Chapter 274: The Legend of the Heavenly Dome
"What are you going to do next?"
Chen Sheng looked at Ares, and finally slowly retracted the energy protection and rune coat on his body.
It is true that he and Ares have a hostile relationship, but now, an even more formidable enemy is waiting for an opportunity outside the territory, greedy for this world and even the entire multiverse, and the feud between the two sides is nothing.
And the starting point of these resentments at the beginning was only because of different positions and some mistakes.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Ares's words, because the other party didn't have to lie to him, and Chen Sheng didn't feel the uncomfortable feeling of anti-universe creatures in Ares, the other party was not polluted by degeneration, and his mind was very clear, and he could only get some extremely special opportunity to step into this extremely high realm today.
Just like Chen Sheng obtained the Self Stone, he immediately had a strength comparable to that of a cosmic god, after this period of continuous self-improvement and excavation, combined with the rest of the fragmented primordial stones and demonic Taoism, he even reached the strength of a high-level heavenly god.
This is also why Chen Sheng is very interested in the 'observer' in Ares's mouth, in this multiverse, absolute power is monopolized by those top overlords, and the most convenient and effective way out to become truly powerful is to find a way to turn these powers into things in his own hands.
"I'm going on a trip to Paradise Island."
Ares Road.
“... Are you still at odds with those women? ”
Chen Sheng's eyes became a little strange.
"No, it's not related to the Amazons."
Ares shook his head.
"Do you know why Zeus founded Paradise Island and once placed the Mother Box and those Amazons there?"
"Isn't it to hide from you? Or the caretaker mother's box? ”
"Hehe... That's just a lie, a pretext. Believe me, Zeus's cunning was able to surpass all expectations. ”
Ares seemed to think of something, and said in a slow voice with some disdain.
"Everything he did was actually just to cover up the fact that the Paradise Island was actually linked to the seal of the God of the Firmament, which was the core point of sealing Ouranos, the so-called Paradise Island was just a superficial illusion, and the true body of this island was actually the ancient Titan God - Atlas!"
This news surprised Chen Sheng again.
Atlas?
The relevant Greek mythological biographies quickly came to his mind, and he remembered the "Titan Creation Epic" that he had read on Paradise Island.
Atlas is the legendary god of the sky, belonging to the ancient Titan god family, and legend has it that he was condemned by Zeus for offending the king of the gods, and supported the sky and the stars on his shoulders.
This is a very ancient Greek 'romantic' myth and legend, and even if normal people know it, they will not think otherwise.
But Ares's words made Chen Sheng seem to understand something for a moment.
Could it be that this support for the sky is really a 'supporting meaning' at the physical or magical level?
"After the Titans were imprisoned in the prison of Tartarus, Atlas exchanged his body for a promise from Zeus that the Titans would not be slaughtered, on the condition that he would use his body to strengthen the seal of the God of the Firmament."
"But Atlas was actually deceived by Zeus, because he simply didn't have the ability to slaughter the Titans, if it weren't for the war in the primeval period, plus the cosmic tides in the Olympus era had begun to languish continuously, and the Titan gods could not adapt to the changes in the environment, it would not have been Zeus's turn to be the king of the gods."
Ares recounted.
"Fearing that the god of the sky might awaken one day, Zeus ordered Atlas to turn into a reinforced seal to ensure that the god of the sky was completely locked up."
"It's a good plan, isn't it, my grandfather and his people were locked up in the underworld that never saw the light of day, and Atlas's body eventually turned into a rock, and it became an island, forever guarding the seal of the god of the firmament, Zeus was able to remove all threats to his throne, and this is the origin of Paradise Island, which is actually not an ordinary paradise at all, Zeus used the word 'heaven' as a metaphor, hehe... In a sense, it's true, it's actually the closest place to the 'Sky Dome'! ”
Chen Sheng was speechless, he really didn't expect that the origin of Paradise Island actually had such a layer of origin.
"Are you going to find the God of the Heavenly Dome? That first-generation god-king? ”
He suddenly thought of the Heavenly Dome Seal that they had sensed on Paradise Island not long ago when they had just returned to this world.
It was a deep dimension that he had not been aware of before, although the Heavenly Dome Seal was so close to the Heavenly Island, but Chen Sheng did not think about it at that time, because the dimension that imprisoned the Heavenly Dome God must be extremely broad, this is an unfathomable ancient god, even if the seal leaked a little, its enveloping scope spread to the Heavenly Island, and there was nothing particularly worth making a fuss about, but now it seems that the Heavenly Dome Seal and the Heavenly Island are not just an ordinary situation where the scope of overlapping areas by accident is not just an ordinary situation, Rather, there is a deeper and closer connection between the two sides.
"This is also the last task given to me by the Mother Goddess. But as for what, I won't go into details. ”
Ares neither admitted, but also did not deny.
After saying that, he already had the intention of leaving.
"Master Chen, if you really want to do something for this world, if you still remember the agreement with the Mother Goddess, then go back to Gaia and find a way to peel off the 'Anti-Life Equation' imprinted on the Mother Goddess's body."
"It's an attempt that almost no one dares to do, because anyone who comes into contact with the anti-life equation will end up being a crazy monster."
Ares said in his deep voice of thought.
"From what I know, Darkseid's army is already on its way, and he was sent by the Khan of Ga to reclaim some of the power that was once lost in this world."
"The safety of this universe has been borne by each and every one of us."
...................
Earth, watchtower space station.
It's very close to low Earth orbit, like a steel shield, the space station is backed by a huge blue planet, facing the dark and dead universe, but unlike the lone steel guard before, the watchtower now has a new neighbor and friend.
Hundreds of miles away from its orbit, there was a dazzling golden vision, and it was faintly visible that it seemed to be a somewhat hazy majestic mountain, exuding a vast aura of divine Lingran.
Within the Olympus dimension, Chen Sheng's figure suddenly appeared.
On the mountain below, there happened to be two figures fighting fiercely, and the punches and kicks of both sides burst out with brilliant golden sparks from time to time.
One of them was none other than Tony Stark in a steel suit.
Moreover, his body was also covered with a layer of rune cloak that Chen Sheng had enchanted for him before.
"Oh God! You're finally back! ”
As if noticing the sudden movement of a third person, both of them on the ground stopped their movements and looked up.
Stark, in particular, quickly faded from the nano-face armor on his face, revealing a face that was implicitly excited.
"I'm sorry to bother you, besides, Stark, while I appreciate your compliments, I'm not God."
Chen Sheng fell from mid-air and stepped on the ground of the mountain with both feet.
“... Chen, my Grand Master Chen, where have you been? Why did it take so long to come back! ”
Stark rolled his eyes, but didn't care about Chen Sheng, he rushed up to him, staring at him with a resentful expression.
"Didn't I go and have a friendly exchange with Ares?"
Chen Sheng seemed to understand something, and suddenly an inaudible golden light flashed in his eyes, and then he was slightly stunned.
"Okay, it seems that I didn't pay attention to the speed of time, sorry, you know Stark, the speed of time in different parts of the universe can't be generalized, but it's only been seven days, and it's not a big deal, are you committing the curse again?"
He opened his mouth knowingly.
"The curse wasn't committed, but..."
Stark was a little speechless, but suddenly sighed, and put a forced smile back on.
"Looks like you're happy with my magic."
Chen Sheng looked at the other party's rune coat.
Theoretically, this layer of protection will only disappear when the energy is depleted, and until then, Tony Stark will be absolutely safeguarded.
“.....”
Stark was a little speechless, he actually wanted to say, if it weren't for this rune coat, would he have been pulled by the Olympian gods as a sparring partner??
If you hadn't been gone for so long, wouldn't you have ended up here?
It doesn't matter if the party prince doesn't have it, these old gods of Olympus are all talents who can't lose to Thor's stupid big man.
"Stark! Our battle isn't over yet, are we? ”
Just then, a somewhat rough voice came from the side.
Former playboy Tony Stark's face froze, and he turned his head to look at another person here, it was a burly man wearing a tawny beast suit and nearly four meters tall.
In terms of strength, this man seems to be more obvious than Ares, and the comparison to 'tiger's back and bear's waist' seems to be a little worse, just standing there, like a little giant in the iron tower, giving people an inexplicable pressure of strength.
"Hercules, that's all for today."
A tall figure in a long dress with gold embroidered trim floated in the distance and landed in the middle of the three.
She had a distinctive long purple hair, emerald eyes like jewels, and now wore a magnificent crown of gold on her head.
It was Athena.
"I suddenly remembered that I still had some research that I hadn't finished, so I withdrew first."
Seeing someone coming, Stark breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly slipped away with a casual excuse.
"Alas, he's so skinny, how can he do it without more practice!"
The man, the famous Hercules, shook his head with some hatred.
Tony Stark, who had already run away, couldn't help but shudder when he heard it from afar, and he was a little disgusted, Nima Laozi obviously relies on his mind and wisdom, okay, why do I have to be pulled to train your muscles! This Olympus is not at all what I originally thought!
“... Looks like he's been doing well these days. ”
Watching Stark, who had disappeared in a puff of smoke, leave the direction, Chen Sheng couldn't help but smile.
"He's been suppressing his heart."
Athena followed Chen Sheng's gaze and looked over there, and spoke slowly.
"His past has shaped his pride, but it is precisely because of this pride that he has learned many painful lessons, but this may be both his flaw and his strength, and it is precisely because of these pasts that he has the potential to become a true hero."
She said, glancing at Hercules.
"He's just like you once was, and you can feel it, right, Hercules."
Hercules, once hailed as the 'greatest hero in history', was silent and did not answer Athena's words directly.
However, Athena didn't pay much attention to it, she turned her delicate and beautiful face and smiled softly at Chen Sheng.
"You're back."
