Chapter 99: Caught by Zeus

The trees were dying, the flowers were dying, and the grass was turning yellow, curling up into a dead mass of weeds.

Even the clear spring water began to become turbid and filled with a strange smell.

When Eros projected his thoughts onto Io through the small cosmic seed he left behind, this desolate scene was what he saw when he opened his eyes.

Eros was stunned for a moment, then he understood the situation.

This is the original process according to the legend, because Demeter lost her daughter, the earth began to lose its vitality.

Yes, in the previous events, Eros had basically no influence on anything.

At most, we added Hypnos and Styx, but it is still not enough in front of Hades.

It is estimated that Zeus would have to mediate in the end, and then it was agreed that Persephone would spend four months every year in the underworld.

But before Eros could think about it carefully, Io had already discovered his arrival.

"is it you?"

With the microcosm seeds lit up for her by Eros, and a certain amount of microcosm cultivation experience.

Io could also sense that there was another consciousness in the small universe inside her body.

But she subconsciously didn't know how to address Eros. After all, Eros only said one sentence to her and didn't even leave his name.

"Well, it's me."

Eros' attitude seemed a little cold. After all, he could neither see nor eat it.

Now Io is still in the state of being turned into a heifer, so his interest and attitude are naturally not very high.

Mainly because there was nothing to do in the underworld, so I just went to sleep and at the same time came to see the situation on earth.

Eros used Io's eyes to look at the somewhat desolate scene before him.

I don’t know if this can be considered a slap in Hera’s face. After all, she said at the time that she would feed Io the best grass and the sweetest spring water.

The earth is now barren. It's okay for a short time, but if it lasts too long, the earth will really turn into a dead zone.

"Um. Are you here to save me?"

As if she had noticed that Eros' attitude was not enthusiastic, Io asked cautiously.

In the corner of Io's sight, Eros saw the figure of a giant sitting on the top of the mountain.

That is the all-seeing giant Argos, who is also the source of the name of the extremely famous Argo in Greek mythology.

It was sent by Hera to guard Io, but it was far from being a terrifying giant.

In fact, it is more often seen as a hero, having slain the monstrous bull that ravaged Arcadia.

The most famous, but often overlooked, legend is that it also killed Typhon's wife, the terrifying and beautiful Echidna.

Even Hermes did not dare to confront it head-on, and could only cut off its head while it was asleep.

Eros felt that he was not yet able to match him, not to mention that he was in the underworld and could not come here at all.

So he could only respond vaguely.

"Don't worry, it's not time yet."

"Have you practiced diligently the little universe I taught you?"

Hearing Eros' words, Io quickly replied.

"Well, I dare not forget it every moment."

In fact, she is much more hardworking than she says.

After being transformed into a cow, with her remaining freedom, the only thing she could do was to continue to cultivate her microcosm.

This is also the only hope she retains in despair. She hopes that one day she will be able to escape with the power of the microcosm and turn back into human form.

To this end, she could be said to have been practicing her microcosm day and night without sleep according to the experience left by Eros.

Of course Eros knew whether she tried hard or not. He just continued to give Io some hope and painted a pie in the sky by the way.

"Well, that's good. No matter how much time has passed, there is no need to despair."

"Just like watching a shooting star in the night sky, wait and hope."

This chicken soup and empty promises are undoubtedly very practical for Io.

Even if she fell into this situation, she still had a direction to work towards, and there were people supporting and helping her.

This undoubtedly supports her heart and perseverance.

"Well! I see!"

Eros finally breathed a sigh of relief after comforting Io.

Alas, Zeus caused the trouble, but I am here to clean up the mess for him. What does this mean?
After observing around and finding that there was nothing else going on on Io's side, Eros prepared to leave.

As soon as he withdrew his consciousness from Io's microcosm, another microcosmic consciousness suddenly pressed towards him.

And the scale of this microcosm. What the hell is this?!

Eros compared them and found that the scale of his own microcosm was completely incomparable to the other party's.

Where can I find this warrior? !

Before he had time to think carefully, Eros' consciousness was swept away by the other party.

And Io felt a little lost when she felt that another consciousness in her own small universe had left.

But the next moment, she cheered herself up again, constantly running the small universe in her body, striving to break through the current difficulties as soon as possible.

Eros, who was caught up in the nameless microcosm, opened his eyes in the infinite microcosm contained within.

But at this moment, he was still very confused.

As the source of the power of the small universe, what kind of fierce person could be more outrageous than him and push the small universe to such a huge scale? His question was soon answered. In the Milky Way galaxy in front of him, a figure that was as bright as flames and more dazzling than the stars appeared.

Her figure was the most perfect and beautiful among the many goddesses Eros had ever seen.

And her name is
"DIONE?!"

Hearing the name, Zeus opened his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was in a better mood.

"Eros, why do you call me by this name this time?"

Eros looked up with some embarrassment.

Last time, he was still on guard against Zeus and didn't want to be burned to pieces.

But since he knew the truth of the matter, he understood why Zeus mentioned the name at that time.

As Zeus, she is the great Father God, Zeus, the king of the gods.

But as Dione, she was just that ordinary goddess with whom she had a brief romance.

So this time, the first thing Eros said was what Zeus liked to hear.

Her golden hair was this brilliant, burning galaxy, with countless gorgeous planets dotted on it like hair accessories.

Whether it is the perfect face or the slender and well-proportioned figure that is impeccable.

Zeus is the one that best fits Eros' aesthetic, but I don't know what the goddess of beauty Aphrodite will look like.

But Eros estimated that he would not be better looking than Zeus.

After all, Zeus is the almighty god, and his beauty is the beauty of all things in the world. Aphrodite should not be better than him.

Well, only Eros himself can compare, on another track.

"It's just a pity that this time I'm coming to you as Zeus."

The originally brightly burning Milky Way and all the burning planets suddenly became cold and silent.

Zeus's golden hair turned into long silver hair as dazzling as the Milky Way, and his temperament also changed accordingly.

Eros was not at all surprised that Zeus was able to simulate a microcosm of this scale.

She observed herself for so long, and she spread the power of the microcosm.

With her talent, it is not difficult to learn and simulate the power of this microcosm.

He was just a little bit envious, just a little bit.

Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore.

Eros was very envious, extremely envious.

If it weren't for the face he had maintained in front of Zeus, he would have wanted to hug Zeus' thigh and shout, "Rich woman, hungry, food, food!"

By then, if Zeus finds a good priesthood for him, he will be able to soar into the sky.

Cheating is not as good as these gods who directly use the world's authority to play with the modifier, right?
Amphitrite went from being a vase goddess to a powerful god, and now she is just a goddess of the sea queen.

Eros really wants Nyx or Zeus to give him a good priesthood.

Zeus slowly walked in front of Eros with a light smile on his face.

"What are you thinking about? I have something serious to tell you."

Eros came back to his senses, looked at Zeus in front of him, and laughed.

"Tell me, what is the value of this innocent girl that makes you care so much about her?"

As soon as he came out of Io's body, he was caught by Zeus on the spot. Eros wouldn't believe that he was not being followed.

And as for Io, Zeus almost told Eros openly that she had other plans.

"I can only tell you this, please don't tell anyone else."

Zeus is worthy of being Zeus. The subtext of this sentence is "You are the only one I trust the most" - "You are special to me."

Although I don't know if she is just fooling me, I still feel that way sincerely.

But Eros still felt very comfortable after hearing this. Who doesn't like to be valued by others?
And even Hera was kept in the dark, which made Eros even more excited.

No, why do I feel like a mistress?

"Ahem, tell me, what exactly do you want to do? You still need my help."

"I knew you would help me."

Zeus, with a delighted smile on his face, took Eros' hand.

"Io's story is very important to me. She is the daughter of the river god Inachus. Although she is a human, her name also hides a divinity."

"This divinity has no meaning in Olympus, but for another land, it has a very important position."

Zeus revealed her plan to Eros without reservation.

Even Eros was a little surprised by this trust.

"From Mount Olympus, head southwest of the Endless Oceanus Sea, after crossing the non-existent barrier."

“You will arrive at a river that runs through the golden land. That is the land of the sun, a place that belongs to another civilization and mythology.”

"The name of that land is Esseniro, and it is a world destined to be conquered by us."

Eros was shocked, but before he could say anything, Zeus had already expressed his thoughts.

"And Io, in that land, her name will be Isis."

"She is the seesaw that opens the door to that world for me."

 Greece itself has Egypt, and the closer ones like Rome and Europe seem to be unavoidable links.
