Death knocked on the gate of hell

Venus returned to Olympus, walked into her palace, and admired it carefully in front of the mirror.Cyprus is the holy island where he was born, and most of the flowers on the island are white roses.Adonis weaves white roses into a garland and puts them on Venus' golden hair, making the goddess of beauty look more radiant and holy.

Venus was reluctant to take off the wreath.He cast a spell to freeze the white roses into eternity, so that they would never wither, so that they could be worn forever.If other gods saw it, they would only think that he picked it from his own garden.

I really want to see Adonis tomorrow.The goddess of beauty, who is in love, can't wait.

Just after they separated, Venus fell into longing.

But to-morrow I will go for a walk by the river with Hephaestus, and the day after tomorrow I will go riding with Ares.

Oh, these two guys who interrupted his relationship.

Venus sat down in front of the vanity mirror, resting her chin on one hand, with an unhappy expression on her face.

He also likes two friends, Hephaestus and Ares, but who makes him love Adonis more now?It is the nature of Eros to forget friends after seeing sex.

Compared with Venus' lack of interest, Hephaestus in the Temple of Fire is very nervous and looking forward to preparing for tomorrow's date.

Hephaestus stood in front of the mirror, constantly changing his clothes, trying to pick out the best one, and appearing in front of his sweetheart tomorrow with the most handsome posture.

After finally taking a fancy to a gorgeous and bright red dress like flames, Hephaestus was satisfied, the corners of his lips curled up, and a smile appeared in his red eyes.

But soon, he saw the flame birthmark on his face, and his eyes dimmed instantly.His eyes drooped and his smile faded.

No matter how good-looking he is, he was born with an ugly face.

How dare he look in the mirror.

When Hephaestus ran uncharacteristically towards the Rose Garden of the Goddess of Beauty, the gods of Mount Olympus were also stunned.

"He was willing to go out? Didn't he never communicate with other gods?"

"Except for the three virgin goddesses, no god can escape the charm of His Highness the Goddess of Beauty. He also covets the beauty of His Highness the Goddess of Beauty, right? With all due respect, it's like a toad wants to eat swan meat."

"That is, so many handsome male gods and beautiful goddesses are pursuing His Highness the Goddess of Beauty, and he doesn't look at himself in the mirror. Let's not talk about that face. Would His Highness the Goddess of Beauty fall in love with a cripple?"

Hephaestus was used to hearing all kinds of harsh and contemptuous ridicule.He had already done not care so much.He has always been a marginal figure in Olympus. He believes that appearance is innate, and everyone has the right to pursue love. It is a shameful act to judge people by their appearance. The hearts of those gods are far uglier than his appearance.

But now, looking at the half-disfigured face in the mirror, Hephaestus felt powerless and inferior like never before.

He took out a golden mask that he made himself, and covered his right eye, covering half of the birthmark.In this way, the Vulcan in the mirror becomes evil and handsome, not inferior to Apollo, the most beautiful man in Olympus.

——This beauty ranking does not include the god of beauty. After all, it is a foul for the god of beauty to compare his beauty with other gods. He should sit in the referee's seat.

Hephaestus, of course, does not qualify for the list.The gods are all good-looking, and among a group of beauties, mediocrity is already considered ugly, not to mention that he has such a big birthmark on his face.He always keeps his head down, and few gods are willing to look him squarely.

No god would notice that Hephaestus' facial features are extremely bewitching and confusing. If he didn't have this birthmark, he would at least kill the handsome god of war Ares in seconds.

It's a pity that there is no if, he was born with a deformed appearance, and he also has acquired leg and foot disabilities.His fate was such that even Zeus could not change it.

Even wearing a mask, standing still in front of a mirror can deceive oneself, and walking will reveal the fact that one is crippled.

Venus doesn't care, but he himself does.

How can he, who is so imperfect, be worthy of the perfect Venus?

Vulcan raised his eyes, and there was a strong unwillingness in his gloomy eyes.

The next day, Venus came to the river, where Hephaestus was already waiting.

"You came so early." Seeing Hephaestus wearing a mask, Venus exclaimed, "Your mask is so beautiful."

Hephaestus said, "Then I'll build you one too."

"Hephaestus, I just want to praise you, you don't need to give me everything." Venus laughed.

Hephaestus looked at the garland of white roses on Venus's head: "Your garland is beautiful too." You are more beautiful.

As soon as Adonis's gift was mentioned, Venus immediately became energetic, with pride and show off in his eyes: "Thank you, I also think it is very beautiful."

Hephaestus also felt better.

They walked along the river and chatted with each other.

When Venus and Adonis took a walk yesterday, they would bow their heads shyly and say nothing, but Hephaestus did not have this concern.He chattered and chatted all the way, with high spirits, and Hephaestus listened quietly with a smile, occasionally responding, with tender feelings in his eyes.

This beautiful picture fell into the eyes of a certain sea god in the deep sea, but it was not so beautiful.

In the underwater palace, Poseidon sat on the throne, staring at the water mirror in front of him, his eyes were as cold as ice.

What is shown in the water mirror is the scene of Venus and Hephaestus walking by the river, talking and laughing.

The Emperor of the Sea governs all waters and can detect everything that happens near the waters.Poseidon monitors all the rivers on Mount Olympus. As long as Venus appears by the water, every move will come into Poseidon's sight.

Poseidon knew how popular Venus was on the mountain.

On the one hand, he feels that a unparalleled treasure like Venus deserves to be loved by the whole world. On the other hand, he just wants to take this treasure as his own, hide it in a dark undersea palace, and be admired by him alone.

He wanted to go up the mountain to plunder Venus to the bottom of the sea countless times, and raise him to adulthood himself, but he stopped regretfully in the end.

Without the nourishment of the divine power on Mount Olympus, the Venus godhead would be incomplete and may only possess the power of a demigod.

That would not be perfect.

What he fancy is a perfect lover, this is an obsession, even if he can't break the rules.

Even if you are unhappy in every way, you can only wait patiently.

Feeling the turbulence of the sea, the guards of the palace complained incessantly.

100 years ago, Venus, the god of love and beauty, was born. His Majesty the Sea Emperor was in a good mood, and the sea finally calmed down for a while, allowing them to relax.

But not long after, His Majesty the Sea Emperor fell into a low mood again because he could not see His Highness the Goddess of Beauty, and the storm returned.

I don't know when, His Majesty the Sea Emperor will go to the nearby Cyprus Island to spend a day every once in a while, and when he comes back, he will be in a happy mood and let the sea calm down for a while.

The gods of the sea speculated whether there was something like a sedative on Cyprus Island that could stop His Majesty the Sea Emperor's violent temper.

After thinking about it, I can only think that Cyprus is the holy island of His Majesty the Goddess of Beauty.When His Highness the Goddess of Beauty was born, he could make His Majesty the Sea Emperor's mood turn from rainy to sunny, and now he may be going there to touch the scene to make him feel better, and he has also calmed down.

But this time His Majesty the Sea Emperor only came back from Cyprus for a day, why is he unhappy again?

In the water mirror, the figure of the third god appeared again.

Venus and Hephaestus walked halfway and met Ares, the god of war.

The six eyes faced each other, and the scene was awkward.

When Ares saw Hephaestus, his jealousy rose instantly, and he asked Venus, "Why are you with him again? You refused to ride a horse with me today, so you gave him your time?"

Venus had been walking with Hephaestus for two consecutive days, but Ares only invited him for one day, and he felt he was losing money.

Hephaestus frowned, took a step forward, and blocked Venus behind him: "Venus's time is not only yours. He already rode with you yesterday, what's wrong with me taking a walk with him?"

Venus's heart skipped a beat, it's too bad, it's about to reveal the truth.

Ares was really angry: "You still beat me up? Didn't Venus walk with you yesterday?!"

Hephaestus was equally displeased: "He's clearly riding with you—"

The two male gods stopped at the same time, reacted, and looked at Venus together.

Ares was the first to ask, "Venus, where did you go yesterday?"

Venus: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "I didn't go anywhere, I just made wreaths in my own garden."

The wreath of white roses on his head lends credibility to his words.

"But," Ares still had doubts, "you said you were going to take Hephaestus for a walk by the river yesterday. Why did you lie to me?"

"I really want to take a walk by the river with Hephaestus, but the time has been temporarily changed to today." Venus reacted very quickly and sighed, "I was a little dizzy yesterday afternoon, and I didn't want to go out, so I postponed my meeting with you. Hephaestus’ date, I told you that I’m free the day after tomorrow. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would worry.”

This logic sounded right to Ares. He was a god of war with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, so he was easily fooled.

It turned out that this was a white lie of Venus, because he didn't want him to worry about his body.Even though he was dizzy, he agreed to ride a horse with him. Venus must have cared a lot about him.

Ares was moved and distressed: "Why did you agree to ride a horse with me when you are not feeling well? Don't force yourself too much. Are you still not feeling well? Actually, I am not very anxious about tomorrow..."

Hephaestus heard something was wrong.

According to Hephaestus, Ares asked Venus for a date before him.Since Ares came first, why did Venus tell Ares that he was going on a date with her?Venus is not the god of prophecy, so it is impossible to know in advance that I will go for a walk with him.

Before Hephaestus could ask a question, Venus looked at Hephaestus again: "Hephaestus, in fact, if you don't come to me, I'm going to invite you for a walk."

Hephaestus lost his mind.

Venus originally planned to...invite him?

Hephaestus' heart beat faster, and he couldn't believe that he could be favored by God of Beauty.

So even though Ares was the first to date Venus, Venus also told Ares to take a walk with him first, because he had already planned to date him today.His appointment time is ahead of Ares, which shows that he is more important than Ares in Venus' heart.As for Venus telling him yesterday afternoon that he had agreed to ride a horse with Ares, he certainly didn't want him to see that he was actually unwell and couldn't go out at all.

Venus is always so kind.

Everything has a reasonable explanation.

Hephaestus asked with concern: "Are you still dizzy?"

"It's all right." Venus shook her head, showing a pure and harmless smile, "I'll just rest for an afternoon, I still have the mind to weave a wreath."

Ares and Hephaestus were relieved.

In the undersea palace, Poseidon looked into the water mirror and lied without changing his face. Venus, who coaxed the god of fire and the god of war around, melted the ice in his eyes, and let out a low laugh of joy.

How could he not know who Venus was with yesterday afternoon.

I am afraid that Hermes, the god of deceit, will be amazed at Venus' ability to open his eyes and tell lies when he sees this scene.
