Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 172 Don't be afraid, it won't hurt much
This question is more dangerous than any of the previous ones, and it also determines the overall answers and whether Apollo himself can gain trust.

Logically, the answer to such a question must be carefully considered, but Apollo hardly thought about it; "Because I had a bad feeling from the beginning. I don't think my father's plan can succeed."

"Premonition?" Lin You sneered, "Are you planning to steal the job of the goddess of fate?"

"Isn't the fate of the goddess of fate already determined? Who dares to talk about fate?" Apollo said with a wry smile, "Perhaps, I should put it another way; the so-called premonition is more like an intuition."

Lin You did not continue to laugh at the other party. As a writer for more than two years, he had encountered many similar situations; most of the gods in the story world had a similar sense of powerlessness towards fate.

After all, not every god has the determination and courage of Asclepius.

"Where did your intuition come from? Was it because your sister Athena spoke out against it, or because the Titans fought back?"

Apollo shook his head. "I can't really say for sure, but my intuition and foresight are always accurate. You can just treat it as some kind of superstition. Anyway, I don't think much of my father's plan, but I don't have the courage of Athena."

"So you want to use your cooperative attitude to exchange for preferential treatment from me afterwards?" Lin You asked sarcastically.

Apollo asked back, "Is it not possible? I can see that you are not opposed to our native gods; otherwise Athena would not have lent Pegasus to you."

"First of all, I want to emphasize that this Pegasus was given to me, not borrowed." Lin You poked the scepter next to Apollo's head. Without the golden snake, the scepter became bare. "It's not impossible to treat him preferentially afterwards. Have you heard of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist?"

"What else do you want to know? I've already told you everything I know."

"There are some things you didn't say," Lin You looked down at him, "For example, where is Zeus of the big world trapped, and how can I find him? Or is there any way to destroy this magic circle? Athena doesn't want to participate in the conspiracy and doesn't know much about the details, but you should know."

At this point, Apollo had nothing to hide and said bluntly: "I don't understand the operation of the magic circle, but I know how to trap Zeus of the big world. Ares gave us a huge cage, which is said to be made of bronze used to build the gates of Tartarus. It has a unique shape and can be disguised as a palace to trick Zeus into entering."

"Hehe...it's really full of Olympus mythology-style tricks." Lin You laughed in silence, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

In Olympus mythology, Tartarus is the abyss of hell where the Titans were exiled. The bronze gate and other blockade measures there were built by Poseidon, the god of the sea, and were managed by Hades, the god of the underworld.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Poseidon and Hades stayed in the big world and did not follow Zeus to the God of War world to help; but in the God of War world, there was a cage made of the same material waiting for Zeus.

There seem to be a lot of things here that I can’t think about in detail?
The distracting thoughts in my mind did not stop the writer from continuing to ask: "How can I open the cage?"

"I really don't know about that." Apollo said frankly, "The cage is controlled by my father himself, and only He knows how to use it; but...if you want Kratos to kill the gods, you must let him in, right?"

"Very good. Do you have any other suggestions?" The writer was ready to end the conversation. "If you have any, please speak up. The more you say, the better it will be for you in the future."

The persuasive tone was very much like that of the pre-trial officers of some law enforcement agencies.

"My sister." Apollo really had something to say, "Artemis; He also disagrees with father's plan. Believe me, when you see Him, you can talk to Him, and perhaps you can get more help from Him."

"It's not enough for you, and you want to get preferential treatment for others?" Lin You did not comment, "I'll think about it if it really helps." "Of course, He will definitely help you." Apollo vowed.

"Anything else to say?"

Apollo thought about it carefully and finally shook his head. Perhaps it was just as He said, because he was not deeply involved in the plan, he did not know too much about the inside story.

"Well, now that I have said this, please go and die!"

"What?" Apollo was shocked. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward in destroying the bridge after crossing it.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Lin You said kindly, "It's not real 'death', it's just letting you sleep. When it's over, there will be a chance to wake you up. The same goes for your uncle Poseidon. I left him in the care of your sister Athena."

"But...but I already..."

"But what? Are you trying to say that I've been very cooperative?" Lin You waved his hand and said, "Okay, we're not kids anymore. How embarrassing it is to talk about trust? For me, the best way is to make sure you don't have the chance to do anything bad behind my back. For you, you should be overjoyed to be able to save your life. You can't ask for more, right?"

"No, writer, actually I...I..." Apollo stuttered for a long time but didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt much." Lin You encouraged the other party with a smile, and at the same time opened the dimensional space, allowing a large purple-black snake to crawl out.

Due to the enormous pressure of the magic circle, the black snake swam abnormally slowly, and even the movement of raising its head seemed very difficult, which made Apollo's torment before execution doubly long.

With one bite, the overbearing god-killing poison entered his body; compared to the suppression that Lin You and the poisonous snake suffered in the magic circle, the speed at which the snake venom spread in the god's body was not affected much. In fact, because Apollo's own divine power was restrained, the time for the poison to take effect was actually accelerated.

Seeing Apollo's body gradually stiffening and his eyes, which had been flickering with light, completely losing their luster, Lin You retracted the two snakes and prepared to continue his journey.

At this moment, the world before my eyes suddenly darkened, the sun lost its light, dark clouds covered the sky, and it seemed that all the light in nature dimmed and disappeared in an instant.

This was a direct consequence of the death of Helios and the slumber of Apollo, like the unnatural sunset over Mount Olympus in the greater world.

"Looks like I have to speed up." Lin You raised his foot to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back to the broken chariot; the golden snake suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit Helios' neck frantically, and soon tore off the other's head.

Enduring the pungent smell of blood, Lin You saw the rich sunlight coming from the eyes and mouth of the head. He sent some of the energy of the small universe over there, and suddenly the light became brighter, illuminating half of the sky.

The writer nodded with satisfaction.

“It seems to work.”
