A few tens of miles north of Macedonia, in the steep mountains, above the cliffs, there is a relatively flat open land. There is almost no grass in the open space in the forest, only a strangely shaped boulder. The battlefield where Apollo challenged Amon to a duel is here, and Medanzo also came here with the two gods.
Along the way, Medanzuo murmured in his heart. He didn't think that Apollo could defeat Amon, but he was also thinking about how much Amon would have to pay for defeating Apollo. It can be seen from Apollo's aura that this god is powerful, confident, and absolutely proud.
Self-confidence is also a kind of capital, backed by powerful forces. Among the twelve main gods of the Olympus pantheon today, Apollo's combat power is second only to Zeus, and he also made the most contributions in the battle of the gods back then. In terms of the achievements of the gods, Apollo is worse than Amon, similar to the peak of the Creator.
The Kingdom of Olympus is different from the kingdoms of other gods, and the achievements of the gods are also slightly different. Gods like Apollo can also attach to the kingdom of heaven to create their own world, and this world is unfolding. This is not because Apollo's achievement is higher, but because Zeus, the lord of the heaven, has a higher realm.
But such a "creator world" will not change the appearance of the kingdom of heaven, nor will it be touched by other gods, it is just an independent landscape in the kingdom of Olympus. In the Kingdom of Angels of Amon, there are also angels who have the achievements of the Creator. For example, Ea, the God of Wisdom in the original Anunah Enlightenment system, also had his own Creator World.
After Amon merged with the kingdom of Anuna, Ea became an archangel, and his creator world was completely integrated with the kingdom of heaven. This is related to the oath made by the angels to join the kingdom of heaven, and it also shows higher achievement.
In terms of realm, Apollo is already equivalent to the pinnacle of the Creator, and he is a god known for his powerful combat power. His time to become a god is much longer than that of Amon, and he has more abundant accumulation. If it is purely a competition of mana, Ah Meng may not be above him. Apollo promised Amon to fight as a human warrior, which was actually more beneficial to him.
If it is in the eternity of immortality, Amon may have more mysterious means, even if the magic power is not as good, he can also use other methods to maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses. But in the human world, the means of the gods will be limited, because this is not the world they created.
This battle was even more difficult for Amon, so Apollo seemed confident. Medanzo looked at Apollo, and said to himself in his heart: "Fight like a samurai? If you compare your fists, you are looking for the wrong person! Do you think you are a warrior like Enkidu who passed the test and became a god?" ? Don't fight with Amon, it will scare you when you do it!"
While thinking this way, Medan Zuo quietly asked Amon: "You have given all the powerful weapons to the disciples, do you need to use the key of fate?"
Amon smiled and said: "No need, when I left Salem City, I brought the most handy thing with me. When you do it later, you will hold the key of fate and stand by the side to prevent the outside world from being disturbed. If someone tries to If you plan to plot, you should warn the police in time."
Mei Danzuo: "No one dares to hide and plot. The eyes of all the gods are watching, but I will also be careful."
When they came to the duel place, the two gods stood a hundred feet apart. The place was indeed dangerous, there was only the sound of the wind on the high cliff, and a strange boulder stood between the two, and there was no trace of flying birds. Holding the key of fate, Mei Danzuo retreated to the edge of the forest outside the clearing.
Apollo's white robe fluttered in the wind, and he stretched out his hand to straighten the clothes on his shoulders, with a very chic posture. Following his movements, the howling wind suddenly stopped, and there was silence on the cliff. He looked up at Amon and said, "Are you ready? You can make a move."
All fools know that whoever strikes first in a direct confrontation will have the upper hand. Apollo showed his strong self-confidence and let Amon strike first. Amon smiled and shook his head: "Apollo, you made a mistake. You challenged me instead of me. If you don't want to do something, just admit defeat!"
A trace of anger appeared on Apollo's handsome face. He picked up the harp and stretched out his hand, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", and a murderous aura swept over him. The strange rocks on the clearing twisted and squirmed under the light and shadow, but they did not break into pieces, but softened and fell silently, and disappeared like a stream of water.
Medanzuo outside the open space was taken aback, no wonder Apollo was so aggressive, the shot was really amazing! The magic power inspired by plucking the strings is accompanied by the most brilliant magic in the world. It is still an elemental magic, and it does not surpass the means that magicians in the world can use, but it is a synthesis of all elemental magic, and can control all forces in the environment.
If the person facing the sound of the zither is Medanzo, he can only wave the key of fate to protect his body, and everything around him will be crushed by Apollo, and there is no room for him to use magic spells and fight back. The strange rocks in the open space were swept away by the rippling sound waves, and seemed to be smoothed instantly by an invisible giant hand, and the impact of the sound of the piano had come to Amon.
There was one last boulder in front of Amon, with a flat top, about waist high, like a table or an anvil. Amon stretched out a hand and pressed it on the stone surface. The boulder seemed to be integrated with his body and spirit, and the rippling impact dissipated here, and Amon was safe and sound.
The first blow was resolved silently, Apollo narrowed his eyes, and kept plucking the strings with his fingers, attacking Amon one after another, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano. The sound of the strings is not dense, with a beautiful melody. Apollo's posture is very elegant, but the attacks in his hands are stronger than waves.
Mei Danzuo was secretly shocked as he watched from the sidelines. Apollo took the initiative as soon as he made a move. He seemed to be playing the piano in a leisurely manner, but he had blocked all the counterattack routes of Amon. In Amon's situation, he used his mana to resist, and he couldn't even fight back if he didn't break the sound of the piano. This is the most detrimental to Amon. Although Apollo is conceited, he also knows how to deal with Amon.
Medan Zuo was a little anxious. The duel between Amon and Apollo should not be standing still and simply resisting with mana. After all, Amon had only been a god for a short time, and this was his weakest link. Even if his powerful magic power lasts long and is not inferior to Apollo, but Apollo uses the magical harp to deal with the unarmed Amon. If Amon can persist until the end, the result will be a lose-lose!
Just when Mei Danzuo was frowning, Amon also moved, his movement was too unexpected. With a grasp of the god's left hand, he pulled out an oval-shaped pebble out of thin air, which was the core mined from the god's stone mine. With a wave of his right hand, he pulled out a sledgehammer.
This hammer is not a magical weapon, but a mining hammer used by miners in Duke Town since ancient times. The hammer head forged from horse leather steel is slightly rough, but hard and thick. The wooden handle is very resilient. Faint golden light. This mining hammer was taken away by Amon when he left Salem, and he also processed it himself in the newly built small courtyard of his own house.
Both the mine hammer and the mine core were placed in a space instrument, and they were taken out at this time. Mei Danzuo knew the origin of the mine hammer, but he didn't know when Amon brought those mine cores with him? Amon put the ore core on the boulder and knocked it down with a hammer. He had done this action countless times when he was a teenager, and he was already extremely skilled, but it was done without interference at this moment, which also showed his powerful mana.
Under the shroud of Apollo's piano sound, everything around is in chaos, and all kinds of elements seem to be broken and fused, and can change arbitrarily with Apollo's piano sound. As long as Amon shows a flaw, Apollo can control various attacks as he wants. In this battlefield, the only ones that remained intact and unaffected were Amon and the boulder in front of him.
When the mining hammer fell, there was only a "ding" sound, which was not loud but echoed with a small buzzing echo for a long time, penetrating through the envelope of Apollo's piano sound. The heavy hammer was like a light feather in Amon's hands, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ore core, which was harder than pig iron. The cracks staggered and extended, becoming dense, and then turned into off-white powder and cascaded down.
The ore core shattered into powder and scattered around, cascading down from the boulder, and then disappeared in the storm of music, leaving only a colorless and transparent divine stone on the boulder.
The narrowed eyes of Apollo in the distance suddenly opened, and a trace of sullen expression appeared on his face. The blow that Amon swung the mine hammer hit just after he waved the strings, the sound was not loud but very penetrating, disturbing the beauty of the rhythm of the piano sound. What does Amon want to do? Does Apollo play his harp, and Amon open his mine? I have never seen anyone who can duel like this, and it is impossible for a samurai in the world to do this!
However, Amon ignored Apollo's reaction, unhurriedly took out another mine core, swung the mine hammer and knocked it down again. The broken pieces fell and were involved in the storm of piano sound, and there was another divine stone on the stone platform in front of Amon. Don't say that Apollo was surprised, even Medanzo opened his mouth wide open for a long time before he could react—a duel between gods, how can you play like this
Apollo realized that Amon was going to use the sound of percussion to destroy the rhythm of his piano sound, and then he closed his eyes, ignored what Amon was doing, and still plucked the strings according to his own tune without interference He played a beautiful melody, but it was mixed with fierce killing intent attacks. As long as Amon's protective mana is broken, he will win. The last stone in the open space will be crushed no matter what!
The sound of the piano was melodious, like the most beautiful piece of music in the world, and the rhythm of Apollo's plucking changed. Between two syllables, it was impossible for Amon to swing the hammer calmly every time.
This funny-looking but dangerous "duel" went on for a while, and Apollo suddenly realized that Amon didn't deliberately hit with a mine hammer to break his rhythm, it was just a coincidence. Looking at Amon's appearance, he didn't care what Apollo was playing at all, he just mined the god stone there and followed his own rhythm.
One hammer after another hammered down, one after another divine stone was mined out, Amon was like the most outstanding and tireless miner in the world, he had already mined hundreds of divine stones, filling the boulders in front of him. With a flick of his sleeve, he put away these sacred stones, took out the mine core and continued to knock.
The skills of the miners in Duke Town are very peculiar, including both physical and divine skills. In other parts of the mainland, it is generally the work of low-level magicians to extract the sacred stone from the mine core. Apollo is also considered a master today. A vision. But he was very baffled. Amon cast spells like this to fight against his zither attack, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the zither attack. Moreover, seeing Amon's continuous movements of taking out the ore cores, what is the spirit in this god? How many mine cores have you bought, and when do you want to hit them
Apollo was very puzzled, there was someone more impatient than him, only to hear Medanzuo finally ask: "Amon, where did you get so many ore cores?" Don't call yourself God Amon when there are other people present in Pease God's Domain, Mei Danzuo remembers it very clearly.
Amon replied unhurriedly: "A while ago, I asked Alexander to help me collect a batch of ore cores, and I will take out the sacred stone. But I am not doing it for nothing, this is a job." For work, the Kingdom of Macedon will pay me one gold coin for every sacred stone I take out and give it to him. If I am not good at learning and damage the mine core, I will pay thirty silver coins for each mine core.”
Amon was telling the truth. He had indeed approached Alexander a while ago and asked the prince to do such a "little favor". The remuneration he negotiated was also very fair. Alexander didn't dare to neglect, and treated it as a major national event, and sent people to collect ore cores and hand them over to Amon, who put them all in the space magic weapon that he carried with him.
Mei Danzuo was startled when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up, realizing something, and asked with a smile: "Amon, do you want to earn some money?"
Amon nodded honestly and replied: "Yes, we should also earn some money. I have lived in the Kingdom of Macedonia for more than a year, and I haven't paid rent or food. Although Mr. Aristotle doesn't care, But how dare we always eat and live for nothing?"
Mei Danzuo also nodded and said: "Yes, I was also negligent. Ordinary people in the world should behave like this. Being a guest has its own rules. How can there be a guest who stays for such a long time? Can't use up the good intentions of the master and take other people's Treat yourself as a blessing to be polite, and you should still pay for the rent and meals."
Mei Danzuo has followed Amon for the longest time, and knows the temper of this god very well. At this time, he has already realized what Amon wants to do, and deliberately strikes up a conversation along the line, and the chat is quite lively. It doesn't matter what they said, but it almost made Apollo's nose crooked!
On the duel arena, Apollo took out his harp and plucked the strings to play. The beautiful melody and beautiful music were full of surging mana and infinite murderous intent. How elegant his posture is, with an incomparably powerful bearing, Amon can't even look enough in front of him! But Amon's response made Apollo almost vomit blood. It turned out that the god didn't take the duel seriously at all, but mined mine cores to make money there.
Amon was chatting while working, and the chatting did not delay work. He didn't pay attention to Apollo at all, and even thought that the god who was attacking did not exist at all! No matter how elegant Apollo's posture is, how beautiful his piano sound is, and how powerful his attack is, it seems to have become meaningless at this moment. Amon, who was "dueling" with him, didn't even look at him. This god has completely become a Clowns out there entertaining themselves.
In fact, judging from the battle scene between the two gods, Apollo took the lead and completely gained the upper hand, while Amon was only passively resisting. Just fight like this to the end, no matter what the result of the victory or defeat, as long as Amon can't break the sound of Apollo's piano, both sides will pay a huge price. But Amon was not "serious" at all, and was mining the god stone while chatting.
Do gods need to make money? Even if Amon wanted to earn some room and board as a mortal, there was no need at this time, right? Apollo is very powerful, so he is very confident, and because he is very confident, he is proud. Such a proud god is not afraid of powerful challenges, and the most unbearable thing is precisely this humiliation of contempt!
If it is not for the mining of sacred stones, miners are one of the most humble jobs, usually performed by whipped slaves. And the sound of Apollo's piano is so elegant and wonderful, even the emperors in the world can hardly hear it. How could Amon face his challenge like this? It's just too shameless and too bad! This attitude and behavior hit Apollo's arrogant weakness.
Apollo got angry, and the consequences were serious! His piano sound suddenly became urgent, no longer so soothing and graceful, like thousands of golden snakes dancing wildly on the strings. The pure white marble-like fingers plucked the strings, scattering dazzling rays of light. These rays of light condensed great mana that penetrated time and space and shot at Amon, but were scattered in front of the stone platform.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of Amon, which happened to cover the stone platform where he worked. But the sound of Apollo's piano also contains a power that penetrates the soul, which cannot be blocked by any tangible magic, and must be resisted with a stronger soul. At this time, the mined sacred stone was filled with the surface of the boulder again. Amon waved his sleeves and put it away, took out another ore core and smashed it down with a hammer.
There was a muffled sound of "poof", the mine core was broken into several pieces, and no god stone appeared. Amon, the lord of the kingdom of heaven, who is one of the gods with the highest realm in today's Shu Continent, used his most skillful skills since he was a child, and accidentally damaged the mine core! This is simply unimaginable, but under Apollo's powerful attack, Amon also failed to control the mine hammer this time.
At this moment, it can be seen that Apollo has profound magic power and mysterious means, and he is definitely a formidable enemy that Amon has never encountered before. Even Mei Danzuo couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Amon let out a long sigh, stopped his movements and looked up at Apollo and said, "You are really good, you made me pay thirty silver coins!"
Apollo's fingers trembled, and he almost plucked the strings of the divine instrument harp. Such an earth-shattering method that all the gods would admire was only worth 30 silver coins in Amon's mouth! He finally couldn't help but shouted: "Amon, no matter whether you win or lose in a duel between warriors, you must respect your opponent. How can you be so rude?"
Amon didn't answer, and took out another mine core to continue knocking. Medanzuo outside the battlefield took over the conversation at the right time and shouted: "Apollo, you are so rude! I don't know what you used to do, maybe a Players, playing the qin is really good. And Amon has been a miner since he was a child, and mining the god stone is a family tradition, and his miner skills are no worse than your qin skills!"
