Fate: I Heard After Death, You Can Ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

Chapter 105: Promise's Eyes Suddenly Become Hollow



Hera, the Queen of Olympus,

She is the third-generation Queen of Heaven in ancient Greek mythology, also the goddess of marriage, and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, co-ruler sharing power with Zeus.

In the age of ancient Greek gods, the virgin goddesses Artemis, the moon goddess, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, presided over the virginity of young girls.

When a girl was to be married, she would return her virginity belt to the temple to either Athena or Artemis, entering the married phase overseen by the goddess of beauty and Hera.

Thus, in this era, it was said that if one's marriage received the blessing of Queen Hera, it would be the most beautiful and blissful marriage in the world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And any marriage granted by her was absolute and could not to be changed at will.

It was for this reason that the King of the Underworld, Hades, had Hera officiate his marriage with the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone.

However, according to future mythological records, it can be concluded that, the marriages witnessed and blessed by Hera, in most cases, were not blissful and happy, but rather seemed more like a silent curse...

Thus, as Hera made her vow, in her moment of great joy,

The goddess of fate, Clotho, couldn't help but touch the crystal ball in her bosom, which contained the thread of Promise's fate.

She truly thought Hera was formidable, in all senses.

Because she could see that the fate intertwined with Promise was now showing signs of loosening...

Promise was stunned,

His emerald eyes widened, staring blankly at Hera who, without waiting for his objection, directly made the vow.

It's known that in the age of gods... actually, even outside that age, divine vows are absolute. Especially those sworn in the name of a deity, which are vows that must be fulfilled.

This vow, like Athena's, was irreversible.

Once made, any regrets later were futile, and the whole world would push forward to make the content of the vow a reality.

"Goddess Hera, you..."

Promise opened his mouth, having much to say yet finding himself at a loss for words at that moment.

And since Hera couldn't peer into his thoughts through the strand of hair tied on his head, she naturally took his reaction for excitement and happiness.

After all, this was a marriage bestowed by her, Hera, and it was the grandest marriage among mortals, one that all gods would attend.

What an honor and wonderful thing it was!

"Don't worry, child." Therefore, Hera smiled, lifting her head proudly and promising Promise, "I will definitely find for you the most beautiful woman on earth, or the wisest goddess among the gods.

Because only they are worthy of my most beloved follower, you!"

The most beautiful woman on earth, Promise actually knew who she was.

That woman was Helen!

She was the most tragic victim in the hands of the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite.

She was the daughter of Zeus and Queen Leda of Sparta, and in myth, Helen had the ability to mimic the voice of any woman.

At the same time, she was the cause of the greatest battle in ancient Greek mythology-the Trojan War.

Promise had never met her but had often heard others mention her.

Because on the mountain of the centaur sage Chiron, a pair of twins often spoke of her to him, saying that if he ever came down from the mountain, he must find them and they would have their sister Helen welcome him.

Although they both said this, neither actually took him down the mountain, so they too were noted in Promise's little book of grudges.

These twins were none other than the future crew of the Argo, the divine twins Dioscuri!

And they were born from a goose egg.

Zeus, the king of gods, was fascinated by the appearance of the Queen of Sparta.

While she was bathing in the river, he transformed himself into a swan and forced her to have sex with him..

By the way, because of Helen, one of Promise's friends, Theseus, who had defeated the Minotaur and escaped the labyrinth, later went to the Underworld.

He planned to abduct Queen Persephone of the Underworld, but was punished and imprisoned by Hades, and it was Hercules who rescued Theseus.

However, though he was rescued, once Theseus left the Underworld, he immediately aged from a youth to a decrepit old man, thus retiring from the stage of heroes in Greek mythology.

As for the wisest goddess among the gods,

Promise knew her too!

Moreover, this goddess is still related to the Argonauts that he is seeking.

His friend, a student of the centaur sage, is named Peleus, who is the grandson of Zeus.

This might not sound familiar, so let's mention another name.

Achilles, who was dipped in the waters of the River Styx making him invulnerable except for

his heel...

Yes, this Peleus is Achilles' father.

And that most prudent goddess is named Thetis.

This goddess, during the original Titanomachy, even protected King Zeus.

Thetis was a sea goddess. Because of her beauty, status and virtue, both the king of gods Zeus and the god of the sea Poseidon pursued her, but neither of them could get her.

And later, when Zeus learned from Prometheus the prophecy about her that the child she gave birth to would be more powerful than the child's father, Zeus forbad her to have a relationship with any god, so she eventually fell into the hands of Peleus.

Thetis resisted and struggled against this, but under the pressure of Zeus, she was ultimately forced to accept this outcome.

At this moment, Promise's eyes seemed to lose their sparkle...

However, in fact, even without Hera's vow, these events were likely unavoidable for Promise.

Whether it's the remaining paintings of the gods, the quest for the Golden Fleece, or his dealings with the delicate goddess of fate, Clotho, he had already set foot on this path.

"When one chooses to walk against the path of fate, his life is destined to be a journey on the

road of destiny."

"He will always struggle against fate and paint the most beautiful destiny."

The emotionless goddess of fate, Atropos, listening and observing the vows, suddenly spoke

softly.

Her words naturally attracted the curious attention of nearby deities like Hestia and Demeter. Hecate had little reaction, as she too is an observer of fate, but precisely because of this, she displayed a clear disdain...

The sickly sister Lachesis, smiling, gently patted her sister Clotho's head and whispered with a light cough, "Have you had enough, Clotho? It's time for us to leave." Clotho nodded, took Lachesis's hand, and with their elder sisters, they were the first to exit.

They are the goddesses of fate, observing and recording destiny, even the destinies of gods are inevitable, thus they are among the least favored in the pantheon. Athena also regained her composure and then looked at Hermes who, surprisingly, had not taken the opportunity to escape but stood firm at the front of the onlookers.

After thinking it over,

Her mood had improved significantly, even becoming joyful upon realizing something, so there was no longer a need to vent her jealousy on Hermes.

But since the spear and shield were already drawn, it would be embarrassing to just put them

away.

So, she decided to go ahead with the confrontation.

With this thought, Athena once again approached Hermes.

Hermes, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly felt a chill on his neck and instinctively

looked back.

Damn, Athena is still after me!

"Stop chasing, stop chasing!"
