Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 202 Could it be that all the gods cannot see or hear?

A goddess slowly entered the temple.

She was wearing a tattered dark red robe, with a golden band on her forehead, her long black hair hanging down on her shoulders, and her complexion was pale and haggard.

Crash, clatter, there were chains wrapped around her thin ankles, and there were barbs on the chains. Every step she took was extremely painful, and every step she took required great determination.

She bit her lip and walked slowly towards the royal court.

The faint smell of blood came. She was wet all over, as if she had just been whipped, and blood flowed down her calves from time to time, leaving little blood stains behind her.

In full view of everyone, she finally walked to the royal court and knelt on the ground.

She slowly raised her head.

There was a hint of restlessness in the royal court. The long torture caused her to completely lose her former glory, but at this moment, the gods were still amazed by her beauty.

Not the appearance. Her left eye had been gouged out, leaving only a dark eye socket. Her pale face was covered with scars, and the wounds were already somewhat rotten. The cuffs on both sides were empty, and the arms had obviously been cut off.

But the gods were still amazed by her gentle and calm temperament, her elegance and dignity, and even though only her body was left, she was still dazzling.

She stared at Zeus on the throne, neither humble nor arrogant.

Metis, the first wife of Zeus, the goddess of wisdom.

"My husband..." she said softly.

Zeus did not answer.

Her eyes trembled slightly, then she lowered her head and whispered: "My king."

"The sinner... Metis has an audience."

"Sister!!!" Next to him, Eurynome jumped up and down, raising his severed arm high, "Sister!!"

"Sister." Metis turned her head. This was the first time she saw Eurynome after being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. She saw the severed arm in Eurynome's hand, the blood at the corner of her mouth, and her bright smile.

She also showed a gentle smile, "Sister, be good."

"Yes." Eurynome nodded, and she whispered: "Sister, come next to me."

Metis lost all his divine power and his feet were bound by chains. It was difficult to even take a step. How could he stand up? But she nodded and whispered, "Okay."

Eurynome looked into the void and raised her hand, as if Metis really came over and took her hand.

Metis was still kneeling where he was.

"Metis, even the muse in charge of drama, I'm afraid her acting skills are not as good as yours."

"Above the royal court, please stop playing this drama of sisterly love."

In the distance, a lazy voice came.

In the middle of the night, the sky is in full bloom.

Among the thousands of lights, a brilliant rainbow road descended from the sky and was paved in the main hall.

Previously, whether it was the wheat field where Demeter walked and was born, or the sea of ​​flowers where Eurynome walked and was born, all withered.

Seven peacocks walked into the hall with their heads held high.

The moment they stepped into the hall, they opened their screens together, and the bright light made the gods couldn't help but cover their eyes.

Prometheus realized in advance that he had already created a divine shield to protect his eyes. The waves surged around Poseidon and swallowed up the precious light. Thousands of undead spirits around Hades mixed up and created a darkness to resist the divine light. .

The peacock gave way to a path, and a goddess with a humble posture walked into the hall with her head lowered. Behind her are gorgeous rainbow wings, and there are seven pupils of different colors in her eye sockets.

Elise, the rainbow goddess, can turn into a rainbow and travel between heaven and earth to convey her master's orders. Whenever she appears, it means that her master's will has come.

The Rainbow Goddess lowered her body and stood aside. Outside the gate, countless cuckoos flew in, each with a lily in its mouth.

Cuckoos fly in the sky, lilies fall slowly from the sky.     In the rain of flowers, the goddess appears.

She stepped on the rainbow road, stepping on lilies, with a noble and elegant temperament, and the overbearing fragrance surged in like a sea wave.

She was dressed in gorgeous robes and wore a crown inlaid with pomegranate seeds and peacock feathers. Her arms were as white as milk, she was luxurious and shining, and she was supremely glorious.

Behind her, there were three golden beads floating forever, the middle one reflecting the phantoms of all the wives in the world of Olympus, shining brightly.

The seventh wife of Zeus, the main wife, the guardian of marriage and all women, the "white-armed one", the goddess who shares the supreme power of Olympus with Zeus, Hera!

"You think so, Metis?" Hera walked up to Metis and said with a smile.

Metis was unmoved, lowered his head, and whispered: "Dear Queen God, I did not show any sisterly affection. The love between Eurynome and me is true."

"Hahaha!" Hera said in a deep voice: "You usually tremble with fear when you see me. How come you are calmer today?"

"As long as I pretend to be afraid of you, I can temporarily satisfy you, and I will suffer less torture. Today in the royal court, I don't have to pretend anymore."

"..."

Hera's face was a little distorted, and she took a deep breath, "Metis, you are really smart. The smarter you are, the more I hate you."

Then, she said viciously: "Metis, I saw it just now. At this time, you are still trying to please the gods with your appearance. Just with your rotten face, you can still make the gods happy." God marvels.”

"I will cut off your nose and replace it with a boar's nose. I will dig out all your eyes and stuff them with stones. Metis, what else will you have to show off then?"

"Queen God, I believe you can do it. But I don't mean to show off my appearance. The gods marvel at my beauty, and it's not my face. Sometimes, beauty is not as simple as you think."

"Okay." Hera smiled instead of getting angry, "Metis, your mouth is really smart. See, I should use a mouse's tail to sew your mouth shut."

She walked past Metis, who was kneeling on the ground, and sat on the throne.

"The King of Gods, Mount Olympus, the Underworld, the Ocean, and all the gods have arrived." Next to him, Prometheus stood up, "Except for the last one, Aphrodite, the God of Love and Beauty."

"Aphrodite is not here." The dragon looked around with the power of his eyes and thought in his heart: "This is normal. Aphrodite has always despised the authority of Olympus. In the past, Zeus asked her to go to the underworld. , supervising the competition in the underworld, but she goes to have fun and doesn't care."

"Got it." Zeus nodded, "Then the dinner of the gods begins now."

It was said to be a dinner party, but there were no tables or food in the hall.

The Dinner of the Gods is the place where conflicts in Olympus break out and are resolved.

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, a goddess came out from the side.

Her white belt covered her eyes, she was cold and noble, and the silver sword in her hand sparkled.

"God King Zeus, what crime did Metis commit? Please make it clear to God King."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the royal court was tense to freezing point.

"Here we come...!!" The dragon muttered silently in his heart, "Themis will definitely take action to avenge Metis' injustice!"

"If Metis has indeed committed a crime and should be judged by the law and thrown into the abyss, why did the God King hand her over to the God Queen?"

"If Metis has not committed any crime, then the God King should set her free."

In the royal court, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zeus sat on the throne without saying a word, while Hera stood beside him with a gloomy expression.

Boom! ! !

The law runes of Queen Themis shined crazily, the huge silver scales burst out with surging divine power, the wind roared, blowing Themis' white clothes, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

She raised the silver sword in her hand, "Am I in darkness and silence?"

"Metis was tortured so cruelly and unfairly."

"Can't all the gods see and hear?"
