Ares, God of War

"Hey, that's not the question." Ares' words surprised Zeus, he coughed, and then asked Athena in a low voice, "Won't your spell hurt his brain?"

"Absolutely not." Athena quickly shook her head and denied, "My spell is not aimed at the spiritual aspect at all."

"What do you mean? Do you all think that I, Ares, can't learn magic, right?" Ares maintained his character design very professionally. He stood in the palace of the king of gods with his mouth wide open. Spray Sifang: "Let me tell you, Athena was able to win against me because of her extra magic, and my magic resistance is low. If I learn magic, I will still be like this bird?"

When he said these words, although everyone felt that there was something wrong, they sounded quite reasonable.

"Ares." Zeus thought for a while, and waved to Ares: "Well, there is nothing to learn about magic. I think it is a waste to learn it with your force. Come on, I Ask your brother to give you a few more magic tools, what do you want? A new chariot, don’t you want to roar?”

"Not good!" Ares waved his hand and said angrily, "Zeus, I'm also the son of Hera and you, the son of Zeus who is the most upstanding son in this palace of gods and kings. Why are you so partial to Athena? It’s fine to divide her priesthood and give it to her, don’t you even give us a chance to win it back? You’re too partial!”

"That's it!" Ares' words immediately aroused the agreement of Hera, who was the most aggrieved about the matter. She looked at her husband and said, "Zeus, how can you be so partial to our son? Let me tell you , if he learns magic, he will definitely be stronger than Athena, and more like a god of war! You don't even give him this opportunity?"

Aren't I afraid that he won't be able to learn, and then he will be incapable and furious and cause me trouble?

Zeus listened helplessly to his wife's reprimand, thinking about how to deal with her.

But at this moment, the mother of Apollo and Artemis, the goddess Leto, who was officially married by Zeus, stood up. She looked at Zeus and said softly:

"Zeus, just give Ares a chance. He helped us mother and son, and he is kind to us. It happens that Hecate, the daughter of my sister Asteria, is the most powerful magician in the world. I will help you. Go and explain to Hecate, let Ares go to her to try."

Hecate...

Hearing this name, Zeus showed hesitation. This is the god that he fears the most besides Athena in today's world. However, when he saw his son who was like a red-haired gorilla, he couldn't help it. He let go of his vigilance again.

[Judging from the previous duel with Athena, Ares's potential and strength are just that. 】

He thought disdainfully in his heart:

【Even if he is allowed to learn, the God of War doesn't have the patience and perseverance, so let's devote himself to such a boring magic way. Just in time, let him add trouble to Hecate, lest this woman conduct some terrible experiments all day long. 】

Thinking of this, Zeuston felt relieved. He nodded to Goddess Leto, and then said:

"Well, Ares, I'll give you a chance."

He looked at Ares and reminded:

"But what I want to say is that if you want to challenge Athena and win back your priesthood, you can only have one more chance. If you lose, just accept your failure honestly and don't keep doing it. Some nasty things that interfere with the normal work of the gods."

"Yes, I know!" Hearing what Zeus said, Ares was overjoyed, with a triumphant smile on his face, which looked despicable and ridiculous in the eyes of the gods.

After getting his wish, he came to the beautiful goddess with bright eyes, then leaned his head, looked at her triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Wait, Athena! When I leave the customs, your end will come !Ha ha ha ha--"

After finishing speaking, he left the temple on his own, just like Ares in the myth, reckless and without etiquette at all.

Looking at the back of Ares, Poseidon sneered disdainfully, and he said to Zeus:

"Zeus, look at your son, he looks like a fool who hasn't evolved yet."

"My son is not yet your turn, Poseidon."

Zeus immediately responded bitterly to his brother when he heard the words:

"At least it's better than your sons who don't even look like humans!"

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two brothers at this moment has shown the gods that their relationship is inseparable. Seeing this, Hades as the eldest brother and Hestia as the eldest sister looked at each other helplessly and sighed at the same time .

Artemis, on the other hand, looked worriedly at his mother Leto following Ares out, and then asked his younger brother:

"Apollo, Hecate is a moody person, Ares won't make her unhappy?"

"Who knows, but I think they might get along pretty well." Apollo looked at Zeus and Poseidon, who were staring wide-eyed, and then at Athena, who was standing still and smiling. , and Hades and Hestia who shook their heads and sighed helplessly, then he said with a smile: "Mount Olympus is not a pure land either."

……

On the other side, under the guidance of the goddess Leto, Ares quickly left Mount Olympus and came to the earth.

There is no human activity on the land today, only all kinds of monsters born at the same time as the gods, and gods with strong tastes like Poseidon, and even weirder offspring produced after intercourse with monsters.

And Hecate, the Greek goddess of magic, also lives on such a land today.

She lives in seclusion on the shore of Okeanos in Yinghai, in a basin sealed off with a magic barrier. On the other side of this ocean is the underworld governed by Hades, the king of the underworld.

The goddess Leto obviously frequented this place frequently. After landing, she led Ares across the magic barrier here with ease, and then entered the territory of the goddess Hecate.

After crossing the barrier, this desolate basin showed its true appearance. The basin was like a fairyland. In various dense bushes, there lived many petite but beautiful goblins and elves. There were heavy knots on the branches. The fairy fruit, the air is filled with ether that is much richer than the outside world.

In terms of environment alone, this place is no worse than the garden of the gods on Mount Olympus, and in the depths of the dense forest is the palace of the goddess of magic, Hecate, made of magic and trees. The gatekeeper of Hell, the three-headed dog Cerberus, is actually the pet of Hecate, the goddess of the moon.

Sensing the arrival of the Goddess Leto and the God of War Ares, the vigilant hound straightened up its three heads and looked in their direction with hostility, but after seeing that it was Leto, it With a joyful expression again, he ran to Goddess Leto, licking his tongue and wagging his tail.

"Be good." Goddess Leto touched Cerberus's head tenderly, and then asked, "Is Hecate at home?"

The three-headed dog nodded, then barked twice in the direction of the palace, and then, a lazy voice suddenly sounded from the palace:

"Cerberus, is anyone here?"

As soon as the words fell, a petite figure slowly walked out of the palace.

Chapter 14. Hecate, Goddess of the Dark Moon

The goddess who came out of the tree house-like palace was a little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old.

She was wearing a purple dress of the same style as the goddesses of the Greek gods, with long purple hair that reached her ankles, and a pair of slippers on her feet. Her face was full of burnout, and her eyes looked dizzy , there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and even when she walked out of the palace, she scratched her hair and yawned.

After coming to the door, she glanced at Leto and Ares, and said, "Ah, it's Aunt Leto, um, is this person the son of Zeus?"

Her eyes stayed on Ares for a while, and then said: "Looking at your divine power and appearance, you should be the son of Zeus and Hera, the god of war Ares, right?"
