Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 137 The Difference Between a Bad Man and a Bad Woman
What are they doing in there?

Prometheus was waiting outside alone.

As time passed, she couldn't help but start to think more.

Eros was not a good man, and Hephaestus also had a bad temper.

The two have been in there for such a long time and haven't fought each other, which means they get along well.

She wanted to go and see if Eros was okay.

But just after taking a step, he stopped again.

If the two of them were having a passionate time at the moment, wouldn't my sudden interruption ruin the whole thing?

But at the same time, she was a little conflicted. What if Eros's sweet words made Hephaestus lose his mind temporarily?
As we all know, in a moment of impulse, people tend to kill to silence them.

Forget it, let’s take a look at the future.

Prometheus opened his eyes and looked towards the small room where Eros and Hephaestus were.

Although she could not see Eros's chaotic future, she could still get a glimpse of Hephaestus's.

In those empty eyes, glimpses of Hephaestus' future gradually began to be reflected.

But Prometheus did not see any other pictures, only a peaceful green that made people relax physically and mentally.

It seemed that nothing was wrong, and Prometheus felt relieved.

The prophecy itself is full of symbolism. Since she saw the harmonious green, there would be no conflict.

Sure enough, after she closed her eyes again, the door that had been closed opened again.

Prometheus, who was very observant, could tell at a glance that the clothes Eros was wearing were no longer the same as when he entered.

But there were no marks on Eros' neck, and his complexion did not look like he had just done some exercise.

Did she think too much?

Prometheus narrowed his eyes and said.

"Where's Hephaestus? Why isn't she coming out?"

"Nothing, I just gave her some ideas for a new look, so she was a little nervous."

Eros explained lightly with a smile on his face.

Then he shouted into the house:
"Why are you so nervous? Come out and let Prometheus take a look."

"Wouldn't it be better to listen to her opinion and know whether it is suitable for you?"

Hephaestus was pulled out half-forcibly, and the other party was still covering his face tightly.

This. Prometheus was glad that he had not had time to draw a conclusion.

Just by looking at Hephaestus's appearance, Prometheus understood that something must have happened between the two of them.

Should we say that Eros is too powerful a scumbag, or that Hephaestus is unexpectedly strong on the outside but weak on the inside?
I was fooled by this scumbag at first sight. I really have no memory.

But she was also a little curious about what idea Eros gave Hephaestus that made her suddenly become like this.

Under the instigation of Eros, Hephaestus still put down his hand hesitantly.

The intact half of the face remained the same, without any sign of makeup.

The half of his face that was originally covered with burn marks is now covered with a scarlet mask, spreading out like the wings of a burning butterfly.

Compared to the steel-heavy mask or the stiff face just now.

This somewhat gaudy mask could not hide the burn marks that were a source of shame and pain to Hephaestus.

But it turns the scars into beautiful patterns, and the original imperfections into the finishing touch.

Prometheus was also surprised by Hephaestus.

She had seen Hephaestus' true appearance before, at the Council of Gods.

She didn't use a false face to disguise herself at first, but she used a bad temper to protect herself.

She subconsciously covered up her own clumsiness, and the pain on her face made her rarely raise her head or hold it high, and always keep her head down.

Because God is supposed to be a perfect being, but she alone has inherent flaws.

Those are the scars left by not being able to control one's own authority, scars that cannot be healed.

So I don't know when it started, maybe it was to avoid the eyes of other gods, or maybe it was to prove that I have made up for this imperfection.

Hephaestus began to show a false face, studying the art of forging rather than mastering the power of fire.

But no matter how he tried to hide it, most gods still knew the indelible marks on Hephaestus' face.

Prometheus thought that Eros had some way to help Hephaestus remove the scar.

But unexpectedly, Eros not only did nothing, but instead removed the mask covering Hephaestus.

I put on a new mask that had no concealing effect at all.

but.
"It is indeed very beautiful, especially now that I know what it originally looked like, which makes it even more amazing."

Prometheus did not hesitate to praise and expressed his true thoughts.

Sometimes, the difference between being born with a special gift and being born with a defect is just a tiny bit.

Ultimately, it is still the issue of beauty and ugliness that Hephaestus is struggling with.

Because the scar is too ugly, it must be the damage left by the fire.

But if what is left is a beautiful pattern, it is the blessing of fire, a tattoo that symbolizes her being the God of Fire.

The more you hide it, the more it becomes clear to others that it is a weakness.

It would be better to learn more from the neighbor, the Son of God couldn't even cover his eyes with his hands, and he had to watch everyone pray to the torture device that nailed him to death. Do you think Melo Sect will like sniper rifles?
"See, I told you, I'm a professional when it comes to finding beauty."

Eros reached out and pushed back Hephaestus's bangs that were covering her eyes, and let her look at herself in the mirror in the workshop.

The scars that used to only make her irritable and disgusted now seemed not to disgust her so much.

Why on earth?

Hephaestus subconsciously touched the scars on his face. In fact, the wounds burned by the flames had healed long ago, and only traces were left.

If it weren't for looking in the mirror and the burning heat she felt when she was emotionally agitated, she might have forgotten the scar long ago.

But now, the ugly scars have turned into graceful butterfly patterns.

Hephaestus suddenly realized.

It turns out that she is the one who loves beauty!
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Eros raised the corners of his mouth.

He had completely grasped Hephaestus' inner ills.

Although inferiority complex and sensitivity cannot be completely cured in an instant, we can just wait for the seeds to germinate.

When Hephaestus truly walks out of this shadow and can face everything confidently, that will be the time for Eros to reap the rewards.

"If you are satisfied, then apologize to me for what you just said."

"Saying that I am a vulgar person who judges people by their appearance is an insult to my personality and morality."

After occupying the moral high ground, Eros began to control Hephaestus.

But Hephaestus was just a little absent-minded, looking at himself, then turning to look at Eros.

She wondered, what would happen if it was Aphrodite?
If Aphrodite had done this for herself, would she have said the same thing as Eros?
No, she would never just brush it off like that.

She would rebuke herself for what she had just said in an aggrieved tone, arousing her self-blame and empathy.

Then she would emphasize her own role, telling herself that it was because of her embellishment that her ugliness was transformed into beauty.

She will use this incident to make herself more dependent on her.

What is scary is not the dog licking, nor the licking without knowing it, but the one who knows he is licking and continues to lick.

Even though Hephaestus knew that these were all tricks and lies, she thought about it and felt that she would not remain indifferent.

Of course Eros also knows this trick, to put it bluntly, it's pua.

By belittling the other person, you emphasize your charity and your importance to her.

It is most useful for people with low self-esteem like Hephaestus.

But Eros never did this because that would erase the original selves of these goddesses.

It will only distort them into a template character, making them only able to please Eros and have no ideas of their own.

Eros still prefers natural beauties. Apart from the body, he doesn't want to leave too many traces of his own artificial sculpture.

"Indeed, I should say sorry to you."

Hephaestus finally smiled naturally for the first time today.

"I apologize for my previous misjudgment. Perhaps you are not similar to that guy."

She did feel a different feeling from Eros than from Aphrodite.

Although Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty, when she said she liked something, Hephaestus could actually sense the falsehood in it.

But Eros was different, when Hephaestus began to seriously examine him.

She will be able to discover the purity, or passion, of Eros.

I can feel his enthusiasm and interest in many things, including himself.

Even if it is just the embarrassing bitterness and greed, it is very real.

Hephaestus smiled, perhaps even happier than the change in her own appearance.

Hephaestus only smiled for a short while before returning to his original sour face.

"I've apologized, now stop staring at me."

Although his tone was bad, it was obviously because he was not used to the looks Eros and Prometheus were giving him right now.

In order to change the subject and stop the two from staring at him, Hephaestus returned to the original topic.

"Since you helped me, I won't charge you for the labor. I can also provide you with most of the materials for free as a thank you."

"However, there are three more important materials that I don't have in stock at the moment, so you'll need to go there yourself."

"Or if you want to wait for a while, I can see if I can talk to other gods to see if they have any goods."

Since it was about his own holy clothes, Eros restrained himself a bit.

"What materials are missing? Where can I find them? Is there any way?"

The words are concise and to the point, and it can be seen that Eros really likes his holy cloth.

Don't tell him to use other materials as substitutes; he must use the best materials for the holy garment!

Hephaestus counted the missing materials on his fingers and told Eros.

"The three missing materials are Olihagang, Silver Star Sand, and Gammanion."

　Don’t be fooled by pua, and don’t easily believe the words of scumbag men and women.
