Even though everyone in the team has long been used to seeing Lin Biao's unfathomableness, at the moment, they are still surprised by Lin Biao's strength.
Or whatever happened to this man, it was nothing surprising.
There were two time points between the team and Lin Biao that did not come together. The first time point was when he took Sun Jie on a motorcycle to look for Pandora's Box in the Desert of Lost Souls. The stage is when the team fights Ares and he takes Nolan into the Temple of Athena.
These two points in time actually determine to a large extent the behavior pattern and path forward of the team, but everyone is not fully aware of this yet.
Qi Zhen could see a large part of the deal or contest between him and the Goddess of Victory in the Temple of Athena, and Liang Sicheng could see a small part. However, the riddle-like exchange between the clouds and mountains could not be seen from the sight of the two. It has already fallen somewhere where others cannot see it.
Over in the Desert of Lost Souls, judging from the few words reported back by Sun Jie, Lin Biao's strength has reached a level that no one can match. The death of Cronus alone is a puzzling and even shocking event.
You must know that in the third part of God of War, Kratos relied on the Sword of Olympus to stab Cronus between the eyebrows to completely kill the Titan.
However, the number of times the team has seen Lin Biao take action is very few. If you think about it carefully, from the game of Three Kingdoms to now, Lin Biao has become more and more unfathomable. If you take away the identity of his teammates, then his strength is enough to make People are wary, even fearful.
Or as we all know, nothing can be achieved by asking Lin Biao here. Everyone in the team continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. They were no longer surprised by the power displayed by Lin Biao.
It was still the same monotonous stone road, but this time without deliberately controlling the speed, the team only advanced for about an hour before they arrived at the end of the road, where the legendary Tribunal of the Underworld was located.
Three huge statues of gods seem to stand between heaven and earth, which is daunting.
There are only three idols and nothing else.
The judges of the underworld were Minos, Rhadamandis, and Aeacus.
The three people just stood there, staring in the direction where everyone came from, as if they had been waiting for the arrival of the dead souls for countless thousands of years.
Their height can be described as "standing tall on the sky and the earth", so even before they get close, the pressure that seems to come from eternity hits everyone in the team.
Qi Zhen sometimes laments that the game God of War can always create an epic sense of grand battles, and the tall or towering boss is the main source of this sense of grandeur.
Whether it's Ares, the Sphinx, or Cronus, they can be said to be the pinnacle of giant boss fighting methods, but it's a pity that the team has never seen them.
It must be a very interesting thing if you can kill these three judges of the underworld.
Qi Zhen eliminated those things from her mind, and after explaining to everyone, she took the lead and walked in front.
Even with Persephone's blessing, everyone must be prepared to fight these three judges of the underworld. No one knows when an accident will occur.
The three judges stood in the wasteland, with figures on the left and right sides
There is a road, one leads to the Elysée Gardens, and the other naturally leads to Tartarus.
These three people are all children of Zeus, but they are just dead ones. Qi Zhen doesn't want to cause trouble, but she also knows that this hurdle cannot be bypassed.
According to Persephone's instructions, there is an "Altar of Judgment" in front of the three judges of the underworld. The souls of the deceased must walk into the altar one by one and accept the judgment of the three judges. Then they will be transported to the corresponding road. Once they set foot on the altar, they will be judged by the three judges. Either way, there is no possibility of turning back and we can only keep moving forward.
If you try to skip the trial or step directly onto the roads on both sides, you will be ruthlessly strangled by the divine power of the three judges. No dead soul can escape this rule.
Not even Persephone, because that's the rule.
The only difference between them and the dead souls is that when they step onto the altar of judgment, the three judges of the underworld will not judge them, because living people cannot judge them, but what Persephone can do is It is to protect them from the divine attacks of the three judges.
To put it bluntly, it is to sell the underworld a thin surface so that they can pass here.
After the team passed the level of the three judges, they did not go to the roads on both sides, but passed through the feet of the three judges and went straight to Hades' palace.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, the team finally approached the statues of the three judges. They became more majestic in their sight, a bit like Qi Zhen's sense of déjà vu when she saw the Leshan Giant Buddha up close.
In front of him was the fork at the end of the road. The inconspicuous black magic circle on the ground was emitting a hazy black light. Is this the Altar of Judgment?
Qi Zhen looked at the circular formation that was only two meters in diameter, took a deep breath and stopped.
"I'll go first." He said.
Then he took a step forward without hesitation and stood in the center of the altar.
The black light shined brightly, and the heads of the three underworld judges made a roaring sound like stones moving. The three heads "looked" at Qi Zhen in the center of the altar.
Their eyes looked a little dull, not like living creatures, but like some unconscious AI artificial intelligence.
Immediately afterwards, the black light under his feet disappeared, the black magic circle returned to normal, and the eyes of the three judges no longer radiated light.
Qi Zhen walked out of the altar cautiously, does this count as passing?
Things turned out unexpectedly smoothly, which Qi Zhen had not expected. Everyone in the team came in turn and stood in the center of the altar one by one, receiving the baptism of black light.
When Lin Biao finally walked out of the altar, everything returned to its original state again.
"Is this the end?" Wang Jianguo couldn't believe it.
"Is it over?" Liang Sicheng was also a little unsure.
"Let's go." Qi Zhen said and walked straight to the feet of the three judges.
Walking under the feet of such a behemoth will always give people an indescribable pressure, not to mention that they don't know whether these three people will suddenly attack the team, so they seem to be a little tiptoeing.
It's like being a thief.
However, things went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.
The team had gone very far in the wasteland, and the three judges did not attack them. This made them feel a little uncomfortable as they were used to emergencies.
After resuming the journey for dozens of minutes, a magnificent building appeared in everyone's sight.
Hades' palace has finally arrived.
The palace of Hades is different from what the world imagines. For example, before Qi Zhen arrived here, she had imagined that this palace would be a bit like Naxxramas in World of Warcraft, full of skeleton soldiers and ghosts. The tower is filled with things like Stitch Haters and giant spiders.
However, in fact, this palace is extremely luxurious. It still follows the style of ancient Greek luxurious palaces. It is richly carved and magnificent. If it were placed in the human world, it would still be a masterpiece that would amaze all architects.
The only thing is that this palace is still so lifeless black, and the patterns and reliefs on it look so weird, it makes people feel as if some monsters are about to jump out of it and fight everyone for three hundred rounds.
In front of the gate of Hades' palace, a dead soul who looked like a butler seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. After seeing the team, he did not come up to him and just waited quietly on the spot.
Everyone walked forward slowly and came to him.
"Distinguished guests, my master is waiting at home. Please come with me." The butler's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was far away in the horizon, but also close before his eyes.
After saying these words, the main entrance of the magnificent palace made a rumbling sound, and two huge doors opened in response, revealing the dark corridor inside.
The butler was not too polite and turned around to lead the way.
Everyone looked at each other.
If you want to kill the other party, you must first see the other party. Since Hades has already shown how to treat guests, the best way for now is to make peace with them as they come. The so-called guest does as he pleases, but in this way.
Everyone in the team filed in.
"In order to welcome all the guests, my master specially used corpse oil to light all the candles in the palace. You know, the last time my master did this, it was because Lord Tartarus was not used to the darkness here."
As he walked, the housekeeper pointed to the candlestick on the thick load-bearing pillar in the hall and said.
The white pull on it is emitting a faint light.
Nuo Lan was a little scared, so she took Sun Jie's arm and followed her step by step.
"Oh, thank you Lord Pluto for your attention." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Oh, by the way, this carpet under your feet is dyed with the blood of three thousand children, and the leather is made from the most delicate skin of five hundred virgins," the butler continued.
This time, not only Nuo Lan, but also Liang Sicheng felt his feet were a little hot.
Along the way, the housekeeper introduced the furnishings in the palace to everyone, as if he were showing off his mahogany furniture and expensive decorations to his friends. However, the materials used for the decorations were almost all derived from human corpses. Everyone in the team was so disgusted that it was difficult to appreciate such a deformed aesthetic.
After walking down the wide corridor that felt long but was actually not that long, everyone finally followed the housekeeper to the main hall, and their eyes suddenly became clear.
The cheerfulness is only compared to the corridor just now. In fact, both the corridor and the entire palace itself are no less than the most luxurious palace Qi Zhen has ever seen. Even if she and her team were staying in the preparation hall—— Compared with Daleiyin Temple, they don't give in too much.
