Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Vice ruler of the divine court

“Future with me …”

Athena was stunned, staring at the dazzling golden-haired figure in front of her.

Somehow, she felt these seemingly absurd words were so full of truth.

Those golden eyes were so profound.

As vast as a river of stars, as vast as the sky.

Unknowingly, have you grown to this point?

That’s right; only such unpredictability is the true king.

A god that can be casually anticipated and mastered by others, which is qualified to sit high at the top of the wide sky and rule over all the spirits of the universe.

Although a little lost, Athena’s heart was more expected.

Blinking her bright eyes, she smiled lightly and came closer to the golden eyes.

“Since everything is known to you, then you quickly reply, cannot let Poseidon, Hades, two guys steal the first, Zeus there? I’m afraid there will soon be a change.”

Apollo faintly moved away from the body and asked: “You still first Zeus that secret to say, I will consider.”

“In fact, it is not a big secret, Zeus in a long time ago seems to have predicted that there would be a predestined battle with Typhon, but it seems that a battle with you to make this early.”

“And after the fall of Olympus, most of the Main Gods have escaped gathering together; only one person is missing. One of Zeus’ most trusted beloved.” Athena’s eyes were dark.

Apollo looked outside and whispered: “Hermes.”

“Yes, that’s him.” Athena nodded.

“Hermes is the messenger of the Gods, with space attribute ‘travel’ authority, on speed is the first among the gods, any gods were killed and trapped are possible, only he is the most unlikely did not escape.”

“Why didn’t he come over to be with the gods? Because he has a more important task, of course.”

“The task he has to do is related to the predestined battle between Zeus and Typhon, related to fate. Although I don’t know the specifics, I suspect it may be due to Zeus’ promotion to the original domain.”

“The best way to stop this is to defeat Typhon before Zeus does.”

Athena spoke in a thin voice.

After hearing her words, Apollo’s mouth held a smile at the corner.

“I probably understand the situation, but if you want me to take action, you’d better let Hera come to see me personally.”

Athena walked out.

“Apollo, are you going to help them?” Artemis looked at her brother with worried eyes.

“Typhon is very powerful; even here, I can feel the horrible fury when he attacked Olympus. What if you get hurt fighting him?” Artemis grabbed Apollo’s hand.

“Sister, you do not have to worry. I will not do things that are not sure.” Apollo smiled.

……

In the dark cave, looking at the vicious three-headed giant dog outside, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zeus’ mouth.

“Typhon, you send such a stupid thing to guard me?”

Although his limbs were torn off, the King of Gods remained majestic and confident.

Staring at the darkness in front of him, he said in his mind.

Hey, you should have gone to the temple of the Goddess of fate by now. As soon as you set foot there, you are destined to go to the fate of failure.

And all the suffering now and your life will become the stepping stone for me to step into the original domain, to become the true Main Gods.

Although it is much earlier than originally planned, it is all still within my grasp.

Thinking like this, a stern look appeared in his eyes.

Humph, after I am promoted to the original primordial domain, the first thing I will do is to get rid of Apollo, the rebellious son, and then defeat Hades and Poseidon, seize their authority and achieve the complete throne of King of God.

By then, both Gaea and Tartarus will have to bow down to me, and I will be above the gods and fate!

When his heart was pounding with the fantasy of the future, Zeus suddenly heard a voice from outside.

“Finally?” His eyes flashed.

After a while, the whimpering sound of three demon dogs came from outside, and a young god with a slender physique and handsome appearance walked in with a face full of fatigue.

“Father God, I have come to rescue you as instructed.” Hermes walked up to Zeus.

“Good, you have done well.” Zeus nodded to him.

Looking at Zeus, who only had his torso and head, Hermes hurriedly picked him up and said.

“I heard that your limbs were hidden in Olympus by Typhon, and now Typhon has taken his descendants to Delphi, just in time to get them back.”

“What, you say where Typhon went?” Zeus’s expression was abruptly astonished.

Hermes said in surprise: “He went to Delphi, and Typhon went to trouble with Apollo. Isn’t this exactly what you want?”

“Damn!” Zeus’s eyes were full of anger and panic, and the body of the lightning flashed.

Hermes did not know what was happening, snapped, and stood at the entrance of the cave.

After a while, Zeus ordered: “Quick, take me to Olympus to retrieve the hands and feet.”

Hermes had to immediately open their wings, carrying Zeus to Olympus, and go.

……

“Athena, how is the situation? Apollo agrees to do it.”

As soon as they walked out of Delphi, many gods surrounded Athena, full of expectation.

The Goddess of wisdom had a smile on her face: “Apollo was resentful of the injustice done to him by His Majesty the King of Gods, but he was, after all, looking toward Olympus and gods. After my persuasion, he has almost agreed, as long as the goddess Hera you go to talk with him again.”

The gods brushed their eyes over the faded Hera.

Hera’s face was ugly: “He is ready to humiliate me? Well, as I said before, as long as he is willing to help fight against Typhon and save the King of God, I am willing to kneel in front of him.”

Saying this, her eyes full of determination, she walked toward the temple of Delphi.

As soon as she walked into the temple and saw the golden figure, she immediately fell to her knees and begged: “Apollo, Olympus…”

“Apollo, Olympus has fallen, the gods are defeated, I am the Queen of Gods, but I cannot help my husband and cannot lead the gods to counterattack.”

“I know you hate me very much. Now I kneel here at your disposal; you quickly go to save the gods.”

Thekasha and Chiron were both stunned.

This gorgeous woman was Hera, the Queen of Gods, and she was kneeling before the God of light, asking for forgiveness.

Even Artemis was a little lost in thought at this moment,  suddenly a dead silence in the temple.

Hera prostrated on the floor with her head bowed, her pale face full of grit.

After the Main God kneeling in front of the son of her husband’s lover, whom she was trying to persecute, is this humiliating?

Of course, it was humiliating.

But she was the wife of Zeus, and for the sake of her husband, she could bear even the greatest humiliation.

“Apollo, Artemis, give vent to your hatred for me; humiliate me as much as you like.”

This humiliation was worth it if it could be exchanged for her husband’s life.

Standing in the middle, Apollo suddenly let out a soft sigh.

“Hera, I know your loyalty to Zeus, no matter what he has done outside, you love him the most, and you are willing to bear everything for him.”

“But I didn’t call you here to humiliate you, which doesn’t give me any pleasure.”

Golden eyes gazing down, Apollo sent out a burst of divine energy and lifted Hera to her feet.

Gazing at the pale Queen of Gods before him, he asked, “If you want my help, I want you to make me a promise in the name of Zeus.”

“What promise?” Hera asked.

“I know the goddess Hecate of the Underworld. She is the Vice King of Underworld. I think this title is very good, so I also want to be.”

Hera’s face suddenly changed, “You want to be the vice ruler of Olympus?”

“Not just Olympus, but the deputy of the entire divine court!” Apollo corrected.

Hera’s face turned even whiter.

Olympus was referred to as Mount Olympus.

Olympus divine court referred to the three powers: Mount Olympus, Ocean, and Underworld.

If he is only the vice-regent of Olympus, he can only manage the gods of Olympus.

And if he is the vice ruler of the entire divine court, then he can represent Olympus and interfere with Ocean and Underworld.

He is truly second only to the King of Gods, the vice ruler of heaven.

“No, I’m not qualified to promise this condition. It’s better to change it.” Hera trembled.

“What do you think of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love and beauty, the brightest jewel of the gods? You do not have a wife yet, but I will promise her to you.” Hera murmured.

Apollo face cold down: “Hera, you think I’m like your husband, can’t walk away from the sight of a woman?”

But Artemis was next to him, but her eyes lit up, and said.

“I think this is a good proposal. You should also have a wife. Why not let her marry Aphrodite to you first and then make you the vice ruler of the court.”

Her words made both Apollo and Hera freeze.

Seeing Hera frozen there, Artemis said coldly: “I don’t want to risk Apollo’s life for such a horrible being as Typhon, and you refuse to accept such a condition.”

“Good!”

After a moment of silence, Hera gritted her teeth.

“As long as you are willing to fight against Typhon immediately, the vice ruler of the divine court and Aphrodite, I give you!”

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was almost hoarse.

Apollo suddenly looked toward the sky, his face solemn, and said, “Don’t worry now; he’s already here!”
