Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Foppers Apollo

In the bright temple, looking at the sacred statue in front of her, the young girl frowned slightly: “Just now, that is the God of light?”

Although it was just a dream, everything that happened was so real that the devout maiden had no doubts.

That was the great God of light who heard her call and gave her the gift of god.

“I will give birth to a child of light in virginity?”

The maiden’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she stroked her belly, half in panic and half in joy.

She could feel that there did seem to be a warm breath hovering inside there.

“Princess!”

The door of the temple was opened and several servants dressed as maids walked in.

The young maiden hurriedly turned her head to hide the blush on her face.

Looking at her beautiful back, the maids said: “Princess, we know your faith in the great God of light is devout, but please pay attention to the passage of time. Please follow us back to the palace, your father and elder brother are waiting for you.”

The young maiden had to nod her head, looked reluctantly at the handsome statue of light above for a moment, got up, and walked out.

There were many people outside the temple, and the young maiden was seen walking lightly from afar.

She looked less than twenty years old, and her body had just developed to maturity, a pure white court dress under the curves of the outline of the seductive youthful atmosphere, snow-white arms, and calves crystal as glass.

And the graceful and beautiful face, but also rosy and lovely, with a born noble and dignified, but also full of maidens lively and elegant, the corners of the mouth with a decent smile, so that people knew that this was a profoundly educated noble maiden.

Under the brilliant sunlight, the maiden’s bright jewel-like eyes, full of kindness, swept past the pedestrians, gently walked down the road, and got into a lovely and luxurious carriage.

“My goodness, is this Princess Creusa?” The people on the roadside, both men and women, looked at the graceful figure in the carriage with fascination, feeling that they were caught in a dream.

After a long time, they came back to their senses, gazing at each other in unbridled admiration.

“It deserves to be the most radiant gem of our Athens, inheriting the nobility and purity of goddess Athena, whose every smile can make me willingly give my life for her.”

“I think even among the goddesses on Olympus. There are few who can compare to our noble princess in terms of beauty.”

“That’s for sure; otherwise, why would the King of Gods always prefer to come to the mortal world to hunt for joy instead of picking the goddesses of Olympus?”

The people kept talking, and suddenly someone said: “Do you think Princess Creusa, which city-state prince, will finally be married?”

“This… I think no mortal is worthy of our princess. Perhaps she will be seen by the gods in the sky.”

“No, even if the gods, I do not think there are a few worthy of Princess Creusa, perhaps only the vice ruler of that divine court, the brightest star of Olympus, the great God of light, has such qualifications.”

“I think you’re right, Princess Creusa is also the most devout light believer if she can be favored by the great God of light, and it’s a great match.”

“Yes, if other gods marry our princess, even if they are gods, I don’t think they are suitable because they are also all a group of coarse and foolish barbarians, only the great God of light has such a temperament. He is the truly holy one, the great one, the King of Gods!”

As they spoke, the people present all raised their right fists one by one and tapped their brows.

The city-state of Athens was the protectorate of Athena, the Goddess of wisdom, and had always been the most faithful to the Goddess of wisdom.

But since the belief in the God of light appeared, many city-states had converted to the light. Athens was very resistant at first because they believed in the Goddess of wisdom the most pious.

I didn’t know when, but Athens had been circulating a saying.

Although the wife of the God of light was the most beautiful, Aphrodite, the Goddess of wisdom, was his most intimate companion.

So belief in light was also belief in wisdom. Light and wisdom were together.

Thus the majority of the inhabitants of Athens became double believers in light and wisdom.

Believing in both wisdom and light.

Praising the light, the people looked at the carriage that was already far away and continued to discuss: “Although only the great light can indeed be seen, it is also true that only the great light can be seen.”

“Although only the great God of light is indeed worthy of our princess, the God of light, unlike the other gods, never blesses mortals. Even the goddess Athena does not seem to be with him now, so I think our princess is still not qualified.”

“Remember that priestess of Delphi? She just couldn’t get the love of the light and finally chose to serve the light for life with her virginity.”

“I think if there is no accident, our princess is afraid that there is only such a fate. The God of light is too sacred and great, and it is not within reach of mortals.”

These words made the crowd sigh tersely.

“Yes, that the incarnation of light, the most compassionate Lord, even a noble existence like the goddess Athena, cannot fully reach a mortal princess, even how beautiful and noble, the gap between the two is hopeless.”

“Could it be that our noble princess, in the end, still has to be cheap to some other god? No, I don’t want to hear any more news about the appearance of a new heir to the King of Gods.”

The people of Athens yelled.

Among the much news about the gods over the years, the most were that the King of Gods, who ruled the thunder, had given birth to so-and-so heroes with so-and-so princess again, at regular intervals.

Everyone was tired of hearing about it.

Of course, Creusa, who got into the carriage and returned to the palace, did not know about the discussions of the Athenian people.

On the way, her beautiful face was filled with expectation and nervousness, and she kept rubbing her belly with her slender hands.

When she returned to the palace, she was called by her father, Erechtheus, who greeted her with concern.

The King of Athens was descended from Hephaestus, one of the most remarkable workmen of the gods. His mother was also a goddess, the Goddess of water.

He was one of the most famous heroes of many Greek city-states, cultivated to the stage of golden fighting at an early age, and with the demigod bloodline, was strong enough to match the gods.

He felt something was wrong, his daughter’s heartbeat and facial expression were not quite normal, but in the end, he could not see what had happened.

He only thought it was his illusion and did not care much.

After returning to the palace, Creusa gradually went deeper and deeper into simplicity.

Erechtheus felt that something was wrong.

Until that day, his son, Pertus, told him, “Father, my poor sister, didn’t know that she had been deceived by that bastard, and now she is pregnant.”

The king was furious and went to his daughter’s room.

He saw his beautiful and quiet daughter with her belly slightly raised and the breath of life pulsating inside.

“Creusa, my daughter tells me who did it, and I will hang him on the top of the city and bask in the sun’s rays!” roared Erechtheus.

Petrified, the girl knelt before her father: “My loving father, king of all the children of Athens, your daughter will not deceive you. This child was given to me by the great Apollo, the son of light.”

“Damn!” The king was furious and pointed to his daughter in pain, “Athens is the sanctuary of the holy Goddess of wisdom. Our most noble qualities are purity and honesty. You have conceived a child out of wedlock. You have blasphemed the God of light. You have deceived your father. You have gone against Athena’s teachings!”

The eyes of Erechtheus almost burst into flames as he grabbed his daughter on the ground, a look of confusion in his eyes.

With his fighting energy cultivation that was enough to match the gods, he could naturally feel that his beautiful daughter was still as pure and noble.

But where did the breath of life in her belly come from?

With doubts and anger, the King of Athens ordered: “Lock her up in the courtyard deep inside the palace and forbid anyone to see her!”

And so, the noble and pure Princess of Athens, dishonored with her defiled name, shut her father away in the depths of the palace.

The great change and difference, this born noble maiden, but there was no aggression and grievance in her heart.

Just stay quietly in the cold house, always with a smile on her face, stroking her growing belly, full of love and piety.

“O great God of light, I will use the purest body to bring the world your son, the divine light all over the sky under every piece of land!”

In the dark room, the beautiful maiden prayed fervently.

And on Mount Olympus, the golden figure shrouded in light abruptly opened the brilliant eyes.

Looking down on the vast land, the corners of his mouth curled into a light smile.

“My son, have you thought of your name?”

In the empty nothingness, a baby bathed in golden light suddenly appeared and said in a tender voice: “My name is Fopper!”

“The name of the ultimate god of the trinity, Fopper Apollo, is a right name.”

In the brilliant light, the golden figure’s divine aura grew stronger and stronger around him.
