Lily squatted on the ground and poked at the white wall of the temple of Poseidon curiously with her giant alloy sword. "Mr. Landlord, do you think the people inside know that you're tearing down their walls?" she muttered.
Hao Ren pressed his hand on the magic barrier and said, "I've done it 60 or 70 times, but there's no movement inside. They probably don't know."
Hessiana crossed her arms and looked on coldly. "I have a feeling that you two have forgotten what we're here for."
While the troublemaker was happily tearing down the wall, Hessiana was not. But there was no need to care about these details. Finally, Hao Ren felt an unnatural pause in the regeneration process of the magic shield. After he destroyed the magic shield once again, the regeneration rate was significantly slower than the last time.
"It seems that the energy reserve of this thing is about to run out." Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. "At most, two or three more times and it will be over."
Lily jumped happily. "Mr. Landlord, you're super awesome!"
The husky maiden was so excited that she even spoke in her own dialect.
But at this moment, Hao Ren's spiritual senses suddenly detected a group of energy signatures approaching quickly, and some of them were quite powerful.
Without waiting for Hao Ren's reminder, Lily and Hessiana were already on his left and right, ready to fight. Hao Ren quickly took out a sign from his dimensional pocket and planted it on the ground. On the sign was a line of words written in ancient Greek: "Don't agitate your own people!"
…
It did not take long for the news to reach the upper hall. Athena could not help but stand up from her chair. "What did you say? There are only three people outside? And they said they are here to help? "
Three people? The three of them had destroyed the powerful magic barrier 72 times in a row? And each time, it was instantaneous!
And these people, who had been tearing down the wall outside the temple of Poseidon, claimed to be the reinforcements of Olympus?
Even the knowledgeable Athena felt a little confused at this moment.
The messenger on the ground bowed his head. "Yes, they claim to be friends of Lady Ancestor. They are here because of their agreement with Lady Ancestor. And one of them does look very much like Lady Ancestor."
Athena subconsciously looked at Vivian Ancestor who was not far away, but the latter seemed to be a little confused at the moment. She turned a deaf ear to what was happening in the hall and was talking to herself while counting her fingers. When Athena got closer, she could hear that she was calculating next month's food expenses.
She had no choice but to turn her head to Poseidon. "What do you think?"
Poseidon's face was as white as a sheet. He was sweating profusely and shaking uncontrollably. Although he was still holding onto the trident that symbolized the majesty of Poseidon, he looked so weak that it was doubtful if he could even lift the heavy weapon. Hearing Athena's question, the God of the Sea, who was on the verge of fainting, squeezed out a few very weak words from his lips. "Let them in. We can't stop them anyway."
What he meant was that regardless of whether the three people outside were reinforcements or not, they had to let them in. The barrier of the palace was like a decoration to the three people. If they were allowed to continue, he would have to give up his life here. Speaking of which, since the other party was willing to negotiate with them peacefully, the possibility of them coming to help was very high. After all, there was a "curse" phenomenon known as innate hostility in this world, and the relationship between the various races in this world was very clear. If they were really enemies, there would be no need for them to negotiate with them.
After receiving the order, the soldiers had no choice but to respectfully invite the three troublemakers in.
Hao Ren and the other two did not expect the negotiation to go so smoothly. After the messenger ran back, they were allowed to enter the temple. In fact, Hao Ren was quite nervous at first. After all, he had used the identity of a friend invited by Vivian. At this moment, Vivian should be in the temple of Poseidon. It could be said that it was an excuse that could easily be exposed by Vivian herself. But he still used it.
Just because Hessiana was one of them.
The messenger would definitely report this "mysterious visitor" who looked like a smurf of Vivian. Even if Vivian did not know that Hao Ren had invited a few friends over, she would certainly be curious about Hessiana. She might even guess that it was her daughter who had left behind in Rome who had come over. Either way, she would let the three of them in to meet her.
As long as that was the case, Hao Ren would achieve his goal.
That was why Hao Ren used the identity of a friend of Vivian even though he knew that he could easily be exposed. He was relying on his understanding of Vivian. Based on the smooth progress, he felt that he had made the right bet.
The three of them had no idea what was going on in the temple. They did not know that it was not Vivian's idea that they were allowed in. The old lady was immersed in her mental problems and seriously calculating the food expenses for the next month.
Along the way, Hao Ren saw countless dejected Olympian gods. In the corridors, in the resting hall, and in the open-air courtyard, the entire temple was shrouded in an atmosphere of depression and despair. Even the soldiers who stood at the various checkpoints with their last bit of courage, ready to fight the demon hunters for the last time, were shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.
On the other hand, the human servants who had undergone biochemical modification showed incredible courage and fighting spirit. The cyborgs with tubes at the back of their heads were prepared for battle as if they were completely unaware of the disaster that was about to befall them. Even though they were surrounded by wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs, they did not show the slightest bit of fear or cowardice.
This fighting spirit and courage did not come from loyalty and lofty beliefs, but simply from the effect of the alchemical devices and potions in their heads. The biochemical modification had completely destroyed the self-will of these people and erased their cowardice and wavering hearts. In the minds of these slaves, sacrificing their lives for Olympus was a matter of course.
As a result, a group of desperate Olympian gods was surrounded by more fearless, high-spirited human slaves. It was an extreme irony.
Hao Ren and his team met Poseidon, Zeus, and other surviving Olympian gods in the upper hall.
However, they had no interest in these majestic and handsome ancient Greek gods. After greeting them politely and getting to know each other, the first thing Hao Ren did was to look around for Vivian. It was easy to find her. Vivian was standing in a very conspicuous place in the hall. Her attire and the atmosphere around her were very different from the rest of the people in the hall. She stood out like a crane among chickens.
She had her head down and did not seem to care about what was going on here.
"She has been in this state for some time," said a majestic and valiant female god in pale golden light armor. From the self-introduction, Hao Ren knew that she was the famous Athena. "She was very clear-headed when she first came, but it didn't take long for her to become confused. The last time she had a head-on conflict with the demon hunters, this situation became more serious. She only knows what she is doing for three or four hours a day. To be honest, we are very worried about her. "
"She suddenly lost control, right?" Hao Ren waved his hand. "We know. After all, we are her friends."
As he said so, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Hao Ren's eyes.
No wonder Vivian forgot about little Hessiana in Rome after she went to Mount Olympus. No wonder she did not remember fighting with Hasse on Mount Olympus even though she had rescued Hesperides. No wonder she was awake and experienced the fall of Olympus, but her memory of many things during this period was particularly confusing.
Could it be that she was schizophrenic from the beginning to the end of such an epic event?
Hao Ren was not an expert, and he could not tell the pattern of deterioration of Vivian's mental state. But he was sure that the head-on battle with the sacred army on Mount Olympus was a catalyst. Vivian's mental problems were related to various negative thoughts, and there was no place more negative than Mount Olympus.
Vivian's current mental state was somewhat beyond Hao Ren and his team's expectations. They had to hold back and observe her before deciding how to interact with her. Even Hessiana, who could not help but want to pounce on her, had to calm down. Little Hessiana, on the other hand, was squirming restlessly in Hao Ren's pocket. The little one had sensed that her 'mother' was nearby, and she could not wait to come out.
Hao Ren gently pressed his pocket to calm the little bat down.
At the same time, Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon, who had just recovered a little, were also observing the three strangers in front of them.
They sensed from Hessiana and Lily that they were not of the same race, and their instinctive reaction was similar to innate hostility. This made them a little nervous for a while, but soon they found that this innate hostility was relatively mild and could be completely controlled by their willpower. So they calmed down and took it for granted. Vivian herself was a weirdo among the otherworldlings. She could get along with anyone, and there were many otherworldlings among her friends. Judging from the aura of the three people in front of them, they could tell that they were from three different races, which indirectly proved that their identities were more reliable.
Other than Vivian Ancestor's friends, there was no such strange combination in the world.
After a brief observation, Athena suddenly asked, "There are demon hunters everywhere in the divine realm. How did you sneak in?"
Of course, she was suspicious of Hao Ren and his team, but more importantly, she wanted to find a safe route to escape. Since the three of them could come and go freely on the battlefield full of demon hunters, did it not mean that there was a safe route to escape?
No one was a fool. As soon as Athena asked the question, every Olympian god reacted and looked expectantly at the three mysterious guests standing in the middle.
