Chapter 1773 Origin Anomaly
The surging spiritual power churned the sea, causing the ship to rock violently.
Destiny Monk held the Heart of Ares in one hand, his eyes narrowed, fingers lightly plucking a few threads from the myriad causal strings in the sky, nodding slightly at Lin Qiye.
“Commander Lin, what happened?” Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi stood behind Lin Qiye, asking in confusion.
“Nothing, you two go ahead first.”
Lin Qiye slowly stood up from the bow, gripping the straight knife engraved with a golden “seven” in his hand.
He turned back to smile at the two, “Once I finish things here, I’ll come find you in Cangnan.”
As his words fell, his figure leaped up, heading straight toward Ares’ corpse. Under the low sky, the ship gradually sailed away on the sea, and the two figures became increasingly blurred.
“What do you think Commander Lin is going to do with the divine corpse?” Jia Shasha couldn’t help asking as she gazed at the distant shadow.
“I don’t know… but it’s probably beyond our understanding.”
Zhen Xiaoyi sighed.
Boom——!!!
In an instant, a brilliant golden light erupted from the sea behind the ship, shooting straight into the clouds!
The turbulent waves nearly capsized the ship. Everyone held tightly to the railings to stabilize themselves. When they looked back, the distance had already become an ocean of golden light.
…
Meanwhile.
Olympus.
Thunder clouds rolled as Poseidon, the Sea God, sat on the cracked golden throne at the peak of the silent divine mountain, holding his trident and gazing toward the direction of Great Xia.
“The time should be about right…” he murmured.
“I have a feeling this won’t go as smoothly as planned,” a figure shrouded in shadows beside the throne spoke hoarsely.
“Why?”
“Those humans from Great Xia, we dealt with them seven or eight years ago… Even then, without their divine protection, they managed to withstand us with just a few human powerhouses. Now that Great Xia’s combat strength has skyrocketed, do you think they’ll be so easily defeated?”
Poseidon rested his chin on one hand, as if deep in thought.
“If that’s the case, why did you still allow them to go trouble Great Xia?” he asked.
“Ares was Zeus’s partisan. After we joined forces to kill Zeus, he stayed here for the glory of the Greek gods, but he was no longer of one mind with us… Such a threat is better eliminated.”
“No wonder you let Ares attack alone from the northern border.” Poseidon glanced at him, “As expected of you, Hades.”
Hades’s figure, shrouded in shadows, smiled grimly, “As for the other two, they have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. Even if ambushed by Great Xia’s people, they should have the ability to escape back.”
“Using Great Xia to eliminate threats is indeed a good choice, but I must remind you that today’s Olympus is no longer the Olympus of the past. Of our twelve main gods, some have died, some have left… Now besides those who went to Great Xia, only you, me, and Apollo remain.
With just three main gods and a group of lesser gods, we cannot defeat Great Xia.”
“Actively attacking Great Xia, we certainly have no chance of winning, but if they come here on their own, that’s a different story,” Hades spoke softly. “We, like Great Xia, are ancient civilizations. In terms of foundation, we are no less than them… Back when Zeus was severely injured and near death, didn’t Brahma of the Temple of Heaven also fail to leave Olympus?”
Poseidon frowned without speaking.
“Moreover, although Great Xia is now militarily strong, they don’t have a supreme god in command, while you and I control the essence of Olympus. With this golden throne, ascending to the supreme realm is just a matter of these two years.
Once one of us becomes supreme, what use will Great Xia’s powerhouses be, no matter how many they have?”
Poseidon’s expression softened somewhat.
His trident trembled slightly, and a torch-shaped essence appeared before him, burning vigorously with origin power that seemed to contain an extremely vast force.
Just as Poseidon was about to say something, suddenly the essence in his hand violently shook!
Threads of causality extended from the void, suddenly locking onto the essence in his hand, and at the same time, a dazzling golden light surged out from within the essence!
Poseidon froze in place.
Boom——!!!
Golden light shot up from the essence, like a pillar of light straight into the sky, immediately attracting the attention of all Olympian gods.
“What happened? Why is the essence suddenly affected?” Hades’s face changed, and he immediately asked.
“I don’t know… it wasn’t me,” Poseidon said gravely.
“But there are only the two of us here?”
“I said, it has nothing to do with me!”
As the two argued, the golden light in the sky gradually dispersed, but the next moment, all the gods of Olympus were stunned.
In the sky above the mountains, a golden horizontal line and a golden vertical line intersected, like an immense cross, imprinted in the void, covering the entire realm of Olympus.
“What is this?” Hades looked up at the golden “ten,” asking in confusion.
Poseidon didn’t speak. He waved his hand, and the trident standing on the ground whistled toward the sky, but passed through the center of the cross as if through nothing.
“How is this possible…” Poseidon seemed to realize something, frowning and muttering.
Seeing Poseidon’s attack fail, Hades also launched an attack. A mass of underworld black energy surged into the sky, trying to consume the golden mark, but the mark not only remained unchanged but appeared on the surface of the black energy, like light projected onto a screen.
“What the hell is this??”
“Don’t bother trying… This thing is projected from our essence,” Poseidon slowly said.
“Essence?” Hades turned his head to see that indeed, a hint of golden light was faintly visible in the essence. “Why would the essence suddenly project this thing?”
“I don’t know.”
“Can we erase it?”
“It’s useless. Unless we destroy Olympus’s essence ourselves, that golden mark will continue to exist.”
“…Is this a spontaneous anomaly in the essence, or is it man-made?”
“Not sure, but the essence has been in my hands all along, so the possibility of it being man-made should be low.”
Hades gazed deeply at the mark in the sky for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: “If that’s the case, let’s observe it for a while longer…”
