Ares, God of War

"Hippomenes, you have failed, my poor child." The Goddess of Beauty gently stroked Hippomenes's head, then stretched out her hand to lift his chin: "But it's all because of my terrible And the reason why the violent brother was there to make trouble, it's not your fault, it's not your fault."

"Great Aphrodite."

Hippomenes murmured, lowered his head tremblingly, and said:

"I'm useless. Under your protection, I still haven't won my love."

"Good boy, forget about it."

Aphrodite said softly:

"Go back to your hometown, have a good dream in the company of your family, rest for a while, and then think about the grand sacrifice you are going to present to me."

"Ah."

Hippomenes was immersed in the gentleness of Aphrodite, but at this moment, I don't know if he was affected by the breath of Ares, this handsome young man suddenly had a twitch , asked Aphrodite:

"But, great Aphrodite, under your protection, I didn't get what I wanted, the love of Her Royal Highness Princess Atalanta. Even so, do I have to sacrifice to you? ?”

"Huh?" Aphrodite's complexion changed, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth also retracted. She pushed Hippomenes away, and then asked lightly: "So, my dear Hippomenes , do you want to deny my sacrifice?"

Chapter 226. Athena's potion

The Greek gods are not only connected with nature and the source of power, but even their own personalities are like the incarnation of nature. When they hear the wind is rain, their faces change when they say it.

Just like now, just now, Aphrodite was still a good woman who gently comforted Hippomenes. If Hippomenes gave up his heart to beg, maybe he could still have a kiss in this forest Fangze.

But now, after hearing that Hippomenes meant that he didn't want to sacrifice, Aphrodite's expression changed immediately.

She indifferently pushed away her once beloved darling, and then asked:

"Hippomenes, I have sheltered you and fulfilled my promise, but now you ask such a question, so, do you want to repudiate me?"

Seeing Aphrodite's face, Hippomenes also reacted. He was sweating coldly, and eagerly argued:

"My kind Aphrodite, it's not what you think, what I just meant..."

"enough!"

Not all Greek gods are as talkative as Ares, so Aphrodite directly interrupted Hippomenes and issued his own sentence on him:

"I don't need a believer who doesn't believe in me, Hippomenes, and I will punish you."

After finishing speaking, the Goddess of Beauty gently exhaled towards his followers, and Hippomenes suddenly felt his whole body stiff and unable to move.

No matter how unbearable Aphrodite is, she is also a god-level god. It is still very easy to subdue a mortal like Hippomenes who has little strength.

Aphrodite circled around the immobile Hippomenes, and her beautiful eyes began to reveal a thoughtful look. She wanted to turn Hippomenes into an animal in a fit of anger, to save herself But if you think about it carefully, there are at least two divine creatures pulling carts for other god-level gods, but Hippomenes only has one, and she will have to find another one when the time comes. To match, it is a little troublesome.

If possible, Aphrodite actually wanted to turn the princess of Arcadia into another animal. At the banquet of the gods, Ares voluntarily rejected her courtship, but now she turned into another animal. Participated in the princess's son-in-law race, and also took her away like his father Zeus. Presumably, Atalanta will definitely become the concubine of the God of War in the future. Not as charming as a wild girl who grew up in the mountains of Arcadia?

However, when she thought of Ares, God of War, she dared not attack Atalanta. God of War is an unreasonable and fearless reckless man. Thinking of how the god of war was in her palace and almost beat the god of the south wind to death, Aphrodite felt a surge of fear in her heart.

If Zeus and the others hadn't come in time, Ares probably wouldn't mind killing Notos, the god of the south wind.

Therefore, Aphrodite resolutely dismissed this idea, and even gave up the plan to turn Hippomenes into an animal. She thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the one with the unfathomable face a few days ago Smiling, came the goddess of wisdom in her palace.

At that time, Athena not only borrowed her son Eros to shoot arrows from her, but also left her a tube of potion that is said to be able to turn humans into monsters. will be useful.

Aphrodite took out the tube of potion from her arms. The potion was knocked into a test tube made of bronze material. Through the intentionally designed translucent material, one could see the crystal clear blue potion inside. As beautiful as the blue sea.

In front of the test tube, Athena also installed a sharp needle. As long as the needle is inserted into the blood vessel of other people, this exquisitely designed test tube will automatically inject the medicine in the test tube into the person. in the body.

Looking at the crystal clear potion in the test tube, Aphrodite formed a vicious smile on the corner of her mouth. She came behind Hippomenes, and then deeply pierced the needle into Hippomenes. In the aorta of Menes' neck.

"Whether you can survive or not depends on your own luck."

After finishing speaking, Aphrodite threw the empty test tube aside, and then dispelled her spell. Hippomenes uttered a painful cry, fell to the ground, and began to twitch continuously.

The surface of his body was covered with blue blood vessels, and then countless hairs grew out, and then the whole person began to twist and transform in a strange direction.

In the forest at night in Arcadia, a terrifying roar that did not resemble a human suddenly sounded.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ares waited for Atalanta to wake up, and after tidying himself up, he took her from a certain hotel in Arcadia, preparing to leave here and go to the Kingdom of Sparta, the private land he had sheltered. .

But just when the two walked onto the street, they saw many Arcadia warriors appearing on the streets of Arcadia. They looked nervous, armed with weapons, and patrolled the streets back and forth.

At first, both Ares and Atalanta thought it was because of the incident caused by the arrival of Ares yesterday, but when they passed by a market in the city-state of Arcadia, they saw several merchants in the market with expressions on their faces. After being questioned by a group of Arcadia soldiers in horror, Ares and Atalanta suddenly understood that the martial law in the city-state had nothing to do with Ares.

Think about it, too, in this era, if a main god robbed the princess of a certain country on the ground, that king would not dare to show any displeasure at all, so after Ares "robbed" Atalanta, let her The nationwide martial law in the Kingdom of Arcadia is very meaningless.

"Master Ares, do we want to ask?"

After all, Arcadia is also his hometown, so after seeing this situation, Atalanta asked softly.

"It's okay, I'll just investigate this matter."

Ares said:

"Your identity is sensitive, it's best to leave here first."

After finishing speaking, Ares' divine power avatar led Atalanta to move forward. At the same time, he focused on two purposes, mobilizing the avatar that was helping the audience yesterday and came to Atalanta. At the market in Cadia.

This avatar of Ares used the identity of a merchant from the city-state of Thebes, so after seeing the situation on the street, he was very "surprised" and stopped a team of Arkadi on the street. He gave them some drachmas as a bribe, and started asking about the martial law in Arcadia.

"Friend, what happened to Arcadia?" Ares pretended to be surprised, and asked with a little fear: "Could it be because of what happened on the field yesterday?"
