Chapter 607 The Tragic One and the Tragic One
As early as nine years ago, Ganymede had witnessed the shamelessness of the Fifth Xuan.
After the Fifth Xuan became a god, Ganymede was sent to the Human Totem by him. However, when he arrived at the Human Totem, he waited for a long time before contacting the Human Totem, and then was sent back to the Fifth Xuan by the Human Totem.
When he returned to the renamed Fire Tribe with anger and questioned why he claimed to be the incarnation of the Saint's Remnant Consciousness, but was suppressed by the Saint's Remnant Consciousness.
Faced with such questioning, the Fifth Xuan "frankly" invited Ganymede to enter the fairyland for a chat.
At that time, Ganymede did not know that the Fifth Xuan was a treacherous and shameless villain, so he entered the fairyland without hesitation.
And then, there was nothing else.
From the perspective of the Fifth Xuan, he persuaded Ganymede with reason and emotion, and finally convinced Ganymede.
But from the perspective of Ganymede, he was intimidated by the Fifth Xuan, and finally had to surrender.
First of all, Ganymede, who had already escaped from the Mountain of the Gods, really didn't want to go back. Zeus was obsessed with his body, and although he had never let him succeed, he just dealt with it reluctantly. Secondly,
the Fifth Xuan became a god, and was deified continuously in the fairy world, which indeed made Ganymede see that the Fifth Xuan might be as good as Zeus, not to mention that the Fifth Xuan had confronted the Saint's residual consciousness during his previous promotion, which also made him look up to the Fifth Xuan.
Finally, even if the Fifth Xuan let him go, would he really have a place to go? It's not like he didn't understand Zeus' temper.
It would be fine if he chose to completely submit to Zeus, but he really couldn't accept that kind of thing. In this case, he would not have many choices to make.
Even so, Ganymede, who was deceived by the Fifth Mystery into the fairyland and was completely passive, would not be in a very good mood, and his impression of the Fifth Mystery was extremely bad.
Submission was just a helpless choice until he met Hermes.
That was the high and mighty main god in the Mountain of Gods, an existence that he had wanted to curry favor with but couldn't before.
What about now?
It's just a skull, and he could crush him with one finger.
Without comparison, Ganymede would naturally be resentful, but with comparison, Ganymede would be happy.
People can always find happiness in being inferior to the best and better than the worst, and so are gods.
"Help me, I will..."
Hermes was still preparing to persuade Ganymede to help him, although he had already clearly felt that the other party had no intention of doing so.
"I am controlled, I have no choice."
This was a lie, but Ganymede said it in an extremely tragic way, as if everything was true.
This was of course the temptation given by the Fifth Mystic when he persuaded him:
the Fifth Mystic allowed him to waver between the two forces and achieve the result of not offending both sides by lying.
In this way, even if the Primordial Alliance is at a disadvantage in this possible war, Ganymede can still retreat calmly, but he will have to pay the price he had to pay in the first place...
Seeing that Ganymede did not directly refuse, Hermes still felt that he should fight for it.
The vast desert is naturally easy for gods to survive, but for himself in the state of a skeleton, it is too dangerous.
"I understand your predicament, but please help me."
Hermes finally faced Ganymede as an equal, but even so, he was reluctant to say a word of please.
"I really want to help you, but I can't leave this continent, otherwise..."
Ganymede didn't mind helping Hermes. After all, it would be good for himself, if there really was such a day in the future.
But he would not be so foolish as to walk out of the range of the Saint's residual consciousness, otherwise Zeus would definitely...
"No need."
Hermes waved his hand and said without waiting for Ganymede to finish, "Just help me cross this desert. On the other side of the desert, I will meet the gods of the Mountain of Gods."
Ganymede was still a little reluctant. It was not that he did not want to help, but as the Saint's residual consciousness weakened, the powerful gods could already enter this desert.
If Hermes was captured by a god on the way to send him back, it would be a loss.
"I will protect you, in the name of the messenger of the gods, believe me."
Hermes saw through the source of Aganymede's hesitation at a glance, and said impatiently.
"Well... okay."
In order to leave a way out for himself, Ganymede still couldn't help but agree.
Ganymede lifted up the skeleton-like Hermes and took him to the sky, quickly crossing the endless desert.
"What are you doing here?"
Hermes asked curiously while flying in the air.
Ganymede's eyes moved and said, "Taichu asked me to help him find the Giant Court."
Hermes was stunned and asked, "The ancient Giant Court?"
Ganymede nodded, indicating that it was the one.
"Did you find it?"
Hermes asked excitedly. Ganymede
hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Where is it?"
Hermes asked immediately.
Since he had decided not to keep it secret, Ganymede no longer hesitated and pointed to the south of the desert: "In the southern part of the desert, in an invisible fortress."
Hermes nodded and kept this place in mind. He couldn't help but said to Ganymede: "I will tell the God King about this news. He will definitely reward you."
Ganymede showed a not very happy smile and said nothing.
Hermes stopped talking, but he urged Ganymede to speed up.
When Ganymede crossed the desert and saw the edge of the other side, he immediately stopped and put Hermes on the ground.
"I'm waiting for you to rescue me."
Ganymede said, and after getting Hermes' affirmative answer, he turned around and flew back - he must tell Taichu the news of the giant court as soon as possible, at least he couldn't let him get the news later than the king of gods.
On the other side, Hermes finally stepped onto the continent belonging to the Mountain of Gods. The two continents are actually connected, but they are separated by this desert in the middle.
The city-state closest to this desert is an unknown place. There is no king here, and there is no absolute ruler. The ones who actually rule here are countless merchants who sell people.
Among Hermes's several names, there is one title of "God of Commerce", so this nameless city can be said to be his place of faith.
As long as he returns to this city, he can contact the Mountain of Gods through the temple in this city, which makes him speed up his pace involuntarily.
After several days of sleepless trekking, Hermes' consciousness was very tired, because the actions of his skeleton body were all based on his strong consciousness.
But he still had to persevere, because he knew how important the Giant King's Court was to the Mountain of Gods, and that was where the King of Gods was obsessed. However
, the tragedy was that because he cared too much about the Giant King's Court, he forgot that he was a skeleton, so when he approached the nameless city, he was driven away by the warriors guarding the city.
He was regarded as obscure and evil by the Nameless City and was rejected. The funny thing was that the warriors who drove him out were his followers.
"Foolish and ignorant people, I will punish you when I regain my throne."
He stood outside the Nameless City, jumping and cursing angrily, but people did not react at all. There were no totems here, and they could not hear the curses with consciousness.
This made him helpless. He could only try to bypass the Nameless City and go to the next city to seek help, or see if he could meet other gods on the way.
Fortunately, he met other gods, but unfortunately, he met the god he least wanted to meet.
It was a tall god with scorching flames all over his body. His left foot was a little lame, and his lower body was not strong.
But his upper body is very strong, whether it is the waist or the arms, they are full of strong and excessive muscles.
Hephaestus, the god of fire and technology, can also be called the god of fire, is one of the twelve main gods with the same name as Hermes.
He has a tragic life.
Because he was born lame, he was abandoned by his mother Hera, the goddess of "marriage and family", and was later raised by the sea goddess Thetis.
After growing up, Hevestos showed his extraordinary casting ability, and successively created artifacts for the main gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and thus began to be valued.
For this reason, he was recruited back to the Mountain of Gods and was given a marriage with Aphrodite, the goddess of "love and beauty", one of the twelve main gods.
So far, his life can be said to have completed a reversal.
From a cripple who abandoned his baby to a person who was valued by the king of gods, and married Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess among the twelve main gods.
It can be said that his life is already perfect, but in fact, this is just the beginning of another tragic life.
Aphrodite, the goddess of "love and beauty" of the Pantheon, did not want to marry a cripple. In fact, she preferred the strong and brainless "god of war and destruction" Ares.
So the goddess of love began to shamelessly cuckold the poor Hevestos, one hat after another.
The god of war Ares has the longest shining hat, while Hermes is an inconspicuous one among many green hats.
This is just one of the reasons why Hermes did not want to meet him.
In fact, after that failed marriage, Hephaestus married Aglaia, one of the three Graces, and his life was back on track.
This made the hatred between them fade a lot - the main reason was that Hephaestus had too many green hats on his head, and he was really jealous.
The real reason why Hermes didn't want to meet him was that the last time he went to the Ice Bear Tribe, the priest of the God of Fire died there, which made Hermes hate Hermes again.
He was originally a guy with a bad temper, and he had experienced so many tragic things. It would be strange if he could let Hermes go again when he met him in this state.
So, the God of Fire who went out to find a divine tool was shocked by Hermes' state and didn't let him say anything, and directly captured him.
Having captured Hermes, Herstos went straight to the nearest volcano, to vent all his hatred.
In his opinion, the best way is to use Hermes' bones as the main body to create a brand new artifact.
This is an idea he had long ago, but he has never encountered the right "material", and Hermes just hit the muzzle of the gun.
It has to be said that this is the story between the tragic Hermes and the tragic Herstos.
I have been staying up late to write recently, so I have to adjust. Sorry, there will be two updates today.
