Chapter 122 Authority

Unfortunately, the prophecy conveyed that the son of the princess, Danae, would kill the old king. Apollo, the god of the sun, as the god of prophecy, his oracle is accurate, this prophecy makes Acrisius in agony, Danae has already reached the age of majority, once her beauty is revealed, will attract countless suitors, then give birth to a son, his own life can not be guaranteed. Though he loved his daughter, Acrisius cherished his life even more, so he ordered all the craftsmen of the country to build a beautiful and strong bronze tower, and shut up Danae with a maid who took care of her daily life, and sealed the tower, forbidding anyone to come near it. Princess Danae, thus trapped in the tower by her father, growing up day by day, although the food and clothing, but imprisoned in the tower, the boring and dull life of the princess all day long, the princess moping, her favorite thing to do is to look through the window of the tower, looking out at the distant scenery, looking forward to the outside world. Above the clouds, the king of the gods, the discerning eye locked the beautiful woman with a few lines of sadness, the power of love and desire in his heart surging, the king of the gods can not be suppressed fell in love with Princess Danae, endless lust as the river and the sea like the general surging in his heart. The King of the Gods moved his fingers, and the rain showered down from the sky, moisturizing the land of this country, the clear and moist rain with a slight coolness, as if it could wash away the boredom in people's hearts. Danae was also attracted by the rain, she picked up a handful of rain water, feel the coolness of the rain, the boredom of the heart gradually dissipate, the beautiful princess can not help but dance, in the tower, dancing unappreciated dance of the city. Suddenly, the clouds cracked open a gap, the golden sunlight through the window, reflected on Danae's absolutely beautiful figure, the rain flew into the high tower, in the brass and sunlight, as charming as gold. The rain hit Danae's body, revealing the girl's exquisite figure, she felt as if she had fallen into a warm embrace, and then raised her head, into the eyes of a handsome face with incomparable deep love ...... Just as the king of the gods was still immersed in his love for Princess Danae, the goddess of agriculture, Demeter, finally welcomed the birth of her son after a period of gestation. Even as a goddess, giving birth to a divine child was not an easy task for Demeter. Dressed in green robes and wearing a garland of flowers, the goddess of agriculture's slender abdomen had already swollen, and she covered her stomach as she tossed and turned on top of the god's bed, her body's divine power constantly being absorbed by the godchild in her womb, which was what every goddess experiencing a birth had to endure. Persephone, as the Goddess of Spring and Seed, although this priesthood might not be strong in combat, it was still an indispensable part of the four seasons on the earth, her potential was immense, and even Demeter, who was one of the twelve main gods, felt a bit overwhelmed by supplying it. But what could she do, if there was no sufficient supply of divine power, her own divine son might be born early as a result, leading to a lack of potential and difficulty in promotion, the motherly Goddess of Agriculture would never allow such a thing to happen, so she could only grit her teeth and continue to channel her divine power while instructing Nymph within the temple to go to the earth to look for some fruits that had the power of the divine nature to replenish them, even though it was just a drop in the bucket, it was also Although it was only a drop in the bucket, it was still better than nothing. Just as Demeter was struggling to support herself, she saw a nymph flap her transparent wings and fly in with a hurried look. 'Honorable Earth Mother's Advocate, Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture and Fecundity, Hebe, Goddess of Life, is here, just outside the Great Hall, and she requests to be able to meet with you." Kneeling on the ground, Nymph was afraid that Demeter, who was sinking in the pains of childbirth, did not hear what she said, so she busily raised her voice and reported loudly. 'Hebe? What is she doing here?" For this goddess who had just had a bad time with herself some time ago, Demeter didn't want to see her, if her current wretched appearance fell into the other party's eyes, she might still be ridiculed in some way. 'Her Highness Hebe asked me to speak to you, it was the priesthood of midwifery and seasons that guided her here, I hope that even if you don't do it for anything else, you will consider it for the sake of Her Highness Persephone, and that she will be able to help you in allowing Her Highness Persephone to have a smooth birth." Nymph lowered her head and relayed what Hebe had said to Demeter. Those words really hit the nail on the head. With Persephone involved, Demeter, who had poured all of her love into her divine son, really couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to cause irreparable harm to the soon-to-be-born Persephone because of her momentary anger. '...... Quickly go, and welcome Hebe, the Goddess of Life, in." 'Yes!" Hearing Demeter's order, that Nymph hurriedly flapped her wings and flew to the outside of the temple's shrine, and seeing the scepter-wielding blonde goddess, she hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to her. 'Noble Goddess of Life Hebe, my master Demeter invites you in." 'It was hard for you to make the trip." Hebe smiled faintly and a golden cup appeared in front of her, the scepter in her hand emitted a burst of light and a stream of pure white spring water like cow's milk flowed out to fill up the golden cup, and the aura of youth and vigor permeated out. 'This cup of youthful spring water will be my payment to you, it will make your heart blossom, youth and vigor will always be with you." '!!!" That Nymph dizzily accepted the golden cup in front of her, really unable to imagine that she would be able to reap such a great benefit just by helping to pass on a message! Ever since Hebe had been promoted to a powerful god as one of the twelve main gods, no god dared to ask her for the Spring of Youth as freely as before. This item had also slowly become a rarity, especially for them, the lowly nymphs, it was a treasure that they only dared to think about in their dreams. 'Thank you for your generosity, merciful Goddess of Life, may your glory last forever!" Nymph praised Hebe's gift with gratitude, carefully holding the golden cup in her hand for fear of accidentally leaking a drop, which would hurt her to death. Hebe smiled faintly, did not put this small reward in his heart, raised his foot and stepped into Demeter's agricultural temple. When she saw Demeter, who was lying on the divine bed with a painful expression, Hebe hurriedly stepped forward and activated the midwifery priesthood in her body, her hands lit up with a light as soft as the morning sun, and gently stroked Demeter's stomach, and the light warmth and tranquil divine power flowed into Demeter's body, soothing the agitated godchild in her belly. With Hebe's divine power soothing her, the absorption rate of the divine child in her belly for her own divine power slowed down, and Demeter's face improved a little. '...... Your Highness Hebe, thank you for stepping in to help." Despite the nasty thoughts that had once arisen, now that she had been favored by others, Demeter was embarrassed to keep a stern face. 'It was the priesthood of the seasons and midwifery that guided me here, and as the Lord of the Seasons, it is my duty to help this goddess, who was born for the spring season, to have a smooth birth. Your Highness Demeter, take this golden apple, it will help you give birth to this goddess smoothly." A golden apple appeared in Hebe's hand, this was the golden apple once given by Gaia, the mother of the earth, and she still had one left, which was just enough to be used to help Demeter replenish her divine power now. '...... 'How precious the golden apple is, Demeter naturally knows, but right now for the sake of her daughter, she also had to owe Hebe this favor first. The goddess took the golden apple in Hebe's hand and took a bite, the golden flesh turned into pure divine power flowing into Demeter's body, but it was not absorbed by the goddess, instead it was injected into the divine fetus in her body. 'Cackling ......" a laughter resounded within the temple, the sound was even more moving than the clearest and sweetest spring water, carrying a natural innocence and ebullience, it was the Goddess of Spring laughing, sensing that she was not far from being born. 'The time has come, Your Highness Demeter." With the golden apples replenished, the divine child within Demeter rapidly thrived, a power full of vitality spread out from this goddess's belly, and a delicate song seemed to resound above the earth, a hymn to the life of nature. At this time, it was winter on the earth, and the Winter Gods who wielded the wind and snow couldn't help but mild their faces after hearing this wonderful melody, and they couldn't help but exert their divine power once again, causing the wind, snow and frost to gradually recede, leaving the stage to this Goddess of Spring and Seeds. Under the spread of spring's divine power, the ice and snow melted above the earth, clear springs ran, and as if the seeds sleeping underground had been called by some kind of call, they desperately twisted their bodies, wanting to break out of the ground. Finally, in their dark world, the first ray of light appeared, greenery covered the earth, flowers bloomed, and the earth was full of life and flowers.
