Chapter 313 - Slaying Three G.o.ds Straight, Zeus Strikes
"He poked Ares to death with one finger!"
"He killed Apollo with just one palm!"
"How powerful is he? How does he compare to Zeus and Odin?"
"This Kryptonian is really too powerful. No wonder he dared to challenge the pantheon alone. It turns out that he really has something."
"Since the Kryptonians" arrival, they have been very mysterious. The outside world knows very little about them. This young man is the first one. No one expects him to be so bada.s.s."
"How powerful would the other Kryptonians be when a young Kryptonian is already so powerful? Are the Kryptonians going to rule the earth?"
A brouhaha erupted online.
The strength displayed by the Kryptonian young man shocked everyone.
Little did they know that the many Kryptonians in America were even more astounded.
Area 51, Nevada, America.
Area 51 was originally the base for the secret research of the Kryptonian s.p.a.cecraft by the American government. Things went wrong somehow, and the Kryptonians took control of the base.
Since then, the secret experimental base in Area 51 had become the base of the Kryptonians. At this moment, in a conference room at the base.
A brawny Kryptonian wearing a black armor was sitting on a chair. The giant screen in front of him was showing the scene in the pantheon.
"Kal, what"s this guy"s name?" Zod, the brawny Kryptonian, looked over at the other Kryptonian beside him. "He is good, young, very talented."
"You don"t know him?" The Kryptonian named Kal looked stunned. "I thought he was your man? You don"t know him either?"
"Nope." Zod frowned suddenly. "Neither yours nor mine, then who is he?"
"I don"t have a clue." Kal also frowned.
"Go find out who he is!" Kal ordered at once.
"Aye, General Kal!"
Someone responded immediately and carried out the order.
"Strange! Who is this guy?"
Zod and Kal exchanged a glance with each other, bewildered. The Kryptonians on Earth were divided into two groups.
There were over a thousand of them lived on Atlantis. It was not until recently they traveled through the wormhole to Earth.
The other group was the Earth"s Kryptonians, led by Kal.
They had been sleeping in the s.p.a.cecraft that had crashed into Earth. America broke the s.h.i.+eld of the s.p.a.cecraft and awakened them recently. There were about 800 Kryptonians.
The two groups of Kryptonians added up to about 2,000 people. Because they were much stronger than America, they could rule this country with an iron fist.
But neither Zod nor Kal knew the young Kryptonian on the screen. It really puzzled them.
"Is he, like us, a surviving Kryptonian?" Zod and Kal were deep in thought.
...
There was silence in the pantheon.
The young man"s display of strength shocked everyone. The kings of the G.o.ds were the most powerful beings among the G.o.ds, yet the young man had killed them one by one. How powerful was this young man?
Dionysus, the G.o.d of wine, one of the twelve major G.o.ds, glared at the young man with a murderous look in his eyes. "How dare you kill my brother!"
Another major G.o.d, Hermes, the G.o.d of thieves, was enraged, too. "How dare you, foreign devil, be so brazen disregard for the pantheon! You deserve a million deaths!"
Athena, the G.o.ddess of wisdom, also one of the twelve G.o.ds, even pointed at the young man with a scepter of wisdom. "Foreign devil, I will kill you for shedding my brother"s blood!"
"Kill me?" The young man shook his head and chuckled. "Don"t worry. Ares and Apollo died; G.o.ds like you all will also die. I will kill you all myself."
The young man flicked his fingers as soon as his voice trailed off.
Three strands of silver silk shot out from the young man"s fingertips. They defied the distance and suddenly hit the G.o.d of wine, the G.o.d of thieves, and the G.o.ddess of wisdom on their foreheads.
The next moment, something shocking happened.
The silverish silks suddenly exploded, blowing the heads of the three apart like exploding watermelons in clouds of blood mist.
Three headless corpses plunged from the air, hitting the floor paved with gold bricks with three m.u.f.fled thuds.
He killed the three G.o.ds—the G.o.d of wine, the G.o.d of thieves, and the G.o.ddess of wisdom—with just the flick of a finger, as if he was killing ants. He showed the power of the king of G.o.ds to the fullest.
The Greek G.o.ds were infuriated, but none of the major G.o.ds dared to step out and chide the young man.
This young man in front of their eyes was too powerful for them. They were afraid that if they were too vocal, they would end up like the G.o.d of wine and other G.o.ds.
At this time, Zeus, the king of the G.o.ds, stood up, his overwhelming aura filling the pantheon.
Zeus was going to intervene.
All the other G.o.ds looked at him, only to see lightning entwining with Zeus.
This lightning was magnificent. It was not ordinary lightning, but a stream of tiny tadpoles-like symbols putting out bright and powerful light.
Many people felt their eyes hurt by just glancing at the lightning. They felt dizzy, and their souls seemed to be torn in half.
"Evil Kryptonian! How dare you kill my son and daughter!"
Zeus"s voice was bitter, loud as thunder rumbling down from heaven to judge the world.
Indeed.
Whether it was Ares, Apollo, the G.o.d of wine, the G.o.d of thieves, and the G.o.ddess of wisdom, they were all his children.
Now they were killed by the young man.
"Zeus is going to strike!"
"Things are getting interesting!"
The Internet went into a frenzy. Not everyone knew the ordinary G.o.ds, but Zeus was well known to everyone.
He was the ruler of the Greek G.o.ds, the supreme king of G.o.ds, and the head of the twelve major G.o.ds.
All this gave Zeus the status of supremacy and unfathomable strength. Who would not be terrified when he was going to intervene?
"Zeus is the most powerful being among the G.o.ds. He will kill this young Kryptonian and avenge Ares and others!"
"Zeus should have intervened long ago. Had he done that, Ares and others would not have to die."
"It is a shame that the Greek G.o.ds have suffered a ma.s.sive casualty this time, losing five of the twelves major G.o.ds."
"If I were him, I would have fled. Never strip the mountain b.a.r.e and you will never be short of firewood. It is better to find a habitable planet and make yourself a G.o.d there."
People were commenting online, bombarding the major live streaming channels with bullet t.i.tles, almost overwhelming the servers of the major live streaming websites.
But what happened next told everyone that this was just the beginning.
After Zeus, a group of shadows rose into the air and attacked the young man with overwhelming force.
One was Poseidon, the G.o.d of the sea, who was wielding a trident over the waves.
Another was Hades, the king of the underworld, whose body effused black mist, as if he had just emerged from h.e.l.l.
Then there was Odin, the king of the G.o.ds, who was wearing a golden helmet with two ravens perching on his shoulders.
And there was Thor, the G.o.d of thunder, who was as strong as an ox and wielding a hammer that clapped with thunder and lightning.
...
After Zeus, several G.o.ds had also stood up. They were bursting with energy, which suggested that they were all kings of the G.o.ds.
