Greece brings evildoers

However, half an hour later, as the vague sense of voyeurism around him completely disappeared, Lorne couldn't help but raise the corners of his tight mouth, and his originally gloomy face revealed a playful smile.

It seems that the three-phase goddess Hecate is not the original Nyx, but a part that split from it. Therefore, she can also be regarded as the daughter of Nyx, and presumably the same is true for the [Three Goddesses of Destiny].

As the incarnation of order, the birth of Hecate and the three goddesses of destiny cannot naturally be the reproduction of the sexes in the traditional sense, but a kind of "self-fission" of the subject based on some reason.

For example, in Greek legend, after the penis of the heavenly father Uranus fell into the sea, the waves stirred up and the divinity escaped turned into Aphrodite, the goddess of love;

After Medusa was killed by the demigod hero Perseus, the giant Chrysaor was conceived from her divinity;

Stheno and Euryale chased the murderer all the way, and after being injured, the blood spilled on the earth turned into a poisonous snake in the desert...

The above examples are enough to show that Nyx, who is revered as the supreme goddess in Dionysianism, is probably the embodiment of rules, similar to a [supercomputer] that manages the world.

However, because Zeus surpassed the destiny, there was a logical BUG.

During self-repair, the original system is split into two parts.

The three main goddesses of destiny agreed to choose Zeus as king and were determined to maintain a certain development.

Different from the opinions among them, Hecate, who represented [possibility], was regarded as a [virus] and split away.

In this world dominated by fate and fate, one of the two sides is the inevitable [inevitable] trend of the general trend, and the other is an extremely small [accident].

The result of the struggle is self-evident.

As the victors, the [Three Goddesses of Destiny] became the masters of the earth, ocean, sky and life, and were enshrined by Zeus.

From the perspective of traditional Eastern concepts, the relationship between the two parties is more like the relationship between "Heaven" and "Emperor".

One is behind the scenes and the other is in front of the stage.

Hecate was driven to the underworld, although she maintained a transcendent status because of Zeus's respect and fear.

But this is no different from those prisoners in the hell of Tartarus.

Hecate, who was born rebellious, naturally could not give up.

Therefore, she used Nyx's authority to take the lead in creating three servant gods - Charon, the god of sleep, Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death, and ordered them to "assist" Hades, the king of Hades, in managing the underworld.

If the above-mentioned secret methods cannot prove the woman's intention to evade Hades.

Then, Lorne can continue to bring out some evidence of stone hammer.

Her goddaughter, Persephone, the goddess of spring, became Queen of the Underworld.

Her disciple, the great witch Circe, is not only the owner of the island of Ayo, but also the legendary gatekeeper who leads the dead at sea into the underworld.

The disciple of her disciple, the great witch Medea, is the queen of the legendary [Pure Land], and another translation of the Pure Land is the [Elysee Garden] that symbolizes heaven.

…

One of the above may be a coincidence, but the three of them put together definitely have ulterior motives.

Besides, she and the three goddesses of destiny never stopped

——Poros, the legendary son of Metis, the never-born brother of Athena, and the god of opportunity:

——Zagoreus, the legendary reincarnation of Poros, the son of the Queen of the Underworld, the god of resurrection from the dead;

——Dionysus, the legendary reincarnation of Zagreus, son of Semele, god of resurrection and death...

These three [possibilities] that should have replaced Zeus as the King of Gods are Hecate's three attempts to fight against fate.

But judging from the follow-up in the myth, all three attempts failed.

Even Dionysus, the most promising god of wine, was burned to death in the fire together with his mother before he was born.

Based on Lorne's personal experience and understanding of Zeus.

He estimated that Zeus's so-called "fatherly love" that rescued Dionysus from his mother's body and then sewn it into his thigh might also have ulterior motives.

Devouring parents and children is an old tradition inherited from the Titan King Cronus.

Siblings Athena and Poros, who were eaten before they were born, enjoyed this treatment. In the end, only Athena, who could not inherit the throne, was allowed to be born.

Similarly, Zeus sewed Dionysus into his thigh, probably using a similar method to eliminate the baby's threat to his position as king of gods.

And, he clearly succeeded.

Otherwise, Hecate would not have chosen to abandon Dionysus, a future destined to fail, in that resurrection match, and place her hopes on him, an extraterrestrial soul.

Lorne even suspected that the reason why his soul came to this world was because of Hecate's little actions.

——She is the goddess who controls the souls of the dead and guides the way.

——A soul that is not involved in the calculation of fate is just the chess piece she needs.

Therefore, chance is also inevitable, everything is within the woman's plan.

As thoughts surged, a cold color flashed in Lorne's eyes.

Compared to his apparent opponent Zeus, he was more wary of Hecate.

This woman was secretive from the moment they met. First, she borrowed the identity of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld (see Chapter 3 for details), and then used the threat of death and the lure of rewards to gradually push him onto the gambling table. , in opposition to the Olympian gods.

Although their goals and interests are the same for the time being.

But according to Greek family tradition, it was difficult for Lorne to guarantee that after knowing such a secret, he would be disposed of and killed over time.

only……

Lorne picked up the twelve-sided dice again, gently let go, and let the [accidental] dice roll and rotate on the table, and the corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant arc.

You want to use me as a [variable] to overthrow Zeus and the [Three Goddesses of Destiny] and regain Nyx's original power.

By coincidence, I want it too!

Before the trump card is revealed, the outcome is unknown...

Let's see, who among us can have the last laugh!

At this moment, the spinning dice on the table stopped making strange noises, and Lorne lowered his head subconsciously, his eyes falling on the patterns of petals.

——Aphrodite points again?

——Isn’t this a reminder that if I want to win, I should seize the opportunity to make her into a flannel ball?

A strange thought flashed through Lorne's mind, and the four words "Jockey Mian Zu" could not help but appear in Lorne's mind.

But according to seniority, Hecate should be considered the [ancestor]?

[Teacher]'s words...

~~

"Ah sneeze!"

At the same time, in the corridor of the Colchis Palace, a petite witch with pointed ears sneezed heavily.

Strange, why do you have a bad feeling?

curse?

Damn it, who dares to attack your aunt behind your back! See if I look back and don’t curse you to death!

Circe buried her head in the corridor, sometimes gnashing her teeth, sometimes muttering darkly, sometimes smiling...

The maids and patrolling guards who were going in and out all around saw her changing expression and the unique eagle wings behind her, and they all became frightened and took a detour.

This is the distant sister of King Aeetes of Colchis, a witch from the island of Ayo in the sea.

As Queen Ideia was about to give birth, the king was somewhat worried about the safety of the mother and child, so he specially summoned his sister who was proficient in witchcraft and healing to prepare for any eventuality.

——The goddess Hecate she believes in has the authority over the birth of babies and the education of children, so she is also the patron saint of babies in another sense.

And since Circe arrived and cast the spell, the queen's transition from expecting to giving birth went very smoothly.

"Wow~~!"

A quarter of an hour later, with the clear cry of a baby in the delivery room, the busy maids and midwives inside and outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and handed the healthy infant princess into the hands of the king.

But before the handover was successful, Circe, who rushed into the delivery room, excitedly grabbed the swaddling clothes and looked at the newborn baby again and again.

However, a newborn baby has a very short neck, a large head, wrinkled skin, and a head of sparse and messy lanugo hair. It is not "cute" or "beautiful" at all.

Therefore, Circe only held it for a few seconds before throwing it to her brother who was the king in disgust.

"Like a skinned little mouse, so ugly..."

Hearing the witch's muttering, several midwives explained with a smile.

"Your Highness the Princess is still young. When she grows up, she will naturally become beautiful."

Hearing this, Circe nodded thoughtfully, and immediately regained her interest and looked at her brother the king.

"Hey, Aeetes, have you figured out what to call her?"

Although the king of Colchis looks tall and rough, he usually sows dragon fang soldiers at festivals and fights with them as a sacrifice to Ares, the god of war.

But facing the seemingly petite and weak sister in front of him, due to the gap in strength, he had no temper at all and honestly said the name he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Medea..."

"Well, it's a nice name."

Circe complimented him very perfunctorily, then rolled his eyes and spoke leisurely.

"She has good qualifications and is very suitable for learning witchcraft. I will live here for a while. After the lactation period, I will take her back to Ayo Island and officially accept the inheritance of Lord Hecate."

Upon hearing his sister's proposal, the King of Colchis immediately nodded in agreement, even wishing that he had to wait for his daughter to finish breastfeeding before stuffing his daughter into her.

The people of Colchis have martial and aggressive blood flowing in their bodies, and they highly respect Ares, the god of war.

And Hecate can not only intervene in the birth of babies, but also control the education of children and youth. She can make her daughter a direct disciple of the goddess of witchcraft and a qualified witch, which the King of Colchis dreamed of.

After completing the communication, Kerr nodded with satisfaction, took the newborn niece from his brother again, and looked at it carefully.

This time, it seemed that driven by a psychological effect, the little wrinkled thing in my arms felt so pleasing to the eye.

After some inspection, Circe poked the baby's cheek and couldn't help but murmur.

"Still not as cute as him..."
