Hera’s Modern Life - Chapter 3
There is no doubt that my husband is a nasty guy who pretends to be self-willed. Speaking of his glorious deeds … sorry, besides constantly looking for women and having children, does he have any so-called glorious deeds? Well, at the time he overthrew our father’s rule and created a new era of myth with the support of our mother and other gods. I will honestly admit that this is quite remarkable. After all, at that time, he was just a little buttock and he was weak. It can make so many gods who fear Kronos agree and obey, and defeat many Titan giants by themselves. This is not just sitting there and moving the mouth.
I still remember the scene when I first saw Zeus. Human-made stories claim that several of our brothers and sisters have been swallowed by Crolos, so just listen to them. In fact, we are only confined in a hole in the sky. Although I think it ’s not bad to stay in the cave, at least I do n’t have to be afraid of being hit by Gaia and Crolos, but the local cave was opened and I was very happy when the sun came in. Because Poseidon’s always trying to grab others’ hair is really annoying. He has always resented the color of his hair and has since hated anyone with dark hair.
“I am your younger brother, Zeus, and I am here to save you.”
Zeus was covered with blood all over his body. He couldn’t find any intact place on his body. His face was almost beaten with a pig’s head. I don’t think this scene was mentioned in the human story. But no matter how long in the past, I will always remember his dazzling blond hair shining in the sun.
It ’s ridiculous to think about it. In such a short moment, I thought I saw the world ’s only great god, eternity, perfection, or any other messy words of praise scrambling into my mind, and deeply thought that I had this A brother feels unparalleled pride. This inexplicable feeling continued until I saw him reach into Demeter’s skirt.
Right now, this unparalleled god, the only king in the world, my brother, my husband, and the father of my child, are looking at me with a confounded expression on their face, as if they do not understand the words just now. the meaning of. I looked at his face, still younger than twenty-five years old, and speculated maliciously when he seriously thought about the last time. Cough, you know, my husband doesn’t belong to the mind group-“What, there are enemies, it’s great, take weapons and destroy them!”-This is his usual style. The guy who likes to play tricks and tricks should be Poseidon.
“Wh- what? What do you mean?”
In the gap between my silence, he seemed to understand slowly, the confusion began to change into anger, and the voice became rough, no longer the dandy dandy, “Hela, don’t you really want to be human To marry another man! ”
I said slowly, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Of course not!” He yelled. If we are not hiding now and staying on the empty seaside, he will surely attract a lot of white eyes. “This is a shameless betrayal to me!”
“…” Who is the shameless one of us? He even said this with a loud face, and I was so angry that I almost passed out. A lot of new hatred and old hatred rushed into my heart together, and I wanted to give him a flash of light. But thinking of this kind of power was also given to me by him. As a goddess, she actually had little power, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
“Remember your identity and don’t do anything that would embarrass me. You are the queen, you are my wife!”
He still said that he specially emphasized his wife.
“Yes, I am the queen, and I am also your wife, but can you decline this supreme glory now? Thank you!”
I couldn’t choose words, the words buried in my heart suppressed for thousands of years, and I stunned, but I was not so frightened as I expected, but there was a sense of relief.
“You-what do you mean-”
Zeus paused for a few seconds, then asked word by word. His expressionless face was not handsome at all, but rather terrifying. Although he had never beaten me, but under his amazing pressure, I couldn’t help but took a step back and almost wanted to deny it. However, my self-esteem prevented that kind of begging.
“The meaning is very clear. Since you announced to everyone that I am not worthy of being a god, and you always feel that I am becoming more and more obtrusive, why should you get me back? It ’s better to forget it. Have a status, and find a woman who likes not to obscure. ”
I seriously said that he frowned for a long time and suddenly laughed suddenly.
“Honey, are you still worried about this? Yes, I was too impulsive to make you lose face in front of everyone, but look, now I am not coming down to meet you in person? Can you please let me There is only one woman who greets you personally, that is you, Hera, my only wife, my dear sister. Well, do n’t let me be capricious any more, although I have to say that this look is much more cute than you who are always cold We still have a lot to do. ”
He thought he understood me, but this was just a routine of jealousy and blame, and he stretched out his arms to hold my waist, but it was opened by me.
“I’m not kidding, I mean, Zeus, I don’t want to be your wife anymore, I want to continue to be a mortal.”
With that said, I restored the form of the goddess and took off the symbolic status of the **** from my head. The crown that he personally brought back to him that year was handed to him.
“You’re crazy!” He yelled angrily, “I want to abandon the identity of God to be a mortal! Do you know that once you lose your divine power, you are just an ordinary human being, you will get sick and hurt, and even die old? ! Do you just want to die and go to the underworld that never ends! ”
“Hades is better than Olympus.”
He was trembling with anger at my answer, because no one ever dared to disobey him face to face. I still remember what happened to the guy who disobeyed him last time. Zeus never had a gentle relationship with kindness.
“You are the goddess in charge of marriage! Are you afraid of being laughed at by other gods!”
“If I lose my divine power, I will no longer be a goddess. And, have you been ridiculed by other gods before?”
Seeing that he was reluctant to take the crown made of gold and precious stones, I put it on the beach. In the past, I was always afraid of angering Zeus to lose his identity as a god, and there was always only the practice of Zeus getting rid of women and no woman. No one has stipulated that you should not take the initiative to abdicate when you are unwilling to continue to be a god.
“This thing, give it to anyone you like, I don’t want it.”
After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, but was sullenly stopped by him.
“Hera, when you said you wanted to have an equal position with me and have power, I satisfied you and gave you anything that the supreme goddess did not have. Now you suddenly feel out of your mind and say no, just do n’t, you are Are you fooling me? ”
“Don’t dare, if you think it is, you can punish me more severely, such as punishing me to go to the top of the sky or pushing the stone to roll the hillside or something, or cutting the belly and hanging on the edge of the cliff called the vulture to eat, These techniques are pretty good. ”
I replied with a smile on my face, but in fact my heart was at a loss. Zeus might be really angry to do so. Without the crown that symbolizes the god, and the human body, my divine power is less than half of the original. If you cut your belly, you should die.
His eyebrows grew higher and higher, his eyes darkened, and even a sizzling electric flower appeared in his hand. I think he will be unable to bear a lightning strike in the next moment. Then he suddenly sighed and returned to calm.
“Well, I know, you are angry.”
He said bluntly, and then picked up the crown that was thrown on the ground, ignoring my resistance and pressed it up again.
“The things I send out are never withdrawn. When I propose, I swear to Styx that you will always be my only wife. This oath will not change, and no one will replace your status and identity as your god. . ”
“I’m not–”
He increased his strength and prevented what I wanted to say.
“It looks like you are in a bad mood, maybe it’s not time to say this. If you feel that being a person for a while will be happier, then you should be a person first. When you think about it, let’s talk about it again. . ”
I also wanted to protest, and wanted to argue that this was not a joke, but his movements and momentum all revealed a gesture of refusing to talk. With a sigh, this is the most sincere concession for Zeus. He has always been accustomed to burning and disobeying the disobedient guy, rather than dryly saying something close to apology.
“Okay, Zeus, what you say is what.”
Looking down, I decided that I would not “talk” with him for fifty years. As for what would happen after my life as a human being ended, I was too lazy to think about it.
“But the wedding is not allowed! You are not allowed to interact with any man except me.” He said bitterly, then suddenly gave a high-five, “Yes, although I can’t stare at you all the time, but someone can. Don’t think about marrying other men! ”
“Wait!”
Probably guessing what he was going to do, I hurriedly protested loudly, but he already snapped his fingers.
“Hermes.”
A breeze blew, and a black-haired and dark-eyed boy appeared in front of us. He was wearing a shirt and vest with a very English academic style. Underneath were the same-color trousers and headphones on his head. If I hadn’t seen two pairs of small wings struggling on the casual shoes he was wearing, I could hardly recognize the confidant of Zeus.
“Just follow your orders, my master.”
He respectfully greeted Zeus, and then saluted me again: “Hera, long time no see.”
“Hermes, before Hera did not return to Olympia, you stayed by her side and took good care of her, got it.”
Zeus said very seriously, but I can guarantee that Hermes absolutely understood what he meant. He gave me a surprised look, but then bowed his head.
“Of course, Zeus. Your wish is my order.”
“I’m gone, Hera, when you think about it, remember to call me, you know how.”
He finished speaking hurriedly, and then a clatter of golden lightning disappeared in place, leaving Hermes and I standing on the spot.
“… Hermes, you look like your son’s son …”
Staring at the angel who is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, I can’t believe it.
He smiled modestly: “Because now I am in high school in human school … You know, most of the time, the great Zeus will not control our little private pleasure. Although the world is black and white, but it is better than Olympi It ’s much more interesting. Everyone thinks the world in the twentieth century is more … subtle than before. ”
“Don’t tell me that all the gods on Olympus have slipped out.” I said to myself, but when I thought about the Trojan War, didn’t all the gods come out to join in the fun, and in the end, they themselves Fighting is more powerful than the warring human army.
“If you don’t mind, I want to leave for a while. You are now an Oriental, so I think it is necessary to go through a transfer procedure before applying to your country.”
Hermes politely interrupted my memories. I was a little surprised that he still obeyed human rules. He seemed to see what I was thinking, smiled gently, and took out a cane that also had small wings.
“It’s sometimes fun to be a human, right, respectable Hera, what kind of status do you think is better for me? How about your cousin abroad? I am very good at modifying memories.”
