Chapter 15: The Hundred-Armed Giant Who Weeps
Chapter 15: The Hundred-Armed Giant Who Cried [My Head Hurts]
Outside the gate of Typhon, a terrifying coercion suddenly erupted from the earth.
In an instant, the light and darkness were reversed, time and space froze, and the next moment, the black-gold light suddenly exploded, as if a small sun rendered by ink appeared out of thin air, illuminating a thousand times.
In the deepest part of the light, a majestic and burly figure slowly emerged, and the domineering spirit of the other person was intertwined with the indescribable yin and death aura, spreading from the figure's body, which was shocking from the heart.
The one who came is the lord of hell, Hades!
His face was full of anger. Just now, he sensed the sudden death of his beloved big dog Cerberus, and in shock, he hurriedly came out of the castle lair, and then sadly found that Cerberus had been annihilated, and even he could not save himself.
The thought of his loyal companion who had been with him for so many years was brutally murdered, Hades's face became even more gloomy. He couldn't imagine how sad his wife Persephone would be if she found out about this!
Anyone who upsets his beloved wife has only one end - death! An incomparably painful death!
Descending on the edge of hell, outside the gates of Typhon, an angry and murderous Hades turned his gaze to the face of the only living creature here, the Typhon Man.
The face on the door looked a little sickly, and he pretended to be dumb in the face of Hades' fierce questioning, laughing at his stupidity in his heart.
After a few tosses, Hades confirmed the details of Cerberus' death by some means, and all his anger was focused on the face of Typhon, discovering the latter's accomplice to the murderer.
Without saying a word, Hades exhaled a bitter cold wind of death, enveloping the faces of the Typhons. Even though it had become one with the giant gate, the sudden extreme cold from the outside in still made Typhon's face shiver several times in succession, shivering.
"I don't know what is alive or dead, honestly tell the whereabouts of the murderer, and suffer a little less!" Hades scolded. The storm troll Typhon had become one with the Gate, and it was impossible to kill it, and it was difficult to hurt it with ordinary methods, but who Hades, the Lord of Hell, controlled life and death, and it was easy to use torture methods on Typhon.
The human face reliefs change rapidly, each one a painful expression of torture. It can't make a sound, and can only use it to vent its extreme pain from the soul to the body.
But Typhon is worthy of being Typhon, the ancestor of the monster, who endured Hades' "one-on-one" private concoction for more than an hour, but did not give in, but continued to express his contempt for Hades and the entire Olympian god system.
Hades couldn't help but wonder what kind of obsession had supported Typhon to behave so tenacious—he knew very well what was going on with the storm troll "when he was alive". Comparing the two, a trace of uneasiness quietly grew.
………………… Sleepy drowsy drowsy dividing line...........................
While Typhon was subjected to harsh torture and wanton torture by Hades, Zhang Shen officially set foot in Tartarus.
If the illusion of hell can be described as "weird", then Tartarus is - desolation!
As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate land filled with sand and rolling stones, and there was hardly any greenery to be seen, let alone the breath of life—not even insects.
It's like a forbidden area for life.
"The bottom of the world, Tartarus ......" Zhang Shen's eyes flickered, there was shock, thirst, doubt, and a little fear!
Stepping on this land and letting go of his spiritual power sense, Zhang Shen immediately noticed something different from what he saw.
Nothing else, just say that this place can be said to be twice the result with half the effort for oneself to analyze and comprehend the truth of the laws of this world, and if you stay here for a few decades, your understanding of this world will definitely be able to improve to double digits.
But he didn't act rashly.
He remembered what Typhon had said before he pushed open the door:
"Tartarus was deposited at the bottom of the world, and all the filthy and dark things in the world gradually gathered in this place, and at the same time, the dark side of life in the upper three layers of space also settled into Tartarus with the passage of time, merging with it...... After all these years, Tartarus may have become a place even more terrifying than purgatory. ”
Typhon is still relatively "kind", and at the same time, he asked Zhang Shen to rescue the imprisoned Titan, and at the same time, he also told Zhang Shen everything he knew about Tartarus as much as possible, so that he would not be blinded.
According to its news that it has expired nine times out of ten, in Tartarus, you must not believe what you see! - It's a twisted world, your eyes can deceive you, and the truth is often very different from what you see with your own eyes.
Zhang Shen immediately experienced the truth of this sentence for himself.
He entered the desolate area and found a random direction to continue on his way. I didn't know that I didn't walk for long, but it was as if I had touched some kind of mechanism, the heavens and the earth were reversed, the light and darkness changed, and the next moment, the world was turned upside down.
A towering mountain of stone came into view, and at the same time, a giant with a hundred arms came into view. The hundred-armed giant's body was as large as a small mountain, and several points larger than the other Titan gods Zhang had seen.
Ding Ding dangdang!
The sound of banging and chiseling is incessant.
Zhang Shen took a few steps closer and quickly discovered the truth.
The hundred-armed giant was working hard, and the sound of the impact was clearly produced by him using his tools to chisel the majestic stone mountain.
This hundred-armed giant, named Kotos, was a descendant of Gaia and the god of the sky, Ouranos, and followed Gaia to join the Titan War, but was defeated and imprisoned in Tartarus.
From the waist down, its body was pierced by thick iron chains, and the other end sank into the earth, and I don't know how far it spread. Kotos had a hundred heads and a hundred pairs of arms, and after being imprisoned, he was used as a coolie and began a never-ending toil. From his captivity to the present, several stone mountains that are not inferior to the one in front of him have been carved open by him, polished into thick bricks and stones, and transported away.
When Kotos recounted, he also showed Zhang Shen deep palms, and saw that each of his palms had a thick cocoon, and the degree of hard work was sympathetic.
"Where are all the bricks you've made over the years?" Zhang Shen asked on a whim.
Then, he saw the acting that made his scalp tingle.
Hundreds of faces, at first stunned, then little by little turned into panic, frenzy, confusion, and finally went crazy and shouted: "Briareos, Gugeth, help, someone is going to kill me!! ”
Briareos and Gugus are also hundred-armed giants, and they are three brothers.
Hearing this, Zhang Shen's color changed immediately, and he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to retreat, so he turned around, and suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth were dark, and when he looked at it, two other hundred-armed giants with similar sizes appeared, and the three giants covered the sky together.
As soon as the two brothers appeared, they launched an attack on Zhang Shen without saying a word!
Think about it, more than 200 or nearly 300 pairs of arms, all of them smashing towards someone from top to bottom......
Rumble!
A loud bang rang out, and a huge pit appeared on the ground as a series of fists and slaps, and the cracks spread cross-fertively, filling the dust.
A figure shot out, and it was Zhang Shen.
He looked rather embarrassed.
"Are these neurotics the Titans that Typhon let me rescue? I'm going to make a slot, what a!! Zhang Shen couldn't help but scold, feeling crazy.
Finding that Zhang Shen had escaped his attack, the three-headed hundred-armed giant did not give up and continued to attack. Fortunately, the lower half of their bodies were chained, and their movement area was limited, and Zhang Shen soon noticed this and left their attack range.
The furious hundred-armed giant began to calm down.
It was also at this time that Zhang Shen noticed that something was wrong.
The two hundred-armed giants in the back were a little too weird.
After careful observation for a while, Zhang Shen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart shook violently:
They are not entities!!
The two hundred-armed giants that appeared behind were not real at all, in the words of a certain world, they were thoughts and bodies!
They are imaginary beings of the deranged Kotos!
In fact, the two had already died in the Titan War, and their deaths had a great impact on Kotos, who was later imprisoned in Tartarus, and his mental condition became worse and worse, sometimes insane and sometimes half-insane...... Under all kinds of coincidences, Kotos's mutated telekinesis actually gave birth to two thoughts of this magnitude!
Zhang Shen was shocked.
Not fear, but shock.
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the battle of the Titans in this world that had frozen the current situation.
Thinking about the body, it is indeed powerful to say that it is powerful, but as long as it is coveted by others, it is just a bubble with a solid point.
Gate of Truth, come out!
Zhang Shen's mind moved, and a simple and mysterious small door appeared in the palm of his hand, rotating rapidly, and only saw pieces of light and shadow. Ever since he stepped into Tartarus, the Gate of Truth has been very excited, constantly urging Zhang Shen to let him out.
He thought it was the guy behind his back again, but now that he looks, it doesn't seem to be the case.
This is really the will of the Gate of Truth itself.
Under the forced pressure of the restless Gate of Truth, Zhang Shen's spiritual power gushed out, and two gray-brown strange thunderbolts condensed around him, like throwing guns, and the surface flowed with a luster like chocolate.
With the turn of thought, thunder and lightning shot out, piercing through the two hundred-armed giants who broke through mountains and rivers. Only the soft sound of "poof" was heard, and the two hundred-armed giants with terrifying appearances as strong as mountains were shattered and dissipated.
Kotos was dumbfounded.
He stood on the spot for a long time, and his chaotic gaze began to fade and he regained his clarity. He understood everything, understood that things were always there. The dream woke up, and it was all over.
Muddy tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes and sprinkled on the desolate land.
Under the dark sky, a hundred-armed giant sat on the ground, crying and tearing his heart.
