"To sum up, now that the situation has changed, our operational policy will be fine-tuned. Drake, you stay on the Golden Deer to take control, just stand by at the top of us, and everyone else except Pollux will stay on the Golden Deer, and all the gods or microbes, living people and corpses who try to board the pirate ship, will be annihilated unconditionally. ”

On the deck of the Golden Deer, Red said to the others with a serious expression, although the puppet Diana usually likes to disagree with Red, but at the moment she didn't ask anything more and just nodded solemnly.

Then Red looked at Pollux, who still looked dazed and dazed, and sighed lightly.

"If you don't want to follow, just give me back the core of Zeus....."

"Uh...... No, no, I'll follow wherever you want to go. ”

Pollux immediately grabbed Red's arm excitedly, and his cheeks flushed slightly after noticing the ambiguity of what he had just said, but he still spoke firmly.

"I believe you...... Red, that's why I'm cooperating with your lies in front of Zeus, the God of God...... But I have to know the truth with my own eyes, and I'm not going to run away from it anyway. ”

Although in the Great Temple of Orbit, Red claimed that Zeus's Divine Core had been held in his possession, and that both the Divine Core and Pollux were his captives - in fact, when Pollux gave his most important thing to Red that night, as proof of trust, Red had returned Zeus's Divine Core to her.

However, in fact, Pollux did not live up to Red's trust in her, and in the face of Zeus, the king of the gods and goddesses whom she admired and worshipped the most, the demigod girl chose to remain silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Red's statement.

"I see, but we're in a hurry, so let's go down first."

"Huh? Go down? ”

Red suddenly picked up Pollux in the form of a princess hug, and jumped out of the deck of the Golden Deer when the latter's brain went down due to shyness and confusion.

Bang!

Red and Pollux fell from the sky and landed on the streets of the Olympus metropolitan area, this time the Golden Deer sailed directly into the urban airspace of Olympus, and was not stopped by anyone.

"Quick, put me down, it's too shy, everyone here knows me......"

"Yes, but I don't think so."

Red gently lowered Pollux as his sharp gaze scanned the surrounding citizens of Olympus through the dust.

Just like when they first came here, the citizens of Olympus lived a vibrant, cheerful, and comfortable life, with happy smiles on their faces.

However, this scene is even more terrifying than the last time, because when Red and Pollux landed, they smashed a large crater of more than 3 meters on the ground, but even so, the citizens of Olympus were as if they were blind and deaf.

With the same sunny smile on their faces as ever, they continued to walk around and greet the others as if Red and Pollux were transparent to them.

"What the hell is going on...... What happened to the humans of Olympus? ”

Pollux looked at the people around him dumbfounded, although the Gemini siblings don't like humans very much, even the humans of Olympus rarely deal with each other, but she is also a native god of this anomaly, and it stands to reason that she should not be ignored by humans.

"Because they are only 'alive' according to the established procedure, and they are not really Olympian humans resurrected by Demeter."

Red sighed lightly, as if he had already understood the situation.

"Let's talk as we go, like I just said, we're in a bit of a hurry right now."

Seeing Redmai's legs and leaving, Pollux hesitated for a moment, but quickly followed.

And she naturally took Red's hand.

"Where do you start...... First of all, let me tell you the most important point, judging from the current situation, whether it is your father, Zeus, the almighty god, or the other Olympian mekhans, they have all lost the battle against the Black Lantern Legion. While it may be hard for you to accept, that's just the way it is. ”

Red said in a categorical tone, and Pollux was stunned for a moment, with a trace of unwillingness and sadness in his eyes.

"What are you talking about, I sensed it very clearly just now, Zeus the Father...... There are also the divine power characteristics of the goddess Demeter and the goddess Aphrodite, I will never admit it! ”

"Have you forgotten what I told you about the characteristics of the Black Lantern Legion?"

At the same time as he heard Red's words, Pollux's expression immediately froze.

"A corpse possessed by the power of the black light will not only have its complete memories of life, but also all of its abilities. The Black Light Corpse is not a zombie or necromantic creature in the ordinary sense, and their ability to simulate the possessed person's life is a perfect restoration without mixing with other things. ”

This is the trickiest part of the black light ring, after all, human beings can only distinguish relatives and friends, and they can only confirm by two characteristics: appearance and memory, and the black light corpse can perfectly simulate both-

But even so, the black light corpse is still a black light corpse, even if they have memories and do not have the personality, emotion, and will of the corpse owner before his death, which really constitute the core of his spirit.

"But, but...... According to you, didn't the Black Lantern Corpse have only one purpose, which is to attack other living creatures according to their instincts, and force others to transform by digging out their hearts? But inside the Great Temple of Orbit......"

"Don't forget, at that time, all we saw was the terminal, in a sense, it was like a shortcut to the software, and you couldn't tell what the real link behind it was."

Red sighed softly, knowing how cruel it would be for Pollux to see a little hope and then extinguish it completely.

"And most importantly...... If it's just an ordinary black light corpse, it's really a monster that only acts on instinct, just like we saw in Atlantis, but it's not the same if someone is behind it. ”

Unlike other emotional spectral energies, Black Light does not actually exist as a true light beast - the Black Death Emperor is the source and embodiment of the power of Black Light, but in fact he cannot come directly to the real world, and his power needs a substitute in the real world.

Black Light Bringer.

In the original timeline of Darkest Nights, the chosen messenger of the black light was William Hand, a madman with an unusual obsession with death, who was originally just an ordinary human, but after witnessing the battle between the red lantern demon Atohitas and the green lantern Hal Jordan, he became obsessed with extinguishing all the colored lights to bring darkness.

Later, after he committed suicide, he became the spokesperson of the Black Light Power, the first and only self-aware Black Light Corpse.

And only he can control other black light corpses that originally only relied on instinct to act before the Black Death Emperor descends to lay out the battle - of course, this guy's IQ is not very high, so generally speaking, he can only arrange F2A tactics.

However, William Hand of this world is destined to become impossible to become a "black hand", and when the precursor of the darkest night appeared, Red had already found this guy, and simply solved it neatly and cremated it completely.

Anyway, this guy is also a madman murderer who killed his whole family, and there is no psychological pressure on him to be sentenced to death for him privately.

However, Red also knew that this was a palliative solution, and even without Williamhand, the Black Death Emperor might choose another agent...... And now, it seems, what Red feared has happened.

Solstice Night has begun, and the new Black Light Messenger is inside this Olympus.

Pollux bit his lower lip and whispered with tears in his eyes.

"In that case, we must defeat them quickly, and we must not let them continue to desecrate the corpses of the gods—ah!"

Suddenly, Pollux covered his mouth, and then the hand that grabbed Red immediately tensed.

It was no wonder that she reacted this way, because in front of a building not far in front of her, two Olympian goddesses, Demeter and Aphrodite, could be seen standing here.

"Don't worry, it seems that we've just noticed that we've blocked out the control signals for the surrounding Olympians."

Red didn't feel the slightest nervousness or surprise, but said calmly and lightly.

"Screen, shield?"

"Well, the other party is not stupid, and he didn't take us as stupid, since these Olympians were resurrected like this, they must have been designed to be used as props to confuse us...... However, due to the Golden Deer's automatic energy intelligence shielding field, they are all turned into puppets who cannot react to us. ”

Red pointed to the Golden Deer overhead, this pirate ship that was originally sailing on the sea, but now literally became an airship, floating hundreds of meters above the ground, moving slowly with Red's coordinates.

"Huh? If that's ......"

"Well, that's right, we're now tantamount to directly playing cards with the other party."

Red and Pollux had almost walked in front of the building where Demeter and Aphrodite were, but even then he and Pollux didn't even hold down their voices, as if they didn't care about being heard.

"The other side is pretending that Olympus is still too peaceful, I know that the other side is camouflaging, and the other side knows that I know that I know that they are camouflaging, and I know that the other party knows that I know that they are camouflaging."

Red looked at the two goddesses in front of him as if he were saying a tongue twister.

"That's right, two goddesses."

For Red's words, Aphrodite's haughty face was a little more gloomy, and she glared at Red indifferently with a slight frown.

"I don't know what you're talking about, it's just that the god-king Zeus sent us to be your guide."

As for the loving smile on Demeter's face, he said in a kind and gentle tone.

"After all, as Lord Zeus said, you are the creator of this planet, and you are also a very precious guest to Olympus, if you only let the child Pollux lead the way, maybe you will be a little lazy...... It would be better for us to receive it personally. ”

Pollux looked at the two goddesses in front of him in disbelief, both in demeanor and tone, and Red looked at them thoughtfully, holding his chin, and muttered - no, it should be said openly.

"I see, unlike the shoddy Olympians, you have been implanted with a basic logic of acting alone, after all, you are a real god terminal...... Although the essence of the terminal connection is reflected in the situation, it is another story. ”

The impatience on Aphrodite's face became more and more apparent, and she stepped forward to Red, clasping her hands on her chest as if she wanted to lose her temper.

"Hey, you guy don't rub your nose in the face, just a mortal facing a goddess-"

"I don't want to fight you, so can you take us on a tour of the building?"

However, in the next second, with Red's fluttering words, as if it was some kind of magic spell, Aphrodite's expression, which seemed to be about to be furious, suddenly changed.

"Huh? If you just want to see here, come with me. ”

It was as if she had suddenly lost her memory of what had happened a few seconds ago, Aphrodite didn't care about Red's rudeness just now, and turned around and walked directly to the door of the building, and when her wings swept in front of Red, she fanned a fragrant wind with a strange sweet smell.

"What the hell is this, what the hell is this......"

"Don't stand still, let's go Porux."

Before Pollux could understand the situation, he was forcibly pulled forward by Red by the hand.

Aphrodite and Demeter led the way, while Red and Pollux followed her into the building.

This place was not unfamiliar to Red, but it was Pollux, the native goddess of Olympus, who looked around curiously with a puzzled expression.

"So what the hell are we here ......?"

"Welcome to the Olympus juke, where Aphrodite and I will be the narrator and guide."

"Alas—alas?!!! Oops?!!! Wait, wait, Red, what the hell are we here for-"

Pollux's cheeks flushed instantly, and he looked at Red with shame and annoyance, after all, he wanted to help the puppet Diana find a technique that could make up for his physical defects, which belonged to the private purpose of Red and the puppet Diana, so he didn't tell Pollux.

However, Red didn't mean to explain it to Pollux at all, he just looked at the backs of the two goddesses and narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"Sure enough, if the logical purpose of the implant is to delay time and avoid fighting me......

In the next second, the corners of Red's mouth were a little more eager and expectant smile.

"In that case, then you're welcome."
