Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 276 Green, healthy life (6.5k in total, please vote at the beginning of the month)

After three days and three nights, the sun broke and the sea fog dispersed.

Soft sunlight cuts through the lingering smoke of Etna Crater, illuminating the dim interior.

The continuously churning magma in the past has lost its dark red color and blazing high temperature, turning into a pool of dead ash and residue that has solidified after being completely burned.

"Click~~"

With the crisp sound of cracking, the gray-black mud shell on Lorne's body peeled off, and his eyes slowly opened. Bird-like golden-red flames flickered in the pupils, and the golden roulette wheel behind him also turned to the eleventh position simultaneously. in a grid.

——The eleventh incarnation [Phoenix].

In addition to giving him relatively high-speed air movement capabilities, he also has the trait of [resurrection from the dead].

That is, when the host's body is destroyed, the Phoenix will bear it on his behalf and undergo a true "resurrection". This is equivalent to giving him an extra life when facing the enemy.

What is a pity is that after the death of the Phoenix, it takes a long time to be reborn from the ashes before it can regain the power of "Resurrection". Therefore, the power of this incarnation has a long cool-down period and cannot be used easily until the critical moment.

But even so, the current harvest made Lorne excited.

With one more life, he would have more choices to make, and his plan would have a better chance of winning.

After calming down his excitement, Lorne broke free from the solidified magma residue and jumped into the cave above.

"Are you awake? Not bad."

Beside the extinguished forge, Hephaestus shook the empty wine bottle in his hand, stood up and looked at Lorne, who had a reserved look in his eyes. He nodded with satisfaction, and then moved his gaze to the completely cooled and solidified core of the earth under the entrance of the cave. Magma couldn't help but speak with regret.

"This stove doesn't work anymore."

"Sorry for costing you money."

"In that case, you saved my adoptive mother and gave me such a fine wine. I should give you something to make up for it."

Hephaestus waved his hand, and then a teasing smile appeared on his face.

"Just think of it as my wedding gift to you in advance."

Hearing this, Luo En felt dumbfounded.

It seemed that the God of Craftsman was determined to bring him and Thetis together, so he specially gave him the phoenix with the power of [Rebirth].

When the time comes to confront him in Olympus, even if Zeus accuses and punishes him severely, he will have a chance to be resurrected, so that Thetis will not be left a widow before she is married.

Brother, don’t say anything. I recognize you as my son. When your mother and I get married, I will definitely arrange the best table for you!

Taking advantage of the chaotic family relationship, Lorne secretly joked a few words, then took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"It's almost time, shall we go?"

Hephaestus nodded solemnly, took out a complete set of handcuffs, shackles, chains and other torture instruments from the treasure box on the side, and put them on Lorne one by one.

Lorne tried to mobilize his divine power to break free, and as a result, dense divine patterns floated and shimmered on the surfaces of these metal torture instruments, absorbing and transforming the power of resistance in an instant, and further strengthening the confinement.

With no way to go, he then summoned the [Bull], relying on the brute strength of his body to increase to the limit, to fight against the torture instruments on his body.

However, even if the veins on his forehead popped out and the protruding blood vessels almost burst the skin, they could not shake the torture device in the slightest.

Hephaestus saw this and replied proudly.

"Don't waste your efforts. This is a torture tool specially made for your divine power based on the blood sample sent by Thetis. Moreover, according to your request, I have improved the performance dozens of times. In theory, even if you become the main god , and there is no possibility of breaking free.”

Lorne said nothing, but raised his hand doubtfully.

After waiting for a moment, he looked at his empty palm and finally showed a satisfied smile.

Very well, the twelve-sided die containing [accidental] divine power could not be summoned, which means that the most special [accidental] divinity in him was indeed imprisoned by this set of torture instruments.

On the one hand, if he puts on these gadgets to plead guilty, Zeus should not see the specialness in him and directly kill him.

On the other hand, due to the fact that we and the enemy share the same origin, these things that can work for you can theoretically also work for that dear master.

After eliminating the last worries and making sufficient preparations, Lorne was completely relieved and prepared to officially go to Olympus with Hephaestus.

"Don't worry, hide this."

As he spoke, Hephaestus secretly thrust a key into Lorne's hand and explained in a low voice.

"I shot an extra shot and kept it for later use. If something goes wrong, you can use this to secretly unlock the shackles and let you escape smoothly."

Lorne nodded and accepted Hephaestus's painstaking efforts.

Afterwards, the god of craftsman led the surrendered felon and summoned the chariot parked on the island. The two of them rode together and drove towards the holy mountain of Olympus among the stars.

~~

In the quiet and gloomy side hall, Zeus, the god-king who has held the throne of Olympus for thousands of years since the Titanic War, sits on a gorgeous throne, overlooking the criminals in the court, and snorts calmly.

"You are so brave, you actually dare to murder the descendant of God!"

"Your Majesty, I just didn't want him to harass Thetis, so I pushed him out. It was the Hundred-Armed Giant who killed him."

Lorne lowered his head and defended honestly.

"You still dare to argue?" Zeus sneered and waved his hand impatiently, "Hephaestus, put him in jail first and wait for the result of the trial."

"Yes, Father."

Hearing that Zeus did not intend to execute Lorne directly, Hephaestus couldn't help but let out a long breath, and hurriedly led the "insignificant" criminal to the prison set up by Olympus.

As he walked out of the somewhat depressing space, Lorne couldn't help but feel relieved.

The most difficult level has been passed.

The fact that Zeus did not kill him on the spot proves that his biggest secret has not been exposed.

And putting him in jail and waiting for his fate means that killing Peleus did not touch the reverse scale of the god king, and at best it was just some insignificant trivial matters.

The punishment can be light or heavy, and it can be discussed.

As long as I show enough value, I may not be unable to replace the dead ghost Peleus and become the candidate to marry Thetis.

Negotiation? I like it.

Lorne sat cross-legged in the dark prison, thinking about how to gain the trust of the God King and get the last piece of the puzzle that was missing from the plan.

—— Twelve divine powers, only you are missing.

"Ah~~"

The slight sound of the metal gate being pushed interrupted Lorne's thoughts. He was slightly stunned and muttered in his heart.

Coming so quickly?

However, accompanied by a crisp sound of footsteps, a figure that he had not expected walked out of the dim passage.

Seeing the Queen of Heaven wearing a crown and plain clothes appear in front of him, Lorne was stunned.

"Lord Hera, why are you here?"

"Come to see you."

Hera spoke as a matter of course, completely ignoring her noble status, opened the prison door, put a food box full of food in front of Lorne, and muttered softly.

"Are you hungry? Come, eat something first."

"..."

Listening to the ambiguous tone and watching the gentle care, Loen's forehead could not help but break out in a fine sweat.

Hera rolled her eyes at her trembling lover and snorted unhappily.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's not on the mountain."

That's good, that's good.

When Loen heard this, his heart finally settled down.

Fortunately, Hera didn't go crazy and commit a crime against the wind, and directly dragged him to commit a crime in front of her husband. Otherwise, Zeus, who found out, would have chopped him alive.

But, the God King was not on the mountain, what did he do?

Hera seemed to understand what Loen was thinking, and handed the plate full of food to the lover in front of him, teasing and mocking.

"He ran out of Olympus in advance when he learned that I was coming back, and now I don't know which nymph he is fooling around in!"

She saw through her God King husband.

Promiscuity is one thing, and calculations engraved in the bones are another.

He may have loved her before, but in order to secure his position as a god, he would rather be out there and have affairs every day than return to Olympus and live a normal married life with her, his legal wife.

Because the blood of the gods born by her often has powerful talents, it is very likely to become a potential factor threatening Zeus's status as the god king.

But it doesn't matter, what you can't satisfy, someone has already satisfied for you.

Hera looked softly at her lover who was younger, more handsome, and more affectionate than Zeus, with approval in her eyes.

"I heard about Thetis's affairs, you did a good job."

In her early years, she had raised Thetis herself, and liked the child's intelligence and decency, and had long regarded her as half a daughter.

Thetis also respected her very much, and adopted Hephaestus, who was abandoned by her, for this reason, and tried her best to repair the mother-son relationship for her.

Therefore, when she learned that her husband had used Thetis as bait and was forcing her to marry him in order to strike Poseidon, she was furious and ended their separation. She rushed all the way from the Argo Sanctuary to Olympus to confront him.

As a result, Zeus, who felt guilty, fled ahead of time, and Hera ran into her lover, Loen, who had just been imprisoned.

For a woman, he was willing to sacrifice himself and take all the blame. In contrast, her husband, the king of gods, absolutely did not have this awareness.

The experience of hunting down mistresses and illegitimate children countless times proved that women and illegitimate children were just tools for him to satisfy his selfish desires and maintain his position as the king of gods.

Her vision for choosing a husband was not very good, but her vision for choosing a lover was pretty good.

Hera picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped away the sweat on Loen's forehead and the rice grains at the corners of his mouth. A cold color appeared in her eyes, and she swore to her lover.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

Lorne nodded quickly, then pointed to the food box that he had already cleared out, and reminded with a smile on his face.

"It's almost time, do you want to go back and rest first?"

It's still unknown when Zeus will come back, and Hera is acting so ambiguous. He is really afraid that the King of Gods will come back and expose their affair, and then kill him in anger.

However, the Queen of Heaven in front of him had no intention of leaving. Instead, she licked her moist cherry lips, and the familiar heat of Lorne flashed in her bright eyes.

"I will do what I promised you, but how are you going to repay me?"

Lorne understood the meaning in Hera's eyes and almost had a heart-lung arrest.

Really? At this time? Here?

Big sister, Queen of Heaven, Auntie, please let me go, or someone will die!

Just as Loen retreated into the corner step by step, wanting to resist to the death, Hera grabbed the chain without hesitation, dragged the prisoner who had no way to escape in front of her, leaned down and pressed him down with a conquering attitude, and proudly declared.

"Even if you want to marry Thetis, you have a share of mine!"

Well, this time she was jealous again, but the way of revenge on her husband and lover was different.
