Chapter 295 Hades
Chapter 295 Hades
Passing through the lush forest, Wu Erqi arrived at the tribal camp of the White Eagle clan.
The trees in the White Eagle Tribe are much taller than those in other places. They are arranged neatly and staggered, and the treetops are also very neat, like a carefully trimmed artificial forest.
The most eye-catching thing was the towering ancient tree in the center of the woodland. Its trunk was so thick and sturdy that it looked like a solid city wall. Even more exaggerated was its height, like a brown pillar connecting heaven and earth.
Just as Wu Erqi was shocked by the towering ancient trees, more than ten Eagles surrounded him. The Eagle that brought him here talked to other tribesmen for a few words, and the eagles made way for him.
Aiglas took Wu Erqi and flew to the crown of a towering ancient tree, where there was a wide tree hole.
Luminous energy gems are inlaid in many places inside the tree hole, making the tree hole appear very bright. Different gems emit different lights, which also adds a bit of beauty to the tree hole.
At the end of the tree hole, there is a white elf sitting on the throne.
He slowly stood up. He was very tall and his whole body was covered with hard silver-white armor. Even the wings behind him looked like two sharp blades.
Although Aiglas is known as the White Eagle, its feathers are brown. This elf is indeed white, but the sharp aura it exudes makes it look nothing like an eagle. If Wu Erqi were to name it, he should be called the Iron Eagle Dragon!
"I've met the clan leader."
Aiglas said respectfully, and Wu Erqi also nodded slightly.
"I hope you won't mind my presumptuous invitation to be your guest, General. I am the White Eagle, the messenger of God, and the patriarch of the White Eagle Aiglas clan."
The messenger of God, White Eagle, spoke calmly, but the sharpness and arrogance in his voice could not be hidden, or perhaps he did not bother to hide it.
"Excuse me or not, you invited me here, so tell me what you want to do."
Wu Erqi said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Be bold!"
Aiglas scolded.
Wu Erqi frowned and said to the divine messenger Baiying, "I'm going to beat him now, you don't object, do you?"
The divine messenger White Eagle shouted coldly, "Get out!"
An irresistible airflow hit Aiglas and knocked him out.
The divine messenger White Eagle forced a smile and said, "The General is very satisfied."
Wu Erqi nodded in pretended satisfaction.
The divine messenger White Eagle continued, "I asked the general to come here because I want to discuss a cooperation with you."
"Do you want to cooperate with me or with the Obi organization?"
"Haha, you want to cooperate with the general, and you also want to cooperate with the Obi organization behind the general!"
"Tell me."
Wu Erqi seemed not to care, but in his heart he recalled Athena's cautious attitude towards the White Eagle Clan and the Green Bat Clan.
"General, what do you think of the Temple of the Gods?"
"The army of justice, the light of righteousness."
"Haha, hypocrisy, false benevolence and false righteousness, deceiving the world and stealing fame!"
"The clan leader has a lot of opinions about the Temple of the Gods."
"Because they are a bunch of despicable villains! They keep shouting about justice, but behind the scenes they are doing nothing but destroying bridges and backstabbing their allies!"
The messenger White Eagle's voice sounded surprisingly angry, as if he had suffered a great injustice, but to Wu Erqi it sounded like he had a hidden meaning.
"Ahem, Chief White Eagle, you might as well be more clear on some things. If you have any complaints about our Obi organization, you can raise them directly without beating around the bush and making indirect accusations."
The divine messenger White Eagle was slightly startled when he heard this. Realizing he had said something wrong, he quickly said, "I just wanted to say, don't be fooled by the sweet words of those rubbish gods in the Temple of the Gods. They are not good people."
"I'm not a good person either, and neither are we in the Obi organization. Are you good people?"
Wu Erqi asked back.
"We...we are not good people either."
The messenger White Eagle nodded with a distorted expression. He felt that the more he explained, the worse the situation became.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "General, counting on the Pantheon to help you deal with the Hurricane Nebula would definitely be your biggest mistake. They will only destroy the bridge after crossing it... They are unreliable anyway."
"Then can you be trusted? Can the White Eagle Clan help us deal with the Dark Council?"
Through the brief conversation, Wu Erqi realized that he had overestimated the White Eagle Chief. He thought he was an ambitious man with deep scheming. Now it seems that he is a good-for-nothing who can't figure out anything.
As expected, the divine messenger White Eagle said, "Although we cannot stop the Dark Council, General, are you not interested in the Temple of the Gods? The Temple of the Gods has many ancient heritages and has collected countless rare treasures from heaven and earth."
Wu Erqi's face fell. How could God's messenger White Eagle think that the Obi Organization would offend the Dark Council and dare to provoke the Temple of the Gods at the same time?
"General, I'll be honest with you. The White Eagle Clan and the Dark Council have a secret connection, which is why I knew of your reputation so early on."
"General, imagine this: your organization is seemingly locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Dark Council, but suddenly they turn the tables and attack the Temple of the Gods. With our four major tribes providing support, we can attack the center without fear of the Temple of the Gods surviving!"
Looking at the confident God's Messenger White Eagle, Wu Erqi widened his eyes. He didn't expect that this God's Messenger White Eagle was quite rare.
However, this plan sounds perfect, but the reality is very bleak.
Given the current relationship between the Obi Organization and the Dark Council, are they still planning to join forces? It's a blessing that they don't stab each other.
And considering the intelligence of God's messenger White Eagle, Wu Erqi finds it hard to believe that they can do the job of traitor. Just look at Athena's previous hostility towards them. It's probably obvious to everyone that they want to rebel.
The Temple of the Gods has been able to stand in the universe for thousands of years. If it could be taken down with just this little conspiracy, it would have perished long ago.
Moreover, the Temple of the Gods has many allies. Many forces with a hint of "God" have close ties with the Temple of the Gods.
"Chief, why do you want the Temple of the Gods to die so much?"
Wu Erqi asked.
"Because the Temple of the Gods killed my master!"
The messenger White Eagle gritted his teeth and said.
"Who is your master?"
Wu Erqi suppressed his excitement and asked as calmly as possible.
Here they come, someone finally comes to solve the problem he has been unable to figure out.
"My master is Hades, the God of Darkness!"
"Back then, my master made the greatest effort to overthrow Kronos, the original ruler of the Pantheon. But in the end, the credit was taken away by that old Zeus, who made him the new leader of the Pantheon and even sent my master to the underworld. What a despicable bunch of people!"
"The Underworld, isn't that the Underworld Emperor Shura's territory?"
"That's right. Rather than saying that my master promised the underworld to me, it's more like he asked us to go to the front line to help him guard the gate, while he sits back and reaps the benefits!"
"This is really a bit too much. The Dark Emperor Shura is difficult to deal with. He is very difficult to deal with!"
"Of course, my master isn't afraid of the Dark Emperor Shura. It's just that he's been treated so unfairly, and everyone would think it's unfair. We just want an explanation, and we want fairness..."
"But damn Zeus! He actually teamed up with Poseidon to frame my master!"
"Poseidon!"
"Apollo!"
"Athena!"
"Hera!"
“Let’s go!”
"All the gods enshrined in the temples now deserve to die, all deserve to die! All deserve to die!"
"No one can escape! They all deserve to die!"
"Poor master, two fists are no match for four hands. Even if he merged with the four divine messengers and his power was sublimated to the extreme, he was still unable to stop the villain's joint calculations."
When the messenger White Eagle talked about the past, his eyes became wet and he was heartbroken.
Wu Erqi listened with great interest.
Generally speaking, in stories like this, the general framework is correct: Hades and the Pantheon had a falling out and started fighting, and then other gods joined forces to suppress them.
As for why the fight broke out, who was right and who was wrong, who was the hero and who was the bear, it is unknown.
"The clan leader's appearance is unique. Could he be one of the four divine messengers from back then?"
"That's not the case. It was my brother who died in battle alongside the master. After my brother and the other three divine messengers passed away, I was the only one of the four races who successfully evolved."
"Now, the Golden Lion Clan has fled north, and the Purple Dragon Clan has fallen into depravity and joined the ranks of the other dragons. Only my White Eagle Clan and the Green Bat Clan are still struggling to hold on, but under the suppression of the Temple of the Gods, we are also declining year by year."
Wu Erqi thought to himself: If what you said is true, the Temple of the Gods should have wiped you out long ago.
However, Wu Erqi didn't want to pursue the specific grudges between the two parties, or who was right or wrong. What he always wanted was the benefit.
"Alas, I never thought the Temple of the Gods had such a secret. Hades, the God of Darkness, was such a great figure, but in the end he died at the hands of his own brother. How sad and lamentable!"
"But I also know a Hades. I wonder if he's related to the Hades you're talking about. Maybe we just have the same name."
The divine messenger White Eagle was suddenly stunned and asked in shock: "What did you say? You also know a Hades?"
"correct."
Wu Erqi nodded in acknowledgment.
"What does he look like, what abilities does he have, and is there an Aiglas following him?"
The divine messenger White Eagle asked anxiously.
Wu Erqi followed the instructions of the messenger White Eagle and introduced Hades' appearance, elf attributes, and the four great messengers around him one by one.
The pupils of the divine messenger White Eagle widened, and he burst into tears after hearing the last part. He cried and murmured:
"Master Haldir, it's great to hear from you again. The master in heaven will surely be pleased."
That's not necessarily true. Hades might have reunited with his father in heaven.
Wu, the chief culprit, Erqi, gently patted the divine messenger White Eagle on the back and whispered soothingly, "It's all in the past, it's all in the past. In our universe, Hades is extremely powerful, also known as the God of Darkness. He definitely lived up to your master's reputation."
The divine messenger White Eagle cried for a long time before he stopped crying and said, "General Wu, can you tell me about the young master?"
Wu Erqi pursed his lips and had to think about what he could say and what he couldn't say.
"In fact, Lord Hades has been very kind to me in teaching me and clearing up my doubts. If he is willing to acknowledge me, I should call him Master. It is under his guidance and instruction that my elf has finally achieved such great success."
"Let me begin with the story of Lord Hades' early years. Although I didn't know him at that time, his fame had already resounded throughout the universe."
"Legend has it that a long time ago..."
