Chapter 145 The jockey defied his ancestors and acted treasonously
However, half an hour later, as the vague sense of voyeurism around him completely disappeared, the corners of Lorne's tight mouth couldn't help but tilt up, and a playful smile appeared on his originally gloomy face.
It seems that the three-phase goddess Hecate is not the original Nyx, but a part that split from it. Therefore, she can also be regarded as the daughter of Nyx, presumably the same is true for the [Three Goddesses of Destiny].
As the incarnation of order, the birth of Hecate and the three goddesses of destiny can naturally not be the reproduction of the sexes in the traditional sense, but a kind of "self-fission" of the subject based on some reason.
For example, in Greek legend, after the **** of the heavenly father Uranus fell into the sea water, the waves stirred up and the divinity escaped turned into Aphrodite, the goddess of love;
After Medusa was killed by the demigod hero Perseus, the giant Chrysaor was conceived from her divinity;
Stheno and Euryale chased the murderer all the way. After being injured, the blood spilled on the earth turned into a poisonous snake in the desert...
These examples above are enough to show that Nyx, who is revered as the supreme goddess in Dionysianism, is probably the embodiment of rules, similar to a [supercomputer] that manages the world.
It's just that because Zeus transcended the destiny, there was a logical BUG.
During self-repair, the original system is divided into two parts.
As the victors, the [Three Goddesses of Destiny] became the masters of the earth, ocean, sky and life, and were enshrined by Zeus.
Hecate, who was born rebellious, naturally could not give up.
Her disciple, the great witch Circe, is not only the owner of the island of Ayo, but also the legendary gatekeeper who leads the dead at sea into the underworld.
The three main goddesses of destiny agreed to choose Zeus as king and were determined to maintain a certain development.
One of the above may be a coincidence, but three of them put together definitely have ulterior motives.
Her goddaughter, Persephone, the goddess of spring, became the Queen of the Underworld.
In this world dominated by fate and destiny, one of the two is the general trend [inevitability], and the other is an extremely small [accident].
But this is no different from the prisoners in Tartarus.
Besides this, she and the three goddesses of fate have not stopped
—Poros, the legendary son of Metis, the never-born brother of Athena, the **** of opportunity:
One is behind the scenes and the other is in front of the stage.
So, using the authority of Nyx, she took the lead in creating three servant gods - Charon, the boatman, Hypnos, the **** of sleep, and Thanatos, the **** of death, and ordered them to "assist" Hades, the king of Hades, in managing the underworld.
Hecate was driven to the underworld, although she maintained a transcendent status because of Zeus's respect and fear.
The above-mentioned secret methods cannot prove the woman's intention to evade Hades.
Different opinions among them, Hecate, who represented "possibility", was regarded as a "virus" and split away.
The outcome of the struggle is self-evident.
Her disciple's disciple, the great witch Medea, is the queen of the legendary "Pure Land of Paradise", and another translation of the Pure Land of Paradise is the "Elysee Garden" that symbolizes heaven.
These three [possibilities] that should have replaced Zeus as the God-King are Hecate's three attempts to fight against fate.
—Zagoreus, the legendary reincarnation of Poros, the son of the Queen of the Underworld, the **** of resurrection from the dead;
—Dionysus, the legendary reincarnation of Zagreus, son of Semele, **** of resurrection and death...
Then, Lorne can continue to bring out some evidence of stone hammers.
From the perspective of traditional Eastern concepts, the relationship between the two parties is more like the relationship between "Tiandao" and "Son of Heaven".
But judging from the follow-up in the myth, all three attempts failed.
Even the most promising **** of wine, Dionysus, was burned to death in the fire together with his mother before he was born.
Based on Lorne's personal experience and understanding of Zeus.
He estimated that Zeus's so-called “fatherly love” that rescued Dionysus from his mother's body and then sewn it into his thigh might also have ulterior motives.
Devouring one's own children is an old tradition inherited from the Titan King Cronus.
The siblings Athena and Poros, who were eaten before they were born, enjoyed this treatment. In the end, only Athena, who could not inherit the throne, was allowed to be born.
Similarly, Zeus sewed Dionysus into his thigh, probably using a similar method to eliminate the baby's threat to his position as king of gods.
And, he obviously succeeded.
Otherwise, Hecate would not have chosen to abandon Dionysus, a future destined to fail, in that resurrection match, and place her hopes on him, a soul outside the realm.
Even, Lorne suspected that the reason why his soul came to this world was because of Hecate's little actions.
—She is the goddess who controls the dead and guides the way.
—A soul that is not part of the calculation of fate is just the chess piece she needs.
So, chance is also inevitable, everything is within the woman's plan.
As thoughts surged, a cold color flashed in Lorne's eyes.
Compared to his apparent opponent Zeus, he is more wary of Hecate.
This woman was secretive from the moment they met. First, she borrowed the identity of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld (see Chapter 3 for details), and then used the threat of death and the lure of rewards to gradually push him onto the gambling table. , in opposition to the Olympian gods. Although their purposes and interests are the same for the time being.
But according to the Greek family tradition, it is difficult for Lorne to guarantee whether he will be punished as time goes by after knowing such a secret.
It's just…
Lorne picked up the twelve-sided dice again, gently let go, and let the [accidental] dice roll and rotate on the table, and the corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant arc.
You want to use me as a [variable] to overthrow Zeus and the [Three Goddesses of Destiny] and regain Nyx's original power.
What a coincidence, I want it too!
Before the trump card is revealed, the outcome is uncertain...
Let's see who among us can have the last laugh!
At this moment, the spinning dice on the table stopped making strange noises. Lorne lowered his head subconsciously and his eyes fell on the patterns of petals.
—Aphrodite points again?
—Isn't this a reminder that if I want to win, I should seize the opportunity to make her into a flannel ball?
A strange thought flashed through Lorne's mind, and the four words "Jockey Mianzu" could not help but appear in Lorne's mind.
But according to seniority, Hecate should be regarded as [ancestor]?
“A sneeze!”
At the same time, in the corridor of the Colchis Palace, a petite witch with pointed ears sneezed heavily.
Strange, why do you have a bad feeling?
Curse?
Damn it, who dares to attack your aunt behind your back? See if I look back and don't curse you to death!
Circe buried her head in the corridor, sometimes gnashing her teeth, sometimes muttering darkly, sometimes smiling...
The maids and patrolling guards who were going in and out all around her saw her changing expression and the unique eagle wings behind her. They all became frightened and took a detour.
This is the distant sister of King Aeetes of Colchis, a witch from the island of Ayo on the sea.
Since Queen Ideia was about to give birth, the king was a little worried about the safety of the mother and child, so he specially summoned his sister who was proficient in witchcraft and healing to prepare for any eventuality.
—Hecate, the goddess she believed in, had authority over the birth of babies and the education of children, so she was also the patron saint of babies in another sense.
Since Circe arrived and cast the spell, the queen's transition from expecting to giving birth went very smoothly.
“Wow~~!”
A quarter of an hour later, with a clear baby cry in the delivery room, the busy maids and midwives inside and outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and handed the healthy infant princess into the hands of the king.
But before the handover was successful, Circe, who rushed into the delivery room, excitedly grabbed the swaddling clothes and looked at the newborn baby again and again.
However, a newborn baby has a very short neck, a large head, wrinkled skin, and a head of sparse and messy lanugo hair, which is really not "cute" or "beautiful".
Therefore, Circe only held her for a few seconds before throwing her to her brother who was the king in disgust.
“Like a skinned little mouse, so ugly…”
Hearing the witch's muttering, several midwives laughed and explained.
"Your Highness the Princess is still young. When she grows up, she will naturally become beautiful."
Hearing this, Circe nodded thoughtfully, and immediately regained interest and looked at her brother, the king.
“Hey, Aeetes, have you figured out what to call her?”
Although this king of Colchis looks tall and rough, he usually sows dragon fang soldiers in ceremonies and fights with them as a sacrifice to Ares, the **** of war.
But facing the seemingly petite and weak sister in front of him, due to the gap in strength, he had no temper at all and honestly said the name he had been thinking about for a long time.
“Medea…”
“Well, it's a nice name.”
Circe complimented him very perfunctorily, then rolled his eyes and spoke leisurely.
“She has good qualifications and is very suitable for learning witchcraft. I will live here for a while. After the lactation period, I will take her back to Ayo Island and formally accept the inheritance of Lord Hecate.”
Hearing his sister's suggestion, the King of Colchis immediately nodded in agreement, even wishing he could wait for his daughter to finish breastfeeding before stuffing her daughter into her.
The people of Colchis have martial and aggressive blood flowing in their bodies, and they highly respect Ares, the **** of war.
And Hecate can not only intervene in the birth of babies, but also control the education of children and youth. She can make her daughter a direct disciple of the goddess of witchcraft and a qualified witch, which is what the King of Colchis wanted.
After completing the communication, Kerr nodded with satisfaction, took the newborn niece from his brother again, and looked at it carefully.
This time, it seems that driven by the inner workings, the wrinkled little thing in my arms feels a little pleasing to the eye.
After careful inspection, Circe poked the baby's cheek and couldn't help but murmur.
“Still not as cute as him…”
