In the Atlantis Ocean, the countless islands scattered are actually the wreckage left behind by the defeat of the Mekki in the Battle of Olympus tens of thousands of years ago.

In the temples of these islands, there are nanomachines called Teos Legacy, which are the remnants of power left behind by the true mechists, and if approved by the judgment mechanism they left behind when they died, they will be released to serve the visitor.

From the memories that Artemis passed on to Red, it is known that when Pollux handed over Zeus's Divine Core to her, her body was already in tatters and in a state of serious injury, in which case she must have sought Theos Legacy to heal herself.

However, in the Atlantean Islands, there are quite a few such ruins, and it is obvious that searching them one by one has been too inefficient.

However, Francis Drake is a world-famous pirate - according to her, as long as she is on the ocean, whether it is a treasure or a beautiful woman, she can easily do it.

As it turned out, she wasn't bragging.

"I didn't expect it to be here...... Hercules Island. ”

Looking at the island in front of him, which was not unfamiliar, Red's expression became a little more melancholy.

"Well, after all, I had an adventure in the Atlantis Ocean before, so I have acquaintances on many islands, I asked casually, but I didn't expect to find a clue quickly, and it turned out to be the place where we met - fate is so magical."

Drake stood beside Red, and suddenly she whispered in Red's ear as if she remembered something.

"By the way, my acquaintances are all girls, whether in life or after becoming a servant, I am the only man with you...... Don't get me wrong. ”

Looking at Drake, who is usually heroic, he showed a girlish expression in love at this moment, and the beauty of this contrast made Red's heart flutter.

"Red, my tavern should still be on this island, do you want to ......?"

Feeling the blazing gaze in his servant's eyes, Red almost couldn't hold it back, but he quickly calmed down and said helplessly.

"Ahem, we'll talk about the rest later, we need to find Pollux quickly now."

"Then it's a word, and when you find that demigod girl, as a reward you can perform the task of replenishing your mana."

As a pirate with a bold personality, Red began to have a premonition that during his journey in this Persona Belt, he probably wouldn't have time to sleep well.

But as Red said, there are priorities, and the most important thing at the moment is to find the sister of the twin gods.

Soon, Red and Drake were once again on the island with whom they had a strong connection, while the Greystar, the puppet Diana, and the Artemis Terminal were all left aboard the Golden Deer.

On the one hand, this is to keep Mera from escaping and to prevent anyone from coming to rescue her; On the other hand, it is also to be wary of Artemis.

Although she seems to be very dependent on Red now, after all, she is still a mechanical creature left behind by the Olympus god system, and even if Red believes her now, no one knows if the inside of her program will be manipulated by others.

Red and Drake were targeting the temple on Hercules Island, which was now unguarded by Olympian soldiers, so they were not hindered from entering.

"That's the technology of Olympus...... In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can send someone to reverse analyze and recover these technologies and use them as the property of our Red Lantern Corps. ”

Unlike the exterior of the ancient Greek-style temple, the interior of the temple is more like a research institute or a high-tech factory than a religious building.

On the intricately neat square walls, the dark green lines like circuit boards were intricate, and Red could clearly feel the faint divine power flowing in them.

However, when Red and Drake came to the deepest part of the temple together......

There was no one to be seen here except for a huge machine with a complex structure that shimmered with a dull golden light.

"Is it that he has already left? Maybe I should ask the villagers on the island again—"

Drake's brow furrowed slightly, but Red looked thoughtfully at the giant machine and shook his head slightly.

"No, she's here...... It looks like these machines are in a state of operation, and they don't look like they're standby from the flow of divine power. ”

After a moment's thought, Red pulled out an egg-sized bronze stone from his bosom.

Drake, who had taken the core from Poseidon with his own hands, of course recognized what it was, so she folded her arms over her chest and watched with interest as Red operated.

I saw Red holding the Divine Core tightly and concentrating, and the blood-red lines covered the surface of the Divine Core.

"Could it be that you plan to assimilate with the power of the divine core, and then use the power of Zeus to control the machinery here?"

Red can take control of objects by amplifying them in different dimensions, and Drake knows this, but Red shakes his head slightly.

"No, if it's just a god core, the power you can get is limited, if it's just the power of the god Olympus, I have the Poseidon core you gave me before; If it's the power that drives thunder, I have the Mjolnir with better controllability...... I'm just trying to find a way to sabotage this thing. ”

Red said calmly and lightly, and at that moment he seemed to feel the flow rate of divine power on the walls around him change for a moment.

And so it was.

Red was more convinced of his guess, but his expression continued quietly.

"After all, this thing is a hot potato, and I don't know Zeus's old pervert well, so there's no reason to take the risk to help him resurrect - besides, if the other party is a strong person who can defeat the god Olympus, then I can directly negotiate and cooperate with the winner, but there is no reason to work for that group of Olympian gods."

As Red spoke, the Zeus Divine Core in his hand began to tremble slightly, and then the red lines on it became a little denser.

"But this thing looks really hard, and it's a bit of a hassle to destroy it with brute force from the outside; And if you simply destroy it, it may cause a violent explosion to send out powerful energy fluctuations...... It would be a headache to misunderstand them, so I decided to break it up with kicker. ”

The red lines on Zeus' core began to grow denser and denser, and the vibrations became more and more violent, as if it was struggling with pain.

"As you should know, if my amplification reaches more than 10 layers, there is a good chance that the boosted object will automatically shatter...... That way, I'll be able to get rid of this thing safely, and maybe I'll be able to drop out some Other-dimensional crystals for my other equipment to use......"

"Stop me!!"

Thundered.

With a muffled thud, the huge golden device began to deform rapidly, and then a slender and petite figure rushed towards Red like lightning.

Shout.

In the flash of lightning, the Zeus Divine Core in Red's hand disappeared without a trace, but it seemed that Red was not unresponsive, and judging from his expression, he had expected this.

"You've finally come out, Miss Pollux, and I thought you were going to keep hiding from me."

I saw that the one standing in front of Red was undoubtedly the sister of Gemini Dios Curry, Pollux.

But her current appearance does not look at all as arrogant as she was in Olympus, and her clothes are already cool enough to be tattered, and she can only barely cover the vital parts of her body; There were many marks on his body that had been scratched by sharp weapons, and his dull blonde hair was messily draped over his shoulders.

Pollux clutched the Zeus Core she had snatched in her hand, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, judging by her vain steps, she was now a little unsteady on her feet.

"Ahem...... That stupid goddess with no brains...... Although it is known that she has broken ...... But I didn't expect her to hand over the Father's Divine Core to you...... I'm sorry, Great Father, but I'm not going to give it to anyone else—uh! ”

Suddenly, at this moment, Pollux let out an exclamation, because she felt the Zeus Divine Core in her hand suddenly become extremely hot, and before she could react, the Divine Core fell from her hand.

Bang dang.

In Polux's gaze full of despair and horror, the Zeus Divine Core shattered like glass the moment it fell to the ground.

"No !!"

Pollux fell to her knees, just as she was about to reach out and pick up the pieces on the ground......

"Don't worry, even if I don't use this kind of thing like Zeus God Core, I guess it can get a good price if I resell it, and now my family has too many people to raise, and I can't afford to waste it like this."

Hearing Red's lazy voice, Pollux looked up in confusion, and she immediately saw the intact Zeus Divine Core in Red's hand.

Pollux's expression froze at first, and then she quickly understood what was going on, and her pale face was a little more angry and red.

"You guy, you're deliberately tricking me...... Uhh Don't touch me! ”

It seemed that Pollux wanted to snatch the core from Red's hand, but she had just gotten up from the ground when her feet went limp and fell again, and Red grabbed her shoulders in time only to be pushed away by her in disgust.

"I don't need your help...... Give me back the Zeus Core, and get out of here! ”

Seeing the other party look so resistant, Red shrugged helplessly, let go of his hand and let her fall to the ground.

"Did you do anything to her at Olympus, how could you make this kid hate you so much?"

Francis Drake looked at Red curiously, who scratched his head and said.

"It doesn't feel like much...... Anyway, don't look at her like this, she can be your grandmother's grandmother...... I can't count my ancestors, and the old people will have a weird temper. ”

Hearing Red's joke, Pollux seemed even angrier, and she glared at Red with teary eyes, if she had the ability to kill with her eyes, she must have fired a laser by now.

"Who do you say is the old woman! Damn, to be looked down upon so much by a mere mortal like you—"

But just then, a cold, emotionless voice interrupted Pollux's words.

"Yes, my sister, it's too ugly to live in such an ugly posture, so let me give you a good time, Pollux."

Pollux's expression froze, and she looked up in the direction of the passage, her eyes full of despair and fear.

"How could it be...... Kastor ...... Brother. ”

I saw that under the reflection of the divine power transmission channel on the wall of the corridor, a tall and thin figure slowly walked towards Red and them.

Drake's pupils shrank and he pulled his musket from his waist, but Red raised his hand to signal her not to be impulsive.

"You protect Pollux, I have a lot to ask her afterwards."

"I'm just ...... Don't need your ...... Yes! ”

Despite what Pollux said, Drake picked her up despite her little resistance, and the red light energy covered the two of them.

"Don't move, Polux, we're acquaintances, you're the patron saint of sailors, aren't you, and for those of us who sail the seas, we've prayed to you to a greater or lesser extent, and I don't know if you've blessed me or not—but I'll repay you today."

The tall, thin figure walked without slowing down, and he walked out of the dimly lit passage into the hall illuminated by the light of the mechanism.

"It doesn't make sense for you to tell her this, she's not the Pollux of pan-human history at all...... We are all in this world, and we have never protected humans, but only the noble gods who overlook humans. ”

Red's eyes narrowed, and the blade of blood condensed in his hand.

Originally, he thought that it would be possible to negotiate with the other party, but when he saw the god in front of him who represented his brother in Gemini, Red knew that a battle was inevitable.

"You're not right, aren't you, not Paulus...... You're not Castor at all, Castor and Pollux are two in one, and their relationship is naturally extremely deep - the real Castor would not use his dying sister as bait. ”

To be honest, Red had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, after all, since the other party could completely destroy the god of Olympus and seriously injured Pollux, in this case, he allowed Pollux to escape, and she was hanging around in Atlantis...... Clearly this does not make sense.

Even after Pollux took away a Zeus Divine Core, the other party didn't even send a pursuer, so the reason is obvious.

Of course, there are still some things that Red didn't expect about the current situation, such as the use of Pollux by Castor - or something that uses Castor's body.

For example, the more important .......

It was the black ring on Castor's hand that made Red instinctively disgusted.

"Seriously injured? No, I just postponed her redemption a little...... Soon, she'll be one of us, and so will you. ”

Castor raised his arm, his skin pale as a corpse—nay, maybe a real corpse, for his eyes had no emotion in a creature, and his whole body exuded a creepy smell of death.

"I'll give you a new piece of knowledge, Castor...... Or the guy who stole Castor's body. ”

Red raised the Blade of Blood and assumed a battle stance with an arrogant smile.

"The red light of anger naturally restrains the black light of death, and soon you will understand why this is the case."
