Fated Abyssal Breakthrough! 2/2
"That makes sense!"
With the biggest problem solved, Zeus couldn't help but show his delight. He then moved on to the more crucial discussion of countermeasures, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Next, all we need to do is destroy that starship, or even sink the entire Atlantis! As long as we prevent the Star-Seeded Soldier from regenerating, we'll have a chance to win!"
Sink... Atlantis?
Damn! Could it be that the legendary continent of Mu was punished by Zeus and sunk to the bottom of the sea because of this?
Samael's lips twitched, his mind slightly a mess.
Fate, it seems, has come full circle back to where it started.
Just as the ancient serpent was sighing, that scrutinizing gaze fell upon him.
"I remember, Your Majesty, you seem to possess spatial and temporal powers..."
Zeus, seated on his throne, gazed intently, his eyes burning with desire.
Samael immediately understood, but shook his head mercilessly, extinguishing his thoughts.
"Don't even think about it. If it were that easy, I would have made my move long ago! There's a spatial path blocking the way between Atlantis and the Stormy Sea Region, so I can't locate its existence at all!"
"I knew it! That thing bewitched me into seizing divine power, constructing spatial pathways and the Giant God Ocean; it never had any peace of mind!"
Poseidon angrily cursed the treachery of the Star-Seeded Soldier. Seeing this, the ancient serpent and Zeus knew that they couldn't do anything about dismantling the Space Path defense system, so they didn't bother to pay any attention to the Sea King.
"What if we immediately gather all of Greece's strength, fight with all our might, rush into the eye of the tidal wave, break through the spatial path, and then destroy that starship?"
Zeus frowned, pondered for a moment, and then made a suggestion.
"We are now struggling to even match the strength of the Titan army of the Star-Seeded Soldier. Our destruction can't even keep up with their recovery speed. It's probably impossible for us to break through the layers of blockade while alerting them!"
Samael shook his head sharply, stating his rational yet cruel judgment directly.
Of the three fourth phases, with his current strength and that of Zeus, he can only hold off two. Not to mention the third, there is still the countless army of giants.
Based on the pattern of the Star-Seeded Soldier's strategic upgrades, the stronger the opponent, the higher the level of attention they pay. Now they have lost much of their advantage, and once they get entangled, they won't be able to get away.
"How about we retreat to Olympus, release the Star-Seeded Soldier ashore, and then find a way to infiltrate the Stormy Sea Region and destroy that core!"
Hera's eyes flickered, and she offered a seemingly brilliant solution.
Samael turned his head to look at the increasingly vibrant and colorful sea and sky, and at the Tear-shaped Celestial Body hidden among the stars, which seemed even brighter and more conspicuous than before, and spoke coldly.
"In order to break through the Age of Gods, the tearful planet Willpa has already sent out three Star-Seeded Soldiers in succession, intending to turn this place into a bridgehead for plotting against the entire civilization of Earth. It doesn't have much patience! If this drags on any longer, Willpa might even come down in person! We probably don't have much time left!"
"It's not just fear, it's already true!"
Athena crossed her arms and snorted coldly, her brows furrowed.
"Don't you think the Star-Seeded Soldier's advancement speed is too fast? If the drastic changes in these vanguards are related to that Tear Star, it can only prove that this star is getting closer and closer to the location of the Age of Gods!"
The three Star-Seeded Soldiers were the wedge driven into Greece, and the starship that kept sending signals was the anchor that maintained the connection between the two. What they did was not only to clear away the obstacles in Greece, but also to establish Starry Sky Route for the great ship that was Tearful Star!
If this drags on any longer, we might not be facing fourth-tier or even tier-four Star-Seeded Soldier, but rather the main body of Willpa!
The Goddess of Wisdom raised her finger to the sky, her expression somber, and without hesitation laid out the most fatal conclusion, completely extinguishing any remaining hope among the gods.
"No matter what, we must break through this desolate sea filled with giants and head straight for that Interstellar City Mountain Range before the Star-Seeded Soldier collectively evolves to the first stage, and before we still have enough leverage, to destroy that special starship! This one day may be our last chance!"
The gods exchanged bewildered glances, pursed their lips, and fell silent. The oppressive atmosphere suggested the situation was far worse than they had imagined.
Now, we've almost reached a dead end.
"Wait, Athena, you just said... breakthrough..."
Suddenly, Samael's pupils contracted sharply, and he raised his hand to press down on the Goddess of Wisdom's shoulder, his gaze burning with fervor.
"Break through... break through this desolate sea, and head straight for that Interstellar City Mountain Range?"
"Yes! That's it! Abyssal Breakthrough!"
Samael couldn't help but slam his right fist down in mid-air, his eyes gleaming.
"Have you thought of a way to break this deadlock?"
Zeus, who was in a state of utter distress, suddenly stood up and stared intently at his old adversary who seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration.
"That's right! We've fallen into a trap. Reaching the Interstellar City Mountain Range, destroying the starship, and cutting that line doesn't necessarily require a direct assault! We can simply infiltrate stealthily and achieve our objective!"
"The three Star-Seeded Soldiers are stationed in the Stormy Sea Region, never leaving its side. How could they possibly infiltrate?"
"A feint! Let the gods lure out and distract Seferu!"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon frowned and shook his head, refuting it mercilessly.
"Without the power of the gods, that's even more impossible!"
From the Peloponnese Peninsula to the Oceanus Sea, from the Stormy Sea Region to the Eye of the Tide, from the Path of Space to the Giant God Ocean, the entire route was crammed with Titans, a truly impasse. And once they reached Atlantis, with its outer defensive perimeter, who could possibly break through!
"Yes! And if all goes well, there will be no obstacles!"
Samael answered decisively, then looked at Poseidon and gave him a piercing look.
"Your Sea King, those steel warships are not the only ones that can enter Atlantis."
Poseidon's pupils contracted sharply as he suddenly realized the name that had been forgotten in the corner, and blurted it out.
"You mean... the Argo!"
"That's right! This is the only special existence granted a pass code to the Atlantis defense perimeter! Moreover, its wooden hull and the blessings of the gods ensure that it will never be dominated or corrupted by Seferu!"
Samael then recounted the Argonaut Expedition, the twists and turns of which led to its unexpected conclusion.
"In other words, we need to gather all our strength and focus all our efforts on the Oceanus Sea to contain the Titans' army and create an opportunity for the Argo to break through that desolate sea and enter the eye of the Tidal Sea?"
Zeus pondered for a moment, then solemnly reiterated the key points of the strategy.
"Well, the starship that destroys the Great Altar doesn't necessarily have to be a powerful and strong opponent. According to the characteristics of the Star-Seeded Soldier, the weaker the power that the Argo possesses, the less likely it is to attract attention, and the easier it will be to infiltrate!"
Samael nodded in agreement and further elaborated on the advantages of this strategy.
"Ya, go ahead and do it. The Star-Seeded Soldier could be deployed at any time. I will lead the Olympian Gods to relieve those forbidden Old Gods of their duties."
Zeus nodded slightly, looked at the increasingly turbulent etheric currents on the sea, rose and summoned the Olympian Gods to the defensive line.
"By the way, I have two things that you'll definitely need!"
As soon as Poseidon took a step, he seemed to remember something, opened the Sorcery Array, and solemnly handed the two items to Samael.
"This is..."
"One is my interpretation and research on starships over millions of years, and the other is a record of the comprehensive structure of space paths, Atlantis, and Interstellar City Mountain Range!"
"Okay, I'll accept it on your behalf..."
However, the moment Samael raised his hand to pick up the two items, Poseidon gripped his wrist tightly.
"In exchange for these, if possible, please let them take my son..."
Poseidon's lips were pressed tightly together, and the sorrow that had been suppressed in his eyes for so long burst forth.
"Even a corpse is enough..."
Samael remained silent for a moment, nodded solemnly, and then turned and left, leaving Poseidon standing there, his back hunched and his figure desolate.
If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
The ancient serpent, swiftly moving along the road, glanced at the residence of the Olympian Gods, shook its head slightly, and clenched the two items in its hands. With complex emotions, it looked at the red and black Aether Storm brewing on the sea and murmured a sigh in its heart.
The Seal the Final Four Seas Oceanus ... the Age of Gods Giant Sea, Atlantis ... the Interstellar City Mountain Range Olympus ...
Argo ... Abyssal Breakthrough ...
If the memory is correct, in the vague recollections of the Titans' War, the impetus for their ultimate victory seems to have been the crucial role played by the frail humans.
Therefore, many heroes, including Heracles, were honored as "Olympian".
After going around in circles, Greece's future seems to have circled back to the origin of its fate.
