Prometheus stealing fire.
Soon Zeus, the king of the gods, was alerted.
Soon after, Apollo, the god of light, returned in his chariot.
He failed to catch Prometheus, and the journey was in vain.
"Apollo! Ares! Helios! In the name of the king of the gods, I command you to hunt down Prometheus, a damned traitor! How dare you steal God Fire, I will make him pay a terrible price! Let him Understand the consequences of offending the God King!"
Zeus roared with blue veins on his forehead.
His anger wasn't just because of the theft of fire.
Also because of betrayal! He believed in Prometheus, and Prometheus did such a thing!
"I'll wait, I promise to capture Prometheus!"
Apollo, the God of Light, Ares, the God of War, and Helios, the Sun God, came out together, responding solemnly to their god-king!
.....
An unknown mountain range.
I saw a stream of light cut through the darkness and descend from the sky!
Roll up a strong air pressure, bending the whole forest!
The streamer swayed to the ground, revealing his figure. It was a middle-aged man with a beard, holding a round cup in his right hand, and a flame was burning inside.
It was Prometheus.
"It seems you succeeded, Prometheus."
Hephaestus, sitting on a rock roasting a hare, glanced up and smiled.
The hare in his hand has been coated with a layer of honey, and it has been roasted until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"The stealing of fire was successful, but the result was terrible. I was discovered by Athena. Now Zeus should have ordered the gods to arrest me. That is to say, for safety reasons, we must immediately distribute the fire and flee to the underworld. "
Prometheus came with a magic fire in his hand.
Right now, his whole body seems to be shrouded in light, which looks very sacred.
When Hephaestus heard this, his eyes turned golden. He looked around and said, "Don't be so nervous. No one has come after you yet. You will get half of the roasted rabbit."
"Hephaestus!" cried Prometheus, frowning.
Hephaestus divides the roasted rabbit into two portions.
Poked one of them directly in front of him.
Prometheus twitched his nostrils a few times and found that this thing smells heavily... So he looked at Hephaestus and looked around: "Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Prometheus took the rabbit meat, opened his mouth and took a big bite, his mouth was filled with flavor, and the meat juice overflowed.
He is a god and rarely eats food.
So Hephaestus, the roasted rabbit, directly captured his taste buds, and he devoured the half roasted rabbit in three or five mouthfuls.
At this time, Hephaestus also finished his share, and used the priesthood of the river god to call out water to wash his hands, and said, "It's time for us to act. Prometheus, you should know the way to the underworld, right?"
Prometheus was a little bit unfinished, smacking his lips and said: "If human beings have fire, they can also eat such delicious food."
He wiped his mouth and got serious:
"Of course, Hephaestus, the underworld is very dangerous. Although you have the Sun God Fire, don't take it lightly. On the way to the underworld, you must follow my instructions."
Hephaestus raised his eyebrows, indicating that there was no problem, and then picked up the Holy Grail beside Prometheus to look at it.
The never-extinguishing divine fire was clearly reflected in his eyes, surging continuously.
Hephaestus could feel the power contained within.
Very huge and vast!
"Before that, give fire to humans first!"
Hephaestus was quite excited.
The darkness of the human world will be completely illuminated tonight!
Soon, Prometheus and Hephaestus split up to distribute fire to humans.
this night.
In the deep and boundless darkness of the world.
Raise clusters of flames that will never be extinguished!
And the cheers of human beings resounded through every corner of the earth!
....
Do it all.
Hephaestus and Prometheus are in a good mood.
After human beings have fire, the quality of life and the speed of development and progress will be greatly improved, and they will no longer have to drink blood and be afraid of darkness and beasts.
However, the two of them could not watch this scene happen.
They also have to go to the underworld to take refuge.
Zeus must have been furious and sent someone to arrest Prometheus.
....
To go to the underworld, one must follow the path passed by the dead soul.
First of all, the first stop is Erebus.
As far as Hephaestus knew, Erebus was part of the Underworld.
Located between the earth and the underworld, it is the place where the dead first pass.
"Hephaestus, remember, don't talk or light fire in Erebus, or you will disturb Erebus and bring disaster to us!"
This is what Prometheus ordered before entering Erebus.
After entering, Hephaestus understood why there was a rule not to light the fire.
It's too dark in here.
Almost pitch black.
If they were not gods, they would be almost blind here.
"Erebos, the primordial god."
"According to Prometheus' prophecy, I will also be able to reach the original god in the future... The premise is that I can forge enough artifacts."
In the dark.
Hephaestus and Prometheus walk side by side.
Hephaestus kept thinking.
Erebos is an ancient and powerful god, born of the God Chaos, a powerful primordial god, the incarnation of darkness. He is also the ruler of this dark kingdom.
If this one is alarmed, neither of them can escape.
along the way.
Hephaestus saw many ghosts passing by.
They were in a daze, as if they were summoned, and they seemed to follow their instincts, passing through this dark kingdom, and rushing to a deeper underworld.
I don't know how long I walked.
Hephaestus and Prometheus have finally come to the end of darkness.
Here is a large garden full of black poplars and coconut trees.
A breeze blew by.
There was a faint smell of decaying blood coming from inside.
Moreover, there seemed to be dark shadows moving inside.
In this dead silent and terrifying dark environment, it was extremely creepy.
"..."
Prometheus looked at Hephaestus and pointed forward.
— we go through here.
Of course Hephaestus understood.
The two stepped into the garden in three steps and five steps.
The garden of Persephone at the gates of the underworld!
