Chapter 113 Punishment
Zeus's smile froze on his face, the hall above suddenly fell into a dead silence ......
Hera's sudden words, almost did not let the presence of the gods eyes fell to the ground, so many years, the pair of god king and queen of the noisy, noisy and fought, but now Hera seriously proposed to divorce Zeus that is really the first time in the world.
Even with Aphrodite and Hephaestus of the previous experience, the scene in front of the gods still feel like falling into a dream, Hephaestus God body crippled appearance ugly, Aphrodite want to leave him can be understood.
But Zeus is handsome, powerful, respected status, more importantly, the male gods of Olympus, especially the god king bloodline, born on the power of an inexplicable obsession, but Hera is the only one was given half of the authority of Zeus, the queen of the gods. From this point of view alone, it can be said to be unprecedented, such power and strength, said to give up?
For the Greek gods, Zeus's philandering is not a big problem, the Greek gods, the surface of the intimate, but is a couple of two hearts more to go.
Oh, I almost forgot, Hera's marriage goddess made her naturally incapable of betraying her partner, but at least she was honored as the queen of the gods, wasn't she?
That's why it was said that three different views couldn't mesh, and the vast majority of the gods present couldn't understand this decision Hera had made.
'Do you know what you're talking about?" The recently resurrected God King Zeus' face suddenly clouded over, he had already forgotten how many times he had gotten angry today, but it was certain that this was the most serious one.
Dark clouds shrouded the sacred Mount Olympus, thunder and explosions constantly roared, highlighting the extremely unpleasant mood of the Lord of Thunder.
'Hera, your marriage with Zeus was notarized by the Laws and blessed by the Earth Mother, how can you say you want to separate so easily! Quickly retract what you just said." Mother Goddess Rhea also opened her mouth to persuade Hera, there had never been a precedent for a God King to separate from a God Queen, even back then when she had been devoured by Chronos with so many children, she had never thought of separating from him.
'Mother Goddess, this is a matter between Zeus and I, so please stay out of it." Rhea's words made Hera's complexion cold, she really didn't want to take care of the other party, hadn't fulfilled a bit of her obligation as a mother goddess, and now she came out to put up a fight.
'You!"
Rhea's face changed, these children, one by one, did not put her in their eyes, and did not have a bit of respect for her, the mother of the God King. Back when she was still the Divine Queen, which god dared to treat her with this kind of attitude? If there hadn't been ......
'Mother Goddess, let us handle this ourselves."
Zeus spoke up, and only then did Rhea reluctantly shut up, her face grim as she sat back down in the god's seat not knowing what she was thinking.
'Why on earth did you separate yourself from me?" Zeus looked at this with their own companion for many years after the god, always free and unruly heart rare flooded a trace of pain, his gaze is very complex, once upon a time, the goddess still with that gentle as water gaze at him, now but not willing to bet half a point to him.
'Is it because of the marriage goddess?"
Zeus was unwilling to believe that Hera would really want to separate from himself, and as he looked at the crimson divine light on Hera's body, he suddenly looked carnal, as if he had found some comforting excuse.
Zeus admitted that he was philandering, but which male god on Mount Olympus was not philandering? Moreover, everything he did was merely to consolidate the couple's rule on the divine mountain!
When he first ascended to the throne of the gods, his two elder brothers had been displeased that he had become the king of the gods, and secretly and vaguely fought with him. And those Titan Gods who had once helped him overthrow Chronos' rule, after the other party fell, also began to move, vaguely wanting to intervene in the God Mountain and empty him of this God King.
In such a situation of being attacked from the back, Zeus had no other choice but to give birth to a divine son through marriage with the daughters of those ancient gods, as a bond between the two godly systems, as a way to stabilize his rule, which was a political means he had to make as a monarch.
He knew that this would aggravate Hera, so he preferred to offer half of his authority to reassure her and let her know that his favorite was always her.
...... But he didn't realize that all this would still not be enough for her.
'It urged you to leave me didn't it? I told you a long time ago that keeping this God Sigil won't do you any good. When I first gave you the Ice and Snow Sigil, I wanted you to replace your marriage, but you preferred to transfer Ice and Snow to Hebe rather than give it up. Now it has come back to affect your mind, so why don't you let me destroy it! Don't worry, I will find a new Godhead for you."
Electricity glowed in the eyes of the King of Gods, the thunder in his hands emitted a rumbling sound, and a destructive aura filled the air, he actually wanted to destroy Hera's Godhead!
Hebe immediately blocked in front of his mother goddess, the realm of reincarnation opened in an instant to protect Hera, the blonde goddess looked directly at the king of the gods who was holding up the thunder, the pair of violet eyes that resembled his mother's resemblance flared up with thick killing intent, the two gods' gazes converged in mid-air, and the air was suddenly filled with smoke.
Hebe is not afraid of him, in the battle with Pandora, under the pressure of her body's potential for many years of savings exploded, the gray matter in the god frame continues to spread, and the use of the hope collected by Elpis temporarily ascended to the realm of the primordial gods, for the perception of the law reached a new realm, now she is about to be perfected, the distance from the primordial gods is only a foot short of the door.
Although this critical foot still need to take some effort, but at this time just resurrected not long, also lost part of the origin of Zeus where is her opponent, really fight, Hebe guaranteed to be able to press the other party on the ground friction.
With her here, want to take a shot at their own Hera, not to mention the door, windows do not want to open one!
Zeus narrowed his eyes, feeling that powerful force coming from Hebe's body, and was secretly shocked, could it be that she had also touched that realm?
'My daughter Hebe, could it be that you are also in favor of Hera giving up her honored position as Divine Queen? Without the position of Divine Queen, by virtue of her traumatized Marriage Godhead, she will inevitably fall down to the realm of the Lord God, and I also have the right to take back her honorable honor of being one of the twelve Lord Gods, so you have to think about it clearly." Zeus looked at Hebe, his tone cold.
'As a god in charge of marriage, if you don't even have autonomy over your own marriage, that would be too sad. No matter what decision the Mother Goddess makes, I will respect her choice, and as for the glory of the Mother Goddess, even if there is no Divine Queen Seat, I, Hebe, will still be able to fight for her just the same."
Ares and Hephaestus were also agitated when they heard Hebe's words, and immediately wanted to come forward to support the Mother Goddess and her sister, but were stopped by a dark bolt of divine power from Hebe. She was not afraid of Zeus' retaliation, but the two elder brothers were not so sure, there was no need to stand out and make a grudge at this time.
Athena looked at Hebe who protected Hera in the god's back, her heart sighed in admiration, if it was said that before it was because of the interests to befriend with Hebe, then now she was truly convinced by Hebe.
Her figure in the eyes of Athena's eyes became so tall, at this moment, Hebe, compared to their own, more like an unrelenting female god of war, if the first time she was also able to be the same as the other side, standing in front of their own mother goddess, that would be so nice ......
The radiant Apollo and the scheming Hermes looked toward that goddess, silent, their eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what they were thinking.
'Enough, Zeus!" Hebe was still confronting Zeus when behind her, Hera stood out, the goddess's violet eyes full of determination and calmness, 'I am a god born with marriage in mind, and it is my lifelong duty to guard marriage and stay with it until the end of the world. Marriage should be a continuation of love, not an exchange of benefits or a unilateral choice, since you have no way to guard my fidelity, then I also have the right to end this marriage that has brought me pain."
Hera raised her hands high, the crimson divine light on her body was as strong as ever, and she shouted the name of Themis, the goddess of justice and law who resided deep in the Underworld: 'Glorious daughter of Gaia, goddess of justice and law, Themis, please listen to my words. Marriage should be bound by law as well, and whoever wishes to enter into marriage, please be careful; marriage should begin with love and be bound by duty and contract."
'Whosoever is loveless may end the marriage."
'Where one party breaks a promise once made, the other party has the right to take the initiative to end the marriage and, as a punishment for marital infidelity, the party who suffers marital misfortune has the right to take one thing from the other party as compensation."
In the middle of the Underworld, the goddess whose eyes were covered with white cloth listened sideways to the words of the Divine Queen, the Scales of Justice in her hand flashed with dazzling divine light, weighing whether Hera's words were fair or not, and behind her a stone slab loomed, on which the laws of marriage were engraved in divine script.
There was a flash of golden light and a crunch from the scales of justice as the law recognized Hera's sublimity and parsing of marriage. The stone slab behind Themis coalesced into shape and flew in front of the goddess, who caressed the slab, smiled faintly, and threw it in the direction of the divine mountain.
