Chapter 1486: Twilight at Olympus


Poseidon's realm is already the last barrier of the Olympian "gods".The ancient Greek gods, who once reigned over the entire Mediterranean region and ruled over thousands of city-states for generations, finally ushered in their end, they were once proud and confident, watching the weak and short-lived empires of mankind rise and fall one after another, they laughed at these indigenous creatures with an average lifespan of only thirty or forty years, laughed at their life and death, laughed at their weakness and perishability, and firmly believed that such incomparably powerful beings as themselves had the qualifications to be crowned gods, They firmly believe that their rule will be unshakable, even eternal—but today, the "gods" are finally realizing that they are far from eternal, that they are only a little stronger than mortals, and that their dynasty has only existed for thousands of years longer than the fleeting kingdom of mortals.The days of sitting high in the clouds and accepting the worship of mortals turned out to be nothing more than a dream that lasted for a few years.The Witcher's Cult Legion rallied around the Temple of Poseidon, powerful war-grade magic bombarding the energy barrier above the temple all the time, and scorching flames flowed through the rock formations, melting the alloy protective shell of the temple's base at a slow but unwavering speed.The witchers had made an assault about three hours earlier, and this one was still blocked, but it was clear to both warring sides that the outcome of this war was already sealed.The great barrier supported by the Olympian gods gathering the power of the whole clan and all the remaining energy of the entire "sacred mountain" is indeed quite strong, and it can even be said that it is the most powerful energy shield they have made since they came to this world, but this powerful shield is a source of water after all, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed without replenishment and rest.Looking at the shields that flickered above the temple, and the silvery white points of light that fell on the shields like a meteor shower, it was clear to every Olympian god that the end had come—only a little delay.The witchers also knew this very well, they knew that victory was in their hands, and the prey hiding in the temple would eventually die even if they resisted for a long time, so they did not organize any more strong attacks, but constantly used war magic to consume the protection of the temple, and used this foolproof method to destroy the prey's will to resist little by little - maybe before the barrier was completely destroyed, the prey in the temple would run out and commit suicide because they couldn't bear the pressure.Anyway, this kind of thing has not happened before.On the upper floor of the Temple of Poseidon, a half-moon-shaped domed hall is the last command center of the Olympian gods, where the living gods and demigod heroes gather, making the richly decorated hall that once served as a banquet hall seem crowded.However, so many gods and demigod heroes gathered together without any discussion or deliberation, and an atmosphere of death-like silence enveloped the entire hall, and under this atmosphere, no one was willing to speak.In the center of the half-moon hall was a slightly empty place, and the seats that qualified to sit were all pure-blooded gods about four meters tall, whose majestic stature was once a symbol of the power of Mount Olympus, and could bring endless confidence and hope to the clansmen and servants, but now these giants all bowed their heads, and their dejected behavior made them no different from those restless "mortals".In the midst of them, a large pale gold bed was placed, on which lay a middle-aged giant in a golden robe, with long white hair and beard, and his eyes fluttering like two balls of lightning, and his countenance, even though he was dying, still carried three points of majesty.In his heart, a fist-sized penetrating wound could be seen, and the pale golden power of thunder and silver-white holy flames jumped through the wound, still fighting for control of the wound until now.The giant's heart had been destroyed, but the magic was still keeping him alive, blood gushing out of his broken veins, then writhing in the air as if it were alive, being injected into another equally broken vein: in such an unbelievable way, Zeus had been forced to survive for days.Yes, he is Zeus, the "king of the gods" of ancient Greece."

Let me ......

Take a look outside. ”He said in a deep voice.At the bedside, a giant with hair curled like waves nodded, and he picked up his trident from the side and shook it three times against the dome above, so that the rocky dome immediately made a gurgling sound of water, turning into an almost transparent sea.Two-thirds of the people in the hall looked up at the same time, looking at the situation across the transparent water, but the other third still hung their heads as if they were dead, as if they no longer cared about any outside news.Through the transparent water, you can clearly see the large shield above the Temple of Poseidon, the shield full of magic is still intact at this moment, but it is nearly sixty percent dimmed compared to when it was just opened.Silvery-white light like a meteor shower continued to fall from the sky, inspiring circles of ripples on the surface of the shield, which were the attacks of the witchers, endless, endless attacks."

Do we have any reinforcements?"

Zeus looked at his brother and asked in a low voice."

No, my brother," Poseidon's face was expressionless, the giant as ruthless as the sea looked even in the face of death, "Hades' death has been confirmed to be true, Hermes's body fell from the sea of clouds not long ago, and the Holy Army sealed all the entrances and exits, and we are isolated. ”Zeus nodded, neither disheartened nor angry by the news, he seemed to accept everything as it was, and then rolled his eyes to look for a figure in the hall.He saw the man he was looking for.It was the only figure who didn't fit in with everyone, the only one who didn't seem to feel the end of the road in front of him.She wore a simple coarse cloth dress, and there was hardly any jewelry decoration on her body, and this appearance alone was enough to make her "stand out" among a group of gold-armored and silver-looking gods and demigod heroes.In the midst of a group of Olympian gods who were worried about the catastrophe of annihilation, this woman with a strange painting style just stood there in a daze with her head down, occasionally babbling to herself.She behaved so differently, as if an invisible barrier was hanging around her, making her live in a small world isolated from everyone.Zeus retracted his gaze and looked at Poseidon, "How's she doing......"

"Lady Ansesta is starting to get confused again," Poseidon replied, "She's sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and it's even worse after she went out to help block a wave of attacks."

I'm worried, her current state is a precursor to a runaway of control.We all know some of her ......

The situation, once she gets out of control in the temple, I am afraid that the consequences will be more serious than the Holy Sect Army rushing in. ”"She's here to help," Zeus said slowly, "and she's already helped us a lot......

Unfortunately, even with her strength, it is impossible to save the situation. ”"Artemis and Demeter have consulted, and when Lady Ansesta regains her senses, she will be asked to break out with a portion of the descendants of Olympus, we have found a relatively easy way to break through, as long as Lady Ansesta uses her power to envelop those descendants, it will be enough to hide from the eyes of the witchers, so that we can keep at least a few tinder......"

"Is the list chosen?""

Here," Poseidon handed over a list, "it's all ......

Genetically deteriorated offspring, their aura is weaker, and their appearance is closer to that of mortals, and after the collapse of Olympus' theocracy, these descendants can still mingle in the realm of mortals. ”"We've come to this point," Zeus just glanced at the list and pushed it back, "you decide, as long as there is a spark left, it doesn't matter who it is, the blood of Olympus cannot be broken......

Ahem......"

Zeus coughed violently a few times, and many people in the hall immediately looked nervously, but the king of the gods waved his hand to show that he was okay, and then lowered his voice again: "Is Hercules leaving?"

”It was a voice that only he and Poseidon could hear, and it was clearly an extremely important secret."

We've set off," Poseidon also lowered his voice, "with the treasure." ”"That's good......"

Zeus breathed a sigh of relief, his body seemed to relax, he looked up at the dome of the hall that had turned from sea water to rock again, and his voice was like a dream, "Eternal dynasty, eternal dynasty......"

"Boom!!

”"Boom!

Rumble!!

”Suddenly, a huge explosion came from outside the temple, and not once or twice, but several successive explosions sounded in a dense manner, and the explosion seemed to have detonated in mid-air, and it sounded like the explosion point was distributed over a wide area.The explosion was accompanied by a violent shaking of the entire hall, and the shockwave seemed to spread to the outer walls of the temple, causing the entire building to tremble.Poseidon instantly stood up and shouted, "What happened?!"

”And the hall became panicked after a short dead silence: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Have our barriers been broken?

”"The witchers are in!""

It's over!

The defense is broken!

”"Take up arms!

Rush out and fight them!

”"It's all quiet!!"

Poseidon's angry shout mixed with spiritual power suddenly exploded, causing the entire hall to buzz, and also made the panicked gods and demigod heroes finally calm down, "Maybe our palace walls are about to collapse, but people with Olympian blood will not be frightened like this - you, and you, you two take people out to see what is going on outside!"

”And at this moment, on a platform outside the Temple of Poseidon, the smoke and dust in the sky have not yet dissipated.There is not a single living carbon-based creature in the area shrouded in smoke.
