Chapter 284: Explode the gold coins, Master Lao Deng! (4.1k)
“Buzz!”
The air trembled, and groups of purple light-like butterflies flapped their wings frantically, fleeing out of Loen's body.
Want to run?!
Loen suddenly opened his eyes, sneered, stretched out his hand to grab, and behind him, a golden halo engraved with twelve incarnations of divinity rotated, forming a golden vortex visible to the naked eye.
Like a whale sucking water, like a bull drinking water from the river.
For a moment, the irresistible devouring force dragged a large number of purple dark butterflies into the golden vortex, tearing them into pieces and breaking them into specks of light dust, which were then eaten up.
"Hiccup~"
The strong feeling of fullness from the soul level made Loen burp involuntarily, and his spirit became lazy as well, and he unconsciously relaxed his efforts to capture the purple Hades butterfly.
Suddenly, dozens of scattered dark butterflies took the opportunity to break free and swarmed into Hecate's body tied to the stone pillar.
After a moment, the listless Queen of Hell woke up from a trance, raised her head and looked at her unworthy disciple who was walking towards her with a smile, her eyes full of resentment and depression.
“The status of a Lord God? You had the status of a Lord God before you became a god? This doesn’t make sense!”
"You are the God who controls [opportunities] and [possibilities], but you don't even believe in [miracles]. How ironic."
Lorne sneered and shook his head, while putting his hand on his chest, feeling the ever-burning fire in his body, and muttering silently.
—Thanks, Hestia.
That's right, the one who tricked Hecate at the critical moment was the goddess of the hearth who took the initiative to give her the godhood of the main god in the Olympus prison.
Paying too much attention to conspiracies will only continue to undermine the foundation of trust and leave you wandering alone in the dark.
And [love] is often the soil that breeds [miracles].
"I didn't expect that there would be such an outlier among the twelve Olympian gods. Well, I lose." Hecate lowered her head resignedly.
Then, she looked at the good disciple who was more sinister, despicable, treacherous and evil than herself with resentment, and asked weakly: "So, what are you going to do with me? Kill me? Eat me? Or..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and a hand slapped Hecate's shoulder heavily, causing the mountain bound by chains to shake.
Luo En said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are my beloved friend and life mentor!"
“…”
Hecate looked at the righteous and unworthy disciple with a look of suspicion, and then smiled.
"You want to let me go? Then let's make peace!"
"Look, you're talking nonsense again."
Loen smiled slightly, and the rune chains tied to Hecate twisted and tightened like snakes, highlighting the graceful curves of the Queen of Hell even more.
“Ugh! Stop, stop, stop!” Hecate cried out in pain and begged for mercy. Then she looked at the unworthy disciple who had betrayed his master and ancestors with resentment, and muttered angrily, “I knew you weren’t that kind. You’re really not cute at all when you grow up…”
Loen automatically filtered out the emotional card hidden in it, leaned his head closer, and chuckled playfully in Hecate's ear.
"I can't help it. If I were a really obedient child, I would have been eaten up by you right now. Instead of having the chance to surpass you and suppress you."
The sweetness of ripe fruits mixed with the subtle fragrance of blooming buds rushed into his nostrils. Loen took a deep breath unconsciously. His lips and tongue became dry, his throat moved, and a certain desire was ignited in his heart.
Well, he was a little hungry too.
In his eyes, Hecate in her weak state was like a sweet fruit that made him want to take a few bites of it immediately.
There was no way, the same divinity was too tempting to each other.
“Bang!”
Finally, a crisp sound echoed in the dark cave. Loen clenched his five fingers, feeling the remaining warmth and elastic touch in his palms. He stepped back a few steps with satisfaction, and regained his sanity which had been somewhat out of control.
Although I can’t afford it for now, I can collect some interest first.
Feeling the burning pain on her buttocks, Hecate glared at the unworthy disciple who betrayed his teacher and ancestors, and snorted coldly.
"I did lose this time because of my own carelessness. I accept the defeat and there is nothing to say. But don't be too happy too soon. Even if you beat me, it won't be easy to pass the two levels of Zeus and the three goddesses of fate."
"Don't we still have you?" Lorne said with a smile.
"The divinity I had accumulated with great difficulty was first consumed by the old gods, and then part of it was swallowed up by you. Now I am just an empty shell, and I have lost the qualification to sit at the table."
Hecate thought about her successive failures, looked at the good student in front of her who was more insidious and cunning than her, and laughed at herself somewhat listlessly.
"Now, I am your prisoner again. I can barely protect myself. How can I help you?"
"So, do you want to take back the authority that Nyx once had?"
A slow and steady voice came faintly, as if a bewitching demon was whispering in the darkness.
"Even though I can't be the goddess of chance who controls [opportunity], I still have the position of the god of necessity who controls [fate]. Controlling the three phases of destiny, retribution, and cause and effect, and defining fate and order, that is the original power of Nyx..."
In an instant, Hecate's breathing became rapid, and her eyes, which were originally filled with death and frustration, burst into a blazing light as she stared at the disciple in front of her.
"You mean..."
"Join me to overthrow the three goddesses of fate, and their authority will be yours, right?"
Lorne smiled and spoke, his voice full of temptation.
In the Dionysian Sacred Words, whether it is Nyx of the Trinity or Hecate of the Trinity, their positioning has never been the god of chance, because this position was prepared for themselves.
——Phaenes, the original one, is the first cause of the birth of the universe. Neoplatonism calls him One, and sometimes he is also called "the One" to emphasize his importance. This is the myth he has been weaving and singing in various city-states in Greece through the identity of the bard Homer.
A hundred years of meticulous planning, his persistence in visiting almost every city-state and human gathering place, and the constantly accumulated variables finally allowed him to complete his transformation on the day of his ascension to the gods. He created a godhood that was more in line with the God of Chance than Hecate, successfully turning the tables and taking away most of her accidental divinity.
Therefore, it was not unfair that his master was defeated. He was destined to be the one to lose gold coins to him.
But just as Hecate said, Zeus, the king of gods who was given the destiny, and the three goddesses of fate who governed the inevitable laws of all things, had to be avoided by her when she met them in her heyday. Even if Loen successfully took advantage of his master and had the qualifications to become the [God of Chance], he might not be able to shake the two ultimate bosses of the Greek era.
Therefore, after driving the tiger to devour the wolf, you have to drive the wolf away and chase the tiger away.
Luo En looked at his former life mentor with deep eyes full of sincerity, and extended an olive branch in an extremely sincere tone.
"Then Master, do you want to make another bet with me? After the matter is accomplished, I will only take Zeus's throne as the King of Gods, and the authority of the three goddesses of fate will belong to you."
"You didn't lie to me?" Hecate was deeply skeptical.
"Of course!" Luo En promised solemnly, and then looked at his master with resentment, "We originally had the same goal. We were both thorns in the eyes of those two. If you hadn't insisted on fighting against each other, we would still be a team now."
Hecate couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. After pondering for a moment, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
“Done!”
Hearing that decisive answer, a satisfied smile appeared on Loen's face.
As two groups of successors split from Nyx, Hecate, who has the same origin as the three goddesses of fate, must be very familiar with each other's habits, powers and other information.
The knife forged with her is the sharp weapon that can pierce through the barrier of fate!
As for what would happen after the matter was accomplished, Loen didn't say one thing.
In the sacred words of Dionysus, the status of the "God of Chance" is actually higher than that of the "God of Necessity". And in the real world where the gods hide, chance also contains necessity.
Even if Hecate could successfully annex the divinity of the three goddesses of fate in the future, she could only be the second sequence below him.
Want to turn things around? I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Lorne sneered to himself, then gathered his thoughts and got back on track.
"Tell me, what's so special about the three goddesses of fate?"
"It's tiring to be tied up like this. How about you untie me first?"
Hecate rolled her eyes and raised her hands pitifully.
Lorne smiled and raised his hands high.
“Bang!”
The crisp sound echoed in the dark cave. The swelling on one side of Hecate's buttock had not yet subsided, while the other side was bulging high.
Now it’s symmetrical, good news for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Looking at his own masterpiece, Loen nodded with satisfaction and looked at the dishonest master with a smile.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Hecate lowered her head in disappointment and could only honestly explain some of the inside information she knew.
"Their divine authority is extremely powerful. They are the embodiment of the prior order of the entire Age of Gods world. There is almost no possibility of defeating them head-on."
"Stronger than Zeus?"
"Zeus is only the spokesperson of destiny. He has the blessing of destiny, but he is not strong enough to transcend everything. Otherwise, he would not be so afraid of the Titan's curse and sow seeds desperately."
"indeed."
Lorne nodded in agreement and then asked again.
"Anything else? They always have weaknesses, right?"
"That's right. Their weakness is that they focus too much on "order". Rather than being gods, they are more like a machine that keeps the "world" running. They are rather rigid in the face of many things and are easily misled and deceived."
"What if they have conflicting problems?"
"The stability of the world and the operation of rules will be prioritized."
Listening to Hecate's answer, Lorne raised his hand and stroked his chin, his eyes shining in the darkness, and a hint of understanding flashed across them.
He roughly knew how to use the cards in his hand to deal with the three goddesses of fate.
Who knows, there might be a big harvest!
Lorne glanced at Hecate tied to the stone pillar, and the corners of his lips curled up in pleasure.
——Yeah, it’s bigger than this one.
Jian Dan joked in his heart and Loen continued to ask.
"What about Zeus? If more than half of the gods of Olympus join forces, can they defeat him?"
"Absolutely not!"
Hecate shook her head and answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Luo En frowned and added solemnly.
"What about the unexpected?"
"Absolutely not!"
Hecate's answer remained the same, and then she spoke softly, completely shattering all of Loen's delusions.
"I'll tell you the truth, don't even say half of it. Even if all eleven main gods of Olympus joined forces, plus Hades and his family, to launch a joint sneak attack, there is no way they can defeat Zeus!"
Loen looked incredulous at the result, and his heart was filled with doubts.
"Why? His strength shouldn't be strong enough to suppress all the other gods of Olympus, right?"
"It's not because of strength, but because of destiny!"
Hecate replied calmly, then looked at her still confused disciple and sighed helplessly.
"It seems that you don't understand the terrifying nature of [Destiny]. To put it simply, even if you are fully prepared and have everything in place, and the probability of success is 9,999 out of 10,000, [Destiny] will still allow you to seize that 1 out of 10,000 chance in adversity and turn defeat into victory!
Even if you have a perfect plan, in the process of actual implementation, there will be various loopholes due to various changes, which will lead to failure and the God King will seize the opportunity to turn the tables! "
Lorne listened to Hecate's story and murmured.
"This is totally unreasonable..."
Hecate nodded, looking matter-of-fact.
"That's right. Some people are born as gods, some die before they are born, some are rich and happy, and some are plagued by illness. Fate is so unreasonable. And the God King who is favored by [Destiny] will be invincible at all times and in all places, and will turn misfortune into fortune! To defeat him fairly is to go against the will of the entire world, which is almost impossible.
Therefore, I always avoid direct conflicts with Zeus and the three goddesses of fate. "
Luo En was unwilling to give in and asked with a gloomy face.
"Is there no way at all?"
Hecate thought seriously for a moment, then answered with a frown.
"If you just want to defeat Zeus, there is a way."
"What?"
"Sever his connection with the three goddesses of fate and gradually strip away his destiny. There is no other way."
Just as Loen wanted to ask more questions, the holy land above his head shook violently, the stars fell, and the floating islands maintained by divine power broke apart one after another, and the entire space was in turmoil.
Looking at the world in front of him that was closely related to Athena and began to undergo changes, ominous thoughts suddenly arose in Loen's mind.
Something happened!
Hecate, who was standing by, was also startled, her heart sank, and she spoke in a dry voice.
"Could it be that you have taken action?"
Loen nodded stiffly, and without bothering to explain in detail to Hecate, he gathered stones into a coffin and sank the helpless master into the ground. Then he leaped forward, transformed into a pitch-black eagle, flapped his wings, flew out of the sanctuary, and landed on the square of the Great Temple of the God of War Mountain.
At this moment, the sky is filled with strange phenomena: sometimes it is covered with dark clouds and the water is flowing; sometimes the sun and the moon come out together and the light shines for thousands of miles; sometimes flowers fall and flames erupt... The rays of majestic light interweave with each other, dyeing the world with colorful colors.
But no matter how they attacked or how they tore, they could not completely suppress the blue silver thunder that was raging in the sky!
