Volume 20 Chapter 72 Aphrodite’s Fake News

Aphrodite said to let me leave, but Zeus didn't stop it. All this stemmed from the words Aphrodite whispered to Zeus before. Therefore, the Olympus gods present wanted to know Aphrodite very much. What on earth did Rodite say to Zeus, so that Zeus would rather be embarrassed than forcefully keep me? 【】

In fact, Aphrodite didn't tell Zeus any important news, she just gave Zeus a heads up.

I previously sent Aphrodite back to the Olympus Protoss with three missions. One was to find and contact the protoss within the Olympus Protoss who might join us in advance, and the other was to investigate the twelve star gods. Whether the surrender is trustworthy, and the third is to investigate the location of the core of the Olympus divine power.

In the past two days since her return, apart from contacting the members of the Gods she had made friends with, the most important thing Aphrodite did was to investigate where the core of divine power was. And just after leaving Hephaestus, she finally Obtained the location information of the divine power core from Athena. As for what Aphrodite said to Zeus just now, "God King, Zi Ri may have come to deliberately contain us. When I escaped before, I seemed to have heard that they were going to attack our divine core, and they It seems that we already know the location of the core of our divine power."

The core of divine power is the foundation of a protoss. Any protoss will protect it as life, and the Olympus protoss is obviously no exception. Regardless of whether what Aphrodite said was true or false, Zeus did not dare to bet on the truth of this matter. It's like if someone calls and says that a bomb has been installed on a plane, even if the police don't believe it, they will still ground the plane and search it carefully because they can't afford the gamble. Zeus also knows that what Aphrodite said may not be true, even if Aphrodite asked him to attack me before. That only lowered Aphrodite's danger level. It doesn't mean that Zeus completely believed her, but even if he didn't believe her, Zeus still decided to let me go for the time being.

Forcing me to stay may not mean that I won't be able to stay, but after all, the success rate is not 100%. Moreover, judging from the current situation, I am not as easy to deal with as he imagined. At least arresting me will definitely pay a very serious price. And, more importantly. Even if I are killed or captured, the symbolic meaning is actually greater than the actual meaning, because I am a player, not an NPC. Killing me will only make me drop the level, but will not really make me disappear. Therefore, apart from the face factor, intercepting me does not have much practical significance.

Although the Olympus Protoss is as obsessed with face as most of the Protoss, they don't care about face enough to dare to gamble with their divine power core. They still decide which is more important, face or faith.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Zeus made such a choice. on the contrary. It would be strange if Zeus still insisted on not letting me go.

Zeus didn't speak here, and the surrounding Olympus gods didn't dare to interrupt casually. Seeing that no one was speaking, Aphrodite simply pointed in a direction to let the Olympus protoss over there get out of the way. Those protoss looked at Zeus again hesitantly. Seeing that Zeus still didn't respond, he slowly moved to the side to make way for an exit.

I used to speak angrily to others in order to make them lose their minds so that I could take advantage in the battle. Now that people have made way for me, if I continue to talk nonsense here, it will not be arrogance, but water in my head. He glanced at the Olympus Protoss around him. Without saying a word, I turned around and walked from the exit to the edge of the square. I immediately transformed my body. After a burst of deformation, several propellers stretched out from under the wings on my back, followed by a loud rumbling sound and jets of water. With the flames, my whole body shot into the air like a missile and accelerated violently, and within a few seconds I was out of sight.

"King of Gods. Why did you let him go?" The reason for not speaking before was out of consideration for maintaining Zeus's authority in front of outsiders. Now that I was gone, the Olympus protoss immediately began to ask questions.

Zeus didn't pay attention to these people's questions at all. He turned directly to Aphrodite and said "Follow me" and then turned and walked directly to his office in the Olympus Temple.

Because Zeus kept showing a stinky face that he would not let strangers in, those Olympians did not dare to ask any more questions even if they had a lot of questions. They could only go back to where they should stay.

Although Aphrodite was called out by Zeus, she was not worried at all. Given her status, Zeus would not dare to do anything to her without conclusive evidence. So she was convinced that Zeus called her probably because of the core of divine power just mentioned.

Sure enough, after Zeus entered his office together, Zeus stared straight into Aphrodite's eyes without saying a word as soon as he sat down. Aphrodite knew that Zeus was trying to find a flaw in her, but because she was confident, she had no intention of being cowardly at all, and looked at Zeus without saying a word.

After a few minutes, Zeus probably felt that there would be no results from playing the staring game, so Zeus stopped pretending to be serious and finally took the initiative to ask.

"Are you really sure they know?"

Aphrodite knew what Zeus was referring to, so she just shook her head. "No, I'm not sure."

"and you……"

Zeus had just said two words when he was interrupted by Aphrodite.

"Although I can't be sure whether the Chaos and Order Gods really decided to attack our divine power core, nor can I be sure that they know the location of our divine power core, I can roughly judge something, and the result of this judgment makes me not sure. Dare to gamble."

The last one who didn't dare to gamble was approved by Zeus, because he didn't dare to gamble either.

"What on earth did you hear?" Maybe the previous words made Zeus believe in Aphrodite a little more, so the tone of this question became much kinder.

Aphrodite did not behave because of Zeus's kind tone, but continued to talk about what she had seen and heard in a serious manner. Aphrodite is not an idiot. Although she has never studied acting, she knows that the key to playing a role well is not to behave inconsistently with the role, not to mention that she is now acting in her own right. It's just that he plays another version of himself who is loyal to the Olympus Protoss. So she knows better how to grasp this balance.

Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and love, but she could not get her love, and was forced to marry the ugly and disabled Hephaestus, the laughing stock of the Olympus clan. None of this was what she wanted, and the reason for all this was that the old pervert in front of her was trying to turn her daughter into his own woman. Aphrodite later refused Zeus's unreasonable request, so Zeus married her to his ugliest son Hephaestus in a rage. Although Hephaestus and Aphrodite later made a secret agreement to just pretend to be husband and wife, but anyway. Being forced into a fake marriage to a lame and ugly guy and unable to pursue his true love was already quite painful. In this state, even if Aphrodite didn't want to defect, she would never have a good face towards Zeus, let alone get close to him.

Aphrodite knew her situation, so although Zeus softened her tone, she still said with a businesslike expression: "I once heard one of the guards guarding me in the cell of the Frost Rose Alliance. The Gods of Order had a conversation with another adventurer about attacking us. They were separated by a door and their voices were low. I only heard a few words intermittently. One of them was like this. The Gods of Chaos and Order He said that the core of divine power of our Olympus Protoss is very large, and he estimates that he can get a large share of the divine power ration."

Zeus had no reaction when he first heard this, but after a few seconds he suddenly became nervous. The fact that the Twelve Star Gods are preparing to join our Frost Rose Alliance was indeed arranged by Zeus in order to trick me into coming to Greece. Make it easier for them to start. After all, the local protoss cannot go abroad at will. This restriction is quite annoying, so if the Olympus protoss who wants revenge wants to deal with me, they can only lure me to their territory. But now it seems that there was a big problem with their plan when it was first formulated, because they did not reasonably calculate my combat effectiveness.

I was besieged by so many Olympians in the square just now. Although those are the second- and third-tier Olympus Protoss, they are still Protoss after all. The fact that I can persist for so long surrounded by so many second- and third-tier gods is an exaggeration in itself. Besides, I did two pretty amazing things. First, he defeated Athena within a few moves, and second, he blocked his ultimate move. These two actions all illustrate my terrifying fighting ability. In this way, the original plan to trick me into coming to Greece was a mistake, or at least poorly planned, because they did not plan how to get me into the designated encirclement according to their intentions. Light tricked me into coming to Greece. With my fighting power, as long as I don't step into their encirclement, it is impossible for the few Olympus protoss that I encounter nearby to cause harm to me.

Although there are problems with the plan, after all, the bait plan of the Twelve Star Gods has been implemented, and the plan itself is based on the defection of the Twelve Star Gods. Well, since a star god wants to escape, he must operate the divine core. Therefore, it is understandable that we have information related to the divine core. This is why Zeus did not react at first.

However, Zeus's expression later showed that he had thought of the key. According to Aphrodite, the God of Chaos and Order mentioned being allocated a quota of divine power. The allocation of divine power quotas is something that every protoss must do on a regular basis. It is just like paying wages, except that some protoss pay monthly, some pay annually, and of course there are various calculation methods such as weekly pay. However, there is a problem in linking the quota of divine power with attacking a protoss.

If it is said that after attacking a hostile protoss, one will receive a quota of divine power, then the only result that can be imagined is loot. Only by attacking a protoss and successfully snatching the opponent's divine power core can it be possible to allocate additional divine power to all members of the protoss.

Originally, this statement was nothing, but the problem is that the plan Zeus asked the twelve star gods to give us was to get their divine seeds out of the divine core, but now the plan we want to carry out is to take away the entire divine core. . If this is true, it means that the plan has gone beyond the scope of the original plan made by the Olympus Protoss. In other words, what is going on now is not the plan of their Olympus Protoss, but the plan of our Frost Rose Alliance and the Chaos and Order Protoss.

"What else did you hear besides this?" At this time, Zeus obviously lost the tone of previous investigation and evidence collection. His tone showed that he was trying to collect intelligence to determine the next move. This is not suspicion, but making an action plan based on this information after confirming the truth of the matter.

Aphrodite heard the change in Zeus' tone, but she did not show it. Instead, she continued with her previous attitude: "I heard some of their conversations later, but at that time someone came in and out of the cell next to me, and the door opened. The things that happened covered their voices. I only heard them intermittently talking about a lake called Sihu, and the Chaos and Order God Clan said that he hated going into the water. Then the member of the Frost Rose Alliance said that he didn't like it either. Water, I also heard them say that they won’t have to go into the water after some device is destroyed.”

At this time, following Aphrodite's words, Zeus's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, until they were almost twisted into a knot.

For an unrelated person, this passage has almost no meaning, but for Zeus it is extremely amazing, because the core of the divine power of the Olympus Protoss is under a lake, and the name of this lake is It's called Arcas. Obviously, the lake Aphrodite heard about was Lake Arcas, and the conversation about going into the water clearly shows that we know that the core of their divine power is under the lake. Otherwise, our members of the Frost Rose Alliance and members of the Chaos and Order God Clan would somehow come to Greece to go diving?

Of course, this alone wasn't enough to make Zeus nervous. As the lifeblood of a protoss, which protoss has a core of divine power that is not heavily guarded by agencies and heavily guarded by troops? The divine power core of their Olympus Protoss is similar. Even if someone knows the location, it is not that easy to rush in. What's more, there is an alarm device directly connected to Zeus's side. As soon as there is an attack there, Zeus will know immediately. So as long as that place can block the enemy for a short time, all the Olympus gods outside will rush to that place quickly.

However, the above situation is based on the enemy having to attack by force. Under normal circumstances, even if someone discovers the storage location of the divine power core under Arcas Lake, they must sneak into the bottom of the lake. First, they must defeat the guarding monsters in the lake, and then they must attack all the way through the pre-arranged passage to enter. This will definitely waste time, and they can use this time to rush to the scene and attack the enemy from both inside and outside.

However, what Aphrodite relayed also mentioned that we need to destroy some device so that we don't have to go into the water. Of course, this outsider would not think there was any connection, but Zeus knew it, because there was a space force field reinforcement device placed in the core storage place of divine power under Lake Arcas. This magical device can completely seal a space, leaving only a single passage for people to enter and exit. The space within the range of this instrument will be indestructible, which means that you cannot teleport within this range, nor can you enter the interior of this range through anywhere except the passage.

Precisely because of the existence of such a device, Zeus was not worried at all that he would not be able to defend it. No one can teleport in anyway, and there are so many high-level guards and guardian beasts inside. If the enemy wants to rush in through the only passage, it will take several hours even if they take human lives to fill it. By that time their reinforcements had arrived early. But now we are planning to destroy the device, and it sounds like we have figured out how to do it. Does this not make Zeus anxious?

"Aphrodite, did you hear what they said about how to destroy the device?" Zeus asked eagerly. ! .
