Chapter 378: True and False Hades, Space Distortion

"Why are you still here?" It asked.

Leon was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this Hades was a fictitious dream scene, which did not exist in itself, and everything it saw was an illusion, including his own soul.

Leon smiled and pointed to the coffin, "Is this skeleton of your kind?" ”

"Well......" Hades' tone became a little strange, as if recalling something, "He's my brother, Artemis's father."

Our family of four was trapped in an ancient tomb, and Artemis was injured and recuperated on her bed, and the two of us stayed by her bedside.

Later, we heard a fight outside the door, Artemis told me to run, and I snuck out. ”

"The result?" Leon asked.

"As a result, I knocked down the gate and drew in the enemy. I fought them, but I had no way to kill them, so I had to flee back to my dormitory. ”

Hades continued, "I hid in the closet, looked through the cracks, and saw the gang of thugs looking for something in the dormitory...... They seem to have found a treasure. ”

Hades paused for a few seconds, his voice growing deeper and hoarse, "They took that thing and left the tomb.

I took the opportunity to run out and run for my life along the ventilation duct. I crawled through the narrow, dimly lit tunnels for a long, long time, until I was tired and fell into an empty chamber.

Here I met Artemis and was rescued by him. ”

Li Ang listened quietly.

“…… I told her that a group of cultists had infiltrated the tomb.

Artemis was worried and decided to chase the cultist's trail. ”

Leon raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are the characteristics of that cultist?" ”

"There was a thin white boy, very handsome, but his eyes were very fierce and cold. His body was as soft as a snake, and he still held a dagger in his hand. ”

Leon narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "The main mission of this world is to find the cultists and destroy them.

I guess the cultists are cultists of some kind of cultist, or maybe they are otherworldly creatures.

If this is the case, wouldn't Artemis go after the whereabouts of the cultists? ”

"I don't know." Hades replied, "Artemis is powerful, able to summon dragons larger than you, and unleash all sorts of strange magical attacks.

Although those villains are powerful, they can't help her. ”

Leon fell into deep thought and muttered, "I now know why the system sent me on an adventure mission in Ancient Egypt - this matter involves Artemis, and she must be protected."

But such a huge ancient dragon can't just be taken out and thrown around......"

Leon thought of his "storage warehouse".

Judging from the ancient Egyptian mythological stories, Hades was the earliest ancient deity.

Due to some unknown reason, its godhead was shattered and destroyed, and the priesthood was also lost, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul to wander in the galaxy of the universe.

In Leon's system space, there are a large number of precious materials of unknown origin and incalculable value, but he does not have the capital to touch those rare treasures for the time being.

The remnant of Hades is now starving and in dire need of food and water, or it will soon dissipate into the void.

Li Ang pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his left fist and hammered his chest, and said to Hades: "My stomach is so hungry, please give me some food." ”

Hades' glazed eyes rolled, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Whatever."

Leon shrugged his shoulders, "I'll eat everything." ”

Hades opened his mouth and spat out an egg-sized sapphire ring that hovered above its head.

Leon reached out and held the gemstone ring, feeling like it weighed several tons.

"What is this?"

"This is the Temple Crypt, and I'm Hades, the Temple Guardian."

Hades explained, "This is the crystallization of my divinity, rich in energy and spells that will help you gain power. ”

"Thank you." Leon nodded, placing the sapphire ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

The inside of the ring was filled with lilac energy, like a misty stream of water pouring into Leon's wrists, backs of hands, arms, and knees, making his spirit more and more clear.

Leon took a deep breath and bowed to Hades, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Hades responded: "You just said that your name is Leon, who is that?" ”

Leon blinked, "Uh, that's it...... Anglican. ”

"Oh." Hades nodded slightly, and then asked, "When did you come to Egypt?" ”

"Uh...... Three years ago. ”

Li Ang pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

Hades may have images of him in his memory, but it was hundreds of years ago.

"Are you also a believer in ancient Egypt?" Hades asked.

"Yes."

"I came here more than a thousand years ago." Hades's tone was slightly complicated, "When Ares led an army into my territory, I fought to a draw, but I was defeated by the gods of ancient Egypt. ”

"Your strength is not weak."

"In ancient history, it was not uncommon for a lich as powerful as you to be seen, but most of them died, and you are the only one who has survived to this day, still healthy and strong. ”

Hades shook his head and said, "No matter how strong my strength is, the ancient gods did not allow me to participate in war, and my followers were killed, even my wife and daughter were poisoned." ”

Li Ang frowned slightly, and silently recited the incantation in his heart.

He tried to activate the sigil of Hades, distorting the space around him, turning into a dark vortex that devoured Hades' body and sent him back to the underworld.

Hades screamed and plunged into the whirlpool, his figure fading into obscurity, fading, and finally dissipating completely.

"Our goal is to find out the cultists, but the most important thing at this stage is to find out why the evil gods came first."

Leon stood in the center of the altar and looked around.

The dungeon was empty, devoid of any ornaments or utensils except for a few worn wooden planks and statues, and the walls were covered with oil lamps and candles, each of which burned extremely dimly, illuminating only a radius of one meter.

Three sculptures are enshrined on the altar.

Two gold sculptures about five meters high are lifelike, the male deity wearing golden armor on the right is wearing silver-white chain armor, wearing a golden helmet, holding a spear, and a spear at his waist; The one on the left is wearing a silver-white chained dress, holding a scepter in his hand, and his face is covered with heavy makeup, as if he has just arrived from the crew, with flowers on top of his head.

Leon glanced at the two statues and guessed in his heart, "These two statues should be Hephaestus and Apollo."

They were the protagonists of Egyptian mythology, but now only the statue of Hephaestus remains in the cave, and the statue of Apollo has disappeared, possibly stolen by other Egyptians. ”
