Chapter 287: The old man with Zeus exploded! (4.1k)
Meanwhile, Olympus.
Thunderclouds gathered above the throne, and lightning bolts as thick as buckets kept falling, whipping the rune chains into dazzling sparks. Zeus' originally weak breath and divinity continued to rise, and Athena, Hera, and Hephaestus, who were responsible for clamping him, had to guard against the falling lightning from the sky, and resist Zeus' power, and gradually they were unable to cope.
In the devastated square, divine power was pulsating, ether was surging, and the mountain was shaking and breaking apart under the destruction of both sides. Faced with the three powerful hundred-armed giants, Poseidon, Apollo, and Artemis who were responsible for dealing with them also began to feel dangerous.
“Roar~~”
The one hundred and fifty heads of the three Titans roared loudly. Kotos, Briareus and the warlike Goius waved their strong hands, materialized huge rocks with divine power, threw them out one after another, smashed them into the opponent, and launched a fierce attack.
Faced with this massive attack, Apollo, Artemis, and Poseidon did not dare to challenge it easily. They could only drive their bronze chariots and try their best to avoid the overwhelming boulders.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
For a moment, the huge rocks thrown by the hundred-armed giants passed through the starlight, rubbed against the air, and fell rapidly from the sky, like a terrifying meteor shower raining down on the earth. The sound of the boundless waves echoed, the earth roared, and even the vast sky shook and groaned. The towering base of Mount Olympus trembled under the heavy blows of the three hundred-armed giants. The strong vibration spread from their feet to the dark Tartarus.
The three Olympian gods who were fighting against him also tried hard to fight back and try to turn the situation around.
The surging torrent of ether swept over and swept away, and whistling golden and silver heavy arrows fell one after another.
The two sides threw weapons at each other, causing endless sobbing. The weapons came into close combat, and the sounds of fighting and collision continued.
The battle is extremely fierce and has entered a white-hot stage.
On the contrary, Ares and Hermes in front of the throne, and Aphrodite in the square, are at the other extreme.
None of them dared to take action first and could only maintain a certain tacit understanding and stare at each other from a distance.
There is no way, the three main gods are afraid.
Aphrodite was worried about Zeus's pursuit and Apollo's leaking of the secret because of the illegal resurrection of her lover Adonis, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and fend off Ares and Hermes.
Ares was in a situation where his biological mother Hera and his old lover Aphrodite were both across the street, so he couldn't hit or scold her. If he wanted to sleep with the goddess of love and live a good life, he could only turn a blind eye.
Hermes was out of fear that no one could afford to offend him, and he was worried that if he really killed someone, when the time came to reckon with him, he, the last of the twelve gods, would be the one to take the blame. With his flexible and manipulative personality, he naturally didn't want to do such a losing business.
What's more, Ares' attitude beside him also made him scared. Who knew if he really rushed towards the god of love, Ares behind him might get horny or bewitched and suddenly shoot him in the back. He would be really unbearable then.
As a result, the three main gods, each of whom was afraid of both sides, maintained a delicate balance and paddled frantically on the edge.
Finally, after several hours of stalemate, the fragile balance on the field was broken.
"Bang!"
Poseidon was unable to dodge in mid-air, and was blown away with his car, crashing heavily into the body of Mount Olympus.
The one who swung the giant stick was none other than Briareus, the good son-in-law that the Sea King had just married.
There was no way out. Having lost his dignity, his authority over the ocean was continuously suppressed and weakened for various reasons, and he had just consumed a lot of his divinity and power to suppress Zeus. Poseidon was already in a half-crippled state at the start of the second game.
But unfortunately, his good son-in-law Briareus, who was competing against him, happened to be the leader of the hundred-armed giants and the strongest among the three.
Therefore, the unlucky Poseidon was eventually beaten up.
As the sea king was defeated, Briareus, unstoppable, stepped forward and threw the giant stick in his hand at Hephaestus.
Although he was a hundred-armed giant and was good at fighting, Briareus, as the leader, was rare in wisdom. He knew how to observe and think, and easily grasped the key point of the attack.
Suddenly, the God of Craftsman, who was attacked from both sides, was caught off guard and knocked down by a stick. He subconsciously relaxed his control over the throne and chains.
Zeus immediately seized the opportunity, summoned thunder to break the shackles on his body, and successfully escaped.
"How dare you, a bunch of traitors, betray me!"
The situation reversed, and the God King's heart was suddenly filled with excitement. He could no longer suppress his inner excitement, and grappled his teeth as he vented his anger at the rebels in front of him.
His eyes shone with light and he waved his hands forward, throwing out lightning continuously. Strings of thunderbolts hit the target directly, accompanied by violent explosions in front of him with lightning and thunder, causing flames to swirl everywhere, extremely strong - the footholds of the surrounding rebel gods were roaring and burning, and pieces of rocks harder than steel were turned into powder, leaving only pieces of charred pits.
Athena, who was the first to bear the brunt, raised Aegis high and resisted with all her might, while Hera, holding the Soshin bow, shot a rain of arrows and thunder to provide support from behind.
But as the fierce lightning continued to strike the shield, making a deafening roar, the two slender figures were gradually bent.
Even the Aegis Shield itself, which could effectively block thunder, began to whine under the heavy burden and faint cracks appeared.
Damn it! How can this old thing be so strong?
Athena and Hera cursed inwardly and held on with great effort.
And seeing that his daughter and wife were still resisting stubbornly under such pressure and had no intention of surrendering, Zeus became even more furious. He immediately summoned the Aegis, gathered dark clouds, and cast a waterfall of lightning at the two figures on the field who were about to collapse.
“Crack~~”
The Aegis Shield, which had long been on the verge of its limit, made a crisp tearing sound, and the golden barrier supported on the outside swayed and shattered. The unstoppable waterfall of lightning swallowed up the rain of arrows and thunder of the Soxin Bow, and smashed straight towards Athena and Hera, who were already at the end of their strength.
"boom!"
The ground shook and rocks flew everywhere.
However, as the smoke and dust dissipated, a tall figure supported Athena and Hera, standing firmly in the charred pit.
Behind him was a golden wheel with twelve sides.
That perfect circle seemed to contain infinite light, which even the indestructible thunder could not easily extinguish.
"It's you!"
Zeus was stunned when he saw his "future son-in-law" who suddenly appeared in front of him. But after sensing the vast divinity in the human body, his face was filled with surprise and doubt.
"How did you become the Lord God?"
As some familiar divine fluctuations came, Zeus suddenly realized and his face became gloomy.
"Hestia gave it to you? Great, great! She's even involved in this rebellion!"
In this situation, the prospective son-in-law's position is self-evident.
When Zeus learned that there was another person among the twelve gods who disobeyed him, he felt unprecedented anger in his heart.
If the rebellion of Athena and Hera was just a personal grudge against him, then the fact that even Hestia defected meant that the rebellion had escalated to the point of wanting to overthrow the entire Olympian theocracy system.
The royal power he built on this was denied its legitimacy.
"Lady Hestia has no intention of becoming your enemy."
Loen answered honestly, vindicating his own god, then released the arms of Athena and Hera, revealing a compassionate look, and pondered leisurely.
"And I am not here to take sides, but to make a reasonable request - Your Majesty, the war between the gods has caused great suffering to the people on earth, why not stop here?"
Zeus, who was suspicious by nature, did not believe Hestia's position as described by Loen, and directly classified both of them as rebels, sneering with a gloomy face.
"You betrayed me first, so why do you want me to stop?"
"Your perverse actions are also a betrayal to them. We are all..."
Luo En smiled and asked back, his words were sharp but meaningful.
"How dare you blame me?" Zeus, who was being mocked, flew into a rage. He looked at his future son-in-law with a sinister look in his eyes. "It seems like you have forgotten how you walked out of the dungeon. Since you want to die so badly, I will grant your wish!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand forward, urged his power, and activated the divine seal buried in the body of his future son-in-law.
The seven main gods who initially initiated the rebellion were all the cornerstones of the Olympian theocracy and were related to the stability of his kingship. Even though he wanted to wipe out all of these rebels to prevent future troubles, it would not be appropriate to target any of them.
And this future son-in-law who has not yet married, although successfully joined the ranks of the main gods, was only gifted by Hestia. To the Olympian God King family, he was just an insignificant outsider, and it was most appropriate to use him to establish authority.
Moreover, the Godhead of the Hearth, who was in charge of religious sacrifices, was extremely important to the theocracy of the entire Olympus. Since his elder sister was not very honest and gave this thing to a subordinate god for nothing, it would be better for him to take it back personally and choose a more suitable owner for this Godhead.
This little bastard just happened to run into the muzzle of the gun, now we're using him as a warning to the monkeys!
At this moment, looking at the arcs of lightning flashing on his body, Loen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You want to kill me?"
"A disobedient dog is not worth keeping!"
Zeus sneered and slowly closed the five fingers of his right hand, preparing to detonate the divine seal in Loen's body.
Feeling a destructive force brewing in his body, Loen shook his head helplessly.
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, he urged the Goat and the Eagle to their maximum speed, turned into a residual image, and crashed into Zeus at lightning speed. Then, in full view of everyone, the golden halo behind him burst into dazzling light.
And that ray of light seemed to be brighter than the Thunder Seal that was about to explode.
Looking at the strange smile on the face in front of him, Zeus inexplicably smelled a hint of danger, and absurd thoughts roared in his mind.
He's going to... self-destruct?
As the blazing white light and high-temperature burning wind swept in front of him, Zeus' brain suddenly went offline.
Boom——!
Balls of light suddenly appeared in the field of vision, gradually expanding and falling downwards. The terrifying sonic booms turned into bursts of thunder on the ground. Several huge mushroom clouds rose from the ground amidst terrifying flashes and noisy roars. The smoke and haze covering Olympus were swept away by the violent winds, and replaced by a dramatic light that shone like a star.
The huge wind pressure and shock waves gathered in the middle of the tan clouds to form huge fog-like rings, and under the cover of the rings, everything was annihilated.
The ground began to tremble, twist, crack, and surge. The temperature continued to rise, the heat was biting.
After an unknown amount of time, everything started again from the pause button.
“Crackle… crackle…”
The world is burning, and that burning stench means that everything is on fire.
The entire Holy Mountain of Olympus seemed to have fallen into a black and white quagmire. The temples were razed to the ground, not just one room, but an entire area, spreading endlessly to the far horizon. The ground was torn into countless wounds like a baby's mouth, as if revealing a bottomless abyss.
At this moment, on the square that was the core explosion point, the surface covered by the high temperature turned into flowing red magma.
There are several bottomless caves, emitting billowing hellfire.
Looking around, everything looks like a cruel painting left by the devil.
“Ahem…”
With a dull cough, Hermes pushed away the rocks on his body and looked at the square where the magma was flowing with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he was smart and ran away early when he saw that the situation was not right, so he was only affected by the hot wind and high temperature and suffered some minor injuries.
In comparison, Ares and the three hundred-armed giants, who were slower to react, were in a much worse situation.
The Berserker God's skin was now burnt black, his body was covered with bloody wounds, and he was lying in the lava, coughing up blood;
The three hundred-armed giants suffered all the damage due to their huge sizes. Some had their hands and heads cut off. Almost half of their original one hundred pairs of arms and fifty heads were destroyed. From a distance, they looked like a bare mountain of flesh.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was Zeus, who was the first to be hit. His Majesty the King of Gods had his chest blown to pieces with flesh and blood flying all over it, and one could even see the golden heart beating inside his chest through his broken ribs. At the same time, his originally handsome old face had nearly half of its flesh cut off, and his white gums and bloody face were exposed to the air. One of his thighs in the lower body was missing.
Just by taking a look at it, Hermes felt a piercing pain.
But it's just painful.
The main gods have nearly immortal souls and undying flesh and blood, and if their godhead is not destroyed, they can be resurrected again.
Accompanied by a crazy wriggling of flesh and blood, Zeus' half-broken body gradually recovered, and his half-black and half-red face showed an angry and distorted expression.
"I XX##XX!"
Curses came out in rapid succession, and just as the extremely angry God King was about to whip the culprit's corpse,
The next moment, the sea surface was raging with waves, the sky was shattered like glass, ancient giants, deformed monsters, hideous monsters, towering old gods... one after another terrifying phantoms broke free from the chaos.
Titans! Typhon's demon army!
Zeus' heart skipped a beat, his face changed drastically, and his newly grown brain was filled with a series of question marks.
What's going on? This, this isn't right, is it?
