Chapter 35: Olympians.

[A/N: I will be honest, I am surprised that this novel took a thousand stones of power ... I thought that was not possible. Either way, enjoy the bonus chapter.]

....

A beautiful woman with long blond hair was walking hurriedly in a large luxurious palace.

Despite this woman's expression of concern and anxiety, despite her messy clothes, she still looked divinely beautiful.

Opening a large gate with just one hand, she enters a place that appears to be a throne room.

"Zeus!!" The woman's scream echoed in the throne room.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Aphrodite?"

Aphrodite turns towards the voice. Soon she meets a beautiful woman with long blond hair like hers. She was wearing a white outfit that highlights her voluptuous body, she also had a queen's crown on her head.

But what stood out most about this woman was not her divine appearance or the crown on her head, what stood out in this woman was her dead eyes.

She had cold eyes that contained great indifference to everything, it was as if she didn't care about anything.

"Hera ..." Aphrodite said.

"... Won't you call me a mother?" Hera asked. "Well, it doesn't really matter." She continued in a nonchalant tone.

Hera walks towards two thrones that were made for a King and a Queen. Arriving in front of the throne, she looks with her dead eyes towards the Queen's throne.

Several imperceptible emotions pass through Hera's eyes, but soon these emotions disappear and her eyes return to the indifferent eyes that she had.

She sits on the throne and looks at her daughter. "What do you want?"

Sensing the coolness in Hera's tone, Aphrodite swallows a little. Aphrodite knows what's going on. In fact, if any Olympian god thinks about it, they'll understand Hera's behavior.

The queen goddess of Olympus was tired of Zeus' pranks. The last incident that Zeus caused that was making a daughter with Hippolyta was Hera's boiling point, from that moment on, she stopped showing emotions. She got colder and more dangerous, now that she doesn't show her emotions, nobody knows what she is planning.

Hera was the one who raised the Amazons, she was practically the mother of that race. She had a good relationship with Hippolyta, but Zeus destroyed all of that.

Tired of her husband's betrayals, Hera changed forever. She is faithful to Zeus only because of the divinity that forced her to be faithful, it was like a collar that she can never remove.

"Ares ... Ares was kidnapped by a god from another pantheon."

"... And?" Hera spoke coldly.

"Huh? Isn't he your son? Aren't you going to help him? "

Hera gives a cold smile. "I don't see the reason to help him." With a hand gesture, Hera takes a gold glass. Then a bottle of wine appears in Hera's other hand, she fills the glass with wine and begins to drink calmly.

"What?" Aphrodite said unbelievingly. If it were in other times, that would be enough for Hera to declare war with an entire pantheon.

Hera looks at her daughter. "Ares is already an adult, I will not clean his ass when he does shit. Maybe the experience with the gods of another pantheon will help him grow up?" She spoke with a small laugh.

Aphrodite opened her eyes in surprise. She never saw Hera speaking so rudely, she was always elegant even when she was angry.

Aphrodite starts to get irritated. "Hera!" she takes a step forward towards Hera.

Hera just raises an eyebrow and looks at Aphrodite. "If you get any closer, I will declare you as a traitor ... And I will kill you myself."

"What ...?" Aphrodite stopped walking and looked at Hera in a daze.

"Oh? Too bad, you didn't keep walking, I could use that as an excuse to remove your divinity and eliminate you forever. " Hera spoke in a nonchalant tone. It was as if she hadn't been talking to her own daughter.

"..."

Aphrodite was scared, she had never seen Hera like this. She doesn't know how to act when she sees such an indifferent Hera.

"Would you kill your own daughter?" She asked discredited.

Hera looked at Aphrodite as if she were looking at a fool. "And?"

"Huh?"

"I'm saying, so what if you are my daughter?"

"...."

Hera smiled coldly. "You think you're very important, right? After all, you are the goddess of beauty, vanity is rooted in your soul, but remember... You are nothing ... "

Aphrodite felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, she never thought she would hear those words from her mother.

Aphrodite takes a deep breath and changes the subject. "Where's Zeus at?"

Hera takes another sip of wine. "Who knows? He's probably fucking another human or animal out there. Maybe he's playing with a man? I would not doubt it, I remember that it happened in the past. " She spoke with disgust.

Aphrodite bites her lip in frustration. "Do you plan to save Ares?" She asked again.

"Are you deaf? Do I need to spell it out for you? I don't care about Ares. "

"..."

Aphrodite clenches her fists in anger, but she dares not do anything. She knows very well that Hera was not kidding when she said she was going to kill her.

"I don't know who was the god who kidnapped Ares, but I sincerely want to meet him. Even though we are weaker than in the past, we are still gods of Olympus." Hera spoke of curiosity.

Hera closes her eyes and uses her cosmic consciousness. Then she sees a man with long red hair wearing black armor while giving orders with a neutral eye.

Suddenly the man looks towards Hera with a serious face. "Who are you?" He asked with eyes shining red, he clearly didn't like this situation.

Soon Hera stops using her powers.

Hera felt her body tremble when her eyes met the man's. "... Hahahahahahaha!"

She started to laugh. Her laugh contained various emotions like fun, nostalgia, madness and a little hope.

Aphrodite didn't understand why Hera started to laugh suddenly, but she decides not to say anything. She just wants to leave this place.

Aphrodite starts walking towards the exit.

Hera stops laughing and looks at Aphrodite. "Girl, I suggest you give up on Ares."

Aphrodite stops walking and looks at Hera seriously. "Why?"

Hera has a huge smile on her face. "He was captured by Rao, the king god of Krypton. He is very fucked up, I even feel sorry for my son now, HAHAHAHA."

Aphrodite's body trembles with fear and a little excitement. "But how? Hadn't he been killed? " She completely forgot about Ares ...

"Gods do not die, as long as there is faith, of course." Hera spoke the obvious.

"That's not what I'm talking about! You know that there is another method of making a god die! Rao died in the past! How can he be alive !? "

Hera doesn't answer, she just shows a cold smile. "Don't even think about it, bitch."

"Huh?" Aphrodite did not understand the sudden insult.

"In the past, you managed to seduce Rao, but I realize that the 'Rao' current is very different from the past." Hera has a cold smile. "He is much more serious, he is much more focused than the old 'Rao'. He is much more worthy of being called 'King' than this disappointment that has the name of Zeus."

Aphrodite still didn't understand what Hera was saying.

Hera displays a happy smile that she rarely did. "I wonder if it will destroy Olympus ... Ahhh ~! That would be an interesting thing to see! "

Aphrodite sounds cold, she looks at Hera like she's looking at a madman. "You have gone crazy, Hera."

Hera's smile breaks for a few seconds, but soon her smile recovers.

Aphrodite takes a deep breath and continues: "Even if it's Rao, he won't be able to destroy Olympus alone." She said, she turns and walks towards the exit.

Seeing Aphrodite leaving, Hera stops smiling and returns her indifferent expression, she shows a small cold smile. "He is not alone." She whispers coldly, then Hera disappears.
