Without speaking, Russell knew what Zeus was thinking just by looking at his face. He had seen this expression too many times.
If it were anyone else, Russell would have accepted it, but Zeus had no right to despise him. He immediately snorted: "The God King has been working hard day and night, and he will definitely have to rush to the next game, so I won't waste your time."
"Wait a minute!"
Zeus grabbed Russell, who had transformed into Poseidon, and said seriously: "Tell me the truth, why are you so courteous to Artemis? It's related to the power struggle between the old and new generations of gods. I can't tell you clearly.
, I won’t let you do whatever you want.”
"Aren't you just messing around!"
Russell didn't bother to speak out. On the surface, Zeus didn't help each other, but in fact, he supported Artemis to seize power, and then secretly slept with Selene. He had never seen such a shameless person.
"What do you know? I have managed Mount Olympus with this method for many years and I have never made any mistakes."
"Government by sleeping with women?"
Russell complained: "No wonder Hades and Poseidon are dissatisfied with you. It's because you didn't sleep with them."
"Don't change the topic and answer my question quickly."
Seeing that Russell had been entangled in the issue of two ounces of meat, Zeus became quite angry.
"Okay, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth."
"I took away Helios' power before. The old gods didn't like me, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and them."
Russell reasoned and said: "If Artemis succeeds in taking away the power of the Moon God, it will weaken the old god's power firstly, and secondly, it will help me share some of the pressure and become the new thorn in the old god's side."
It sounded absolutely fine. Zeus tightened his belt and said, "Go on, what's the lie?"
"I fell in love with Artemis at first sight. I was worried that she was no match for Selene, so I secretly went up the mountain to deliver equipment to her."
Speaking of this, Russell's expression was playful: "Just like the treasures Hera gave to Ares, I will give my beloved goddess one or two small objects. If anyone talks too much, it will be the shortcomings of the Queen of Heaven, that is, I will not give you the God King Zeus."
The face..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Zeus immediately shouted to stop. Hearing the messy things at home made his head hurt, and he plucked the hair on his forehead: "You'd better not be too troublesome. Artemis has Apollo to help. You are an outsider, and you are not like Hera."
If I get involved in the mother-son relationship with Ares, those old gods will definitely be dissatisfied and think that I am deliberately favoring Artemis."
"How is it possible? As long as Artemis and I are in a relationship, I can't shut up those old guys."
"Hiss!"
Zeus took a breath and straightened his thoughts in an instant: "How shameless. You know that Artemis values the authority of the Moon God, so you took advantage of others' danger and tried to coerce her into submission."
"Nonsense, this is what I call love. I just can't bear to see Artemis get hurt."
"Come on, you are just greedy for Artemis' body."
"Whatever you say, anyway, I won't cause any trouble for you, so just feel free to be your God King!"
Russell blocked Zeus with one sentence. Since he dared to tell Zeus openly, he was not afraid of Zeus's obstruction.
Artemis took away the power of the Moon God, and the power of the old gods was suppressed. This was the result that Zeus wanted. He put the icing on the cake and added a layer of insurance to this operation. Zeus would only support it and would never stop it.
But……
"Russell, are you underestimating Artemis?"
"What's the meaning?"
"She may look down on you. Don't get me wrong. It's not that you are bad, but... but... you know!"
"It's not a big problem."
Russell said with full confidence: "I believe my sincerity will impress Artemis, and maybe I can stay in her palace tonight."
"Pfft————"
Zeus laughed subconsciously and hurriedly covered his mouth: "I'm not laughing at you, I thought of the joke I used to make Hera happy."
"Smile slowly. If it fails, I will go to Athena. You know, I am not a picky person..."
Russell rolled his eyes at Zeus: "Although I rejected her, if I say a few sweet words, she will definitely forgive me, and then I will stay overnight in the palace of the goddess of wisdom tonight."
"..."
Zeus watched in astonishment as 'Poseidon' pulled up his hood and flew away quickly, secretly thinking that there was a god more shameless than him in the world.
After a moment, he put on Russell's face and escaped into the darkness.
There can be no further delay. He has a heavy responsibility and has several games to attend to!
…
Palace of the Goddess of the Hunt.
Near the temple of Apollo, the god of light, jade steps extend from the mountainside, supported by delicately carved white stone pillars. On the dangerous cliffs at the top of the mountain, a quiet and quiet palace is outlined.
Surrounded by mist, it is cool and quiet.
A bright moon hangs high at the corner of the building, and the dancing moonlight shines down, covering the palace with a hazy and mysterious veil.
Somewhere in the palace, the water was rippling, and the moonlight jumped over the window sill, reflecting the silvery glow that filled the room.
Artemis has long silver-gray hair tied up in a bun, her voluptuous body is soaked in the pool water, and her fair skin is more crystal clear than the moonlight.
She frowned and looked at the moonlight reflected on the water. Selene's delicate face flashed in her mind, and she frowned slightly.
The old antique from the previous era occupied the divine power and refused to give up, causing her to hold the priesthood of the moon, but she was not the orthodox moon goddess...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. He immediately took out a long bow from the void and said coldly: "Who dares to break into the temple of the goddess of hunting at night?"
"It's me, Russell, the Sun God."
"roll!"
Artemis showed no respect at all, not to mention that Russell let her go last time, just sneaking into her palace sneakily showed that she had no good intentions.
"I have something very important. I want to talk to you face to face. It's up to you to come out or me to go in."
Hearing Russell's words, Artemis was very angry: "Just wait, I will kill you as soon as I come in."
"Are you threatening me?" Russell was eager to try.
"..."
Artemis rolled her eyes, jumped out of the water, picked up the robe next to her and put it on her body.
After thinking about it, I felt it was not safe, so I put on two more sets.
The door of the palace opened, Artemis walked out with a frown, holding a long bow, and saw Russell dressed in black.
"You...how did you grow taller?"
"I sneaked into the sacred mountain secretly, so I made some disguises."
With that said, Russell pulled down his hood and replaced Poseidon's face in front of Artemis.
Artemis: "..."
Suddenly I feel very insecure!
"Artemis, I won't say any more nonsense. I came all the way up the mountain just for you... Hey, please take your bow farther away and don't point it at me."
"Then don't come over. If you have anything to say, just stand over there and say it."
"What are you afraid of? I'm not a bad person...ahem, no more kidding."
Being led astray by Artemis, Russell almost said the wrong line. Staying still allowed her no need to worry: "I am not at the Holy Mountain during this period, and the intelligence is severely delayed. I heard from Athena that you and Selene are competing for the authority of the Moon God.
It’s getting to the point where we’re going to tear each other up in person.”
"Athena really said that?"
Artemis's eyes twitched slightly, and then she said: "What does the dispute between Selene and I over the authority of the Moon God have to do with you?"
"You can't say that. Ever since I took away the power of the Sun God, we have become natural allies. In addition, our relationship with Hera is the same as water and fire. If I don't help you, who will help you?"
Makes sense!
Artemis put away her long bow and frowned: "Then there is no need to visit at night. Wouldn't it be worse to do it secretly and be seen by others?"
"Being seen is Poseidon's business."
"..."
"In addition to the natural alliance, you must also know my feelings for you."
∑(?д??)
Artemis looked confused, but Russell took advantage of it and stepped forward to pick up her hand. At the same time, he took out the white sculpture of the Sun God's suit and placed it in her palm.
The palm of her hand was covered, Artemis struggled immediately, but when she saw the Sun God's suit, she was so shocked that she forgot her next steps.
"That night by the pavilion, I secretly fell in love with you. The double figure of the moonlight came into my mind, and I can't forget it."
Russell spoke affectionately and held Artemis's hand with both hands: "I was very worried after learning about you and Selene, but Zeus did not allow other gods to interfere, so I had no choice but to come secretly."
"This this……"
"This Sun God suit is filled with my thoughts. Keep it with you for self-defense if you encounter any crisis."
"ah!?"
Artemis continued to be confused and was thrown into confusion by Russell's series of words.
Also, is this hand clenched too tightly?
Artemis wanted to give Russell a slap in the face and tell him to keep a safe distance, but Russell was so kind that he even took out treasures related to divine power such as the Sun God's suit, which made her want to refuse but couldn't.
"Russell, this is yours..."
"Don't refuse, and don't doubt my feelings for you. Today Aphrodite went to see me and asked me to help her forge the God's Armor. During this period, she tempted me in every possible way..."
Russell looked into Artemis's eyes and said lovingly: "When I think of you, I reject her without hesitation."
"real or fake?"
Artemis's struggling little hands relaxed slightly, Aphrodite was unhappy, and she became happy.
If what Russell said is true, it is equivalent to her defeating Aphrodite head-on, defeating her, and fleeing in panic.
Thinking about it makes me feel happy.
"Of course it's true. Athena can vouch for me. She came just after Aphrodite left."
"Wait a minute, why is it Athena again?"
Artemis looked questioning, vaguely seeing the shadow of Zeus on Russell's face, and her little hands began to struggle again.
"To tell you the truth, Athena confessed to me."
"What!?"
Artemis opened her little mouth into an O-shape, and her whole face was filled with disbelief. It felt like she had seen...
I saw the three brothers, Kuami, Ming and Kuai, gathered together, drinking and talking, Zeus wanted to give up the position of God King to Hades, Poseidon strongly supported it, but Hades refused to obey.
The three of them hugged each other, burst into tears, and vowed to remain brothers in the next life.
That's right, from Artemis's perspective, the probability that Athena would fall in love with Russell and fall in love with the three Zeus brothers was basically the same probability.
