Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sisyphus's Scheme
Sleeping god Hypnos slept peacefully on a high platform, not only did he have the power to make people sleep, but he also loved to sleep.
But Hypnos slept differently this time, and even Sisyphus outside the high platform could see it. The god of sleep lay on the high platform, curled up like a newborn baby, breathing very softly, but with each breath, it drove the whole high platform to tremble, as if it was the pulse of heaven and earth.
Above the god of sleep, there is a chaotic space floating, and the ghosts of the dead in the spire are all thrown into this seemingly small space, also sleeping peacefully.
When the god of death Taratona saw Sisyphus coming in, his cold eyes were full of murderous intent, and his silver hair was as sharp as a blade.
"Blasphemous human, look, Hypnos is asleep. When he woke up, this strange platform could no longer trap us. When the time comes, no matter who you are, you will not be able to escape the sanction of death. ”
When he said these words, Taratona couldn't hide the anger in his heart. In order to break through the realm and become the main god, he began to travel around the human world decades ago, harvesting the souls of the dead everywhere, taking them to the underworld, and at the same time feeling the breath and laws between life and death.
But when he came to the land of Corinth a few months ago, he didn't see a single dying man. He learned from the humans here, and only then did he know that these dying people were forced into this strange spire by the king of Corinth, Sisyphus, in front of him, and no soul came out.
The fearless Grim Reaper Talatona, with his Death Scythe, entered the tower directly. When he entered, he found that there were many dying people gathered here, as well as the spirits of the undead who could not get out. On a high platform in the center, there are many legendary warriors of mankind, who are alive or dead.
The Grim Reaper, who had obtained the treasure, did not hesitate and went directly to the high platform, ready to harvest these undead. However, when he came to the stage to harvest the undead, he sadly found that he could not leave the high platform.
Then, through a unique telepathy, he contacted his brother, the sleeping god Hypnos. When his brother came to save him, he was also trapped on this high platform.
As a result, the left and right arms of Hades, who were turned into the gods by the gods as the gods of death and sleep of the twin planets of the underworld, were trapped in this strange tower, accompanied by the dying and the undead, and could not get out by any means.
Not only that, but this strange platform seems to be constantly stripping away their divine powers, escaping into the tower, being studied by the hateful human Sisyphus, which makes the god of death even more angry.
But just yesterday, the gentle god of sleep suddenly said to the god of death that he had sensed the opportunity to become the main god, and was about to fall asleep, and when he awoke, the high platform could no longer trap him.
Hearing that the god of sleep was going to become the main god, Sisyphus's eyes changed, according to Gaibu and him, due to the limitations of materials and laws, this high platform can only restrict the gods below the main god.
Then, Sisyphus shook his head and smiled again, so what, he was one last step away. When he took that step, he hid in the sea, and he probably guessed something about the changes in the sea a few months ago, and the gods of Olympus did not dare to act recklessly in the place of Pontus.
Thinking of this, Sisyphus sighed slowly, and then his entire body was surrounded by the red divine fire in his body, like a fire man.
Time is running out, and he can't wait any longer, so he can only take this step now.
And the god of death who was glaring at Sisyphus on the high platform was shocked, what was this human going to do, could it be that he would commit suicide because of the threat of his words?
He was thinking too much, and his control over death was nowhere near the point where a single word could make a demigod kill himself. In a word, I am afraid that only some of the most powerful supernatural beings can do it. Obviously, these great supernatural beings do not include him, the god of death.
The moment the flame rose, Sisyphus felt the pain, but he didn't care about it, just naturally recalled his life.
When he was young, he was taught by his father, the first legendary hero of mankind, to protect humanity and protect the tribe;
After becoming a legend, he wandered around and showed mercy everywhere, and was called the most popular legend by human beings;
During the Typhon Rebellion, he fought many monsters, but unfortunately he was defeated after all, and he turned his back on his people and fled, which was his eternal pain, but he never regretted it, only by living, there was hope;
After the creation of the new man, he opened the city of Corinth, became a king, and with nothing to do, he opened the way to hook up with women everywhere, learning from those so-called gods;
Then he was approached by his teacher Iasion, and when he knew the path of the demigods, the path of the gods, he let go of everything and dismissed the harem that was reluctant to give up on him, and was determined to pursue the way to become a god, hoping to confront those gods he couldn't see;
The death of his teacher Iathion undoubtedly had the greatest impact on him, he changed his plan to become a god silently, and began to find a way to steal divinity, and the kidnapping of the god of death was for this purpose, who expected to be attached to a sleeping god;
Although the divinity stole a little, Sisyphus did not take this path, and three months of research on the divine power of these two gods gave him the confidence to ignite the soul and body and obtain the divinity in one step.
Sisyphus's body twisted, and the pain of burning his soul was far from being compared to the burning of his body, but his countenance was still serene, a serenity he had never experienced.
Then, a silver sea of divinity poured out of his heart, and it seemed to fall from the sky, so real, soaking his soul in it, and an indescribable comfort and joy flowed through his heart.
Sisyphus was so immersed in the comfort and joy that he didn't even notice that a bolt of lightning had cut off most of the minaret he had made, exposing it to the blue sky.
The squabbling gods of Olympus have arrived in Corinth and found the kidnapped brothers Death and Sleep.
It was also at this time that the sleeping god of sleep, Hypnos, finally woke up, he seemed to be awakened by thunder, and seemed to wake up naturally, stretched a lazy waist, and then looked at the place where he was, and frowned.
With a sound of "Peng", the high platform shattered, and it could not withstand the law divine power of the main god.
Hades, the king of Hades, looked at him with joy, one of his most powerful assistants, the god of sleep, had finally become the main god, and presumably the god of death should not be far away.
And Sisyphus, immersed in the sea of divinity, knew nothing about everything in front of him, and his soul still wandered happily in the sea of divinity.
Hades looked at this hateful human with a cold face, snorted coldly, and a black light hit Sisyphus, and he wanted to let this demigod die, and then go to the underworld to concoct his soul.
All the other gods did not make a move, and Hades in a fit of rage, even the two brothers Zeus and Poseidon felt terrified, not to mention the other gods.
Unexpectedly, a starlight rose from Sisyphus, blocking the black light.
"Sisyphus, the lord of Corinth, became a god in man, a god of the court of stars, a lord of the greedy wolf, and the head of the gods of the stars who ruled over their desires. ”
