Chapter 1756 The Goddess Who Will Never Get True Love
"Go back? Why go back?"

Blaze asked in some surprise. He thought that the goddess of beauty Aphrodite would not like to stay in the night, especially as [Pisces Austrinus].

Once it appears in the night sky as [Pisces Austrinus], the existence of [Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty] will be covered up.

Would the embodiment of beauty want her beauty to remain unknown?
She is the embodiment of beauty, so beautiful that every step she takes brings spring flowers to life. Her arrival means spring, and the world welcomes her, but she has to restrain her beauty and turn into an ordinary constellation.

why?
She is just like a considerate wife who has restrained her former flamboyance after marriage.

Blaze did not think that the change in Aphrodite occurred after Tiamat turned into half of Pisces, but rather that Aphrodite had already looked like this a long, long time ago, perhaps before she mistakenly became Pisces Austrinus.

exhausted.

Although she was still proud of her beauty, she also felt exhausted because of it, as if this beauty had nowhere to be displayed. Things that she could accomplish with just a gesture before, now made her exhausted just by speaking a few words.

Blaze was silent for a while, thinking about the words of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.

This world no longer has what she is looking for. Is it [true love] or that person?

"Mind telling me about it?"

"You're going back to heaven anyway, so at least leave some of your stories in this world."

“…It’s not really anything particularly interesting.”

The goddess of beauty Aphrodite lay in the shell house, playing with each piece of ornament with a dazed look in her eyes.

She, the very embodiment of beauty, married the ugliest of the Olympian gods.

It’s not that the other party is really ugly, but as a god, he has a defect and a lame leg. That little defect is particularly glaring on a god.

Who would like such an ugly guy?
Her aesthetic standard is handsome, strong and powerful. It would be best if there is nothing else. She also doesn't need any sense of responsibility to interfere with her pursuit of pleasure.

But... who would refuse a person who is very skillful, a little taciturn, but brings all kinds of novel gadgets every day?

Day after day, year after year, no matter how you scold or chase it away, it always appears and never leaves. It always appears when you need it and always carefully prepares gifts for you.

Knowing that she possessed only beauty, the gifts were so practical, from metal servants to clean the temple to water bottles that continuously flowed out fine wine and delicacies.

Knowing that she hated him, he always put down the gifts and left.

Everyone, even the world itself, wanted her beauty and her body. As for her character, no one cared. Only this taciturn man wanted her heart.

It's not love, it's heart.

She sneered. She had no heart, otherwise how could she have so much love? Even if she really had a heart, it would not belong to a broken god.

Blaze listened quietly. This self-centered and free-spirited woman didn't care about other people's opinions as she talked about her dissolute life in the eyes of others.

Because she is qualified to be promiscuous, one can even say that the world itself is looking forward to her promiscuity. Only in this way can the love of this ancient god spread to the entire world.

Unlike Ishtar, who is concerned with the reproduction of life, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, who was born missing a part, only symbolizes love, a love that does not require responsibility, a love that will only bring countless disasters.

But don’t we all like things that may bring happiness even though they are a little bad?
The goddess of beauty Aphrodite probably doesn't care even more.

"So because of that incident, you changed?"

"That thing? Ah~ the thing about being caught." The goddess of beauty Aphrodite stood up with a whoosh, put away the shell house and pinned it to her ear. There was no shame and anger on her face that she had when Cyrene told the story. Instead, she was quite calm.

She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. On her charming pink tongue lay a dazzling ring, a symbol of true love.

She picked up the ring and looked at it carefully.

"Do you think I care about being caught in bed?"

"I probably don't care."

"I don't care." Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, shrugged rather dismissively, then a bitter smile appeared on her exquisite face. "But just like the gods give mortals the most fitting punishment, I lost him, and only when I lost him did I realize... Ha~ a bit cliché, isn't it?"

Blaze didn't say anything. He knew that the sequel to the story was that the God of Fire and Forge asked for forgiveness from the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite and forged a ring that symbolized true love.

This incident seems to be a good story in Cyrene's mouth?
But looking at the reaction of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, it seems that this is not the case.

Just as Blaze was thinking about it, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite made an unexpected move. She grabbed the ring and threw it out with a "hey".

The little light flew up to the sky, seemed to turn into a star in the sky, and then seemed to disappear completely.

"What are you doing?"

"This wasn't made by him. I lost it." Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, played with the Shell House necklace that pierced her earlobe and left an incurable scar.

"He was devoured, devoured by Hera, the Queen of Heaven."

Blaze's expression froze and he subconsciously clenched his fists. It must be said that the name of Queen Hera was quite scary.

It's not that she symbolizes some powerful force, but that she is crazy, really crazy enough to do anything.

If he remembered correctly, when Cyrene was explaining science to him, she said that the God of Fire and Forging seemed to be the child of Hera and Zeus, a biological son.

The conspiracy against the son of Zeus did not even spare his own son.

"Swallow, is this the kind of swallowing I think of?"

"It depends on your understanding. The appearance is him, the godhead is him, the exquisite craftsmanship is him, and the soul is also him, but it is no longer him."

"Then how did you know he was no longer his, just because of a ring, a ring that symbolized true love?"

Facing Blaze's question, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite nodded casually.

"Yeah, I just know, because he never gives me useless things like that."

"He~ My husband is the most powerful craftsman in the world. He can give life to metal, forge water bottles that constantly gush out clear springs, and even forge weapons. How could he create something so useless?"

When the goddess of beauty Aphrodite mentioned the word "husband", a little light appeared in her tired and somewhat dim eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

One of the unchanging truths in this world is that only when you lose something will you appreciate it and know what is most important.

"One day you will know what I mean. When the time comes, don't show any mercy. Kill him cleanly for my sake."

The goddess of beauty Aphrodite spread her hands with ease. She took a step towards the cliff, and her feet created ripples in the void.

She stepped towards the sky, never to come back, but before leaving, she seemed unwilling to accept that she was just a complete loser.

She turned back to Blaze, her fingers fiddling with her Shell House earrings.

"I am a god who was born with everything. I am only one step away from true perfection. Therefore, at that step, my true love will never come. Even he is just an obsession, illusory and has never truly existed."

"But who can say that I didn't get it? I got all his love. Look, it's full. I just didn't get him."

"One last question." Blaze asked seriously.

"Do you hate Hera?"

The goddess of beauty Aphrodite put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and thought for a long time, then chuckled.

"Hate it. Hate why she fell in love with Zeus."

"But I love her too, and because she loves Zeus, my husband came to me."
