Chapter 252 Your Daughter is in My Hands
So, this is the card Hecate holds?
Looking at the dream world before him where the ancient gods did not exist, Loen seemed to be thinking about something.
The [World] is like a big tree growing out of [Chaos]. Too many branches will consume precious nutrients and limit the further prosperity of the [World].
Therefore, you need to use a pair of scissors to strengthen the trunk and weak branches, prune off extra branches, and ensure that all nutrients are supplied to the trunk so that the tree can thrive.
The trunk is the future determined by the three goddesses of fate and executed by Zeus;
The scissors are the "real dream" created by Hecate in the "Elysian Garden";
Fate is the child of necessity, and night is the mother of dreams.
As the successor of Nyx, Hecate has always cooperated with the three goddesses of fate, planning the [path] for the world's progress in the [dark night] and erasing [possibilities] that should not exist.
For example, among the five original gods, the original god of love Eros, the god of darkness Erebus, the god of the abyss Tartarus, and among the Titan gods Uranus, the father of the sky, and the old sea god Pontus... They may have existed in this world. But as their bodies were torn apart and their existence was denied, these "branches" that would consume the nutrients of the world have been gradually pruned and deprived of the possibility of the future, so they fell into eternal sleep and became part of the "new world".
In this future, only new gods and worlds recognized by the three goddesses of fate and Hecate will be allowed to exist.
Elysee Garden is the cemetery where the old gods are buried and the cornerstone for achieving this grand goal.
Loen stroked his chin and looked with interest at the dream world in front of him where countless ancient gods were buried.
Existence is born from nothingness, light comes from darkness, and gods come from chaos.
Tartarus, the lowest level of the underworld, is undoubtedly the area closest to "nothingness" and "darkness". By building the Garden of Elysium here and using the group's true dreams, it is possible to gradually eliminate the immortality of those ancient gods, erase their existence, and build the paradise planned by the three goddesses of fate and Hecate on their corpses.
——Use your body to lay the foundation for our paradise!
It turns out that this is the true meaning of why Elysee is called "Paradise" and "Heaven".
It’s kind of ironic…
Lorne shook his head, his eyes flickering, and fell into new thoughts.
If everything goes well, in the process of eliminating other competitors step by step, the divinity and power of the three goddesses of fate and Hecate will gradually increase, and eventually grow to an unshakable point.
The [God of Chance] and [God of Necessity] of the future?
It turns out that the two ultimate versions of the gods in the Orphic legends were reserved for themselves.
But be careful, while the mantis stalks the cicada, there is an oriole behind.
Loen thought about the dozens or even hundreds of versions of myths he had read in the future and sneered and shook his head.
This plan seems perfect, but there are too many people with evil intentions.
It is true that the three goddesses of fate are the leaders of the entire plan, but neither Zeus nor Hecate would be willing to just become a knife of fate, to be used and discarded at will.
So, they each have their own little tricks.
Zeus hopes to be forever beyond the control of fate, while Hecate hopes that chance can surpass necessity, which gives outsiders an opportunity to disrupt the situation.
For example, Lorne himself...
You all want to win? Aren't you too greedy?
A chess piece that has gradually figured out the truth is playing with the nine-sided twelve-sided dice in his hand, thinking about his next move.
The reason why the three goddesses of fate did not attack Hecate was discovered.
On the one hand, the integration of divinity and the world requires the knife of Hecate, and the cooperation between the two sides has not yet reached the point of breaking off relations.
On the other hand, who knows how many old gods are buried in this [Real Dream]. Maybe not only the discovered Typhon, Kronos and the trio, but even legendary old monsters like Chaos and Gaia are being plotted against.
Once they are all woken up, I'm afraid the entire Greek world will be turned upside down in an instant, and then there will be no fun for everyone.
Wait, everything turned upside down?
Why can't we hold this nuclear-level card in our own hands?
When Loen thought of this, his eyes lit up. He looked around the dream world in front of him eagerly and gradually began to make some attempts.
However, after running around for a while, he finally sat on the street depressed and helpless.
There is nothing I can do. This dream is just like reality. Drinking water can quench thirst, eating an apple can fill the stomach, the breeze brings the fragrance of flowers, and the raindrops fall on the ground, making it wet...
He spent seven or eight hours but couldn't find any flaws.
Moreover, even if he found the flaws in the dream, he couldn't really wake up all the old monsters inside.
After all, I haven't lived enough.
The most ideal outcome at the moment is to be able to find and master the core of the operation of this dream world, and from then on have a nuclear-level trump card to protect yourself.
But Hecate was hiding too deeply and didn't give him the chance at all.
Or, how about robbing Hypnos?
The three thousand dream-talking gods and the god of sleep must be a crucial part of the [real dream]!
Luo En's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help feeling evil in his heart.
According to legend, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, wanted to kill Hercules who was returning from Troy by sea. In order to prevent Zeus from finding out, she asked Hypnos to make Zeus fall asleep. When Zeus woke up and learned that Hercules had been taken to the island of Kos, he was furious and hung Hera on Mount Olympus with shackles and threw Hypnos off Olympus. He was still not satisfied and threatened to send Hypnos to Tartarus. Hypnos had to hide in the robe of the goddess Nyx so that Zeus could not find him. Zeus gave up because of his respect for Nyx.
Now that Nyx has split, the only one who can protect Hypnos is Hecate, the successor.
Since she was willing to go to great lengths to protect Hypnos, it proved that this god of sleep was of considerable value.
If we could kidnap Hypnos, lock him up in a small dark room and interrogate him, we might be able to get a lot of useful information out of him.
However, after thinking carefully for a moment, Loen shook his head again and had to give up this tempting idea.
No one, can't beat...
His level is good enough to bully gods below the main god. As one of the twin gods of the underworld, Hypnos can basically match the main god of Olympus. He is a tough guy who is not easy to mess with.
The experience of the two encounters told Loen that if he insisted on being stubborn, he would most likely fail.
Moreover, this god of sleep is not alone. Even if he succeeds by chance, it will inevitably attract the attention of the gods of the underworld and Olympus.
By then, even if I had eight heads, I would not be able to withstand the pursuit of a group of gods.
Alas, conspiracies have their limits. No matter how clever the plan is, it will eventually fail, especially when faced with something that is laid out in the open.
Loen sighed, and became more and more eager to advance to the main god earlier so that he could have more ability to protect himself.
But right now, Hecate has been drooling over him, and once he is promoted to the main god and enters the mature stage, the master will most likely take action against him.
A stubborn person will get blocked in both ends.
It's really impossible to advance or retreat.
Just when Loen was having a headache, a deep voice came from behind him.
"What are you thinking about? Outsider?"
“Ah, I…”
Loen wanted to say a few perfunctory words, but then he caught the word "outsider" in the words. His face suddenly changed and he turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
On the bluestone-paved street, there was a middle-aged man in a black cloak, with a pale and gloomy face and thick black hair and beard. He stood quietly in the shadow of the street corner. His pair of dark eyes were like a lightless abyss, and there was a hint of lifeless decadence in the deep and quiet.
"…Nothing, the scenery outside the city is nice, I'll go out and take a look first."
Loen forced a smile on his face, then turned around and ran away without hesitation!
Want to leave? Humph!
The black-haired middle-aged man snorted coldly, raised his hand slightly, and slashed forward with a black sword formed by the death energy of the underworld.
“Buzz!”
Accompanied by the resonance of the ether, a crescent-shaped black sword light tore through the space of the dream world and slashed straight towards the back of the target.
Sensing the sharp sound of breaking air and unprecedented pressure behind him, Loen immediately turned backwards and chanted the holy words at a high speed.
"I am the strongest man, holding all victories. I have fought hundreds of battles without losing, and I have faced powerful enemies without yielding!"
At the same time, he clenched his hands and summoned the Spear of Nation-Building from the magic array. He mobilized the divine power in his body, brought up a blazing blood light, and struck forward through the air.
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and even though Loen tried his best to respond, he was still instantly blown away by the overwhelming force. His lungs were shaken violently, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
So strong!
Leaning on the Spear of Nation-building, Loen slid a hundred meters away, feeling horrified.
The dark-haired middle-aged man opposite also had a look of surprise on his face.
Not dead?
Then, another sword!
Immediately, a hint of coldness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the eerie and terrifying pressure in his body vented in all directions like a landslide and tsunami. The long sword in his hand condensed by death energy instantly turned into a hundred meters long and slashed forward at lightning speed.
Looking at the huge black sword falling from above his head and the grim-faced middle-aged man opposite him, the blood in Loen's body was almost frozen by the chill.
The situation was critical, and he had no time to think too much. He could only bite the bullet, sing the holy words, and meet the thundering attack from the opposite side.
"I call upon the first born, the double-sexed god, the one who walks in the sky,
He emerged from the egg, his wings shining with golden feathers,
He roars like a bull, the origin of the Elysian gods and mortals,
Unforgettable sowing, endless carnival in the world - Phanes, one of the originals! "
In an instant, emerald green vines grew wildly under Lorne's feet; bunches of purple-red grapes burst open, and the air was filled with intoxicating aroma of wine.
In a trance, the middle-aged man saw the heads of various animals emerging from behind the figure: [goat], [giant whale], [bull], [wild boar], [warrior], [white horse]...
He has two horns on his head, and wears a crown made of grape vines. There are golden flames burning around him, his hands are wrapped with grape vines, his feet are shaped like goat's hind legs, which reminds people of Pan's forked hooves, and his feet are full of roses...
The next moment, the giant whale swung its tail, stirring up huge waves and storms of light; the goat ran as fast as lightning; the bull stamped its hooves, causing the earth to rumble and tremble; the wild boar let out a violent roar, and patterns of destructive light shook...
"My name, arise, and scatter the enemies!"
Many heads roared in a solemn voice, and the Spear of Nation-Building spewed out a thick blood-red flame, burning towards the falling darkness.
"boom!"
As if in the roar of thunder, interlaced black and gold light patterns exploded, forming a gorgeous halo. Amid the earthquake, the soil seemed to be rippling on the water, causing waves. Radial gullies spread everywhere, and wherever they passed, walls collapsed, houses collapsed, and grass and trees were broken.
Thump thump!
The unexpected recoil hit, and the sword of death in the middle-aged man's hand shattered into pieces, and his body couldn't help but take two steps back.
Suddenly, a look of disbelief and surprise appeared on that gloomy face.
You actually pushed me to this point?
“Ahem…”
At the same time, in the almost bottomless pit, an outsider with torn clothes hanging all over his body and bleeding profusely, leaning on the spear in his hand, stood up with difficulty.
The sound of bones rubbing against each other all over his body and the fact that there was almost no intact skin on his body proved that he was seriously injured.
But after taking that blow, he was able to stand up, which made the middle-aged man opposite him feel incredible.
Who is this kid?
Forget it, no matter who he is, since he has seen something he shouldn’t have seen, he will be buried here today!
In order to avoid any further complications, let’s try our best this time.
A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the black-haired middle-aged man, and the dark and surging death energy in his hand turned into a peculiarly shaped double-pronged fork. Ancient Titan characters were engraved on the blades on both sides, revealing a certain solemnity and gloom.
Seeing this, Luo En was frightened and quickly raised his hand.
"etc!"
The double-pronged fork did not stop at all, but leaned forward with its sharp blade, stirring up a fierce ether storm and annihilating everything in its path.
"I have your daughter Melinoe in my hands!"
