Chapter 41: Changes in the Mother Box
"That war was once the largest war that could break out in this world."
"Countless people have died, the blood of heroes has stained the rivers red, and even some demigods and weak gods have fallen in the war, but the price we paid has been rewarded in the end."
Hippolyta recounts the past she has witnessed.
"Led by the gods, the invaders from beyond the heavens were sent back to the stars."
"We, the Amazons, Atlantis, and all races of humanity, have participated in this war."
"And after the victory, the invaders left behind the treasure of civilization that they were proud of, the Mother Box."
"It has the power to transform a world, but after all, before it can be activated, we went deep into the enemy's belly, and the Heavenly Father Zeus sent a powerful blow, and personally interrupted the storage of the mother box with thunder power, splitting it into three, and finally the mother box remained on the earth."
After Hippolyta finished speaking, she paused, and continued to add.
"Due to the sheer power of the Mother Box that cannot be easily controlled, and the danger that it could lead the invaders back, Zeus decided to seal the Mother Box and keep it guarded separately."
"And one of the mother boxes is the mother box that the Heavenly Father Zeus handed over to me to seal the Amazons to take care of, that is, the mother box in front of you."
"The day before yesterday, when Ares attacked, I already had a premonition of danger coming, so I made arrangements here in advance."
Hippolyta pointed to the ground beneath their feet.
"This temple of the sky is not only the place where the seal guards the mother box, but also the activation circle engraved with the legendary magic - God's blessing that Zeus once personally sealed, as long as the blood of our Amazons contains divinity is used, it can be guided by the power of the mother box to inspire the legendary magic - God's blessing. Thus giving all the Amazon warriors great power. β
"I see..."
Chen Sheng thought about it, on the day of the battle against Ares and Erio, he naturally felt that Paradise Island was enveloped by an invisible strong magic energy fluctuation, and blessed all the Amazon warriors, and the source came from the mother box, and now he knew that this power was some kind of high-level amplification magic, called "God's Blessing".
"Similarly, in times of crisis, the Mother Box can also be activated to power, strengthen, and repair the Shelter Barrier of Paradise Island, but we are not forced to use this dangerous power, whether it is to activate the Legendary Array or to recharge the Shelter Barrier."
Hippolyta shook her head.
"Got it... Her Majesty told me about the 'dangerous things' that she wanted me to take away, presumably the Mother Box. β
Chen Shengdao.
"That's right."
Hippolyta glanced at Chen Sheng meaningfully.
"Although the power of the mother box is extremely powerful, even the gods are afraid of it, even Zeus is not willing to risk attracting enemies from outside the world again, to study its power that is not a god, but comparable to a god... Even a power far beyond the gods. β
"But Ares doesn't seem to think so."
Chen Sheng said suddenly.
"He seems to be interested in the mother box."
β... Did Ares say anything to you when he was defeated? β
Hippolyta was silent for a moment and asked.
"He's just very persistent and threatens me to pay the price."
Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Ares, if you want to know, we can talk about it later."
Hippolyta, however, diverted the topic raised by Chen Sheng and returned her attention to the mother box.
"My worst fears have come up."
There was a solemnity in her eyes.
"According to the report of the soldiers guarding last night, at three o'clock in the morning that night, there was a sudden movement of the mother box, and this morning, the mother box had a second abnormal sound."
She motioned for Chen Sheng to turn to the back of the mother box to look, and this time there was a hint of surprise in Chen Sheng's eyes.
Because on the other side of this side with his back to the exit, a crack appeared in one corner of the crimson square iron box in front of him as if a knife blade had crossed it, which looked a little abrupt on the appearance of the complete mother box.
"The seal is loose."
Hippolyta's expression was worried, but not fearful.
"Perhaps, it took too long to wake up the mother box, which caused this situation, or maybe it extracted too much energy, so that its inner consciousness produced some kind of awakening."
"Whatever the reason, it's not a good thing."
"It could bring a huge crisis to the world."
"So... Her Majesty wants to see if there is a way for me to get this mother box back to normal? β
Chen Sheng seemed to understand why Hippolyta would agree to let him see the mother box today.
"Yes, Chen."
From the wide cloak behind her, Hippolyta suddenly took out a short knife dagger hidden in the sheath, held it in her palm, and stretched it out in front of Chen Sheng.
"I heard Diana say that you seem to be interested in both powerful treasures and artifacts?"
"This is an item that I have in my personal possession, and if you can do it, I'm willing to give it to you. Thank you for your help in keeping this world safe. β
Chen Sheng didn't answer immediately, but looked down at what Hippolyta had handed over.
[Artifact: Zeus's Thunder Dagger]
γLevel: Artifactγ
[The dagger made by Heavenly Father Zeus with the power of thunder and the heart of the 10,000-year-old tree contains powerful high-density energy, and was later given to his lover Hippolyta for self-protection. The method of using it is to pull it out of its sheath and throw it, producing an explosion powerful enough to inflict heavy damage on a god. γ
[You have found a mythical item: Zeus's Thunder Dagger]
[Select the exchange, you will get a chance to light up the Infinity Stones]
Two pieces of psychic feedback appeared out of thin air in my mind.
Good fellow, it seems that Hippolyta still has quite a few hole cards.
Chen Sheng couldn't help but think in his heart.
Tsk, the lover of Zeus.
However, this thing may not be able to deal with Ares, so Hippolyta did not use it in battle before.
Because of this one-time throwing weapon, it is difficult to say whether it can blow up the target, and the previous Ares was not only wearing artifact-level heavy armor, but also extremely sensitive, and could also teleport in space, and his combat power was incomprehensible in all aspects.
The chances of being hurt by this dagger are slim to none.
The most important thing is that Ares seems to have stolen the power of thunder from Zeus, and it is really difficult to say whether he will be harmed by this power of the same origin.
"Your Majesty, you're too outward."
Chen Sheng opened his mouth and said, but his hand reached out without a trace and took the dagger in front of him.
"Then I'll think of a way, but the mother box is really special, I can only do my best first, you see."
β......β
Hippolyta frowned imperceptibly, but then her expression relaxed, and she spoke.
"We have been oracleed by the Father to take care of the Mother Box, so there must be no mistakes in the Mother Box, Chen, and I hope you don't use any strange magic to get it into any lost space. Not to mention, you 'absorb' or 'devour' the mother box or something. β
She emphatically emphasized word by word.
"Just fix the seal, and you're good to go."
"Understood. Got it. β
Chen Sheng nodded and replied:
"Your Majesty, you think too highly of me, I must be cautious about such a dangerous object as the mother box. As for absorbing something, that's even more impossible. You're laughing. β
But I was thinking in my heart.
It seems that this Hippolyta is very nervous about the mother box, but since I am targeting, I can only be sorry.
Anyway, this mother box is also a scourge, and instead of staying in this world like a time bomb, it is better for me to solve it once and for all.
Yes, I really should do my part for the safety of the world.
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he already had a bold idea in his heart.
