The Underworld was completely over.
The cracks on the land of Tartarus continued to extend, and finally, the entire Elysium was divided into two. The huge cracks cut through the entire land like an invisible blade. After the collapse of the Elysium, the cracks crossed the dried up River of Pain and spread to the wilderness on the edge of the Underworld.
Scorching magma spewed out from the depths of the earth, and from some of the smaller fissures, countless pillars of steam hundreds of meters tall shot out. The rock layer began to collapse into the endless nothingness below, and the howling energy storm surged from the depths of the earth. The originally sturdy ground of Hell was now like a layer of melted butter, rippling and collapsing.
Kronos led the ancient Titans to escape from the rapidly collapsing world. They clung to the Tower of the Underworld, which was also rapidly collapsing, and quickly climbed up Mount Olympus.
The giants seemed to be moving slowly, but with the push of their massive limbs, they were able to cover a distance of tens of meters with every climb. They seemed to be climbing at a steady pace, but their speed was faster than the collapse of the Tower of Hades. They had already left destruction far behind them.
Hao Ren glanced at the situation below. Through a simple analysis, he found that they were still moving faster than the climbing speed of the Titans. The Titans could not pose a threat to them. After confirming this, Hao Ren was a little curious. "Can they really climb Mount Olympus like this?" Hao Ren looked up and saw that they had begun to pass through the spatial opening at the top of the Underworld.
Hasse looked up and saw that they had already passed through the spatial opening at the top of the Underworld. It was a vast lightning-shaped rift, and the thickness of the opening alone was a few kilometers. "Yes, as long as they maintain their current speed, it will be fine. This passage is actually just a rapid transportation pipeline. The spatial crack itself is opened and maintained by the crack generator on Mount Olympus. So even if the Tower of the Underworld is shut down, the portal will still exist. But we can pass directly through the mountain of Olympus to the temple of Hades from inside the pipeline, while the Titans must climb the mountain wall of Mount Olympus. But no matter what, they will climb Mount Olympus. "
While Hasse was talking, they crossed the boundary between the Underworld and Olympus.
Through the ever-changing cracks on the outer wall of the pipeline, Hao Ren saw the scene outside became blurred for a moment, as if countless twisted lights surrounded the pipeline and formed a vortex. After the blurred image disappeared, the scenery outside the tunnel suddenly became clear.
It was an endless sea of white clouds.
But the vast sea of clouds only appeared for a moment. Hao Ren only saw a continuous, inverted rock base above the sea of clouds, and then the scenery outside fell into darkness again.
In the darkness, only a series of flashing metal rings could be seen flashing by. It was like sitting in a train passing through a tunnel. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren knew that they had entered the mountain of Olympus.
The Titans climbing outside the pipeline would not be able to follow them in. They could only climb from the base of the floating mountain of Olympus. If the powerful Titans could do this without falling, they would most likely climb from the mountain wall of Mount Hades.
Only then did Hessiana let out a sigh of relief. "Phew … Finally, we don't have to look at those ugly Titans anymore."
Lily also breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew … Is Kronos really Zeus's father?"
Hasse nodded. "It's true."
Lily looked horrified. "Zeus is seventy or eighty meters tall?"
Hasse shook his head. "Zeus is about the same height as Hades. They are both the large species of the Thunder Giants, and the tallest one can grow to four or five meters. "
The expression on the husky maiden's face was very interesting as she thought of a lot of things. "No wonder Mount Olympus is more chaotic than any other circle. Did Zeus ever wonder if he was his own son when he saw his own father like that? Wait a minute, could it be that Zeus locked Kronos up because of family issues? "
Hasse did not expect the husky to find time to come up with such an idea. After a dozen seconds, he explained helplessly, "According to the information we have, the reason why Zeus locked up the Titans, including Kronos, was that the Titans had mutated for unknown reasons. They became huge and irrational, constantly polluting Olympus, and there were signs of spreading the mutation. Under such circumstances, the Olympian gods had to lock up their fathers."
"Mutated? That is to say, the Titans were originally about the same size as Zeus? "
"Yes, there are only two types of gods on Mount Olympus. In addition to the large species that are more than three meters tall, and the small species that are about the same height as humans. Kronos is obviously a product of mutation. We have also investigated more and learned that the 'small species' that are similar in height to humans are actually the product of mutation, the result of genetic degradation after the pure-blooded Olympian gods reproduced on Earth. Therefore, the original Olympian gods were the three to four-meter-tall guys. Those who were short like Hesperides were the descendants of the gods after they settled on Earth. But compared to the gigantic mutation of Kronos and the other Titans, the miniaturization did not have any negative side effects. Therefore, the genetically degraded Olympian gods were still regarded as their own people by Zeus and were not discriminated against on Mount Olympus. "
Hao Ren frowned. He had a guess in his mind. "These changes are probably related to crossing the world barrier."
After all, Earth was not the home of the otherworldlings.
For the otherworldling refugees from the Plane of Dreams, the process of crossing the world barrier on Yggdrasil was a journey of death. More than half of the races had actually died due to environmental changes when they arrived on Earth. Even if the rest survived, they had to face great trials and tribulations. Only ten percent of the lucky ones could really adapt to the environment on Earth. Even if the other races survived, they were more or less damaged in the process of adaptation — limb mutation, genetic degradation of offspring, alien diseases, and native toxins on Earth. These things had been hanging over the heads of the otherworldlings for the first thousand years after they arrived on Earth. As a result, countless ancient monsters were born in the myths and legends of later generations.
Except for some of those ancient monsters that were really ugly in their hometown in the Plane of Dreams, the rest basically only mutated after arriving on Earth.
For example, Zeus' father, Mr. Kronos, who was now leading his eleven siblings to climb Mount Olympus, was such a victim.
The otherworldlings' arrival on Earth was generally a mess.
After traveling through the mountains of Olympus for a long time, Hao Ren finally noticed that the scene outside the tube had changed.
The glowing rings that kept sweeping downwards turned into continuous shimmering tubes, and the walls of the tubes that were originally rapidly retreating gradually began to slow down. The pulling force on them also became much weaker. All the signs pointed to one thing: they were about to reach the end.
"Prepare your weapons!"
Hasse said in a low voice.
Although the temple of Hades had been cleared, all the resisters were dead, and the entire Mount Olympus was engulfed by the radiation field, it was unlikely that there would be a large number of demon hunters on Mount Hades. But it was always good to be prepared in advance.
Hao Ren took out the two swords of cosmic fragment from his dimensional pocket. The Godslayer greeted him as soon as it appeared. "Ah, buddy, long time no see. Why are you fighting again? I can feel the murderous aura in this place."
"Shut up."
"Oh."
Almost as soon as they were ready, the traction force they felt disappeared, and gravity returned to normal in the passage.
The moment everyone's bodies fell, countless metal fragments flew from the rotating structure in all directions and rapidly assembled, forming a layer of solid floor under their feet.
In front of Hao Ren, the rotating black parts retreated, revealing a door. Outside the door was a dark palace.
"Stay alert." Hao Ren said in a low voice as he took the lead, followed by Lily, who was carrying the giant alloy sword.
The palace was lifeless and seemed to be empty.
This was probably the "transportation hall" that was specially used to connect to the Underworld. As a place to transfer resources and gather people, it appeared to be very wide and tall. The hall was made of black metal and was cylindrical in shape. Above it was a vault depicting countless scenes of war and death. Dozens of exquisite metal sculptures stood around the hall.
The protagonist of each sculpture was Hades, the Hades who was nailed to the Wall of Sighs.
"That guy is quite narcissistic," Lily commented.
Hasse's voice came from behind. "Every guy who calls himself a god is a narcissist … Oh, I'm not talking about the real god we know."
"It's okay. Raven 12345 is also narcissistic. Not only that, but she is also very good at bragging." Hao Ren waved his hand. "But her divine goods are much better than these fakes without a license."
Everyone entered the hall. Almost at the same time when little Hessiana walked out of the door, there was a sudden burst of harsh mechanical friction from the pipe.
Sparks burst out from the rotating pipe port in the hall, and the fast-moving metal parts slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The collapse of the lower half of the Underworld tower had obviously begun to affect the operation of the entire passage.
Although the pipe seemed to be barely holding up, it was only a matter of time before it completely stopped. Lily could not help but shake her head. "I don't know where Kronos and the others have climbed to …"
"I hope they can climb up smoothly now," Hao Ren said with a grin.
"Huh?" Lily could not react for a moment.
"Whether they go after the demon hunters or the Olympian 'god', they can create a lot of chaos, and what we need is chaos."
