Chapter 42: Hephaestus, Come, Put on Your Hat
In the house warmed by the fire, as Athena told the story of the "Olympus Prime Time Drama" disguised as the "Mortal Family Tear-Up Drama of the Year", Lorne, who was secretly identifying with the story, became more and more sweaty the more he listened.
Come to think of it, this matter really has something to do with him.
A few months ago, with the help of the [Dice of Chance], Lorne stole part of Ares' authority, causing the God of War to suddenly change from a "great man" to a "weak man". As a result, he was kicked out by his unsatisfied bed partner, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, causing quite a stir.
Soon, Ares regained his strength and hooked up with Aphrodite again, winning the favor of the goddess of beauty.
But the affair between the two gods was discovered by the suspicious Hephaestus, which made the craftsman god, who was the victim, very angry.
Therefore, in a fit of rage, he tried his best and used all his skills to forge a golden net. When Ares and Aphrodite were having an affair again, he caught the lovers who were having fun in bed.
Then, Hephaestus, still not satisfied, summoned the gods of Mount Olympus, exposed the adulterous couple to the public, and sought justice and judgment from the gods.
But the final result was that the honest man broke down and gave in.
On the one hand, most of the people who came to watch the fun were male gods, and they found it difficult to resist the charm of the goddess of beauty. Even Apollo, who thought highly of himself, was aroused and felt sorry when he saw the shy Aphrodite.
Hermes, the messenger of the gods who always liked to curry favor, simply declared loudly that he dared to guarantee with his head that he would be tied up with the beautiful goddess of beauty. He was willing to do so even if he had to add three more chains and was criticized by the goddesses present. He used this to plead for mercy to the honest Hephaestus.
Finally, Poseidon, the god of the sea who had long coveted the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, also came out to take sides.
You know, because Hestia had lived in seclusion on earth for a long time, there were only eleven main gods in Olympus at that time.
Hephaestus had to face five gods, including Ares and Aphrodite who were having an affair, Hermes and Poseidon who were supportive, and Hera who was obviously partial to her youngest son.
Apollo, whose lust was aroused, chose to abstain; Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, did not care about worldly affairs; not to mention Zeus, whose own bottom was not clean, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Even the two virgin goddesses Athena and Artemis stood up and spoke in support of Hephaestus because they were disgusted by the actions of Aphrodite and Ares.
But facing the absolute advantage of the opposition, even if a theocratic conference was held, the result would be 3 votes to 5.
What's more, Hephaestus's respected adoptive mother, the sea goddess Thetis, had settled in Poseidon's sphere of influence.
The reason why he was able to ascend to the throne of God was thanks to the messenger Hermes who took him back to Mount Olympus.
Under pressure from all sides, Hephaestus, as the victim, had no choice but to hold his nose and let the adulterous couple go.
Of course, this matter has caused such a big stir and has not been dealt with fairly. The storm will not be settled in a short time, and Hephaestus is a well-known person with a bad temper.
So, according to Athena, the god of craftsmanship, who was the victim, still quarreled with the god of war Ares who overpowered him every now and then, and the whole Olympus was in a mess because of this.
For this reason, Athena simply decided to turn a blind eye to the incident and went down to the mortal world in advance to visit her aunt, Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, who lived in seclusion on the island of Crete.
At this moment, after hearing the whole story, Lorne was surprised that he had invisibly directed a family ethics drama, and at the same time he was saddened by the chaotic ethical relationships on Olympus.
In a sense, he seemed to have accidentally betrayed his nominal great-grandfather and great-grandmother...
“That’s not right…”
Just as Loen was trying to sort out the complicated chain of information in his mind, Hestia, who was sitting on a small stool next to him, holding a ceramic plate and cracking sunflower seeds, looked surprised.
"Bo... ahem... is the guy at the beach so kind? Besides, the kid from the Maia family is also a person who will not do anything without a profit, right?"
Since even Hestia could see this problem, Athena had nothing to hide, so she nodded unhappily and revealed more exciting news.
Everything has a price. Since Poseidon and Hermes were willing to come forward to rescue Aphrodite, they must have some ulterior motive.
The only thing that outsiders can remember about that slut is her beautiful piece of rotten flesh.
Of course, Aphrodite knew the answer well.
So, while Hephaestus was busy fighting Ares, Aphrodite, who couldn't bear the loneliness, first secretly returned to the city of Paphos in Cyprus, bathed in the sea water there, and asked the three Graces to apply ointment to her to purify her body so that she could regain her chastity. Then she went to the Sea of Oceanus and had sex with Poseidon who came out to mediate.
Later, in order to thank Hermes for his intercession, she went on to have an affair with the messenger of the god.
Athena said, a wave of nausea on her face.
Hestia, who had eaten a big melon, was also stunned and felt pity for the honest nephew with a green head.
When Loen heard about his great-grandmother's impressive fighting record, he was secretly amazed.
Oh my god, one against three? Are you so capable?
Moreover, the power of the goddess of beauty can actually be used in this way, and it also has a repair function? 666!
But with this happening, it’s no wonder that Athena ran away overnight and came to Hestia to hide away.
After all, he could do nothing but watch this disaster happen. Even if he told Hephaestus, the victim, it would only rub salt into the wound of the honest man and make him suffer greater humiliation.
In the end, this goddess of wisdom can only take care of herself and go outside to avoid being bothered by it.
After she finished speaking, Athena glanced at someone who was listening intently and snorted softly.
"Come to think of it, you seem to fit my relative's taste quite well. Would you like me to introduce you to each other?"
"Well, no need, I prefer to be faithful to one person!"
Luo En was startled and came to his senses. He laughed dryly and shook his head to refuse.
Are you kidding? Aphrodite has seen everything in this field. If the Bull King comes to plow the land, he will be squeezed dry and eaten up. I won't get involved with my small body.
Moreover, the birth of this goddess is somewhat related to Uranus, the father of heaven, and perhaps there are some unknown secrets and taboos hidden in it. Even the walking humanoid seeder of the king of gods Zeus dare not touch it easily, and there are rarely any gossips about her and Aphrodite, let alone him, a demigod.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Aphrodite had demigod lovers before, but their fate was basically to die prematurely before they could enjoy themselves for many times.
Hiss, when I think about it, this woman might really be the trouble sent by Uranus.
While Lorne was muttering in his heart about his great-grandmother who had a wide circle of friends, he sat upright with a serious expression, demonstrating his determination to not go along with the crowd.
Seeing Loen's performance, Athena, the virgin goddess, nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, she would never have thought that someone's so-called faithfulness was just one.
But, it can also be a group of...
