Love Warriors Cong Liangji

Princesses, priestesses, snake girls, queens... The fiercest time, he directly singled out 49 princesses ([-] of them were knocked down), and all of them gave birth to him...

The love history of Hercules is particularly rich, and what is surprising is that the sons of these lovers are basically sons... Let's put it this way, there is more than one nation whose ancestors are Hercules!

And several of his sons became kings, traveling all over Europe and Asia!

According to the standards of this world, among the wives of Hercules, there is more than one who can be called the God of Disobedience.

(By the way, Hercules took all men and women, and his adopted son and nephew were his lovers, and they were more affectionate than ordinary lovers...

Uncle B didn't expect you to be like this, I really misread you! )

How could Jiang Liu find someone's real name from it...

However, the goddess said that she has a deep relationship with this land, and perhaps she can start from here.

"A myth or legend related to Sicily?"

Under Liliana's searching eyes, Jiang Liu fell into deep thought...

-

Mount Etna, which is one of the most famous tourist attractions, is 3000 meters above sea level and is known as the highest active volcano in Europe.

Yes, it is still active like Mount Fuji, but although frequent volcanic eruptions bring danger, they also bring extremely fertile soil and a lot of tourism resources to the local area.

"...fire is destruction."

A pair of white and tender bare feet walked on the dark volcanic rock, and the graceful goddess walked in purgatory.

"But the flame is also the origin of creation."

She walked through large and small volcanic cones. These holes, like the pores of the earth, penetrate the crust and connect to the interior of the planet. They are far more active than the main crater. Occasionally, they will emit high-temperature gas that is enough to roast flesh in an instant. Even Red-gold magma flowed out.

However, the goddess in white robes is fearless, as if walking leisurely in her own courtyard, the pungent sulfur smell, scorching high temperature, poisonous gas and magma that may spew out at any time... such a harsh environment is not for her. little impact.

This is not surprising, after all, she is the Mother Goddess of Earth, and the earth is her origin. In places with frequent geological activities like volcanoes, the spirit of the earth is also extremely active, which is as comfortable to her as soaking in hot springs.

The high temperature and poisonous gas that are fatal to ordinary people, it is naturally impossible for the majestic God of Disobedience to be afraid.

"Magma brings destruction, but after destruction will usher in new life. Since the creation of heaven and earth, the earth has been in this cycle."

Although walking on foot seems to be slow, the goddess' foot strength is actually quite extraordinary. She easily crossed a distance of tens of kilometers, passed through the area surrounded by dense volcanic cones, and climbed to the top of Mount Etna.

She once told Jiang Liu that she was looking for something, so it is really strange that she climbed Mount Etna.

Because for an active volcano, it is naturally impossible to have anything with a long history around it.

In fact, this road is indeed barren, not to mention treasures, even animals and plants are rare. It seems that it has not been too long since the last eruption, and the ecosystem has not yet evolved. The Gobi is harsh.

But there was no hesitation or confusion on the face of the black-haired goddess, and she wore a faint smile from the beginning to the end, as if everything was under control.

Soon, she came to a place close to the mountain pass, but she didn't climb to the top. Instead, she turned around the crater for half a circle, and stopped in front of an empty rock wall that looked like nothing special.

"Haha, interesting."

The goddess walked towards the rock wall, and then walked through it like a phantom.

"Human warlocks really have fantastic ideas."

After passing through the sheltered barrier, she saw a long corridor, and the flat steps and stone walls proved that this place was a man-made relic.

It is unbelievable that this relic is hidden in a volcano!

The group of people who built the ruins did not know what method they used. Not only did they dig out a small space for sacrifices in the mountain, they also restricted the direction of the spiritual energy of the entire mountain, which indirectly affected the direction of the lava. Even if the volcano erupts, it will not destroy it.

Passing through the winding corridors and destroying countless barriers during the process, the goddess came to a small secret room.

Since it is hidden in the volcanic mountain, the scale of the ruins is destined not to be too large, and this stone room is really small to a certain extent, it can barely accommodate a small altar.

There are simple stone pillars, stone statues, murals and other things on it, which prove that this place has indeed been used, but it is not known how many years it has been abandoned.

Judging from the ancient style of these cultural relics, it may have a history of thousands or even thousands of years...

And in the center of the altar, surrounded by stone pillars at the four corners, is a ritual utensil that is an obsidian statue about half a meter high.

The upper body is a naked woman with long hair and a graceful figure, her face has long been blurred, but the lower body is two entangled snake tails, which looks obscene and weird, but also has a sacred feeling for no reason.

"really……"

The goddess smiled uncontrollably, and picked up the statue with great care.

The altar also seemed to have a protective barrier or something, but they were all ignored by the excited goddess, and they really couldn't stop her.

"Are you late..."

Just when the goddess was about to leave with the statue, she heard a childish but majestic voice, which made her turn around with frowns.

It was a cute young girl wearing a knitted sweater and cat ear hat, but her face was extremely cold.

"One step faster than me, Echidna."

"Heh, this is something that belongs to me, and it is only natural that it should be returned to me."

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, the black-haired goddess raised the corners of her mouth and let out a sneer without scruples.

"It's you who have the audacity to come here and steal the symbols of your compatriots, Athena!"

Chapter 523: Thundering Volcano

Athena is the daughter of Zeus, the Greek god king, and the guardian of the city of Athens. She is well-known even if it goes without saying.

Although the majestic Goddess of Wisdom appeared in the form of a little girl, it was quite shocking, but there was nothing to say other than that.

On the contrary, it is the black-haired goddess - Echidna, who is a very special existence in Greek mythology.Her popularity may not be as high as Athena, but the importance of the role she plays is no less than that of the goddess of wisdom.

She is the "mother of demons" in the legend. She was originally a Nymph (fairy), but was later reduced to a monster.

She combined with the giant Typhon and gave birth to many monsters, such as Hydra the hydra, Cerberus the three-headed dog, Chimera, Harpy, Sphinx, Radon the hundred-headed evil dragon, etc., quite a few of them are famous and famous. All monsters with the last name can be traced back to her.

It is also said that even Gorgon is also her daughter, and she even gave birth to three sons with Hercules as a snake girl.

In short, she is to monsters what Chiron is to heroes.

But the "mother of demons" is not her original appearance.

Echidna, like Athena, is one of the oldest earth goddesses.

But because in ancient times, the human race changed from a matriarchal clan to a patriarchal clan, which indirectly affected the changes in mythology, causing those ancient and noble and powerful mother gods to be pulled down from the throne one after another.

The male gods rose up with swords, deprived the mother gods of their authority and status, and degraded their godheads.Therefore, in the mythology, the earth mother gods became the wives, daughters, lovers of male gods, and even degenerated into monsters.

Among these male god usurpers, the most representative one is [Steel].

This is a general term for a category of gods, specifically referring to those heroic gods who obtained power from the Earth Mother Goddess, who once killed dragon snake monsters, and wielded magical weapons that symbolized killing authority... who met these conditions.

Under the invasion of [Steel] and other male gods, most of the earth mother gods were belittled and lost their original status.

Athena is one of them, and Echidna is the same, even worse than Athena.

The Goddess of Wisdom has only been split into godheads, and part of her divinity has degenerated, but as the oldest goddess of the earth, Echidna's overall image has completely become a monster...

She was originally the goddess of the earth who symbolizes "harvest" and "gestation". She has the same origin as Gaia, and it can even be said that they are one with each other.

But as her status was lowered, the dependents separated from her godhead were beheaded by steel heroes one by one as monsters, and even she herself eventually fell under the sharp blade of steel.

Throughout the entire Greek mythology, the demigod heroes can be said to be more eye-catching than the gods of Olympus, but most of these heroes stepped on the monsters—the descendants of Echidna.

It can be said that almost all the [steel] in Greece have targeted her. As a result, she is like the representative of the Earth Mother, repeatedly abused by the heroes, and she is also the most miserable one among the Earth Mother...

The worst of them all is that Hercules!

Not only beheaded her many descendants, but also let her give birth to the hero of steel!

Since she has suffered so much persecution, it is impossible to say that she has no resentment in her heart.

She wholeheartedly wants to regain her original posture. Only when she regains the godhead and strength of her heyday, can she have the ability to take revenge on the male gods who persecuted her.

And to do this, as a monster, she must retrieve the symbol of the concept of "Earth Mother Goddess" to complement her lost divinity.

【Birth Snake】——This idol is a ritual vessel for "harvest" and "breeding", and it is also the "magic tool" of the earth mother.

The so-called "divine implements" are of course special props that only gods can use. Generally speaking, they contain incredible power, and some divine implements even represent the essence of gods.

Except that the godslayer may have special means to drive it, human beings simply cannot make good use of divine equipment, and because it has indestructible properties, so for human beings, this is just a waste product that will attract gods who do not obey, and it is a disaster. Evil symbol.

This stone sculpture has part of the essence of Ekadna. It seemed to be found by human witches and warlocks. In order to avoid disturbing the mother goddess of the earth, it was hidden in the forest and sealed in the volcano with the most intense aura activity.

This can not only appease the active volcano, but also hide the aura fluctuations... No wonder Ekadna has not been able to sense it all this time.

But it may be the guidance of fate. She was "awakened" by accident this time, and she came to Sicily inexplicably.

Remembering that she has another source of origin, Mount Etna can also be said to be a large relic related to her, so she went to Mount Etna to try to search, and she found the statue of the goddess.

However, she was not the only one who took a fancy to this statue.

Athena is also the goddess of the earth who has been degraded. Although what she lacks is different from that of Eckard, since she is of the same kind, this statue will also be of great benefit to her, but the improvement rate is not as good as that of Eckard. That's just big.

The mother of demons is not surprised that she was followed by Athena.

In addition to the Valkyrie side, this goddess of wisdom also has the image of the queen of the underworld. She can control the darkness freely and can perfectly restrain her breath.

Presumably, he met Ekadna by accident, and used his wisdom to deduce the intention of the mother of demons, and then wanted to play the trick of the oriole behind.

——Although they are of the same kind, it doesn't mean that they have a good relationship.

In fact, the godheads and domains of the two goddesses can perfectly complement each other. No matter who absorbs the other's divine power, they can return to or even surpass their heyday. This makes it impossible for them to sit down and discuss with each other calmly.

After all, no one is a good man and a believer!

However, unlike Echidna, who has become violent inside, Athena is a rational existence. As the goddess of wisdom, she will not use force to solve everything like the crazy hero god.

"I have no intention of robbing you of your token, Echidna."

The young girl with short silver hair said lightly: "Although that 'snake' is very valuable, it does not belong to me. Even if absorbing it can improve my strength, it can't bring me back to my original posture."

"Oh?"

Echidna held the statue in his hand and looked at Athena playfully.

"But you didn't come here to catch up with me, did you? I'm not those heroes of steel, and I'm not familiar with you, Your Lady Queen."

Athena often exists in the image of a hero guide in mythology. Many of the heroes of steel guided by her are enemies of Echidna, so this mother of demons has always been hostile to her. He even regarded her as a traitor who flattered the male gods—this is undoubtedly a radical view.

Athena didn't care about her sarcasm, and calmly made a suggestion.

"Your symbol contains the divinity of 'breeding', and it is also the existence that commands many dependents of the earth, especially 'snakes' and 'birds', which are very compatible with me.
