Chapter 441: Beast, damn beast!
Looking at the rebel gods rushing towards him one by one, Zeus on the throne sneered and waved his arms forward:
"Want to stop me? It's too late!"
In an instant, the red and black "Hole in the Sky" that seemed to tear the world apart appeared above Olympus, and like a red and black mud flow of boiling asphalt, it poured down towards the Great Temple, forming a dark sky curtain that protected Zeus behind it.
not good!
Seeing this, the four gods, Rhoen, Athena, Hades and Poseidon, thought to themselves that something was wrong, and immediately increased their speed to the extreme, and attacked the protective wall made of black mud at the same time.
For a moment, runes were flying, spears were breaking through the air, death energy was raging, and the waves were surging!
Puff puff puff!
However, the attack of the four gods, which was powerful enough to move mountains and fill the sea, crashed into the barrier formed by black mud like a drop in the ocean. The divine power that was released could only create some tiny ripples in it before being completely consumed.
"Crown of Spiritual Thought, Library of All Things!"
"The gun of victory will wipe out the powerful enemy!"
"Mark of death, announcement of demise!"
"Divine Protection of the Sea, Raging Waves!"
Upon seeing this, the four gods immediately mobilized their own powers and launched an all-out attack.
Bang bang bang bang!
Suddenly, under the more violent tide of divine power and the more powerful divine authority, the curtain wall in the hall, which was made of red and black mud flows, was forcibly pierced through.
The king of gods Zeus, who was hiding behind the barrier, was once again exposed to everyone.
However, at this moment, the figure nailed to the throne had resisted the erosion of the magic potion and the strange divine power with the nourishment of the spirituality of all things, and pulled out the dead branch-like spear that was wailing dully from his chest and threw it forward with his backhand.
Before the spear arrived, the divine power it aroused along the way caused the space to form layers of distortions.
Loen did not dare to be careless. He slightly turned sideways to avoid the sharp attack from the front. He tightly grasped the gun with both hands and used all his strength to try to eliminate the violent power in it.
Behind him are Persephone, Melinoe, and Metis.
So he couldn't dodge and could only take it head-on.
“Boom!”
Silver-colored thunder exploded in the temple. Even though Loen had made sufficient preparations, he was still shocked by the extremely overbearing power of the gun and retreated again and again.
It was not until Athena, Hades and Poseidon jointly mobilized their power that the intertwined three-color divine halo was able to intercept the retreating Ron.
"Not bad. You have indeed made a lot of progress in the past three hundred years."
Zeus nodded in praise, then a mocking sneer spread across his face.
"But it is far from enough to challenge my divine power with just this little capital!"
The four gods did not refute, and their faces were covered with gloom.
Indeed, the four of them are already the first-tier combat force of War God Mountain.
One controls the ocean, one controls the underworld, one builds order on earth, and the last one is the son of destiny who is prophesied to replace Zeus.
The four parties joined forces to barely block the attack of the God King, and it seemed that the opponent had not yet exerted his full strength.
If it weren't for the previous initiative, they couldn't imagine how powerful Zeus would be after he swallowed the three goddesses of fate.
As he spoke, Zeus spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and the red and black mud in the Hole in the Sky flowed into his palm, gathering into an ever-changing black cube.
It turned out to be the magic box that had been detonated before!
Looking at the black cube in Zeus's hand that was as docile as a hound, Pandora, who was facing a minotaur, could not help but murmur in astonishment:
“How could it be…”
"Don't you understand? The owner of this thing has never been you, but me!"
Zeus glanced at his subordinate and revealed the answer with a sneer.
Back then, in order to curb the development of the human race, he gathered all the gods to forge a "magic box" and asked each god to inject his own divine power and authority into it.
Athena gave her wisdom, then Hephaestus, the god of craftsman, gave her gorgeous robes, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with the power of charm and temptation, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the skill of language... Almost all the gods participated in this creation.
Thus, "Pandora" with all talents was born and sent to the human world to guide the development of human civilization.
But in fact, this is the tool that Zeus carefully prepared to cleanse the earth and complete the unification of divinity.
With the repeated destruction of civilizations on earth and the continuous absorption of the evil desires and spirituality of all things, the Pandora's box has basically matured and will naturally return to its rightful owner. It no longer needs Pandora, a humanoid external device, to operate it.
To put it bluntly, the blame has been borne, and the white gloves that are no longer useful will eventually be discarded.
Even if there had been no rebellion, Pandora's fate would have been self-evident.
Realizing that she had been a tragedy from the beginning to the end, the witch who had been spurned and cursed for thousands of years was completely broken, and she angrily accused her unscrupulous boss who did not do anything:
"Beast! Damn beast!"
But having done so many evil things in secret, Zeus had long been immune to such harmless insults. He just kept absorbing the spirituality of all things collected in the magic box to repair himself.
Sensing the rising divinity and power within Zeus, Loen was shocked and shouted a warning:
“Stop him!”
Athena, Poseidon and Hades gritted their teeth upon hearing this and charged towards Zeus again at the same time.
Originally, they just wanted to delay time, hoping that the separation potion could separate the three goddesses of fate from Zeus' body and further weaken the power of His Majesty the God King.
However, the power of destiny of the three goddesses of fate seemed to have been completely integrated with Zeus and could not be shaken at all.
Moreover, this thoughtful God King also had a hidden trick up his sleeve. At the critical moment, he revealed the trump card of the magic box, and used the spirituality of all things accumulated in it for several ages to heal and upgrade himself.
If this continues, the situation will become increasingly worse and they must take action in advance.
All of a sudden, spears swept across, shields swung, forks and tridents flew up and down, and the four gods in the hall attacked Zeus in front of the throne with all their might.
The liberated Queen of the Underworld Persephone, the goddess of conspiracy Melinoe, and the primordial goddess of wisdom Metis gradually came to their senses. After recognizing the situation, they decisively cooperated with the witch Pandora who had turned against Zeus, and together they launched spells against Zeus from the periphery and provided protection for their friendly forces.
Faced with the joint attack from multiple parties, Zeus absorbed the spirituality of all things in the magic box while dividing his mind to deal with the attack.
The black mud is the armor and the lightning is the sword, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
Although they were unable to harm the Olympian King of Gods for a while, Zeus's energy consumption increased sharply, and the wounds pierced by the gods-killing weapons could never be perfectly healed.
Soon, the magic box in his hand dimmed, and the spiritual power flowing into his body also weakened.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Zeus showed displeasure, and after forcefully shaking off the eight gods who were entangled with him, he cast a gloomy gaze towards the underworld.
"For the sake of my divine cause, use your flesh and blood to lay the foundation!"
Then, the God King who held the destiny in his hands clenched the magic box in his hand, and the dark [Hole in the Sky] above his head suddenly expanded and turned into a black sun that covered the whole of Greece.
The red and black mud flow, burning like magma, poured down along the edge of the black sun, pouring on the ocean, pouring on the earth, pouring on the mountains, pouring on the city...
Sizzle!
Any life that was doused in the black mud, whether it was plants, animals, gods and monsters, or humans, was almost instantly melted and decomposed, merging into the black mud.
Even the protective barriers erected by various city-states were constantly eroded by the black mud, growing red and black mycelium-like lines and gradually decaying and dissolving.
The pervasive black mud seeped into the city and transformed into clay dolls that spread disaster and death, ruthlessly reaping lives and collecting the spirituality of all things for the God-King who sat high among the stars to perfect his divine work.
"Please, don't, I have children and elderly people!"
"What the hell? Get away! Get away! Ah..."
"Bastards, I'm going to fight you!"
For a time, the whole of Greece was shrouded in terror, and all the humans in the city became the targets of these clay dolls. The mortals' pleas, curses, and resistance were useless.
The tiny figures with nowhere to escape were dragged into the surging black mud, and their bodies and souls decomposed into pure spirit particles, becoming the cornerstone for forging a perfect divine career.
Screams and wails echoed in every city-state. Whether it was Corinth, Thebes, Mycenae, Sparta, Thessaly or Arcadia, all of them were collapsing step by step in panic and chaos.
Meanwhile, Athens.
As the former leader of Greece and the center of order, it has a large population and therefore attracts more black mud.
The densely packed clay dolls almost covered the entire ground, and the magic beams shooting out from their hands tore through the barrier of faith that had been accumulated in the Acropolis of Athens over the past hundred years, layer by layer, like peeling an onion.
In a short while, the entire city-state was shaking continuously, and was exposed to the twisted clay dolls without any cover.
In desperate situations, expressions of fear, determination, or courage appear on different faces.
In times of crisis, their choices were different.
Some used the strong to support the weak and maintain order, while others retreated in panic and fled;
Some people raised their weapons and faced death, while others hid in corners and tried to survive.
Some people embraced their relatives and friends, cherishing their last moments, while others tightly held onto their property and seals, wanting to hold on to money and power until their death...
The largest number of them were those gathering towards the Great Temple of the God of War Mountain.
It is the pride of the Athenians and a holy place for all Greeks.
The spark of civilization was passed on here, and a prosperous order was established here.
Under the guidance of the shepherd, they controlled the power of the gods, defeated the invasion of the giants, and allowed the human race to stand tall on the earth.
When his flocks were poisoned, it seemed all they could appeal to were the vanished gods.
But the disaster came too quickly. Before mortals could even climb up the War God Mountain, the black mud pouring down from the sky had already melted through the outer protective wall. One after another, hideous and twisted clay dolls swarmed towards the ants who were trying to survive.
Just as the petitioners fell into despair, a strong rhythm came from the top of the Ares Mountain. The boiling ether tide tore apart the spreading black tide, and stars rose from the darkness.
At the same time, a cold goddess wearing a white long dress, a veil over her eyes, and holding a gorgeous sword, walked out from the starlight.
The white fingertips turned the golden scales on both sides of the hilt, and the red lips solemnly chanted the majestic command:
“What I respect is only the eternal starry sky and the morality in my heart; what I practice is only fair justice and just judgment - chaos has arrived, and order should be restored here!”
In an instant, the black tide on the ground was like hitting a reef, and its spreading momentum was forcibly curbed.
The twisted clay dolls were unwilling to retreat, and they rushed towards the flock of sheep under the protection of the starlight with crazy roars:
"immortal!"
"immortal!"
"immortal!"
The king's divine cause will eventually be immortal, and these ants who are designated as the cornerstone have no power to refuse or resist!
Looking down at the black beasts rampaging on the ground, the goddess of justice pulled off the veil covering her eyes and coldly drew the sword of judgment from her sheath:
"Your good deeds are light, but your sins are heavy! Your punishment is light, but your evil deeds are heavy! Now is the moment of judgment. I sentence you to death!"
If you want to practice justice and help the weak with the strong, relying solely on weak preaching is doomed to failure.
Everything should be weighed on the scales and revealed by the sword!
Themis swung the sword in her hand, and the sinful clay dolls on the ground seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer of judgment. They exploded one after another and turned into pools of coal ash-like debris, losing all their vitality.
Yes, I am saved...
The lambs that survived the disaster collapsed on the ground, crying for joy.
But looking at the still expanding black hole in the sky and the red and black mud that kept pouring down, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of grief for the other party.
The divine punishment of world destruction has begun, and all of Greece has fallen into dire straits.
Even if Athens could temporarily survive this catastrophe, how long could it survive?
It's probably hell outside.
Just as the living on the field were immersed in the sad atmosphere, 88 bright beams of light broke through the sanctuary and shot from the God of War Mountain towards the dark [Hole in the Sky].
Buzz buzz buzz!
The ancient star maps were lit up one by one, intertwining and rotating with each other, forming a vast and desolate star cluster, and finally spreading the brilliant light of the stars to the entire sky of the Greek world.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Beams of dazzling starlight were like sharp swords piercing through the sky, mercilessly cutting through the black tide spreading across the sky and forcing it back into the [Hole in the Sky] inch by inch.
The black tide, eager to collect spirituality for the divine cause, naturally refused to give up. Groups of red and black mud flow broke through the blockade of starlight and fell into the ocean, earth, mountains, and human city-states, like a red and black meteor shower.
The clay dolls that emerged from it frantically hunted and assimilated all the living things around them, continuing the mission they were given.
Themis pointed the sword forward and shouted coldly:
"Eliminate all evil and wipe out the remaining enemies!"
In an instant, the stars above the Ares Mountain fell one after another to all parts of Greece. Dozens of Saints wearing holy robes, bathed in the golden, silver and blue light, led the neatly arrayed Pegasus Knights and rushed towards the area where the black tide was spreading.
Behind them were the descendants of Typhon led by the Snake Mother, the remnants of the Titans led by Prometheus, the three Graces, and the nine Muses...
These naturally powerful species, these gods that were once relied upon and worshipped, rushed to the most dangerous battlefield without hesitation.
Figures carrying the starlight on their backs stand tall above the earth, constantly compressing the activity area of the doomsday black tide and taking back the world that originally belonged to all living things.
Even though the world is in tatters, there are always people who mend it.
