Lost Narrative Poetry

in the hall.

The few lost people remained silent, but they tilted their ears slightly as if listening to some words.

And everyone who saw this scene felt that this was the critical moment, and success or failure depended on this. Even the king didn't say anything anymore, he just clenched his fists. If the exquisite wine vessel in his hand wasn't made of gold, it might have been crushed by him in nervousness.

"Well, that adult praised your bravery and determination, so he generously allowed us to provide you with help..."

Pretending to listen to the new instructions, the man showed a serious expression and said as planned from the beginning——

"We will hand over to you the... well, the extraordinary and incredible power bestowed upon you by Your Excellency, and not just to the Kingdom of Argos, but to all mortals and intelligent species..."

The smiles that the king and the nobles had just shown suddenly froze.

Not just for them?

Damn it, isn't this...wait, you can't be excited or excited. This can only mean that this is indeed the case. Their previous thoughts and guesses were correct. The two gods whose true identities are unknown want to Smash the old order ruled by their fathers and open up a new era that belongs to them.

The king tried his best to smile, looking like he was about to shed tears: "Thank you so much. This is definitely the best gift the Kingdom of Argos has ever received... Can I take the liberty to ask, what is the specific power of this power? what?"

"That is about the knowledge of craftsmen and forging, the fields of steam and machinery..." The man said seriously, "The mortal body is weak and weak, but as long as you master this gift, you can have a heart of steel and use your strength to The power is as strong as the gods in the sky!"

As he spoke, he and four teammates took a step forward at the same time.

The nano-suits on the five people quickly disintegrated, fading away like flowing mercury, and seemed to be folded. The surrounding warriors and nobles were startled by such changes, and subconsciously stepped back, leaving a large piece of space. of open space.

But this is just right for the next demonstration——

It's not over yet. While the nano-suits were folding, their bionic skins also began to fold simultaneously. This caused the naked bodies to be quickly covered by metal shells, super-alloy skeletons, and electronic eyes flashing with cold light from technology... ...etc., replaced by these.

Exclaims, screams, gasps, all kinds of sounds sounded around.

The soldiers clenched the shields and weapons in their hands with difficulty, and looked at the five humanoid figures appearing in front of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy... what were they?

Their limited vocabulary and worldview cannot provide answers, describe or understand such a strange life form.

The shiny silver metal shell, the shining electronic eyes, the hydraulic power distributors on the legs, the muscle units on the arms... everything has a futuristic sci-fi aesthetic, five people who were handsome men and beautiful women before , now only the outline curves of strong or slim bodies of men and women can be seen.

They, or rather, they, at this moment, were very intuitively and obviously showing the mechanized life form that they had transformed to this stage to everyone in the hall.

"As you can see..."

"This is the realm of steam and machinery..."

"We were all mortals once, but now we have replaced our fragile flesh and blood with forged steel, gaining unparalleled strength and life..."

Even the voices no longer had any disguise, but were filled with inexplicable electronic sounds. One sentence after another, the lost people explained the life forms of themselves and others, as well as the power they possessed.

As they explained, many people's nervous expressions gradually eased and began to become excited. This is probably because residents living in a plane world with a mythological background are still very accepting of such things, even if they don't understand them.

Just like people in the martial arts plane, as long as they can become the best in the world, they will definitely not mind practicing the Sunflower Book.

They are probably the same. In this era, no one would think that the human race is the most beautiful and cannot be discarded. For them, as long as they can gain a long life and powerful power, it doesn't matter whether they give up their souls or become some kind of monster.

What's more, according to what these "servants of God" said, they can maintain the appearance of normal people and there will be no impact at all.

"Can such power really fight against those gods?" Someone couldn't help but confirm again and again.

"Of course." Said these words in an electronic voice, and the man in the lead gave a decisive answer, "It's just you..."

The words are not finished yet.

A sudden coldness hit the entire hall silently.

The torches went out one after another, and the banquet scene that was bright and clean before suddenly fell into darkness. Everyone felt a chill, and some kind of terrible aura made them feel dizzy, their chests felt tight, and they seemed to be about to faint at any time. It seems like the past.

"How ridiculous! Insignificant mortals!"

An arrogant voice sounded, as if water waves were rising in the air, and there was a roaring sound of waves, and a human figure appeared in front of everyone with terrifying pressure.

"...!!"

The man's electronic voice flashed red rapidly.

The electronic signal replaced the nerve reflex, but at this moment it was the same feeling, that is, there was an urge to be a dog, and whatever you said came, it came!

I'm just boasting!

Wait, don't panic, steady your hands first, after all, you still have thighs behind you! Now may be the time to prove the determination and loyalty of yourself and others!

…………

"Do you want to take action? I'll do it this time?"

Arturia put down the roasted leg of lamb in her hand and turned to look in the direction of the palace. She immediately noticed the strange aura of divine power and reaction of the gods. Oceans, tsunamis, earthquakes, storms... in Greek mythology that dominates all these. God of the sea, Poseidon!

The overly similar nature of divine power and overlapping priesthoods in multiple fields made her feel sincere opposition and hostility at this moment.

“Would you like some cumin?”

The magician raised the seasoning bag and asked Artoria.

"Yes, put more here... put more here..."

The blond girl answered instinctively, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and immediately changed her face to a serious look: "Master, please be more serious, we are discussing serious issues now."

"I'm very serious..." Xia Ran said casually, "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything."

"Then you..." Artoria frowned. Before she could say anything, she heard a scream that resounded throughout the entire city of Argos. Almost everyone, as well as the people outside, were stunned. Watching a dazzling divine light escape.

"Damn it! You damn sinners, I will never let you go! Just wait and see!"

Accompanied by the background sound of Neptune screaming and putting down harsh words, the sea outside the city island became violent, thunder roared, clouds gathered, huge waves surged into the sky, and the terrifying pressure of the gods almost made all Argosians kneel in submission. on the ground.

My mind goes blank and I lose the ability to think.

"..."

"..."

"That's it?" Artoria opened her mouth. Even she didn't know what happened. Why was this menacing god repulsed all at once?

She subconsciously looked at her Master.

"It has nothing to do with me...this old actor of Lord Neptune." Xia Ran shook his head. He didn't do anything at all. It was just the newbies who wanted to show their loyalty and immediately launched an attack on Poseidon. , and then Poseidon also pretended to suffer a loss and was beaten away.

"It's powerful enough, but also, as long as there is a chance to replace Zeus's position, how much is face worth?"

The magician sighed leisurely, but his face was full of smiles.

He still somewhat underestimated the chaos and contradictions within the main gods of Olympus. They absolutely cannot be of the same mind. Resentment, ambition, greed... This flawed god has far stronger desires and primitive animality than humans. .

Just like Cronus, who overthrew the brutal rule of his father Uranus, learned his father's lesson, but instead of changing himself, he ate all the offspring he gave birth to. This may be a recurring curse——

The current third generation of Olympus gods are also unavoidable. For example, Hades was angry that Zeus took away the throne of his eldest brother, Hera was also resentful of Zeus's teddy behavior, and Poseidon was also angry. He once conspired with Hera, Athena, and Apollo to drive Zeus off the throne...

Suspicion and hatred are everywhere among the gods. As long as they can take revenge or achieve their own interests, they can use anything.

It’s great, God’s heart is available…

The magician thought so positively and optimistically. After all, strictly speaking, his plan had not officially started yet, and two main gods on the opposite side had already rebelled and jumped into his camp——

He had thought that he was going to be alone, fighting against the Olympian gods headed by Zeus.

But now it seems...

Maybe Zeus will be alone and fight against the Olympus gods headed by him.

…

…

The camera returns to the banquet scene.

"Is this, is this the power of steam and machinery?"

The king's arms were trembling with excitement, and the wine in the wine vessel spilled out. But it was not just them, the other nobles, landowners, and soldiers were all the same. At this moment, they were all staring at the venue with fanatical eyes. Five future warriors in the center.

They just saw with their own eyes that Poseidon was beaten by the firepower of these five powerful steel heroes and ran away without saying a harsh word.

The five lost people were also in a daze. They had almost suffocated under the pressure of that existence. Even though they had long since lost the function and necessity of breathing, their souls were still trembling after a long absence, reliving this feeling.

That is an enemy that he absolutely cannot fight against.

A being who can activate a spell to destroy all mankind with just one finger! A being who can force the strongest mortal into despair with just one hand!

However, such a powerful enemy was defeated by a few shots from their plasma shoulder cannon? Is the technology of the Predator clan so powerful? This thing is not very powerful at fighting aliens. How can it defeat a god?

"No, that's right, this is the power of steam and machinery!"

The captain reacted in time and said decisively, with an extremely enthusiastic tone. He felt that Thigh must have secretly used some means to help him and others shake the place, so he must not let his guard down at this time!

"Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is eternal. Only this path can allow you to fight against the tyranny of gods as a mortal!"
