Chapter 452 ‘Rescue’

At midnight, the moon was full in the sky.

The light of the silver moon shone from the west, dragging a long silhouette on the sacred mountain.

Behind the main peak of Olympus, in a majestic palace made entirely of bronze, the God of War woke up from his bed.

The moonlight shone through the skylight on his sculptural body, and Ares looked a little unhappy.

Due to Aphrodite's "reward" today, he had just fallen asleep.

But before he could rest, the keen sense brought by the [War] theocracy woke him up.

There was more than one person in the palace at this time, but compared to Ares, the goddess of beauty was still stretching her body on the bed covered with roses, pomegranates and myrtles without any awareness.

Even if she did not actively exert her power, the sleeping Aphrodite was still enough to charm everyone.

However, the awakened God of War had no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery that had been appreciated by countless people, because in his perception, a magnificent breath was rising in a corner of the mountain range.

Wow——

The next moment, just as Ares expected.

A brilliant beam of light rose from the ground, as if connecting the sky and the sacred mountain together.

However, feeling the breath coming from the beam of light, Ares was relieved.

"It's the power of the sun... What is Hephaestus doing, making such a commotion in the middle of the night."

"Well, no, it seems that he said that the smelting of the artifact is about to make a breakthrough in the next two days, so is this his method..."

Without doubting anything else, Ares just shook his head slightly. At this moment, he couldn't help but envy Hephaestus's talent.

Since the sun was sealed, it's not that no gods are interested in the remains of the ancient gods that replaced the sun.

However, except for Apollo who can use the power of the [Sun Golden Chariot] to drive it on his behalf, no other gods can use their power.

Before today, no one knew that the craftsman god could actually draw the power of the sun.

Even if it is only used indirectly, it is also a remarkable ability.

"Hmph, both of us are born of the Mother Goddess, but he can't compare to me in appearance and strength, let alone a wife as beautiful as me."

"So what if he can forge iron? He is just a craftsman."

With a cold snort, Ares didn't plan to continue watching the other party's casting.

Scared him in the middle of the night, thinking that something had happened, what a waste of time.

Especially seeing that Aphrodite seemed to be awakened by the huge movement, Ares hurried forward.

"Well...what happened?"

"Nothing, just what Hephaestus said during the day."

"There has been a breakthrough in the refining of the artifact, and it has nothing to do with us."

Although the warning in the dark is still there, Ares still said it casually.

You know, his spiritual perception from the divine power is not always effective.

For example, the accident that made him lose face, in the end nothing happened. (See 3-113)

Perhaps it was just because the power of the sun was too strong. You know, the Mother God once said that if the sun had not split, the ancient sun god would have mastered the power to rival the God King Earth Mother.

In this case, it is inevitable that he will instinctively feel threatened.

"Is that so... It seems that the progress is quite smooth."

Opening her eyes, Aphrodite stretched gently, causing the God of War to widen his eyes.

Ignoring Ares's fiery gaze, Aphrodite looked through the skylight at the rising light column in the distance.

The power of the sun was so warm and ardent that the rising sun in the middle of the night alarmed all the beings on and off the mountain.

However, just like Ares, even though the light column rose, no gods went to check it out.

As early as dozens of days ago, the casting of Hephaestus was already well known, so naturally no one would be surprised.

But as she looked at it, Aphrodite suddenly found that something else seemed to appear in her sight.

"What is that...?"

The beam of light dissipated in an instant, and the originally scattered light seemed to return to the origin.

On the mountain where Hephaestus was, a spot of light flashed for a moment.

The next moment, Ares, who was facing the goddess of beauty, felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and he turned his head subconsciously.

However, what appeared in his eyes was only a light that seemed to be able to split the sea.

"Ares..."

"Die!"

Boom--!

Like the morning star colliding with the earth, Mount Olympus could not help but stop for a moment, and then, starting with the mountain where the god of war was, one-sixth of the mountain range in the south began to break off inch by inch.

In an instant, all the gods who were still on the mountain realized that something was wrong, but they were too late to rescue.

At the same time, Achilles, who was standing in the sky, was shocked to see the results of his sword.

Just waving his hand, the thousands of miles of Olympus collapsed in front of him, splashing up smoke and dust.

Even though the main peak was still majestic, it was the first time that the young hero had seen such a scene in the past years.

Once, the Centaur had told him that a true war between gods could penetrate the earth and even tear the sky apart.

The supreme primordial gods could even make the stars fall, the sun approach the sea, and even shatter the sky.

But from childhood to adulthood, Achilles had never really seen such a scene.

In his cognition, he only knew that even the goddess of hunting had to draw her bow and arrow, and the monarch of the sea had to be speechless in front of the top demigod.

Across the power of the Styx, Achilles was not moved by the power of the gods until he was struck by divine power not long ago.

However, at this moment, this overwhelming scene made the young hero lose his voice.

"this……"

"...Is this the true power of gods?"

"Or is this just the power of this divine sword?"

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, a hero who has never truly wielded such power cannot judge the strength at all. He only knows that the actions of the gods before him were not as powerful as this sword.

With his eyes shining slightly, Achilles strode forward and thrust his sword towards the place where Ares' aura was.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Although he didn’t know why the majestic God of War failed to react to his attack just now, Achilles would not show mercy.

The boundless sense of power was rushing towards him along the edge of the sword. At this moment, the young hero felt that he was invincible.

"Ares...get out!"

boom--!

The loud voice echoed on the sacred mountain, and Achilles laughed out loud.

So what about the God King? He first dealt with this person who was blocking the way, and then learned the tricks of the gods one by one.

"Come--"

"——Come and fight!"

Just like the sun rising on the sacred mountain, the entire east of Mount Olympus changed from night to day.

The collision between the sun and the war began on the sacred mountain.

······

boom--

boom--

Rumble——!

…

Above the Olympus Mountains, a war between gods that has not been seen in thousands of years is breaking out.

However, on the main peak, it was as if nothing had happened.

Zeus was at the top of the Golden Palace and was happily watching the vibrations and roars in the distance.

It's like an accompaniment to wine, or a grand play.

The God King just used his power to fix the main peak of Mount Olympus, and then turned a blind eye.

Unlike Zeus, in the Golden Palace at this time, gods were walking in one after another and sitting down in their respective positions.

They were all awakened by Achilles' movements and came here to wait for Zeus' orders.

Ares was fighting hard, but none of the gods present came to help him.

This is not because of any grudges, but because everyone knows that the God King has not been out recently.

Since he didn't leave, there must be a reason why Zeus didn't immediately suppress the mortals who shook the sacred mountain.

Rather than stopping the battle itself, the gods wanted to know the answer to this question.

If Zeus actually has another relationship with that human...then why would they take action.

"His Majesty."

Time passed by, and as the gods who stayed on the sacred mountain gradually arrived, someone finally couldn't help but come out.

"The prisoners captured by the God of War are wreaking havoc on the sacred mountain, and His Highness Ares is fighting the enemy."

"I don't know...does your majesty have any orders?"

"……Um?"

After drinking a glass of fine wine, Zeus motioned to the youth goddess beside him to refill it. He seemed to have just noticed the dispute outside the Golden Palace.

Reaching out and tapping the table, the God King looked around at the gods, then smiled and spoke under the gazes of various eyes.

"I know the mortals who are causing trouble outside."

"He was just the daughter of Poseidon and a mortal. Fortunately, he received the help of the Goddess of Styx and became immortal."

"However, his own strength is limited, and he should not have such power to wreak havoc on the sacred mountain. It is only the weapons in his hands that give him strength, which makes him as powerful as he is today."

"I just looked at that weapon...but I can't take action."

"weapon?"

Some gods were surprised. They came in such a hurry that they didn't even notice the sword in Achilles' hand.

Some gods were paying attention secretly, and they saw the powerful divine sword on their way here.

It was a high-level artifact comparable to the [Thunder Arrow], but for some reason, it was able to be used to its full power by that human being.

Judging from Zeus's attitude, I'm afraid there really is a secret here.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what's so special about that divine sword?"

On the high platform that belonged to the main god alone, the God of Wind, who had just returned to the sacred mountain today, bowed slightly.

Although Zeus said nothing when he saw this, he was very satisfied in his heart.

As expected, he was indeed his most favored subordinate, so he was specially called back today.

Even if you don't need to give instructions in advance, you still know what the key to the problem is.

"This sword does not belong to me, nor is it a treasure of the gods on earth."

"Thousands of years ago, when I first ascended to the throne of God King, I went to visit the Spirit Lord and Earth Mother."

"As expected, that sword should come from the spirit world."

With a smile on his face, Zeus noticed the changing expressions of the gods.

"As you all know, I have always respected the original gods since I succeeded as the God King."

"Even if the Earth Mother comes to attack, if she doesn't want to overturn the sacred mountain, I don't want to embarrass her."

"Now that this human being has been given a sword by the Lord of the Spirit World, he will definitely be favored in the future. If I kill him, I will inevitably cause trouble."

"So I wonder who among you is willing to take action for me and capture this madman who offended the sacred mountain?"

Silently, Zeus blurred the concept.

No one stipulates that if you hold a sword from the spirit world, it must be under the will of the master of the spirit world.

What's more, whether this sword is related to the spiritual world is just Zeus's word now.

But at this moment, no one pointed out the problem.

After all, this is a high-level artifact that has never been seen before, and only the Ancient God of Creation can control it.

From the perspective of the gods of Olympus, no one would dare to lend out such a divine weapon without permission, except for the nod of the original god himself.

So the story should not be false, and the origin of this human is indeed true.

But now that the identity is confirmed, the question is. Since this is true, who should take action to capture him?

Although few of the gods have seen Ryan fight with all his strength, the three words "original god" are enough to make them dare not speak.

"... Your Majesty, this matter is probably not simple."

In the silence, the God of the West Wind broke the peace again.

And Zeus raised his hand slightly, motioning him to continue.

"Regarding the matter between His Majesty Ares and this human... let's not talk about right or wrong for now."

"But if the gods of the Divine Court take action, it will inevitably cause some trouble."

"You must know that since your majesty ascended the throne, your divine power has been supreme. First, you suppressed the Earth Mother, and then defeated Typhon. Even the ancient gods of creation would not dare to underestimate your majesty's reputation."

"This is a good thing, but in today's matter, if the gods of the Divine Court take action, it will inevitably be regarded as a contest between your majesty and the ancient gods. Regardless of whether you win or lose in the end, it will only cause trouble."

The wind god's words were stern. Regardless of whether they looked down on Zephyros on weekdays, the gods could not help but nod secretly at this time.

It's good not to take action. The tragic scene of the battle with Typhon is still vivid in their minds.

As for Zeus, he also nodded slightly, and seemed to be very troubled by Zephyros's words.

"Then how should we deal with it in your opinion?"

"I think your majesty can write a letter and send people to invite the secluded gods to come here to help, and they should not refuse."

"In this way, not only can your majesty avoid the conflict with the ancient gods and prevent a catastrophe, but it will also prevent the majesty of the gods from disappearing and mortals from looking down on the existence of the gods."

With a respectful look, Zephyros continued.

"What's more, there are many capable people in the starry sky and the sea, who are not inferior to the main gods. As long as one or two can be invited, I think someone will be able to subdue this mortal and restore peace to the mountain."

"Good!"

The king of gods laughed when he heard the words, clapping his hands gently.

He then slowly swept his eyes over the gods and asked for their opinions.

"Do you have any objections to the suggestion of the wind god?"

Zeus spoke, and naturally no one would have any objections.

It's not them who are doing the work anyway, so anyone else can do it.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Zeus turned his gaze back and continued to ask: "Since all the gods have no objection, then the matter is settled."

"But who should we ask for help is also a question."

"But it is not necessary to trouble two masters for one thing. Zephyrus, you take my token and go on my behalf."

"Like before, I believe you will not let me down."
