Old days in the box

Chapter 499: The surrogate mother goes to war, the Primarch of the Ruler is about to take action!
The Atrium, the old capital of the Church.

In a mechanical fortress under the scorching sun, a supreme council of the Holy See is urgently being held.

Sharon and "Loyalty" from the Iron City war zone, Joseph from the Blood City, R'lyeh from the North Sea, and Yuan Wuyou who was also the governor of the two Asias, all gathered hastily under a divine order and rushed to the capital of the Holy See from all over the place.

Several solar hours ago, the chosen champion Tain, who was in charge of heading to Helheim, had returned with his army.

With the help of the old ones, Tyin successfully completed his mission and brought the goddess of death Hela back to the atrium. Now the goddess of death has been sent to the Blood City by the Mist Fleet to meet her father Loki after a thousand years, and the father and daughter are reunited.

However, not long after that, the great god noticed something was wrong.

Freya, who was supposed to go to the Boundless Sea to carry out another mission, has not responded yet.

On Zhou Xiao's screen, the originally highlighted image of the Chosen One was only reflected by a layer of hazy fog. It seemed that human figures were constantly interweaving in it, but he could not see the specific content. In addition, he called Freya's name but heard no response.

The Boundless Sea was beyond the visual range of the box. Just as he could not directly see the void of the universe on the screen, as a buffer zone bordering the void, the Boundless Sea could not be directly observed by the box either.

Although there are parts of reality integrated into the boundless sea, it can only allow Zhou Xiao to maintain a hazy image and communication function at most. Once Freya does not respond, it will be difficult to intervene from this side.

Freya, who holds the power over the "ocean", should not have encountered such a big problem. Could it be that some unpredictable changes occurred in the boundless sea?

Zhou Xiao soon had the answer in his mind, so he sent down divine guidance to summon all the governors of the six major war zones to discuss how to deal with this emergency.

"Freya has never responded again. I'm afraid the situation in the Boundless Sea is more complicated than I expected." From the arched dome of the Supreme Council, the voice from the past slowly fell and echoed in the huge conference hall.

"I suggest sending reinforcements to find out the situation. The Boundless Sea is also under the jurisdiction of the 'Ocean' authority. Logically speaking, there should be nothing there that can threaten Freya." Joseph raised his hand and said.

"Agree." Tyin, who had just returned from the star gate, also spoke briefly. Behind him were Nodens and Drake. Almost everyone was present except Hela and Loki who were reunited as father and daughter.

"The boundless sea borders the void, where there is only a shallow definition of the sea... Maybe it's not a threat, but maybe it's lost." A faint murmur came from the past.

"In any case, sending someone to pick them up is the best solution. I am willing to lead the team!" Lalyeh stood up from his seat worriedly.

“No, please let me go.” Yuan Wuyou also stood up immediately. “Among the three chosen gods, I am the only one who has not contributed. Now that the Holy See is in trouble, I should bear this responsibility.”

"I admire your loyalty, Miss Yuan Wuyou. But let me point out: you are still a human being, and you cannot breathe in the ocean." "Loyalty" responded calmly.

"Leave it to me. The undead don't need to breathe, right? I just fought against the gods in Helheim, so the things down there won't be any trouble for me." Tyne seemed too lazy to listen to their argument and raised his hand.

The enthusiasm of all parties made Zhou Xiao hesitant. After all, the Boundless Sea could not be directly observed by him like other realms. Once he entered, there was no guarantee what would happen.

"I will be in charge of this support mission." At this moment, Nodens, who had been silent in the back, suddenly stood up and said. He was nearly three meters tall and extremely strong, the tallest person in the room. When he stood up, no one could ignore this guy with huge wings.

"Nodens?" Zhou Xiao didn't expect that he would volunteer.

"I believe I have the ability to complete this task. Please, Father God, allow me to lead the army to the Boundless Sea." Nodens repeated his thoughts again.

"You are not the strongest warrior in this room, Nodens. Give me a reason why I should send you there." The Old One was silent for a moment, and instead of directly rejecting his idea, he asked.

"I am my mother's eldest son. There is nothing more important in this world than a son rescuing his mother." Nordens answered without even thinking.

This Primarch of the Rulers is indeed as straightforward as Freya.

In this room, most of the members are battle-hardened followers. Each of them has experienced wars of all sizes with the old times. Even R'lyeh has participated in at least one war between gods. Only Nodens is the Primarch of the Ruler who was born less than ten years ago and has no practical experience.

So when he stood up, everyone just admired his courage, and no one thought he was capable of this task.

"You are very responsible, but you still didn't answer my question." Jiu Ri said quietly.

"The art of war is never to send the strongest warriors, but to send the most suitable warriors. Mother was once one of the most powerful chosen ones in this room, but she is still in trouble now. This is enough to show that strength is not the only criterion."

Nodens straightened his back and spoke seriously to the dome of the parliament.

"The Boundless Sea is a territory bordering the void of the universe. Since the void has now entered the Age of Faith, we can reasonably conclude that the Boundless Sea has also been affected by the power of faith. This may be the reason why my mother disappeared."

"Go on."

"The power of faith is the combined will of all people. It can affect a person's mind, even a strong person. If you send others forward, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not encounter the same situation as my mother. But I won't."

There was a harshness in Nodens' eyes that did not belong to his age. He had started training with the army in the second year after he was born, and had to undergo the same tests and special training as ordinary divers. He never thought of himself as a prince who enjoyed the fruits of his labor without doing anything.

"I will not be affected by the power of faith. This is the biggest reason why you sent me. Besides, I can also breathe in the deep sea."

As a Primarch of the Rulers who possessed Freya's gene fragments, it was not surprising that Nodens possessed amphibious characteristics, but that was not the point.

The point is, the clear logical analysis and the tactical mind that calmly looked at all factors that he displayed were no less than anyone else present. Before this, everyone thought that the rulers were just a group of children with great potential, and no one thought that they could be entrusted with such an important task in such a short time.

"Well said, hahaha." Many members present were stunned, only Taiyin laughed and clapped loudly in his seat.
