Chapter 20: Father and Daughter Turn Against Each Other
At this time, the ice ladder, starting from the first section, broke up one by one along the place where Kareta walked, and then shattered into pieces of hard ice, and kept falling into the air.
Under the deep blue night sky, the broken ice cubes were angular and flickering with a cold cold light as they fell, leaving a bright but cold light in the dark night like a fleeting meteor.
"Carrete! be careful—"
"Watch ...... behind you"
"Kareta, stand up!"
Jose, Perse, and Artimis were frightened by the sudden change on the Ladder of Heaven. They all wanted to rush out immediately and fly back to safety with Karetta, but they still couldn't get out of the predicament at the moment.
The splintering continued, not as fast as it was, but Kareta had already fallen on the ice ladder, and if she couldn't get up and move on, it wouldn't be long before the break would extend to the one she was on.
In that case, the consequences are really unimaginable!
Kareta turned her head, and she saw the terrible changes that had happened behind her.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up immediately, when something unusual suddenly felt under her feet.
Kareta looked down in surprise and realized that at some point, her right foot had been completely frozen from the ankle down in the ice ladder she was on. She tried her best to pull her right foot out, but the ice was so hard and firm that she couldn't shake it.
Hera looked at it from a high place and laughed gloatingly:
"Oh, hehehe, mother-to-be, you have to move quickly! if you drag it out, the ladder below you will be shattered, and you and the contents of your stomach will fall together!"
Kareta looked up in anger and glared at Hera twice, then closed her mouth and inhaled deeply, then deepened the scattering of the source force even more. When she arrived, the golden light that gathered around her was much brighter again.
The ice that had frozen her right foot melted just right, just enough to release the bare foot, which was red from the cold.
Kareta stood up again leaning on the oracle scepter, and began to move on as the ladder split twenty knots away from hers.
Jose and the other three temporarily put the matter of fighting in the ball of light, and watched Carreta continue to move forward with great concern. And the rupture of the back road has never stopped, and it is also chasing the speed of Kareta along the way.
Finally, without looking back, Caret walked up to the highest point, the one hundred and eighth ice ladder, and stood opposite Zeus.
Zeus stopped his despicable spells at this moment, and after the 107th Ice Ladder was broken, the extension of the Ladder finally stopped.
In the depths of winter at night, the cool breeze was biting and full of strength, and the night wind swept through the bodies of the three opposing gods one after another, mercilessly piercing the woolen dress on Karet's body. She stood barefoot, straight on the last icy step, with no fear on her face.
After stabilizing her mind a little, Kareta adjusted her breathing, and sent the "oracle" scepter to Zeus with both hands, with a resolute and unhurried expression.
"I've come to see you, I'll take back the Heavenly Map from you! The scepter is returned, I have no intention of being the god of reconciliation!"
Zeus silently took the scepter, raised one end of his eyebrows, and stared at Kareta's beautiful but dusty face for a long time, ignoring the slightly more colorful expression of Hera, the goddess of blessings.
"Please return the Atlas at once!" said Kareta again.
Hera tightened her grip on the roll of cloth and turned to look at Zeus, waiting for his next move.
"Get on your knees!"
Caught off guard, Zeus gave an order to Carette, his face was cold, and his tone was also cold.
Kareta stared at him intently, her expression resolute:
"I'm not guilty!"
"Bold!"
Hera had always hated to be left out in the cold, even in situations like these.
Seeing the confrontation between father and daughter, Carette spoke against Zeus, and she couldn't help but interject angrily and reproached Carette:
"The great god is merciful, thank you for your self-sacrifice to retrieve the Athena Gem, for your contribution to the Holy Mountain, and for the great cause of the revival of the Titans, so that you and the evil seed you conceive have survived to this day. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also secretly colluded with the underworld and defected to Olympus?!
Kareta rolled her eyes to Hera and sneered a few times. Hera's words evoked her memories, and for a while, the old hatred and new hatred were vivid.
"Thanksgiving? huh...... Fry the same race, exclude dissidents, destroy the world, slaughter, and cause chaos to the people...... Could this be the purpose of our Olympus god reincarnation?!"
Zeus's eyes flickered, and when Carret's angry questioning was over, he curled his purple lips in the most disdainful sneer.
"I confess that for the sake of Olympus' kingship and inheritance, I have done all the evil things to my kind, especially by using you to destroy the Dark Clan. The death of the dark god has made you hate me......"
Zeus said as he carefully observed the changes in Karete's expression.
When the dark god Demos was mentioned, he caught a deep chasm of resentment rising from the skin between Carette's slender eyebrows.
Zeus paused, his smile vicious and smug. He then went on to say righteously:
"But. God created this world, but human beings don't know how to cherish it, and not only do they disrespect the gods, but they also excessively destroy the environment in which they come from.
I'm just taking steps to make amends for a world that's already in tatters. In dealing with the wicked, we must punish them with more vicious means! What is wrong with curing evil with evil? Isn't human beings often saying: The means are only the process, and the result is the most important thing!
Kareta shook her head helplessly and said sadly:
"Humans are wrong, but not all humans are evil. Even if the gods created the world and created mankind, they have no right to decide the fate of the world, let alone the right to deprive human beings of their lives at will—"
"Presumptuous, Carlete, you are so bold that you dare to question the actions of the great gods!"
Hera rolled her eyes and twisted her eyebrows: "Great God, you can't keep her anymore, immediately destroy the Yuan Spirit of the defectors, and then destroy the Mitian Map!"
Zeus waved his arm at Hera decisively, signaling her not to be clever. Hera immediately shut her mouth, but her face was full of disbelief.
"Sure enough, you have the courage ......"
Zeus stared at Kareta, and his obedient expression barely eased: "It deserves to be the supreme god of my Titans...... The God of Harmony ......"
“......”
"Don't be nervous, Karete. Jose's words are indeed reasonable, the tiger poison does not eat children, you were my daughter in the previous life, and now your status in the god clan is extremely special, although I am the god of all gods, what can I do to you?"
“...... What do you want?"
Zeus's attitude and tone suddenly reversed 180 degrees, which made Kareta vigilant.
"The God of Harmony is the supreme highest, the true leader who is completely above the gods of all gods and rules over the entire Protoss. Karet, since you have unrivaled power, why don't you choose to help your father, and you and I will join forces to build the kingdom of God?
When the great cause is completed, I will promote you as the next leader of the whole race, you like humans, you can set up an area in a certain part of the world for humans to recuperate, okay?"
"Big... Great God?"
Hera was dumbfounded, and turned her face sharply to look at Zeus, puzzled by his sudden transformation.
In her heart, the only god who can inherit the golden throne of Zeus and inherit the inheritance of the Titans, from the age of mythology to the present, is only her son Anas, the god of war!
But at this moment, listening to Zeus's meaning, he instantly wanted to promote his daughter Carret, and he didn't even consider Apollo, the sun god he had always loved.
"I will not be an accomplice to the executioner!
Carette was unmoved, and looked directly at Zeus, raising her hands and making a gesture to receive the picture.
She knew very well in her heart, where could things be as easy as Zeus said?
Demos, Athena, Venus, and Hermes, the ambassador who had always been loyal to the Protoss, had all died at his hands, and he had already turned his face with him, so how could he let himself go.
Now that he is performing like this, it is nothing more than coveting the source of divine power in his body and fearing the legend of the god of harmony!
Hera could not continue to endure this stalemate, and even if Zeus had made a lie to Karete, she heard a hundred claws scratching her heart when she heard it, and her eyes squinted and threatened:
"Don't toast and don't eat and drink, do you still have a choice? Don't forget, the treasure map of salvation that you have worked so hard to make is now in our hands!"
“...... It's dirty!"
Kareta stared coldly at Hera, her cold and numb expression of irrepressible anger. Her lips opened slightly, and she squeezed out a word-by-word curse from between her teeth:
"The thought of being of the same race as you, and the blood that flows through my body that is the same as yours, makes me feel so sick—"
"What do you say...... God, did you hear her, she cursed us, cursed the entire Titans!"
Hera was startled, and then put on a frightened and pretentious appearance, and kept making irresponsible remarks, trying her best to provoke.
“......”
Zeus silently widened his eyes, the whites of his dim eyes filled with purple-red blood. Quietly staring at Kareta for two seconds, he slowly asked in a deep voice:
"In that case...... Do you dare to say it again?"
"I feel extremely sad and ashamed to be of the same race as you murderous gods!"
"Shut up—"
Zeus, who had been sternly rebuffed, became angry, and roared at Kareta as he roared out, turning into a strong wind and swept towards her.
Kareta couldn't help but squint, her long hair and the hem of her long skirt pulled behind her by the strong wind. It was at this moment that she saw another blurry, mangled face emerge next to Zeus's face, which had been distorted by extreme rage.
Kareta was startled and hurriedly looked closely.
A crunch sound came from under her feet, and the last ice ladder that carried her body shattered at this moment, and her body suddenly emptied, and she fell high into the air with many broken ice chips......
