Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 203 Eros, I hate that you are like a piece of wood!

In the valley of Hera's Eye, due to the death of the giant Argos, no one dared to approach for a while.

The priests in the temple dedicated to Hera blocked the news immediately, but they still couldn't stop some rumors from spreading.

The story of Io's imprisonment and the killing of Argus by Hermes had begun to spread.

To this end, the priests burned incense and prayed day and night, praying for Hera's response.

After praying all day and all night, what happened here finally reached Hera's ears.

I just came back from the city of Jiyuan, where I had a fierce fight with Eurynomo and finally cleared my name.

But just as he walked out of the gate of the Abyss City, he received a series of life-threatening calls from the priests.

Only then did she realize that one of her mobile wards had been pinched off.

She immediately rushed to Argolis and saw that the body and head were separated and the head was placed on the cliff.

"Did that Hermes guy do it?"

Hera took one look at Argos' head and then looked away.

It took her a moment to remember what she had done here.

There was no trace of the little cow in the valley, and it seemed that it had been rescued.

"Zeus, huh."

With a cold snort, Hera pinched her eyebrows.

Why do I feel so busy day by day? Is it an illusion?

"You didn't think you could escape so easily? You even killed my family members."

Hera walked slowly towards Argos' head. The giant's eyes were still closed, as if he was still asleep.

"I've rested enough. It's almost time to wake up."

Under her divine power, Argos's head suddenly opened its eyes, and its lifeless eyes looked at its master.

Then, it slowly opened its mouth, and a gadfly the size of a palm crawled out from the giant's mouth.

When it just crawled out, it looked like an adult insect that had just emerged. Then it grew rapidly, stretched out its wings, and made a buzzing sound as it flew.

Its pitch-black compound eyes, sharp mouthparts, and a body size several times larger than that of ordinary insects make it look both terrifying and disgusting.

And this was just the beginning. Soon countless gadflies flew out of Argos' mouth.

Its entire head and body were constantly decomposing, transforming into gadflies flying all over the sky, like a black whirlwind.

"Since Hermes has cracked the all-seeing giant, let her try to deal with this flying disaster insect."

Hera looked at the creation she had made casually, and a hint of coldness appeared on her pretty face under the veil.

"Go ahead. You should know the smell of that creature. Go catch up with her, suck her blood, and keep biting her. She will never have peace."

Zeus wanted to rescue the girl he liked, but Hera would never let him do so.

She wanted to use these gadflies to bite Io beyond recognition and see if Zeus would still care about Io.

After completing this task, Hera left and prepared to return to Mount Olympus.

Next, she had to look around to see where Eros had wandered to, and she had no time to pay attention to trivial matters like Io.

At this moment, Io, in the distance, suddenly woke up from her sleep.

An ominous premonition weighed on her heart. She dreamed of darkness like a tide rushing towards her. This was definitely not an ordinary nightmare.

As she grew older, she already had a certain degree of predictive ability, and this dream was a warning to her.

There was some danger chasing her, and she didn't know whether it was arranged by Zeus or Hera. After waking up from her dream, Io sat down next to the fire. The still burning fire might provide her with some warmth and security.

The wood burned slowly in the flames, and the fire that was no longer burning dispelled the cold and loneliness of the night.

Io recalled the dream she had just had. The overwhelming darkness was like a tide.

But it didn't seem to be pure darkness, but some kind of creatures gathered together, which made her shudder.

Maybe she should run away. Away from Eros, to a place farther away from Eros, to a place where danger could not find her.

After fiddling with the fire to make it burn a little more vigorously, Io fell into deep thought.

Was she going to cause Eros more trouble?
Although he still had some grudges against Eros in his heart, he still followed him shamelessly.

She took advantage of Eros's intention to train her, but at the same time she was filled with a faint hostility towards Eros.

With such behavior, Io herself didn't know what she was thinking.

But Eros cooperated with Zeus to put her in her current situation, and this matter cannot be denied or erased.

She even hoped that Eros could be a little colder and more ruthless, and a little more harsh on her.

In this way, Io could naturally convince herself to hate Eros and take revenge on Eros.

But Eros not only saved her again, but also taught her everything he knew and met all her requirements.

If Eros's tolerance was his compensation and guilt for her, Io might be able to accept and forgive him.

But in the end, this tolerance was only to cooperate with Zeus' plan.

This made Io feel extremely complicated and she had no idea how to face Eros.

Should she hate him? Or should she be grateful?

Eros' charm failed to resolve this contradiction and complexity, but made Io even more confused.

Her emotions were tangled together, and in Eros's presence, they only grew more vigorous and intense.

During this period of time, she has learned a lot from Eros.

After all, Eros didn't have much to teach her, so Io just read out the magical knowledge verbatim, and soon Io memorized it all.

Finally, Eros had no choice but to give her actual combat drills in the name of training.

Therefore, if she ran away now for the sake of self-interest, it would not matter. She had already reached the limit of what she could get from Eros.

When unknown danger comes, Eros may not protect himself.

But do you really want to leave?
Looking at the flickering fire, Io hesitated.

Following Eros, she saw many things she had never seen before.

Even though she hadn't reached Arcadia yet, she was already so far away from her hometown.

How about waiting a little longer? After reaching Arcadia and completing this journey, I can leave by myself?

But if she didn't leave, Io didn't know whether the danger she brought would also affect Eros.
After all, she knew that Eros, like herself, was also avoiding the Queen Hera.

The extremely complex considerations and emotions made Io ponder for a long time, and she didn't even notice that the fire was almost extinguished.

"It would be very cold at night if the fire went out."

Eros' voice sounded, stirring the fire and speaking lightly.

"If you want to leave, don't be so sneaky. I won't stop you."
