Ares, God of War

"Because casting can cast weapons, chariots, and war fortifications." As the god of war, Ares naturally said the excuse he had prepared: "As the god of war, I care about the skill of casting war equipment in war. Is there anything wrong?"

Hephaestus thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no problem with this reason, so he replied: "Alright, anyway, I have almost finished repairing the equipment on Mount Olympus recently, so I will take the time to teach you. .”

As biological brothers, both Hephaestus and Ares' divine power tend to be fire, but the flame of Ares is more violent and powerful than Hephaestus's, while the flame of Vulcan Hephaestus Firepower is easier to control.

It is also for this reason, and after becoming the god of war, that his physical strength is extremely tyrannical, so Ares dared to think to himself that it is not difficult to learn Hephaestus' casting technology under his conditions.

As long as he has learned these skills, he will be able to construct some properties of the black crystal without bothering Vulcan himself, which is also the safest option.

However, when Hephaestus began to teach, Ares realized that he was very wrong.

How can the weapons of gods in this era be comparable to human beings? To learn how to forge artifacts, Ares must learn a series of very complicated magic knowledge before fire control and hammering skills.

Fortunately, after becoming a protoss, his quick thinking and memory ability are several times higher than before. With the efforts of Ares, he finally learned what Professor Hephaestus taught and successfully entered the door. In the past, Ares would never have learned such a complicated and delicate thing.

For Ares' efforts, Hephaestus saw in his eyes and was very pleasantly surprised.

Unlike those gods on Mount Olympus who are proud of their talents and never allow others to be better than themselves in a certain skill, and never allow their own skills to be passed on to others, Hephaestus is a rare talent without arrogance. He is also a character who is willing to share his skills, and the casting skills of mortals in later generations are also taught by him.

Seeing that Ares had worked so hard to learn his casting, Hephaestus immediately looked at his brother more pleasing to the eye, and also tried to pass on what he had learned.

After about four or five years of study, Ares finally became a teacher from Hephaestus, the god of fire.

Although his casting skills are still far from the level of Vulcan, it is no problem to knock on some low-level treasures. Hephaestus' knowledge of casting and magic has also been completely learned by him. What is needed now It's just practice and experience.

And after he finished his studies, Ares did not delay, he immediately returned to his temple, ready to start analyzing the black crystal pendant.

But at this moment, outside the gate of the God of War Temple, a lower god suddenly came in a hurry. After seeing Ares sitting on the throne of God, he shouted in surprise:

"Ares, you are finally back. Where did you go yesterday? You didn't even attend Zeus' banquet."

"I went to inspect the land yesterday."

Ares made up a lie casually, and then asked:

"what happened?"

"Goddess Hebe has come to look for you. It seems that something extraordinary happened yesterday."

said the next god.

Chapter 5. Persuading Hera

Hebe is the goddess of youth who is in charge of youth and serves wine for the Olympian gods at the banquet. Like Ares, she is also the child of Hera and Zeus, and the two are brother and sister.

Incidentally, she was later married by Hera to the all-powerful Heracles, the strongest hero in Greece, that is to say, the rough and powerful Hercules in the future will be both Ares' younger brother and Ares' son. brother-in-law.

"Then invite my sister to come in quickly." Ares ordered immediately after hearing the words of the lower god.

After he gave the order, after a while, two nymphs belonging to the God of War led the beautiful goddess of youth Hebe into the temple of the God of War, and Ares didn't put on airs, and went straight down from the throne and greeted him.

"Hebe, my sister." He asked, "Why did you come to me in such a hurry?"

"Ares." Seeing Ares coming, Heber seemed relieved, and she asked, "My brother, what did you do yesterday? You missed the banquet held by Zeus himself."

"Me?" Ares replied, "I want to exercise myself, so I went to the earth yesterday to find a suitable monster to practice. What's wrong?"

Here Ares lied to Heber. In fact, he had been studying forging skills with Hephaestus yesterday, and he did not leave Mount Olympus.

Hebe looked at his expression carefully, and then said: "It seems that you didn't do anything for our mother Hera, so I can rest assured."

After speaking, he told Ares what happened yesterday.

It turned out that just yesterday, one of the many wives of Zeus, the goddess Leto entered the stage of childbirth, and would soon give birth to an offspring for Zeus, and because of this incident, the relationship between Zeus and Leto also changed Exposure in front of Hera.

Hera, the jealous mother of Ares and Hebe, naturally picked up her traditional art of persecuting the mistress, and she didn't know where she heard the prophecy that the goddess Leto gave birth to Zeus. The sons and daughters will be better than the ugly Hephaestus and the rude Ares, so they are jealous.

She sent her own monsters to persecute Leto and not allow her to give birth on the earth. Now, those monsters are chasing Leto, and the purpose of Zeus holding the banquet yesterday was to persuade other gods to persuade him Hera, it's a pity that Hera, who is angry now, can't listen to anyone.

Hearing the name Leto, Ares understood that this goddess is the mother of Apollo, the future god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and who is this pair of children compared to Hephaestus? It is hard to say that they are better, but in mythology, they must be better than Ares.

For his own plan, the two great gods, Apollo and Artemis, Ares must have a good relationship with them. Apollo can be in charge of important priesthoods such as prophecy and medical music, and Artemis is also good at controlling Beasts and hunting are very caring. After getting along with these two gods, Ares can learn a lot from them.

Moreover, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, was a character who appeared in mobile games in that world when Ares was still on earth in his previous life. If this goddess was born, then Ares might be able to confirm the place here with her appearance. Is it a type moon world?

After thinking about the powerful relationship for a while, Ares said to Heber:

"So that's the case, then I'll go and persuade Hera."

"Persuasion?" Heber was taken aback for a moment, and then said in astonishment: "Zeus has nothing to do with her now, how can you persuade her? It's not like you don't know the temperament of our mother god."

"Anyway, it's an established fact that the goddess Leto is going to give birth. As the son of Zeus, you don't want us to have a deadlock with our future brothers or sisters because of our mother." Ares shrugged: " As for Hera, as her son who is the most pleasing to the eye, I would like to sum up the strengths of it, and I think she should still be able to listen to it."

Just on the way, Ares simply asked his nymphs to fetch the gemstones stored in the Temple of War, and went to the Temple of Fire along the way, and asked Hephaestus to knock a beautiful brooch for Hera on the spot as a gift.

After the brooch was completed, Ares took the brooch to the temple where Hera was located.

Ever since he learned about the prophecy of Kratos' destruction, Ares has been thinking about his plan to survive, and according to the habits of the country where he lived in his previous life, he listed three strategies.

The best strategy is to stimulate the ability of black crystals to travel through time and space, run directly to other universes, and escape. However, this plan cannot be implemented due to technical reasons, so Ares can only concentrate on the middle strategy.

The middle strategy he thought of was to establish a good relationship with all the gods on Mount Olympus first, to be a good person with both sides, and to find a way to prevent other gods from seeing him as a threat, and then in this state , and then researched a magic that can escape the golden cicada's shell, feign death to escape, and avoid perishing with the Age of Gods.

As for the worst strategy... Ares thinks that he can imitate the posture of the savior Neihai, and offer his loyalty to Kratos when he kills him on Mount Olympus, but this plan is not safe, if it is the Nordic one who has cultivated himself The old God of War may still accept his allegiance, but whether the bald man who has been driven mad by the gods will accept it is really hard to say.

So now that Ares wants to persuade Hera, he is working hard to realize his middle strategy, and to build a good relationship with Artemis and Apollo siblings, which is tantamount to the best opportunity.

He came outside Hera's temple and asked the goddesses serving Hera to enter the temple to report, and soon got Hera's permission to enter the temple. The biological son was also missing.
