Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 100 Chapter 099, Competition for the Most Beautiful Goddess

"Hestia, I can see you really want to go."

Hades closed the invitation card sent by the Goddess Gaia, and inadvertently glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Next to him, Hestia, half of her round buttocks pressed against the armrest of the throne, had a pair of cute big and cute eyes. The eyes are sparkling and bright.

"Uh-huh!"

Hestia nodded her little head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said excitedly: "Hades, my dear brother, let's go together and take your other two sisters with you!"

"can."

Hades nodded, and then saw his eldest sister Hestia, as happy as a child, jumping out of the palace.

Soon, five goddesses appeared in the Temple of Hades. Needless to say, there were three sisters. The remaining two were Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and Metis, the goddess of wisdom.

In addition to him, the other people who received invitations were the two goddesses who should have been in heaven according to the original timeline. Goddess Gaia also invited them, and Hades knew this.

Standing up from the throne and looking at the five goddesses walking side by side, Hades' eyes lingered on his three sisters for a while.

These days, apart from Hestia, he has never met the other two people who are dealing with the government affairs of the underworld in the Temple of Hades. Of course, this is normal. The second sister Demeter is the kind of gentle and generous person. Girls will not disturb Hades when he is busy and are very considerate and tolerant.

As for Hera, Hades didn't have much verbal communication with his third sister. Hera was too cold-tempered and noble.

Somewhat similar to Hades' temperament.

However, Hades believed that his emotions became indifferent because he was affected by his own authority.

It's normal for two people who don't like to talk to have any interactions or emotional exchanges.

"Let's go."

Hades summoned the Gate of the Underworld and walked in first.

With the five goddesses, Hades came to the world, stepped on the earth again, and got a message. After determining the direction, he took the five goddesses and crossed the layers of space. In a few moments, he was Across thousands of miles.

Hades arrived at the banquet hosted by the Goddess Gaia, where all the gods had gathered. When he arrived, he found that his two younger brothers, Poseidon and Zeus, had also arrived, carrying their respective Female companion.

There is no doubt that Zeus has two wives, Mnemosyne and Eurynome. Of course, in addition to these two wives, there are other beautiful goddesses. Hades has never seen them. It seems that they are Newly pursued recently.

Poseidon's side seems to be relatively lonely. Except for an ocean goddess conceived by the Ocean God couple, there are no other female companions.

However, it is worth mentioning that Poseidon has recovered most of his ocean origins. It can be seen what he has been doing during this time.

The arrival of Hades attracted the attention of Poseidon and Zeus. They looked at their former eldest brother and smiled slightly to show their respect.

Hades nodded and took the five goddesses beside him to Goddess Gaia and sat down behind the table that had been prepared long ago.

Even though the three kings are now in a competitive relationship, they still have to do it on the surface. After all, no matter who becomes the God King in the end, he needs to win the surrender of the other two kings, and make some important decisions that also require the consent of the other two kings. Only with approval can it be implemented.

Most of the gods invited to this banquet are from the heaven or the sea. It can be seen that the gods of the underworld are not popular in the world, but that is normal.

And Hades also knew that if he were not Pluto, one of the three kings, he would probably not be invited here to participate in this feast. After all, the underworld is a representative of all negative and bad things, and has always been ignored by the gods in this world. Accepted and welcomed.

Hades didn't care about this either.

Zeus was very gentlemanly and talked gently with the goddesses beside him, completely ignoring his wife Mnemosyne sitting next to him. Oh, by the way, the other party didn't care anyway.

Zeus is very satisfied with Mnemosyne, which does not prevent him from pursuing the goddess, which is very good, except that Mnemosyne has not had any communication with him recently.

But he doesn't care about this. He doesn't lack this one anyway, and it's the same with being able to communicate with other goddesses, as long as Mnemosyne can always support him.

While chatting and laughing with the goddesses, Zeus looked at his brother Hades with envious eyes from time to time. The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, who had never appeared in the world, had already followed his brother. .

This is something that would make all the male gods in the world jealous!

Ever since he saw Aphrodite on the sacred mountain last time, he felt that he might have fallen in love again. He was attracted by Aphrodite's unparalleled beauty and the seductive temperament emanating from her body, and he couldn't help but feel I fell in love with this beauty.

The banquet began after Hades arrived, and the gods were immersed in joy and tasted Gaia's delicious creations.

These are some weird fruits, with different colors, different shapes, and different juices that may be sticky or thin, but it is undeniable that every one of them tastes good.

This is the conclusion Hades came to after tasting a red fruit.

"Dear gods, I am glad that you can come to the banquet I am hosting."

Goddess Gaia appeared at this time, still wearing a green dress, walking slowly from a distance, with a gentle and tolerant smile on her face.

It seems that he has forgotten his previous unpleasant experience on the sacred mountain.

Hades looked thoughtful when he saw this scene.

"Great Mother of the Gods, this is serious. It is our honor to be able to attend the banquet hosted by you!"

"Yes, great mother of the gods, we are very happy to come to the banquet you are hosting!"

As one person spoke, the gods on the scene also sounded compliments one after another.

Gaia didn't care about this, and her smiling eyes paused for a moment in front of the three kings, and then took out the divine object that had been prepared: "This is the first golden apple born in this world after the creation of the world. It has extraordinary significance, and its value is unmatched by other golden apples."

"You are the gods you know. First of all, it is always easy to be remembered by the gods, and it is always easy to get preferential treatment from the world, and this golden apple also has the same meaning."

Gaia was holding a golden apple in her hand, and suddenly she frowned again, very confused: "But there is only one golden apple that was born. I think it should be given to the most beautiful goddess in the world."

"And there were many beautiful goddesses at the banquet..." Gaia was in trouble with her choice, her tone was very doubtful, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

The caring people at the scene noticed this, and a voice soon sounded among the gods: "Respect the great mother of the gods, please don't be confused! There is undoubtedly only one most beautiful goddess in the world, and that is Pluto. The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, is by my side!”

"Yes! That is the most beautiful goddess, and this is recognized by the world!"

"God of beauty! God of beauty! God of beauty!"

Within the banquet, a crowd of cheers for Aphrodite soon appeared, and they were very excited. A lot of male gods' eyes were shining brightly, staring at Aphrodite not far away. Dite was so excited that she raised her arms and shouted the name of the goddess in their hearts.

In response to this situation, Aphrodite smiled politely in front of a group of male gods shouting their god's name.

All the gods thought she was the most beautiful goddess in the world, and she was undoubtedly happy because this was not only an affirmation of her appearance, but also an affirmation of her authority.

After all, no girl does not love beauty, and so do gods. Not to mention standing out among all the beautiful goddesses, Aphrodite suddenly felt a sense of superiority in her heart.

I believe that no girl can remain calm when faced with such a situation.

"It seems that Aphrodite has finally returned to her favor."

Following the wishes of the gods, Gaia looked at the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, with a gentle smile on her face. She was about to walk over to present the award and stopped when she handed over the golden apple in her hand.

"Please wait a moment, dear Gaia, the Mother of the Gods."

Zeus, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.

The gentle voice made Gaia, who was walking towards Aphrodite, stop, turn around, and look at Zeus who suddenly spoke in confusion.

A group of obsessed male gods who were also shouting the name of Aphrodite also stopped shouting and looked at Zeus in confusion.

Facing the gazes of the gods, Zeus put down the cup in his hand and smiled slightly: "I think the most beautiful goddess in the world is not only Aphrodite, my dear sister Hera is equally beautiful."

After a pause, he stood up and said loudly: "All the male gods present, please clean your sharp eyes and take a good look. If you are just competing for beauty, I believe that I respect my dear sister Hera. Equally beautiful and beautiful.”

At this point, Zeus stopped again, faced Hera, smiled and bent down to do the Western gentleman's ceremony: "And in my heart, in the heart of my younger brother, my sister is the most beautiful goddess in the world. ,none of them."

Hera, who was suddenly nominated, was at a loss. She thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, and that the title of the most beautiful goddess would definitely fall on Aphrodite, but now her brother Zeus suddenly mentioned , and publicly supported himself.

This made her feel a little happy. After all, there is no goddess who doesn't want to be the most beautiful.

"Yes, I think Zeus is right."

After Zeus spoke, Poseidon also spoke, with a gentle tone: "Although Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty in the world, she is not necessarily the most beautiful goddess. This is just the authority and divine status given to her by the world. She cannot As the basis for her most beauty.”

"As Zeus said, in terms of beauty, my sister Hera is not inferior to Aphrodite. This is reasonable and all the gods can see it. I believe that the gods There is no objection.”

Poseidon talked about the truth and said: "And the meaning of beauty includes various meanings. We cannot judge a person's beauty by his face alone. Beauty is heart-warming and desirable. It cannot be reflected by his face alone." .”

"Wisdom is also a kind of beauty, so I think Metis, the goddess of wisdom who belongs to the ocean god system, is the most beautiful goddess in the world."

After going around in such a long circle, Poseidon finally turned his attention to Metis and got to the point.

Looking at Poseidon who suddenly nominated him, Metis was not surprised. He gave a shallow smile of knowledge and thanked Poseidon for his recognition.

Zeus's speech undoubtedly made it clear that he wanted to pursue Hera, and Poseidon had a similar idea, and he believed that it would be easier for him to succeed than Zeus.

After all, he is the King of the Sea, and Metis, the goddess of wisdom, is the goddess of the ocean. Both belong to the ocean god system.

Gods who belong to the same pantheon have similar powers, and the same pantheon will make them feel close. Many gods have become husbands and wives because of this.

For example, the Oceanus couple, or the two more ancient gods of darkness and night. They all formed a couple because they belonged to the same divine system, were close to each other, and were familiar with each other.

Therefore, Poseidon believed that it would be very easy for him to pursue Metis, the goddess of wisdom. After all, they both belonged to the ocean god system.

"Yes, I know what the King of Heaven said is right. The noble Hera is the most beautiful goddess in the world!"

"No, I think what the Poseidon said is the truth. The wise Highness Metis is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

After such a commotion, the banquet suddenly became a quarrel again and was divided into three factions. One faction supported Aphrodite, one supported Hera, and one supported Metis.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on Aphrodite's beautiful face, not because of anything else, but because she had just said that Hera and Metis were the most beautiful goddesses in the world, and some of them had supported her just now.

Now after someone else said this, he actually switched sides? !

This makes her, a goddess of beauty, a little embarrassed about her face.

None of the three factions were convinced by the other, and they all believed that the goddess they supported was the most beautiful goddess in the world. For this reason, a fight almost broke out at the scene, and the gods of different factions were chanting the name of the girl they supported.

There was chaos at the banquet.

"Quiet!"

At this moment, Gaia, the mother of the gods, spoke, and her gentle voice easily calmed down the noise present.

Facing this mother of gods, the first god born in the world of Khaos, the gods did not dare to show the slightest disrespect and quickly became quiet.

After the banquet returned to calm, Gaia relaxed her frown. She was also very interested in who was the most beautiful goddess among Hera, Metis, and Aphrodite. Worried about not being able to choose.

Finally, she smiled and looked at Hades: "What's your opinion? Hades, who do you think is the most beautiful goddess?"
