Chapter 4: The Incomplete God! (Please add it to your collection!)
[As a modern person who grew up under the red flag, your courage exceeds everyone’s imagination. You are not afraid of the majesty of the gods, and you dare to look for Hephaestus without asking for permission. ]
[And, you, who have lived here for sixteen years, really have a way to find this god of forging! ]
[Keeping time, bypassing Okreya and Otenia who are responsible for cleaning the temple today, you carefully walk to the palace in the deepest part of the temple. ]
[Because there is a volcano inside the temple, the temperature rises the further you go inside. ]
[Perhaps for Hephaestus and Okreya, who are the creations of the gods, this temperature is nothing. ]
[Even those great heroes of the Age of Gods can easily withstand the high temperature. ]
[But a weak chicken like you is obviously a bit overwhelmed. 】
[Every time you walk a certain distance, you will sweat a lot. The sweat will evaporate due to the high temperature before it can even drip. 】
[Seeing the palace gate approaching, you grit your teeth and walk inside step by step with a pale face. 】
[Closer, closer. 】
[You touch the cold steel of the door with your hands, and use all your strength to push a gap and get in. 】
[Then, a heat wave hits, almost knocking you to the ground. 】
[The interior of the palace used for forging is simply a big furnace! 】
[If you can hold on to the temperature outside by gritting your teeth, then the temperature inside is like roasting you dry! 】
[You will die here in a minute at most! 】
[Do you want to go back? 】
【You looked back and saw that Ocleya and Otenia were indeed outside the door, looking at you with worried eyes. 】
【”Come back, Zoe.” 】
【”If you go any further, you will die.” 】
【”The master won’t blame you if you come back now.” 】
【Euclea didn’t say that, but you felt her thoughts. 】
【Will I die? 】
【I thought I wouldn’t be afraid at all. After all, it was just a simulation, and death wouldn’t be real death. 】
【It wasn’t until the moment you really stood on the edge of the cliff that you realized that you hadn’t overcome the fear of death. 】
【Your legs were shaking and your heart was beating fast. 】
【I don’t know if it was because of fear or because your body had reached its limit. 】
【But it doesn’t matter. 】
【You took a deep breath, and your lungs were burning. 】
[This pain makes you realize that if you want to see Hephaestus, you must pass the test in front of you. 】
[This is the first test she has given you. 】
[If you can’t even take the first step, how can you become a world-famous hero? 】
[Go forward. 】
[Keep moving forward. 】
[Your brain is getting more and more dizzy, and every step uses up all your strength. 】
[I don’t know how long I walked, I have already lost the sense of temperature. ]
[Finally, relying on perseverance and faith, with the weak body of a mortal, I walked in front of Hephaestus. ]
……………………………………………………………………….
Hephaestus is the child of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and Zeus, the King of Gods.
Because the right half of his face covered with flame patterns is too ugly, Hera is not happy.
So Hephaestus was born unfortunate.
The indifferent Hera, unable to tolerate the ugliness of her child’s appearance, actually threw her down from Mount Olympus.
Hephaestus tumbled in the air for a whole day, and finally fell heavily on the island of Lemnos, breaking both legs.
She became a disabled god.
Unable to stand up again, she could only sit on a chair all day, relying on her forging skills to gain a place among the gods.
But his disabled legs and ugly appearance will always be a pain in Hephaestus’ heart.
It is also the source of her inferiority complex.
Therefore, Hephaestus is crazy about perfect things.
He used a trick to shrink Hera on the throne and asked to marry the beautiful goddess of love Aphrodite.
Unfortunately, the goddess of love Aphrodite looked down on Hephaestus. The god she liked was the god of war Ares.
The combination of two gods who did not love each other would naturally not have a good ending.
As it should be, Aphrodite cuckolded Hephaestus.
Hephaestus himself did not mind much, she was a goddess, not a male god.
Just wear it.
Originally, it was only out of the desire for beautiful things that he asked Hera, the queen of heaven, to marry the goddess of love to himself.
But……………………
Why is it still so unwilling?
Why can’t the anger in the chest be calmed?
Hephaestus didn’t understand until sixteen years ago, when Eucleia brought a baby, she vaguely understood.
——I am an incomplete god.
So my creations are also incomplete.
Just like Eucleia and others who can never transform from puppets to humans, incomplete gods are destined to be unable to create perfect works.
Hephaestus looked away and quietly watched the boy who fell unconscious on his legs as soon as he came in.
Subconsciously, he gently rubbed the boy’s weak hair with his slender fingers.
I felt a little relieved for the first time in a long time.
Sure enough, I still like beautiful things.
Hephaestus’s left eye, which was not covered by the mask, became a little gentler in a rare way.
Unfortunately, this bit of gentleness turned intoIndifferent.
“Huh——”
“My head is so groggy, where am I?”
Lin Yi slowly woke up, his head hurt a little, but he could think normally.
“Since I’m not dead, it means I’ve come to His Majesty Hephaestus, right?”
Hmm?
Why is it a little soft?
While talking to himself, his smart IQ quietly returned.
Lin Yi’s body stiffened, and he successfully realized what the soft flesh he pinched was.
Like a thief caught on the spot, he raised his head with a guilty conscience and faced Hephaestus’ expressionless half face.
It’s bad!
I really touched Hephaestus’s leg!
Who doesn’t know that Hephaestus’ biggest taboo is her legs and the right face under the mask?
If you dare to humiliate her like this, it would be normal even if you are thrown into the volcano on the spot.
Lin Yi withdrew his hand and tried to make a final struggle.
The boy stood up quickly and showed a flattering smile.
“Your Majesty Hephaestus, if I say I didn’t mean it, do you believe it?”
