Chatting with Russell was not very pleasant, because he was the only one who enjoyed it, and Ai'e was not the first person to want to die, nor would she be the last.
"Since you don't want to answer, we will temporarily define your gender as 'neither male nor female'."
Russell said that he was very open-minded and not the kind of person who cares about everything. He put away his joking and said seriously: "Answer me, why are you following Perseus and who is commanding you?"
The black arms were wrapped tightly, strangling Ai'e so hard that she couldn't breathe. Her face turned red and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Then, after loosening his arms a little, Ai'e immediately said: "I can't answer this question for you, but I can promise that I will not hurt Perseus. I have always protected him and helped him through difficulties many times. .”
"Really, where were you when the tsunami hit?"
Russell dismissed it and tightened the black arms again. Ai'e was sweating profusely, and the bones in her body creaked and she twisted and moaned.
After letting go again, a black arm stretched out from behind Russell, with a black flame sword thrust out of his palm, and pressed against Ai'e's eyebrows: "Last chance, whose order are you taking?"
Aware of Russell's substantial murderous intention, Ai'e felt herself falling into the ice cave. She held back the pain and said with difficulty: "I can tell you, but you must not tell Perseus."
"no problem."
Russell agreed happily, and Ai'e sighed, knowing that he was not sincere at all, but still told the story of the cause and effect.
"First of all, my name is Ai'e. I am a human who refused to be promoted to a god. Therefore, I was cursed and became immortal."
Speaking of immortality, Ai'e showed a little sadness: "The curse made me watch my relatives and friends die one by one, and I lived in pain forever, and it also stripped away my emotions bit by bit."
"If immortality were a curse, many people would be damned to die."
"That's because they can't tell what's more precious!"
"Well, the difference between getting and not getting..."
Russell shook his head slightly: "Forget it, this is the end of the irrelevant topic, let's continue."
"In order to get rid of the curse, I sought help from others. By chance, I met the three goddesses of fate and learned how to break the curse."
Russell remained calm after hearing this and continued to listen to Ai'e's explanation of the cause.
"The goddess told me that my fate is closely related to Perseus. When he makes his choice, I can be freed from the curse."
"Be specific, what choice?"
"That's all I know. The goddess didn't tell me what the specific choices would be and what kind of situation Perseus would face."
Ao shook her head and said: "This is why I never show up in front of Perseus. I escorted him to you and watched him grow up, but never interfered in his life."
Russell was silent for a moment and said abruptly: "Perseus has a great figure. He has taken advantage of you over the years, but he is still a child. I am his big brother. He will do anything to me."
"..."
Ai'e didn't respond, and judging from her expression, she probably refused.
The scene was a bit awkward. Russell coughed lightly and continued: "I have known for a long time that Perseus is not a human being. Tell me, who are his parents and what does they have to do with Mount Olympus?"
Ai'e had a complicated expression when she heard this: "The gods created humans and ordered them to sing praises for their great achievements and ask for everything from them. As time went by, humans' anger towards the gods gradually overcame their respect, and countless people stood up to resist. Want to overthrow the rule of the gods.”
"Among them, there was a king named Acres who was the most outstanding. He led his army to conquer and defeat the countries loyal to the gods, all the way to the foot of Olympus, in order to demonstrate to the gods."
"The gods were furious and wanted to destroy Acres and his army, but Zeus refused and chose another way to punish Acres. Zeus turned into Acres and sneaked into the queen's palace. .”
"Acres who could not capture Mount Olympus..."
"etc!"
Russell's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to straighten Ai'e: "Do you know how to tell a story? Why are you talking without any beginning or end? Zeus sneaked into the queen's palace. What's behind, let's continue!"
Ai'e: (눈_눈)
"Don't look at me like that. There is no one as pure as me in this world! It's just that I... a friend, am very curious about what will happen next."
Russell said with a serious face: "Not only my friend, but I personally also feel that there is something fishy about this stormy night. A crucial event must have happened. It is the turning point of the whole story and is related to the mystery of Perseus' life experience."
"It wasn't stormy or nighty, I never said that!"
Ai'e was so angry that her chest hurt, and some people pretended to be confused despite their clear understanding. She said angrily: "I don't know what happened, but after Acres returned to the palace, the queen gave birth to a child, the son of Zeus. Demigod Perseus.”
"You really can't tell stories!"
Russell shook his head in silence. It was a good story, with foreshadowing and passion, but it ended abruptly at a critical point. Bad review!
Also, Zeus is vicious and cruel, and he solves all problems by conquering women. He is worthy of the name Long Aotian.
Acres is the spiritual leader of mankind who rebels against the gods. If he wears this cuckold, not only will he lose face, but the morale of the human army will collapse in an instant.
"Acris was extremely angry. Faced with the irreversible outcome, he hated Zeus so much that he ordered the execution of the queen who had lost her virginity. He put the queen's body and the baby Perseus into a coffin and threw them into the sea together. .”
"Acris cursed Zeus and was struck by thunder. His whole body was turned into charcoal, and he became neither human nor ghost. He disappeared from sight and lived in the double torture of mind and body."
After Ai'e finished telling the story of Perseus, she remained silent for a long time and then added: "You all know what happened next. I escorted Perseus and let him be picked up by the fisherman Spyros on the vast sea."
"He~~tui!"
Russell spat highly corrosive spit on the ground, causing billowing black smoke to rise: "Zeus, a beast, gave birth but did not raise it, and even killed the queen. He deserves to have a son without little Jiji."
Ai'e: "..."
She wanted to defend Perseus, but she was afraid that Russell would ask him if she spoke out, so she simply pretended not to have heard.
"The same goes for the king named Ares. He has no abilities, but he vents his grievances on his wife. What kind of man is he?"
Russell was disdainful again. The whole story was a tragedy, and the most pitiable person was the queen.
Ai'e: "..."
The name of the kingdom is Acres, and Ares is the name of the God of War. If you talk nonsense like this, you will make enemies.
Ai'e thought about it for a while, but she didn't say it out loud after all. Russell's interrogation methods made it clear that he was not a gentleman, and she wished that such a person would be unlucky.
"Finally, why do you refuse the promotion of God?"
Russell let go of the black arm wrapped around Ai'e and frowned: "If you don't refuse, nothing will happen next. Besides, being promoted to a god should be a good thing."
Seeing that Russell had really released herself, Ai'e was very surprised. She slightly raised her favorability score from negative to zero. She didn't hold anything back when she heard the questions and answered truthfully.
"The god who wants to promote me is Zeus, the king of gods. What he wants is not a goddess, but a prostitute for his fun and entertainment."
Ai'e mourned for her fate: "I also thought about surrendering, but I couldn't do it. Queen Hera is the most jealous. If I agree to Zeus, my family and friends, including myself, will suffer huge disasters."
"Then you rejected Zeus, and he put a curse on you that took a long time to force you to submit?"
"That's true!"
"Poor woman, it's not your fault that you are beautiful, but it is your fault that you are weak."
Russell sighed sarcastically. Like the queen of Ares, Ai'e cannot decide her own destiny, but in order to get rid of the curse, she has to accept the guidance of the three goddesses of fate.
How ironic!
"Now that you've asked me, I also have a question for you."
Ai'e looked at Russell warily: "Who are you, and why are you lurking around Perseus?"
"Haha, you are a woman who is really beaten and beaten. What qualifications do you have to ask me to answer your questions?"
Russell waved his hand arrogantly, rolled up a black arm and wrapped it around Ai'e's thin neck: "First of all, I came to Spyros's house first before Perseus. I didn't know there was such a demigod. Secondly, even if I have an idea, what can you do to me?"
"..."
Ai'e couldn't breathe and was thrown to the ground by Russell.
"Go back to Perseus and I will treat you as if you don't exist and I won't tell him about you."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Ai'e spoke bitterly, feeling unable to control herself again and feeling sad for herself.
After she finished speaking, she stood there blankly, and when she raised her head, she realized that Russell had left at some point.
…
Royal palace, banquet hall.
The black vortex danced without any wind, drawing all the soldiers with shields and swords into it. No one with shawls and armor was left behind.
"You are as small as the dust between my fingers, but you dare to speak loudly and make comments about the gods. It is really ridiculous."
Hades's eyes flashed, and invisible aura came out of his body. In the banquet hall, everyone groveled and knelt down before the master of the underworld, not daring to stand side by side with him.
"You will pay the price for your arrogance. Ten days later, during the solar eclipse, darkness covers the earth. I will release the sea monster and raze Argos to the ground..."
Hades waved his hand and brought up a burst of black mist, which swept away the queen's life, making her become old and her beauty no longer existed.
This is the most severe punishment for a woman.
"Your foolish behavior offends the gods, and Zeus is very dissatisfied with it, but if you pray to Mount Olympus again, Zeus will forgive you fools,"
After finishing the trivial task, Hades turned to look at Princess Andromeda and sneered: "Sacrifice this princess with unparalleled beauty, whose appearance makes Aphrodite jealous, and only her flesh and blood will be sacrificed." It can satisfy the sirens and appease the anger of your heavenly father Zeus.”
"Now, make your choice, pray to the gods and sacrifice the princess, or continue your arrogance and let the entire city be destroyed."
It was a desperate choice, at least for Andromeda. After Hades finished speaking, she found that many people looked at her with extremely unkind eyes.
Vaguely, she heard countless vicious curses. The disaster came because of her and should be stopped by her.
"I disagree!"
Just when Andromeda was in despair, a sonorous and powerful voice of rejection sounded in the hall.
She raised her head in astonishment. In front of her was a bronze background wall, made up of several muscles. It was solid and powerful, and the powerful and thick male charm rushed towards her face, which was extremely reassuring.
In an instant, Andromeda's heart trembled. She found a man she could rely on, who could protect her from wind and rain and say 'no' to the gods.

After finishing several shapes, Perseus raised his foot and stomped on the ground, spitting viciously at Hades.
"roll!"
"..."
Hades: (''・ˍ・)
There was dead silence in the hall. No matter what other people thought, Hades was done.
He liked this eldest nephew, whose IQ was enough to put Zeus in shame.
