The sea surface under the moonlight was silvery white.
The waves were cresting, immersed in a half-awake sleep.
Like mortals, wandering in the ocean of dreams, Poseidon could not realize whether this was real or illusory.
Standing on the imaginary Mount Olympus, he walked up to the highest throne in the Golden Palace step by step.
Zeus, with a blurred face, was looking at him unwillingly, but he could only hand over the power in his hand.
Yes, this was Poseidon's dream.
If he had to choose one thing he wanted to achieve the most, it would probably be to sit on the throne of the king of gods.
The heartbeat speed gradually accelerated, and at this moment, Poseidon felt that his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.
"..."
"Hello? Can you hear me?
" "That big blue guy... you seem to be in trouble."
"Huh?"
Slightly stunned, if he suddenly heard such a voice in reality, Poseidon would definitely be alert instantly, but this was his dream.
Dreams are absurd and illogical, even for gods.
So the Sea King did not have any extreme reaction, he just looked over in the direction of the sound.
In a corner of the Golden Palace, in the painting hanging on the wall, Poseidon saw a white dragon.
The two looked at each other, and for some reason, the Sea King's heart began to feel a little irritated.
The tension rose quietly, and the Sea God in the dream could not help but stand up suddenly.
His mind was still confused, but Poseidon still subconsciously maintained his identity in the dream.
"What a joke, Zeus is not my opponent, what trouble in this world can hurt me."
"It's just alarmist, mortal... I think you are in trouble."
"This is Olympus, and I am the master here."
"Since you see the King of Gods... why don't you bow?!"
"..."
The voice became louder and louder, and the echoes swirled in the Golden Palace.
The whole mountain seemed to shake with it, reflecting the power of the Sea King.
However, in front of Poseidon, the white dragon just tilted its head, and its crystal-like eyes reflected confusion.
She didn't know what the other person was talking about. She just felt the breath of a familiar guy in her dream who she had only met once.
Through the reflection in her pupils, Bai Long vaguely saw a young man with gray wings, who seemed to be showing a meaningful smile to the blue-haired guy.
"Hmm..."
"Okay, since you asked, I'll leave, but I'll accept your dream."
The tender voice was like singing, and Bai Long shook his head.
She turned around and sank into the vast ocean in the painting, leaving Poseidon alone here, looking blankly at the place where Bai Long disappeared.
"...?"
Suddenly appearing and then suddenly disappearing, Poseidon in the dream didn't know what happened, but the panic in his heart became more and more serious.
The memory in the dream never exceeds three seconds, so the Sea King quickly put this episode behind him.
He searched in vain, but he could not find the reason for his panic.
Gray and white feathers fell from the sky, like chains, firmly stabilizing this imagined Olympus.
No matter how strong the warning in his heart was, Poseidon never woke up and returned.
God's instinct is not omnipotent, at least it cannot fight against the real power of another god.
So in the illusory dream, Poseidon continued to indulge.
······
"That dragon..."
Reality, above the tide.
His eyes flickered slightly. Just now, with Poseidon as the medium, Hypnos also felt the familiar power.
[Dream], that was originally his domain, so this dragon is the new manager of the third spiritual world.
If it weren't for the current situation, Hypnos would probably have to meet the dragon.
However, in just a moment, he escaped into the vast sea of dreams again.
"There will be a chance in the future." "
For now, I'll deal with you first... Poseidon."
Staring at the scattered illusion mist, he gathered his mind.
The god of sleep lowered his eyelids slightly, and his heart was extremely cautious.
Right in front of him, the next moment, the poisonous mist that was enough to corrode the space fell and finally touched the clothes of the sea king.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
There was no movement at all, as if there was life, along the seven orifices of the sleeping Poseidon, the hazy mist penetrated into them.
Hypnos saw it with his own eyes, as if billions of years had passed in an instant.
Poseidon's facial features began to decay, wither, and gradually rot and collapse.
At first, the sleeping Poseidon seemed to have no sense, his perception was as if paralyzed.
Until this decay continued to spread, to his internal organs and bones, and even along some path, began to corrode his bloodline closest to him.
"..."
"...Ugh...
" "Ahhhhhhh——"
The pain finally invaded his mind, and he opened his eyes in an instant. The piercing pain instantly broke the limits of Hypnos' power.
The first moment he woke up, the Sea King tried to find his enemy.
However, at this moment, Poseidon no longer had eyes.
Above the vast sea, the faceless and exposed god howled miserably.
His facial features had long been peeled off, and even though the essence of the sea continued to repair his wounds, the bones full of divinity were still visibly decayed and yellowed. The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and Hypnos hid his whereabouts and watched the horrifying scene quietly.
Because he knew that this was not the time for him to play.
With the power at this moment, Poseidon's body was destined to be corroded by this terrible toxin.
And he could only make one choice.
"Ah-who is it! Who is it!"
"You dare to plot against me, but you dare not stand up?"
"Come out, come out!!!"
Poseidon roared angrily with his mouth opening and closing on his bloody face, but he was the only voice on the vast sea.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the roar of the Sea King never had any result.
At a certain moment, I don't know whether he regained his sanity or gave up struggling completely. The Sea King, who had been corroded by the toxin and half of his body, suddenly stood still on the sea, and the toxin that was originally unstoppable also stopped the erosion.
Turning slowly but quickly, even without eyes, Poseidon "looked" in the direction of the god of sleep.
At this moment, it was as if some terrible power had returned to the world, and the whole sea was quiet.
Whether it was Pontos sleeping on the bottom of the sea, or the Lord of the Ocean in the distant sea, at almost the same time, they all felt the power coming from the southeast of the world.
After so many years, Poseidon once again used the power of God in the world.
And this time, he had no reservations.
"Hehehehahahaha..."
"Okay... okay!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
"No matter who it is, no matter who you are!"
"I want you to pay!"
The extreme emotion is the extreme power of the innate god.
Only the most extreme emotions can make them closest to the primitive and the instinct.
Even if he couldn't see it, Poseidon still locked the position of the god of sleep.
He didn't know who the other party was and why he wanted to plot against him, but he didn't care anymore.
No one, no one could humiliate him like this.
Even if he was suppressed under the sea for 10,000 years, even if he killed 10,000 enemies and lost 30,000 of himself, he, Poseidon, was determined to make this madman pay the price!
Clang -
under the endless infusion of powerful divine power, the [Trident of the Sea King] clanged.
Endless waves rolled on the sea. In just a moment, more than one island in the entire East China Sea was overturned.
Carrying the momentum of half of the East China Sea, it condensed the power of the earth.
The sharp artifact tore through everything in front of it and moved forward in the direction of Hypnos.
"Give me - die!"
A roar resounded through the underground and the sky.
The god of sleep was moved when he saw the artifact tearing through the air.
Before, he had heard a lot of jokes about Poseidon. But at least with this blow, even if he could use his divine power, this force was enough to hurt himself.
"Extreme emotions, extreme power, this is the innate divine spirit that is born sacred..."
"Unfortunately, in the face of truly unmatched power, what can your anger change."
Without dodging, or even moving a step, Hypnos just looked at the cold light of the trident.
The space of the present world twisted slowly in front of it, but the god of sleep was not panicked at all.
The next moment, right in front of Hypnos, the space of the present world shattered.
An indescribable shadow slid down from it and collided with the sharp edge of the Sea Emperor's artifact.
There was no earth-shattering sound, no colorful vision.
There was only the instantly disintegrating body of Poseidon and the indelible divinity attached to the trident.
Crack...
Boom -
not only thousands of miles away, at this moment, all the temples that believed in Poseidon collapsed almost at the same moment.
In the Kingdom of Pylos, which had the blood of the Sea Emperor, floods surged onto the islands and earthquakes occurred instantly.
This was not the behavior of the Lord of Hell. He did not have those mortals in his eyes. At least when the extreme emotions of the innate gods were defeated, his authority was also shaken.
And the next moment, in Hypnos's perception, the laws of the world finally fell.
It was just that the part that was supposed to fall on Poseidon instantly shifted its target.
Things have priorities, and for the laws of the world, things that are worthy of His attention are also divided into priorities.
The Sea King who violated the order would certainly be punished by the rigid rules, but right here, something that needed to be suppressed and rejected by Him emerged.
"Now..."
A cold voice sounded in Hypnos' ears. The God of Sleep had no time to respond, and he took a step forward.
His own divine power and the power of the Lord of the Third Layer of Hell were combined and released without reservation.
For the laws of the world, just like Poseidon, he had no time to deal with himself at this moment, so Hypnos was not afraid at all.
What really made him dare not neglect was naturally the boundless supreme divine power that rose from the east of the earth almost the next moment.
"How dare you come to the world!"
The God King had not arrived yet, but his voice had arrived.
Without time to think about it, Hypnos stretched out his hand to grab the trident.
However, at this moment, the Sea King, who had just been severely injured, suddenly burst out with a powerful divine power again, which made the God of Sleep move half a beat slower.
Whoosh -
the next moment, the outstretched right hand clenched and clasped his hands together.
As expected, Hypnos held Poseidon's "existence" in his hands.
Although his divine body was obliterated, it was the combination of his divine duties and immortal essence.
However, in this short moment, the power of Poseidon finally produced some effect.
Right in front of the god of sleep, the [Trident of Poseidon] broke through the air and went in the direction he originally wanted to go.
Swish -
his left hand reached out subconsciously, but he only caught a ball of air.
In just a moment, the [Trident of the Sea King] fell into the seabed in front of the God of Sleep, and then disappeared in an instant.
This artifact, originally created by the divine power of [Tsunami], merged with it the moment it touched the sea surface, and then moved away from this extremely dangerous place.
Even if Hypnos's true power far exceeded it, he could only roughly identify the direction in which the other party fled.
However, no one could fish out the artifact that the Sea God deliberately hid in the sea, unless Chaos could give birth to the Supreme who truly controls the ocean and water.
What's more, at this moment, a great warning sign has already struck the heart of the God of Sleep.
The living God King is coming, and if he dares to delay any longer, he may not be able to leave.
Even now, he feels the silent pressure.
With a backhand press, Hypnos sent Poseidon's "existence" directly into the space-time gap torn by the Atrium Serpent, and then turned and left.
This gap leads directly to the Nine Hells, and is a channel maintained by the power of the interface.
As long as Poseidon enters it, his mission will be completed.
As for why he didn't go in...
it was naturally because he couldn't get in at all.
"Tartarus..."
Flying into the sea, he came to a crack in the ground that led directly to the door of the underworld at the fastest speed.
Whether it is land or seabed, there are many cracks like this.
And no matter where you go down, the place you finally arrive at is either the underground world or the gate of the underworld.
Going back to hell through the underworld is the only way for Hypnos to go back.
The reason is also very simple. As a lord who controls the power of a layer of the interface of hell, the god of sleep will be instinctively rejected by the abyss.
Just like the interface of the twins will not target the sea god, it will not target this worldly god who is essentially like a "sacrifice", but it does not mean that He will allow Hypnos to come and go at will.
So if the god of sleep wants to travel back and forth between hell and the human world, he can either go through the portal of the underworld or hold a grand and magnificent sacrificial ceremony in the human world to block the induction of the will of the abyss.
Or he can have enough power to ignore Tartarus' instinct.
But for Hypnos at this moment, he obviously has only one choice.
That is to go through the proper portal and pass through the gate of the underworld.
"Hiss..."
It seems that a long time has passed, but in fact, it has only been a moment since Poseidon took action.
The artifact turned into divine light and escaped in the sea water, and the young god also left the human world.
On the vast sea, there was only a shadow bathed in moonlight.
There was no entity, just a manifestation of power.
The black shadow was winding, circling from the southeast of the earth all the way to the northwest.
Far under the pillar of heaven in the extreme west, the giant god who supported the sky lowered his head slightly, and he actually saw and heard the shadow and hissing that flashed by.
Wow -
the void shook, and the next moment, the clear sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the sky was angry.
Across half the continent, carrying a sky full of silver snakes, Zeus came to this restless ocean.
The remaining power and will of Poseidon should have caused storms and heavy rains here, and there would be no rest from then on.
But when the two supreme beings set foot here one after another, even the unruly sea water would stop.
"It's you again... Where is Poseidon? What have you done to him?"
"Who gave you the courage to murder my brother, the main god of Olympus!"
Thunder and lightning vibrated endlessly, making a deafening roar.
The God King, who came a step late, overlooked the sea from the sky, and his aura firmly locked the ancient snake whose head and tail were difficult to know.
He did not make a move, because Zeus had already seen it.
What appeared in front of him at this moment was not the opponent's true body, but only a part of its split power.
This kind of power split will inevitably make its owner weak for a period of time, but on the other hand, even if he destroyed it, it would not affect the opponent's original body at all.
"Hiss..."
"Brother... Lord God?"
"Hehehe... I thought you would thank me, Zeus."
"After all, without Poseidon, the sea will no longer have a nominal master."
"And if they do not want to submit to the Lord of the Ocean, the children of the ancient sea god will have to give up their previous free attitude and choose to join your court."
"In that case, maybe I was actually instructed by you."
"After all, for the God King, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests..."
The low laughter accompanied by the sound of snakes resounded through the sea, and Zeus's face was visibly ugly.
Yes, after realizing that Poseidon might be suppressed and taken away, this was his first reaction.
But now, this idea was said by the other party first.
"Enough!"
"The evil god from Tartarus, the remnant of the beginning of creation - your existence is a sin!"
Taking a step forward, Zeus gave up his original idea.
He originally wanted to test the other party's news, but now it seems that this ancient snake from the abyss is not an easy existence to deal with.
So he made up an origin casually, and the God King summoned his thunder.
Since there is no need to communicate, then use the other party's existence to prove your own strength.
"Now, in the name of the king of gods."
"Monster... I grant you death."
With cold eyes, Zeus glanced across the sea.
His plan was spoken out, but so what.
Poseidon is not here, so what he promised to him is meaningless.
As for the rest... whether it is Nereus, Oceanus, or Thesis of the original water.
Just watch, watch my power.
Then, give me your final choice.
······
The figure traveled underground, and the wings behind him vibrated.
Since leaving the sea, the young god has been going down all the way, not daring to look back.
Hypnos didn't know if the God King had noticed him, but he was definitely not the most important target.
So during this gap, he should have plenty of time to go back.
Swish -
the bottom of the dim trench could not be seen, but as Hypnos flew, at a certain moment, the surrounding sea water suddenly disappeared.
If anyone looked back at this time, they could only see an upward passage, not the separated sea water.
This strange space-time phenomenon exists in every passage connecting to the portal of the underworld, and their end points are often the same. "It's much faster than I expected..."
Hypnos nodded secretly without stopping.
This special spatial phenomenon often leads to the situation that the time taken to reach the underworld from the same entrance may not be the same twice.
And this time, he was obviously lucky.
So he continued to go down until the ground under his feet gradually turned gray.
In the surrounding space, laws that were very different from those in the human world began to appear.
Not far away, the gate of the underworld stood there, and Hypnos could even vaguely hear the sound of the Acheron River.
However, at this moment, the god of sleep stopped.
Because at the end of his sight, outside the black gate that stretched across the gray earth, the giant beast that was originally sent to sleep by his flute sound had woken up at some point.
Six scarlet eyes looked at this place, and flames flashed in their bloodthirsty and greedy eyes.
Cerperus, a three-headed demon dog, the offspring of Typhon, the king of all demons, is also the gatekeeper of the underworld.
After the end of Typhon's rebellion, it was subdued by a god of the underworld and came here to serve.
Its three heads take turns to rest, guarding the day, night, dawn and dusk.
Under its protection, no one can cross the gate of the underworld without authorization.
The reason why the god of sleep was able to come to the human world from hell was only because of his unique divine power.
A beautiful flute sound put this great demon, who was comparable to ordinary gods, into a deep sleep, and then left the underworld safely.
But for some reason, Kerperus is awake now... Hypnos asked himself, although the power of the underworld has also been reduced to a certain extent on the gods, it is far less powerful than the human world.
Here, the effect of his divine power should not be so short.
Even if three days and three nights have passed, the three-headed dog should not wake up.
"Don't be too surprised, it really shouldn't wake up.
"It's just that its deep sleep disturbed me... so I woke it up. "
A calm voice came from behind the three-headed dog. Behind the demon as tall as a mountain, a figure slowly walked out.
It was a goddess dressed in black, without gorgeous ornaments, and even her face looked so ordinary among the gods.
But at a glance, Hypnos felt as if he was facing a great enemy.
Looking at the world, there may be gods who can defeat him head-on without touching the realm of great divine power, but there are almost no gods who can be undetected by him at such a distance.
In the underworld, only Hades who mobilized the power of the underworld itself could do it. Once he left here, he would not be able to do it either.
As for Persephone, the queen of the underworld, her own strength was still too weak.
However, at this moment, Hypnos also felt the power of the underworld from the goddess in front of him... Excluding the familiar Angel of the Underworld, the identity of the visitor was self-evident.
"Lord of Oaths, Source of Hatred, Styx of the River Styx..."
Hypnos never expected to see him here. He also never expected that the one who subdued the three-headed dog was not the ruler of the underworld, but the goddess of the River Styx who had almost no sense of existence... Or maybe it was indeed Hades' subordinate, but these two great gods of the underworld had already stood together?
But if that was the case, why did the other party stand in front of him, and what did she want from him?
"This... is a god from the abyss, or as you say, from [Hell]."
"I'm waiting for you here today because I actually have something to ask you."
Stroking the three-headed dog's hair, the tall demon lowered his head obediently.
With a calm expression, Styx raised his hand slightly, and then took out something from the void that made the god of sleep speechless.
"That's it."
"I want to know, where did this thing... come from? "
"…"
With serious eyes, the goddess and the god of sleep looked at each other, but Hypnos really didn't know what he could say.
It was just a piece of paper... but when it appeared in the hands of the goddess of oath, the meaning was very different.
"It is it…"
With a long sigh, Hypnos looked at the piece of paper. Of course he knew its origin.
It came from the fifth layer of hell, the giant tree in the center of [Atrium].
It is rooted in the midpoint of hell, and
its roots extend to three interfaces. And whoever swears a solemn oath to its trunk can pay a price in exchange for lasting power.
In addition, its leaves also have similar abilities.
By making them into special paper, the signatory can be bound to fulfill his promise.
So the devils of hell called it [Devil's Contract], which is also the biggest reason why the Lord of the Atrium is considered by the devils to be superior to other lords of hell.
It's not just power, because power only brings fear.
It's because more and more devils who travel to the human world and try to create "performance" have realized its importance, and as the only thing that can restrain the cunning devils, they respect it so much. Fear of the big snake entrenched in the courtyard, not just its power.
This is not a secret, but something that many devils know... So at this moment, when it appeared in the hands of another Lord of Oath, Hypnos could only remain silent.
Just repeat it truthfully, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Not surprisingly, Styx of the Styx should have followed similar authority and found a certain existence that used the devil's contract, and then learned its inside story.
Then she stopped me at this moment, and she definitely didn't just want to hear me repeat it again.
His eyes flashed, there were obstacles in front and pursuers behind... Hypnos didn't know when the God King would come back, and Styx was not the only one.
He seemed to be trapped in a dead end, and he had to fall into one party's pocket.
However, the more this happened, the calmer the heart of the natural evil god became.
That's right, that's it... What's wrong with taking life as a bet?
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't want to answer your question."
"Don't know, or don't want to say?"
"Of course I don't know and don't want to say. "
With a smile on his face, Hypnos obviously didn't ask the question, but what she really wanted. The same was true for Styx.
As the god of sleep flatly refused, the three-headed dog that had been quietly beside the goddess of the Styx suddenly raised its head, and its three bloody mouths opened one after another.
In terms of direct combat, the god of sleep is definitely not a match for the goddess of the Styx, especially since this is the opponent's home ground, and he can't delay too long.
But at this moment, Hypnos is not afraid at all.
The underworld is the opponent's home ground, but he still has a trick
up his sleeve. It's just a gamble.
If you win, everyone is happy. If you lose, so what.
·······
Hua La La...
Human world, East China Sea.
Not long ago, not long after Poseidon fell into a deep sleep.
Flying the flag of Pylos, under the leadership of Prince Antilochus, the fleet that has obviously experienced war is moving forward on the sea.
The prince made the decision to retreat a few days ago.
So while the others hadn't reacted yet, Antilochus led the crowd out of the battlefield.
There's nothing much to say about the process of retreat. No matter what, the fleets of these maritime kingdoms still have a considerable advantage in numbers.
So after paying a small price, the fleet of the Kingdom of Pylos successfully took the previously decided direction.
All the way south, Antilochus was actually a little nervous.
After all, according to the records of the kingdom, the source of their bloodline, the palace of Poseidon, the sea king, was built in the south of the world.
The prince once regretted this, because if he really ran into the cruel sea god head-on on this trip, their fate would probably not be very good.
But now, he can only pray that his premonition is not wrong.
"According to the direction recorded on the sea chart, it seems that we are close to the uninhabited islands in the southeast of the world." "
It is said that the natural environment here is very superior, and even most places are much better than Pylos."
"It is just because of the special wonders here that even the unbelievers in Silver Moon City are unwilling to get close to here, let alone us believers of the sea god."
With the help of the moonlight, Antilochus unfolded the map in front of him and observed the position of the stars to confirm the location.
In today's world, the west of the wreckage of Mount Odilus is still a wilderness for humans.
And in places where humans live and multiply, the closer to the southeast, the better the climate and environment.
But in this case, the countless islands in the southeast sea of the world have never been visited.
Because there are always some strange events that even the gods cannot understand.
The mortals who migrated there the day before disappeared the next day without any trace.
Even if the gods explored it personally, they could not find any trace.
"Go around here, go to the South China Sea, and then go back in a circle..."
The prince whispered to himself, confirmed his itinerary again, nodded slightly, and prepared to go back to rest.
It was already late, and the bright moon shone on the sea.
Antilochus turned around and prepared to ask the guards on duty in the distance to put away the sea chart.
However, at this moment, the prince's face suddenly changed.
In an instant, his originally rosy cheeks turned pale.
Antilochus was half-kneeling on the deck, and for some reason, a huge palpitation surged into his heart.
At this moment, the prince felt that his blood seemed to be boiling and his soul was mourning.
Before the guards on duty around him could react, the next moment, an endless pressure came from afar.
Thunder roared and dark clouds covered the sky.
At the end of the night sky, the sea and the sky seemed to be connected together, and a huge lightning column separated the two.
The world seemed to be coming to an end at this moment, and this tiny fleet was the only one left in the world.
"What is this...?"
"My divine blood... it... ah——"
The pale face turned blood red again in an instant, as if the blood vessels were about to burst.
Antilochus used up his last bit of strength and forced himself to climb to the edge of the deck.
Looking into the distance, the magnificent scene that seemed to be the end of the world, an intuition surged into the prince's heart.
The source of his bloodline, the Lord of the Sea canonized by the Olympus God Court, the Sea Emperor who shook the earth, left this world.
From this moment on, all the descendants of the gods who inherited his bloodline, their descendants' divine blood will become thinner at a speed of thousands of times, with only a very few atavists being exceptions.
In this era, such a thing is simply a devastating result for a kingdom.
This indicates that the once powerful maritime kingdom of Pylos may become a thing of the past.
Even in the past, Antilochus had publicly stated more than once that humans should not rely solely on the power of divine blood.
But the change he expected was definitely not to completely abandon everything like this and welcome such a huge change without any preparation.
However, he could not change anything because the fact had already happened.
For a moment, the prince could not help but lose his voice.
Leaning on the side of the ship, Antilochus stared blankly at the distant sky.
Is this what he had a premonition before? Fate made him come here to witness the destruction of his kingdom and laugh at his military power?
But no matter how unwilling and desperate he was, what could he do in the face of this disaster that even immortal gods could not escape.
"...Human, are you...the descendant of Poseidon?"
"——Who?!"
His heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Antilochus felt that he was no different from this fleet, just an insignificant embellishment in the boundless sea.
But at this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly came into the prince's heart.
He subconsciously shouted, but Antilochus immediately realized that no one was talking to him.
All of this was a message directly transmitted to his mind.
"It seems so... Your bloodline power is not strong, but I can't find a better target among the nearby humans."
The voice sounded again, and this time, before the prince's response, the sea water next to the ship began to roll and separate.
The next moment, a special stream of water jumped out of it and circled around Antilochus for several times.
It seemed to have finally confirmed something, and after completing it, it finally stopped in front of the prince.
The waves vibrated, and the sea water disappeared inch by inch.
After a while, only the luster of metal remained on the deck.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Antilochus widened his eyes in disbelief.
This thing that only exists in legends and statues actually came to him.
"Are you... [Trident of Poseidon]?"
"Impossible, even in the legends about the gods of Olympus, only the goddess Athena gave wisdom to the symbol of [victory], the artifact [Spear of Walker] with her supreme divine power."
"From then on, this powerful artifact even responded to her believers on behalf of the goddess, and the world also called her 'Victory Goddess Nike'... In addition, even the God King's artifact [Thunder] has never had its own thoughts!"
The prince questioned loudly, and he was actually venting his ups and downs.
The source of the blood suddenly disappeared, and a world-destroying war broke out at the end of the sea.
And he, an ordinary prince, suddenly had a trident falling from the sky.
Antilochus couldn't accept it for a while... However, in front of him, the artifact that faintly exuded a powerful and overwhelming pressure did not give him time to calm down. The divine light flashed, and the prince's weak struggle was useless. He was immediately engulfed by the power of the trident.
Behind him, the night guards who were on the deck had already fainted under the pressure of the sky.
"Descendant of Poseidon, you are right. I should not have wisdom. Even he and I think so."
"He has always regarded me as an object, and I have never had any thoughts - even if he will use the faith of marine creatures to wash me, I will only have a little more spirituality." "
Until today, he threw me out with his last strength and imprinted the secret he discovered at the last moment on me, and I was still just a dead object."
"But at the moment when he disappeared from the world, I seemed to have broken free of some shackles and began to understand what 'I' meant." "
So I did not follow his power to the place where he had the most believers, but came to your side."
It seemed that it was also confused, and the message from the trident was full of confusion.
However, it still tried its best to explain its intentions, and did not despise the mortal in front of it because of the difference in power.
"I can't go there. Maybe it's because I have wisdom. I seem to have figured out a lot of things all of a sudden."
"The sea has lost its original owner, so it must have a new owner."
"And no matter who it is, he must want to get me, the weapon of the previous master of the sea, and the divine authority I represent."
"So I have to hide... But in the end, I'm just a weapon."
"I don't know what the [Spear of Walker] you are talking about is like, but at least I don't want to try to be a god."
"..."
Wrapped in the power of the trident, Antilochus was shocked and speechless.
Such a fantasy thing would actually happen to him.
After a while, the prince calmed down.
He stopped struggling and just asked respectfully:
"I understand. So, Your Highness, how should I address you? Will I have a chance to return to the Kingdom of Pylos?"
"Also... I wonder if there is anything I can do for you that made you find me?"
"I don't know what I should address you. Just call me whatever you want, or just treat me as 'Poseidon'."
"As for returning to your kingdom... that is where he wanted to send me with his last strength."
"But he was probably on the verge of despair at the time, so he didn't even notice it."
"At that time, his uncontrolled and restless power had already been released, and the first to be affected was the kingdom that believed in him."
"Today, Pylos has probably been destroyed by storms, earthquakes, and floods... Even if there are still survivors, there are definitely not many."
The prince's face changed again, but the trident obviously couldn't understand his mood.
It just spun in the air for a while, and then gave its true purpose.
"As for what I want you to do, it is to find a safe place where other gods will not find you."
"You will reproduce safely there, and rebuild a human kingdom bit by bit, and finally, at the end of everything, let your kingdom pray to me."
"Although my wisdom is not only born out of faith, I still need it."
"And I don't want to stay outside just to avoid the search of other sea gods and god kings."
Antilochus slowly digested the sudden information. He didn't have time to grieve for the loss of his country, and was shocked by the content that followed.
So from now on, he, a prince who was supposed to inherit the kingdom, would have to embark on the path of a 'founder of the country', carrying the weapons of his bloodline ancestors, and survive under the pursuit of the god king and the gods?
"...Your Highness, you may think too highly of me."
With a bitter smile, the prince said respectfully:
"With my ability, I can't find a safe place to build my own country and avoid the pursuit of the gods."
"Even if Perseus is alive, I'm afraid he can't do this. This is an impossible task."
"Well, is that so... But it doesn't matter, I didn't expect you to find a place."
"In fact, descendant of Poseidon, do you remember what I said before, the secret he discovered and engraved on me at the last moment?"
The trident swung in the air, its opinion was a stable transmitter.
And then, the prince felt that the power exerted on him seemed to be a little heavier.
"You mean..."
"The secret he discovered is the place that meets all the above requirements."
"Even though he was born as a sea god, the monarch destined to rule the sea, he still discovered the secret hidden in the sea when he was most desperate and risking his life."
"Except for him, even the Lord of the Gods would never find it."
"But I haven't been there yet, so this time, I want to take you with me."
"After all, I am just a weapon, and you are the real living being."
Hearing this, Antilochus finally understood what the power that had been entangled with him was for.
This was not the artifact guarding against him, on the contrary, he had no qualifications to let the other party guard against him.
[Trident of Poseidon] was simply preparing to take him to a place, and his speed was too slow, so he was just prepared to give him a ride.
"Your Highness, I..."
"Okay, let's go quickly."
"The fight over there is about to end. If that God King finds me, you will be in danger."
"Poseidon has always hated him, so I can't work for him... Right now, only there is safe."
Without saying more, the divine light gathered.
Enveloping Antilochus, the trident began to sense the mark left by Poseidon on itself.
Regarding that secret, even Poseidon only detected a trace of it at the moment of "fighting" with the mysterious great man, relying on his own authority and destiny, and there is no other information.
If you must say that you know something about that place, it may be a name.
After all, for many powerful and ancient things in this world, they all have the ability of "knowing what you see".
Even the [Sea King Trident] itself can let a life that sees it for the first time directly "know" its name.
"Vanaheim, the residence of the Vanir..."
"How strange, when did the 'Vanir' exist in this world?"
Trident was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it.
After all, it was just a weapon.
It was strange for a weapon to have something it didn't know.
As the divine power surged, the power that Poseidon had last applied to the trident gradually ran out.
The blazing divine light flickered and flickered until a certain moment, the artifact pierced through a hole with Antilochus, and then disappeared into the sea. At
the end of the sky, the God King noticed this fleeting fluctuation of divine power, but he did not plan to look for the whereabouts of the artifact for the time being.
Zeus believed that no matter who got the Trident of the Sea King, as long as he dared to use it openly once, he would have a suitable reason to seize it.
After all, he and Poseidon were brothers after all, and there was no god among the descendants of the Sea King who was worthy of inheriting his position.
As for the Queen of the Sea Amphitrite... Heh, Zeus knew very well what kind of woman that woman was.
If his own Queen of the Gods was this kind of person, he would have probably taken action to eliminate her long ago, and only Poseidon could tolerate her...
In short, in this case, the God King asked himself if he had a suitable reason to seize this artifact, and there was no need to actively look for it.
At the moment, Zeus wanted to catch a living guy more than a dead thing.
No one could get away with openly provoking the Gods, and someone had to pay the price.
And the guy who had hurriedly escaped before his arrival was the perfect target.
Buzz—
making a decision, the next moment, an invisible thought crossed the earth and reached the belly of the God Mountain.
On Mount Olympus, in Asgard, hidden in the cracks of time and space. Zeus's thoughts contained the power of the realm and turned into another him.
"Heh... Do you want to drag me here with just a split power?"
"This is the present world, my domain, not a place like Tartarus." He
sneered in a low voice. Since others can create such an incarnation of split power, why can't he, as the King of God, do the same ?
It has the power of the realm as a medium, but it also has Asgard.
In the present world, even if he does not call on the power of this interface, Zeus still has more powerful power than when he was in the abyss.
Although the power of this incarnation is far less than that of the original body, it is enough to deal with the existence that fled in a hurry and is still in the realm of true gods.
Tear -
take a step forward, tear open the space from Asgard to the present world, and Zeus came to the underworld passage closest to Mount Olympus.
Stride in, the God King flew down.
Although he has not met the god whose breath flashed, Zeus can be sure that he came here.
Even if he set out a little late, there is a high probability that he will have a chance to stop him.
·······
Hua La La...
Hades, in front of the tall giant gate.
The lilac moonlight shines on the gray land, and mint grows on both sides of Acheron.
The howling of the souls after death occasionally sounded, but they could only keep moving along the river of the Forgotten River.
Outside the gate, first a strong aura swept through, and then a lightning flash came slowly.
Dressed in luxurious clothes and solemn manners.
The next moment, the God King showed his true appearance and stepped into the gate of the underworld.
It was just that maybe it was bad luck, and it took Zeus a little longer to pass through the underground tunnel this time.
But there was nothing he could do about it, the wonders of time and space at the gate of the underworld were so changeable.
As an incarnation, the God King did not change his ability.
As for tearing open the cracks in time and space and coming directly from the human world to the underworld. If there was no authority in the field of time and space, then only Zeus himself would have enough power to accomplish it.
Walking to the gate of the underworld, the God King sensed the surrounding atmosphere.
There was no doubt that the god from the abyss had been here, and he had once released his power here...
Did he encounter any enemy? The truth was unknown.
Raising his head slightly, Zeus glanced at the tall gate in the distance.
The three-headed demon dog was guarding there, and there was no other trace besides that.
"Son of Typhon, Cerperos, as you can see, I am the master of Olympus, the king of all gods in the world."
Flying up, the God King spoke lightly.
He could not find any trace of the god, but since there was a witness here, he would ask it.
"Not long ago, one of the twelve noble gods of Olympus, the son of Kronos, my brother by blood, the sea king Poseidon who controls the vast waves of the sea, was murdered in his territory."
"That despicable murderer fled here, trying to get rid of my pursuit."
"Cerperos, the gatekeeper of the underworld, tell me, what have you seen here?"
"As the guardian of the underworld, have you seen anyone passing by here and heading to the kingdom of Hades?"
"...No, your Majesty."
"As the gatekeeper of the underworld, no one can pass through this place in front of me."
"But the murderer you mentioned...I did see a figure."
"Where did he go?"
Zeus asked, frowning at first.
No one can pass...He never believed in absolutes, especially since Cerperos's power was obviously not as good as that of the god.
But there was one thing the God King could be sure of, that is, the other party would never return to the human world under his nose.
So the other party is either in the underworld or still outside this portal. And during this period of time, he must not have returned to the abyss.
"He went there, Your Majesty."
"I dare not approach, but he did go in."
Lowering his head, unlike the legends of mortals, the three-headed demon dog behaved extremely obediently.
Its two heads did not interrupt, only the one in the middle was talking.
If it were in the past, Zeus might feel very happy, because Typhon's offspring were not as rebellious as him after all, and were not as sensible as their father.
But at this moment, looking at the place pointed out by Cerperus, the king of gods was silent.
It turned out to be here, he should have guessed it long ago.
The god exploded with power here, which proved that he was in trouble here.
Whether it was the power that was unconsciously leaked after seeing the three-headed dog, or because of something else, it proved that he should not be able to return to the power of the abyss directly.
Then the question is, where else can a powerful divine power be hidden in the place where the portal to the underworld is located, and he can't even find it?
"The land of eternal night... hehe."
"Respect the Mother of Night, the swift night... Is it possible that this time, even you will stand opposite me?"
Muttering to himself, the God King raised his hand slightly.
The invisible power rose up and touched the peaceful night.
At the beginning, the underworld was born in the place where the power of the four original gods intertwined.
The abyss was "below" it, the earth was "above" it, and darkness and eternal night surrounded it, rising and falling like the tide, bringing night and day to the world. So whenever you come to the gate of the underworld, you can see that the two primordial gods exist on both sides, opposite and the same.
However, no one really cares about them, and the world has long acquiesced to their silence.
It was not until the Lord of Darkness walked to the sacred mountain not long ago that the gods suddenly realized their existence.
And now, the existence from the abyss has also walked into the holy land of eternal night.
"..."
"...Snap..."
With a clear sound, the invisible force touched and bounced back.
The God King was rejected, just like many gods in the past.
In the past days, they had visited the Mother of Night, but no one, including those gods of the underworld, had succeeded.
The Lord of Eternal Night ignored each of them equally, as if they were not gods, but ordinary mortals.
"Huh..."
He exhaled gently, the existence he was looking for might be inside, and the secrets deep in the abyss might also be revealed in front of him.
However, standing at the intersection of the land of eternal night and the underworld, Zeus hesitated to enter.
Although the refusal just now was just an attitude, or even just an instinctive reaction of the Land of Eternal Night, the God King did not feel the truly supreme power of the original God.
But at this moment, he still hesitated.
Without Nyx's will, the spontaneous power of this realm could not stop him.
But Zeus didn't know what would happen once he made a choice.
Maybe nothing would happen, because the Mother of Night didn't actually care about the god who broke into it, she just didn't take the other party seriously... Or maybe the god had already paid the price for his recklessness.
Or maybe he would cause the other party's anger, and this ancient god who had not been seen in the world for three epochs would come out of his realm for the first time, making him, the adventurist, pay the price.
Hesitating again and again, the breath on his body rose and fell several times.
But in the end, Zeus still did nothing.
It was important to capture the god from the abyss, but the existence of Nyx was more important.
The God King knew what level of power Erebus had, and the Mother of Night would probably not be weaker than him.
"...Forget it."
"If that criminal has a connection with the respected Mother of Night... then if he walks out of here with the token of Her Highness Nyx, I will forgive his sins."
"But if it has nothing to do with him, then as the monarch of the gods, I will not let go of this tyrant who disturbed the peace of the goddess."
"So, Kerperos."
Zeus spoke calmly. He didn't know whether Nyx was inside or whether she listened to him.
But his meaning was clear, so the God King summoned the demon guarding the door.
The power surged, and the power carried by the incarnation began to condense.
Looking at the approaching three-headed demon dog, the God King smiled faintly.
Do you think hiding in the land of eternal night will make him afraid to act rashly? Of course not.
Although he made several guesses, Zeus was most inclined to the latter.
The god of the abyss probably wasn't noticed by the Mother of Night, otherwise the three-headed dog wouldn't be able to remember the other party's whereabouts... For the primordial god who controls [Secrets], she has too many means to cover up the other party's traces.
"Come, Cerberus, step forward and take over my power."
"I think you should have heard what I just said, and this is what I want you to do."
"As the lord of the gods, I can't stay here forever."
"And the task I give you is to guard this exit."
"If the person who comes out does not carry the token of the Mother of Night or other things to prove his identity, then binding him is the only thing you have to do."
"What if he brings it?" asked the three-headed dog.
"If he brings it... then remember to tell him that the human world is much better than the darkness and chaos in the abyss."
"There are delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful women here."
"There are millions of mortals who regard gods as the supreme, and countless people believe in them as firewood."
"Tartarus is not the home of the gods, but Mount Olympus. It is the sanctuary of the gods and the eternal pure land."
"If he is willing to turn from darkness to light, even for the sake of the respected Lord of Eternal Night, I am willing to give him extraordinary treatment."
"As long as he wants, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
Concentrating his own strength, Zeus spoke calmly.
He looked at the land of eternal night in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
You may have entered this forbidden area... but can you stay here forever?
If you can, then he will admit it.
That proves that the other party may really have a close relationship with the original gods. At that time, he will choose to step back and stop caring...
But from now on, I am afraid I will have to regard the Mother of Night as my imaginary enemy.
It was a thing of the past that he ignored the other party's existence as before. Like Erebus, Nyx might have some ideas.
Of course, the best result would be to win her over to his side - although up to now, Zeus still didn't know what this legendary ancient god was interested in or liked.
"Okay, that's it, do your part, Cerperos."
"As long as you can do this best, then in the name of the King of Gods, I will definitely give you a corresponding reward."
After giving the last sentence, Zeus did not stay here, but turned around and left directly.
There are a lot of things today, and he still needs to sort out these things carefully.
For example, what is the purpose of the abyss? It happened suddenly, and he has no idea at the moment.
Did Poseidon do something, or did he discover something, or was it simply to target himself or Olympus?
It's possible, or it may not be.
But in addition to this, there is one thing that Zeus has to solve quickly.
That is, Poseidon was taken away from the world, so who should inherit the other party's position as the main god?
"...Nereus?"
"Maybe I can consider it."
"In fact, Oceanus is a better choice. Unfortunately, due to the oath, I can't take action against him directly, and this old guy is unwilling to take the initiative to bow his head."
"Metis... your daughter is a worry to me, and your father is standing in my way."
"If you were still alive, and if I hadn't done anything to you... would you still stand by my side?"
"Hehe..."
There was no answer, only low laughter echoing in the air.
Although no one could answer the question of the God King, thinking about his mother, Zeus felt that this might be the best ending.
"Huh..."
"Finally gone..."
Separating the border between the underworld and the eternal night, the lavender moonlight shines on the gray earth.
In the night just one step away, the young god quietly watched everything happening in the outside world.
Nyx, one of the ancient gods of creation, is the goddess of night and the lord of secrets.
Under the protection of her power, no one in the outside world can see through the secrets within her realm, and Zeus is no exception.
So from beginning to end, the God King did not know that when he ordered the three-headed dog Cerperos, the existence he was looking for was only a size away from him.
As long as he stretched out his hand, the God King could catch him.
But until the last moment, he did not take this step.
"As expected... As long as I come here, Zeus will not chase me in again."
"After all, compared to me, he doesn't want to be an enemy of the ancient gods who coexist with the world because of such a small matter."
"He already has enough enemies, not to mention that he probably can't figure out why I can come in."
"What if it's just because I'm too weak, then his intrusion is equivalent to adding a huge trouble to himself for nothing."
Muttering to himself, at this moment, the expression of the young god is like a poor child who was chased to the doorstep by social people.
After finally escaping back home, he only has a look of surviving a disaster.
While watching the energetic molecules leaving through the window, he is grateful for the safety brought by his "parents".
"Huh..."
"In the final analysis, it is thanks to the supreme power of the Mother Goddess that even the God Kings of the world dare not provoke her."
"No matter how arrogant Zeus is, he dare not make trouble here."
"Humph, it is because the Mother Goddess does not want to get involved in these things. Otherwise, how could a junior like him be the master of all living things in the world?"
"Under the Eternal Night, whether it is the starry sky, the earth or the ocean, we must follow the lead of the Mother Goddess."
"..."
His tone was sincere and his expression was extremely natural.
No matter who saw it, they would only think that Hypnos was expressing his true feelings at this moment.
However, he stayed at the edge of the Eternal Night for a long time until the three-headed demon dog returned to its original position.
Its two dog heads stared at the edge of the Eternal Night, as if to complete the task assigned by the God King
. But nothing happened next to the God of Sleep.
The Eternal Night is always so quiet, because the Mother of Night is also the master of silence.
At the beginning of the most ancient creation, all the noise would disappear without a trace under the night.
"...Okay, maybe Zeus's guess is right. The Mother Goddess probably really doesn't take me seriously."
"I can come in only because I was born here."
"But other than that, there's nothing special about me."
After a while, Hypnos realized that there really wouldn't be any subsequent changes. He was slightly disappointed but relieved.
For him, it was actually good that there was no change.
After all, his only impression of the Goddess of Night was that he had met her once when she was born, and she didn't seem to care much about him.
Apart from that, Hypnos and Nyx had no more communication.
He couldn't figure out her current attitude, let alone what she was thinking. In that case, it would be better not to meet.
The only bad thing was that, in this way, he might really be blocked here temporarily.
Unlike before, in the Land of Eternal Night, Hypnos's power could not pass through the barrier of Eternal Night and then induce Kerperos to sleep outside of his perception.
And once he walked out of here, the only thing that would greet the God of Sleep would probably be the thunderbolt left by the God King.
He didn't have Nyx's token.
So at this moment, Hypnos can either wait here, waiting for the Lord of Hell to remember him, and then find a way to save him.
Or he can only stay here, waiting for the variables that may happen at an unknown time.
"..."
"... In any case, let's leave here first."
"The Land of Eternal Night is not safe."
He still looked admiring and yearning. Although he hadn't been back for a long time, Hypnos still remembered that there were many god-like lives in this territory of the ancient gods.
Although they could not threaten the current God of Sleep, whether in terms of strength or other aspects,
fighting in the Land of Eternal Night was a very stupid thing in itself.
So after taking a last look at the direction he came in, Hypnos continued to walk in along the road in his memory.
He didn't really understand this place, and didn't know where to avoid those native creatures.
But there was a place that should be safe.
That was where he was born, the plain full of sleeping flowers.
There was the power left by the Mother of Night, and any life would instinctively stay away from it.
Only Hypnos himself, as a being born there, thought that it was his other home.
······
Om——
Just before and after Hypnos was forced into the land of eternal night, almost at the same time.
In a strange space-time that overlaps in the southeast of the world but is clearly separated from the present world.
Since it landed from the sky thousands of years ago, it has been wrapped and digested by the power of the world.
The interface law is active and strong on its surface, isolating all living things from approaching.
And if there is no right opportunity, even if it is known that it is here, no one can enter it.
This is true for Erebus, and naturally for other beings in this world.
But today, everything seems to have changed a little.
Perhaps it was disturbed by the familiar breath, or perhaps it was the explosion of the destined Sea King when he was on the verge of despair, or some other reason.
In short, on this day, a tiny crack finally appeared in the tight space-time barrier outside this interface.
It may still not be enough for true gods to pass through it, but for some other mortals, this place has changed and is no longer a forbidden area that they cannot reach.
"..."
Tear -
at a certain moment, in the center of the broken ruins, the world that had been quiet for ten thousand years finally ushered in the first glimmer of change.
The void trembled slightly, and then a crack was torn from the middle.
At first it was a small gap, and then it became larger and more obvious.
Until a certain moment, it turned into an oval hole two people high, with a faint blue light radiating from the surface.
The space-time rhythmic like water waves filled it, and soon, with a burst of intense light, it seemed that something passed through it.
The hole disappeared immediately, and the vision returned to nothingness. Only the young prince and the artifact that had obviously dimmed by more than one point remained.
Plop--
Bang--
"Ha... Huh... Ha..."
"Haah..."
Half-kneeling on the ground, the prince gasped for air.
Antilochus was soaked in sweat, as if he had been drenched by water.
His face was pale and blood was lost, and the prince looked like he had been severely injured.
Of course, in fact, he was like this now.
[Trident of Poseidon] did not lie to him, and the coordinates it got from Poseidon were indeed accurate. With the help of this time and space coordinate, they accomplished what most gods in the world could not do, traveling through the space between interfaces.
And from the results, they did succeed in coming here in the end.
Even though he didn't know where this place was, Antilochus was sure that this was definitely not the sea he was familiar with. It was
not only a problem of the environment, but more importantly, as a warrior who had barely stepped into the legendary realm with the power of divine blood, he could roughly sense the rules that were very different from the material world.
Here, everything seemed lifeless, without any vitality or energy.
But before that, the prince still needs to recover his physical strength. Because arriving is arrival, but both he and the trident have overlooked a big problem.
That is, traveling through time and space is something that not just anyone can do.
Poseidon did not leave a warning when he found this place, because he was a god, he did not think there was any problem; [Trident of Poseidon] had no objection, because it was a divine weapon, and naturally would not care about the pressure of time and space.
As for Antilochus... he would not prepare in advance for something he had never done before.
So when he really started this cross-interface crossing, the prince almost did not arrive alive.
"...Descendant of Poseidon, this is my mistake, are you okay?"
The divine light flashed, and a thought came from [Trident of Poseidon].
It did not mean to do it, it just did not expect this to happen. After all, in its eyes, this was not a problem to worry about.
"Huh... Ho..."
"... It's okay, I'm fine... Anyway, we've all come in, haven't we?"
"So... this is the place where we can hide from the sea god, or even the king of gods." He
took a few deep breaths, and the injuries on his body were gradually healed by the rolling blood.
The prince stood up from the ground and looked around.
This is a city, at least it looked like it used to be.
But it has been destroyed, and only pieces of debris are left.
But even so, looking at the collapsed buildings, Antilochus' eyes still flashed with surprise.
The building materials are regular, with various decorations and different architectural styles.
Although he didn't know how to describe it, the prince still felt a kind of exotic beauty from it.
What attracted his attention the most was the broken lattices and surface textures in the wreckage of the buildings.
Just one glance, Antilochus felt a little familiar.
"Silvermoon City... No, their style is very different from Silvermoon City."
"These are definitely not products of the same type, but they are each independent, but the final result is the same."
"Sir, these things are definitely not created casually. They must have their own knowledge, their own system, countless scholars and powerful beings behind them."
"This is exactly what I want - but even such a civilization can't escape destruction?"
The prince was excited and subconsciously took a few steps forward, stroking the layers of texture on the fallen pillars.
At first glance, they seemed to be just decorative patterns.
But for Antilochus, who had seen the alchemical runes with his own eyes, he could still tell the very obvious difference between the two.
Whether it is runes or patterns, they were all imitating at the beginning of their birth, simplifying a certain aspect of the law, and finally using it on their own creations.
And there is no doubt that the pattern in front of Antilochus has extraordinary power.
Even as long as there is enough energy supply, it may still be able to operate now. Time has obviously not been able to erase its existence.
What a wonderful craft... But even such things are only used for construction. The extravagance and grandeur here are simply shocking.
"No, it may not be worth much to them."
Gently shaking his head, the prince tried to change his mind.
This is not a problem, because Silvermoon City should be the same.
For them, alchemical products may have been integrated into every corner of life.
Their use of alchemical and rune creations may be like the use of iron pots and kitchen utensils by mortals in various countries. It has long become a part of life.
Without thinking any more, his finger passed over a vertex of the wreckage, where Antilochus found a special stone.
It is located at the node where many lines meet, and vaguely, this stone seems to be absorbing some energy from the outside world. It
's just that this space seems to have long since lost what it wants, so no matter how it absorbs, it will ultimately be in vain.
"A thousand years, two thousand years, or has it been longer?"
"It's unbelievable, such a miraculous creation... I wonder if there are still people alive here?"
"If not, that's fine. If so, I must ask him what the correct way to power this stone is, and what this building is used for when it is intact."
"This is what I have always wanted, knowledge, civilization, and everything that is equivalent to it."
The prince's tone was full of admiration, and he did not hide his thoughts.
The artifact did not say anything about this.
It did not quite understand this behavior, nor did it think that there was anything special about mortal creations.
No matter how powerful a mortal is, it is useless in front of divine power.
But since he is interested, let's take a look. Anyway, humans can provide faith, so the things they are interested in have value.
"Keep going inside. Just now, I tried to sense this place."
"If this is a city, then where we are should only be its outermost part."
"So if there are still living things here, they are probably there."
"I see."
Antilochus nodded gently and put down the things in his hand.
The surrounding environment has all the necessary energies.
For a while, the prince didn't think he could figure out any answers.
So just like the artifact said, go inside first. After all,
if you want to survive here in the future, understanding the environment and dangers is also one of the necessary preparations.
