Chapter 322 - Breaking Free From Imprisonment, Ura.n.u.s
While the Kryptonians had been wiped out by Ling Jiu and the entire world was in a celebratory atmosphere, the remaining G.o.ds were paralyzed with terror.
The most powerful G.o.ds had been wiped out, and the rest were just small fry. Ling Jiu would definitely go after them. What should they do?
Meanwhile, in a palace at the center of Mount Olympus, several G.o.ds were quaking in their boots.
Had Zeus and other Greek G.o.ds still been there, they would definitely have recognized them as only some weak and marginalized Greek deities.
For example, the G.o.ddess of the sea: Thala.s.sa, the Dryads, the G.o.d of sleep: Hypnos, and the pure water G.o.ddess: Doris.
Right then, these weaker G.o.ds were extremely frightened. Due to their low status, they could not take part in today"s meeting of the pantheons. They could only stay at the mountainside to guard the wormhole, so they had escaped the holocaust. However, they knew what had happened in the outside world.
"What should we do now, everyone? That brutal human will definitely find us here. He will kill us all. What should we do?"
While a few G.o.ds panicked, the G.o.ddess of pure water spoke.
"Since things have come to such a pa.s.s, we can do nothing and have nowhere to go save for two alternatives."
"Which two alternatives?"
"We either destroy the wormhole and cut off the pa.s.sage between Olympus and Earth or return to planet Olympus and free the imprisoned Primordial G.o.ds," the pure water G.o.ddess slowly said.
"Free the Primordial G.o.ds?"
"No, no! We absolutely can"t do that!"
"The Primordial G.o.ds will kill us!"
The faces of several G.o.ds changed drastically upon hearing the second alternative. Their heads shook like a rattle drum.
It was because they knew who the Primordial G.o.ds were. They vehemently disagreed with the idea of freeing the Primordial G.o.ds, as it was no different from suicide.
The pure water G.o.ddess nodded in acknowledgment. She understood their concerns. After all, the Greek pantheon had experienced three generational transitions.
The current G.o.ds were the third generation, with Zeus as the king of the G.o.ds.
There had been two prior generations in the Greek pantheon, namely the second generation of the t.i.tans, and the first generation of the Primordial G.o.ds!
In contrast, the Primordial G.o.ds were too powerful to be killed. So they could only be permanently imprisoned on planet Olympus.
The pure water G.o.ddess believed that if they freed the Primordial G.o.ds, they would have hope. They might be able to defeat Ling Jiu, the human and restore the Greek pantheon"s dignity, as well as the glory.
However, no one dared to do that.
The reason was, the Primordial G.o.ds were too powerful. No one was sure what would happen once the Primordial G.o.ds were freed.
"We better go with the first alternative." The G.o.d of sleep shook his head. "Destroy the wormhole to cut off the pa.s.sage between Olympus and Earth. When that happens, the human won"t be able to go to Olympus, and we will be safe."
"I agree!"
"Me too!"
Several G.o.ds nodded in agreement. They had come to a consensus, so they went through the wormhole and arrived in Olympus at once.
Just when they were about to destroy the wormhole, the ground under their feet shook.
"This aura is…"
The G.o.d of sleep and others looked at each other as their faces changed. They rose into the sky in search of the repressive energy"s source.
They then saw a towering figure rising tens of thousands of meters in the blue sky.
This figure was majestic. His muscles were as solid as rocks, his blood vessels flowed like rivers, his hair was as thick as a forest, and his eyes sparkled like lakes.
He was ma.s.sive. Even the sunlight was blocked off when he stood in the sky.
A powerful repressive aura radiated from this majestic giant, wantonly repressing the earth, the soul of every living being.
"U-Ura.n.u.s!"
"This is the aura of Ura.n.u.s!"
The G.o.d of sleep"s face changed drastically.
"How is it possible? How did Ura.n.u.s come out? Hasn"t he been permanently imprisoned? How did he escape?"
"I think the death of Zeus and the other G.o.ds in battle has weakened the seal. That is why Ura.n.u.s was able to escape."
"That"s it! It must be so!"
"It doesn"t matter how Ura.n.u.s broke free. I am most concerned with what we should do."
"What can we do? Run! Ura.n.u.s will definitely kill us. He hates us all."
"That is absolutely right! Run!"
Just as the G.o.d of sleep and other G.o.ds were about to flee, Ura.n.u.s spotted them from the sky and grabbed them with his hand, which was more ma.s.sive than a mountain.
"No!"
The G.o.d of sleep and his mates screamed in horror, but it was useless. Ura.n.u.s" hand was not fast, yet he could easily grab them.
...
No one else knew what had happened on Olympus, but Ling Jiu was not sitting idly.
After slaughtering the 66 Kryptonians, he flew straight toward America.
He knew exactly how many Kryptonians there were on Earth since they were under Leoux"s monitoring. He wanted to capture all of the remaining Kryptonians.
It just took Ling Jiu one teleportation to reach America.
The funny thing was, the Kryptonian had apparently seen him coming, and they were flying toward Antarctica.
Their intentions could not have been more apparent; they planned to return to Mars before Ling Jiu could find them and destroy the wormhole.
Sadly, things did not always go according to plan, as reality was cruel. Before they could fly out of America, Ling Jiu intercepted them.
"Where are all of you going, eh?"
"You-You-You"re that human!"
The face of the leading Kryptonian sank, his voice trembling. "How did you arrive so fast?"
"Let"s cut the c.r.a.p. At present, you have one chance: surrender and become my obedient slaves. Don"t say I didn"t warn you." Ling Jiu waved his hand impatiently.
"Human, don"t go too far! We, Kryptonians would rather die as martyrs than become your slaves!"
"Leoux, grab them!" Ling Jiu did not give a d*mn and asked Leoux to capture them all. "Brainwash them as soon as possible. I have to go to the asteroid belt to expand the Inner World of the Golden Saiyan Ape avatar in two days."
"You got it." Leoux nodded in acknowledgment.
"Let"s clean up the lair of the major deities, capture those who have more potential, and brainwash them," Ling Jiu said. "The more the gardeners, the better."
"You got it. The Mayan deities are the closest to us. Let"s go there first. What do you think?"
"Proceed."
