One of the characteristics of ancient Greek architecture is that temples and theaters often had no gates or thresholds, only a tall doorway.They believed that all citizens should have the freedom to enjoy their faith and the arts.This is the same as the public baths and toilets in ancient Rome, which did not require doors, as many people came in and out throughout the day, and it was too cumbersome to set up the gates.Knell and Doctor Doom saw a temple in front of them, but after passing through the tall doorway and entering the dark room, they didn't know the idol standing there."
Tsk, who's this?"
Su Ming raised one eyebrow and took down the cigarette in his mouth."
Dom doesn't know, either, but he looks strong."
Because the statue just had a white sheet around its waist, revealing large chunks of muscle.And there is only this one statue in the entire temple, which is strange.It stands to reason that the architectural style is all Greek, and the faith should not change.Even though there were considerable differences between the Greek city-states, Zeus was the main god in the gods, and his idol should be in the center, while the other gods were on both sides.Polytheism is about what you believe, and you can worship any god in this system for as long as you need to.For example, if you are a soldier in Greece, then you have a long list to visit before you go to war.First of all, he must worship Zeus, after all, he is the boss; Next, worship the god of war and ask for blessing for victory in battle; Worship Apollo, bless your warhorse; Worship the moon god, ask your bow and arrows to be accurate; Worship the god of fire, and ask that your weapons do not go wrong; worship the god of plague and pray that he will not get sick when he goes on an expedition; Worship the god of death, praying that even if you want to die, you will be happy; Worship the rat god, pray not to steal the dry food you brought into battle from home, etc.There were about thirty or forty gods involved in all aspects of warfare, and they all prayed for hours.At that time, the ancient Greeks not only worshipped soldiers when they went out to fight, but everyone believed in this set of extremes, farmers had to worship before planting, merchants had to worship before going to business, and all kinds of people from all walks of life often visited the temple.It shouldn't be like this."
Then there's only one possibility, Adu, have you heard of the Eternals?"
Deathbell bypassed the statue blocking the door and walked in the darkness to the more spacious hall at the back, chatting with Doctor Doom while thinking."
Doom knows, you think this is a city of Eternals, who were once part of the Greek gods."
As a sorcerer, some things that are the secrets of the earth for ordinary people are not a secret to Doctor Doom, and the existence of the Eternals is related to the origin of mortal beliefs, which is something that mages know well."
Yes, although some of the Eternals were displaced after they went into space, some of them remained on Earth."
Su Ming saw that there were many stone benches in the hall of the temple, and on them were corpses wearing sheets: "These Eternals left behind fled in all directions, scattering to form the many gods of today's South America, Africa, and the West. ”Of course, not all of the gods of the second generation of the earth were made by the Eternals.For example, the Norse gods are Asgardians, and they are strictly aliens.The Celestial Empire God Department is the ancient human beings who have succeeded in refining qi and raised their life level to 'immortals', and later added some aliens named 'demons' to merge into the Heavenly Court.And so on, it is not a small number of people who become gods in mortal bodies, and in Marvel, gods are not worth anything at all.Have a planet-level ability, give yourself the name of xx god, and then you can fool people.Doom listened to Deathknell's words and walked beside him, his magic mask also allowed him to gain night vision in complete darkness, and naturally he also saw these corpses.As a scientist, he specialized in physics, biology, and chemistry, and he immediately went to examine the corpse.He had a lot of handy gadgets on his suit, and he was quick to dissect corpses on the spot, and the samples were studied in depth."
It's the Eternals indeed, they look exactly like humans on the outside, but the level of energy contained in their bodies is completely different."
Doom straightened up and covered his face with the disemboweling corpse on the side with the white sheets on his body: "Why are there Eternals in negative space?"
”"I'm guessing like you, they were accidentally sucked in and then built a city here."
Su Ming used his thumb to compare the statue at the door behind him: "I guess that one may have a title like 'city builder', and he will be worshipped as a god by his descendants after his death." ”"Isn't that degenerating into primitive ancestor worship?"
Doom let out a chuckle, as if mocking something.Su Ming shrugged, there were only a dozen corpses here, which was obviously not the number of people that should be in the entire city, and the degree of decay was a little high, he wanted to pick a body with a relatively complete brain: "Don't look down on ancestor worship, those who are worshipped as totems or ancestor souls on the earth are often ancient gods, they are much stronger than the second generation of gods, by the way, do you know the big black cat?"
”The leopard god of Wakanda is a typical totem god, he knows how to eat and sleep every day, and plays games with the souls of the dead, but this does not affect its true strength."
Doom doesn't know about black cats, but Doom has heard the legend of the Oriental White Tiger God, and that is also an ancient god."
Doctor Doom wiped the pus from the dissected corpse on his hands and answered the question of Deathknell.Su Ming took out the Godslayer turned into a craniotomy, pried open it along the gap in the skull of a corpse and looked inside, the brain was already messed up into a snot-like sticky substance, he dropped the corpse in disappointment and shook his head."
Yes, the white tiger is also one of the ancient gods, I have met with it, although it has shed some hair, but it is still quite fierce.""
Doom didn't understand why the Supreme Mage had brought up the issue of the Old God's hair removal, so he remained silent."
Anyway, these corpses are not fresh, and their brains have turned into soup, so they can't read the information."
Knell moved his neck and looked around one last time: "I'll have to go to the city down the hill to find out if there are any survivors, they seem to have lived in negative space for a long time, they should know more than us, it would be better if they could find something like a star map." ”Of course, this means of obtaining information by strangulation, but this ability also has a limitation, that is, it requires fresh brains."
Doom did not find the cause of their death, and the autopsy results showed that they were healthy before they died, with no signs of poisoning or disease."
Doctor Doom has added some information for Deathknell's reference.He has a very clear position for himself, that is, to exert the intellectual power of his scientists."
That's a simple question."
Su Ming smiled and picked up a corpse from the ground, this is a tall and strong fruit man, he stood beside the corpse, locked the corpse's neck with his elbow as a fixation, and opened the deceased's eyelids with two fingers, revealing the half-rotten eyeballs inside: "Do you see the pupils?"
These people are all the same, they all died of fright. ”
