gods looked towards the door, expecting the arrival of the goddess of memory.

Bang - the nine muses spread their white wings together, covering the temple door tightly.

Then, a goddess walked in.

The wings of the Muses formed a white circle in which the goddess of memory was wrapped.

The goddess of memory, covered by the wings of the muse, slowly walked into the hall.

"..."

Just now, the rather noisy hall suddenly became quiet, except for a few slight sounds of annoyance.

Because the goddess of memory has sealed herself away, all the gods in Olympus have never seen her face. Even Prometheus, who is famous for his knowledge, has never seen her face.

Only Zeus himself, who once attacked the goddess of memory in his dream, may know what the goddess of memory looks like.

Therefore, when the goddess of memory came just now, the gods were a little curious and wanted to know what the goddess of memory looked like. As a result, she was completely covered by the wings of the muse and could not be seen clearly.

"..." From a distance, Yang Qi shook his head.

He had also visited Zeus's wives one by one before, but he did not see the goddess of memory. He was also curious about what the goddess of memory looked like.

Just now, he tried to use the power of his eyes to get past the obstruction of the Muse, but found that the goddess of memory was covered with countless memory chains, covering her tightly.

On top of the chain are huge locks. If you want to open the lock and see the appearance of the goddess of memory, you must have the corresponding memory and condense the key.

Yang Qi did not try to crack it.

"Sure enough, none of the wives of Zeus are ordinary... If you want to see what the goddess of memory looks like, you need countless specific memories to open the memory chains surrounding her..." Yang Qi thought to himself.

The Muses surrounded the goddess of memory and came to the center of the hall. She did not speak, but stood next to Demeter.

Then, another goddess walked into the hall.

She is wearing a plain gray robe, has a slightly chubby figure, round eyes, a beautiful nose and red lips, and some baby fat. She is quite cute.

"Ah!" She walked in and was immediately startled when she saw the gods gathered together.

It is Leto, the goddess of nurturing and the sixth wife of Zeus.

"!!!" In the distance, Astraea, the goddess of meteors, glared at her fiercely and whispered with her breath: "Sister! Don't be afraid! Pay attention to your manners!"

"What did I tell you! You are the wife of the King of Gods. You don't look directly at her. You come over openly, say hello to the King of Gods, and then stand next to the goddess of memory!"

"Oh. Oh." Leto nodded, rubbed his clothes nervously, then raised his head, looked at Zeus and the gods on the throne, and walked over slowly.

At this moment, an invisible peacock feather quietly flew into the hall and landed in front of Leto.

"boom!!!"

Leto stepped on the feather, slipped, and fell hard to the ground.

Leto screamed, obviously falling very badly.

"..."

The gods stared at her without saying a word, and Zeus remained silent.

Only Astraea almost jumped, but she tried her best to hold it back.

Leto's face turned red and she tried to stand up with support, but the feather seemed to be stuck to her feet, making it impossible to stand up.

Finally, Zeus waved his hand, and Prometheus stepped forward, helped her up, and walked to the queue.

I don’t know when that feather disappeared.

Leto stood in the queue, bowing his head and saying nothing, but in the quiet hall, a slight, almost inaudible cry could be heard.

……

The door opens again.

"my husband!!!"

With a clear, high-pitched cry of joy, a goddess jumped in from the door.

"Hey!"

She jumped over the threshold like a child playing skipping stones, and the scent of tender grass, flowers and earth after rain hit her nostrils.

She was wearing a light green robe, with two butterfly wings behind her, and a small sapling above her head, jumping up and down, looking like a child.

"my husband!!!"

With a smile on her face, she opened her hands and ran towards Zeus. Where she walked, flowers bloomed on the marble.

The second wife of Zeus, the goddess of water plants and pastures, the youngest of the three thousand daughters of the ocean, Eurynome.

The sister of Metis, the goddess of wisdom.

"Stop her," Zeus whispered.

Prometheus walked out silently. He raised a finger, and his divine power condensed into a protective shield, which stood in the hall.

Bang - Like a sponge, Eurynome stopped on his own before he touched the divine protective shield.

"Hey——!!" Eurunome was smiling all over her face. She jumped into the air, as if she wanted to hug someone, and she was suspended in the air.

"My husband, my king!!" She said to the air, "I miss you! I miss you!"

"Hmm - hee hee." Then she seemed to hear some answer and turned her face playfully.

"That's right! My king, look at this." Eurynome suddenly raised his hand, "The candy Hera gave me! My sister also said it is delicious! Do you want to eat it?"

She didn't hold any candy in her hand. In her hand, she held an arm, dripping with blood and full of bite wounds.

The arm was unusually pale, and it goes without saying that he knew whose it belonged to.

It was extremely quiet in the temple, and the gods just stared at her, watching her suspended in the air, holding a severed arm in her hand, with her face full of sunshine and a happy and bright smile.

"That's enough." Zeus waved his hand again.

Before Prometheus could come out, Eurynome jumped down from the air, "Yes, yes, yes, I know, there is a meeting. You go ahead, I won't say much!"

She jumped into the queue and stood next to Leto.

"Euruno Mo..." Yang Qi looked at her from a distance and thought in his heart. "The goddess who knows how to deceive herself the most...the goddess of eternal happiness..."

"So now, five of Zeus's seven wives have appeared."

"The last two are left."

"Metis, the first wife of Zeus, mother of Athena, and goddess of wisdom."

"The seventh wife of Zeus, the Queen of the Gods, Hera."

The door opens.
