Compared to dealing with the Vivian who had lost her memory, Hao Ren felt that dealing with the muddled Vivian in front of him was obviously more difficult. Although the Vivian he had met in the past had forgotten what she had experienced in the twenty-first century, at least her mind was clear. As long as he could fool her on the spot, even if it was only temporarily, it would be a success. There would not be any more problems in the follow-up. But this one … She was always in the middle of being fooled. Even if you talked to her for a long time and finally won her trust, the first thing she would say was, "Who are you?"
Was there no end to this?!
Hao Ren finally gave up on introducing himself to the muddled version of the Countess in front of him. He sighed, resigned to his fate, and pointed to Hessiana and Hessiana. "Anyway, these two are your little bats. You know your memory, so don't ask why these two little bats suddenly appeared. My friend and I brought your two daughters here to pick you up. You don't have to wonder why you are on the mountain … "
Vivian paused, her hand unconsciously stroking little Hessiana's head. "It is indeed so high … Oh, I know, going down the mountain, right? Thank you. I remember coming up the mountain to save someone, but I can't remember the details … By the way, who are you?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
He sighed and turned to look in the direction of Poseidon. "We are done here. If there is anything else that needs to be done, hurry up and get started. Who should go, who should stay, and if there is anything else that needs to be brought along, hurry up and get ready. We don't have much time."
In fact, there was no need for Hao Ren to remind them. The Olympian gods had already arranged for the escape. In order to improve the success rate of the escape, the number of people was reduced again and again until there were only ten people left. As for the divine artifacts and treasures that must be brought along, they were sparing as much as possible. This was an escape, not a house. No matter how precious the treasure was, it was not as important as the Olympian bloodline. To be honest, if traveling light could improve the success rate, Poseidon and Zeus would have let the ten people run naked.
Hao Ren also knew another thing: it was someone else who took the scroll and the divine artifact away. The famous demigod hero, Hercules, had already broken out of the encirclement before the situation worsened. What Zeus wanted to pass on was all in Hercules' hands.
Hao Ren did not care who the ten people on the list were because most of them were just historical names to him. He was just sure that one thing was the same as history: Hesperides was on the list.
Hesperides was one of the few outstanding individuals among the genetically degraded descendants. She was also a famous "god" on Mount Olympus. Naturally, she was qualified to stay in this hall. While Hao Ren and Vivian were talking, she somehow chatted with Lily. The two seemed to be getting along quite well. In fact, with Lily's easygoing and silly character, she could get along well with anyone who did not want to kill her family.
At this time, Hesperides was still a gentle and quiet "goddess," not a tyrannosaurus with a split personality due to brain damage in the next two thousand years. She was wearing a luxurious and elegant bright yellow dress and a golden corolla on her head, and there was no hole in her head. In the original history, she should have been separated from the team when she broke out of Mount Olympus with Vivian. As a result, she encountered the sweeping troops led by Hasse and got a big hole in her head. In this sandbox world built on dreams, memories, and information fragments, Hesperides obviously did not need to be hit by the magic arrow. Hasse, who opened the hole in her head, was still spiraling into the sky at the edge of Olympus.
At this moment, they were all strangers. There was no need to think about the friendship of the twenty-first century. Hao Ren briefly greeted Hesperides and the other Olympians. Then, to reassure Poseidon and the others, he went to the temple treasury to pick a few super precious "artifacts" as tokens of friendship between the two sides. But in this sandbox world built on dreams, memories, and information fragments, Hesperides obviously did not need to be hit by the magic arrow. Hasse, who opened the hole in her head, was still flying at supersonic speed at the border of Olympus.
In fact, Hao Ren did not want those so-called "treasures" at all. As someone who came from outside the sandbox world, he certainly knew the ins and outs of this world. Those so-called "treasures" were all temporary data calculated by the world's arbitration authority. Once the sandbox system was shut down, everything would be gone.
The ten chosen Olympian gods had all changed into magnificent battle armors. Hesperides was also clad in a brilliant light armor. She held the Scepter of Dusk in her hand, and the magical glow behind her was like a pair of wings. She looked like a Krypton gold newbie who had just logged into her QQ account. To avoid stirring up the other survivors in the temple, Poseidon did not tell his grandfather about the Tinder Escape Plan. These ten people were chosen in the name of breaking out of the encirclement and looking for reinforcements. So when they left, they naturally looked majestic in their armor. This was to reassure the others in the temple.
But when they left the atrium of the temple and were about to reach the back door, Hao Ren ordered them to change out of their flashy equipment and into plain Roman civilian clothes.
"Are you guys tired of living in this?" Hao Ren looked at the group of unhappy Olympian gods with his hands on his hips. "We are running for thousands of miles, not cruising in fancy clothes. Standing on the battlefield like searchlights, you guys are afraid that the demon hunters won't be able to aim at us, right?"
Hesperides looked at Lily with a dumbfounded look. "What is a searchlight?"
"It's a target," Lily said.
"Oh, thank you."
Two Hessianas stood beside Vivian. She seemed to be a little more clear-headed now, but she could not remember why she was there. She was asking her two daughters about what happened on Mount Olympus and what the large group of people were going to do. Little Hessiana was still an innocent little girl who knew nothing about the complicated war of the gods. She only knew how to act like a spoiled child beside her mother. The older Hessiana explained the situation in detail and cleverly included Hao Ren and Lily in the story so that their appearance was more reasonable and credible.
Obviously, Vivian trusted the little bat that fell out of her body. She had been asking a lot of questions when she was dragged away, but now she had no more doubts except for asking about Hao Ren's name every now and then.
On the other side, in the hall where Poseidon was, Zeus was finally dying.
The demon hunters' deployment on the blockade line did not weaken their attack on the temple. Poseidon once again waved the trident of Neptune and turned the dome of the hall into a transparent sea. The great barrier, which had been rippling under the bombardment of magic bombs, was once again presented in front of everyone.
Zeus looked at the swaying light and shadow, and the glow of life gradually faded from his face. Soon, his flesh and blood withered like his brother who had been immersed in necromancy all year round. On his rapidly decaying face, only a pair of electric eyes still had a glimmer of light.
In the sky full of light bullets, he seemed to see the days when he led his clansmen to build this "divine mountain", saw the age of desolation and darkness on the earth, and saw humans still wearing animal skins and living in caves.
Unknowingly, the human city-states had spread all over the earth, and the palaces they built were also quite decent. Meanwhile, Mount Olympus in the sky … after standing still for thousands of years, it was about to be destroyed.
For the first time in thousands of years, Zeus finally realized the existence of those 'mortals', realized their development, and realized that these short-lived primitive races could become the masters of the earth. Because the kingdom of the gods was about to be destroyed, but humans were still alive, and they would live for many years.
Zeus did not have the ability to predict the future, but with wisdom and intuition, he vaguely understood the direction that the world was about to go.
Unfortunately, no one could hear his epiphany at this moment.
He felt as if he had said what he had foreseen, but in Poseidon's eyes, Zeus only moved his lips a few times, and then he stared at the 'meteor shower' in the dome and breathed his last.
Hao Ren and his team left the temple through the back door, but they did not immediately pass through the blockade of the sacred army as the Olympian gods had imagined. In fact, they did not move in the direction of leaving the battlefield. Instead, they circled around the temple and hid from the sight of the demon hunters under the cover of the ruins. Finally, they came to a small highland nearby.
There was a small palace that had almost completely collapsed. Perhaps it was the residence of one of Poseidon's descendants. It was located between the sacred army and the temple of Poseidon, but due to the mobilization of the demon hunters, it was safe for the time being.
Of course, if one were to stand on the only remaining tower of the palace, one would still be able to see the countless flags of the Holy Church fluttering in the wind, covering the mountains and plains as if there was no end to them.
"What are we doing here?" An Olympian asked, puzzled. He sounded a little uneasy. "This place is too close to the demon hunters' camp. It doesn't look like a good direction to break out of."
"Break out of the demon hunters' camp? We are not going to break out of the demon hunters' camp for the time being. "Hao Ren looked at the 'god' who did not even leave a name in the history of mythology. He shook his head and smiled." First, we have to meet a friend who is waiting for us outside, and then start the rest of the journey. "
But the rest of the journey has nothing to do with you, Hao Ren added in his mind.
"There is someone waiting for us outside?" Hesperides frowned. "I really don't know how you did it. With such great ability, you should be famous."
"We are from far away. Anyway, we are not locals," Hao Ren said, waving his hand casually. "By the way, the person who is coming may scare you, but don't be nervous. He is one of us. His identity is a magic disguise. Well, a magic disguise."
Although Hao Ren said that, he knew that he was just saying it. In the face of innate hostility, any psychological preparation was nonsense. When Vivian came in, the first reaction of the Olympians would be to draw their knives, and even Hesperides would be no exception. That was why he had forced them to disarm earlier. But he could not get rid of these 'uncertainties' in front of Vivian. So he could only wait and see.
Anyway, he was already prepared. As soon as Hasse came in, he would throw a stun grenade on the ground and pull Vivian out of the chaos. Anyway, Vivian would wake up in an instant. She was an elder demon hunter, and she would not be killed by ten disarmed Olympian gods in such a short time.
Hao Ren was thinking about his plan and did not notice when Vivian came up to him. He looked up and saw her staring at him. "What's wrong?"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren for a while and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
"I'm% # ¥% ¥#% ¥%!" Hao Ren stammered.
