Chapter 484: Scented Carriage, Plucking Stars
Hercules's combat experience was incredibly rich. He used the shield in his left hand to block Kane's chop, while the longsword in his right hand, like a venomous Viper, darted out from beneath the shield, thrusting directly towards Kane's chest.
Kane's reaction was also swift. He formed a claw with his left hand, and from his five fingers, five streams of Geng Metal Divine Wind emerged. As the five streams of Geng Metal Divine Wind brushed past the longsword in Hercules's hand, the outer layer of the longsword shattered like tofu.
The five divine winds blew over the sword's blade, as if a red-hot dining knife were slicing through butter on a plate. The outermost edge of the longsword instantly shattered into countless thumb-sized fragments, which then transformed into the finest dust in the wind and drifted away. Immediately after, the five streams of divine wind summoned by Kane, mixed with countless Spectral Souls and Malevolent Spirits, blew directly towards Hercules.
The wind was incredibly fast, leaving Hercules no time to reconsider. Unable to dodge, he quickly raised his damaged shield to block.
The Geng Metal Divine Wind howled against the shield. The shield felt as if it were being struck by countless hammers weighing billions of tons, causing his arm to go numb. Rustling powder was scraped away from the shield by the wind, which cut like knives.
Protecting his head, Hercules suddenly felt an unprecedented severe pain erupt from his chest and abdomen. His throat tasted sweet, and large gushes of blood poured from the corner of his mouth. The bones in his chest faintly emitted several crisp cracking sounds, followed by a series of dense, fine cracking sounds! However, the wind summoned by Kane did not break Hercules's fighting spirit. As one of the most famous heroes in Greek Mythology, Hercules possessed an inherently untamed and unyielding nature.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to complete the Twelve Labors.
Although he was blown back like an artillery shell by the five Geng Metal Divine Winds for a full thirty to forty li, staggering, he barely managed to regain his footing.
Nevertheless, he re-donned his Lion Hide Cloak, enduring the knife-like, agonizing pain of the Geng Metal Divine Wind, and charged back towards Kane against the wind. The Lion Hide Cloak Hercules wore was made from the hide of an absurdly large male lion. That lion was born of Typhon and Echidna. This male lion was impervious to saber and spear. Hercules had also relied on his great strength to strangle it to death. Killing this male lion was one of the Twelve Labors Hercules completed.
Later, Hercules skinned the dead lion and tanned its hide into a Lion Hide Cloak. It was precisely because of this cloak that he was able to travel through the Geng Metal Divine Wind.
Hercules switched to a different sword and, fighting against the wind, closed in on Kane. The two began to fight again.
Just as Kane and Hercules were clashing, a shadow silently appeared behind Kane, taking advantage of the moment Kane was fending off the momentum of Hercules's attack.
That flat shadow suddenly materialized from a flat, paper-thin shadow into a Middle-Aged Man nearly two meters tall with an extraordinary appearance!
"Hiss!"
Hades looked at Kane, who had his back turned to him. His eyes, flickering with eerie gray-black mist, showed not a trace of hesitation. He directly raised the single-pronged trident in his hand and thrust it straight towards Kane's back.
This two-pronged trident had been with him for thousands of years, and yet it had been broken by this man before him. This grudge, for Hades, was even more detestable than Zeus seducing his wife.
Seeing the single-pronged trident in his hand about to pierce the man before him, Hades's eyes revealed the pleasure of getting his revenge.
Just as the tip of Hades's single-pronged trident was about to touch Kane's back, an inconspicuous stone fell from the sky. It was as if a child had casually tossed it. It landed squarely on Hades's forehead, on his Heavenly Spirit.
"Bang!"
Under Zeus's horrified gaze, with an extremely dull sound, that inconspicuous stone landed on Hades's Heavenly Spirit. His brother instantly exploded!
Literally! Underworld King Hades's head was directly penetrated by a round stone the thickness of a thumb. His head and body instantly exploded into a pile of sticky gore.
At the same time, a spatial rift the thickness of a thumb was left directly in the Void Space, extending for thousands of li—
Zeus stared blankly at the spatial rift, then glanced at the sticky pool of flesh and blood. Underworld King Hades had exploded, and the blood water splattered everywhere, instantly staining the Void Space within several hundred meters around red—
Zeus's body trembled violently. Following the direction from which the stone had been thrown, he saw that above the patches of white Cloud Layer, a treasure carriage had appeared at some unknown time. Amidst the steaming mist, the carriage was hidden within the Cloud Layer.
Around it were Golden Armored soldiers as Guards, and the carriage was pulled by a three-headed Golden Dragon several hundred meters long. That authority and style made Zeus feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.
One must know, as the third-generation God King of the Olympian Pantheon and the co-lord of the Pantheon, his own travels were not this extravagant! "Bah!"
Zeus spat fiercely towards the carriage in the Cloud Layer that was emitting five-colored radiance. The envious, jealous, and hateful God King momentarily even forgot his original intention.
In the sticky pool of blood mud, a severed hand reached out towards him: "Save, save, save me!"
Half an hour ago, a carriage pulled by a three-headed dragon crossed Dimensions and the Void, entering this Void Space like a rising sun. Wherever the carriage passed, it left behind long trails of Flames.
Above the Cloud Layer, inside the Huagai Yunxiang Carriage, Hela walked around, admiring the luxurious carriage that Tang Song had manifested using the Reality Stone.
The carriage had an ancient and elegant Eastern design, comparable in size to an ordinary palace. The entire carriage displayed seven-colored hues. Hela touched it with her hand; the material was neither gold nor jade, and within it, streaking light flowed across the carriage. Curtains could also be drawn down beside the carriage. The curtains were adorned with Jeweled Curtains, pearls and jade tinkling, inlaid with various Treasure Pearls and beautiful jade, including emeralds, luminous pearls, dust-repelling pearls, fire-repelling pearls, wind-repelling pearls, water-repelling pearls, cooling pearls, nine-curved pearls, face-fixing pearls, mutton-fat jade, celestial star jade, Lantian jade...
There were no less than a hundred items, each with its own marvel, each an Exotic Material! Just these Treasure Pearls and beautiful jade on the curtains alone were enough to make the carriage unsinkable in water, unburnable by fire, and unmoved by the eight winds!
In front of the curtains was a Screen. The Screen was also emerald green, carved with mountains, rivers, and ocean waves.
Behind the carriage was also a Screen, a pair with the front one, carved with flying Immortal maidens. Hela pushed open the Screen, and the light from outside shone on it. The carved waves, tides, mountains, forests, and pine ravines seemed to come alive. The carriage faintly echoed with surging ocean waves and the rustling of a pine sea.
On the back Screen, the flying Immortal maidens also began to dance. Their singing was clear and bright, and their dance was indescribably graceful and refreshing, uplifting the spirit. It is said that only after three generations of officialdom does one truly understand how to dress and eat. Just by looking at this carriage, Hela finally understood the sheer gap.
Their Aesir were considered one of the top civilizations in the entire Universe. On Earth and in the Nine Realms, they were even called Gods. But whether it was their magnificent Heavenly Palace or this "Emperor Gouchen"'s travel carriage manifested by Tang Song!
Hela truly saw what Foundation meant!
Compared to the Divine Pantheon behind Tang Song, their Aesir were more like nouveau riche who had recently risen to prominence and had yet to shed their impetuosity.
Or rather, the two simply couldn't be compared. The Divine Pantheon behind Tang Song pursued Longevity Equal to Heaven and Earth, living as long as the sun and moon, or even Transcendence of the entire Universe. The Aesir, however, still had to endure the suffering of Ragnarök. Even a God King's Lifespan did not exceed five thousand years. Hela pulled back the curtains. On the large green bed, Tang Song was holding a Daoist text in one hand and a bowl of Tea in the other, drinking Tea and reading the scroll with relish.
