Chapter 237 The truth about the ancient gods, Twilight of the Gods
The Bermuda Sea is a vast expanse, and under the clear sky, it is difficult to find traces of human habitation.
Although it is adjacent to Florida, due to its notorious reputation, ships and planes have disappeared, only the sea surface is gently swaying in the wind, and the waves are sparkling.
Suddenly, there was a strange roar from the bottom of the sea, getting closer and closer, and then, a huge transparent bubble rushed out of the sea with a "swish" like a whale jumping out of the water at the bottom of the sea. Come out!
In an instant, the water splashed, and the bubbles crossed the water unstoppably, but they continued to rise upwards without slowing down at all.
"Ahhhhhh——!"
In the bubble, Annabeth and the other demigod friends screamed loudly in fright.
After several days of hard work, under the whipping of Teddy's whip, Percy and his descendants of Poseidon, who possess the power of the sea, finally developed a tough-skinned product that can encompass everyone. Giant bubbles that can withstand deep water pressure.
Starting from the pool in the giant's lair, they sank all the way down, staying in fear for more than half an hour, fearing that the bubble would explode at any time.
But fortunately, when they sank to a certain depth, the water pressure began to gradually decrease. Then, driven by Lango, they finally broke through another layer of water and returned to the embrace of the Bermuda Sea.
Bang——
The bubbles in the air exploded with a "bang" not long after, and everyone began to fall down again.
But fortunately there were a few demigods in the team who could control the water flow. Before they fell into the water, the waves came up in time and caught them steadily.
Teddy patted the waves below him. Although it was just ordinary sea water, it felt like he had been enchanted. Sitting on it was as comfortable as lying on a water bed, and there was no chance of falling. Feel.
At this time, Luke saw that they had successfully left the island, and quickly took out his satellite phone and called someone to pick them up.
Among them were some prominent figures whose families had power all over Europe. It was just a matter of a few steps to dispatch a few helicopters to the nearby coast.
As soon as the coordinates were mentioned, Luke hung up the phone, then looked up at Rango who was standing in front of the wave. He crossed his arms, not knowing whether he was meditating or posing to look cool.
After hesitating, Luke mustered up the courage and walked over.
"Lango."
Lango turned his head and saw Luke's blond hair and firm eyes, and couldn't help but smile, "It won't be so long. Oh my god, you just wanted to thank me?”
"Uh hehe."
Luke smiled awkwardly, but quickly nodded seriously, "We have already discussed that we will donate a large amount of money to the New York Museum of Natural History. Moreover, From now on in Europe, if you have any inconvenience, you can come to us at any time."
Before he finished speaking, Luke saw Lango raise his hand, and he quickly closed his mouth , muttering in his heart whether he had said something wrong somewhere.
However, Lango just smiled and said in a relaxed and sincere tone: "Luke, to be honest, I admire you very much."
He looked at the man behind Luke The crowd pointed and continued: "As children of the gods, you did not indulge in vested interests. Instead, you dared to challenge the authority of gods at the cost of your future and lives, and even broke with the parents of the gods who did nothing. Tsk tsk ”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion in Lango's tone: "You are either so innocent and cute, or you are so brave and fearless."
Luke was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he smiled: "I'm just I want to seek justice for my unfortunate mother."
"You don't hesitate even if you face death?"
"That's right!"
Lange nodded slightly, rubbed the boy's hair, and said seriously: "Your grudges with the Pantheon have nothing to do with me, but after all, the old man Dionysus has lived for so many years, and your identity as a traitor has been exposed. Need to be more cautious.”
"I understand, but don't worry, there are far more people in the temple who are dissatisfied with the God of Heaven than just us. Dionysus wants to clean us up, and it is not as easy as he thinks."
"You just have to know. "
Lango nodded, patted Luke on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards Teddy.
Lango didn’t have much disgust with Luke, a group of young people who rebelled against the gods. If his guess is correct, this is probably the plot of a movie he has never seen.
However, the combat effectiveness of these little guys is indeed too poor, and it may be difficult for them to be his help in the future.
Therefore, he did not plan to have in-depth interactions with them, but simply planned to gain some benefits while establishing the image of a good big brother in their hearts.
He continued to walk towards Teddy. At this moment, everyone was lying lazily on the waves, waiting for the helicopter to arrive.
When passing by Annabeth, the girl deliberately turned sideways, struck a sexy pose, bit her lip and looked at him, as if teasing him.
While in the giant's lair, they had had many in-depth exchanges. It has to be said that the physical fitness of these descendants of the gods is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people. Annabeth can easily do many actions that Heather cannot complete.
But relatively speaking, she is also more dissatisfied than Heather.
Lango coughed lightly, and made a tacit gesture to Annabeth to meet again in the evening, and then sat down next to Teddy leisurely.
At this moment, Teddy's arm was tightly wrapped with venom, like a black python, extending tens of meters, hanging on the sparkling sea, pretending to be an old fisherman.
This kid is indeed quite talented. Lango remembers that in the movie, it took Eddie several months to gradually master the skills of symbiosis with Venom and become proficient in using his abilities.
But Teddy seems to be born just to wait for the venom to parasitize him, and he plays all kinds of fancy tricks.
"Man, it looks like you two are getting along well."
Lange looked at Teddy and Venom, who were having a good time, insulting each other with each other, and nodded with pleasure.
Maybe his ears will never be clean again, but no matter what, Teddy's strength has been strengthened to an epic level.
Having been parasitized by venom, he would probably be able to survive two attacks against the people of his motherland.
"Getting along well? Wardfa? What do you think? Rango?" Venom poked out his dark head from behind Teddy and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Compared to dealing with this dirty-minded guy I would rather parasitize a harmless lizard than a stupid bear!"
"Well, we do have a flying lizard at home," Rango couldn't help but remind him.
"Then I will parasitize a car!"
"There are also cars."
"."
Soon, a dozen transport helicopters were hovering over the sea, like Huge black bird.
Since Luke and the others were unable to return to the camp on the mysterious island, they decided to return to Europe first. One of the helicopters was specially prepared for Lango and the others so that they could return to the camp.
Lango nodded to the little demigods who were waving goodbye, and then turned his eyes to the sea outside the window. The sea surface at this moment was as calm as a mirror, which was completely different from the scene a few days ago where multiple deadly sharks and giant sea monsters were raging.
He believed that for a long time to come, there would be no more incidents of sea monsters attacking ships here.
Teddy also stared at the receding sea, feeling an inexplicable melancholy in his heart: "We should bring King Kong out, Rango. That guy really treats me as a friend. "
Hearing this, Lange looked at Teddy helplessly.
King Kong's huge size, even if Percy and the others tried their best, they couldn't blow such a huge bubble to accommodate him.
He shook his head and sighed: "Don't think about it, man. After everything settles down, we can go down to visit him often."
"How long will it take?" Teddy wondered. The ground continued to ask.
Lango did not answer directly, but raised his wrist to look at the time.
When the magic power of the legendary sea monster Charybdis was absorbed that day, the massive amount of magic power quickly filled up the energy required for the seventh summons.
In order to avoid waste, he stopped absorbing magic power in time, and waited until the venom was summoned before continuing to absorb the magic power stored in the sea monster's heart.
Moreover, this absorption once again pushed the energy required for the eighth summons by a quarter.
After defeating the Giant King on the island, he absorbed the gradually dissipating magic power from the Giant King's body.
At this time, there is still one-third of the progress required for the eighth summons.
The corners of Lange's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes passed through the sea and sky outside the window, his expression full of confidence.
“I promise you, man, that day is coming.”
————————
The mysterious island, on the edge of the demigod camp, is currently gathering hundreds of members of the camp.
Their faces may have scars or show fatigue. It is obvious that during the period without the protection of the laurel tree, the camp suffered frequent intrusions from outside monsters.
Therefore, when Lango and his party set foot on the island, under the guidance of the God of Wine, they gathered at the entrance of the camp with great anticipation, their eyes fixed on the huge laurel tree.
Everyone focused their attention on the roots of the laurel tree, and saw a woolen blanket shining with golden light gently covering it.
Immediately afterwards, a golden halo slowly spread from the wool blanket, gently wrapping the entire laurel tree.
At this moment, a miracle came quietly.
The laurel tree that was almost withered, with sparse branches and leaves, and bare, actually became dense and lush at a speed visible to the naked eye under the gaze of everyone! The green leaves grew rapidly, and the dry bark seemed to be given new life, glowing with healthy colors!
Buzz——
A colorful light suddenly bloomed from the top of the laurel tree, like a gorgeous barrier, gently covering the entire camp.
The laurel tree was really saved!
Witnessing this shocking miracle, the eyes of both the young demigods and the old God of Wine shone with incredible light.
But in the next second, after seeing that the laurel tree had been resurrected, Rango stopped wasting the magic power in it and directly put away the golden fleece and threw it into Yumi's magic book space again.
The hand that Dionysus stretched out paused slightly in the air, and then retracted it awkwardly.
Even as an Olympus god, he had never witnessed the power of divine objects such as the Golden Fleece, and his heart was inevitably filled with excitement and curiosity.
However, since he has promised Lango, after saving the laurel tree, the golden fleece will belong to him. As a god, he cannot break his promise.
"So."
Lango clapped his hands gently, glanced at the group of demigod teenagers opposite who had clear eyes that revealed a bit of stupidity, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. , shrugged and asked, "Are you going to just stand here, or do you want to hold a barbecue dinner to celebrate the fact that we went through all the hard work to bring back the Golden Fleece and revive the patron saint of your camp?"< br>
Hearing Lango's words, many demigods looked at each other, and then their faces burst into bright smiles. They let out bursts of cheers and cheers, then turned and ran happily back to the camp, obviously to celebrate the day's adventures and victories.
Not long after, at a long table in the camp.
Lango took out the bronze flask given to him by the God of Dionysus from his arms, poured it gently, and mixed the precious liquid into the wine glass in front of him.
In an instant, a mellow aroma of wine that has lasted for thousands of years filled the air. Just one sniff made people feel dizzy, as if they were already a little drunk.
Lango had to admit that he was extremely satisfied with this jug containing countless tons of thousand-year-old wine.
Nowadays, due to the amazing physical strength of his body, even a high concentration of alcohol can hardly make him feel tipsy, let alone drunk.
However, the magic wine in this jug, rich in magic power and accumulated over the years, gave him this long-lost feeling again.
Therefore, every time he drank, he would deliberately add some magic wine to enjoy the drunken pleasure.
Seeing this, the old Dionysus man opposite could not help but swallow his saliva. It wasn't that he was embarrassed to ask for a drink with a shy face, but because he had been cursed, and any fine wine in his mouth would become as tasteless as white water.
Because of this, this pot of fine wine that has been stored in the cellar for thousands of years has been preserved to this day.
Lange picked up the wine glass and took a few deep sips. He felt a force swirling and melting in his stomach, bringing an indescribable pleasure.
He let out a breath of alcohol, then picked up a skewer of barbecue, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction. In the past twenty years, in this land of Europe and America, barbecue was what he was most accustomed to eating.
"Brother Dionysus"
While chewing the meat in his mouth, Lange asked casually, "Have you ever heard of the ancient god Titan under the North American continent? "
"Huh?"
Bacchus was thinking about how to deal with Luke and others. After hearing Lango's words, he suddenly looked up at him, "How do you know? Well, that’s right, you are from a wooden house and you should know this.”
After muttering to himself, he frowned and slowly advised: "Lango, if you can trust me, leave the wooden house as soon as possible and join the force of a certain god. In less than a year, the suppressed people below on all continents will Monsters will break out of the ground and destroy the world. Only the territories of the gods can protect people like you."
"Oh?"
Lango. Hearing this, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the old man had already planned an escape route for him.
He put down his wine glass, looked at the God of Dionysus solemnly, and asked seriously: "In the past thousands of years, humans and these monsters have been living in peace, and they only need to complete specific sacrificial rituals. How do you conclude that they will all emerge from the ground in a year and destroy the world?"
The God of Wine was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "Rango, I didn't know you had it? I have not noticed that in the past few years, whether it is the gods of the West or the immortals and Buddhas of the East, those beings who have shown miracles have almost disappeared without a trace."
Lango's brows frowned slightly, and he had indeed noticed this for a long time.
A few years ago, both God and the gods of Egypt and Africa had brought miracles to the world, and the gods of Olympus had left many heirs in the world.
However, in the past few years, these gods seemed to have disappeared without a trace overnight.
The disappearance of God directly caused a large number of angels to descend to earth, and Murray, the mummy of Hotel Transylvania, even kidnapped several angels and tortured them in the room day and night.
Annabeth, Percy and others also lost their god father or mother one after another. If it were not for the power of Olympus flowing through them, they would almost doubt whether the gods really existed.
Dionysus tapped his fingers gently on the table. In an instant, an invisible barrier separated them from the noise of the outside world.
He said solemnly: "The Nordic protoss has a prophecy that has been passed down for countless years, called 'Twilight of the Gods.' And this sentence is not just for the Nordic protoss, but for all people who have ever inhabited the world. Gods who have passed by, including the God you know well, and even Zeus!"
"A few years ago, those gods who had a premonition that this disaster was inevitable had already fled the world. Otherwise, you. Why do you think I am the only true god left in the pantheon of gods responsible for guiding the descendants of gods?”
“Holdon, Holdon (etc.)”
Lango asked, pointing to the god of wine? He said, "In other words, you so-called gods don't even have the courage to resist, and the first thing you think of is running away?"
"How?" Dionysus asked, "Do you know who is suppressing people under the land of every continent?"
Dionysus' face was solemn, and there was even a hint of panic in his tone. : "Under North America, the ancient god your cabin is responsible for suppressing, do you know why he is called a Titan?"
"Because he is big?" Rango joked.
“.”
Seeing that the other party was still thinking about joking, Dionysus shook his head helplessly and continued to explain, “Because the full name of the ancient god is Uranus. The first god-king of Greece, the legendary Titan! ”
".Fake."
Lango was really surprised this time. He thought that the other party just knew some inside information, but he didn't expect that even the ancient god's background was so clear.
“There are more ancient gods imprisoned under Europe, including Set, the god of war and desert in ancient Egyptian mythology, and Nidhogg, the ultimate black dragon in Nordic mythology. In addition, there are There are many ancient gods that you may not know, and they have all caused huge disasters in their respective kingdoms of gods."
"That's right."
At this point, Dionysus suddenly thought of it. What, added: "Satan was once imprisoned underground in Mexico, but for some unknown reason, he escaped a year ago and is now preparing an army in hell. That kid Lucifer is quite smart. In order to avoid being retaliated by Satan in the future, he ignored the affairs of hell hundreds of years in advance and directly opened a bar in the human world to enjoy life.”
"."
Lango was silent for a long time. The information he received today greatly exceeded his expectations.
He lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, shrugged and said, "So, these guys who may cause Ragnarok are actually characters from various myths and legends?"
"That's right." Dionysus nodded slightly, with a heavy tone, "During the thousands of years of being imprisoned, these prisoners have been absorbing the malice and evil thoughts of people all over the world, and their strength has become stronger It has reached the point where it is difficult to control. Once they are born, they will definitely take revenge on the gods. Even beings like Zeus and God have no confidence that they can survive this catastrophe, let alone ordinary people on earth. Uranus can destroy the entire city with just a stomp."
Lango asked puzzledly: "Then why did you invite me to join the forces of you gods?" He looked at it suspiciously. Looking at the God of Dionysus, "You will be the first to die when the time comes. You old man, you are not still thinking of dragging me in as a thug, are you?"
"Well" Dionysus shook his head in embarrassment and explained: "That's not true. Although it is the twilight of the gods, it does not mean that the other party will kill them all. After they reoccupy their respective divine domains, they also need someone to serve them. So. You understand.”
“I don’t understand.”
Lango glared at the Dionysian, thinking that the old man was going to surrender and go to Olympus. Serve new gods.
He exhaled the smoke speechlessly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Happily, this world is indeed different from the world view of "The Cabin in the Woods" that he had guessed before. The so-called ancient gods are actually ancient gods, and they will not destroy the earth or kill humans.
The worrying thing is that this seems to be no different from before. After all, who knows who the ordinary people who will survive will be? When these guys who have been imprisoned for thousands of years come out, they will most likely destroy several cities or even countries to vent their anger.
Although Lango doesn't care whether the other party destroys the entire North American continent, the problem is that he still has many friends living on this land. Who knows, will they be unlucky enough to be accidentally killed like this?
Furthermore, according to Dionysus, according to the prophecy, all these guys will escape from under the imprisoned continental plate in one year.
This also shows that the conditions put forward by the Ancient God and Quagmati in the wooden house were purely to fool them.
Moreover, decades ago, Lango’s mother Louise did not hesitate to use her body as a container to give birth to the ancient god’s child in order to seek peace in the future, but she was also fooled by the ancient god!
This bastard wouldn't be able to get out at all!
Mom Fuck!
Lango angrily extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, this damn guy dared to tease him and his mother like this.
Seeing Lango's livid face, Dionysus could not help but cautiously persuade him: "Lango, I don't know what you are going to do, but I hope you won't be too impulsive."
"I Knowing this news may be difficult for you to accept, but for ordinary people, you have no way out. You see, even Zeus and the others don't know which corner of the universe they have escaped to. You really might as well come back with us. Mount Olympus. With your strength, maybe Uranus can grant you the position of Lord God after he regains control of the Divine Realm.”
Lange smiled disdainfully after hearing this, "You want to know what I'm going to do, don't you?"
He leaned forward, approached the God of Wine, stared into the other person's eyes with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I will never do it." I won’t be like those cowardly guys in Zeus who only know how to run away.”
“I will catch up with these damn guys before they come out, find them, and then destroy them!”
