Chapter 45: The War of the Gods (41) On the eve of the Great War

The dark sky shrouded low over the castle of night, and the guards guarding the gate dutifully stood on the lookout, looking into the distance, with indescribable emotions suppressed in their hearts, as if they had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

The colleague who came to take over the post jokingly lowered his chest: "Which girl are you thinking about?" The guard's mind was just awakened, and he grinned dryly, "No, no! I just have bad feelings, but I can't tell why!" Just as his colleague opened his mouth to make fun of him, he heard the sound of the swishing wind in his ears, and he didn't know what was happening, but because he had a thought of avoiding it, he leaned over and rolled to the side, and when he looked up again, the guard who had just spoken to him was still standing there motionless, but a smell of burnt paste came from him. Knowing that there was an invasion of foreign thieves, he acted quickly, snatched the torch from the city wall, and immediately lit the oil lock for the message. In an instant, the tongue of fire flew like a light oil chain, reaching the palace in the city. For a while, the whole city was vigilant, and the guards and generals rushed out to prepare for battle, and there was a lot of noise.

But I saw that a bat spitting red flames flew in the air under black pressure, and a beam of balls was projected into the city, igniting a sea of fire. The man at the head was suspended in mid-air with his feet off the ground, and smiled arrogantly, "Hera~~ Where are you hiding?" ……”

There was no time for the maid to serve, and Hera, the queen of heaven, dressed herself, "Iris, bring the Divine Crystal!" ”

How could Iris, who has served the Queen of Heaven all the year round, not understand the intention of the Queen of Heaven, the Divine Crystal - after the defeat of the god king Ouranos, the remnants of the essence that remained when the body turned into the sky. Shaped like a crystal, about the size of an adult's palm, it glows naturally with a blue-purple color. If ordinary humans get it, they can suddenly gain divine power, calling the wind and rain like a demigod.

"The Divine Crystal can indeed greatly increase the user's ability in a short period of time, but the Divine Crystal will also eat the user's Divine Element, and you ...... the Queen of Heaven" Iris's face was full of anxiety.

"Of course I do!" Hera's already cold face became even more haggard, "Aerys, can't you see the current situation clearly?" ”

Hera stroked Aerys's shoulder, her tone softened, mixed with a little sadness, Aerys was in a trance, she seemed to catch a tear in the cold eyes of the queen of heaven that had never appeared in her eyes.

"Aerys, is there anything else I can do?" Hera gazed softly at her.

Aerys was fearless in his heart, bit his lip, swallowed the words he still wanted to persuade, and bowed his head to "Okay, diva!" I'm going to get it! ”

In the short time she waited, Hera looked at the sky like an old man in the twilight, and scenes from the past echoed in her mind like a movie, her proud life, her love, her jealousy, her resentment, and before long, whether it would all melt into a bubble and disappear.

Aerys retrieved the crystal and offered it in front of the queen of heaven, Hera took it and held it in the palm of her hand, "There is one more thing, I want to ask you!" ”

Come on? Aerys was a little surprised, when did the noble and arrogant diva also learn the politeness of humans? Since being sent back by Meng Xinyao and them, the temperament of the queen seems to have changed a lot.

"In this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again!" The queen sighed, sad, and Iris's emotions were also infected by her, and tears couldn't help but welling up in her eyes. "So, I hope that you can hand over my scepter to Meng Xinyao for me after I am unfortunately in trouble."

"The human girl?" Aerys was puzzled, what did the high diva like about the human girl?

"Yes! I have a hunch that this terrible war will one day be ended by those children. With that, the queen of heaven took the scepter in her hand and walked away.

Aerys entered the state of preparation and followed, but they didn't see that at the end of the corridor, a dark face slightly hooked the corners of his mouth......
