Chapter 277 A man plus a man? (5k)
Hearing the question, the blond handsome man outside the cell door, who had a slender figure, elegant and handsome, answered as if it was a matter of course.
"Of course I came to see you."
In an instant, Loen's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a step back to the corner, using the wall to protect his anus.
There was nothing he could do. Although he was straighter than steel, he could not resist the fun of the Greek gods, most of whom were bisexual.
If I remember correctly, Apollo had a same-sex lover.
——The son of the King of Sparta, the beautiful young man Hyacinthus.
He loved hunting and sports, so Apollo accompanied him attentively, like a servant, holding the fishing net for the boy and leading the hunting dog. One evening, the couple was playing discus throwing in the field. When Apollo threw the golden discus, Hyacinthus chased happily, but he didn't expect that the west wind god, who also loved Hyacinthus, blew the discus off the direction with his wind, and it hit the beautiful boy's head directly, causing fatal injuries.
The blood of this beautiful young man dyed the earth red, and a delicate flower bloomed from it, which is now known as the "hyacinth".
In addition, Loen's hometown, Thebes, is home to the Theban Sacred Army, which is famous for its homosexuality. He was really afraid that he would be anally raped by Apollo if he was not careful.
Seeing someone's inexplicably alert look, Apollo frowned and snorted in displeasure.
"Don't worry, our grudges were settled in Thessaly. I won't do anything to you."
Hearing the disdain implied in those words, Loen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if you dislike him, as long as you don't really like him.
Having let down his guard a little, Loen asked cautiously.
"Then come find me..."
"Didn't you visit me in Thessaly before?"
"You care about me?"
"I just don't want to owe you a favor."
Apollo rolled his eyes at Lorne in the cell, a teasing sneer appearing on his handsome face.
"Besides, it's rare that you end up being a prisoner, so of course I have to come and take a look."
When Luo En heard this, his face darkened.
Well, it seems like there is a bit of revenge in his mentality.
Previously, he brought the nine Muses to Thessaly to watch Apollo when he was in trouble. It was obvious that this guy had his eyes on him.
After all, holding grudges is an old tradition of the Greek gods.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Luo En snorted unhappily, his eyes swept over the traces of cleaning in the cell, a hint of deep teasing in his eyes, "Besides, I eat well and sleep well."
Unfortunately, Apollo did not understand the meaning of "eating" and "sleeping" from Loen's words. He just nodded, and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly.
"You told Poseidon before that we were in trouble?"
So you came to see me specifically because of this sentence?
Loen was immediately amused and asked jokingly.
"Why, are you scared?"
"Humph, I just can't figure out how you know that."
"You're so close to Poseidon, do you really think everyone is blind?"
Loen glanced at Apollo, who was looking somewhat indignant outside the prison door, and his eyes revealed a hint of contempt.
Before, Poseidon had used his demigod son Orion to plot against Artemis. In order to stand up for his sister, Apollo teamed up with Athena and others to go to the Sea of Oceanus to seek revenge. The relationship between the two sides was not that close.
Even though they were cellmates in Thessaly for seven years, Apollo and Poseidon saw each other almost every day, but rarely contacted each other.
How come they have started to move around more frequently in private since they finished serving their sentences? They must be planning something big behind the scenes!
Apollo lost his son, and Poseidon lost Atlantis. It goes without saying who the two of them are most resentful of and what they are going to do.
The above is a reasonable guess made by Athena based on the clues she observed and her thinking.
Ever since the Battle of Crete, Athena has been on guard against Poseidon's revenge, and of course she will pay more attention to the movements in the Sea of Oceanus.
As for the source of Lorne's own answer, it was even simpler.
Because this rebellion was clearly recorded in the "Theogony", although the process and number of participants were completely different, the overall direction remained unchanged.
Therefore, in the eyes of him and Athena, the conspiracy between Apollo and Poseidon was almost like running naked on the street without underwear, which could not be concealed even if they wanted to.
"However, it seems that our Divine King has not yet suspected you."
Loen smiled and continued to give him another sip of milk, to prevent the real mastermind of the rebellion from backing out.
Speaking of which, Eunuch Bo really deserves to be called the holy body that is born to take the blame.
During the Battle of Crete, he took the blame for him and Athena, and was responsible for the sinking of Crete;
Now, they were clearly a group that committed the crime, but they had to take the blame for Apollo, and Zeus found an excuse to punish them...
After several twists and turns, he lost not only his substance but almost even his face.
But there is no way around it, because His Majesty the Sea King has a wealthy family, is a big draw, is incompetent and playful, and has a long criminal record, so he always becomes Zeus's first suspect.
"But he has been exposed."
Apollo did not feel much relieved after hearing Loen's comfort.
Luo En smiled slightly and spoke leisurely.
"How many times a year has he not been exposed?"
Suddenly, Apollo slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
Yes, Poseidon's desire for the throne of the King of Gods is almost written on his face. Who in Olympus doesn't know it?
It is basically normal for him to sing a different tune at the theocratic conference every other day, make some small moves every now and then, and then flirt with different gods after a while, instigating them to rebel against His Majesty the God King.
Since Zeus would take the opportunity to punish him almost every time and strip him of some of his authority as the main god, none of the gods on Olympus took these little tricks seriously, nor did they take Poseidon seriously.
It was for this reason that the Father God, after giving Poseidon a beating as usual, immediately stopped his investigation and had no intention of investigating further.
After all, Poseidon always loses, and he always wins.
The God King of Olympus is endowed with the destiny and his position is unshakable.
But it was precisely because he won too much that the God King gradually lost his sense of danger. After striking down Poseidon, the superficial thorn, he unknowingly fell into a thinking error and ignored the real threat coming from beneath the water.
——This time, it’s not just a small fight between Poseidon and his family, but a conspiracy of seven dissatisfied gods to rebellion!
After figuring out the key, Apollo felt as if the clouds in his mind had cleared and the sun was shining, and he was in a very good mood.
That being said, they could indeed seize the opportunity to have a good “talk” with God the Father.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Even if you lose the initiative due to carelessness, you are still Zeus, the King of Olympus who is in a class of his own in terms of strength."
Loen poured a bucket of cold water on Apollo at the right time to extinguish his overly optimistic mentality, so as to prevent his brother-in-law from getting too excited and revealing his true colors, thus ruining the current good situation.
When the God of Light outside the prison door heard the reminder, his blood boiled and his heart shuddered.
Indeed, that Father God was blessed with a divine destiny and had devoured the original goddess of wisdom, Metis, making him the most powerful God-King in history.
Even if one intends to do so, it is by no means an easy task to oust him from office.
It would be the same even if the seven main gods joined forces.
Subconsciously, Apollo looked at the criminal in the cell, as if expecting an answer.
"A God King in his prime is indeed difficult to shake, but what if he is not in his prime?"
Lorne smiled slightly and spoke meaningfully.
"Remember the Battle of Typhon?"
When Apollo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he seemed to be thinking about something.
When Typhon, the great demon, broke out of Tartarus and attacked Olympus, the gods were not actually in an advantageous position.
At that time, Zeus, the most powerful king of gods, returned to his old ways. He hid the artifact [Thunderbolt] in a cave and went to have a tryst with a nymph named Pluto.
The artifact emitted smoke and sparks in the cave, radiating power all the time. At the reminder of Gaia, the Earth Mother, Typhon stole this powerful artifact and secretly hid it in another cave.
Then, it roared and broke free from the shackles of Tartarus, formally summoning gods, monsters and Titans to launch a general attack on Olympus.
Since Zeus was cheating on his wife, the gods had to unite to fight him, and Apollo naturally got involved.
It was a very tragic battle between gods. Typhon, the ancestor of the demons, fought back and forth between the four poles, spread out his serpentine hair, raised his giant arms and struck the sky. The heavens were thrown into chaos: the stars were misplaced or fell into the sea, and the sun and the moon appeared at the same time. Apollo himself was the first to fight, but his chariot was easily shot down by it. His sister Artemis then fought against it, but she was covered in wounds. The four wind gods who came to help were torn to pieces and could not be reunited for a long time.
Then, Poseidon came and raised a huge wave in the Oceanus Sea, but the water that was not even up to the waist of the monster not only had no effect, but also made it more ferocious. The demon stirred up a huge wave, cut through the waves, pulled Poseidon's chariot out of the water, caught the sea king and beat him up. The sea gods who accompanied him to the battle were terrified and fled in panic.
By the time Zeus realized the situation and rushed back to Olympus, the entire holy mountain had been nearly destroyed by Typhon and his demon army. Except for Athena who could barely hold on, no one could stop the edge of the demon.
Zeus, who joined the battlefield, was unable to fully exert the power of [Thunderbolt], [Sky] and [Thunder] because he had lost it. In the end, he was defeated by Typhon.
The situation collapsed, and the gods fled Olympus one after another, temporarily avoiding the limelight and returning to their respective holy places to accumulate strength.
After losing the first battle, the injured Zeus calmed down and began to win by strategy.
He summoned Europa's brother Cadmus, and ordered the accompanying animal husbandry god Pan to summon herds of cattle and sheep. He built a thatched hut himself, dressed Cadmus as a shepherd boy, and asked him to trick thunder back from Typhon, promising to marry him the goddess of harmony Harmonia afterwards.
Everything was ready, Zeus turned into a bull and mixed into the herd. Cadmus sat under a tree and played the reed flute. The demon Typhon was attracted by the music, so he came out of the cave where he hid the Thunderbolt and came to enjoy it. At this time, Zeus, who had turned into a bull, had taken the opportunity to sneak into the cave and take back his original artifact.
By the time Typhon realized that he had been tricked, Zeus had already recovered to his peak state with the help of [Thunderbolt] and reconvened the gods to launch a counterattack.
Finally, the king of destiny rode down from heaven on the chariot of time, using clouds as armor, thunder as shield, lightning as spear, and thunderbolt as arrow. Queen Hera held the bow on the left, and the goddess of wisdom Athena held the spear and shield on the right. Together with the gods, they completely defeated Typhon and his demon army and threw them into Tartarus to be punished.
Apollo reviewed the entire battle of Typhon, his eyes thoughtful.
"You mean, learn from the successful experience of that Demon Ancestor and prevent him from touching his own divine weapon?"
"This is your own idea. It has nothing to do with me."
Loen raised his hands and tried to distance himself from the matter. He looked innocent on the surface, but his eyes were filled with malicious intent.
Well, Apollo guessed right, this is indeed what a filial son wanted to express.
Before, Themis had used a sword that could break her divinity to cause a crack in the kingship of the God King. Zeus's power must no longer be as strong as before.
If we also try to disarm Zeus and weaken his divine power before the rebellion, the power he can exert will be greatly reduced.
In this case, if the seven main gods join forces, they may be able to bring down His Majesty the God King.
According to Homer's epic poems, the rebellion would have most likely succeeded if the three hundred-armed giants had not interfered.
Moreover, in the original history, there were only four main gods participating in the rebellion: Hera, Apollo, Poseidon and Athena, but now there are seven.
Even if Hestia gave him the godhood and he could not go to war; even if Poseidon became a solitary warrior and his divine authority was compromised, the current rebel forces are definitely stronger than the original records.
In this case, Loen doesn't mind helping these gods and coming up with a few more bad ideas to add fuel to the rebellion in Olympus.
Anyway, even if it fails, it can further force Zeus to reveal his trump card and make His Majesty the King of Gods uncomfortable.
At this time, Apollo, the rebel leader who had been completely bewitched, frowned and seriously thought about the feasibility of the plan.
"It's not easy. Ever since the Battle of Typhon, he has been very careful with his artifacts. Few people know where they are hidden."
"You can go to the three Cyclops in Sicily."
"?"
"The Thunderbolt is extremely powerful and needs regular maintenance. Moreover, they jointly created this artifact for Zeus, so they must know more secrets related to the Thunderbolt and the Aegis Shield."
Loen spoke with a smile, actively giving advice to the rebel leader in front of him.
In addition to the twelve Titans, the offspring of Uranus, the father of heaven, and Gaia, the mother of earth, also included three hundred-armed giants who were good at fighting, and three Cyclops who were good at forging.
Uranus thought they were noisy, so he locked up the three Hectopods and the three Cyclops in Tartarus.
Kronos, who overthrew Uranus, also felt that these six deformed children were quite dangerous, so he still imprisoned these brothers in Tartarus.
It was not until Zeus personally entered Tartarus to rescue these uncles and aunts in order to overthrow the rule of the twelve Titans and made a contract with them that the six Titans were able to see the light of day again and pledged their allegiance to Zeus who released them.
Today, the three hundred-armed giants squat in the primordial ocean, guarding Poseidon; the three Cyclops basically live in seclusion in volcanic areas, forging and maintaining artifacts for the gods.
Apollo glanced at someone dimly and spoke with suspicion.
"How do you know everything?"
"That's common sense, my friend."
Loen answered as a matter of course, and then threw the blame on the craftsman god.
"Besides, Hephaestus also mentioned it to me during our casual conversation."
"So that's what's going on. Hephaestus does often forge with the Cyclops, and they have a good relationship."
Apollo nodded, obviously believing the second statement more.
In Sicily?
The God of Light outside the prison door murmured, his eyes flickering faintly.
Loen felt the coldness deep in Apollo's eyes and smiled without saying anything.
In the original historical trajectory, because Asclepius violated the immortality that only the gods could master, Zeus killed the god of medicine with a thunderbolt. In order to avenge his son, the enraged Apollo shot to death the three Cyclops who forged the thunderbolt for Zeus.
It seems that in order to clear the obstacles for the rebellion, the God of Light is going to take ruthless action against the poor three Cyclops.
Although [fate] may have various deviations due to [chance] interference, it will also self-correct to a certain extent in a myriad of strange ways, achieving a kind of wonderful closed loop.
As Luo En was feeling emotional, he couldn't help but think of himself.
By the way, during the Battle of Typhon, his grandfather Cadmus helped Zeus retrieve the thunderbolt, and was rewarded for this and established Thebes.
After the Battle of Typhon, his grandson was born, and now he is assisting the rebels on Olympus to steal Zeus's thunderbolt. Is this a closed loop in another sense?
A certain filial son sneered jokingly, then looked at Apollo outside the prison door and gave him a friendly reminder.
"It's almost time. If you don't have anything else to ask, you should go back. You'd better be careful recently."
Apollo nodded subconsciously, turned and walked out of the prison, ready to go back and digest this fruitful question and answer session.
However, just as he was about to step out of the prison door, the God of Light seemed to have thought of something, stopped, turned to look at Loen in the cell, and spoke seriously.
"Wait, we will rescue you."
After saying this, Apollo never stopped again, leaving behind a handsome back and disappearing into the twilight of Olympus.
After an unknown amount of time, Loen suddenly shuddered, came back to his senses from his trance, and hurriedly reinforced a certain thought stamp in his mind.
I am straight, not crooked!
~~
The night is sleepless, the moon sets and the sun rises.
"Aa ...
The familiar sound of the cell door being pushed and pulled rang out for the sixth time.
Loen, who was squatting in the corner, opened his eyes and looked at the figure outside the cell door.
Male! Male on top of male?
At the moment of confirming the other person's gender, a certain straight man with some psychological trauma subconsciously moved closer to the corner.
But then he came to his senses, his eyes met the awe-inspiring face in the darkness, and his heart shuddered.
It's Zeus!
His Majesty the God King, who had been fooling around outside, has finally returned.
