Chapter 819 Enjoying Olympus?
Sky Garden.
Inside the magnificent palace.
With muscles bulging like small mountains, shirtless and bursting with power, Zeus, the Olympian king of the gods, was swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes glazed over as he gazed at the beautiful women dancing gracefully in the garden.
Ever since Olympus was destroyed by Bactria, Zeus fled all the way here, where he spent his days indulging in wine and women.
On the main seat, a slightly overweight man dressed in a black robe raised a cup to Zeus.
"Zeus, king of the gods, how does my Hanging Gardens compare to your Olympus?"
Zeus, looking quite drunk, said, "It's much more beautiful than Olympus, especially these beauties."
As he spoke, the lecherous Zeus grabbed a beautiful woman who was dancing, put her in his arms, and drank the wine that she offered to his lips with a look of enjoyment.
Zeus chuckled and said, "Heh heh, it's not the wine that intoxicates, it's the person who gets drunk..."
The man in black robes laughed and asked, "You are, after all, the King of Olympus. Don't you think about rebuilding Olympus?"
Zeus waved his hand and said, "No, no..."
"Olympus is dead! My twelve Olympian gods are either dead or wounded, and some have even defected to Great Xia! I am furious!!!"
"Now that I'm all alone, there's no need to rebuild Olympus. But when you Cthulhu gods attack Great Xia, just take me with you!"
A glint of venom flashed in Zeus's eyes. "I, Zeus, will make the Great Xia pay for their blood debt!!!"
Suddenly, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and pretty face, wearing a light veil, walked in and gave a slight bow to the man in black robes.
"My lord, Gilgamesh has invaded our front yard, and Rex and his men are trying to stop him."
The black-robed man, whose face was only partially visible beneath the cloak, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
"Gilgamesh? The ancient hero-king, he has finally arrived..."
"Give the order, Gilgamesh, I want him alive."
"Whoever accidentally kills him will be buried with him!"
A terrifying killing intent emanated from the man in black robes, and even someone as powerful as Zeus felt a chill run down his spine...
"Yes!"
The veiled beauty nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the front yard.
Seeing that the imposing presence he had inadvertently displayed had frightened the dancers and musicians into trembling silence, the man in black quickly changed to a cheerful tone.
"Hehe, don't mind that little incident, let's keep playing music and dancing."
The man in black robes raised his wine cup and looked at Zeus, saying, "Come, brother Zeus, let me offer you another toast."
Zeus raised his wine cup, his eyes filled with the graceful figure of the veiled beauty from before, and suddenly found the dancer in his arms utterly uninteresting.
Zeus ruthlessly shoved the dancer aside, then looked at the man in black robes and asked with a smile, "My good brother, who was that beautiful woman who just came in...?"
The man in black smiled slightly. "Her? She's my subordinate, Rose. She cultivates water-based magical abilities and is skilled in water dance."
"If Zeus's brothers like her, I will have her serve you and dance for your brothers every day."
Zeus's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this!
"Okay, great!"
"Brother, no... Godfather, you're practically my godfather!!!"
"Zeus has wandered for half his life, never finding a wise ruler. If you do not abandon him, Zeus is willing to take you as his adoptive father, and from then on, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!!!"
Zeus bowed solemnly to the man in black and spoke.
The man in black robes laughed and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. This Rose is practically my goddaughter."
"It is the woman's great fortune to have won the favor of Zeus, the king of the gods."
"If you like, we can hold a wedding for you in this sky garden, and I will be your witness."
"From this day forward, you belong to my Hanging Gardens. What do you say?"
“Father-in-law, Zeus couldn’t be happier to marry such a beautiful woman as Rose!” Zeus said hastily.
"But what if Hera is still alive?" the man in black asked with a smile.
Zeus frowned. "Who is Hera?"
"Hahaha, very good! With a hero like Zeus joining my Hanging Gardens, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely make the Sky Garden your new home. Let's leave the past behind."
"Join our Sky Gardens, and everyone will have a bright future!!!"
"Thank you so much, Father-in-law!!!"
……
Sky Garden.
Taking advantage of Gilgamesh's attraction to the guardian deities, four furtive figures approached the front yard.
These four are none other than the Four Corpse Ancestors, who are each king when separated, but become mentally unstable when united.
Jiang Chen glanced around, stretched, and said, "Hmm, the environment here is not bad, with flowers and grass, quite suitable for a semi-vegetarian like me."
Hou Qing pulled him back and hid in the bushes, saying, "We're here to steal... to retrieve the origin of the Sumerian pantheon. Don't act like we're here on vacation."
A hint of doubt flickered in Nüba's clear eyes as she looked at Houqing and asked, "Brother Houqing, shouldn't this kind of work be given to the Monkey King, who's the expert? Why did you send the four of us?"
Hou Qing explained, "Hehe, I admitted before that the monkey's methods were clever, but ever since I got this magic weapon..."
"The title of the number one thief in the Three Realms is about to change hands."
As he spoke, under the expectant gazes of the other three Corpse Ancestors, Hou Qing pulled a black hat from his pocket.
The supreme artifact of Olympus, Greece: the invisibility cap!
These were the spoils of war obtained by Hou Qing after he destroyed Hades, the god of the underworld in Olympus.
Wearing this thing, even top-tier scouts like the Celestial Hound and the Di Ting cannot detect his presence.
Hades hadn't been so greedy that he merged the fragments of Fengdu, which contained the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, into the Greek underworld, thus suffering the backlash of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Hades, the god of the underworld, was determined to escape while wearing an invisibility cloak, and Hou Qing really couldn't do anything about him.
Now that the invisibility hat has fallen into Hou Qing's hands, he has become a hot contender to rival the Monkey King in the art of thievery.
"Brothers and sisters, let's play it by ear. I'll go and scout things out first."
As he spoke, Hou Qing put on the invisibility hat, and a spatial ripple spread out, and Hou Qing, dressed in a black robe, disappeared from the spot.
If it weren't for the connection between them—the body and remnant soul of the Hou—it would have been difficult for them to detect Hou Qing's presence using only their own perception.
After Hou Qing left, only the remaining three Corpse Ancestors remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing that the three remained silent for a long time, Nüba asked a question timidly.
"What do we do next?"
Jiang Chen stroked his chin with some difficulty and looked at Nüba, saying, "The only one with a brain left."
"I'm in a vegetative state, you're socially awkward, and he's a brute. This is tough..."
