You Haven't Even Eaten Your Kids-How Dare You Come Out Here and Make a Name for Yourself? 3/3
Although she wanted to change her mind, the die was cast. With Tartarus watching her with predatory eyes, the birth of a physical abyssal monster was no longer something Gaia could easily stop.
Having no other option, the Mother Goddess returned to the surface, intending to warn the other gods.
However, in the war between the New and Old God Wars, Zeus, whom Gaia had secretly raised and placed high hopes on, did not show the so-called magnanimity and tolerance. Instead, he decisively gave his father and uncles to Tartarus as gifts, further accelerating Typhon's growth.
The subsequent rise of Olympus, and their eagerness to seize divine power over the sky, the sea, and the abyss, completely disillusioned Gaia, who simply chose to remain aloof and observe.
Although she still holds the power over the origin of the Ley Lines, the New Gods has already risen.
Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture, and Pan, the god of the forest, and other dutiful descendants who directly or indirectly usurped the Earth Authority, have begun to test her bottom line time and time again by using subtle means to cut her flesh.
If it weren't for raising Zeus, supporting him in the New and Old God Wars, and having the Cyclops and the Hecatoncheires as constraints, this Olympian King of Gods probably wouldn't have bothered to even pretend.
Guo Xin is just like his father.
Ah, with those "good kids" from Olympus, Greece's future is probably none of her concern.
Since you all want divine authority, whether it's Zeus or Typhon, you might as well go and seize it yourselves.
Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, who seemed to be trying to drive away both sides, simply chose not to help either, allowing Typhon to quietly grow stronger.
As a result, the unchecked calamity became even more unbridled, secretly recruiting soldiers and accumulating strength to launch its attack on Olympus.
Although Typhon was born of destruction and distortion, thanks to the earth's creative power, he possessed cunning wisdom.
He knew very well that the first Fangbi he conquered was the Olympian Gods who had gathered a great deal of divine power.
Once the divine authority over the sky and the sea is swallowed up, the almost subdued Mother Earth is utterly powerless to resist.
He didn't want to risk upsetting Gaia and forcing her to flee to Olympus by disturbing the seeds sown in the Arima's Cave, unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, in the future, Typhon's Offspring from Arima's Cave rarely appeared in the teams attacking Olympus.
They were merely feared and purged by the gods because of their powerful bloodline and terrifying potential.
However, when Typhon inadvertently noticed two delicious and pure aromas appearing one after the other in this marshland.
He could no longer restrain himself and used the poisonous dragon he had cultivated with his own blood to lure the prey he was waiting for.
That was the pure divine power he longed for. If he could further perfect his divine status through the two people present, even Zeus in his prime would not be his match!
The easiest way to seize divine power is undoubtedly to devour them.
As for devouring one's offspring, this was a fundamental family virtue for the Greek Gods.
The second-generation god Cronus did it, the third-generation King of Gods Zeus did it, and if the first-generation King of Gods Uranus knew his fate, he might have tried it too.
In Greece, it seems that you're almost embarrassed to go out in public if you haven't had several rounds of loving fathers and filial sons.
Therefore, this newly crowned King of Divine Monsters did such things without the slightest psychological burden.
At this moment, Typhon looked sinisterly at his prey, who were trapped within the barrier by the breath of the storm. His black forked tongue licked his slightly excited and dry lips and teeth, making no attempt to hide his bloodthirsty and brutal intentions.
"Give them both to me, then get out of my way!"
"Roar! Roar!"
The Hydra and the Colchian Dragon, with their heads raised and roaring fiercely, gazed at each other.
At that moment, the Typhon's Offspring from behind rushed forward to join him, their angry roars rising and falling in various tones, suppressed yet resolute.
Even the most timid Harpy, despite his wings trembling uncontrollably, still stood behind Medusa and Athena.
Boom!
The black smoke that enveloped an area of dozens of miles around boiled and roared, and the ferocious and cruel aura pressed down heavily. Typhon had already lost his patience in dealing with these little ones.
The jet-black dragon head, rising from the smoke, gradually occupied all directions, encircling the center.
"A bunch of idiots..."
Medusa closed her eyes slightly, recalling Euryale and Stheno on the Shapeless Isle, who had not complained even after being devoured by her. She murmured a sigh, then her eyes snapped open, revealing a chilling aura.
Previously, Medusa, who inherited the divine status of the earth and the abyss, was the first to sense the malice of this King of Divine Monsters through the sound of the bell.
Unable to cope with Typhon's power, all she could do was use herself as bait to buy time for her brothers and sisters to escape.
Unexpectedly, these brothers and sisters, who were clearly afraid of the monster because of the suppression of their bloodline, realized something was wrong and all abandoned their retreat and turned back to provide support.
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight with our backs against the wall!
As hundreds of ferocious dragon heads surrounded and crushed her, Medusa, with a fierce aura, raised the Scythe of Time in her hand and slashed down the first few black-scaled dragon heads that fell.
At that moment, Athena, her face solemn, drew her last javelin and struck it against the bronze shield on her left arm, summoning the Typhon's Offspring to gather there and build a defense.
In an instant, the well-coordinated team of gods and monsters began to perform their respective duties: some used their physical bodies to tear and fight the dragon's head, some used Magic Beam to bombard the sky, and some used Mental Shock and bewitching Mystic Eyes to disturb the mind of the King of Divine Monsters.
"Roar!"
In an instant, a hundred heads roared in unison, like the bellowing of bulls, the howling of lions, the barking of dogs, the thunder, and the roar of boiling fire, all blending together and resounding in all directions.
The breath of the storm, imbued with boundless power, carried chaotic ether, causing shockwaves, tearing space apart, and shattering the earth.
The Caucasus Eagle and the Harpy, which were hovering in the air, were blown away by the sweeping wind before they could even get close, their wings breaking off as they screamed in pain.
Chimera, Nemean Lion, Cerberus, and other mythical creatures skilled in close combat leaped onto the backs of the Hundred-Headed Dragon, tearing and scratching at it with all their might.
However, the dragon's body, which possessed characteristics of both earth and abyss, had astonishing defense. When they bit at it, they couldn't break through its defenses at all; most of their attacks only sent up a trail of sparks.
Furthermore, these monsters are immortal; the few marks they desperately left behind vanished in the blink of an eye.
Even more terrifying is that Typhon's body can switch between illusion and reality.
The Magecraft and control of Ladon, Sphinx, and Gorgon were directly etherealized and disintegrated.
As the storm swept across, all the monsters and spirits of the Arima's Cave were sent flying backward, their bones and tendons ruptured amidst cries of agony.
Only Athena, carrying a bronze shield and wielding a spear that glowed with blue-purple lightning, and Medusa, wielding the Scythe of Time and slashing with destructive force, were left on the scene, barely able to hold on.
"Still want to resist? I've decided to devour you brothers and sisters first, then have my main meal. Just obediently merge with me!"
Typhon's hundred heads grinned savagely, and the breath of the storm stirred up flames that spread in all directions, melting the earth. The biting heads strangled the half-crippled crowd.
The two, already in dire straits under the onslaught of numerous heads, watched as the monsters of the Arima's Cave were about to be devoured and crushed.
Athena Medusa simultaneously leaped and spun around, blocking the path of their childhood friends.
This was exactly what Tsutsumi wanted, and it played right into Typhon's hands.
Under the corrosive influence of the storm's breath and poisonous fire, Athena Medusa, whose divine light had dimmed and shattered, were also preoccupied with protecting their brothers and sisters behind them. They were soon powerless to defend themselves and were in grave danger.
Typhon shattered the last wisp of divine light from the two small snacks, then opened his ferocious maw and lunged to bite them.
"Whoosh!"
At the critical moment, a golden arrow of light, like a comet, tore through the thick black fog and pierced the sky.
The moment it descended above the Hundred-Headed Dragon, the Comet Arrow instantly shattered into hundreds of meteors that rained down, slightly knocking back the careless Typhon.
