Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

[The dim lantern becomes bright and warm again. ]

[You bow slightly in the direction where the goddess disappeared, and continue on your way with the lantern.]

[Waiting for you further ahead is Artemis. 】

【She regretted it.】

[I shouldn't have given you the Moon God Armor and watched you die.]

[“Woooooaaaaa!”]

[“Don’t go, little Zoe! Demeter is very angry now. You will definitely die if you go! And you haven’t completed Hades’ request. When your soul goes to the underworld, he will definitely throw it into the abyss!”]

[Lovely Miss Luna once again reveals her innocent nature. ]

[She seemed to have forgotten that she was also a god. She hugged your arms and cried loudly, cursing: "Why did these two guys have to make such a big fuss?! What bastards!!!"]

[Artemis became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she simply summoned the golden-horned deer chariot and prepared to go to the underworld to beat up the culprit Hades first.]

[Fortunately, Apollo was still rational and quickly pulled his sister away. ]

[Seeing this funny guy being dragged away, the depression in your heart was immediately dispelled. ]

[Artemis has lived for so many years, but she is still like a child. ]

[Is this the legendary innocent heart? ]

[She may lack respect for life, but she is really good to you. ]

[This is also where she is most like a child. ]

[There is no good or evil, no good or bad in my eyes. 】

【Only close or not. 】

[The main point is to clearly distinguish between love and hate, and to help relatives instead of others. 】

[You guessed it, if Apollo hadn't come, I'm afraid this gentle-looking but tough-minded lady of the Moon Goddess would have dared to drive her golden-horned deer chariot into the underworld to fight Hades.]

[Or maybe if you had used a little more wisdom just now, with your position in Artemis' heart, you would have been able to drag this powerful god down with you.]

But you won't do that.

[Because you are Zoe, because you are ..........]

【hero.】

The road to the Temple of Demeter was unexpectedly long.

Mount Olympus seemed to be resisting Lin Yi's path.

It is also possible that he did not receive an invitation from the gods and could only force his way in with the guidance of the lantern.

That's why.

but it does not matter.

The road is right under your feet. As long as you don't stop, you will reach it sooner or later.

Lin Yi walked and walked, from late at night to sunrise.

He climbed over mountains and crossed seas.

Numerous difficulties and obstacles could not stop Lin Yi's progress.

Until the boy walked in front of Hephaestus.

The goddess in the red dress sitting in the wheelchair said nothing when she saw Lin Yi.

Yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

——I’ll go with you!

There was no need for verbal communication; Lin Yi could clearly read the meaning from her eyes.

No matter what the road ahead holds, I'll be there with you!

Anyway, I am not liked by the gods!

So, I don’t like them either!

I..................

Only like you!

From the moment he was abandoned by Queen Hera, Hephaestus no longer had any expectations of being a god.

She is a god.

It's just because she was born a god.

It was not Hephaestus who chose to become a god.

In her opinion, what is the difference between God and man?

We like beautiful things and hate ugly things.

You can determine your attitude towards a person just by looking at their appearance.

Too superficial!

Hephaestus hated this superficiality!

So she just wanted to marry the most perfect goddess, Aphrodite.

She was going to prove to Hera that the child you had abandoned, the ugliest and most unlovable child in your eyes, was the one who could marry the most perfect goddess!

It's your fault for abandoning me!

Not mine!

Anger and resentment filled Hephaestus' heart, making her paranoid and crazy.

Although it seems inhuman, it is actually just a mask she wears to hide her inner fragility.

It's just a way to freeze your heart.

Until that day.

Hephaestus would never forget that day.

The boy entered the forge room and praised his beauty sincerely and earnestly.

He did not despise his disabled body, nor did he despise the ugly flame pattern on the right half of his face, and he did not cast any strange looks.

Just praise yourself with joy.

"Such a beautiful face, why cover it up?"

"Your Majesty Hephaestus, don't you feel bored staying in the temple all the time?"

"I am willing to be your legs and take you to see the beautiful world outside!"

Ah.

In fact, the world outside is not beautiful.

Hephaestus knew everything.

But she still came out.

Because of your existence, I can rekindle a little hope in this not-so-beautiful world.

Without you, this world would be nothing but filth.

Hephaestus could not sit idly by and watch Lin Yi die, so she betrayed the gods and stood on the side of her beloved.

Of course Lin Yi knew what the goddess in front of him was thinking.

But he couldn't accept this feeling.

The reason is very simple, Lin Yi’s death is not really dead.

Just pat your butt and return to reality.

Return to Chaldea.

But what will become of Hephaestus?

Just look at Prometheus who is still suffering.

So, no matter what Hephaestus said, Lin Yi could not take her with him.

"Sometimes I marvel at the magic of fate, just like now."

Lin Yi was moved and distressed as he looked at the stubborn goddess in front of him. He said with a smile: "Everyone I met before was trying to persuade me to go back. Why is it that after I met you, I became the one who persuaded you to go back?"

"........................"

Hephaestus remained silent and did not answer at all.

She knew that she was not good at speaking and would definitely not be able to win the argument with Lin Yi, so she simply decided not to debate.

Anyway, I'm here. If you have the ability, just send me back!

Stubborn, but cute.

"You really don't want to go back?"

"......................"

"Okay then, let's go together."

Seemingly convinced, Lin Yi reluctantly agreed.

But when Hephaestus just relaxed and smiled, Lin Yi jumped out without any moral principles, and shouted another name at the same time.

——"Your Majesty Athena, I know you are watching! Help me stop her, and I will reward you handsomely later!"

[Hephaestus's expression suddenly changed. She wanted to resist, but it was too late.]

[How could Athena, who is so smart, not have made preparations in advance? ]

[She perfectly seized the opportunity you created and worked with you in perfect sync. Hephaestus was stopped in his tracks and could not leave. The time would not be long, at most three days.]

【But that’s enough.】

【Three days is enough for you to step into Olympus. 】

[“Athena!!!”]

[Growling and roaring like the beast in his hand, Hephaestus burst out with astonishing killing intent. 】

[At this moment, she really wanted to kill Athena.]

[All kinds of god-made weapons were thrown out as if they were free. Even Athena, who always had a calm and unhurried smile, was a little surprised. ]

[She still underestimated your position in Hephaestus' heart, so she was almost hit. ]

[Fortunately, Athena was stronger than Hephaestus, so even though she was caught off guard and suffered a small loss, she still managed to escape.]

【Rush to your side.】

[Athena looked at you with resentment, sighing: "Alas, I have offended Hephaestus to death this time."]

[“Little Zoe, how are you going to compensate me for my loss? For you, I am now against all the gods.”]

[Against all gods? ]

[You laughed, but did not expose Athena's words. You just casually replied: "According to the agreement, I will belong to you in three hundred years. I am yours in my entirety. Your Majesty Athena, may I ask what else I can use to compensate you?"]

[After hearing this, Athena thought about it seriously. ]

[I found that it seems to be true! 】

[I had no choice but to give up the opportunity to ask for benefits, and lightly tapped your forehead angrily. ]

[“.Hey you, when did you become so cunning?”]

“This is called wisdom.”

[You touched the spot where the goddess touched you, and said teasingly with a smile: "As the goddess of wisdom, can't you guess who I learned this from?"]

[Athena rolled her eyes. She knew you were still unhappy with your previous vows, so she was probably trying to make things difficult for herself.]

【But she didn't care at all.】

[As long as she can get what she likes, Athena doesn't care whether the means are despicable or not. ]
