Chapter 456 Darkness

On the top of Mount Olympus, Achilles raised his sword and pointed it forward, with infinite light surrounding him.

And this time, as he said, Ares was indeed unavoidable.

Even if he was angry that the gods did not help him, the God of War did not dare to let this madman enter the Golden Palace in front of Zeus and Hera.

But the good news is that this time he is no longer alone.

In the sky, two magnificent auras pressed down one after another, echoing Ares from a distance.

The three powerful gods released their power without restraint. Even if each of them was not a strong man in this field, the combined strength of the three was enough to make any true god look at them.

"Hu——"

The God of War didn't want to say anything more as his aura locked onto the hero in front of the Golden Palace.

Even if the opponent's victory was only due to the power of other gods, his own failure was an indisputable fact after all.

Words were so pale that Ares could only stop this mortal now.

Then he was brought to Zeus, and he was allowed to see with his own eyes the power that only the King of Gods possessed.

Taking turns to sit on the throne?

Even I, as the legitimate King of Gods and the son of the Queen of Heaven, have never dared to have such a delusion, how dare you say such a crazy thing!

Swish——

Facing the sword of Achilles, the bronze glow shone on Ares' body.

He didn't want to face this powerful artifact directly, but he was an immortal god after all.

At the same time, Phoebe in the sky also raised the cross in his hand, stirring up the clouds in the sky.

As soon as she arrived at the sacred mountain, the goddess was startled by the golden sun rising into the sky.

Without Zephyrus's reminder, Phoebe, who felt embarrassed, once again took the initiative to call the stars in the sky.

There was no sun or moon, and no one knew how long the night lasted.

After all, no matter whether it was supposed to be day or night, the golden chariot that brought light failed to drive into the starry sky as promised.

So in the deep night, storms and meteorites fell from the sky, like an alternative "heavy rain", falling on Mount Olympus.

"Good--come!"

Achilles laughed loudly, and with a burst of golden flames rising into the sky, the four auras collided without reservation.

Mountains collapsed and sank one after another, and only the main peak where they stood stood tall and unshakable under the protection of the power of the God King.

Boom--!

The war of gods, which had just stopped for a moment, was staged again in a more intense form.

······

Outside the Golden Palace, the vast power of gods vented everywhere.

However, inside the Golden Palace, the pillars engraved with gorgeous reliefs supported the palace, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard in front of the long table of the banquet.

Zephyrus returned as promised, and also brought back the ancient gods who did not belong to the God Court to help in the battle.

However, no one needed to explain, the gods could see that for Achilles, who had absorbed another round of "sun", the existence of Phoebe was of no help.

Moreover, since Phoebe came to help, the speculation about Zephyros's whereabouts has also come to a conclusion.

The God of West Wind went to the starry sky, the place where the ancient gods lived in seclusion outside the God's Court.

As we all know, before Zeus showed his great power, the God's Court had never had the ability to take the starry sky into its hands.

Until the God King showed his strength, his power was enough to support him to gather the starry sky.

But before any action was taken, the Typhon Rebellion put an end to it all.

Until today, Zephyros went to the starry sky with the token of the God King, but only Phoebe responded.

Did the God of West Wind only visit her and return in a hurry, or did the gods of the Titan era still refuse to bow to the God's Court?

"Zeus, it seems that Zephyros's method does not work."

Others may choose to wait and see, but Hestia does not need to care about these.

Sitting on the throne that belongs only to the Lord God, the goddess shook her head slightly.

"If it doesn't work, I will help Ares capture him."

"Anyway, he was the one who started this unnecessary trouble... At most, we can just keep him in custody and not do anything more."

The sound of the battle outside the Golden Palace became more and more intense. In fact, the gods also agreed with the statement of the goddess of the hearth.

Although Zeus' previous explanation seemed logically self-consistent, the gods did not understand his choice. They just respected the power of the king of gods.

As a living king of gods, it is understandable that you don't want to have a grudge with the original god because of a mortal, but this time it was the other party who came to cause trouble first.

If it was the original god himself, Zeus' choice could still be understood as cautious.

But if it was just a mortal who was valued that was feared, it would be too ridiculous.

Now that Hestia asked this question for them, it naturally aroused their approval.

"Auntie is right. If there is a problem with the artifact of the original god, we can just return it."

"But letting a human wreak havoc on the sacred mountain is probably not a good thing."

"If your majesty is reluctant to do it, I am willing to help and take down this lunatic."

Apollo also expressed his opinion rarely in the temple with a sonorous and powerful voice.

Originally, he had neither good feelings nor bad feelings towards Achilles.

But now it is different, because the sun pulled by the golden chariot was absorbed by the powerful artifact, and the palace where the chariot was parked had already turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Even if it were just these, Apollo felt an inexplicable threat and disgust on the indestructible sword.

Obviously, although Apollo, who was acting as the god of the sun, did not know the origin of the sword, he still felt it.

After all, the first owner of Levatin was once the god of sunlight and fertility in the nine realms, but under the guidance of fate, it eventually became the murder weapon that killed the sun god.

The two main gods spoke one after another, and immediately aroused a wave of approval.

No matter what their original views on this matter were, Achilles' contempt for the gods made every god present have some opinions.

For a while, the voices inside and outside the Golden Palace sounded at the same time, and only Zeus sat high on it, quietly listening to the opinions of the gods.

He occasionally nodded, but more often smiled in response, and never expressed any opinions.

As time passed, the voices outside the Golden Palace became louder and louder.

Obviously, this battle between gods and men was approaching its climax.

If Zeus' power had not stopped it, the Golden Palace would have been broken into pieces in the war of gods.

Until this moment, as if he had finally waited for something, Zeus suddenly raised his hand and stopped the gods from talking.

"Everyone, be quiet."

With a sincere smile, Zeus's eyes slowly swept over the gods in the palace.

Under his gaze, the Golden Palace returned to peace again.

During this trip, Zeus watched the God of West Wind go to three directions in the starry sky. These were actually three questions he asked, or three invitations he issued.

Now that the first two have had results, the third and most important one is finally coming to light.

"It's a coincidence that if this mortal from the spirit world hadn't made a fuss in the God Mountain, I would have something to summon the gods."

"Because today, a guest just happened to come to visit the God's Court."

"I originally hoped to solve this trouble in advance... but I didn't expect that I would still make a fool of myself in the end."

Tapping the armrest, Zeus stood up from his seat.

The three-color scepter hung silently at his waist, and the God King seemed to be ready to go out to greet him.

Heh... He finally came, but if he didn't come, even if he didn't want to, I would have to limit the intensity of the war on earth.

After all, for Zeus, who had deceived so many gods with sweet words, his most luxurious thing was trust.

You promised me that we would advance and retreat together, but I didn't believe it.

Only if you set up the enemy first, then I will believe that you really have no intention of regretting.

······

Boom——!

Outside the temple, golden light illuminated half of the sky.

The long sword wrapped in flames tore through the divine power protecting the god of war and slashed him hard.

The body, which was like cast in gold, immediately cracked a bloody wound, and then slowly healed in a burst of green light.

Hebe, the goddess of youth, daughter of Hera, the cupbearer of the gods.

Although her strength is very ordinary, she has a companion artifact that most gods envy.

The liquid flowing from Hebe's golden cup can make people stay young forever and restore the damaged to their original state.

With the help of the golden cup, Ares could finally try to block Achilles's sword head-on.

Even though every hit would be painful enough for ordinary people, it aroused the ferocity brought by his blood and priesthood.

Bang!

Taking the meteorite from the sky, Ares threw it at the enemy.

Achilles just split it with a sword, and the two halves of the meteorite fell behind him, smashing a basin in the world.

The more they fought, the more the young hero felt the joy and fiery of the sword in his hand.

It seemed to be eager to drink the blood of the gods and let the enemy feel the same pain as it.

"Hahahahaha... Ares, come again!"

Flying into the air under the night sky, Achilles laughed loudly.

This kind of battle is what he wants, and defeating the enemy in such a battle is the glory he won on the battlefield.

The young hero vented his emotions wantonly, and his loud voice shook the four fields.

So much so that he did not notice that the sky suddenly stopped, and Phoebe and the wind god were full of disbelief.

"Oh, the gods... are nothing more than that."

Raising his sword, Achilles was about to inflict another heavy blow on Ares.

However, in just a moment, the young hero suddenly swung his sword back.

His hair stood on end, and a sudden sense of fear struck his heart.

However, the next moment, Achilles suddenly found that his sword seemed to be blocked by something.

Zhe——!

He took a step forward, turned around and drew his sword.

But what made Achilles relieved and surprised was that he did not feel any resistance.

"Who... are you?"

With his muscles tensed, the young hero stared cautiously at the three figures that suddenly appeared behind him.

A man and a woman stood on either side, and Achilles felt a momentum that was slightly stronger than the god of war.

As for the black-clothed man in the lead... Achilles could not feel any breath on him.

"God King? Or his subordinates?"

"If you are not a member of the God Court, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

For some reason, Ares did not take the opportunity to attack.

But just by looking at the two gods who acted as "servants", Achilles knew that the people in front of him were not easy to deal with.

If they were already enemies, then they would probably have to fight.

But if not, then there is no need for him to make many powerful enemies out of thin air.

"God King? God King's subordinate?"

"hehe……"

The voice was not high, as if it was coming from in front of you, or from far away.

Achilles only felt that the person in front of him clearly did not conceal his appearance, but he could not see clearly anyway.

Holding the artifact in his hand tightly, the infinite light and heat gave him some confidence.

The young hero raised his sword slightly, as if threatening.

"Isn't it? Then you'd better leave."

"This is my grudge against Olympus and has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah?"

As if smiling, the man in black shook his head slightly.

"I wonder what kind of grievance is that is worthy of such a big fight?"

"Someone tell me, maybe I can make peace with it."

"Really? What if I want the position of God King?"

Some were unsure of the man in black's approach, so Achilles directly tried to test him.

If the other party is a member of the Olympus Divine Court, then he will never be tolerated to be so presumptuous.

However, unexpectedly, the young hero saw the man in black in front of him nod his head, as if to express his approval.

"No problem, as the God King... there is nothing you can't do."

"If you want to be a god king, you must have enough ability."

"In the past, when Zeus became the God King, he first experienced a calamity of 'life' and then a calamity of 'death'."

"I have been to the abyss, broke into the palace of the second-generation God King, suppressed the Earth Mother, and defeated the Demon King Typhon."

"Compared to him, what great things have you done that actually want to sit on the sacred mountain and rule the earth and the sky?"

"The big thing I've done?"

After a moment of silence, Achilles then said: "Zeus only gained the throne because he defeated his father."

"He defeated Typhon and Earth Mother simply because he was stronger than them."

"So if I am stronger than him, then my strength is my capital. But since you are not Zeus's subordinate, why not stop these people from the divine court for me? After I sit on the throne of the divine king, I will definitely give him You repay accordingly.”

Still probing, Achilles had a vague sense that something was wrong.

However, in front of him, the man in black just nodded again, and then shook his head.

"There's no need to go to such trouble... Let me make an agreement with you. If you can win, then you can take the position of God King. But if you can't win, I will no longer give face to my old friend, so I have to Please tell me where you came from and where you are going.”

"Agreement? What agreement?"

Asking subconsciously, Achilles saw the man in black draw a black circle on the spot.

The darkness inside is deep and there is no light, as if it were eternity.

"It's very simple, just step into this circle."

Raising his hand slightly, the man in black pointed at the black circle in front of him.

"No matter what method you use, as long as you can shine the light outside the circle, then I will consider you to have won."

"When the time comes, you will naturally be able to take the throne of God King."

"But if you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black still smiled.

There is only one mortal in the world who can fight with him.

Even if he dies once, the other party should be satisfied.
