Chapter 1: Letos Son, Heras Persecution
Chapter 1: Leto's Son, Hera's Persecution
“Daughter of Coeus, I will never allow your child to be born!”
A solemn and graceful woman coldly gazed at the endless land from the vast sky, her beautiful eyes revealing hideous anger.
At the spot where her gaze was locked, another beautiful woman was running away in pursuit of a group of monsters.
“Hera, venerable queen of the gods. I do not solicit for your forgiveness, but my children are innocent, and they are also the bloodline of the god-king, Zeus, so please spare them!”
The woman’s face was full of despair, and she kept begging toward the sky.
She was Leto, the goddess of nuturing, daughter of the spiritual god, Coeus and the goddess of light, Phoebe.
The graceful woman in the sky was “Hera,” the queen of gods, the daughter of the second god-king, Cronus and the sister and seventh wife of the third god-king, Zeus.
“Hmph, do you think I’ll give you a chance?”
Hera’s face lit up when she looked the Leto’s pitiful appearance as she bagged for compassion.
She was weary of her husband’s dissolute behavior towards other women, but what could she do? He was the god-king, Zeus! So she could only lash out at his mistresses.
In recent years, Leto was known as the noblest of her husband’s mistresses. If Hera threw her a heavy blow, other whores would realize how powerful she was, and the act of seducing her husband would be halted.
With this in mind, Hera wielded the power of the queen of gods and cursed, “In the name of the queen of the gods, all the lands belonging to Olympus in this vast world shall not provide Leto a place to give birth.”
As soon as the voice fell, Leto, who was running, suddenly some incomparable force dislodged her existence from the vast land.
She could only fight her way to the ocean outside. However, her abdomen began to cramp at this moment.
As the goddess of nourishment, Leto, of course, knew that this was the symptom of giving birth.
Although this land was vast, but all belonged to Olympus. Now there was no place for Leto to stay.
Leto looked at Mount Olympus, the highest point in the world, and her heart was filled with grief and despair.
“Why haven’t you come out yet, Zeus? They are your children…”
However, Olympus was as calm as usual, and there wasn’t any clue to show the happening of hope.
Hera laughed wildly, looking at her expression, “Don’t you still understand? To him, you and all other sluts are temporary playthings. I am his only goddess. How could he turn against me for you?”
“No, I don’t believe……”
Leto was sad, and she clutched her abdomen.
She could sense the presence of two powerful beings within her that were closely connected to her. It was her children.
No matter how relentless their father was, she decided to give birth to them and bring them into this world.
With that in mind, she summoned her strength and madly dashed to the edge of the land.
Hera said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to still have strength, but I won’t let you escape.”
She once again wielded her divine power.
At this moment, in the distant ocean, a meteor-like light suddenly came out from the sea, blocking Leto’s front.
“Asteria!” Hera screamed with her face filled with rage.
The meteor turned into a goddess with a bright dress in the air and came to Leto: “Sister, hurry up, the island of Delos at sea can be a safe place for your childbirth.”
Leto nodded gratefully to her and dashed off to the ocean.
Seeing this scene, Hera stomped her foot in anger.
Although her husband was the king of the gods, the ocean was the domain of the Sea Emperor, Poseidon. As the queen of gods, her power was only valid in the sky and land.
“Honorable queen of gods, you can’t stop anything. Let’s watch my two nephews be born with peace of mind.” Asteria, the goddess of meteors, looked at Hera with a smile.
Asteria was also the daughter of the spiritual god, Coeus and the goddess of light, Phoebe, and the sister of Leto.
Hera stared at her angrily and then looked at Leto, who had reached the island of Delos.
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling that the two life auras in Leto’s belly seemed too powerful.
It was pretty close to the aura emanating from that goddess of wisdom when she was still in her husband’s head in the old days.
Could it be two powerful Main Gods again?
“No, this is impossible. How could Leto have such good fortune and give birth to two children who are not inferior to Athena!”
Hera shook her head vigorously.
In Mount Olympus, in the vast temple of the gods.
The figure of a king who had raised the lightning spear since the beginning, but had been hesitant, finally relaxed after seeing Leto enter the island of Delos.
“Fortunately, there is no need to confront Hera head-on. Now the temple needs to be stabilized. The fight between King Zeus and Queen Hera is unfavorable to Olympus.”
Suddenly, Zeus’s eyes lit up, and he said happily:
“The divine power fluctuations of the two children in Leto’s belly are not at all inferior to Athena’s. I will have two more powerful heirs, and my divine temple will be even more consolidated!”
Zeus had just finished speaking.
Leto, who came to the island of Delos, looked contorted in pain and gave birth.
At this moment, the entire island was trembling, and the sky was concealed by a bright light.
The western light was the first to appear. It was a cold, clear silver light, similar to the bright silver moon, but it was holier than the silver moon.
In the east, the dazzling morning light rose slowly. The golden light was like flowing gold, obscuring the sun’s brilliance, bringing infinite light to all beings on the land.
All over the world, the gods of Olympus and the gods of Titan were startled by this dazzling vision.
All the gods knew that the third generation of the god-king gave birth to two more powerful descendants.
It won’t take long before Olympus raises two more majestic thrones for the Main Gods.
Hearing a crisp cry, a silver-haired baby girl, full of cold moonlight, flew out of Leto’s body.
Leto’s face lit up with a pleased smile as she looked at her clear and attractive face.
“My daughter, you are born with the light of the silver moon. I give you the name Artemis. May you be like the silver moon in the night, hanging high in the sky forever, and the holy rays shining on the stars.”
After a moment, Leto’s face showed pain again, and a more radiant and dazzling golden baby flew out of her body.
The light of the entire world brightened for a few minutes at this moment.
Among the many moving gods, a handsome baby boy with blond hair and golden eyes, bathed in the dazzling morning light, slowly gazed at the world.
Leto smiled, struggled to sit up, and said to the blond baby boy: “My son, you are born with the golden light of the sun, and I give you the name of Apollo. May you be like the immortal blazing sun, bringing morning light and light at dawn and the fire that dispels the darkness.”
