Chapter 394: Poaching? Demolish Zeus's house! (4.2k)
On the battlefield, a large number of monsters and giants came like a tide, madly attacking the Thessaly defense line.
The gods, heroes, and human soldiers who climbed onto the city walls methodically mobilized their powers, cast spells, and raised their guns and shields to launch tight defenses and counterattacks, sending the monsters that tried to approach and climb onto the defense line into the underworld.
In the city, priests and clerics from different city-states and regions gathered in front of the Great Temple, singing the "Holy Words" hymns written by Dionysus and the Goddess of Memory, and blessing the gods they believed in.
"Learn, O ye, the solemn mysteries, and the most powerful prayer.
I call upon Chaos, the primordial chaos...
I call upon the eldest daughter of Chaos, Nyx of Night...
I call upon the Father of Necessity [Chronos], the Mother of Chance [Ananke]...
I call upon Mnemosyne, the Lady of Memory, and Themis, the Judge of Justice...
I call upon the shepherd of the world [Dionysus], the goddess of wisdom [Athena], the goddess of the hearth [Hestia]...
The highest Ares Mountain is the palace of stars!
I call upon the majestic Queen of Heaven [Hera], the brave warrior [Ares], the skilled craftsman [Hephaestus], the beautiful [Aphrodite], and the three-fold great [Hermes]...
There is also [Poseidon] who rules the ocean, [Demeter] who brings forth abundant fruits, [Artemis] who is silvery and holy, and [Apollo] who is everlasting in light...
Glorious Olympus, showing the glory of the gods..."
The deafening shouts echoed throughout the battlefield, gathering into a golden torrent of faith.
The nine main Olympian gods, led by the god of wine Lorn, went to find their respective opponents.
The goddess of hunting Artemis and the god of light Apollo ran to the Thessaly Mountains in unison, and faced their grandparents, the god of the sky Coeus and the goddess of light Phoebe;
The brothers Ares, the god of war, and Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, put aside their past grudges and stopped Hyperion, the god of light, and Theia, the goddess of vision, on the east side of Thessaly.
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, held wheat ears and sprinkled nectar, turning the wild northern land of Thessaly into a paradise of life, blocking the advance of Rhea, the goddess of time who was both the mother and the queen of the previous generation of gods;
The god of speed, Hermes, waved his staff, summoned the endless starlight in the sky, and trapped the god of weather, Crius, in the vast universe.
The pages of the book in front of the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, turned, and countless characters and souls flew out of it, colliding with the divine spell drawn by the prophetic titan Iapetus, starting a new round of magical bombardment;
The remaining Queen Hera teamed up with the Goddess of Love Aphrodite to lead the coastal area of Thessaly, led Nereus, Thetis and other old marine gods, and fought against the two Titan gods Oceanus, the god of the river, and Thesis, the goddess of the sea, and the sea beasts and giants they led...
Because of the Olympian rebellion, Hera and Aphrodite, although they didn't like each other very much, had already collaborated for the second time.
At the critical moment, the god of love unceremoniously used his power against the sea beasts and giants swarming on the sea, confusing their minds and causing them to attack each other; Hera took advantage of the situation and drew the heart bow, drawing thunder into arrows, turning thunderbolts into arrows to make up for the damage.
The two main gods, one controlling and the other attacking, were very much like the combination of an ADC and a control support. For a moment, they formed a suppression system, making it difficult for the river god Oceanus, the sea goddess Thesis, and a large number of monsters and giants under their command to reach the shore.
Similar scenes appeared on different battlefields. With the power of faith, the Olympian gods seemed to recreate their heroic spirit in the Titan War and firmly suppressed their opponents.
But even with greater powers, they could not completely defeat the Titans they faced.
Because these monsters are just fighting puppets without souls. As long as their cores are not destroyed, they will fight to the death. They may only stop their conquest after they have killed all the lives and civilizations that they despise.
Therefore, the key to victory or defeat of the entire battle does not lie with them, but there!
The gods of Olympus tried their best to hold back the Titans they were facing, while focusing their attention on the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, Lorne, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, had already engaged in battle with the Titan King Kronos.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, they used all their strength without hesitation.
"Kronos Heavy Scythe!"
"The second incarnation: the bull!"
The pitch-black scythe and the golden bull collided with each other, and the chaotic and distorted power of space was transferred or swallowed up by the labyrinth power that was activated.
"Crius Chaos Rain!"
"Third incarnation: goat!"
The black rain condensed from the power of chaos shot forward, and the god wrapped in the phantom of a goat soared into the air, moving forward in the dense rain curtain, and the dead branch-like spear in his hand ignited golden flames and scarlet blood light at the same time.
The aura is both sacred and eerie, combining the two extremes of care and destruction.
——The sixth incarnation: Flame!
——The fifth incarnation: Warrior!
"You think you can defeat me? How arrogant!"
Kronos looked at the figure who had once humiliated him, and was extremely angry. Two scarlet divine emblems lit up on the reshaped sickle.
The dazzling light and the darkness that takes away the opponent's vision intertwine, causing everything around to fall into endless chaos.
——Hyperion Glory!
——Theia Blind!
The familiar feeling of the five senses being stripped away came to him, and Loen, who was in chaos, simply closed his eyes and moved forward instead of retreating.
As his mind calmed, the blood-soaked warrior's shadow opened his eyes and merged into his body, bringing with him his honed fighting skills and instinctive beast instincts.
At this moment, he didn't need to look or listen, his fighting instinct would tell him how to avoid danger and kill the enemy.
The Spear of Nation-Building was delivered as fast as lightning, each strike faster and more ferocious than the last, leaving Kronos with almost no room to think, and he gradually began to be unable to resist.
Finally, after fighting for more than a hundred moves, Loen seemed to smell the opportunity to win and suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, the twelve phantoms behind him emerged together and merged into one. The Spear of Nation-Building in his hand rushed forward from an extremely tricky angle, and after piercing through Kronos' four arms that were protecting his body, it blew up the huge head in one fell swoop.
However, as blood rained down and flesh and bones splattered everywhere, Loen looked at the headless body standing in front of him and his face darkened.
——【Crown】, it’s gone!
The flesh on the bald neck squirmed, and a hideous head gradually regenerated. It grinned, revealing its gums that had not yet grown flesh, and laughed arrogantly:
"Stupid, after what happened last time, do you think I will give you the same chance again?"
Luo En narrowed his eyes, thinking: "You hid the [Crown]?"
"That's right! It's in an absolutely safe place!" Kronos looked at Loen with a smug look on his face, "This time, don't even think about using the same trick to stop my great... cause..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished his words, a spear shaped like a dead branch flew forward, and Kronos's newly grown head instantly exploded like a watermelon.
After a burst of blood and flesh squirming, the Titan God King with a skull on his head opened his jaw and roared angrily.
"You're going to die, asshole!"
"Bang!"
Several Hermetic characters that had just been outlined fell on Kronos' head, once again leaving the Titan King confused.
"Want to kill me? That's it?" Lorne looked at the headless body in front of him and sneered, "You can't do it even with that crown on, and you want to take it off to accomplish it? Who is the fool?"
A moment later, Kronos, who had grown a new head, took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. A gloomy look appeared on his face with his flesh and blood wriggling.
"I admit that you are very strong. Even if you put on that crown and showed your full strength, I may not be able to defeat you. But you seem to have forgotten that war is never a stage for one person!"
Luo En's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
Could it be that...
“Boom!”
At the same time, there were lightning and thunder on the Sea of Oceanus, and a raging typhoon brought with it huge waves, bypassing the long coastline of the Peloponnese Peninsula and pouring into the Aegean Sea in front of Athens.
One after another, ferocious sea beasts emerged from the sea and rushed towards the coastal wall near the shore.
Amidst the strong wind and thunder, the ancestor of all demons, Diphon, broke out of the water, and nearly a hundred dark and ferocious dragon heads pounced on the Acropolis of Athens and the Ares Mountain behind the coastal wall.
Seeing that the overwhelming shadow almost completely covered the Acropolis and Mount Ares, Loen's face changed and he subconsciously wanted to provide support.
However, as this thought arose in his mind, Kronos, who had grown a new head, flashed in front of him and spoke with a sinister grin.
"I don't need to win in a one-on-one fight. I just need to use my immortal body to hold you back and wait for Typhon and his demon army to conquer the God of War Mountain and then reunite with me! When the time comes, I will summon the [Crown], be crowned again, and join forces with Typhon! I want to see if you, a mere Lord God, can defeat our two God Kings!"
When Loen heard Kronos's true intention, his heart sank.
In this war, not only the new gods and humans are making progress, but so are the old gods!
These barbaric monsters who were once keen on using their fists to make things right have gradually learned to rely on "wisdom" and "strategy" to solve problems.
If the situation on the battlefield really changes as Kronos expected, then not only Athens but also Thessaly will be in danger!
The key to victory now is to find and destroy the Titan Temple, which serves as the "Throne", and the "Crown" hidden by Kronos...
etc!
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Loen's mind, and his thoughts raced.
The crown...hidden away...somewhere absolutely "safe"...
——Titan Temple! The [Crown] is in the Titan Temple!
——Moreover, if one wants to break away from the [Crown] and dominate the nine Titan gods, the location of the Titan Temple must not be too far from the battlefield!
——Otherwise, their power and immortality would be severely diminished, and they would not continue to be as vigorous as they are now.
——So, the Temple of Titan is underground in Thessaly!
The wisdom that surged in his mind allowed Loen to immediately find the answer hidden behind the fog.
He glanced at the giants' camp, and his speculation became more certain.
Prometheus, Atlas, and several high-level giants of the giant clan were not there.
It is very likely that Kronos ordered them to guard the underground Titan Temple as a safeguard for his own fused [weakness] and [fatal point].
But this is how success and failure work.
Kronos hid the [Crown] of Domination in the Titan Temple, which indeed concealed his [weakness], but at the same time made the Titan Temple, which served as a signal tower, unable to move and completely fixed it underground in the Thessaly battlefield.
This undoubtedly gave the expeditionary force the perfect opportunity to advance!
True and false, real and fake.
Prometheus, there you go!
At this moment, Loen had already guessed who was behind the scenes offering this "good advice" to Kronos, and he couldn't help but express his silent admiration for the prophet in his heart.
Well, it's time to use a surprise attack.
While Loen was radiating his divine will to convey the departure information to the Argo expeditionary forces waiting in the city, he raised his hand and summoned a cyan-gold shield from the magic circle that seemed to be made up of countless fragments.
——[A small world surrounding the sky].
This is the shield that Hephaestus carefully forged for him.
But due to the fierce battle before, the shield was destroyed by Kronos.
After the war, although the God of Craftsman recovered most of the fragments, the shield was severely damaged, and the two divine laws contained in it were also broken. Even if the God of Craftsman repaired it carefully, its power would probably be much less than before.
In the end, Loen chose to abandon the divine law of [Defense] and retain the power of [the world] within it.
Right now, it would be most appropriate to use it to create opportunities for the expeditionary force.
Seeing Kronos rushing towards him, Loen decisively threw the cyan gold shield in his hand into the air and chanted solemnly.
"This is the temple of God, this is the gate of heaven - Dionysus Cosmos!"
In an instant, the already broken shield broke into dense fragments, surrounding Lorne and Kronos.
As the light patterns flickered, the patterns of the earth, sky, ocean, tireless sun, full and round moon, and numerous stars carved on the fragments were projected around the two people, like garlands that graced the sky, flashing glittering light and gradually forming the outline of the [world].
At this moment, the Spear of Nation-building in Loen's hand turned into a huge palm tree that grew wildly, and its branches and leaves ignited with golden-red flames hundreds of feet high, illuminating the entire sky.
Under the overlapping and interlaced light patterns, the magnificent and elegant heavenly palace appeared in the sea of clouds in the sky, and seven slowly opening doors swallowed up the two figures.
At the same time, the gates of Thessaly were opened, and King Admetus drew his sword and roared.
"charge!"
The magicians and priests took the lead in attacking, casting spells and divine arts like a meteor shower on the battlefield, causing a bloody storm;
The griffins domesticated by the Spartans and the wyverns bred by the Kingdom of Colchis flew out of the city right after them, constantly spitting curse bullets and poisonous saliva onto the ground, disrupting the enemy's formation;
Then, the Thessaly Blood Guards drove bronze chariots, and Amazon warriors rode majestic horses, tearing apart the monsters and giants blocking the city gate like two sharp knives;
Finally, the divine blood heroes from various city-states jumped into the battlefield and slaughtered the giants and monsters who were caught off guard.
Chaos and panic continued to spread during the fierce battle. Some cowardly giants and monsters turned around and fled into the cracks in the ground, trying to avoid the bloody massacre.
However, some of the God-Blood Heroes seemed to be blood-thirsty and chased them relentlessly, even jumping into the cracks.
But if you count carefully, you will find that there are exactly fifty God-Blood Heroes rushing into the crack.
