Chapter 50: The Ancient Taboo

“... You lifted your spell like that? ”

Athena said suddenly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away directly?"

"You run."

Chen Sheng glanced at her.

"I don't care."

"You run casually, I got the mother box back anyway, and you said it yourself, I have a pair of divine eyes, this mother box is real or fake, I can naturally see it."

"You made the right decision. Didn't change a fake mother box to come out and fool me. ”

Chen Sheng grinned.

"If that's the case, I promise you're not going to be able to stand here and talk to me right now."

“... Little mage, the momentum is quite unforgiving. ”

Athena was silent for a moment, but looked at him with more interest in her eyes.

"Sister, I have lived for thousands of years, and you are the first one to dare to speak to me like this."

"Even Ares, the guy with muscles in his head, has never despised me so much."

"So he planted it in front of me."

Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Yes, a godslayer... In the thousands of years of the Age of Mythology, there has never been a person like you. ”

Athena suddenly said something meaningful.

"What no one in this world has done, there will always be people from other worlds to break it."

"Chen?"

Diana on the side reminded aloud.

"Understood, let's talk about it later, let's see what's going on on the island first."

Chen Sheng glanced at her, nodded, and then spread out his hands to cast a spell, and quickly rubbed out a secret method door that led to the royal palace on the island.

"There are more and more of these monsters."

Chen Sheng looked around, and in the darkness, he seemed to see that hundreds of meters away, some black mud monsters were gathering towards this cleared area.

"Are you the doing these things?"

He frowned, and suddenly looked at Athena.

"It's none of my business, how can I summon so many Hell Ember Evil?"

Athena immediately shook her head.

"That..."

"Chen, let's deal with these monsters first, and it's not too late to go back and interrogate her."

Diana glanced at her cheap sister.

Of course, she didn't know that this relationship existed.

"If you really change your mind and want to help us, please be honest."

After speaking, she threw the spear of the goddess of wisdom in her hand back to the other party, and then compared the remaining mantra lasso in her hand with her eyes.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind continuing the battle that I didn't finish just now."

With a snort, Diana was the first to rush into the door of the secret method, obviously worried about the safety of Hippolyta and the others.

"So what the hell are you going to do?"

Seeing Diana enter the door of the secret method, Chen Sheng looked at the goddess of wisdom who was dressed in a golden dress and armor and had a heroic posture.

"Where did you learn your space magic?"

Athena, who had put away her spear, approached with a curious look, obviously interested in the secret door as well.

"Hmm... This kind of magic fluctuation that has never been seen before, I see, is this kind of change..."

She showed a hint of thought, her eyes flashing with brilliance, as if trying to parse the nature of the arcane energy.

“... You're trying to steal my magic in front of me? Is this really good? ”

Chen Sheng was a little speechless, what is going on with this Athena? Is it really big-hearted, or is it like she herself said, people who have lived for thousands of years are so strange?

"Well, I just haven't had this novel feeling in a long time, and besides, can you stop using your special abilities to spy on me, I won't sneak up on you."

Athena put away the expression on her face, but her deep purple eyes glanced at Chen Sheng.

A trace of strangeness flashed on Chen Sheng's face, and he said.

"What the hell is your purpose?"

He had been observing Athena with his mental power, and found that Athena's favorability had inexplicably risen to forty at this moment.

It's back to the level of normal neutrality.

"Purpose?"

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. Diana may not be able to see anything, but you should be able to tell that I'm not in good health right now. ”

Chen Sheng didn't answer immediately, of course he knew that Athena was in an inexplicable state of extreme weakness.

"My divine power is not one in ten at this moment, even if you don't believe my words, you should understand this fact, I can't pose any threat to you at this moment. Actually, I didn't expect such an outcome, but I have to say that you did not expect it. ”

Athena looked at Chen Sheng, her purple eyes glowing with brilliance.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't really have much to do with Ares, I'm not interested in his perverted idea of conquest. If we had to say that we had any connection, in addition to the fact that we all had a bastard father, we were both oracles from Mother Earth to take this Paradise Island Mother Box. That's why I'm here. ”

"Of course, I'm not like Ares, and I don't have any desire to embezzle this mother box."

"However, no interest is no interest, this thing is still very dangerous, at least in this regard, I have the same idea as Zeus, it must be kept sealed and safe, and it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of some terrible being."

Athena's words seemed to reveal a lot of information.

"Mother Earth... You're talking about Gaia? ”

Chen Sheng frowned.

Is it really related to such an ancient existence?

And, who is the other terrible being in Athena's mouth?

"Yes, since you know the Mother Goddess, it will be much easier, but you are not a local, let alone a god like us, I'm afraid you don't understand that the Mother Goddess and us are actually completely different class existences, right?"

Athena's smile revealed a hint of meaning.

"His power is unimaginable, originally, because of the retreat of the cosmic tides, the great Mother Goddess fell into a deep sleep, but just a few days ago, with the arrival of someone, the Mother Goddess and some ancient beings were awakened again."

"Wait, do you mean me?"

Chen Sheng had a hesitant expression on his face.

"That's right. Beings who do not belong to this world, the one mentioned in the oracle of the Mother Goddess, if there is no second guy like you on this island, it must be you. ”

Athena looked Chen Sheng up and down.

"What awakens the Mother Goddess is a power fluctuation that is enough to shake the starry sky of the universe, according to the Mother Goddess, it is an ultimate power from the origin of the universe, but the space magic you have mastered, although it is strange, is far from enough to be called a great power."

"But the kind of absolute law-like power you released in that other subspace just now is a little bit interesting."

She stared at Chen Sheng, her purple eyes as if she wanted to see him up and down.

Chen Sheng's heart couldn't help but move inexplicably.

Could it be that Athena is talking about the Infinity Stones?

Because of that inexplicable ash accident, when he opened his eyes, he fell into the sea and came to this paradoxical DC universe.

Then, in the dark dream, he was summoned by the Infinity Stones, and had the adventure of making a contract with him and exchanging abilities.

As a result, I learned that the gem was destroyed by an existence, and its infinite power spread to every corner of the universe, and even in the endless void, many dimensions of the universe that ordinary life could not reach and set foot in were shaken by this.

It seems that all this must have a deep connection with the Infinity Stones.

"By the way, your name is Chen?"

“... That's right. ”

Chen Sheng retracted his mind and nodded calmly.

"Strange pronunciation."

Came to the same conclusion as Diana, Athena muttered, and then said.

"Don't you want to know how these Ember Evil came about, strictly speaking, they all appeared because of you."

Athena's lips curled in a playful curvature.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because that ultimate power swept through this world, not only awakening the mother goddess, but also awakening some other terrible beings."

Athena said slowly, her expression suddenly surging with solemnity.

"These Ember Evils who have been summoned to snatch the Mother Box are obeying the orders of an ancient being."

"He was once the Lord of the Heavens, the first son of Mother Earth, and even the gods considered that name taboo."

Chen Sheng looked at Athena's expression and expression, as if he had thought of some mythological allusions based on these keywords.

"Lord of the Skies? What you're talking about..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Athena.

"He has awakened, and I advise you not to say His name directly, it will attract His attention."

Athena glanced up meaningfully at the sky.

“...........”
