Chapter 129

world.

Tantalus is now the greatest king in the world, with the greatest wealth and the best army.

His limelight is not second to none, and wise men with good deeds predict that he can expand the country to the place where the sun sets.

A few sober dignitaries despise the white bones under his kingship, and therefore despise him, thinking that he has deviated from the direction of God.

Tantalus is very charismatic. His wives and lovers are numerous, and he has a large number of children. Among those wives and lovers, there are even goddesses who hide in secret.

He is proud of it and often talks about it to people.But he was extremely cautious, no matter what the occasion or situation, he never revealed the name of the so-called goddess.

People doubted him, but half believed in him because his children showed no less than heroic strength.

He is such a contradictory person.

At the same time, he is also a suspicious person.

Even with such great achievements, he worries day and night.

His sorrow stems from one thing - he once called the son of Zeus in the royal struggle.

Although judging from the future situation, the gods forgave him.

but……

Tantalus has always had the greatest malice for others, he has seen the gods, and he has conceived children with them.

He believed that the human mind was not much different from the gods.

The same indulgence, the same desire.

The only difference is that God's indulgence has no bottom line, while human indulgence has a bottom line set by God.

He even maliciously speculated that maybe mortals are another kind of god?If there is no god, then they are gods themselves.

Tantalus has been on guard, and he judges that one day, a storm will come.

God King Zeus' acquiescence to him was just to take away all his value.

And he himself knows that the value of a person is not endless.

Tantalus compares his heart to heart.What would he do with a man who had lost his value?Yes, it should be discarded.

The storm will not come suddenly, before it comes, the insects on the ground will fly to the sky, telling people that this is a harbinger of the storm.

Tantalus was the worm, and on the eve of the storm, he sensed uneasiness from the clues.

He summoned his loyal servant alone in the deep palace.

"Have you found the trace of the false god Matthew?"

"Wang, I'm still looking."

"Very well, change the process. After you find him, don't go to the temple to report, come to see me first."

"Yes."

Tantalus closed his eyes, rubbing his thumb against his forefinger.After a while, he suddenly asked, "How is the preparation of the sacrifice?"

"It's not going well, the temple is already investigating."

"How many?"

"The 3000 people are all untouchables who don't care. Some people from the temple want to go outside the city. I have sent the army to send them away."

"Good job." Tantalus praised.

"Get ready, you can send them to rest."

……

Lemnos island.

Hephaestus was writing in the temple, and Clotho walked in from outside.

Her clothes and smooth skin were stained with water, and her long golden hair was also wet.

As she walked, she said, "Goddess Eurynome wants a child."

"Huh?" Hephaestus was stunned for a moment, and he stopped writing: "What did she say?"

Clotho skillfully found a towel to wipe: "I said it while chatting."

"Grandma Tethis is also asking around the bush."

"Goddess Hera is more straightforward. She said that you should have a wedding. You are no older than when you were a child."

"Gods of the same age as you already have grandchildren, you can't be a different kind."

Hephaestus looked at the history book in his hand, and he felt a little weird: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to chance?"

"No matter how hard they urge me, can I still knock them out with a hammer?"

Clotho smiled, and she came to the edge of the crib and sat on Hephaestus' lap.

She flipped through the history books: "It's not impossible, as long as you are happy."

"Speaking of which, Matthew is on the verge of dying. His sect has not been very active in the past two years. An oracle from God King Zeus forced him to hide XZ."

"Although relying on the surprise at the beginning, he did put Apollo in the same position, but after disappearing all these years, the advantage he accumulated at the beginning has been regained by Apollo little by little."

"Those heroes are also looking for him, and he is about to lose everything."

Hephaestus' hands naturally climbed onto Clotho's waist, and he enjoyed the soft touch when the two were close: "It's normal."

"He has nothing, what to fight with others."

"It's no surprise that he loses, it's amazing when he wins."

"His opponent is not just an Apollo. Apollo has already lost. His opponent is Mount Olympus."

"He still wants to erode Apollo's influence in the world a little bit, and use the advantage of first mover to crush Apollo step by step."

"He has no chance, and Demeter is not stupid."

Clotho asked him, "Then can you bear it?"

Hephaestus smiled and replied, "I must not bear it."

Clotho twisted his waist and turned his body around, facing Hephaestus: "Then what are you going to do?"

Hephaestus smiled, and kissed Clotho's delicate cheek: "Give him some support."

"Helios left three daughters before his death, Aegiale, Aegle, and Aetria. They are in charge of splendor, radiance, and sunshine respectively, and they are the embodiment of the sun's side."

"When Persephone blessed the moon god Selene, she accepted them together by the way."

"They settled in the gate of hell, and settled down in one of the paths leading to the underworld in this world."

"I'll guide Matthew to find them."

"With their help, Matthew, the sun god, is worthy of his name."

"It can delay Apollo for a long time."

Cloto felt a little emotional: "Can it only be delayed?"

"The authority of the sun is really suitable for the path of faith. If you master it, you can achieve something for yourself."

Hephaestus laughed and said, "So everyone knows that the sun is a good thing."

"Helios did not die unjustly."

"He is not the root of the sun after all, not his father Hyperion."

"If Hyperion hadn't been imprisoned in the abyss, everyone would be a clown."

"But even if he is imprisoned, no one can really control the sun."

"He still exists, and he has never joined the hidden war. No one can take away the ownership of the sun from his hands."

Clotho thought about it carefully, and she suddenly thought of a terrible thing. She asked Hephaestus: "Tartaros imprisoned him, can he... release him at any time?"

"As long as Tartarus is willing, the seemingly solid Mount Olympus is just a castle in the air?"

Hephaestus smiled meaningfully: "Who knows what Tartarus thinks."

"He likes to hide and let everyone ignore him."

"He, he has always been on both sides..."
