The Olympian gods all have a tradition of finding lovers... except for the three virgin goddesses. (The three virgin goddesses refer to the three famous goddesses among the Olympian gods who swore to remain virgins. All three are one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, namely: Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Artemis, the goddess of hunting. The relationship between the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon is not very friendly, especially the relationship between the three virgin goddesses of the Olympian pantheon and the goddess of love Aphrodite, which is almost hostile.)
There used to be Hera, but Hera broke her vow a long time ago, and now Athena has broken her vow.
But anyway, the Olympian gods were very open to matters between men and women, and they particularly liked to find mortals as lovers, which led to the birth of a large number of heroes with divine blood. Even Hades had lovers, but the number of Hades' lovers was very small, only one or two, and he had never caused a death outside.
But it still cannot prevent the fact that the Olympian gods have many bloodlines outside.
Of course, generally speaking, these gods don’t care much about their bloodlines outside… After all, although they have divine blood, most heroes only have a lifespan similar to that of mortals. Basically, if the gods take a nap, their bloodline descendants may report to the underworld.
This also led to the fact that heroes born later were not taken seriously.
Another thing is that since leaving Earth, the gods' hunting range has become wider, and many gods don't even know how many descendants they have left in the universe. This also makes heroes less and less valuable.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some gods who have difficulty in having offspring will pay great attention to their mixed-blood offspring.
Charon... a god with a very awkward position in the Olympian pantheon. You can say he is important, but in fact his position is not high, even though he is very old. After all, he is just a ferryman of the underworld.
Even in today's age when the gods of the underworld are widely revered, Charon is not a popular deity.
But if you say he is not important, that is not true.
Because once a person dies, you can't get around him. When a believer of the Olympian gods dies, two coins are placed between his eyes. This is Charon's ferry money, otherwise Charon will not lead the soul across the Styx.
Birth, aging, illness and death are the shackles that mortals can never escape, and no one can avoid them. So even if no one deliberately believes in Charon, there is no way to get around him anyway.
Although everyone talks about this god, whose functions are very similar to those of our Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence, no one really pays attention to his story. It's like we all know about Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence, but how many can really tell their stories?
In fact, not to mention mortals, even many gods don’t know much about Charon, so Melinoe has no way of judging whether what Charon said is true or false.
"When did you get blood?"
Charon is very old, so old that even Melinoe was not sure how old Charon was, and even Hades could not be sure.
But one thing is certain, Charon is greedy and low-key.
Apart from his own job, he would not stand out in anything. In fact, this is also Charon's principle of doing things. He only takes the benefits and does not stand out. In this way, no matter who comes to power, they will not take it out on him! This is also the reason why he can safely survive the succession of three generations of God Kings.
"Please don't think of me as an old man who can only row a boat, Melinoe. I am also a living being with flesh and blood, and naturally I have my own needs... However, I am not like other gods who would publicize their love history. On the contrary, I will be very careful! Anyway, I am in the underworld, and my descendants will eventually come to my side. So I seldom take care of my children, because I know that I can't help them when they are alive, but they can only be with me after they die."
It makes sense. Charon is the god of the underworld. The rules of the gods prevent him from interfering in the world of the living. The bloodline he left behind cannot be like those heroes in the legend, who can do everything with the help of gods... In fact, it is almost the same.
Not to mention the heroes who were born after coming to the universe, in ancient Greece, many heroes relied on the blessings of the gods to make great achievements.
For example, Hercules drank Hera's milk and became otherworldly and immortal.
Take Achilles. Achilles was the greatest Greek warrior of the Trojan War, and his mother, the goddess Thetis, dipped him in the River Styx, making him nearly invincible in battle, except for his heel, which she held onto. In the battle against the Trojans, Achilles demonstrated his military skill by killing Hector, the beloved prince of Troy. Although Achilles was victorious, an arrow struck him in his only weak spot: his heel, and he himself was shot. Hector's brother Paris, guided by the gods, fired the fatal shot.
There is also Perseus. In order to seduce Perseus' mother Danae, Zeus disguised himself as a ball of gold.
Then Perseus grew up, and the gods gave him various magical equipment, making him a great hero.
Such examples abound.
But Charon doesn't have this condition, but he has one advantage over other gods, that is, no matter what his children are like, they will meet him in the end!
No matter how poor and miserable they were in their lifetime, they would receive the best accommodation after arriving in the underworld.
"But I have never heard of your bloodline entering the Almighty City."
Melinoe questioned.
"My goddess, Melinoe. Don't think of me as Zeus or any other god. Their offspring, whether stupid or smart, are all qualified warriors, and their daughters, regardless of their birth, are all extremely beautiful. But my bloodline... Honestly, they are too mediocre. They can't even become the king of a mortal city-state."
The most common people with divine bloodline are not heroes, but kings.
This is also a tradition since ancient times. In the world ruled by the Olympian gods, the city-state system is the most common system. This also leads to a planet having numerous city-state kingdoms and numerous kings.
The most powerful ruling principle of these kings is the divine bloodline.
This is also the most important means for the gods to rule so many worlds. Because the kings and rulers are all descendants of the gods, these people will never overthrow the belief in gods. After all, this is the legitimate source of their right to rule.
Some favored bloodlines of gods may rule many city-states, but they will never form a unified empire.
This is also a way to prevent the ignorant people at the bottom from becoming wise. As long as there is enough division, the rule of the gods will be extremely stable.
But in the system of gods, heroes are indeed more noble than kings.
Because a hero may be known to everyone, but the king... when you go to the next city-state, maybe no one knows what the king's name is.
Charon said that his offspring couldn't even be king... that's really not very classy. You have to know that the kings of these city-states are replaced very often, and there is no inheritance system to ensure that the king can pass the position smoothly to the next generation... their entire planet is scattered, and even the city-states are scattered.
King is more like a pronoun for consul, and there are various reasons for changing him.
For example, people's election, direct coup, or simply, a hero suddenly appears, kills the king, and then announces that he is the son of so-and-so, and then he can become king. The makeshift team is a mess.
"Only this child is different. He is a warrior who has experienced many battles. He is my best offspring. So I want to send him to the City of Almighty."
As he spoke, Charon patted Thor's metal arm.
Thor's appearance is indeed very consistent with that of a battle-hardened warrior.
He lost his left eye and one arm in the battle of Asgard. He wears an eye patch on his left eye and his arm has been replaced with a metal arm.
Looks very tough.
"If he is so outstanding, why doesn't he go through a trial?" Melinoe still asked.
Charon curled his lips. If other gods encountered such a thing, most of them would turn a blind eye. After all, we are all the same. If I make things difficult for you now, you may also make things difficult for me next time we encounter this situation.
Instead of hurting each other, it is better for you, me and everyone to be happy.
After all, who can afford this thing?
Everyone is trying to take advantage of the collective benefits.
But Melinoe is a green hand.
Thor looked very unhappy. He was Thor Odinson, the son of Odin. When did he become the son of this old man?
But in order to go to the Almighty City, he decided to endure it.
After all, he is not really a fool.
"He is destined to fail the trial... He, um, how should I put it, once did something not very good in the temple of a certain goddess."
"Oh?" Melinoe asked with interest.
Most people would not ask further questions. After all, if they really asked something, it would be very embarrassing. It is best to pretend that you don’t know.
Charon is really drunk. Why is his luck so bad today?
Melinoe wouldn't normally be this curious... Although it was a little hard to talk to her, she wasn't really idle.
But why are you asking so much today?
Charon had no choice but to continue making up stories.
"Ahem...it's the temple of Aphrodite."
This is not nonsense, there is a reason for it.
Aphrodite and Persephone were mortal enemies, and Melinoe was Persephone's daughter, so it was impossible for her to have a good relationship with Aphrodite. Therefore, Aphrodite was the least risky option.
As expected, when Melinoe heard that Charon's descendants had destroyed the temple of Aphrodite, she didn't take it seriously at all.
But this makes Aphrodite in secret very unhappy, no...what do you mean?
Those guys from Olympus...are all so fucking stingy, especially Aphrodite.
So I feel a little unhappy.
But I can also endure it.
"What did he do that you dare not let him go before the Three Judges?"
Although the three judges are gods of the underworld and should be governed by Hades, they are all descendants of Zeus. This means that these three guys are sent by Zeus to monitor Hades, so they are ruthless. Of course, they can't mess around, otherwise Hades will get rid of them if he gets the chance. This has led to the three judges being known for their harshness and fairness.
It’s not that they don’t want to be selfish, but they have no choice.
They are here to stir up trouble. If they get along well with Hades, they will be doomed. Zeus will not let them go. So they must be ruthless.
But if they are only targeting Hades, but have other plans of their own, then Hades will certainly not be able to do it. Hades has plenty of ways to make them fall into eternal damnation. After all, Hades is still Hades, and Zeus must respect him.
So it’s not easy to be a traitor.
They are obviously in a high position, but they don't have any extra money. They can't be partial to others. Oh, they don't even have a lover... It's not that they don't want to, but they can't! They must be on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, otherwise Hades will definitely punish them!
This is it, it's just superficial.
They are much poorer than Charon. All they have left is a high status, nothing else.
But because of this distorted environment, these three guys became extremely harsh and sometimes a little perverted.
"He killed the priests of Aphrodite and toppled the temple's pillars, causing the entire temple to collapse..."
Charon continued to talk nonsense.
This kind of killing of priests and destruction of temples is definitely the most serious blasphemy. Only when two gods are clearly hostile will they do this. For example, Athena and Ares, their followers did this.
Other times... I definitely don't do that.
"Ah? Why does he hate that bitch Aphrodite so much?" The moment Melinoe opened her mouth, Aphrodite's chest circumference expanded several times... Being scolded in such a close distance was something Aphrodite had not encountered in many years.
The last time was when Aphrodite and Ares were caught cheating by the god of fire Hephaestus. That time Hephaestus didn't even give them the slightest bit of shame and said the most nasty things to them.
Otherwise, how could it be said that the two of them had severed their relationship?
I never expected that after so many years, we would meet each other today.
Although Melinoe thought Aphrodite was not there... talking about people behind their backs was naturally not good. In fact, there were quite a few people who called Aphrodite a bitch behind her back.
It's rare to see someone scolding someone face to face.
But Aphrodite didn't care about that. If she heard it with her own ears, wouldn't that be just a scolding in her face?
Aphrodite was already a mortal enemy of Melinoe's mother Persephone, and she hated Melinoe's family as well. Don't expect Aphrodite to have any good feelings towards Melinoe. Now that this has happened... it would be strange if Aphrodite would let it go!
Charon was also crying in his heart. Damn, this lie was getting bigger and bigger.
The key point is that I am still here!
"Well...he is a follower of the Queen of Hell."
What can Charon say?
I can only continue editing.
"Huh? My mother's followers?"
Thor was confused... He never really knew who these people in Olympus were, and he didn't even know which one was in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Charon's words immediately ignited Melinoe's interest.
"Then he can't go to the Almighty City. I want to take him to see my mother!"
ha?
