Infinity through different life

Chapter 568 The only way to think is to kill!

PS: Half of the plot is included, but I deliberately waited until two o'clock to post it, because it is free and free, and this chapter is close to [-] words, and yesterday's is about the same.

Not everyone in the evil spirit clan believes in fate. Among them is a wise and powerful elder who has lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Everywhere in his body, except the soul is still his own, all other organs, flesh and blood have been taken away by others. Magic limbs replaced.

He took the initiative to stay and decided to follow Perseus to deal with Medusa.

And his actions finally restored the morale of the Argos warriors.

After everyone went down the mountain, under such circumstances, they did not set off immediately, but temporarily stationed at the foot of the mountain to rest for one night.

The next morning, while the others were still cleaning up, Perseus wandered around, but as he walked, he suddenly found a mysterious man with a hood following him. far away.

"who are you?"

He braced himself, drew his sword and stopped the opponent, his face full of vigilance.

The mysterious man stopped, lifted his hood, and looked at Perseus.

The first time he saw the other party, Perseus guessed the identity of the visitor. Although he never admitted that he was the son of Zeus, the resonance of his blood at this moment made him involuntarily agree with him.

"You can call me...Father." Zeus was wearing coarse cloth and looked like an ordinary person, "If you want..."

"My father is dead." Perseus tried hard to put aside the inexplicable sense of identity in his heart, and said coldly: "Killed by God!"

"Unfortunate sacrifice in a war brought on by man himself."

Zeus avoids the important and takes the easy. In his opinion, if human beings were not disloyal and overturned his idols, this kind of thing would not happen.

But Perseus disagreed, and gritted his teeth: "Humans didn't kill my family, it's your brother's good deed."

"You have heard the witch's prophecy, and you should know that you can't kill the sea monster, let alone deal with Hades." After all, he is his own son, Zeus persuaded: "If you insist on your own way, you will die, and Argos will still be destroyed."

Perseus was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Since you are so sure, why are you here?"

"Provide you with shelter." Zeus said in a deep voice: "You are my flesh and blood, so you are a god. You should go to Mount Olympus to live like a god."

Perseus shook his head and said: "I would rather return to the dust with humans than live forever like a god."

"Stupid!" Zeus was a little angry, "The entire human existence is due to my gift."

Perseus smiled: "As a god who created human beings, you know too little about us."

He put away his smile, took a step forward, and said word by word: "We coexist, fight, and even die, for each other, not for you."

"Tell Hades I'll come see him soon!"

He put his sword into its scabbard and spoke firmly.

"Then I won't give you asylum again."

"Very well, because I don't want to reject you twice."

Perseus turned and left.

"Wait." Zeus hesitated a little, but stopped Perseus. Seeing him stop and turn around, he smiled slightly, took out a strange gold coin from his body, and threw it over, "The passage you are going to go is very long. expensive."

Perseus caught the gold coin, and when he looked up again, he saw Zeus turned into a goshawk and flew into the sky.

He withdrew his gaze, and after thinking for a while, he put the gold coins away.

But after returning, he found that everyone's mood seemed to be a little wrong.

After a night of thinking, the two hunters who volunteered to follow the team when they set off, handed him a shield made of giant scorpion bones, and proposed to leave.

The other party had decided to go, and Perseus couldn't force him to stay, so he could only forcefully smile and send his blessings.

After the hunters left, everyone looked at each other, and the morale was extremely low.

Although they did not propose to leave again, no one has any confidence in this action.

"You heard what the witches said, but we can prove them wrong." Perseus looked at everyone and said sincerely: "I need your help."

This way, until now, apart from him, there is only one recruit who was taken care of because of his immaturity, and three old but experienced fighters, and the other fighters basically died on the way.

Adding in the elders of the evil spirit clan and the demigod Aio, there are only six people left in total.

Fortunately, these people did not disappoint Perseus, and expressed their willingness to continue to follow.

As a guide, Io knows the path to the underworld and the location of Medusa's lair.

The crowd set off again, and under the leadership of Aio, they crossed the Garden of the Styx and arrived at the entrance to the underworld before dark.

The underworld is underground, and the entrance is like a tiankeng in the wasteland, but the tiankeng is filled with thick white mist, even if it is close at hand, it is impossible to see what it looks like below.

Aio led the crowd and found a hidden passage in the mist. This passage was obliquely downward, leading to the depths of the tiankeng.

They moved forward all the way and came to a simple pier.

The pier is made of wood, with eternal torches burning on both sides. There is a diffuse white mist in front, and the sound of running water can be faintly heard.

This is the entrance to the edge of the Styx River, the only passage for mortals to go to the underworld after death.

"What should we do now?"

When they got here, everyone looked at Aio.

Ai O said lightly: "Wait for the crossing god Karon."

"Caron only transports the dead." Zhuogula pulled out his scimitar, turned around and asked, "Are there any volunteers?"

All he could think of was that if someone in the team died here, Karon would naturally appear to extradite the dead soul.

Perseus held the gold coin given by Zeus in his hand, thinking about what the other party said when he left, but he couldn't figure out how to use it.

He was also unwilling to let people sacrifice themselves to lure out Caron. In the end, he could only throw up the gold coins and said helplessly: "Let's swim over."

Before the others could react, the elder of the evil spirit clan next to him took a step forward, caught the falling gold coin, and then threw the gold coin into the River Styx under the inexplicable gaze of the others.

Kaka Kaka~!

The next moment, there was a slight sound of planks in the Styx River, and then an old wooden boat approached the pier, pulled by a group of humanoid monsters swimming underwater.

"This is a bribe for the usher."

Now everyone understood, and there was a strange look in the eyes that looked at Perseus.

The gold coins used by humans obviously cannot summon Charon, so the origin of this gold coin is worth considering.

Although Perseus didn't say anything, and didn't want to say anything, everyone present guessed what it was.

Perseus felt helpless. Along the way, he rejected the divine sword that fell from the sky, refused to pray to Zeus for strength when he was injured, and even rejected the temptation to go to Mount Olympus to become a member of the gods, but here, After all, I couldn't refuse the favor of gold coins.

Kalon was a tall, mummified man. He held a paddle and scanned the people on the pier with his empty eyes, and then motioned for everyone to get on the boat.

He loves money so much that even after ordinary mortals die, they need to bribe him with gold coins in order to be led across the River Styx.

As for living people, he would not be able to transport them, but the gold coins he got this time contained powerful divine power, so he was willing to make an exception for this reason.

After Perseus and the others got on the boat and said their destination, Caron drove towards Medusa's lair without hesitation.

After arriving on the ship, Aio told everyone the story of Medusa, and began to teach Perseus how to deal with Medusa.

As a woman and a cursed demigod, she could not enter Medusa's prison, so she could only teach Perseus everything she knew.

Although there was little hope, and even the witch predicted that they would die, she believed that there must be a turning point for Perseus, the son of destiny.

The distance is very short, just in the middle of the teaching, the ferry arrives at the prison island where Medusa is.

This is a deserted island with scorching steam, dry trees, jagged rocks and collapsed buildings everywhere.

Everyone went ashore and searched all the way to the only cave on the mountain wall.

When they got here, they had already determined that the legendary Medusa was probably inside.

The blood in Perseus' body destined him to be a natural warrior. Before coming here, he was a fisherman who could only fish, but along the way, he has learned how to fight and how to use the power of his blood.

And after seeing the witch, he even became the leader of this team,

"I know we're all scared, but my dad used to say that there's a day when someone has to step up, a day where someone has to say 'enough is enough' and that's the day."

Perseus inspired everyone, and finally concluded: "Trust your feelings, don't look into that bitch's eyes."

As he spoke, he turned around, drew his sword and held his shield, and was the first to walk towards the cave, followed by everyone except Ai'o.

Xu Jing in the cave discovered these people when they arrived, and naturally heard what Perseus said.

"Bitch?"

He frowned tightly, the blood in his body suddenly boiled, and there was an inexplicable anger and unwillingness in his heart.

This was obviously Medusa's resentment, even after being dealt with systematically, it still penetrated deep into her blood, making Xu Jing, who had occupied the opponent's body, deeply feel this hatred and pain.

He originally planned to help and join hands with Perseus, using his identity as the child of destiny to complete his mission.

But after hearing the other party's words and causing the riot of Medusa's residual resentment, he suddenly changed his mind.

This moment, that moment, and before, Xu Jing might find reasons to persuade himself, or even ignore the past. After all, what happened to Medusa was not something he experienced personally, and he also has enough strength to suppress and eliminate the resentment in his body. Because of this discomfort, I made my task more difficult.

But now that his cultivation, especially his soul, has reached the third level, he can no longer ignore this situation. What he pursues now is more understanding of thoughts.

What did Medusa do wrong?
In fact she did nothing wrong, but was a real victim.

She is all over the country, with black hair that is as smooth as water, and countless men want to take her as their own.

But as a priestess of Athena, the goddess of war, she could not marry. She had sworn to remain chaste and serve the goddess wholeheartedly.

However, when Medusa was most helpless, the goddess she served acted like a turtle, and even turned her into a monster and imprisoned her in the underworld.

Over the past countless years, the outside world has been spreading legends about how evil and terrifying she is, how she is lascivious, and who else knows her grievances and anger.

Xu Jing can still understand that human warriors who don't know the truth come to attack Medusa. Those people may be for fame or profit, and of course some want to eliminate harm for the people.

However, Xu Jing, who has watched the movie for Perseus and his group, knows very well that these people all learned the truth from Aiona.

If it was just a difference of stand, he would still understand and even turn an enemy into a friend in order to save Argos against him, but the phrase "bitch" made his thoughts completely illogical.

"What about the child of destiny?"

A killing intent rose in Xu Jing's heart.

He regards Perseus as the child of destiny, but not just because the other party is the protagonist of the movie.

After traveling to the world related to these western gods several times, and also being a god himself, Xu Jing has become more and more familiar with the development history of western gods.

From Gaia at the beginning of Chaos, to the Titans of later generations, to monsters with complicated bloodlines and various gods who rely on faith to become gods and gain the authority of laws, it has basically been on the decline.

From Xu Jing's point of view, when the universe is first opened, it is like a newborn baby. Although it has no self-awareness, it will instinctively protect itself.

And the way this world protects itself is first of all to breed innate gods.

These innate gods are themselves the incarnation of one or more laws of heaven and earth, representing the existence of heaven and earth.

For example, Gaia, the mother of the earth, conceived from the chaos, she is the heaven and the earth, she gave birth to Uranus at her fingertips, and took away the right to control the sky, that is, the deification of the sky.

In addition, the same is true for the ocean Pontos and the mountain Uria that she bred. The birth of each child will become the embodiment of some kind of cosmic law.

In this process, Gaia itself will become weaker and weaker, but for heaven and earth, this process is the perfection of itself, because some laws do not originally exist, but when two gods with different laws combine, they are born When it comes to new life, it may represent some kind of new law.

The more laws there are and the more complete they are, the more perfect and powerful the universe will be.

However, when the laws of the world are perfected to a certain extent, heaven and earth will realize the harm of these innate gods to themselves, because these gods are too destructive and cannot be restrained.

So the heaven and the earth acted like an anti-virus, creating all kinds of disasters or accidents, causing the innate gods to fall one by one.

After death, the authority controlled by the innate gods will be returned to the heaven and earth, further strengthening the heaven, earth and universe.

Then the universe will separate out some weaker authorities, that is, godheads that are weaker than the innate gods, and choose spokespersons to manage them.

In Xu Jing's view, although the universe has no consciousness, it operates instinctively to create innate gods or believe in gods. It's like raising pigs and killing pigs, generation after generation, and so on. The purpose is to improve and strengthen oneself. .

When the laws of heaven, earth and the universe are perfected to the limit, that is the end of the age of Dharma, and there is no need for any gods in the world, and all natural operations will have a definite number.

The reason why Xu Jing thinks Perseus is the Child of Destiny is not just because he is the protagonist of the movie.

Throughout the entire Clash of the Gods and even the subsequent two Wrath of the Gods movies, the existence of Perseus itself is the darling of the world at this stage, and his luck is in his body.

The mission of Perseus is actually to end the age of the gods through his hands.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The final outcome is that all the gods fell, and the only remaining Hades lost his power, but Perseus himself had no idea about becoming a god, and even hated it, and returned to the ranks of mortals.

Since then, humans have multiplied and multiplied on the earth, and finally became the new masters.

This is the best result that this world and the universe want.

Xu Jing guessed that maybe one day, when the universe of heaven and earth realizes the danger of human beings, it will activate the anti-virus system again to wipe out human beings.

After that, new intelligent life and new races may be born, and the cycle repeats.

Maybe one day, in the endless years, the universe of heaven and earth will give birth to a true self-awareness and become a truly eternal and powerful life.

"It's so far away."

Xu Jing didn't think too much anymore, what he wanted to do most now was to make his thoughts clear.

And the simplest and most effective way is to kill all the humans who enter the lair.

There was no grievance between the two parties, since the other party came to kill him, and he still knew the truth and insulted him mercilessly, why should he compromise.

Destiny's Child also grew up step by step and was constantly watched by Tiandi, but Tiandi never put all the apples in one basket.

The death of Perseus, who has not received much attention, will not cause too much backlash.

What's more, there is a picture of Perseus and his party dying in the hands of Medusa in history. Only when he succeeds is the beginning of becoming the child of destiny.

Xu Jing sneered, and made a thorough decision, without hiding his intentions at all, and directly swam towards Perseus and the others.
