Chapter 178 The Day the Goddess Suffers
A few days later, on a lush, isolated island.
The sunset glows and the sea breeze blows.
Thetis in her bedroom groaned, woke up from her sleep, and stretched her limbs in her clam shell.
The sluggishness of her divine power and the feeling of physical weakness made her suddenly realize her situation. She subconsciously sat up in shock, opened her eyes and looked at herself and her surroundings.
Fortunately, everything is fine.
The neatly dressed body, the familiar furnishings in the house, and the fact that there were no signs of outsiders setting foot in the house made the sea goddess breathe a sigh of relief. She leaned her tense body against the clam shell, then let down her guard and felt a little more favorable towards the figure who made her angry and annoyed.
Even though that little bastard behaved a little frivolously, at least he had a bottom line and didn't choose to take advantage of someone in distress.
It was worth the risk to save him.
"Are you awake? Do you want to come out and eat something?"
Just as Thetis was thinking, a gentle question came from outside the palace.
The goddess of the sea raised her head and looked at the Hermes patterns on the wall and the door that formed the shape of eyes and gave people a sense of peeping. Her face froze and she subconsciously pulled up her drooping neckline, secretly complaining in her heart.
Well, there is bottom line, but not much…
In the open space in front of the hall, Loen heard the sound of the door being opened. He looked up at the graceful figure walking towards him. He reached out to take the golden rabbit meat roasted on the fire and handed it over with a smile.
"Here, try what I just made."
Thetis pursed her lips, bent down and sat down, took the kindness that the other party took the initiative to release, put it in her mouth, and prepared to taste it symbolically.
However, as the salty and fragrant shreds of meat entered her mouth, the sea goddess opened her lips and teeth wide and decisively increased her eating speed.
His craftsmanship is excellent, worthy of being the servant of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.
Moreover, after sleeping for so many days, she was really hungry.
"In order to prevent any accidents, I left a few spells for monitoring in your bedroom. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Yeah." Thetis nodded without commenting.
"I'm relieved to see that you woke up safely. Before that, thank you for your help."
"No need to thank me. Helping you is also helping myself."
Thetis swallowed a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, looked up at Lorne standing in front of the fire, and spoke softly.
"As long as you guys visit my father and sister's house less often in the future, I will be very grateful."
Hearing these words mixed with a hint of resentment, Loen couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
It seems that Thetis had been fleeced too harshly before. The Queen of the Sea and the Old Man of the Sea must have been nagging Thetis in her ear a lot.
But complaining is better than stabbing someone in the back.
Judging from the intentions and actions of this sea goddess, she is clearly representing the old man in the sea and his family and taking the initiative to make peace with the Crete island.
After all, Poseidon, the prisoner of the ocean gods, is still serving his sentence, Atlantis has sunk, the three-headed and hundred-armed giant is squatting at the doorsteps of the ocean gods all day long, and there was a rebellion of the Gigantes giants in Thessaly, where he was serving his sentence some time ago. It is hard not to think too much.
The Queen of the Sea and the old man in the sea, who are now hiding at home, are probably like frightened birds, fearing that this is a signal from Zeus that he is going to take action against them.
The more unsafe the moment is, the more we should not give others an advantage.
Otherwise, if we are not careful, it will bring a catastrophe to the Sea of Oceanus.
For example, if a subordinate god like himself who has a close relationship with several main gods encounters an accident in the sea, the Queen of the Sea and her family and the Old Man in the Sea, who have always had a grudge against Crete, will undoubtedly be the top suspects.
By then, even if I have mouths all over my body, I probably won’t be able to explain myself.
No wonder this woman had a lukewarm attitude even after saving him.
After all this time, were you forced to do this?
Loen was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and then a look of sincerity appeared on his face.
"Next time, you can go to the human city-states along the coast. I will be your host and I promise to treat you well."
Seeing that the other party had understood what she meant, Thetis' expression softened a lot and she nodded slightly.
Honestly speaking, since her biological father was a peacemaker and a savior, she didn't want to have any enmity with other gods.
So, help if you can.
It would be best if everyone kept to themselves and continued to live their lives in peace and stability.
In addition, the barbecue and mushroom soup taste really good...
Thetis put down the stick in her hand, sipped the delicious soup in the bowl, and felt extremely comfortable both physically and mentally.
However, just as she was about to concentrate on enjoying the peaceful days, the already dark night sky turned into a large area of eerie scarlet, and dark red lightning struck the sea surface, setting off a raging ether storm.
What's going on?
Thetis, who was drinking soup, couldn't help but eyelid twitching. She looked up at the strange sight, feeling doubtful.
Crash~ Crash~~!
Amid the sounds of water, unusually active schools of fish began to bite each other frantically, and ferocious-looking sea beasts floated to the surface and rushed towards each other.
Under the influence of blood, the living creatures in the water became extremely crazy and engaged in a desperate and bloody fight, as if they were soldiers who had just drunk a farewell drink and were rushing to the battlefield to fight to the death, frantically venting the angry will imposed on them to the enemy before them.
"Come out! Come out! You bastard from the sea!"
The violent roars became louder and louder. A burly figure holding a golden sword stood in the center of the bloody storm and slashed at the sea angrily.
As the inscriptions on the sword flickered and floated, blood-colored bands of light fell sharply like swords, and the surging magic power and the air created a rainbow-like stream of light.
Extremely beautiful, but also extremely dangerous!
The surrounding sea water began to boil and the islands along the way collapsed one after another.
A strong tremor also spread to the feet of the two people.
——Sword of the God of War!
When Thetis saw this, her face changed drastically.
——It’s Ares!
Why would he come to the Sea of Oceanus to cause trouble?
Suddenly, the sea goddess seemed to remember something. She stood up and stared at a figure opposite her.
"What did you do?"
"What? Isn't he looking for you?"
Lorne blinked and put on a confused and innocent expression, trying to get away with it.
"Appearance can be disguised, and the source of identity can lead to misleading..."
Obviously, as a wise woman among the ocean nymphs, Thetis is not as easy to fool as Hestia.
"You seem to possess a portion of the ocean's protection. Also, are your injuries caused by the divinity of war?"
The Ocean Goddess thought of the scene when the two sides first met, and her voice trembled slightly as she looked at the mad Warrior King in the bloody storm.
"So, what did you do to him?"
"Well, we had some minor friction..." Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Loen had to confess reluctantly.
"Then what?"
"I accidentally killed his avatar..."
Hearing this, Thetis felt dizzy and almost fainted.
What a sin!
Why did I get so excited that I went out and picked up this evil?
At this moment, the sea goddess realized that she had accidentally gotten herself into a huge trouble. Looking at the culprit in front of her, she regretted it so much.
