I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

Unexpectedly, Hermes' eyes suddenly became a little wobbly, and he couldn't help but stare blankly at the white owl on one side of the railing, wondering what he was thinking.

"Didn't you say that my problems here are not your problems?"

Lixiang's expression gradually became weird.

"That's true...but... why are you looking for Athena?"

"Ask her for Gorgon's blood."

Li Xiang does not play tricks with Hermes, and is equally outspoken about her goals.

"Then do you want to kill someone or save someone?"

"Of course it is saving people. Saving is much more difficult than killing."

Hermes was taken aback by Lixiang's natural answer, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite insightful, that's fine, I can promise you this wish for Athena, next time we meet, oh no, I will send the blood of Gorgon you want directly to in your hand."

"Goo!"

The owl protested, but was ignored.

Hermes said with a smile, but Lixiang couldn't help but feel very surprised by this answer.

"real?!"

Lixiang opened his eyes wide and asked, originally he thought that the hope this time was quite slim, but he didn't expect it to be a success.

"Of course, to be a god, you must be honest."

Hermes nodded, expressing that since he agreed to this matter, he would not regret it.

"No—but~ It's just that if this is the case, this transaction cannot be concluded."

"trade……?"

Li Xiang was a little surprised, why did this involve a deal again.

"That's right, this is a deal, one is you, and the other is the deal of the gods."

Hermes nodded in affirmation.

"Wait... what do gods mean?"

Lixiang suddenly became vigilant, why did this suddenly involve the gods, shouldn't this be simply a deal between him and Athena, or Hermes?

"No... don't be nervous, this is not a trap, it's just that we have encountered a little common trouble, you help the gods solve these troubles together, and I will give you the blood of Gorgon as a reward, which is very A fair deal, or employment relationship, isn't it?"

Hermes waved his hand, signaling Lixiang to be calm and not to be too impulsive, and at the same time explained patiently to facilitate Lixiang's understanding.

The "we" in his mouth does not refer to the gods of Olympus, but the gods and Lixiang as the two parties to the transaction, that is to say, Hermes has great confidence in the transaction itself. Sincerity, there is no element of conspiracy and calculation in it.

"........."

Lixiang stared at Hermes and remained silent, while Hermes faced Lixiang's eyes very frankly, and there was a sudden silence between the two of them.

"Then what's the trouble you're talking about?"

A few seconds later, Lixiang felt that he still needed to judge again, so he broke the deadlock and asked.

"The world, this world that deviates from our expectations unconsciously and gradually changes."

Hermes looked at the sunset slowly sinking into the sea at this moment, and said quietly.

Li Xiang frowned: "Don't tell me that all I need to do is destroy this world that I don't even know what went wrong."

"Of course the gods don't want to destroy the world. The world itself is beautiful, but it's a pity that such a beautiful flower was born in this rotten soil."

He sighed lightly, and there was some reference in the sigh.

"Actually, you have seen the mutation we are talking about several times. When you were in Didu Mengshan, and in the daytime today, you bravely killed the monster together."

"You mean those born of the earth and that monster..."

Li Xiang was still contemplating, but his face couldn't stop turning a little pale.

"That's right, but in fact, these two monsters are the sons of the earth, that is, the monsters born by Gaia."

"They can't stand it anymore, and they want to climb out of the abyss one by one. They start to cause damage, and they want to take everything occupied by life back into their pockets and restart the cycle of life."

"The monsters of these compatriots can't stand it anymore... Tell me, whose purpose is this? Whose idea?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Gai... Ya..."

Li Xiang frowned, and a name slowly sounded from his mouth.

"...That's right, [Gaia], the mother of the earth, gave birth to all living beings. This is the mutation itself that we need to face."

Hermes said, looking at the calm sea that was dyed red by the setting sun in front of him.

"Gaia is the mutation itself? What does this mean?"

Lixiang couldn't help recalling a very weird dream that he once had when he was in Orleans.

Gaia, and Alaya, the two major restraining forces on this planet seem to have discovered something in him, and they once materialized and wanted to erase their own existence.

But they were stopped by Theia and wiped them away.

Looking at it now, it is estimated that they were keenly aware of Theia's existence at that time, and wanted to wipe him out as soon as possible, but they did not expect to be killed by Theia.

Because of this matter, Li Xiang naturally didn't have a good attitude towards these two restraining forces, after all, he almost died in their hands.

Hermes turned his head and glanced at Lixiang, saw something in his eyes, and suddenly said, "You seem to have had contact with Gaia?"

"Well... it tried to kill me, but it didn't work."

Lixiang nodded, and briefly summarized what happened to him.

"Hmm~~ It seems that it discovered your existence a long time ago, is it trying to get rid of you?"

"Probably so, except that it didn't work out."

Li Xiang replied indifferently, but in fact, that dreamlike dream had an extremely profound impact on Li Xiang.

All the hard work I have done, all the pain I have encountered until the end is the insidious calculation from behind, this kind of unspeakable pain is the most uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I didn't exactly fight for them from the beginning.

"Hey... It's true, even the realization of the will of this planet can't be compared with the strongest God of Titans, let alone its substitute that came later."

Hermes is full of praise for the once strongest Titan god in the dark.

"Substitute...? What do you mean?"

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Is there more than one Gaia, but one race?"

"No, where's the exaggeration? It's too scary. Your thoughts are too divergent, right?"

Hermes glanced at Lixiang.

"If I suddenly find out one day that the gods are not gods like in the legend, but something like alien warships, no matter what kind of assumptions I make, it won't be an exaggeration."

Lixiang felt that she was the victim of being cheated, and couldn't help complaining.

"So, what do you mean that Gaia is a latecomer?"

"Literally, Gaia is the will of this planet, but it is not the only will produced after the birth of this planet, or in other words, Gaia is only the will produced by [the earth in this period]. "

"What about other wills?"

"It's 'dead', or to be more precise, it should be said to have died."

"...How many wills did the earth have?"

Li Xiang was silent for two seconds, and now the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Two, probably."

Hermes turned around, put his hands on the railing, and said casually: "After observation and calculation, when this planet was just born, there was still high-temperature magma everywhere on the crust, and there was no life at all. There was a will in the past, and the will of Gaia was probably produced after life appeared on this planet...that is, after the ancient eon."

"True or false... How come I've never heard of this theory before..."

Looking at Hermes' speech with a nose and eyes, Li Xiang believed a little bit, but still had some doubts.

"Because this is a conclusion drawn from our calculations and observations. Even if you came here from a time and space of heresy, it is estimated that the speed of human technological development will not reach our verification level so quickly."

"Why do your words lose any sense of mythology... Where's the evidence?"

"Strength, Gaia is too weak, so weak that it doesn't seem like the will that was born from the birth of the planet... I won't be able to explain the specific aspects here for a while, but there is probably no shortage of such information in your place. "

"what?"

"You (God Titans) came to this planet tens of thousands of years earlier than us (God Zeus), and this kind of information is in your [Tinder], even in your individual files. Yes."

Hermes said very flatly, he felt that this kind of thing was still a trivial matter for the Titans whose bodies still remained.

"It's impossible for me to know these things in a while... So, what is the specific content of the transaction?"

Li Xiang shook his head. Although it was a novelty that he had never come into contact with before, these things were still too far away for him, and he said that it would be better to be more realistic.

"Oh...that's true...Gaia keeps giving birth to all kinds of monsters and endowing them with divinity, in order to kill them, clean up the creatures on the surface, and kill us as outsiders Or banish the planet."

Hermes said.

"...is this Gaia's purpose? What good does it do it?"

"As an instinct of will, it may also be driven by subtle instincts like life. After all, it itself was born at the end of the Primordial Era. It may be that it wants to restore this planet to its lifeless state. What I want to do most."

"Uh...it seems to make sense..."

"The people born of the earth in Mount Didumon, and the monsters that appear directly in the sea now... Gaia can't help but want to extend its tentacles here, it is very likely that it is for the battle of the gods in the near future. Prepare."

"After all, we who live in Olympus are the biggest threat to it. As long as we are killed, then in this era, no one can compete with her as the mother of the earth. Then everything in the world For it, life is not something that can be destroyed casually."

Hermes said it was easy, but Lixiang and him were not easy.

And Lixiang also slowly realized what the strangeness that hadn't appeared in front of him for a long time in this era was the terrible enemy dormant in the abyss.

He and Matthew have been in this era for a year, but there has been no change or chaos of one kind or another. The longer this calm before the storm lasts, the more chaos it may cause.

And now, this heresy, which is enough to affect the development of the times, has finally appeared.

Although I don't know where the Demon God's Pillar and the Holy Grail are now, since the heresy has already appeared, their fundamental purpose is to distort the times. It will probably not be long before they are exposed.

In other words, his year-long heroic adventure may be coming to an end. There are no changes on the Argo in this era that can affect the development of the era. Maybe he should find a chance to get off the ship and start working on it. Prepare for what Hermes said to mention.

"Then what do I need to do?"

Having gradually realized that the situation in front of him is no longer a simple transaction, but the changes in this era itself, Li Xiang frowned and said.

"...Helping us defeat Gaia's side, that's about it."

Hermes could also see that Lixiang seemed to have become more active after understanding this matter, and nodded immediately.

"This is the content of the deal... As for now, I think you still need to stay on the Argo."

"Don't you need to go directly now?"

"Gaia is the will of the planet, that is, an existence like a leader. It will not be mobilized by itself, and what it uses to 'clean' this world is only the tentacles it extends to this world, that is, those sons of the earth. , the false gods who inherited the original divinity."

"The creatures born of the earth you have dealt with before, as well as the monsters in this sea are all gods of the earth created by Gaia, but they are only pioneers. The real tricky main force is Typhon, and there are several other legendary monsters. A hundred-armed giant."

"Does Typhon still have a hundred-armed giant..."

Lixiang murmured, this is a powerful monster well-known in the entire Greek mythology, even in legends, it is a terrifying existence no less powerful than Zeus, the king of the gods.

"Don't be too nervous, there is no news about Typhon and the others. Since they are the main force, Gaia will of course use them when it thinks it is most appropriate. Correspondingly, you don't need to go to Olympus so soon Get Gaia's attention."

"Wait...you mean... let me deal with Typhon and the others?!"

Lixiang was taken aback. The ghost knew what Hermes' "corresponding" meant, but according to his interpretation, didn't he put him in the same position as Typhon's super monsters? !

"...Well, you are Theia. According to legend, even among the twelve Titans, you are the undisputed strongest."

Hermes said naturally.

"........."
