Chapter 3085 Mercury Notes (Forty-Five)
Chapter 3059 Mercury (Forty-five)
Mortals cannot climb Mount Olympus. Even the few good-looking sons left by Zeus in the human world had to work hard to climb Mount Olympus again.
The newly formed youth group can be said to be alone, but the situation in this universe is too different from other universes. The people who can be shaken by these adopted sons of the Wayne family can scare people in all universes.
Tim also joined the team, but he only provided technical support remotely. The first person he contacted was Deathstroke.
After the economic crisis, the killers could not get any work, and they all jumped off the building to sell off their prices. Deathstroke wanted to raise his son, so he jumped into the Mariana Trench. Nothing else, it was just cheap.
Tim paid Deathstroke to entrust him, but he didn't ask Deathstroke to take them to Mount Olympus, but he only wanted Deathstroke to find a way to enter the Amazon.
Although Paradise Island is a public tourist destination, in fact, the defense of the Amazon is very tight. The female warriors take turns patrolling, and it is not easy to get close to the core.
But now, the Young Avengers must find a way to contact the Amazons. Diana must have left a way to get to Mount Olympus there.
Deathstroke is indeed the strongest tactical master. He led a group of people through the Amazon rainforest and found a small path for him to approach Paradise Island and successfully cracked the high-tech equipment used by Paradise Island to hide its location, allowing a group of people to sneak in.
Deathstroke is even a better infiltration master than Batman. Under his leadership, the group approached the palace of Hippolyta, the queen of Paradise Island, without any danger.
Out of caution, they did not all show up in front of the queen, but let Dick and Raven appear, while Jason and Aisha hid aside to guard against accidents.
The arrival of Dick and Raven obviously scared the queen. The two did not tell the queen how they sneaked in, and the breath of the Three Palace Demon on Raven also made the queen very afraid. When she learned that they came to explore the situation of Mount Olympus, the queen also acted helpless.
About two weeks ago, Mount Olympus closed almost all the passages to the human world. The queen shook her head and said, "Even I can no longer feel the breath of the sacred mountain, and I can no longer go to Olympus."
Raven and Dick looked at each other. They thought that the queen was not lying, so it seemed that something really happened to Mount Olympus.
"Are all the passages closed?" Dick asked.
The queen nodded and said, "As far as I know, all the passages on Earth are closed, but..."
"But what?"
"There is a passage to Mount Olympus in the underworld, and that door can never be closed, so if you want to go to Mount Olympus now, you have to go to the underworld first, but it is the kingdom of the dead, full of death and fear..."
When she heard about the breath of fear, Aisha was excited. If Jason hadn't grabbed her, she would have jumped out.
Dick obviously thought of this, so he said, "We are not afraid of these, we just want to find out the truth. Your Majesty, do you know how to go to the underworld?"
"Only the dead can go to the underworld, but you are not believers of Olympus, so you don't have to cross the Styx after death, so there is only one way for you to go to the underworld."
"What?"
"Go find the 'Key of Tartarus'. Someone once used this key to open the door to the underworld and went to the kingdom of the dead."
"So where is the key now?"
"I don't know." The queen shook her head and said, "It happened suddenly. I couldn't predict it in advance, so it was impossible to find the key. In fact, I also have something to ask you."
Dick actually guessed something, and he said, "You also want to know the situation on Mount Olympus, right?"
"Yes, and if possible, I hope you can stop the disaster that is happening on Mount Olympus."
Dick heard the queen's words, and he said, "You don't seem to be surprised that disasters will befall the gods."
The queen sighed and said, "It's only a matter of time."
Dick narrowed his eyes.
"They have brought this upon themselves, but child, that was a war between gods, and it has nothing to do with humans. On the contrary, if the gods are completely destroyed, the being that devoured their power will turn your home into hell."
"Who is that?"
"The source of all magical power, and the creator of the gods, his name carries special power, so it's better not to say it out. If you can, helping the gods is also helping yourself."
The queen knows something, but not enough. Dick thinks that maybe she knew something from Zeus or other Olympian gods before, and expected this day.
But the disaster still came suddenly, so the queen didn't have time to do more. She couldn't leave Paradise Island easily. Now the task of saving the gods fell on the newly formed Young Avengers team.
Speaking of this, Dick was also a headache. Although he had no awe of the gods, he had to admit that the family behind Diana was not something that the evil gods and monsters on earth could touch. They were genuine ancient gods.
If they were all afflicted by some magical source, would humans really have the power to resist?
That being said, it was useless to think about it. The Justice League and Bruce were not on Earth, and Dick felt that as the eldest son of the Wayne family, he had an obligation to protect the Earth on their behalf.
After leaving the Queen's Palace, Dick told all the information he had obtained to others, including Gordon and Victor, but no one had heard of the mysterious Key of Tartarus.
Now they knew the consequences of not taking the magic theory course at Gotham School of Magic. They had never heard of these unfamiliar and difficult-to-pronounce magic legends, and they had no way to find them.
Originally, they had to find Constantine for this knowledge, but the problem was that Constantine was missing and could not be found.
As a last resort, Dick sent a message to Mercury. Although the Justice League could not come back, the information could still be returned.
Zatanna suggested that they go to find the Dark Master.
Dark Master Jim and his team stayed at the Gotham School of Magic for a while, and then returned to London to guard the Forgotten Bar. Raven took everyone to London again.
Hearing their intention, Master Dark Night's expression gradually became serious. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "If something happens on Mount Olympus, it will definitely be a major turmoil in the magic world. You kids shouldn't get involved."
Aisha bit off half of his counter with a snap, wiped the foam from the corner of her mouth and said, "Tell me again who is the child?"
The gorilla detective next to him was so distressed that Master Dark Night took a breath and looked at Aisha up and down. He seemed to have seen some clues. He said, "I admit that you may have some tricks, but this is nothing like this Simply, the source of the power of the gods is an ancient secret. To investigate this, it takes more than just brute force."
"We know that Hades is very strong." Dick explained: "And his underworld is more independent than Mount Olympus. If we can find him first, learn the secrets of the gods from him and By winning his support, I think we might be able to turn the situation around in Olympus.”
Seeing their persistence, Master Dark Night could not say anything. He said: "I can't leave the bar easily to avoid being taken advantage of and disrupt more magic planes. Regarding the Key of Tartarus you mentioned, I haven’t heard of it either, but I know that the door to the underworld has been opened once in recent years.”
"when?"
"It's not important. What's important is that if only this mysterious key can open the door, and someone has succeeded before, it proves that this key is likely to be in his hand."
"Who is this person?"
"Arch Mage Faust." When this person's name was mentioned, Master Dark Night couldn't help but frown. He said: "He used to be a member of the Archmage Alliance, but he has disappeared for a long time. Most people I think he went to hide from his debts, but I know that this guy has never stopped. "
"He didn't show up in the last vampire incident, and he escaped. Now he should be hiding in a dark space somewhere, exploring the secrets of taboos."
"Do you know where he is now?"
The Dark Master slowly shook his head and said, "These old guys are very cunning, and it is difficult to find their hiding places. I'm afraid I can't help you much, I'm sorry."
Dick was not discouraged after returning empty-handed again. At least they got some clues and knew the name Faust.
Dick sent what the Dark Master said to Tim, and Tim began to search the surname Faust comprehensively to see if he could find anything in the social information of ordinary people.
The group went to the Gotham School of Magic. There were a large number of magic books in the library of the School of Magic Theory, all of which were brought back from hell by Bruce at that time. They recorded many ancient secrets that were unknown to humans, and perhaps there would be information about the key.
Although a group of top students left the academy, there were still many students attending classes. They were a little curious about Dick and his group of strangers who didn't come to class often, and finally even alarmed the principal.
Now, the principal of Gotham Magic Academy is also Thaddeus Sivana, who can only be said to have some talent in being a principal.
Dick and his friends felt that since he could be the principal here, he should be trustworthy, so they told him about their investigation.
Sivana heard that although he couldn't find the old guy named Faust, he knew an old man who belonged to the Grand Mage Alliance with Faust, who was squatting at the Eternal Rock and was also his enemy when he was a child.
Sivana didn't hide it and told him everything about his encounter with Old Shazam when he was a child. Several children were indignant when they heard it. They knew what a good teacher was like, so they were very dissatisfied with Old Shazam's irresponsible educational methods of killing and burying.
In line with the principle of trying three times before they get a chance, they hope that Sivana can find a way to take them to the Rock of Eternity to ask the old man if he knows anything about Faust. It would be best if he knows.
But Sivana did not take them there in person, but asked them to find Shazam, the successor chosen by the old Shazam later, that is, Billy Batson.
Everyone drew a lot of birthday pictures for Schiller, thank you!
