Chapter 61 The Death of Hera?

cloud.

While mortals were still arguing about his appearance, Hephaestus had already arrived at the destination of his trip.

It is located near Mount Olympus. Standing in the clouds, you can see the Temple of the Sun on the mountainside in the distance through the hazy clouds.

As the sun sets, Helios, the sun god who drives the chariot of the sun to bring light to the world, is rushing back to his temple to end today's busy work and prepare for the next day's work.

After successfully inheriting his father's position, Helios was delighted at first.But soon he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

He often felt that the sun chariot given to him by the god of fire, Hephaestus, might be a fake artifact.

Even with the blessing of this artifact, it still takes a lot of effort for him to walk in the sky.

After a busy day during the day, I have no mood and energy to do other things at night.

He felt that he was living like a mortal, working during the day and resting at night so that he could continue working the next day, and the long time passed by like this.

He wants to jump out of this vicious circle, but finds that there is no way to start. He must have all of fatigue and power, or throw them all away.

He woke up, too late.

Down below, Hephaestus came for him, to be precise, for his identity of spying on the world openly.

Under the cover of clouds and mist, he descended to another peak next to Olympus, and no god noticed his approach.

As the caster of the sun chariot, Hephaestus may know his habit of surveying the sky better than the sun god Helios himself. No matter how he dangles in the sky, this mountain is his return to Mount Olympus. must pass through.

Every evening, the peaks of this high mountain are bathed in the brilliance of the sun, as if stepping back in time and still at noon.

It's always been like this, no accidents.

Pulling a piece of cloud and mist as a quilt, Hephaestus suspended and lay flat above the mountain peak, entering a half-dream and half-awake state.

He wants to use the power of the sun to explore some things.

Since the battle with Hades, his relationship with his biological mother Hera has been repaired a lot.

These days, Hera often comes to Lemnos as a guest, and has become one with the surrounding sea gods.

As the master of marriage, she seems to have 'accidentally' forgotten Aphrodite, 'accidentally' forgotten the sacred marriage she had witnessed.

Anyway, Hephaestus never heard her mention it.

On the contrary, when she was with Clotho and Aglaia, she would show the smile of a mother looking at her daughter, and her ears would become particularly soft.

It's just that when she looks at the two of them occasionally, there will be distress in her eyes that she can't make a choice.

Hephaestus didn't know what she was worrying about, so he asked Cloto and Aglaia, and the two showed a strange understanding, deliberately avoiding his question.

Hephaestus was at a loss, as if... he was rejected?

Isn't his attitude obvious enough?

He overheard a conversation between his biological mother Hera and his adoptive mother Eurynome.

Hera complained to Eurygnomo: "The bottom line of marriage and the happiness of children are so entangled. How should I choose?" Her best friend Eurygnomo's cheerful laughter answered her.

Hephaestus felt that this sentence was quite good at the time, and instinctively remembered it.

Unfortunately, there is no feeling, and the rest is meaningless.

In the later days, every time Hera came, her relationship with everyone would get closer.

Because every time she comes, there will be a 'gift' that can barely be loaded with four flying horses.

Then, under the envious and expectant eyes of the surrounding sea goddesses, they landed on the island, and with a wave of their hands, the "gifts" were scattered in the sea, triggering a burst of joyful upsurge.

But at the same time, every time she comes, it will cause Hephaestus to feel intense anxiety and panic. As the relationship between mother and child becomes closer, this feeling of anxiety becomes stronger.

The god's dreams and premonitions are by no means groundless, something bad must happen to the birth mother Hera!

Hephaestus never mentioned this matter to anyone.

But he still went to check the first time.

But when he stood on the throne of history and scanned the past and the future, he failed to find any clues.

This is very suspicious, no problem is the biggest problem.

But the question came immediately, who could quietly set up a trap for Hera?Who can guarantee that this round will be a success?
He is the small group of people standing at the top, and Hephaestus is well aware of the difficulty.

There are only so many people at the top of the pyramid. Everyone knows the basics and is prepared for each other. He thinks that someone can defeat him, but he will never fall without any signs.

Unless, that unknown god is hiding in the dark and has not shown up for hundreds or even thousands of years, so long that everyone has forgotten him, so naturally he will be negligent.

Hephaestus was very curious about who he was, and what conflicts he had with his mother Hera, and it was worth spending so long on it.

Lying flat and suspended on the top of the mountain, Hephaestus couldn't wait to use the brilliance of the sun to peek into the whole world and find out who was behind the scenes.

He wants to see how many careerists are hidden in this narrow world, and how many secrets that even he cannot know.

The neighing of horses was heard from the sky, and Hephaestus waited patiently for Helios to drive the chariot of the sun to pass directly above him.

A question suddenly flashed in his mind: "I have just stepped into the threshold of powerful divine power. Can the hasty and crude arrangement really hide the truth from the mother who is in charge of marriage authority?"

Before he had time to think about it, the chariot of the sun had just passed directly above him, and endless rays of light sprinkled on the mountain peak.

This process is only a short moment.

Hephaestus seized the opportunity, and a thought was connected with the sun chariot.He is the caster of the Sun Chariot and the real owner, so he has this right.

The afterglow of the setting sun that sprinkled the earth became his eyes in an instant, helping him to look at every corner of the world openly and sized up every god.

In the eyes of Hephaestus, the whole world is going back crazily, and the past of this world has been penetrated by him.

Secret, unrecorded stories also surface.

With the past as a support, the future is more clearly visible.

In an instant, he fell asleep.

He saw it.

In the dream, Hera was walking on the ground without any precautions. Two spears suddenly came out from the ground not far from her, one pierced her heart and the other pierced her head.

She lay in a pool of blood.

As time passed, a vague female figure appeared beside Zeus, sitting on Hera's queen throne.

She is laughing!
On the mountain peak, Hephaestus suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at Mount Olympus not far away.

A new moon is slowly rising from the mountainside, and its cool light is filling the earth.
