Chapter 6: Prometheus' Rejection
Chapter 6: Prometheus' Rejection
After all, when he first arrived, Zhang Shen was a little careless. He didn't know that the ruthlessness and injustice of Zeus and other gods was not an isolated case, but a heredity, inherited from the first and second generations of Titan gods.
Fortunately, Prometheus was an outlier of the gods, "full of feelings", more like a legendary saint, who had compassion for the unenlightened human beings, so he personally stole the fire and taught them to use it.
It is such a Prometheus that will change color when he sees the bones taken out by Zhang Shen, and immediately thinks of his little brother Menotios, whom he has not seen for many years.
"Young man, tell me who you are, explain your intentions, what do you want, and what can you come up with?" Prometheus is extraordinary, his thoughts turned a few times, he sorted out the general situation, and said.
I really didn't find the wrong person! Zhang Shen was sure in his heart, and said: "You can call me the Truth Agent, Zhang Shen, my intention is very simple, to release you, and even help you rescue other imprisoned Titans." ”
"As for my purpose? Message! Under Prometheus' puzzled gaze, Zhang Shen spoke eloquently, "All the ancient information about this world. The origin and evolution of this world, some hidden secrets that only exist in ancient times, all kinds of unsolved mysteries...... And so on and so forth. ”
After a moment of silence, Prometheus's thick eyebrows furrowed together: "Your Excellency, please ask what is your purpose in pursuing these messages sealed in the dust of history. He checked his memory, and there seemed to be nothing very special, could it be some kind of conspiracy?
Zhang Shen shook his head: "I'm not interested in explaining too much, I can only say that I am personally interested." If you agree, I'll keep my promise to help you free the other Titans, otherwise...... Well, even if it doesn't work, I'll save you, after all, your act of stealing fire has helped us humans a lot, even if it's a gratitude. Consciously or unconsciously, Zhang Shen "legitimized" his identity and shaped himself as a member of the world.
No one knew—not even the vast majority of the gods—that when Zeus wanted to arrest and punish Prometheus, he didn't make any resistance!
He is not stupid, he knows that this is Zeus clearing the first and second generation of Titan Gods (strictly speaking, Zeus Poseidon and they all belong to Titan Gods, but for convenience, they are taken out of this sequence), and they are liquidated after the fact. At that time, not long after the Titan War, Zeus and other gods were greatly injured, and this kind of action was really a bit too aggressive. At that time, if Prometheus and other Titans who took refuge in Zeus's side resisted by force, it would definitely be another big war, and the outcome of life or death was unknown.
But Prometheus chose to give up resistance for the sake of "peace" in his heart!
This shows his aversion to chaos, turmoil, and war.
He doubted Zhang Shen's motives. It is believed that the latter's pursuit of ancient secrets will inevitably set off a new wave of turmoil, which will eventually lead to chaos in the three realms of the gods, earth, and hell, and the destruction of life.
It doesn't matter if his brain is too big, or if his vigilance is too strong, with this idea, it is destined that Zhang's wishful thinking will come to naught.
"I'm sorry, Surrogate, but you can leave." After thinking for a long time, Prometheus shook his head with a serious expression and rejected Zhang Shen's proposal, "You don't have to let me down, so be it, thank you for killing the Condor so that I can get a few days of rest." ”
Zhang Shen keenly felt a hint of hostility towards himself by Prometheus, and was surprised, and asked, "Why?!" You seem to be hostile to me, I really can't understand it. ”
was told by Zhang Shen on the spot, Prometheus was as calm as water: "There is no why." Maybe I'm used to it. ”
"Damn, are you shaking M?!" Before Zhang Shen could speak, he suddenly found something interesting, and his expression became strange.
Prometheus thought it was a messenger sent by Zeus to check the situation: "You better go quickly, it's too late to leave now, there are many of them, even if Your Excellency is superior, you will still suffer after all." ”
Zhang Shen smiled and didn't respond, just stood quietly and waited. Prometheus was not a chatter, and when he saw that the former did not answer, he didn't say anything more, and for a while only the whirring wind remained at the peak.
It didn't take long for the figure of the visitor to come into the sight of the two.
"Why are you here?!" Kratos' mouth was wide open enough to shog an ostrich egg and tear his voice open, but fortunately this was on the peak of no one's land, otherwise everyone would not know about it.
The one who came was the big bald Kratos who finally climbed from hell to the world!
He came here precisely because of Gaia's idea. The latter was worried that he was not strong enough to go directly to the Three Goddesses of Fate to give away his head, so he asked him to go to the Lost Soul Desert to find Prometheus first. Gaia, as the mother of the earth and the mother of all the Titans (the relationship is so chaotic that you can't look at it directly, you can directly shoot the rhythm of the film), and she pays a lot of attention to the "outlier" of Prometheus, and understands the latter's wisdom and strength and heart.
She can almost conclude that as long as she sacrifices her brotherly love and the righteousness of the race, she can make Prometheus give in, obediently follow Kratos down the mountain, help the latter regain his strength and even become stronger, and prepare for going to the three goddesses of fate to "borrow" the mirror of fate.
You must know that the three goddesses of fate have an artifact like the mirror of destiny but have not been taken down by the greedy and shameless gods of Olympus, obviously it cannot be a vase, but there are real materials.
Not to mention the combat power of the three goddesses themselves, just the Medusa who guards the gate under their command is enough to make most of the gods go home in disgrace.
However, after all calculations, she never expected that Zhang Shen would be such a troublemaker!
“…… So, Gaia wants you to help. Kratos told Prometheus exactly what Gaia had taught him, and waited for the latter's answer.
Zhang entered the theater mode and watched coldly.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you." Prometheus' answer surprised Kratos a little. No, why doesn't this guy play his cards according to common sense, Gaia clearly swears that Prometheus will agree as soon as possible.
"Is it because of these chains?" Kratos snapped into a realization, "Haha, don't worry, let me cut it!" "It should be said that Kui Ye is worthy of being the protagonist, and he immediately got a new weapon, which is also a double knife, and the appearance is more ferocious than the blade of Athena, but there is no long chain to connect it, it is separate.
Kratos drew his knife and began to gesture at the chains on Prometheus' body, who understood his character and smiled helplessly: "It's not like that, but I really can't help you." ”
"I have my own grievances, and I can't and don't want to get out of here. I'm sorry I can't help. ”
Beneath Kratos' rugged and reckless exterior is a haughty heart, and the reason why he came to Prometheus was purely because Gaia saved his life and chose to follow her wishes. In fact, in his opinion, winning the three goddesses of fate doesn't need anyone to help him alone, and now since Prometheus refuses to go down the mountain, he just follows his own thoughts.
"In that case, I won't force it. Goodbye, goodbye. Kratos withdrew his knives, grinned and waved at Prometheus with a mouthful of large white teeth, and turned to leave.
"Hey, Zhang~~ Sen?! I remember that the last fight was not over yet, is there any interest in another fight? ”
Zhang Shen glanced at Prometheus, who was in the presence of the old god, snorted coldly in his heart, and nodded at Kratos, who was full of fighting spirit: "Let's go down first, don't disturb Lord M's self-entertainment." ”
Although I don't know what it means to shake M, it's certainly not a good word. Prometheus pretended not to hear someone's prickly teasing, and Kratos' eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, which flashed and disappeared.
This unfinished fight did not start, but the topic of the two shifted to the purpose of coming here, intentionally or unintentionally.
Kratos was the first to speak, telling everything and everything, without hiding anything, a picture of no scheming and naïve at all.
Zhang Shen is naturally not stupid enough to have such thoughts. In fact, the reason why Kratos is like this is because he sees that he is not a person on Zeus's side, and secondly, he also wants to pull this guy with good combat effectiveness who appeared out of nowhere into his own group.
Zhang Shen probably guessed his thoughts, and he was noncommittal, and also stated his purpose in a bright and bright way.
Want to pull me in? Yes, as long as you can afford the "price"!
Kratos scratched his shiny head, "Your interests are unique...... I don't understand it at all. ”
Even if he was once one of the twelve main gods, after all, he had only lived for such a few years—speaking of which, Zhang Shen was older than him—he had no idea about the information of the ancient era that Zhang Shen was pursuing, and he couldn't figure it out.
"I'm going to go to the Three Goddesses of Destiny next, they have a mirror called the 'Mirror of Destiny', and they have strange powers to travel through time and space, maybe you can get the answers you want from there."
What's this...... Facing the invitation handed over by Kratos, Zhang Shen thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes!" There are no clues left or right, so it doesn't hurt to go and see. ”
The bones of Menotios, who had high hopes, became a waste, and it was better not to go to contact other Titan gods without an entry point, Zhang Shen thought about it, and it was better to just follow and take a look, even if it didn't work, he should be distracted.
Kratos was very happy to accept a "little brother", and after leaving the Lost Soul Desert, he hunted a beast whose name he didn't know but was the same size as a blue whale, and bragged about his cooking skills to Zhang Shen.
A few hours later.
Zhang Shen looked at the large pot of broth in front of him that filled most of the water tank and the roast meat next to him that was simply chopped into large pieces on the shelf, rubbed his temples heavily, and confirmed with difficulty: "Are you sure this is the cooking skill that you are famous for the entire Spartan people?" ”
"Of course!" Kratos slapped his chest and tore off a large piece of flesh that was still dripping blood, "I'm the soul of Sparta, and my cooking skills are naturally the strongest!" ”
"Back then......" Kratos's big voice suddenly disappeared, and a trace of loneliness appeared on his face, "It's a pity that I can't go back~~"
The sentence "can't go back" resonated with Zhang Shen, and the atmosphere became depressed and depressed for a while.
However, what Kratos didn't expect was that the nightmare would come so quickly.
