Picnicking in the former realm of the gods, there is always a sense of desecration of places of interest - this place must have been very spectacular in the past, just by looking at the exquisite sculptures and patterns remaining on the marble buildings that have not completely collapsed, you can imagine it How sacred and majestic it is when it is still whole.As for the open space under our feet, we can vaguely see that it should be the foundation of an open-air theater. The stepped auditorium with the stage as the center and diverging to the surroundings has long been damaged and cracked, leaving only some scattered stones that cannot be seen. scattered around.

According to Odysseus, the owner of this Temple of Apollo was punished thousands of years ago under the wrath of the god-king and sent to the lower world to meditate, and it seems that he has never returned since then.

I unscrewed the cap of a bottle of Sprite and poured it into a glass, intending to enjoy the so-called red wine with Sprite: "After you returned to this time and space, did you not meet any other relatives except Axo?"

"No more." Odysseus wiped his mouth gracefully, "In the past five years, I have actually traveled all over the gods. Unfortunately, almost all the gods no longer exist. I have also visited I visited Apollo and Artemis' hermitage, but after searching all the way, I realized that they have already entered reincarnation, and now they have lost their divine power and memory, and are living as ordinary people."

"You mean, apart from Athena, Hades, and you, there are no other gods in the world?" I smelled the mixed liquid, and the smell seemed to be okay?

"At least that's true of the Greek Protoss." Odysseus glanced at me, "The Norse Protoss disappeared completely after Ragnarok, and as far as I know, there is only the last one left of the Ancient Egyptian Protoss, and it seems to have died out." They defected to Pluto's command, while the Eastern Protoss chose to completely separate from the secular world earlier, and moved to a place that humans will never be able to reach."

I drank the pomegranate-colored liquid in the cup in one gulp, and smacked my lips: "In other words, the result of the war between these two gods is directly related to the ownership of the land?"

"To put it simply, this is true, but neither Hades nor Athena are gods who are keen on fighting. The so-called 'jihad' in the world originally did not refer to the war between Athena and Hades, but It refers to the war in which the gods participated, and Athena has not only fought against one or two gods in the long years." Odysseus controlled his hair and neatly cleaned up the messy table, throwing all the garbage into another dimension, Then he got up, and all the oil-stained hair tips instantly withered and withered, and all fell off and turned into dots of silver light that dissipated in the air, "Come with me, just take a look, and you will naturally understand why the gods will put Athens to death." Na regards her as a bitter enemy."

The surrounding scenery changed again. This time, what came into view was a vast remnant of war, with traces of astonishing damage everywhere. There were huge craters everywhere on the ground, and high-temperature scorching remains remained on the scattered broken bricks and tiles. As far as the eye can see, the traces of the burning, the only standing building within a few hundred meters is a palace with an astonishing area in front of you. The huge sharp blade cut off half of the entire building at an angle.

I carefully walked into the palace through the cracked gaps all over the floor, stretched out my hand to caress the surface of the damaged building, an indescribable sadness and panic welled up in my heart.

Is that the will of the gods left here thousands of years ago?What is going on here?

Suddenly, a strange thing appeared in my line of sight, approached and leaned down / body to push away the gravel, only to find that it was a cluster of black feathers, with a trace of bloody dark red faintly flowing in the veins, in a white field Against the backdrop of the palace, it looks extremely abrupt.

I stretched out my hand uncontrollably, which itself seemed to be a kind of secret temptation, exuding a fatal attraction to induce me to approach, and then approached until my fingertips touched the soft surface of the feather, and a huge force gushed out from it And out, brutally and domineeringly broke into my brain!

Blood, broken limbs, screams, cries.

Dao Guang, Jian Ying, Thunder, Surging Waves.

The broken utensils and wine bottles, the overturned flower baskets and sculptures, the fresh and tender petals scattered on the ground were crushed and crushed by countless pairs of panicked shoes, mixed with the wine and blood that were poured all over the ground, precious The woven gold silk carpet has been polluted badly by the dark purple mud, and has been torn to pieces by the strong wind brought by countless magic weapons.

Countless figures brandished their weapons in the palace to kill, their faces were distorted and deformed by the furious killing intent, and the blood-drenched weapons were unceremoniously slashed at the prey around them under the crazy control of the master.No matter how close the lovers were in the past, at this moment, there is only hatred in the eyes of each other, and they raise the butcher knife in their hands without hesitation, and send a complete death to the beloved.

The center of the melee was the Valkyrie holding the golden spear and the shield of Aegis. The splashed blood soaked her whole body over and over again. The delicate patterns on the surface of the pale gold armor had long been filled with blood, and her heroic face Overwhelmed by the killing intent, she looks like an Asura, her original golden pupils have been covered in pitch black, and she is barren, with dark red lines spreading all over her body along her tense veins, dyeing this terrifying killing with endless coquettish aura. color.

My thoughts were suddenly brought back to reality, I gasped in horror, Axo's cool palm was pressing against my forehead, continuously sending me healing microcosms.

"... Where the hell is this place?" I managed to regain my composure, my lips were still trembling.

"The Temple of Zeus, the place of supreme authority where only the king of gods can live, is also the place where the gods gather and feast." Axo whispered, "This is the most important and noble place on Mount Olympus. place."

Odysseus folded his arms and leaned against the pillar beside me, gently rubbing the cluster of black feathers with his fingertips, and wiped it out completely, "This is the trace left by Kerr, I believe what you just saw is enough Explain what happened here."

I struggled to squeeze out a voice from the depths of my throat: "... Athena... was the one who made the move first... But many gods joined in the fighting, and the gods present at that time... almost none of them escaped Athena spearhead of..."

Axo and his father worked together, helping me to stand up slowly: "Injuries caused by the artifact, there is almost no one in the world except father who can heal them. Those gods who have lost their bodies and souls are terrified. She escaped from Mount Olympus, looking for her father everywhere, or begging Apollo, or begging me, hoping to be cured, but..." Her tone was filled with grief, "But at that time, father It has already been killed by Zeus for the second time! Why do they only think of their father at this time?!"

A trace of coldness flashed in Odysseus' eyes: "Because the gods claim to be immortal, they think that the fate of extinction will never befall them. Naturally, they are indifferent to my suffering. It's a pity... Athena She broke into the underworld and won a chance for me to be reborn, allowed Axo and I to stay in the sanctuary, and even gave me the title of Ophiuchus Gold Saint and the golden saint clothes. Medicine regained the belief of the world, and then regained the godhead. But Zeus saw through all this, and once again sent me, who had fallen into a human being, to hell. The curse of 'never come back to life'. It's a pity that Zeus never dreamed of it, and his move also pushed the Greek gods to extinction."

I rubbed my temples with a splitting headache: "Sorry, can you give me a little time to digest? The amount of information is too much..."

Odysseus nodded: "Naturally."

I thank you feebly, picked up a piece of gravel, quickly drew out a few key words on the ground, integrated the information I had known in the past, and began to sort it—the first death of Asclepius was during the Trojan War , was executed by Zeus's thunderbolt on the grounds of "reviving the dead and destroying the order of heaven and earth". Athena broke into the underworld to argue for reason. Under the intervention of Zeus' oral order brought by Hermes, Hades finally gave in and allowed Asker Lepius was reincarnated as a human and returned to the world, but at this moment his weak soul could not carry the Godhead of the God of Medicine, so he was temporarily handed over to Persephone for safekeeping.

Later, under the protection of Athena, the father and daughter of the medical priest settled down in the sanctuary. Asclepius was even given the title of No. 13 golden saint and the holy clothes. With the acquiescence of Athena, he spread medical skills in the The temple of Asclepius is still preserved in the Acropolis of Athens. The worship of the god of medicine in ancient Greece has not declined. Until today, the single snake stick is still a symbol of medicine. The symbol appears in logos of healthcare organizations worldwide.

But when Asclepius was only one step away from returning to the divine book, in order to rescue Pallas who was accidentally injured by Athena, he set off to the Queen of Death Island to find extremely rare medicinal herbs, but was accidentally dropped by Zeus again. Thunder struck down the crater and there were no bones left.In order to prevent the god of medicine from resurrecting again, Zeus did not hesitate to engrave a curse on the silk thread of the three goddesses of fate.Due to lack of timely medical treatment, Pallas finally died in extreme pain, and his soul and body/body were completely annihilated.

In grief and indignation, Athena went to Mount Olympus to question what Zeus had done. However, in Zeus's view, this daughter who was predicted by Prometheus to overthrow her before she was born finally showed her fangs, and the negotiation was almost instant. The conflicts accumulated in the past have completely broken out.The soaring resentment and bloody smell from the fighting of the gods attracted Ke Er here, and he used his own small universe to infinitely magnify the dark side of the gods' hearts, and the scene was finally completely out of control.

The result of this war is the empty ruins of the temple and the empty Mount Olympus that I see at this moment, and the breath of the gods has completely disappeared.

In the end, I let out a long sigh: "It's so annoying to make trouble at the doctor."

Odysseus chuckled, "Isn't it?"

"But there is a problem with your rhetoric." I got up and patted the dust on my body, "Since you can return to the world as a human through reincarnation, why would other gods prefer to ask a few medical gods for help instead of asking for help?" Willing to go this way?"

"The price of my reincarnation back to the human world is the loss of the divine book and the body/body of the divine race that far surpasses the strength of human beings. It is actually nothing to me. As long as I still retain the wisdom and memory related to medical skills, I can continue to save lives and heal the wounded. There is actually no difference between being a god or being a human being. However, not all gods are willing to accept this condition...or in other words, the vast majority of gods would rather die than surrender their status to be with humans."

Odysseus explained earnestly, "Life and death are a boundary that cannot be easily crossed. There are too many uncertain factors after entering reincarnation. Under the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth, how much memory and power can be retained after reincarnation? Can it be reincarnated?" Back to the peak period? And for the gods whose souls are severely damaged, it is unknown whether they can even reincarnate safely in the next life."

Axo added: "And at that time, the gods who were seriously injured couldn't even go to the underworld. When they came to me for healing, they almost unanimously said that Hades rejected the gods of Olympus for some reason. The soul crossed the Agron River, and ordered the twin gods and the underworld fighters to drive out all the undead who stepped into the underworld, forcing the souls of the gods to wander in the world."

"After Athena confirmed the news of her father's death, she decided to go back to the heavens to confront Zeus, but she was worried that I would be affected by this, so she asked me to leave the sanctuary far away before leaving, and take the time to spread my father's medical skills to the world. I didn't know that a terrible battle had taken place on Mount Olympus until a large number of dead souls of the gods in the heavens came to me for help. When I arrived at the sanctuary, I saw only an empty dead city. No matter whether it was Athena or the saints, they all disappeared. There was a lot of blood left on the scene, and almost every inch of bricks, tiles and land was dyed dark purple. In desperation, I sank my father's former palace and holy clothes into the ground together with myself, and fell into a deep sleep until Athena woke me up again."

I scratched my hair: "Is the relationship between the underworld and the heavens so bad? Even death doesn't make people die well."

Odysseus said seriously: "I have always wanted to understand this question, but the underworld is the world of the dead, and the living cannot set foot in it, and as early as after the Titan War ended, Hades went to the underworld alone to assume the role of Hades , has almost no contact with other gods, not to mention the present, even the past, the underworld is also a place where the gods of the heavens know little about it."

"However, more than two hundred years ago, in order to repay my kindness, King Garuda, who was reincarnated as a water mirror, told me a huge change that was only known in the underworld—Persephone, for some reason, without Ha With the permission of Diss, he opened the seal of Tartarus and released a large number of evil gods and monsters imprisoned in it, and the underworld paid an extremely painful price to wipe them all out."

"Among the evil gods that were released, Kerr was the most special and terrifying one. She almost destroyed half of the underworld by herself. In the end, Hades used her own body as a container to put the Er's main force sealed it, and placed the coffin above the entrance of Tartarus, and guided the power in the abyss and the power of Hades to lock the coffin tightly, and barely suppressed Ker's body. But this is just It is a remedy after the dead, Ke Er's power has already dissipated into the Three Realms, causing countless disputes and destruction in the world."

My heart moved, and it turned out that this is the real reason why Hades always finds other people's flesh/body to use in every jihad.

"According to the memory stored in the magic star, after that battle, Hades may have hated Persephone or was polluted by Kerr's power. His temperament became more and more cruel, and he especially hated Betrayal of oneself. Gradually, Hades regards all creatures in the world as filthy, and believes that only the living can be contaminated with the viciousness of desire, which in turn leads to countless crimes. Only death can bring eternal peace to the world. Athena, known as the protector of mankind, naturally couldn't tolerate his ideas, and the conflict between the two inevitably broke out."

"Wait a minute, haven't you seen with your own eyes that Hades and Persephone are very loving?" I wondered, "Why would Persephone open the seal of Tartarus for no reason, as the queen of the underworld?" She should be very clear about the consequences of doing so, right?"

Odysseus shook his head: "I'm afraid only she knows the reason. Maybe she did betray Hades, maybe... she was forced to do so because of coercion. After the chaos in the underworld, the heavens sent Hermes brought Zeus' decree, questioning him why he failed to fulfill the duties of Pluto, and ordered him to return the godhead of the queen of the underworld and the godhead of the god of medicine kept in the hands of the queen of the underworld. This negotiation, I am afraid it is Hardy It must be the reason why Si vented his anger on the heavens and ordered the closure of the passage to the underworld."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes—what a pain in the ass operation, tossing a big circle to take the lives of so many gods, just for a god of medicine who is said to have the same effect as the elixir of life...

Up to now, Kerr escaped from Tartarus, and Asclepius was forced to live in exile in the cracks of space. That is to say, Zeus originally wanted to have eternal life and power, but he gave the whole of Greece an imperceptible move. The protoss dug a huge grave.

"So where is the so-called God of Medicine now?" I moved my joints a bit, "If you can find it, does it mean that the Kerer problem can be completely solved, and the so-called jihad can be avoided in the future?" gone?"

Odysseus looked at me with a hint of approval: "It's good that you can think of this layer, but I can't find it on my own. I still have to rely on Athena's help to enter the underworld alive. to figure everything out.”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With such a huge blood bank following me, this generation of jihad will probably be fought very easily.

But for some reason, I always feel that Odysseus is actually hiding something, and a strange sense of disobedience lingers in my mind.

After a while, I tentatively asked him, "Why did you guide Garen to find me? And why did you ask him to tell me what happened to Shui Jing? Is there any special connection between this?"

Odysseus lowered his head slowly. He was standing with the backlight. As he moved, the upper half of his face gradually disappeared into the darkness, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in a frightening arc: "Twisted What is loyalty? What is betrayal? Everything is in the name of God, and God is the law. Don't you think... this is ridiculous in itself?"

I was confused when I heard it, but when I thought about it carefully, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I don't know if it is my illusion, the surface of the sun hanging high in the sky is covered with a layer of haze, which dims the dazzling light.

The author has something to say:

In fact, the God of Medicine has been hinting at the male protagonist in a very obscure way—there will be no good end for messing with Athena, why don't we do something big together?
