Volume 20, Chapter 73: Zeus, Who Has Suffered Internal Injuries
Aphrodite, did you hear what they said about destroying that device? "Zeus asked eagerly. [ ]
"No." Aphrodite looked at Zeus and replied: "I just heard that they are waiting for someone to go in and destroy that thing, and then there is no need to go into the water. I guess they should send someone to infiltrate first. Of course it may be The other party has bribed one of us who is qualified to enter there to destroy the machine in advance."
Zeus frowned when he heard this and said: "This possibility should not be high. There is indeed a space force field reinforcement device in the divine power core storage place, but the space force field reinforcement device is not placed in the hall, but there is It is an independent room, and its own guards are not much less than the guards of our divine power core. So even if the other party bribes our people to enter there, it is impossible to come into contact with the space force field reinforcement device. Besides, we, the Olympus Protoss Not everyone here is qualified to enter the core storage place of divine power."
Aphrodite thought for a moment after hearing Zeus's words, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "What if it's the Twelve Star Gods?"
"Twelve Star Gods?"
Zeus was in a daze about the name, but Aphrodite had already continued: "When I first came back, I reported to you that the Twelve Star Gods might join the Chaos and Order God Clan, but you didn't give a direct reply at the time. Me. If they have the qualifications to enter the storage of the divine power core and get close to the space force field reinforcement device, with their strength, even if they do not have the original permission to access the space force field reinforcement device, it should not be difficult to force their way in."
Zeus, who was not too nervous at first, could no longer calm down after listening to Aphrodite's words. He stood up from his position, and then began to circle back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, while Aphrodite watched him walking around without saying a word.
About ten minutes later. Zeus suddenly stopped circling, and then said: "Aphrodite, I will give you a task now."
"Please give me the instructions from the God King."
"I want you to call the Twelve Star Gods to me right away."
Aphrodite nodded and asked, "That's it? Is there anything else?"
Zeus nodded. "This matter must be done as soon as possible."
"I understand, I will act immediately."
After receiving the official order from Zeus, Aphrodite quickly left Mount Olympus. After she left, Zeus called three more gods who were all hidden in golden robes.
"God King." As soon as the three gods appeared next to Zeus, the one in front reported.
Zeus directly ordered: "Follow Aphrodite. On the one hand, you will monitor her actions. On the other hand, you will also protect her. If the Twelve Star Gods really do something inappropriate, your mission is to help Aphrodite immediately kills or captures the twelve star gods, and you will make your own arrangements based on the actual situation."
After hearing the order, the three people immediately bowed their heads and saluted, then turned around and disappeared directly into the office hall.
When these people chased Aphrodite away, I had already arrived at Hephaestus' side. Since I've been away for a long time. Therefore, Hephaestus has completed various materials and some processes that do not require the use of gold thread flowers in advance. After I brought the Golden Thread Flower back, Hephaestus simply processed it and made a new set of equipment.
Since the artifact suit created by Hephaestus has not yet been worn on a human body, its appearance looks like a piece of armor turned out of a fire, and the whole thing is as black as a piece of charcoal.
Because it wasn't my equipment, I didn't bother to care whether its properties were good or bad. I just handed the item to Hephaestus and left first.
When I came out of Mount Olympus, I noticed the code Aphrodite gave me. Then I took the opportunity to turn on the crystal communicator, so I basically heard the conversation between Zeus and her.
Now Aphrodite is going to find the Twelve Star Gods. Regardless of whether the other party sincerely surrenders to Zeus, there may be a conflict with Aphrodite. I don’t want to lose a powerful god like Aphrodite, so if the Twelve Star Gods truly surrender, I will stop them from attacking Aphrodite and explain everyone’s identities. If they are pretending to surrender and really follow Zeus, then because Aphrodite instigates the relationship between them and Zeus this time, they are likely to really attack Aphrodite. And what I have to do is to stop their actions and protect Aphrodite from leaving. Of course, whether you want to expose your identity depends on the situation.
Although it took a little time to go to Hephaestus to deliver the golden flowers, Aphrodite also inherited the slow speed of the Olympus protoss. After I came out from Hephaestus, she left. The residence of the Twelve Star Gods is still nearly a third of the way away. At the speed of a flying bird, Aphrodite basically can't go far before we catch up, and because there is a crystal communicator to help guide the direction. Even if I want to find a way out, it's impossible. However, just as I was chasing Aphrodite towards the Twelve Star Gods and already discovered Aphrodite's location, I suddenly slowed down and landed in the jungle.
Because Aphrodite is currently performing a spy mission, I cannot meet her rashly. That's why I didn't move closer to her immediately after seeing her. Instead, I checked the surrounding environment to prevent anyone from seeing us meet. However, what I didn't expect was that this search actually found three big fish.
After discovering these three guys, I immediately lowered my height and fell into the jungle. After collecting the flying bird, he walked around behind the three people, then hung at the end of their team to carefully observe their actions. After continuing to track for a while, I released a few ghost bugs and darts to help me monitor the target, while I myself slightly distanced myself.
I turned on the communicator and quickly connected to Aphrodite's signal, and then I said directly: "Keep your status now, don't look back, listen to me. If you understand, answer me in a low voice."
"clear."
"Okay, remember don't look back and don't pause. I'm about six hundred meters behind you, and there are three Olympus protoss between us."
"What?" Aphrodite was obviously quite shocked by the news. Fortunately, because of my reminder, she was surprised, but her expression and movements hardly changed. "When did they start following me?" Aphrodite suddenly asked after calming down a little.
"I don't know." I answered truthfully: "I saw them following you when I came down, but it seems that they have no intention of attacking. At least for the time being, their purpose is just to follow."
"Does that mean they may have been following me for a long time?"
"That's right. But looking at their actions, these people seem to be very cautious."
Aphrodite heard what I said and immediately asked: "What should I do now? Keep pretending like I don't know what to do, or what should I do?"
I thought for a while and asked, "How far are we from the residence of the Twelve Star Gods?"
"At the current speed, it will take at most ten minutes to see the zodiac signs where they live."
"In that case. Let's give it a try."
"try?"
"Yes. I will point out their location to you, and you will suddenly turn around and attack them. Don't worry about hurting them. Use your ultimate move as soon as you get up, then rush over to engage them in close combat and ask them about the purpose of their behavior. If they really If they are hostile to you, they will inevitably resist violently. They may even attack you directly in the hope of killing you. And if their mission is not to harm you, they will definitely explain it to you. No matter what their purpose is, at least we will know their purpose later. Intention."
Aphrodite thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Get ready, I'm going to start."
Further ahead is the sphere of influence of the twelve constellations of the zodiac. Their subordinates of the twelve star gods are old and young, and what if the three guys following behind are planning to join forces with the twelve star gods to kill Aphrodite? Yes, then even if I rescue Aphrodite, Aphrodite's identity will be completely exposed. so. If you want to take action, you have to do it early.
Although the three cloaked guys were dressed similarly to those necromancers, the hoods of the cloaks completely blocked their faces, making it impossible for others to see their appearance and equipment clearly. However, the cloaks on these three guys are pure gold. It seems that the things of the Olympus Protoss have three colors in total, gold, white, and silver. Apart from these three colors, it is rare to see the fourth color. Of course, that’s not to say there are absolutely none, but they are rare.
The golden cloaks of these three guys may cover them tightly. But with this color, thinking about the location is basically a dream. Unless you happen to be in a gold mountain, or standing in a treasure house filled with gold coins, a cloak of this color really offers no concealment. But one thing makes me wonder. Although these three guys are wearing golden cloaks, Aphrodite has not noticed them until now. Is this because Aphrodite is less alert or something else, I have no idea. But with my instructions, she won't get it wrong.
Aphrodite, who was walking well, suddenly turned her head without warning, then raised her hand and threw out a red ball of light. The light ball flew in front of a cloaked man almost in the blink of an eye, and then exploded with a bang less than one meter away from him. But at the moment of explosion. A screen of blue electric light seemed to flash on the guy, and then the guy was blown away.
Because it was calculated mentally and unintentionally, and the movement was too sudden, Aphrodite used a large skill again, so this move was definitely quite powerful. After the guy was blasted out just now, he broke two trees in one breath before he stopped. The guy standing closer to him also had a layer of ripples on his body, and then a faint blue light curtain gradually appeared on his body. There was a flash on this guy. There seemed to be two cracks on the surface of the light curtain, but they quickly shrank and healed.
The moment I saw the light curtain, I finally understood why Aphrodite was followed all the way by three guys wearing such shabby clothes without realizing it. It turned out that they had a special protective shield to isolate the induction. However, it seems that this thing is ineffective for me, and I don’t know the specific reason.
In short, no matter what the reason was, after being blown away, the guy who fell to the ground finally came into Aphrodite's sight. Originally, she was also wondering why she didn't feel anyone behind her, but she believed that I wouldn't joke with her at this time, so she finally followed my instructions and launched a magic attack to a completely deserted location, and the result was really... A person exploded out of the void. And there were two small holes in the space next to it, like broken glass. I could see someone behind me through the hole, but I still didn't see the third person I mentioned.
Although the third person's position was not seen, this did not prevent Aphrodite from pursuing the first target. The invisibility shield around the guy who had just been blown away was slowly being repaired, but the guy with two holes had disappeared from her sight again.
Although she knew there were two enemies around her and could not see their positions at all, Aphrodite didn't care at all, because she knew I could see it, and that was enough.
Because only one target can be seen. So Aphrodite didn't have to choose at all and rushed towards the guy. Moreover, the guy was injured now and was still struggling on the ground. It was estimated that he would not be able to get up quickly in a short period of time, so it was the best choice to start.
While Aphrodite rushed towards the injured guy. I was observing the actions of the other two guys. After all, Aphrodite would have absolutely no problem dealing with an injured enemy. What really needed attention was the other two guys. Moreover, I also really want to judge the purpose of the two people from their actions.
Under normal circumstances, if the mission of these two people is not to attack Aphrodite, then they will probably stop at this time. And if they resist without saying a word, it means that even if they are not trying to kill Aphrodite, Aphrodite is definitely not with her. And if that's the case. Then I don't mind killing them. Anyway, Aphrodite is on a mission now. Even if these three guys are really sent by Zeus, Aphrodite, who is completely unaware, can still complain first, kill these three guys and then go back and report to Zeus. Someone attacked her. When the time comes, no matter how angry Zeus is, he can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.
Now that there is a sure way to cover up this matter, I am not in a hurry. I am just waiting to see how these people react.
It turned out that these three guys made very wrong decisions. After they saw Aphrodite pounce on their companions, they did not stop Aphrodite to explain the situation to her, but rushed directly towards her back. And the guy on the ground quickly jumped up from the ground and took out his weapon.
As soon as Aphrodite saw this posture, she knew that she was not the same person. She directly turned the magic power to the maximum and transferred it to her left hand. Then the long sword in her right hand suddenly collided with the opponent's weapon. Taking advantage of the opponent thinking that she was going to fight with When he was exerting his strength, he suddenly let go, lowered his head to avoid the opponent's sweeping weapon, and then pressed his left hand on the opponent's stomach. With a bang, the guy flew out again, and flew directly into the depths of the jungle.
I saw my companion being blown away again. The remaining two people immediately took out their weapons and chased Aphrodite quickly. However, while the two were running quickly, one of them suddenly stopped as if being hit by something, and his When his companion hurriedly turned around, he only saw this guy hunching forward in a strange posture. Three transparent holes appeared on his stomach, and blood was flowing out from his front and back. However, the blood droplets did not fall directly to the ground, but flowed in the air for a while before suddenly returning to natural laws and falling to the ground.
Since these three people can be sent by Zeus to perform tasks, they are certainly not idiots. Looking at the flow of blood, a fool also knows that someone is invisible and gave his companion a moment. The reason why the blood seems to be drifting in the air is actually because It's flowing along the opponent's weapon, but because the opponent is completely invisible, it can't be seen.
These three guys have special invisibility equipment themselves, and now they are fooled by someone else's invisibility. This is quite a thrill.
Just when the uninjured guy turned around and was about to rush over, a small current suddenly flowed in front of the stopped guy, and as the current flowed, a figure slowly emerged.
"Purple sun?"
I had just left Mount Olympus less than half an hour ago. Even if the other party's memory was poor, they would not be able to forget me so quickly. Therefore, when my figure emerged, the other party immediately recognized me. identity.
The fact that I fought against so many Olympus protoss alone on Mount Olympus has already demonstrated my extraordinary fighting ability. Although the guy in front of me believes in his strength, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can be like me. Humans could withstand the combined attacks of so many Olympus protoss. Especially the last moment when he received Zeus' big move, it was definitely not something that could be done by some vain thing. That is the embodiment of true strength and the confrontation of basic attributes. If you don't have that hardware attribute, even if your fighting skills are at their peak, you will never be able to take Zeus' ultimate move.
Precisely because he knew my strength, the guy in front of me never thought of fighting me. He didn't know who attacked his companion before, so he rushed up and wanted to attack me. But after he saw my true face and recognized who I was, this guy immediately turned around and started running away without thinking. . It's a pity that it's obviously a little late for him to react now.
The guy just turned around and found that there was a beautiful face in front of him that made you just want to look at her and not want to do anything else. Moreover, the other person's eyes were shining with dazzling eyes and you just wanted to keep staring. Look at the beautiful light. This was the guy's last consciousness, and then his world ended.
He patted the stone statue in front of him with a crazy expression. Yeyue twisted her waist and came around me, and then asked: "Does Aphrodite need my help?"
I closed my eyes and contacted the darts I had released before, and then nodded. Yeyue immediately turned around and swam out without waiting for me to open my eyes. Although there is no tui, in terms of speed, Yeyue's speed is actually relatively fast among all my magic pets. In addition to special agility systems such as flying and darts, Yeyue's speed can definitely be ranked among the top three among the demon pets that actually walk on the ground.
Yeyue disappeared into the dense forest in almost the blink of an eye, but I didn't catch up. Because I know my help is no longer needed.
I killed two of the three protoss who were following me, and Aphrodite took advantage of the remaining one from the beginning, and was suppressed and beaten all the time. I just saw through the eyes of the dart that although Aphrodite still had the upper hand, it was very difficult to suppress the guy, so I asked Yeyue to go over and help. With Yeyue's strength, two against one, the battle can be resolved quickly.
In fact the battle was over quicker than I thought. I don't know why, but the gods of the Olympus pantheon seem to have no resistance to Ye Yue's petrified pupil. The suppression effect is surprisingly good. It is said that Yeyue's ability works based on the strength comparison between the two parties. Although beings weaker than her can be 100% petrified, if they encounter those stronger than her, they can only be partially petrified. Moreover, even if he is weaker than her, if he is not much weaker, the petrification process will not be that fast. Instead, it will slowly enter the petrified state. However, it only took less than three seconds for the Olympus protoss who had just been turned into a stone statue from the moment he was targeted by Ye Yue until he was completely turned into a stone statue. This speed is a bit too fast. Generally, it takes about two seconds to petrify a big tree Yeyue, and it takes about the same amount of time to petrify a free NPC in the city. The average player is targeted by the Petrifying Eye. The time to petrify the whole body is usually between four and five seconds. Those who can do it within three seconds are usually low-level players who are more than a thousand levels lower than me, and their current level is not even one thousand.
Although there are some weak and strong among the Olympus Protoss, how could those sent out to perform secret missions be trash? But the other party didn't even last three seconds before being completely petrified. What kind of situation is this? Nemesis? Natural enemy? Could it be that the weakness of the Olympus Protoss is that they are not resistant to petrification?
Although I thought it was strange, this matter can't be achieved just by thinking about it, so I didn't think too much about it in the end.
With Yeyue joining in, Aphrodite quickly killed the last enemy and then returned to me. Seeing a corpse and another stone statue at my feet, Aphrodite asked directly: "What should I do now? Should I continue to find the Twelve Star Gods, or...?"
I just thought about it for a moment and then said: "Don't go to the Zodiac yet. Go back to Zeus and tell him that you killed this man, and you will do this, this, and that..."
After listening to my request, Aphrodite nodded to express her understanding, then gave up the mission and returned to Mount Olympus.
Of course Zeus knew the speed of the Olympus Protoss, so he was stunned for a moment when he saw Aphrodite coming back so quickly. Then he discovered that there seemed to be traces of battle on Aphrodite's body. Zeus wasn't stupid either. When he saw this situation, he roughly guessed what happened, and then his heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, Aphrodite soon reported to Zeus the news he least wanted to hear.
"King God, when I was approaching the Zodiac, I suddenly found someone following me, so I fought with them."
When Zeus heard the news, he immediately asked: "Where are the... people who are following you?" Zeus almost shouted, "Where are the three people who are following you?" But fortunately, he didn't react slowly, and he choked back the words as soon as they came to his lips.
When Aphrodite heard Zeus's sudden interruption, she knew that he had almost spilled the beans, but she still pretended not to know anything and said: "There were three people who attacked me. Because I discovered them in advance, I deliberately I led them to a terrain that was favorable to me and suddenly launched a counterattack. Because the three of them were unprepared, two of them were wounded on the spot. The remaining one wanted to attack me, but I finally killed him."
"What about the two you wounded?"
"Kill them." Aphrodite pretended not to know and asked, "Shouldn't I kill them?"
"Of course you shouldn't...should kill them." After Zeus yelled four words angrily, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, but he immediately came back. "How can you kill them? At least leave one alive to find out who appointed them? What if they are people from the Twelve Star Gods? What do you think you will do? Now there is no proof, even if they really did it, You can’t even find an excuse to deal with them!”
When Aphrodite heard this, she immediately put on a serious expression and handed out three badges, and said at the same time: "I can conclude that they are not from the Twelve Star Gods, because they all wear your badges. . They are your direct Saint Seiyas, and there are not many people who have the opportunity to approach and bribe your Saint Seiyas. These include Queen Hera and some other high-level protoss who are more energetic around you. There must be a traitor hidden among them. . The news I originally heard from the Frost Rose Alliance was that the Twelve Star Gods intended to defect, but now it seems that they are not the only ones with problems within us."
Zeus wanted to grab Aphrodite's neck and yell: "What a traitor? Those three people were the ones I sent to follow you! You actually killed the three saints I valued most, You little bastard who refuses to submit to me, there is a beautiful woman in there that I just got my hands on! Alas... I haven't even had time to break through that last line of defense!"
Of course, the above are all Zeus's thoughts, and it would be impossible to say them out even if he were killed. So, the reality is this. Zeus put on a deep expression and said: "I will check this issue myself, so you don't have to worry about it. The saints who can come into contact with me are all high-level beings of our Olympus Protoss. Anyone who touches them will be safe." It's a big deal, and you can't doubt anyone without conclusive evidence. Also, keep your mouth shut about this matter, and don't mention it to anyone."
Although Aphrodite wanted to laugh, she still nodded holding her breath and said she would do it, and then continued to ask: "Then what about the Twelve Star Gods? Do I still have to call them here?"! .
