(alright!)
Surprisingly, the meeting between Kai and Aphrodite went smoothly as expected. The goddess did not make any requests and readily agreed to Kai's request.
This made Kai stunned for a while. Aphrodite changed her nature? No, it should be said that the gods of the Olympus pantheon have changed their nature?
You know, these guys are very narrow-minded. Once provoked, they will definitely retaliate with the cruelest means, and there are basically no exceptions.
For example, among the gods of Olympus, Apollo, who has the brightest image, also has a stingy temper.
Apollo, the sun god, is the son of the god king Zeus and the most dazzling male god on Mount Olympus. He is handsome, has a good figure, and is talented. He is proficient in prophecy, music, medicine, archery, etc. Countless fans are attracted by his robe. Once, he fell in love with a priestess in his temple - the beautiful Trojan princess Cassandra. In order to win the heart of the beautiful woman, Apollo gave Cassandra the power of prophecy.
Who would have thought that this time Apollo would encounter a failure in love. Cassandra still could not accept Apollo's love and rejected the all-conquering sun god. Apollo was so angry that he cursed Cassandra. Although she could predict the future, no one around her would believe what she said. From then on, Cassandra was regarded as a madwoman by her relatives, because every time she predicted the coming disaster, she was considered to be insane. Cassandra could only watch the tragedy unfold in front of her eyes in pain. occur.
When the Greeks besieged Troy, Cassandra warned people that Troy would soon fall, but no one wanted to believe her prediction. She was helpless and eventually became a prisoner of war, and soon died. Cassandra's tragedy stems from the revenge of the sun god Apollo - destroy what you can't get. Rather than being hurt by rejection, Apollo believed that his dignity should not be offended. His "love" for Cassandra contained the meaning of charity, and was the favor of a superior to a subordinate, so he was It was the other party's "ignorant" rejection that made him so angry that he took severe revenge measures. From the very beginning, the balance of love was destined to tilt in one direction, and the unequal status determined that the unlucky one was only the weak Cassandra.
You must know that this is Apollo, the Apollo who symbolizes light.
He is considered the god with the most positive personality among the gods. Even if he looks like a bird, you can't expect other gods.
The gods of Olympus are mainly people-friendly. They have all the problems that mortals have, and they have them doubled. This has always proved Kai's theory that the so-called gods are nothing special, they are just a group of people who have gained great power!
They are no better than so-called mortals.
The most obvious example is... there is no reproductive isolation between gods and humans at all!
This has been true from ancient times to the present, from west to east.
Without reproductive isolation, how can you say they are two species? (In superhero comics, there are often hybrid offspring between aliens and humans... Ever since I took junior high school biology class, I have always suspected... These guys who draw comics don't know about reproductive isolation. Planting things? What the hell, alien creatures and It is absolutely impossible for earthly creatures to have descendants. The evolutionary tree is so different! They are not the same species at the root. How do they combine? In terms of probability, the success rate of humans and pigs having children is higher than that of humans. It’s much better to have children with aliens!)
Gods are not that noble, and are even... more terrifying than mortals.
Gods are not perfect either, they are lustful, vengeful, weak...
Therefore, Aphrodite's approach made Kai very uncomfortable. He was ready to lose his waist, but others were asked for everything.
Here we have to mention Kai’s prejudice against Aphrodite.
Aphrodite is a perfect woman, her beauty is like the shining light of day, her pink cheeks are like peach blossoms, her long golden curly hair is shining, and her eyes seem to contain blue sea water. Contrary to the three chaste goddesses, Aphrodite firmly believes in the motto "I am in charge of my body" and has more or less relationship with the Olympian gods. Nietzsche said: Will is the essence of life. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, representing the aesthetic value of the Greek era. Underneath her charming appearance, Aphrodite presents a complex personality because of love and beauty. Among the gods, she has the power to drive love, but she is as weak as a girl and has no determination to resist. But this is human nature. Nietzsche expected the strong will to replace the status of "God" with passion, desire, wildness, activity and fighting. Aphrodite only achieved the former, but not the latter. She wanted to vent herself Desire, wanting to fight but afraid of fighting.
At the same time, she is not as superficial as she thought.
Although she is not single-minded, she is serious about her feelings. She is sincere to every lover she has... Well, typical scumbag quotes, but in reality scumbags may say it casually, but Afo But Rodite is not. She is a goddess who represents love. Love is uncontrollable. You can't control who you fall in love with. This is why Aphrodite keeps falling in love with other people. At the same time, love is fierce and desperate.
So even after Aphrodite was caught by Hephaestus with a golden net, she was ashamed in front of the gods, but she did not restrain herself because of the "golden net" incident. Soon she cheated on Poseidon, the god of the sea, Hermes, the god of commerce, Adonis, the handsome male god, and Anchises, a mortal, etc. Moreover, Aphrodite was not playing a one-night stand or a fleeting love affair. She was serious because she gave birth to children for the above men and left ironclad evidence.
Therefore, love summarized from Aphrodite's perspective is still two words: deception and infidelity.
Love comes quickly and goes fast!
In Aphrodite's view, love is like this, there are good and bad. Nothing is unchanging, and love will always be unpredictable!
In Kai's view, Aphrodite is a goddess of sexual desire who wants to go to bed when she sees a man, but in fact, for Aphrodite, sexual desire is never everything, it is just a means, and love is what she really enjoys.
No one can catch love. When it is time to come, it will come. When it is time to leave, it will leave without hesitation.
This is Aphrodite.
Aphrodite will not simply go to bed with Kai. That does not conform to Aphrodite's aesthetics.
She has a more perfect plan.
"Okay, then how do we enter the City of Almighty?"
Kai didn't know what Aphrodite was doing, but now he couldn't care about it. As long as the kidneys were saved, the dragon bone extract was so precious, so it was better not to waste it on growing kidneys. The same is true for the golden apple, which is very precious.
Hera is in charge of the golden apple, but the output of this thing is very low.
Hera can't just give it to Kai to eat.
That thing is basically counted.
Even Hera can't embezzle other people's shares without any benefit.
This is also one of the reasons why Hera can have such a unique status, in charge of the share of the golden apple. But if she cancels other people's shares at will, she can't convince the public.
Aphrodite was particularly pleased with Kai's vaguely uneasy look. Of course, she wanted to spend a good night with Kai, but casually going to bed was not in line with her aesthetics. Although she was the patron saint of prostitutes, it did not mean that she herself was a prostitute.
She had her own persistence.
"My son, Eros, he is in the City of Almighty."
Eros, a god with a very vague position in mythology. He is the god of love.
At the same time, the origin of his name is also very old. He has the same name as the oldest god in the Olympian pantheon.
Like all pantheons, the Olympian pantheon also has its own creation myth.
These gods are very obsessed with this. Although everyone knows that this thing is fake, each pantheon still believes in it and does not know what is wrong.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the universe, there was only Chaos, the god of chaos. He was a boundless space with nothing. Chaos itself has the ability to reproduce life and gave birth to Gaia, the mother of the earth, Tartarus, the god of the abyss of hell, Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of night, and the world began.
The world was originally the vast and unfathomable Chaos, the god of chaos, a tangible space of primordial trance, and later contained everything that constituted the universe. After Chaos, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, appeared, the eternal and unshakable supporter; and Eros, the omnipotent creator, the driving force of development and evolution, who glued all elements together, so he became the origin of the world of life.
Eros is the original god of love, representing love, fertility and sexual desire. It was he who gave birth to the fertility and love of the gods, and he is the embodiment of all love.
He represents the most primitive impulse, because with him, the gods will have the impulse to reproduce, so all things in the world can be born.
And Aphrodite gave this name to her child, obviously to pay tribute to this original creator god.
Eros is the child of Aphrodite and Ares.
He is also Aphrodite's favorite child. The Pisces in the constellation mythology refers to the two of them. Legend has it that at a banquet of the gods, the monster king Typhon suddenly appeared, and scared the gods to flee everywhere. At this time, Aphrodite found that her son Eros was missing. She nervously looked for him everywhere, and later found Eros, who was trembling with fear, under the piano. In order to prevent Eros from being separated from her again, Aphrodite tied the feet of the two people together with a rope, and then transformed them into two fish and jumped into the Nile River to escape. In order to commemorate this event, Zeus raised the two fish to the sky in this way, with their tails connected and never separated, and turned them into Pisces. In addition to representing love and beauty, it also symbolizes the combination of spirit and body.
Of course, when it comes to this, many people may still be a little confused. Who the hell is this?
But if you say his other name, I believe many people will suddenly realize it.
He is Cupid!
Cupid is his Roman name. Of course, the Olympian gods don't care much about their Roman names, and they don't even know that they have this name. After all, Roman mythology appeared long after they left the earth.
But for the earthlings, Cupid is very famous.
He is the little kid holding a bow and arrow. Whenever you see this image, it is basically him.
Eros has a pair of wings on his back that can fly freely, and he has a homemade bow, love arrows, and breakup arrows. Shooting a love arrow can make the person being shot fall in love with something designated by Eros, and shooting a breakup arrow can make the person being shot give up something designated by Eros. Eros has the ability to fly and determine the preferences of others.
Eros created the protection of love, and the protection of love can maintain the correct conduct of love. Therefore Eros is the god of love, the personification of love and passion.
Eros is very popular among the gods, because he itself represents beauty, and no one will reject this. At the same time, his personality is very nice, he likes to help others, and there are no bad rumors about him.
After the establishment of the Pantheon, this bare-butt kid became even more popular. He was even more popular than Hermes. (Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, a divine messenger, mainly serves Zeus, the son of Zeus and Maia. God of commercial activities, markets, tourism, transportation, travelers and thieves, extradition to the underworld The person moves quickly and gracefully, wearing winged sandals and a low crown with wings on his head. Hat, holding a golden wand with twin snakes in his hand. He is very funny and witty, so he is very popular. Except for Ares, the god of war, basically no god particularly hates him, and even Hera is kind to him... ...Of course this doesn't change the fact that Hera hates his mother)
So if you want to sneak into the Pantheon, you can definitely find a kid.
Although this little guy is more than 10,000 years old, he still wanders around like a little kid every day. No one is wary of a child, so Cupid has always been the smuggler of the Pantheon... That's right. , Cupid, the God of Love, engages in smuggling...isn’t it magical?
Anyway, Kai was stunned after hearing this.
"Are you sure?" Kai has never dealt with Eros, so he really doesn't know what he is like.
"Of course!" Aphrodite said affirmatively: "But you must bring me with you, otherwise Eros will not trust you. You know, in this business, the most important thing is trust. There is no greater trust. Profit can only be a curse.”
Kai grinned, not knowing how to evaluate it.
No wonder Odin despises the Pantheon gang. Look at what nonsense this is. Cupid, the good god of love, doesn't want to be the moon elder, but he actually engages in smuggling.
"By the way, why is there smuggling in the Almighty City?"
Kai endured it for a while, but he couldn't bear it anymore.
Aphrodite glanced at Kai strangely: "Please, that is the Almighty City, the greatest city in the universe, where everything is filled with the radiance of divinity, and countless believers are eager for the holy objects of the Pantheon. At the same time, Countless believers also hope that they can enter the Pantheon and receive the radiance of the gods, but only a handful of believers are qualified to go to the Pantheon every year. If there is demand, there will be a market!"
Damn... is this okay?
