[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

Extra Story of Hephaestus---

"Because soon, I will find you."

When he saw Aphrodite disappearing in front of him, Hephaestus found that he was not as angry as he imagined, but instead, his heart was terribly calm.

Perhaps this is also because he had expected it in the first place.

Aphrodite does not belong to this world, or it should be said that the real Aphrodite in this world should not be the person who just disappeared from him without a trace.

This is what he knew long ago.

Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, is a variable.

During the 200 years that he was trapped in the river of flames, the Piri Flegoton, he was surrounded by the lamenting sighs and angry and unwilling moans of the undead.

He was wrapped in the vortex, unable to get out, and these undead and gods could not perceive his existence.Although the undead can't perceive him, their negative emotions will not be blocked by the vortex, and they invade his mind from every corner, allowing him to passively acquire all the memories of these undead.

In the beginning, he was very resistant to these emotions and memories that did not belong to him, but no matter how he struggled and resisted, it was useless.

A hundred years is enough to wear away his patience, and his initial resistance has slowly turned into a willing acceptance.

At least the memories of these undead are very different, which can be regarded as a way to pass away the loneliness.

So in the memory of these undead, he saw everything that happened before them, honor, disgrace and glory, remorse or unwillingness.

Before them, there were generals who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, composing songs with the light of life, and finally died for their favorite land.Some are ignorant youths who steal other people's wealth for a living all day long, and finally die under the owner's axe; The children fought over the family property and killed each other and died with resentment.

There are many more...

Hephaestus regarded these memories as a kind of entertainment, and passed them from his mind like watching a joke.

until one day.

He saw the memory of a youth.

Compared with the memories of other undead, this young man's memory is too special.

Especially after Hephaestus passively obtained the memory of the undead, a huge anger surged in his heart.

In the memory of this youth.

His world is but a book left by history.

In the book, there are Mount Olympus, Zeus, Hera, and many gods.

He saw his whole life, he was thrown off the cliff by Hera because of his ugliness, then adopted by the sea goddess Thetis and Euryrome, and returned to Olympus as an adult, although he was called The ugliest god, but because of his honesty, sincerity and tolerance, as well as his superb forging talent, he was loved by the gods on Mount Olympus.

I also saw him marrying Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess in the entire God Realm.

That's right, it's the goddess, not Aphrodite who is also male.But at that time, he was trapped in the vortex, unable to know anything about the outside world, and the memory of this undead was his initial knowledge of this world.

After that, he saw his wife Aphrodite hated his ugliness and despised his disability. He also saw Aphrodite having an affair with Ares. A golden net is drawn, and the two gods who are doing mediocre things are trapped in it, and the gods watch and laugh at it.

All of this is undoubtedly unfamiliar to Hephaestus. He is like a bystander, reading the memories related to him.

He watched it over and over again, and for a long time, he even had the illusion that everything he had experienced personally.

But he knew that was not the case.

He was trapped in this vortex, trapped in this river of flames, which already showed that the change had already occurred, and his life trajectory would no longer be the same as the memory of this undead.

He began to look forward to the days after going out, and began to slowly refine the powerful force that poured into his body, which did not belong to him, and his intuition told him that he would not be trapped forever in this path full of sorrow and grief. In the river of the dead.

As it turned out, his intuition was not wrong.

He broke through the shackles of the whirlpool and began the life of Hephaestus.

Everything that happened after that was like the memory of the undead. He was rescued by the sea goddess Thetis and Euryromo, and then brought up.

And in those days, he thought a lot about his life and the world.

When he learned that Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, was male with him, an unprecedented throbbing suddenly surged deep in his heart.

Aphrodite was not a beautiful woman as the undead remembered.

This is a variable.

Also because of this difference from what he remembered, he began to pay more and more attention to Aphrodite.

And the more you pay attention, the more you will be attracted, because of Aphrodite's completely different personality from the memory, and because of the constant teasing and seduction of the other party.

This Aphrodite is even more charming than the goddess in memory, and even more depraved and sinking.

not to mention,

The god of love and beauty is the best interpretation of beauty in this world.

And no matter who it is, they will not resist... the pursuit of beauty.

It was a matter of course that he would be attracted to Aphrodite.

Because of the appearance of Aphrodite, or because of the existence of this Aphrodite, he disrupted his original plan and willingly approached him with that dull and honest image.

In order to see more of Aphrodite, he put the part of his consciousness that possesses the power of Chaos on the white tiger, and stayed beside Aphrodite as Anasius.

Afterwards, the more I got along with Aphrodite, the sweeter I felt, the more uneasy I began to feel in my heart.

Aphrodite wantonly seduced other gods, but there was no emotion in the depths of his eyes, which was too abnormal, as if completing a task mechanically, which made Hephaestus A doubt arose.

Aphrodite, why does she exist?

However, no matter why it exists, what Hephaestus wanted was for Aphrodite's eyes to stay on him more.So no matter when he was Anasius, the white tiger, or Hephaestus, the ugliest god, he would always intentionally and inadvertently reveal the deviation in the character of the character he played, just like being an When he was Nasius, the possessiveness in his eyes was also like the occasional indifference when he was Hephaestus.

Because he knew that only in this way would Aphrodite pay more attention to him.

He originally thought that he could always accompany Aphrodite with the double identity of Anasius and Hephaestus.But he didn't expect the appearance of Eros to break his self-deception all the time.

When he broke through the illusion and saw Aphrodite falling to the ground covered in blood in order to save that human being, at that moment, the sinister side that had been suppressed deep in his heart finally broke out completely .

At that moment, he even had the urge to strangle Aphrodite to death.

But he did nothing after all.

He was reluctant.

Then when he took off the bracelet and cast it in the flames, he once again fused part of his consciousness into that small pill.

When Aphrodite asked him what power was hidden in the bracelet, he chose to avoid it.

After all, how could he possibly tell him?

Half of his consciousness is the same as that pill, which has been integrated into Aphrodite's soul. No matter where Aphrodite goes, he can find it.

wherever……

Perhaps it was because of this that his heart was so peaceful when he saw Aphrodite completely disappear from before him.

He will find Aphrodite.

The day he found Aphrodite was when his injuries fully recovered.

Hephaestus touched his chest, smiled slightly, and swam to the deepest point alone.

Extra Story of Eros---

When seeing Aphrodite jumping into the magma together with Hephaestus, Eros was about to explode.

He had been planning for so long, but he did not expect such a result in the end.

He just wanted the part of the power that Hephaestus had received from his father Chaos, nothing more.

This world is too boring. As one of the original five primitive gods, he was born with powerful divine power and extraordinary status.

He is the god of love and lust, the symbol of love.desire and passion.desire.

All the love in this world is born because of him.

Everyone who has seen his face, whether it is a human being or a god, will have a desire in their hearts.

He can seduce the most primitive desires of all people and gods.

At first, this feeling made him feel interesting, but as time passed, when everyone who saw him was like this, he gradually began to lose interest in all this, and began to feel disgusted, and even hated the ugly desire of these people .see.

So after that, he chose to seal his consciousness forever like Erebus and Nichols, and spend the long and boring time in deep sleep.

But before that, he separated a wisp of divine consciousness and fused it with the big brother who turned into the regional abyss——Tartaros.

Some things are just so wonderful. At that time, he didn't know why he left this ray of consciousness. It seemed that he was destined to choose this way.

He has always believed that even the gods are not omnipotent, and all kinds of emotions and sorrows will be born due to various unknown variables.

The wisp of consciousness he left behind served as the seal of Tartarus in the abyss.The underworld is a kingdom full of coldness and death, and the new king of the underworld is just like his big brother, with a cold heart and inhuman indifference.

Because the entrance of the abyss is the southernmost point of the river Piriflago, even though his consciousness is in the compass at the entrance, he can feel the changes in Piriflago and the river of flames, and he can see the Undead wandering in this river all day long and unable to escape.

When he felt the fluctuation of Chaos' divine power in Piri Flego Tonghe, he was shocked and unbelievable.His father, Chaos, has already fully integrated with this world, and his consciousness has become everything in this world.

And this sudden divine power?And why was it born?

With this question in mind, for the first time, he withdrew his consciousness from the abyss of Tartarus, and then went deep into the Piriforgoton River to find out why.

Then he saw a boy wrapped in a whirlpool. The boy closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing Chaos' divine power, but he didn't notice his arrival. However, the vortex that trapped the boy directly shook him away.

When he was about to approach again, the prisoners on the outermost edge of Tartarus in the abyss were faintly restless because of his departure, and they were trying to break through the seal together.

Abyss Tartarus has changed, which is not a good result.

So after a brief weighing, he chose to return to the abyss.

It's just that even though he returned to the seal, he was no longer as bored as before. He began to pay attention to the Piri Flegoton River, which he had never cared about before, and to the lonely man who wandered all day long in this river of flames. soul.

It was precisely because of this attention that he discovered an extremely interesting thing.

From the mouth of a pale young man, he heard a low voice almost obsessive. This undead has long been unconscious, but opened his lips, repeating a few words mechanically——

"I want to go back...to the...previous world..."

If it was other gods, maybe they would just laugh it off and not go into it.

However, Eros is different. The unwilling mourning of the undead will always be the most unforgettable memory in front of you.Back to the previous world, the previous... world?

This had to make Eros think more.

If this pale-faced undead young man was simply nostalgic for the time before him, he would not use the two grand words "world" to describe the place where he lived before him, and he would not use the word "before" to represent the past. .

previous world...

Explain that the young man who died in this world lived in another world before, so there is the description of "before".

Another world...

This aroused Eros's interest, and made him have different expectations for this time that was like stagnant water.

Sure enough, in this world, there are many mysteries that even gods cannot understand.

Chaos' divine power contains endless and powerful power, part of which is the control of time. When time is distorted to a certain extent, a new space will be extended, which is the so-called illusion.

He has this part of the divine power of Chaos in his body, and he is easy to create illusions. Because of this, in the eyes of other gods, the words that may be jokes fall into Eros' ears and are rejected. Interpreted the most unlikely but closest truth.

Eros believes that besides this world, there are other worlds that exist, like distorted time, like a virtual illusion.

He wants to see another world.

And the child who was trapped in the vortex and absorbed Chaos' divine power became his target.

He had a premonition that as long as the part of the child's divine power belonging to Chaos was extracted and fused with his divine power, time could be distorted more accurately, no longer just an illusion, but a kind of more real space.

After that, all his plans were born of this.

He couldn't get close to the boy surrounded by the vortex, and he couldn't leave Tartarus, the abyss, for too long. All kinds of restrictions made him more eager to explore other worlds.

Each time, he could only briefly pull his consciousness out of the abyss, and then go to the ground to observe the child's movements.

Also for this reason, he saw all the disguises of the child named Hephaestus, and also saw a man with similar divine power to himself——Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

The god of love and beauty, even Eros has to admit that this man's appearance is enough to deserve the reputation and praise of the most beautiful god in the god world.

A plan emerged in his mind when he sensed Hephaestus incorporating part of Chaos' power into a red bracelet.

When Aeolus, the god of wind, was hunted down by Ares, he saved the other party. As the most uncapturable and invisible wind in the world, Aiolos will definitely help his plan.

So he used Aiolos to use Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and then he deliberately did not return to the abyss for a long time, causing the seal to loosen, and the abyss changed again, and it was stronger than ever.

Logically, Aphrodite, who had a similar source of divine power to him, came to the region to strengthen the seal.

Later, in order to add the crime to Aphrodite, he completely withdrew his consciousness from the region. This time, he did not return to the abyss, so the imprisoned criminal and Titan

All the protoss escaped, and when the gods were busy dealing with these prisoners, he asked Aeolus, the god of wind, to send the magic box he made with the god level to the city of Cyprus.

Then there is Aphrodite caught in his vision.

Everything is going according to his plan.

Just when he thought he could take off the bracelet on Aphrodite's wrist, he didn't expect that this obviously heartless guy would really block the attack of Ares for that human being regardless of his own safety.

He underestimated the status of that human prince in Aphrodite's heart.

It also underestimated Aphrodite's position in Hephaestus' heart.

He thought that Hephaestus would first fuse with the dull and ugly consciousness imprisoned on Mount Olympus in the state of a white tiger, but he didn't expect that Hephaestus would disregard his own safety, and after being joined by the Greek gods Under the weak situation of siege, I chose to go to Aphrodite first.

These two variables derailed his plan at once.

He failed to get the bracelet, but asked Hephaestus to cast the bracelet into a pill and feed it into Aphrodite's stomach.

How could he be willing?

So he approached Zeus and directly told the long-standing king that Hephaestus, the god of fire, had the power of Chaos, the god of chaos.

There is a saying spread throughout the gods.

Every generation of God King will be eaten by his children, and his children will take away his kingship and become the master of the new generation of the entire God Realm.

As the former protagonist of this legend, no one believed in this rumor like a vicious curse more than Zeus.

And Hephaestus, the god of fire with the power of Chaos, became the most feared object of Zeus and the person Zeus most wanted to get rid of.

Eros didn't know how Zeus explained his identity to the gods, and he didn't know how Zeus persuaded the gods to join him in the crusade against Hephaestus. Maybe it was because of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

Except for a few special ones, in the entire God Realm, there are not many gods who do not have a good impression of Aphrodite.

Eros didn't get too entangled in the reason. From the beginning to the end, there was only one thing he cared about, and that was the part of the divine power that Hephaestus obtained from Chaos.

He just wanted to get back the divine power of his father, so what's wrong?

Eros' hands hanging by his side were tightly clenched into fists, and he watched the steaming hot magma in silence. After a long time, he let out a sneer of unknown meaning.

Hephaestus, Aphrodite, cannot escape.

He won't give up so easily!
