Chapter 70: The Manifestation of the Sea
In the cold deep sea, two figures were silently diving downward.
Athena didn't hold the Water Retention Orb like Chen Sheng did, but she still seemed to be very comfortable with the ocean, and the pressure of the deep sea and the icy waters seemed to have no effect on her.
Her long purple hair fluttered behind her, like a mermaid swimming in the dark.
Chen Sheng's gaze froze on her for a few seconds, then moved away.
He was not too surprised, after all, Athena's mother was the goddess of the sea, Metis, and the Greek gods iterated downward, and more or less the younger generations would inherit the priesthood or divine right of the upper generation.
Before Athena was born, the title of the goddess of wisdom also belonged to Metis at first, but later with the birth of her daughter, the goddess of wisdom became Athena's most well-known priesthood.
Gradually, the two of them seemed to have dived to a considerable depth, and there was silence and darkness in the cold deep sea, as if there was nothing but the two of them, but after a while, Chen Sheng saw some faint light in his field of vision.
Soon, the light grew brighter and filled all of his vision.
It was a group of buildings hidden in the depths of the sea.
It was like a small city sunk in the ocean, but unlike the cold and dead ocean, the buildings below were exuding bright colors like lights, there were not many of these clustered buildings, they were uneven, and the stars and moons surrounded a huge dome building, with Chen Sheng's eyes, he could even see the figures in the buildings under his feet passing through them.
"This is the fortress of Atlantis."
Athena's diving slowed down, narrowing the distance between her and Chen Sheng.
"It's where the Atlanteans guard the Mother Box."
Her voice buzzed in the deep sea and reached Chen Sheng's ears.
"Looks like they're in trouble."
Chen Sheng looked down, and in the sudden brightness of the deep sea, he saw some strange-shaped, hideous-looking and ferocious monsters walking through the buildings below, and the figures in the buildings were armed with some kind of guns of different shapes, fighting and resisting the other party.
From time to time, there seems to be a large number of figures coming from other places to enter the building complex.
It should be reinforcements from the Atlante headquarters.
But those monsters are numerous, and they are extremely agile, and the two seem to be stuck in a stalemate fighting atmosphere.
"It's the Trench Clan."
Athena looked at it for a moment and spoke.
"This is a former Atlantean variant who has lost their normal sanity and intelligence and is extremely vicious. However, the Trench Clan do not normally live here, and there is some kind of anomalous dark force that controls them. ”
"Let's go."
She continued to dive, and picked up her speed.
Chen Sheng quickly followed.
After diving a few hundred meters again, the two finally entered the complex.
Came to the bottom of the deep sea.
At this moment, there was no longer silence in the middle and lower seas around, and the sound of shouts and explosions of guns and bullets shuttling through the water was incessant, accompanied by the roars of monsters, like human screams, mixed together and very noisy.
Several terrifying-looking, withered humanoid monsters of the Trench Clan seemed to have spotted Chen Sheng and Athena's figures, and with a roar, they opened their bloody mouths large enough to swallow half of an adult's body, turned around, twisted their bodies in the seawater, and quickly approached the two.
Chen Sheng's pupils narrowed slightly, but before he could make a move, Athena had already brandished a spear and rushed forward.
Her body opened a gap in the water, passing through it like a ghost, and before the trenches could react, a fierce golden light swept through their bodies.
Not even screaming, the monsters instantly turned into dozens of stumbling corpses that sank downward.
"Go to the mother box."
Athena didn't look back, swimming straight towards the central dome.
The two soon came to the heart of the fiercest and most dense battle.
And the two people who suddenly appeared naturally attracted the attention of a large number of Trench Clan and Atlantis.
These Atlanteans, dressed in armor made of scales on the surface, wore strangely shaped helmets, and a little exposed skin looked unusually fair, almost all of them held guns of different shapes, or held huge steel sea forks, and some even rode huge seahorses or some fierce sea creatures such as sharks swimming around, as if they were harnessed to assist in the battle.
When they saw Chen Sheng and Athena, who were obviously not from their own tribe in terms of dress or appearance, appear here, many of them were stunned.
"Brave people of Atlantis, follow me to banish these ugly monsters and protect the fortress of Atlante."
Athena's expression was as usual, she fluttered forward, her body slowly floated up, holding the golden war spear in her hand, and suddenly her body bloomed with infinite brilliance, as if it illuminated the entire underwater fortress in an instant.
“... Purple eyes, long purple hair, that's... The Golden Spear of Victory? Are you... Goddess of Wisdom?! Great Goddess of Wisdom! ”
An Atlantean riding a huge seahorse, dressed in a battle armor cloak, seemed to be the leader of the place, and he looked at this golden figure in his eyes that was full of light, as if he had expelled all cold and evil, and his face showed an incredible color, and he subconsciously said loudly.
"What, Goddess of Wisdom?!"
"This holy aura that cleanses all evil, the king of Atlanta is above, I can't be dreaming, am I?"
"Purple hair and purple eyes... It is indeed the symbol of that goddess, that golden light, the legendary golden spear of victory! ”
"The king of Atlanta is above, and the great goddess of wisdom has appeared at this moment!"
"The goddess is here to punish these demons!"
Countless Atlanteans were shocked by this golden light, and when they heard this shout, their faces suddenly appeared shocked, stunned, incredible, curious, fanatical, reverent, and so on, and even lowered their guns in their hands in an instant, and stopped fighting with those trench tribes.
In the same way, those trench monsters were also stimulated by this golden light, and let out a strange roar, the trench people had no eyes, but they seemed to feel the surging sharp force in this light, and they howled backwards, opening up the battle distance with the Atlanteans.
Chen Sheng also looked at all this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The Atlanteans seem to be familiar with Athena, could it be that the goddess of wisdom is the object of worship of the Atlantean gods?
As far as he knew, these people should worship Poseidon.
After all, the symbol of the imperial power of the first king of Atlantis was to imitate a weapon of the god of the sea, and to create a trident of Aquaman that was not weaker than the original with the strength of the country, and the trident has been the symbol of imperial power of Atlantis since then.
However, Athena's mother was from the sea gods, and if you look at the genealogy of the gods, it is not surprising that Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was revered by the Atlanteans.
Could it be that this is what Athena relies on?
Chen Sheng felt that he seemed to vaguely understand why she would choose this Atlantis as the final main battlefield.
Rising to the top of all the buildings, Athena saw the frenzied cheers and responses below, and she nodded, her beautiful and calm face filled with holiness and goddess-like radiance.
The first soldier, dressed in Wanxia, she turned into a golden light and meteor in the sea, and rushed into the huge team of the Trench Clan.
A golden spear seemed to stir up a storm like a wave at the bottom of the sea, and in just a few breaths, countless Trench Clan monsters were cut apart, letting out roars and howls.
"Warriors, charge with me! Kill all these monsters! ”
"Defend the glory of the goddess and protect the mother box!"
Several of the generals present in Atlantis raised the steel sea fork in their hands, drove the huge seahorse under the crotch, and let out a cry that shook the bottom of the sea.
The two sides fought fiercely together.
