Regret, In Short, Deep Regret 2/4

Meanwhile, in the Interstellar City Mountain Range, beneath the altar street.

Surprisingly, he survived...

Hearing the trembling sound above him gradually receding into the distance, Jason, feeling like he had survived a calamity, slumped down beside the bronze-cast wall, panting heavily.

After a moment of relaxation, the man picked up the nameplate engraved with Greek characters on the table, ran it over the indentation of his fingertips, shook his head and murmured with a complicated expression.

[Godbreaker Alliance], breaking the alliance of gods. It seems that this name was given by Theseus when they came here last time. I just didn't expect that they would come back here again after going around in circles.

Just as Jason was lost in thought, a figure wearing a tattered black cloak entered the room and casually tossed two glass bottles into the captain's arms.

"It's safe here for now. Here, have some energy potion and restorative Magic Potion."

The voice was hoarse and deep, like a vast and boundless ocean, giving people a sense of inexplicable peace.

"Sisyphus, Circe, Medea, how are those people I brought with me?"

Jason uncorked the bottle, drank the liquid in it in one gulp, and then turned to the side, frowning as he asked a question.

"They've already taken their medication. They're all next door, but their injuries are serious, and they need to rest properly."

The Black Shadow spoke softly, then fell silent again.

"Where are the boss and the others?"

"They're about the same. Atalanta has lost too much blood and suffered nerve damage in her limbs, which is currently repairing itself. The brother and sister have damaged Spirit Core and depleted ether, and are still in a coma... In short, they should not fight with anyone else for the time being."

"So, I was actually the least injured? The one who shouldn't have survived actually did. What a stroke of luck."

Jason smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead, helplessly mocking himself.

On the Giant God Ocean: Heracles, Orion, the Peleus brothers, Caenis...

Meleager and Asclepius, God of Medicine, stand Sea God Temple...

Machine God Corridor Orpheus, Hylas...

Those friends who sacrificed themselves were all stronger than him, but he, the weakest of them all, became the safest one.

If it weren't for their desperate protection, I probably would have died on the way.

Fortunately, Atalanta, the leader of the gang responsible for guarding the Altar Street, and the Sparta siblings Castor, encountered this mysterious person's help at a critical moment and ultimately survived.

Including Sisyphus, Circe, Medea, and others who survived the explosion in the Machine God Corridor, there are currently ten survivors in the Argonaut Expedition.

"Thank you for saving me, and my crew, Your Highness..."

As the feeling of exhaustion and stinging in his body gradually subsided, Jason stretched his limbs, placed the nameplate on the table, and solemnly thanked the mysterious figure hiding in the Black Shadow beside him.

Beside him, a figure pulled back his hood, revealing long, flowing golden hair. The handsome man with a defined jawline and blue eyes was Triton, the missing Son of the Sea God.

"I didn't expect this place to still be usable, otherwise, we'd probably all be finished..."

After listening intently to the sounds coming from the battle array and confirming that everything was normal, Jason patted the bronze wall of the Godbreaker Alliance Base, which was covered with intricate incantations, with a sigh of relief.

"That's because the situation changed too quickly after you left. I didn't have time to patch up the loopholes in this area before the war started. So, even the Chaos hangar, the core mainframe, doesn't have any data about this place. The [Godbreaker Alliance Base] can be said to be a hidden Interstellar City Mountain Range ghost zone, which is why it was able to avoid those things from searching."

Triton glanced at Jason, offered a brief explanation, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he left a secret door to let his sister, Rhode, escape. Little did he know that it would become his and his group's lifeline.

Fate can be truly wondrous at times.

"Your Highness, when did you hide here? It couldn't have been since the Star-Seeded Soldier was revived, could it?"

Jason closed his eyes and recalled the resolute figures who stepped forward to block the pursuers. A feeling of resentment welled up in his heart, and his tone grew cold as he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"Hmph, if it were really that time, the True Body Machine God you encountered wouldn't just be Artemis, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Zeus— the four of them—but all twelve of them!"

Triton and snorted coldly, his azure eyes sharp as swords.

"What! You've already destroyed the other eight True Body Machine God?!"

Jason suddenly stood up, his face filled with astonishment.

"Not 'you,' but 'all of you'!"

The mermaid prince corrected him earnestly, a hint of sadness appearing in his azure eyes.

"The awakening of the Star-Seeded Soldier was not entirely unnoticed by the Ocean Gods, but everything happened too fast. The spatial path also blocked Atlantis's connection with the outside world. They fought with all their might to resist the erosion, but they only managed to buy themselves ten minutes."

During this period, all I could do was destroy the terminal Chaos database, cut off the training between the aberrations in different regions, and try every possible means to destroy the eight True Body Machine God parked in the Star Sea.

Humanity, don't think you're the only ones resisting. Even if we are destroyed, we will struggle with all our might to fight for a chance of victory for those who come after us!

Upon hearing this, Jason lowered his head sheepishly, suppressing his frivolity and resentment, and silently paid homage to the Ocean Gods and Atlantis who had died quietly without a magnificent burning.

It was because of their sacrifice that the Argo was able to board the Machine God Corridor and approach the Great Altar.

Otherwise, even if Twelve Machine Gods were to fight together, they probably wouldn't be able to reach the Interstellar City Mountain Range.

"However, the reason why four Machine God were left undealt with is because of you..."

"It's not entirely Atlantis's fault, what does it have to do with us?"

"Remember how you caused such a ruckus in the Mech Machine God Corridor last time, destroying three True Body Machine God: the God of Agriculture, the Goddess of the Moon, and the Goddess of Love?"

"Uh, it seems correct. What's wrong?"

"After the main body Zeus was shut down, they were sent to the Echidna Armory for repairs. Therefore, I was unable to use the terminal Chaos license to deal with the remaining four."

Afterwards, the Star-Seeded Soldier invaded the entirety of Atlantis, and incidentally salvaged these four True Body Machine God. They activated and modified them, using them to guard four crucial areas: the Giant God Ocean, the Atlantis Sea God Temple, the Machine God Corridor in the Interstellar City Mountain Range, and the Great Altar.

"..."

Triton, having no idea why, glared at the ruthless bandits with annoyance.

Jason's lips twitched violently, speechless. He truly hadn't expected that the various dangers encountered by the Argonaut Expedition were actually related to their previous adventure.

As for how I feel, I regret it. In short, I regret it a lot, and I feel very wronged.

After all, as the captain, he never intended to come to this godforsaken place, Atlantis.

So, who should take the blame?

Just as Jason was conjuring up the image of a certain instigator in his mind, a violent tremor interrupted his reverie.

This tremor is unusual!

Sensing something amiss, Triton abruptly stood up, hesitated for a moment, then raised his left hand to activate a risky tabletop detection Magecraft, projecting the situation above into the room.

Instantly, cracks appeared on the ground, and the sky, like a shattered mirror, spread with cracks. The whole world seemed to be glued together like porcelain, on the verge of collapse.

"How do I get back to them?!"

"The world is crumbling! It seems the Star-Seeded Soldier's invasion of Greece is nearing completion. We don't have much time left!"

As Triton withdrew his somber gaze and responded solemnly, Jason's expression darkened, and he immediately asked a question.

"The Sky Garden and the Machine God Corridor are both half collapsed, and the stones have all crashed onto the core temple, turning it into a dead zone. Do you have any other way to get to the Great Altar?"

"Yes! During this time, I've been trying to regain control of the core terminal, secretly collecting parts and assembling a flying machine that can be identified!"

Triton Zheng and decisively revealed his trump card.

Even if Atlantis is defeated and the Ocean Gods become history, he will not become a rat in a pit, but will only hide in a dark corner and eke out a living.

"No, I've modified the terminal Chaos license code!"

Jason took a deep breath and took out the second colored scale left by Poseidon.

At this moment, the blond youth slowly got up, lazily stretched his waist, glanced at the remaining Argo Heroes in the corner, and then raised his hand to invite Triton.

"Dare to bet all our chips and gamble big with me, my friend?"

Do I have a choice?

The mermaid prince shook his head helplessly and raised his hand to shake hands with Jason.

Suddenly, a cool sensation spread through Jason's palm. The captain instinctively looked down and was taken aback.

"Your hand..."

"To live here, you always have to pay a price."

Triton casually rolled up his sleeve and tapped the replacement severed limb, the black alloy arm embedded in the shoulder blade flesh.

Immediately, the mermaid prince's gaze deepened, and he raised his hand to press a mechanism. With a slight metallic scraping sound, eight objects resembling crystals or gemstones popped out from a hidden slot on his metal arm. He looked at Jason and pondered softly.

"Moreover, this might be even more useful than the original limbs!"
