Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Hermes conspiracy against Apollo

“Damn, how did the mother goddess promise to betroth Aphrodite to Apollo?”

In the huge palace, Ares roared angrily, his figure like a thunderbolt.

“Yes, the two of us have been pursuing Aphrodite for so many years without success, but in the end, it was cheap to Apollo, it’s so hateful!”

Hermes also had a gloomy face.

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Hermes gritted his teeth and said, “Have been back for several days, the Father God has not yet returned to Olympus, and now there are rumors from the gods that the Father God has fallen, threatening to make Apollo the new King of God.”

“These bastards, which of them did not face the Father God respectfully before, but now they are showing their true colors, I will kill them!”

Ares roared and drew his sword.

Hermes stopped him: “Are you crazy, Apollo’s strength can even kill Typhon, now the Father God has not returned, you go against him, is not looking for death?”

Ares’s face stiffened and sat down on the ground.

“What do you think should be done, now Apollo’s temper is too arrogant, and the Mother Goddess is even more useless, not even the courage to face him. The thought of Aphrodite’s white and delicate body is about to be defiled by him, I have to fight with him!”

This God of war angrily thrust his sword into the ground.

At this time Hermes’ eyes, mysteriously said: “I have a way to deal with Apollo, but you need to cooperate.”

Ares came to the spirit, eyes shining, and asked: “What way, you quickly say.”

“Do not rush; you go to the Apollo temple of light next to hide well, and wait for me to be ready to talk.” Hermes smiled and said.

Ares did not think much, pulled up the sword on the ground, and hurriedly walked out.

Looking at his back, Hermes sneered.

“Really good deception, so also want to covet Aphrodite? But the thought of Apollo with him later, hey, I’m really smart.”

Laughing like this, he unleashed his ‘travel’ authority and brushed up to Aphrodite’s palace.

“Hermes, what brings you here?” Aphrodite blinked her beautiful eyes and aimed at the figure that appeared.

She had many suitors in Olympus, the most prominent of which was Ares, the God of war and this messenger of the gods.

However, she knew that her status was a beauty gain, and the face of all suitors was using the mean of hanging.

Always kept a good relationship but did not give them anything to take advantage of.

In such a way, she kept in Olympus’ honorable position and became the only one who was not the child of Zeus or the wife of the twelve Main Gods.

But such a life was coming to an end.

“Apollo …”

Thinking back to the golden figure in her mind, she had a blush of shame and annoyance on her face.

Hermes smiled lightly and said: “These days you do not talk to us because to marry Apollo?”

“Alas, you are so devoted to him, but he is hooking up with that little girl Hecate and not caring about you at all. If I had married you, I would have treated you as the most precious treasure and taken good care of you.” His face was filled with sadness.

“Hermes, stop this nonsense.” Aphrodite glared at him and pointed to the door, saying, “Don’t you ever come to my place again.”

Hermes snapped and walked away.

After he left, Aphrodite looked at her beauty in the mirror, and tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She held the table in pain: Apollo, you are indeed a very handsome god, elegant and powerful, but you do not love me at all. Yes, you are such a noble god; of course, cannot see I have good skin, but inside, the slutty, like to use the many pursuits of male gods for power, woman.

Yet you don’t know how difficult it is to gain a foothold in Olympus as an Alien God who has no half-blood relationship with the Olympus gods, who are all family, while I am just an outsider.

For so many years, I could only use my beauty to get around these evil wolves, using them and not letting them have their way. Do you know how hard it was for me? No, you people see only my beautiful appearance.

Aphrodite spoke coldly, but her mind recalled that day decades ago.

It was the day when Apollo and his sister first went to Olympus.

Hermes introduced him to the gods, and under his short golden hair, his radiant eyes carried praise and boasted of his beauty.

At that time only thought that this was a handsome and elegant young god.

I did not expect to become my husband in the present.

And he did not like himself when everything now seemed to have a disguised component.

He has a beautiful and caring sister Artemis, laughing and flirts with Athena, close to the Goddess of stars, Astraea, and now there was the smart and lovely Hecate.

Knowing that he was about to marry me, he didn’t even say a word to me in the past few days.

“Apollo, how nice it would be if you could always look at me with the same eyes you did at the beginning …” She murmured sadly.

When she was sad, Hermes whispered in the corner to the blond boy with wings next to her: “Eros, you see, your mother does not like Apollo and is sad to marry him!”

Eros, the young God of love with a bow and arrow on his back, looked at his mother’s sad face and said through clenched teeth, “You’re right; it’s because of Apollo that his mother has been in such pain for two days.”

“And the only way to stop your mother’s pain is to make her not marry Apollo,” Hermes said seriously.

“But Apollo is very powerful, Typhon is so scary, he killed him, he wants mother to marry him, what can we do?” Eros’s small face was covered with distress.

“Of course, we cannot force him not to marry, but we can make him withdraw voluntarily, such as by… Let him fall madly in love with someone else.” Hermes said with a low laugh.

“This, do you want me to use the love golden arrow?” Eros widened his eyes and hurriedly shook his head, “No, mother commanded me never to use the love golden arrow at will.”

“Then we’ll just have to watch her continue to grieve.” Hermes sighed softly and quietly activated the ‘deception’ authority.

“I don’t care that much, but she is the mother who loves you the most. Are you willing to watch her grieve like this all the time?”

Hermes’ voice was full of compelling power and kept echoing in Eros’ mind.

Little Eros’s small face twisted up, and gradually small hand hesitantly touch the golden bow and arrow on the body.

This was a divine weapon with terrible magic power.

Only he could use it.

The arrow of love could make anyone fall crazy in love with another person.

Even Zeus, the King of Gods, was once trapped and difficult to get rid of.

Because the power of this divine weapon was so terrifying and was in the hands of a god like him who was mentally incomplete and forever stuck in his teenage years.

So the gods were once very afraid of him.

Later, his mother strictly restricted him from using the golden arrow of love.

But this time, it was for the mother.

As long as she was no longer sad, even if she was scolded that was nothing.

So thinking, he gritted his teeth and looked at Hermes: “Okay, I promise you.”

Seeing him nod his head in agreement, Hermes’ face showed a smug smile.

Everything was under control.

“Apollo, Ares, all of you are vulgar barbarians with only one set of strength. How can you be as powerful as a smart person like me? I’ll make you lose face in a moment.”

“So that when the Father God returns, I will be heavily praised.”
