Chapter 55: The Death of the Goddess
"Hades? immortal...... Seal?"
At the chaotic wedding scene, Carette looked at Jose in amazement, seeing the ghostly work on his forehead that was still glittering with a faint green light, and still did not understand what this wing-shaped mark had to do with Hades.
However, time did not allow her to think too much, and the viewing platform was already boiling, and the abnormal noise directly stimulated the great god Zeus.
The fact that he had failed to attack Jose was a great insult to him, the leader of the gods, and he now decided that the gods at the audience must be laughing at his incompetence.
Zeus waved his arms straight into the sky and unleashed another barrage of attacks.
Countless waves of silver-white light were like falling meteors, blasting wildly towards Jose's side from all sides of the sky.
This time, the protective screen of one wing turned into a dark green sphere, directly containing Jose and Carette, and the protection was tight.
As before, Zeus's attack spell was completely dissolved. Outside the protective screen, there was a lot of water vapor, between ups and downs, Jose slowly stood up from the center of the protective screen, and looked directly at Zeus outside.
"Damn human, I don't believe I can't kill you! I'm a true god, I want you to die, how can Hades protect you-"
Zeus was on fire when he saw it, and his state was like madness.
Suddenly, a straight green light shot out from the protective screen~ and blasted it to pieces without looking back.
Zeus reacted very quickly and had already risen into the air to dodge the attack from the opposite side, while Hera on the altar was carried into the air along with the fragments of the altar, pulling out a series of "whoosh" howls.
"Mother!"
Hera's sons and daughters finally couldn't sit still at the ceremony.
Alice, the goddess of disputes, and Arras, the god of war, flew to pick them up first, but the speed was a little slow. Hera's body had already fallen downward, and the wig on her head was also blown up by the wind the moment it fell.
The black-clothed guards on the ground were in a hurry, all lying on the ground and folding thick human cushions.
"Plop" -
Hera's body fell to the human cushion, and her wig fell right on top of the head of one of the guards.
The guards were smashed and grinned, but they didn't dare to shout out loud, and they all looked like they were suffering.
"Mother, how are you?"
Alice and Arras lifted Hera from the ground.
"Heavenly ...... After days, you ...... Your ......"
The black-clothed guard who received the "easter egg" handed Hera's wig to Hera respectfully, but the expression on his face was particularly embarrassed.
He was so nervous that he didn't dare to gasp, and his eyes were lowered to the bottom, for fear that he would accidentally see the top of her bare head and be severely punished by her.
Hera was immediately ashamed and angry, snatched the wig and messed around~ on her head, and cried:
"Oh, what's this called...... I suffered and worked hard to prepare for the wedding of this uneasy couple, and rushed to bless them, but in the end I was completely ugly......! O great god...... Great God, they are so disrespectful! Especially the human who broke into the Holy Land, he must not be let go......!
Zeus slowly descended from his suspended state back to the ground, stood opposite Jose, stared at the glorious mark on his forehead with wide eyes in astonishment, and muttered as if asking him, as if asking himself:
"Why? Hades wants to give you the 'Mark of Immortality', and why does he want to protect you, a small human!?"
There was another whisper among the gods.
"That weird guy from Hades actually fell in love with this human?"
"Is this blatantly against us Olympus?"
"Who knows! I guess the great god is going to have a headache again......"
"The underworld should not have been allowed to ...... so far"
......
Kareta felt incredible.
Just now, she was inside the protective screen, and by Jose's side, she could clearly see the whole process of him exerting his magical power to attack the altar.
When he stood up, a sharp green light shot out of the marked spot on his forehead. Even at this moment, she could feel an extraordinary force surging from Jose's body.
"Jose, who the hell are you...... How?"
Seeing that Carette looked at her as if she were looking at a monster, José showed an eager but helpless look:
"I'm sorry, Karete, I don't know...... I just want to protect you, I want to fight back! As soon as I had this idea, the result was ...... I swear I don't know what I've done!"
"Everybody stop—"
Croto, the goddess of fate, flew from the viewing table to the chaotic scene, standing alone between Zeus and Jose.
Because she is the goddess of fate, she predicts the rise and fall of the Titans, so her words have always had a certain weight among the gods.
"Great God, the mark of immortality is not trivial, leave this man to think about it in the long run!"
Zeus, though annoyed, accepted Croto's pertinent advice.
"Kareta is grounded in the dormitory, you ......"
He raised his hand and pointed at Jose, and smiled coldly: "Immortal, that's good! I think Olympus's 'Cliff Prisoner' will be very suitable for you!"
"Zeus ......"
Karete's face changed, she knew the danger of that place. Soon, however, she and Jose were surrounded by two teams of black-clad guards, separated from each other.
"Carret...... Carette!"
Jose wanted to fight again, but Croto stood in front of him and glared at him with an unusually serious expression:
"Listen to human, if you are really good for her, go where you need to go. Otherwise, I promise you'll never see her again in your life!"
Jose and Croto looked at each other for two seconds, then retracted their arrogance and walked away with the guard.
Hera, the goddess of blessings, and Alice, the goddess of disputes, had very ugly faces, and they exchanged glances and then left in obscurity. Hemis helped Zeus, who was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, and left.
The gods left the scene in a huff, and the empty terrace was left only with Croto, the goddess of fate, who was silent and thought alone.
The legendary "Mark of Immortality" is a unique gift from Hades, the king of Hades, to all living beings. Creatures with the mark of immortality can avoid the catastrophe of death, and humans can even be called demigods, wielding some superpowers.
Since ancient times, except for Prometheus, the hero who stole fire from the divine realm and gave it to mankind, and made the human world rapidly develop a civilized society, he has received the immortal mark of Hades, and no other human race has received this honor.
The Hades King, who has always been cold and unruly, would never protect such a human for no reason, and he must have some special intention in doing so......
A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and Croto was also stunned by his bold idea at the moment.
If that's the case, as long as Kareta is protected, maybe the crisis of the end of the world can be resolved!
Everything is in this last fight......
——
Olympus –
At night, a crescent moon hangs high in the starry crimson night sky. The holy mountain fell into the embrace of the quiet night and slept peacefully......
The dormitory of Alice, the goddess of disputes, was particularly noisy on this unique night—
Hera slapped the table hard, looking annoyed:
"Blame Hades, the king of Hades, if he doesn't give that man the mark of immortality, our plans won't be disrupted at all. As long as he dies at the hands of the gods at the wedding, won't everything be unaware......"
Originally, Hera and Alice planned to use the opportunity of the human wedding to provoke the great god, so that he could make up his mind to carry out the plan to destroy the world, and at the same time, he could also use his hand to remove some obstructive gods. No matter how much I calculated, the final result was still wrong.
"Mother, I'll go to meet the great god early tomorrow morning and take the initiative to take care of the wedding!"
Alice sat in the stone chair and thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind.
"What are you talking about? Confess that you brought the human into the holy mountain?...... No, absolutely not! Zeus is angry now, and if you don't do it, he will punish you severely, in case you move out of the Divine Law......"
"Since that man is not dead, sooner or later he will confess me to the great god! I take the initiative to confess now, even if I am given a death, I will not implicate you!"
"If I say no, I can't-"
Hera was agitated and shouted anxiously.
"Alice, I need you! You can't leave me!"
The god of war, Arras, stood by the side of the two goddesses, and when he saw this, he approached to comfort him:
"Sister, don't be too pessimistic! It's really not good, I'll send someone to the cliff prisoner now, and cut off the man's tongue directly!"
"It's too late! If you go for trouble with him now, you're looking for your own trouble, aren't you throwing yourself into the net!"
Alice gave Arras a disgruntled look.
"Then I will gather my Holy Legion and mutiny in advance to seize power!"
"You're stupid! shut up—"
Alice jumped up from her chair in a fit of rage, grabbed Arras's necklace with one hand, and pestled the cold golden mask in front of his eyes:
"Can you use your brain a little, you only know when you can dance knives and guns all day long! My mother and I are all planning for you, you should be sober for me!"
"But...... But you were my sister in your previous life, and I can't let you sacrifice you......"
Anas was scolded so red that his face was red, and his neck was leaned on with grievances, and he was completely choked up after complaining.
Hera also stared at Alice sadly, and her two reddening eyes slowly swelled with sparkling moisture.
"Arras, listen to my sister's words, you must do things carefully and clearly in the future, and you must not be reckless. This is the most critical period, and if we make the slightest mistake, all our plans will be lost. We are all Titans, and death is not the end of eternity for us, sister, I just exist in another form, by your side and my mother......"
Alice's voice grew more and more shaky, and behind the mask, her decayed and tattered face was also sad.
Alice ?...... Don't...... Are you trying to ......?"
Hera stared at Alice in horror, her horrified and distorted face visible from her sleek gold mask.
Alice nodded firmly, and said in a resolute voice:
"If you don't get rid of this cumbersome body, it will be difficult to turn into the most poisonous and fierce "Gu"!
Alice ...... My daughter ......"
Hera sobbed and threw herself in front of Alice, reaching out to slowly remove the mask that had covered her face.
Once, as Alice's biological mother in her previous life, Hera was also afraid and disgusted by Alice's disfigured face, and she would not and never wanted to take the initiative to look at it.
But at this moment, Hera's heart suddenly rushed to a very strong emotion, and she wished that she would keep looking at Alice and let her stay by her side.
Perhaps, when the moment of true parting comes, we can perceive the preciousness of staying with each other. Only when you lose will you know how to cherish it......
Hera was in tears, her warm fingertips caressing Alice's hair, and then she didn't hesitate to fall on her bumpy and broken skin.
"Mother's ......"
Alice also cried rarely, and looked at Hera for a long time, her eyes sad and nostalgic.
"Mother, I can no longer be by your side, and you will have to be more careful when facing the gods on the Holy Mountain in the future...... Aras is brave and able to fight, but he has no strategy, and you have to be patient to cultivate him a lot. As long as he becomes the next god of the gods, you have sustenance, and you will not ...... I was tormented by the emotions of grief and indignation all day long......"
"I know...... I know...... I'll keep ...... in mind."
Hera cried and nodded vigorously.
"Sister...... Sister!"
Arras also pounced, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a long time......
At this time, Alice had already made up her mind, even if she tried her best and consumed all her divine power sources, she would help the plan to destroy the world succeed and put her brother Arras on the highest throne-
