Kapitel 69: Chapter 85: Hestia 2
[A/N: sorry for the delay, my contry was quarantined and as I was one of the people who got COVID, I had to do several tests to see if I had the disease or not, because of that, I stayed in the hospital for several days, I had I left the chapters stored and I would update by cell phone, but the chapters ended at 84, I had to wait to be discharged from the hospital to be able to post chapter 85. Anyway, enjoy.]
...............
[My Lord, something happened that requires your attention.] I hear Zero's voice coming from the communicator in my armor.
I open my eyes and raise my hands, I click a few buttons on my gauntlet and then a hologram appears in front of me: "This is ..."
Soon I see images of a personal Kryptonian ship entering Earth's atmosphere.
"Zero, explain yourself."
[According to the mother ship's scanners, the unknown object is identified as a personal House El ship.]
I press a few more buttons on my gauntlet and turn off the hologram. I lower my hand, look at the red-haired goddess who is lying on my lap and start stroking her head. For some reason, this gesture seemed quite natural to me. I soon noticed a small smile on Hestia's face.
I show a little smile to this lazy goddess, it is quite obvious that she is awake, but she decided to just act lazily.
[Knowing that this is an important item that cannot fall on Earth, General Zod personally went to retrieve the ship.]
"That is a good choice." I praise Zod's quick decision; my teacher knows me, he knows how I am attached to the El family. "When General Zod retrieves the ship, I want him to take the item to the second mothership that has no subordinates on board."
[Yes, My Lord.]
I stop stroking the red hair of the goddess, I need to check that unknown ship, I get up from the floor.
"Hmmm." Hestia looks annoyed, she looks like a child who lost her favorite pillow.
"Hestia, are you my ally or my enemy?" I ask in a serious tone, I know she knows me, and I also know that she knows what happened to Mount Olympus. Despite knowing all this information, she did nothing. She just stayed sleeping in her temple as if these problems had nothing to do with her.
For the first time since I arrived at Hestia's temple, the lazy goddess opens her eyes and looks at me.
I look into the golden eyes of the goddess Hestia and wait for her answer:
"I am nobody's ally ... I am tired of the schemes and struggles of Mount Olympus, I just want to be lazy in my temple, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone ... I just want to be at peace." She spoke in a lazy voice.
I can tell by her eyes that this is her determination, she just has to be a goddess who sleeps and does nothing.
I look at the blade of Olympus, I take the blade of Olympus and place it on my back. "I see ... I accept your wish for now ..."
I notice Hestia's face twitching a little, I show a small smile and say: "Hestia, in this universe only powerful beings can afford to be lazy and I am quite sure that you are not one of those beings."
"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.
I point to the horizon and say, "Right now, we have a whole pantheon of gods waiting for me to make a failure to start a war, they just don't do it because they don't want to take any chances. They know they can win a possible war against Olympus, but they also know that the loss on their side will be irreversible. "
"If a war happens, and I die, will you just sit here while all these gods invade your home and kill you?"
Hestia's face tightened and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
I open a small smile, what is the best way to make a lazy person act? It's simple, you just have to say that the 'peace' they want so much is being threatened.
I turn and start walking towards the exit of the temple: "Hestia, eventually, you will have to make a choice ... Whether you like it or not, you were born as a goddess, you were born as a being of power, and if you have power, you have a responsibility to fulfill ... Of course you can ignore everything I said and just be a lazy goddess, but eventually someone will enter this temple and that someone will have no friendly intentions. I wonder what you will do when that happens. "
Hestia looks at Rao's back with a thoughtful face, she lays her head on the temple floor again and thinks about the words she just heard from Rao.
"This is problematic." She grunted. "If I have power, do I have a responsibility? I just want to be lazy and do nothing ... "She starts to imagine a foreign god entering her temple with hostile intentions, she imagined this god destroying her temple and threatening her existence, she didn't like it at all.
For a moment Hestia's eyes flash dangerously, the fire that was close to Hestia started to get more violent, but soon that glow dies and she says with a lazy face: "This is problematic."
...
When I arrive outside the temple of Hestia, I lift my head and look at the sky, I focus my vision beyond the sky of Mount Olympus and soon I see General Zod recovering the ship.
"Nyx, Hades."
Two shadows appear behind me revealing themselves to be Nyx and Hades who now had a crown of bones on their heads. "How does it feel to be the king of the underworld again, Hades?"
"It's a strange feeling, it's like you move into a new house, but suddenly you have to go back to your old house that is full of bad memories." Hades spoke honestly.
I nod my head. "Nyx, what do you think of Hestia? I want your honest opinion. "
"She is a goddess who was born from Rhea and Cronos, although Hestia's divinity is related to domestic life, she is one of the strongest goddesses of Olympus today, as she has not used her divinity for thousands of years, she has a lot of power at her disposal." Nyx spoke in a cold, neutral tone.
I agree with Nyx's thoughts, she has a lot of potential, I just have to play the right cards so that she will become an active goddess again ... I think ... To be honest, it is difficult to predict the thought of a lazy person. I think she will only move when her life is threatened?
"And she is a very sneaky goddess, she took advantage of this opportunity to receive the affection of our king." I raised my eyebrow at what Nyx said and looked in her direction, but what I saw was just black smoke.
She ran away again ...
I look at Hades and he just shrugs as if it has nothing to do with him.
Leaving aside the antics of the night entity. "Hades, I have something that requires my attention, I want you to keep an eye on our guests, contact me in case something happens."
"Yes, My Lord."
I contracted my knee a little and with an impulse I flew towards the sky.
I hear three sonic explosions when I increase my speed.
