It's like a joke that Hera is Zeus' seventh and last wife. Zeus did give Hera honors that were incomparable to his previous wives and promised that they would never divorce.
But this life of not getting divorced but having a bunch of illegitimate children with lovers...
However, Hera had no way to stop Zeus, because this was Zeus' way to avoid the curse of fate. As long as he kept having children, he would not be overthrown by his youngest son.
Uranus was overthrown by his youngest son Chloros, Chloros was overthrown by his youngest son Zeus, and if Zeus had a youngest son, he would also be overthrown by this youngest son.
This is fate.
Athena left the temple, and Hera stroked her chest and said to herself: "Sullen, will you be the one destined to be..."
"The Age of Gods is almost over..."
-
Athena walked in the city-state of Athens, and she was delighted to see that under her guidance, Athens had gradually become the richest and most prosperous city in Greece.
In the Age of Gods, gods were born with desires due to the faith of mankind. Gods possess wisdom and vision far beyond that of humans. Therefore, gods love humans and are willing to guide humans in the right direction.
This is the responsibility of God. The God believed in by people must also love mankind.
Among these gods, Athena is undoubtedly the most responsible one. Under Athena's careful care, the city-state of Athens gradually became the leader of all Greek city-states.
Only the Spartan city-state, which believed in Artemis and Apollo, could compare with Athens.
Every god has his or her own preferences, and Athena is one of those gods who likes to cultivate, no matter whether it is a hero or the forces under her command. Even for gods, these small objects she cultivates can be destroyed by a breath, but Athena still enjoys it.
Although Athena had touched a sore spot by Hera, she did not bear it and also poked Hera's lung. Although her mood was not good, it was not too bad either.
Athena never suffers!
If you have a grudge, take revenge on the spot!
At this time, Athena was thinking about how to guide Surren to a grand adventure.
Suerlun doesn't like the risk of burning, killing and looting other people's homes, but it's not that she doesn't have other adventure plans. She is the goddess of wisdom Athena, the guide of heroes. How can the person favored by her not become a great hero?
When Athena was thinking about how to customize an adventure trip that suits Surlen's preferences, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Pallas Athena, I need your help with something."
The handsome bard looked at the lively girl in front of him and asked politely, "With your wisdom, you will surely be able to help me."
"The King of the Silver Bow, Phoebus Apollo."
Athena also responded politely. Artemis and Apollo, brother and sister, usually do not have a strong presence in Mount Olympus, but they have a power that cannot be ignored, which is far beyond the reach of their younger brothers such as Ares and Hephaestus.
Although Apollo took the initiative to come to her and ask for her help, Athena still didn't say too much: "Please tell me what you are worried about, and I may be able to help you."
"Well, I recently discovered that my sister Artemis has fallen in love with a man."
Apollo had no intention of hiding anything for his good sister. He said bluntly, "Perhaps you have noticed something, Athena."
"..." Athena did not show any surprise, but said calmly: "You mean the forest outside Athens that was blocked by the goddess of hunting and prohibited any human or god from entering?"
"Because of Artemis's usual image, the gods thought that this willful goddess was just being petty again."
Athena smiled and said, "However, as the main god of Athens, it is not too much for me to understand the truth of the matter, right?"
Athena distanced herself from the matter right away, acting like a slippery old fox, highlighting her tactfulness in not offending anyone.
After hearing these smooth-talking words, Apollo had nothing to say, not to mention that he was here to beg for help. Even if he was not, he would have nothing to say.
"I am not here to question you, goddess of wisdom Athena." Apollo smiled bitterly and said, "I want you to think of a way to keep Artemis away from the man named 'Sullen'."
"Artemis is bound by an oath and must not lose her virginity."
"That's easy... What? Surren?"
Athena originally wanted to just casually say that she could just kill it and turn it into a monster, that's just the basic stuff of the Greek gods.
I was wondering when Apollo became such an indecisive and good-natured person. Based on his style, Artemis's lover should have ascended to heaven and turned into a constellation by now.
But when I heard Suerlun's name, I immediately understood.
It turned out to be him...
Yes, it should be him. Only a pure and beautiful person like Surren, a kind, brave and beautiful boy, can move Artemis and make Apollo unable to bear to take action.
Apollo continued, "So, I think if Suren is allowed to marry a wife, Artemis might give up."
Athena narrowed her amber eyes and said suddenly, "This is easy to handle. Leave it to me."
"Then I'm relieved!" Apollo showed a relieved expression: "If you are willing to lend a hand, Apollo will be grateful."
Athena's wisdom is well-known in Greece, and it is not limited to her wisdom in scientific inventions and creations, but also in various conspiracies and social conventions.
People in the Age of Gods don't know what emotional intelligence and IQ are. They classify them all as "wisdom."
There is little that Athena cannot accomplish when she wants to, because this is the embodiment of wisdom.
She always finds a way to achieve what she wants.
Athena smiled politely in return. Apollo disappeared tactfully. Athena narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking about. Only a soft sigh could be heard...
"Artemis, you are so generous..."

Chapter 107 The First Step to Becoming a Mortal
"I always feel like someone is teasing me from behind?"
For some reason, Suren felt a chill on the back of his neck. He couldn't help but tighten his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the temple of Hestia.
Compared with the temples of Athena and Hera, the temple of Hestia appears much simpler. Although it still reveals the nobility and elegance of the gods, its scale is completely incomparable to the main gods and queens of Athens.
But I'm afraid Hestia doesn't care, right?
This goddess had the same privileges as Zeus, and was a great god worshipped by all the city-states in Greece.
Hestia is the patron saint of sacred fire, food and family. Before Prometheus stole fire, the sacred fire belonged to the gods. After Prometheus stole fire for mankind, Zeus gave the jurisdiction of human fireworks to Hestia.
Fire is the most important cornerstone of human civilization. Humanity’s growth and evolution are all dependent on fire.
And the holy fire is not Hestia's most important duty. Hestia's most important duty is "food".
Controlling fire and food in the world is the basis of Hestia's power. This divine power also makes humans dare not not worship Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.
Being able to hold such a powerful priesthood, one can imagine Hestia's own ability. She just doesn't like to fight for it.
Surren recalled the relevant information about Hestia in his mind: "The last time Hestia participated in the council of the twelve gods of Olympus was hundreds of years ago. This goddess has not appeared in front of the gods for a long time."
"And Zeus is also sure that Hestia is fine, and the sacred fire of Olympus is growing stronger day by day, but she really doesn't like socializing."
"Hestia is even considering giving up her seat as the main god, but she hasn't found a suitable candidate for the time being. Once another qualified son of Zeus becomes a god, Hestia will retire."
Even for gods with little desire for power, the seats of the Twelve Main Gods are very valuable, which represents the number of believers, and the number of believers represents their own divine power. Although gods do not care about power, they care about their own priesthood and authority.
Suer Lun finally came to the conclusion: "This is a goddess who likes to stay at home and has a little social anxiety..."
"Let's give it a try. I wonder if swearing in front of Hestia will bring the goddess' blessing?"
In front of the holy fire and the statue of Hestia, Suren swore sincerely, "Goddess Hestia, I, Suren, swear that I will love and be loyal to my family and be a good man who cares for my family."
"..."
Then, of course, nothing happened.
Without the priests and Hestia's blessing, nothing changes.
Suerlun was a little disappointed. He scratched his head and said, "Could it be that Hestia didn't hear it?"
It stands to reason that people shouldn't be too greedy. Suren now has the blessing of Artemis, the blessing of Athena, and the attention of Hera, so he shouldn't ask too much for the blessing of Hestia.
But Suerlun always felt unsafe, and it was like shooting rabbits while sniping. He had sworn to be loyal to his marriage, which meant he had to be loyal to his family...
Isn't it a bit of a loss to swear an oath but get no benefit?
In short, under all kinds of subtle emotions, Suren subconsciously wanted Hestia's blessing very much.
There is a subtle feeling of collecting the entire illustrated book. Without Hestia's blessing, Suren would feel very uncomfortable.
The achievement is not yet achieved, just this last bit...
But in this situation, Hestia was obviously not there. Even when they were in the temple just now, Juno and Pallas did not like his move to look for Hestia...
It seems that these two priestesses knew about this. Hestia has indeed been missing for a long time.
Just when Suerlun was thinking about whether to go find Pallas and ask the confident blonde girl if she knew anything, a somewhat unnatural and soft voice sounded in his ears: "That, that..."
"Were you just swearing to be loyal to your family forever?"
Suerlun looked around. There was no one here. Who was talking?
No, it's Hestia herself!
Suerlun widened his eyes. When he went to look for the two goddesses just now, it was the priests who came forward, but this time it was the goddess herself.
Suerlun came back to his senses and said quickly: "It's me. I, Suerlun, am willing to swear to you that I will always be loyal to my family."
"Oh, what a beautiful and lovely child..."
After saying this, Hestia fell into silence for a long time. It seemed that she had been in a state of confusion. Hestia's voice sounded again with some uncertainty: "Um, Suerlun, are you still there?"
"…I am here, Goddess Hestia."
Suerlun thought to himself that this goddess’ personality was a little too soft. It sounded like she was easy to bully.
No, this is the eldest sister of all gods, the head of goddesses, and she has repeatedly rejected the courtship of male gods. She should be a very strong goddess...
"Well, according to the regulations..."
Hestia asked hesitantly, "Sullen, you swore to me that you would be loyal to your family. As the patron saint of your family, I am very satisfied. So, what do you want?"
Ah this...
What do I really want?
Surlun fell into deep thought. What on earth did he want that made him come to seek the blessing of the goddesses?
Is it a sense of security?
No, although Suerlun was no match for the gods, he was very confident that in the realm of heroes below the gods, almost no one could pose a threat to his life.
And the gods will not take action against him. Even if he does not have the blessing of the goddesses, Suerlun has such confidence.
Is it happiness and relief?
No, no, no, the happiness he wanted could be found everywhere in this rich Age of the Gods Greece, and the salvation he had in mind had already been achieved in this Age of the Gods.
still is……
A like-minded partner?
Suerlun didn't know that up to now, it seemed that there was really nothing he wanted.
After a moment of silence, Suerlun sighed and said, "I don't know... Hestia, maybe I shouldn't come to you today. After all, I am so confused."
"...Sullun." Hestia said with a smile: "What you are thinking about is not important at all, why don't you eat first!"
A sumptuous meal appeared in front of Suerlun, and then a petite and beautiful girl between a girl and a loli appeared. She had black hair tied in two ponytails and golden eyes, which showed her identity everywhere.
gods.
The only one who could appear here was the main deity of the temple, the goddess of sacred fire and hearth, Hestia.
Hestia's golden eyes flashed with a hint of favor. No one could help but marvel at Suerlun's beauty. She said nervously, "Suerlun, I'll treat you to a meal. There is no trouble or confusion that can't be solved by a sumptuous meal."
"Thank you for your enlightenment, lovely goddess."
Surren's face showed a look of relaxation and joy. He looked at Hestia and invited her, "Goddess Hestia, why don't we have lunch together?"
“Ah… um… okay, okay!”
The goddess, who was a little uncomfortable seeing people for the first time in a long time, was about to sneak away while Suerlun was eating, but was stopped by him, and her whole body froze.
Although she looks socially anxious and soft, Hestia is also a goddess with her own opinions and is not the type to please others. If she wants to refuse, not even Zeus can force her.
But looking at Suerlun's slightly expectant eyes, his handsome face, his soul that was even more beautiful than his appearance, and the oath he had just made...
After thinking about all this, Hestia pursed her lips, and although she was a little stiff, she still nodded and agreed.
The socially anxious goddess hasn't been with other people for who knows how many years. She doesn't even have the maids that are standard for gods, or the nymphs that serve gods. She just stays at home every day...
Now, for the first time in history, he agreed to have lunch with a mortal. It has to be said that this is a huge wonder.
