[As the goddess of agriculture, Demeter holds the power that is almost completely opposite to death. She makes everything grow and fills the earth with the green of life. ]
[Therefore, she instinctively resists her daughter Persephone marrying Hades, the god of the underworld. ]
[As both gods, Hades does not have to fear Demeter, but who makes this god who symbolizes death a rare dedicated male god in Greek mythology? ]
[He loves Persephone deeply, so he will naturally consider his wife's feelings. ]
[A marriage without the support of his family is doomed to be unhappy. ]
[No matter how good Hades is to her, there will always be a scar in his heart, which will become an indelible barrier between the two. ]
[Hades does not want to see his beloved queen of the underworld suffer, so before the plan begins, he thought of you, the flawless person who is best at creating miracles. ]
[Hades wants you to change Demeter's mind and let her support his marriage with Persephone. ]
[To put it bluntly, he just wants you to deal with his mother-in-law!]
["You are really talking to yourself."]
[At this point, you feel angry.]
[It is true that the gods love humans, but they are gods after all, not humans!]
[What they love is only the human group, not individuals.]
[You will never believe that Hades does not know what the consequences of abducting Persephone will be.]
[He chose to do it even though he knew what disaster would happen if he angered the goddess of agriculture, Demeter!]
[He did not care about the lives of the insignificant people who died in the disaster.]
[For the gods, what are tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of people?]
[As long as human civilization is not destroyed, the population can be restored sooner or later and the heyday can be restored.]
[This is also why, after Demeter learned that it was Hades who abducted Persephone, her first thought was to let everything wither and let death spread all over the earth. ]
[She wanted to use a large number of abnormal deaths to threaten Hades, who controls death, and force him to return Persephone to her!]
["When the gods fight, mortals suffer."]
["Why do you want to involve innocent people in your own affairs?!"]
[As a member of the human race, you are angry at the gods' recklessness. ]
[25 Especially when the disaster really comes, your anger is beyond words!]
[Yes. ]
[After confirming that Orpheus has conveyed his request to you, Hades immediately captured Persephone according to the plan. ]
[The goddess of agriculture, who lost her daughter, has no intention of working, causing all things to stop growing. ]
[Even the Invisible Island was implicated. ]
[The fruit trees cannot bloom or bear fruit, and the ears of wheat in the fields no longer grow, let alone mature?]
[This is a disaster that has swept everyone!]
[In just one month, it has caused unimaginable losses!]
[The kingdom is in turmoil, and the social order of mankind begins to collapse. ]
[Many kings spread the news that they would give all their wealth to anyone who could solve this disaster. ]
[But..
[No one could solve it. ]
[Even great heroes with demigod blood could only sigh in despair. ]
[Because this disaster involved several main gods. ]
[There was even the shadow of the God King. ]
[How could mortals resist the gods? ]
[Humans relied on the gods to grow from weak to strong, and have formed a dependence. ]
[When the gods performed their duties, the world was naturally prosperous. Even if you just found a place to reclaim an acre of wasteland and sow seeds in the spring, it would be enough to feed ten families. ]
[But once the gods give up their responsibilities, humans who rely on them will suffer immeasurable damage!]
[God's mercy is a gift, but also the source of disaster!]
[Witnessing this tragic human world with starving people everywhere, your understanding of the Age of Gods becomes more profound.]
[You also understand why Gilgamesh, who was born as a demigod, spent his whole life fighting against the gods and wanted to drive them all away.]
[Look at the corpses scattered across the continent!]
[Look at the withered and dead trees, flowers and plants!]
[Look at the world filled with death!]
[They cry silently, telling the reason!]
[Humans, must drive away the gods!]
[Humans.]
[No need for gods!]
A seed quietly took root and sprouted in Alex heart.
He was extremely angry about the current situation.
So, the boy packed his bags alone and chose a late night to secretly leave.
He would not do as Hades asked and hold a so-called "wedding that satisfies everyone"
What Alex has to do is to resist!
Let these b*****d gods know that humans are not children who can be manipulated by them!
This time, it is destined to be an extremely dangerous journey.
Mortals dare to confront gods?
In this age of gods, it is almost equivalent to seeking death!
Even the most powerful hero Hercules, his first half of his life, has been controlled by gods and has no power to fight back.
Just like a toy.
For the sake of his companions' lives, Alex really doesn't want to take them with him.
"Goodbye, I hope we will meet again.
After taking a last look at the temple behind him, Alex resolutely embarked on this road to death.
The moonlight shone on him, and the boy held a flaming spear burning with anger in his hand.
The lantern in his other hand pointed the right way.
He led him to the temple of the goddess of agriculture, Del.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
He wanted to push Alex back to the invisible island.
Someone seemed to be whispering in his ear.
"Don't go any further, Zoe, you are heading for destruction!"
Alex said nothing, gritted his teeth and resisted the wind, and continued to move forward!
Later, the wind dissipated.
A pleasant but sad piano sound was heard.
Alex knew that there was a god waiting for him ahead.
--He was an extremely handsome god.
He held a harp and played a sad song.
"Your Majesty Apollo, are you here to stop me too?"
Although he still used the honorific title, the boy's tone lost its The respect of the past.
"Ah——"
The sound of the piano faded away, and Apollo looked at the handsome boy in front of him with complicated eyes. He looked more like the son of God than a mortal.
Apollo admired Alex from the beginning, otherwise, he would not have lent him the Sun Soldier.
But this time was different.
What Alex wanted to do was to challenge the authority of the gods.
No matter how much Apollo admired Alex, he could only stand by and watch without helping either side.
The butt determines the head.
Don't forget, no matter how kind Apollo behaves, he is still a god after all, and the most senior god.
Even if he thinks Hades and Demeter have gone too far this time, he still can't change the fact that he is also a god.
All Apollo can do is to dissuade.
Dissuade the person he admires most from going to die.
"Zoe, actually I have always wanted to accompany you. I believe that your singing is the most beautiful thing in the world. If possible, can you stay here with me for a few days?"
While plucking the strings of his harp, Apollo said casually: "Gods will naturally solve the problems of the gods. This has nothing to do with you, right?"
"As for Orpheus, you don't have to worry. He is my son, and I will naturally find a way to make him get what he wants.
"FFLX...."
"Stay, it will only take a few days. "Yes, it only takes a few days! Once Hades has made it, no matter how reluctant Demeter is, won't she have to accept this son-in-law? As long as Alex pretends not to see it, this disaster will soon be over.
Even the merciful gods will inevitably feel pity after witnessing so many people die.
In the next few decades, human life may be better.
The price is only the people who die now.
Who cares about the dead? "I care!"
In front of the silent gods, the boy repeated again: "I care!" "I care about everyone who died, I care about this withered land, I care about their silent cries!"
I care! That's enough! Alex has never been so determined, even if he may have to sacrifice himself, he is not afraid! Huxia people have always been like this.
Possess a very strong self Sacrifice your will.
That is --
Martyrdom!
For the sake of your own path, why fear death!?
Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather.
Alex chose the path he thought was right, and he was willing to sacrifice everything for it!
Now you will die, and you will also die if you resist.
God of Death...
Is it possible?!
[Apollo did not stop you again, because he knew that even gods could not stop a hero who had already determined to die. ]
[If this heart does not change, even gods cannot stop it! ]
[In the silent night, the silent god silently left two pieces of armor. ]
[The bow without strings, which was as bright as a golden version, and the silver-white longbow complemented each other. ]
[You reach out and touch them, and you can feel the joy from them. ]
[Even if you are about to use them to fight against the gods. ]
["Thank you for your help, Your Majesty Apollo, and Your Majesty Artemis. "]
[Let's put it one way or another. The reckless behavior of your angry gods does not affect your gratitude to these two gods.]
[At least, they chose to help you at this moment instead of targeting you, didn't they?]
[Putting away the two pieces of armor, you move forward again.]
[This time, it's an unexpected person.]
[——Ares, the god of war.]
[The strong man sat on a stone by the road with a dogtail grass in his mouth. He was not wearing armor and looked like a village thug.]
[Seeing you coming, he spit out the dogtail grass in his mouth and showed a somewhat cruel smile on his face.]
[Seems to be very satisfied with what you are about to do.]
["Boy, what's that look in your eyes?"]
[Noticing your surprised look, Ares moved closer, his majestic body, with an extremely strong sense of oppression.]
[He stared and said: "I am the god of war, so I am naturally happy about the upcoming war! In this world, is there any war more interesting than the war between gods?"]
["You can use my armor as you like. This time, we are in the same group!"]
["And after you die, I can get my armor back. How do you say that? Yes! This is a double happiness!"]
[After a pause, Ares looked at you with some disdain and shook his head and said, "You are just too weak. It's like committing suicide to fight like this."]
[After thinking for a while, Ares decided to give you the blessing of war!]
[This blessing has enhanced your physical fitness. Although it is not as good as a demigod, it is not weak among the Greek heroes. ]
[At least your blood is much thicker, and you are not as dead as before with a slightly stronger wind. ]
[After doing all this, Ares nodded with satisfaction and let you go. ]
[So, you continued to move forward. ]
[Met the third god. ]
A hut suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, which looked strange. Alex could guess with his toes that this must be the work of God.
He walked in without fear.
As expected, Hestia was cooking.
The goddess squatted in front of the earthen stove like a peasant woman in the countryside, adding firewood skillfully.
Wheat porridge was cooking inside, emitting a sweet aroma.
Seeing Alex walk in, Hestia raised her head and smiled at the boy, like a mother doting on her child, pointing to the simple table and chairs beside her and said: "You must be hungry after walking so far? Wait a little longer and the wheat porridge will be ready...
Do you want to drink? I heard that heroes will drink a little before doing great things."
"No, I can't drink."
This time, Alex frankly admitted the fact that he couldn't drink.
"Forget it then."
Hestia's eyebrows curved, and she didn't say anything else.
Alex sat on the chair, waiting for the wheat porridge.
To be honest, he was a little hungry.
Especially after receiving the blessing of war, this feeling of hunger became stronger.
Alex believed that this was a normal phenomenon after the physical fitness was improved.
When the body is strong, the appetite will naturally become bigger.
How can the body be satisfied if he doesn't eat more?
Therefore, he ate all the wheat porridge cooked by Hestia.
Hestia smiled and watched Alex gently.
From time to time, she would help him wipe his mouth, just like a mother taking care of her own children.
Gentle and sincere.
Radiating the glory of a mother.
"Aren't you going to stop me?"
Putting down the bowl, Alex couldn't help but asked this question.
"But why should I stop you?"
Hestia skillfully cleaned up the dishes and said without looking back: "Where there is a home, there is a hearth. I watch over every family on this land and share their joy of reunion."
"I like humans. In my opinion, everyone is like my child...including you, little Zoe."
If you like humans, why don't you stop Demeter and Hades?
Alex wanted to ask, but he didn't have time to say it.
The main reason was that he felt that this was too offensive to Hestia.
This goddess of the hearth has no bad reputation in mythology. Like Prometheus, the fire thief, she is a true good god and a benevolent god.
Even if Alex view of the gods has changed at this moment, he will not really kill all the gods with one stick.
There are still evil people among humans who are worse than beasts, and there are certainly good people among gods who are just, law-abiding, compassionate, gentle, and conscientious.
How can we generalize?
Only children will generalize individual stereotypes to the group.
Although the existence of gods is indeed an obstacle for humans.
But this is another matter.
We cannot confuse concepts and generalize.
