Chapter 289: Lost Power
Abu radiated his mind like a sensitive tentacle, sensing everything around him.
"The space is stable, the passage of time is slow, and although the various elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are chaotic, they are basically complete, not much different from the ordinary world, this is the legendary Paradise Lost?"
Unlike the imaginary danger, the environment here is unexpectedly calm, and every plant and tree is so real that there is nothing special to see at all.
Kratos didn't see anything special for a while, so he used his magical powers to rise into the air and check in a large area, but found that his body was not moving at all, and there was no sign of divine power at all.
Kratos's heart moved, and he immediately took out the Anan carved artifact and began to summon the power of fate, but the expected phantom of fate did not appear, and even the original golden artifact was as dull as an ordinary object.
Not only is the divine power unable to function, but even the physical quality is greatly weakened, just like a swimming fish out of the water, completely unable to draw strength from the surrounding environment.
To put it simply, Kratos has lost the power of a true god and is like a mortal. Only with his tenacious and unyielding body and ruthless fighting skills can he compete with the hundred enemies of the mortal world.
After knowing this situation, Abu was also very surprised, as the ancestor of ancient humans, in addition to the power of the Styx, his power mainly came from the golden bloodline, even so, he was invisibly imprisoned and was knocked down into an ordinary mortal.
There is no other way but to continue in this legendary paradise lost, find the secrets hidden here, and the way to leave.
Since he can't use the magic of fate, Kratos can't continue to capture Ares's traces, but the relative Ares can no longer sense his whereabouts, which means that now they rely on their means to see who can find the secret of this mysterious realm first.
Kratos' plight of losing his powers and returning to a mortal state did not make Kratos feel the slightest frustration, but gradually immersed himself in this long-lost feeling.
He took off his boots and stepped on the dry and rough earth with his bare feet, feeling everything in the world with his body, a feeling that had never been felt before brewing in the depths of his soul.
Seeing Kratos's actions, Abu was stunned for a while, and then showed a sudden expression, at this time he seemed to see the young and vigorous young man who had been among the Spartan tribes.
At this time, the sky of Paradise Lost is a scene of darkness, and seeing the existence of not a single star, gazing carefully will even produce a feeling of dizziness, as if the mind is about to be swallowed up by endless darkness.
All the vegetation that grows on the earth shows a sickly decay, and it is completely impossible to feel the breath of life, and when you touch it lightly, it disintegrates and collapses like a grain of sand, leaving only ashes all over the ground.
Even the plants are like this, not to mention life, I don't know how long I have been gone, and there is still an endless wasteland as far as the eye can see, and there is not even a trace of the existence of water sources.
There were two rows of footprints of varying shades left on the long wasteland, and Kratos and Abu didn't notice it, and when they walked far away, the footprints on the ground disappeared as if they had never been seen before, as if they had never been there.
As time passed, Kratos and Abu began to have mortal physiological reactions, first exhaustion, then hunger and cold.
When his body could barely support him, Kratos decided to stop and take a break. Unable to draw on the forces of the environment, the body wants to restore the source of life that can only consume life.
Although both of them are beyond the existence of the true gods, and their lifespans are as high as several centuries, if they can't find a way out, they will die in this desperate situation sooner or later.
Sitting upright on the rough earth, Kratos sank his mind into the depths of his soul, his godhead at this time without any brilliance, silently suspended in the darkness, not even the converts and demon gods in the particles did not move, as if they had fallen into some kind of deep sleep.
Paradise Lost exists in time and space, and the various elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are complete, but they cannot be mobilized at all, and they try their best to reject the existence of Kratos, making Kratos like a ghost, standing in the past, looking at the unrealistic future.
At this moment, Kratos suddenly heard a strange movement in his ears, and he hurriedly listened intently, and the movement became clearer and clearer, not far away.
Abu also sensed the movement, and the two of them raised their eyes to look, and immediately saw a dark shadow appear on the horizon, and rushed towards the direction of the two of them at great speed.
Kratos didn't need to react at all, Kratos's body reacted instinctively, although the divine power could not be used, the weapon could be taken out of his mind, and he was seen holding a Spartan war spear, and he took the initiative to pounce in the direction of the black shadow.
I didn't have time to look closely at the appearance of the black shadow, the Spartan spear in my hand had already stretched out in a sprinting posture, only to hear a muffled sound like a defeat, from the tip of the Spartan spear came a huge force that was almost impossible to resist, Kratos's body flew back upside down in mid-air.
Bang!
Kratos slammed to the ground, his feet sinking deep into the dirt by the force of the recoil, and he slid backwards for some distance to unload his strength.
At this time, I heard Abu on the side exclaiming: "This is Taros, how can it appear here!"
What appeared in front of him at this moment was a calf that shimmered with copper luster and seemed to have its entire body cast in bronze. I saw that the head of the calf was slightly lowered, and a pair of collision horns were erected.
Rumble!
The dirt under your feet explodes, and the monster known as Talos unleashes a terrifying explosive power. Seeing the oncoming monster, Kratos could only raise the Spartan spear with all his might, and it was dead against the opponent's bronzed skin.
"Humph......"
Kratos snorted, and the whole person flew out upside down again, and landed on the ground without having time to catch his breath, and quickly rolled to one side, and the place where he fell was immediately crushed by the terrifying strange force, and the dirt flew and left only a deep depression.
At this time, Abu also rushed up, and after dragging Kratos to avoid the ensuing collision, he quickly said: "Talos is an ancient golden age, made by the god of the sky, Ouranos, a monster used to guard the temple, a leather stronger than gold and iron, with endless strange powers. ”
It is stronger than gold and iron, and has endless strange power, which is equivalent to the saying of a god, but what appears in front of him now obviously does not have such strength, otherwise it is just a face, and Kratos will be crushed in an instant.
I heard Abu say: "It is the influence of Paradise Lost, this monster is also greatly restricted here, otherwise I am afraid that it will be able to fight with the true god in its heyday, and in the temple of Ouranos, there are more than one or two such monsters." ”
Kratos's mind was racing, through the two brief encounters just now, he already knew about the strength of Talos, because he was also unable to use the law of supernatural powers, with a brute force equivalent to a hundred enemies in the mortal world, and infinitely close to the strength of a thousand enemy generals.
Kratos' strength is obviously inferior to Taros, even if it is an immortal god body, it is similar to the opponent's bronze body, and the strength comparison is superior.
At this time, Abu had already made a decisive decision: "There is no way to escape the pursuit of Talos on foot on the plains, Kratos, you go first, I will stay where I am and drag it down." ”
Abu stood in front of Kratos and prepared for a fierce fight. He believes that with enough time, Kratos will be able to escape safely within Talos' sensing range.
Abu suddenly felt a heavy force coming from his shoulders, and he turned his head to see Kratos' eyes glint with a belligerent light, staring at Talos without blinking.
"Abu, do you want to eat your prey alone, such a strong calf is enough for the two of us to have a good meal. ”
Abu's face was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, good Kratos, worthy of being the warrior of Sparta, in this case, the two of us will join forces to kill this irrational monster on the spot, and become our hunger!"
As the two spoke, Talos erupted into a violent collision, with Kratos and Abu stepping aside and reaching out at the same time, grabbing the corner of the head on the other.
Kratos only felt a hot tingling pain in his arm, and the tendons were pulled to the limit in an instant, if it weren't for the tenacity of the immortal god body, I am afraid that just this moment the arm would be separated from the body.
Kratos gritted his teeth, grabbed the corner, climbed onto Talos's body with Abu, grabbed the Spartan spear with his backhand, and stabbed Talos in the back of the neck.
Sonorous!
There was a splash of sparks, and the Spartan spear almost came out of its hand, and the place where it stabbed did not even pierce the skin, let alone kill it, except for an insignificant trace.
Abu also returned in vain, his fist landed on Talos's abdomen, and he was almost bounced out of the force of the shock.
Moo!
With the roar of a calf, Talos suddenly stopped his charge, his forelimbs lifted off the ground, and the whole man stood up.
Kratos' pupils contracted violently for a moment, and his feet slammed into Talos's abdomen, and with the help of the force of recoil, the whole person quickly flew upside down, narrowly avoiding the head-on falling hooves.
The kick Kratos just now used all his strength, and even if it was a real solid bronze, it would leave a deep footprint.
But on Talos's body, there was still no sign of damage, and neither physical combat nor weapon attacks could cause substantial damage.
Abu dodged Talos's pursuit in a tumbling position, and said loudly: "Kratos don't give up, attack every part of its body, I don't believe that this monster has no flaws in its body!"
Kratos' expression was calm, and at this moment he seemed to have returned to the time when he was first born into this world, in the primitive, backward tribes, with rudimentary stone weapons in hand, fighting the most ferocious beasts with mortal bodies.
Head, neck, chest, abdomen, lower body, limbs...... Kratos is a sturdy warrior who uses his superb fighting skills to roam around Talos's body dangerously, dodging his opponent's ferocious attacks while constantly stabbing his weapon in various parts of his body.
"Hmph......" Kratos stabbed the Spartan spear into the inner thigh of Talos, but he couldn't dodge the oncoming bull's hooves for a while, and couldn't help but snort and flew out upside down, and when he got up, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of dark red blood spurted out.
"Ahem......" Kratos shook his body to his feet, and tiny particles could be faintly seen in the blood he spurted.
At this time, Kratos's body has completely departed from the realm of mortals, just like a holy weapon that is constantly tempered to perfection, and there are no organs and vital points in the body.
The blood was like a source of strength, and the tiny particles were broken fragments of his body, spurting out the source of strength along with the remains of his body, meaning that his body had been severely injured.
But Kratos didn't have a look of fear until this time, the belligerent flame in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and the wildness hidden in his blood was completely released at this moment.
Kratos lowered his head and looked at the tip of the Spartan spear stained with a trace of foul blood that did not look like a human, and the corners of his mouth raised a hideous smile.
He roared angrily, and the whole person threw himself in front of Talos, bent down suddenly, and slammed into Talos's arms by taking advantage of the gap in his body.
Poof!
The sound of a murder weapon entering the body rang out, and it was clearly heard in the ears of Kratos and Abu.
Hearing this voice, a look of great joy appeared on Abu's face, he knew that it was a critical moment, and he could not give the enemy a chance to breathe, so he jumped up desperately, his arm was dead encircled by the scene of Talos, and one hand grabbed the impact angle above his head, the original decayed and withered body actually swelled at this moment, and a piece of angular muscles emerged, and the powerful physical strength was undoubtedly displayed.
"Okay Abu, I know that your body has a dark disease, and this state cannot be maintained for long, but you only need to help me create this momentary opportunity, and I can kill this ugly monster!"
Kratos roared, seizing the rare opportunity to pour all his power into the spear in his hand and stab it deeper into Taros's body, breaking through more difficult obstacles with each inch.
"Muscle blast!"
Once again, the skill of the mortals was unleashed, and Kratos' forged artifact-like body vibrated hundreds of times in an instant, and an incredible force erupted from every cell of his body.
Poof!
The Spartan spear stabbed deep into Talos's body, and it was not half inside, and a stream of dirty blood that did not belong to a human spurted out from the inside of his thigh, splashing Kratos all over his face.
