Chapter 3067 Mercury Record (Fifty-three)
To sum up the old stories in one sentence, this world is a huge love-brained world.
Hecate gave up her role as the God of All Gods and developed real feelings for Hades. She fell in love with him sincerely and passionately and wanted to have a passionate love affair with Hades.
In fact, after giving the power, Hecate revealed her true form and asked the gods of Mount Olympus to worship her and worship her as a god, or simply said, "I am the king of inspiration in the Tongtian River. If you sacrifice Hades to me, I will give you power. Zeus can even tie Hades to her bed."
But Hecate didn't, she chose to join the Greek pantheon and focus on dating Hades.
There is a saying that goes, if you use lies to verify lies, all you get are lies.
When the two were in love, Hecate was ambushed and trapped, and Hades cheated on her. Hecate thought that Hades was an ungrateful, two-timing bastard, but because she failed to seize the initiative from the beginning, she could do nothing but helpless rage, and she made herself crazy.
In the final analysis, love-brain is deadly.
It is certainly impossible to say that the gods of Mount Olympus are completely innocent. After Hecate gave power to the gods, she had been wandering on the earth. Naturally, she attracted the attention of many gods. They did not know that this was the goddess who gave them power, but they thought that this goddess might be very powerful, so they sent many gods to pursue her.
Zeus and the Greek pantheon he led were not that powerful at the time. In order to go further, he pushed Hades out, and Hades did win Hecate's heart.
As a result, Hecate was ambushed and trapped in a magic circle. When Zeus, the old man, saw that the cost of rescuing her was too high, he advised Hades to give up Hecate and marry another one. This can be said to be a typical case of turning one's back on one's loved ones.
Hecate was also quite strange. The first thing she did after being trapped was to pray to the Greek pantheon and her fiancé Hades. She also told him everything about her difficult situation, leaving herself no bargaining chips. After being abandoned, she became furious and the situation deteriorated further.
In short, one is bad and the other is stupid, this old mess is not a bland one, and the two chefs have tried their best to cook it.
But at this point, there is really no possibility of reconciliation. Hecate hates Hades to death. If you want to revive Hecate and keep the barrier, you must sacrifice Hades.
Dick figured this out, and then asked, "What about Ares? What's going on with Ares?"
"He was killed accidentally." Zeus seemed to be hiding something, but Dick understood that what Zeus didn't want to mention was probably the mysterious eldest son. The death of Ares made him realize that his eldest son had escaped.
"I mean, why did Poseidon and Ares go to the human world?" Dick continued to ask.
But Zeus changed his previous straightforward speaking style and began to talk about other things.
This made Dick and Jason realize that Zeus might have discovered the mastermind behind the scenes. He knew why the mastermind wanted to manipulate Ares and Poseidon. This might be an important part of the plan, related to success or failure, life or death, so he did not dare to reveal it easily.
Knowing that Zeus would not say anything, Dick and Jason did not ask any more questions. They understood that Zeus had condoned the sacrifice of Poseidon and Ares. His cold and ruthless attitude would certainly not be approved by everyone. At least if Apollo knew the truth, he would not agree with his father.
And it would be much faster for the gods to investigate than for a few humans like them.
After leaving the Temple of Zeus, they rushed back to the Temple of Apollo without stopping. Dick told Apollo what had happened during this period in the most concise language and expressed his own speculations.
Zeus may have noticed that there was something wrong with the barrier. In order to protect himself, he had to acquiesce to Hecate's revival and even helped her behind the scenes. In order to fulfill her plan, he sacrificed Hades, Hades, Ares and Poseidon...
Apollo's face became increasingly gloomy, but he did not refute. It was obvious that he knew Zeus better than Dick and others, and he knew what the king of gods could do.
When Dick finished speaking, Apollo pursed his lips and said, "I haven't been back to Mount Olympus for many years, so I don't know much about the changes in the Pantheon before this happened. I'll call Hermes for you. He should know something."
Hermes was a strong young man with bronze skin. He was not as handsome as Apollo, but he looked strong and energetic.
After hearing about Dick and the others' purpose, Hermes recalled for a moment and said, "I am the messenger of the gods. I travel between Mount Olympus and various dimensions all year round. Occasionally, I also serve as a guide for the gods. As long as the gods who are away from home call my name, I will go over and take them back to Mount Olympus."
Dick immediately grasped the point and asked, "Did any suspicious person return to Mount Olympus recently?"
"How could I possibly bring back a suspicious person?"
"What I mean is, is there anyone who hasn't been back for many years and has suddenly come back recently, or someone who has been staying on Mount Olympus for many years but suddenly wants to leave?" Jason asked, looking at Hermes.
Hermes thought about it carefully and said, "The movements of the people on Mount Olympus are normal. I didn't see anyone suspicious. If you have to say who suddenly came back, Wonder Woman Diana should be one of them, right?"
Dick's eyes widened immediately. He looked at Hermes and said, "What did you say? Diana has been back to Mount Olympus recently???"
"Yes, probably a few weeks or a month ago." Hermes scratched his head and said, "But I didn't lead her here. She came back through the portal. I was a little surprised at the time because she loved to call me to pick her up the most..."
Dick and Jason looked at each other and sensed something was wrong.
"Where did she go after she came back?"
"I don't know about that." Hermes shook his head and said, "But apart from Hera, Diana has a good relationship with other gods. It's not surprising that she would go anywhere."
Dick muttered to himself: "It's broken..."
Elsa naturally realized what Hermes meant. Because Diana had a good relationship with the other gods, she would not be rejected wherever she went. It was entirely possible for her to come into contact with the God of War and the God of the Sea.
Dick stood up and said, "Let's go find Hera."
Pegasus brought them to Hera's palace again. The noble and majestic queen was uncharacteristically worried, and it seemed that some great sadness was hidden beneath her calm appearance.
Dick certainly knew why. Ares was her child, but the one who chose to sacrifice Ares was her husband.
In Greek mythology, Hera is always portrayed as a jealous woman who either beats up the mistress or is on her way to beat up the mistress every day. But in fact, she is the patron saint of marriage and family, and beating up the mistress is her job.
Besides, if she was really cruel, there wouldn't be so many children coming to Mount Olympus one after another. It would be fine if it was the children born to Zeus and other goddesses, but it would be easy for Hera to kill the demigod children born to ordinary people.
For example, when Apollo was born, Hera opposed it again and again and only issued one decree, which was that the goddess of the earth was not allowed to provide a place for Apollo's mother to give birth. Then, the way to break this decree was to find an empty island for giving birth. Once the feet were off the ground, the virus would be shut down. Isn't this just a joke?
Dick and the others had no ill feelings towards Hera. They liked her much better than Zeus. Dick did not waste any time and immediately expressed his doubts. As the queen of gods, Hera's control over the gods was obviously stronger than anyone else.
"After Diana came back, I didn't pay special attention to her whereabouts." Hera's voice was lower than expected. This majestic and dignified goddess almost met anyone's fantasy of a good wife and a good mother. When she mentioned Diana, she didn't have any negative emotions, but just evaluated everything objectively.
"However, I know that she did meet Ares and Poseidon. Ares taught her for a period of time. I saw them go to the martial arts arena together from the window that day. Later, Diana also went to the palace of Poseidon."
Everyone's hearts sank more and more. They never expected that the answer was written on the riddle and the problem appeared at the beginning.
"Do you think Hecate controls Diana?" Hera asked.
Dick nodded, but Hera said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Diana is a strong goddess. Her willpower is admirable and she won't be easily manipulated."
Hera began to pace in front of her throne, her deep voice echoing through the palace.
"The new generation of gods have never dealt with Hecate, so they don't know much about her. But I know that although Hecate controls witchcraft and the night, her most frightening ability is that she has three faces."
"What do you mean?" Jason stepped forward and asked.
"Girl, mother and old woman. These are her three forms. Each one is extremely powerful. The girl controls the night, can dominate death, and summon ghosts. The old woman possesses powerful witchcraft power and controls all magic and spells in the world. All magic is ineffective against her."
"What about mother?"
"That's exactly what I want to say." Hera's tone became heavier. She said, "Mother gave birth to all things. Everything in the world is her child. She can reshape them as she pleases."
Even though Hera used the perspective of a god and her words were ambiguous and had strong occult connotations, Jason still understood them.
“Mothers can be manipulative, right?”
"It's not manipulation, it's reshaping." Hera emphasized. She walked down the stairs from the throne, stood in front of Dick and the others, looked into their eyes and said, "Turn you into another you, or not you at all."
"Reshape a person's personality? How is that possible?!" Jason couldn't help but lose his voice. He said, "She can swap the souls in two bodies, but she can't reshape the soul. This is a power that only God possesses!"
"She can." Hera sighed softly and said, "And it's not just a simple reshaping, but a re-pregnancy. She will put your soul in her belly, reshape your spirit, and give birth again until she gets a brand new you."
"At that time, you will not feel that you are being shaped or manipulated, you will just feel that this is you, and you will sincerely thank your mother for giving birth to you and do anything for her."
Hera closed her eyes in pain.
"...including sacrificing one's life."
