Stray Chapter 23: Taltaros! And…the deepest greenhouse garden

Tartaros.

Synonymous with "hell" in Greek mythology, it is surrounded by three dark curtains and three copper walls. The dark curtain is pure original darkness, representing the color of chaos outside the orderly universe, which can block all prying eyes and isolate the normal time and space. outside all laws and truths.

The copper wall is a cosmic wall built by the great power of the Greek gods. Like a silent giant stretching his arms, the walls are completely beyond the limit of the universe. It became a huge wall after another materialized.

The gravitational force, electromagnetic wave, magnetic field, etc. released by such a cosmic wall all naturally reach an incredible expansion value.

Such a terrifying mass makes any place on the wall even more terrifying than a supermassive black hole.

As a result, whether it's to sneak into hell, or to escape from it, it's a terrifying blockade

Maybe it can't stop the true **** from fighting, and it can't stop the titans from fighting out, but at least it can delay time and give Olympus leeway to detect and react.

And it just can't stop the real superiors, as for the existence under the true God...

Sorry, if anything is so self-defeating, it will only be sucked into the wall when it is close to the boundary of hell, and eventually become part of the wall itself.

Whether it is a living individual, a stellar galaxy, a fleet of a civilized world, or the territory of the entire interstellar empire, whether it is a deliberate collision, or an unintentional approach to study it, the end is the same.

In fact, over the long time scales in the history of the Greek world, this has happened innumerably many times.

Especially in those remote frontier universes, in countless worlds where the gods don't want to take a second look and have no time to pay attention, in the mysterious eternity that is so long that even death itself disappears, everything is always It's possible, even if the odds are slim.

Naturally, there are countless powerful beings, or intelligent civilizations rising one by one. They are either powerful enough to travel the universe physically and observe black holes up close; or gather the light of collective wisdom, ignite the fire of civilization, and establish A huge interstellar empire, ruling the boundless galaxy.

In the process of their continuous exploration and expansion, if no one stops them, then anything is possible.

The final result is that a large part of the powerful beings that can traverse the sea of ​​​​stars, or the interstellar empires that dominate the galaxy, are not dying, or ushering in a normal end, but in a catastrophe. Hell, part of the cosmic wall that seals the abyss.

When Xia Ran passed through the blockade of the three copper walls, she did see too many strange things inlaid on the walls.

The limbs of a huge, plane-like monster...

There are also countless ruins of asteroid-like fleets assembled...

They are like the composition of the wall itself, the relief art on the wall itself, every inch is poured with copper juice, and it is forever frozen in the last moment of life, achieved in the most painful way for eternity.

This made him feel embarrassed. He was full of sympathy and compassion. Then... he took out the camera and took several photos from different angles. Become a thorn in the eyes of countless people.

People like Aleister, Lola, etc., dream of destroying it...

It's a pity that it can't be done, just like they can't delete the ghost and animal videos circulating on the Internet even if they use all their means.

Looking at the photos taken, Xia Ran nodded, put away her things, and moved on.

Three layers of dark curtains and three copper walls separate the **** world and the mortal world. The distance between them is infinite, but for him who has the hand of Hades, this is not a problem at all, and he can easily shuttle. past.

Dark curtain, copper wall...

For him, it seems that it doesn't exist. Relying on Hades' divine aura to disguise confusion, he is like entering no one's realm, easily passing through many levels and truly entering the abyss and hell.

Whether it's a Hydra with fifty heads, each of which is bigger than a star, or a third-generation **** so powerful that even the third-generation gods on Mount Olympus have to shy away from a hundred arms The giant, guarding the border of hell, could not find his trace.

In this way, Xia Ran entered the interior of Tartarus directly.

Perhaps for many people, **** should be a world full of brimstone and an unquenchable flame.

Actually this is not the case. The Hell of Greek mythology is only used to exile sinners and suppress the lower world of the godless god, and it is not a single world. It also has a complex multi-dimensional structure of time and space, like thousands of millions Thousands of dark cosmic collections stacked together.

The dead world...

A world without temperature...

Countless wrecks and ruins piled up together...

There are only voids and echoes in the darkness. This is the **** and underworld of the Greek world. It is infinite and vast, and it is also infinitely dark and cold. The Titans who were defeated in the battle of the gods and the Titans were imprisoned here, as was Cronus, the father of Zeus.

After a long time of evolution, this place is no longer a place to detain Titans. The guilty and the wicked will be thrown here to be imprisoned. Zeus threatened to throw the Protoss against his will into Tarta. Ross, let him never see the divine light of the holy mountain again.

The uninvited guest looked at the completely dark world in front of him with interest. After a while, he retracted his gaze. He opened his arms and proudly spoke to the dark universe in front of him:

"Speak to me, Tartarus."

The sound is not big, but once it spreads, it resounds everywhere in the dark and deep space. The distance of hundreds of millions of light-years cannot stop this sound that subverts the rules of physics for granted. It is almost in the entire universe. Simultaneously sounded within the dimension.

The grammar of this **** is naturally a spirit of words with great power!

The void seemed to be trembling slightly under the grand oracle entrustment, as if the sound of thunder was rumbling.

“…”

“…”

Death.

Still still, there was no response to the god's words.

But Xia Ran is not discouraged, nor does he feel embarrassed. He just said lightly: "Tartaros, are you going to continue like this? It's okay if you don't want to talk to me, but you want to regain all the opportunity. Now, think about it!"

He doesn't care much either. If he doesn't want to say it, don't say it. Let's see who is in a hurry.

Then the immortals with wide robes and wide sleeves no longer stayed, but continued to move forward, step by step toward the deepest part of the **** where the titans were imprisoned.

His behavior just now is not meaningless. Tartarus is not only a symbol of hell, representing the time and space dimension of the underworld, but also the magnificent body of Tartarus, the **** of **** in the Greek world.

This **** was born after Gaia and can be said to be the creator of the underworld and the body of the abyss. His form of existence is itself an invisible abyss, located at the bottom of the world... This dark dimension that gathers endless dead worlds is the body of Tartaros.

Only now, in the power system of Olympus, the primordial **** can't get rid of his awkward position, and has gradually retreated into the background.

Just like Uranus, the first **** king and **** of the sky, it was fixed as a cosmic void concept that symbolized the "sky" of the Greek world;

The goddess of the earth and the primordial **** Gaia are the same as a collection of countless material worlds, crystal walls, planes, and planets representing the "earth"

The former **** of hell, Tartarus, now only serves as the **** dimension and the abyss of the Greek world. It exists peacefully as a part of the world, and there are few things based on its own subjective will. signs of activity.

The reason is also the same, that is, the current Greek world cannot accommodate them, especially these ancient gods who belong to the remnants of the previous dynasty, often have various serious criminal records.

Only speaking of Tartarus, the **** of hell, his biggest mistake was that he once combined with Gaia to give birth to an extremely vicious Titan.

It was Typhon, who was powerful enough to fight Zeus and nearly overthrown the Olympian gods by himself.

It is a Titan with the head of a hundred dragons, a dark tongue, and a fire-breathing purpose. Its body is as tall as the universe, its shoulders can reach the sky and the Milky Way, and its two arms can embrace the whole world. It is covered with feathers and grows side by side. With a pair of wings, a celestial planet is just a tiny bit of dust.

This titan is Zeus' mortal enemy.

When Typhon was at its most ferocious, he stretched out the snake's hair in the Greek world, raised his huge arm and swung down the infinitely powerful divine thunder, shattering most of the heavens and causing chaos. Those symbols of divine power Divinity and the constellations of fixed time legends were dislocated and fell into the sea.

Apollo's chariot was shot down by his divine thunder, and Artemis fought against it, but nearly lost his life at the hands of this ferocious giant. He also rushed into the sea and dragged Poseidon's palace out of the sea...

According to the biblical record, Leviathan, who was created on the sixth day of creation, when cruising into the deep sea of ​​the Greek world, could only retreat and flee in a panic...

He even threatened to marry Hera as his wife, demote the gods as slaves, liberate the giants in the abyss, reintegrate the heaven and the earth, and completely return to chaos...

It can be said that the terrible turmoil at that time was not inferior to any great battle of gods in the history of the Greek world, which directly shook the rule of the Olympians, except for Zeus and Athena at the time. In addition to fighting, the other gods were forced to go to the Egyptian world.

After seeing all the secrets and unknowables in the Greek world, Xia Ran naturally knew very well what that history was all about.

And the most direct victim didn't believe that everything was a coincidence. Afterwards, he liquidated angrily. He completely lost patience with those abominable first and second generation gods. This is also the God of Olympus. The beginning of a complete and comprehensive replacement of the authority of the Primal God and Titan God.

So, since everyone has come to call on the titans to prepare to make trouble again, there is no reason to let the powerful help of Tartarus be spared.

Anyway, the story has been brought to the fore, whether or not to participate, and how to share the cake, these are Tartaros' own problems.

After Xia Ran left, the dark dimension seemed to be as smooth as ever, and seemed to have undergone some invisible changes.

There is an ancient will slowly reviving in a slight vibration, huge, deep... and immortal.

…………

The yin and yang are intertwined at the feet of the immortal in white, and the golden bridge on the other side penetrates time and space. In the blink of an eye, he has traveled through countless icy dead worlds. He saw countless ruins and wreckage along the way. The icy tombstone of a civilization.

They are born in this dark dimension, and their fate is undoubtedly hopeless. The divinity of the **** of **** determines that his body has only eternal darkness and death. In it, even the world itself will quickly usher in decay. , there is no way out of life.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, Xia Ran is going to the deepest part of **** now.

There is obviously the deepest part of this abyss, but it is not the darker and colder silence, but is uncharacteristically thriving, just like this, what appears in the eyes of the Taoist is a mighty party, as many as stars" Great World"!

The endless universe is like a biome, clustered together to form a complete system.

They don't seem to be affected by the erosion of the dark dimension they are in, and they are still developing vigorously. Every universe is in its prime, the stars are bright, the nebula is magnificent, and the infinite galaxy is in the billions of years. Rotating the cantilever, burning quietly.

Each one is a universe full of enthusiasm and power, with infinite brilliance, as if all the stars are doing their best to release light and heat, illuminating space and time, and even darkness does not exist, let alone completely plunged into darkness and Cold inside.

And the life forms that should be a rare miracle in the universe have also blossomed and flourished in many regions, and have evolved into various civilizations.

"The Giant's Garden? Is this some new fairy tale?"

The Taoist man in white raised his eyebrows, and then laughed. It seemed that the group of Titans were also tortured enough during their long years of imprisonment.

The immortal and immortal second-generation gods can only face the cold and dead silence of the dark dimension forever. Maybe at the beginning, they can wait patiently and slowly. But as countless epochs passed, their wisdom was able to measure time correctly, and this was the most unbearable suffering.

In such a situation, it is natural to find something to do.

The result is that in the deepest depths of the abyss, there is a thriving scene, where bored titans have nurtured universe after universe, allowing them to re-emerge and flourish, protecting them from the erosion of the dark dimension outside .

Giants' greenhouse gardens, or sandbox games...

That's probably what happened.

He converged his thoughts and looked at one of the worlds. Each world is the same, but its state is also different, and a relatively large war is taking place in one of the universes. Compared with other peaceful worlds In other words, Xia Ran felt that those Titans should be paying attention there.

It's very simple, they are indeed the creators and protectors of these universes and life civilizations, but not out of any noble virtues and obligations, but purely for the sake of creating fun for themselves and being able to spend a long time. A product of life's pastimes to pass the boring time.

Of course, this is nothing to blame. Whether it is a **** or a creature, the first starting point for creating anything is to serve oneself better.

There is nothing wrong with this, and Xia Ran has no intention of commenting. He just takes it for granted that the Titans must be paying attention to the universe where the war is taking place, and it would be more convenient to spread the word there.

……

……

Countless spaceships roar silently in the vacuum, laser arrays, space torpedoes, ion cannons, nanostorms...

All kinds of killing methods emerge in an endless stream. The asteroid belt loses a large amount of area every moment and is completely smashed. Almost every second, expensive space battleships are beaten into scrap iron, in the void Gorgeous fireworks bloom.

Silent annihilation.

In this star field, the warring parties on the tragic battlefield are obviously the same species. They have carapaces and arthropods, and their lower bodies are as hideous as scorpions. They seem to have evolved a highly intelligent and strange civilization race.

I just don't know why they split the civil war. At this moment, they are fighting each other and fighting each other.

"Crazy! Crazy!"

"Shred them!"

"A new era is coming!"

In the silence, there is only the exchange of pheromones, without any sound.

It's just that the killing and destruction are in silence, spreading and expanding silently, devouring one ship after another, taking away the lives of more Zerg daughters.

In the outer space, one after another stared at the battlefield calmly, as always, through such trivial pastimes, they were resolving the boredom caused by the empty life, until they suddenly felt an unfamiliar and tyrannical breath. Appear.
