Yang Cheng did not expect it to be that god.
According to Yang Cheng's understanding, other than the Twelve Gods, there were actually countless other gods. However, as time went on, almost all the gods had gradually died out except for the Twelve Gods. There were also some who, like the previous Pluto, had lived for too long and had no interest in life, so they had long abandoned their self-consciousness and did not choose to reincarnate.
"The two brothers of Pluto, the Goddess of Night Nyx, are also known as the 'Twin Gods.' Thanatos, the God of Death, and Hypnos, the God of Sleep. I believe that Your Majesty Pluto should be very familiar with these two gods even if you haven't personally taught them. Although their artifacts can't be compared to the 'Helmet of Invisibility' originally owned by the first Lord Hades, they are definitely not ordinary goods, "Sauron said solemnly.
Yang Cheng pondered for a while and said, "The Sword of Thanatos … It is said that as long as the sword touches any part of a human's body, even if it cuts off a strand of hair, it can immediately suck away the person's soul. In the current myths, Thanatos would cut off a strand of hair of a dying person and take away the person's soul when they were asleep. It is considered to be more realistic. However, I have not seen the sword before. As far as I know, Thanatos has disappeared for nearly a thousand years like most other gods. Why would the sword appear here? "
Sauron said, "This matter itself is very sudden. The current owner of the sword is actually the French External Security Service. However, the French did not reveal the source of the sword. They only said that through this secret meeting, they would find a good home for the sword. After all, the French do not have a strong enough special force. In the field of international special forces, they are not too competitive. Therefore, if they did not have the 'Sword of Thanatos' as a bargaining chip this time, they would not have gathered the elites and representatives of so many organizations in Paris. "
"I was wondering … how was it possible for the French Security Bureau to gather the entire world here? Even if Apollo and the Realm of Gods wreaked havoc all over the world, the first person they wanted to kill would be the French President. It wouldn't be France's turn." Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Before I came to Paris this time, the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade's representative mentioned the secret meeting, but they didn't mention the Sword of Thanatos. I think they don't want me to fight with them for it. They're really thoughtful. Are they afraid that I'll just take the divine artifact away? "
"It's highly possible. After all, Your Excellency is currently residing in Hua Xia. Any action that you take could put Hua Xia's Yellow Flame Iron Brigade under more pressure," Sauron said.
Yang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm actually not that interested in the sword, but … if that sword is real, then even if I don't fight for it, I have to see it live."
"Why? Your Excellency Pluto can totally retrieve that sword." Sauron was puzzled and asked, "That's a divine artifact that belongs to the God of Death. It's more than appropriate to return the God of Death's weapon to you now that you've become Pluto. Although I don't know if it's real or not, since so many organizations have gathered here, it's definitely not groundless. If Your Excellency Pluto thinks that it's too troublesome to deal with the small fries, I can totally send the sea eagles to deal with them quickly. "
"You won't understand. To me, the divine artifact isn't that useful anymore." Yang Cheng waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't interested. After all, he had almost completely grasped the divine power of the Lord God's use of the Law of Space. The only thing that made Yang Cheng feel that there was room for improvement was the mysterious world that he had yet to comprehend after entering the Innate Realm from the ninth stage of the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, "Rebirth".
In addition, in Yang Cheng's mind, the mysterious person who suddenly tore apart space and stole the divine power from the Holy Grail when they were fighting for it previously appeared in his mind.
If this Sword of Thanatos was real, would that guy … appear again?
The God's Stone was taken away by a guy whose background was completely unknown. Although Yang Cheng wasn't as persistent as Ares to get it back, he still felt a sense of shame from being fooled.
"Solon, where is the location of the secret meeting tomorrow night?" Yang Cheng looked at the ship in the distance and asked casually.
"It's at Le Havre, on the super cruise ship Louis XVI at the port. The ship will start boarding at nine o 'clock and then sail to an uninhabited island. That island is a secret training base for the French military," Solon said.
"Le Havre? Isn't that near the English Channel? It's about two and a half hours from here. "Yang Cheng frowned.
Solon nodded. "Yes, Your Excellency. However, this is actually understandable. After all, it's a gathering of all kinds of special people from all over the world. It's hard to guarantee that they won't fight for something or for the Sword of Thanatos. If the meeting is held in Paris or other big cities, it'll be a big problem whether it's for cover or fighting. "
Yang Chen shrugged. "Maybe. I got it. I'll go take a look tomorrow night. I'm sure you'll be invited too."
Solon said, "Yes, but if Your Excellency Pluto is here, I'll be more than willing to give up my seat."
"There's no need for that. You can handle this kind of meeting as you see fit. I'll look for you after strolling around. Do what you need to do. Don't put your attention on me just because I'm there, and don't mention me to the people from other organizations," Yang Chen said with flagging interest.
Solon seemed to feel helpless about Yang Cheng's temper. He sighed and said, "Your Excellency Pluto, you've really changed a lot in the two years since you returned to Hua Xia."
Yang Cheng chuckled. "If I've changed, so be it. It's good this way. I can live my life in peace and occasionally deal with some troublesome matters. Although I used to live passionately, I'll get tired of it after a while. I'm sure you've had these thoughts a long time ago, Solon. "
A rare smile appeared on Solon's chiseled face as he nodded.
Yang Cheng shook his head. "Solon, your smile is so ugly. That hasn't changed, tsk tsk …"
…
At the same time, in the northwest of Paris, at the port of Le Havre, a silver-white cruise ship with a height of 50 to 60 meters and a length of two and a half football fields, the Louis XVI, was quietly docked on the shore.
Outside the entrance of the cruise, a long ladder that extended to the shore was covered in a red carpet, with fresh bouquets of flowers on both sides. The local residents did not know that the guests the cruise was welcoming this time were not tourists like in the past, but a special group of people who lived outside the public's perception.
At this moment, Depney, dressed in casual clothes, was walking down the stairs from the cruise, accompanied by Deputy Director Fodessa and a few other officials of the Seventh Bureau.
Depney turned to look at the luxurious cruise ship and asked, "The Sword of Thanatos has been transported to the island base, right?"
"Yes, it's being guarded by our anti-spy team. A destroyer escorted it to the base, and it's being closely guarded," Fodessa replied solemnly.
Depney nodded. "Yes, there can't be any mistakes. As long as the Sword of Thanatos is in our hands, the outcome of the conference will definitely be beneficial to us. "
Fodessa frowned with a complicated expression. After some hesitation, he asked, "Director, when did we get the sword? Why haven't I heard about it before?"
"Hmph," Depney sneered. "Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can know everything about the Seventh Bureau just because you're a deputy director? Fodessa, do your job well. I'll be in the temporary base in Le Havre to host the conference tomorrow night. As for the work on the island, you have to be careful. There can't be any mistakes! "
Fodessa was stunned. "Director, you're not going to the island?"
"Nonsense! If I were to host the conference, why would I need you as a deputy director?! In a few years, I'll have to retire to the second line of work. It's not every year that I get the experience of hosting a conference like this. What, you don't want the chance? "Depney asked coldly.
Fodessa hurriedly shook his head. "I understand. Thank you, director, for your guidance!"
Depney's expression turned slightly better. He left with a few of his men.
After Depney and his men had left, Bolten, who had been following behind Fodessa, came forward and whispered angrily, "Deputy director, the director's decision is obviously because he's afraid of the members of the various organizations on the island. He's pushed you into the eye of the storm. If there's any argument, you'll definitely be in danger. Furthermore, the responsibility of guarding the Sword of Thanatos has fallen on your shoulders. This is too despicable. How could he do this to you?! "
Fodessa glared at Bolten. "Shut up. You can't talk about the director behind his back like this."
Bolten could only swallow his anger and nodded.
Fodessa turned around and gazed at the azure sea. "Actually, although the director said that with the Sword of Thanatos, we'll be able to take the initiative in this conference. However, I've always felt that this conference shouldn't be organized by us at all. Although the treasure is in our hands, it doesn't mean that we have the ability to protect it. Why don't we hand it over to England and America, who were also attacked by Apollo, and have our assistance? That's a better choice. "
"Is it because England has the 'Sword in the Stone' and America has the 'Blue Storm'?" Bolten raised his eyes and said bitterly, "Compared to them, we're indeed too weak."
Fodessa closed his eyes and said, "Regardless of whether this decision is right or wrong, since the conference will be held tomorrow night, we can only try our best to treat it well. Although the elites of the various countries are powerful, they won't be the first to stand out due to their fear of each other. As long as we make good use of this, we'll definitely be able to reap the benefits. I only hope that the Sword of Thanatos will be able to bring us sufficient benefits in the process of discussing how to deal with the Realm of God. "
Fodessa muttered to himself. His grayish-blue eyes gazed at the distant skyline, as if he was deep in thought.
