Chapter 7: Troublesome Medusa
Chapter 7: Troublesome Medusa
Traveling all the way, Zhang Shen and Kratos came to the outside of Destiny Island.
Destiny Island is similar to Mount Olympus, there is such an island in the human world, but in fact it does not exist in this space, and even Zhang Shen found that its own timeline is staggered from the human world, completely in another time and space.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the Mirror of Destiny has been able to exist in the covetousness of Zeus and other gods. Zhang Shen did some research and found that there was no way to cross the time and space moat and step into the fate island that seemed to be close at hand, and couldn't help but think.
The two tossed for a while, helpless.
"Hey, I said, you've been a god of war for a while, there must be a special way to enter Destiny Island."
Kratos scratched his smooth scalp in frustration: "I'm not interested in tossing around this boring stuff at all......"
"That's right!" Kratos suddenly slammed his palm, his eyes lit up, "I seem to remember that Hermes guy said that it takes a war horse to enter Destiny Island...... That's right, that's it, this is it! β
"The Time Horse was given to Zeus by the three goddesses of fate, but Zeus didn't use it, and Hermes boasted that he rode it a few times...... Those time horses were usually left to the care of Theseus. Kratos recalled, "As long as you find Theseus, you can take the time horse into Destiny Island." β
"Theseus...... Theseus ...... It should be around here! Kratos thumped his bare head and snapped it.
Zhang Shen pointed to his left-hand side: "We searched separately and found a signal." β
Kratos's luck really doesn't have to be said, Zhang Shen didn't look for it for long, he received a signal from him, and returned to the meeting place, only to see four sturdy and tall white horses behind him kicking the ground irritably, but it was difficult to break free under his brute force.
Zhang Shen felt the resentment and blood around Kratos, and then looked at the irrepressible fear in the eyes of the time war horse when he looked at Kratos, the experience and fate of the wrangler named Theseus can be imagined.
"It's so bad." Zhang Shen muttered, turned over and got on his horse, and the time war horse stepped into the air, passing through the dangerous space-time barrier and entering the space-time where the real Destiny Island is located.
The island of destiny is astonishingly vast, and the three goddesses live in the most central and highest temple of destiny, and in order to reach the temple of destiny, they must pass through many dangerous places, overcome many difficulties, or strange terrain or monsters and spirits. The various monsters on Destiny Island were specially caught and stocked by the three goddesses, and the meaning of not wanting to see outsiders is obvious.
The most troublesome of them is undoubtedly Medusa, who has the eye of petrification.
Medusa has a beautiful and bepleasing upper body, a giant serpent on the lower body, full of snake hair, and eyes that are extremely charming, but any living thing that her eyes come into contact with will be petrified. Medusa is also a bitter man, because she is too beautiful, she was tricked by the god of the sea Poseidon into going to the temple of Athena and raping her, which angered Athena, who did not want to conflict with Poseidon over such a trivial matter and transferred her anger to Medusa, and put a curse on her, making her what she is now.
For Medusa, it was a great grace for the three goddesses of fate to bring themselves to this isolated island of fate, so they volunteered to guard the gate for the three of them.
The petrified light from Medusa's eyes was so powerful that the general gods couldn't resist it, and the main gods all felt headaches, which made the three goddesses of fate less troublesome.
Zhang Shen and the two soon saw the petrification ability that had been transformed into an incomparable headache for Athena, the initiator.
As soon as Medusa appeared, without saying a word, two brown rays of light shot out of Biubiu's eyes, striking the two of them.
Kratos stood in front of him with two knives, and petrified light fell on the blade, knocking him back a few steps. The speed of the Medusa petrified light was amazing, and Kratos was careless, and a ray of light grazed the back of his hand, and his left hand instantly turned into a rock, and the big knife fell to the ground with a bang.
The golden light bloomed, and this was the seed of the power of the god of war in Kratos's body that finally grew stronger, bursting with power and stopping the spread of petrified power. Divine power is also a manifestation of the power of the law of the world/truth, on the same level as the power of petrification, but in a hurry, it can only contain its further deterioration and cannot be cured and dispelled.
On the other side, Zhang Shen sensed the danger and decisively opened the realm of truth to envelop his whole body. The petrified rays fell into the realm of truth, and their power was greatly reduced due to the difference in rules, only to feel a numbness and hardening of the place where he was hit, and did not turn further into stone.
Zhang Shen coveted this kind of power, and instead of retreating, he took the initiative to take on the attacks of petrified rays, but unexpectedly, Medusa's attack speed was too fast, and he felt like he was out of control in most of his chest after only a few breaths.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the vitality of heaven and earth converged, forming a mirror, blocking in front of him.
His original intention was to reflect the light back, at least scatter it, but who knew that the petrified light turned a blind eye to this mirror, penetrated directly, and persevered towards Zhang Shen.
"Curious powers!" Zhang saw Hunting Xinxi, and while quickly dodging, he pondered how to copy this kind of power.
At this time, Kratos was hit, and his left palm was directly petrified, although the power of the god of war reappeared on the spot, he fell into the wind due to the difficulty of the lone palm, and the left and right sides were weak, and he was very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhang Shen waved his hand, and the wind and clouds gathered to fly sand and stones, and several earthen walls rose from the ground to block Medusa's sight.
With a "retreat", the two took the opportunity to retreat quickly, Medusa looked coldly at the back that disappeared quickly, there was no intention of pursuing, the snake body swam, slowly swam back to her gorgony temple, and turned into a stone to hibernate again.
On the edge of Destiny Island, a place where the time war horse is tied like a ferry.
Zhang Shen and Kratos suffered defeat for the first time and returned in embarrassment, and Time War Horse noticed Kratos's petrified palm, and his eyes flashed with joy, and he looked like he had taken revenge.
The two of them would not pay attention to the psychology of several horses, and all their attention was on Kratos's golden left palm at the moment.
Kratos originally thought that as long as he spent more effort, the power of the god of war would be able to remove the petrification, but after half an hour, the palm of his hand was still the same, and the power of petrification was extremely stubborn, although it was a source of water, it could still maintain basic stability under the strong impact of the power of the god of war, and the speed of dissipation could be ignored.
"I can't help it, why don't you try it?" Kratos struggled and looked at Zhang Shen.
The latter opened the realm of truth and slowly enveloped his left hand.
The stubborn petrification has really been weakened!
Butβ
The power of the god of war has also been weakened......
It's still a weird balance, and there's no solution.
Zhang Shen shrugged his shoulders and said that he was unable to do it.
There is no doubt that this is a lie, Zhang Shen just doesn't want to expose his real hole cards, after all, the relationship between the two is not good enough to that extent. And as a "ill-intentioned" outsider, Zhang Shen always felt that it was impossible for him to be so harmonious with Kratos, the protagonist of the plane!
Kratos scratched and scratched on the petrified palm, grinning for a long time, and finally relentlessβ
"! I can't cure you if I don't believe it!! β
In Zhang Shen's flickering and suspicious gaze, Hejian Kratos shouted angrily, raised his war knife in his right hand, and slashed it down.
The petrified left palm is broken at the wrist!
Blood gushed out, but in the blink of an eye, the pillar, the golden mangs surged, and a brilliant golden palm was regenerated from the fracture, which was a little more powerful and domineering than the previous flesh palm.
The color of the freshman's palm quickly darkened, and after a few minutes, it recovered as before, and only when he looked closer, he could see a scar that was three points thinner than a hair.
Kratos grinned: "I crawled out of hell, my body is no longer mortal body, and now the power of the god of war is back, this level of injury is nothing, just rest one or two and disappear." β
He looked very honest, Zhang Shen smiled with "hehe", and at the same time he was secretly vigilant in his heart, but at the same time, some strange thoughts suddenly appeared: If I want to kill him or other gods, what should I do?
My thoughts are getting farther and farther away, and I can't help but feel a little distracted.
"What now?" Kratos sat on the grass, grabbed one and put it in his mouth and chewed, "If we don't get this broken snake, we won't be able to enter the Temple of Destiny." β
Zhang Shen pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I have heard a story that in a distant land, there is a rare treasure called the Golden Fleece, and the armor made of this kind of thing can defend against all curses...... I wonder if it has any effect on Medusa's petrified eye? β
This story was naturally learned by him from the heads of the Rav people by some improper means, and it was originally a legendary story that did not know the source, and Zhang Shen also had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered this incident.
Due to the existence of too many demigods and heroes in this world, there are a lot of stories and legends without a beginning and an end, and their authenticity is limited to transportation, which cannot be verified, and can only be listened to as stories.
"Impressions?" Zhang Shen looked at Kratos expectantly, after all, he was a "local" and had lived so long......
Kratos rolls his eyes and tries to find familiar fragments of memories in his muscular brain.
After a long time, he said, "There is indeed such an arm made of golden fleece, which seems to have been sacrificed by some king to that bastard of Ares, and then he was killed by me, and I have not touched it, so it should still be in place." β
"The Sacred Grove of Ares...... Yes, this is the place! β
"Are you sure?" Zhang Shen didn't dare to compliment this guy's memory.
"I'm not sure, I'm going to check it out, are I?" Kratos rolled his eyes, and his sharp complaint made Zhang Shen retreat, "You don't have a better way." β
"Uh, okay, hurry up and take a look at ......"
The four Time Warhorses, who were boredly gnawing on the weeds on the ground, suddenly became agitated and looked around in horror, feeling that they were being targeted by some terrible beast.
raised his head, but the terrifying gaze came from two men who sneered.
"It's a pity to be such a good means of transportation. You say, Kratos. β
"Makes sense!"
