The peaceful crusade meeting seemed to suddenly become less harmonious due to the appearance of a certain person, and an uneven crack opened up.
Everyone's state has changed from being impassioned and excited just now, and everyone wanted to go to the world's strongest man, Superman, to compete with each other, to now they are avoiding each other's eyes.
The situation happened so fast that it was a bit hard to accept.
…………
Among all the people, the calmest ones were actually Vulcan and Jesse, two guys who had no communication at all.
As gods hidden in the world, although one is a blacksmith and the other is the owner of a dance hall, there seems to be no connection and communication, but after Hades escaped, he was able to find out who had worked with him for many years and who had also worked with him for many years. Isn't it strange that Vulkan formed an alliance and betrayed him at the last moment? Could he have found other hidden gods?
That's what Vulcan went to find.
The first to be found was Jesse, who provided the venue for this "Parliament of the Gods."
They are both hidden gods. They have been in the human world for hundreds of years. It is not credible to say that they have never been seen before.
What's more, these two are typical examples of people who hide in the city. They are hidden, but not completely hidden. They usually squeeze into the subway, drink coffee, and watch TV like normal people...
Because of their special identities and information, they will always pay more attention to things outside of life.
Just like Superman, Batman, Lynn, etc.
Although compared with other superheroes who protect the city, Linn has never been well-known, and it seems that he has never done anything serious. It is because he once directly opposed the superiors, and was banned by some people. Related Information……
but. Those who care about these things will definitely know something about Linn.
Through various channels, they will always get what they want and information.
For example, Brother Martian and Diana who once found Lin En have similar principles.
At present, it seems that Vulcan and Jesse are not the only ones who know something about the name Linn.
He looked at Jesse quietly and exchanged glances. Vulkan shook his head gently: It seems that there is no need for the two of us to stand out as "bad guys".
……………………
Hades obviously did not expect that things would turn out like this.
Therefore, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and his frown could kill a duck.
"Vulkan!"
The first person to be targeted was obviously his "follower", "debtor", and dual ally within the alliance: Vulkan.
To be honest, Hades felt "betrayed" again, which was so sad.
"Why are you so..."
"I can explain, Hades. I can explain."
Pushing out his hands, Vulkan stood up helplessly, walked to Hades, turned around, and looked at the gods still surrounding him in a ring.
"In case anyone doesn't know much about those special existences among humans, let me explain them to you."
At the same time, he turned his attention to Hades.
"snort!"
With an angry snort, Hades took two big steps forward and sat down where Vulcan had just sat.
"Thank you, thank you for your understanding."
Vulkan paced around, lowering his head: "Where to start... Oh, yes, Superman.
When Superman was mentioned just now, everyone was full of emotions and... generous.
I believe that everyone comes from the heart, really, I believe it. Because in the eyes of people like us, Superman is really not a terrible enemy.
He might be able to defeat us... Carl, please hear me out. "
After stopping Karl, who seemed to be unconvinced by Superman and stood up with a bottle in hand to refute something, Vulcan continued his explanation.
"Superman, he can defeat us.
But, that’s all. He is an easy guy to deal with. He can even possess or control any human being, even if he doesn't know him, even if he is a criminal. It's that simple, and he can blackmail him.
He will not kill us, not even after our defeat.
He will not eat your peacock, your snake, your goat... He will not break your horns, tear off your wings, chop off your legs...
He won't pluck out your heart and let it grow back. He won't split your head and leave you dead. He won't give you a golden apple and then poison you. He won't curse you to become a monster. He won't curse you into a monster. Imprisoning your parents, or turning your son into stone, and letting your daughter marry a cow, will not tie you to a stone, press you in the eye of the sea, will not cut your wounds and sprinkle them all over From seeds grow foul-smelling flowers…
No, Superman can't do it. He can't do any of the things we used to do.
He is a very kind guy, so he is easy to deal with, and the loss against him is not too big.
But, but! "
Vulkan raised a finger and said with emphasis and high pitch: "But! Linn! This human named Linn, he will! He will definitely do it!
Any terrible thing you can think of, he can do. "
Just like Hades who was standing here talking just now, Vulkan looked around everyone and looked at everyone, including Hades.
"Believe me, if you go against Superman and you fail, you will most likely be able to escape. You can just blackmail someone and control whoever you want. Even if you can't escape, you will just be locked up, that's all.
Not Lynn. "
"He is stronger than Superman, will he kill me directly?"
Karl, an alcoholic who still didn't understand the situation, asked nonchalantly.
"Death? Haha."
Vulkan's expression was very playful: "If I could die easily, that would be okay.
Linn is far less powerful than Superman. However, it is difficult to find out his strength, and even those who want to buy his information will be scolded by those guys and hang up the phone.
All I know is that he has been doing things in a very confident and unrestrained way, but he has always lived a good life.
If you face him and you win, he will never die, and then..."
"Then what?" This time it was Jesse who asked.
"Then...then you will be haunted by him forever. He will be like a tarsal maggot, like an eternal curse, haunting you forever.
If you lose, it will be even worse. "
Narrowing his eyes, Vulkan fell into memories: "I once caught a demon from hell by an unexpected coincidence.
In order to extract its soul, I tortured it for a long time and learned many stories about demons walking around the world.
It was this guy who told me about Lynn and made me know so much.
You won't believe what it says.
it says……
It says that Lynn ran away from the human world and went to hell to kill demons? ! It was chased and escaped from hell by Lin En! "
Vulkan's expression started to look strange as he spoke, with a look of disbelief.
The audience below also sounded a little strange.
This...is this really a human being?
These gods know what hell is much better than humans. In a sense, these gods depend on the human world to survive. Even their divine realms only exist because they depend on the human world.
But hell is not.
The place in hell is much scarier than any other divine realm.
Many of the great demons in hell are as good as gods, and many are even stronger than the peak levels of gods like them.
And the Lord of Hell: Lucifer...
Some of the gods here have personally seen him kill the main god of a pantheon in an understatement. And Hades and Vulcan had even witnessed Zeus kneeling down to pray for life without any hesitation when facing Lucifer.
With such a being sitting in hell, who...monsters...whatever can go to hell to hunt down demons! And chased the devil out of hell? !
This is simply...
"Vulkan, do you know what you are talking about?"
Drunk Karl seemed to have sobered up and threw the bottles on the ground: "Are you really talking about a human being?! I think you must be crazy!"
I do not believe! "
After slamming the bottle to the ground, the drunkard Carl turned around and kicked the chair away, making a harsh friction sound, and walked out angrily: "I'm going to find that guy named Lynn right now and kill him!"
Teng Teng took a few long steps and walked a long distance away. When he saw that he opened the curtain that blocked the inside and outside with one hand and walked outside, Karl's hand that opened the curtain stopped.
Slowly turned around and looked back. Everyone was sitting where they were, except for Vulkan who was standing in front of the stage and looked at Vulcan with a smile on his lips but cold eyes. Except, no one made any move.
"Ha, you want to provoke me to do something stupid? I won't let you succeed! Humph!"
Throwing his hand angrily, the curtain returned to its original position, shaking.
Karl walked back with small steps and an expressionless face. He held up his chair defiantly, as if he had seen nothing or done nothing. He sat back down and carried it to the side again. He drank from a wine bottle.
"...treacherous old ghost..."
Cursing silently in his mind, Vulcan's face remained calm.
All the gods here, even the youngest one, have traveled through history and come from the distant past to the present.
Compared with the short lifespan of humans, they have more time to witness trickery, conspiracy, bloodshed, and betrayal.
80-year-old human beings are already old. Regardless of their mental and physical strength, personality and temperament, it is difficult to continue as they were when they were young. They will also sit on a chair and look out the window all day long, not knowing how to reminisce. What.
Let alone 80 years, even if it is 800 years, the gods will not die of old age.
It is so common to be an ally today and an enemy tomorrow. Today they are brother and sister, tomorrow they are husband and wife...cough! I won’t mention Zeus here, he’s not here.
In short, no matter what the reason is, no matter whether it is really a deliberate design to plot against someone, if the alliance is successful, it is of course a good thing. Why should you deliberately lose when you can win.
And if the alliance fails, some god here, any one, any one! Including Hades!
Not only for Vulkan, but also for other gods.
If one dies, all the other gods will definitely be happy.
After all, they are all old acquaintances who have known each other for thousands of years, and they can talk for a long time if they just pick two of them and recount their grievances.
What happened to Hades? Can't he die?
"Ahem! Everyone, everyone!"
Seeing that the eyes of the gods began to "converge" again, and each of them began to hide some secrets in their eyes, avoiding each other, and suspicious of each other, Hades became anxious.
He quickly stood up, walked to Vulcan, and gave him a...not easy to explain, but not very friendly look. Hades turned to face the gods and said loudly: "Everyone, I know, you must have There are a lot of concerns, but, as I just said, it’s not what we need to do, it’s what we have to do! We have to do it!
Otherwise it will be too late, everyone!
Lynn…”
After a pause, Hades continued: "Lynn, he has never participated in the affairs of the gods before, that's because he doesn't know our existence.
Sadly, he knows that now.
He knew it from the moment he got into the door of my temple and accidentally let me go.
Everyone, do you still want to continue to escape? "
Maybe it touched everyone's heart, or maybe this "keep running away" was a bit too harsh after all, but everyone finally started to make eye contact again, no longer hiding their thoughts.
"Then, how to solve Linn's problem."
It was Jesse who spoke up.
"Hmph! Linn's problem will be solved by me, Hades! But..."
Hades rolled his sleeves: "After I deal with Linn, the position of God King of our covenant of gods will naturally be occupied by me, Hades. Don't you have any objections?"
Staring at the gods, Hades regained the feeling of being the protagonist.
"It's better... let my old woman do it."
The old woman stood up. She was actually not much shorter than Hades. If she stood up straight, she might be as tall as Hades.
“I seem to have lived for too long and I can’t die, which is really painful.
I'm not interested in whether it's a divine king or not. I only need……"
She took a step forward, approached Hades, stood up straight, and her aura seemed to be getting more powerful: "...I will eat that human being. In exchange and reward, I also want that Diana, and, Your Cerberus as a snack.
Hades, do you agree? "
The expressionless Hades smiled, lowered his head slightly, and bowed slightly: "Of course, as long as you can do it."
"Then, this one named Lynn will be handled by me. As for Diana, Hades will handle it.
As for that Superman..."
The old woman who had unknowingly seized the right to speak and forced Hades to retreat turned around and looked at the gods.
"snort!"
The drunkard Carl smashed another bottle and stood up: "Jesse, why don't you speak!"
"Haha, I~ I didn't say anything, Karl, why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will stop you?
Then let’s go together, what do you think~”
"...I'm afraid you won't dare to go!"
Karl sat down again, but his eyes kept scanning the other people who were silent.
"Well...it seems like it's too late for me to quit now.
Then, let me help you. They must have helpers too. "
The legless man stood up, holding on to the armrests of the chair. From under him, six legs emerged.
He is a big spider.
