Chapter 123 The Goddess of Contingency and Inevitability
“Please use.”
Hecate dug out the silver plate and cup, which contained some suspicious meals and liquids. .
Eros didn’t dare to guess what materials the witch’s food was made of.
Maybe there is some frog urine or snake slough, but he would not dare to eat it at all.
Looking away from the suspicious food, Eros chose to get down to business first and change the subject.
"Goddess Hecate, I made a special trip to visit this time because I heard from Nyx that you need divinity?"
Eros brought up business, Hecate Then he withdrew his gaze expecting Eros to taste it.
"Well, this is indeed the case."
Probably after getting used to it a little, Hecate's condition gradually stabilized and she was no longer as flustered and nervous as she was at the beginning.
But the hands on his legs were still clenched tightly.
“I do need some divinity.”
Hecate, she is a refugee in a sense.
In the world of Asia Minor where she was born, the noble Earth Mother Goddess Kubler controlled everything. Her behavior was cruel and cruel, which she could not bear.
In the world of Essenile not far away, the serpent Apophis is watching, and may swallow up the light at any time.
Heading to the far north, in Scandinavia, the living environment is too harsh. Conquests from the nine realms are constant, and wild hunting follows them everywhere.
In comparison, Greece can be said to be a quite livable place.
Even in the Battle of the Titans, which determined the ownership of the God King, the scale of the battle was limited to the leaders of the gods.
After Zeus came to power, as the lord of enlightened justice, the contrast with other worlds became even stronger.
So Hecate simply moved to Greece to avoid more disputes in other worlds.
As a non-Greek local god, Hecate, although she likes the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of Greece now, she also knows the importance of strength.
So she will not be like Eurynome, who has repeatedly fallen from the level of an ocean goddess.
She forcibly left behind many of her powers, and to maintain this power, she needed a lot of divine support.
I helped Demeter some time ago and she also got what she wanted.
Demeter gave her her origin as the daughter of the god of agriculture, and also gave her the priesthood as Persephone, the protector of the underworld.
But for her, the three-phase goddess, the more divinity the better.
Hearing Hecate's words, Eros nodded, reached out and took out the divinity of Perses.
"It just so happens that I have a piece of pure divinity here, Perses, the son of the Titan god Cleos."
Perses, the Titan god in charge of destruction, is just Even Eros doesn't remember what legend this guy has.
Belonging to the defeated, they are not even qualified to keep stories.
Cronos can still have faith and admirers, that's because after all, he is also the second-generation god-king, the father-god of Zeus.
Like Cleos and his family, they are purely victims.
Palas became Athena’s stepping stone, and was even considered to be Athena’s playmate who accidentally killed her when she was young.
Perses left no legend behind. Even his wife Asteria, the meteor goddess, was taken away by Zeus.
The authority of the Astraeus stars will be dismantled and divided into countless constellations and stars by Zeus.
After Eros thought for a moment, he had to feel that although the gods were immortal, in a sense, their ending would not be any better than that of humans.
Precisely because they will not die, those who come after will continue to tamper with the stories of the former, and only the winner will have the right to write myths.
But this matter has nothing to do with Eros.
Zeus is now at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. It will take an unknown number of years for Greece to fall.
Eros pushed the divinity of Perses in front of Hecate and smiled.
"This thing is of no use to me, but you happen to need it very much, so consider it as a thank you gift from me."
"I asked you to help me suppress Hades' authority before."
If you want to take something, you must give it first.
This trick is Eros’ usual routine and trick.
When dealing with a goddess with such a good personality, a little effort in the early stage will lead to greater rewards.
Hypnos always said that Eros was giving away his divinity everywhere, which was too generous.
But in fact, Eros just watched people prepare food. For example, Hypnos, Eros never mentioned giving her anything.
Because this little guy will really accept it without any psychological grudges, and then let Eros lose all his investment.
But Styx, Athena, and Hecate in front of me are not.
What Eros gets in exchange for things that he has no use for is a slight sense of debt to them, because they will feel that they have taken advantage.
Even if they were as smart as them and could figure out that this was Eros' conspiracy, their personalities would not allow them to accept this gift with peace of mind.
Sure enough, as Eros expected, Hecate was stunned for a moment and quickly declined.
“It was the goddess Nyx who helped you that day, not me.”
“And Demeter has already paid my reward, so you don’t need to give it to me anymore. "
Eros has seen this familiar scene twice, this is the third time.
It's just that there are actually some fallacies in Eros's ideas.
For example, Hecate is actually different from Styx and Athena in that her temperament is not that good. She would behave like the two of them, just because the person who told her this was Eros.
Eros wanted to try to conquer her, but he did not expect that Hecate would react like this in order to conquer him.
“I really can’t accept this.”
"It's okay, it can be regarded as an apology for my previous rudeness."
The two people, each with their own ghosts in their hearts, began to argue around the divinity of Perses.
As time passed, Hecate's body also changed silently.
Just after pushing each other for a while, Hecate had quietly begun to mature from a young girl.
Eros gradually became silent because his eyes were already attracted by other things.
The hazy gauze skirt on Hecate's body was held up. The originally loose style has now become quite tight, outlining curved lines.
This kind of picture that slowly grows from small to large, and the lines start from green to rounded, is a quite wonderful visual experience.
Eros forgot about the business for a moment and only paid attention to observing this rare scene.
Seeing that Eros suddenly stopped talking, Hecate looked curiously along his line of sight, and then his eyes fell on herself.
“Sorry, I was rude again.”
The black robe fell on Hecate's body, covering up this slowly changing wonderful scene.
“My body is changing all the time and has no fixed state, so I rarely show my true self when I go out.”
Hecate explained. , Eros’s eyes lit up even more.
Changing every moment? Eighty-year-old in one day?
Wouldn’t it be fully automatic?
Eros is very excited about this novel experience.
"It's okay, it's better to say that I should avoid it a little bit."
Eros changed the subject and stopped arguing with Hecate.
"Then since Hecate is not willing to accept it as a gift, then consider it as a reward for something I entrusted you to do."
"Huh?"
< br>
Hecate made a confused sound. She didn't know what Eros had to entrust her with.
“That’s right, I heard that you, goddess Hecate, are the goddess who represents chance and randomness, and the unpredictability of fate, right?”
What Eros said Hecate nodded in agreement.
She does have such a divinity, representing the two sides of luck and misfortune, the uncertainty and possibility of the development of things.
However, the real owner of this divinity should be Poros, the God of Opportunity, who was unable to be born and whose destiny was cut off before he was born.
As the second child that Metis should have had, Boros, the god of opportunity and creation.
He symbolizes that everything is possible, 1+1 does not necessarily = 2, and absolute things are not necessarily absolute.
It’s just ironic that the God of Opportunity was cut off from the possibility of birth by a fixed number, and became a God who would never be born.
In the face of Ananke, the Greek goddess of irreversible destiny and inevitability, all possible opportunities were wiped out.
Hecate just picked up a loophole by virtue of her status as an outsider and accepted this part of Poros's divinity.
"I need your blessing from the goddess Hecate, in terms of the contingency and randomness of fate."
Eros said slowly.
“I don’t need the blessing of luck, and I don’t want the curse of misfortune. What I want more is the existence of both and the chaos of neither.”
This is Ni A method of how to avoid Ananke, the goddess of fate, was what Kos told Eros.
If Eros continues to do things that go against the destiny, he will be targeted by Ananke like an obstacle stuck in a gear in a machine.
Things planned by Eros will fail due to various influences.
But with the help of Hecate, the luck and misfortune in Eros will be neutralized into a state of chaos.
In other words, whatever Eros originally did, a dice thrower named Ananke would secretly affect the points of the dice.
But if Hecate helps, although Ananke can still roll the dice, she will no longer be able to see what the dice she throws is.
It is a way to cover up, to prevent Eros from being targeted by Ananke, the goddess of fate after leaving the underworld.
This is also one of the reasons why Eros must have a good relationship with Hecate. He doesn't want everything to go wrong after leaving Hades.
For this reason, Hecate’s blessing and protection are also necessary.
“This?”
Hecate thought for a moment. Although Eros’s request was a bit strange, it was not impossible for her to do it.
“But don’t you really need lucky blessings?”
"That's no need. Goddess Hecate, you just need to do as I say."
Eros shook his head.
A certain one-eyed demon god taught him that 100% failure is 100% success, as long as the starting point is reversed.
The blessing of luck may not necessarily lead to good results under the influence of a certain number. Only the chaotic state that is not affected is suitable for Eros operation.
“Okay, I understand.”
I forgot the time, sorry
