Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 594 Hephaestus's Reward
Rice bowl is truly the essence of fast food.

In the early morning, half asleep and half awake, Eros was forced to eat another bowl of rice.

Well, forced.

Persephone's mind is now filled with her own children, so as long as she feels that Eros is capable, she will cling to him like a banshee sucking marrow from the bones.

She would even snatch food from her own mother's mouth, and Demeter, out of her doting on her, would allow her to suck away the saliva that had already entered her mouth.

This harmonious and friendly scene between mother and child really moved Eros and increased his output by 100%.

The final result is, why does this rice bowl make you hungrier the more you eat?

Persephone ate her fill, but Demeter couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she used her wheat-flavored milk to replenish Eros' energy.

Ah! This juice of yours that nourishes countless lives, I praise you!
While maintaining the supply, they continued to increase output, becoming completely like oxen and horses, eating grass and needing milk.

Eros worked hard for three days and three nights until the fertile soil dried up and the cattle and horses were finally able to rest.

However, it is not quite right to say that I finally got a rest. After all, people have three basic desires - eating, sleeping and having sex.

With Persephone and Demeter, all three wishes were fulfilled at the same time.

It can feel astringent when you sleep and when you eat. This can be considered Schrödinger's rest.

In any case, Eros finally walked out of the palace of Saturn alive and saw the long-lost sunshine.

Facing the bright sunshine, Eros said a wise saying.

"Rice bowl, it's delicious."

"What do you think is delicious?"

Hephaestus, who was passing by, asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, I'm just sighing that the fruits planted and cultivated by the Goddess of Agriculture herself are indeed very delicious."

Although Hephaestus, who was passing by, frightened Eros for a moment, he quickly recovered and chatted with her.

"Why did you come to Olympus all of a sudden? Don't you always like to stay in your own big forge?"

Perhaps because of the emotional trauma he had suffered, Hephaestus never liked coming to Mount Olympus.

Of course, Eros knew that it was because she was bothered by the scars on her face and didn't like seeing people.

Now, after Eros had transformed her ugly scars into beautiful patterns, her inferiority and loneliness had long been alleviated.

But when Eros asked her why she came to Olympus today, she was still a little hesitant.

"Nothing, just..."

Before she could answer, Eros had already gotten the answer from her.

There was a scent lingering on Hephaestus' body that was very familiar to Eros, a faint and alluring smell.

"You went to see Aphrodite?"

Eros's expression was a little strange, an expression that was hard to describe.

Although he knew that Hephaestus was being played around by Aphrodite, he was a licker among lickers and a clown among clowns.

But seeing it with your own eyes and understanding it are two different things.

Seeing that Hephaestus secretly hated Aphrodite, he sought revenge on her.

On the other hand, Aphrodite could easily call upon me. It was a very indescribable feeling.

Being looked at by Eros with a strange look, Hephaestus lowered his head and tapped his toes in embarrassment. "It's not that guy. I just... just came to do after-sales maintenance on the doll."

"Doll maintenance?"

"Well, Aphrodite asked me to do some maintenance and upkeep for Pandora. I came here only because I didn't want such a precious work to go to waste."

As if he had found a good reason and excuse, Hephaestus straightened his chest and faced Eros with confidence.

"On the contrary, I didn't expect that you would be able to fulfill the agreement so quickly."

"Huh? No, where did I finish it?"

Eros was a little confused. The dangerous game between him and Aphrodite had not yet been decided. Could Hephaestus have misunderstood?

That won't work. Although there are prizes for the winners, Eros won't do such things as claiming them for nothing.

He wanted to tell Hephaestus the reason why Aphrodite was acting strangely, but he didn't expect that Hephaestus already knew it.

"You mean to say that it was just a mask and disguise that Aphrodite put on to conquer you, and that she was a fictional person, right?"

Hephaestus smiled, but with a hint of loss.

"This is where you fall into a misunderstanding. Her heart has actually been stirred and pulled by you, right?"

Seeing that Eros still didn't quite understand, Hephaestus sighed and continued to explain.

"Do you think that if one day I abandon this body and replace it with a perfect puppet body, and my personality also changes, will I still be Hephaestus?"

"Similarly, Aphrodite didn't even change her body, she just changed her mind and tried to be someone she couldn't be."

"Even if she has her own inner struggles and conflicts, can you say that the other person who wants to change is not her?"

"When she had this idea and actually did it, she had already lost, right?"

Hephaestus' words were so thought-provoking that Eros was stunned.

Indeed, even if she has multiple personalities, do we still have to decide who is the real Aphrodite?
When the goddess of love, who only knew how to be loved, began to try to love, she had already lost to Eros.

"I didn't expect that you, Hephaestus, are actually a master of theory, a dog-headed military strategist?"

Eros sighed, thinking that he was the one who was confused by the situation and was too obsessed with Aphrodite who was determined to take him down.

But the sarcasm in his words also made Hephaestus glare at him.

What is a theoretical expert? When she can't understand what it means, right?
"In short, the conditions you promised me have now been fulfilled. You have to play with Aphrodite's heart and let me vent my anger."

After saying this, two red clouds appeared on Hephaestus' face, but his tone remained natural.

"As for the reward, you can come and get it anytime you have time."

Then Hephaestus slipped away before Eros.

Although her tone and expression were calm, it was obvious that she was not at all ready to redeem the reward.

Or maybe, she just felt ashamed because of what she had just said, as if she couldn't wait to invite Eros to come and withdraw the reward in advance.

It seems that I can indeed taste the temperature of the God of Fire when I turn back. I hope it is not too hot.

After finishing his chat with Hephaestus, Eros looked up, suddenly feeling a little confused.

What did you want to do at the beginning?
