Chapter 242: The Chaos of War God Mountain
The next night, at Hestia's mansion.
The Stove Goddess looked at her servant god who was almost wrapped like a mummy on the bed, with a look of helplessness and heartache.
"Why did you bother her for no reason? Not only did you force her to finish the meal, but you also dragged her into the lake in the middle of the night..."
"I don't want to either..."
Luo En felt very aggrieved upon hearing this, and looked at his own Lord God with resentment.
"You let her into the kitchen, she asked for the bet, and you drugged her. I was so kind as to cover your retreat, and I took on everything by myself."
Hearing the tearful accusation, Hestia immediately looked away guiltily and muttered softly.
"Just a little itching and some herbs to get the blood flowing..."
"That's why she beat me like this!"
Loen waved his tightly wrapped arms with a look of grief and anger on his face.
A wave of small pink bottle incidents happened not long ago, and now the wine consumed at the banquet has shown similar symptoms. Both Lorne and Athena subconsciously thought that there were residues of some [Secret Love Potion] in them.
Therefore, he chose to jump into the lake with Athena to suppress the impulsive heat in his body, and by the way, look for a calming potion in the small dark room of the God of Medicine at the foot of the mountain.
However, when Hestia and Circe arrived, they realized that it was just a small prank.
With new hatred and old grudges added to the mix, Athena, who was completely soaked like a drowned rat, broke down on the spot and chased Loen with gritted teeth across half the mountain until she caught him and beat him up, then she left.
Afterwards, it was Hestia and Circe who pulled him out of the pit and took him home to take care of him.
"I was the one who gave you the drug. She was angry and came to me. Why did she beat you like this?"
Finally, Hestia could no longer bear the condemnation of her conscience and the gaze of her own subordinate god, and she acted indignant, wanting to speak up for her own subordinate god.
However, after these words were spoken, Loen's face turned even darker, and he spoke in a low voice.
"She said that you are the Lord God, and if the Lord God made a mistake, it must be because the subordinate gods did not fulfill their obligation to advise and guide. Besides, how can a niece reprimand her aunt? So after thinking about it, of course she beat me..."
“…”
Hearing the resentful answer, Hestia was suddenly speechless, and looked at her own god with a look of deep guilt and shame.
Seeing that the atmosphere was brewing, Loen made the most crucial defense and accusation.
"So, now you understand, don't you? It's not my fault for what happened last time. I was just a victim. I really didn't mean to take advantage of others with that kind of potion."
"Yeah, that's right! It's all the fault of those two little brats!"
Hestia nodded repeatedly, believing it without a doubt. She looked at her upright and reliable servant god who had taken the blame for her and taken the blame. She felt even more sorry and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm sorry for your hardship..."
"Forget it. Athena is right. I am your subordinate god after all. There are some things I should bear for you."
Loen waved his hands, looking helpless yet willing.
Hestia felt warmed at first, but then she became angrier and angrier. She slammed the table and stood up angrily.
"No, we can't just let this go!"
Someone who is dedicated to adding fuel to the fire has eyes that flicker faintly, with a hint of expectation and pleasure rising from deep within.
Yes, yes, Lao Da, you have to stand up and avenge me!
"So, you want to..."
"She bullied my subordinate god, so I will bully her subordinate god too!
At this point, Hestia put her hands on her waist, straightened her body, and made a statement.
"Those two brats are the ones who hurt you, right? Wait, I'm going to punish them and vent your anger!"
As she spoke, the Hearth Goddess skillfully summoned a long whip with black light patterns and walked out aggressively.
After taking a few steps, the figure of the Lord God, along with the long whip of light in his hand, quickly disappeared into the thick night.
Hestia, you have become a bad person...
Loen looked at his own Lord God who had escaped under some pretext, shook his head, then turned over and sat up from the bed, skillfully untied the bandages that covered his entire body, and moved his numb limbs comfortably.
At this time, apart from a few red spots on his body, there was no sign of injury at all.
After all, with the power of [life] and [healing] brought by the [crown], he already possessed amazing self-recovery abilities.
And it was impossible for Athena to beat him to death. The injuries on her body only looked scary, but they were far from being serious enough to cause any fractures.
As soon as he activated the power of the [Crown], he was actually almost fully recovered.
The reason why he lay in bed for most of the day, looking so miserable, was of course to use a self-torture tactic to gain Hestia's sympathy and stimulate her guilt so that he could get away with it.
Of course, the effect is also obvious.
Hestia had already completely identified him as a victim in the last incident, and no longer pursued the issue of him tricking so many goddesses into going up the mountain, so he basically didn't have to worry about being brought up against him in the future.
Well, now that I have dealt with Athena and Hestia, there will be no more trouble on Mount Ares, and I can focus on carrying out my next plan.
Just as Lorne was organizing his thoughts and preparing to go out, the door was quietly pushed open.
One figure after another filed in under the cover of night, and soon almost filled the entire bedroom.
"You're okay? That's great!"
The clear and cheerful voice was like the singing of an oriole. Erato, the Muse in charge of love poems and solos, excitedly approached the bed with a fruit basket.
Behind her, the other eight Muses also gathered around her, each holding some gifts of consolation in their hands.
"Shh, you didn't see anything. I don't want to be discovered by Athena and then get beaten up again."
Seeing so many people coming into the room, Loen quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered instructions.
As the distance shortened, the muses looked up and down at Lorne, who was only wearing shorts. Their fiery gazes fell on his well-proportioned and beautiful muscle lines, gradually emitting an astonishing heat.
After not seeing him for a while, this male god seems to be even more charming.
It's okay to keep it secret, but...
The nine goddesses licked their moist cherry lips, like wolves seeing a piece of meat, their eyes gradually filled with the urge to try.
Seeing the look in Lasi's eyes opposite him, Loen immediately realized that he couldn't get away for the time being.
~~
"boom!"
A few days later, accompanied by a loud roar, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor and fell heavily in the wilderness outside Athens.
In the thick smoke and dust, Loen staggered out of the deep pit and looked towards the God of War Mountain with a depressed look on his face.
Well, he was thrown out of Ares Mountain.
The reason is that it has brought about a bad influence on the working environment.
Because during the days when he was "bedridden", the nine muses came to "visit" him almost every night under the cover of darkness.
Either in groups of three, two, seven, or all of them, they would act out a night shift ward scenario for him every night.
And because their affair was too outrageous and frequent, they were caught red-handed by Medusa.
So, the Gorgon reluctantly reached a deal with the nine Muses and obtained half of the usage rights of someone.
Later, Euryale and Stheno, who had obtained information from their sister, also joined in.
According to their perception, this is a happy bullying behavior where the majority bullies one person, and they want to join in the numbers.
Moreover, doing that kind of thing seems to make people quite happy physically and mentally, and the two female ghosts naturally enjoy it.
But in this case, with more than a dozen people getting together for a party, the goddesses on the God of War Mountain are not blind, and the truth will be revealed sooner or later.
Therefore, a few days later, Loen, the source of all evil, was thrown out of the War God Mountain with dark faces by several goddesses who could no longer tolerate him.
After all, some of them are lonely women in the boudoir, some are virgin goddesses who have vowed to remain chaste and their servants, and a few are ignorant children. No one can stand listening to those "hmm" and "ah" sounds all day long.
But it’s not my fault, they took the initiative.
Moreover, even though they said no, they still came in groups to attack me.
After a moment of depressed muttering, Loen brushed off the dust and grass debris on his body, took out a purple snake scale from his arms, and began to think about his next plan.
Although he fooled around at night, he also did a lot of serious work during the day.
On the one hand, the [Court of Inquisition] of the Goddess of Justice and the [Library] of the Goddess of Memory required him to provide reference suggestions. The three of them had to consult frequently to jointly promote the implementation of the plan. For the sake of serious matters, Themis and Mnemosyne turned a blind eye to his fooling around with several goddesses and defiling the Ares Mountain.
On the other hand, Lorne also established a good relationship with the Snake Mother. This snake scale was a token given to him by Echidna. With the foundation of life-saving grace and the example of the three Gorgon sisters returning to the shore, the Snake Mother hoped that he could continue to change the current predicament and future crisis of the descendants of Typhon, so as to prevent her children from dying tragically one by one in the future.
In response, Loen readily agreed and took the commission.
At present, he has three things to do:
One is to use the token given by the snake mother Echidna to recruit the descendants of Typhon scattered all over the place, quietly expand his own power and obtain the [Golden Apple] guarded by the hundred-headed dragon Ladon;
The other is to go to Hades to keep an appointment with the Queen of Hell and see if the hidden danger of Hecate's Wheel can be solved;
The last one will continue to fleece the twelve main gods, complete the twelve incarnations of divinity, unlock the first seal of the twelve-sided dice, and see what the "gift" mentioned by Hecate is.
After thinking it over, Luo En decided to cross out the third item first.
The reason is simple: Hecate hides too many things and cannot be trusted.
Whether it was Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, Themis, the Goddess of Justice, or Thetis, the Goddess of the Sea, they all reminded him, intentionally or unintentionally, to be on guard against the Goddess of the Underworld and the Moon.
The so-called "gift" sealed in the twelve-sided dice may not be a good thing.
Therefore, before making full preparations or erasing the Wheel of Hecate on your body, it is best to temporarily slow down the collection of the remaining three main gods' divinity.
What's more, the remaining three targets are Hera, Zeus, and Hephaestus, the god of fire.
The God of Fire is easy to deal with, but the other two are not so easy to fool. It may not be a bad idea to take it slow.
Immediately afterwards, Loen made a decision and chose to go two first and then one.
That is to say, go to the underworld first and then come back to try to get in touch with the descendants of Typhon scattered around.
In this way, he could escort the descendants of Typhon to Mount Ares on his way back to Athens.
Having made up his mind, Loen placed the purple snake scales into the magic circle, then took out the dull Horn of Plenty, looked far away in the direction of the Alima Crypt, and muttered to himself meaningfully.
Well, stepmother, I'm going to keep the appointment.
