Chapter 9: The End of the World Comes
"Damn—"
Zeus stared at the fallen body of the ambassador in annoyance, and said secretly in his heart:
Not only did he sacrifice all his life to seal the nine-ball instrument made by the creator god Maya, but he also escaped with my scepter 'oracle' in the way of the original spirit. However, you have been mortally wounded, and the escaped Yuan Ling may never have a chance to return to this body-
Turning sharply to face the audience, Zeus set his eyes on Croto, the goddess of fate.
Croto also noticed Zeus at this time.
Not good –
Croto guessed nine times out of ten about Zeus's intentions, and without saying a word, her whole body quickly exploded, and the source power in her body instantly rose to the highest.
Zeus saw a layer of cold purple light suddenly spilling out of Croto's body, and he knew that she wanted to cut herself, so he hurriedly raised his left foot and used a heavy source force to step towards the ground.
After the sound of the galaxy breaking, the Holy Legion on the periphery was blasted into the air by Zeus's attack. Taking advantage of this gap of less than half a second, Zeus threw his palms over.
The powerful suction grasped Croto's body with unmistakable precision, and then retreated violently, pulling the goddess of fate close to Zeus.
Zeus spread out his five iron fingers and grabbed Croto's neck fiercely.
"You can't do it when you're dead......"
He lowered his head, and brought his viciously deformed face a few closer to her:
"You're going to tell me all the secrets you know!"
"Don't think about it...... I won't say it if I die!"
Croto glared at Zeus resentfully, struggling to pronounce his words in his pincer-like confinement, but every hint of his voice was thick and clear, as clear as her irrevocable attitude.
Zeus smiled evilly at her: "I never said it, you have to tell me yourself!"
“......”
Croto had a premonition that something was wrong, and he looked stunned.
Zeus reversed his other hand, palm down on top of Crowe's head.
"Zeus, I'd rather die with you—"
Croto roared, and his whole body was once again covered in the purple light he had just had.
Witnessing the death of her companions one after another, she wanted to finally take a gamble and use the explosion of divine power in her body to reduce Zeus together.
And Zeus had already expected her hand, and when she drew the source of divine power, he also sent a death blow to the source power, and reached the source power of Croto with the power of red light.
Croto only felt that the power of her whole body that had reached the apex of life was completely fixed by a counterforce, so that her divine power could no longer operate as she wanted, and even her body could not move at will.
She couldn't move freely, but Zeus didn't stop for a moment.
A strange but striking bright red on his arm, which was half-exposed outside the large sleeves of his fine clothes and clutched at the neck of the goddess of fate, spread rapidly along the large and small meridians of the arm to his five fingers, and then from the five fingertips to Croto's neck, and in the blink of an eye, it climbed like a vine towards her skull.
Unable to help himself, Croto's two pupils twitched, and they all rolled behind their eyelids.
At the same time, a pale golden light emerged from her forehead, carrying a stream of distorted images into Zeus's forehead and directly into his brain.
......
After a long time, the celestial phenomenon Jiuyi was silent again.
Zeus withdrew his source power and threw Croto's body to the ground, indifferently looking at her eyeholes that had stretched to the limit but were all whites, and a slight uninhibited smile swept over her evil face.
"Hmph! Titan, the god of reconciliation...... I don't believe what a good wave she can make!"
As he muttered to himself, Zeus slowly walked to the bottom of the field, his legs over a godly body, his feet stepping through countless blood, and he did not have any fear or stomach reaction to the viscous liquid that was still warm and the moaning and aching sound around his body.
The god of war, Aras, who controlled the scene, saw Zeus approaching, and quickly wiped the blood on his body, bent down on one knee and bowed:
"God, I've frightened you. The subordinates fortunately fulfilled their mission and have wiped out all the rebels. ”
"Great God! Great God...... I beg your pardon, forgive me, Father, I am not a rebel!"
The sun god Apollo was beside Arras, and when he saw Zeus, he was prostrate on the ground, begging for mercy again and again, not asking what was going on, and not even daring to argue for himself.
Arras tilted his head slightly and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Zeus walked over to the two kneeling gods and stopped, his eagle's eyes fixed on Apollo, who was shaking like chaff.
"The sun god, Artimis betrayed Olympus and fled with Carret, Pacius, and the human man Jose. As the brother of Artimis and the god I have always held in high esteem, this is a matter of ...... Let's see for yourself......"
"Yes! Yes, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Before Zeus could finish his reprimand, Apollo was already lying on the ground, his face pressed against the ground.
Arras, who was beside him, glanced sideways at him again, and muttered disdainfully:
"What a god who came home......"
Hera, the goddess of blessings, emerged from behind a marble pillar and walked up to Zeus. Just when the god of war Aras led the team to rush into the celestial Jiuyi, she had already secretly exchanged news, and she hurriedly took her personal maid to hide to avoid the disaster.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing Hera, Zeus asked and handed out a hand.
Hera understood, and pulled it to her husband's side.
"I'm fine, God. Now that all the gods who have been unfaithful to us have been duly punished, what are we to do next?"
"It's also to blame me for underestimating Hermis, now that the nine-ball instrument that is enough to destroy the world in one fell swoop has been banned by him, we can only rely on our own strength to go step by step......"
Zeus looked depressedly into the air at the nine floating spheres.
Originally, he wanted to join forces with Athena and directly change the trajectory of the nine balls with the source force. As long as the trajectory of this precision instrument changes even slightly, or even stops for half a minute, the entire universe will be turned upside down, and that change will directly destroy everything on the earth.
However, the plan he had made with all his calculations was finally destroyed in the hands of the ambassador Hermis. At the cost of his life, he conjured up an indestructible forbidden power, so that the operation of the Nine-Ball Instrument could no longer be controlled by the source power of any god, or it could be changed.
Hera understood that Zeus was in great distress, so he comforted him:
"Great God, you don't have to worry about the matter of the Heavenly Phenomena and Nine Instruments, I will choose a few countries later, and arrange for the four goddesses of spring, summer, autumn and winter to go to the human world to destroy them directly, just let their sisters try their knives. ”
"Don't worry, Queen, we still have something to do before disaster strikes. Arras, it's up to you!"
Zeus glanced sideways at the god of war.
Arras immediately came to his senses, got up and walked out of the celestial nine instruments, and Zeus followed behind him with Hera.
In the open field outside the temple, Arras spread his legs slightly, and stood still. Pursing his lips, he looked into the distance and slowly raised his arms, clenched his fists violently, and began to charge up frantically.
Suddenly, the infinite source power rushed out of his body, straight towards Xiao Han, and the strong and fierce momentum swept through the air, and immediately gave birth to countless bands of silver-white light of meteor lightning, weaving a semicircular net in the vast dome, and collecting the entire Olympus Holy Mountain in the net.
Arras is still accumulating.
For a moment, the muscles in all parts of his body seemed to be filled with gas and expanded to the limit, and the blood vessels were so tight that they bulged. After a few crackling sounds, his shirt and trousers were torn everywhere.
Looking at his two feet again, he has made footprints a few centimeters deep on the dry and hard earth at this moment.
"It's time to do it, Arras!"
Behind it, Zeus couldn't wait to prompt a word.
Alaston's eyes widened, and he involuntarily roared:
"Ahh
At the same time as this shout, the infinite source power enveloped by the bright white light net gathered momentum, and quickly gathered into a fierce lifting force, uprooting the holy mountain, breaking away from the Cretan island, and slowly rising into the air.
The "boom" rattle hurt Hera's eardrums, and she felt like she had completely lost her hearing. When her mind was blank, the mountains shook under her feet, and she struggled twice but still couldn't stand firm, and Zeus held her up in time.
"Great God...... God, I'm so sorry, I lost my temper. Our long-cherished wish has finally come true. ”
Zeus didn't pay any attention to Hera's embarrassment, but focused on the god of war Arras, who was casting a spell to lift Olympus into the air, and there was some uncertainty and complexity in his expression......
The Human World, Crete –
After the anomalous power fell from the sky, the sacred mountain Olympus, which had stood on the island for thousands of years, disappeared. It was dinner time, and the island's residents had just finished their day's work and returned home to enjoy the warmest moment of the day, and no one could have imagined that a catastrophe would happen without warning.
The strong earthquake at the foot interrupted people from enjoying a hearty dinner or reuniting with family and friends, and the sea rushed against the current, setting off waves hundreds of meters high before rushing ashore. The rocks and trees carried by the ascension of the sacred mountain rolled down from the edge of the fractured surface, and the power of descending to the ground was not inferior to that of explosives and cannonballs, directly smashing countless houses.
Innocent people were swallowed up by the waves or buried under collapsed buildings before they could flee for help.
The mutilated island of Crete was not survived by the anomalous destruction, and soon after the catastrophe, the magical island that had hosted a thousand years of civilization sank into the depths of the raging sea.
Beijing, China –
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because it is a traditional festival, Jose specially invited Bai Xiu and Artimis, and everyone gathered at the Dutch house to celebrate the New Year together.
Bai Xiu is introverted and erudite, and naturally has an understanding of the traditional culture of the Chinese. Artimis beside him didn't know much about her, but fortunately, she was lively and eloquent, and her hands were very diligent, and she chatted with Jose's parents while preparing the New Year's dinner, and soon won the favor of Jose's parents. However, during an afternoon of getting along, the old couple also learned that she and the handsome young man named Bai Xiu were a couple.
It was almost early in the morning, and the Jose family was still eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala from the LCD TV hanging on the ceiling of the dining room.
"Wow, this song and dance is awesome, and the sound, light, and sound effects are good!"
Artemis took a bite of the sweet and sour fish that Jose's mother had given her, and happily opened the conversation again.
"You young people don't know that this Central Station's Spring Festival Gala has been around for some years. I remember when I was a child, I was looking forward to the New Year, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, all my relatives and friends came to my grandmother's house to pay their respects, and the whole family also sat down at this time to watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala while having Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. At twelve o'clock in the evening, the little ones set off firecrackers together. It's a pity, now the country advocates environmental protection and prohibits fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival, and the New Year's flavor is much worse than before!"
As he ate, José's father told Artemis about the past.
Bai Xiu took the opportunity to pour beer into the empty glass in the old man's hand.
"Uncle, aunt, thank you for inviting me and my girlfriend to come over to experience the foreign culture, and specially cooked a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. You have worked hard, I respect you two elders. ”
Bai Xiu raised his wine glass and toasted to the second elder, who had been busy for most of the day.
"Jose, thank you for taking care of my sister Carret. ”
"Good brother, don't talk nonsense, it's done!"
Thinking about all kinds of past events in his heart, Jose was in a very excited mood at this time, and picked up a full glass of beer and collided with Bai Xiu's wine glass.
"Now for the latest international news ......"
The variety show on the LCD TV was suddenly replaced by the picture of the news broadcast. Inside, the host in full suit preached with a solemn expression:
"In the latest news, the Olympus Mountains, known as the 'holy mountain' in Greece, disappeared at 5:50 p.m. local time. After about five minutes, Crete sank completely into the sea. This catastrophe caused all the inhabitants of the island to be killed, and none of them were spared......"
"What are you doing? It's actually a news jam at this time......"
Hussey's father said dissatisfiedly, and his heart was also creepy.
Jose's mother slapped her chest and her face changed:
"Oh, what a sin! How could it be...... It's a Greek ......."
The old couple cautiously looked at the three foreign guests, who were already shocked by the sudden news, as if they had been transformed into three wax figures that had been air-dried.
