Chapter 444 Greece's Server Crash Crisis (7.2k, completed, please vote)

High in the sky, fire and lightning continued to collide. The aftermath of the battle set off a wave of destruction, spreading the breath of doomsday to every corner of the Greek world.

The debris of stars and fragments of Olympus continued to fall from the sky, causing the already broken earth to completely collapse.

After decomposing and swallowing up all the surrounding matter, the surging tide of chaos launched round after round of attacks towards the last obstacle between heaven and earth - a giant tree radiating light, trying to cut down the thick firewood and fill it into the furnace chamber of the throne, contributing all the light and heat to the supreme divine cause.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

The giant trees trembled one after another as they could not bear the heavy weight. Specks of light and dust like the ashes of doomsday peeled off from the shaking branches of the giant trees and were swallowed up by the tide of chaos that swept in from all directions.

The country wrapped in it began to sway gradually, and the glorious palace shook violently.

Under absolute power, it seemed only a matter of time before this last refuge fell.

Will you win?

Billions of lives contained in this kingdom of God could not help but ask questions and looked up at the sky with hope.

However, under the fierce attack of lightning, the fire was like a candle swaying in the wind, also a spent force.

"If we don't help, he's going to lose."

Athena, who was watching the battlefield, gave a definite answer.

us?

The figures present looked at each other with confusion and bitterness on their faces.

Although they were once gods, monsters and heroes and possessed extraordinary powers, they have been stripped of all their glory and reduced to mediocrity under the laws of destiny.

What's more, even the body no longer exists, only a wisp of soul remains here.

Not to mention ascending Olympus again and fighting against the tyrant in the sky together with the shepherd, they were even unable to fight against the black giant soldiers wandering outside the kingdom of God.

“We have nothing left.”

“There’s nothing we can do.”

Frustrated voices rang out among the crowd, and a pessimistic atmosphere spread, as if they had foreseen the cruel future anchored by fate.

"What nonsense."

Athena shook her head, looked at the figures in front of her with a smile, and spoke slowly.

"Don't we still have life?"

~~

Meanwhile, on Mount Olympus.

"Bang!"

The fierce lightning once again knocked down the figure wrapped in fire. Looking at the figure who could never stand up again and the broken halo behind him, Zeus felt extremely happy.

One has to admit that this son is the best among his many bloodlines.

Not only did he achieve the status of the Lord God through acquired efforts, but even the divine authority seemed unable to have a significant impact on him.

But even if he creates miracles in desperate situations time and time again, his struggle will end here.

In the face of absolute strength, any form of resistance is futile!

"Prepare to die, you bastard. This is your destiny!"

Zeus raised the lightning spear in his hand, ready to put an end to this destined enemy with his own hands.

Buzz!

However, a violent tremor came from the lower world, and a blazing white light band shot up into the sky, with countless hymns interweaving in it.

The voices were those of an old man, a child, a young man, and a young girl...

There were gods, monsters, heroes, and humans in that silhouette...

"The King we serve,

May your name be sanctified.

May your grace be revealed,

May your will be done on earth,

As if walking in heaven.

The food we use,

Give it to us today.

Our joyous wine,

Feast us today;

And lead us not into temptation,

Deliver us from evil.

Splendor, joy, and feasting are with you;

God’s wisdom, God’s power, and God’s love are with you;

The kingdom, the power, and the glory belong to you.

——From eternity past, to now, and forever and ever!!!"

The unison of chanting resounded through the sky, and billions of figures in the Kingdom of God ignited themselves in the singing, turning into streams of blazing white flames that poured into the withered and dim giant trees.

Along with the influx of this vigorous vitality, the intricate root system dug deep into the barren surface, and billions of blazing white flames gushed out from the branches of the giant trees, continuously extending and growing upwards, soon covering the entire sky.

“Boom!”

A giant tree that grew to its limit broke through Mount Olympus. The song in the flames became louder and louder, and billions of light dust gathered towards the top of the giant tree.

Under the watering and birth of the light, the sacred kingdoms that hold the beautiful vision of life have become real. There are gurgling waters, fertile soil, white grains everywhere, milk and honey are available at any time, and the aroma of sweet wine is everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, ten crystal clear [fruits] were born on the branches of the giant tree. Looking around, the world inside was pure white, clean and beautiful.

Zeus stood up from the dense smoke and dust, his eyes full of astonishment:

"What?"

"The Kabbalah Tree of Life?"

Loen murmured his answer, shock and trance mixed in his eyes.

The Kabbalah Tree of Life is said to be located in the center of the Garden of Eden. It is the so-called path from mortals to God, or the way God created the world out of nothing. Its mystical thought is to use the "Tree of Life" growing in heaven to symbolize the entire universe, unify the will of the group, and jointly create a perfect world and perfect gods.

In an instant, Loen understood what the lives in his kingdom of God were doing.

——Great sacrifice!

Devote your life to God, entrust your soul to God, and burn out your all for the divine cause that we all await!

As if sensing the divine will, the light-like branches and leaves spread out and began to grow and transform further.

The ten kingdoms of God are transformed into the ten hypostases of [Crown], [Wisdom], [Understanding], [Mercy], [Severity], [Beauty], [Victory], [Glory], [Foundation], and [Kingdom];

The different wills of different life groups have constructed the four major worlds: the divine world, the creative world, the formation world, and the material world;

The good qualities of the gods that we all look forward to are condensed into three pillars: mercy, gentleness, and severity;

Billions of life spirits gathered together, opened up twenty-two paths in the circulation of energy, and finally converged on the shepherd's head, turning into a crown-like light band to crown him together.

Sensing the divine light and prayers madly pouring into his body, Loen stood up from the ruins with his lips tightly pursed, and the broken halo behind him condensed again.

Looking at the figure bathed in light in front of him, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into Zeus' heart.

His face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted towards the lower world:

"Destroy this thing!"

On the sea, the giant gods of destruction transformed from black mud heard the order from heaven, and immediately roared and rushed towards the glorious giant tree that continued to grow and spread between heaven and earth.

"Holy! Holy! Holy!!!"

But passionate chanting came from all directions, hundreds of millions of brilliant individuals with strange shapes, with wings on their backs, guarded the three pillars, seven branches and seven roots, seven days and seven nights, ten elements and twenty-two paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and vowed to defend this kingdom of God to the death.

Damn it!

Zeus was shocked and angry, and he shot the lightning spear in his hand towards the giant shining tree and the figure under the tree, trying to interrupt this secret ceremony that made him tremble with fear.

"Bang!"

However, an Aegis shield fell from the light and blocked Zeus' attack at the cost of being shattered.

"Everyone, it's our turn now. I'll go ahead!"

The goddess of wisdom in front of the temple smiled freely, her body turned into burning flames, and the rich divine light turned into golden divine liquid and poured into the first space of the halo behind Loen.

Are you going to grab all this?

Hera, Hestia, and Artemis were filled with resentment upon seeing this, and they united in condemning Athena.

But then, they all offered up their divinity and power in an attempt to determine the first and last place.

Women's friendship...

The other Olympian gods who were watching smiled bitterly, but they all made the same choice.

Even Poseidon, who had the strongest desire for power, hesitated for only a few seconds, and after looking at his wife and son behind him, he decisively chose to give up power and the throne.

Although he was dissatisfied with his nephew, he was even more dissatisfied with Zeus.

If I have to choose one between the two, I would naturally do whatever it takes to make my good brother Zeus unhappy.

At almost the same time, the last remaining figures in the kingdom of God threw themselves into the flames, dedicating their all to their common gods and calling for common prayers.

My God, arise and scatter the enemies!

“Boom!”

Olympus, which was completely covered by the Kabbalah Tree of Life, trembled and reorganized. The rubble automatically piled up into pure white stairs, totem poles rose from the ground, and billions of bright white light bands. The black mud in the hole in the sky evaporated and were woven into the shape of a crown that fell on the head of the figure under the tree.

The time has come to wear the crown, to correct everything!

As the light flowed, the boundaries of the golden halo behind the new king, which was originally divided into twelve divine sectors, gradually blurred.

The breathing of plants, the rhythm of the earth, the shouts of mankind, the singing of heroes, the roar of gods...all things in the world emerge behind the figure under the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and finally merge into one.

As the last ray of light converged into his body, Luo En slowly opened his eyes and pointed the red sword forward:

"Let's settle the accounts!"

"Just you guys?"

Zeus snorted coldly with a gloomy face and disdain in his eyes.

The lightning spear in his hand shot forward, and the star shuttles in the sky fell one after another.

However, the attack that was powerful enough to disintegrate the stars and engulf the sun and the moon could not shake that light in the slightest.

How is that possible!

Zeus couldn't believe it and subconsciously staggered back a step.

Immediately, realizing his own misconduct, the high and mighty God King was filled with shame and anger, and launched an even more fierce attack:

"A bunch of ant-like things want to kill me? Dream on!"

Ants?

Lorne shook his head, and an interesting fable came to his mind.

If you see antelopes running away on the grassland, it must be a lion coming;

If you see a lion fleeing, it means a herd of angry elephants;

If you see the spectacular sight of groups of lions and elephants fleeing for their lives, what is coming?

——The answer is the army of marching ants.

Loen slowly raised the flaming sword in his hand above his head, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life behind him shook violently.

Billions of light streams start from the [Kingdom] and end at the [Crown].

Together, they ignite the ten essential qualities of wisdom, understanding, compassion, severity, beauty, victory, glory, and foundation on the twenty-two paths, reflecting the majestic figure of the perfect God.

Feeling that he was firmly locked in the surrounding space, Zeus had no way to escape. He grabbed the Thunder Scepter and swept it forward, roaring ferociously:

"I am the destiny!"

“Destiny?” The face reflected by the fire showed a hint of sneer, “From the moment you chose to abuse all life and abandon this world, you are no longer worthy of being a king, let alone the right to call yourself destiny!”

In the ten great kingdoms of the Kabbalah Tree of Life that emerged from the stream of light, gods, demons, heroes, humans and other "weaklings" subject to fate, the ants in Zeus's mouth, all put the weight of their lives on the sword in front of them.

"Zeus, come and listen to the true voice of destiny!"

Thousands of feet of flames burned on Loen's body, and countless stardust-like light spots flowed into his palm. The dark red flaming sword ignited with extreme flames, making the sky pale in comparison and the sun and moon dim.

Use your body as fuel and gather flames into light.

At this moment, the ideals of everyone converge into one grand wish.

This is the name of salvation!

"Path of the Flaming Sword - Ain-Soph Aur!"

Along with solemn chanting, a giant flaming sword that spanned heaven and earth slashed forward with unparalleled sharpness, destroying everything in its path. The lightning giant standing on the top of Mount Olympus was engulfed in the torrent of flames.

“Crack!”

The broken thunder scepter fell from Zeus's hand, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

Looking at the dark red giant sword piercing through his body and the light-like cracks that continued to spread across his body, Zeus was in disbelief.

"I have clearly mastered destiny and surpassed everything. How could I lose?! This is impossible!"

"Don't you understand? All you have is [power], not [destiny]. How can a world that you have abandoned really protect you? The moment you make your choice, all the accidents that are unfavorable to you will become inevitable. Our victory is not accidental, but inevitable!"

As Loen pushed the hilt of the sword forward, he announced the true answer to His Majesty the God-King.

Zeus suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this.

He finally understood why he had made so many mistakes despite being so well prepared in the past two hundred years, and why the other party made the right choice every time even though one wrong move would clearly lead to eternal damnation.

It turned out that the favor of destiny had already left him and went to the other side.

But, so what?

Zeus suddenly raised his head, and a ferocious and arrogant look appeared on his face covered with light-like cracks.

"I will never lose! I will never lose!"

Seeing the madness in those eyes, Loen suddenly felt a sense of alarm and immediately withdrew.

“Hahahaha, die, let’s die together!”

And accompanied by crazy laughter, the lightning giant embodying the divinity of Zeus exploded, and dazzling thunder shot in all directions.

Loen's face changed drastically, and he immediately used his body as a shield to block the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

After a strong impact, the entire Olympus turned into countless floating pieces of debris of various sizes between the stars, and the God King who once claimed to be the destiny also lost the last trace in this world.

it's over……

Loen looked at the flaming sword stuck in the rock in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Crack!”

However, a crisp sound of shattering suddenly came from the sky. Loen looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that there was no longer a single star in the sky. The entire Greek world was covered with light-shaped cracks, like a piece of glass that was about to break.

Luo En's expression changed slightly, and he murmured, "What's going on?"

"He destroyed the [Loom of Destiny]..."

A cold and deep voice came from the front, and three erratic light-like figures appeared in the deep pit of the explosion.

"You are not dead yet?" Luo En snorted coldly and looked at the three goddesses of fate in front of him, then frowned and asked, "What happened exactly? Tell me clearly!"

The three goddesses of fate looked at the cracking world and explained in a deep voice: "In every age of gods, there is at least one artifact of fate related to order, which connects the beginning and the end of the world and maintains the balance and survival of the world. Once it is damaged, the world will collapse without support. In Greece, this thing is the [Loom of Fate]."

When Luo En heard this, his face looked a little ugly.

To put it bluntly, [Loom of Fate] is equivalent to the server of the Greek Age of Gods. The old bastard Zeus saw that he could not become the King of Gods, and wanted to drag everyone to be buried with him before he died, so he directly blew up the server.

This is equivalent to making the Greek Age of Gods lose the possibility of development and have no future.

——No future?

When Luo En thought of this, his heart moved.

It seems that in the original history, Greek mythology only wrote about the time of the Trojan War.

After this, the story of the Greek Age of Gods gradually came to an end, as if everything ended there.

Could it be that the real reason for the demise of the Greek Gods is also related to old Zeus?

I’m afraid it’s almost right!

After deducing the buried historical truth, Lorne immediately asked the three goddesses of fate:

“Is there any way to fix it?”

"It was too completely destroyed, no."

The three goddesses of fate shook their heads helplessly, but then set their eyes on the Kabbalah Tree of Life behind Lorne and spoke slowly.

"However, it should be possible to replace it. This tree also has powers related to destiny. If we bury it in Tartarus, perhaps we can buy Greece some time."

"And what about them?"

Loen pointed at the figures floating in the kingdom of God and asked with a frown.

Although all the lives in the kingdom of gods were sacrificed to Zeus in order to defeat him, they did not die, but just fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption.

Theoretically, as long as there is enough magic power and enough time, they will wake up soon.

The three goddesses of fate answered truthfully: "This world is about to break apart and can no longer support too many [mysteries]. Moreover, their power is also needed to maintain the survival of Greece."

"Is it going to go on like this forever?" Loen asked.

"If you want them to wake up and bring vitality to this world, you need to find a replacement artifact of destiny." The three goddesses of fate answered solemnly, and added in a deep voice, "Moreover, that god age must be at least the same level as Greece, and the artifact of destiny you take must also be fully developed and mature."

"Fully developed?"

"That is to say, that Age of Gods must experience its complete glory and end, and then you will pick the Fruit of Destiny with your own hands."

"You mean..."

Lorne was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I want to destroy an age of gods?"

The three goddesses of fate nodded, pointed at the world wall that was beginning to crack, and reminded in a deep voice:

"Time is running out, you'd better make a choice quickly."

Luo En's eyes swept across the familiar shadows sleeping in the Kingdom of God. His eyes flashed and he spoke slowly:

"I can cooperate, but not with you!"

As soon as the voice fell, the three goddesses of fate were slapped and thrown into the Kabbalah Tree of Life and sank into a certain body.

At the same time, a figure in a black gauze dress turned from virtual to real in the light and shadow cast by the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

Lorne looked at Hecate behind him and asked in a deep voice:

"What about you? You can't do anything?"

"It seems that there is no other way to go..."

Hecate lifted the purple hair by her ears slightly, looked at the world gradually collapsing in the waves of nothingness, and let out a helpless sigh from her cherry lips.

Then, the two people who reached a consensus looked at each other and waved their hands.

Billions of rays of light peeled off from the Kabbalah Tree of Life, extending the life of the Greek gods that were about to be destroyed.

As time goes by, light and shadow interweave, and rays of light quickly mend and repair this tattered world.

On the first day, the sky was filled, the stars were lit, day and night were divided, and the four seasons changed.

On the second day, the waters were divided into upper and lower parts, the oceans retreated, and the continents appeared.

On the third day, surface creatures and humans revived, and the fortress rose.

In just three days, the earth, islands, mountains, rivers, oceans, forests, fortresses, animals, plants, humans... and all the original traces of the Greek world were once again carved on the surface under the imprint of golden light patterns.

On the fourth day, as the first ray of sunlight shone on the reassembled Mount Olympus, Lorne and Hecate looked at the cracks in the world wall that were faintly appearing again, and reluctantly ended the construction.

One by one, the figures that separated from the Kabbalah Tree of Life and were reborn on the earth looked at each other in surprise, and cheers of surprise resounded through the sky.

They won, ended the disaster and restored order.

But it is not a complete victory.

On Mount Olympus, the heroes of divine blood who were reborn in flesh looked at the empty seats around them and couldn't help but cast their gazes towards the two gods on the field.

When Loen informed the heroes of the whole story, Hercules in the crowd was silent for a moment and smiled:

"My Lord, I request to return to the Kabbalah Tree of Life, or enter the [Pure Land of Bliss] to create dreams for the gods. The dreams of heroes should provide more faith than those of mortals!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they all stepped forward at the same time:

"We too!"

Since they are part of this world, they should shoulder their due responsibilities and obligations.

The real heroes of this war have not yet awakened, so there is no reason for them to go to the surface alone to enjoy themselves.

Loen nodded slightly, approved the heroes' request, waved his hand and sent them into the [Pure Land] to serve as human pillars of this fragile world.

However, as a reward, Loen also sent their relatives to the paradise, allowing them to have a happy and long dream together.

As the familiar figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared, Lorne looked at Hector, who looked normal in the square, and nodded with satisfaction.

Don't be impatient, that's good.

Then, he raised his hand slightly, and the mechanical god Venus with twelve pairs of crimson wings emerged from the Kabbalah Tree of Life and asked respectfully:

"My God, you are calling me?"

Luo En nodded slightly, raised his hand and broke off a branch of light from the Kabbalah Tree of Life, turned it into a spear, handed it over, and said in a deep voice:

"The interests of Troy and the Greek states are in conflict. Without the restraint of the gods and heroes, there is a high possibility of conflict again. They are no longer suitable to stay here. Venus, I want you and the Mekhanites to lead the Trojans to hide their identities, open up new territories, provide more faith for the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and accelerate the mysterious revival of this world as much as possible."

Venus took the light branch and nodded respectfully, then asked curiously.

"If we hide our identities, what should we be called from now on?"

"Rome!"

Loen, who was well prepared, answered in a deep voice, looking towards the east of the Greek world with a distant and deep gaze, and declared solemnly.

"From now on, glory belongs to Greece and greatness belongs to Rome!"

"Yes, my God!"

Venus bowed in response, then holding the brand new spear of nation-building, she returned to the human world with Hector, gathered the Trojans on the earth, and began a long migration and development.

At this moment, the empty Olympus returned to silence.

Loen pointed to the restored throne of the God King in the hall and looked at Hecate beside him with a smile:

"Look, this thing belongs to you. Now that I have killed Zeus and sealed the three goddesses of fate into your body, the throne belongs to you!"

"You are just trying to trick me into protecting Greece for you."

Hecate rolled her eyes at her cunning disciple and snorted in annoyance.

Greece is extremely fragile now, and guarding the house is a top-notch job.

"You really can't hide anything from me." Luo En complimented him and asked with a smile, "So, you agree?"

"I'm not interested in being the God King." Hecate showed a teasing smile on her face and suddenly changed the subject, "If you let me be the God Queen, I can consider it."

Seeing the mockery in the eyes of his great-grandmaster, Loen suddenly felt overwhelmed.

He estimated that if he made this promise, given the Master's troublesome personality, it might cause some trouble.

But now that things have come to this, he can only hold his nose and nod in submission.

Anyway, in the secret texts of Dionysus, the goddess of destiny Ananke and the first cause phanes had an unclear relationship. After Hecate imprisoned the three goddesses of fate in her body, she had obviously become the true goddess of destiny Ananke, and to some extent could indeed be called his half-wife.

First tie up those who can do the work, at worst you can pass it on to the mysteries of Dionysus later.

Loen muttered to himself, raised his hand and pulled up the flaming sword on the ground.

Hecate glanced at her disciple and asked in a deep voice:

"So, you're planning on going there?"

Loen nodded, and his golden wings spread out behind him.

Now, he has become a true king of gods. He no longer needs to guard against Zeus's calculations. He can rely on his own strength to cross the Sea of Chaos and head to the destination where the beacon was engraved.

Hecate looked at the figure in front of her and suggested softly:

"Change your name so you don't get too deep."

She is a good student in every way except that her emotions are too delicate and rich.

Luo En nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked at the flaming sword in his hand and spoke slowly:

"Loki, the god of lies, tricks, plots, and betrayal..."

The remaining sound died away, and a figure with golden wings flapped its wings and flew towards the vast chaotic sea, towards the land of ice and fire.
