Chapter 167
When Leμian and Fiammetta climbed to the ground, the first thing they saw was Wuyou with a complicated expression, and then they understood why he looked so complicated.
—There are so many corpses on the ground.
The current obstacle is a "locked secret door".
There must be a door here, but someone has used their power to ensure it cannot be found or opened.
[There are subtle marks on the stone, which must have been left by heavy pressure. Your believer has discovered the secret door.]
Doors serve two purposes: to open or to keep closed. Today, they faithfully fulfill their second purpose.
Explosives cannot be used here.
The first explosion was averted only thanks to the protection of the Pearl Empress.
But when Mostima took out the explosives a second time, her intuition began to warn her.
The apprentice who designed this ancient secret door was ingenious; he must have considered what measures to take if someone tried to force the door open.
Mostima placed her palm on the surface of the hidden door and began to pray to the object of her faith.
Hebe stared at the door through Mostima's eyes.
She could sense that the hidden door was filled with mercury specially prepared through alchemy.
No, it's not just mercury, but also the spiritual dew that acts as a catalyst.
If someone uses violence to break down the door, the mercury inside will instantly turn into highly toxic Mercury Vapor.
If tomb raiders have the means to escape Mercury Vapor, then the Pure Spirit Dew that can dissolve the human body will bring them an unexpected surprise.
Hebe gently pinched the card representing Mostima, silently thinking: Now we're cooperating with you, you'll have to exert some divine power October Governor.
Inside the tent, Hebe's voice rang out softly.
"Sesame, sesame, open the door."
Open Sesame.
Grand Mumei, layered voice resounded from the depths of Mostima's mind, from the very core of her flesh and bones, resonating with every part of her body.
This trembling, tingling sensation compelled her to open her mouth as well, letting out a roar like a lion.
"Open Sesame!"
The hidden door let out a heavy hiss.
It was as if an invisible axe had fallen from the door, splitting it in two, but the alchemical mercury and spiritual dew sealed inside remained completely unaffected.
All doors must be opened, just as all life must end; now is the time.
As the hidden door collapsed, the sound of rushing water began to come from below.
The Tomb of Agamemnon has a circular dome, but Mostima has now opened up its side, so groundwater is about to gush out.
However, Mostima simply reached out calmly.
In her palm was a purple talisman, and above it, written in ancient Egypt Sacred Script and the format of Higashi incantations, was a spell to invoke power from Leviathan.
The talisman is now burning, and wisps of blue smoke rise from between Mostima's fingers.
She knelt on the ground and slammed her fist, which was shrouded in blue smoke, into the water that was about to gush out of the ground.
Blanckug's messenger's voice was low and menacing. "In Ismara's name, I order you to withdraw!"
When the smoke comes into contact with the water, it is the latter that is destroyed.
The water that was about to surge out of the ground and submerge Mostima receded rapidly downwards, and after a few breaths, the depths of Agamemnon's tomb became dry again.
Naturally, the archaeological team members who had entered the area earlier also dissolved into the water and disappeared completely as the water receded.
Mostima leaped into Agamemnon's tomb and landed smoothly.
She looked around and then walked straight to the Spring Eye in the center of the tomb.
"So that's how it is." Mostima said with a complicated expression. "So that's what the so-called Youthful Dew that can prolong life is."
"So that's how it is." Inside the tent, Hebe calmly muttered to himself, "The elements of the Mycenae civilization are complete."
"Next, I will complete the Closed Loop."
A semi-illusory pansy bloomed beneath Hebe, then withered away, completely enveloping her in the illusion, while Hebe's voice echoed nearby.
"The Mycenae civilization was an ancient civilization located in the northern Mediterranean Sea. It migrated from the Minoan Civilization and is considered part of the First History."
"Its history began in 1750 BC, when Egyptian lands was in the early stages of the Dynasty XIV; it ended in 1050 BC, when Cathay was ready to Western Zhou and would defeat the Great Shang City at Muye."
This was Hebe's first attempt to construct history in the present world, but unexpectedly, it did not encounter much resistance.
She first determined the historical timeframe of the Mycenae civilization, which included both the Hidden World calendar and the Gregorian calendar.
Then, she used Egypt and Cathay, two countries that can be clearly traced back to the First History, as her basis.
In fact, Hammurabi, the founder of the Code of Hammurabi, also lived at this time.
However, the Code of Hammurabi has not been discovered in this world, so it is insufficient as a basis for Hebe's dating.
"For the Mediterranean Sea civilizations, Mycenae at this time was located at the northern end. They possessed advanced military capabilities and efficient metal smelting technology. The hero named Agamemnon was born here..." Hebe recounted the account from a section of the Iliad in Homeric Epics.
However, when talking about how Troy was destroyed by Agamemnon's Trojan Horse Strategy, Hebe changed the subject.
"Among the nobles of Troy were twin princes, the elder named Romulus and the younger named Remus."
A faint rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, but Hebe remained unmoved and continued her narration.
"The two brothers were raised by a mother wolf and worked together to hunt for a living. When they came of age, they built a city on the seven hills."
"The two brothers argued over the naming rights to the city, and unable to reach an agreement, they settled it with a wrestling match. During the wrestling, Remus accidentally broke his brother's neck, killing him instantly..."
Thunder roared in the sky, and ferocious lightning flashed through the clouds, enveloping the entire Crete as if it might strike at any moment.
The members of the Albion Archaeological Society stared blankly at the sky, unconsciously beginning to make the sign of the cross and pray to the Orthodox Church Three Sages.
Just then, Hebe suddenly spoke up.
"... Remus deeply regretted his decision. He resolved not to name the city and instead built a temple to the gods, making his unjustly deceased brother the city's guardian deity and the first pillar god in the temple, named 'Quirinus'!"
The lightning in the sky vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
The members of the Albion Archaeological Society looked at each other in disbelief. If it weren't for the lingering pain in their ears, they would have almost thought that the previous thunder and lightning was just a hallucination caused by digging for too long!
Hebe didn't care about the outside world; she just continued her Closed Loop work.
"Remus is the remnant of Troy, and this nameless city on the sea is 'Atlantis'!"
"He possessed technology far more advanced than that of Mycenae, and several years later assembled a fleet, using Greek Fire to burn Mycenae warships and destroy Mycenae's navy."
"The Atlantis army stormed into Mycenae, emptied Agamemnon's tomb, and utterly destroyed the city."
"With the destruction of its capital, Mycenae also declined. The Bronze Age in the epic came to an end, and the Dark Ages under the rule of Atlantis began."
243 The Asia of Alexander is the Asia of Atlantis.
History is a chain for Hebe.
Crete, Mycenae, Greece, Rome.
However, Crete and Mycenae were not actually entirely a transitional period.
You could even say that Crete is a general term—with Minos and Mycenae as its two central points. Minos comes first, Mycenae second.
The so-called Minoan Palace is the Hebe Labyrinth of the Minotaur in Greek mythology, which is likely the prototype of the blessing she received, the Labyrinth.
If we follow this classification method, then on History Line, Crete would have direct contact with Greece.
Hebe did not believe that the gatekeeper could have an advantage in such a war, otherwise He would not have been deprived of the title of God-King by Eris.
For a long time, He had done everything in His power to maintain the stability of Rome and could not extend His influence outward.
Eris, like herself, can travel through history, so Hebe cannot allow the gatekeeper to have seamless contact with Eris at both ends simultaneously.
The Minoan Civilization is the origin of the Gatekeepers, so she must separate Mycenae.
In fact, there are very few records about Mycenae, but Hebe completed the Closed Loop by using the Tomb of Agamemnon.
"Mycenae was the age of the gods, the mythological age celebrated by later generations. Now we have discovered the tomb of Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, whose lineage traces back to Zeus and directly to Zeus, who was the 'Fisher King'..."
Hebe began to expand the Closed Loop of history with the crucial definition of "Zeus".
One counterintuitive point is that Greek mythology is not about historical Greece. The former describes the Mycenae era.
The Hebe separated mythology from history!
Myth belongs to Mycenae, history belongs to Pan-Hellenicia!
The night was deep and pitch black, and a white thunderclap fell silently.
Absolute punishment!
Hebe sat upright within the illusion, one hand raised and stretched out towards the east.
The Qi channels combine, and the central channel and subtle points connect.
Impenetrable Defense!
A bolt of lightning pierced through her head, and Hebe let out a low groan, suppressing her pain.
As this devastating punishment descended, her entire posture collapsed. She fell to the ground but bounced back up, her eyes revealing instinctive terror.
Hebe's head tilted back, his vision blurred, and his blood pressure and heartbeat became erratic.
Three to five seconds passed before she collapsed to the ground, convulsing, saliva and tears streaming uncontrollably. For the next few minutes, Hebe could only stare blankly with unfocused eyes.
Surrounded by illusions, Hebe's fragile breathing could be heard. It was somewhat like a sob, or rather, a whimper, like that of a wounded little animal, frightened, weak, and in pain.
This penalty was enough to shatter all the dignity and confidence of the twilight.
But Hebe simply got up silently and sat back down on the ground.
"The Impenetrable Defense actually works against Extermination..."
Hebe had long been mentally prepared for the punishment of being exterminated for her role in the current world's history.
The history of Mycenae has been largely completed based on the Closed Loop of Homeric Epics, and the so-called Olympus pantheon is also the Twelve Archons with the Fisher King as the central figure.
According to Hebe's previous incarnation, there was a dark age that lasted for hundreds of years between Mycenae and Greece.
This dark age is not described in history.
Therefore, Hebe also needs to incorporate the history of Atlantis into the story.
The Atlantis she experienced was already a declining Lostbelt, and the starting point of the Lostbelt that were incorporated into history was actually counted from the time Remus ascended the throne.
After returning, Hebe compared historical records and finally confirmed that there was no country named "Issu" in history.
In other words, the Atlantis Lostbelt was rewritten, disassembled, and redefined... and incorporated into various histories in a discontinuous manner.
However, events before the Golden Age of Atlantis were not included in historical records.
The reason is simple: going further back would take us to the generation in which Sybil was active, and the step of nailing Sybil to death would have to be taken by Hebe herself.
—She completely erased the existence of Sybil and filled the history of Remus's rise to power into the Dark Ages, naming it "Atlantis"!
In other words, the lost Atlantis.
This time, Hebe was not excommunicated.
"In other words, I can complete the historical Closed Loop in the present world, but only if I can bear the punishment." Hebe's eyes flickered. "I was able to divide and Closed Loop of Atlantis without being damaged... because I successfully conquered the Lostbelt."
She took deep breaths.
Hebe vibrates his vocal cords and opens his mouth to produce sound.
"After Atlantis, history entered the Greek Age."
She uttered that word.
