Chapter 273 Don't come over! ! (6k)
A warm current containing vigorous vitality poured into her body. Thetis woke up from her coma. Looking at the familiar figure that appeared in front of her, she murmured with mixed feelings in her heart.
“Lorne…”
He traveled almost throughout the Oceanus Sea, praying to the gods, but he was the only one who came to respond.
“If you are injured, don't talk and take a good rest.”
Lorne comforted her softly, and the hand on Thetis's back continued to inject divine power into her body to help stabilize her injury and dispel another force that invaded her body.
Feeling the reassuring warmth, Thetis' tense nerves completely relaxed, like a bird with broken wings that had found its home nest and huddled obediently in the sheltered harbor.
“Crash!”
At the same time, a large amount of water rose up from the sea, breaking the brief tenderness between the two.
A wet and embarrassed figure rushed out of the water and cast an angry look at the two figures embracing each other in front of them.
“Damn it, what are you doing? She's mine! Get your dirty hands away!”
Roaring sounds reached his ears, and Lorne didn't even look at it. He pressed down on the rushing figure.
Suddenly, an aqublue narwhal jumped out from behind and knocked the opponent directly into the sea.
Within ten seconds of Peleus emerging from the water, he relived the pressure of the deep sea and the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen.
A hint of worry appeared in Thetis's eyes, she pursed her lips, leaned into Lorne's ear, and whispered a reminder.
“His name is Peleus, and he is the grandson of Father God Zeus. This time he came under Zeus' instructions to force me to marry him to fulfill the destiny.”
The fire thief Prometheus once told Zeus: If he married Thetis, he would give birth to a person stronger than his father. The cautious and suspicious god-king did not want to give birth to a dangerous competitor, so although he coveted Thetis Although she is beautiful, he has never made a move on her.
To this day, Zeus seems to have made up his mind to eliminate this hidden danger through the hands of his grandson Peleus.
After all, as long as the upper limit of the father is locked, even if the child Thetis gives birth to fulfills the prophecy, no matter how powerful it is, it will not threaten his status.
As for Peleus himself, whether in terms of ability or achievements, there is nothing to mention in the history of mythology.
Hearing this, Lorne couldn't help but frown.
“The son of Aeacus, the judge of the underworld? The one on the island of Aegina?”
Thetis nodded, with a helpless look on her face.
In total, Peleus's father Aeacus, like Poseidon, the king of the sea, was also her brother-in-law.
At that time, Zeus turned into a condor, abducted the nymph Aegina, took her to an uninhabited island, forcibly combined with her, and then gave birth to Aeacus.
Aeacus's wife was Endeis, the daughter of Chiron, the wise centaur. They gave birth to two sons, Telamon and Peleus. Later, Aeacus fell in love with Psammate, the daughter of Nereus, the old man of the sea. In order to get rid of him, the latter turned himself into a seal, but this failed to deceive Aeacus. After a long pursuit, the son of Zeus finally pursued Psamathe and had a son with her, Phocus, who was the famous ancestor of the city of Phocus.
From then on, the Thetis family gained another relative.
However, when the three children of Aeacus grew up, Telamon and Peleus became so jealous of their half-brother Phocus that they deliberately killed him in a discus throw. When Aeacus learned of this, he was so angry that he drove Telamon and Peleus out of the island of Aegina, and cut off relations with the two traitorous sons.
After that, Peleus has been wandering around outside, and he has not achieved much fame. He is not even as good as his brother Telamon.
Recently, he was remembered by Zeus from the corner of the horn, so he got good luck, and with the prophecy of [Destiny], he came to the Sea of Oceanus to pursue Thetis in glory.
But with the sudden death of her nephew, Thetis naturally did not have a good impression of Peleus, so she tried her best to avoid his pursuit.
But Peleus also inherited the fine traditions of his father and ancestors. When his pursuit failed, it directly turned into coercion, and he even did not hesitate to use weapons given by God in order to achieve his goal by coercion.
Lorne looked at Thetis's blood-stained shoulder, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
“Did he shoot you?”
“I'm fine, let's get out of here first.”
Thetis shook her head in relief, then lowered her voice to remind.
“He came for Poseidon…”
Hearing this, Lorne immediately understood the meaning of Thetis' words.
Do not marry early, do not marry late, and have to rush to this time, forcibly mate Detis to Pe Gats, and the other party is still a half -god hero who has conflicted with the Ocean God.
Obviously, His Majesty the God-King wanted to take advantage of the topic and hit a certain Sea King who danced too happily recently.
It would be better if we could take the opportunity to seduce Poseidon and induce him to make mistakes.
But as a senior solitary warrior, coupled with the seven years of labor camp life in Thessaly, Duke Bo's forbearance skills have long been better than before.
So, I have been hiding in the Poseidon Temple, sitting back and watching my sister-in-law being humiliated, without any intention of intervening.
In the end, it was Lorne who hit the big net.
“Leave? None of you can leave today!”
A gloomy and suppressed cold snort erupted under the water. Peleus, who had been knocked into the deep sea before, had already broken free from the suppression of the [Giant Whale]. He looked humiliatingly at the dog man and woman who were having **** with each other on the sea, and threw out the ball in his hand with all his strength. Cross gun.
“Boom!”
In an instant, thunder exploded in the sky, and the lightning bolts scurrying like poisonous pythons wrapped around the cross-throwing spear and headed straight for the target.
The huge momentum and the powerful power contained in it reminded Lorne of something.
—Zeus's [Thunderbolt].
The divine weapons built by the Cyclops for the God-King possess indestructible destructive power.
But obviously, Zeus is not so extravagant as to give his divine weapons to his grandson who he randomly seduced and tricked into using them.
The one in front of you is probably just an inferior imitation with a hint of thunder power.
Moreover, I have seen the original ones when I was a child. Who are you trying to scare with this kind of junk?
Lorne snorted coldly, grabbed forward with his arm wrapped in layers of divine power, roughly tore apart the dense lightning, and grabbed the cross gun thrown at him.
Thunder snakes are annihilated, and spear points scream.
Being caught? unarmed? How can it be!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Peleus was a little disbelieving, and his eyes were full of fear for the sudden appearance of the third party.
“Wow~~”
At this moment, white waves and bubbles continued to roll towards the sea surface, and large shadows quickly approached from the water. Lorne's heart tightened, and he quickly put Thetis, whose injuries were temporarily stable, on the back of the floating dolphin. The aqua blue [giant whale] behind him raised its tail and slapped the sea surface hard.
Suddenly, the rhythmic power surged, the sea surface churned violently, and water columns as thick as buckets exploded.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
The monsters, whose dorsal fins were covered with spikes and whose mouths were full of sharp teeth, looked more like fish than humans. Before they even broke out of the water, they were twisted into puddles of flesh.
The disgusting smell of blood and fish filled the air, and Thetis couldn't help feeling nauseated as she looked at the monsters on the sea whose intestines were torn apart but were still biting and devouring each other.
They have seen these creatures. They are Atlanteans who have fallen after being cursed. They usually live in the ruins of Atlantis. They prefer dark and cold environments and rarely come up to the surface.
This group of crazy prisoners appeared here, which means...
Thetis lowered her head to look at the towering and terrifying shadow in the sea on one side, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
“Wow~~”
The sea water was turbulent, and three behemoths with 50 heads and 100 arms emerged from the sea one after another.
The uncle's are the three hundred-armed giants squatting in the ruins of Atlantis!
This battle is really going to dig a hole for Mr. Bo.
Lorn cursed secretly, picked up Thetis and prepared to run away.
However, as soon as he opened his legs, there were several sharp cracks in the air behind him.
Lorne, who was always vigilant, moved sideways and easily avoided the arrows shot from behind. He looked back at the attacker.
Peleus on the sea bent his bow and arrow, looked at the three hundred-armed giants approaching from all around, and declared proudly.
“She is mine! No matter where you escape to, I will **** her back, and Your Majesty will make the decision for me!”
When Thetis heard the unfulfilled persistence in those words, her body couldn't help but trembled, and she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
That's right, this is the will of Zeus. No one can disobey it. Even his own father and sister chose to stay away from it.
Even if I escape, where can I escape to?
Just when Thetis was about to accept her fate and give up on herself, a faint groan came from her ears.
“I think I still owe you a favor?”
Before the sea nymph could react, the Gorgon emblem she had been holding in her hand, which she regarded as a treasure, was gently taken away.
Immediately, a strong wind roared on the sea surface, and afterimages flickered.
In the blink of an eye, Peleus, who was speaking harshly on the sea, was grabbed by the neck and roughly lifted up by a hand.
A strong sense of suffocation came over him like a tide. Peleus struggled wildly in the air, his purple face filled with fear.
“Father God, save…”
Before the sound stuck in his throat had time to leave his mouth, his body was thrown away at high speed, like a discharged cannonball, and crashed into the three hundred-armed giants walking from the sea.
As if it was a stress reaction when being attacked by mosquitoes, the hundred-armed giant in the lead swatted the flying foreign object.
"Snapped…!"
With a crisp sound, Peleus turned into a puddle of flesh even with his armor.
Lorne, who had already run a certain distance at this time, looked back at the scattered parts scattered on the sea, and shrugged, with a look of helplessness and sympathy.
“It seems that you are not that important in the eyes of God the Father?”
“How did you kill him?”
Thetis looked at the **** crime scene and couldn't help but be stunned.
Lorne looked innocent and defended righteously.
"See clearly, don't accuse good people! I'm just returning the hostage. The one who beat him to death was a hundred-armed giant!"
“It's useless for me to believe this, only Zeus believes it...”
Thetis revealed the key point in one sentence. She glanced at Lorne with a resentful and complicated look, and lowered her head as if resigned to her fate.
“Tell me, what should we do next?”
“Of course I'm going to help His Majesty the God-King.”
Lorne replied with a smile, a dark and malicious expression on his face.
"Since he wants Poseidon to witness your marriage, how about we just follow his wishes?" Upon hearing this, Thetis immediately understood what bad idea Lorne was planning. .
To put it bluntly, his way of solving troubles is to cover up existing troubles by creating bigger troubles.
Since His Majesty the God King wanted to set a trap for Poseidon, he followed his wish and led the three hundred-armed giants behind him to drag Poseidon into the water.
After all, the so-called marriage witness should go to her father Nereus, there is no reason to go to her brother-in-law Poseidon.
Even though Poseidon is the King of the Sea and theoretically manages the ocean gods, his scope of authority has nothing to do with her marriage.
However, it doesn't matter.
As long as the water is muddied successfully and the brothers above are able to fight, their safety will be greatly improved.
In the past, Thetis might have hesitated whether it was immoral to do so.
But after Peleus's pursuit and her own helplessness, she has completely awakened.
You are a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist, please take care of yourself first.
“Going south, 800 kilometers, there is a Poseidon Temple built by the remnants of Atlantis in that sea area.”
"clear!"
Lorne immediately nodded with understanding, increased the speed of the [Goat] to the extreme, and led the three hundred-armed giants behind him, running all the way to the latest stronghold of the Poseidon family.
The three hundred-armed giants who were originally chasing after them seemed to have received Mingming's instructions. They also quietly slowed down and followed leisurely, throwing a few stones from time to time, symbolically. Create some sense of crisis.
The roaring wind stirred up the sea water, and the splashing foam weaved into the vast sea fog. Thetis looked through the haze at the sparkling sea not far away, glanced resentfully, and held her in his arms. The man inside.
Witness the marriage? It would be great if it were true.
However, Lorne, who was concentrating on running away, apparently did not notice the subtle changes in Thetis's expression.
Seeing that his destination was right in front of him, he plunged into the sparkling sea, his body like a flexible fish passing through the blockade of several Atlantean guardsmen, and headed straight for the newly built Poseidon Temple. .
The Neptune family, who were hiding in their stronghold, saw the man and woman heading straight towards them, and the three towering behemoths behind them. The familiar scene could not help but bring back nightmare-like memories for them.
At that time, the once glorious kingdom of Atlantis was in decline.
The survivors of Atlantis and the ocean gods reacted to stress, their faces turned pale, and their eyes looked frightened.
Among them, Poseidon's reaction was the most obvious. A pair of blood-red eyes looked at the two shameless guides, and his tragic accusation was tinged with the slightest hint of uncontrollable crying.
“Asshole, don't come over here!”
Lorne turned a deaf ear and showed a warm smile on his face. He held Thetis and smashed the dome of Poseidon, fell into the main hall, and greeted the sad and angry Poseidon cordially.
“We meet again, Your Majesty.”
Poseidon reacted and looked at that bright smiling face, his eyes suddenly turned red.
“You actually came to harm me again!”
Facing the trident that the Sea King pulled out, Lorne smiled and spoke slowly.
“It seems like something happened with the little tricks you and Apollo did behind the scenes.”
Poseidon's expression changed dramatically when he heard this.
After successfully helping the opposite Neptune calm down, Lorne continued to speak.
“How about cooperation? You are responsible for stopping the three hundred-armed giants behind, and I will help you get what you want—to regain control of the Oceanus Sea, or to go one step further?”
When Poseidon heard this, he felt ridiculous and sneered disdainfully.
“Just you?”
"You don't believe me? How about I swear on my own soul? If I can't do it, my soul will be yours."
“What do I need your soul for?”
Poseidon had a constipated expression on his face and turned his head from time to time to look at the three hundred-armed giants on the sea who were getting closer and closer to the Poseidon Temple.
"Then have you heard of [Heart of Zagreus]?" Lorne smiled slightly, a twelve-sided die appeared in his palm, and said quietly, "You should be very interested in this chip, right?"
Instantly, Neptune's breathing was rapid and blood filled his eyes.
[Heart of Zagreus], the original successor of the God King, is said to have the possibility to aspire to the supreme kingship of Olympus.
If it falls into his hands, even if he loses half of his father's rights, he may not have a chance to get that position.
Thinking of this, Poseidon's face showed a strong ill will.
“Friendly reminder, Athena asked me to help, don't be impulsive.”
Lorne answered truthfully, smiling reassuringly.
Athena was right to ask him to help, but it was Thetis who helped, and it had nothing to do with the rebellion plotted by Poseidon.
When Poseidon heard this, he believed it, and his boiling blood cooled down again. After carefully considering the pros and cons, he suddenly made up his mind.
It's done!
Since he has already been found at the door, there is no need to compete with the three watchdogs outside the door first.
If the timing is wrong, the worst thing you can do is find a way to deal with it later.
Although the risk of conflict with three hundred-armed giants is not small now, the rewards of this wave of attacks will undoubtedly be doubled.
On the one hand, you can form an alliance with Athena to double the success rate of the conspiracy.
On the other hand, even if the rebellion is lost, [Heart of Zagreus], the treasure that aspires to the throne of God King, belongs to him!
As long as he can resist the punishment and absorb the divinity contained in it, he can go one step further and sooner or later have the opportunity to once again challenge the supreme kingship of Olympus.
It's not a loss no matter what, so of course I have to give it a try!
Lorne saw Poseidon's fierce expression at the end and stretched out his left hand with a smile.
“Have you figured it out? Let's sign a soul contract, then?”
"good!"
Poseidon was excited and happily agreed, and a [Trident] divine seal like a crown was struck on the back of the guarantor's hand.
As the subtle connection between them was established due to the oath, the originally timid Sea King suddenly burst out with infinite courage, holding the trident and going out in a menacing manner.
“Zeus, don't bully others too much!”
“They all say that things at sea have nothing to do with me, and you three come again? I will fight with you!”
Immediately afterwards, huge waves surged on the sea, and the divine power surged. The King of the Ocean, holding a trident, controlled the billions of tons of giant waves, and rushed towards the three hundred-armed giants with a look of grief and anger. The battle between the two sides began, and the newly built The good Poseidon Temple was affected again and turned into miserable ruins.
Poseidon's heart was bleeding, new hatred added to old hatred, and the trident in his hand waved harder at the three hundred-armed giants.
At the same time, Lorne, who took advantage of the chaos to sneak away a hundred miles away, held Thetis in his arms and commented on the mammoth divine battle in the distance with a smile.
Yes, Mr. Bo is still quite good at home.
The three hundred-armed giants didn't kill them either. It seemed that Zeus was just suspicious at most, without any substantial evidence.
But Thetis on the side couldn't laugh, and looked at Lorne next to her with worried eyes.
“You've provoked them all, what will you do next?”
“If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry.”
Lorne waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at the Trident Seal on the back of his hand with a meaningful expression, and spoke jokingly.
“When I borrowed money, it was me who begged him; when it came time to pay, he might be the one who begged me.”
Thetis didn't understand what she meant, but she felt regretful as she looked at the man in front of her who had been through life and death for her, and even hooked up with her future man.
“If I had known things would turn out like this, I shouldn't have let you come.”
"You didn't ask me to come. I came voluntarily. No one forced me to do this."
Lorne smiled with a calm look on his face.
Thetis nodded slightly, her eyes looking at the opposite side completely melting.
Lorne glanced at the battle between the gods on the sea, which was still indecisive for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Zeus didn't end up. It seems that he didn't pay attention to the Sea of Oceanus. This time he just took the opportunity to strike. Then Poseidon is taking care of Peleus's affairs, so it won't be a problem for the time being."
Thetis's eyes were filled with worry: "So, what's next is going to be a big trouble?"
Lorne nodded, looked at the keen Thetis with admiration, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
“Go to the foundry of Mount Etnat, meet with Hephaestus, and ask the **** of craftsman to do a few favors for me.”
“Well!” Thetis nodded in response, then looked at the man in front of her, “What about you?”
"A trip to the underworld." Lorne looked down at the depths of the dark sea and faintly stated the purpose of his trip, "...to borrow a debt!"
Thetis was a little confused and looked at Lorne blankly.
"On the way out of Poseidon Temple just now, I thought of an interesting question." Lorne said, a playful smile appeared on his face, "When you borrow money from one or two people, when the repayment day comes, the other party will be eager to You're done so you can liquidate your property and make up for your losses, but what will happen when you owe enough money and enough people?"
Thetis thought seriously for a moment, and finally shook her head helplessly.
Lorn flashed his eyes and gave an answer that Thetis did not expect.
“They will wish you were alive and well.”
“Because if you die, not only will the accounting be unclear, but the entire game will be unplayable, and everyone may go bankrupt!”
Lorne explained meaningfully, and then quietly concluded.
“So when you owe everyone, everyone also owes you.”
After leaving a counter-intuitive answer, Lorne said goodbye to Thetis, jumped up, and swam towards the gate of the underworld deep under the sea.
The deal with Poseidon also had an additional condition, allowing him to freely enter and exit the gate of the underworld built by the king of the sea.
The mark of the trident and the mark of the dead are enough for him to come and go freely in the underworld.
Next, he needs to make some preparations to face the real crisis.
