Death knocked on the gate of hell

Zeus did what he said, and called all the Olympus gods together the next day, saying that he would announce a big news.

The god king was making great fanfare, and the gods did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the hall of the god king after hearing the summon.

Thanatos put on an invisibility helmet and a black robe, and quietly sneaked into this group of Olympian gods, ready to listen to the grand plan.

Recently, the Nordic pantheon suffered catastrophe, endangering the Greek sea area. Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, informed the underworld and the holy mountain at the same time.Pluto crazily strengthened the defense of the underworld. Although the underworld has a small number of manpower, all staff have entered a state of first-level alert.

The holy mountain did not move at all.

Hades is cautious by nature, and he also knows that Zeus has long wanted to annex the territories of his two elder brothers. It is hard not to guess that Zeus is secretly doing something, taking this opportunity to severely damage the two worlds of the underworld.Recently, the holy mountain just became popular to learn Chinese, which further convinced Hades that Zeus must have an ulterior plan to use this encrypted language.

For this reason, Hades asked Thanatos to learn Chinese diligently, and lent him an invisibility helmet that even gods could not see, and asked him to come to the holy mountain to inquire.

Thanatos lurked in the holy mountain for a few days, and finally waited for the time for them to discuss their plans.

Thanatos, who stood in the corner of the hall and was ignored by the gods, was confident about this operation.He has mastered Chinese proficiently, no matter how these gods talk in encrypted language, he can understand it.

When all the gods were almost assembled, Hephaestus came late and sat down in the corner silently.

The Fire God Temple is located in a remote place, and he has limited legs and feet, so he is always the last to come to every gathering.But the gods just set their eyes on him for a moment, and then they chatted and laughed happily.

If it weren't for the fact that Hephaestus had a good relationship with Venus and made a splash at Venus' coming-of-age banquet, he wouldn't even have this attention.

Thanatos stood not far from Hephaestus, watching the gods chatting in twos and twos, which was very lively, while Vulcan sat alone in the corner, looking very lonely.He clearly didn't wear an invisibility helmet, but he also looked like a transparent god.

The structure of Hades is very simple.The immediate boss is Hades, the god of the underworld, and the left and right assistants are Thanatos, the god of death, and Hypnos, the god of sleep.There is also a ten thousand-year house god, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, who directly incarnates in hell, never speaks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all of them are autistic.

Hypnos has a gentle and lively personality, and he can be regarded as a little sun in the underworld.It's a pity that the boss is taciturn, the younger brother is cold and fearful, and the god of the abyss is just dumb, and no one will answer when he wants to chat.

It is difficult to intrigue in this environment, Thanatos does not understand what exclusion and isolation are.But seeing the scene in front of him and putting himself in the situation of Vulcan, Thanatos felt that he had a social panic attack.

Fortunately, Zeus also made his grand debut at this time, breaking the embarrassment spreading in the corner.

The gods immediately stopped whispering, and their expressions became serious.Thanatos looked at Zeus and entered the state of wiretapping.

"I called everyone here today to announce a big news." Zeus said loudly.

The gods waited with bated breath.If it was an ordinary news, the God King would directly ask the God Envoy Hermes to convey it on his behalf. It must be a very important event for His Majesty the God King to announce in person.

"Yesterday Venus found me, saying that he loves my son Hephaestus, and begged me to marry them." Zeus looked at Venus with a smile, "How could I refuse the request of God of Beauty? It is up to the Lord to marry him and Vulcan. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so let’s do the marriage today!"

Venus clenched her fists tightly, resisting the urge to lift the table and pour all the wine on Zeus's face.

Zeus is really good at turning black and white!

A trace of bewilderment flashed in Thanatos' silver eyes under the hood.

That's it?

What's the big deal?

However, in Olympus, this is really a big deal, a big deal.

As soon as Zeus said this, the audience was in an uproar.

The gods immediately turned their attention to Hermes, Zeus's most trusted envoy, and asked him whether he knew it a long time ago.

Hermes quickly shook his head frantically, complaining inwardly.

Even he, who was the most well-informed, didn't know about this matter, so it was really sudden.Besides, how could he want Venus to get married? He still dreams of falling in love with Venus.

The gods on the holy mountain could hardly sit still.They all know that the beauty god will not belong to anyone alone, so they have reached a consensus long ago that the beauty god belongs to everyone.How could the god of love and beauty be bound by marriage!

And she married the ugliest Vulcan...

Although the gods discovered that the Vulcan, who covered the birthmark at the coming-of-age banquet, was unbelievably handsome, the prejudices for thousands of years had been deeply rooted and could not be reversed.In particular, he is going to marry the most beautiful Venus in the Holy Mountain. Jealousy will make the gods ignore his advantages, magnify his shortcomings infinitely and step on the mud, proving that he is not worthy of Venus.

The wine in Dionysus's cup was spilled, and he didn't realize it.Hermes' usual heartless smile also disappeared.Even Apollo pursed his lower lip, and his jawline tensed for a moment.

Artemis looked over lightly: "Brother, pay attention to your manners."

Apollo looked relaxed again, and continued to drink nonchalantly: "I won't get involved."

The grumpy Ares was the first to stand up and object: "I don't agree!"

His bleeding wound finally stopped last night, but his lower body still didn't feel like he could lift it up, which made Ares feel terrible.He also heard the news that his father was going to marry Venus and Hephaestus today, which directly added a thunderbolt to his cloudy mood.

If Venus is going to marry, why can't it be with him?

"Father, I also like Venus, I beg you to marry him to me!" Ares said loudly.

"Father, I am also willing to marry Venus." Dionysus, the god of wine, also stood up suddenly. This was a rare time for him to call Zeus his father.

Hermes cleared his throat: "Ahem, father, I actually like Venus quite a bit, can I marry him?"

Apollo put down his wine glass and stood up gracefully: "Father, I also admire Venus."

"Apollo!" Artemis glared at him—didn't you say that you don't get involved in this excitement?

Apollo blinked and made a mouth shape: Sister, I will follow suit.

Zeus: "..." Did Venus hook up all his sons?

"Father!" The three goddesses of beauty and nine muses also stood up.

Zeus looked at his daughters with a dark face: "What are you doing standing up again?"

A muse said: "Father, who stipulated that only brothers can marry Venus, we want to marry Venus too!"

"When Venus asked us to learn singing and dancing, his beautiful figure captured the hearts of our nine sisters. We are willing to marry him together!"

Zeus: "..." Very well, except for the three goddesses of timing, Venus also hooked up all his daughters.

The three Goddesses of Time Sequence sat in their original positions, but did not dare to stand up.

They also like Venus very much, but...they know that Venus and the Sea Emperor are engaged!

The other gods don't know about this matter, Zeus knows but doesn't care, and the goddesses of timing don't dare to remind at this juncture, adding a fatal blow to this already tragic field of Shura.

With the children of Zeus taking the lead, the other gods looked at each other and stood up silently, expressing their love for Venus.

Almost everyone stood up now.

Zeus: "..." If it weren't for the gap in strength, he suspected that his kingship had been emptied, and this holy mountain was simply dominated by Venus.

Venus sat on the seat, looking at a bunch of gods and goddesses standing up at a loss.He swears that he didn't hook up on purpose, he is good friends with every god, and it's this charm that has nowhere to put it that has caused him so many love affairs, and he doesn't want to!

Thanatos looked at the scene where everyone stood up to propose marriage, and for a moment didn't know how to feel.

He came to eavesdrop on the secrets, but he didn't expect to overhear such a big gossip.

For the god of death who has never been good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, Venus can conquer so many gods at the same time, which is enough to shock him for 300 years.

Also shocking is Hephaestus, the god of fire.

He still hasn't reacted yet.

From the beginning, Hephaestus never thought that the protagonist of this banquet was himself.He has long been used to being a transparent god. Even if he shined at the Venus banquet last time, it was only a flash in the pan. After that, he was still the blacksmith who forged iron by the campfire all day long and was ashamed under the smoke and fire.

An ugly duckling is an ugly duckling, never a swan.

The father said... Venus loved him and asked his father to marry them?

How is this possible?

Hephaestus himself thought it impossible, and the other gods even more so.

They knew that Venus and Hephaestus had a good relationship, but to be the first to invite Hephaestus to dance at the ball, and even the first to have sex with Hephaestus, that should be the limit.

The divinity of Eros predestined that Venus could not take the initiative to be bound by marriage—although marriage relationship has no constraints on the God of Olympus, getting married does not prevent them from finding lovers, the so-called marriage is just a Thin paper that can be shredded when it is torn, does not have the sacred and solemn meaning of mortals.

But Venus shouldn't even have this tissue paper.

He was born unable to be loyal, destined to linger in the flowers, how could he take the initiative to marry.

Ares questioned harshly: "Father, this is not true. Hephaestus is ugly, crippled, and only forges irons by the fire all day long. Venus cannot take a fancy to him."

He completely disregarded that this was the elder brother of his mother, and he was only filled with jealousy, and used the most vicious language to attack the rival in love who robbed Venus.

The other gods did not speak, but many of them were nodding in agreement.

Hephaestus bowed his head in silence.

The collective marriage proposal of the Olympian gods made Hephaestus once again clearly realize how beautiful and dazzling Venus is, and so many gods love him.

Why should he dream of getting this rose that all the gods want to pick.He was apprehensive even to smell the fragrance when he passed by, let alone bring the flowers home and make offerings carefully.

He couldn't believe what Zeus said was true.The god of Olympus always made fun of him at banquets, so that might be another trick on him.

Zeus looked at Venus with ill intentions: "Really? Venus, don't you think of my son?"

Venus looked away in disgust.

He knew exactly what Zeus was thinking.He rejected Zeus, who wanted to humiliate him by marrying him to the "ugly and lame" Hephaestus.In the eyes of Zeus, Hephaestus was just a tool to humiliate him, and Zeus himself was the one who looked down on Hephaestus the most.

But Zeus happened to call Hephaestus "my son" at this time, and put a hat on Venus.If Venus refuses, it means that he looks down on the son of the king of gods.Although almost all the holy mountains look down on Vulcan, including the god king and queen herself, she also dislikes this ugly and disabled son, but if Venus does not agree to marry Hephaestus, Zeus will use this as an excuse to punish Venus s.This is just an excuse to find fault.

Venus can also say clearly that he didn't want to marry Hephaestus at all, but that Zeus was unable to court, became angry and turned right and wrong.He could tell the truth, but what about the consequences?

Zeus has done many bad things, and this one is not bad at all.Zeus holds power, and even the queen Hera has nothing to do with Zeus's love.His telling the truth has no effect on Zeus, and the God King can still decide to marry him to Vulcan.

He might then have the sympathy of the gods, but how would Hephaestus be regarded?

The gods would laugh at him wantonly—the Vulcan is really useless, so how could the God of Beauty like him?I have to thank the God King for giving him the God of Beauty, otherwise, depending on him, I would never be able to marry a wife in this life, and no one would like him at all.

The confidence that Hephaestus had finally regained would be shattered again.He has never been affirmed and loved in his life, and any blow will push him into the abyss.

Zeus destroyed Venus if he couldn't get it, and he didn't even think about whether he would destroy his inferior son.

Venus stood up suddenly: "I made the marriage request, I like him, and I want to marry him."

The audience was silent.

Hephaestus looked up in astonishment.

Ares shook his head: "No, Venus, this is impossible, what do you like about him? He is obviously useless..."

"He is not ugly at all, he looks good, and the birthmark is also cool, it is the flame pattern bestowed on him by the gods. If you think it is ugly, then just treat it as a difference in our aesthetics. But I am the god of beauty, My aesthetics is the standard answer." Venus was so forceful that he almost said "You guys are blind".

The gods: "..." I was speechless.

Ares is still not reconciled: "You are talking nonsense because of him—"

"He is just good-looking, so what if he is not good-looking? Doesn't he deserve to be liked if he is not good-looking? Ares, he is your elder brother. You have repeatedly belittled him with the most mean and vicious words, and you all look down on him. I laughed at him and abused him, but he never spoke ill of any god in front of me. His heart is more beautiful than any skin I have ever seen."

"I hate his disability? His disability is also acquired." Venus glanced at Hera meaningfully, and sneered, "I think the one who should be ashamed of this is the chief culprit who caused his disability. The victim does not have to suffer any bitter consequences, but as the victim, he has to bear all the malice."

"You said he was a blacksmith who could only forge iron by the fire?" Venus laughed out loud now, and he looked around the hall, "He built all the temples of the Holy Mountain, your jewelry and your weapons. Your armor, your shield, and your scepter—he made it all day and night by the fire. I've seen him forge it, and it was a wonderful thing. Hard work. Why do you live in the palace he built and use the weapons he made, but say he is useless?"

Under the accusation of the god of beauty, the gods couldn't help avoiding their sight with guilt.

Venus walked to the table of Hephaestus, faced the gods, and blocked him with a protective posture: "He is worthy of liking, at least I like him."

Venus turned around, put her hands on Hephaestus' table, and looked down at him: "Hephaestus, last time I asked you if you would like to dance with me."

"This time I want to ask you, would you like to marry me?"

A farce was about to come to an end, and the god of death quietly left the holy mountain, returned to the underworld, and returned the invisibility helmet to Hades.

Hades closed his eyes on the throne and opened his eyes: "Have you found out the news?"

Thanatos was silent for a moment, and organized his words: "The king of gods gave a marriage to the god of beauty, the god of beauty, and the gods proposed to the god of beauty, and the god of beauty insisted on choosing Vulcan."

Thanatos tried to use the shortest sentences to fully express what he saw and heard on the holy mountain with a huge amount of information.

Hades: "...I asked you to find out the news, are you going to listen to gossip?"

Thanatos did not speak.

Hades is used to this subordinate's reticence, and he himself doesn't talk much, so the communication is normal instead: "Go back and check."

Thanatos finally spoke again: "No need."

Hades looked up: "What?"

"Neither of them seemed too bright," Thanatos said.

There may be no big plans at all.

He was a little unhappy. The hard work he spent days and nights holding a dictionary in order to learn Chinese was in vain.

Hades: "..."

Hades rubbed his temples: "Poseidon told me that Zeus has no brains. I still don't believe it. It seems to be true. Do you have nothing to do next?"

Thanatos said succinctly: "Harvest the dead." This is his real job.

Hades: "Except for this one."

Thanatos shook his head.Then there is nothing else.

"For the harvesting of the dead, I will send a few undead heroes and give them temporary supernatural powers." Hades said, "You are the strongest combat force in the underworld. Go to the sea realm to help Poseidon immediately. The sea realm has not been defended." , we are not safe either. By the way, tell Hypnos to warn the Holy Mountain... Forget it, it’s useless if Poseidon said it, let them die.”

Thanatos nodded and turned back into the darkness.
