Greek Mythology: Evolution From the Gargoyle

Chapter 202 Could It Be that the Gods Cannot See or Hear?

A goddess slowly entered the palace.

She was wearing a tattered dark red robe, with a golden band on her forehead, long black hair hanging down to her shoulders, and her face was pale and haggard.

Her thin ankles were wrapped in chains with barbs on them. Every step she took was extremely painful, and every step required a huge determination.

She bit her lip and slowly walked towards the royal court.

A faint smell of blood came. She was wet all over, as if she had just been whipped, and blood flowed down her calves from time to time, leaving spots of blood behind her.

In full view of the crowd, she finally walked to the front of the royal court and knelt on the ground.

She slowly raised her head.

There was a trace of restlessness above the royal court. The long torture had completely made her lose her former glory, but at this moment, the gods were still amazed at her beauty.

Not her appearance. Her left eye had been dug out, leaving only a dark eye socket, and her pale face was covered with scars, the wounds had already rotted. The sleeves on both sides were empty, and it was obvious that her arms had been cut off.

But the gods were still amazed at her gentle and calm temperament, her elegance and dignity, even if only her body was left, she was still dazzling.

She looked at Zeus on the throne, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zeus's first wife, the goddess of wisdom Metis.

"My husband..." she said softly.

Zeus did not answer.

Her eye sockets trembled slightly, then lowered her head and whispered: "My king."

"Sinner... Metis is here to see you."

"Sister!!!" Beside her, Eurynome jumped and jumped, holding up the broken arm in her hand high, "Sister!!"

"Sister." Metis turned her head. This was the first time she saw Eurynome after being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. She saw the broken arm in Eurynome's hand, the blood at the corner of her mouth, and her brilliant smile.

She also showed a gentle smile, "Sister, be good."

"Yes." Eurynome nodded, and she whispered, "Sister, come to my side."

Metis had lost all her power, and her feet were bound by chains. It was difficult for her to even take a step, so how could she stand up. But she nodded and whispered, "Okay."

Eurynome looked at the void and raised her hand, as if Metis really came over and held her hand.

Metis still knelt in the same place.

"Metis, even the Muse who is in charge of drama may not be as good as your acting skills."

"In the royal court, don't play this drama of sisterly love."

A lazy voice came from a distance.

In the middle of the night, the sky was full of light.

Amidst the thousands of lights, a brilliant rainbow road fell from the sky and was laid in the hall.

Previously, whether it was the wheat field born by Demeter's passing or the sea of ​​flowers born by Eurynome's passing, they all withered.

Seven peacocks, with their heads held high, walked into the hall.

The moment they stepped into the hall, they spread their feathers together, and the dazzling divine light made the gods cover their eyes.

Prometheus was prophetic and had already created a divine shield to protect his eyes. The sea tide around Poseidon was surging, swallowing the precious light, and Hades was surrounded by thousands of dead spirits, condensing a darkness to resist the divine light.

The peacock made way for a goddess, with a humble attitude, bowed her head and walked into the hall. Behind her were gorgeous rainbow wings, and there were seven pupils of different colors in her eye sockets.

The rainbow goddess Iris, she can turn into a rainbow, running through the sky and the earth, conveying her master's decree. Whenever she appears, it means that her master's will has come.

The rainbow goddess lowered her body and stood aside. Outside the gate, countless cuckoos flew in, and each cuckoo had a lily in its mouth.

Cuckoos are flying in the sky, and lilies are falling slowly from the sky.

In the rain of flowers, the goddess appears.

She steps on the rainbow road, steps on the lilies, with a noble and elegant temperament, and the domineering fragrance surges like a tide.

She is dressed in a gorgeous robe, wearing a crown inlaid with pomegranate seeds and peacock feathers, and her arms are as white as milk, gorgeous and shining, supreme and glorious.

Behind her, there are three golden beads floating forever, and the middle one is reflecting the phantoms of all the wives in the Olympus world, shining brightly.

Zeus' seventh wife, the legal wife, the guardian of marriage and all women, the "white-armed" queen of the gods who shares the supreme power of Olympus with Zeus, Hera!

"Is that right, Metis?" Hera walked to the side of Metis and said with a smile.

Metis was unmoved, lowered her head, and whispered: "Respected Queen of Gods, I did not perform any sisterly love. The love between Eurynome and me is real."

"Hahaha!" Hera said in a deep voice: "You usually tremble with fear when you see me, why are you calm today?"

"I just need to pretend to be afraid of you, so that you can be satisfied temporarily, and I will suffer less. Today in the royal court, I don't need to pretend anymore."

"..."

Hera's face was a little distorted, she took a deep breath, "Metis, you are really smart. The smarter you are, the more I hate you."

Then, she said viciously: "Metis, I saw it all just now. At this time, you still try to please the gods with your appearance. With your rotten face, you can still amaze the gods."

"I will cut off your nose and replace it with a wild boar's nose, dig out all your eyes and stuff them into stones, Metis, what else can you show off by then?"

"Queen of Gods, I believe you can do it. But I don't mean to show off my beauty. The gods marvel at my beauty, not my face. Sometimes, beauty is not as simple as you think."

"Okay." Hera laughed instead of getting angry. "Metis, you are so smart. See, I should sew your mouth shut with a mouse's tail."

She walked past Metis, who was kneeling on the ground, and sat on the throne.

"God King, all the gods from Mount Olympus, the Underworld, and the Ocean are here." Prometheus stood up next to him, "Except the last one, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty."

"Aphrodite is not here." The dragon looked around with the power of his eyes, thinking, "This is normal. Aphrodite has always despised the authority of Olympus. In the past, Zeus asked her to go to the Underworld to monitor the Underworld competition, but she wanted to have fun and didn't care."

"Got it." Zeus nodded, "Then the Gods' Dinner will start now."

It's called a dinner, but there are no tables or food in the hall.

The Gods' Dinner is the place where conflicts in Olympus break out and are resolved.

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, a goddess stepped out from the side.

Her white belt covered her eyes, cold and noble, and the silver sword in her hand shone.

"God King Zeus, what crime did Metis commit? Please tell me clearly."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the royal court was tense to the freezing point.

"Here it comes...!!" The dragon muttered in his heart, "Themis will definitely take action to redress Metis's injustice!"

"If Metis has indeed committed a crime, she should be judged by the law and thrown into the abyss. Why did the God King hand her over to the Queen of Gods?"

"If Metis has not committed a crime, the God King should set her free."

In the royal court, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Zeus sat on the throne without saying a word, and Hera was beside him with a gloomy face.

Boom!!!

The runes of the law of the Queen of Gods Themis shone wildly, and the huge silver scales burst out with surging divine power. The wind whistled, blowing Themis's white clothes, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

She raised the silver sword in her hand. "Am I in darkness and silence?"

"Metis has been tortured so cruelly and unfairly."

"Can the gods not see or hear?"
