Chapter 18: The Ladder to the Cold Sky (1)
“... Zeus......
"How so? this time...... Zeus and the Queen of Heaven came forward directly......"
On the ground, Karete looked directly at the male and female gods that appeared in the sky, and for a while she wondered if she was in a terrifying dream at the moment.
Bai Xiu was uneasy but helpless. His worst fears had finally happened, but it had not yet given birth to Carret.
He doesn't need to think about it, he knows that today will definitely not be the luck he was when he was in Japan last time, and if he wants to escape Olympus's pursuit again, there will inevitably be a fierce battle to the death.
Turning his eyes quietly, looking at Karete's bloated abdomen, Bai Xiu was sweating all over.
Zeus stood steadily in the air a hundred meters above him, handed the map in his hand to Hera, and turned his arms backwards.
Looking down at the sky below, his gaze swept over Bai Xiu, the moon god Artimis and Jose with contempt, and without direct action, the three on the ground were locked in three balls glowing with purple-blue light, and immediately rose into the air with the three spheres. The volume of each ball was not large, and the internal space only allowed the three of them to sit or curl up, feeling unusually unpleasant.
"Karete?...... Carette!"
"What is this? Let us out!"
"Damn, everyone, think of a way, you can't let Kareta face Zeus alone!"
Bai Xiu and the three of them fought for a while in their respective balls, but to no avail. He Zi was extremely anxious, and his two fists smashed the inner wall of the ball, and the bones of his hand were almost shattered, and he could not be freed from his captivity.
Seeing Carreta safe and sound, Jose couldn't help but be even more anxious. He knew that Zeus's purpose in separating the three of them from her was to poison her!
Carette held her head high, and in the brief eye contact with Zeus, she could clearly see his physical appearance.
He was dressed in a precious robe and brocade robe, still shining in the afterglow of the setting sun, with a large swing and sleeves swaggering in the breeze, showing his unique identity all the time.
There was nothing unusual about it, but it was his unusual appearance that caught Carette's special attention.
In my memory, Zeus, the god of all gods, especially loves neat and neat makeup, short blond hair all day long, and his noble divine power source is quietly scattered all over his body, and the breath of the king is dyed with brilliant brilliance between the blonde hair from time to time, and it is full of charm.
At this moment, Zeus's blonde hair is dark and dry, even the light of the noble brocade clothes still can't decorate him, and if you look closely, the figure in the air is faintly shrouded in a scarlet light.
His facial features are no longer as handsome and elegant as before, his face is as pale as a serious illness, his lips are blue, his eyebrows are straight, and he is extremely weird and perverse.
This figure...... Is it really Zeus, the god of the gods?
What happened to Zeus? What happened to Olympus a few days after we left it?
The little princess in her womb made a fuss for no reason, rolling and kicking in Karete's body, as if to convey a terrible message to her mother.
Don't make a fuss...... Don't make a fuss, little darling......
Kareta secretly soothed her.
Don't be afraid, Mommy is here, Mommy won't let you be in any danger. We've been through several battles together, and you have to trust your mother to protect you with her life......
Sensing the mother's heart, the little life finally quieted down and stopped playing around.
At this moment, while many questions about Zeus arose, Carreta suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart......
Hera was with Zeus. Ever since Hermes betrayed and was executed on the spot by Zeus, she has been following the gods of all gods in his place. For Zeus today, only Hera, the queen of heaven, is worth trusting.
Seeing that neither of the father and daughter spoke after the official meeting, Hera lowered her eyes and shouted angrily downward:
"Carret, are you guilty, and José, who deceived the great god and conspired with him, defected with him. He also changed his fortune against the sky, relying on the source of divine power to make a heavenly map to save mankind, which is simply contrary to the holy mountain, ignoring the laws and disciplines of the gods!"
Glancing twice at the map in her hand, Hera smiled contemptuously, and continued:
"What a big breath, little messenger, do you know how big the sky is—"
"As big as the heart, as big as the sky, as big as the hope!"
On the ground, Kareta replied to Hera with a resolute expression, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You!"
Hera was so angry that she couldn't think of anything to say to go back for a while, so she could only stare at the ground.
Zeus looked at the three floating in the sky below, and then turned his gaze back to Karete.
"My scepter, the 'oracle', but in your hands?"
"Yes. ”
Kareta glanced at the map in Hera's hand, and asked questions.
"Okay, hand it over!"
After Zeus finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand high and approached the Mitian map beside him.
Carreta knew that Zeus was demonstrating against her by this action:
You'd better be obedient, or I'll take extraordinary measures to destroy the Heavens!
"Zeus, let me out, let me come!"
Bai Xiu bent his whole body and shouted loudly at the sky outside through the ball of purple and blue light.
Zeus didn't respond, just smiled lightly at Kareta, and two blood-red flashes flashed in his dark eyes.
A long staircase stretched straight from his feet into the air, cascading down in front of Karet. Its whole body is translucent, and it is scattered with cold white and cold air, even if it is a few meters away, it is not difficult to make people get goosebumps from its wanton cold.
This is......
Not only Carret, but also Bai Xiu, Moon God, and Jose, who were locked in the ball of light, were also amazed by this abrupt thing that fell from the sky at this moment.
This staircase is clearly made of biting ice!
"I, as long as Kareta walks alone!"
Zeus finally responded to Bai Xiu's words just now, and as soon as his voice came out, it was like the ice ladder that he had changed with his own hands, and his tone was full of coldness.
Seeing her stunned, he smiled with satisfaction, and continued:
"Kareta, I want you to take off your shoes immediately, climb this one hundred and eight steps of the Coldest Heaven Ladder barefoot, walk to my feet, and personally return the Oracle Scepter to my hands!"
"It's too much!"
Jose couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted directly without waiting for Carette to pervert.
Looking at the long, steep ladder that reflected the amber glimmer in the setting sun, José shivered all over his body.
One hundred and eight sections, even ordinary people, climbing the same number of ordinary steps will be tired and panting, not to mention that this staircase is still cold texture, stepping on it is smooth and slippery, and it is difficult to stand firm at all.
Now that Kareta is not as pregnant as before, she has been pregnant for half a year, and her body is heavy, how can she withstand such a setback? It is clear that Zeus and Hera, the two vicious gods, are bent on making things difficult.
"Zeus, let me go! I am willing to climb the ladder of heaven instead of Kareta and fight you in a dignified manner! The tiger is poisonous, Kareta is your daughter, pregnant and pregnant, you actually use such cruel means to torture her, what a god is really vain!"
Jose is inside the purple and blue light ball, and the kneeling posture is always uncomfortable. He kept struggling, shouting outside.
Jose wanted to provoke Zeus, so that he might have been able to attack head-on because he had been provoked, instead of using his vicious moves to humiliate Kareta in every way.
"What are you talking about, stupid guy! God says punishment is punishment!"
Hera cursed, her eyes flashing with light, she had already sensed José's thoughts, and angrily waved her arms towards the three orbs of light in the distance.
Hera didn't want Zeus to come into direct conflict with the defectors. For her, only by witnessing Carreta being tortured by more extreme and perverted punishment methods did she feel more enjoyable and relieved of her hatred!
As soon as the words fell, clusters of electricity erupted from the three balls of light, and the fierce and white light waves collided and floated through Jose's body violently, as if a sharp knife mountain was cutting their bodies, bringing unbearable pain.
The three of them all showed painful expressions, and the sound of shouting and moaning was completely swallowed by the sound of "Nga Ya".
"Jose, Artemis!"
Kareta shouted at them gloomily, knowing that the three of them at this time must not be able to bear it anymore, so they would show such painful expressions.
"Kareta, don't waste each other's time......"
At this time, Zeus approached the fingers of the right hand of the Mitian Diagram and suddenly jumped up a cluster of tiny red flames, and the firelight bounced very restlessly with the wind in the sky, and it quickly burned on the cloth scroll of the Mitian Diagram several times.
Kareta watched in horror on the ground, and was on the verge of screaming several times.
Weaving the Heavens Diagram has almost exhausted her source of divine power and essence blood, and once the Diagram is destroyed, the many humans in the infinite space within the Diagram will also fall into a state of no return.
Zeus took in the full change in Karete's expression. He smiled smugly and sinisterly, and once again threatened with violentness:
"You should know the power of the Heavenly Thunder and Fire! Now all your hard work will be in vain with just a little spark! I don't have much patience, come over and exchange the oracle scepter for your Heavenly Map!"
"Okay! I'll see you!"
Carette no longer hesitated, and suddenly spoke into the sky, her voice clear and loud.
"Karete!"
"Kareta, don't believe him!"
Hearing Carret's answer, Jose's three hearts immediately rose to their throats. They continued to struggle violently to break free from their captivity.
"Don't worry about me! I'm going to get it back no matter what. Jose, I'm going to ...... to your parents There are also many other human beings who are included in the diagram who are responsible for their safety. ”
Kareta said with a resolute expression, and turned to walk towards the ladder.
José was startled, no longer persuaded more, and watched her every move intently.
Walking to the front of the first step of the ladder, Kareta raised her right arm in the air. Suddenly, a ray of golden light fell from the sky, and was held in the palm of Karete's hand. The light condensed into the form of a two-winged staff.
"Oracle?!" Hera exclaimed in the air, then turned her head and squinted at Zeus:
"Great God, your scepter was indeed taken by Karetta! Despite your heavenly power, you have honored yourself as the 'God of Harmony', and the rebellious Athena and Hades are worshiped by the gods, such a great crime of disrespect should be punished——"
Zeus was angry in his heart, but he didn't show too much emotion on his face, just smiled indifferently and said in a dark voice:
"Don't worry, we'll play with her slowly......"
