Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 164 Greek Parenting, This Is Not Scumbag

Oh no, Zeus is deliberately sending the nurse to the rescue.

After hearing what Eros said, Amalthea completely let down her guard.

She completely thought that Eros was the incarnation of Zeus, or some kind of being with the same mind and body.

If at first she still had some doubts about what Zeus said about attaching spirits to Eros and Europa.

But after Eros was possessed by Zeus just now, she no longer had any doubts.

To this, Eros only wanted to say.

Zeus, you have really made me suffer!

The tolerant and doting mother sheep began to guide Eros step by step with an irresistible strength.

Even though he clearly didn't understand much, he still suppressed his inner shyness and embarrassment and pretended to know a lot. It was really great!

At first, Europa refused, but after Amalthea smeared her whole body with the special ointment.

She couldn't speak anymore.

When the ointment was applied on the body, it felt cool at first, and then quickly began to feel hot.

It was as if the heat spread from her skin all the way to deep within her body, leaving Europa completely unable to say no.

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Amalthea, with a blushing face, helped Eros to right his position and then lay on his back.

Then he slowly used his own weight to press down on Eros, pushing Eros forward.

Who can stand this kind of thing? Who can stand this? Huh?!
Anyway, Eros couldn't stand it. This kind of gentle and caring guidance and support was something that Eros couldn't stand at all.

"It's over again? Well, it's still early, can we continue?"

Amalthea, who was taking good care of Eros, leaned over and blew softly.

Eros wanted to say that it was not necessary, but he swallowed his words the next moment.

"Are you lacking energy? Would you like to drink some goat milk to replenish it?"

After taking off the gauze skirt, which was soaked by sweat from the heat or something else, Eros' eyes were a little dull.

Can this be refused?
Absolutely not!

So Eros nodded decisively and tasted the goat's milk that fed Zeus.

And this goat milk did have magical effects, allowing Eros to quickly recover and regain his energy and spirit.

This goat milk is sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not smelly, and very delicious.

And drinking it has magical effects.

With it, Eros felt that he could fight for another three hundred rounds.

But Europa couldn't hold on any longer. She was just a mortal and didn't have the same endurance as the goddess.

Plus, it was his first time tasting it, so he couldn't bear it any longer.

"This"

Eros was not so angry as to ignore Europa's body, so he could only turn around and look at Amalthea.

Through Zeus's words and deeds, he also learned some ways to deal with Amalthea.

Revealing a somewhat pitiful and helpless expression, Amalthea was so stimulated that her maternal instinct surged and her rationality dropped to almost zero.

"Good boy, good boy, it's okay, don't worry."

He reached out and held Eros in his arms, wondering if it was Eros's illusion.

The horns on Amalthea's head became more and more twisted, and her pupils kept changing shape.

But who cares about such details! Go!

Zeus had gone so far for him, how could Eros waste her kindness?

We must show our filial piety to this gentle and lovely sheep mother!
This act of filial piety lasted for more than seven days and seven nights.

Europa tried to rejoin several times, but was always vulnerable and retreated early.

Moreover, Eros also noticed Zeus's gaze several times.

Because she always appears at strange times, pushing Eros intentionally or unintentionally.

Damn Zeus, do you like pushing so much?!

All in all, Eros, I give a big thumbs up to this trip to Crete.

The hometown of Zeus, what a great taste.

Of course, in the end, Eros did not forget the main business.

Use the power of reproduction to ensure that Europa is indeed pregnant.

But when doing something, Eros felt a little complicated.

After hanging out for so long, this was the first time he had done something like this.

Feeling the faint breath of life coming from Europa's belly, Eros also fell into deep thought during the Sage Time.

First of all, she had to have a child, otherwise Ananke would probably have to fight Eros to his death.

A sea queen who is not much of a legend has so many obstacles.

If Eros ran away with Europa, the Minoan civilization, an important component of Greece, would disappear directly.

It is easy to imagine how Ananke, the goddess of destiny, would target Eros.

So having a child is nothing, it's just that it's the first time for Eros to do this, so his mentality is a little complicated.

It was easy to create humans before. Athena just rubbed the mud and made humans.

But this time, it is truly a new life that is about to be born from Europa's belly.

"Are you thinking about the child?"

At some point, Amalthea, wearing a silk gauze dress, sat up and leaned on Eros' shoulder. "I guess so."

Eros said vaguely.

"I don't know how long it will take for him to be born."

If possible, Eros still wanted to wait for the birth of his first child on the island of Crete.

But there is a high probability that there is not that time.

"Well, I can't say for sure. Generally, it only takes a moment for a child of a god to be born, but it takes a long time for a human."

"And in your situation, I don't know how long it will take."

In addition to the faint breath of life, it also carries the divine breath of Zeus.

So this child will be born as a demigod, the son of Zeus.

The Greek definition of demigod does not simply mean the child of a god and a mortal.

It more often refers to a being that possesses certain divine powers and talents, but lacks immortal divinity.

For example, Cecrops was a natural demigod who was born in the earth without a father or a mother.

And Almathea, the child of Europa and Eros, the son of Zeus, could not say how long it would take.

Seeing that Eros seemed a little worried, Amalthea couldn't help but feel her maternal love overflowing and she hugged Eros.

She used her own heart to warm him, trying to heal him.

"Why do you have that expression? Aren't children something to be happy about?"

Why did Eros not seem so happy when he saw the newborn child?

"Well, I am a little happy, but I just can't help but worry."

When Eros thought of Europa giving birth to Minos, he couldn't help but think of Minos' queen Pasiphae.

Then I thought about how Pasiphae was cursed by Poseidon to fall in love with a cow and gave birth to the Minotaur, the Minotaur.

Should Eros take care of this kind of thing or not?
It's really worrying, things like children.

For a scumbag, nothing is more frightening than children.

Eros was able to hold on, entirely due to his strong mental qualities and charm.

"You worry too much~"

Amalthea pressed Eros' forehead lovingly and enlightened him.

"Children are bound to leave their parents sooner or later."

"Everyone has his or her own destiny and future, which is not something that parents can influence or control."

"You are one with Zeus, with eternal, infinite life."

"But your child won't. She will gradually run towards death."

"Whether or not you can defeat death is everyone's own destiny. It is not something you can influence."

"So as a parent, you just need to look at your child and wish him or her well, whether he or she is alive or dead."

"Even if it is entering the underworld, that is exactly where it will end up."

Unlike Eros's habitual sense of responsibility and humanistic thinking, this is Greece, the world of gods.

In the eyes of the gods, life and death are not the gaps that stand in their way; the land of bliss in the underworld will accept anyone who is qualified enough to enter.

Amalthea aimed to reassure Eros that he did not need to worry about the child.

It is enough to just watch and observe each other's life and feel happy for each other's achievements.

To put it in a positive way, this is an open-minded way of thinking, and there is no need to be sad even about the death of a child.

To put it bluntly, isn't this a complete scumbag?

Eros realized that he was too upright and responsible!
Think about it, in Greek mythology, how many biological parents would always take care of their children?
Zeus only cares about giving birth and not raising the children, although now it seems that he is mostly peeping in secret.

In Eros's opinion, this kind of free and easy, laissez-faire attitude is simply that of a scumbag.

But in the eyes of Greece, especially the gods, this was nothing.

Rather than prolonging their children's lives, they hope to see their children achieve great things.

In this way, even if one dies, there will be a paradise waiting for one's children.

On the other hand, no matter how hard one tries, no matter how many disasters one has to help one's children survive, a human or a demigod is still doomed to die.

It makes no difference whether you die early or late. If you die in obscurity without any outstanding deeds, you may not be able to enter the paradise.

Eros understood immediately.

What does this belong to? This belongs to taking good care of the following, so as to avoid taking a hundred years of detours!

Is it any use to live long? It is useless if you can't accomplish anything great.

If something great is achieved, they can rise to the sky and be given a constellation by Zeus. The most outstanding ones, like Hercules, can even be directly deified.

If it's not that big, there's also Elysium waiting for you, with endless mead and battles.

From this perspective, Zeus’s behavior of not raising these children is not that of a scumbag.

Trials and tribulations are all prepared, and when the time is right, Zeus will provide the equipment and opportunities to do something big.

A great Father God who is so loving and so deliberate in paving the way for His children, even at the cost of being misunderstood.

Eros understood everything, and he also wanted to imitate Zeus' style!

He really had nothing to worry about. Anyone who could become his Eros' child would definitely be able to accomplish great things.

The early hardships and trials are not a problem. I believe that after death, you will naturally understand Eros’s painstaking efforts.

This is not a scumbag who abandons his child, this is called a long-term vision.

　As for Minos, there are many reasons to consider. After all, he will go to the underworld to be a judge, which is too shameless.
