Chapter 683: Fire God
The god of fire is not called a god of fire because he has a strong ability to control fire. There are many gods who can play with fire www.biquge.info, and the reason why he has this title is more because he likes to be active near volcanoes and skillfully uses powerful flames to forge various artifacts.
Vulcan's true strength lies in his forging ability.
It is also because of the forging of many powerful god costumes that this gives the God of Fire the opportunity to become one of the twelve main gods.
Blacksmiths' bodies are very strong, and the god of fire is no exception. Strong muscles are the hallmark of blacksmiths, especially their arms.
It's just that although the god of fire is the son of Zeus, he has an ugly appearance and does not look like a biological one at all. Naturally, it is also very unpopular. If it weren't for the ingenuity and many god costumes forged for the gods, there would definitely not be a place for him among the twelve main gods of Olympus.
The Vulcan was very cautious in his disposition, and when choosing his place to sleep, he found a very hidden place, under a volcano. If it weren't for the help of the acting god-king Athena, it would not have been easy for Promise to find him.
Promise descended through a hole in the bottom of the lake and soon came to a wider space than the previous meadow. This time there is no green, but a completely fiery red.
It looks more like it's right out of the middle of a volcano, surrounded by dark red rock walls and rivers of deadly lava flowing between them.
The churning magma bubbles burst open, releasing large amounts of toxic gases and scorching temperatures.
The air was filled with a terrifying heat, and the space looked like hell.
"This is really the god of fire." Promising to use the Aerial Dance Technique to fly in the air, looking at the scene around him that looked like the abyss of hell, he understood why there was such a green space before.
That should be a place dedicated to Pandora. After all, if Pandora had been allowed to live in this hellish scene in front of her, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.
As for why Vulcan likes volcanoes, the reason is very simple. In the era of no super technology, the various ores in the volcano and the extremely high temperature are the best places to forge them. There are a lot of heavy metals in the lava. It's also a career-related choice.
Xu Promise once again put away the clothes he was wearing, after all, he really couldn't wear the linen clothes of this era.
Looking around, in this place full of churning poisonous gases and water vapor, it took Promise several minutes to finally find his goal.
It was a shrine located at the top of a steep rock wall hundreds of meters high. The red-and-white paint and typical Greek temple shape could only have belonged to the god of fire in this place.
Without the slightest hesitation, the promise flew directly over.
The appearance of the Fire God Temple was not ostentatious at all, and it was far from being comparable to the overflowing divine power of the Sea God Temple. The temple, however, was so large that it was the size of a football field, at least from the promised point of view.
In the same way as in the Sea Temple, the outside of the Fire Temple is also covered with a faint energy light curtain. It is a shield constructed by the gods with their own divine powers, which can protect their bodies and provide warnings in the event of foreign invasions.
Xu Xu, who had already had experience in the Sea God Temple before, stepped forward to the light curtain, stretched out his hand and slowly pressed it on the light curtain.
The most effective way to deal with this protective layer made of divine power is to directly use energy for fusion. The strength of the promise, the strength of the Vulcan God far inferior to the Sea God, made this protective layer be destroyed in a very short time.
"It seems that this Vulcan is not very strong." Although he said this, the promise that he was actually stepping into the temple did not relax in the slightest.
No matter what kind of opponent he is about to face, he can't afford to let up in the slightest.
People who are still careless when facing opponents on the battlefield are basically already hanging. All these people left behind were negative lessons.
The temple of the god of fire is very large, and all of it is supported by huge stone pillars. The floor was smooth marble, and the floor was so clean that he promised to be able to see his own shadow even from the smooth ground.
The space inside the temple was very large, but there was nothing inside except for a huge statue of the god of fire in the middle of the temple.
"Where is the god of fire?" Promise circled around the temple and found no trace of the god of fire himself, no place of sleep like a crystal coffin, and no huge golden coffin wrapped in gold. In this empty temple, he couldn't find the place where the fire god himself was.
There was nothing in the entire temple except for the tall statue of the god. Some of them are just stout stone pillars.
Wait, idol?!
As if suddenly he had come to his senses, he turned around and stared at the huge statue in the middle of the temple.
Although the gods of Olympus appeared in the human world in a form that was not much different from humans. That is, the body is more handsome and the appearance is more beautiful.
However, the essence of these gods is not human, their ontological bloodline is essentially derived from the Titans with terrifying bodies!
Even if the bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation and has led to continuous degradation, it is still a level far beyond normal people when it comes to the fire god. It's like the Poseidon deity you saw in the Poseidon Temple before. They are actually giants in their blood.
The huge statue of the god of fire in front of him is seven or eight meters high, the shape is very tough, the lines are resolute, and it is very in line with the aesthetics of this era.
Sure enough, when he promised to pass a trace of energy into the idol for temptation, he met a strong counterattack.
"Hey~~~" Xu Promise hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, "Are you quite bearable?" ”
As if it felt like it couldn't be hidden, the huge statue of the god of fire finally moved.
With the sound of stones peeling and falling, layers of stones peeled off the idol one after another and fell on the smooth marble floor.
After most of the stones were stripped away, a burly body appeared in front of Promise.
Promise had always thought that the slumber of the gods was just sleeping in something like a coffin. I don't know what the other gods are, but at least the Vulcan has turned his body into a stone statue. This kind of thing is very interesting for Promise.
"You're hiding a lot of depth." looked at the Vulcan in front of him, who had an ugly face, but had an extremely strong tendon and flesh, and was tall and looked not much smaller than the sea god. The voice of the promise was full of ridicule.
"You're finally here." However, to the bewilderment of Promise, Vulcan's reaction was very strange. While his eyes looked at the promise, he slowly said the words as if they were meeting old friends.
"Have you seen me?" Xu Promise raised his hand in surprise and pointed at himself.
He really didn't expect that the Vulcan would actually know him, and he was originally thinking about his superficial identity, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
"You are a powerful warrior from the Eastern world, Promise." The face of the god of fire can indeed be described as ugly, completely sorry for the Olympian god blood on his body.
You must know that almost all the gods in the entire Olympus god system are handsome men and beautiful women. And the god of fire is the son of Zeus and Hera, two brothers and sisters like golden boys and girls. (The confusion of the Greek god system is incomprehensible to modern people.) )
"I used to see you hundreds of years ago when I was in Troy." The Vulcan's huge eyes were firmly on the promise, "I have seen with my own eyes that you alone have prevented the gods from destroying Troy. I'm very impressed by a powerful human warrior like you. ”
"I see." Xu Promise raised his hands and began to pinch his fingers, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "Then do you know what I came here to find you for?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you're here to absorb my divine powers." Vulcan's words really moved the promise.
“...... You're not a god of fire, are you? Xu Promise had a suspicious expression: "Are you possessed by the goddess of wisdom?" Isn't the legendary Vulcan a simple-minded fool? Do you know this? ”
"When I was in Troy, I saw you absorb the godhead of Apollo. Naturally, you know that you have the terrifying ability to absorb the divine power of the gods. This is also the reason why Zeus is so jealous of you and declares that he will go crazy to encircle and hunt you down. Because you have touched the bottom line of the gods. Vulcan said this in a calm tone.
"And." After a pause, the fire god then explained, "In addition to the divine power of the sun god, there are also very strong fluctuations in the divine power of the sea god in your body. If I'm not mistaken, the arrogant sea god has been dealt with by you. ”
'Pap~Papa~Pap~' promised to applaud vigorously, with a sincere smile on his face, "It's so wonderful." This analytical ability should make you a god of wisdom. ”
However, in just a moment's effort, the promise had already changed his face. From a smile to a cold face, "But no matter how smart you are, it's useless." Now that I've found you, you should know what will happen next, right? ”
"You want my divine powers." The Vulcan slowly straightened up, looked at the promise with blazing eyes, "I can give it to you." ”
The promise of "......" paused again, how could this legendary foolish god of fire behave so strongly, even more Athena than Athena. I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Still." The Vulcan slowly took out a huge hammer from behind him, "Although I have long been tired of being a god. It is possible to give you divine power and then live as an ordinary person. However, the dignity of being a god made it necessary for me to lose the battle to defend my dignity before I could do so! ”
