Starting From Zero

Volume 19 Chapter 200 Changes in Plan

Hades and I both wanted to take away the target we wanted, but both characters had the need to take it away, but I really didn’t have the ability to do it at the same time. In the end, after much consideration, we couldn’t even throw silver coins. I've tried it, but I still haven't decided who to tie up.

Looking at the expectant looks on Hades and Persephone's faces, and thinking about Ares's expression when he saw Aphrodite, I finally gritted my teeth, stamped my feet, turned around and sent a link to the God of War. . "Help me contact Starfire and Peacock."

After about ten minutes, the voices of Starfire and Peacock suddenly appeared in the communicator. "What do you want from us?"

"I will send you a guide later. Can you two come over and help me tie someone up?"

"Who are you trying to tie up?" Starfire asked.

"Aphrodite, and Demeter."

"The main god of the Olympus Protoss?" Peacock said hesitantly: "It's okay to help, but I'm not sure if I can beat them. The Olympus Protoss is famous among the gods. Strong fighting races, their individual combat capabilities can be ranked in the top ten. Although Starfire and I are also very strong, our opponent is after all the ten main gods of the Olympus Protoss. We have never fought before. What if we can't beat each other after we meet? ah?"

"I think there should be no problem. Demeter is the goddess of harvest, agriculture and forestry. She is responsible for the growth of plants. She should not be the main war god. Aphrodite is the god of love and beauty, and her combat power is probably very limited."

After hearing what I said, Peacock Pluto immediately said: "If you say so, you can give it a try. You can arrange the guide for us immediately, and we will go there."

After communicating about the situation there, I immediately told Hades about the situation. Hades and Persephone were naturally very happy when they heard that I had mobilized people to kidnap the two goddesses together. However, when I asked about the fighting ability of these two people, Persephone frowned and replied: "My mother is fine. She is not someone who likes to fight, and her abilities are not suitable for fighting. , I can go with you then. With me by your side to persuade her, she will definitely not be able to concentrate on fighting you, so it should be easy to control her. As for Aphrodite..."

"What's wrong? Isn't she the goddess of love and beauty?" I asked in confusion, looking at Persephone's expression.

Hades rushed to ask: "You must have never talked to Ares about Aphrodite, right?"

I looked at Hades in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Aphrodite?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that her fighting power is not consistent with her appearance." When Hades said this, the hungry expression on his face was indescribably weird. It felt a bit like he wanted to laugh but was suppressing it. look.

Finally, Persephone said: "Actually, Aphrodite's fighting power is too strong. It seems that apart from Zeus, her fighting power is tied for second with Apollo and Athena among the gods."

"What? Aphrodite can be compared with Athena?"

Hades nodded and said: "Aphrodite really can't beat Athena if she doesn't wear equipment, but her husband is Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmanship, so her equipment is much more powerful than Athena's. "

"Wait a minute, I'm a little 'confused'. You said Aphrodite's husband is Hephaestus and not Ares?"

"Of course." Hades said: "Aphrodite is indeed kinder to Ares, but that is relative to other male gods. In comparison, Aphrodite is kinder to Ares. It’s really good.”

"Then what's going on with this Hephaestus?"

Persephone explained to Hades: "Hephaestus is Aphrodite's nominal husband, but this is what my father Zeus meant, and Aphrodite does not recognize Hephaestus." It's her husband, and she has always denied this marriage to the outside world. As for Ares, I think it's just Aphrodite using him to make Zeus angry, because among all the male gods, Ares is the only one with the biggest marriage. Idiots are easier to bully.”

I helplessly rubbed my temples and said: "I have to say that the marriage relationship between your Olympus body group is really complicated, but fortunately your Hades family is relatively pure. However, in this way Isn’t it completely unnecessary for me to kidnap Aphrodite?”

Persephone said: "So I said just take my mother away."

"But my people are already on their way. If I wait until they come and tell them I don't need them anymore, they will have to tear me apart!"

"Then you can only proceed as planned." Hades said and added: "Actually, I think if you have enough manpower, it would be best to kidnap Hephaestus as well."

"Why?"

Hades held out three fingers and said: "First, Hephaestus is not very strong and is easy to catch. Second, his casting ability is very superb. I heard that the manufacturing technology of your Frost Rose Alliance is very strong. Yes, I think Hephaestus may be of greater use to you than us. As for this third... I think if he, Ares and Aphrodite can get together and have a good talk It will be easier to integrate the three of them into your guild."

I thought for a moment and said, "Then it depends on the situation. If it's easy to make a move then, I'll take him away with him."

Since I was determined to kidnap Aphrodite, and I heard that she was so good at fighting, I quickly asked Hades to help me analyze Aphrodite's fighting characteristics. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger. It doesn't matter how powerful Aphrodite is. As long as we can understand her combat characteristics, there is nothing to worry about.

After studying Aphrodite's combat expertise in detail, we planned another attack. However, what disappeared this time was not the ordinary low-level gods, but the beasts of the Hades system, including the Hydra and Hydra. Cerberus the Cerberus.

Speaking of Cerberus, this guy is not the same thing as the sub-dogs from the Dark Temple. Strictly speaking, the hellhounds in the Dark Temple are just hybrids of the descendants of Cerberus and other species. The combat effectiveness of those things is at best equivalent to that of relatively powerful monsters. But Cerberus is different from them. He is a real super beast. Although he is easy to fall into traps because of his low intelligence, if it is a head-on conflict, the three or five gods are not his opponent at all, even if Zeus is When the guy meets Cerberus, as long as Zeus doesn't use his lightning, Cerberus can at least keep up with Zeus for a few days.

Although Cerberus and Hydra are both very powerful beings, because Hades had greeted them in advance, these two were easily kidnapped by us during our "attack" incident. gone.

After taking care of these two great gods, Peacock Pluto and Starfire finally arrived at the Hades side of Hades. However, after hearing that Aphrodite we were going to attack was more troublesome than imagined, Peacock Pluto and Starfire were a little worried. stand up. Originally, both of them were very powerful beings, and they would not be afraid of anyone easily. The main reason why they were so hesitant this time was not that they felt that they could not defeat Aphrodite, but that they were afraid of wasting time.

My request is to let them help me kidnap Aphrodite, which means that she must be captured alive instead of killed. What’s even more troublesome is that this time the target is within the opponent’s own sphere of influence, which means that our battle must quick. If the time delay is too long and the opponent's large forces are attracted, then it is uncertain who will capture whom.

It is precisely because the requirements of this task are so demanding that Peacock Pluto and Xinghuo have been worried. They are mainly afraid that failing to complete the task will ruin their reputation. After all, these two were famous for being good at fighting in Buddhism, and now they have arrived. If our Frost Rose Alliance is defeated, they won't be able to pass the test themselves if they don't explain it to me.

Compared to the worries of Starfire and the others, I am more tolerant. Not because I know much about Peacock Pluto's fighting power, but because I know that this attack is actually far less dangerous than imagined.

Aphrodite is strong, but her strength is not her own. According to Hades' introduction to me, the reason Aphrodite was able to become the third combat force of the Olympus Protoss as the God of Love and Beauty was because her equipment was so powerful. Although equipment is also one of the strengths, it is not her own power after all. Once we use some special methods to block or partially weaken the effect of the equipment, her combat effectiveness will immediately drop to normal levels. In addition, in addition to the equipment factor, there is another thing that I am more reassured about, which is the reinforcement of troops.

According to my plan, while kidnapping Aphrodite, I will also send another group of people to kidnap Demeter. In fact, the person who executed this plan was none other than Persephone and Hades. The gang has "missed" his subordinates. The reason why I let their combination kidnap Demeter was mainly because I suddenly knew that Aphrodite was so powerful and I really felt uneasy about letting Peacock Pluto and Starfire carry out the task independently. But if I help Peacock Pluto and Starfire, Persephone will be on her own. Later, Hades said that those "missing" people were still waiting for us to go to Isengard anyway, so it was better to let them use this time to help continue the attack, which would save a lot of time.

After hearing Hades's plan, we changed the plan. The original plan to attack Aphrodite and Demeter separately became simultaneous, and Hades will be responsible for Persephone. In the name of arresting people everywhere, in fact, they are deliberately hindering the search operations of the gods. Moreover, after completing the mission, Peacock Pluto and I can mix with Hades's search army and evacuate safely from under the noses of the gods. It is said that this plan kills two birds with one stone. Moreover, we have another advantage in executing this plan, that is, we can further make Zeus think that Hades is really angry now, so that even if Hades does something excessive in the future, Zeus will not find it too strange. After all, In his opinion, Hades was angry because of his repeated early attacks, so he would not be surprised by Hades's abnormal behavior. By the time he really realizes that Hades' behavior is actually a cover-up, we will probably have disappeared long ago.

After all the plans were made, Peacock Pluto and I rested here in Hades first. The reason why we didn't act immediately was because Hades still needed to help us find out the whereabouts of Aphrodite, and Hades We also need to arrange for people to remove or hold back all those who may affect our kidnapping operation. At least they cannot have time to rescue Aphrodite, otherwise the entire plan will fall short.

As the boss of the Hades family among the three major divine systems of the Olympus Protoss, it is easy for Hades to investigate someone's whereabouts. What's more, Hades can now search everywhere on the grounds that his own personnel have disappeared one after another, and he can take the opportunity to collect intelligence.

We only waited here for more than two hours before Hades sent Aeacus to deliver the information we needed.

"Little Colosseum? What is this place?"

Aeacus, who was responsible for delivering the information, stood aside and explained: "The Little Colosseum is an important entertainment venue among the Olympus Protoss. Its content is similar to the Arena, but the scale is smaller, so it is called the Little Colosseum. .”

"Why did you choose such a place?"

Aeacus said quickly: "This is a place specially arranged by Lord Hades. We have just made an appointment with the goddess Aphrodite in the name of Lord Persephone to come here to watch a beast-fighting match. Because Persephone Lady Nirvana is the wife of Lord Hades, so now none of the gods of the God family want to get close to Lady Persephone. In this way, Aphrodite can be moved out of the place where the gods are concentrated. "

I frowned and asked, "If we attack Aphrodite, wouldn't Persephone be under suspicion?"

Aeacus immediately explained: "We have also thought of this, but because there is also Lord Demeter's kidnapping plan, Lord Persephone can use the reason that something happened to her mother to propose a temporary change of plan, so that Aphrodite will leave the Small Colosseum, and you can definitely wait for Aphrodite as long as you ambush outside the Small Colosseum."

Peacock Pluto suddenly interjected: "Can your small Colosseum only accommodate two spectators at a time?"

Aeacus looked at Peacock Pluto in surprise and asked: "How is that possible? Even a small Colosseum cannot only accommodate two spectators. It is said to be small only relative to our large arena."

Starfire said: "But you said you want us to attack Aphrodite when she leaves the small Colosseum. What if she meets someone else in the small Colosseum and goes together?"

"We have also thought about this, but generally the performances in the small Colosseum are by appointment, so there are generally no guests who arrive unexpectedly. We have seen today's list, and those who are going to participate are all gods and sea gods. The only male god is a lowly god. With Aphrodite's reputation, most gods would not dare to get close to her. So she should leave alone."

I nodded and said: "Then let's follow this plan. You go back and tell Hades that the operation must be on time, and don't get the order wrong. Don't let him start arresting people everywhere before our operation has started. That would be a self-inflicted crime!"

"Don't worry about this. We have specially prepared coordinators to take charge of timing this time to ensure that there are no problems in all aspects."

"That's good, let's inform Hades to proceed with this plan."

After Aeacus left, I left Hades' Hades with Peacock Pluto and Starfire. Of course, it took a little time to leave. Hades was under surveillance for a long time, and we had to go in and out. Be careful, or you'll be screwed if you get discovered.

After leaving the underworld, we quickly found the place where we needed to ambush according to the map given by Hades. I have to say that Hades still has some capable people. Following the advice they gave us, we lurked inside a mountain peak. Yes, it is indeed the inside of the mountain.

This mountain called Mount Azid just blocks the only way between the Colosseum and Mount Olympus. Because the Olympians are not good at flying, they usually walk on land. Climbing high mountains may not be a big problem for other protoss, but it is quite troublesome for them. Fortunately, there is a naturally formed mountain-crossing tunnel in the middle of Mount Azid. If nothing else happens, Aphrodite will definitely pass through here, and we are now ambushing a newly dug branch of this tunnel. middle.

This tunnel through the mountain originally had no forks, so people passing here would not bother to memorize the route. Anyway, as long as you follow the road, you will definitely pass through the mountain and reach the other side, so why bother to memorize the route? Because there was originally only one road here, our next plan was much easier to handle.

According to the plan arranged by Hades's men for us, we dug a branch directly on the side of this passage, and then asked Amynis to temporarily close the branch with illusion, so that when others passed by, there would be no chance of them passing by. You will find that there is a branch road here. After all, there is no branch road here, so no one will bother to pay attention to the wall. However, when Aphrodite passes by here, we can use illusion to block the real passage, so that Aphrodite will naturally turn into the branch road we just dug. In this way, after she goes deep into the forked road, we only need to seal the entrance, and then we can do whatever we want.

The work of digging holes in the mountain was not a problem for us at all. With rose vines and pioneers, we quickly completed the construction of the branch road. After that, I asked Amynis to follow the real branch road outside. The walls here have been slightly treated so that they look no different from the natural tunnel.

After extending this passage to a few kilometers away from the main passage, the passage passes through the side of the mountain. This happens to be a large no-man's land. When Aphrodite walks out from here, she will of course find the outside. The environment is different from the correct path, but by then it will be too late.

After digging the tunnel, our task was to wait, but Aphrodite didn't let us wait long. Less than an hour after we completed the passage and returned to the fork, the ghost bug I sent reported the discovery of the target.

"Quick, quick, she's coming." As soon as the ghost bug reported that the target had been found, I didn't even connect the ghost bug's sight to see what Aphrodite looked like, but directly reminded Emenes to start arranging illusions to hide the real tunnel.

After Amynis arranged the shielding illusion, we quickly left the place and started running forward along the passage. It is obviously unwise to stay at the entrance of the passage. Aphrodite is one of the ten main gods of the Olympus Protoss anyway, not to mention her strength itself is very strong. With her sensing ability, if we hide in the passage, she will definitely find us. So we have to get out of this passage first so she doesn't get suspicious. As for the ghost bugs left behind to monitor her whereabouts, there's no need to worry about that. Firstly, the ghost bugs themselves are too weak to easily attract others' attention. Secondly, they are creatures that are good at lurking. Most people are basically unable to detect them as long as they don't concentrate.

After taking a few minutes to run out of the passage, Peacock Pluto and I flew some distance away, and then we quietly waited for Aphrodite to appear, and it was only then that I had time to connect along the way. The ghost bug took a look at Aphrodite. Hades did not give me the image information of Aphrodite before. He only gave me a copy of Aphrodite's magical characteristics, so just now the ghost bug was able to confirm Aphrodite's approach for the first time. , because magical characteristics are like human fingerprints, which are more suitable for distinguishing identities than appearance. However, precisely because Hades gave her magical characteristics, I still don’t know what Aphrodite looks like. You must know that she is known as the God of Love and Beauty, so her appearance must be outstanding, right? I am looking forward to witnessing the beauty of the most beautiful woman in the Olympus Protoss. I wonder if she is more beautiful than the goddesses in our Frost Rose Alliance.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. When I connected the line of sight of a ghost bug near Aphrodite, I felt a buzzing in my head. It's not because of how beautiful Aphrodite looks or how unexpected she is, but because there is someone else beside her, and this person is an old acquaintance of mine. Of course, you can also call me an old enemy, because walking side by side with Aphrodite is Athena who almost got into a fight with me last time in the City of Commandments.

"Oops!"

Because they are not my magic pets, Peacock Pluto and Xinghuo cannot share my sight like Ling and the others, so they only saw me gasping for breath with a weird expression, but they didn't know what I saw.

Starfire asked worriedly, "What on earth did you see?"

Peacock Pluto also looked at me nervously and asked: "Did Aphrodite discover the illusion arranged by Amynes?"

I shook my head and said, "She has already entered the branch road we dug."

Peacock Pluto asked in confusion: "Then what are you worried about?"

"The problem is there's another one with her."

"who?"

"Athena!"

Peacock Pluto and Starfire were obviously startled when they heard the name Athena. Compared to Aphrodite, Athena was famous, and this woman was known to be able to fight. The plan to kidnap Aphrodite already made Peacock Pluto and Starfire a little nervous. Now that Athena was added to the mix, they both immediately became nervous.

"What should we do?" Peacock Pluto said first: "If we are allowed to draw an area with them and fight freely, I am confident that even if we cannot capture them, we will definitely defeat them. But you want us to kidnap them, and There is a time limit, and in order to ensure that we do not attract help from the Olympus Protoss too early, we cannot use powerful skills. How do you want us to fight?"

Xinghuo also nodded and said: "Ziri, I think it's better to give up the plan for the time being and make a decision again? If these two goals come together and we want to kidnap them, the danger will be too great. I think it's better..."

Just when Starfire was about to tell me to give up, I said directly: "No, the plan must go ahead. Hades has already begun preparations to cover up. If we don't attack Aphrodite now, let her run away." If we go back, Hades will be exposed immediately, and then our entire immigration plan will be over."

"But……"

"No but. The plan must go ahead. Even if we can't kidnap them, we must at least hold them for a while, and then we have to escape. But it is obviously impossible for you not to hurt anyone, so the plan will be slightly adjusted. You guys will You can just let go and attack, but if it doesn’t work, you can even kill the target.”

Xinghuo nodded and said: "If this is the case, we can try it, but once we let go of the battle with all our strength, the power will be very great, and we will definitely not be able to hide it if we want to. Also, although the high-power skills have strong attack power, the control It’s difficult to get up, so if we kill the target directly, don’t blame us.”

"Don't worry, this is a special situation, any accidents will be mine."

"Then we can really let it go." Peacock said and already took out his weapon. I was shocked when I saw the circle of swords behind her like a peacock opening a bottle. .

"Please, I didn't tell you to go all out when I asked you to do it? Peacock, why did you even take out the five-colored divine feather sword?"

"I don't know about Aphrodite, but I still know a little bit about Athena's strength. If I don't use the magic weapon to deal with her, I will probably suffer a loss, so don't say it. But don't worry, I will try to be careful not to use it. It’s too much.”

The colorful divine feather sword of Peacock Pluto is actually a sword made from the feathers on her tail. Since the feather itself is something from Peacock Pluto, it is connected to her soul. . As long as she has a thought, these flying swords will immediately fly out to kill the enemy. And unlike the sword formation of Gold Coin, which wins by quantity, the Divine Feather Sword of Peacock Pluto wins by quality. Not only was the natal soul of Peacock Pluto imbued in that feather, but also her five-color divine light was added to it. Not only could it kill people, it was also good at breaking spells. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a magic weapon killer. If this thing didn't need the magic power of Peacock Pluto to exert its spell-breaking effect, its strength would be almost on par with the Eternal Sword.

Seeing that Peacock Pluto even took out his magic weapon, Xinghuo couldn't neglect it. She took out six small silver-white light balls that looked like thorn balls. As soon as those light balls appeared, they immediately rotated around Xinghuo's body like satellites. Although I have never seen Xinghuo use this thing, since Xinghuo took it out at this time, this thing must have been regarded as her most treasured treasure.

Almost as soon as our preparations were completed, Aphrodite and Athena finally walked out of the cave entrance on the opposite side. The two people who were still talking and laughing were immediately stunned when they saw the environment outside. Then the two of them immediately took out their weapons and got into fighting postures.
