[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Chapter 10

As Apollo said, she grew up in his hands, loving and pampering her.He knew her too well, and every change in her could not be hidden from his eyes.

"Don't be like this, Diana." Apollo raised his hand, gently stroking the corners of her eyes and her long eyelashes with his slightly callused fingertips.Under the sun, her skin glowed like milk, which made him lose his mind for a moment.

Diana pursed her lips and confessed to him, under his gentle gaze.

"I once... became a human being."

"People who are [-] times more combative than the bronze race, [-] times more ridiculous than the silver race, and [-] times more cunning than the black iron race."

Apollo's first reaction was that she was crazy.

In the current world, the silver race is living a simple and happy life, so where are the bronze, hero, and black iron races?

But she didn't look like she was lying.

Suddenly, Apollo remembered a prophecy.

That was the prophecy he made himself, on the high altar at Delphi.When the sheepskin scroll of the prophecy was slowly opened, he saw a scene that surprised him: the text of the prophecy was cut off in the middle.This means that the future of the human world is unpredictable after going through the five ages of gold, silver, bronze, heroes, and black iron.

As for Diana, she knew about the Bronze Age of Humanity, the Age of Heroes, and the Age of Iron.

These times belong to the future.

Either Diana learned to prophesy, or she experienced the future and returned to the present.

"Diana." Apollo hugged her tightly again, his low voice echoing in her ears.

"You will always be my most beloved sister, no matter what happened. You don't want to tell me, but I respect your choice. But no matter what, please don't despise yourself, let alone give yourself up. Do you understand?"

She nodded, the tip of her nose was a little sore.

Apollo lowered his head, lovingly pinned her long hair behind her ears, and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't worry, Diana, it's all about me."

——Don't worry, everything is mine.

Diana's body froze slightly, and bursts of tearing pain came from her mind again.

【Hissing】.

A strange sound suddenly sounded at her feet, accompanied by a slight tickle as the feathers rubbed against her.She lowered her head, just in time to see a chubby little snake looking up at her innocently, puffing out two chubby wings, [hissing].

Apollo was a little surprised: "It hasn't left yet?"

The chubby little snake continued to stare at her, spitting out the snake letter hissingly, then hung its head and played with its tail after a while.

She bent down, and gently stroked the little meat snake's head.The little meat snake smiled flatteringly at her, and hissed out the snake letter.

【I can't go back, Siss】

[Princess Despora hates it the most, she brought me out, and she is not responsible for bringing me back, hissing]

[He was just born and can't speak yet, hissing]

[Beautiful goddess sister, you can communicate with animals, right?Take me home, hiss]

Apollo bent down, a little curious: "What did it say?"

She translated for him one by one, and squeezed the two small meaty wings of the little meat snake, which was full of texture.

"It turned out that it came in by mistake." Apollo chuckled, "No wonder." No wonder there was such a small non-venomous snake in the gathering of poisonous snakes last night.When the poisonous snake left with Hydra this morning, the little meat snake didn't leave either.

She picked up the little meat snake and turned to look at Apollo: "I'll send it back first. You..."

Apollo nodded with a smile.

----

Atlantis.

The sea is churning with waves, guarding this city with a history of only hundreds of years.It has to be said that this is indeed a city favored by the God of the Sea, with tall and magnificent buildings and streets paved with gold extending in all directions, no less than the holy city of Athens.

Diana hugged the feathered snake and landed in the middle of the street.

There were still people coming and going on the street, and they didn't strike up a conversation curiously, nor stopped to watch.It seems that this kind of thing is already commonplace for them.

The chubby little meat snake poked its head out of Diana's embrace, [hissing].

Diana stroked its small meaty wings and asked, "Where is your home?"

The little meat snake shook its head, happily jumped out of Diana's arms, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Alas, this is their territory.

Diana turned to leave, but suddenly saw the waves parting like torn cloth.The wave was getting higher and higher, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, until the bottom of the bottom was exposed, and it stopped.

The people around knelt down and bowed to the sea, singing obscure prayers.

She noticed that the Atlanteans all had third eyes on their foreheads.And that third eye contained a strange power.

A slender and beautiful figure came out from the bottom of the sea, holding a crown of pearls in his hands, long sea blue hair hanging down to his toes.

His fishtails had turned into beautiful human legs, and his steps were a little unsteady, but he walked towards her firmly.

Diana's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously took half a step back, alarm bells ringing in her heart.

The body of a fishtail, weeping into tears, he is Triton, the son of Poseidon.

Prince of the sea, crown of pearls, Atlantis.

Diana's face changed slightly.

She suddenly remembered the "very important thing" in Orion's mouth.

Terry walked up to the beach step by step, holding the crown, and knelt down on one knee in front of Diana.

"Please be my princess, the beautiful Diana, the moon god."

"I will rule the sea with you, live in the mighty and rich Atlantis, and be worshiped by thousands of people."

"I promise you the glory of your life. Unless the sea dries up, you will be the supreme princess of the sea world."

He spoke every word, his eyes full of sincerity.

He wanted to keep her in front of all the sea gods, using the position of Atlantis and the first princess.

Diana looked at him quietly, neither speaking nor moving.

Terry is putting pressure on her, using the three thousand sea gods to put pressure on her.

And obviously, he caught her off guard.

Princess Despora of the sea world, the feathered snake who ran away from home, Atlantis, the sanctuary created by the sea king Poseidon, the first princess of the sea world, and "supreme glory"...

She took a deep breath and showed a very shallow smile.

"But you don't love me, Prince Triton."

Her voice was calm, and she stood quietly, unmoved.

"You said, 'Promise me the glory of my life'. But as the main god, as the daughter of the king of gods, I already have the supreme glory."

"So, Prince Triton," she gently pushed Triton's hand away, "I refuse."

In front of many sea gods, even in front of the entire Atlantis, she said bluntly: I refuse.

Triton looked up, tears streaming down his face.

Incomparably huge pearls rolled down on her insteps, and slammed down on the streets paved with gold, but no one picked them up.

"Why?" He seemed to be questioning her, and he seemed to be questioning himself.

"You don't love me, Your Royal Highness." Her tone was extremely calm, "I don't need to break my vow of never marrying for a prince who doesn't love me, for the first princess I don't care about."

Now, she can basically conclude that Terry has bad intentions.

Even Poseidon, the Neptune behind Triton, has bad intentions.

Atlantis? ...

She can clearly remember that Atlantis was a true overlord of the sea, and finally because of forcing an attack on Athens, it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the anger of the gods and became an eternal legend!

And this legend was recorded in a book called "Utopia".

Moreover, if she accepts the "betrothal gift" of Atlantis, then the dowry she pays is likely to be Delphi, the center of the world under Apollo's name and the place where the oracle was issued!

She is not stupid.

----

There was an uproar in the sea world.

Olympus also caused an uproar.

But the person concerned stayed peacefully in the Tempe Valley, leaning against the palm tree, watching Apollo split the big tree with his golden sword, chop it into thin branches, sharpen it, and then spear fish in the river.

She once wanted to help Apollo, but he flatly refused.

Apollo said that since he was exiled for blood crimes, he could not accept help from anyone, including his most beloved sister.

Gods can live without eating, drinking or sleeping, but humans cannot.Even gods who have been degraded as adults are not acceptable.

She watched Apollo doing everything seriously and attentively, felt sorry for him, and was also a little proud and sad.

A raging bonfire burns on the river bank, roasting a bunch of small fish crispy and browned.The sunlight hits Apollo's tall and graceful back, giving off a healthy and sexy light wheat color.Westerners have light skin. It is estimated that Apollo got too much sun—or he was the sun in the first place to have such a beautiful complexion.

She went to sit beside Apollo, did not speak, just accompanied him quietly.

Apollo didn't seem to notice her, while waiting for the grilled fish, he was also drawing some obscure symbols on the ground.

Pebraci sequence.

Relo triangle.

Peano curve.

Klein bottle.

……

If she hadn't forced herself to study advanced mathematics, she would have thought that Apollo was just doodling.

Finally, when Apollo finished painting and was enjoying his lunch slowly and gracefully, she couldn't help asking him, "Brother, why do you keep drawing these strange symbols?"

Apollo froze and shook his head: "Don't ask, I won't tell you."

"you……"

"Don't ask me, and don't ask other main gods, especially Athena." He turned to look at her, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, but more of deep love, "Don't try to ask something you don't understand. 'Rules', otherwise, you will remain forever in the dark."

"What?" She was startled suddenly.

"When God cannot understand this world, God will fall into eternal silence." Apollo's low voice echoed in the valley.

——In the name of the moon god Diana, shed the last piece of moonlight on the world.

——My coat of arms is gone, my scepter has been reduced to powder, I am...not a god...

——When the earth revolves around the sun, the gods will fall into the dusk of eternal silence!

—My people... Magnesia, Rome, and Sparta...

——Without God’s blessing, how should you survive in this twisted world?

These were the words she heard in the Nemi Lake Temple.

This is what she said herself.

Her memory is sealed by a powerful force, and she inexplicably straddles the past and the future.

There was a dull pain in the head, and a tearing feeling came from the depths of the soul.

She heard Apollo's startled and frightened voice.

"Diana!!!"
