The Death Knell

?"The environment here is like a mixture of Hades and Hell, plus a public toilet in a New York subway station."

Alberta held a cigarette in her mouth, squinted her eyes and cursed.

At this time, the group of people had arrived at the foot of what was once Mount Olympus, but now, it was a death canyon densely covered with brown miasma.

Some withered and charred vines blocked the way forward, and fragments of bones could even be vaguely seen under the boulders beside the road.

Greek-style polygonal columns, covered by mushrooms and lichen, slump in the mist.

"You forgot to add the sewers of Gotham."

They were also looking at the scene in front of them. This place now looked like a dark brown nightmare. Everything seemed unreal. Only the miasma was actually irritating the noses of several people.

Su Ming was looking at the simple analysis conclusion given in his eyepiece, and the data showed that this brown-yellow gas was harmful to all red-blooded creatures.

"Alberta, prepare protective magic for Flash, Zatanna, and yourself. You cannot breathe the air here."

Su Ming immediately made preparations. It didn't matter to him or to Donna. He had a helmet and symbiote, while Donna had the protection of the artifact.

From here, they will go deep into a canyon below the ground level, with their heads above being filled with chaotic abandoned buildings and twisted and mutated plants.

But in a narrow place, the flying ability is not as useful as the speed force.

Although I don’t know where exactly the so-called third magic pillar is located in the mountain, I must at least enter the empty mountain through the canyon.

Because he planned to ambush Hecate, it would be better to sneak into the village, otherwise he would have flown over and tried to blow up a tunnel, or find a place to dig a hole into the mountain.

With the help of the Speed ​​Force, he now seems to have arrived earlier than Hecate. In order to prevent her from raising her vigilance, it is necessary to ensure that there is no sign of major construction here when she arrives.

It's one thing to see things from the outside, but it's another thing to walk into the mist yourself.

In addition to the miasma that affects the field of vision, the biggest impact is the ubiquitous stench, which is similar to the smell in the swamp. It is the smell of animals and plants rotting in the mud.

I don't know how many bodies were gathered here at first, but now what is under everyone's feet should be a mass grave.

In this environment, even Barry was reluctant to speak. Although he was protected by magic, he still felt sticky on his skin, as if the stench was getting into his body.

The road at the beginning was still relatively wide, and although there was still no light when turning left and right, it could at least allow a few people to move forward side by side.

But as we go deeper and deeper underground, the passages become narrower and narrower, and on the contrary, there are more and more man-made traces.

Not only were torches appearing on the walls, but even the ground beneath their feet turned to stone.

These may be the ruins of a former palace corridor, but now they are being used again.

"It seems that Olympus still has people standing guard here, but I don't know how they will behave when facing Hecate."

Su Ming was now walking at the front of the team, holding a sword in his hand and keeping alert.

They arrived at a door with a relief of Medusa.

Donna had some objections to this relief. She felt very bad. Even with the protection of the artifact, no one would be willing to face Medusa.

As long as their eyes meet, they will turn into stone statues, and people rely on sight to fight.

Su Ming didn't care. The Greek gods loved playing mazes the most. No matter if they arranged a Medusa, a Minotaur, a Manticore or a Hydra behind the door, he would always have a way to deal with it.

It seems very reasonable to use a monster to guard the seal of the past.

However, what was behind the door was not what they imagined, but a female warrior wearing golden armor.

She had a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and was resting on the corpse of a monster.

She wore a full-covering gold helmet, a long metallic war skirt trailing to the ground, and a white dress under the full armor.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding torches, she seemed to be glowing with golden light.

In the Greek pantheon, there was only one woman who dressed like this and was good at using spears and shields.

"Goddess Athena, why are you here?"

Donna looked at the woman in front of her in surprise and revealed her identity. She took a few steps closer to say hello and looked at the monster corpse on the ground.

A monster was placed here to guard it because Olympus had learned enough lessons from its birth.

In order to prevent some unscrupulous archaeologists from coming here again to dig out the newborns, they prepared a passage that leads directly to the room where the monster is.

Because the passage is very narrow, the monster cannot get out when it grows up.

As mythical creatures, they won't starve to death and can just sleep here.

When a mortal comes in, no matter who he is, he just eats it and goes back to sleep.

But I don't know whether she was confused by sleep or was disturbed by the miasma around her. This time Athena got the news and came to stay here, and the monster actually attacked her.

As the eldest daughter of Zeus, Athena is not so easy to talk to. The mythical creature is just a warm-up for her.

Athena had no intention of taking off her helmet, but a pleasant sound came from under the golden Greek helmet.

"Olympus has received a communication from the Justice League. Hecate is coming towards the Pillar. Naturally, I have to stop her."

Su Ming took a few steps forward and looked at the corpse of the monster on the ground. This monster had three heads, a lion, a goat, and a poisonous snake.

In mythology, this thing is called a Chimera. Since I have never fought against it, I don’t know its strength.

But just looking at the various deep ravines on the stone floor, at least in terms of strength, there is nothing to criticize.

"Responsible for protecting the gods? Isn't this the mission of the God of War?"

Athena let out a chuckle, "If Diana is willing to shoulder her responsibilities to Olympus, this will certainly be her job."

However, everyone knows that Diana is annoyed by these gods. What she hates most is her status as a demigod, let alone wanting her to contribute to the gods again.

"I will do Diana's work for you, you can go."

Su Ming moved out of the way, indicating that Athena could go home and rest, and Hecate would deal with it, completely completing the task of protecting Diana.

Although the protected person is now imprisoned in stasis prison, it is still very safe.

Athena did not answer the question, but tapped her shield with her spear, letting Deathstroke fight like a Greek.

This obviously means he doesn't want to leave.

"I don't know how you and Hera discussed it, and I don't know why Eris is so generous, but if a mortal wants to pursue the goddess, he must at least have the ability to surpass the gods."

Su Ming sighed and put away his sword. The devil was going to fight Athena. Didn't I tell you not to make too much noise?

"Artemis has already lost to me. Her archery skills are not as good as my marksmanship. Lach and I didn't discuss anything, and Eris made something out of nothing. I have no interest in you three so-called goddesses. The so-called gods are also He’s just an ancient sorcerer.”

If he didn't know before the Witch's Moment, he would think that the word "goddess" sounds quite touching.

However, after knowing the origin of the gods, it feels like the princesses have become the daughters of Master Touzu of the village.

The whole family of "Master Zhou" likes to wear bed sheets, and they are immortal. At first glance, they look particularly fresh and refined.

But in essence, he is the same as everyone else, he is a villager, it is just that he is more educated.

Once upon a time, they were all human beings. Because of their great power, they proclaimed themselves gods. After the statue was gilded and torn off, the mud underneath was revealed.

"Not interested?" Donna opened her eyes wide.

"Not interested!" He touched his chin.

"Not interested" Arbela raised her eyebrows.

"" And Athena just rushed towards him, the golden spear in her hand shining sharply.

Su Ming closed his eyes. He didn't close his eyes and wait for death, but he already had a plan.

"Barry, lend me some electricity. I have to send the naughty goddess to the South Pole. She needs to calm down."
