Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 14 I am not alone
Compared to Apollo, who has become one of the twelve gods of Olympus in later generations.

Apollo is still a little immature now, and has not yet reached his peak in terms of experience or power.

Apollo once shot and killed Python, the offspring of Gaia, symbolizing that light tore through the darkness and shadow brought by the earth.

Now, the situation seems to be reversed.

The serpent lurks beneath the surface of the sea, waiting for a better opportunity, then it will leap out of the water and swallow the light.

Despite this dire situation, Apollo did not feel hopeless.

Gods cannot die. No matter how badly they are beaten, the only result is that they will fall into the underworld, the endless abyss called Tartarus.

All the defeated Titans, including Kronos, were imprisoned in this endless abyss.

That is the bottom of the world, the eternal prison, and the destination of everything.

It is basically impossible to rely on one's own strength to fight back from this endless abyss.

However, the great gods or gods from the outside world can bring these gods back, which is the so-called "releasing prisoners."

It was by virtue of her status as the Queen of Heaven who shared the authority of the gods that Hera rescued Python, who had been shot dead by Apollo.

Even if Apollo was really swallowed by Python here, she didn't need to worry, because Zeus would soon pull her back.

Besides, she really wasn't helpless.

Apollo stared at the water vigilantly, and spoke to Eros before Python launched an attack.

"It's no problem for me to leave alone now, but if I want to take you away, there's only one way."

This method was what she proposed at the beginning - going to the underworld.

Going to the underworld does not require a long journey or complicated secret methods, all you need to do is die.

Of course, the disadvantage of this is that you have to play a resurrection match.

But if Eros was swallowed by Pythagoras, he would most likely be trapped in its stomach, and he wouldn't even have a chance to fight in the resurrection match.

In today's situation, it seems that this is the only choice.

Apollo, who was tricked, obviously could not solve the problem of Python and could only barely protect himself.

No matter what, the other party is also a monster bred by Gaia, not some fake import that is common on the street.

Apollo held the sword in one hand and held up the barrier of light with the other, waiting for Eros's reply.

Eros didn't say anything, but just looked at the boat that had disintegrated.

Even if we defeat Piton, it seems that we can't move forward.

"Forget it. Things haven't gotten to the point where we have to run away."

Eros suddenly said, extending his hand towards Apollo.

"Lend me your bow. Just because you can't handle it alone doesn't mean we can't do it together."

Apollo's face flashed with surprise, as if he had heard something extremely absurd.

"Don't talk nonsense. This guy is the offspring of Mother Goddess Gaia, and you are just a human being."

"If you're just after the goddess, there are many beautiful goddesses in the underworld. You don't have to stick to the ones on the sea."

Apollo's first reaction was to refuse. Humans fighting against gods? What kind of nonsense is this?
"Hey, hey, stop talking nonsense. This has nothing to do with goddesses or anything like that."

Eros said unhappily.

"It's just that the enemy is right in front of us, and we are not in a desperate situation. There is no point in running away."

Hera was watching him, must be watching him even now.

Eros could escape the giant snake by committing suicide and going to the underworld.

But what about in Hades?
If Hera could arrange for the giant snake to appear, she could also arrange for another monster to attack her in Hades. There was no point in running away, and the only option was to face the challenge head on.

In Hera's legend, she would not take action herself in most cases, but would arrange monsters and curses to deal with her love rivals.

Just like the trials faced in heroic stories, hardships that can be defeated head-on are not scary, but conspiracies and tricks will kill them.

"Besides, I'm actually pretty good at archery. All you have to do is let me break through its defense."

Seeing that Eros had no intention of backing down, Apollo was slightly stunned, and finally chose to compromise.

She handed the longbow made of light to Eros, but the shadow on her face became thicker.

"This bow has half of my light power. If you can control it, you will definitely be able to cause damage to Pi Tong."

"Leave it to me to lure it into attacking."

Apollo felt a little nervous, as controlling these powers and artifacts was not an easy task.

Phaethon, the son of the sun god Helios, although a child of god, could not control the sun chariot.

But Eros grasped the bow easily and pulled the bowstring in his hand without any discomfort.

"It's a little strenuous, but no problem."

Eros needed to use all his strength to push the electric current to fully draw the bow.

The thunder of the power of the sky and the power of light on the bow merged together, causing bursts of dazzling lightning.

"Okay then, I'll start."

The giant snake under the water couldn't help but beat the waves. The roaring dark clouds mixed with the waves kept beating against them.

Although he didn't know why he had the sudden impulse to agree to Eros, but since he had made the decision, Apollo no longer hesitated.

She began to use the remaining power to expel the fragments of dark power in her body.

And Pi Tong, who noticed her movements, also moved underwater.

It did not rashly surface to attack Apollo, but instead used its tail to slap Apollo from underwater.

Apollo held the golden sword whose light was somewhat dim, and continued the treatment while resisting Python's interference.

Eros, on the other hand, drew his bow to its full length, stared at the water, and kept thinking about his goal in his mind.

Shoot it in the eyes? That would just drive it crazy.

Shoot the head? But snakes seem to be creatures that have nerve remnants and can move even without a head.

As expected, it is more appropriate to shoot at the heart.

But Eros couldn't really tell where the heart of such a big snake was.

His archery skills were indeed not bad. He occasionally needed to hunt on the island, and he also practiced when he was bored.

But this is the first time to have such a big goal.

Eros suppressed his accelerated heartbeat, drew the bow to the full moon, and poured all his sky power into it.

Next, it all depends on who can’t hold it anymore and bet on whether he shoots accurately.

After repeatedly interfering with Apollo without success, Python could no longer continue to wait peacefully.

If it waits any longer, and Apollo really recovers, it will have no chance.

But it's definitely not a stupid beast.
