Chapter 343: Say no, but your body is honest (5.1k)
The land of the far west, the Holy Garden.
The once peaceful and beautiful fairyland is now in shambles.
The clear river water became filthy, and the lush vegetation withered and decayed. Demonic wolves, demonic pigs, poisonous dragons, hydras, chimeras, sphinxes, and many other new types of demons bred from the blood of Typhon patrolled the mountains and forests and roared.
One by one, the dark and burly giant spirits stepped through the exquisite carved stone steps, stepping on the withered flowers and trees on both sides of the road into the soil. After several twists and turns, they came to the entrance of the secret realm with floating earth-yellow light patterns.
The **** brawny man raised his arm and slapped it on the light barrier, and the scarlet emblem of the **** immediately lit up. The door in front of him suddenly rippled like water waves, opening to a group of vicious species.
As the giant spirits stepped into it, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, with luxuriant flowers and plants, shady green nurseries, and twisting and flowing water.
This was the sacred garden that once belonged to Queen Hera. Rainbows rose up under the water vapor, and the rich ether could almost condense into colorful mist. It was truly beautiful.
But now, this place has changed hands.
From a distance, although the nursery of the Holy Garden has not been destroyed due to its value, the sculptures dedicated to the gods in the temple have been pushed down, and the paintings depicting the Battle of Titan and Typhon in the corridor have been trampled to pieces.
The seven nymph daughters of the leader Alcyonius were carrying kettles, humming songs among the flowers, dancing happily, raising their hands to sprinkle nectar to nourish the rare plants in the nursery.
At this time, the King of Giant Spirits was sitting under a tall and gorgeous golden apple tree with branches covered with orange fruits. The rich earth breath was transmitted from the roots of the sacred tree into his body, making his original The dark and hard skin and muscles gradually became filled with the luster of gold.
The snake-footed giant Pelorus spit out the core, rolled a lot of rare herbs into his belly, and absorbed the rich power of life.
Even a three-headed poisonous dragon as a mount was lying down and taking a nap under the tree. From time to time, it secretly raised its head and swallowed the branches and leaves of the sacred tree to enhance its own divinity. It looked quite comfortable.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the strong man suddenly felt angry, stepped forward quickly, and slapped away the three poisonous dragons that were eating under the tree.
The poisonous dragon that fell like a cannonball into the nursery overwhelmed a large amount of potion, causing the seven nymphs who were watering the plants to scream in surprise.
Hearing the calls of his daughters, Alcyonius, the king of the djinn, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from under the tree angrily, and looked at the strong man in front of him.
"Atlas, what are you doing?!"
"What are you doing? I want to ask you!"
The Sky Titan Atlas, who was freed from the seal and curse, snorted coldly and looked at the leader of the djinn clan with a gloomy look.
"The war isn't over yet, but you guys are getting comfortable first. Do you really think of this place as your home?"
"So what? We were driven underground by the gods before, eating mountain rocks and drinking sewage. We couldn't even see the slightest bit of sunlight. We were like dirty rats. Now we are back on the ground, grabbing such A good place, can't we enjoy it? We all deserve it!”
Alcyonius, the king of the djinn, retorted angrily, with an angry look on his face.
Atlas was even more annoyed when he heard this plausible argument: "It's just a little bit of fruit and cold water, and you've been fascinated by it?"
Immediately, the sky-high titan took a look at this cozy home, pointed at the sacred mountain looming among the stars, and cursed with some hatred.
"A bunch of people with no ambition! What we want is not just this poor garden, but Olympus on the top of the stars, and the wider world! As descendants of the Titans and descendants of Uranus, we should take back our own Everything that has been lost will return to the order of the Titans!"
Hearing this deafening declaration, the brave and aggressive nature of the giant spirits was ignited, and they could not help but roar with excitement. They even looked at the several giant spirit leaders with a hint of contempt.
They were fighting to death outside, but these guys actually hid in the holy garden to enjoy the comfort. It was a disgrace to the Titans!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Alcyonius, the King of Djinns, immediately softened his tone and explained to Atlas on the opposite side.
"Capturing the Holy Garden and occupying this place is not for ourselves, but for all the clansmen and the final victory!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Thousands of years of underground life have already weakened the clansmen. The last attack on Thessaly also cost many compatriots. Even if you and Prometheus are included, I am afraid that we will never be able to shake the divine power of Olympus..."
Atlas was silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
Although I don't want to admit it, this is an indisputable fact.
Since Mount Othrys was abandoned and the divine power of the twelve Titans was divided, the strength of the entire Titan group has been inevitably declining.
Even if due to the contract between the three goddesses of destiny, the former main gods were ordered to seal themselves and were only allowed to walk in the world as ghosts and ghosts, this is not something that today's giant spirit family can easily touch.
Even with the support of the old gods, it is basically a dream to conquer Olympus and establish an order belonging to the Titans.
"So, we need to capture this holy garden and win the [Immortality] that belongs to the gods!"
Alcyoneus, the king of the djinn, turned around and looked at the leafy golden apple tree with enthusiasm.
When Olympus was founded, the earth mother goddess Gaia sent this golden apple tree at the wedding of Zeus and Hera.
Its fruit contains [immortal] divinity, which is not only an excellent tonic for improving strength, but also a symbol of the divine power of the earth.
Such a gift implies Earth Mother Gaia's recognition of the Olympus gods and the transfer of Earth Mother's divine power.
Therefore, Hera's power in marriage and reproduction was stable.
But the queen was blinded by jealousy. After succeeding to the throne, the various illegitimate children and lovers who were obsessed with hunting down her husband gradually lost their respect and love for life.
Therefore, she has not been fully recognized by the sacred tree, and she has not been able to inherit the complete divine power of the earth.
But now, by capturing this sacred garden and controlling the golden apple trees, the giant spirit clan, who are naturally close to the earth, can quickly increase their strength by eating the golden apples and herbs that contain the divinity of the earth in the garden, and obtain [immortality], and even... With the characteristic of [Immortality], he now has the ability to compete with the Olympus gods.
"I see…"
Atlas suddenly understood after listening to the secret told by Alcyonius, the king of the djinn himself.
Immediately, the Sky-Qing Titan waved his hand and spoke directly.
"In that case, let's quickly divide these good things."
When Alcyonius, the King of Djinn heard this, his face darkened.
The Divine Power of the Earth, you haven't absorbed much yet, so you have to share such precious resources equally with your fellow tribesmen below? Then isn't his work as a leader in vain?
Moreover, when did it become your turn as an outsider to distribute my things?
"Hera has escaped. The news of the fall of the Holy Garden must not be hidden for long. We cannot stay here for too long."
Just when Alcyoneus, the king of the giants, was displeased, a deep and powerful voice came from a prisoner with broken shackles on his hands, messy beard and hair like withered grass, but eyes as bright as stars. Dozens of giant spirits walked into the secret realm.
"Prometheus, you are finally back!"
Atlas Lang smiled and rushed to the visitor, giving the brother a firm hug.
They are both the sons of Iapitus, the soul and prophecy Titan among the Twelve Titans, and they have always had a good relationship. Although they had different positions in the Titan War, they were all treated harshly by Zeus after the war. They had a common enemy and walked together again.
"Hera escaped?"
At this time, Alcyoneus, the king of the djinn, heard the news brought by Prometheus. He was shocked and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
"You brought so many people, but you couldn't even catch a seriously injured goddess?"
"Is that an ordinary goddess? That's Hera! Among the twelve main gods of Olympus, the Queen of Heaven is second only to the God King!"
Atlas turned his head and snorted coldly. While excusing his brother, he did not forget to disparage Alcyonius, the king of the djinn, who was hiding in the sacred garden and eating alone.
"If you are sure, why don't you lead someone to chase it yourself?"
"If I have to do everything, what do I want you to do?"
Alcyoneus, the king of the djinn, opened his eyes angrily and clenched his fists angrily.
"Don't forget, if I hadn't rescued you, how would you have the right to stand here and talk to me!" "Our brothers will remember the grace of rescue, so we are willing to listen to your orders and jointly regain the power of the Titans."
Seeing that the two Titans were about to fight on the spot if they disagreed, Prometheus quickly stepped forward to appease them and took the initiative to take responsibility.
"I failed to bring Hera. It was my fault. Please punish me."
Looking at Prometheus who bowed his head to him, and the burly and powerful Titan Atlas beside him, Alcyonius, the King of Djinn, calmed down his anger, waved his hands and hummed softly.
"Forget it, after all, she is the Queen of Olympus, and she is accompanied by the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, the eldest daughter of Demon Ancestor Typhon. You have just been liberated, and your divinity and power are not as good as before. You can't It's justifiable to stop them.”
"Thank you for your tolerance and consideration."
Prometheus looked grateful and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Although we failed to bring Hera back, we forced her into the Sea of Chaos and left an informant nearby. In a short period of time, she should not be able to escape from our grasp, nor can she contact other main gods. We'd better take this opportunity to absorb the divinity of the earth in the holy garden first, strengthen the strength of the genie clan, and when we have the capital to compete with Olympus, let alone an injured Hera, even Olympus Even if all the gods come together, they may not be able to defeat us.
And as long as you win the final battle and regain the power that Titan once had, not only the Holy Garden, but the entire world will be trampled under your feet! "
Hearing this wise man's reminder, Alcyoneus, the king of the djinn, suddenly felt a little moved.
Indeed, if you want to obtain the supreme divine power, you should not insist on enjoying this small sweetness.
Immediately, Alcyoneus, the king of the djinn, waved his hand pretending to be generous and announced loudly to his subordinates.
"Brothers, come on, level this mountain, take everything away, and enjoy the spoils you deserve!"
Upon hearing the leader's words, the giant spirits' eyes suddenly shone, and they couldn't wait to pounce on the herbs and golden apple trees in the sacred garden that exuded a strong divine aura.
Suddenly, herbs were uprooted and stuffed with soil into the mouths of the giant spirits; golden apples were pulled from the trees one by one, and the sweet juice turned into rich earth divinity in the giant spirits' bodies; everywhere The spring was drained and drank, and even the water-stained stones and moss were eaten clean by the giant spirits...
Soon, the demon species who came after hearing the news also joined the carnival, crazily devouring the rich resources in the holy garden.
Seeing his subordinates like locusts passing by, quickly eating up the sacred garden that he regarded as private property, Alcyonius, the king of the djinn, felt his heart bleed.
But for the great cause in his heart and the honorable position of Olympus, he could only pretend to be generous and let his subordinates enjoy this feast of gluttony under the sun.
And in a corner where no one noticed, Prometheus, who had arrived under the sacred tree at some unknown time, decisively picked a few ripe golden apples and shared them with his brother Atlas.
The rich divinity of the earth poured into the body, and the hidden wounds left by the two people's torture for many years were gradually repaired. The majestic vitality washed away the somewhat decayed body, making it full of vitality again.
After a while, Prometheus woke up and clenched his fist, looked at the flesh and blood on his arm, nodded with satisfaction, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.
“Buzz~~”
Just as the giant spirits and monsters were immersed in the joy of growing in strength, there was a violent shaking in the earth, and an altar made of blue-black volcanic stones slowly rose in the holy garden. The giant **** seemed to be integrated with the darkness. Xuying opened his deep eyes, looked at the chaos in front of him, the unrecognizable sacred garden, and the golden apple tree that was about to be bald, and suddenly frowned deeply.
"What are you doing?"
"Share the trophies we have captured, strengthen the strength of the people, and give them the capital to fight against the gods."
Alcyonius, the king of the djinn, quickly lowered his head and answered respectfully.
Hearing Alcyoneus's answer, the god-king Cronus was so angry that the earth shook with the rhythm of his divine power.
"Idiot! Who gave you permission to get your hands on these things?"
Feeling the gloomy coercion, Alcyoneus felt a sudden thought and quickly explained dryly.
"This is...a trophy..."
According to Greek tradition, whoever grabs something should naturally control it.
As a king, he not only did not keep it to himself, he also used rare resources to strengthen the Gigantes clan, which was definitely generous.
"This is the artifact of the Mother Goddess Gaia! It is up to her to decide how to deal with it, not you!"
God King Cronus snorted darkly, looking at Alcyonius with a cold look.
Hollowing out the sacred garden and swallowing the herbs and divine fruits will only increase his divinity. Even if he can compete with the gods of Olympus in terms of strength, he may not be able to shake the order of destiny in the end.
Only by sacrificing these things to the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia and gaining her support and gifts can the Titan side fundamentally gain a firm foothold.
After all, the sky, ocean, and Hades are all under the control of Olympus. Currently, only the divine power of the earth is the basis for the Gigantes family to stand and rely on.
The stronger the divine power of the earth is, the more obvious their own gains will be.
Even if he is unwilling to sacrifice for the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, isn't there still him as the God-King?
In order to get these giant spirits out of the underground, they, as the old gods, put in a lot of effort.
As a result, as soon as they got some benefits from relying on the protection of the old gods, these idiots couldn't wait to steal the results for themselves, in the most stupid way, and they were hopelessly short-sighted!
"Your Majesty, of course we have not forgotten your kindness."
Just as the atmosphere gradually became gloomy and depressing, Prometheus walked out from behind the sacred tree, holding three golden apples and respectfully presented them to the altar.
"Alcyonius has actually prepared tribute for you in advance."
Hearing that the wise man actually took out his share of the spoils to excuse him, the King of Giant Spirits was deeply moved.
This brother is a good guy and can handle things!
"Hmph, you darlings of the Iapatus family, our bodies have been imprisoned for a long time, and our souls cannot be freed. What is the use of these things?"
Cronus in the altar snorted with a sullen face, but the chilling atmosphere around him weakened.
Although they don't value or use a few golden apples, the attitude of the Guigantes family is still barely acceptable.
I was still counting on these giant spirit relatives to attack Olympus and pull the traitor Zeus from the throne. Naturally, I couldn't really fall out with these giant spirits because of temporary unhappiness.
"That's all, take these little things back and sacrifice this golden apple tree to me!"
Cronus spoke in a deep voice, looking at the bare golden apple tree with some fiery eyes.
Does Gaia, the Mother Goddess of Earth want it? You obviously want it, right?
Alcyoneus glanced at the greed and desire that could hardly be concealed on the face of His Majesty the God-King, and secretly cursed in his heart, quite reluctantly.
But the situation was stronger than the people. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only order the djinn to build an altar under the golden apple tree at the urging of God King Cronus, draw spells, and hold ceremonies together to transfer this earth-derived The divine power of the mother goddess Gaia was sacrificed to the **** king Cronus.
After being nourished by this divinity, the shadow in the altar became much more condensed.
The emblems of gods in the blue-black flames also became much brighter.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by obscure tremblings, several divine emblems flew out from the altar and merged into the bodies of Atlas, Prometheus, King of Djinn Alcyonius and other Titans, forming streaks of fishy blood. Red brand.
Suddenly, the wonderful feeling of having everything in one's hands came to their hearts, and all the sealed Titans couldn't help but be overjoyed.
power! The power of the Titan gods!
The flames danced on the altar, and the God King Cronus groaned leisurely.
"Accept it, this is the favor bestowed upon you by this king. With this honor, you can drive out those villains of Olympus and rebuild the glory of the Titans!"
"Kill the evil spawn of Olympus and rebuild the glory of the Titans!"
The giant spirits were filled with excitement and cheered and roared excitedly.
Prometheus in the crowd also raised his arms and shouted, but when he lowered his eyes and looked at the emblem of God hidden on his forehead in the water, there was a haze in his eyes.
Whether it is the old gods or the new gods, they have never had the qualities of "kindness" and "generosity"...
