Mount Etna
At the top of the mountain, the snow never melted, and thick smoke billowed from the top. From time to time, there was a dull sound, which was the sound of gas being ejected.
This was an active volcano, erupting lava from time to time. Looking down through the thick smoke, one could see the fiery red lava rolling and bubbling.
At this time, there was a black shadow in the lava, which looked like a giant.
The giant had a hundred snake heads, feathers all over his body, and a pair of wings. He spat out a snake's tongue, and his eyes were spitting fire. It was the king of beasts, Typhon. He was also a member of the Titan race.
Typhon had once fought fiercely with Zeus and was Zeus' sworn enemy. Zeus had blasted Typhon to the brink of death with thunder and finally suppressed him on Mount Alterna.
Years of imprisonment did not extinguish his ambition. He always wanted to attack Mount Olympus and pull the gods down from their altar.
At this moment, he was bowing to a small veiled goddess. Compared to him, who was a hundred meters tall, the goddess was less than two meters tall, as small as a bean. But the giant was respectful and devout.
If the female demons in the forest saw this, they would not believe that their father would be so respectful to a woman.
In the eyes of Typhon's children, their father was omnipotent, even daring to challenge the gods.
"Don't bow. If you cause the mountain to shake, the gods will find out," the veiled woman said.
Typhon did not do things secretly. He had done some small things behind the back, which were all discovered by the gods. This time, she had taken a risk by coming here.
If it were not for Typhon's eagerness this time and the high price he paid, she would not have come here to meet Typhon.
"Tell me, why did you pay such a high price to see me?"
"Great mother."
As soon as the giant opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the mysterious woman. "I am not Gaia. If I were her, I would not come to see you so easily. She is under the supervision of the gods, especially Zeus."
"No, mother, although I do not know why you are a phantom, I can feel the connection of the origin of blood. No one can cheat," Typhon said.
The mysterious woman did not interrupt or refute. She just remained silent.
"Mother, please help me. I need your help," Typhon said respectfully. Typhon said respectfully. He had been suppressed for many years, and his strength had declined to the extreme. He could only turn to his mother, Gaia.
"Typhon, what can I help you with?" Asked the mysterious woman. She knew that although Typhon was suppressed in Mount Etna all year round, his children were everywhere. Many things could be entrusted to his children.
From the previous incidents, especially the recent siren incident in Tenedos in the Aegean Sea, the mysterious woman knew that it was caused by Typhon's children.
And at this time, Typhon did not look for his children to solve the problem, but paid a huge price to ask for her help. This somewhat moved her. It must be known that Gaia was the main body of the earth, and the world could not be separated from her. But at the same time, several upheavals were related to her. Although she still enjoyed the glory, the new Gods were closely watching and even monitoring her.
And because of Typhon's rebellion and his relationship with Gaia, he was constantly under the surveillance of the Gods. If he was not careful, he might be discovered by the Gods.
The mysterious woman was very curious. What kind of matter was worth Tifeng mobilizing so many people?
"Mother, I feel a treasure, a treasure that is very important to me. I am now sure that this treasure is in Troy. It has radiated a signal several times, so I can feel it."
The hot magma kept rolling, and from time to time, there was a burst of bubbles. The rolling smoke seemed to be thicker than before, which reflected the excitement in Typhon's heart at the moment. He continued, "Mother, I can't go out. Please help me get it. I can feel that with it, I can be extremely powerful, and I can even help you defeat the Gods."
The mysterious woman laughed, obviously amused by Typhon's words.
"Defeat the Gods?"
How could the Gods be defeated so easily? A treasure could defeat the Gods. If Typhon was used to overthrow them, the Gods would have long attacked Mount Olympus.
"Typhon, you are not even the weakest God now. How dare you say such big words." The mysterious woman did not care about Typhon's thoughts at all. She poured cold water on him. "Now, let alone Dionysus, even the poor Hercules, who was banished as soon as he went up the mountain, can defeat you. Do you think that you can defeat the gods just because you got the treasure? Do you think I will believe that?"
"Mother, please believe me. I can feel it. As long as I get it, I can defeat everything, even Zeus."
Typhon was obviously full of confidence in the unknown treasure, and repeatedly begged the mysterious woman to help him get it.
Some time ago, Typhon sent a female demon to Tenedos in the Aegean Sea to find the treasure. Although they did not find it, many were killed by Pei Zi Yun, and a powerful sea demon was lost.
But every time a powerful monster was lost, there would be a short fluctuation. Recently, it appeared twice in Troy, and confirmed its position. With his strength that had declined to the extreme, it was impossible to break through the suppression of the Gods and obtain it. Therefore, Typhon could only ask his mother for help.
"Well, since you are begging, I will promise you. However, to get this treasure, you have to sacrifice more descendants."
The mysterious woman said.
"That's easy." Typhon readily agreed. He did not have much, but his descendants were all over the world, so many that he did not know how many there were.
Thinking that the treasure would soon be in his possession, and then use it to counterattack Mount Olympus, defeat the Gods, and defeat Zeus, Typhon felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
The black giant shadow kept swimming in the hot magma, stirring the fiery red magma. From time to time, it splashed on the surrounding rock walls, stirring up sparks.
"A God is coming." The mysterious woman looked at his excitement, as if looking at a pet that did not know the inside story. She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be that treasure.
Typhon, this treasure is meaningless to you now.
It was just that this was the arrangement of fate, and she did not want to reveal it. She looked around, suddenly said, and quickly disappeared, as if she had never appeared.
Typhon also knew that this was a critical period, and he could not alert the enemy. After the mysterious woman's reminder, he quickly quieted down.
The hot magma returned to calmness. Occasionally, a few bubbles surfaced on the surface, but they quickly burst and disappeared.
The next moment, a young man with a twin-snake cane appeared. The small wings behind his ears and on his feet flapped rapidly, and then slowly relaxed.
Just now, it was Hermes who had rushed to Mount Alterna from Mount Olympus.
Mount Alterna was still the same as before, with black smoke and rolling magma. After a careful inspection, he did not find anything wrong. He frowned and thought, "I feel something wrong. Is it here?"
But he did not find anything wrong around him. Just now, when he was on Mount Olympus, he clearly felt a slight movement on Mount Alterna.
Hermes again carefully inspected the top and bottom of Mount Alterna several times, but still found nothing. Hermes shook his head, feeling that he was making a fuss. He flapped his wings and disappeared into the distance.
Watching Hermes disappear, Typhon wanted to speak, but a voice came into his heart, "Shut up!"
This made Typhon's heart skip a beat. He knew that his mother was reminding him that the gods were not far away.
Sure enough, after a while, Hermes appeared on the top of Mount Alterna again, murmuring, "Is there really nothing wrong?"
Hermes was very disappointed. He glanced at Typhon, who was suppressed on Mount Alterna with disgust, and sneered at Typhon, "Stupid, ugly Typhon, if it were not for fate that arranged you into a historical process, if it were not for your mother, Gaia, I would have killed you long ago."
After that, he flapped his wings and disappeared again.
For the gods of Mount Olympus, Typhon was now too weak to be taken seriously. Not to mention Hermes himself, any god could suppress Typhon.
Hermes still paid attention to Typhon from time to time, worried that Gaia was behind him, so as soon as he felt a trace of movement, he quickly rushed over to check.
But Hermes did not find any clues and returned empty-handed.
After a while, the mysterious woman showed up. She looked around and said to Typhon, "He really left this time."
"But you were too reckless just now, and you were almost discovered," the mysterious woman scolded Typhon. "If you were discovered, many things might have changed."
"Yes, thanks to mother, otherwise I would have been in trouble this time," Typhon replied respectfully to the goddess.
"Well, you will get this treasure, but not for your use now," the mysterious woman said.
"For use later? It doesn't matter. Just order my descendant around, "Typhon said excitedly. Typhon said excitedly, but the mysterious woman did not reply. She had disappeared from Mount Etna.
"Did mother leave?" Typhon seemed to have lost something, but it was normal. Gaia could not stay away from the gods' sight for a long time. After thinking about it, he also sank into the magma. Mount Alterna returned to normal. Thick smoke billowed, and the magma inside kept rolling.
The mysterious woman did not go far after leaving Mount Alterna. She came to the sky and looked down at Typhon. She murmured, "Typhon, I am indeed not Gaia, at least not now."
"This treasure will be given to you, but not for use in the future. You are just a historical process that must go through, and there are not many possibilities."
Saying this, she looked at Troy and continued to murmur, "Compared to you, I am more interested in Prince Paris of Troy. He has many secrets that are fascinating."
"The most important thing is, Typhon, he has a better future than you."
"For me, he is far more useful than you."
After saying this, she pondered for a moment, as if she was daydreaming. She no longer looked at Typhon who was suppressed on Mount Alterna. Her eyes were filled with determination and hope for the future.
After a while, the mysterious woman's figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind a sigh.
