Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Then, trembling all over, he expressed his gratitude to Hephaestus, looked at the promise excitedly, and after engraving it deeply in his mind, he turned and left.

"You went to the underworld?"

After the maid left, Hephaestus asked Nuoyan.

She still remembered that Nuoyan asked her for this before she fell asleep.

"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded.

"You left, why did you come back?" Hephaestus asked again.

After all, she had already made the artifact that Nuoyan needed.

Even though Hephaestus was also one of the main gods of Olympus, Nuoyan could have waited until the last one was left before coming to him.

Without waiting for a reply from Nuoyan, Hephaestus thought for a moment and spoke first, asking, "Didn't you go to see the Mother Goddess?"

“No.” Nuoyan shook his head and replied, “I did not go to see the goddess Hera. I left because of the agreement with the goddess Demeter. I would return Persephone from the underworld to her.

Now that the matter has been dealt with, I came back."

In fact, he should have come back earlier, but because he hadn't seen Nuoyan for a long time, Athena detained him for a while.

"And have you forgotten, Goddess Hephaestus? I want to paint a sky full of gods, and you are still one of me."

Hephaestus looked at the boy in front of him who was talking to him with a smile.

"But you could have come to me last. Since you already know what I did to Hera, you know that I absolutely cannot tolerate my mother having a believer like you... Or have you already decided to betray my mother?"

"I won't betray her."

Hephaestus both expected and unexpected Nuoyan's instant answer... It was expected because Hephaestus had already understood that Nuoyan was just that kind of person, but it was unexpected because she couldn't understand why Nuoyan wanted to come back.

Not to mention that he imprisoned himself voluntarily.

"You... are sick?" Hephaestus thought so subconsciously and muttered to himself in confusion, then he naturally reached out his hand and wanted to touch Nuoyan's forehead.

However, she didn't expect that she lost her balance and fell down without feeling in her legs, into the arms of Nuoyan, who was quick to hug her.

Chapter 5.5 Goddess Hephaestus, Destroyed! (k)

The morning sun shines into the temple room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The goddess in a white nightgown accidentally fell forward and fell into Nuoyan's arms, who subconsciously reached out to catch her.

The long golden hair that was as tall as her body fell on Nuoyan's body, and Nuoyan, who was looking into her amber eyes, could not help but stand there in a daze for a moment.

Although half of her face was covered with a black mask, she was still a beautiful goddess, bearing 70% resemblance to the Queen Hera.

"What are you still doing?"

Just when Nuoyan was stunned, Hephaestus said to Nuoyan calmly: "Put me on the bed."

Hephaestus said this very lightly, and lay in Nuoyan's arms with his whole body completely relaxed, as if he had given everything to him...

There is no way, Hephaestus doesn't dare to use force!

Faced with the fragile promise in front of him, Hephaestus did not dare to struggle at all. He even thought it would be better to just fall down and let the maid come in and pick him up.

Nuoyan came back to his senses after hearing this and picked her up gently. When he picked her up, Nuoyan even felt that the goddess was too light, as if he could not feel her weight.

After carefully placing her on the bed, Hephaestus, who was lying on the bed, finally sat up with great effort...The beautiful legs exposed outside the nightgown were long and delicate, but unfortunately they had no feeling at all, which represented the incomplete part of Hephaestus.

When she got up, she accidentally pulled her long hair.

So after getting up, Hephaestus looked at the golden hair scattered on the bed, which shone like golden silk in the sunlight.

"It has grown so long again after I left it alone for a while. I think it's time to cut it."

"Eh?" Hearing this, Nuoyan almost subconsciously said, "Do you want to cut it?"

"Of course, I even burned it with fire and had the puppet throw me into the magma of the fire, but I didn't expect that it could still grow out even so."

Hephaestus casually told Nuoyan what he had done.

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hephaestus who was grabbing the long golden hair with blatant disgust in his eyes.

Then, after recalling the Queen Hera, he came to his senses.

This is hair as dazzling as that of Hera, the Queen of Heaven. It is very beautiful and should have been the pride of the goddess, but now it has become something she hates.

In fact, not only that, Hephaestus also thought about replacing his own eyes, because his eyes were also beautiful amber like Hera's, but he was stopped by Athena, who refused to help find eyes that were worthy of her, so Hephaestus gave up.

After reacting, Nuoyan was silent for a while. Looking at the exquisite and beautiful goddess sitting on the bed in front of him, he couldn't help but said, "Is that so... But isn't this a pity? She looks so beautiful."

Hephaestus was stunned when she heard this. She grabbed her hair and looked up at Nuoyan in front of her. She stared at him for a while, recalling his series of performances after he came in front of her.

Then Hephaestus laughed.

Because she finally realized that Nuoyan was in front of her, which was the reason for the series of 'weird behaviors' so far.

And the real reason why he came back even though he had already escaped.

"It's because of Hera, right."

So even though she was smiling, the look in her eyes when she looked at Nuoyan was extremely cold.

"You can't let me go because you see the shadow of Hera in me, right?" Hephaestus stared at Nuoyan and said coldly: "I almost forgot that you... are her most loyal believer!"

After hearing this, Nuoyan was silent for a while again.

Under the premise that it is impossible to lie to God,

Finally, Nuoyan raised his head, nodded to the young Hera in front of him, and said:

"That noble goddess has helped me a lot since I came down the mountain... In fact, I have always known and understood that she is not a perfect goddess, let alone perfect..."

Full of bad things.

The river goddess Aegina, who was turned into a white cow, Io, had already encountered the evil consequences of her twice in her short journey so far.

Not to mention Nuoyan's best friend, Hercules, the most famous hero in the ancient Greek Age of Gods, who was persecuted by Hera all his life.

"I chose her in the beginning for a very simple reason. She is the goddess of marriage. As long as I choose her, I can avoid angering the gods to the greatest extent possible."

At the same time, I have a goddess, and she is the Queen of Heaven Hera. You have Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and Apollo, the god of light.

Especially you, King of Gods Zeus!

You can't possibly do this to me!

"...With her bad temper, how can you be so confident that you won't anger her?" Hearing this, Hephaestus asked Nuoyan with some confusion.

"Because I haven't thought about getting married." Nuoyan replied with a smile: "Not only getting married, I haven't thought about having a woman. After all, I just want to be a hero and die a hero. I don't want anything else!"

This is a secret that even Athena and the others didn't know.

After all, beauty only belongs to the strong.

In ancient Greece, there was not much difference between beauty and wealth.

Even Hera, the goddess of marriage, would choose to turn a blind eye if someone fooled around before marriage, even if she was unhappy about it, but in most cases.

The evidence is that the only time Hera really gave up protecting Jason in his life was when Jason betrayed Medea. Before that, you have to know that Jason was not an ordinary playboy.

So at this moment, even though Hephaestus was very angry, he couldn't help but be stunned and blinked at Nuoyan who said so.

"So at the beginning, I chose Goddess Hera just for this reason, but now... I think I can respectfully call her Goddess from the bottom of my heart."

You know, so far, Hera has been really good to Nuoyan.

You have to know that in that pure white court, the trial could only be held because Hera doted on the promise.

If anyone else dared to get involved in the affairs of Hera and Zeus, they would have died a thousand times already. Only Nuoyan not only managed to escape unscathed, but Hera also had no way to deal with him.

Even if it's a piece of stone, if you hold it for a long time, you will feel attached to it.

Hephaestus was speechless. After hearing all this from Nuoyan, she naturally understood that Nuoyan truly believed in Hera.

But you say you respect and believe in Hera in front of the god who hates Hera the most in this world. Isn't this courting death?

Soon Hephaestus laughed again, but this time the smile was no longer beautiful.

Even though she tried hard to hold back the rage that was directed at Nuoyan, the oppressive feeling from the god still made Nuoyan feel the suffocating pain.

What Nuoyan didn't know was that all the puppets outside had changed their expressions, and many even knelt on the ground trembling, because at this moment the entire temple and the volcano were shaking due to Hephaestus's anger.

Everything that had happened so far had made Hephaestus realize the excellence of the young man in front of him. Even when he heard Nuoyan's arrogance about painting a "sky full of gods", Hephaestus not only did not sneer at him, but instead admired him immensely.

Don't forget that Hephaestus and Athena are actually friends, and Athena had already come to Hephaestus half a year ago and mentioned the promise.

Therefore, the most fundamental reason for Hephaestus' kindness towards Nuoyan during this period was that after seeing it with her own eyes, she had already realized that Hera could not hold on to Nuoyan at all.

And most likely, it will be snatched away by Athena.

But now it is different. Hephaestus has completely understood that Nuoyan is indeed a believer of Hera, and he even extends his kindness to Hera to himself.

But what Hephaestus didn't know was that at this moment, in the temple of the goddess of fate, the three goddesses of fate were so busy that they wanted to give up and didn't want to care about anything.

The petite goddess of fate, Clotho, who looked childish, had a childish voice but tried to be dignified, and was trying hard to maintain her goddess side.

At this moment, he suddenly looked at the crystal ball in his arms with confusion.

Because she felt as if she had just seen the fifth thread of destiny, entangled with the crystal ball.

However, the thread only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, leaving Cloto unsure whether it had really appeared.

But now Kroto didn't have time to continue checking. He was faced with a mountain of work in front of him, which he had been working on for so long but still had no idea what was going on.

Even she had the urge to turn around and run away!

This scene, which seemed like a volcano about to erupt, and the rage that gushed out from Hephaestus naturally shocked the gods who were still watching the fun around the temple.

But what they didn't expect was that just as they hesitated and were about to take action and rush in to rescue people.

The anger came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

Because Hephaestus, who was extremely angry, did one thing.

She took off half of the mask on her face, completely exposing her true appearance to Nuoyan, the only human who had seen her appearance so far.

The birthmark that was burning like a flame destroyed the originally flawless beauty of the goddess Hephaestus.

"Now, do you still think I look like Hera?"

Then Hephaestus looked at Nuoyan with anger, sarcasm and a hint of pain, and said, "Looking at my ugly appearance, can you still say that I am a beautiful goddess?

And my legs that can't stand, so disabled, I, the goddess you believe in, the most noble goddess among the gods, the daughter of Hera, the queen of heaven. "

“And I, the ugliest among all the gods, am actually a noble and perfect Olympian god.

It's really disgusting...right, human."

Hephaestus' voice was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion.

But Nuoyan, who was looking at her like this and meeting her eyes that were devoid of any emotion as if he was looking at a dead person, stood up.

He seemed not to notice Hephaestus's anger, his expression suddenly became excited, and he took out the pure white paintbrush.

But Nuoyan didn't use it. As if he had thought of something, he suppressed the desire and threw it aside.

Then, in a pleading tone, he said to Hephaestus: "Goddess Hephaestus, don't move, don't move, just stay in this position, please!"

Having kept his promise, he hurriedly called over Pegasus.

The Pegasus, which usually would automatically start eating grass whenever it met a god, seemed unaware of Hephaestus's anger at this moment. It flew out of the temple's stable, spread its wings and flew here.

Amid the maid's exclamation, he forced the door open and came to Nuoyan's side.

It seemed to know what Nuoyan needed, so it brought the canvas and placed it in front of Nuoyan. After all, Tianma was already somewhat used to it.

And during this period of time, Hephaestus actually did not move.

Because looking at Nuoyan's beautiful emerald eyes like stars and her excited expression, Hephaestus seemed to see his own shadow.

That is the figure who gives everything and feels extremely happy when forging.

What does he want to do?

Could it be that he is planning to portray me?

What will I be like at this moment?!

At the same time, Hephaestus finally realized Nuoyan's thoughts.

Even though he still remembered the agreement with Hera and threw aside the artifact that had already been made, he actually didn't care about the promise anymore.
