There was no longer a living Greek "god" in the temple of Hades on Mount Olympus.
According to the distribution map of the demon hunters in Hasse's memory, they avoided the few enemies in the temple of Hades and quickly moved through the completely silent temple. At this moment, the tall and magnificent temple was full of devastation. The glorious murals of the past were stained with blood, and the mighty stone statues were covered with cuts and axes. The tall ancient Greek columns had collapsed, and the broken sections of the marble had a glass-like texture after melting and cooling. The dead Olympian gods and their servants were like slaughtered livestock, thrown casually on the battlefield.
The tall "gods" were the most eye-catching on the battlefield, but their fallen corpses were rare. Most of the palaces were transformed mortal servants, genetically degraded descendants of gods, and demigod heroes of mixed human and divine blood. Gorgeous armor could not stop them from dying in this apocalyptic catastrophe. Compared to the unreasonably destructive power of the demon hunters, the armor and protective spells made by the Olympian gods were as weak as babies. The blood of the gods and humans flowed all over the temple. On some of the most fiercely resisting stairs, the coagulated blood even flowed along the stairs into a "red carpet" hundreds of meters long.
One could imagine the terrible scene of blood flowing along these long stairs before the end of the battle.
Lily cautiously walked past a body that had been pierced through the chest by a magic-breaking arrow. The strong smell of blood made her uncomfortable, but as vampires, Hessiana and little Hessiana were happy with the environment. Hessiana sighed with some regret. "Sigh … It's almost enough to hold a three-day feast."
"Don't say that. I'm going to throw up," Lily said with a pale face. "You can make a joke at another time …"
"Pfft," Hessiana said disdainfully. As she passed another body, she casually kicked it over and bent down to examine it. She shook her head slightly. "This one is also a human … but seems to have been modified."
It was a body wearing relatively thin armor. Compared to the tall Olympian gods, whether large or small, he was only 1.7 meters tall. He looked like a standard human, but his eye sockets were inlaid with shining red gems, and his limbs had obvious signs of modification. Hessiana turned the upper body of the human over, revealing a few soft tubes connecting the back of his head to the spine.
"They are the slaves who are lucky enough to be selected to serve the gods on Mount Olympus. It's very common," Hasse said casually. "After all, pure-blooded Olympians are the minority. Even with those genetically degraded descendants, it's still not enough to rule this land. Besides, demigods with only half of their blood can't do things like serving tea. So there are always a large number of human servants on Mount Olympus for these gods to do. Give them some power, a few years of life, and a little nerve-control technology, and these servants will be extremely loyal. "
"How many pure-blooded Olympian gods are there?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"You mean those who are more than three or four meters tall? Excluding those who mutated like Kronos and were expelled from the race, there are probably dozens of them, "Hasse said." Most of the rest are the genetically degraded descendants on Earth, and the so-called 'demigod heroes' born after they have mated with humans. The status of the two is similar. They are the most basic rulers in the theocratic society in the Mediterranean region. However, occasionally, there will be a very good individual among the genetically degraded descendants. Although they are not as good as their parents or grandparents, they still inherit the ability to use the supernatural power of the Thunder Giants. These genetically degraded descendants will be promoted and allowed to enter a higher class, and even have a 'divine title.' You know, Hesperides is one of them. "
"I see …" Hao Ren nodded and silently noted these things down. Although it sounded trivial, the information he collected here could still be used to determine the intensity of the impact of the various races in the Plane of Dreams when they passed through the Wall of Reality. If there was enough data, maybe the MDT could even calculate the total decline of the Wall of Reality in the past 10,000 years and its state when it first broke.
Leaving the cold bodies behind, Hao Ren and his team turned into a path. They walked through the rugged palace and did not encounter any wandering demon hunters along the way. The battle here was over, and the sacred army, driven by their killing instinct, would not spend too much energy in this place where they had lost interest in killing. Except for a few sentries who had to stay behind, the majority of the demon hunters had gone to the temple of Poseidon.
However, Hao Ren knew very well that they would have to face a battle ahead of them.
The path ahead suddenly opened up. After coming out of the small path, everyone arrived at the side entrance of an open square.
Hessiana looked up and saw a vast metal platform extending from the end of the square all the way to the cliff of Mount Hades. At the end of the platform was a bright rotating beam of light. The beam of light shot out from the platform and pierced into the clouds, drawing a blurry bright line in the pale golden clouds full of high-energy radiation. The other end of the line fell into another mountain on the other side of the sea of clouds.
The scenery on the mountain peak was indistinct, and one could vaguely see a group of towering palaces standing at the top of the mountain. The palaces were constantly surrounded by blue light, looking like a piece of seawater floating between the clouds and mist.
That was the realm of Poseidon, and the light line in the sky was obviously the light path that Hasse had mentioned.
This was a major traffic route, and obviously, it was impossible for it to be unguarded. Even if the demon hunters could not destroy the light path itself, which was the main building in the radioactive energy field, it did not stop them from setting up guards at the entrance and exit of each light path to prevent the enemy from escaping. In fact, every time they attacked a temple, they would first block the light path platform, and the Temple of Hades, which had completely fallen, was no exception.
Hundreds of demon hunters were on high alert on the platform. Half of them were watching the movement in the light path, and the rest were constantly scanning in other directions. Their monitoring had no blind spots.
This number was slightly beyond Hao Ren's expectation.
"Three Master-level commanders, and the rest are all veterans." Hasse glanced around and made a judgment. "Those who are qualified to stand guard here can't be ordinary soldiers. We have to plan carefully … It's not a problem to get rid of them. The problem is that we can't give them time to send out the warning signal."
Hessiana looked at Hasse with a strange expression. "You are getting less and less stressed now. I remember when you were dealing with the demon hunters in the Amazon jungle, you hesitated for a long time."
Hasse was expressionless. "I only hesitated for a few seconds, not half a day. And I'm used to it. This is just a mirage of history. You don't hesitate to attack the vampires now, do you? "
"Nonsense, when have I ever hesitated to beat them up?" Hessiana waved her hand. "You don't know how the vampire families in the Athens' sanctuary fought each other."
Hasse was speechless.
Was this something to be proud of?
Hao Ren observed the movements of more than a hundred demon hunters on the platform. He memorized their movements and thought about how to eliminate these powerful sentinels as quickly as possible. He divided a part of his mental power to check the remaining firearms in his Dimensional Pocket. Finally, he hesitated between small tactical nuclear weapons and graviton bombs.
But just when he was about to open the Dimensional Pocket, he abruptly stopped himself from doing so.
Lily was the first to notice it. She turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe we don't have to do it," Hao Ren said mysteriously. "There are 'reinforcements' who will help us attract the attention of those demon hunters."
"Reinforcements? Reinforcements?" Lily asked. Where did the reinforcements come from?
Just as the husky maiden's voice trailed off, the ground under their feet suddenly shook.
Along with the shaking came an angry roar from afar.
A bolt of red lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, leaving a dazzling light mark in the background of the King of Pluto's palace. Then, the sky in that direction suddenly distorted as if it was collapsing. The radioactive energy clouds that were originally hundreds of meters high in the sky were pulled by a powerful force. They began to spin into a vortex and approached the ground. In just a few breaths, a huge storm funnel was formed. As these radioactive energy clouds descended, the powerful force that suddenly appeared actually strengthened a bit!
Kronos had climbed up Mount Olympus.
Lily now knew what Hao Ren meant by 'reinforcements'.
"Against the sky, against the earth, against the air, against his descendants, against the mountain. Old Mr. Cronos' life is a battle, an uncompromising life, and a life of no good deeds," Hao Ren said with a smile. "Now, let him lead the Titans to fight the demon hunters …"
As Hao Ren expected, the demon hunters who stayed in the Palace of Hades were all alarmed by the sudden movement. After seeing the power of the storm in the distance, none of the demon hunters could remain indifferent.
Following the most obvious logic, the commander of the demon hunters immediately concluded that this was the last counterattack of the Olympian gods, who were hanging on by a thread.
The demon hunter squads in various parts of the palace quickly assembled and ran toward the place where Kronos and the other Titans had landed. A moment later, the first batch of soldiers fought with the terrifying ancient Titans. But in the face of an opponent like Kronos, even a perfect race like the demon hunters could not win easily. Soon, the commander on the light path platform heard the news of the frontline's emergency.
The three master demon hunters quickly discussed and decided to split half of the demon hunters to intercept Kronos.
Watching half of the demon hunters left the platform under the leadership of the master commander, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Things would be much easier this way.
