Interlude (5) Like the smoke of the past
One day in the 21st century, the gods who had been sleeping on the sacred mountain of Olympus awoke.
The Protoss sealed the ability gem for the rise, but Athena, the god of war who awakened, found that the gem containing her divine power was missing.
In order to help Athena regain her powers, the gods sent their subordinates to the human realm to find Athena's gem.
Carretta, the messenger of Venus, the goddess of love, and her brother Kamod, and the priest of the sun god Percius set out for the city of Athens in search of gems for the goddess.
In the process of searching for gems, Kareta found the reincarnation of her former boyfriend, the second prince of Troy, Hector, who is now a Chinese student, and told him about the love, death, and promise of the second prince of Troy and her.
José falls in love with Carrete, and the two rekindle their old relationship.
The good times did not last long, and Carette encountered the dark god Demos during a visit to an art exhibition, and the two gods of the god generation had a confrontation, and Carreta was defeated by Demos and fled.
Demos has been entangled with Carette ever since.
Poseidon, the king of the Aquamen, knew that the Athena Jewel was hidden in the hands of Demos, so he abducted her into the underwater temple while Jose regained his memories and took her to the seaside.
Aquaman asks Demos to exchange the Athena gem for Carret, but Demos is about to do so but is thwarted by Cali, and the Dark Temple is infighting.
Demos broke into the underwater temple with the Athena gem, and on the other hand, the sun god priest Percius took Jose to infiltrate the underwater temple to save Carette.
Jose was turned into stone by Aquaman's mistress, Medusa, and Aquaman told Carreta about Demos's possession of the Athena Gem and snatched it into his own hands. In order to save everyone, Carette humiliated Demos after assassinating Baixiu, and lied that she loved the Sea King to force Demos to leave the bottom of the sea.
Aquaman saw through Karete's bitter plan and ordered Medusa to awaken the blood sacrifice of the "Soul of Oras", a magic harp sealed under the sea. The magic strings of the lyre attacked Kareta and destroyed her body.
In order to help Demos, who is not accustomed to water warfare, fight against Aquaman, Carreta risked the destruction of the original god and used the "soul splitting spell" to separate half of her original god from the physical body and combine with Demos's divine power, and finally eliminated him and Medusa after another battle with Aquaman.
With the help of Poseidon's eldest son, Triton, Demos rushed to the "ends of the earth" and restored Carreta with mermaid tears and restored her to her place.
With the gem missing, Demos couldn't hide it anymore and brought it to Kareta to try to see if she could break the seal of the crystal ball and retrieve the gem. Cali misunderstood that Demos wanted to return the gem and swung his axe to severely injure Karete.
In desperation, Demos tells Cali that Carette is the key to unlocking the seal of the crystal ball on the outside of the gem. Only her true love for him from the heart can break the seal.
He had only courted her in every way before, because he wanted to wait for the time to take out the gem and then seize the power of Athena himself, and finally fight Zeus, with the shame of being expelled from the holy mountain by him in the first place!
However, the previous battle between Aquaman and Demos had alarmed Zeus, the god of the gods, and he finally detected the Athena Divine Power Gem that Demos was carrying.
In order to ensure the coexistence of the two worlds of man and god, Zeus did not want to confront the dark forces of Demos by force, but used the lives of Paciu and Jose to blackmail Carette to sever contact with Jose and follow Demos, waiting for an opportunity to regain the Athena Jewel.
In desperation, Carette proposed to José to break up, and José left Greece sadly.
Equally grief-stricken, Carette arrives at a winter speakeasy to get drunk and encounters a gang of lewd drunkards. Drunk, she inadvertently uses a spell to make the dark god Demos, who is desperate to find her whereabouts, sense her whereabouts.
Demos and his attendant Noah rushed to Carette's side in time and viciously punished the drunkards who tried to take advantage of her. In this way, he brought her unconscious back to his villa in the human world.
When Carreta woke up, Demos was so gentle with her that she was touched by the lovelorn she had just fallen out of love. After another confession by Demos, she entrusts herself to him and lives with him, secretly waiting for an opportunity to steal the Athena Jewel.
Carette misses Jose unusually much, and at the same time, Zeus's thoughts follow her, constantly disturbing her sleep, and living in fear day and night. Through several communications with him, Carreta gradually realized his sinister intentions. He seems to want not only the gem, but also the life of Demos!
The clever Demos begins to realize that Carette has another purpose in living with him, which is why she is not happy at the villa, but he does not give up his love for Carette.
In order to make Carette happy, Demos used a spell to make Greece bloom overnight with fiery red roses, and gave her a romantic surprise as a wedding gift.
On the other hand, he rushed back to the Dark Temple and told Kali, the goddess of blood, of his decision to marry Kareta. Cali was mad on the spot, and after a rage, he expressed his admiration for him with a sad expression.
Demos was unable to respond to Cali's love, and he had only Carreta in his heart all along. Saddened and lonely, Demos left the Dark Temple.
With the help of Aquaman's eldest son, the mermaid prince Triton, Carette finally accepts Demos' marriage proposal, much to his delight.
Demos chartered a luxury cruise ship and held a grand engagement ceremony with Carette.
In Demos' absence, Carette walked alone to the rear of the deck, where she unexpectedly spotted Jose. A stunned Carette chased after her, and was about to take a closer look, when she was suddenly pushed from behind and thrown directly into the sea.
The news media made a big fuss about Carlete's overboard, and reporters lined up at the door of Demos's South Side villa, rushing to do an interview for Carret. In desperation, Demos had no choice but to take her back to the Dark Temple to stay in order to avoid the media.
Cali urged Demos to trick Carette into opening the seal of the crystal ball and taking out the gem, and then attacking the Holy Mountain.
However, after some struggle, Demos finally decided to give up the idea of revenge. Now his love for Carreta is greater than his hatred for the gods of Olympus!
Once again, Cali was mad at Demos's decision. In order to obtain the Athena Gem, and also to take revenge, she took the opportunity of Demos to go to the human world to deal with business, and revealed the secret of the gem seal to Carrete.
Carley mistakenly believed Cali's words, believing that Demos was just playing tricks on her. Grief-stricken, she left the dimension, but found Triton with nowhere else to go.
Triton took Carreta back to the Holy Land "to the ends of the earth", where she was asked to recuperate in peace and think through everything.
Demos chased Terry to Byron's College, where he was sneered at. However, the kind-hearted Triton finally couldn't bear to be sad and told Demos about her habitat at this time.
Demos spent most of his energy rushing to the ends of the world, the ends of the earth, and begged her to go back with him, but she refused.
Carette's series of rebukes slandered Demos, and he pounced on her and "punished" her several times. In the end, the two reconciled as before, and at the same time met each other frankly, and poured out the secrets hidden in their hearts openly.
Demos decided to give the Athena Jewel to the gods of Olympus in exchange for a peaceful life with Carret. When they arrived at the Temple of Darkness with their attendant Noah, they found that Kali, the goddess of blood, had already staged a coup d'état and held the Athena Jewel in their own hands. After a fierce fight, all the servants loyal to Demos were killed.
Carette never gave up on the down-and-out Demos, all misunderstandings were clarified, true love came, and the two hearts were completely fused together at this moment.
On the day of the festival, Carette unexpectedly received an invitation from Jose, who had returned to Greece, to meet him at the hotel. At this time, Jose has changed dramatically, and he is more mature and attractive than before.
After some conversation, Jose couldn't help but show his true colors.
It turned out that the real Jose missed Carette so much after returning to China that he couldn't help but rush back to Greece again. On the way, he was possessed by the soul of Poseidon, the king of the sea. Aquaman, who controlled Jose, pestered Carette endlessly, and threatened Triton's life to drag Carette into the hotel room, ready to commit violence.
At this time, Kareta realized that the Jose she saw on the deck of the cruise ship was not a phantom, but the real murderer who took his body and pushed her into the sea.
On the other hand, Demos arrives at the hotel in time to receive the news, and he thinks that his wife has not cheated on her former boyfriend, so he beats Jose and takes Carette back to the villa.
The news media seized on this scandal again to publicize it. Angered to the extreme, Demos refuses to trust Carret, and the two become estranged.
Kareta confronts Hades, the king of Hades, and asks for help. Hades knew Zeus's true ambition to want the Athena Jewel and save the world from catastrophe, and in order to completely destroy Zeus's ambition to rebuild the Titans, Hades asked Kareta to exchange her life for the Broken Mind Demon Pot to subdue the spirit of the Sea King.
Kareta is eager to save people, and at the same time feels that she has been bound by a fate that she can't leave, so all thoughts are lost. She made a soul pact with Hades in the Infernal Hell, and once she had sealed her soul with the Broken Pot, Kareta had to swallow the Larenia known as the "Poison of Bliss". At this point, the seal of the gem will be completely turned into a death seal!
Returning from Hades' mansion, Carette was caught by a drunken Demos, who thought she was hiding from him and going out to make trouble, so he forced her to have sex with her, despite her resistance. For the safety of Jose and Triton, Carreta has bitter words about Demos's revenge.
Noah, a loyal servant, did not want to see a pair of masters drifting apart, so he quietly found José. The stabbing attempt failed, but he was seriously injured by his shot. But officially, Noah grasped Jose's true identity at this moment.
Before he died, Noah met his master, Demos, and told him that Jose was the Sea King and that Carette had been framed.
Demos decided to take Caret away and stop worrying about the Protoss' grievances. And Kareta had other plans.
After using a spell to put Demos into a deep sleep, Caret found José alone and used the Broken Mind Pot to break off Aquaman, but was thwarted by Cali on the way. At the critical moment, the real Jose regained consciousness and fought in the same body as Aquaman's primordial spirit. In the end, in order not to drag Carreta down, Jose hit the wall and cut himself.
Carette drank into "Calarenia", and her fate is unknown. In a fit of rage, Cali sealed the spirit of the Sea King with a magic pot, and then captured the unconscious Carreta and Jose in the Dark Temple.
On the way to Yellow Springs, Demos caught up with Carret, tried everything to get her back, and sent her spirit back to the human world despite the obstruction of the Hades. He fell into the nineteenth layer of hell "Infernal".
Demos's persistence moved Hades, who exchanged Karete's karmic burnings for Demos in the form of a contract exchange.
When Caret awoke, she lost the battle with Kali and was forced to break the seal of the Athena Jewel.
Demos pursued to another dimension, just as Zeus's army invaded another dimension. After a fierce battle, the Dark Clan was wiped out and Cali's ambitions were thwarted. Eventually, Demos left Carette behind and accompanied him to his death.
The male protagonist Demon Lord died, and then, there are various fates waiting for the female protagonist Karethe? Can the male protagonist be resurrected as a god? After the Athena Gem is opened, the human world will suffer all kinds of catastrophes?
