spirit realm
"With our current strength, it's impossible for us to kill the Hydra in the canyon deep within the Fog Sea. As one of the four ancient beasts of the Divine Realm, its divine power far surpasses the four of us. Do you have any ideas?" Herrera looked at Kaos, deliberately putting on a tragic expression as if he was prepared to die.
" My answer is the same as yours. With our current divine power, it's impossible for us to kill the Hydra. Even if there's no limit to our strength, we can only delay it." Shelby walked to the edge of the cliff and lowered his head in deep thought." But if we just want to pass through the Hydra's defense line and reach the next level, I'm still confident.”
"If we don't kill the Hydra, how can it let us pass through?”Zhao Gongming didn't quite believe it, but judging from Celebi's expression, he didn't seem to be spouting nonsense. "The meaning of its existence has changed. Why did it choose this place as its habitat when we sealed it? Wasn't it one of the lines of defense used to imprison Artemis? She's the strongest expert in the Divine Realm. She can bring us a huge increase in strength in a short period of time, or even a few times."
"If it was before, I wouldn't have been confident. Now, I think I can give it a try.”
"Before? Before what?" Zhao Gongming asked in confusion.
"Before I attack Seth." Celebi turned around and faced Kaos, her eyes flashing with a faint light." In the past, when we fought with Jemongad at the end, we almost lost our lives to it. At that time, I tried to use my special ability to control Jermungander, but it was useless. Its divine power was too great. My special ability was like a kite in the face of such a huge divine power. Even with that string, it was useless. It would break with a blow. "But just now, I used the characteristic again. I realized that my ability to control the characteristic has improved greatly. Even though he couldn't completely control the Hydra, it was still easy to just 'deceive' it.”
"'Fooled it?'" Zhao Gongming did not quite understand." What do you mean?”
" Although my special characteristic isn't enough to completely control the Hydra to listen to my commands, I can make it seriously underestimate our strength, so much so that it won't even be able to sense our existence. We only need to hide our Divine Power to the minimum and slow down the speed of the Golden Morning Mist in our bodies to the minimum. Then, with my special characteristic, I can make the Hydra think that we're just ordinary little bugs or something small. In that case, it will definitely not attack us. This way, we only need to slowly pass through it and pass through the gaps in its huge body.”
"But to reach the bottom, I have to use a magic treasure to fly or release a spiritual pet to dive. Otherwise, I can't fly down, right? If I don't release my divine power at all and rely on my physical strength to climb down the cliff wall, when will I be able to complete it?”On the side, Herrera still had some reservations about this plan, but he vaguely felt that this crazy plan was not completely impossible.
"This is the part that needs the two of you to complete. You have collected so many magic treasures, and there must be a soul tool that can carry people and ride the wind. You just need to let this magic treasure carry you and slowly sink from the sky. "Because even if a magic treasure emits a huge amount of divine power, don't forget that we're in the spirit realm. There are tens of thousands of magic treasures emitting divine power in the entire valley. If one suddenly appears, it won't cause any abnormalities. It's just like how you can't detect a blade of grass suddenly appearing on the vast grassland.”
Kaos's pupils shone brightly in the dim light, and his face was filled with excitement.
Previously, although he had been determined to save his sister, he now realized that this plan was not " certain death " but a possibility of success. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
" Besides, we still have one last line of defense, and that is, you have the Horcrux-Koons 'Holy Garment. Although I have a piece of it, it is with Thor now," Zhao Gongming continued." Even if Shelby's characteristic is ineffective and Hydra senses a weak divine power approaching it, even if it attacks, it will be like a tiger trying to kill a mosquito. It will not use all its strength and will only attack lightly. The Holy Garment of Koons that you possess is enough to withstand this insignificant attack. When the Hydra realized that its attack had missed, it would be even more certain that the divine power it seemed to have sensed just now was just an illusion.”
Kaos was silent for a moment before finally letting out a voice from his throat."Alright."
He did not say another word, but Zhao Gongming could hear that he was trying his best to suppress his sobs.
"Let's begin." Celebi looked at Zhao Gongming and Kaos.
" Don't look at me. I only have practical magic treasures. I don't have anything that can carry people into space…" Kaos turned his face away.
"I do have one." Zhao Gongming nodded and waved his hand in the air. A round container that looked like glass and jade plate appeared in the air. It floated slightly and looked as if it was nothing. "This is a soul tool that is neither a defensive tool nor a weapon. Its name is Mystic Light Mirror. It can reduce the effect of various attributes on the enemy on the battlefield.”
"…The other gods and even the Elder Council of the Eastern God Clan don't know that you've collected so many types of magic treasures, right?”Herrera looked at Zhao Gongming and said seriously.
Zhao Gongming didn't answer. He pulled his hand down and the Mystic Light Mirror slowly began to sink to the bottom of the valley. Herrera and Zhao Gongming jumped down from the edge of the cliff and landed steadily on it. Zhao Gongming turned his head and waved at Kaos. Kaos nodded and closed his eyes. Countless white rays of light rolled under his feet. Circles of air currents lifted Kaos up, just like what happened to Sherabi. The four Gods slowly sank down. After a while, they disappeared under the thick clouds.
After the clouds dissipated, Zhao Gongming saw the hellish scene again. The bottom of the enormous, narrow canyon was crowded with long and thick tentacles that looked like roundworms, as if countless roundworms at the bottom of the river had been magnified dozens of times. They were densely packed in the bloody water. Herrera was shocked by the scene in front of him. Although he knew how terrifying the Hydra was, he didn't expect it to be so unbelievable.
"Lower your divine power to the minimum. We're about to enter the range that it can sense.”Zhao Gongming turned to look at her. Her eyes had turned completely golden, and her neck was faintly glowing with golden patterns. It seemed that Celebi had already activated her characteristic. It seemed that he had deceived the Hydra beneath his feet. The wriggling red flesh vines slowly weaved around and didn't notice the four Gods that were gradually approaching.
Kaos tightened the hem of Kongsi's Holy Garment, ready to activate his divine power at any time to activate it into a primitive silk state that could resist the attack of mutated beasts.
The height was getting lower and lower, and the bloody water level was also getting lower and lower. Those blood tongues that were as thick as huge tree trunks were all within reach, and the suction cups on them could be seen clearly. Just as he was about to touch the surface of the water, Kaos felt as if his heart was about to jump to his throat. At such a close distance, if the Hydra were to launch an attack in an instant, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to block it with its high speed and strength.
Suddenly, Celebi reached out her hands and plunged them into the red blood. Countless huge red worm-like flesh vines wriggled, and she gently parted the things that were crowded together as if she was pushing away the soft willow branches in the wind. Her eyes were completely out of focus, and the golden light inside was like boiling liquid gold.
The Mystic Light Mirror slowly sank into the Hydra's massive body.
unknown place
"We came out alive." Herrera closed his eyes, and it was as if he was still surrounded by the flesh wall formed by countless giant red roundworms. The stench that made people want to vomit, the dull squirming sound that seemed to stick to their eardrums, and his vision was scarlet. It was as if he had walked back from the edge of death.
Sheli gently sat down on a rock with her eyes closed. It seemed that she had used her special ability for too long to deceive Hydra. At this moment, her divine power was extremely low.
Zhao Gongming walked over and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. A large amount of pure divine power flowed into her body like spring water.
As Celebi closed his eyes to recover his strength, Kaos closed his eyes to explore the divine power around him.
There was no aura of divine power in the entire huge ruins. The huge underground city was like a desolate ruin. There was no one, not even a ghost.
Kaos turned around and saw that Celebi had already stood up.
"This place…why is it so…empty?”Just like Kaos, Celebi sensed the surroundings and was shocked by the black hole-like vacuum.
"But it definitely wasn't Jermungander who removed this defensive barrier, because the purpose of this place is to imprison the body of Artemis. It can't be removed.”Kaos said.
"There are no records of this place in the Eastern God Clan, so I'm not sure.”Zhao Gongming's brows were tightly locked. From his expression, it could be seen that his heart was filled with unknown fear.
"My sister's body is in a…how should I put it…white place. He should still be on the next level." Kaos knocked his head in pain.
"Then how do we get from here to the lower level, where we really imprison Artemis?”Herrera's voice pulled Kaos back to reality.
" Wait a minute." Kaos narrowed his eyes." Wait a minute…"
After a while.
"Yes." Kaos raised his head and looked around, walking towards the two huge stone pillars." Follow me."”
After walking in the darkness for about fifteen minutes, there was still no sound in the vast darkness around them. A deathly stillness without boundaries.
Kaos stopped at the ruins of an altar. Most of the surrounding stone platforms had already collapsed, leaving behind a circular depression in the middle of the altar. It looked like a circular pool, or perhaps it was the water of a sparkling fountain in the past.
"This should be the place," Kaos turned around and said. The spatial fluctuations here are the strongest."
"You're really a monster…You can still detect such a far place even with such a limited strength.”said Herrera.
"Indeed. Scouting requires powerful soul power, and that's what I majored in in the Three Realms Academy.”Kaos laughed bitterly." However, I can't use laws.”
"What is it? How could that be?" Herrera, who didn't know anything, asked.
"I didn't pay attention in class."
"... Your reason is domineering..."
Kaos walked over and stepped into the sunken circular plot of land. His face was filled with confusion.
"Look here." Zhao Gongming squatted down and waved his hand. A strong airflow swept away the dust on a huge square brick on the ground, and a line of words appeared:
“▼◇●♂℡℡︻︺︹τσψχπ”
" Beast language…" Kaos muttered.
"A visitor who wishes to open the White Hell,"
"Golden blood is the key to the door,"
" The left leads to survival."
" The right leads to death."
"That's about it." Kaos stood up." Fortunately, I didn't fail this subject…"
"White Hell should mean the world below, but why is it White Hell? And what does Golden Blood mean?" Herrera squatted down and studied the words.
"The golden blood should be the blood that has been fused with the Golden Morning Mist, which is the blood of the gods. However, how could they be of the same origin? The same origin should mean that they came from the same person…If that was the case, then the pool of blood would have died long ago.”Celebi frowned.
"That might not be the case."
Even so, it was definitely not a small matter to release so much blood from his body to fill the pool.
Attribute Change-Immortality
Kaos stretched out his left hand and rolled up his robe.
"Hey! What are you…"
Kaos raised his right hand and slashed at his wrist. A thick stench of blood instantly filled the air.
Kaos lowered his wrist, allowing the bright red and boiling blood to flow into the wall of the pool by his feet.
"I think the significance of this thing is that if a person consumes so much blood, even if he breaks the seal and enters the next level, he will definitely be so weak that he can't withstand a single blow. No matter what new traps and attacks he faces next, he will probably be unable to continue.”Kaos said.
This rescue mission was filled with too many dangers. Judging from the current situation, the design of imprisonment had reached an unimaginable and extremely evil level. Was it really just to prevent a god from giving a powerful combat boost to his teammates?
The dark and empty ruins were silent, except for the dripping sound of blood from Kaos's wrist dripping into the dried pool.
Dark red blood had already accumulated in the pool. However, as more and more blood was consumed, Kaos's immortality had given his body an instinctive protection. The wound on his wrist healed at an astonishing speed.
Kaos had no choice but to cut open the artery on his wrist again and again. The wounds on his arm were cut open one by one, and then healed again.
" The speed of blood infusion is too slow. I have to speed up. This dark underground ruin seems to be filled with unknown dangers at all times. It's better if we don't stay any longer.”After saying that, Zhao Gongming heard the sound of flesh being torn apart.
Celebi really couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do. He turned his head away.
Just as Zhao Gongming was deep in thought, the ground beneath his feet suddenly started to shake. The shaking got stronger and stronger. Dust and stone fragments kept falling from the stone wall above his head. He stood up. The golden patterns on his body were glowing faintly. He was in a state of alert. He stood by the pool, protecting Kaos, who was on the verge of collapse. He fell to the edge of the pool, his face as terrifying as a golden paper.
It was only then that Zhao Gongming realized that the dried up groove beside his feet was filled with Kaos 'blood. However, the pool was now filled with blood. It was being sucked into a vortex at the bottom of the pool. It was as if a hole had suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool. The blood started to spin faster and faster. The pool of blood was rapidly decreasing. When the last layer of blood disappeared from the vortex, two shining swords were stuck in the middle of the pool.
" These two swords are spatial points." Kaos supported his weak body and his voice sounded extremely weak.
" My Pristine Jade Bottle has enough water from the Divine Power Lake, but I can't do it now. My body is too weak…But I'm finally fine…"
Kaos's face was pale from the massive loss of blood, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
"You sis-con…"
Other than that, what else could he say?
After a while…
Kaos gently stepped into the blood pool. His black and purple boots were quickly stained red by the blood at the bottom of the pool. The air was thick and heavy with the sweet smell of blood.
"You guys go left." Kaos said.
" You... be careful..." Herrera said.
Kaos nodded and quickly gripped the hilt of his longsword. Zhao Gongming's vision blurred, and a few distorted black shadows suddenly blocked his vision.
When his vision returned, Kaos had already disappeared. On the empty stone platform, there was only another sword.
" He's still the same…Although his personality is completely different from before, he's always so rash when it comes to matters involving Artemis…"
"Give it to me and come back alive. You still owe me a lot of money…"
He turned around and said to Celebi and Herrera, who were standing far away,"
"Let's go! What are you doing?"
