"Father might want to invite you to the God Realm again. He said that he has something important to discuss, but he didn't say what it was about."
When Icetis said that, she was concentrating on braiding Sandora's hair, so I didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds, I suddenly froze. I realized that what this fellow said so casually was the biggest reason why she came here.
"Father is asking me to go to the God Realm?" If it wasn't for the fact that Sandora was lying on my chest and I didn't want to disturb her, I would have stood up. "When?"
"He is inviting you to the God Realm, not asking you to go to the God Realm." Icetis seriously corrected me on this topic. "You are the Human King, so please have some self-awareness. As for when you are going, Father didn't say it clearly. He probably just wants you to be prepared. I can see that his expression is quite serious, so it should be something important. It's just that he can't decide right now. Well, don't be so nervous. Father has a habit of hiding things from you. Maybe he just wants to exchange his experience of being a nanny with you. "
I didn't dare to imagine whether the concept of "respect" existed in this fellow's head. She even dared to tease Father!
"Did Father only invite Ah Jun?"
Just as Icetis and I were discussing the effective range of Father's aura through our mental connection, Sandora's voice suddenly rang in our ears. Then, the young girl, who had been sleeping for a while, propped herself up and punched my chest. "This fellow is messing with my hair, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
"Damn, how did you listen in?!" Icetis retreated half a meter as if she had seen a ghost and shouted while pointing at Sandora.
"Don't forget that I am a Soul Snatcher." Sandora flicked her hair. Originally, Icetis had wanted to prank her by weaving her hair with the weeds on the ground, but she had already untied it. "In terms of soul and mental strength, you are no match for me. I knew it the moment you came, but I was too lazy to get up. "
"Wow, you have really fallen," Bryndis patted his chest exaggeratedly, and a wave of waves rolled, "You are so lazy in the arms of a man to bask in the sun, and you have even evolved into a herbivore. Are you going to fall to the end?"
"It's much better than being judged 87 million years ago to be unsuitable for marriage." Sandora giggled at Icetis. She didn't hold back at all. "When you get home, you were asked by your parents about your illegitimate child. It seems like your parents have been troubled by this problem for a long time."
Bryndis gawked at Shadora as though he was seeing her for the first time. After a long while, he kicked me and said, "Hey, Chen, how did you train a queen to be so good at talking?"
My expression froze for a moment. Then, I looked up at the sky speechlessly.
Shadora and Bryndis had been good friends for tens of millions of years, and their relationship could not be said to be not close. However, apart from being close, they sometimes quarreled like quarreling enemies. Of course, these were all minor issues that did not matter much. The reason why they occasionally quarreled was that Icetis was usually too destructive. You couldn't stop her from causing trouble everywhere she went, collecting protection fees from the natives, fighting with people, and destroying your backyard. During the era of the Old Empire, Icetis would cause a lot of trouble every time she went to look for Sandora. She would cause a mess in Sandora's Royal City and country. Then, she would be chased to the void node by the Royal Navy. Although it was certain that she had a sense of propriety, it didn't stop Sandora from getting angry.
As time went by, this pair of good friends developed a good habit of quarreling.
However, I felt that when the two of them quarreled back then, Sandora must have been the one on the losing end. The Shiring Apostles had a one-track mind. It was hard to imagine that the Sandora before I got to know her would be able to win against Icetis in a quarrel. Even a hoodlum had a hoodlum's superior combat strength. Icetis's strength wasn't only reflected in her bricks and mace. Her ability to shoot her mouth off was also a highlight. If Sandora wanted to fight and win against Icetis, the only possibility was that she would lose in a quarrel and drive a warship over …
However, today, our Queen was no longer the same as before. As the saying goes, who wouldn't be a poet if they often walked by the river? After living with a bunch of people who had nothing better to do for three years, even Confucius's Apricot Altar should have been renamed to Artistic Life. Thus, the moment Sandora opened her mouth, Icetis was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Of course, I also couldn't come back to my senses for a long time — this lass usually hid her strength. She would only reveal her ferocious side when she was quarreling with Icetis?
"You still haven't answered my question." Sandora glanced at Icetis. "Did Father only invite Ah Jun alone?"
"He didn't say that." Icetis shrugged. "Anyway, the gates of the Realm of Gods are open to your family without any restrictions. However, the matter that Father mentioned only seems to be related to Chen."
"Communication between Void Creatures, huh?" Sandora seemed to have grasped the true meaning of this meeting that she didn't know when it would happen. She muttered to herself, "Well, you don't have to worry about it in advance. Anyway, with your Protoss's concept of time … it's just that."
Sandora didn't say it out loud, but I secretly added something. With the Protoss's concept of time, if there was a matter that they had to wait for a while before bringing it up again, it would basically be long enough for the next generation of apes to learn how to walk upright.
Icetis also knew this, so she didn't refute it. She just smiled awkwardly and pointed at the distant sky. "Speaking of which, when I came here just now, I saw that Mount Olympus is quite lively. Many monsters from the monster town have flown over there. Are you interested in going over to take a look?"
Atlantis. Although it was called a city, its scale was actually quite large. It far exceeded all the giant cities that had existed in human history and modern times. This could be seen from the magnificent Mount Olympus that it carried on its back. Even though it was ancient and reflected the mysterious style of the ancient mythological era, this city was essentially an extremely advanced interstellar fortress. Atlantis, which was built on the blueprint of a large colonial ship, was the only building group in Avalon that was completely driven by the technology of the Empire. It moved along a fixed orbit in the space of Avalon every day, rising from the east and setting in the west. During the day, it moved in the blue sky of Avalon, and at night, it sank into the sea of clouds at the edge of the world, advancing in the dark shadow of the world. Now, this had become a fixed timetable. The residents of Avalon even habitually regarded this glorious floating city as the sun of this sacred land. Every day, the Heroic Spirits would set their watch according to the time when Atlantis flew past the central temple. The moment Atlantis appeared on the horizon, they would enter the temple of the goddess on time to start the day's prayers …
I felt that this was most likely Red A's idea. That guy was the most troublesome of all the Heroic Spirits. Back then, he was also the one who came up with the idea to organize the first Heroic Spirit Fishing Competition by the Fairy Lake. Then, he was beaten up by the Mermaid Princess Isana who lived in the Fairy Lake.
Under normal circumstances, Atlantis was not open to the public. The Atlantean gods who guarded this city regarded the city as a sacred land. They viewed the matter of "outsiders entering the land of God" very differently. Even the Heroic Spirits could not easily set foot on the sacred land because the other party belonged to the camp of another God. Even if the two Gods were allies, the stubborn Atlanteans felt that this matter should be treated differently. However, they opened the door to a special group of people, and that was the monsters from the Fantasy Village.
When this city was reclaimed, the monsters from the Fantasy Village were the forces that charged at the front together with the Imperial Army. Although in the end, they only achieved glorious results by acting cute, this did not prevent the Atlanteans, who advocated the martial spirit of the old Empire, from treating the monsters as their closest friends. They were tolerant and allowed them to visit the Holy City as guests.
Of course, the main reason for this tolerance was that the monsters did not belong to the camp of any God. This made the Atlanteans feel that they could accept them with ease. To the Atlanteans, who were all fanatics, the word "God" was very sensitive. The believers of other Gods were more vigilant than non-believers in this city. Therefore, although they were all friends, the Heroic Spirits could not casually set foot on the sacred land, but the monsters could. Although some of the monsters were called Gods or clergymen (such as the Red and White Ones), such Gods were obviously not recognized by the Atlanteans. To them, fake Gods were not considered Gods, so there was no harm in accepting them.
This was not to say that the Atlanteans were unfriendly or that they rejected heretics. In fact, other than being extremely stubborn on religious issues, the Atlanteans were very forthright and friendly. Their integrity and loyalty to their friends could be said to rank first among all the vassals of the Empire. It was just that in some aspects, they were unusually insistent on their own religious beliefs. However, there was nothing wrong with this. Every race had its own cultural characteristics. The cultural characteristic of the Atlanteans was the special religious worship with the Shiring Apostles as the core. All the vassals of the Empire had a consensus, which was to respect each other's religious habits. Therefore, the blockade of their own Holy City was understood and supported by everyone.
It was now almost dusk, and the Atlantean floating continent had already moved close to the edge of the world. It was gradually coming into contact with the sea of clouds. It was estimated that it would sink into the dark area of this world in an hour. It was indeed suspicious that the monsters would suddenly gather on Mount Olympus. So, the three of us rushed over curiously. Not long after, we arrived above the floating continent.
Although the sky had not completely darkened, the city of Atlantis had begun to light up with lights. The floating photon generator, the bonfire with religious symbolism, and the altar were scattered in the ancient megalithic city, illuminating the thick streets that had a history of tens of thousands of years. Under the twilight sky, it seemed as though the two worlds of the future and the past were intertwined. The sacred staircase of Mount Olympus was like a winding fire snake, extending from the foot of the mountain all the way to the temple of Zeus at the top of the mountain. Many monsters were gathering at the top of the mountain. I have to say, these guys from the Land of Fantasy gathered on the ancient Greek-style Mount Olympus. This was totally out of place.
Because we deliberately concealed our presence, no monsters noticed our arrival. When the three of us landed on the stone plaza in front of the Temple of Zeus, a large group of monsters were chattering about something. At the entrance of the temple, the ten-meter-tall giant Zeus and his brother Hades stood side by side like two ancient stone statues.
Fortunately, the Visca sisters did not follow us. Otherwise, they would throw a tantrum when we returned.
"Be quiet. Don't panic."
When the noise of the monsters became more and more serious, and there seemed to be no signs of stopping, two people suddenly spoke at the same time. One was Zeus, and his voice was like a great bell. He blew away the words of the Soul-Shooting Pill that was trying to take a close-up shot of him. The other was a sleepy monster, Yagumo Zi, who had not been seen for a long time. The latter sat in a gap in the air, playing with a folding fan in her hand.
"Yagumo Zi, you are the first to meet them. Tell us about the situation first."
Seeing that the surroundings had quietened down, Zeus nodded at Yagumo Zi and blew away the words of the Soul-Shooting Pill again. Did that Tengu have no brains?
"Basically, everyone understands the situation. It was just a face-to-face encounter, and I didn't have the time to see it clearly." Yagumo Zi did not beat around the bush and nodded calmly. "When I returned to the Fantasy Village to deal with some matters, I encountered them. They did look like battleships. Well, they were definitely different from the spaceships of the Empire. They were very broken. I took a closer look and didn't feel like someone was controlling them."
"Well, they were ghost ships, and they looked like they could travel across worlds. They looked broken and uncontrollable. What Hades encountered should be the same thing," Zeus said and glanced at the giant brother beside him. "You were in close contact with those spaceships. What characteristics did they have?"
"Very hard." Hades shrugged with a bitter face. He flipped his hair, revealing a huge hole on his forehead, and the alloy bones inside were shining. "And they did look like ghost ships. If there were people inside, I think they would have at least reacted when we bumped into them. But in fact, they didn't even release any detectors. Those ships had power, and the engines looked normal. They shouldn't have been completely destroyed. I tried to go up and see what was going on, but they quickly left the dimensional passage and fell into the void. Also, my brother, I still think I should treat this wound first … "
"Scars are the best trophies of a warrior. Ahem." Zeus patted Hades on the shoulder and coughed twice. Then, the Soul-Shooting Pill began to move forward in the storm. "Of course, you can find something like a band-aid to deal with the emergency."
That was a tall order. I didn't think Hades would be able to find a forty-two-inch Band-Aid, but it seemed that Zeus had decided that the situation was urgent enough to put his twin's health on the back burner.
"Except for the two of you, there have been no incidents of ghost ships, right?" Zeus pushed the Soul-Shooting Pill aside and looked at Yagumo Zi. "But this matter must not be taken lightly."
"I also think that this should not be an independent incident." Yagumo Zi covered half of her face with her folding fan, as if she couldn't bear to see the Soul-Shooting Pill that was still trying to capture a close-up of Zeus. "So far, the two encounters happened outside the standard route. Your brother and I encountered them when we were on a private trip, but the 'distance' between those areas and the standard route is not far."
"If something intrudes on the path of God, we will be guilty." Zeus nodded. "So we should immediately report this matter to the Lord."
A certain space monster agreed lazily. "Ah, it makes sense. Although I don't think it is as serious as you, I am also working for him now. It's just that this kind of unclear information, it doesn't make sense to report it to the Lord …"
"Ahem, who can explain to me what is going on?"
The three of us had been listening on the side until now. We felt that there was no need to hide, so we removed our disguises and appeared in the square. I coughed twice and asked loudly.
The square suddenly became quiet. When Zeus and Hades saw that Sandora and I had appeared in person, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted. The ground suddenly trembled, and the monster girls staggered. Wenwen dived down with a suicidal spirit, then raised her camera a few meters in front of the three of us and started taking pictures. It seemed that she had changed to a new camera. If I remembered correctly, the one in front was the one that Ling Meng had smashed.
Finally, a large group of monster girls rushed over. This group of overly energetic fellows might have not seen the landlord and landlady for a long time, so they surrounded us in about three seconds. Then, they started chattering noisily. Basically, they reported what they knew to me and Sandora. Some of them even greeted us with vigor. I felt dizzy listening to them. They said that one woman was equivalent to five hundred ducks. At this moment, I felt like I was almost at Baiyangdian …
"Silence!!" In the end, it was Zeus who used the advantage of being a giant. He roared in the air and even Wenwen was shaken down — — Speaking of which, why was the one who had been unlucky since the beginning? Did she have a grudge against Zeus?
"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down. Fran Doru, don't bite my leg. Orange Meow, get down from Hades' arm, that's not a tree! Lian Lian, if you keep swaying, you're going to fall off the mountain! Hui Ye, please wake Hong Meiling up, otherwise she's going to be trampled to death … Oh, she's going to faint from being trampled, then … then you should hurry up and save her, idiot! Little Red, Little Red, it's fine for you to have a picnic with Hui Ye, but can the two of you take into consideration your reputation for strange recipes? If you continue to cause trouble, I'll make Sandora eat the two of you for an entire week without anesthetics! "
I was flustered and exasperated as I tried to calm down this group of unruly and undisciplined monsters. It was simply too difficult, they had no concept of obeying rules. My god, how did Ling Meng successfully protect the world from these people? After a series of shouting, only the final warning to Hui Ye and Little Red seemed to have some effect. Even the undying people of Penglai couldn't accept the terrifying threat of being chewed on by a strange glutton for an entire week. But what was sad was that after Hui Ye and Little Red quieted down, You Youzi immediately came over. It seemed like he wanted to discuss the matter of eating with Sandora.
Were they usually this noisy?
"Everyone is a little excited to see you guys." It was unknown when Yagumzi had come out from the side. Half of her body was sticking out of the gap, and she used a folding fan to cover half of her face. She giggled and said, "Monsters are very enthusiastic towards their friends."
"This enthusiasm is really unbearable," I muttered as I looked at the Eternal Seventeen who had been sleeping all day and had already skipped work for half a month. "What's going on? What happened to you and Hades?"
At the mention of this question, even Mother Purple … Sister Purple, who had never been serious, finally put down her folding fan and answered seriously, "We encountered an unknown fleet at the border of the Empire. Furthermore, it was a ghost ship."
