Chapter 15: The City of the Underworld
Chapter 15: The City of Hades
Without personal experience, it is difficult to imagine such an environment, and the grandeur and solemnity are no longer enough to describe the scene that Wu Chun and others are seeing in front of them at this moment.
They were standing on thick chains, one side of which was more than five meters wide, and it felt spacious. Looking down and forgetting is an endless abyss with red threads. The lower end of the chain is similarly hidden in the darkness, and the other end slopes slightly upward, at the end of which is a land that resembles a floating island or even a floating city.
There is a faint building complex with a unique style and a strong sense of faith. If you look it backwards, the top of the tallest building in the center of the complex reaches to the ground! Yes, because not far from the top is a layer of red rock, which is basically flat. According to Wu Chun's inference, this place is already close to the ground, and it may be possible to reach it after the top.
Below the floating islands of the complex are inverted conical cliffs, and at the lower end are hidden in the darkness. Several chains protruded from all directions, some leading to the rock layer at the top, while others were hidden downward, as if they were holding the complex in place.
"That's the city of Hades, where the ruler of the underworld lives, and the central building is the temple of Hades, hmph, that bastard will enjoy it, even if he lives in hell. Kratos' voice was a little angry, and Hades was also one of his targets.
Wu Chun nodded, in fact, he also thought that it was the current destination. In the place where the rulers of the underworld live, there will definitely be no shortage of gods, and along the way, Wu Chun and they have encountered countless miscellaneous soldiers, in addition to some low-level skeleton soldiers, evil bats, resentful spirits, sheep-headed people, etc., as well as relatively powerful cyclops, centaur warriors, etc., but they have not encountered a single godhouse.
According to the news, the group of snow suits has already killed two gods. One is Hekathe, the goddess of ghosts and magic, and the other is Charon, the goddess of the river Styx. Speaking of which, they were in danger when they fought against Hecate, and it is difficult to say if it weren't for the appearance of the War King. But when it comes to dealing with Charon, the god of the Styx, it's easy, and the rewards are a little lower than Hekate's.
In Wu Chun's opinion, these two gods are not of the same grade. After all, Hekate is second only to the main god, and is in charge of such esoteric things as ghosts and magic. And Charon is just a ferryman, the difference is that he never pulls a living person, and now the only time he pulls a living person is the result of falling.
Hong Yinbao's side also killed a god's mansion, and to Wu Chun's surprise, they killed one of the twelve main gods! Hong Yinbao and they were very lucky, because they encountered Hephaestus, the god of flames and craftsmen who was not very belligerent.
Hezhestus is the son of Zeus and Hera, and no one would have imagined that among the gods with a rather handsome appearance, Hezhestus would appear such an ugly wonder, his facial features seem to be patched together, how ugly and ugly it is. Hepistus was the ugliest god of all the gods, and unfortunately he was still lame. But that guy married the most beautiful goddess Aphrodite, and I don't know how that goddess took a fancy to him.
Hezhestus was the god of fire and the blacksmith of the gods. He had a high degree of skill and made many famous weapons, tools, and works of art. The chariot driven by Apollo, and the golden and silver arrows of Eros, were all forged by him. According to the plot of the world of the god of war, since the death of the former god of war Ares, Hezhestus was imprisoned by Zeus in the underworld to live a dark life, and his "daughter" Pandora was also imprisoned by Zeus.
As a result, during the battle with Hezhestus, the fat man was a little touched by the gentle side of the ugly giant, and promised him to help him find Pandora. As a result, there is an unalterable, undeniable hidden quest to find Pandora and tell her the news of his father's death!
And after accepting the task, Hezhestus didn't fight back, and was killed by everyone, and even Gu Lian complained. "I didn't do anything at all!"
However, Wu Chun is not worried about the hidden mission, it does not seem difficult to find Pandora, because Pandora is in the underworld where they will go next.
As for the last group, it was also a group gathered by the three captains, and they, like Wu Chun, did not touch the Divine Mansion. According to the news they came from not long ago, it seems that it is not far from the underworld. Each of the four groups has its own gains, but this is just the beginning. When Wu Chun fought Hattori Hanzo, he immediately realized that this time the world would not be so peaceful.
"War King, Hattori Hanzo is here, it's no coincidence, it's very likely that the four powerhouses have all entered this world, the Hidden King may be very anxious to find me for revenge, the Evil Emperor's current position is unknown, but the possibility of the opposite side is relatively large, and the War King frequently shows favor Although it should be an ally, it gives people a somewhat unreal feeling. Freya is definitely on my side, and now that there is a Hattori Hanzo who is not as strong as ever, it seems that the situation is much more complicated than I imagined!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Chun conveyed his judgment to the other three groups and told them to be careful. Especially in the snow suits, all team members are ready to use the certificate of concentricity at any time to prevent unnecessary losses.
In the end, Wu Chun planned to continue his journey of killing gods. After all, the world of God of War is also relatively grand, and the probability of meeting together in this world is not high. Like last time, he suddenly ran into Hattori Hanzo who used some kind of transfer prop, this probability is quite small, even if it does, the certificate of concentricity is also the most favorable guarantee for everyone, Wu Chun is confident that if the five teams are gathered together, both Yinjun and Hattori Hanzo will be sure to destroy them all. But at that point, it may come at a huge cost.
Climbing up the chain, it may seem very far away, but in fact, it only takes twenty minutes to walk the city of Hades. After getting closer, he found that the area of the underworld was far more huge than he imagined, Wu Chun couldn't help but admire the greatness of the Creator again, if it wasn't for the purpose, Wu Chun really planned to accompany Xueyi to take a good look here.
The end of the chain goes straight to the land, just like the real ground, with flowers, trees, and even clear rivers and streams. Except that the light is not so bright and dark red, everything else is no different from the ground.
The place where Wu Chun landed was a luxurious palace-like building, and unlike ordinary palaces, there were statues erected on the outside, in the courtyard, or on the building, and the statues looked exactly the same. It was a handsome man wearing a light blue cloak, simple but majestic armor, and a handsome face.
Both sides of the palace are completely dead-end, and the rivers on both sides are blocked by thorns. Wu Chun tried it, once he entered those thorny grasses, his vitality would drop exaggeratedly and rapidly, and it seemed that it was not a light yƬ that could pass by. The only way left to go is the main entrance of the palace, and it is obvious that if you don't get to the palace, you don't want to go inside the city.
It doesn't matter, you don't even need to bother Wu Chun, because the protagonist of the plot, Kui Ye, is an expert in this area. I saw this bald head look left and right, and soon found a small and delicate mechanism at the gate of the palace.
The location of the mechanism was on the quaint pillar next to the gate, and there was a square mark, and there were two obvious diamond-shaped grooves in it, and it was clear that the groove should have been filled with something.
Kratos crossed his arms, touched his goatee with one hand, and whispered softly, "It looks like it's supposed to be the mechanism of the gate, and if you can't find some kind of diamond-shaped item, you may not be able to enter it with brute force alone." ā
The crowd immediately searched the vicinity in an attempt to find the diamond-shaped object. However, Wu Chun looked at the river bank in the distance, where there was a creature moving fast, its speed was very fast, and the direction of running was Wu Chun's side.
"Roar!" the creature came up from the nearby riverbank and landed in front of the villa, shouting at a few people.
"Kratos, don't look for it!" Wu Chun immediately shouted to Kratos after glancing at the creature.
"Hmm, that kind of monster can just take it out, how can you open the door if you don't find something!" Kratos said dissatisfied, without stopping.
The battle along the way Kratos had fully recognized Wu Chun's strength, and in his opinion, this kind of crumbs could be solved casually, and there was still a need to call him, but when he looked up and saw the creature, he understood what was going on.
The creature's head was shaped like a wolf, but its mouth was more protruding, a little closer to that of a crocodile. The body is quite majestic, with a high row of manes in the middle of the back mane, and the four large claws look very sharp, and there is a faint purple glow. Its tail is also very distinctive, and the tail is like a sharp mouth full of fangs, constantly opening and closing.
But what attracted everyone more was the pile of purple glowing eyes, which were impressively diamond-shaped, and looked exactly like the shape of the grooves on the mechanism. After seeing those eyes, Kratos understood why Wu Chun said that he didn't need to look for them.
Kratos then took out the Banishing Blades and walked towards the creature with a malicious expression.
As if sensing something wrong, the originally vicious creature began to slowly retreat after seeing Kratos pull out the weapon that exuded divine power, until its ass reached the corner of the villa. From the monster's expression, it is not difficult to see that it is regretting it, but this regret is directly ignored by Kui Ye.
......
After a few moments, Kratos placed a pair of gem-shaped objects into the groove, shook the red slime on his hand, and wiped it on his muscular body. Tifa, who watched this scene, turned his head slightly.
There was a crisp sound, and after putting the monster's eyes into the groove, the door outside the palace automatically opened slowly to both sides! After a few people looked at each other, they walked inside.
It seems that there is some kind of trick or mechanism, standing outside the palace courtyard can only see the buildings inside, and as for the courtyard, it is empty and you can't see anything. But after actually walking in, Wu Chun found that there was more green and quiet lawn on the ground, and the edges were full of flowers, all of which were poppies. There are also gazebos and tables for resting on both sides, and even standing in the courtyard and looking at the scenery outside is completely different.
The white clouds are swirling, the fog is rising, no matter how you look at it, it is not related to the underworld hell or anything, if you have to say, this place is more like heaven.
"It's beautiful!" Just as a few people were carefully observing this magical scene, a slightly magnetic voice sounded that attracted the ears of others.
