Chapter 140: A World Where Only Poseidon Was Injured (12,000 words per day)

At this moment, on the front battlefield.

The Grand Clerk of Crete, who had been severely injured by Nereus and fell into the deep sea, rushed out of the sea as if he had sensed something, looked at the old man in the sea with bloodshot eyes, and roared in grief and anger.

"What have you done? A bunch of executioners!"

"I'm not, I didn't, it has nothing to do with me..."

Nereus, who was confused, defended himself hastily, and kept trying to defend himself.

Obviously, when His Majesty the Sea King forced him to contact a group of ocean gods to fight together, he promised to treat the surrendered Minoans well.

Why did it turn out like this?

However, after hearing the explanation, Loen's expression became even more sad and angry. He swung the bronze sword in his hand fiercely at the old sea god, cutting off several strands of his beard.

"I have already sensed the divinity of the ocean, and you still want to deny it?"

Nereus opened his mouth, wanting to clarify again.

However, thinking of the last agreement in Sicily, he was suddenly speechless and could only dodge in shame, secretly hating the son-in-law who had put him on the fire.

Wasn’t it enough that I cheated him once, but you cheated him a second time?

His most precious reputation was almost treated by that bastard as toilet paper to be thrown away after wiping.

He relies entirely on this face to make a living on the Sea of Oceanus.

After this, how can he face people when he goes out?

Suddenly, Nereus felt deeply regretful for not listening to the advice of his daughter Thetis and sealing off the house immediately, and he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the sea king far away in the inland sea.

Poseidon, you are shameless!

At this moment, the furious Chief Scribe of Crete was obviously in no mood to listen to Nereus's angry voice. He joined Athena who came to check the situation, and they rushed towards the group of sea gods back to back, roaring with gritted teeth.

"Those bastards on the sea, fight them!"

But unlike Nereus who felt guilty but still had some moral integrity, the ocean gods along the way and the Atlanteans who had just won were not so polite. They looked at this moth that overestimated its own capabilities and flew into the fire, raised their weapons with a grin and chanted spells.

At the same time, the light prism towers above the Atlantis fleet were also activated, and the focused light wheels lit up in circles.

Prepare to obey the will of His Majesty the Sea King and completely extinguish the fire of Crete.

Athena gritted her teeth with a pale face, immediately raised the Aegis Shield, and protected Loen, preparing to fight a desperate battle with the enemies who surrounded her and the culprit Poseidon who was not far away.

“Boom!”

However, just as a bloody battle between gods was about to begin, the dim sky suddenly became as bright as day, and several branch-like thunderbolts came down from the sky, separating the two warring parties with unrivaled divine power.

“That’s enough!”

The next moment, angry roars resounded through the sky, and countless thunders wandered in the clouds, turning into huge faces.

"Poseidon, you actually went against the will of the Earth Mother and led the remnants of the Golden Age to massacre the Minoans on the island of Crete, wantonly trampling on life and provoking a war between gods. How despicable!"

"I'm not, I didn't, Zeus, you slander me!"

Upon hearing this, Poseidon on the sea's face changed drastically and he denied it immediately.

"The facts are right in front of you, yet you still want to quibble!"

The huge face in the sky became even more angry, and the surging thunder formed the body of His Majesty the God King. The arm flashing with lightning smashed into the sea with a cold declaration.

"In this case, in the name of the King of Gods, I will judge you and your accomplices!"

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning as sharp as spears tore through the sky and fell to the sea. Thousands of black warships, along with the Atlanteans, were turned into dust in an instant.

"Zeus——!"

Poseidon saw with his own eyes that his hard work and his people were reduced to ashes. He let out a blood-curdling roar and threw the trident in his hand into the sky.

At the same time, the surviving Atlanteans on the sea also obeyed the will of the Lord God, and with vengeance and unwilling indignation, they shot arrows and threw spears at the monster that destroyed their people.

"Stubborn!"

The Thunder Giant in the sky snorted coldly, grabbed the shooting trident nonchalantly, and sneered at the Atlantean's counterattack, but the lightning in his eyes was even more miserable and sinister.

"You are just a remnant of the old times, yet you dare to set foot on the earth and lay your hands on the sky? If so, Atlanteans, I will let you sink into the deep sea forever!"

Along with the cold and solemn verdict, three huge meteorites fell from the sky, dragging long flame tails, and smashed into the depths of the primordial ocean.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

In an instant, three beams of fire shot up into the sky, and three giants with 50 heads and 100 arms rose from the ashes, roaring and throwing stones, smashing the twelve light prism towers standing around the Temple of Poseidon one by one.

In an instant, the light went out and darkness fell. The continent shrouded in fog broke into pieces and sank to the dark seabed.

As the aftermath of the shock spread from the primordial ocean to the inland sea of Oceanus and the inner sea, the remaining Atlanteans seemed to be imprisoned by some terrifying force. They transformed into human bodies with fish tails and were pulled towards the dark sea where the continent of Atlantis sank.

The group of sea gods that were accompanying them couldn't help but tremble in fear when they saw the three towering figures and the ferocious power emanating from them.

The hundred-armed giants are called "Oranides" in "Theogony" (commonly known as "Hecatoncles").

According to records, the Hecatonchus were the children of Gaia, the Earth Mother. There were three of them, named Briareus, Cotos, and Gurges. They were all huge and ferocious monsters, even bigger than the Titans and the Cyclops.

It was so powerful that even Uranus and the twelve Titans were afraid of it.

In the Titan War, Zeus went to Tartarus to release these three powerful hundred-armed giants in order to get help. They were willing to serve Zeus. In the battle, the hundred-armed giants could throw 100 huge stones like mountains at a time, making the Titans unable to resist.

Finally, with the help of the hundred-armed giants, Zeus was able to establish a new order in Olympus.

The three hundred-armed giants also became famous attendants of the God King, defending the throne of Zeus and blocking all external challenges.

And now, the God King of Olympus, in a rage, actually threw these three monsters into the sea, directly destroying Atlantis.

Then they...

The Thunder Giant in the sky glanced at the silent sea gods, then looked at the three hundred-armed giants standing on the sea and gave orders in a deep voice.

"From today on, you will guard the Sea of Oceanus and prohibit any usurpation!"

"As you command, my king!"

Suddenly, the three giants with a hundred arms roared like thunder in unison and sank into the deep sea.

Living here permanently?

Upon hearing this, the gods on the sea couldn't help but groan in their hearts.

After all, anyone who sees these three big guys blocking the door would be unable to sleep or eat.

But after all, they were the ones who made the mistake first. It was a blessing that His Majesty the God King did not deal with them one by one like he did with the Atlanteans. The other ocean gods who were caught with the evidence dared not raise any questions and could only swallow the bitter fruit silently and recognize the fact that the ocean theocracy had been suppressed and restricted since then.

However, not everyone is willing to bow their heads.

"Zeus!!!"

On the sea, Poseidon, who had suffered a series of blows, let his long hair fly and roared at the Thunder Giant in the sky. His voice became a little sharp and piercing because it was too high-pitched.

At this moment, no matter how stupid His Majesty the Sea King was, he understood that the so-called "indulgence" and "acquiescence" were just his wishful thinking.

From the beginning to the end, his good brother had no intention of letting go of this trump card he had worked so hard to save.

Zeus not only wanted to use his hand to teach the Minoans who worshipped the mother goddess a lesson, but also wanted to use the excuse of destroying lives to eliminate the Atlantean army in his hands.

"You don't accept it?"

The Thunder Giant in the sky looked down at the overlord of the sea with an indifferent look.

"In seven days, I will convene a divine council in the Temple of Olympus. Poseidon, if you are dissatisfied with my verdict, you may appeal!"

Then, the giant turned his head and looked at his daughter who was looking sad and pale on the sea. His face softened instantly and his voice became soothing and firm.

"Athena, come too. Don't be afraid. I will definitely bring justice to you and your people!"

“Father God…”

Hearing the solemn guarantee, the goddess of wisdom, who had suffered a great change, was so aggrieved that she could not speak. She could only look up at the kind father in the sky with her bright eyes filled with tears and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, as a bystander, Loen felt a little sour in his stomach when he saw the loving father and filial daughter.

However, before he could feel sick for too long, Zeus simply comforted his daughter with a few words, and then the thunder giant took the number one war criminal Poseidon back to Olympus, leaving time for both sides to deal with the aftermath.

The pressure dissipated, and the sea gods, as if they had been pardoned, turned into light and shadows, fled away from this place of trouble, and fled towards their homes.

Now that the matter has become a big deal, even His Majesty the God-King has come out to arbitrate in person, and there are two living examples of the people of Crete and Atlantis before us.

To be safe, it is better not to get involved in Olympus's family affairs.

The sea gods and their blood relatives who reached a consensus scattered in a moment.

Without Poseidon as their backbone, Prince Triton and Queen of the Sea Amphitrite, who were worried about being retaliated against, also followed the receding waves and the large army to quietly retreat back into the primitive ocean.

~~

When everything fell silent, Athena immediately put away her sad expression, looked past the island of Crete submerged in the raging waves, turned back to look at Lorne behind her, and spoke in a low voice.

"What should we do next?"

"The three hundred-armed giants stayed behind in the Oceanus Sea, watching over the restless ocean gods. Doesn't that mean that our God King is alone? This is too unsafe..."

Luo En spoke with a half-smile, his eyes full of meaning.

Athena's heart moved, and she looked coldly at Olympus hidden among the stars. She subconsciously tightened the gun and shield in her hands, and was ready to take action.

"You mean, we..."

However, Loen smiled and shook his head, his eyes flickering faintly.

"No, no, such a good opportunity must be given to His Majesty the Sea King!"

“…”

Athena twitched her lips, then looked at someone deeply and asked.

"What about us? Stand over there?"

Loen smiled brightly, threw a bronze badge in his hand high up, and then caught it, with an extremely sincere and innocent expression on his face.

"Of course the winning side."

“…”

The goddess of wisdom on the sea stared at the innocent smiling face in front of her for a long time.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the tension on Athena's face softened and she showed a similar smile.

"In seven days, you will go to Olympus with me."

"Uh, I am the servant of Lady Hestia..."

Loen gave a kind reminder, but deep down he obviously didn't want to follow Athena into this mess.

The goddess of wisdom on the sea turned around and spoke with the same innocent and sincere look on her face.

"That's right. So from now on, you will represent your aunt to attend the theocratic conference. I have told her so."

“……!”

In an instant, the smile on Loen's face froze and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, just as he made a move, he was grabbed by the smiling Athena.

"Don't worry, let's finish our business first, and then it won't be too late to go to Olympus."

Then, the goddess of wisdom summoned her golden chariot, threw someone into her chariot without saying a word, then swung the whip, drove the Pegasus, cut through the waves, and drove away.

In the chaos, the bronze badge in Loen's hand fell into the sea and continued to sink.

And all around them lay the Minoan Blood Guards who fought to the death, even King Minos was among them.

This is their battlefield and also their grave.

“Buzz!”

The bronze badge made a slight sound when it touched the bottom, and a faint light flickered.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

At the same time, hundreds of resonances sounded, forming a dense starlight deep in the seabed.

As the shredded clothes were pushed aside by the waves, identical bronze badges were hanging on the chests of the dying people, and covered their eyes under the surge of the sea water.

——In ancient Greek mythology, there is a dark river Styx between the human world and the abyss, and Charon is the boatman on this river. All souls who want to cross the Styx must bribe him with a coin, and he will let them cross the river safely. Otherwise, he will throw the souls of the dead into the Styx, letting them suffer and drift to hell on their own...

——He, Thanatos, the god of death, and Hypnos, the god of sleep, are all descendants of Nyx, the goddess of the night.

——According to the fragments of Bacchylides, Nyx, the entity of the night, also has a daughter named Hecate.

She was the goddess most respected by Zeus, the son of Cronus. Zeus gave Hecate precious gifts, allowing her to share the earth and the sea that does not produce grain; she also gained honor in the starry sky and was highly respected by the immortal gods.

The son of Cronos had never hurt her, nor taken anything from what she had received from the Titans before her, and she still had her portion in earth, sky, and sea, as it had been allotted at the beginning.

She is the godmother of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, and guides the path of the dead in the darkness of the night.

——Therefore, some people say that she is the incarnation of Nyx and the real queen of the underworld!

The climax is over. In order to make you enjoy the reading, I wrote about 12,000 words today. I hope it’s not too much to ask for some monthly votes and recommendations.

Finally, after doing the math, I still owe 12-4=8 chapters.
