"Request…let's talk about it later!”
"Let's go back now so that Mother won't be worried about us.”
Apollo said.
But Artemis still wanted to continue hunting.
"Overhunting is not good. If all the animals in the forest are killed, there will be no prey for you to hunt in the future.”
" And overhunting will also cause ecological problems. For example, without wolves, hares will…"
Apollo began to talk to Artemis about ecological issues.
Artemis was stunned.
However, she quickly understood.
Without the wolves, the hares would soon be able to eat up the entire forest.
If there were no rabbits, some wolves would starve to death.
At this moment, she also understood a truth.
That was, everything was restricting the balance. If this balance was broken, it would only bring disaster.
Although overhunting wouldn't cause any disaster for a god, it was still a matter of time.
At most, mortals would suffer a little.
However, Artemis was kind-hearted by nature and did not want to cause such a serious disaster because of him.
"Alright then, let's go back."
In the end, Artemis was convinced by Apollo.
In fact, with their hunting speed, they could hunt six prey a day.
This forest could still withstand it.
After all, the number of wild beasts killed every day was much more than this.
Apollo was just tricking his sister into going back.
After all, his first thought was that he couldn't let his mother worry all the time. He had to go back first this time.
After staying in the temple for two days, he would continue to come out and play.
After returning to the temple, Apollo put down the prey that he had brought with golden chains.
These prey were huge, and even Apollo felt a little tired when he brought them all together.
The Greek gods were very close to mortals in some aspects.
For example, the most primitive desire and strength.
An ordinary goddess was not even as strong as a human hero.
Unless it was an existence like Hercules, carrying so many prey, it probably wouldn't feel tired.
"Speaking of the God of Strength, there seems to be no news from the Divine Realm.”
"Could it be that he hasn't been born yet?"
"But now that Prometheus has stolen the tinder, Hercules will be born sooner or later.”
"After all, Prometheus was saved by Hercules.”
Apollo pondered as he entered the temple hall.
The timeline of the various stories in Greek mythology was chaotic.
Although he knew many stories about gods, the timeline was difficult to figure out.
"Artemis, Apollo. My children, you're finally back!”
Leto said happily when he saw his two children.
"I told you, Mother, you don't have to worry.”
"Moreover, my sister and I caught some prey and brought it back. We can enjoy it at the banquet.”
Apollo said to his mother.
"I was too worried. I won't stop you next time.”
Leto smiled at the two children and promised.
Apollo glanced at Artemis, and his eyes conveyed a message.
"See, what I'm doing is much better than playing outside all the time and being stopped by my mother next time!”
Artemis also understood the meaning of Apollo's gaze.
He gradually began to worship his younger brother.
His younger brother Apollo was really smart!
"Aunt Leto, these two little guys are my brother and sister?”
At this moment, an extremely beautiful girl walked out.
He looked at Apollo and Artemis curiously.
At the same time, Apollo realized that she actually had a trace of hostility towards him.
Of course, it wasn't that kind of hatred, but that he was unhappy with her.
It was as if he had provoked her.
"Yes, they are Artemis and Apollo.”
Leto nodded and looked at his two children. He continued to introduce them.
"Artemis, Apollo. This is your cousin, Astrya's child, Hecate.”
"Hecate? The Goddess of Dao and Opportunity?"
Apollo was indeed shocked when he heard the other party's identity.
This was a future god!
She was the creator of magic, the teacher of the famous tragic story's protagonist, Midea!
She was a great god who belonged to the sky, the earth, the sea, and the underworld.
Because of this, she did not belong to any party.
Therefore, whether it was Zeus, who was in charge of the sky.
Even Gaia, the God of the Sea, Poseidon, and Hades of the Underworld could not control her.
It was also because of this that her status was so high that she was almost comparable to the five original gods.
Even Zeus had to show her some respect.
However, that was in the future, because Hecate had yet to develop magic.
Otherwise, Apollo wouldn't have heard Aunt Astrya complaining to him about her daughter staying at home all day.
"Hello, Cousin Hecate. I'm Apollo.”
After knowing his identity, Apollo immediately adjusted his attitude and greeted him warmly.
At the side, Artemis also greeted him out of politeness.
Hecate looked at Apollo, then suddenly showed a disinterested expression.
This was completely like a child.
He really did not know what his mother was thinking. She actually wanted him to interact more with a child.
Could it be that he wanted her to take care of the child?
No, children…Could it be that her mother was hinting that she should get married and have children?
Although there were many outstanding gods, Hecate felt that none of them were worthy of her!
Whether it was the high and mighty God King Zeus or those outstanding gods who had risen up later, they were not worthy!
Moreover, she had no intention of dating or getting married.
Hecate thought of many things in an instant.
However, they were all overthinking.
Her mother, Astrya, only wanted her not to stay in the house all day.
"My mother asked me to stay with you.”
"Although I don't know why she did this, I still have to listen to her orders.”
"So I'll tell you a story. After that, I'll go back and continue my research.”
Hecate said to Apollo.
At this moment, Apollo finally understood why Hecate was so hostile towards him.
It was all because Astrya used her as an excuse to forcefully bring Hecate out, which made her a little dissatisfied.
Apollo could understand.
Some people only liked to stay there alone and do research. However, a " naughty child " suddenly appeared and disrupted her research. Of course, she couldn't be happy.
"In that case, Cousin Hecate, tell me about magic.”
Apollo said without hesitation.
He was also very interested in magic.
After all, ever since the birth of magic, humans no longer relied on mutation to become stronger.
Instead, he studied magic step by step to strengthen himself.
"You want to know about magic?"
Hecate said in surprise.
She thought Apollo would like to hear stories of heroes fighting against the gods.
He didn't expect her to be more interested in his research!
Although she didn't think Apollo would understand, Hecate still enthusiastically explained her research on magic to Apollo.
