To Hao Ren's surprise, the entrance to Hades was not only on the outskirts of Rome, but it was not even concealed or disguised in any way - it was simply an upright landmark, so generous that even the farmers who lived nearby knew that it existed, but ordinary people knew that it was a terrible entrance, but they did not know that it led to the country of the dead in myths and legends.It is a cave on the outskirts of the country, and there are countless terrifying legends associated with it.If the shepherds' cattle were lost in the vicinity, they would immediately sacrifice another animal at the mouth of the cave in good fear, for they were convinced that the lost animal was a disturbance to the gods, and that if no such compensation was made, the rotting monsters of the animals would enter the village at night and spread the plague to every house; Some peasants claimed that on more than one occasion they had seen dead people come out of their caves, dressed in a variety of clothes, festering and swollen as if they had been immersed in the river for three days and three nights, and that the dead would disappear when they came into contact with the sun; Travelers who were on the road at night saw with their own eyes smoke coming out of the cave, and there was a wailing that continued throughout the night, and the wailing was even more terrible on a moonless night......
Hao Ren and his entourage didn't need to inquire much at all, and they didn't need Hasselblad to search for their own memories, they just asked a few passers-by and found this cave that the locals avoided and feared.It was located on the sheltered side of a small hill, wide and high enough for three or five strong men to enter at the same time, and a considerable area of land outside the entrance of the cave was devoid of grass, and even a small river nearby had a foul stench wafting from it, and the inside of the cave was pitch black and there were no fingers visible.Shadowy power, almost visible to the naked eye, surged within the cavern."
This thing is so open-minded......"
Hao Ren looked at the cave in front of him and was amazed, even if he only looked at it with his eyes, he could see that this thing was haunting with supernatural power, and it was not at all the same style as those supernatural realms that had been carefully camouflaged in the past, "Why do you still need you demon hunters to investigate......
Just a glance at it will tell that this place is wrong, right?
”In the face of Hao Ren's exclamation, Hasselblad just said lightly: "So this is the difference between the mythical era and the era after that." ”"In those days, these things were indeed placed on the outside," Hethanane also spoke, "traces of supernatural power can be seen everywhere in the mountains, in the wilderness, and even in human settlements, and the alien 'gods' have not considered the problem of hiding their whereabouts at all, they can do whatever they want, and they can open a spatial rift next to the human city, no one dares to raise objections, and no one can threaten their domination of the human world."
Like this cave in front of you, what is it in essence?
Essentially nothing more than a runaway laboratory drain pipe and connecting beam, would you disguise these things for fear of affecting the lives of a nest of ants?
”Hao Ren was speechless, and finally could only smack his lips."
The destruction of Olympus is a landmark event, the Sumerian Divine War before it has dragged on for too long, and the Egyptian Divine War has not been done in one go, only Olympus, which was completely destroyed in the non-stop onslaught of the Demon Hunters, and under our deliberate publicity, this war shook the whole world, so the first year of the Common Era is also regarded as the dividing line where the Age of Mythology officially entered the twilight period - of course, this is what we say about the witchers, but many alien races also count it as well," Hasselblad said in a nonchalant tone.
You are now standing on this dividing line, before which all the 'gods' are high and triumphant, and after this, all the gods are waiting for Ragnarok. ”Heatherian glanced at Hasselblad and turned to walk towards the cave: "Okay, okay, don't brag, it's not a glorious time." ”Hasselblad: The power of the shadow is entrenched in the "......" passage, which causes the light to be attenuated so badly that even if it is only ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, it is already so dim that it is almost impossible to reach out for five fingers, Hasselblad frowned after seeing this: "Hades's death has begun to show its consequences, Hades' control system is gradually stopping, and the polluting energy in Hades has lost its filtering and has become at least twice as rich as before. ”Although he knew that this was just a "false time and space" created by Vivian, Hao Ren couldn't help but worry for the ancients: "Then isn't this leaked energy going to be a big thing?"
”"Something did go wrong in history, but not here," Hasselblad nodded, "At the other entrance to Hades, there is a town that has been polluted and almost no one has survived, and if it weren't for the great explosion at Olympus later, which caused Hades to be annihilated by the turbulence of time and space, the incident would have been a hundred times worse." ”Lily snorted, quite disdainful: "Immortals fight mortals suffer, the age of mythology is really not a good thing." ”In this regard, Hasselblad could only smile helplessly, his position was too embarrassing in front of this topic.The deep and long cavern seemed to have no end, and after going hundreds of meters into it, it began to slope downward, its length almost made Hao Ren think that he was going to go all the way to the center of the earth, but this feeling was only an illusion, and after continuing to advance for some distance, he noticed that the surrounding environment began to change.The air became cold, not the damp and cold natural environment of the cave, but a cold feeling that would make people chill from all directions, the moss on the rock wall gradually thinned and disappeared, and the soil under their feet also turned into cold, slippery gravel, which seemed to be soaked in blood and venom, and the unpleasant smell of fish penetrated into everyone's nostrils."
Vomit ......"
Lily almost cried, "Why does my nose have to be so ......"
Hao Ren took out a life support collar from his personal space, one for each person, including little Heatherana: "Put it on, the concentration of toxins and negative energy around you is already high to a harmful level, and wearing this can save your physical strength." ”In fact, as early as more than ten meters after entering the hole, the surrounding toxins and negative energy have been concentrated enough to be fatal, but that kind of fatality is for ordinary people, Hao Ren and his party can directly ignore it with their strong physique, but the further forward the situation is, the worse it gets, just like Hasselblad said, Hades itself is a dangerous space filled with harmful substances because of the failure of the experiment, and now the only administrator here, Hades, is also dead, I really don't know how much this place will continue to deteriorate, in order to save everyone's magic and physical strength, It's also good to be able to resist it with equipment.Little Hethiana took the collar and fiddled with it curiously, and finally it was with the help of Hathiana that she learned how to use it, and it was clear that the little girl was quite satisfied with this magical device - even a "vampire" would not like the environment of Hades.Suddenly, the road in front of me suddenly opened up.The cave came to an end, and an extremely vast space appeared in front of Hao Ren, he saw that the pitch-black and dry earth stretched infinitely under his feet, and the earth was flowing with poisonous rivers and hot magma, and flames and steam continued to gush out from the cracks in the earth, each gushing seemed to carry the miserable wails of countless souls, and the sky was covered with a layer of rock-like deep chaotic matter, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a cloud or a really layer of rock tops, and he could only see a dark red thing like lava flowing on the dome, It's daunting as if it's pouring down at any moment.There was a crack in the sky, and the crack stretched across the dome, and the crack shone with an unsettling red light, through which Hao Ren vaguely saw that there seemed to be another world on the other side—it was being consumed by the flames of war, and the scene of grand explosions and massive collapses was staged one after another.It may be Olympus in the midst of the war, the last attack of the witchers destroyed the spatial structure of Hades, and it seems that a crack in the horizon was created, allowing the scene of Olympus to be projected into this space.Of course, such a vast place could not be under the city of Rome, and there is only one explanation for such a scene: people have unconsciously crossed the boundaries of time and space through that cave and entered the alien space created by the "gods" of Olympus."
What's that?"
Lily looked up curiously at this dark and terrifying place, and suddenly found a lot of floating, translucent things between heaven and earth, those things were like fog hovering hundreds of meters above the ground, gathering and scattering, without a fixed shape, but in the "fog" there were some interesting phantoms constantly emerging.Hao Ren also noticed those things, and he looked closely, and suddenly saw several faces full of pain on one of the fogs, as well as various strange death scenes."
it?!""
This is Hades," Hasselblad said lightly, "there has to be some 'makeup' that suits the fame."
Those are the souls of the humans who lived under Hades after their deaths.The twelve main gods of Olympus rule the human world like a cake, and make the rules of human beings from life to death according to their own preferences, in Hades's rules, all humans who die in his territory cannot be freed at will, unless they pay enough offerings before their death or have relatives to offer gifts to Hades on their behalf, otherwise the lonely ghost must serve him in the form of a soul in the underworld, and the way to serve is to use it as fuel to drive the three soul furnaces at the heart of Tartarus - now Hades is dead, the soul furnace is out of control, and these souls that are used as fuel but have not yet burned out are released. ”Looking at those souls floating in the sky, immortal and immortal, Hao Ren's face was still gloomy even though he knew that these were just phantoms of history.Heather Anna sighed leisurely: "Age of mythology, ......"
