Chapter 502 Only magic can defeat magic

The huge warship broke through the waves on the sea. The pinnacle of human technology, the most powerful weapon that could kill its own kind with astonishing efficiency, was now heading for the Mediterranean at full speed.

Their goal was Mount Olympus, Greece’s highest peak, located on the northern shore of the Thermaic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.

They will bring death and destruction to the gods there, and use steel and gunpowder to make the gods aware of the dignity of mortals.

After a thousand years, the mortals on earth once again launched a charge against the laws of the gods in the sky.

Senior executives are optimistic.

Because according to intelligence, those evil spirits seem to be only slightly stronger and faster than ordinary people. Although they have some long-range attack methods, they are quite funny.

It's almost the 21st century, and they're still using fireballs, water bombs, and ice blades! The power and accuracy of those things are about the same as flintlock rifles, which is really hilarious.

The only thing to worry about is the possession ability of some of them. But as long as you choose to attack from a distance, these demons will have no way to deal with them.

Now it seems that the so-called gods are out of date, and now is the era of mankind!

With this in mind, the war began. Most people thought that this war would be a repeat of the Gulf War, and the performance of the ancient Greek gods might not be as good as that of the Iraqi army.

While everyone was optimistic, Admiral Grady, commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, could not smile because he had just received a series of news.

"Commander, the communication is being disrupted. We have lost contact with the USS Ranger!" "The USS Ark Royal has also lost contact!" "We can't contact the USS Saratoga!"

"Commander, radar failure!"

The situation was very tricky. Their communication equipment seemed to be paralyzed in an instant, which caught Admiral Grady off guard.

He frowned, knowing in his heart that it was most likely the Greek gods who took action.

But how did they do it? Was it electromagnetic interference? But why did these ancient people thousands of years ago know this? Wait...

Besides being called "King of the Gods," what else was Zeus called?

"The god of sky, thunder and dark clouds..." Admiral Grady muttered to himself, with completely uncontrollable fear in his voice.

He quickly looked out the porthole.

As if responding to his gaze, a dark cloud suddenly rose from the originally clear sky. Just like an ink bottle spilled on a piece of white paper, the dark cloud expanded at an extremely fast speed.

Admiral Grady remembered the assurances the meteorologists had given him before he set out.

[There will be no dark clouds in the Mediterranean within three days]

Then he looked at the clouds that had covered half of the sun over the sea, and Admiral Grady felt his temples throbbing.

Is this the power of Zeus? Oh my God, is this the power of God? This covers the entire Mediterranean Sea? !

Admiral Grady felt a hint of despair, and at the same time realized one thing: in order to cross the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, the formation of him and his fleet seemed a little too dense.

This was just a small, insignificant mistake in the past, and it couldn't even be called a mistake because there was no force on Earth that could threaten a fleet of this size, but now this loophole seems to have been magnified into a fatal flaw.

Admiral Grady's hands were shaking uncontrollably. He looked at his messenger and almost shouted, "Send the flag signal, everyone evacuate—"

late.

Time seemed to have stopped.

Through the porthole, Admiral Grady saw a ball of fire on the Normandy missile cruiser at the front of the fleet. Admiral Grady was an experienced naval commander, and he could even tell that it was the light from the explosion of a Tomahawk cruise missile.

The worst thing is that the Normandy missile cruiser is a Ticonderoga-class cruiser. The most famous thing about this type of cruiser is that they are all equipped with an extremely famous system called "Aegis".

It now appears that Aegis cannot withstand Zeus.

The Normandy was the first to explode, followed by the ships beside it, destroyers, frigates, and most importantly, aircraft carriers...

The speed at which the ships exploded was so fast that it was unimaginable. If the cost of building these ships was calculated and then the number was written on paper, before the number was finished, all the ships would have turned into balls of fire.

Admiral Grady closed his eyes and gave up command.

Communications were paralyzed and ships exploded. It made no difference whether he gave orders or not.

All he could do was fulfill his duty.

That day, endless dark clouds covered the sea, and all means of detection became ineffective. No one knew what happened there, and everyone only knew the ending.

After the clouds dispersed, the most powerful fleet in the world or in human history, including nine aircraft carriers from three countries and 247 warships, disappeared, and even the submarines could not escape.

As long as there is electricity on the ship, Zeus' attack will be instantaneous.

It took Zeus thirteen seconds to destroy the entire combined fleet.

The destruction of the combined fleet shocked the Allied forces.

After realizing that the war had begun, they immediately decided to launch a counterattack. They sent out planes, bombed Mount Olympus, and in uncontrollable fear, launched all the missiles they could, including their nuclear weapons.

In modern warfare, enemies can be eliminated beyond visual range.

They used these words to comfort themselves, but all these methods were ineffective.

The missile exploded midway due to an unknown force, and the remaining fighter planes lost contact with the combined fleet after flying to the area around Mount Olympus.

As for close-range shelling, the coalition forces also tried it, but the tanks, armored vehicles and artillery units they dispatched were intercepted halfway. There were still the same dark clouds covering the sun, and there was still a field of debris left after the clouds dispersed.

The coalition collapsed.

Five years ago, the US-led coalition forces wiped out the Iraqi troops stationed in Kuwait with overwhelming force. Five years later, they are now experiencing the taste of the Iraqi army of the past.

That is a power that is completely beyond imagination and subverts common sense.

The coalition's defeat swept across the world like a storm, spreading panic.

Only two days had passed since Godric was actually resurrected.

Les, Rowena, Helga, Godric and Dumbledore did not stay in Hogwarts at this time, but came to London and found an inconspicuous Muggle tavern. Like thousands of ordinary Muggles, they huddled in the tavern to watch the news.

At this moment, there is no more important news than the battle between men and gods. Even football, basketball and rugby games have been suspended.

People understand that this is a moment that determines the fate of mankind.

Sadly, the balance tipped in favor of the gods.

The king of gods Zeus successfully awakened mankind's fear of God.

"Oh my God, why are they so weak?" Godric widened his eyes, totally unable to understand why the Muggles were beaten by the gods without any chance of fighting back.

"Because only magic can defeat magic." This was Rowena's answer.

"When I was reading the encyclopedia, I couldn't help but think of a question," Rice said softly, "Does a wizard with lightning domain have devastating power against modern Muggles..."

"Zeus helped me prove this conjecture."

After hearing Salazar's words, they fell silent again.

Les was silent. He didn't expect the Muggles to be so weak and vulnerable in front of Zeus.

Although Zeus, who was resurrected and regained his strength through a large-scale sacrifice of life, is very strong, he shouldn't be so strong, right? Or is it that the lightning field is too restrained by Muggle technology?

In a one-on-one fight, ordinary wizards will definitely win over Muggles. If the army attacks as an organized unit, it will be difficult for wizards without domain wizards to resist Muggles. But if they encounter domain wizards, the Muggle army is no match for the wizards.

The mutual promotion and restraint are so wonderful.

"If you fight Zeus, can you win?" This was Dumbledore's question.

"We can win." Godric responded with confidence, "He is weaker than Odin back then. After all, he is resurrected and has lost too much of his divinity. I feel that even if I am alone, I can deal with him."

Godric's words reassured Dumbledore.

Zeus's power frightened countless people, and whether they should surrender to the gods became a hotly debated topic. The gods required lives as sacrifices, which ordinary people could not accept.

Individual Muggle leaders began to seek help from special "friends".

In some countries' highest power bodies, Muggle leaders and wizard leaders held secret meetings.

Although the Statute of Secrecy exists, the Ministries of Magic in various countries, including the British Ministry of Magic, will maintain weak ties with the Muggle government to ensure that the magical world can remain hidden.

Of course, the Oblivion Charm is the basis for this kind of contact. Once it goes wrong, a Oblivion Charm can start all over again.

At this time, the Daily Mail did an exclusive interview, which attracted the attention of people all over the world.

The name of the interview is "Homelander"

The person in the video easily solved the powerful demon and said the classic saying: With great power comes great responsibility.

At such a moment, the lost people were instantly given a shot in the arm.

Humanity is not alone and helpless; there is still hope.

Naturally, the video was also seen by the five people in the tavern.

At the beginning of the interview, Rice realized something was wrong. He wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Godric forced him to stay.

Then they couldn't hold it anymore.

"It's really yours!"

"Cover your face, I thought it was Gryffindor talking!"

"With great power comes great responsibility." Rowena imitated Rice's voice and said it vividly.

Dumbledore couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"I'm just trying to restore the image of wizards. This invasion of the underworld is a disaster, but it is also a great opportunity for the magical world to be accepted by Muggles again. We shouldn't miss this chance." Rice kept explaining himself, but his friends, including Dumbledore, responded with a smile.

"I guess the Muggles are looking for me like crazy right now - they are just trying every possible means to help their desperate situation." Les knew that everything was under his control.

……

The Cabinet Office next to 10 Downing Street

Percy knocked on the door of the office of Sir Bernard, the Cabinet Secretary.

"Oh, Mr. Weasley, you're here, please take a seat!" Sir Bernard pressed his temple and enthusiastically asked Percy to sit down.

After a brief greeting, Bernard casually asked a question.

"Mr. Weasley, what do you think of the great battle in the Mediterranean?"

Percy was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Sir Bernard wanted to talk to him about this.

In fact, the fact that Sir Bernard wanted to meet him was a big problem in itself. His rank was just a small "undersecretary", three levels lower than Bernard's "cabinet secretary", and this was the result of the Ministry of Magic cheating for him.

The gap between them is so huge, but they still have to meet alone. This is something he should consider carefully.

Percy had certainly learned about the war that had broken out in the Mediterranean. After analyzing the intelligence from both the wizarding and non-magical worlds, although Percy was shocked by the defeat of the Muggles, he did not develop too much fear or defeatism.

Because he felt that Zeus's attack methods were still within the range of understanding.

Zeus did use some pretty powerful magic, it looked like a weather spell, but Percy chose to trust Dumbledore.

(Dumbledore:???)

In Percy's opinion, although Zeus was extremely powerful, he was just a bigger version of You-Know-Who. Since they had defeated You-Know-Who, they could definitely defeat Zeus.

However, Percy did not dare to think deeply about the situation of other gods on Mount Olympus. He was afraid that he would lose faith in the magic world after he figured it out.

"As far as universal reason is concerned..." Percy said a long and difficult sentence. This was a new skill he had learned after joining the civil service group.

That is the ability to make a very simple answer complex.

Bernard lost his patience halfway through listening. He said to Percy directly: "So the wizarding world can fight against these monsters?"

Percy: ?

He was a little confused, but the next second his hand touched his wand.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm!" Bernard quickly spoke to Percy to calm him down and explained the source of his information.

"Mr. Crouch told me." Bernard uttered a name that surprised Percy.

"When he first met me he was Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry, and later became Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. I'm sure you've heard of him. You can check with him."

Percy remained silent.

Mr. Crouch has definitely seriously violated the confidentiality law, but it seems that Bernard has not been in contact with Crouch for a long time?

"How did you know that?" Percy tried to suppress the thoughts in his mind and asked why he was discovered.

If it was Mr Crouch who informed, his crime would be even more serious.

"It's your file. You did try to cover it up, but your method was still a bit crude and it was easy to find out. There are also some problems with the details. You are the first person who graduated from Oxford with outstanding literature but cannot pronounce long and difficult sentences well."

Percy felt his face turn red.

Bernard did not continue to delve into this topic, but got to the point.

"Mr. Weasley, I hope you can help me get in touch with some big shots in your wizarding world. I think now is the time for sincere cooperation."
