Chapter 403 Where is my king's power? (5.5k)
At this moment, Thessaly.
The earth trembled and roared, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and the vast ether seemed to have found its destined destination, flowing madly towards Kronos in the deep pit.
In just a blink of an eye, the Titan God King's battered body was restored to its original state. Not only was the divinity in his body filled up again, it was even rising steadily, constantly breaking through some invisible limitations.
"Haha! I'm back! My power and my destiny are all back!"
Kronos raised his ten arms behind him and laughed heartily towards the sky.
Although he didn't know what was going on, just now, all of his divinity that was suppressed in the hell of Tartarus flowed back into this body, and all the previous restrictions no longer existed.
At this moment, he has returned to the peak!
And now that I have unified my divinity, no one will be able to defeat me except Zeus, who bears the destiny!
“Buzz!”
The strong wind broke through the sky and the stars flickered.
Kronos' eyes narrowed, and the four arms behind him rose up, firmly blocking the dead branch-like spear that was sweeping across in front of him, and then the divine power in his body, which had increased several times, gushed out.
"Bang!"
The space in front of Loen's chest suddenly collapsed, and his body seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer, flying hundreds of meters like a kite with a broken string.
As the golden wings behind him quickly spread out, he was able to steady his body and looked fearfully at Kronos who was standing still.
So strong!
The God King is worthy of being the apex of a pantheon. Whether in terms of power or divinity, he is far beyond the reach of the main god!
Moreover, the contract of destiny is still there. Although Kronos has now regained all his divinity and power, he is still downgraded.
Otherwise, this battle against the giants simply cannot be fought!
With the complete return of divinity, Kronos, whose strength has greatly increased, is no longer afraid of the opponent in front of him. He waved his ten arms at the same time, shattering the power of the [maze] that was blocking the withdrawal of the giants, and snorted coldly at Loen.
"Okay, the game ends here. I will first deal with those little rats that broke into the underground palace, and then I will come back to destroy the entire Thessaly!"
At the same time, the nine Titan gods scattered across the battlefield also shook off their opponents one after another and strode towards Kronos.
Since all the power of the underworld was transferred to the Mountain of War and used to suppress and encircle the Demon Ancestor Typhon, not only were the restrictions on Kronos removed, but the nine Titan gods also received a certain degree of reinforcement.
As one grew stronger, the other weakened. Not only could Lorne and the Olympian gods no longer suppress Kronos and the nine Titans, they were even surpassed by them.
“Whoosh!”
The thrown spear shaped like a dead branch fell in front of Kronos, cutting off his connection with the nine Titan gods.
At the same time, the spear of nation-building rose thousands of feet high after it landed on the ground, and turned into a huge burning palm tree. The endless rising flames around it filled up the cracks in the ground.
After seeing the sky outside the city dyed golden, the priests and ministers from various city-states in the Great Temple of Thessaly became stern, and together they drank the wine from the golden cups, gave up the concert, and offered sacrifices to the common god.
"I call upon the first born, the double-sexed god, the one who walks in the sky,
He emerged from the egg, his wings shining with golden feathers,
You roar like a bull, the origin of the Elysian gods and mortals,
Unforgettable sowing, endless carnival in the world.
Immortal king, eternal spirit.
It is one of the originals, it is the Phanes.
Your name, arise and scatter your enemies! "
Priests from different city-states and different faiths shouted loudly, and their prayers and chants condensed mankind's faith and will into a golden stream of light, converging towards the sky outside the city.
At this moment, twelve incarnations appeared together behind Loen, intertwining and merging into one, like a perfect crown.
The majestic divinity and power enveloped the entire battlefield, once again forcibly separating the ground and underground.
Luo En took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the nine main gods who had gathered around him one after another, and pondered solemnly.
"Everyone, please hold them back for an hour! At any cost!"
Looking at the cheek that was gradually beginning to show cracks under the golden flames, the gods immediately understood the meaning of these words and nodded with gritted teeth.
Now, it's time to fight hard!
——Thunder bow, thunder arrow!
——Universal Library, forbidden chapter!
——The breath of life, tilling the stars!
——You are the quick-shooting silver!
——You are the gold that pierces the stars!
——Sword of the God of War, burning my blood!
…
Nine main gods, including Queen Hera, Goddess of Memory Mnemosyne, Goddess of Agriculture Demeter, Goddess of Hunting Artemis, God of Light Apollo, God of War Ares, etc., all used their strongest spells and martial arts at the same time and rushed towards their original opponents.
Seeing that his way back was blocked again, Kronos roared angrily.
"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish first!"
Then, he exerted his power of domination and led the nine Titans to attack the Olympian gods who were at the end of their strength.
Almost at the same time, the underground maze.
Chiron and Hercules looked at the Gorgon emblem lighting up on their chests, their faces changed drastically, and they immediately shouted at the Argonauts around them.
"One hour! We must break through all obstacles and destroy the Titan Temple within one hour!"
As the saying goes, being prepared is better than being unprepared, and planning more is better than planning less.
Therefore, long before the war broke out, Lorne, as the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, took into account various crisis situations as much as possible and made corresponding arrangements in advance.
Aressan was no match for Typhon, so Athena used that trump card;
All the combat power and authority of the Underworld were withdrawn, and all the pressure was transferred to the Thessaly defense line... These situations were actually within Loen's consideration.
In order to cope with the current crisis and buy as much time as possible for the Argo Expeditionary Force, they had no choice but to bring the incarnation of [One of the Originals] Phanes to the fore.
But this state would put a severe strain on his body, and theoretically he could only sustain it for an hour at most.
Therefore, this one hour was also the final deadline he gave to the Argo Expeditionary Force.
If the time limit is exceeded and the Argo Expedition has not completed the mission, it will be a disguised proof that the plan to raid the Titan Temple has completely failed.
Next, Kronos and his army of giants will be invincible without any restrictions.
There would be no point in continuing to hold the Thessaly Line.
Therefore, Loen's next choice was to abandon the Argo expeditionary force and Thessaly, and lead all the remaining troops to retreat to Athens.
If possible, as the commander, he would try his best to divert the trouble to others, let Kronos lead the giants to climb Mount Thessaly, and then turn to Olympus to fight with Zeus, the king of gods who wanted to reap the benefits.
However, since Zeus was blessed by Destiny, and Kronos and Zeus had flirted before the war, Loen himself was not sure about the final success rate of this plan.
Therefore, he would not lead the gods and humans to withdraw from the battlefield of Thessaly until the last moment.
Whether the entire war situation can be reversed depends on whether the Argonauts can complete their mission within the last hour and destroy the Titan Temple, which serves as the throne of Kronos.
One hour?
The remaining twenty or so Argonauts gritted their teeth, and swam upstream among the endless stream of monsters and giants, desperately advancing towards the Titan Temple deep underground.
However, the transfer of power from the underworld not only enhanced the divinity of Kronos and the nine Titan gods on earth, but also strengthened the giants and monsters underground because of the increased power of the Titan Temple.
Therefore, the Argo expeditionary force spent a full twenty minutes and only advanced less than a quarter of the distance towards its destination.
What's worse is that, slowed down by the monsters around them, several high-level giants originally stationed in the space maze have now broken through the obstacles created by Prometheus' death and are rapidly approaching the expeditionary force.
"God's emblem, sacrificed with blood!"
The two giants emitting a strong divinity smeared the golden-red divine blood on the golden daggers in their hands, chanting as they swung them forward.
In an instant, the Titan Temple in the abyss seemed to be awakened, the ether in the air gathered wildly, dull roars exploded in a series, and the ten divine emblems hanging above the temple were like open eyes, emitting scarlet spiral beams of light.
Under the chaotic arcs of light, the steps along the way were lifted up layer by layer, the sand and stones were crushed into powder, and the ground was plowed into grooves.
The seven Argonauts were caught off guard and hit head-on. They didn't even have time to scream before they exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"The King's assistant—Porphyrion!"
"Athos, the Mountain Shaker!"
Medea's pupils shrank and she called out the real names of the two giants.
These are the other two high-level giants who stayed in the underground maze according to the records in the [Library].
Moreover, one of them was once the second-in-command of the Guigantes clan who assisted the giant king Alcyoneus.
Seeing the two high-level giants raising their golden daggers again and mobilizing the power of the Titan Temple, the Argonauts were horrified.
"Come closer!"
The Spartan twins roared and rushed forward, each holding a sword horizontally, slashing their palms, and using the blood as a guide, they roared out divine prayers.
"Blood of Zeus!"
"The pride of the fourth place!"
Under the rhythm of divine power, blood and energy dissipated into mist, seeping into the bodies of the Argonauts behind him in strands, instantly causing their muscles to temporarily swell and their divinity to increase synchronously.
Sparta has always been famous for its military formations, and the two princes are the orthodox sons of Zeus. As they exerted all their strength to activate their own divinity, the light patterns that spread behind them also briefly merged the strength and will of the Argonauts.
The next moment, golden light and blood light collided.
"boom!"
A violent explosion ensued, and a shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out. Large sections of corridors and stone walls collapsed, and radioactive cracks stretched for dozens of miles.
As the aftermath of the shock dissipated, hundreds of monsters and giants with shattered bones were miserably reduced to scarlet paint on the stone walls and steps, and the strong smell of blood wafted into the air.
But at the same time, the Spartan twins, who forcibly integrated the power of the Argo heroes, also turned pale and vomited golden blood mixed with organ fragments. The golden Gemini armor from the Ares Mountain on their bodies was also covered with cracks.
Fortunately, the protective gear they were wearing were artifacts carefully crafted by the god of craftsman Hephaestus, and the Argonauts behind them also shared a lot of the impact for them.
Otherwise, the brothers' fate would probably be no different from the meat paste on the ground.
But even so, several surrounding passages were collapsed by the previous attack, and more and more climbing sounds came from all directions.
No, if we keep wasting time like this, the expeditionary force will not be able to reach the Titan Temple within an hour!
Looking at the monsters and giants that kept pouring in from behind, as well as the injured Argonauts around him, Chiron's heart was filled with gloom. He turned to look at the God of Medicine on the side and asked hurriedly.
"Asclepius, is there anything I can do?"
"Use this! It can increase your magic power three to five times in a quarter of an hour!"
The God of Medicine answered solemnly and decisively took out several bottles of purple-red potion from his bag.
It is a byproduct of an elixir of immortality, made from Gorgon blood and golden apples. It can greatly enhance the divinity of the user in a short period of time, but the disadvantage is that once the time is up, the user will fall into a state of extreme weakness, and in severe cases, may even die directly.
And in this underground maze filled with monsters and giants, drinking this stuff is no different from indirectly seeking death.
Moreover, due to limited time and precious materials, he only managed to make six before setting off.
Chiron glanced at the six potions and spoke solemnly.
"Send out six people to stop the pursuers behind us!"
"Hey, this new thing I've never had before? Let me try it!"
Katniss took a quick step forward, snatched a bottle from the God of Medicine without saying a word, crushed the bottle cap directly, and poured the potion with an ominous smell into her mouth.
Even after she finished drinking, she did not forget to make some comments.
"This taste is strong enough!"
"Really? Let me try too!"
Atalanta took the opportunity to squeeze over, snatched the other one from the god of medicine, and drank the potion in the same way.
Without waiting for the other Argonauts to react, the injured Spartan twins stepped forward side by side in tacit understanding and each grabbed one.
They had sustained serious internal injuries, and even if they forced themselves to follow the team, they would only become a burden.
Instead of this, it would be better to take these two potions to unleash potential and stay here.
“I want one too!”
A beautiful figure rushed forward and took the fifth potion from the God of Medicine.
The Spartan twins looked at the beautiful and childish face in front of them and subconsciously raised their hands to stop it.
"Helen, you..."
However, before they could snatch the potion back, the Spartan princess quickly swallowed the potion and spoke solemnly.
"I'm here, and I can use my magic to help you last longer!"
Seeing that the matter was done, the Spartan twins smiled bitterly.
"Father and mother will definitely scold us to death now."
"It's okay, sister will coax them."
Helen blinked and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.
"As for my two brothers, you have protected me for so long, you should let me protect you once."
The Spartan twins felt warm in their hearts and looked at their sister who seemed to have grown up with relief.
At this moment, seeing that the magic potion taken out by the God of Medicine was about to be divided up, Hercules spoke immediately.
"Give me the last one!"
However, before he could step forward, a white and slender hand took the last potion and poured it into its mouth.
"You can't, I'll stay!"
Chiron threw down the empty pottery vase in his hand, then glanced at Hercules who was unwilling to give up behind him, and reminded him in a deep voice.
"It is not your responsibility to cover the retreat. Your mission is to lead the expeditionary force to break through the Titan Temple! Take them away immediately!"
"Can……"
"Let's go! Don't waste the time we've gained!"
Chiron roared, and used his surging divine power to cut off the stone steps behind him. He took the Spartan twins, Helen, Atalanta, Katniss and other five people and resolutely faced the two high-level giants who rushed out of the ruins and the thousands of monsters behind them.
Then, Chiron and Atalanta leaped between the falling stone pillars, running as fast as the wind and shooting as hard as thunder. Arrows infused with divine power broke through the air and pierced through the divine cores of the monsters and giants that were rushing in from all directions.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of corpses were piled up at the intersection below, and the pursuing monsters and giants were temporarily blocked.
As the two high-level giants roared and went to the battlefield, they relied on their savage bodies to withstand the damage of the rain of arrows and rushed to the front. The Spartan twins and Katniss raised their swords, shields and spears and decisively went forward.
As the spellcaster, Helen stood at the back, chanting high-speed divine words and continuously blessing her five teammates.
Hearing the dense roars behind him, Hercules gritted his teeth, turned around, and charged forward using himself as a spike.
The remaining dozen or so Argonauts forced themselves not to look back, raised their shields and spears to form a military formation, followed Hercules, further tore through the obstacles ahead, and quickened their march.
The heroes who can pass the selection and join the expeditionary force are naturally not fools, and they understand the meaning of taking this magic potion.
But there are some things that someone has to do.
At this time, the torch named "Prometheus" has burned out. From now on, they can only use their bodies as firewood to illuminate their own way!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Everyone roared and rushed forward. The wave formed by thousands of monsters and giants seemed to be split in the center by an invisible giant hand.
The Argonauts, with their support points, allowed the monsters to charge savagely again and again, and were like ships riding the wind and waves, rapidly shortening the distance between their team and the Titan Temple.
After passing through a long and narrow corridor, the scarlet light band emitted by the underground temple has become faintly visible.
But at the same time, a ferocious and towering figure smashed the stone wall on one side and rushed towards the Argo Expeditionary Force with a roar.
Before he got close, he raised his head and sprayed several balls of dark green venom forward.
The snake-footed giant - Pelorus!
"Bang!"
A ceramic bottle was thrown towards him and shattered on the stone wall. The green magic potion that overflowed from it quickly evaporated, slowing down the rapidly spreading poisonous fog.
"You go first, I'll leave him to me."
The God of Medicine stopped in front of the narrow passage and waved to his teammates behind him.
Hercules stopped and looked at the doctor in the team in surprise.
"you?"
"Don't worry, I saved a few potions for myself."
The God of Medicine answered calmly and walked straight towards the snake-footed giant Polorus.
Looking at the figure moving further and further away, Hercules gritted his teeth, forced himself to turn his head, and continued to move forward with the remaining team.
At this moment, the snake-footed giant who rushed into the narrow passage looked at the lonely divine-blood hero in front of him and sneered with disdain.
"A potion that stimulates divinity? Are you planning to make your meat even more delicious?"
"In theory, yes..."
The God of Medicine replied calmly, and with his right hand he slowly took out several potions from his bag and poured them into his mouth one by one.
However, as he swallowed one potion after another, the snake-legged giant looked at the God of Medicine's skin that was beginning to crack, and the red and black light patterns surging in his flesh and blood, and suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
No! This is not a magic potion to inspire divinity.
But...
At this moment, the doctor in the narrow passage grinned with delight and asked a question curiously.
"So, among Hydra's, Gorgon's and your venom, which one is stronger? How powerful is the combination of the three? Remember to tell me your experience later..."
The snake-footed giant saw the enclosed environment and suddenly realized it belatedly. He retreated with a crazy scream:
"Get out! Get out!"
But at this moment, the God of Medicine had already drunk the last pottery bottle in his hand, his skin was a mixture of purple, red and black, and his divine power was surging in his body.
Phew!
Then the light patterns on the doctor's body exploded, and his body exploded with a bang. The purple-red blood rain all over the sky sprinkled on the snake-legged giant, immediately producing an effect similar to that of spraying plants with sulfuric acid.
In just a moment, the giant who was good at using poisonous snake feet was rotten all over, and turned into a pool of thick water amidst his miserable howls.
For doctors, poison is also an antidote, and killing and saving are just a thought away.
If it can save innocent lives, then the poison in his hands can also be a good remedy for curing diseases.
