Chapter 275: Hecate’s Little Thoughts
Hemera had been thinking about this nonstop during this time, truly every minute and every moment, day and night, waiting for just this moment.
And now, because she as the Mother Goddess was too obsessed with the God King… she had completely forgotten…
This…
How could it be described merely as “embarrassing”?
Not even mortified enough to want to find a hole to crawl into!
The Goddess of Night’s already flushed delicate face was now red as if a delicate flower was weeping blood.
She trembled as she covered her shame-filled face with her jade hand, truly feeling it would be better to just pass out directly.
Unfortunately, for a Supreme Great God like her, wanting to pass out was absolutely impossible.
Even wanting to make her divinity unclear-headed was very difficult.
Except under the God King’s fierce Lash, when she would briefly lose consciousness, in any other situation, she truly had never been unclear-headed.
She forced herself to calm down, her mind racing, urgently wanting to quickly come up with a good excuse.
Tell the truth? Absolutely not!
How could she possibly say this out loud?!
Did she still want any face as the Mother Goddess?!
Face could be discarded in front of her beloved Zeus, she could coquetry however she wanted, entwine however she wanted, the God King could do whatever He wanted.
But in front of her own children…
Must, have, it!
In fact, in that clear cold Silver Moon—Aetheron of the Underworld, Hemera who had been waiting for a long time was already anxious beyond measure.
She was also very puzzled, it had been so long, why hadn’t Mother Goddess sent any message? Not a single word.
Beside her, the radiant Hecate quietly watched her good Sister, her own heart surging with thoughts.
Ever since coming to Aetheron, this good Sister who held authority over “Daylight” had always seemed distressed.
This formed a stark contrast with the other Brothers and Sisters.
After all, the other Brothers and Sisters, after temporarily escaping from Mother Goddess’s suffocating “low pressure,” had all seemed much more relaxed.
It was truly because Mother Goddess’s emotions recently had been too unpredictable, truly too Terrifying, no one dared to get too close.
Yet good Sister Hemera still kept wanting to return to Mother Goddess’s side.
This was undoubtedly too strange.
Though good Sister had a gentle and delicate personality, she shouldn’t be so worried about Mother Goddess.
For an eternal Supreme Goddess like Mother Goddess, merely being in a bad mood because of the Great Father God, she fundamentally didn’t need any Gods to worry about her.
Even when playing games with the Brothers and Sisters, she had an absent-minded look.
She even kept subconsciously glancing frequently toward the Mother Goddess’s Divine Palace.
More accurately, she wanted to look but didn’t dare, only occasionally darting a quick glance before immediately looking away.
Her gaze was filled with complex and inscrutable emotions, along with clear Expectation and Anxiety.
The more Hecate thought, the more curious she became.
A real yet vague Flash of Inspiration kept drifting in her mind.
She felt that if she could grasp it, she could understand everything.
But this most crucial point was something she couldn’t grasp no matter what.
However, she was certain this matter was related to Mother Goddess!
And it was definitely related to that matter they had been secretly pondering during this time.
Ever since good Sister came to her domain, she had been wondering: during this time, what exactly had Mother Goddess and this good Sister been secretly plotting?
Vaguely, she had heard something about a “Surprise”?
A “Surprise” for the Great Father God.
Explain, what is a Surprise?
Exactly what kind of Surprise?
Until she noticed that the originally dead silent and oppressive Night Curtain enveloping the entire Underworld began to surge violently like it had Life, like a Deep Sea stirred by lunar tides into undercurrents, circle after circle, rolling higher and higher.
Unable to contain her Curiosity, she secretly cast her gaze downward, toward where Mother Goddess’s Aura was most concentrated.
Hmm…
Nothing could be seen…
As the sole source of light in the Underworld, she was undoubtedly a powerful Goddess, and she also held the Supreme authority to guide the Undead into the Underworld.
It could be said that in the entire Underworld, there was almost nowhere she couldn’t see.
But even so, peering through the Night Curtain personally laid by the Goddess of Night was absolutely impossible.
What she could see was only the night like water, layer upon layer swirling, surging more and more turbulently like boiling.
However, soon she saw that amid that pitch-black Night Curtain, golden Lightning appeared one after another, leaping violently within it.
She immediately understood.
Oh~
The Great Father God has arrived~
Hecate was startled, her small mouth opening wide in a perfect circle.
She subconsciously covered her small mouth, quickly steadying her mind.
She quietly glanced left and right, fortunately no God noticed her undignified appearance.
On that snow-white face as clear and cold as a ghostly moon, a faint blush imperceptibly rose.
She wasn’t some innocent little Goddess who knew nothing.
Don’t forget, by her side there was still a good Sister named—Philotes.
That Goddess who held authority over “Friendship” and “Affection.”
Under Philotes’s influence, she couldn’t help but know a lot even if she didn’t want to.
Knowing Father God had arrived, her heart was naturally both shocked and delighted.
Though being able to accompany Mother Goddess was a very happy thing.
But if Father God was accompanying too, that would be even happier, double the happiness!
Unfortunately, Father God’s shoulders bore the Three Realms and Three Domains, the six directions and eight reaches.
The God King’s affairs of state were truly too busy, He had never had time to come to the Underworld.
So she could only think about it in her heart.
However, since Father God had come, after confiding Affection with Mother Goddess, she should at least get to see Him once.
Happy!
But after the happiness, Hecate became even more puzzled.
Father God arriving wasn’t strange at all.
But why was good Sister Hemera still paying such close attention to the Movement on Mother Goddess’s side?
Hmm?!!!
Could it be!
What good Sister was paying attention to wasn’t Mother Goddess at all, but… Father God?!
A bolt of Electric Light as if from the Temple of Wisdom flashed through, and in Hecate’s chaotic Thought, clouds parted to reveal the sun!
This Electric Light connected all the clues, giving her an extremely bold suspicion!
No wonder, no wonder!
Sister Hemera was originally supposed to reside on Olympus.
Moreover, as one of the indispensable Great Gods in the Universe, she should have returned to Olympus long ago, she shouldn’t be lingering in the Underworld!
So… so she was here, waiting for Father God’s Arrival…
After all, Mother Goddess had always been in the Underworld, so Father God would come sooner or later.
Mother Goddess must know about this!
No, more than know!
Sister Hemera’s this behavior must have Mother Goddess’s Support!
Without Mother Goddess’s Support, Sister Hemera absolutely wouldn’t dare to have such a Delusion.
But… with Mother Goddess’s strong possessive nature, how could she Support such a thing?
She wished to completely possess Father God, right?
Could it be… the recent pressure was too great?
Or feeling there were too many Goddesses on Mount Olympus, Competition getting fiercer?
That… made sense.
After basically figuring it out, Hecate kept glancing at Hemera from time to time.
She pretended to be casual, but was actually extremely attentive.
Now, she could completely understand Hemera’s distressed state.
No wonder, when everyone had just started playing the game not long ago, she said “Mother Goddess might have something to Summon me for later” and stopped playing.
Looking at it now, she was clearly waiting for Mother Goddess to Summon her…
Wait!!!
Since Mother Goddess could Support Sister Hemera…
Doesn’t that mean…
!!!
Hecate only felt her little Heart starting to “thump thump” wildly, unable to slow down no matter what.
An idea she had never thought of before, extremely bold, spread like wildfire rapidly burning in her heart.
This fire couldn’t be extinguished no matter what, couldn’t be suppressed.
Hecate casually picked up a cup of Divine Wine and drank it all in one go.
But this cold, refreshing sweet Fine Wine, upon entering her throat, only made the flames in her heart burn even fiercer.
Now, she too became heavy-hearted like Hemera.
And began secretly looking toward that surging Underworld Night Curtain.
Until she sensed that in the Underworld, two unfamiliar yet intimate powerful Auras had newly appeared.
Hecate then knew she must have two more Brothers and Sisters.
Hemera naturally sensed it too, her heart filled with Surprise and excitement.
She figured Mother Goddess should be sending a message now, right?
It should be…
My turn, right?
And then she had been waiting until now…
Until that Night Curtain covering the entire Underworld began to gradually Dispersal.
Hecate, who could take in the entire Underworld at a glance, clearly saw a streak of golden Lightning flash and vanish from deep within the Night Curtain.
‘Yikes! Father God is so mean! After getting close with Mother Goddess, He just left directly! Not thinking at all to come see me… us Sisters!’
After a little sulk, Hecate pretended to casually glance toward the corner.
Hemera was sitting primly, absent-minded, practically like a statue formed from Daylight rays.
Her heart was full of doubt.
Could it be she had thought wrong?
Hecate’s heart sank.
But that didn’t seem right either.
Given Sister Hemera’s recent “abnormal” behavior, it couldn’t be that she was wrong.
So where exactly had it gone wrong?
Could it be… Mother Goddess changed her mind at the last minute?
Or… forgotten?
Her bright eyes turned, deciding to play it safe first!
So she gracefully rose, her Hem trailing silently on the ground, avoiding the playful Brothers and Sisters, and leisurely walked to the dazed Hemera’s side, gently taking her slightly cool little hand.
Softly saying: “Dear Sister, have you been too tired lately? Do you want to rest first?”
