Chapter 589: A Deal
Xu Jing couldn't sense how strong Gaia's strength was, but he understood one thing, the gods of the Olympian god system were destined to perish, this was the current trend of the world, and no one could stop it.
And those who occupy the general trend will be blessed by heaven and earth, and those who oppose the general trend will be rejected by heaven and earth.
So in this case, even if it was Gaia in front of him, he was not afraid, and it was also worth mentioning that the aura on the other party's body was very peaceful, and there was never the slightest murderous intent.
Xu Jing was a little eager to try in his heart, wanting to see the strength of Mother Earth, and as he took action, he took a step forward, and in an instant, the wind surged, and the whole world changed color.
Bang~!
Countless dark energies were like huge waves, slapping fiercely towards the opposite side.
And Gaia is like a lonely boat in the vast sea, drifting helplessly in the storm.
"You're mistaken, kid."
Seeing the dark wave crashing in front of her, she suddenly took a step back, and the ground in front of her suddenly rose, stretched out an even larger stone palm, squeezed the huge wave lightly in her hand, and gently rubbed it, causing it to collapse.
Xu Jing was finally mentally prepared, his eyelids jumped, but his face was calm, and he said, "Misunderstanding? The two of them are dead, and even if you shelter them, they won't be able to escape this fate. ”
He didn't make any more moves, but he didn't show weakness either, and he was full of momentum, ready to hear what Gaia would say.
Gaia waved her hand slightly, and the giant palm that stretched out from the ground merged back into the earth, and everything returned to its previous appearance in an instant.
"I know what you're saying." She sighed softly, "But I want to make a deal with you, you might as well listen before you decide." ”
"Oh? What is the deal? Let's talk about it first. ”
Xu Jing's eyes flickered, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
"I can take your petrification abilities one step further." Gaia smiled, as if she was sure that Xu Jing would agree, "In the process, it can even help you comprehend some of the true meaning of its power." ”
Xu Jing's heart beat violently, he was indeed moved, for the laws that may be comprehended, he will only be too little, not too much, after all, this is his own power, go to other worlds, even if the laws are different, but there is an essential foundation, and he can quickly adapt and adjust.
However, he still calmed down and asked, "What about your conditions?" ”
Gaia sighed again and said: "My conditions are actually very simple, you let them go this time, and don't deal with them for a year, and within this year, I promise that they will not go anywhere else, and once the deadline is up, whether they are dead or alive in the future, I will not care more." ”
Xu Jing suddenly smiled, he glanced at Gaia deeply, and understood the other party's thoughts a little.
Gaia faced Xu Jing's gaze, smiled calmly, nodded slightly, and everything was silent.
As the grandmother of Zeus and Hera, she still can't bear to watch her two children being killed in front of her, but she clearly knows that this is a torrent of the general trend, and if she can block it once, she may not be able to stop it a second time, and maybe she will trap herself.
Gaia is not afraid of death, but she still has some missions that she has not completed, and of course she does not want to give up more important missions for herself for the sake of Zeus and Hera, which is her faith.
That's why she thought of this deal, which can be regarded as protecting Zeus and them once.
As for the one-year limit, it is precisely because she understands in her heart that with Zeus and Hera's current state of almost exhausted divine power, within a year, if there is no continuous replenishment of a large number of mortal beliefs, they will inevitably lose the immortal ability of the gods and usher in a natural death.
"Awesome."
Xu Jing secretly praised in his heart, no matter how weak Gaia is, she is also the mother of the earth, and she is clear about the general trend and the situation of mankind.
Perhaps Zeus and other gods still have the illusion that by hiding, the humans of Argos will continue to worship them under the leadership of King Acrius, and continue to bring them the restoration of their faith.
But Xu Jing is sure that Gaia definitely knows the truth, and Akeris will definitely not be able to hide it from the other party when he is controlled by himself.
Agreeing on a year is just a year to extend the lives of Zeus and Hera, and just one year is nothing compared to the opportunity to comprehend the law, he can afford to wait.
"I can say yes." Xu Jing basically agreed to this deal, but continued: "But you have to tell me the location of the other main gods. ”
Zeus and Hera have Gaia watching, he is not worried that something will go wrong, and living an extra year and waiting for death is not necessarily a good thing for a god who is accustomed to eternal immortality.
But the other gods, he is not ready to let go, first, he is worried that these gods will find that the power of faith has disappeared, and the dog jumps over the wall after Argos betrays, and secondly, he does not want to let go of the divine power on the other party.
And after Gaia heard his answer, she frowned, and other gods were also extensions of her bloodline, among which Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, was no worse than Zeus and Hera in her heart, and even because the other party's ability was related to the earth, it was closer.
As the Mother of the Earth, she naturally knows where the other gods are hiding, but she wants to sell the other children, which makes her very embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, just when Gaia hesitated, Zeus, who had been hiding in the house, suddenly walked out and said directly: "I know where they are, I can tell you." ”
"You ......" Gaia's face changed, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
Zeus was completely unaware, his face was a little hideous, and he said, "Which of them cares if we live or die!" ”
He and Hera hid inside, seeing everything outside clearly, at first when Xu Jing made a move, he was excited, wishing that the two sides would fight, and there was no room for relaxation, and when the two sides talked about the deal, he was full of nervousness and worry.
Although it is not clear what the mystery of this year's covenant is, Zeus also probably understood one thing, that is, the end of the gods is coming, which is the arrangement of fate, and no one can stop it.
He was terrified, but he had no choice, the only hope was that there would be a turnaround within the year, and this year, he would need to trade the secret hideouts of other gods.
Gaia was soft-hearted, Zeus was not, and he had not forgotten how the other gods rejected him and fled when he needed help the most.
And some of these escaped gods may have thought that as the god king, he was Medusa's primary target, so he instead covered the other gods to escape safely.
Thinking of this, Zeus became even more angry, and he wanted to sell the other gods clean, even if he died, he would die in the end.
Gaia's expression changed and changed, and finally she sighed and stepped aside.
Zeus was overjoyed, knowing that Gaia had acquiesced in his actions, which meant that he and Hera would be safe for at least a year.
Soon, he told Xu Jing in detail the information about the other gods he knew, which not only included the secret strongholds of those gods, but also their various weaknesses.
