Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 138 Zeus, I am willing to bear it

Surren stepped into Tartarus, the hell.

He had a good relationship with Hades and his wife, and could freely enter and exit Hades' back garden. It was not difficult for him to ask Persephone to help open the gate of Hell.

Interestingly, the entrance to this hell, Tartarus, is right below the palace of Hades and can be entered from the Hades' back garden.

As soon as Suerlun stepped into the underworld, he immediately noticed the difference here.

"Is even the sacred fire going to go out?" Suren stared at the flame in his hand. The intermittent flame and the almost imperceptible Olympus sacred fire made him realize the danger of this place.

The Age of the Gods, as the name suggests, is an era when gods are active.

Before the white giant god Cefalu landed on the earth, in ancient times, all parts of the earth were ruled by gods of different pantheons, and humans lived under the protection of gods.

The most special thing about the Age of Gods is that the heaven and earth are ruled by the power of the gods. What later generations of humans regard as incredible "magic" can actually be achieved by the gods of this era.

This was the first time that Suerlun was unable to sense the power of God and the tentacles of Olympus, which meant that...

"This place can threaten Greece and the gods."

Surlun said to himself: "Could it be Guigantes? The spirit of the white giant..."

If the bodies of the twelve main gods were still there, the power of the Mechanical God could wipe out all of Guigantes, but after being re-incarnated, the Twelve Olympians no longer have such power.

Suerlun pursed his lips. He thought of a lot at this moment. He connected his past experiences and the information he knew together, and many bad thoughts vaguely emerged in his mind.

"Zeus, is this what you wanted me to see?"

Suren continued to move forward. In hell, there were countless villains and monsters imprisoned, but these creatures could not survive in hell.

Because there are truly terrifying monsters imprisoned in hell, they are the monsters that fight against the twelve main gods, and all creatures will be swallowed by the giants called "Guigantes".

The unintelligent Guigantes had already gotten used to the snacks thrown to them from the underworld from time to time, and they soon discovered Surlun.

The power of the gods was suppressed to almost nothing here, whether it was the ever-burning sacred fire of Hestia, the undefeated light of Apollo, or even the blessings of Artemis, Hera, Poseidon, Zeus and other gods, none of them could work here.

"But! Since the power of God cannot take effect, does that mean that the power of those monsters has also been suppressed to the extreme?"

Although he suddenly lost most of God's blessings and power, Suerlun was not panicked.

He is no longer the young boy he was before.

Since God's blessing has expired, he will rely on his honed strength and force to defeat the enemy. As long as his heart is still beating, he can still draw the bow and shoot arrows, and swing his fists. How does he know that he is no match for Guigantes?

Surlun stretched out the Golden Supreme Sky, and his terrifying muscle strength pulled the giant bow to its full extent and in a circle. The light gradually gathered and condensed into a huge arrow of light.

"Without Apollo's blessing, the speed of condensing the arrow of light has slowed down a lot. It seems that I need to change my habits and tactics."

Suren noticed this instantly.

In the past, when he was in Greece, the reason why he could shoot the bow without any gap was because of Apollo's blessing, which allowed him to use his brilliance. But now, Apollo's light has also been swallowed up by this hell, and only Suren's own strength and brilliance are left.

The first giant appeared, stretching out its huge hands and grabbing Surlun, apparently wanting to swallow him in one bite.

Just as Suerlun was about to shoot the arrow, a graceful female voice came to his ears: "Powerful hero, please stop for a moment."

"Guigantes cannot be killed for now, at least not like you did!"

Surlun's body was faster than his brain. The arrow had already been shot out, but he did not even bother to figure out whether the sudden female voice was correct or not. Instead, he stretched out his hand, which was faster than light, and grabbed the arrow of light.

At the critical moment of life and death, the most taboo is to be unclear.

After experiencing so many adventures, Suerlun has long realized the importance of teammates and intelligence. He has always been open to advice. Although he doesn't know who this female voice is, in such a ghost place, she must be a friendly force.

Even if he made a mistake in judgment, it didn't matter. At most he could just shoot another arrow.

"Golden King, please do not resist my magic. I will teleport you to me."

The next moment, there was a suction force on Surlun's body. Surlun did not resist and let the magic carry him. Guigantes did not know that he had walked back from the gates of hell. He looked at the empty place blankly, roared twice meaninglessly and left.

When Suerlun came to his senses, he found himself on a small island. There was only one wooden house on this small island. A beautiful and elegant girl was standing in front of the house.

Suerlun looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

"The King of Gold, the ruler of both humans and gods." Hecate was very respectful: "I am Hecate, the goddess of the underworld, and I can barely be considered the administrator of Tartarus, the underworld!"

"Praise be to you, goddess Hecate." Suren paid his respects, but still asked, "Why did you stop me?"

"I'm not stopping you, I'm just suggesting it. Fortunately, you chose to believe it."

Hecate breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Giant Guigantes, they were once a terrible monster that swept across the gods. Although that monster was killed by the holy sword user from another world, these things were left behind."

"If you had killed that Guigantes just now, the remaining Guigantes would have become stronger and immune to the way you killed them, until the last Guigantes would have reappeared as the white giant that swept across the Age of Gods, and would have been immune to countless powers and martial arts."

"Just based on this?" Suerlun frowned and said, "I think that even if the giants are so difficult, it shouldn't be a big deal for the gods, right?"

With Zeus's power, it would not be difficult to kill all the Gegantes in an instant.

Even if it's like the rules are weird, and one person just can't kill two Guigantes, then why not just control the Guigantes and find enough gods to act together?
If the gods could capture Gigantes and throw him into hell, there's no reason they couldn't do the same thing, right?
"I am also confused by this." Hecate showed a hesitant expression, but still said: "But this is the will of Zeus, the king of gods. He is the wisest among the gods. It was he who stopped the gods from killing Guigantes in the battle of the giants."

"Zeus subdued all the Gegantes and built the underworld Tartarus to imprison them."

After the Holy Swordsman killed the White Giant, the fragments of Sefalu were scattered all over the earth, and his head fell on the East Asian prairie and became the famous Wolf Mountain.

This is why there are legends about fighting giants in myths all over the world.

Greece is the place with the most fragments of Cefalu, and the giants here are also extremely powerful.

"King Surren, what do you think of the strength of these Guigantes?"

Hecate suddenly asked: "How much strength do you think is needed to kill them?"

"Weaker than Hercules, but not by much." Suerlun pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "Even if any one of them goes to Greece, it can sweep away all the humans in Greece."

"As for me, I used less than 50% of my strength just now. I can kill it, but after killing one, I can't do anything after what you said."

"Humans are different." Hecate explained: "If you kill Guigantes without using the power and authority of God, it will not trigger Guigantes' characteristics, and you can still do it."

"I stopped you because you used the Golden Supreme Heaven, the divine weapon forged by the God of Fire Hephaestus."

"Is there such a saying?" Suer Lun took down the Golden Supreme Sky and put it aside, saying, "There is no time to lose. Send me over and I will test your saying."

The most convenient and effective way to verify the other party's hypothesis is to try it yourself.

"You trust me so much?" Hecate asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I have deceived you, or that what I said is not true at all and I have been deceived too?"

"No one can deceive me, Suerlun." Suerlun shrugged and said, "As for whether you are right or not, I will know if I try it."

Someone has to be the first to verify the gods' conjecture, right?

To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country.

Since Suren is now the emperor of Greece, his will rules every inch of Greece and extends to every person.

Then he has the obligation to stand in front of everyone, to bear the disaster of the country, and to protect all the people.

Power and responsibility should be unified, just like the Twelve Golden Covenants he made with the gods, people respect gods, and gods love people.

Now is the time!
Hecate couldn't persuade Suren, she sighed: "As expected of you, King of Gold, Suren, you are the greatest hero I have ever seen."

"It doesn't matter how great it is, just get to work!"

Hecate's magical attainments are still very strong. The goddess of magic, the goddess of the underworld, and the guardian of hell, Hecate is a great goddess respected even by Zeus. Her origin is very likely that she was tired of the endless wars between gods in the Mediterranean and came to Greece to ask Zeus for protection.

Hecate has a three-phase face, representing that she once possessed a trinity of divinity. Such divinity is often possessed by goddesses who dominate the sky, earth, and the underworld.

In the whole of Greece, only Hera, who shared divine power equally with Zeus, was called the Triple Goddess.

Now is not the time to explore Hecate's divinity. The goddess of the underworld waved her staff and teleported Suren back to hell again. Suren unscrupulously exuded his powerful aura, announcing his arrival to the entire hell.

Surlun's spirit and momentum had long been strong enough to influence reality by using the virtual to achieve the real. His move was equivalent to a slap in the face of all the Guigantes.

This was a very good and useful way of inviting a fight, and it quickly attracted the first Gigantes.

"I can't use God's power and blessing..." Suerlun thought to himself, "It seems that I can only kill it with 'Pankrasin'."

Pankrasis means "all strength". Pankrasis is the highest and strongest fighting skill in ancient Greece. The heroic teacher Chiron is a master of this skill. Almost every disciple has learned Pankrasis from Chiron.

Because everyone's style and personal abilities are different, everyone uses Pankrasin differently.

For example, Hercules is a super-strong type. His Pankrasin technique is not very strong, but it is very scary and people dare not take it head-on.

Surlun's Pankrasin, on the other hand, is "changeable", changing at will, whether it is strength or skill, it will change according to the situation, with Surlun's strong combat experience, the moves are completely random, even Surlun himself doesn't know what tactics to use in battle.

However, it is very strong, because after Suerlun enters the combat state, he no longer considers other factors, but puts all his mental and computing power into the battle, which makes his "change" even more unpredictable.

Due to the huge difference in body size, Surlun's attacks were mostly on his lower body, but he quickly solved this problem. He broke Guigantes in half, and then destroyed his kidneys, stomach, lungs, and heart in an instant.

If Gigantes also had these organs.

In fact, Geogantes actually had organs.

Just like Attila looked no different from a human, Gigantes looked no different from a human except that he was a little bigger.

I really don’t know what kind of creature Sefalu is, and why her spirit is in this form?
Unfortunately, the destruction of its internal organs did not kill Guigantes, and Suren had no choice but to learn from Hercules and strangle it to death with his bare hands after destroying its ability to move.

“This is the trick that worked in the end.”

Suerlun shook his aching arms, looked at the second Guigantes, and said to himself: "Now is the time to verify it."

Surlun punched it, and the Guigantes indeed became much stronger, but it was not immune to Surlun's punch. As long as he put in some effort, it would not be difficult to kill another one.

Even before the Guigantes become so strong that even Surlun cannot defeat them, maybe they will be killed by Surlun first?
After getting the answer he wanted, Suren called out directly: "Hekate, take me back."

The next moment, he was back on the island.

Sure enough, Hecate has been keeping an eye on this place.

Suren fell into deep thought, more thoughts and more doubts emerged in his mind.

Seeing Surren return, Hecate asked in confusion: "King Surren, you clearly still have strength left, why did you choose to stop?"

"I just wanted to test your theory this time." Suerlun picked up the Golden Supreme Sky from the ground again and said, "And I don't know why, but I always feel that if I continue to kill Guigantes like this, something bad will happen."

"Zeus must know something and he didn't tell me. I have a lot of doubts now."

Surlen trusts his intuition very much. Since his intuition tells him that he can't fight any further, he will stop.

What's more, that old guy Zeus did conceal a lot of information. I always feel that there is a lot of information that he knows but other gods don't.

"I need to go to Mount Olympus. Maybe I really need to talk to the God King of Olympus."

Suerlun's gaze was far-reaching, and at this moment, he thought of more.

Zeus, the king of gods of Olympus, did almost nothing after his rise to power. He just left the world to him, allowing him to act recklessly, put forward his own ideas, and realize his own wishes.

But this doesn't seem like Zeus, why would he give in so easily?
On the top of Mount Olympus, Zeus sat alone on the throne of the king of gods. His expression was calm and peaceful, and his eyes, which once contained violent thunder, seemed unusually peaceful at this moment.

It was the first time that Suren saw such silence, which was totally unlike Zeus, the great father god who controls thunder.

"Zeus, I need an explanation."

"What do you know? Why don't you tell me?" Suren asked.

"To you?"

Zeus smiled, his voice was majestic, like thunder: "I am the great father god Zeus. Not only are you a god, but humans are also my beloved sons. As a 'father', I am willing to grant you a dream. Even if you will cry when you wake up, you will also smile in this illusory golden dream."

"Tell me, why should I tell you those cruel truths?"

"Although the power of our gods is weak, it is not difficult to support you in your drunken life until the end of your life."

"But I need the truth. I want to do something for this era, not..."

Suerlun was silent, then said, "Is the Age of Gods coming to an end?"

"That's fine!"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Surren, Zeus simply said, "The end of the Age of Gods is inevitable!"

"If all the Guigantes are killed, the Age of Gods will accelerate to its end."

This has become a reality after the White Giant God Cefalu came to Earth.

Before Cefalu, the earth was divided into generations of gods, and humans became "golden humans" who would not die of aging. Almost all myths have recorded this beautiful era.

Huangdi Neijing: People in ancient times lived to be a hundred years old and were still very active.

The first humans, hominids, etc.

The beginning of all myths is such a beautiful era.

Perhaps in that era, the Age of Gods was the only era that would never end or decline.

After the arrival of the predatory planets and space nomads that attacked civilizations, the more developed the civilization, the stronger the special attacks it suffered, which directly dealt a heavy blow to the Earth's God Generation.

From then on, the Age of Gods began to shrink, and the abundant great source of magic power and the Age of Gods ether gradually fell into decline in an unstoppable manner.

And not only that, this is also a choice of environment. Except for the mechanical gods like the Twelve Gods of Olympus, the rest of the gods are planetary consciousness, suppressing the tentacles of Gaia consciousness.

Gaia is terrified by the alien white giant god and wants to end the Age of Gods. Then the Age of Gods will inevitably end and it will not be changed by any individual's will.

The only thing that can fight against the inhibitory force is naturally the inhibitory force. However, in this era, the Alaya consciousness, as the collective consciousness of mankind, is not enough to fight against the Gaia consciousness.

The end of the Age of Gods will mark the rise of the human age, which is also in the interests of the Alaya consciousness, so the Alaya is also happy to see the end of the Age of Gods.

As the coordinate anchoring the Age of Gods, Guigantes is the final reference. If all of Guigantes disappear, the two major restraining forces will join forces to accelerate the demise of the Age of Gods.

First, the gods stopped interfering in the human world, and the world was ruled by demigods and heroes.

After that, there were fewer and fewer descendants of gods with divine blood, the priests began to fail to receive oracles from God, and miracles became less and less frequent.

Until the end, the Son of God returned to heaven, returned all that was left of God, and completely opened the era of mankind.

During this period, perhaps the remnants will last for a thousand years, but when the gods no longer interfere in the human world, the Age of Gods will actually end.

"But, Suerlun, although the Age of Gods will eventually come to an end, the era you created will never end."

Zeus smiled happily: "Everyone will remember that there was a time when there was a man. He was the Golden King who commanded both humans and gods. He was the King of Kings, the God of Gods, the Lord of both humans and gods, and the greatest hero of Greece!"

“This is not what I want…”

Suerlun murmured to himself, his eyes gradually revealing determination: "What I want is to retain the scenery of the Age of Gods in the age of humans."

"I want to combine the two. What I want is a beautiful world where everyone can smile..."

"That's impossible, Suren." Zeus chuckled and said, "Why not enjoy this last good time? If you have a crush on a goddess, I can arrange for you to get married."

"Suerlun, when you can make a choice, don't leave yourself with any regrets."

"..." Suerlun's eyes were firm, and he said: "Yes, don't let yourself have any regrets."

"Zeus, even so, I still want to try."

"Alas...stubborn man!" Zeus shook his head: "I knew you would say that, so I have been hiding it from you."

"You are not a mortal who will calmly accept your fate and live a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death when the end comes. Even if the gods feel despair, you still maintain a high and vigorous fighting spirit."

Zeus said: "But, son of man, if you have been busy for half your life, you suddenly find that all your efforts have not made this era better, but made the situation worse, and everything is sliding into the abyss."

"Will you cry, will you regret it?"

"Zeus, I will bear it."

As if he had responded a thousand times, Surlun showed an expression that he would never back down, even though he knew that this road might be difficult, might not work at all, might have worked in vain for a long time, and could only helplessly accept the demise of the Age of Gods.

And if we take a step back, according to what Zeus said, he can marry almost any goddess, whether it is Athena, Hestia, Artemis or other single goddesses. Under Zeus' guarantee and his charm, no goddess would choose to refuse, right?
However, Suerlun still wanted to give it a try, to see if he could keep the Age of Gods in his heart, that prosperous golden age.
