Chapter 69: God's Justice and the Swing of the Sword
The sea rolls over the land, and the rivers mix with it. The corpses of broken trees, rocks, and animals floated on the water, and huge black shadows lurked beneath them.
The Aurora Plains, the core of the original bronze humans, have turned into an ocean, and even the sea water is still surging around.
None of the humans who fled the city and tried to hide in the mountains and forests were spared, either drowning or being fed by the behemoths in the water. Of all the Great Plains, only its core, the human city barely survived.
But this is not because it is lucky enough, it is just that under the control of the artifact, the sea deliberately bypassed this primitive city. Obviously, as the director who controlled all this, Triton knew very well that there was nothing interesting about simply flooding the city, so he slowed down the process and came to the human city himself.
And just as he thought, on the distant Mount Olympus, Poseidon looked at his son's bold words, couldn't help but pat the armrest of the seat, and laughed with great satisfaction.
These ignorant humans, he had long wanted to destroy them.
Humans have a much lower belief in the sea than other gods, and this is certainly the reason why Zeus ordered that humans should not touch the sea, but this does not prevent Poseidon from taking his anger out on them.
However, at this time, human beings are one, so the rewards and punishments for mortals are often carried out by Zeus in the name of the divine court after consulting with the gods, and a single god cannot act alone.
So after the Prometheus incident, Poseidon still didn't do anything, he thought that Zeus would definitely not sit idly by and watch the deception of humans, but he waited for more than ten years and there was no movement.
Only now, I can finally vent myself.
"Hmph, Zeus is still too weak. Our grandfather and father ruled the world by force, but he did all these crooked ways day by day. ”
With a soft snort in his heart, Poseidon became more and more resentful that he had not been able to sit on the throne of the god-king. However, the scene in front of him made him feel good, so the Sea Emperor continued to watch his eldest son's performance.
Poseidon was satisfied, and Zeus, who was at the top, was also very satisfied.
Poseidon's series of operations successfully received the dissatisfaction of many gods on his behalf, such as the eldest sister Hestia. Fortunately, although the goddess is still gone, the source of her dissatisfaction is Poseidon's children and men.
It's great that we have achieved our goals and avoided trouble. With this mentality, Zeus also appreciated the rare 'beautiful scenery'. In fact, in the heart of the God King, there was no malice towards the bronze humans, after all, the unbeliever who prayed to him for eternal life before still made him feel sick when he thought about it.
Through the projection between the artifact and the master, Zeus casually set his eyes on the human city. What catches my eye is the panicked crowd in the city, the chaotic order of the impending rainstorm, and—
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Zeus sat up straight. He seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure just now, which made him stunned for a moment. Although he had only met once before, that meeting left a deep impression on him when he first ascended the throne.
So Zeus hurriedly concentrated and tried to find the man, but the result disappointed him. The image was fleeting, and when the God King came back to his senses, he could no longer find the figure he had just vaguely seen.
In this era, the vast majority of gods can no longer see through the earth on their own, and the reason why the gods can enjoy this 'great show' on Mount Olympus is also because the Trident of the Sea Emperor, as the artifact of Poseidon, was originally created by his natural priesthood and was in the hands of his children. However, because of this, the 'perspective' of the gods is completely following the artifact, and cannot be controlled by themselves.
"Poseidon, do you have a way to control your artifact?"
Holding the armrest unconsciously with his right hand, Zeus asked as if nothing had happened.
"Of course you can—if there aren't damn laws."
Taking a sip of wine, Poseidon casually mocked:
"But unfortunately, under the suppression of this world, if I use my divine power to communicate with my artifact far away on the earth, you all know what will happen. Why, why are you asking such ridiculous questions? ”
Glancing at Zeus with some surprise, Poseidon didn't know what tricks the other party was doing.
Can he do it himself, others don't know, can he still not know? The [Thunder Arrow] and the [Sea Emperor Trident] in his hand were similar products, and at this point, there should be no difference between the two of them.
Not only Poseidon, but also the other gods looked at Zeus, wondering what the god-king wanted to do. Faced with this situation, Zeus had no choice but to wave his hand and signal that nothing was wrong with him.
"It's nothing, I just don't think it's very pretty."
"His Majesty the God King is really 'majestic day by day', this kind of thing has to be taken out and talked about."
With a sneer, Poseidon didn't bother anymore.
Maybe it was just too much nervousness, or even my unborn daughter affecting my judgment. ’
Seeing that he dealt with the past casually, Zeus secretly relieved himself. He froze, then continued to look at the image in front of him.
However, it didn't take long for a startling sound to come from his side.
"What's wrong?"
Turning his head, Zeus looked at the plump and tall goddess in a green dress.
It was Eurynomus, one of the original protagonists of today's feast, the mother goddess of the three goddesses of Grace, whom Zeus had authorized to sit in the position second only to Hera today. But right now, the ocean goddess looked at the water curtain in surprise.
"I'm sorry. I was a little surprised. I actually saw a man of the Golden Age on the walls of the bronze man! ”
"But maybe it just looks similar"
His face was a little incredulous, but Eurynomer quickly found an explanation. As a sister of Metis, Eurynome witnessed the birth of the first human race at Delphi. Maybe no one else she remembers, but only the first human.
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Prometheus deliberately created the human being, I remember that their family was with the Golden Humans in the first place. It was a bit like the first golden human the gods had ever created—though he was supposed to be dead. ”
"Golden Humans?"
Silently reciting this name, Zeus always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
He was about to remind Poseidon not to cause more trouble, to avoid this special human being, and to flood the world directly, but in the end Zeus stopped talking.
After all, as Poseidon just said, there is a lot of price to be paid for doing this, and the reason for all this cannot just be that the god king says that he is restless.
Fortunately, it was his son who was in charge, not his own. Relaxed, Zeus continued to look at the image in front of him.
······
Outside Aurora, it all goes on.
"I allow you to witness the destruction of your kind, and wait until the last hour to meet an unchangeable death."
Holding the artifact aloft and imitating the judgment of the main gods, Triton did not forget to add a 'special effect' to himself.
Manipulating the trident, the current floated, forming a huge figure behind him. From a distance, it seems that the Titan god who is in charge of the ocean has revealed his true body in the human world, overlooking the city on the plain.
Triton was pleased with this, which looked very oppressive. However, every minute and second passed, and on the distant city wall, he could not see the appearance of the humans kneeling on his knees and begging for mercy.
Are they scared silly? Frowning, Terry stomped his feet, and under the back of the eight sea serpents, he quickly approached Aurora City.
As he approached, the giant of the sea behind him followed, and soon, Triton's gaze was no longer blocked by the city walls, and he saw the scene inside the city.
This time it was finally a lot more normal, and he saw some people running around the city, some kneeling and begging for mercy, and some hiding in some temples - but Triton didn't feel the slightest divine power in those temples, so he didn't even look at it.
However, in such a comparison, the mortals who still haven't changed much at the head of the city are a little conspicuous. His eyes narrowed slightly, and Terry took a closer look to prevent accidents.
That's right, it's a group of humans, who seem to be a little stronger than the others, but they're also very limited. As for the person in charge, he seems to have some familiar sun divinity aura on him, but that doesn't prove anything.
Lives that have been accidentally tainted with this power abound on the earth, and it seems to be a cursed power. According to Poseidon's spare time, there seemed to be several extremely powerful similar substances in the hands of the god-king, but no one could use them at all. There were gods who tried to forcibly harness it, but it turned out to be a lot of jokes in the divine court.
That is, the person who tried it was a god, so he finally decisively terminated this fusion. If it was a mortal, or even a demigod, according to the Sea Emperor, he would already be a madman.
"Who are you, and why don't you worship God when you see it?"
Thoughts flashed, and as he sat on the throne made of the condensed sea, Triton leaned over slightly.
Behind him, the 'giant' also bent down, and for a moment, as if the sky was overwhelmed, invisible pressure pressed forward.
Some of the people on the walls seemed to be frightened at last, and they took a few steps back and lowered their heads, as if they did not dare to look at God again. Triton was pleased with this, but soon he noticed the human leader again.
He didn't seem to be affected at all. The two looked at each other for a moment, but in the face of that sharp gaze, Terry subconsciously avoided it, but then he glared back angrily.
Now that he is a god, how can he be frightened by a mortal.
"You're here to destroy humanity?"
Before he could speak, Triton heard the human ask from a long distance.
"Of course, isn't that obvious enough that I said?"
"The Emperor of the Sea will destroy humanity, and this is the fate you deserve."
Without hesitation, Triton felt that most of this human being had been mentally affected by that substance, so that he had lost his fear. But then, he heard the human's words again.
"There may be some people in human beings who have deceived the gods, and it is natural for them to send punishment, but just because of a god and his wife, who have never paid attention to it since the birth of mankind, the king of Hades sent a calamity, and the emperor of the sea brought a flood, is this the justice of God?"
“.?”
"Oh, yes, that's God's justice."
At first, he was stunned, Triton didn't expect this human to say anything 'justice' to him, is this a problem that God and the world need to consider?
With a sneer, he was already a little impatient. Triton suddenly realized that under the watchful eyes of the gods, there was no need for him to talk to a mortal at all.
So he communicated with the artifact, and tens of millions of tons of seawater surged.
"The justice of God is that if I ask you to pray, you should pray; Let you bow down, and you should bow down. God created you so you should listen to the Word of God, and of course, God can destroy you without any reason. ”
"Just like now."
With a wave of his hand, the giant of the sea behind Triton followed suit. It's not some mighty creation, it's just a simple stream of water, which is probably a big and inappropriate joke to the gods, but to the walls of mortals, it's an unbearable weight.
Triton wondered if he could question himself so calmly when the wall on which the mortal man was standing collapsed and fell into the sea struggling to survive.
"Just like now, mortals, you're just a swarm of ants. Destroy you—what do you have to do with it! ”
When the last sentence was spoken, Triton couldn't help but be surprised by the wellspring of his thoughts in an instant. If it weren't for the existence of faith, to God, mortals would indeed be crushed to death and would not bother to look at it, and he felt that he had summed it up in place.
Then the next moment, I heard a loud bang, and the huge seawater giant exploded with a bang. A bronze spear wrapped in golden light flashed in front of him, and Triton subconsciously dodged, but he still couldn't avoid it.
"Ahh
He was stunned for a moment, followed by a sharp stabbing pain in his shoulder. In the cry of pain, almost instinctively, Triton held the trident in front of him.
"Bell—"
"Click-"
The sound of metal clashing and breaking sounded one after another, and Triton covered his shoulders as he looked in horror at a bronze sword that broke and fell.
When the object collided with the artifact, it was naturally broken into two sections, but his right hand, which was a little numb from the shock, told Triton that if Fang Cai didn't pay attention, the sword would probably pass through his chest.
At this moment, the fear of near-death came to his heart, and he held the trident as if holding the guarantee of his life. The artifact also seemed to sense the danger faced by its master's descendants, and a blue halo enveloped him.
Through the halo, Triton realized what had just happened. The spear in the human's hand and the short sword at his waist were gone, and now, he was taking another sword from the hand of the man next to him.
"—Who are you, descended from which god, do you know what you are doing?"
After a word, Triton thought that he had been very restrained, but the ensuing response finally made him give up his reason.
Because the human just raised his sword, blazing golden flames poured out of him.
Triton, the son of the Sea Emperor, he was so arrogant before, but now he talks to him after feeling the pain, why?
"Golden humans are never afraid of death."
"Just let me see, God, if you are afraid of death."
So in the next moment, under the incredulous gaze of the humans in the city, in front of more than one god in the heaven, earth and sea who were paying attention to this place, Cohen swung his sword again.
The moves of this sword are unremarkable, but the things contained in it are even more brilliant than before.
