My mother's love song

She was exactly the form of the Fruit of Impermanence that he had taken out of Typhon's body that year, after it gained physical form.

Then, Rhodes spoke solemnly under the girl's shocked gaze.

"I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first sight... Ephimelos."

“Wu!?… Wuuuu, wua ...

Seeing Rhodes' serious expression towards him, Ephimelos burst into tears.

The girl burst into tears and apologized, mumbling "I'm sorry".

"Wuwuwu, I'm sorry... Wanting to kill you is not my true wish... I'm sorry!!!"

"My wish is... my wish is... wuwu, I'm sorry...!!!"

Rhodes was somewhat surprised by her reaction.

Because Ephimelos is a sentient being born from the Impermanence Fruit and has an inorganic, doll-like appearance, people have a preconceived notion that she does not show her emotions.

But in fact, she is a girl with rich expressions.

They can be happy, sad, angry, and sorrowful, and their emotions will be immediately revealed on their faces.

Ephimelos was no longer a device with intelligence, but a real life.

"Well, I see."

Rod comforted.

"Don't cry, if someone sees you they will misunderstand you... Tell me, what is your wish?"

Although this is a remote area far away from the town center, it is too dangerous to stand in broad daylight holding a limbless naked beautiful girl. I have to find a way to stop her from crying first.

Ephemerus raised his face, which was blurred by tears.

"I have a wish, I hope you can listen to me..."

Although the wishes of the real world have actually been fulfilled, the desires of the anti-wish machine have no end.

Ephimelos looked at Rhodes lovingly and whispered her second wish.

"I hope you can become my master."

Chapter 968: A female dragon who only knows how to flatter and please her master

In Greek mythology, things in the world can be roughly divided into two categories, one is expected things, and the other is unexpected things.

Things that are expected, such as [Hero].

They have handsome looks, strong bodies, noble births, noble personalities and tortuous destinies.

Most importantly, heroes are always keen to respond to the wishes of humans and gods.

A hero's life is always accompanied by trials and battles.

They run around non-stop, completing one task after another thrown by humans and God.

Heroes are brave and strong, and they always bring victory.

Heroes can get hurt, heroes can be defeated, heroes can die, but these minor flaws cannot become stains that tarnish their glory.

Heroes are heroes because they are willing to respond to the wishes of others even at the cost of their own lives.

The so-called heroes must be humans who are similar to [Wish-granting Machines].

Responding blindly to the wishes of others is the dignity of being expected.

There are as many heroes as there are dreams.

There are as many heroes as there are trials.

There are as many heroes as there are beauties and tragedies.

Greek mythology is composed of brilliant and splendid heroic epics.

So, what is the "unexpected thing"?

For example, the most famous one, “The Box That Must Not Be Opened”?

Although it is a doomsday device that will lead to the destruction of the myth once it is opened, it is also a wish-granting device [all gifts in this world] that contains all the evil information.

The box itself is dangerous, but if it is sealed properly it can make the world a happier place.

The truly unexpected thing must be someone like her.

That is the fruit that makes wishes come true, the Fruit of Impermanence, Ephimelos.

She is an anti-hero... no, an anti-wish-making machine.

It only has functions that no one expects.

Humans and gods always look enthusiastically at her twin sister [Fruit of Victory], but no one has ever expected anything from her [Fruit of Impermanence].

So she could only wait silently, wait, and wait for a long time.

From the moment she gained knowledge, she has been quietly waiting for a miracle to happen.

The hole in my heart cannot be filled, and inside that hole is absolute darkness.

It's so dirty...

That is why I am the one who is not expected to be evil.

Obviously love this world.

I want to be expected, but I can't do anything.

The long years seem to have no end.

Until one day, things took a turn for the better and the goddess of fate appeared before Ephimelos.

The goddess told the fruit about the terrible things that were happening on Mount Olympus.

A powerful monster named Typhon is ravaging the world. The gods are fleeing, and even the undefeated Sky King has been stripped of his power and defeated.

However, even such an arrogant monster also has a wish.

He asked the gods for the fruit of victory, wanting to eat her to gain more and stronger power.

How wonderful, how wonderful... Ephimelos thought secretly.

How wonderful it is to be desired and expected by others.

What an ugly existence I am, for I am jealous of the fruits of victory.

However, the goddess said that she did not intend to give the fruits of victory to Typhon.

The goddess of fate said that Typhon's wish was evil and that the wish should not be fulfilled.

So this is ah……

Ephimelos suddenly realized that there are as many wishes that should not be fulfilled as wishes that should be fulfilled in this world.

So please sacrifice yourself, the goddess said again.

Being eaten by Typhon, thus destroying its desire.

For the sake of the world, destroy Typhon's wish

The gods and men are waiting for your sacrifice.

……

……

……

"Ah...I ate it."

Among the gods on Mount Olympus who were watching the goddess of fate presenting fruits to Typhon, there was a white figure.

She was a young goddess with long wavy hair that looked like flowing mercury, golden eyes, and pure white wings on her back.

She has a pure and cold look, but exudes a mature and sexy temperament. She is Eros, the beloved daughter of the goddess Aphrodite.

"This way, Typhon will soon lose his power. Great, Mount Olympus will be saved."

“Is this considered too good to be true?”

The one who spoke was the boy who stood side by side with the goddess.

Because his mother Aphrodite went to take care of his injured father Zeus, Eros had to take on the responsibility of being a sister and take care of the little kid at home today.

Eros looked at his brother and asked in confusion, "Hmm? What do you mean by that? Isn't this good?

It didn't take much effort to weaken Typhon. After that, we just had to wait for Zeus to seal Typhon in the volcano, and everything would be fine."

At this point, the silver-haired goddess showed a slightly unhappy reaction.

"After all... whose fault do you think was that led to the birth of Typhon?

Lord Zeus was seriously injured in the battle with Typhon, and my mother was very sad because of this. It's all because of you."

Eros pursed his lips and lowered his head: "...I'm sorry."

The boy didn't care, he knew his sister was just being sharp-tongued as always.

There was a silent silence, and then the boy spoke.

"I heard a sound."

"?"

"The fruit swallowed by Typhon has a will."

Eros opened his eyes wide: "Hey, you mean..."

The young man said: "The goddess of fate should also know this, not only her...

Perhaps the gods were also shocked to know that the fruit of impermanence is life with intelligence.

It is because we possess intelligence that we are able to perform corresponding functions.

I think the truth behind the so-called "weakening Typhon"

In fact, it was to let Ephimelos take over Typhon's body, and then seal her and Typhon together."

"........."

Eros was silent for a long time, then spoke coldly.

"so what?"

It seemed that the younger brother had angered his sister, and Eros's fair face was full of displeasure.

“Being enslaved by the gods, sacrificing oneself to save the world…what’s wrong with this?

This is the fate of Ephimelos, the Fruit of Impermanence."

Although the goddess' tone was fierce, it was also full of sarcasm, and Rhodes mocked her in return.

"How cold-blooded... You can be considered the God of Love."

"She's the goddess of love and sex?"

"Ha... You're clearly a virgin goddess, yet you have the audacity to call yourself the Ero goddess."

"What do you care? How can a guy who only knows how to flirt with goddesses all day long have the right to criticize me?"

The usual sibling quarrel.

"Forget it... Mother is not here today, I don't want to bother with you."

Eros was the first to stop the quarrel, and she looked at the boy with a serious expression.

"I don't know why you are angry, but please remember what I am going to say next."

"I understand that you sympathize with Ephimelos' fate and think that she is more unfortunate than others, but this is what she was born with.

I think the child should have accepted his fate.

Since fate has already been determined, then letting nature take its course is the best option."

"As expected of Sister Eros, you really have style," the young man sneered.

The goddess went on to say: “If fate cannot be changed, if life is hopeless, then it is enough to sigh about one’s own misfortune.
