Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 343: Say no with your mouth, but your body is honest (5.1k)

The far west, the holy garden.

The once peaceful and beautiful wonderland is now in ruins.

The clear river water has become turbid, and the lush vegetation has withered and decayed. Demon wolves, demon pigs, poisonous dragons, hydras, chimera synthesizers, sphinx beasts, and other new demon species bred by the blood of Typhon patrol and growl in the mountains and forests.

One by one, the dark and burly giants stepped over the exquisitely carved stone steps, trampled the withered flowers and trees on both sides of the road into the soil, and after several turns, they came to the entrance of the secret realm with floating khaki light patterns.

The top-naked sturdy man raised his arm and slapped the light-like barrier, and the scarlet emblem of God lit up immediately. The gate in front of him suddenly rippled like water waves, opening to a group of vicious species.

As the giants stepped into it, the scenery in front of them suddenly became clear, with lush flowers and plants, green nurseries, and winding water.

This was the holy garden that once belonged to the Queen of Heaven Hera. Rainbows rose up under the water vapor, and the rich ether could almost condense into colorful light mist, which was very beautiful.

But now, this place has changed hands.

From a distance, although the nursery of the holy garden was not destroyed because of its value, the sculptures dedicated to the gods in the temple had been pushed down, and the murals depicting the Battle of Titan and the Battle of Typhon in the corridor had been trampled.

The seven nymph daughters of the leader Alcyoneus were carrying water bottles, humming songs in the flowers, dancing happily, and raising their hands to sprinkle nectar to nourish the rare plants in the nursery.

At this time, the King of Giants was sitting cross-legged under a tall and gorgeous golden apple tree with branches full of bright yellow fruits. The rich earth breath was transmitted from the roots of the sacred tree into his body, making his originally dark and hard skin and muscles gradually filled with golden luster.

The snake-footed giant Polorus spit out the core and rolled a handful of rare herbs into his stomach, absorbing the rich life force in them.

Even a three-headed poisonous dragon, who was a mount, was lying under the tree and taking a nap. From time to time, he secretly raised his head and swallowed the extended branches and leaves of the sacred tree to enhance his own divinity. He looked quite comfortable.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the strong man felt angry and stepped forward quickly. He slapped the three-headed poisonous dragon that was stealing food under the tree and flew away.

The poisonous dragon fell into the nursery like a cannonball and overwhelmed a large amount of magic potion, causing the seven nymphs who were watering the plants to scream.

Hearing the cries of his daughters, Alcyoneus, the King of the Giants, 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? I want to ask you!"

The Titan Atlas, who was freed from the seal and curse, snorted coldly and looked at the leader of the Giants with a gloomy look.

"The war is not over yet, but you 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 rocks and drinking sewage. We couldn't even see a little sunlight, just like dirty rats. Now we are back on the ground and have snatched such a good place. Can't we enjoy it? These are all what we deserve!"

The King of the Giants Alcyoneus retorted angrily, looking indignant.

Atlas became even more annoyed after hearing this convincing argument: "Just these fruits and cold water, have you been bewitched?"

Then, the Titan took a look at this cozy nest, pointed at the holy mountain looming among the stars, and shouted with some regret.

"A bunch of unambitious things! We want not only this broken garden, but Olympus on the top of the stars, and the wider world! As descendants of the Titans, descendants of Uranus, we should take back everything we have lost and let everything return to the Titans' order!"

Hearing this deafening declaration, the brave and aggressive nature of the giants was ignited, and they couldn't help but roar with excitement, and even looked at the giant leaders with a trace of contempt.

They fought to death outside, but these guys actually hid in the holy garden to enjoy comfort, which was a disgrace to the Titans!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, Alcyoneus, the king of the giants, softened his tone and explained to Atlas on the opposite side.

"Taking over the Holy Garden and occupying this place is not for ourselves, but for all the tribesmen and the final victory!"

"What do you mean?"

"Thousands of years of living underground have already weakened the tribesmen. The last time we attacked Thessaly, we lost many of our compatriots. Even with you and Prometheus, I'm afraid we can't shake the divine power of Olympus..."

Atlas was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly.

Although he didn't want to admit it, this was an indisputable fact.

Since Mount Othrys was abandoned, the divine power of the twelve Titans was divided, and the strength of the entire Titan group was inevitably going downhill.

Even though the former main gods were ordered to seal themselves because of the contract with the three goddesses of fate, and were only allowed to walk in the world in the form of split spirits and descended spirits, it was not something that the current giants could easily touch.

Even with the support of the old gods, it is basically a pipe dream to want to attack Olympus and establish an order belonging to the Titans.

"So, we need to capture this holy garden and seize the [immortality] that belongs to the gods!"

The king of the giants, Alcyoneus, turned around and looked at the lush golden apple tree enthusiastically.

When Olympus was established, the mother goddess Gaia sent this golden apple tree at the wedding of Zeus and Hera.

Its fruit contains the divinity of [immortality], 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 the recognition of the Olympian gods by Gaia, the mother of the earth, and the transfer of the divine power of the mother of the earth.

Therefore, Hera's power in marriage and reproduction was stabilized.

But the queen was blinded by jealousy. After succeeding to the throne, she was obsessed with hunting down her husband's illegitimate children and lovers, and gradually lost her reverence and love for life.

Therefore, she has not been fully recognized by the sacred tree, nor has she inherited the complete divine power of the earth.

Now, the giants who have conquered this holy garden, controlled the golden apple tree, and are naturally close to the earth can rapidly improve their strength by eating the golden apples and herbs containing the divinity of the earth in the garden, and obtain the characteristics of [immortality] and even [immortality]. From then on, they have the capital to compete with the Olympian gods.

"So that's it..."

After listening to the secrets told by Alcyoneus, the King of Giants, Atlas suddenly realized.

Then, the Titan waved his hand and spoke directly.

"In that case, let's divide these good things quickly."

"..."

The King of Giants Alcyoneus' face darkened when he heard this.

The Divine Power of the Earth, he hasn't absorbed much yet, and he has to divide such precious resources equally among his fellow tribesmen? Then he, the leader, has worked in vain?

Besides, when will it be your turn as an outsider to distribute my things?

"Hera has escaped, and the news of the fall of the Holy Garden will not be concealed for long. We can't stay here for too long."

Just when the King of Giants Alcyoneus was unhappy, a deep and powerful voice came, and a prisoner with broken shackles on both hands, his hair and beard were as messy as dry grass, but his eyes were as bright as stars, walked into the secret realm with dozens of giants.

"Prometheus, you are finally back!"

Atlas Lang rushed towards the newcomer with a smile and gave his brother a solid hug.

They were both sons of the soul of the twelve Titans and the prophetic Titan Iapetus, and they had always had a good relationship. Although they had different positions in the Titan War, they were both treated harshly by Zeus after the war. They had a common enemy and walked side by side again.

"Hera escaped?"

At this time, Alcyoneus, the king of the giants, heard the news brought by Prometheus. He was stunned 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! The queen of the twelve gods of Olympus, whose status is second only to the king of gods!"

Atlas turned his head and snorted coldly. While making excuses for his brother, he did not forget to belittle Alcyoneus, the king of the giants who hid in the sacred garden and ate alone.

"If you are sure, why don't you lead your own people to chase?"

"If I have to do everything, what can you do?"

The King of the Giants, Alcyoneus, opened his eyes and clenched his fists angrily.

"Don't forget, if I hadn't rescued you, how could you have the right to stand here and talk to me!"

"We brothers will remember your grace of rescue, so we are willing to obey your orders and work together to regain the power of the Titans."

Prometheus saw that the two Titans were about to fight on the spot after a disagreement, so he hurried forward to appease them and took the initiative to take responsibility.

"It is my fault for not bringing Hera here, please punish me."

Looking at Prometheus who bowed to him and the burly and powerful Titan Atlas beside him, the King of the Giants, Alcyoneus, restrained his anger and waved his hand and snorted.

"Forget it. After all, she is the Queen of Olympus, and she is also supported by the eldest daughter of Typhon, the 100-headed dragon Ladon. You have just been released, and your divinity and power are not as good as before. It is understandable that you failed to stop them."

"Thank you for your tolerance and understanding."

Prometheus showed gratitude on his face, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Although we failed to bring Hera back, we also forced her into the Sea of ​​Chaos and left spies nearby. In the short term, she should not be able to escape from our hands, nor can she contact other gods. We'd better take this opportunity to absorb the earth divinity in the Holy Garden and strengthen the strength of the giants. When we have the capital to play with Olympus, let alone an injured Hera, even if the Olympian gods come collectively, they may not be able to defeat us.

And as long as we win the final battle and take back the authority of the Titans, not only the Holy Garden, but also the whole world will be under your feet!"

Hearing the reminder of this wise man, the King of the Giants, Alcyoneus, was immediately moved.

Indeed, if you want to obtain the supreme divine power, you should not be obsessed with enjoying this little sweetness alone.

Then, the King of the Giants, Alcyoneus, waved his hand in a generous manner and announced loudly to his subordinates.

"Brothers, come, flatten this mountain, take everything away, and enjoy the spoils you deserve!"

Hearing the leader's words, the giants' eyes lit up, and they could not wait to pounce on the herbs and golden apple trees in the holy garden that exuded a strong divine breath.

Soon, the herbs were uprooted and stuffed into the giants' mouths with soil; the golden apples were pulled down from the trees, and the sweet juice turned into a strong earth divinity in the giants' bodies; the springs were drained and drunk, and even the stones and mosses stained with water were gnawed clean by the giants...

Soon, the demons who heard the news also joined the carnival, devouring the rich resources in the Holy Garden crazily.

Seeing his subordinates eating up the Holy Garden that he regarded as his private property like passing locusts, Alcyoneus, the king of the giants, felt his heart bleeding.

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 gluttonous feast under the sun.

In a corner that no one noticed, Prometheus, who had arrived under the sacred tree at some point, decisively picked a few ripe golden apples and shared them with his brother Atlas.

The rich earth divinity poured into the body, and the hidden injuries left by the two people for many years of torture were gradually repaired. The majestic vitality washed over the somewhat decayed body, making it rejuvenated.

After a while, Prometheus, who woke up, clenched his fists, looked at the flesh and blood on his arms, nodded with satisfaction, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

"Buzz~~"

Just as the giants and the monsters were immersed in the joy of growing strength, the ground shook violently, and the altar made of blue-black volcanic stones slowly rose in the holy garden. The giant phantom that seemed to merge with the darkness opened his deep eyes, looked at the chaos in front of him, the unrecognizable holy garden, and the golden apple tree that was almost plucked out, and frowned deeply.

"What are you doing?"

"Share the spoils we have captured, strengthen the strength of the tribe, and let them have the capital to fight against the gods."

The king of the giants, Alcyoneus, quickly lowered his head and answered respectfully.

Hearing Alcyoneus' answer, the god king Kronos was furious, and the earth shook under the rhythm of his divine power.

"Fools! Who allowed you to get involved in these things?"

Feeling the gloomy pressure, Alcyoneus' heart jumped, and he quickly explained dryly.

"This is... the spoils of war..."

According to Greek tradition, whoever grabs something should naturally control it.

As a king, he not only did not enjoy it all by himself, but also used the rare resources to strengthen the strength of the Guigantes clan, which was definitely generous.

"This is the sacred object of the mother goddess Gaia! How to deal with it should be decided by her, not you!"

The king of gods Kronos snorted coldly, looking at Alcyoneus with a cold look.

Emptying the holy garden and swallowing the herbs and divine fruits whole only increases the divinity in vain. Even if it can compete with the gods of Olympus in terms of strength, it is probably difficult to shake the order of destiny in the end.

Only by offering these things in front of him to the mother goddess Gaia and obtaining her support and gifts, can the Titans gain a firm foothold fundamentally.

After all, the sky, the ocean, and the underworld are all under the control of Olympus. At present, only the divine power of the earth is the foundation for the Guigantes clan to gain a foothold and rely on.

The stronger the divine power of the earth is, the more obvious their own gains will be.

Even if they are unwilling to sacrifice to Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, isn't there still him, the king of gods?

In order to get these giants out of the underground, as old gods, they have made a lot of efforts.

As a result, just after getting some benefits from the protection of the old gods, these idiots can't wait to embezzle the results of the war, or in the stupidest way, which is so short-sighted that it is hopeless!

"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.

"Alcyoneus has actually prepared tribute for you in advance."

Hearing that this wise man actually took out his own share of the spoils and excused him, the king of the giants on the side was deeply moved.

This brother is a good person, and he can get along!

"Hmph, Iapatos's kid, our bodies have long been imprisoned, and our souls cannot be freed, what's the use of these things?"

Kronos in the altar snorted with a gloomy face, but the surrounding murderous atmosphere weakened.

Although they looked down on and didn't need a few golden apples, the attitude of the Guigantes clan was barely acceptable.

I still counted on these giant relatives to attack Olympus and pull the rebellious son Zeus off the throne. Naturally, it was impossible for him to really turn against these giants because of a momentary displeasure.

"Forget it, take these little things back and sacrifice this golden apple tree to the king!"

Kronos spoke in a deep voice, looking at the bare golden apple tree with a fiery look.

The mother goddess Gaia wants it? It's obviously you who want it, right?

Alcyoneus glanced at the greed and desire on the face of the king of gods that could hardly be concealed, and secretly complained in his heart, quite reluctant.

But the situation was stronger than the person. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only order the giants to build an altar under the golden apple tree, draw a spell, and hold a ceremony together under the urging of the God King Kronos, to sacrifice the divine power from the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia to the God King Kronos.

With the nourishment of this divinity, the shadow in the altar was obviously much more condensed.

The divine emblems in the blue-black flames also became brighter.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by an obscure tremor, several divine emblems flew out from the altar and merged into the bodies of Titans such as Atlas, Prometheus, and Alcyoneus, the King of Giants, forming bloody scars.

Suddenly, the wonderful feeling of everything in the palm of your hand surged into your heart, and the Titans who were sealed were overjoyed.

Power! The power of the Titan gods!

The flames on the altar danced, and the God King Kronos groaned leisurely.

"Take it, this is the favor bestowed upon you by the king. With this honor, drive those evil spawn of Olympus off the stage and rebuild the glory of the Titans!"

"Kill those evil spawn of Olympus and rebuild the glory of the Titans!"

The giants were overwhelmed with excitement and cheered and roared.

Prometheus in the crowd also echoed the shouting, but when he lowered his eyes and looked at the divine emblem hidden on his forehead in the water, his eyes were filled with gloom.

Whether it was the old gods or the new gods, they never had the virtues of "kindness" and "generosity"...
