Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 365 Are you ready kids?
Kronos, the second generation king of gods in Greek mythology, is also the leader of the Titans.

As the Greek God King, this guy's pursuit of power is the driving force behind almost all of his actions.

After he obtained the throne of God-King, God gave a prophecy: his rule would be overthrown by his own children.

Because he became king by killing his father, in order to consolidate his rule, he once tried to ensure that his throne was not threatened by devouring his own children.

Whenever a child was born, he would swallow it up immediately!
One can imagine how cruel this god is and how strong his desire for power is.

However, as shown in most movies, novels and other cultural works, guys who are this brutal are usually also very powerful.

As the leader of the Titans, he was able to kill the first God-King of ancient Greece with his own hands, and he could remain immortal under the siege of the twelve Olympian gods. He was an existence that could only be sealed and imprisoned underground. Among all the ancient gods, Cross's strength is probably among the top three.

But such a powerful and ruthless character actually chose a timid old man like Dionysus as his partner?

At this moment, the god of wine, who was being watched by hundreds of eyes, was tied up and thrown on a dining table, surrounded by lesser demigods who were looking at him angrily.

Especially the leaders Annabeth, Tyson and Percy Jackson. These three have always been loyal fans of Dionysus. When Luke betrayed the camp with a large group of demigods, they were not moved at all by Luke's words. They always believed that only a kind and wise elder like Dionysus could lead them, the demigods, to a bright future.

But I didn’t expect that this guy had already surrendered to the enemy!

And the only purpose is to break the curse of not being able to taste fine wine and delicious food for the rest of my life.
Feeling the malice surging from all directions, the god of wine, like a lamb to be slaughtered, pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and quickly looked past the crowd to look at Rango and others who were eating and drinking at a table in the back.

Perhaps it was because they flew all the way from Los Angeles to the mysterious island without stopping, but after teaching Bacchus a lesson, Rango and the others entered the camp and saw the barbecue and bread on the table that were used to replenish the students' energy, so they started eating without hesitation.

"Fuck, what are you looking at me doing?"

Rango, who was sipping a bowl of oatmeal, glared back impatiently, wiped his mouth and asked in a deep voice: "Since you have already joined Cross and are secretly helping him to find out the situation in the human world, then what do you want to do by gathering so many descendants of the gods? To be the subordinates and thugs of the ancient gods?"

As soon as he said this, Rango rejected it in his heart.

If you want to train subordinates for Cross, there is no need to instill in these little demigods the idea that Cross is the enemy of Olympus.

After all, these guys were almost all ordinary people who had not awakened their divine powers before being led to human society by Dionysus. How would they know who was a good guy and who was a villain? Dionysus could have easily deceived them by saying that Cross was the king of gods who came to save Olympus. There was really no need for him to do such a thankless task now.

Of course, there aren't many good people among the so-called twelve gods of Olympus.

The damn Zeus was still wearing Jupiter's vest and feeding on super-powered babies to hold a dinner party. It was only when he met the honest Chris that Rango did it himself, he would have cut this bastard into pieces.

After hearing Rango's question, Bacchus hesitated and did not speak. The words he wanted to beg for mercy froze on his face and he pursed his lips tightly.

Looking at his appearance, even a fool could tell that this old bastard must be hiding some ulterior motive.

Crack-!
A whip condensed with divine power suddenly lashed at his body!

"Ouch!!!"

The god of wine immediately began to wail, twisting on the table like a fat maggot.

But Annabeth showed no mercy. With a stern face and cold eyes, she lashed the bloated centaur body of the god of wine with the divine whip in her hand like raindrops.

The tips of some of the whips even hit the horse's testicles accurately, causing the old man to throb with pain.

But this old guy had the courage to betray Olympus and join the ancient gods. Although his strength was a little weaker, he was still quite tough. Of course, it might also be because Annabeth's whip was not as heavy as Rango's fist. He took thousands of whips and remained silent.

This scene aroused Rango's curiosity. Based on his understanding of the god of wine, this old man was definitely not a tough guy. Since he didn't say a word even after being whipped like this, there were only two reasons.

First, this guy felt that if he told the reason, he would definitely not survive.

Second, he is mixed with the alphabet circle
Well, looking at his curious centaur appearance, it seems that both of these factors are very likely.

On the other hand, Annabeth's emotions became more and more excited as she twitched. Her experience was very different from that of Tyson or Percy. Since she was a girl, she was not loved by her father who favored boys over girls. Also, because she developed too quickly, she was not liked by her peers at school.

But one night, when she was leaning on the edge of the bed, gazing at the bright moon outside the window, a figure with a thick beard riding a horse miraculously passed across the moon.

Soon, there was a gentle knock on the window frame, and a smiling bearded old man leaned out and asked her if she was Annabeth.

Anna was so excited that she called out Santa Claus' name!
Well, we all know the rest of the story. This old man is not Santa Claus, he is just a centaur with a beard.

But for Annabeth, although Dionysus is not Santa Claus, he means much more to her than the former.

Under the guidance of Dionysus, Anna learned that she was the daughter of Athena. This realization helped her regain her confidence and awaken her potential divine power.

After arriving at the demigod camp, she took the teachings of the god of wine as her guiding principle. Faced with the betrayal of Luke and others, she not only did not go along with them, but resolutely stood on the opposite side and became the backbone of the fight against them.

And now the God of Dionysus actually said that all the ideas that he had instilled in them were false. How could Annabeth not be angry?

"Damn old bastard!"

Annabeth's furious whip hit the god of wine until his skin was torn. But just as she was about to increase the force, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Rango winked at her and said with a smile: "If you just beat him, he will be killed easily. I have a better way."

Annabeth nodded slightly at that, but still glared fiercely at the silent Bacchus with his eyes closed.

Seeing her ferocious look at this moment, Rango felt inexplicably touched in her heart. It was the first time she saw Anna so angry. This ruthless temperament was quite sexy.

So, he lowered his voice and whispered to the other party: "If you are still not satisfied, you can use the whip when it gets dark."

Rango's voice became smaller and smaller. After Annabeth heard what he said, most of her anger disappeared in an instant. She hit his arm unhappily, then twisted her hips and retreated behind him.

Seeing that she had no intention of rejecting him, Rango coughed lightly in satisfaction, then his face changed and he looked expressionlessly at the Bacchus who was still pretending to be dead.

"Okay, stop pretending buddy, I have something nice for you."

When Bacchus heard Rango's voice, his body trembled involuntarily and his eyelids barely opened a crack.

Instantly, a blue ray hit him accurately and penetrated his body instantly. Then, under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the body of the god of wine began to undergo an incredible transformation. The flesh and blood seemed to be kneaded by invisible hands, making a harsh squeaking sound. Along with his painful wails, the centaur's body continued to twist and deform, from a mouse to a wild donkey, then to a giraffe, rhino, elephant... and finally fixed in the form of a cockroach.

The entire camp was filled with the god's miserable screams, as if he was suffering extreme torture.

In reality, the Monkey Talisman's transformation ray was extremely fast and should have painlessly transformed its target into an animal, but Rango deliberately slowed the ray's power to allow Dionysus to fully experience the pain of his body's distortion.

This trick was effective. Within a few minutes, the God of Bacchus, who had gritted his teeth and persisted even when being whipped by Annabeth, finally collapsed and begged for mercy.

Hearing the god of wine's cry for mercy, Rango used a spell to restore him to his original state, and then looked at him with a playful look.

The god of wine regained his centaur form, his eyes were empty, beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead. After a long time, he finally spoke with resignation, and his first sentence shocked the demigods present.

"In fact, these demigods are not the descendants of the gods. Instead, I cultivated pseudo-demigods by injecting the genes of the Olympian gods into babies."

"."

Annabeth and the others were completely stunned. Aren't they descendants of gods?

The god of wine seemed to have given up everything and continued to mutter to himself, "Actually, if you think about it, it's clear. Even if Olympus has a stud god king like Zeus who is promiscuous, how could a virgin goddess like Athena leave offspring in the world, especially with an ordinary person?"

"In order to cover up this fact, I managed to erase the parents who they identified as the gods, and I hypnotized the other party to believe that they were abandoned by their god partner."

"As for why they were told that Cross was the archenemy of Olympus and that they had to fight him to the end... it was all Cross's order."

"He hopes to quickly increase his strength after breaking the seal and suppress other ancient gods. These pseudo-demigods that contain the genes of gods are the perfect supplements."

"He ordered me to teach them to hate the Old Gods, because only in this way can they quickly awaken their divine power and eventually be devoured by Cross in the battle and turned into nutrients. This is also the reason why I have cultivated, no, created demigods for many years."

"."

Compared to the demigods who were still stunned by the shock of the truth, Rango, Teddy and the others could not help but look at each other, their eyes conveying the same message:
This old man is really fucking cruel.

Over the years, he has killed countless parents of children just to cover up a lie about demigods. And these demigods that he has carefully nurtured for many years will eventually be given to Cross by him to be devoured...

And all this is just because the god of wine wants to drink? !
"Fuck it, I find that none of these gods have a normal way of thinking." Teddy cursed speechlessly.

"Yeah, compared to these guys, Thor is simply a simple, kind, sunny boy!"

Rango shook his head, his eyes swept over the demigods who were still unable to extricate themselves from the bloody truth, and he couldn't help clapping his hands. He said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for? Waiting for him to apologize?"

As soon as these words were spoken, these little demigods looked at each other, and then countless colorful divine lights flashed in the camp, almost dyeing the sky colorful.

----------

night.

On a sea cliff in the north of Mysterious Island.

Rango and his group were standing in front of the cliff, leaning their heads towards the sea below.

The moonlight at night is very bright, but it can hardly penetrate the thick darkness. Only the waves tirelessly beat against the shore, splashing silver water.

“It’s a bit strange.”

Rango stared at the radar in his hand. The light spot on the screen showed that the "castanet" that sealed the lightning demon Zhongsu was sleeping deep in the sea, but the radar reading was astonishing - the castanet was actually located under the abyss of 50,000 meters!

You know, even the deepest Mariana Trench in the world cannot reach such a depth.

"I have a bad feeling." Teddy looked out at the sea and couldn't help complaining, "Every time something unexpected like this happens, something bad always happens."

Rango nodded in agreement, but fortunately, they didn't need to put themselves in danger at this moment. They could just send one person to explore the way first.

Thinking of this, he looked at the old Bacchus who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

During the day, he was tortured almost to the point of losing his form by those little demigods. Various tortures were used on him, but he miraculously managed to hold on until now.

And as mentioned before, this God of Wine is indeed an old creature who has lived for countless tens of thousands of years. Although his strength is not that good, he is extremely tough and managed to hang on without dying.

With the idea of ​​recycling waste, Rango brought it to the seaside and made him a pioneer in their search for the last token of the god.

"Remember what I told you. If you can find out everything about the situation down there, I can let you die easily. Otherwise..."

Rango tapped the monkey talisman on his waist, the meaning of which was self-evident.

He added, with a hint of joking: "Of course, you can try to run away, but with my speed, catching you is as easy as taking the bottle from a sleeping baby."

Hearing this, the god of wine began to tremble uncontrollably. Facing those lesser demigods, he might be able to deal with them, but Rango's ruthless methods made him afraid.

He knew very well that he would not be able to withstand several rounds of deformation rays.

So he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Rango then put special Minion headphones on him and threw him into the sea without mercy.

Here, Xiaoyu turned on her laptop and listened to the sound coming from the headphones.

Everyone gathered around Xiaoyu, but all they could hear was the immersive sound of drowning.
As time passed, the sound of drowning gradually became steady. Apparently, for Dionysus, one of the twelve gods of Olympus, ordinary sea pressure was not enough to pose a threat.

However, just as everyone was waiting with bated breath, a noisy noise suddenly came from the headphones, followed by an unexpected voice - was it a cheerful song? !
"Are you ready kids?!"
