 After three days and three nights, the sun broke and the sea fog dispersed.

Soft sunlight passes through the lingering smoke of Etna Crater, illuminating the dim interior.

　　The churning magma in the past has lost its dark red color and blazing high temperature, and turned into a pile of dead ash and residue that has solidified after being completely burned.

With the crisp sound of cracking, the gray-black mud shell on Lorne's body peeled off, and his eyes slowly opened. Bird-like golden-red flames flickered in the pupils, and the golden roulette wheel behind him also turned to the eleventh position simultaneously. in a grid.

—The eleventh incarnation [Phoenix].

 In addition to giving him relatively high-speed air movement capabilities, he also has the trait of "resurrection from the dead".

 That is, when the host's body is destroyed, the Phoenix will bear it on his behalf and undergo a true "resurrection". This is equivalent to giving him an extra life when facing the enemy.

 It is a pity that after the death of the phoenix, it takes a long time to be reborn from the ashes before it can regain the power of "resurrection". Therefore, the power of this incarnation has a long cool-down period and cannot be used easily until the critical moment.

 But even so, the current harvest made Lorne feel excited.

 With one more life, he would have more choices, and his plan would have a better chance of winning.

After calming down his excitement, Lorne broke free from the solidified magma residue, jumped up, and reached the cave above.

 “Are you awake? Not bad.”

Beside the extinguished forge, Hephaestus shook the empty wine bottle in his hand, stood up and looked at Lorne, who had a reserved look in his eyes. He nodded with satisfaction, and then moved his gaze to the completely cooled and solidified core of the earth under the entrance of the cave. Magma couldn't help but speak with regret.

 “This stove doesn't work anymore.”

 “Sorry, it cost you money.”

“So you saved my adoptive mother and gave me such a good wine. I should give you something to make up for it.”

Hephaestus waved his hand, and then a teasing smile appeared on his face.

“Just think of it as my wedding gift to you in advance.”

Hearing this, Luo En felt dumbfounded.

It seems that the God of Craftsman is determined to bring him and Thetis together, so he specially gave him the phoenix with the power of [rebirth].

　　When the time comes to confront him in Olympus, even if Zeus accuses and punishes him severely, he will still have a chance to be resurrected, so that Thetis will not be left a widow before she is married.

Brother, don't say anything. I recognize you as my son. When your mother and I get married, I will definitely arrange the best table for you!

Lorne secretly teased a few words in his mind, taking advantage of the chaotic family relationship, then took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

 “It's almost time, shall we go?”

Hephaestus nodded solemnly, took out a complete set of handcuffs, shackles, chains and other torture instruments from the treasure box on the side, and put them on Lorne one by one.

Lorne tried to mobilize his divine power to break free, and as a result, dense divine patterns floated and shimmered on the surfaces of these metal torture instruments, absorbing and transforming the power of resistance in an instant, and further strengthening the confinement.

With no way to go, he then summoned the [Bull], relying on the brute strength enhanced by the limit of his body to fight against the torture instruments on his body.

However, even if the veins on his forehead popped out and the protruding blood vessels almost burst the skin, they could not shake the torture device in the slightest.

 Hephaestus saw this and replied proudly.

"Don't waste your efforts. This is a torture instrument specially made for your divine power based on the blood sample sent by Thetis. Moreover, according to your request, I have improved the performance dozens of times. In theory, even if you become the main **** , and there is no possibility of breaking free.”

 Lorne said nothing, but raised his hand doubtfully.

 After waiting for a moment, he looked at his empty palm and finally showed a satisfied smile.

Very good, the twelve-sided die containing [accidental] divine power could not be summoned, which means that the most special [accidental] divinity in him is indeed imprisoned by this set of torture instruments.

　　On the one hand, if he put these things on to plead guilty, Zeus would not notice the specialness in him and directly kill him.

On the other hand, due to the fact that we and the enemy share the same origin, what works for us can theoretically work for our dear master.

　　With the last worries eliminated and adequate preparations made, Lorne was completely relieved and prepared to officially go to Olympus with Hephaestus.

"Don't worry, hide this."

 Speaking, Hephaestus secretly thrust a key into Lorne's hand and explained in a low voice.

“I took an extra shot and kept it for later use. If something goes wrong, I can use this to secretly unlock the shackles and let you escape smoothly.”

Lorne nodded and accepted Hephaestus's painstaking efforts.

Subsequently, the **** of craftsmen led the surrendered felon and summoned the chariot parked on the island. The two rode together and drove towards the sacred mountain of Olympus among the stars.

In the quiet and gloomy side hall, the god-king Zeus, who has held the throne of Olympus for thousands of years since the Titanic War, sits on a gorgeous throne, overlooking the criminals in the court, and snorts calmly.

 “You are so brave, you actually dare to murder the descendant of God!”

“Your Majesty, I just didn't want him to harass Thetis, so I pushed him out and it was the Hundred-Armed Giant who killed him.”

Lorne lowered his head and defended honestly.

　　“You still dare to make excuses?” Zeus sneered disdainfully and then waved his hand impatiently, “Hephaestus, put him in prison first and wait for the outcome of the trial.”

 “As you command, Father God.”

Hearing that Zeus had no intention of directly executing Lorne, Hephaestus couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly led the "insignificant" criminal towards the prison set up by Olympus.

As he walked out of that somewhat depressing space, Lorne couldn't help but feel relieved.

 The most difficult level has been passed.

 The fact that Zeus didn't kill him on the spot proved that his biggest secret had not yet been exposed.

The meaning of putting him in prison and waiting for punishment is that the matter of killing Peleus did not touch the god-king's back, and it was nothing more than an insignificant trivial matter at best. Whether the punishment is light or severe can be discussed.

As long as he shows enough value, he may not be able to replace the dead ghost Peleus and become the candidate to marry Thetis.

 Negotiate? I like.

Lorne sat cross-legged in the dark prison, thinking about how to gain the trust of His Majesty the God-King and get the last piece of the puzzle that was missing in the plan.

 —Twelve paths of divinity are sent to you.

 “Eyah~~”

The slight sound of the metal gate being pushed interrupted Lorne's thoughts. He couldn't help being slightly stunned, and there was a murmur in his heart.

 Coming so quickly?

However, along with the sound of crisp footsteps, an unexpected figure walked out of the dim passage.

 Seeing the queen wearing a crown and plain clothes appearing in front of her eyes, Lorne couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.

 “Lord Hera, why are you here?”

 “Come and see you.”

Hera spoke naturally, regardless of her noble status, opened the cell door, placed a food box full of food in front of Lorn, and hummed softly.

 “Are you hungry? Come on, let's eat something first.”

　　Listening to the ambiguous tone and looking at the gentle care, Lorne couldn't help but break out a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Hera rolled her eyes at the trembling little lover and snorted displeased.

 “What's there to be afraid of? He's not on the mountain.”

That's good, that's good.

When Lorne heard this, his hanging heart finally settled down.

 Fortunately, Hera was not crazy enough to commit a crime in the face of the wind, so she directly dragged him to commit the crime. Otherwise, Zeus, who discovered the clue, would have to chop him alive.

 It's just that His Majesty the God King is not on the mountain, so why is he running away?

Hera seemed to understand what Lorne was thinking, and handed the plate full of food to the little lover in front of her, teasing and sarcastically.

“When he learned that I was coming back, he ran out of Olympus early and is still fooling around in the arms of a nymph!”

 She has seen through her god-king husband.

 Sentiment is one thing, and calculations that are engraved in one's bones is another.

 He ​​may have been in love with her, but in order to secure his position as a god, he would rather spend time outside with women than return to Olympus and live a normal married life with her, his head wife.

 Because the bloodline of the god-kings she gave birth to often had powerful talents and could potentially become a potential threat to the status of the god-king Zeus.

But it doesn't matter, if you can't satisfy it, someone will already satisfy it for you.

Hera looked softly at her lover, who was younger than Zeus, more handsome than Zeus, and more affectionate and righteous than Zeus, with approval in her eyes.

 “I've heard all about Thetis, and you did a good job.”

In her early years, she had raised Thetis with her own hands. She liked the child's intelligence and decency very much and had already regarded her as half a daughter.

 Thetis also respected her very much, and for this reason she adopted Hephaestus, who was abandoned by her, and tried her best to repair the relationship between mother and son for her.

Therefore, after learning that her husband had not only used Thetis as bait in order to defeat Poseidon, but was also preparing to force her to marry, he was furious. Only then did he end the separation and rush to Olympus from the Argo Holy Land. , I want to challenge him face to face.

As a result, Zeus, who felt that he was wronged, ran away early, and Hera instead met her young lover Lorne who had just been imprisoned at this time.

For a woman, he would not hesitate to take on himself and be willing to bear all the blame. In contrast, my god-king husband definitely did not have this kind of awareness.

Countless experiences of hunting down mistresses and illegitimate children prove that women and illegitimate children are just tools for him to satisfy his selfish desires and maintain his position as the God King.

 My taste in choosing a husband is not very good, but my taste in choosing a lover is pretty good.

Hera picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped away the sweat on Lorne's forehead and the rice grains on the corner of his mouth. A cold color appeared in his eyes, and she vowed to her lover.

 “Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!”

 “Well, I'm waiting for your good news.”

Lorne nodded quickly, then pointed to the empty food box and reminded him with a smile on his face.

“It's almost time, would you like to go back and rest first?”

It is not yet known when Zeus will come back, and Hera is acting so ambiguous. He is really afraid that His Majesty the God-King will counterattack, expose their adultery, and then kill him in a rage.

 However, the queen in front of her had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, she licked her moist lips, her bright eyes shining with the familiar heat of Lorne.

“I will do what I promised you, but how should you repay me?”

 Lorne almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest after reading the meaning in Hera's eyes.

 Isn't it? at this time? here?

 Sister, Queen of Heaven, aunt, please let me go, maybe someone will be killed!

Just as Lorne retreated into the corner step by step, trying to fight him to death, Hera grabbed the chain unceremoniously, pulled the prisoner who had no way to escape, and pulled him in front of her. With a conquering attitude, she leaned down and pressed down. , proudly spit out the declaration.

“Even if you marry Thetis, your share will be mine!”

Well, this time she was jealous again, but her revenge on her husband and lover was different.
