Eastern part of the palace complex.
There are a large number of metal cages used for imprisonment, and in most of them, only a pile of human-like skeletons are left.
However, there are still six "prisoners" alive. Judging from their bodies that are two times larger than ordinary humans, it is not difficult to guess that they are the servants of Olympus.
But now they are wearing tattered clothes, skinny and skinny, with missing limbs. How can they still look like soldiers?
In the center of this area, there is a simple blacksmith workshop.
"Ding...ding...!" The intermittent sound of forging came from the workshop.
I saw the "blacksmith" who was also thin and missing both legs. He was sitting in a wheelchair and holding a hammer in one hand. His expression was dull and he was forging feebly.
On the shelves around the workshop, there are a dazzling array of weapons and armors.
"Blacksmith" is unkempt, and its face and the skin exposed outside its clothing are covered with hideous scars.
All the characteristics represent the identity of this "blacksmith". Hephaestus, one of the twelve main gods, is also the rejected husband of Aphrodite.
at this time.
The two Holy (Blood) Angels who were chasing the demons to this area made a noise when their magnetic boots stepped on the floor tiles, instantly alerting the Servant of God soldiers in the cage.
Even though their bodies were mutilated and extremely weak, they still managed to stand up and stared at the two holy angels with angry and firm eyes.
It seems that the holy angels are regarded as one of the demons who do violence and torture to them.
After Hephaestus heard the footsteps approaching it, he temporarily stopped his boring forging work and turned his head to look at the two holy angels.
?
When it saw chainswords, bolters, and especially Mjolnir III power armor, its empty eyes regained its luster, as these weapons and armors revived its interest.
At the same time, Hephaestus was not as hostile as the Servant of God soldiers, because it had discovered that the two visitors were not demons, but this also made it think deeply.
On the other hand, Holy Angel used communication to report as soon as they entered this area.
So before Hephaestus and the Servant of God soldiers had too much doubts, they saw two more original bodies walking into this area, and Artemis, who made them stare wide-eyed and couldn't believe whether it was real or fake.
One of the Servant Soldiers, who was missing his left calf and right forearm, released his left hand from grasping the metal fence, and slapped the beast's left face hard before losing balance while standing on one leg.
"Bang!" The sound was extremely loud.
Pain radiated from the cheek, indicating that it was now awake.
The other soldiers were equally excited because the arrival of Artemis gave them hope of rebirth.
As for Artemis, she looked at every surviving soldier with respect.
To be honest, it didn't expect that in addition to the original body and the Astartes, there were actually servants of the gods who could resist the most primitive desires in their hearts, ignore Aphrodite's bewitchment, and refuse degeneration and corruption.
This once again refreshed its understanding.
Hephaestus has not been corrupted, which is understandable. After all, his brother has a gentle personality, loves peace, and is also one of the main gods.
Regardless of the strength of these six Servant of God soldiers, their will alone is enough to gain the highest respect from Artemis.
Even Leon, Sanguinius and the two Holy Angels, who had remained silent, couldn't help but admire him.
Because alien spaces and demons are not only the enemies of human beings, but also the enemies of all intelligent races.
Finally, Artemis walked into the workshop and came to Hephaestus.
And inside the bridge of the Griffin.
[Abnormal phenomenon detected. The physical body of "Hephaestus" is in a weak state, and 400 points can be spent to carry out psychic plunder. 】
'oh? The Craftsman God is actually still alive? '
After listening to the system reminder, Sui Bian, overlooking Thera Island, couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He originally thought that the corrupted Aphrodite had already sacrificed or killed Hephaestus.
It is definitely an unexpected surprise to find out that he is still alive now.
But the spiritual power of the Craftsman God is really weak. It only takes four hundred to completely plunder it, otherwise Aphrodite would be so unhappy.
"gentlemen."
At this moment, the Red Queen, who was standing on his left hand side, told him about the discovery of six Servant of God soldiers and Hephaestus, as well as other information about the underground palace.
While listening to the report of the Red Queen, Sui Bian asked the system: "System, after Artemis was robbed of her spiritual energy by me, she can still make the full moon water with purification ability. What about Hephaestus?"
If I rob it of all its psychic energy, will it still have the ability to forge divine weapons? '
[Yes, even if he is robbed by psychic energy, Hephaestus still retains the ability to "forge". 】
After receiving the system's approval, Sui Bian immediately arrived: "Plunder." '
[400 points are deducted for plunder, and the remaining points of the host are 260 points.
Looting…
The plunder is complete, and the host has obtained all of Hephaestus' psychic powers. 】
After the system's words fell, Sui Bian once again felt power filling his body.
Today, he spent a total of 2,300 points in order to plunder Medusa, Artemis, and Hephaestus.
Although there are only 60 points left, his spiritual energy has experienced an unprecedented surge, and the range of his spiritual energy has been greatly increased, and his ten "biological sons" have also made a qualitative leap.
Not long after the plunder was completed.
"Sir." The Red Queen who made the report asked Sui Bian: "Artemis swears by its godhead that Hephaestus and the six soldiers have not been corrupted or corrupted. Sir, how should we deal with this matter?" Seven anomalies.”
Standing in the bridge, Sui Bian could easily see the situation in the underground palace and personally confirmed that what Artemis said was true.
"Hmm..." He muttered to himself: "The company seems to need a team for different spaces."
In fact, he originally had the idea of waiting for the Astartes to reach a certain number, selecting the absolute elite from them, and forming a special team specifically responsible for fighting against demons.
Artemis has the ability to purify, and the six servants of the god are strong-willed and not afraid of corruption. They seem to meet the criteria for joining this team.
But Sui Bian required more detailed planning.
As for Hephaestus, that was Sui Bian's initial goal, a "treasure".
With this craftsman, the Primarchs' power armor and weapons can be fully upgraded, and a variety of equipment can be created for elite troops.
However, before that, he needed Artemis to ask Hephaestus what happened to the Olympian gods.
Then he said to the Red Queen: "First send technicians to carry out standard cleaning and destruction procedures, and Sanguinius and the Blood Angels will be responsible for guarding it.
Let Leon and his Dark Angel lead Artemis, Hephaestus and the six soldiers back to the ground. "
"Yes." The Red Queen responded.
After ending the conversation, Sui Bian used his spiritual energy to cover the entire Thera Island, first "erasing" all connections between the underground palace and the alien space, and at the same time providing shelter for the technical personnel who were preparing to enter, so that they would have an absolutely safe place. environment of.
