Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 186 The "Civilized" Sphere of Helios

"It seems like the Olympian gods of the big world will definitely win." Odin, the godfather of the mafia, is indeed a veteran. Even if the other party does not say it explicitly, he can make an accurate judgment from the expression and tone of voice.

"Is it certain to win? Maybe!" Lin You did not comment.

For Zeus, seeing through the conspiracy in advance and catching all the traitors would be a big win if he succeeded. But for the Olympian gods, this "victory" might not be a victory.

The loss of half or even more of the main gods established Zeus' absolute authority, but it inevitably severely weakened the power of the Olympian pantheon.

Odin seemed not to have understood the author's implication, and sighed, "Looking back, if there hadn't been an insider in the Great World's Mount Olympus, the native gods of the God of War World would never have been able to rival the Great World. No, to be exact, we don't even have the qualifications to be rivals."

"So, you have also imagined the possibility of becoming a rival in the big world?"

"You are too aggressive, Mr. Writer." Odin yelled in dissatisfaction, "From the first moment we met, you were on guard against me and full of hostility."

Lin You disagreed and said, "Perhaps it's because I shouldn't have met you at this time and place, Lord Odin. It's not that I doubt you, but you put yourself in a suspicious position."

"Ah, it seems I really should leave." Odin laughed exaggeratedly. "Although your words are unpleasant, I can also hear that you are a fair and objective writer. Otherwise, you would not say such things."

"Thank you for the compliment, it's just my duty." The writer responded calmly, and his attitude did not change because of Odin's praise.

At this moment, a painful wail suddenly came from the workshop, startling Odin and Lin You outside. The blazing sun shone through the doors and windows of the workshop, and everything the light touched was burned by the high temperature and flames, and many places turned to ashes in an instant.

For a moment, the workshop seemed to have turned into a furnace; flames were blazing inside, and heat waves were rolling around. The high-temperature flames were not blocked by the marble material of the building, but penetrated every corner of the nearby houses and the ground.

More and more buildings were on fire inside and outside, and many people hiding nearby fled away crying.

The wailing in the workshop also continued in the heat wave, shrill and tragic; this sound even broke through the limitations of the physical level and struck the soul directly. The pain and fear of the same kind shook every god present at the divine level - even including the writer.

Lin You identified the voice carefully. It did not belong to the hoarse and rough God of Fire, nor to the old Daedalus, but a young voice. Then he knew what was going on.

After a while, the wailing stopped abruptly at a certain moment; but the light coming through the doors and windows did not disappear, but continued for a long time before gradually dimming and disappearing.

Heavy footsteps were heard from the door of the workshop. Not only did Lin You turn his head to look, but even Odin, who was about to leave, stopped and stared at the door.

The one who came out was the God of Fire Hephaestus. He was in low spirits, with a look of deep sorrow and reluctance on his face, and occasionally a bit of dissatisfaction and resentment. He dragged his heavy steps to Lin You and handed him a golden ball the size of a baby's fist.

The glittering light reminded the writer of the gem hanging on Minerva's chest. However, he did not rush to observe the sphere, but asked, "Was that the voice just now Helios?"

Hephaestus snorted and nodded reluctantly.

"I thought He was dead." Lin You was very surprised. "Helios is indeed dead." The God of Fire said in a muffled voice, "but there is still a part of His consciousness left in His head."

Lin You asked again: "Where is Daedalus?"

The god of fire replied: "Helios's wailing was so miserable that it frightened him."

"You also said that it wasn't Helios, but just a remnant of consciousness. You don't have to put on a sour face for this, right?" Lin You said nonchalantly, "Helios was shot and killed by Apollo of the big world; shouldn't the victim avenge himself?"

Hephaestus was obviously not good at speaking, and he didn't know how to answer. He could only say fiercely: "We have already complied with your request, you..."

"I know. I remember all the conditions I agreed to and I won't forget them." Lin You interrupted the other party and concentrated on looking at the golden ball in his hand.

Judging from the feel, this is not a gem, but more like amber fossil or hardened gel. But if you use your divine sense to explore it, you will find that this touch is a complete illusion.

The essence of this sphere is a kind of energy, a product of energy materialization, but it does not belong to any known substance.

Looking through the translucent sphere, one can vaguely see a skull in the center of the sphere, which seems real and illusory.

Lin You input a little bit of microcosm into the sphere, and the skull shone brightly the moment it came into contact with the microcosm.

The golden sunlight shines out unhindered through the outer layer of matter, and as more light is input into the small universe, the light becomes brighter; in the end, it is like holding a small sun in the palm of your hand.

"That skull is the head of Helios, and the outer layer of matter is actually the product of the materialization of a part of the divine power, right?" Lin You said his guess, "It's a very clever idea; the divine power material can protect the skull inside, and at the same time, because of the same properties, it will not prevent more divine power from being transmitted from the inside."

"It was Daedalus' idea." The God of Fire only added this sentence and didn't say anything else; this shows that Lin You's guesses were all correct.

"I am very satisfied." Lin You solemnly put away the "Sphere of Helios".

Although it was only a god in the game world, Helios truly possessed the divinity of the sun god. The sun's rays had a natural restraining effect on all dark creatures and magic, and could still be effective even in the big world.

"You and Daedalus can choose to wait here, or you can leave Mount Olympus on your own. I only have one request, that you stop getting involved in the disputes among the gods on the mountain. Otherwise, all the conditions I promised will be void."

"Of course you should be satisfied; compared to carrying a bloody head directly, this is indeed a lot more 'civilized'." Hephaestus did not hide his emotions. He sneered and walked back to the workshop without looking back.

The writer turned around and smiled at Odin, saying, "You can see that I am not always fair and objective. Sometimes, I will seek some benefits for myself and do favors for others."

"Then I hope that one day, we can also gain your favor, Mr. Writer." Odin revealed the tone of a "man of the world" at the right time.
