Chapter 201 Choose, die here, or become mine.
As we all know, the more mixed-race and hybrid you are, the stronger your potential is.
Io herself is a hybrid of the two mythical worlds of Essenile and the Greek Aegean.
Her father is both a god and a human being. Although her mother is not sure, she should be the priest of Hera in the city.
Not only inherited the divinity and human part from Inachus, but also was guided by Zeus and bestowed with a more noble divinity.
Although the period of being imprisoned by Hera in the Holy Land was very uncomfortable, he was also invisibly infected by Hera's aura.
There is no doubt that Io has initially met Zeus's requirements.
A girl who is mixed with various divinities and auras, her potential is gradually stimulated, and she can grow into the Nine Pillars of Heliopolis.
Although in terms of family background, Yi'e is not very noble now.
But there is no doubt that she already has the potential to be no less than any god on Mount Olympus.
But this kind of thing is not important for now.
Eros nodded, just confirmed what Io said, and continued.
“So after knowing this, you already know that what Zeus did was not intended to torture you.”
“She is sharpening you, trying to cultivate you to the point where she is. The degree of need."
"But it is not a beautiful thing after all."
After listening to Eros' explanation, Yi'e closed her eyes and shook her head.
“The so-called tempering and training, but they never asked me for my opinion. They just brought this kind of thing to me without authorization.”
“I know that God There is no need to care about the feelings of mortals, they are great and noble people sitting in the clouds."
"But as a mortal who has been played by gods, I cannot convince myself to forgive and accept this fact."
“Even if this matter is labeled as tempering and training, in my opinion it is still something unforgivable.”
In a calm tone, but with a hint of anger hidden inside, Yi'e expressed her thoughts.
She understood everything Eros said, but she couldn't understand it just because she understood it.
And she will not endure it like others, because it is given by God, and she accepts it with joy regardless of disaster or blessing.
She is still a minor child, far from mature, and her respect for God is not that deep.
What's more, a large part of the reason for his father's death was also because of this incident.
Otherwise, Inachus would not have died so quickly, and his life could last for a while like a slow hourglass.
So, Yi'e has a little hatred.
However, Eros did not feel distressed because of her unforgiveness.
On the contrary, he laughed, and laughed heartily.
“You are right, you really shouldn’t forgive, these things are just unintentional disasters for you.”
“People don’t care whether the whetstone hurts, they only care whether it can sharpen their swords.”
“The value defined by God is not necessarily the value that people want. , This is normal.”
Of course Eros will laugh. No matter what Io thinks, whether he accepts this fate or resists and is angry, he will not refute it.
It's just that rather than suppressing herself and obeying the gods' acceptance, Eros really prefers to see her obey her heart and express her indignation at this fate.
This gradually igniting anger and hatred, the uncontrollable emotions and thoughts, is what Eros likes to see the most.
"What about you? What do you think?"
Io, who calmed down a little, but her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, looked at Eros.
“Me?”
Eros touched his chin and thought for a moment. "If you look at it from a personal perspective, I actually support it. I support not only your anger and hatred towards them, but also Zeus's plan."
"No matter which side it is, things will be interesting."
As a bystander, Eros can take on the two perspectives of gods and humans, the rulers and the ruled.
So he neither thinks there is a problem with Io's idea nor that there is a problem with Zeus's idea.
But this is just ideological neutrality.
“But if I have to do it, I should help Zeus, right? Although in fact, it’s the same if I don’t help.”
Eros did not shy away from telling this fact to Io.
"After all, you also know that I have a good personal relationship with Zeus. I will help her both in public and private matters and train you to become a better person."
While saying After finishing these words, Eros ignored Io's movement to speak and continued.
“Besides, although you are very angry and dissatisfied, in fact, from the perspective of an onlooker like me, this is not a bad thing.”
“Don’t you want to become a prophecy? Becoming the great goddess Isis whose name has spread throughout the world? ”
"Not just you, even your father will be remembered by more people and even gods, because he has a daughter like you."
"You want him to be a human being Wuming's death still made him remembered by countless people. Even after a thousand years, some people still remember his name."
"Even if it is just because of you, he is mentioned incidentally"
<. br>Eros’s words really moved Yi’e.
Because in the end, people are themselves after all, and they will only do what they think is best.
Even though Inachus himself might have preferred Io to live happily, he is dead now and will never speak again.
Yi'e will only do what she thinks is better, such as not letting her father down, such as being able to keep her father's name for thousands of years.
But at the same time, she also knew that by doing this, she was taking the initiative to follow the path arranged by the God she was angry with and hated.
Even Eros, who saved himself, didn’t really want to save himself.
Compared with himself, he cares more about Zeus, who designed himself. Even saving himself is only part of Zeus' plan.
Faced with her confusion and silence, Eros suddenly laughed and took down a dagger from the decorations in the hall.
"If you want to make Zeus's plan fail and take revenge on her, then use this."
Putting the dagger into Io's hand, Eros grabbed He held her hand and taught her how to hold the sword.
“With just one stroke, with your death, all of Zeus’s plans will come to nothing, her work will be in vain, and you can get revenge on her.”
“ In addition, the stronger you are and the faster you grow, the more satisfied she will be.”
"But similarly, if you want to draw the line, do you think you are worthy of your persistence for half a year and worthy of your father?"
"The choice is in your hands."
Letting go of Io's hand, Eros left this dilemma, which could even be said to be an unsolvable dilemma, to Io's own decision.
He did not lie to this poor girl, everything he said was true.
But it is precisely this kind of problem that people cannot solve.
Yi'e's hand holding the dagger trembled, her mind was turned into a mess by Eros, and tears kept dripping from the corners of her beautiful eyes.
"I"
Alas, as expected, I still like protagonists who are less humane. If they are too innocent, I won't be excited at all.
