Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Before the showdown

Apollo smiled and stood in the doorway, his golden eyes glittering.

Hecate, some blushing shrink behind him, slender palms tightly clasped his ten fingers.

Looking at her daughter, Asteria realized something and gave Apollo a stern look.

At that moment, she said, “When we learned that Perseus and Cleos were free, Astraeus and the others also came to the underworld.”

“Oh, is sister Astraea here?” Hecate asked from behind.

“Yes, just her and her father,” Asteria said, “Perseus and the others have been trapped in the Abyss for too long and need to recuperate, so they should not see too many people for the time being.

She once again cut Apollo with an unkind look.

Latter calmly grasped Hecate’s hand, not caring about her gaze.

This made Asteria a little demoralized.

Looking at her mother, Hecate laughed and asked, “What about uncle Pallas?”

Asteria shook her head and said, “I don’t know what Pallas is doing, but his daughter Nike is coming over.”

As the three of them spoke, several divine auras came from outside.

At a distance, Apollo looked over and first saw the majestic face of Astraeus, and next to him was Astraea, the Goddess of stars.

On the other side, there was a tall, fair-haired girl with white wings. She was radiant with glory. She was the wisdom’s best friend, the Goddess of victory, Nike.

Looking at the distant sky, Apollo showed a bright smile.

Seeing him from afar, Astraea’s bright eyes flooded with excitement but still maintained the reserve of a goddess and followed her father calmly.

“Long time no see, Lord of stars,” Asteria said to Astraea.

Apollo led Hecate to Astraea.

The latter looked at the two of them and pursed her lips.

Hecate hurriedly took her hand and said worriedly, “Sister Astraea, you don’t mind our business very much, do you?”

Astraea rubbed her brown hair with her other hand. “I only met him later. I knew you guys were fine before that. You’re the one who doesn’t care about me.”

Hecate laughed at that and put her hand close to her own and Apollo’s.

“We are family.” She said softly.

At this moment, a low grunt came from a distance. “What a stupid woman. Only an independent and self-reliant virgin goddess can be a true expert. You goddesses who have been subdued by prince charming will never be able to achieve greatness.”

The glorious Goddess of victory, Nike, lifted her chin proudly.

Apollo looked at her quietly, and the winged blonde, who was a little flustered, gathered her wings behind her.

Astraea and Hecate chuckled, took Apollo’s left and right arm, and looked at her sweetly.

“Sister Nike, we know that you admire Athena the most, and she is indeed a good and powerful goddess, but I believe that one day, she will be our sister too.”

Nike cried out as if her wings had been seized: “Nonsense! The goddess Athena is not like you vulgar people.”

Astraea looked up and down at her. “You can bet your life that one day you and Athena will be sisters.”

“Well, that’s it,” Hecate nodded.

Her cheeks flushed, but she maintained her triumphant glow. She pouted and said to Apollo, “Athena has something to tell you to come over.”

Apollo took the soft hands of the two goddesses and said quietly, “Let’s talk here.”

Nike looked at Astraea and Hecate again and said angrily, “Athena told me to tell you to be very careful these days. The King of God, King of Sea, and the keeper may be working together against you.”

Upon hearing the news, Astraea and Hecate’s cheeks hardened, and they looked worriedly at Apollo in the middle.

Apollo, however, was calm and said lightly: “It seems they have finally made up their minds and agreed.”

Seeing that he did not react much, Nike some depressed and then said: “This news is from Olympus and the ocean recently some situation, deduced.”

“Amphitrite goddess also found out that the Sea Emperor has recently visited the Earth Mother several times, so the target of you may not only be the three of them but also may include the Earth Mother Gaea.”

“The Earth Mother!” Astraea and Hecate’s mouths opened, holding Apollo’s hand could not help but tighten a few points.

If only the King of God, King of Sea, and King of Underworld these three, although they worry about Apollo, but not particularly afraid.

But Gaea, the Earth Mother, was the second most feared of the five Primordial Gods, second only to the legendary and most mysterious god of Chaos.

Since the three generations of the divine court, no matter which King of God came to power, there was her influence behind the scenes.

In addition to some gods in underworld, the current gods were almost all her offspring.

The entire divine race was, in the end, based on her as the source.

And now this grandmother of the gods, the most senior of the Main Gods, was also going to target their loved ones?

“It’s not surprising that she’s involved, but she shouldn’t do it herself.” Apollo laughed quietly.

He had actually been paying attention to this powerful Primordial God, Gaea.

According to some signs, she was working on a huge plan, and it seemed to have reached a critical point where she simply could not take action personally.

Giving Hecate and Astraea a reassuring look, he said, “Is that all the Goddess of wisdom said?”

With a slight hesitation on her face, she leaned over to Apollo and whispered:

“Athena also told me to tell you that it’s best to stay with the night Goddess. The King of God won’t be jumping for long because…”

“Fate is about to awaken!”

“Fate!” Apollo chanted this word; a smile appeared in his eyes.

The truth about the so-called ‘fate’, he had long guessed, but how did Athena know the information about this matter?

“It seems that this Goddess of wisdom, there are still secrets unknown to people.”

Clinging to Astraea and Hecate, Apollo said to Nike, “Go back and tell the Goddess of wisdom that I understand all this and thank her for reminding me.”

Nike didn’t want to say anything more and went to Astraeus and Astraea.

‘The Lord of stars swept Apollo’s place and had a bit of a toothache: “Astraea, you just get along with Apollo and Hecate while we go see the Father God and my brother.”

Her father’s words made Astraea blush and lay her head in Apollo’s arms.

It was Hecate who watched them leave and then looked at Apollo’s handsome cheeks with some concern: “Was it okay?

“It really does not matter; the King of Gods is very powerful and cruel, or as the goddess Athena said, first stay here in the goddess Nyx and wait for them to suffer under the fate.”

Astraea’s eyes were equally troubled, and she clung to the blond boy’s shoulder as if afraid that if she let him go, she would lose him forever.

Apollo’s hands gently rubbed their heads, smiling brightly: “I can have you two as companions, even if I stay here for thousands of years, then I am also willing.”

“But do you think that I am the one who will put my hope on the nebulous fate?” Apollo stroked their heads.

The two beautiful goddesses shook their heads at the same time and said, “You are the brightest star of Olympus, the sun whose light shone in the universe, and your life has never had such words as retreat and fear.”

“Yes, there may be something in this world that can make me retreat, but it will never be Zeus, Hades, and the others, nor will it be the Earth Mother!” Apollo’s golden eyes flashed with pride and confidence, profoundly gazing into the far sky.

“You can rest assured, I have fought them all before, and they have never won against me.”

“And this time, I will make them a complete loser!”

Astraea and Hecate looked at the beautiful, holy boy in the golden light, and there was love on their faces.

It was such greatness that they could not control their hearts and held everything on him.

He was the only sun of their lives.

“We are waiting for you to come back.”

The three embraced tightly together.

……

After a few more days of lingering, under the watchful eyes of the two beautiful goddesses, Apollo set out on the road to leave the underworld.

Nyx’s dark eyes brightened as he watched his retreating figure under cover of darkness.

Young god, I wonder how many surprises you will bring me this time. Don’t let me save you in the end.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Apollo steeply looked at the quiet night sky. The corners of his mouth held a smile.

Slowly out of the underworld, golden eyes sweeping the surrounding desolation, he indifferently drank: “Zeus, this is the third or fourth time we fought? The first few times, I have not been able to distinguish between victory and defeat. This time, let you know what defeat is.”

As his words fell, the figures of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades suddenly appeared from three different angles, gathered around.

Holding the lightning spear in his hand, Zeus’ face was filled with coldness: “Apollo, this will be the time of your complete death; no one in this world can save you.”

The King of Gods roared; the three kings at the same time diffused a monstrous killing intent, unparalleled power, cold locked in the middle of the golden figure.
