Chapter 3089 Mercury Notes (Forty-Nine)

Chapter 3063 Mercury (Forty-nine)

Hades' body has become very stiff. It seems that he has faced a monster head-on, but he has no power to fight back. However, he fought to the last moment and was a respectable opponent. The Young Avengers did not choose to move his body, but bypassed him and came to the back of the throne.

There is a portal leading to the Temple of Olympus. The good news is that the portal can still be used. The bad news is that it seems to have been opened not long ago. If the mysterious eldest son has really been released and went to the Temple of Olympus through the portal, then the Olympus pantheon is in danger.

The few people did not hesitate and passed through the portal at the fastest speed. Mount Olympus was terribly quiet at this time.

Although it is called Mount Olympus, it is not a mountain, but more like a group of temples. In Clark's words, it is a community where gods live.

The first thing that caught the eye was the floating steps. The long steps to the gods went straight into the clouds. The huge temple was looming. It was the residence of Zeus. Surrounding it was the temple and garden of Hera. In addition to Hades, the temples of the twelve pillars were arranged behind them, all hidden in the clouds and holy light.

The team members climbed the long steps as quickly as possible and came to the door of the Temple of Zeus. Zeus was no longer on the throne, and the Queen Hera also disappeared.

Dick and his team did not dare to be arrogant. They searched carefully here and found some subtle traces of fighting, but they did not look like they were left by the eldest son. They were obviously different from the wounds on Hades.

Going around the temple of Zeus and going back, they came to the temple of Ares, the god of war. The status of the god of war was not low, but his temple was relatively remote, because his duties were similar to Heimdall in Asgard, and he needed to guard the entrances to various places on Mount Olympus.

Before he even got close to the temple, Dick had a very ominous premonition. Sure enough, there were many signs of destruction in the Temple of the God of War, which was almost exactly the same as the one in the Temple of Hades, and it looked violent and wild.

Several people bypassed the front hall and came to the back of the temple, where they saw the tragically dead body of the God of War Ares.

He was still hit on the chest, and his head was taken away. Blood was splattered everywhere. It seemed that he and the eldest son had a little fight, but unfortunately he was defeated in the end.

At this point in the investigation, it was not wise to continue to pursue it rashly. It was time to summarize the clues obtained.

They returned to the Temple of Ares and formed a circle in the center of the temple. Dick spoke first: "It seems that Hades fought with him in order to prevent the eldest son from leaving the underworld, but unfortunately he was defeated, and Ares was in order to prevent the eldest son from leaving Mount Olympus, and he was also killed like Hades."

Jason shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case."

Everyone looked at him.

It was normal for Hades, the god of the underworld, to want to stop the eldest son, because the eldest son had a grudge against the gods of Mount Olympus. Once he left the underworld and went to Mount Olympus, there would be a river of blood on Mount Olympus. As a member of the gods, he would certainly stop him.

But Ares had no need to stop the eldest son from leaving. On the contrary, for him, the farther away this terrible trouble was from them, the better. As long as he didn't massacre Mount Olympus, no one would care where he went.

And the eldest son had no motive to leave Mount Olympus. If it was really Zeus and Hera who imprisoned him, then his only enemies would be his parents. Would he go to Earth for revenge?

Although this mythical creature might not care about the lives of ordinary humans, he was not the kind of evil god who could only gain power by absorbing human souls. He was already powerful enough to kill Hades in one move. Killing humans was of no benefit to him. Why did he go far away and come to Mount Olympus, and go to the human world through the portal of Mount Olympus?

This made the others suddenly realize.

Indeed, from the perspective of motivation, it makes sense for Hades to fight to the death. On the one hand, if he doesn't resist, the eldest son will never let him go, so it's better to fight to the death. On the other hand, once the eldest son climbs Mount Olympus and kills Zeus, he will have no backing. If he doesn't kill Zeus, Zeus will definitely hold him accountable for his poor supervision. It's reasonable for Hades to try his best to stop him.

But Ares is completely different. If he can let this monster leave directly through the portal, it will be a great achievement.

But the problem is that the eldest son will not leave at all. His enemies are all here. Where else can he go?

Jason spoke again: "So it is very abnormal for Ares to die here at the portal. Once the eldest son comes to Mount Olympus, he will definitely go to Zeus for trouble. How could Ares not go to support him?"

Everyone also began to think about this problem. Raven thought about it and said: "Could it be that he felt that he was more confident in dealing with the eldest son, so he sealed the portal first and caught the turtle in the jar?"

"Impossible." Faust said: "Ares was also there when the eldest son was born. If he was sure, he would obey Zeus's orders. Kill him directly, instead of sealing him in the underworld after making a fuss."

Raven thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, she didn't think Zeus and Hera had any affection for the eldest son. Then sealing him in the underworld must not be just to save his life, but because they couldn't do anything with him, so they had to do this. If Ares was so sure, the eldest son would not have survived at that time.

"Is the portal really the first crime scene?" Aisha touched her chin and said, "I'll go back and take a look."

Aisha went back and looked around, then shook her head and said, "There are no signs of the body being dragged, and the direction of the blood splashing is completely correct. There is no possibility of forgery. It seems that he really died at the portal."

"Then there is only one possibility." Dick said, "Ares knew he was no match for his opponent and wanted to escape."

"Then he couldn't have gone through this portal." Faust said, "You also saw that there were no signs of fighting in the palace of Zeus and Hera, but they disappeared. The eldest son is always Maybe they ate them, but more likely, the God King and God Queen had received the news long ago and took the gods out for refuge. "

"So, Ares was the last one to leave?"

"That's not right." Dick shook his head and said, "If Zeus and Hera could run so fast and so cleanly, it proves that the situation was not very critical at the time. There was no need to leave one behind. Ares could have gone with them."

The inference was deadlocked here. It seemed that none of the situations were right, but Jason suddenly had an idea. He said, "What if Ares was not a victim but a planner?"

Everyone cast curious eyes at him.

"Look, it should have taken some time for the eldest son to escape, enter the underworld, and kill Hades. Although Hades was defeated in one move, he had time to inform Zeus between discovering the eldest son's trace and confronting him."

The others nodded, thinking that Jason was right. The underworld was Hades's kingdom. Even if someone released the eldest son, such a big thing would not fail to alarm Hades. He would definitely inform Zeus before the eldest son really found him.

That is to say, not long after the eldest son escaped, Zeus and Hera knew that he might come to them. They might have suffered a loss at the hands of this powerful monster, so this time they chose to avoid the edge and lead all the gods to temporarily evacuate Mount Olympus.

Once Zeus left, Mount Olympus was almost completely unregulated. At this time, anyone who stayed on the mountain could do anything without listening to Zeus's orders, which was completely impossible in the past.

Dick thought for a moment and continued, "You mean Ares stayed here on purpose to do something while Zeus was away? What did he want to do?"

"He wanted to go to the human world." Jason said, "Just like Poseidon."

The others then remembered that there was another key link in this series of events, which was that Poseidon suddenly appeared in Atlantis, which was very abnormal.

Although Poseidon was the god of the sea and had a close relationship with Zeus, Zeus was the king of gods after all. Without Zeus's permission, how could he dare to go down to earth and stir up trouble?

And for Zeus, the eldest son was facing a great enemy. Although they had a place to run, what if this guy chased them?

Therefore, for Zeus, the best thing to do is to twist all the power in his hands and use it to fight against the eldest son. It doesn't matter if Hades can't save him, but Ares and Poseidon are the top fighters on Mount Olympus. How could Zeus let them go to the human world to make trouble at this time instead of staying by his side?

In other words, Ares and Poseidon may not have obeyed Zeus's orders.

And as Jason proposed, turning them from victims to perpetrators can explain all this. They just want to wait for Zeus to flee in a panic, and then take the opportunity to open the portal to the human world and make trouble.

It is also possible that they knew that the eldest son would escape earlier than Zeus, and they have been waiting for this day for a long time, and it is even possible that the eldest son's escape is related to them.

From the beginning to the end, they just wanted to force Zeus's family to give up their control over Mount Olympus so that they could take advantage of the opportunity.

Funa shook her head and said, "But I don't see what benefit they get from going down to the lower world. Their grievances on Mount Olympus have nothing to do with humans, right?"

Jason also fell into thought, because he really couldn't see why he went to such great lengths to go down to the lower world. It didn't seem to have any obvious benefits. Instead, Ares messed up, ran a step slower, fell in front of the portal, and lost his life.

At this time, Aisha said, "What they are going to do, just look at Poseidon."

"Poseidon?" Jason whispered the name, thought about what Poseidon had done, and grasped the key.

"Poseidon didn't mean to disrupt the Atlantic Ocean. The most harmful thing he really did was to attack Atlantis!" Jason suddenly understood something, and he said, "And once Atlantis is in trouble, Sea King Arthur can't just ignore it."

Everyone looked at each other and said a word in unison: "Mercury!"
