Chapter 625 - 116: Typhon
The war sweeping across the Aegean Sea continues, and this time all the heroes of Mount Olympus have entered the fray.
But not long after, these arriving heroes were continuously suppressed by Calypso and others. These heroes might be strong among mortals, but to the true Divine Spirits...
They are nothing remarkable.
In Ephesus, a new pigsty appeared, filled with pigs of various sizes. Even after becoming a Divine Spirit, Calypso has not changed her liking for turning others into pigs.
"You advanced to Main God?"
Having escaped from the Netherworld, Hades looked at the returning Shen Fei with some envy. Is this what it means to be protected by both Chronos and Hecate?
In a short time, Shen Fei had accomplished in a life what many, even Divine Spirits, could not. He casually threw the Spear of Hades back to Hades.
"Poseidon is already dead. When Athena takes the throne of Divine King, I will hand over the Sea Divine Authority to you," Shen Fei said. "You left the Netherworld because Zeus has discovered that Chronos has escaped, right?"
"He sent Hermes to summon me to Mount Olympus for inquiry. I wanted to capture Hermes, but he ran too fast, couldn't catch him." Hades put away the Spear of Hades.
"It's fine," Shen Fei shook his head. Under his guidance, Rome constantly updated and iterated on its system, establishing the Roman Republic, where many Elders held real power, while he was the first Great Elder of Rome.
To rule a kingdom as a Divine Spirit is something unprecedented in the former Greece, where Divine Spirits looked down on Kings yet aimed to control the Mortal World.
"Since the cards are on the table, at that time let people include your statue in the Divine Hall. I want to see who else Zeus can utilize."
Long ago, Shen Fei knew that the power Divine Spirits could wield in the Mortal World largely depended on the extent of their worship in the Mortal World.
He had already started laying plans in the Mortal World, using the Great Salvation Skill to control the aristocrats of many cities, and the current outbreak was just the accumulation of past efforts.
...
Thrace.
The cities across the sea have all been incorporated into Roman territory, even the beliefs are being destroyed, so now the allied forces of the Gods are stationed in Thrace.
In one magnificent Divine Hall, Ares frowned deeply, "Now that mortal has mastered the Sea Divine Authority, our defense line can no longer stop him."
Hephaestus looked at this 'fellow traveler,' indeed he disliked this brother who cuckolded him, but now that it involved the safety of the Gods, he still said, "I've already had weapons being forged, they'll be ready for use soon."
"Good."
Once Hephaestus left, Ares, as the commander resisting Rome, rubbed his brow.
After hesitating for a while, he took out a box, resting a hand on it.
In the next moment.
He opened the box, crimson magical patterns lit up, flickering before turning into a humanoid cocoon of red-black clay.
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound emerged from within, as a white hand tore through the red-black embryonic covering, a graceful figure emerged, cascading dark purple hair flowed behind her like a waterfall.
"Hehe, you finally decided to let me out?"
With a laugh like the sound of silver bells, the alluring young woman stretched lazily, gazing up at the throne where Ares sat, her curling pink tongue lightly licking her moist cherry lips.
As their eyes met, the amber gaze immediately expanded in Ares's view until it occupied his whole heart.
His consciousness was dragged downwards, as if immersed in boundless Darkness.
As he surveyed, Ares saw a desolate world, rounds of boundaries flowing with red-black mud streams and dark hollow celestial bodies.
Towards the battered earth, pouring malice, all light was swallowed entirely, beneath an unending multitude of bones and remnants.
"Oh dear, Ares, are you rebelling? Why am I here with you?" A sweet voice sounded, and Ares came to his senses, looking at the alluring maiden with fear.
Calamity Witch, Pandora.
Ares looked at Pandora and spoke, "Now the Gods face a challenge from a Blasphemer, father handed you over to me, to help completely kill that Blasphemer if necessary."
Once the first human woman created by Hephaestus, blessed by the Gods to bring all disasters and Plagues to the Mortal World.
Even though she was without power, due to former blessings, coupled with the fear of the 'Pandora' name growing over the years...
She could affect calamities, strengthening even while sealed inside the magic box. Ares thought Pandora couldn't possibly influence him.
Yet he hadn't expected that facing Pandora's influence, even as a Main God, was difficult to avoid, explaining why father entrusted her to him.
"Oh dear, thinking of me now? I don't help…" Pandora said charmingly, suddenly her expression stiffened as she saw another figure.
"Zo... Zeus...!"
...
Peloponnese Peninsula, coastal wall.
Everyone knows war is imminent, besides Constantinople, this place is likely the frontline.
The nearby sea's water churning murky, mud swirling, huge pale foam piled layer upon layer, washing the shore's shallow beach.
The surging waves make soldiers atop the lookout tower grow increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly.
The majesty of Heaven and Earth roared mightily.
Rumble—!
Soldiers on the wall saw columns of wind and immense waves thousands of feet high crossing Heaven and Earth advancing in parallel along the shore, turning pale, furiously striking the warnings bell on the wall.
"Dong—!"
"Dong—!"
Yet, just as the bells were struck once.
The overwhelming waves had begun encroaching the entire city.
A soldier faced with the grand majesty of Heaven and Earth's power, their hands and feet chilled, their hearts stirred with helplessness and despair.
"In my name, calm the winds and waves!"
A shout echoed, a light streak rushed toward massive waves, the light constantly tearing magical power in the waves.
Then an explosive sound.
Directly severed the waves, at almost the same time, endless Flame suddenly appeared, flames shrouded around, continuously incinerating splashed seawater.
At this time, in the murky near-sea many shadows emerged, one by one sinister and terrifying creatures riding turbulent waves rushed the coastal wall, seeking to overcome this barrier.
"It's Beast Tide!"
Achilles on the wall looked at the sea beasts nearly filling the nearby sea, along with waves as tall as the coastal wall, swallowed his saliva.
Even as a hundred-fighting Divine Blood Hero, he feared being overwhelmed by the endless Beast Tide.
The numerous heroes who had once perished in the battle of Troy awakened by Zeus.
Demeter in the firmament frowned deeply, "Typhon!"
Chronos actually released that madman!
