Bab 30: The Beginning And The End Of The Behemoth Tide!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Behemoths did not seem afraid of death as they continued to throw themselves at the shoreline.
Lorne's expression changed. The divine sword in his hand immediately emitted a bright light as divine power flowed through the sword and gently descended.
In an instant, an invisible sword aura flew out with a zing, as if it was a scythe reaping across a field.
Woosh!!!
Countless monsters were cut into two halves, and the green liquid instantly corroded the nearby waters.
Lorn released seven or eight sword auras in a row to completely eliminate the wave of monsters. He glanced around and landed beside Athena, his face slightly pale.
However, there was not a hint of joy on his face. Instead, he was very solemn. "It seems that something has happened in the deep sea! This is not a natural calamity. Many coastal cities have to be experiencing the same thing!"
Naturally, Athena understood. Her eyes were filled with shock.
"No, I have to report this to Olympus! I need Zeus and the others to come and hold them back!"
Athena said worriedly.
"That's right! Go on ahead! I will watch over this place for you!"
Lorne understood Athena's thoughts and smiled lightly.
"Yes, I'll leave first!" Athena knew that time was paramount. She did not stand on ceremony with Lorne and quickly vanished from the spot.
Lorne stood alone on the sea, taking in the thick smell of blood. He did not speak, but looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
A few days had passed. Although the tide had ebbed by only the slightest, hundreds of monsters still appeared from time to time. Lorne dealt with them effortlessly.
On one particular wave, a creature made of ocean elements appeared from the bottom of the sea. Lorne was stunned by the familiar divine power.
"You?"
Lorne was a little surprised when he saw who it was.
"That's right! Lorne, long time no see! I've heard of your great feats from the deep sea. You single-handedly fought your way to the Titan Court. You really got riled up for your beauty!"
A sultry voice reached him with a hint of warmth and gentleness.
"Well, why are you looking for me?"
Lorne waved his hand and asked directly.
Aphrodite immediately put away her charming expression when she heard Lorne's words and revealed a rarely seen serious expression. "Lorne, something big has happened. I'm sure you know that the monster tide in the deep sea has swept across the land, right?"
"Yes! What's going on? Do you know the reason?"
Lorne asked seriously as well.
"That's right! I'm here to seek your help on behalf of my brother Pontus!"
Aphrodite looked at Lorne and explained, "My brother, as the God of the Sea, has always stayed in the deep sea because he has constantly been suppressing a portal, one that leads to the core of the Earth."
"The core of the earth?" Lorne was stunned. What did this mean? There was no such mention in the myths he knew? It seemed that his appearance had already caused changes in the Greek myths.
"That's right, it's the entrance to the core of the Earth! It is said that there is another core of the Earth in our world. That place has existed since the birth of the world. Many mutated monsters live there. Their bodies are terrifying, almost mindless beings, and they were born with desires for nothing but bloodlust and brutality. Therefore, the God of Creation used his supreme divine power to seal this entrance and placed it at the bottom of the deep sea under the watch of Pontus!
"Ever since my brother was in charge, no monster had ever broken through the seal. But this time, for some unknown reason, the seal suddenly gave way, and several Behemoths appeared! They worked together to force my brother to flee, and then they streamed out."
Aphrodite slowly told him what had happened, causing Lorne to frown.
Then why was it not recorded in the myths and legends of his previous life?
Little did he know that it was because he had changed the course of the myths.
"Are those Behemoths very powerful?"
Lorne was a little curious. After all, Pontus was almost as powerful as himself! Even he would not be sure of the outcome if they fought!
"No, those Behemoths are incredibly wise. Four of them joined hands to launch a sneak attack, defeating my brother and breaking the seal!"
"Is that so! Then let's go and take a look!"
Lorne was now interested as well. He was prepared to follow Aphrodite to take a look. The sooner they dealt with the tide, the less damage they would suffer.
Thus, he left the divine sword above the city of Athens, leaving it to protect the humans. In any case, he was still powerful without it.
...
Speaking of which, Athena flew at high speed from the city of Athens. It did not take long before she reached Mount Olympus, instantly gathering the attention of a few main gods.
At this moment, Hera looked at Athena and asked in puzzlement, "What happened, Athena? What is so urgent?"
"Something big has happened! Beasts are appearing in the deep sea, attacking the coastline. Currently, many of the city-states near the sea have been wiped out!"
Athena immediately explained the matter quickly, causing the gods to be greatly shocked. They had yet to receive any news.
"We should hurry! The mortals need saving!"
The gods were a little hesitant when they heard this. After all, the Titans were giving them more and more pressure. At such a juncture, they did not dare to be distracted, or they would be in great danger.
"Athena, we truly wish to help! But our current situation is very unfavorable. The Titans are suppressing us Olympians very badly!"
Hera was also a little hesitant at this time. "Of course, if you can persuade Lorne to join us, we will immediately take action!"
After hearing Hera's words, Athena was stunned. She never thought that Hera would actually make such a request. As gods, shouldn't they resist the crisis? At this moment, she felt that Hera had changed.
"Hera, you've changed! Are we gods not responsible for the lives of all mortals? As for Lorne, that is his decision to make, not mine. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Athena directly left the Mountain.
After she left, the atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Hera laughed bitterly and looked at the gods. "What do you guys say about this? Are you going or not?"
Right now, Zeus was in seclusion, Hades was alone, and there were still a few main gods who were not here. Hera held the highest rank.
"Go! Athena is right! Fulfill our responsibility as gods!"
"That's right! If we don't go, what's the difference between us and the Titan Court?"
"That's right! Many city-states still serve us, yet we are not moving to save them. This is not us!"
