Do not wake up the gods of the abyss [Greek mythology]

Apollo swung his sword to block Zeus's attack.

Facing the power of the thunder that swept over him, it was not easy for him to resist.The joints of the fingers are tense, and the muscles of the arms are also stretched into smooth and powerful lines, breaking away from the appearance of gentleness and showing the beauty of pure masculine power.He tilted his head and looked at Tartarus, his expression was not dignified, and he was still calm: "I can still deal with it."

Tartarus did not move, he believed that Apollo had sense.

However, he really wanted to support Apollo.

Hearing what Zeus said, he once wanted to throw a few Abyss God? Powerballs to make Zeus shut up.

He hated Zeus, hated his aggressiveness.

But he didn't know that this dislike came from his love for Apollo.

He hasn't learned the word "distressed", but he has already learned how to feel sorry for a male god.

Tartarus is not good at understanding complicated people's hearts, and naturally he didn't realize that although he didn't support Apollo in action, his question forced Zeus to slow down and prevent the conflict from escalating: "Apollo Luo, you are a smart child, but your reaction today is really disappointing! Do you think I am deliberately making things difficult for you? On the contrary, I am protecting you!"

Apollo didn't believe what Zeus said, he knew exactly what made Zeus change his attitude.

Tartarus mentioned the topic of "backing up" again, and made his attitude clear. If Zeus hurt him, he would definitely incur retaliation from the god of the abyss.

Zeus was just cowardly.

He has always been very good at bluffing when he is guilty, and this time is the same.

It's just that Apollo knew him too well, so he saw him right away.

"Of course you won't embarrass me, but when it comes to punishing me, the goddess of the earth must have more say."

Zeus's face darkened again: "Do you think the goddess of the earth didn't come to me? It was you who caused me the trouble! I'll take care of you and reduce the punishment, you Instead, blame me for punishing you, it really does not distinguish between good and evil!"

This sentence is also false.

Apollo knew it well.

Instead, Zeus should have received the favor from the goddess of the earth?

After all, he has always been profit-seeking, and he has a natural ability to seek benefits for himself.

Apollo had long expected that the anger of the goddess of the earth was behind this incident, but Tartarus didn't think so much. When Zeus mentioned "the goddess of the earth", he couldn't help frowning.

Gaia is too idle, why is she everywhere?

Since you are bored, why not choose to sleep?

"If it's Gaia's instruction, you can ignore it." Tartarus said to Zeus: "Just tell her that Apollo has me? Back up and let her come to me."

If Zeus didn't take advantage of Gaia, he must be eager to get rid of this hot potato quickly.But he got the power of life from Gaia, and pulled out the power of destruction in his body. If he didn't complete the matter, Gaia's anger would definitely be passed on to him, and he would lose even more!

He could only hang his neck and say, "God of the Abyss, what you said is about you and the goddess of the earth, and I? What I have to deal with now is about my relationship with Apollo."

Zeus has always been good at changing concepts secretly, and the taciturn Pluto Hades is often blocked by his tricks.

However, Tartarus didn't take this approach: "Apollo's business is my business."

He looked at Zeus and made a serious suggestion: "If you are afraid of offending Gaia, go to Thessaly to graze by yourself."

Zeus:? ? ?

Zeus was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

In fact, Tartarus didn't quite understand why Gaia's anger could be calmed down by shepherding him. Anyway, he would not let Apollo be punished.Since Zeus was afraid that Gaia would get angry, he just went to graze by himself.

Apollo followed the train of thought of Tartarus, and then he understood the meaning of Abyss God, and couldn't help chuckling: "Yes, Father God, if you go in person, Admetos will definitely entertain you warmly." .”

Zeus ordered Apollo to go to Thessaly to graze, which was both revenge and kindness.He cherished Apollo's talent and wanted him to continue to be his faithful hyena, so he decided to give him a lighter punishment without hurting his god? body; but in order to satisfy Gaia, he punished Apollo when he was destroyed the second time. He didn't care when he was hurt by the power, and he tried every means to humiliate him, asking him to serve his illegitimate son, a human king.

However, he did all his calculations, but he couldn't calculate that Apollo would tear up the meekness of the past, contradict him again and again, and even mocked him with Tartarus, suggesting that he go to graze in person.

He is a majestic god? King!

Zeus was so angry that he felt offended.

"Apollo, that's your punishment, but if you still have a little responsibility, you should accept it!" Zeus said plausibly.

"Excuse me? Unacceptable."

Apollo looked calm, but his attitude was very firm.

Before coming to the Temple of Thunder, he thought that rejecting Zeus would encounter many obstacles, so he needed the help of Tartarus.In fact, otherwise, if you refuse, as long as you firmly believe in it, you can make a big impact.

Seeing Apollo's resolute expression, Zeus just couldn't believe it.If possible, he really wanted to use force to solve Apollo's rebellion and let him know who he should listen to.However, Tartarus was present and wanted to support Apollo. He was far inferior to the God of the Abyss in fighting force, so he could only hold back.

"Apollo, don't embarrass me. Maybe you are dissatisfied with this punishment, but I have tried my best to win it for you. If you don't do it, the goddess of the earth will definitely be dissatisfied." Zeus showed embarrassment and decided to follow Apollo played the emotional card.

Apollo sincerely said: "My Godfather, please take care of me. If the goddess of the earth has any dissatisfaction, I will bear it all."

Zeus was anxious: "You are so stubborn! What's wrong with going to Thessaly to avoid the limelight? As long as you go, I can promise you one thing!"

When Zeus was in a hurry, he made random promises. Apollo seized the opportunity and readily agreed: "Okay!"

Zeus froze for a moment, frowned and confirmed: "What did you say?"

Tartarus found that Zeus was always inattentive to listen to others: "Apollo said, good."

Zeus was sure that he had been tricked by his good son.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the name of the God of Light from between his teeth: "Ah, Bo, Luo!"

Apollo looked at him with a smile. His smile was harmless, but there was a sharpness hidden in his eyes.

He can leave no trace, but he doesn't.

He wanted to give Zeus a taste of cunning, which was a reciprocation.

"Father God, I don't need to go to Thessaly to avoid the limelight, but I am willing to accept punishment for you." Apollo said, his green eyes were full of sincerity.

Zeus didn't believe him, and he couldn't expose him, because he had no other way to coerce Apollo to go to Thessaly, but to win Apollo's cooperation.

"Apollo, you are very good." Zeus said reluctantly: "I? I would like to give you a reward, just ask for it!"

A good punishment, an opportunity to kill Apollo's spirit, turned into a reward, and Zeus felt a little complicated.

Appreciating Zeus' depression, Apollo said happily, "The omnipotent god? King, I want to ask for a gift from the goddess of hunting, Artemis."

Zeus was amazed. He didn't expect such a good opportunity. Apollo didn't seek benefits for himself, but he was thinking of his sister Artemis in his heart.

"You said."

Apollo said: "The goddess of hunting? Artemis was appointed as the god of birth by the goddess of fate long before she came into the world. At the beginning of her birth, she delivered my baby for me, which also proved that she is indeed qualified to be in charge of fertility. However For thousands of years, the God Realm has not recognized her as a midwife priest. I want to ask for a gift for her, and ask the God King to grant her the priesthood of midwifery."

Zeus' eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Apollo smiled again, his smile was as bright as the sun, but there was a lingering sadness in his green eyes.

"I? Don't want to embarrass you. However, revenge, I? Want to avenge, sister, I? Want to protect, just like I? Respect and love you, all from the bottom of my heart."

Zeus stared at Apollo for a few seconds, and had to admit that his emotions were not faked.Can't help but secretly sigh, it turns out that he misunderstood Apollo!

When Apollo received the god of the abyss, he had a bad relationship with him, and because he left the God Realm without authorization and caused trouble in Delphi, the relationship between father and son reached a point of tension.However, if you think about it carefully, Apollo has never touched him. Although there is a resolute rejection in his words, he is a proud god of light. He also has his own temper, which is understandable after thinking about it.Not to mention this time, with the backing of Tartarus, he could have refused to go unpunished. If it wasn't for the sake of saving the face of his god-king, how could he have put forward such a small condition in exchange for a hundred years of his time?

Zeus succeeded in convincing himself, and he knew that his good son would not easily abandon him.

He said in a deep voice: "Apollo, you are a heroic god, and you are also a good brother and son. I agree to your request."

Apollo saluted him: "Thank you for your gift."

In order to show his attitude, Zeus raised his voice and summoned the gods to promulgate his god's decree, making Artemis the new god of delivery.

The gods didn't know what Apollo and Zeus talked about, but judging from the reaction of the two gods, it seemed that they had reached an agreement.He was speechless inwardly, recalling the horrible noises he heard outside the temple just now, he really didn't know what the talkative God of Light said, and how to coax the God King well.He accepted the decree of the God King, spread it to every corner of the God Realm, and also spread the conflict and reconciliation in the Temple of Thunder vividly.

Apollo and Zeus had a good deal, so they didn't bother him to recuperate.

He is a straightforward god? Since he agreed to Zeus's conditions, he decided to return to the Temple of Light to arrange everything, and immediately went to Thessaly.

Sitting in the temple, Zeus recalled everything that had just happened. Although the twists and turns were not what he expected, it was finally resolved satisfactorily. It also tested Apollo's loyalty to him and proved that he did not lose his left and right arms. Tone, cheer up.He recently fell in love with Europa, the princess of Phoenicia. At this time, he solved the worries in his heart, and wanted to go to the world to meet her, and bury his tired head on her snow-white and soft chest, and let her love soothe his tiredness. mind.

As soon as he left, there was no trace of the God King in the Temple of Thunder.

Zeus, who was intoxicated in the beauty town, obviously forgot that he gave Artemis the identity of the god of midwifery, which is bound to dilute the divine power of the original god of midwifery.And in the huge God? Realm, the person in charge of the priesthood of fertility is his seventh wife, his jealous sister—the Queen of Heaven, Hera.

The dispute between Zeus and Hera was unknown to Tartarus.

He walked out of the Temple of Thunder with Apollo, with lowered eyelids and a cold and normal expression.

The sun was sinking to the west, and the setting sun spread on the fluffy grass, lengthening the shadows of the two male gods.

In the silence, Tartarus suddenly called out: "Apollo."

Apollo turned his head to look at him, meeting a pair of serious blue eyes.

"I? Didn't do a good job today."

Tartarus summed himself up.

Apollo couldn't react in time: "What?"

Tartarus' expression? Disappeared? Dejected, but Apollo felt that he was seriously reflecting: "I? Didn't support you well."

Without waiting for Apollo to make a statement, he added: "It won't happen next time."

His expression is cold and indifferent, but his eyes are extremely sincere, like a proud cat, not good at showing his obedience.

Apollo couldn't stand his cute reaction, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes were deep.

Tartarus didn't notice, and took two steps forward, see? He didn't follow, turned to look at him: "Aren't you leaving?"

He also stopped.

Apollo didn't say a word, he raised his hand, and his fingers fell on the top of Tartarus' hair.

For the first time, he was so bold that he touched Tartarus' curly black hair regardless of the etiquette and dignity of the gods.

Tartarus' hair is like him, but not like him. The hair is extremely soft and smooth, unlike his cold appearance, but very much like his soft heart.

Tartarus raised his face, and the silky hair slipped from Apollo's fingertips.

Feeling the coolness of his fingertips, Apollo subconsciously twirled his fingers.

Tartarus asked him, "Is it easy to touch?"

Apollo was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to recover his voice. He said honestly, "It's easy to touch."

Tartarus asked again: "Why did you touch me?" His expression was so serious that he seemed to be discussing some academic issue.

Apollo was rarely questioned and could not give a reason.

When he touched Tartarus, he didn't think too much? He just wanted to be close to him.

This is the first time he has tried to get close to someone since he grew up.

Unlike his relatives, Tartarus is a more special existence.

He likes him, likes to be close to him, likes to be with him.

He likes him.

Apollo suddenly realized this, and his eyes trembled slightly, as if the spring breeze rips across the lake and shatters a pool of stars.

Without waiting for his response, Tartarus asked again: "Why did you touch me?"

He always has some inquisitive stubbornness.

Apollo was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he couldn't get out of it for a while. When he met Tartarus' questioning gaze, he subconsciously replied: "Because-I like you."
