Chapter 39: Fireworks That Shocked the World (Part II)
"Run!" Capturing Percy's stagnation, Athena squeezed out the last trace of energy that could be used in her body and made it erupt from her heart, and with the help of Percy's scepter, she moved back ten meters in just a moment, temporarily out of the mortal realm! []
"Mom...... It's not good, mom is in danger! At the same moment that throbbing rose, Percy instantly realized its source, and it was Sally? Jackson has been hurt by the outside world! Has something happened to the camp...... The brain was racing, and Percy was instantly close to the truth of the matter.
It's okay, it's just a minor injury, and it's ...... Based on this strange feeling, it seems that Mom will not be in danger anytime soon...... So, take out Athena as fast as you can and rush to the camp!
The flow of information rushed by like a tidal wave, and it only took a second for the outside world to react. However, at this time, although Athena was seriously injured, she retreated more than twenty meters.
Want to run?! Percy raised his eyebrows, and with a turn of attack, the whole person and the scepter seemed to become one, like a dragon entering the water, and shot towards Athena through the roaring waves, as fast as lightning.
The huge waves swept and churned, and a dragon burst out of it, opened its bloody mouth, poked out its huge claws, and Tarzan grabbed Athena like a top, and it was full of might.
"This incident is my fault, I will make up for it in the future, give you, give Annabeth an explanation......" Before this power that made the earth crack, Athena, who had been retreating in embarrassment, suddenly raised her head and sighed leisurely, listening to her tone, it was a posture of temporary defeat today and a comeback tomorrow.
It turned out that before she knew it, she had retreated to a place less than five meters away from the edge of the enchantment, and she could touch the enchantment at any time!
Apollo and Hephaestus' eyes flickered for a while, and suddenly they made a choice in the blink of an eye.
"Confess? Less amused me here!! Percy, who was like a raptor pounce, sneered, his eyes full of pain and hideousness: "Who do you give an explanation?" How to explain? Explain what? A person's lifelong trust, a person's life, is it just a matter of you explaining? No kidding! β
Percy took the reactions of the three of them into his eyes, and suddenly laughed: "If you really want to explain, use your life to explain!" β
Athena, who was in a hurry, listened to Percy's roar and stopped talking, but retreated with all her strength with a calm face. Five, four, two...... Seeing that she was about to leave the battlefield and escape.
"Athena, do you remember that helpless woman who knelt in your temple and cried and prayed for three days and three nights, but was ruthlessly abandoned by you and given to Poseidon, the god of the sea, as a gift, and finally forcibly possessed by that beast in your temple......" Just when Athena's delicate fingers were less than half a meter away from the barrier, Percy suddenly said in a fluttering tone.
Boom! It was as if someone had slapped her on the head, and Athena's body trembled violently! At the same time, a chill suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart and rushed to the top of her head, giving her goosebumps all over her body!
Turning her head stiffly and a little bit, what broke into Athena's sight was a beautiful face!
With delicate skin, long eyelashes, closed eyes, a high nose bridge, and just the right curvature of the corners of the mouth, she is a perfect sleeping beauty without the slightest flaw - if it weren't for that snake hair!
Medusa! Medusa's head!
The memories that turned out of the corner shook off the thick dust, and the black and white cinematic condensed into a photograph and a picture slipped through Athena's mind......
Medusa ...... The woman who regarded herself as the last resort in extreme helplessness and despair was ruthlessly given by herself as a gift to Befriend Poseidon...... The cry of despair, the silent accusation, so vivid, seemed to have happened yesterday...... Poseidon's gray eyes frightened Medusa, who had finished venting her bestial desires, and so, under her own curse, she lost the long hair that made Hera and many other goddesses jealous, and turned into a roaring snake......
"After that, you will be liberated forever, and you will no longer have to be coveted by the gods...... Be grateful to me......" It was the last conversation between her and her.
Medusa! Athena's heart is beating wildly......
Medusa! Athena's pupils constricted......
Hiss~~~ The soft poisonous snake suddenly contracted and ejected in unison, letting out a roar! The poisonous fangs are numerous, the red letter is full of words, and countless fresh stamens bloom in the continuous color, which is a cruel beauty!
In the neighing of countless poisonous snakes, those soft eyes slowly opened, and they were all gray and white of ancient fossils! Dead white!
These eyes are like a dry wasteland, without a trace of life, but at this moment, a few big characters are clearly engraved on the endless wasteland-
Die, Athena!!
Hisss Hiss!! The entangled viper let out its final roar, and its gray pupils shot out two rays of miserable white light, hitting Athena's terrified face straight away!
Woo~~Kakaka~~ With the gray and white light as the center, Athena's beautiful face instantly began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming gray and turning into a stubborn stone!
Head, neck, upper body, lower body...... In less than ten seconds, Athena was transformed into a lifelike stone statue!
The viper hung down again, and Medusa's gray eyes gradually changed into a dreamy blue, the original color of her eyes. At the same time, the eyes that had been silent for a long time suddenly rippled, and two bloody tears slowly flowed......
The resentment that has accumulated for thousands of years has finally been fulfilled today.
In a trance, the three of them seemed to hear a faint sigh of relief, and gradually disappeared as they drifted away......
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Divide......... Cut......... Line............
Chasing and fleeing all the way, a dozen survivors such as Caron finally arrived at the realm of demigods, however, what greeted them was dumbfounded, and endless despair couldn't stop rising from their hearts.
Blood! Fire! Hack and slash! Growl! Looking around, these things fill this beautiful and illusory country!
The flames of war have spread to this ancient and isolated country.
Covered in bruises and bloodstains, Charon's eyes were about to split, and he let out a deep roar of rage, galloped with his hooves, and pulled out a warrior dressed as an ancient Greek soldier with a few breaths left in the pile of dead men, and asked about the situation urgently.
"We ...... Attacked by the creatures of darkness...... They came out of nowhere, and we were caught off guard...... Go and tell the king of the mountain about this, and the only ones who can save us are the great heroes...... Belch! "The warrior used his last strength, crooked his neck, and left this world.
"You idiots!" With tears in his eyes, Caron suddenly cursed: "You are all idiots! Those who have the blood of a selfish god in their veins are not worth it! β
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" A centaur with a broken hand immediately interrupted Charon's roar, "The monsters are coming after you, and this is happening here again, where are we going?" β
Kajon reacted immediately, his blank gaze swept over the ruins of the gorgeous palace not long ago, and said categorically: "The power of the demigod kingdom is very strong, it is impossible to destroy all of them, if you want to live, you must join them!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Divide......... Cut......... Line............
Quickly digging a deep pit to bury Medusa's head, Percy mourned silently for more than ten seconds, bowed deeply, and turned around, following his telepathy to rescue his mother who might be in danger as soon as possible.
"Wait!" Apollo suddenly shouted out to Percy: "Are you going to New York, just drop by, let's go together, it just so happens that we also have something to discuss with you." β
Glancing faintly at the two of them, Percy nodded silently.
Forty minutes later, the group of three arrived in New York, where the towering spire of the Empire State Building* came into view.
The space around the building fluctuated suddenly, and a figure appeared, it was the taciturn god of the hearth, Hestia, who had also sent a clone to the nether.
Glancing over to this side, and nodding silently from the three of them, Hestia turned into a shadow of light and quickly rushed to the camp position.
"Percy, how did you think about our proposal?" Apollo felt several familiar power fluctuations in the camp, frowned slightly, and said to Percy.
An indifferent gaze swept over the expectant faces of Apollo and Hephaestus, and a hint of vague sarcasm crossed Percy's eyes, and he shook his head, his tone calm to indifferent: "That's impossible." β
"Why?" Apollo shook, perhaps irritated by Percy's attitude and tone, compared to his own behavior like a clown's performance, and his tone began to reveal anger: "Can you tell us why!" β
The god of fire, Hephaestus, was also very dissatisfied with the behavior and attitude of Percy, a "junior", and the faint coercion of the gods appeared.
Percy took in all the small movements of the two of them, and his tone became even colder. He suddenly smiled sarcastically: "You don't understand anything at all. Sure enough, the so-called gods are like this......"
"You ......" Apollo raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Percy instantly accelerated, broke through the faint encirclement formed by the two, turned into a pale blue water and disappeared, shooting towards the entrance of the camp.
Apolloh Phaestus, whose faces were gloomy, made eye contact for a few seconds, and in an instant reached some kind of agreement, and also flew towards the entrance of the camp.
As soon as the three of them left with their front feet, there was another wave of space around the Empire State Building, and the clone of the sea god Poseidon, who was full of the charm of a mature man, appeared, and after slightly confirming the downward direction, it turned into a blue light and flickered away.
The entrance to the camp is very lively at the moment.
Zeus, the god king, Hera, the sun god, Hephaestus, the god of fire, Hestia, the god of the hearth, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, Hermes, the god of the moon, Artemis, the goddess of wisdom, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Hades, and Ares, the god of war, eight of the twelve main gods gathered here.
When Poseidon arrived, he saw this scene. And, of course, Percy.
Seeing this "long-awaited" son, Poseidon was quite excited, and wanted to rush over for an intimate father-son hug in a few arrow steps! Butβunder Percy's indifferent gaze, Poseidon's face twitched, and at last he stopped in a daze, forcibly relocated his toes, and walked towards the gathering place of the main god.
Looking at Poseidon's back, Percy's stagnant pupils suddenly rippled, and then an inexplicable malice made Poseidon shiver and tremble.
"There's a problem here!" Zeus glanced at Poseidon strangely and pointed to the camp gate.
