Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Betting on dogs will lead to a good death

 Sea of ​​Oceanos, volcanic rock island.

 “Chirp~!”

With a shrill scream, a siren with a human face and a bird's body fell from mid-air, carrying a rain of blood, and landed in front of the rocky beach.

Before she could struggle to get up, a foot suddenly fell down and broke her neck.

That plaintive plea for help eventually turned into a "ho ho" sound in the leaky throat.

Lorne reached out and took out two **** of grass soaked in magic potion from his left and right ear canals, threw them on the ground, and stretched his body to welcome the golden-red blood escaping from the Siren Banshee.

 As the flowing divinity converges into the body, the last empty starlight on the bronze altar lights up.

Hundred gold-level sacrifices, after more than half a month of rough hunting, finally gathered together!

And at the moment when the goal was achieved, a fierce burning sensation came from Lorne's chest. The wheel of Hecate, which symbolized rebirth, was turning and changing. The hundreds of divine lights on the bronze altar turned into falling stars, one after another. Falling into the sea of ​​​​heart where the soul lives.

 Hum—!

In an instant, Lorne's entire mental world seemed to have been hit by a meteor shower, and his thoughts, consciousness, and emotions were all annihilated in the roaring and trembling sounds inside his skull.

At that moment, time loses its concept and space loses its dimension.

 Everything ceases to exist, and everything returns to the original chaos.

Immediately afterwards, between lightning and stone fire, a golden flame was ignited in the darkness, and infinite light overflowed from it, illuminating the boundless chaos and darkness.

 Thoughts, perceptions, and emotions are like thousands of rivers flowing into the sea, quickly flowing back to every bone, every drop of blood, and every cell in the body.

 The pores of the entire body seem to be completely opened, and the world is perceived with extremely clear clarity.

 Vaguely, Lorne seemed to be in a noisy downtown.

 The breath of wind, the flow of water, the deposition of earth, the burning of light and fire, the germination of life, the rhythm of the soul... everything around here is clearly reflected in my mind.

 The world is like a living fire that burns forever.

Himself is a bunch of flames bred in it.

  Homogeneous and homologous, linked to each other!

With a long breath, Lorne slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be two golden flames flickering in his pupils.

 In a trance, it seems as if you can see another chaotic world from inside.

I see!

 The so-called demigod is to achieve fusion and resonance between the individual soul and the essence of the world through the medium of divinity!

Human power is always exhausted, but if you rely on the entire world to use magic and control rules as you like, then life can naturally be called a "god".

 It's just that the strength of the soul and the endurance limit of the body will become the upper limit that limits one's own performance.

 Hence, the life that ignites the divine fire can only be called a "demigod".

Lorne's thoughts were spinning, and he was constantly improving his understanding of practice and the world.

During this process, the magic power of several kilometers in radius formed a visible ether tide that continuously converged towards him, celebrating the birth of a new demigod on the Sea of ​​Oceanos.

 The rich and pure magic factor constantly washes away his flesh and bones, making his body more perfectly adapted to the world and able to accommodate and mobilize more magic power.

As if they had a premonition of danger, the fish and sea beasts attracted by the smell of blood in the nearby sea fled in fear, including many gold-level gods and monsters.

Looking at the opponent that he once had to deal with carefully, so panicked and trembling under the power of the demigod, Lorne couldn't help but feel a little funny, and an illusion that seemed to be from another world suddenly emerged in his heart.

 Unexpectedly, I was successfully promoted so quickly.

 Things are going very well.

Lorne looked down at his palms, a sense of unreal absurdity filling his chest.

 In other words, it seems to be a little too smooth...

 “Buzz!”

Just as Lorne was deep in thought, the twelve-sided dice that disappeared reappeared in his palm with a trembling sound.

Immediately afterwards, the blue-gray serpentine dice seemed to be twisted up and dropped by an invisible hand. After spinning a few times in front of him, a point composed of snake patterns appeared.

This is the sign and symbol of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war.

At the same time, on the bronze altar transformed by Hecate's wheel, a divine inscription floated and flickered, showing clear handwriting.

“One of the blasphemy, complete the defilement of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.”

 This, what's going on?

Just when Lorne looked confused, the twelve-sided die in front of him rotated again. This time the symbols were musical notes and strings.

—Belongs to Apollo, the **** of light and prophecy.

 The divine inscriptions on the bronze altar in his mind also changed accordingly.

“The second blasphemy is to destroy a temple of Apollo, the **** of light.”

A strong sense of foreboding came to mind, and Lorne's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold down the twelve-sided die in front of him.

However, the dice turned for the third time, and several waves of waves came into view, followed by new reminders on the altar.

 “The third blasphemy, killing a demigod descendant of Poseidon, the sea god.”

 Sensing the three lines of oracles that appeared side by side in his mind, and the malice in those words, Lorne couldn't help but sweat dripping down his back, and the joy of being promoted to a demigod was gone.

 “You seem confused?”

An elegant and cheerful voice came from one side. A certain road goddess who was responsible for giving guidance appeared on the beach at some point. She was sitting elegantly next to a rock, with her feet as beautiful as mutton-fat jade immersed in the blue water. , shake gently.

“So, you who are lost, do you need me to answer it for you?”

The hazy figure with a mysterious temperament turned to Lorne, with a hint of amusement on his half-smiling face.

At this moment, Lorne took a deep breath and looked at Hecate with a livid face, who was obviously hiding something.

"What exactly is going on!"

"It's a small price to pay for using this thing..." "Didn't I already pay it?"

 “Oh, I forgot to tell you…”

Hecate raised her hand and tapped her forehead, raised her eyes to look at Lorne who was approaching apologetically, and spoke quietly.

"Hunting 100 gold-level sea beasts and collecting divinity is just the nutrients to complete the upgrade, just to support yourself. This is not a bargaining chip to leverage your destiny."

Lon realized that he had been tricked and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He finally understood that in that chess game, he won on the chessboard, while Hecate won off the chessboard.

 From the very beginning, this woman had planned the steps to deceive him.

Seeing that Lorne's face became increasingly ugly, Hecate showed a relieved smile.

“Don't worry, just choose one of the three, you don't have to do them all.”

Lorne had a sneer on his lips, but his face was still clouded.

 Is there any difference?

Three prices, one is to defeat Athena, who is extremely powerful in combat, the other is to find a temple of Apollo on the vast sea of ​​Oceanus and destroy it, and the last one is to kill the demigod descendant of Poseidon...

No matter which one, it is vaguely filled with death flags.

You must know that this [accidental dice] is such a cheating thing. Even if he died, he would not throw that number.

 Hand on, it seems that after he returned from the underworld, Hecate threw the dice to him.

Just because I was somewhat wary of this woman, I kept this thing eating ashes in Hecate's temple for many years without even touching it.

Thinking of this, Lorne's thoughts suddenly became clearer, all doubts were solved, and his cold eyes fell on the road goddess.

 “It turns out that this thing was prepared for me from the beginning...”

"Didn't you say you wanted to subvert Olympus? I'm just fulfilling your wishes and guiding you on the path you should take."

Hecate spread her hands and asked with a smile.

 Lorne couldn't help but feel speechless and depressed.

 Sister, I was joking, who told you to take it seriously?

The creditor patted the debtor on the shoulder in a friendly manner and comforted him kindly.

"Don't worry, I'm not an evil god. How could I just watch you die? That's why I waited until you were promoted to demigod and qualified to enter the game before the game officially kicked off."

 “Thank you so much!”

Realizing that there was no way he could refuse to pay, Lorne gritted his teeth and sent words of gratitude.

Hecate seemed not to hear the deep resentment in those words, and smiled and waved her hands.

 “You're welcome, you should.”

Lorne was choked again and was silent for a moment. Then he regained his breath, held the twelve-sided dice in his hand, and spoke quietly.

“Then, after I pay the chips, can I get out of the game?”

“You should know that there is only a difference between gambling zero times and countless times.”

Hecate smiled and shook her head, her seemingly comforting words extinguishing Lorne's last illusion.

“But don't worry, this dice will throw points regularly in the future, so that you can have enough chips to sit on the gambling table [Destiny] and continue to gamble.”

With Lorne's tearless expression, the gambling dog goddess who successfully pushed the debtor onto the gambling table sent encouragement and blessings.

“So, I'm really looking forward to whether your [accidental dice] can influence [inevitable destiny].”

 “If I have the chance, I won't let you down.”

Lorne forced a smile on his face, maintaining the surface respect, but in his heart he wanted to push this **** of fun who pushed him to confront the twelve main gods of Olympus, to the ground and give her a thousand lashes!

Hecate smiled and waved her hand as a farewell gesture.

 But the moment she turned around, she seemed to remember something again, and turned back sharply to give a kind reminder.

“Oh, by the way, if no selection is made within the stipulated time, just like a random roll of the dice, the chips paid will match randomly, good luck to you.”

In front of the coast, Lorne, who was thinking about how to deal with this dog gambling goddess after surviving, suddenly became excited, his face turned green, and a chill ran from his tailbone to the core of his head.

 But before he could react, the three oracles on the bronze altar in his head faded and disappeared.

At the same time, there were strong winds and waves on the sea, and a tall figure hit the volcanic rock island like a falling meteorite, splashing gravel all over the ground.

A low growl that was both exciting and cruel came from the diffuse smoke.

 “I actually met you here, **** sheep thief!”

Lorne looked at the huge figure as tall as a hill, his expression suddenly changed, and his body subconsciously tensed like a bowstring.

It's him!
