Chapter 1384 No More Glory
A world of great controversy, this is a sign that all the smart people in this world can see.
Since the civil unrest in the United States, the world has been in turmoil. The originally stable international situation is constantly changing. Some people get stronger, and others naturally get weaker. The strong get more, while the weak can only be eliminated continuously in the increasingly fierce competition. There is an element of strength and an element of luck. England, Japan, and Egypt are examples of bad luck.
With such a lesson from the past, Wakanda naturally does not want to step into such a follower. Not just Wakanda, any country at the end is unwilling to be eliminated in such a competition. They are all doing their own efforts, and they are all trying their best to maintain their status and improve their strength. This is the right approach, but it is also a futile effort.
Because this world is no longer a world where results can be obtained simply by hard work. In this world, they are just duckweeds drifting with the current, and only those big countries and those forces that can stir up the wind and rain can really control the direction of the flow.
Victor may not have such strength before, but now that he has become the Lord of Hell, he obviously already has such a status. He has been promoted to a special class. And this also allowed him to clearly feel that the turmoil from current events was hitting him.
Israel, Syria, Turkey and Greece. This is his current sphere of influence, and in this sphere of influence, he can clearly feel that someone is investigating the movements of the hell forces under his control.
This is a force of group activities, because they do not operate within the scope of one country, but have actions within the scope of all countries. Also, they are professional. Because they can always get some special gains. In some remote areas, some evil spirits and demons planted there have completely lost contact with him. And how they disappeared, Victor knew without thinking about it, and probably had an inseparable relationship with this group of forces.
Faced with such a situation, it was not difficult for Victor to guess that it was the actions of the human government to target the forces of hell. It's just that he didn't expect that the human side would respond so quickly. His plan hasn't fully unfolded yet, so he doesn't want these little bugs to spoil his good work at all. And seeing these guys who suddenly inserted into his plan bit by bit, it seemed like they were peeling off cocoons. He immediately made up his mind that this group of guys must not be allowed to continue.
But what to do? Subconsciously wanting to let those cunning devils solve this problem, after thinking carefully for a while, he already dismissed this idea. He knew that human beings were able to achieve such a level, probably because they had hired experts in this field. Although the power of hell sounds powerful, human beings are not easy to mess with. With a population of several billion and a history of thousands of years, there must be a group of guys who specialize in hell. Now that the human government has found them, using the devil will only be a simple delivery of food. And if they knew every detail of their plan from these devils, then they might have incalculable consequences for his overall arrangement.
At this moment, he didn't want to see such a thing happen. So he dismissed the idea, and he had already made up his mind. Decided to deal with this issue by myself.
It's not just that he's the Lord of Hell, a human being who fills that role. What's more, he became interested in those so-called experts. There are not many human beings who can target evil spirits and devils, so he really wanted to see what kind of guy messed into his plan.
It is Victor's usual temper to plan before acting. However, in this matter, he did not intend to follow his previous temper. One reason is that he is no longer the ordinary person he used to be.
Don't need to worry about so many things. The second is that as the lord of hell, he personally handled this matter, which is completely overkill and overkill. He has full confidence to deal with this problem, so naturally, there is no need to do those advance preparations.
He could start whenever he wanted, and in fact he did. After changing into a normal person's clothes, he had already imitated Mephisto's original appearance, and disappeared into the underground cave of the Dead Sea with a stick of civilization. And when he appeared again, he had already come to Athens, a small city on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.
Athens is a city that anyone who knows history will never forget. Because to some extent, it can be regarded as the representative of the entire Mediterranean civilization and the forerunner of the entire European culture. Those familiar myths and epic legends have nothing to do with this city. It can even be said that the origin of the entire Western civilization can be said to come from here.
Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Pericles, these are the famous thinkers and philosophers of the Athens era. Many of their works have been handed down to this day, and they have made indelible contributions to the development of human civilization. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to use such a word to describe Athens as outstanding. But if you think that Athens will be a big city, then you are very wrong.
The splendor of Athens exists only in the past, not in the present. It can be said that since the Romans captured Athens, the cradle of European civilization has never been glorious again. It can only serve as a symbol in people's impression, or become a vassal of a certain force. In such a situation, Athens has no possibility of becoming a big city at all. Especially under the premise that the Greek government has also been disintegrated due to bankruptcy, it is even more impossible.
It can be said that the current Athens can only be regarded as a small city with a unique style at best. Even its industrialization has been completely removed, and its only value may be to be visited and traveled by people.
Victor came to Athens for the first time, so he was not busy looking for those guys who might destroy his plan, but with a kind of admiration, he visited this city with ancient civilization.
Although ancient Greece was the cradle of Western civilization, in fact, there are not many things it left for mankind to commemorate and admire. A large part of this is caused by the systematic destruction of the Christian movement against polytheism in the Middle Ages. Of course, the transformation and reuse of ancient Greek buildings by the ancient Roman Empire is also a key reason. Today, there are only 20 or 30 ancient Greek ruins that can be admired by modern people. Among them, there are even a few that can make people admire the elegance of Greek civilization.
In addition to the ruins of the castle, which has almost become a pile of rubble, only the temple and the famous theater are worth visiting. So it only took a day or so for Victor to visit these ruins all over. And after visiting these ruins, the only feeling Viktor had was probably only disappointment.
This disappointment is not for these relics, but for the country of Greece. Think about it, a great country can't even preserve its own civilization, and can only let other forces dominate here and abuse it wantonly. What a sad thing. And the reason why it has fallen to this point, Victor thinks, is that there is only one reason, and that is that it failed.
Isn't it normal for a loser to lose everything? However, in the face of such a normal thing, his heart inevitably became vigilant. He warned himself that no matter what, he can't be a loser, he can only be the one who wins, and he can only be the one who has the last laugh. Because only in this way can he keep everything he has now, and only in this way can he have more.
This kind of idea occupied his thoughts, making him inevitably a little dazed. But when he came back to his senses, he found that the entire ancient city had slowly quieted down.
The reason for this is not for any particular reason. It's because the time has just arrived after noon, and the Greeks started their custom of taking a nap.
There is one thing about the Greeks that has always been criticized. That's their laziness. This is not a matter of one person, but a matter of a whole country. Take the life of an average Greek. After they get up in the morning, they will probably spend an hour or two dressing themselves. If they go out at eight o'clock, they will start normal work at nine o'clock. At the beginning of work, they will make a cup of coffee, chat with colleagues and friends, and fart for a while, and then they will officially start working.
Work until noon, eat a lunch. Most Greeks will start taking a nap. The nap time usually starts at two o'clock in the afternoon and ends at six o'clock. During this time, most shops and even banks will be closed. until evening. And at night is the official rest time, so according to this calculation, the working time of an ordinary Greek is only five hours from nine in the morning to two in the afternoon. That's all, and you're taking out the time they spend lunching and chatting and spanking. Therefore, in real calculation, the working time of a normal person may only be about four hours a day.
Working four hours a day is not as long as taking a nap. For many people, this is a dream come true. But this is the norm in Greece. In the face of this normality, Victor doesn't know what others think. Anyway, he himself scoffed a little.
How can a country that doesn't even know how to work hard and fight hard can succeed. It would be ridiculous if they succeeded.
This was just a momentary emotion, and it didn't allow Victor to devote too much energy. After feeling so emotional, he randomly found a public seat and began to enjoy the sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea.
Empty cities, quiet streets. Such an environment is indeed a good place to relax for him who has been in hell for a long time. It's just that the good times don't last long. Soon, this calm was broken. Because at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared in the street, and they became busy in a hurry.
Greek? No! Victor, who noticed this group of people, frowned and found something unusual. And when he recognized the identities of these people, he immediately couldn't help feeling angry.
This is really the case, the enemy's road is narrow.
