Soon, the light dissipated, and Hercules fell to his knees as if he had collapsed, but even then he did not fall, but was supported by the greatsword, gasping for breath.

However, White and the others could clearly feel the difference between Hercules at this moment, his long hair that did not conform to the rules of physics and had no wind automatically fell slowly, and the blood mist on his body gradually dissipated.

The surrounding Char gradually dissipated, and finally only the only Char remained.

He stepped forward slowly, taking a stand at Hercules' side.

Even though Hercules was half-kneeling at the moment, Char was still standing beside him like a dwarf.

The figure of the demigod in front of him was too burly.

Suddenly!

Just as Char approached him, Hercules burst into flames, and the blade of his sword slashed through the air with a sword light, slashing straight at Char's neck.

Just when everyone thought that Char was going to separate the head, the blade of the sword stopped when it was only a few centimeters away from Char.

The wind carried Char's hair flying.

Char's eyes didn't change, he didn't even dodge, he just looked at Hercules quietly.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Char, his pupils were pitch black, and his pupils were larger than normal, but they were bright, no longer as crazy and full of murderous intent as in the past.

Soon, Char heard a very old language, ancient Greek, but Char could really understand it.

"This shouldn't be a clone, right?"

His voice was deep, as if he were standing in a large bell and speaking.

Char shrugged, "Maybe." ”

Hercules let out a deep breath of turbidity, then slowly got up, looked around, and looked at the corpse of the titan not far away, and spoke.

"I killed Him sixteen times, He killed him fifteen times, and I will kill Him many more times in the future."

"Isn't it fun to fight non-stop in a place where you'll never die?" Char said.

"It's fun, but sometimes it's boring." Hercules said, "But. . . I can't help but fight, or the whole world will be destroyed. ”

Char's eyes flickered, "Here, there is a huge portal connecting the world, right?" ”

Char had been to Hades a few years ago, and at that time his main purpose was to investigate the matter about Sissi, and by the way, he went to look at the ruins of different Hades.

But at the junction of Hades and the human world, he saw many mythical creatures whose past had passed away in mythology.

They were supposed to be in Hades or the Abyss, but they came to the junction and waited for an opportunity to go to the world.

When he discovered this, he also investigated the rest of the nodes in the world and found that there were more or less signs of loosening.

The reason why the evil ghosts who attacked Longhu Mountain were able to escape successfully was partly because of Zhang Daoling's fate, and partly because of the loosening of the seal itself.

Char used to think that it was because he himself stirred up a vortex in this world.

But after chatting with Thanatos for a while today, he realized that this change had been seen as early as when he came to this world.

The foreseeable future is that in the future, many monsters may escape from the underworld and come to the world.

However, the entire underworld is delaying this moment from happening.

So could that be the cause of that future.

Or a sign

Hercules raised his head and looked at Char, "I've never heard of you as a person, and I've never seen you in the abyss, but an existence like you has no reason to be nameless. ”

"I'm more low-key." Char said.

Hercules had no words, but said, "Are you living?" ”

Char bowed his head, he looked at the three people behind him who were looking at this side, "There is a wizard in the human world who summoned the hydra from the underworld to the human world, and they are here to ask for your help. ”

"That's a really tough thing to deal with." Hercules bowed his head and said, "Immortality is troublesome, but as long as you know the weakness, it shouldn't be difficult, you should be able to deal with it, right?" ”

"After all, the affairs of the world must be solved by human beings themselves, and in the future, they will encounter many such things." Char said.

Hercules stared at Char for a moment, then raised his hand, and a special bow mark appeared on the back of White's hand.

"This is a silver bow from Apollo to help you shoot the Hydra, and the rest is up to you." Hercules said with his back to them.

"You're surprisingly easy to talk to." Char said.

"This is the reward of the victors." Hercules said.

With that, he walked slowly in the direction of the mist, and Char followed him, and the other three recovered from the mark on the back of White's hand, and hurriedly got into the car controlled by Cassifer and followed.

"I have one more question for you." Char said.

He didn't wait for Hercules to respond, but continued, "After you became Hercules, you were the caretaker of the Olympus portal for a long time, until the fall of Olympus.

So, you should also know where this portal is now, right? ”

Hercules stopped where he was, he turned his head to look at Char, "You want to go to Olympus?" ”

"Go investigate something." Char said.

"It's already a ruin." Hercules said, "There's nothing to see." ”

"I'm not here to see the scenery, am I?"

Hercules was silent for a moment, then turned around and continued to walk deeper into the dark room, walking as he went.

"When Olympus fell, it first smashed into the world, smashed a huge hole in the Atlantic, and as a result, the land plate began to change, and there was an extra piece of land.

Then, it smashed into the underworld and finally fell into the abyss. ”

"The abyss?" Char seemed to have thought of something, and looked around, "Right here?" ”

"Right here." Hercules bowed, "That's why I've fallen here." ”

Char seemed to have thought of something, and whispered softly, "So, the portal from the abyss to the human world was smashed by Olympus?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, but at least, it's a direct connection between Tartarus and the world." Hercules said, "I guess the Grim Reaper above doesn't know that." ”

"He really doesn't know." Char said, "His exact words are that in the distant past, there was a great earthquake in Hades. Since then, all portals to Hades have been loosened. ”

"And because of that, something awakened." Hercules muttered softly.

"What?"

"The one that Zeus used to seal here."

Char seemed to have something in mind, "The second god-king, the father of Zeus, the titan god-king, Kronos?" ”

As his words fell, the entire abyssal earth began to tremble faintly, the earth cracked, magma burst out of it, and the sky gradually sank.

Hercules slowly raised his head, his eyes deep and whispered.

"He hears you calling Him"

"He has multiple seals set up by the gods, but even so, he still has a part of it that can be used to drive the Titans of Tartarus.

He is the god of time, able to see through your past and future at a glance, and very demagogic.

Part of the reason why I was in that state just now was because of His influence.

He never gave up his goal of regaining the throne, and after the fall of Olympus, his ambition also grew unbridled.

I've been fighting against Him for many years."

"You can go to Hades for help." Char said.

Hercules smiled disdainfully, "What's the use of a master of the underworld who has slept for hundreds of years and has never been to the abyss once since he came to power?" ”

Char shrugged, "That Great Grim Reaper does have some Buddha lineage. ”

But Char could understand that his experience had crushed his pride.

Of course, being imprisoned by the human beings they despise the most is secondary.

The main reason is that because of the power displayed by the old man, he felt that there was an absolute power in this world that guided every move of all life, including the gods.

Naturally, He did not know what was fixed and what was variable.

In His eyes, everything is predestined, and there is no point in doing anything.

This made him very Buddhist, and even divided his divine power and let the rest of the people act on his behalf.

"The gateway to Olympus is near Kronos." Hercules said, "If you really want to go, you have to face that being, have you thought about it?" ”

"That's what I'm here for." Char said.

"Okay." Hercules said, "You have saved me and brought me back to my senses, and then I will grant your wish." ”

As he spoke, he continued to lead them through the wilderness, approaching the front of the dark storm, after the battle between Hercules and the Titans just now, the environment here was even more complicated, and White and the others couldn't help but stop and drink some flaming river water from time to time.

They had heard many contradictory claims about Tartarus. It is a bottomless abyss; It is a fortress surrounded by iron walls; It has nothing, just an endless void.

One story describes Tartarus as the opposite of the sky – a huge, hollow, inverted stone dome. This seems to be the most accurate description, and if Tartarus is a dome, White guesses that it is the same as the sky, with no real bottom, but rather multiple levels, each darker and more sinister than the last.

Even this does not fully describe the horror of this place.

They walked past a small blister—a wagon-sized, tumbling translucent bubble. Curled up in the blisters was the half-formed body of a monster that resembled a flying dragon.

Hercules popped the blisters without thinking. It bubbled like a fountain of steaming yellow slime, and the monster inside melted away without a trace.

Tartarus is an ancient god, so these monsters must be pimples on his body, White thought, and couldn't help but shudder.

Sometimes he wished he hadn't had such a rich imagination, because at the moment he was sure they were walking on a living object.

This whole twisted hell—the dome, the pit, whatever one calls it, is the body of the god Tartarus, the oldest embodiment of evil, like Gaia, who occupies the surface of the earth, and Tartarus occupies the abyss.

"Here we are." Hercules said.

They followed Hercules' gaze, and at the end of a rocky path was a cliff with the glow of magma shining from the bottom of the cliff.

On the other side of the cliff, an ancient titan, bound by stout chains.

The chain should be more than ten meters in diameter, and it bound his arms, allowing his hands to hang in the air.

He was huge, about the size of the same Tyta he had just had, except that he had a pair of long, sharp horns.

From here, only the upper body of the ancient god can be seen, his form with a sense of power like that of an ancient Greek sculpture, and the lava flowing down his forehead through every ravine of his body.

But what was really terrifying was the very unique aura that emanated from his body, as if he was in the void of the universe, surrounded by a void of darkness, without distinction between upper and lower, left and right, and the endless and vast fear swallowed them.

His eyes were closed and he looked like he was sleeping, but even so, White and the others were breathing a little stagnant.

"The seal is still strong, wait, don't look at Him." Hercules said, "He will see through your past and your future, and will deceive you accordingly." ”

Char bowed, and he looked back at the Whites, "You guys wait here." ”

Even if Char didn't say it, they had no intention of moving on.

In the face of such an existence, it is already their limit to be able to stand here, and they are already very reluctant to even stand here.

Char and Hercules continued on their way, and soon came to the edge of the cliff, where the view was even wider.

Below was a river of magma, and the red lava radiated a scorching temperature, and Char felt a palpable burning sensation.

The lute bone behind him was also pierced by an iron ring and bound in chains.

However, his gaze never took his eyes off the Titan's body, and the power of fate he possessed in him was too great.

The power Char felt in the abyss before should have come from him.

That is something like that. Why he is here, Char may have some more intuitive understanding.

It seemed that Char's gaze woke him up, and he opened one eye violently.

His eyes were special, like a whole galaxy flowing through them, staring at that eye as if he were staring at the night sky.

His voice came from within the huge body, still in ancient Greek, but they could understand both Char and the magicians behind him.

"Son of Zeus, I feel the death of Cleos, and although his power is no longer one in ten, it is remarkable that you can fight him to such a point.

At least, much more powerful than your brother, he has more distractions and no pure thoughts."

He stared at Hercules, as if he had discovered something, and a little surprise flashed him.

"Have you come out of that rage yourself?"

"I said I would never be consumed by anger." Hercules said.

Kronos didn't say anything, just looked at Char, his pupils moving up and down to look at him.

"I didn't expect that in such a broken place, there would be guests coming to the door.

Son of Zeus, don't you introduce your friends? ”

His voice was deep, as if he was standing in a large bell and speaking, and there was a feeling that rang in the depths of his soul.

The bodies of White and the others behind them tensed slightly, and just by hearing some sounds, they had a sense of fear that they were surrounded by darkness.

"Ignore Him."

With that, Hercules prepared to leave here with Char.

"Are you so afraid of me? Son of Zeus. Kronos teased a little, "Aren't you, fearless?" ”

Hercules ignored him and just looked at Char.

But Char didn't take a single step, just stood in the plain and quietly stared at the eye.

Kronos grinned, and magma poured out of the cracks in his mouth.

"At least, your friends are much more courageous than you"

As His words fell, the stars began to flow in that eye.

And Char's past is gradually revealed in his eyes, he saw what happened in Char's abyss, and saw his communication with Tanatos.

But this information was of no use to Him.

He began to increase the output of divine power, and the flow of time was rapidly increasing, and he needed to find His origins.

However, when time went back to the human world, I don't know if it was too much force, and time made a big leap in that instant.

He saw an old room, full of dust and stains.

Outside the window, a blizzard crashed against the window, and in the corner of the room was a firewood burning hearth.

In front of the hearth, an old man sat there, the old man was hunched up, looking just an ordinary old man who was drooping.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to notice something, and he slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

The cloudy and old eyes seemed to cross the boundaries of time and space, and they glanced at Kronos.

It was a pair of eyes that had been deeply ingrained in Kronos's mind in the past

At that moment, Kronos's pupils contracted to a little.

He snapped away from the regression of time, looked at Char in horror, and let out a slightly harsh and uncertain howl.

"It's !!!! you"
