Chapter 220 Goddesses
Old God's Domain, inside the Temple of Atlas.
Since the gods of Olympus left the world and went to the new divine realm, there are only three goddesses left in the old divine realm. They are the daughters of Atlas.
They are the eldest daughter Hespera, the second daughter Calypso and the youngest daughter Anthea.
Because the old divine realm was isolated from the power of magic, the elder two of the three goddesses were already showing signs of aging.
"If this continues, sooner or later we will die of aging."
Calypso looked at himself getting older day by day in the mirror and couldn't help but complain.
"Shut up! Do you think I don't know about this kind of thing?"
When it comes to aging, the eldest daughter Hespera has the most say. She has aged to the point where her hair is gray and even her physical functions have declined.
Now I can only rely on the last bit of power from the Tree of Life and my own natural ability to survive.
Only the last goddess, Anthea, is still as young as ever, and she still has a long life.
However, once her sisters all grow old and pass away, in this lonely old divine realm, who else can accompany her to continue her life?
Anthea shuddered at the thought of that lonely scene.
But there is a thick barrier between this world and the human world, and now they have no power to leave.
Calypso rolled his eyes and smiled evilly as if he had thought of something.
"Why don't we ask that damn necromancer again? Since he can get in, he must also know how to get out."
How could Hespera not know her little thoughts? She just wanted to find a reason to torture the necromancer. If they could stretch it out, they would have succeeded long ago.
She just waved her hand irritably, telling her to get out of here.
Calypso didn't care and went out happily.
Anthea watched her second sister leave and couldn't help but say: "She clearly knew that the necromancer did not come in through normal means.
Strictly speaking, the necromancer's way of entering the divine realm is somewhat similar to that of Sabah. He has already experienced death once and entered the divine realm through a rare magical ritual.
Then he was caught by the three goddesses. In fact, he didn't know that there were still three gods left here. It can be said that his luck had declined to the extreme.
Anthea wanted to say something else, but Hespera suddenly stopped her with her hand and looked like she was listening.
"Shh! Don't talk!"
Anthea didn't know why, but after a while, a voice became clearer and clearer, and even Anthea heard it.
【Poor, poor goddess...】
"Who are you!"
Hespera suddenly stood up, alert to her surroundings, but she couldn't see any enemies, and the sounds seemed to come from all directions.
[I am the pride of the seven deadly sins. 】
Seven deadly sins!
Hespera's face changed and her expression became very fearful.
The Seven Deadly Sins, as the incarnation of original sin, have existed in the world since the beginning of mankind.
Zeus once captured them personally and locked them in a box.
Yes, that is the famous "Pandora's Box", and everyone should know the story behind it.
After Pandora's Box was released, the Seven Deadly Sins once again wreaked havoc on the world.
The Necromancer Council, which had seized the power of the gods at that time, assumed Asgardian responsibilities and has been fighting the Seven Deadly Sins.
Until they were re-sealed, but now, is it possible that the seal has been opened again?
Hespera, who had malicious suspicions about humans, mocked fiercely.
But she didn't notice that this was actually the power of "arrogance" at work.
As one of the old gods, Anthea naturally knew this allusion. Although she had not seen it with her own eyes, she could understand the horror of the seven deadly sins from the passages in the literature.
There was a sudden surge of worry in her heart.
"Seven deadly sins... What do you want from me? Why don't you dare to show up?"
Hespera, who knew the other party's details, sat back in her seat and assumed a fearless posture.
Although she lost her strength, she never lost her spirit, so her demeanor as a goddess was still full of aura.
"Arrogance" laughed softly, and its voice continued to ring in the hall.
[Dear His Highness Hespera, we have no ill intentions, we just want to offer a little bit of strength to you who have been treated unfairly. 】
Hespera frowned. She was not a fool. She knew that no good thing in this world came to her for free, so she asked, "What do you want?"
[We want Shazam dead!]
At this point, "arrogance" truly reveals the emotion of hatred.
Hespera and Anthea are curious about why it hates Shazam so much.
"Shazam...he is currently imprisoned in God's Domain."
Hespera thought it was talking about necromancer Shazam.
But Pride quickly corrected her.
[No, No, No, the ‘Shazam’ I am talking about is not the old necromancer, but the new Asgardian, who is also named ‘Shazam’. 】
"Arrogance" deliberately strengthens the tone in order to emphasize Dane's threatening nature:
[This generation of Shazam is very strong, very strong, and can even subdue hell lord-level demons. My brothers and sisters and I have been able to break through the seal a long time ago, but we are still not sure of defeating him. 】
Hespera thoughtfully said: "Is that why you need us?"
【Yes. 】
Seeing that her eldest sister was really considering this matter, Anthea couldn't help but admonish: "Sister, they are not worthy of belief, they are the seven deadly sins!"
[But our goals are the same, dear Your Highness. 】
The voice of "arrogance" sounded again.
[Besides, you seem to have no choice but us. Your Highness Hespera, how long can you live? 】
Hespera's hands on the armrests tightened suddenly, and these words touched her pain point.
"I need to think about it."
"Sister!" Anthea was in disbelief.
But her eyes couldn't shake Hespera's will. If this was really the only way to extend their lives, and even regain everything they had taken away from them by the necromancers, what if they made a deal with the devil?
In this world, there are only winners and losers.
When they seize power and become the last gods in the world, they will achieve something that even Zeus, the god of gods, has never achieved.
They may become the main gods of the new era!
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Anthea could only retreat sadly.
The "arrogant" voice sounded again: [We will wait for your final decision...]
Peace returned to the temple again.
But Hespera didn't know that at the same time, Calypso was also talking to "Envy".
Moreover, Calypso was more decisive than Hespera. She immediately accepted the "jealousy" proposal and gained part of its power.
This power may not be eye-catching, but in this world of death without demons, it is like a ray of sweet spring pouring on Calypso's heart. 060 Magic, this is the power of magic. "
Calypso almost cried with joy. How long had it been since she had such power?
She wants more!
Without the stimulation of "greed", Calypso quickly fell into the trap of the seven deadly sins.
"I want to leave this hellish place, what can you do?"
[We can open a door to the Rock of Eternity, but this door can only allow a person with pure power to pass through. 】
Due to the magic warning set by Dane, evil power above a certain threshold will trigger an alarm, so they came up with a way to bypass this magic using "good" attribute force testicles.
But this condition cuts off Calypso's path. Her own power attribute is Chaos, and now she has accepted the power of "jealousy", which is completely incompatible with "purity".
She said displeased: "What do you mean by that? There is no way I can get through that door."
[Be patient, Your Highness Calypso, have you forgotten? You also have a sister who meets the conditions for passage. 】
Calypso mused.
Anthea? She is indeed the right person, and... she is very obedient, maybe you can use her.
She continued to ask: "What about after letting Anthea pass?"
"Jealousy" continued:
[We will pick her up on the other side, guide her, and open the door between the two worlds on this side of the Rock of Eternity. At that time, Your Highness Calypso can come out! 】
Calypso nodded with satisfaction. This method is not bad. The only difficulty is to convince Anthea...and Hespera!
However, Lypso smiled.
Compared to her and Anthea, Hespera is the one who should be worried the most. .
