[Greek mythology] Grey-eyed goddess

Zeus smiled, the overall situation is settled!According to past practice, Apollo will naturally stand on the side of Artemis, and five votes are enough.

"I am the god of light and the god of the sun. I understand the desire of the world for life. Every day, as the light shines on the earth, human beings start a day's work and rest, work hard for life, and struggle to avoid the threat of death. According to the God's decision to interfere with the birth, aging, sickness and death of nature is a veto of human efforts and the greatest blasphemy against life." Apollo closed his eyes and cast his vote: "I oppose this kind of blasphemy. Endymion will not allow it. Resurrection, the dead will return to Hades."

"Four votes in favor, four votes against, and four votes neutral. What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Yang Yan asked Hades beside her with a smile.

"What do you think?" Hades looked directly at Yang Yan: "You should have made a decision." Yang Yan is not such an obedient person, and the immortal grass belongs to Yang Yan. If Endymion is to be resurrected, then he would rather destroy all the immortal grass than cut off Selene's last thoughts.

Rather Stick to your guns.Yang Yan is not an obedient master, even if it is the decision of the gods, she will not obey.

"I hand over my vote to you, and you make the decision on behalf of Hades."

The corner of Si's mouth twitched, and seeing Hades delegate power like this, he looked at Yang Yan in surprise: Brother, don't you really want her to be the queen?So delegating power?Is she trying to tell us that she can symbolize the underworld?

The main gods were very surprised, especially Demeter, the god of agriculture, but seeing the color handed over by Yang Yan, the god of agriculture was relieved: "That's right, this girl is entangled with that god every day, and she has nothing to do with Hades."

"Your Majesty really thinks highly of me, but since you leave it to me, why don't you leave it to fate." Yang Yan smiled half a smile, floating in a ball of light in the golden magic medicine in her hand: "Let fate decide, look at Selene's fate." To what extent will the will be firm in the end.”

Yang Yan originally intended to object, but the friendship between Gu Quan and Artemis gave Selene a chance.

The four people who voted against, together with Yang Yan, protected the undead grass. If Selene could obtain the undead grass within twelve hours, then Endymion could be given a chance to be resurrected.

Hera and the others nodded after hearing this, and each started to prepare.

Yang Yan and Apollo first went to choose the venue.

"You are good enough to Al. This kind of thing actually takes her position into consideration."

"Because I believe that she will lose, it's just a favor. But I didn't expect that you would actually disagree with Al's opinion."

"Because I am the sun god." Apollo said calmly: "The sun is a symbol of life. It is precisely because I hate death that I know the value of life."

The two gods searched for a place on the holy mountain, and finally Apollo came to a wasteland: "Here it is!" He stretched out his hand to the wasteland, and a six-star magic circle appeared in the palm of his hand: "Splendid Temple." A magic circle of light appeared in the wasteland, The earth rumbles and a labyrinth rises.

"This is my title, the maze will change every hour."

The golden maze refracts the sunlight and reflects the shadows of people, making people lose their way in this maze.

Not long after, Athena came and handed a box to Yang Yan: "The box of wisdom has a hundred locks for serial sealing."

Ares set up death traps in the maze, and Hera ordered the monsters around her to enter the maze to guard Athena's treasure box of wisdom.

"Hermona, your obstacle?"

"Just this snake." Yang Yan did not know where to find a feathered snake with wings, which is a kind of divine beast, and Yang Yan put it into the maze.

"Everything is left to fate."

The five gods were ready, and Selene, accompanied by Artemis, walked to the door of the labyrinth.

"Al, you can't go in, everything is left to Selene to act on her own." Apollo stopped his sister, and the gods stood outside and waited patiently.

Selene walked into the maze, and immediately saw the reflections on the walls. The reflections were refracted on the surrounding walls of light, and countless figures appeared to affect her judgment.And from time to time there will be traps shooting various poisonous arrows and javelins on the road.

"Help...help..." Suddenly a cry for help came from ahead, Selene hesitated and walked over to check.I saw a feathered snake being ambushed by a trap, and Ares' javelin nailed him to the wall, making it impossible to escape.

The Feathered Serpent twisted its body continuously, blood dripping down.

"Great goddess, can you please pull out this javelin? As a price, I can take you to the depths of the maze to find the box of wisdom."

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Selene said vigilantly.

"I am the divine beast sent by Hera to hinder the goddess from your search for undead grass." Feathered Serpent Sisi revealed the snake letter: "But now I am trapped in the trap of His Royal Highness Ares, and I want you to release me. I I can use my natural instinct to find the right way in the maze."

Outside, the gods saw what the feathered snake said, and Hera looked at Yang Yan.Yang Yan smiled slightly: "Just wait and see what step this cunning feathered snake can make."

Taking into account Hades' attitude just now, the Empress vaguely guessed that Hermona was the candidate for the Queen of the Underworld, so she treated her with courtesy and nodded silently: "Then let's see."

Feathered Serpent tricks Selene into releasing herself with sweet words.Then take Selene through Apollo's labyrinth, avoiding Ares' traps and Hera's monsters.

Gradually, as the Feathered Serpent pointed out the correct path, Selene let go of her guard, and it took three hours for one God and one snake to reach the depths.

"There is a hundred-eyed giant guarding the depths of the labyrinth. Therefore, you need the goddess to put him to sleep with magic power, so as to steal the box of wisdom from him."

Selene felt the violent breath coming from the depths, and nodded secretly.Cast a spell to put the hundred-eyed giant to sleep, and then walk over to have a look.The box of wisdom is being used as a pillow under the head of the hundred-eyed giant.Now hundreds of eyes are closed at the same time, and there is no defense at all.

"In this case, I can only kill you!" With a cold look, Selene took her own artifact and stabbed the hundred-eyed giant in one eye.Then he quickly picked out the eyeball and continued to stab.

The huge pain caused the hundred-eyed giant to break away from the sleep magic, and more than 90 eyes opened, suddenly a dazzling light, and temporarily blinded.

Selene used her own radiance, and the silver radiance shot in all directions, blinding the eyeballs of the hundred-eyed giant one by one.

"Hmph!" Hera stared angrily at Yang Yan when she saw her subordinate, the hundred-eyed giant being tortured and killed by Selene.If it wasn't for the Feathered Serpent's help, how could Selene kill his family members so easily.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, this matter is not over yet." Apollo smiled generously, already seeing Yang Yan's intentions.Hebe also smiled at this moment and said: "Didn't the mother goddess say that her peacock is not very beautiful? I think putting the eyeballs of this hundred-eyed giant on the peacock's tail feathers should make it more glorious." This is also the last one. The actions of Hera in the world, Hebe is not used to seeing the peacock beside Hera now.Beautiful is beautiful, but lacks that bewildering brilliance on the tail feathers.

After killing the Hundred-eyed Giant, Selene fled with the Box of Wisdom and the Feathered Serpent.

"Your Highness, if you go back with the box of wisdom, they may not recognize your victory. Why don't you release the shackles of the box of wisdom first, and then leave with the immortal grass?"

After staying in the labyrinth for so long, Selene was exhausted, and after listening to the feathered snake, she found a safe corner and broke the shackles on the box of wisdom.However, the chain chain left by the goddess of wisdom is not so easy to break.It took several hours for Selene and Feathered Serpent to barely unlock the Wisdom Box and take out the undead grass inside.

The golden undead grass appeared in front of Selene. The goddess was very pleasantly surprised, and the feathered snake's eyeballs rolled: "Your Highness, count the time, there are still more than four hours, why don't you go to sleep first, and I will wake you up later?"

Selene first walked in the maze, then fought against the hundred-eyed giant, and finally cracked the wisdom lock and walked back to the starting point when she had no strength left.So he asked Feathered Snake to help guard the immortal grass, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

At the beginning, Feathered Snake guarded with all his heart, carefully circled around the undead grass, and then thoughtfully covered Selene with hay.Selene squinted her eyes, seeing Feathered Serpent's actions, she was very relieved that she was single-minded, and fell asleep after confirming that he was not distracted.

The Feathered Serpent waited for a while before secretly swallowing the undead grass and slipping directly into the depths of the maze to avoid Selene's pursuit.

Selene woke up suddenly after sleeping for more than an hour. Seeing that the Feathered Serpent and the Undead Grass disappeared, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly searched for the Feathered Serpent's whereabouts in the maze.

After obtaining the immortal grass, the Feathered Serpent hid in the belly of the Hundred-Eyed Giant for sloughing.This time shedding his skin allowed him to truly shed the last blemishes of a mortal, and become a god-like existence with eternal lifespan.

A little bit of time passed, and when Selene found the Feathered Serpent again, the immortal grass had been swallowed by the Feathered Serpent.

Selene was furious, and at this moment it was too late to extract the power of the undead grass in Feathered Serpent's body, because the time had come, the brilliance of the labyrinth dimmed, and it returned to the wasteland again.

"The time has come. It seems that the arrangement of fate is not to bring Endymion back to life." Apollo said indifferently: "Selene, can you give up?"

Selene looked at the gods, and then saw the Feathered Serpent in front of her.Cursed in anger: "Evil and despicable snake, how dare you take advantage of my trust in you to ask for the treasure of God to obtain eternal life! I put a curse on you, you will never be able to fly in the sky in the future, and your stomach must always crawl and the earth, crawling on the ground for eternity!"

Because of the feathered snake's deeds of stealing the immortal grass, the snake became a symbol of immortality in later generations, and also became the endorsement of evil and despicableness.

However, it seems that because of the actions of this snake's distant ancestor, all feathered snakes on the earth have lost their wings.These innocent and implicated feathered snakes certainly have resentment towards their own race. At the same time, in order to prove their innocence to Selene, every snake of the feathered snake blood will turn its belly to the sky before death to prove own intelligence.These people were feathered serpent elves with broken wings in their previous lives.

This matter came to an end, and Yang Yan ordered Feathered Snake to steal the immortal grass, cutting off Selene's hope of resurrecting her lover.But Yang Yan will not do too much: "The resurrection of the dead is a big taboo, but I can give you another way. You can go to the underworld to find the sleeping god to create a unique dream for your lover, and meet him in the dream I will make his body immortal, so that he can be with you forever in his dreams, this is the bottom line of our underworld." After finishing speaking, he looked at Hades.

Hades nodded silently: "You mean the meaning of the underworld."

So the gods finally made a decision that Nubi, the judge of the underworld, made Endymion into an incorruptible corpse according to the skills taught by Yang Yan, and then the soul would always be with Selene in the dream.

As a price, Selene transferred her priesthood to Artemis, and she continued to serve in the Holy Mountain as the god of Artemis.

In this matter, the biggest winners are not the lovers Selene, but Yang Yan and Artemis.In this way, Artemis obtained another Luna priesthood, one step closer to the Eternal Moon.And Yang Yan used this to establish her prestige in front of the gods.It made the gods understand that a new queen was born in the underworld after Hecate, the queen of purgatory.Accompanied by another goddess later, and became the three queens of the underworld.
