Chapter 371 Why are you wearing someone else's clothes and using someone else's
Thessaly Line, a grove near the military camp.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere spread, drowning out all the noise.
The nearby birds landed on the branches and trembled in their nests. The insects, ants, bees and butterflies on the ground were all trembling with fear, not daring to make even the slightest sound. The whole forest was silent, with only crisp shouts echoing in the moonlight.
"Sit down~!"
"Woof!"
"Raise your hand, hold your claws~"
“Woof woof!”
"First roll over, then let the left head bite the right ear, the right head bite the left ear, and put the tail into the mouth of the middle head."
"Woof?"
"You don't even understand this, you're so stupid!"
The two Gorgons squatting on the ground looked at the three-headed hellhound standing there stupidly, and rubbed the dog's head next to them with a smile.
“Ouch~~”
Cerberus, the dog of Hades who was rumored to be ferocious and cruel, was now like a docile puppy, lying in front of his two sisters, allowing them to be petted and trained, looking quite contented and happy.
"Cerberus, aren't you guarding the gate of Hades? Why are you in Thessaly?"
"Tell me the truth, did you sneak out?"
Stheno and Euryale scratched the chin of the dog-headed creature beside them while asking questions with a smile, hoping to extort some benefits from their brother after finding something on him.
“Woof woof!”
Accompanied by Cerberus' joyful cry, the two little demons learned the whole story.
"Oh, so you were summoned here."
"That guy was involved too? He left you in the human world?"
Stheno and Euryale looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
The evidence was related to that guy? This made them even more excited.
Brother-in-law, you don't want Hades to find out that you have violated the rules of the underworld, right?
At the same time, in the tent.
Loen, who was drafting an alliance contract on a parchment scroll, suddenly felt a chill and sneezed loudly.
"A-choo~!"
"What? Caught a cold?"
The goddess of wisdom "Athena" at the table, or the ocean nymph Thetis dressed as "Athena", gently held her husband's arm and asked him with concern.
"Not with my physical condition. I wonder who is talking about me behind my back." Loen chuckled and shook his head. He then made the final stroke and handed the roughly drafted alliance contract to Thetis for review.
Thetis picked up the parchment scroll covered with Hermetic text, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but roll her eyes coquettishly at her husband in front of her.
This thing is more like a contract of selling oneself than an alliance agreement.
Not only is the entire text written in extremely binding Hermetic text, the relevant clauses also contain extremely binding self-enforced testimonies.
This is a kind of magic ritual used when concluding an agreement that cannot be violated, which can effectively prevent the breach of contract.
Once the two parties who signed the contract violate the contents of the signature, the secret text can use the name of the god in the signature to impose a certain degree of corresponding curse on the defaulter.
Moreover, her husband also filled in the names of Styx, the river of oath, Themis, the goddess of justice, and the three goddesses of fate on it to act as guarantors.
With the endorsement of these three parties, in principle, no means can be used to cancel its effectiveness. If the two parties to the alliance sign the certificate and meet the conditions of the oath to make the certificate effective, even if the oath-taker is dead, the mark and curse on it will still track the souls of both parties and continue to fulfill this agreement.
The reason why Thetis called it a contract of selling herself was that it only put forward the responsibilities and obligations of the ocean gods in detail and strictly, but the requirements for Loen himself were mostly vague, leaving a lot of room for maneuver.
However, Thetis had no intention of standing up for her father Nereus and those marine gods.
Because the signature was written with both her name and Loen's name.
In other words, once this alliance contract is passed, she will have the same power as her husband and will be eligible to control the ocean gods who come to surrender.
Moreover, it was her husband who paid the price, without her having to make any sacrifices for it.
"There's no need to do this for me..." Thetis looked at Lorne tenderly, her eyes filled with emotion that could not be expressed in words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife." Luo En chuckled and scratched his wife's nose, his eyes gentle but firm, "We are one, we share honor and disgrace!"
The deep whisper flowed into Thetis's chest from her ears, sweeping away the depression that had been growing in her heart due to the long absence in recent days.
We are united in purpose and share weal and woe.
This is easy to say, but how many Greek couples can do it?
Just considering this for my wife, I, as a husband, am much better than others.
"Don't tell me, even you are not sure you can win this battle?"
Thetis held Lorne's hand and looked at her husband worriedly.
As a goddess who also bears the name of "wisdom", her sharpness is no less than that of Athena, especially in sensing danger and planning self-protection.
The final battle with the giants had not yet begun, but her husband had already thought of a way out for her by taking advantage of the surrender of the ocean gods.
This action actually shows that her husband does not have the confidence to win in this war between the new and old gods.
"Warfare is ever-changing, so how can there be any guarantee of victory?"
Loen chuckled, patted the back of Thetis's hand, and quietly expressed his opinion.
“If there is a 30% chance of success, it is worth a try; if there is a 50% chance of success, you can give it a try; if there is a 70% chance of success, it is enough to bet everything; and the so-called 100% chance of winning is often a trap, so you should be vigilant instead.”
After thinking carefully about her own experiences over the years, Thetis nodded in agreement.
This is indeed the case. It is abnormal for everything to be too perfect, and it is more likely to hide disasters.
Thinking of this, Thetis's worries were relieved a lot, and she buried her head in cleaning up the scattered table for her husband.
Looking at his wife's busy back, Lorne breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I managed to fool her. Otherwise, if she continued to ask me what the chances of winning were, I really wouldn't have been able to answer her.
Because the current war between the giants is too different from the story in Loen's memory. Without the participation of Zeus, Loen himself is not sure how far he can lead the gods and humans.
As Loen was thinking about his next move, he inadvertently saw Thetis who had finished tidying up the table and was walking towards the bed in the tent. His heart skipped a beat and he laughed dryly and declined.
"It's too messy in there, so I won't bother you. I'll do it myself later."
"It doesn't matter. I'll need it tonight anyway."
"You're going to stay here?"
"Why? You don't like it?"
Thetis stopped and looked at Lorne with a hum, vaguely smelling a strong sense of adultery from her husband.
"How could that be! You are my legitimate wife, I wish you would stay!" Lorne, who had a strong desire to survive, spoke hastily and solemnly, then glanced at Thetis, who had purple hair and golden eyes, and rubbed his hands with a dry laugh, saying, "But, can you change back to your original appearance first? It feels weird for me to say this to you with this face."
So that’s why?
Thetis suddenly realized where the strange feeling of stealing from her husband came from.
Of course, it could also be because of a guilty conscience.
After all, her husband had had many "in-depth" communications with her cousin, the goddess of wisdom, in private.
Thinking of this, Thetis snorted slightly.
"No, I think this is fine!"
Looking at his wife who had made up her mind, Lorne didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Not only does she wear other people's clothes, but she also dresses up as that person and torments her real husband at night.
I don’t know who will be more powerful between her and Athena in the end.
Forget it, the circle is too chaotic, I don’t want to think about it.
Lorne shook his head self-awarely and was about to pull his legitimate wife, who was addicted to role-playing, into the house to reminisce the old days and chat about the night, when a tall figure rushed into the tent at lightning speed under the cover of darkness.
"You are really here!"
Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the flawless white arms and plump, mature figure of the person who lifted the curtain, Loen's heart suddenly stopped. He subconsciously activated the speed of the Goat and prepared to run away.
"Athena, you're here too? Quick! Stop him, don't let him get away!"
Hera licked her cherry lips and excitedly called out to her "ally" beside her.
She went out tonight not to chase a silly dog that was out for fun, but her real purpose was to sneak into the military camp and reminisce with her lover.
But he didn't expect that in addition to his lover, his former ally was also in the military camp.
Humph, luckily you came, otherwise, I would have been eaten alone by the opponent!
"Okay~"
With a response that was a bit playful and weird, "Athena" blocked the back door and stopped the person who was trying to escape.
Looking at Thetis who seemed to be smiling in front of him, and Hera who was approaching step by step with burning eyes behind him, Loen felt like crying but had no tears.
What is happening?
The wife meets her lover, the daughter meets her adoptive mother, the actor and the real thing are in cahoots with each other... so many outrageous elements can come together, how can people survive?
"Hold his hands!"
"No problem, but I haven't made the bed yet..."
"Then use the table as before!"
"good!"
As the two men, who hit it off immediately, took action, the lamb in the tent, which had nowhere to escape, was dragged onto the desk, uttering mournful cries.
"Gu, no..."
However, all he got in response was the humiliation of being stripped naked and being ravaged by two female beasts.
At the same time, in the Great Temple of the God of War Mountain.
The goddess of wisdom, who was watching the recent battle report, suddenly felt an itch in her nose and sneezed loudly.
Strange, who is talking about me behind my back?
Athena rubbed her nose, put down the document she had just read, stood up and walked out of the hall, looking in the direction of Thessaly, muttering to herself.
The activities of sea beasts in the Oceanus Sea are becoming more and more frequent. It will take some time to build the coastal wall. Typhon and Cronus may take advantage of this period to launch a surprise attack. We need to pay more attention and be prepared for a fight... I don't know if Thetis brought these words of mine to your attention.
~~
At this moment, deep underground.
Eleven ancient temples dedicated to the Titan gods stood tall, and the scarlet divine emblems above them flickered like eerie stars, illuminating the entire underground world.
Thousands of giants gathered on the rocky sacrificial site, greedily breathing in the high concentration of divine factors in the air, feeling the stirring of their blood and the ancient memories revived in their brains, and like a pack of wolves worshipping their alpha wolf, they cast fanatical and adoring glances toward the high tower in the center.
Just as the nature of wolves is to hunt and fight, so is the nature of Titans.
Their nature is to conquer and fight!
Only dirty and cowardly mice would hide in the dark underground and live a miserable life. The earth and sky where the sun shines are their real hunting grounds.
Although they have forgotten this pride for nearly a thousand years due to the situation, soon, the old gods will lead them out of the gutter, return to the earth, crush those falling apart gods in one fell swoop, gallop and kill on the earth at will, and finally attack Olympus, extinguish the remaining fire between the stars, and rekindle the glory of the Titans!
Under the expectant gaze of the giants, the divine tower in the center, guarded by eleven Titan temples, hummed and vibrated, and the door made of volcanic stone slowly opened.
A towering figure with a body as if cast from steel and an extremely oppressive aura walked out of the hall, and surging divine power burst out, forming a scarlet wave visible to the naked eye, causing the giants present to tremble instinctively and almost lose their breath.
But the more fear they had in their hearts, the happier the giants were.
Because, this just proves that the God-King who is leading them is extremely powerful!
"Finally, it's done..."
With a low murmur, Alcyoneus, the king of the giants, or Kronos, the king of the Titans, looked at the ten-cornered black crown on his head and the dark golden armor on his body in the firelight, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he turned slightly and raised his hand to summon the divine tower behind him.
Suddenly, the dark sky of the underground world hummed and trembled, and ten scarlet emblems ignited and shone above the divine tower, releasing endless power!
This is the emblem of the Titans' life, and also the embodiment of their loyalty to the God King Kronos. It also represents the ceremony of the world welcoming Kronos' return. Once the Titan God dies in battle, the corresponding emblem on the tower will also disappear.
Unfortunately, there are still two missing so far.
Kronos touched the resonant and flickering black ten-sided crown on his head, and looked at the last two vacancies with regret on his face.
Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, Themis, the goddess of justice...
All he needed was their divinity and power, and he would be able to unite all things into one and take that step forward once and for all.
By then, even if he faced Zeus's evil offspring, he might not be without the ability to fight.
However, as long as he can take over the entire world, he will meet his two sisters sooner or later.
Really looking forward to it...
Kronos grinned grimly, raised his hand and clenched his fingers. The nine Titan temples outside the divine tower vibrated and hummed. Nine giants with different divine emblems engraved on their foreheads walked out of the hall together and gathered behind the Titan King.
Looking at the giant who inherited the [God's grace], whose expression was numb and eyes were empty, Prometheus hiding in the giant felt a chill in his heart.
Their consciousness was completely devoured, leaving only their bodies as containers to welcome the arrival of the Titan gods.
Even the giant king who thought himself to be powerful was no exception!
Sure enough, Kronos' blessing had no good intentions from the beginning.
Prometheus secretly thanked himself for being vigilant, but when he looked up, he was filled with worry.
Kronos has completely taken control of his new body and awakened the nine Titans. Can the gods on earth really withstand the combined forces of the giants and monsters?
