The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Mr. Night Owl, please look over there... yes, yes, a little further to the left, a little further, toward the eleven o'clock direction, do you see the mist-shrouded mountains and the top of the snow that is already a little white? "

"Well, I saw it, that's..."

"That's the famous Mount Olympus! It's said to be the place where the ancient Greek gods lived. How about it? Isn't it particularly clear from this perspective? It's particularly spectacular?"

Chen Tianwu held the telescope in his hand tightly, letting two girls about his age chatter in his ears. After a while, he put down the telescope, and there was a little disappointment on his cold face.

"From this angle, it looks like a dispensable hill. Sure enough, you still have to be on the ground, especially in Greece, looking northward and looking at the mountain that is obscured by clouds and mist all year round. It’s a sacred mountain that humans can’t climb, it belongs only to gods.”

There was some sigh in Chen's words, but not much.

In any case, his reaction was too bland, which made both Susanna and Arvette even more disappointed.

From the Pillars of Hercules to the misty British Isles, from the Black Forest of Germania to the Danube that connects the Alps and the Black Sea like a ribbon, to the city that most people in the world can name. sacred mountain...

No matter what was in front of him, there was not much "surprise" in the eyes of the young man in front of him.

His answer was either oh, or it was a fixed format of [it turns out to be XXX]. In comparison, his disappointing remarks about Mount Olympus were quite... lenient.

etc? Could it be that this young man is a sullen type, and everything he did before was just a deliberate attempt to cover up his emotions, and that he is willing to waste so much saliva on Mount Olympus, does that mean that he has a soft spot for this mountain?

Arvite and Susanna looked at each other, and after unifying their thoughts, they began to pester Chen Tianwu to explain the messy Greek mythology to him.

But as they talked, the two people's ideas were gradually assimilated by Tianwu.

"Uh... It seems like, how high is Mount Olympus? The highest altitude seems to be less than three thousand meters. The twelve gods are all children of the Titan Cronus, right? If the Titan is a giant, then these The size of the main god should not be too small. According to human house standards, there are a group of gods one thousand meters high living in a three thousand meter mountain... Well, they are indeed giants in a secular sense, but I always feel Compared with the 10,000-meter altitude of the floating port, it is a bit... weak. "

After a while, Arvette sighed with despair.

But Chen Tianwu quickly corrected the fallacy in her language:

"First of all, Titans are not giants. Uranus, the father of the Titan gods, does have some children who are cyclops and hundred-armed giants, but the connection between Titans and giants in mythology is just this. The reason why they are now called [Titans] "This word is used interchangeably with [giant], probably due to semantic confusion in the spread of myths."

"Ah? Really?"

Arvette tilted her head in disbelief. She shook off the clouds that were coming towards her face. This is the problem with the floating port. The energy shield on the outside is similar to the semi-permeable membrane inside an egg shell, which can block the kinetic energy from exceeding A certain threshold of physical attacks, including extremely strong winds at high altitudes, has no blocking effect on normal levels of strong winds and clouds - although most of the time the Valkyries will not dislike this, because the feeling of stepping on clouds and mist is very similar. In the legendary kingdom of heaven, the Valkyries are essentially just a group of playful girls.

"Right. Due to some personal reasons, I used to be very interested in the concept of [gods], so I have been browsing myths from all over the world for a long time. I should still have good memories of these basic concepts. of."

Although these words are somewhat unconvincing when spoken by a gloomy young man...

No, looking at the boy's gloomy face, maybe the boy who she and Susanna identified as sultry actually understood those myths because of his chubby heart, and at this time, his heart was calling for all kinds of things. The name of a god...

However, it’s okay to see through this kind of thing. Let’s not expose it for now, right?

Chen Tianwu could not hear the voices of the two Valkyries. He just raised the telescope again, and after crossing countless distances, he landed on the sacred mountain that looked unholy from 10,000 meters above the sky.

Nothing more.

This is the truest thought in Chen Tianwu's heart.

From beginning to end, he never told a lie.

That small rise on the ground is the heaven that people have been unable to reach for countless times in the past. People believed that gods lived there until they had the ability to climb that mountain. No...if it were now, it would have surpassed the mountain itself.

Beneath that mountain lies the Peloponnese Peninsula, which is like the palm of a hand. With that mountain as a hub, walking northwest along the Danube River is the Dinaric Mountains. Crossing the Danube River and heading north, it suddenly turns left, like a sickle, and is the Carpathian Mountains. Wrapped in a vast plain blocked by the Alps coming from the west, is the Carpathian Basin, and the meandering Danube River divides this vast basin into the Transdanubian River, the Hungarian Small Plain and the Hungarian Great Plain.

Having said so much, in Chen Tianwu's sight, it was only a fist-sized place. If there was anything special about it, it was that it was extremely green.

Why do you need to think about this...

Chen Tianwu continued to move his gaze to the northwest. He saw a plain that was higher than the Carpathian Basin.

That was Bohemia, the heartland of what was once Destiny.

Even though five hundred years have passed, the soil there is still different from the burnt black or reddish brown in the Carpathian Basin. The fire that almost destroyed the entire center of the European continent proved its existence in this way. And... tell those who come after you what history is.

Chen Tianwu didn't lie. He was indeed very interested in gods at a certain stage, and the cause of all this may be past experiences plus the stimulation of gods.

By the way, the reason why Chen Tianwu is interested in gods is because he has seen real gods with his own eyes, right?

The Lord of the World Snake, the man named Mikael.

Under the continuous propaganda of Dr. Mebius, everyone who joins the World Snake knows this name. As a senior cadre, he has the authority to enter the Paradise of the Past and has access to some information... Of course, these are all in Mebius. The moment Dr. Bius directly held Mikael's hand and brought him to the [God's Throne], it was all in vain.

That meeting gave Chen Tianwu the same sense of loss as at this moment.

[It turns out that the so-called gods only look like humans. 】

That's probably true.

He was not someone who would place unfulfilled wishes on divine power, but sometimes he still couldn't help but wonder, if he prayed to that god, would the other god be able to return his sister to him with his power?

Can divine power do such a thing?

But ever since he met the gods, he never thought about it that way again.

Because what he saw was really just a man who looked a few years older than him, just as cold and gloomy.

The gods in his imagination are actually what Arvite mentioned before. Although Titans are not necessarily giants, the most intuitive impression created by humans when they imagine the power of gods is the extremely huge body.

...It turns out that he was mistaken about the gods after all.

The fires of Bohemia and the ruins of the Salt Lake City base all tell the story of the power of God with their eerie silence.

The ridge-like back that slowly rose from the dust of the ruins and the towering body made people tremble in their souls just by looking at it, and the ear-piercing screams made the brain twitch all the time.

Can they... really defeat such a god...

His sister could no longer be taken back, and if he did not defeat the gods, his and Anna's future would also be gone.

Moreover, I... At this moment, although I am already a senior cadre in the World Snake, I am only suitable for carrying out some special tasks like petty theft. In the previous battle against the Domination Theater, I could only act as a Bystanders…

His fists were slowly clenched, and his mechanical body was gradually replaced under Anna's care. At present, the degree of mechanical transformation in his whole body has dropped to less than 50%, but his combat effectiveness has become weaker. If this continues... Absolutely No way……

"hehe……"

Chen suddenly laughed. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he felt that he was probably crazy. Sometimes, people still need the spirit of muddling along. In short... let's enjoy the scenery in front of us first, and don't let down the kindness of Ms. Theresa.

A date with Anna... I don’t know if I can survive until that day.

In this cruel world, no one knows whether death will come at the next moment.

"Let's go to the junction of the third floating port and the fourth floating port, okay?"

"Of course!"

Arvite turned over and jumped onto the sightseeing bus, patting the seat. Susana, who had a camera hanging around her neck, quickly jumped on. Chen's movements were not hurried, and she saw that he had already gotten on the bus, and before he could wait, He sat down, and Arvette hurriedly stepped on the accelerator.

Because Chen Du only glanced at the previous locations symbolically and lost interest, so from the beginning to now, it was less than an hour. They basically arrived, got off, introduced, oh, got on the bus. Such a simple process. Although Chen didn't stay in Mount Olympus for a long time, Arvette could see that he was very interested. Plus, this was the first time that he took the initiative to go to a certain place. place, she was full of energy for a while.

So the sightseeing car rushed out with a "Woo" sound at a super high speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and finally arrived at the observation deck at the junction of the third and fourth floating airports ten minutes later and lived up to expectations.

Several people quickly jumped out of the car. Susana first picked up the binoculars and took a look, then jumped to point to a small "lake" that was almost invisible on the far left side of the line of sight and said:

"Ah, I forgot to introduce it just now! There is the Aegean Sea. Did you see the strait that is only a line wide? That is the junction of the Eurasian continent. The continent below that is born like a hot dog is the Asia Minor Peninsula—— The plateau of Anatolia, the volcanoes of Cappadocia, the Trojan War, the epic of the hero's return home... The ten thousand Greek mercenaries in Xenophon's works went north in the Mesopotamia, crossing the Armenian and Benchmarks at the end of the line of sight. Dushan District entered the Black Sea and returned to his hometown in the city-state along the Black Sea. If you like Greek mythology so much, you must remember this place! "

"Sushana, what are you so excited about? Shouldn't I introduce these?"

"Oh, if you go further down, you will reach my hometown!"

"Hot dog..."

Chen Tianwu chanted in a low voice.

The two Valkyries seemed to have misunderstood him, but he didn't care.

Naturally, he automatically ignored the subsequent introduction, but Susanna's calling the Asia Minor Peninsula "Hot Dog" made him somewhat uncomfortable.

It’s not that he doesn’t eat hot dogs, or any other reason, it’s just that he has a metaphor that only belongs to him——

In his eyes, the peninsula of Asia Minor was like the lone big arm raised flat by a man who had lost his forearm, and the bay of Antioch was undoubtedly the armpit.

Why is there such a strange metaphor?

It's just because he once looked in the mirror and saw himself without his left forearm.

Further south is the so-called Promised Land Canaan. Further east from Canaan, there are vast deserts and plains, which are not blocked until the Zagros Mountains. Under the Zagros Mountains is the land of Shinar sandwiched between two plains, where the legendary Tower of Babel is located.

Then again, since that Mikael is a real god, as the origin of the most influential myth in the world, what does that holy city mean to him? Are all the things that gods do in life also done by him?

Thinking like this, under the influence of some force majeure, Chen, Susanna, and Arvite actually tacitly focused their sights in the direction of the Holy City at the same time.

then--

"Then...what is that?"

"Forget it and sound the alarm—wait, no need."

"Woo-wu-wu-"

The shrill sirens began to echo over the entire headquarters.

"Hey Susanna, is that plain east of Canaan the former Babylon?"

"Yes, yes, it is said that the Judeans built Babel there as slaves--"

…………

"Oh, these Rakshasa ghosts are just Qiao Qing. How on earth did they come up with such a thing as coffee? No serious person drinks coffee!"

The gentle sound of waves could be heard in my ears. Seagulls swooped from the sky, glided parallel to the water, and then quickly flew up in the direction of the sun.

Under the palm trees that could not block the sun, the Herrscher of Knowledge was wearing small sunglasses and holding a steaming cup of coffee in both hands, sipping it like tea.

Opposite her, the girl covered her cat ears with a fisherman's hat, while looking around at the houses that were either blue, orange, or white and gray, but without exception, they were square and shaped like neat cakes. She scratched her butt with her palms from time to time - her tail was not as easy to hide as her ears. She wrapped her tail around her waist and covered it with a large T-shirt, but her tail always hurt badly due to excessive bending.

The girl just thought that night would come soon, and with the cover of light and shadow, she would not have to go to such trouble.

However, after hearing the voice of the Herrscher of Consciousness on the opposite side, she still responded to him with the thought that "this might divert her attention and relieve the pain":

"But Sister Shi, if you say something so disgusting, aren't you still drinking..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge was not happy at that time. She moved her round sunglasses to her forehead and stared at Pado with her blood-red but non-oppressive eyes:

"What do you know! I have to taste everything Old Antique has never tasted for her. And - tasting! Do you know what tasting is? How can you appreciate it if you don't taste it!"

"Um...Sister Shi, Ah Hua has drank coffee before, and...can you spend your own money on the tasting..."

"Huh? What did you say? Say it again."

"No, Sister Shi, you heard wrong, we didn't say anything."

Pado gave in very skillfully. Although she called her "Sister Shi" skillfully, she knew very well that this was a naughty child of the niece generation. Naughty children, just coax her, just like someone else stroking her hair along the way. She always felt comfortable when she was doing it, but doing it against her back was simply a kind of torture.

"And let me tell you! What kind of taste do these Rakshasa people have? They can actually think of putting sugar and milk in tea. They have no sense and are talking nonsense like this. You can't teach a child!"

After saying this, the Lawyer of Knowledge began to criticize angrily.

Although he had made up his mind to pet the cat, Pado still seemed hesitant to speak. The last one couldn't help but whispered:

"Sister Shi, look, tea with sugar and milk, isn't it milk tea... You even used my money to secretly order two cups last night..."

"Huh? How do you confirm that it was me who ordered it?"

"Because a body was found in the trash can in your room this morning..."

"Let me tell you, you are preconceived, do you understand? When investigating a case, you should avoid direct clues. The first suspect will never be the real criminal... Just like the milk tea thing, look at me, I Like someone who bought milk tea in the middle of the night but doesn’t know how to share it?”

"Who is that……"

"If it's not me or you, who else? She—"

The Herrscher of Knowledge turned his head coolly and pointed his finger at the white-haired woman sitting alone on the table not far away.

Ling Shuang raised her dead eyes. She didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two clearly. She just moved her eyes in confusion, and her lips let go of the straw. Then a drop of milk tea from the top of the straw fell on the chest of her pure white T-shirt. A long dark trace appeared.

"Well……"

Padoseng covered his forehead helplessly.

So, the two of them had a drink last night, right...

It's still our money...

Damn it, we were just here to buy some goods last night, but we didn’t expect that our house was stolen...

Sister Shi and Sister Lingshuang are really more difficult to maintain than the other. The latter agreed that he was here to supervise Sister Shi secretly, but there was no sign of hiding any traces from the beginning. Instead, he said, "She can sense it anyway, so I might as well not pretend" and then followed the two of them openly. But when Paduo suggested that the three of them just get together, what did Sister Lingshuang say: "No, my mission is to secretly supervise the Herrscher of Knowledge, how can I walk together openly with you?"

…

So is there a difference now?

Pado even had the illusion that he was the smartest among the three people.

"Oh, by the way, little kitten, why did you bring me here? I asked you before but you kept pushing back and said [you'll know when you get here]. Why didn't I feel anything?"

"Well, sister Shi, you can play for two more days. We want to take you somewhere, but the changes here are a bit big. We may need to spend some time to find the entrance."

"Entrance?"

The eyes of the Herrscher of Knowledge were filled with suspicion.

"Doesn't it sound like a nice place? It can't be some kind of hell, right?"

"How could it be that kind of place... Well, it's a bit similar, but better than that!"

"Really?"

"Really, you can see another Ah Hua inside."

"Huh? Then I won't go. Who wants to see that old antique? One person is enough for me and I have to have another one?"

"Ah...but Sister Shi, you mention Ah Hua every day..."

"So what? Is there anything wrong with hating someone who scolds her every day?"

"Well……"

Paduo didn’t understand, but Paduo expressed that he was greatly shocked.

She stood up, stretched out gracefully, waved her hands, and her tone was somewhat lazy:

"Aww - the sunshine at noon today is so beautiful. I suddenly want to cancel my afternoon action plan and just take a nap here..."

But her yawn got stuck mid-yawn.

There was a panicked noise in the street, and a small number of pedestrians gathered together.

Ling Shuang looked over here. Before she could remind her anything, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly flew into the sky.

The sky that was still sunny just a moment ago suddenly had dark clouds gathering, and the wind also picked up silently. The lazy waves on the sea surface were stirred by the wind and soon reached the point where the peaks and ridges seemed to gather together.

The hair all over her body had completely exploded, and the ominous premonition was like a pair of cold hands grasping her heart. Her intuition was telling her that she must escape from this place immediately, but her intuition also told her that there seemed to be nowhere to escape.

"Dang Cang——"

The flagpole on an unknown building was violently broken by the wind and fell to the ground.

Also falling together was the Herrscher of Knowledge, whose expression became strange.

As if she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, she waved to Ling Shuang matter-of-factly, and it only took a tenth of a second for the latter to move to Paduo.

"By the way, Kitten, have you said before that there is a country in the southeast that people once built a huge tower that reaches the sky? What is it called..."

"Tower of Babel."

It was not Pado who said this, but Ling Shuang.

What Paduo asked was:

"What do you mean by that?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge did not answer, but pointed towards the sky.

The next moment, a straight upward black line suddenly appeared in the sky in that direction. The line of sight was extending toward the end of the blue, breaking through the thick dark clouds and escaping into a more distant space. But judging from the change that the black line has become thicker and more obvious from bottom to top, it should be continuing to extend, and I am afraid it will not stop until the end of the sky.

After all, it's like an awl poking into the sky.

In other words, it is a huge tower that reaches the sky.

Tower of Babel.
