Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

East of the palace complex.

There are a large number of metal cages used for confinement, and in most of the cages, there are only a pile of human-like skeletons left.

However, there are still six "prisoners" surviving. Judging from their bodies, which are two circles larger than ordinary humans, it is not difficult to guess that they are God's soldiers of Olympus.

But now they are wearing tattered clothes, skinny and mutilated, how can they look like soldiers?

In the center of this area, there is a simple blacksmith workshop.

"Ding... Ding...!" The intermittent sound of iron striking came from the workshop.

I saw the "blacksmith" who was also thin and lacked both legs, sitting in a wheelchair and holding a hammer in one hand, with a dull expression, and he was forging weakly.

On the shelves around the workshop, there are a variety of weapons and armor.

The "blacksmith" was unkempt, and his face, as well as the exposed skin, were covered with hideous scars.

All kinds of characteristics represent the identity of this "blacksmith", Hephaestus, one of the twelve main gods, and the husband whom Aphrodite despises.

at this time.

The two holy (blood) angels who chased and killed the demons to this area, the sound of their magnetic boots stepping on the floor tiles, instantly alarmed the servants of God who were locked in the cage.

Even though their bodies were mutilated and extremely weak, they still managed to stand up and stared at the two holy angels with angry and determined eyes.

It seems that the holy angels are regarded as members of the demons who are violent and sadistic to them.

After Hephaestus heard the footsteps gradually approaching it, he temporarily stopped his boring forging work, and turned his head to look at the two holy angels.

?

When it saw the chainsword, the bolt gun, and especially the Mjolnir III power armor, its empty eyes returned to luster, as if such weapons and armor had renewed its interest.

At the same time, Hephaestus is not as hostile as the God Servant Soldiers, because it has discovered that the two comers are not demons, but this also makes it deep in thought.

On the other hand, the holy angels used communication to report as soon as they entered this area.

So before Hephaestus and the God Servant soldiers were too confused, they saw the two Primarchs who walked into this area, and the Artemis who could make them widen their eyes and couldn't believe it was real or fake.

One of the servants of God, who was missing his left calf and right forearm, let go of his left hand holding the metal fence, and slapped it hard on the left face before he lost his balance while standing on one leg.

"Crack!" The sound was extremely loud.

Pain coming from the cheek means it is awake now.

The rest of the soldiers were equally excited, because the arrival of Artemis gave them hope of rebirth.

As for Artemis, he looked at every surviving soldier with respect.

To be honest, it didn't expect that apart from Primarch and Astartes, there would be God Servants who could resist the most primitive desires in their hearts, ignore Aphrodite's bewitching, and refuse to fall and corrupt.

This once again refreshed its cognition.

Hephaestus has not been corrupted, it can be understood, after all, his elder brother is gentle and peace-loving, and he is also one of the main gods.

Regardless of the strength of these six servants of the gods, relying on such will alone is enough to win the highest respect from Artemis.

Even Leon, Sanguinius and the two holy angels, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help admiring them.

Because different spaces and demons are not only the enemies of their humans, but also the enemies of all intelligent races.

Finally, Artemis walked into the workshop and came to Hephaestus.

And inside the bridge of the Griffon.

[The physical body of the abnormal phenomenon "Hephaestus" is detected to be in a weak state, and 400 points can be consumed to carry out spiritual plunder. 】

'Oh? The craftsman is still alive? '

After listening to the system reminder, Sui Bian, who overlooked the island of Thira, couldn't help saying something to himself.

He thought that the fallen Aphrodite had already sacrificed or killed Hephaestus.

It is definitely a surprise to find out that he is still alive now.

But the spiritual power of the craftsman god is really weak, and it only takes four hundred to completely plunder, no wonder Aphrodite is so upset.

"gentlemen."

At this moment, the Red Queen standing on his left hand side reported the discovery of the six God Servants and Hephaestus, as well as the rest of the information about the underground palace.

While listening to the Red Queen's report, Sui Bian asked the system again: 'System, after Artemis has been robbed of his psychic power, he can still make the water of the full moon with purification ability, so what about Hephaestus?

If I plunder all its psionic energy, will it still have the ability to forge magical weapons? '

[Yes, even if he is plundered by spiritual energy, Hephaestus still retains the ability to "forge". 】

After being affirmed by the system, Sui Bian came immediately and said, 'Plunder. '

[Deduct 400 points for plundering, and the remaining points of the host are 260 points.

looting...

The plunder is complete, and the host has acquired all of Hephaestus' psychic powers. 】

After the system's voice fell, Sui Bian once again felt power filling his whole body.

Today, in order to plunder Medusa, Artemis and Hephaestus, he spent a total of 2100 points.

Although there are only 260 points left, his psychic power has increased unprecedentedly, and his psychic power coverage has been greatly improved, and even his ten "pro-sons" have also achieved a qualitative leap.

And not long after the plunder was completed.

"Sir." The Red Queen, who was reporting, asked Sui Bian: "Artemis swears by its godhead that Hephaestus and the six soldiers have not been corrupted or degenerated. May I ask how you should deal with this situation?" Seven anomalies."

Sui Bian, who was standing on the bridge, could easily see the situation in the underground palace, and personally confirmed what Artemis said was true.

"Hmm..." He muttered to himself, "The company seems to need a team for different spaces."

In fact, he originally had the idea of ​​waiting for the Astartes to reach a certain number, selecting the absolute elite from them, and forming a special team to fight against demons.

And Artemis has the ability to purify, and the six servants of the gods are determined and unafraid of corruption, and they seem to meet the criteria for joining this team.

But Sui Bian needed more detailed planning.

As for Hephaestus, that was Sui Bian's goal from the beginning, a "treasure".

With this craftsman god, the power armor and weapons of the Primarchs can be fully upgraded, and various equipment can be created for the elite troops.

However, before that, he needs Artemis to ask Hephaestus what happened to the gods of Olympus.

Immediately he said to the red queen: "Send technicians to carry out the standard cleaning and destruction procedures first, and Sanguinius and the Holy Blood Angels will be in charge of guarding.

Let Leon and his Dark Angels lead Artemis, Hephaestus and the six soldiers back to the ground. "

"Yes." The Red Queen replied.

At the end of the conversation, Sui Bian used his psychic power to cover the entire Thera Island, first to "erase" all connections between the underground palace and the different space, and at the same time provide shelter for the technicians who are about to enter, so that they have an absolutely safe space. environment of.
