Chapter 742 Conspiracy
To the west of the territory controlled by the Mountain of Gods, there is a place called the Abyss.
According to legend, in the distant past, there was a god who hated immortality and shattered his body into this endless abyss.
Because of the surge of divine power here, few people come here, and gradually, this place has become a gathering place for some demigods.
Demigods are mostly sons of gods, and a small number are gods who have been deprived of their thrones. They are also immortal, but are far from extraordinary.
If human beings are talented enough, well-trained, and finally have the chance to obtain a divine weapon, then they may not be at a disadvantage in a battle with these demigods.
There is another reason why the demigods are here in secret.
The divine power surging in the Abyss can resist the prying eyes of the gods. It is said that even Zeus cannot break this rule.
There is another rule here, but it is not set by the divine power, but by the demigods who occupy this place.
They do not welcome real gods, but there is an exception, and this god is Hercules.
Hercules was born as a demigod, but became a god by chance. However, he always regards himself as a demigod and has great prestige among the demigods.
He rarely comes to the Abyss, because when he complains, he is not afraid of being heard by the gods, nor is he afraid of being hostile to the gods. He has such strength.
Among his twelve achievements that are praised by the world, he once went deep into the underworld and captured the three-headed dog alive.
The three-headed dog is Hades's beloved dog. He once fought Hades for this. Although everyone knows that Hades did not make things difficult for him, his reputation was once again raised by his survival in the fight with Hades.
This is also the most talked-about of his twelve achievements that are praised by the world.
Today, he came to the Abyss in the chariot built by Hephaestus. Many demigods greeted him and were curious about why he came here.
But Hercules did not say much. He just walked along the cliffs of the abyss to an inconspicuous cave.
The cave was deep in the wall. It took a long time to see the light again. Many people had gathered here and sat around a campfire.
"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss whether or not we should take action."
A female voice rang out. If Zhuo Bai were here, he would definitely recognize that it was Athena's voice.
"Wait a minute, you have to tell me what's going on."
Hercules, who had just arrived, stretched out his hand to stop others from speaking, and spoke first.
"Hercules, you know we can't say the specifics of that incident, but it's that incident, you can think of it."
A tall and thin god sitting near the cave entrance said, and it seemed that he was very familiar with Hercules.
"Prometheus, I believe in your wisdom, but you shouldn't trust that man's children too much, because they look a lot like that man."
Hercules shook his head and said.
"You are also that man's child."
Prometheus stood up and pulled him to the campfire and said.
"I'm reborn, so I'm not his child."
Hercules waved his hand in dissatisfaction, looking at Athena with a veil, and said, "I need stronger proof, not just words."
Athena frowned and looked into the depths of the cave.
In the darkness, two red lights suddenly shone, and a heavy, gloomy aura flashed by.
"Is it okay?"
Athena looked at Hercules and asked.
"Is it Hades... the one?"
Hercules asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
The red light disappeared, and Hades' heavy voice rang out.
"Then, I'll join."
Hercules said as he sat next to Prometheus.
"The one inside has been to the Eastern Alliance. He brought back a lot of news for us, in addition to what I told you before, about the content of the Tree of Life, and about the development of the Alliance."
Athena pondered for a moment and continued, "That is a beautiful world, a world we have imagined, a world mentioned by Prometheus, so I think it is not unacceptable to integrate into the Alliance."
The panting of the people around the campfire suddenly became louder. The four words "integrate into the Alliance" were very heavy for them.
"We have a better choice."
A voice sounded in the darkness, not Hades's.
"It doesn't make sense. The Mountain of the Gods is definitely corrupted. Believe in my judgment. We just need to determine our rights before merging into the Alliance."
Prometheus looked into the darkness and said.
"Pah."
Two crisp sounds came from the direction of Hades: "The problem of the alliance, let's discuss that matter later, let's talk about that matter first."
Everyone fell silent again. Compared to that matter, it was easier to discuss integrating into the alliance .
"There is a beautiful woman in Maple Highlands who has been noticed by that person. We can ambush there. As long as we don't give him the opportunity to enter the Mountain of Gods, we may succeed."
Athena took the lead in speaking out the plan.
"Let me get close, I can control his body and he can't leave."
Hercules said, showing his biceps.
"This is difficult, that person will avoid you."
Prometheus shook his head and looked into the darkness: "Your cloak, can it help Hercules hide his body and get close to that person?"
"The possibility of being discovered is very high. He is not unfamiliar with my cloak."
Hades said.
"Then think of other ways."
Seeing the low morale, Athena spoke up to encourage them.
Everyone discussed again, and various methods were proposed one by one, but none of them were concrete and feasible.
The meeting continued until they came up with the necessary countermeasures.
…………
Maple Highlands is famous for its Gaoling sheep. The meat of Gaoling sheep is fresh and not smelly, and is favored by many nobles.
However, few locals can afford to eat Gaoling sheep, because this territory is privately owned, and the lord is not good to slaves.
However, because of the appearance of a beauty, this place has received widespread attention, and it is said that the lives of slaves in the territory have also been improved.
There is also a legend that the King of the Gods took a fancy to this beauty, Tess, so many nobles would come here to see the beauty from a distance in order to get close to the King of the Gods.
The beautiful Tess also quit her heavy work and was only responsible for the relatively light work of collecting goat milk every day.
The legend has been going on for three years, but the King of the Gods has not shown up. Many people have lost their patience, including the Lord of Maple Highlands.
But he dared not take any action because he was afraid that the legend was true.
On this day, the beautiful Tess got up early to collect goat milk as usual, but just as she walked into the sheepfold, a handsome man appeared here.
This man is definitely not Zeus, at least not from his appearance.
The portrait of Zeus is widely spread on the earth and everyone recognizes it.
Tess just thought that this was a boring nobleman and ignored it, but the handsome man walked up to her and hugged her.
She shrank up nervously, wanting to scold the handsome man, but suddenly remembered the legend that Zeus would transform every time to seek pleasure, so she gave up.
"Are you...are you the King of Gods?"
Tess asked timidly.
"I don't like you calling me that. Just call me Lord. I like that title."
The handsome man smiled evilly and slowly lowered his head.
