Chapter 375: Husband Defense War (4.5k)
"Idiot! Do you think you can defeat me?"
A sneer of contempt came from the stormy sea. Hundreds of ferocious dragon heads slowly opened their eyes, and cunning looks were revealed in their pairs of pitch-black vertical pupils.
With a burst of flesh and blood squirming, the previously broken scales on its body regenerated rapidly, and the chest pierced by the Spear of Victory also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Compared to gods, gods and monsters lack intelligence, but their physical strength and self-healing are their strengths.
As the ancestor of all demons, Typhon not only possesses the powerful immortality of gods and monsters, but also the wisdom of gods. In his heyday, even Zeus had to be careful when dealing with him.
Otherwise, a monster that only knew how to fight mindlessly could not have become the bad guy that almost cleared the Olympus dungeon alone.
This is also the reason why Athena did not intend to join forces with Poseidon immediately after seeing Typhon expose his divine core.
"It seems that Zeus and that kid didn't come? Well, I will kill you first as a sacrifice for my conquest!"
At the same time, Typhon in the storm sea grinned and opened his scaly arms. Nearly a hundred heads raised their heads and uttered syllables like thunder, human speech, and beast roars. Red and black divine patterns lit up and operated in front of the hundred heads, like the muzzles of guns that were constantly focusing.
The next moment, red and black light patterns spread rapidly toward the sea ahead, and the strange resonance and vibration almost covered the entire coastal area.
“Shhhhhhh!”
As the red and black divine patterns flashed, scarlet beams of magic power swept across the Bronze Clan's mechas, fleets, and mechas on the sea like a meteor shower, and shot towards the interstellar city mountain Olympus.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Under the catastrophic light band, tens of thousands of Olympus mechas, several combat mechas, hundreds of deep-sea warships, and densely packed auxiliary combat units were instantly torn to pieces and exploded one after another.
Even Olympus, the interstellar city mountain that served as the home of the Bronze Clan, was not spared.
After the light band cleared the sea surface, it bombarded the metal mountain in the center of the metal continent with terrifying residual power.
Feeling the power contained therein, Chaos did not dare to delay, and immediately activated his divine core, chanting solemnly together with the remaining bronze mechas and mechas under his command.
"Chaos of Chaos, Jupiter (Zeus) of the Most High,
The king who swallowed the life of the gods in obedience to the will of heaven,
The first and last source of lightning, the root of earth and starry sky,
It is the foundation of all things (bronze), and its glory will always be with it.
——Everything is me, everything is light!"
Rays of starlight rose from the earth and islands, like shining rivers, and converged towards Olympus in the sea of stars, turning into a starry shield that blocked Typhon's powerful attack.
[Divine Body Barrier], a conceptual defense created by combining the existing power of the Bronze Clan and the legend of the prototypes of Zeus and Aegis, is an extremely powerful barrier.
In theory, the more Bronze Clan members participate in [Tuning] and [Resonance], the stronger the defense of the [Divine Body Barrier] will be.
But……
On the bronze throne, Jupiter, the King of Olympus, who had silver hair and facial features that were 70% similar to Zeus, touched the silver metal core on his chest that beat like a heart, and his golden eyes, which gathered starlight, looked down at the bronze kingdom he ruled.
At this moment, some of the ten outer metal islands were billowing with smoke, some were torn apart, and some were swallowed by the waves, while the metal continental walls on the inner side collapsed, and everywhere were the wreckage of mechas and mechas that were paralyzed and collapsed due to overload operation.
Thirty percent! In order to withstand this attack, the Bronze Clan lost thirty percent of their accumulated strength over tens of millions of years!
If this continues, it won’t be long before the entire Bronze Clan will be wiped out by Typhon.
As the Bronze Clan army on the sea suffered heavy losses, a large number of magical beasts rushed out of the stormy sea and headed straight for the interstellar city mountain Olympus, which was in a semi-paralyzed state, trying to gnaw open the turtle shell that blocked the way for their demon ancestor.
Facing the approaching beast tide, Jupiter (Zeus), the king of the Bronze Clan, or rather, Chaos, the mecha god who descended from the galaxy with this body and name as his shell, had a starlight flash in his eyes.
Suddenly, a bronze mecha god with female features on an outer island had a halo of the same type light up behind him, and he gently waved a scepter carved with wheat ears in his hand.
"——You are the fruit of your hard work!"
In the gentle words of God, tiny stars fell from the sky, as if a sweet rain had fallen.
The warring parties were shocked to see that the shattered deep-sea warships on the sea were pieced together again under the influence of the starlight, and the cracks gradually disappeared; the broken limbs of the bronze mechas and mechas rose from the sea and reconnected with their bodies; and thousands of directly melted wide-area annihilation weapons and beast-shaped mechanical creations, like rapidly hatching swarms of insects, used the creation and healing power that came down from the sky and the metal elements enriched in the sea water to refresh and proliferate again.
In the blink of an eye, they had successfully occupied the ocean, filled the sky, and flew towards the surging beast tide in groups, and fought again with the demon army under Typhon.
“Is this what they are capable of?”
Watching the Bronze Clan quickly exploding their troops on the battlefield, Medusa was astonished and secretly shocked.
"That's right. Self-proliferation, self-replication, and self-evolution. This is the terrifying thing about the Bronze Clan. As long as there are enough resources, their number can even fill the entire Age of Gods in a short period of time!"
Athena answered in a deep voice, looking at the cold metallic light that blocked out the sun and sky on the sea. After her eyes flickered faintly, she spoke slowly.
"In the beginning, after the war between gods and the catastrophe, the earth was desolate and ruined. The bronze race, which was made of metal and was not afraid of high temperatures or severe cold, was created as a tool to transform the environment and reshape civilization. For example, the mecha god based on Zeus was responsible for manipulating the weather and improving the climate; the mecha god based on Demeter was responsible for improving the soil and re-cultivating plants; the mecha god based on Artemis was responsible for sniping the rebellious monsters and eradicating the causes of the catastrophe...
But later, in their continuous evolution, they not only developed a high level of intelligence, but also attempted to usurp the names of gods, steal their powers, and then seize the authority of the gods. Because of this transgression, Zeus destroyed them. This is the only time in which I think Zeus did the right thing among the several destructions of the world."
Medusa listened to the secrets of the Bronze Age with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
The destruction of the Bronze Clan was caused not only by their usurpation of power, but also by their own terrifying ability to proliferate and replicate. Once allowed to develop unscrupulously, they would grow stronger as a clan.
Then, the resources of the entire God Age World may be consumed by the Bronze Clan.
Moreover, in the process of reproduction and evolution, not only did they fail to provide faith to the gods, they even created their own gods and wanted to seize the authority of the gods. Naturally, such a bold act would not be tolerated by the gods.
"So what should we do? Shouldn't we go and help?"
Medusa pointed at the metal frenzy and Typhon's demon army that were fighting on the sea, and whispered to Athena beside her.
Athena glanced at a figure buried in the rubble and spoke with a smile.
"Don't be impatient. Our Sea God hasn't even appeared yet. How can we monopolize this highlight moment?"
After all, he is an immortal main god. Even if he was attacked by Di Feng, he would only suffer some serious injuries at most. His Majesty the God of the Sea is far from being half-dead.
He would rather be buried under a rock than appear on the scene. Perhaps it was because of his old habit of being cautious about his health when doing big things that he did not dare to confront Typhon head-on, who was obviously stronger than him.
However, Athena was not in a hurry.
Anyway, there is the coastal wall and the army of the Bronze Clan blocking in front. Even if the sky is about to fall, it will not fall on their heads first. Let's see who can afford it.
At this moment, the Demon Ancestor Typhon in the Storm Sea was very angry when he saw that the beasts he released were driven back. He opened his huge mouth again and madly absorbed the magic factors around him, turning them into scarlet light bands.
Seeing this familiar scene, the first Mecha God Chaoston felt his heart core tremble, and hurriedly turned around and roared at the coast wall behind him.
"Poseidon! Why don't you help? Without the support of my clan, you and your Poseidon Temple will not have a good ending!"
That mechanical voice actually contained a rare hint of human anger.
Hearing the specific cry for help, Poseidon could no longer hide. He had to pretend that he had just recovered from his shock, and rushed out of the rubble, to fight against the attack of Typhon together with Chaos, the mecha god.
At this time, Athena also stopped resting and turned to look at Medusa beside her.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go on stage. If we push him too hard, there's no guarantee that His Majesty the Sea God won't run away from the battlefield."
"Aren't you waiting for the other main gods?"
Medusa looked back at the numerous city-states behind the coastal wall and asked her main god in confusion.
According to the original plan, once the enemy is discovered, the gods and city-states participating in the Ares Mountain Alliance have the obligation to reinforce their allies.
Normally, after such a long time, they should have arrived.
"Don't wait." Athena waved her hand and responded softly, "I sent them to Thessaly."
"Thessaly?" Medusa was slightly stunned, looking a little confused. "What are we going there for? Isn't it the coastal wall that was attacked?"
Athena tapped Medusa's smooth forehead with her fingers and asked back unhappily.
"Secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure. This demon ancestor set out from the Chaos Sea with great fanfare, crossing the entire Oceanus Sea, preparing to land and attack Olympus. Putting aside the success rate of this route, do you think this ostentatious behavior is its style?"
Medusa rubbed her slightly red forehead and looked resentfully at her own main god who had started a fight over a disagreement. The confused thoughts in her mind gradually came to her senses with this physical reminder.
"You mean... a feint?"
"And what is its purpose?"
"Use this as bait to tie down the elite troops and gods of Sparta, Corinth, Mycenae and other city-states along the route! Then, while the rear is empty and we cannot take care of each other, we can capture Thessaly in one fell swoop!"
Medusa frowned in thought while handing in her answer sheet seriously. Then she looked at Athena beside her with sudden enlightenment.
"So, the real main battlefield is not on the coastal wall, but in Thessaly! No wonder you never seemed nervous from beginning to end..."
Athena nodded slightly, her eyes full of depth.
"Until the situation becomes clear, we just need to guard the coastal wall. After all, compared to the threat in front of us, the fangs from behind may be more deadly!"
Although Medusa agreed with her goddess's judgment, she couldn't help but mutter, "There's no need to transfer the Olympian gods who can help away."
"Stupid!" Athena snorted coldly, and immediately gave the god a hard slap on the head, and said unhappily, "Since the feint attack has already begun, do you think the main attack will be far away? If I'm right, the giants have probably already launched an operation in Thessaly. If we wait for us to temporarily withdraw troops to support them, who knows if they can hold on there!"
"Oh, so that's what happened."
After figuring out the reason, Medusa rubbed her head and looked at her own god with admiration.
Lady Athena is truly the embodiment of wisdom and thinks things through carefully.
However, seeing the admiration in Medusa's eyes, Athena became a little bored.
Sure enough, the only person on the coalition side who could keep up with her thinking and pace was that little bastard.
As the two goddesses and the defenders on the coastal wall jointly launched an offensive towards the Sea of Oceanus to support the Temple of Poseidon and the Bronze Clan who were caught in a tough battle, Athena turned her head to look in the direction of Thessaly behind her and murmured.
Lorne, the real game has begun.
I hope you can still win this time. Don't let me, don't let all of us down...
~~
Meanwhile, Thessaly.
Hearing the noise, Loen walked out of the tent and looked at the ether torrents and colorful auroras that were constantly crisscrossing on the Sea of Oceanus. He frowned deeply and immediately spoke in a deep voice to the two goddesses who accompanied him.
"Typhon and his demon army have already set out. Hera, you and Thetis will immediately set out to the coast of Thessaly, meet up with Hebe, and then immediately organize people to clear the waterway and meet Nereus and his group!"
"good!"
Hera nodded decisively, and naturally understood the purpose of Loen's arrangement.
Typhon's deployment meant that the Sea of Oceanus was no longer safe, and Nereus and his group who came to surrender were likely to be targeted by Typhon and his demon army on the way.
To be on the safe side, we cannot just wait for three days for the alliance meeting, but need to connect with them in advance.
However, given that the current sea routes are full of dangers and uncertainties, Hebe and Thetis alone are inevitably outnumbered.
Just in case, I need to go with you.
But then...
Hera looked at her little lover, a hint of worry on her face.
"You are the only one guarding Thessaly..."
"Don't worry, reinforcements are on the way."
Loen waved his hand gently, looked with a smile at the Sea of Oceanus which was caught in a fierce battle, raised his hand and pointed at several divine light patterns flashing in the sky, and explained in a deep voice.
"Look, after such a long time, the only gods participating in the battle at sea are Athena and Poseidon. With such a big commotion, it is impossible for the remaining Olympian gods not to sense it. Since they are not in the Oceanus Sea, they must have received instructions to move to another battlefield."
"Thessaly!"
Hera understood the answer, and the slight uneasiness in her mind disappeared. She then decisively summoned the peacock chariot, took her adopted daughter Thetis, and rushed to the coast of Thessaly.
As the chariot sailed into the starry sky, Thetis looked at her husband on the ground, who was gazing at the Sea of Oceanus, and murmured.
He and Athena really hit it off and could guess each other's thoughts so easily.
But after a brief moment of loss, Thetis on the chariot clenched her fists, and an unprecedented desire to win rose in her heart.
However, this is my husband. I will not give in so easily and give up the one I love to someone else!
For the first time, peaceful Thetis was so unwilling to escape, so unwilling to bow her head, and so eager to win a battle.
“Mother, since Athena has asked the gods of the city-states to move closer to Thessaly, it proves that Typhon and his demon army are probably just making a feint attack on the Oceanus Sea line. Thessaly is what they really want to seize!
Time is urgent. We must reunite with Nereus and other sea gods as soon as possible and build a defense line near the coast of Thessaly to deal with the next attack.
So please hurry up, the sooner the better! "
Hearing her adopted daughter's solemn and serious reminder, Hera's heart trembled, and she immediately pushed the divine power in her body to the extreme.
The two peacocks pulling the bronze chariot turned into swift streams of light, cutting through the dark night sky and falling towards the sea near Thessaly like meteorites.
