Chapter 96: Zeus carefully selected, trustworthy
Eros never expected that one day he would meet these silver humans again.
There are even faces among them that I have seen in my life. At this moment, they have turned into laughing elves, running around.
They laughed happily, but Eros couldn't laugh at all.
He still remembered the longing look in their eyes when he was grilling meat in front of them.
Full of desire and passion, they began to transform from wandering clay dolls into humans, and their lives began to burn.
It’s a pity that the time was too short. In about half a month, Eros did not have time to completely change them.
But now that he saw them again in the underground underworld, Eros felt a little complicated.
“The laughing elves in the underground are really laughing all the time.”
Eros’ tone was a little complicated.
These silver humans have become even less human than they were before they were alive.
Not just the form of existence, but also the state of mind.
They completely lost their physical desires and turned into elves who only knew laughter and play.
“Isn’t this good?”
Hades looked at the laughing elves who were playing, his tone even a little envious.
"There is no need to worry or think about anything. There are no unnecessary worries and desires. Even God may not be as happy as them."
Eros had to agree with this.
"Indeed, if you are a normal person, you should envy their mental state and life, right?"
There are no worries or worries, just play happily all day long.
Who doesn’t want to live such a life?
But unfortunately, Eros is not in the category of normal people.
“I just think that their lives like this are meaningless.”
Eros sighed.
“The meaning of laughter does not lie in the laughter itself, but in what you laugh for.”
“Blind and without reason, just because you are such an elf, you will keep laughing. .”
"That's fine if they are natural elves. I feel a little uncomfortable when I think that they were once human beings."
Eros is not a kind and kind person. He does not care about the survival of human beings because of his personal emotions. and life and death.
The words of respect for individuals that I once told Hera were just words used to increase my favorability.
He is a person who will do anything based on his preferences and desires. Whether he is a superman or a citizen of the motherland, there is always the possibility of uncertainty.
The only thing that is certain is that Eros likes things full of love and romance.
He likes to see people working hard for something, even if the obstacles that hinder them are set by him.
He will ignore the death of other lives, whether the other party accepts it calmly or struggles until the last moment before death.
The emotions and thoughts contained in the attitudes of different lives towards death are what Eros likes to see.
Just like he likes to pursue beautiful goddesses, each goddess is different and has a different attitude towards him.
The different emotions contained in it are what Eros likes most, not just lust.
Therefore, these laughing elves who have no desires, which means no emotions, are the least interesting things to Eros.
Even if Eros kills their companions with a sword, they will not understand the emotions of loss and death, and they will still laugh endlessly.
If they were just born for this, Eros wouldn't think anything of it.
But unfortunately, these are the creatures transformed by the original silver humans.
This made Eros recall, if he had not met Zeus, would he have turned into a laughing elf like these silver humans?
Thinking about it, Eros couldn't accept it. He would rather be found guilty and thrown into the River Styx to float.
It would be better to crawl out of the River Styx in the end and wander around as a sinful soul.
Now Eros probably realizes the importance of the name that Nyx said.
He is Eros, not only the original god who represents love in the theogony, but also Eros who represents the source of power of the world in Orpheus.
Whether it is humans, gods, or other beings, only with desire and passion can they transform and influence the world.
It is because of this impulse and desire that Phanes will tear apart the world egg, be born from chaos, and create this world.
"Sure enough, it is absolutely impossible to live without love."
Eros suddenly muttered this, making Hades a little confused.
What does he mean by suddenly saying this?
“If you don’t like it, I will move them elsewhere.”
But Hades saw that Eros didn't like these laughing elves very much, so he simply said so.
"That's not necessary, it's just a little emotional."
Eros shook his head and no longer cared about these laughing elves.
Just think of them as growing out of the ground. At most, their faces look familiar.
Now there are new humans on the earth who are more perfect, perhaps weaker, and living a more painful life than them.
In Elysium, Hades brought Eros to her place of residence in the underworld during this time.
A somewhat gloomy girl walked out of the hut, carrying a strong aura of the underworld.
"Lord Hades, are you back?"
Her face was originally filled with a joyful smile, but after seeing Eros and Persephone, her smile changed. Becoming a little stiff.
"Mingta, please welcome my guests."
Hades ordered naturally.
The person in front of her is the only nymph maid beside her, Mingta, the daughter of the god Cokutus of the Weeping River.
She left Mount Olympus and came to the underworld alone, without any other nymphs. She met Mingta in the underworld, and he was also her first teammate in the underworld.
"Lord Hades, who are they?"
Whether it was the handsome Eros or the dazzling Persephone, Mingta felt something bad in his heart.
Compared with these two people, her originally confident appearance seemed mediocre.
"This is my friend and guest, Eros. Don't neglect him just because he is a human being."
Eros looked at the maid in front of him, rummaged, and finally remembered from his mind Who is the other party?
It seems that he was the lover of Hades. He was dissatisfied that Persephone had become the Queen of the Underworld, and he went around claiming that he was nobler, more beautiful, and more favored by Hades.
In the end, it will either be turned into mint by Persephone, or it will be reduced to ashes by Persephone, and mint will grow inside the ashes.
In short, it’s the lower end.
It’s hard not to wonder if the Greeks were too high on mint when they made up this story, so Minta was on the low end.
But now Eros probably understands what's going on.
Purely treating her as Hades's lover is the bottom line.
But now it was obvious that Minta was the one who came first, and Persephone was the one who came.
Eros instantly felt a sense of fun, wanting to watch Hades's Shura show.
"Then this one."
Hades brought Persephone over, with a happy smile on his veiled face.
"She is the mistress of the underworld that I have chosen, and she is also the master you will serve in the future. You must not forget her."
Sure enough, after Hades said these words.
Eros saw Mingta’s already somewhat gloomy pretty face, and his expression became even darker.
But she still had to force a smile in front of Hades, pretending not to care.
"Well, Master Hades, you really did a lot of things when you went out this time. You must be very tired, right?"
The little nymph maid listened, but not completely listen.
She brushed off what Hades said, and then found a reason to do other things.
"Sorry, my place is a little too simple."
After Mingta withdrew, Hades smiled apologetically at the two of them.
Honestly, if I hadn’t just seen her robbing Lolita Persephone and fighting with Demeter and the others.
Eros didn’t believe anything. The gentle and tolerant beauty in front of him would be Hades, the King of Hades.
Although she does have a strong scent of death and pomegranate flowers, she is also dressed like a black bride of the dead.
But her character is really hard to dislike.
Just like the gentle widowed sister next door, she always carries a touch of sadness, but is very gentle and tolerant of what you do.
If he had not become the Queen of the Underworld and had to stay in the underworld, Eros would have been moved.
But this made Eros a little confused. Why did Hades and Demeter have to fight to the point of life and death?
With a personality like hers, she should be the kind to retreat silently and not cause trouble to others.
If you have questions, ask them.
Eros, who suffered a loss in this regard, will never make the same mistake again.
After he sat down, he asked Hades directly:
"Actually, I am very strange, why do you have to have Persephone? Really? Do you like her that much?”
"Are you recommending yourself?"
Hades took off his veil and some extra accessories, revealing a face that was somewhat similar to Zeus, and raised his eyebrows at Eros.
"Did I see it wrong just now? You actually like me quite a bit?"
"If that were true, I wouldn't have said it was a joke at the time."
Okay, I take it back, this guy can’t tolerate everything.
She is still a bit evil.
"If you say this, it will make me feel that you are lusting after my body."
Eros said righteously.
"I think we should start as friends and find feelings for each other."
Mingta, who was bringing things up from the side, gave a fierce pout.
What's going on? Just going out for a trip, why do you feel like you are the enemy of the whole world now?
Eros glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and clicked his tongue twice in his heart.
There is no doubt that this child is destined to be a loser.
No matter from any angle, she is incomparable to Persephone.
In terms of appearance, origin, and even in terms of personality, Persephone, who is simple and easy to deceive, is more suitable than her.
The first wife must be a generous and tolerant person, and Hades seems to be very clear about this.
"Greedy for your body? That's not impossible."
Hades had a smile in his eyes and did not notice Mingta's gaffe.
“I’m also curious about what the criteria are for Zeus’s strict selection.”
I discovered that in Greek mythology and philosophy, the motivation and impulse from people are held in high regard.
In the ancient versions of Orpheus, Eros was even the father of Phanes, who created the world.
This may be why Greek mythology is full of human colors.
