mount aitna
On the top of the high mountain, the snow never melts all year round, and thick smoke billows from the top. From time to time, it makes a dull sound, which is the sound of gas ejecting.
This is an active volcano that erupts magma from time to time. Looking down through the thick smoke, you can see the red magma churning and bubbles emerging.
At this time, there was a black shadow in the magma, which looked like a giant.
The giant has a hundred snake heads, is covered with feathers and has a pair of wings, spits out snake cores from its mouth, and spits fire from its eyes. Its identity is self-evident, it is Typhon, the king of beasts, and it is also a member of the Titan family.
Typhon fought fiercely with Zeus and was Zeus's sworn enemy. Zeus used thunder and lightning to blast Typhon to his death, and finally suppressed it on Mount Etna.
Years of imprisonment could not extinguish its ambition. It always thought about counterattacking Mount Olympus and pulling the gods off the altar.
It was currently bowing to a small veiled goddess. Compared to it, which was a hundred meters tall, this goddess, which was less than two meters tall, was as small as a bean, but the giant looked respectful and pious.
If they were seen by the banshee in the forest, they would definitely not believe that their father would be so respectful to a woman.
In the eyes of Typhon's children, their father is omnipotent and dares to challenge even the gods.
"Stop saluting, it will cause the mountain to tremble, and the gods will notice it again." The masked woman said.
Typhon doesn't do things secretly, and she has done little things behind her back a few times, but the gods discovered them. This time she came here, she took a risk.
If Typhon hadn't been so eager this time and the cost was high, she wouldn't have come here to meet Typhon at all.
"Tell me, why are you spending so much money to see me? Why is it so important?"
"Great Mother."
Before the giant opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the mysterious woman: "I am not Gaia. If I were her, I wouldn't be able to come to see you easily. She is under the supervision of the gods, especially Zeus."
"No, mother, although I don't know why you are a phantom, I can feel the connection with the origin of blood. No one can cheat." Typhon said.
The mysterious woman did not interrupt or refute, she just remained silent.
"Mother, please help me, I need your help." Typhon said respectfully. It had been suppressed for many years and its power had declined to the extreme. It could only turn to its mother, Gaia, for help.
"Typhon, how can I help you?" the mysterious woman asked. She knew that although Typhon had been suppressed on Mount Etna all year round, its children were scattered all over the place, and many things could be entrusted to its children.
The mysterious woman knew that the previous events, especially the recent Kraken incident in Tenedos in the Aegean Sea, were caused by the children of Typhon.
At this time, Typhon did not ask her children to solve the problem, but asked her for help at a huge cost, which moved her a little. You must know that Gaia is the body of the earth, and the world cannot be separated from her. However, several turmoils are related to Although she still enjoys the honor, the new gods are paying close attention to her and even supervising her.
Due to his rebellion and his relationship with Gaia, Typhon is always under the surveillance of the gods. If he is not careful, the gods may discover clues.
The mysterious woman was very curious as to what kind of things were worth mentioning and attracting attention.
"Mother, I feel the treasure, a treasure that is very important to me. I am now sure that this treasure is in Troy. It has radiated signals several times, allowing me to feel it."
The hot magma kept rolling, and bubbles appeared from time to time. The billowing smoke seemed denser than before. This reflected Typhon's inner excitement at the moment. It continued: "Mother, I can't go out. Please help me." I got it, and I feel that with it, I will be extremely powerful, and I can even help you defeat the gods."
The mysterious lady laughed, obviously finding Typhon's words ridiculous.
"Defeat the gods?"
How can the gods be defeated so easily? A single treasure can defeat them all, and they use Typhon to overthrow them. Gods have already attacked Mount Olympus.
"Typhon, you are not even the weakest god now, and you still dare to say such big words." The mysterious woman didn't care about Typhon's thoughts at all, and poured cold water on her: "Now let alone Dionysus, you are even pitiful. Even Hercules, who was expelled just after climbing the mountain, could defeat you. Do you think you can defeat the gods just by getting the treasure? In that case, would I believe it?"
"Mother, please believe me, I feel it. As long as I get it, I can defeat everything, even Zeus."
Typhon was obviously full of confidence in the unknown treasure and repeatedly begged the mysterious woman to help it obtain it.
Some time ago, Typhon sent banshees to search for treasures in Tenedos in the Aegean Sea. Although they were not found, Pei Ziyun destroyed many of them and lost a powerful siren.
But every time a powerful monster was lost, there was a brief fluctuation. Recently, it appeared twice in Troy, which determined its position. With its declining strength, it was impossible to break through the suppression of the gods and obtain it, so Typhon After much deliberation, I could only turn to its mother for help.
"Okay, since you beg like this, I agree to it. However, to obtain this treasure, you have to sacrifice more descendants."
The mysterious woman said.
"It's easy." Typhon agreed. He didn't have many others, but his descendants were scattered all over the place, so many that he didn't even know how many there were.
Thinking that he would soon be able to obtain the treasure, and then use it to counterattack Mount Olympus, defeat the gods, and defeat Zeus, Typhon felt uncontrollably excited.
The giant black shadow kept swimming in the hot magma, churning the fiery red magma and constantly splashing onto the surrounding rock walls, sparking sparks.
"A god has come." The mysterious lady looked at its excitement and looked at an uninformed pet. She thought it was something, but it turned out to be that treasure.
Typhon, this treasure has no meaning to you now.
It's just that this was fate, and she didn't want to reveal it. She looked around, said suddenly, and quickly disappeared, disappearing all of a sudden, as if she had never appeared.
Typhon also knew that this was a critical period and could not alert others. After being reminded by the mysterious woman, he quickly fell silent.
The hot magma suddenly returned to calm. Occasionally, a few bubbles surfaced, which quickly exploded and disappeared.
The next moment, a young man appeared with a staff wrapped with double snakes in his hands. The small wings behind his ears and at the condyle of his feet flapped rapidly, then slowly relaxed.
Just now Hermes arrived at Mount Aetna from Mount Olympus.
Mount Etna was still the same as before, with black smoke and billowing lava. After careful inspection, no problems were found. He frowned and thought: "I feel something abnormal, is it here?"
But he didn't notice anything wrong around him, but when he was on Mount Olympus, he clearly felt a slight movement on Mount Etna.
Hermes once again carefully inspected the top and bottom of Mount Etna several times, but there was still no trace. Hermes shook his head, feeling that he was making a fuss, and flapped his wings and disappeared into the distance.
Typhon watched Hermes disappear before he wanted to speak. A voice came into his heart: "Shut up!"
This made Typhon's heart skip a beat, knowing that it was his mother who reminded him that the spirit had not gone far yet.
Sure enough, after a while, Hermes appeared on the top of Mount Aitna again, murmuring: "Is there really nothing abnormal?"
Hermes was very disappointed in his heart. He glanced at Typhon who was suppressed on Mount Etna with disgust. He sneered at Typhon and said: "Ignorant and ugly Typhon, if fate hadn't arranged for you to become a necessary historical process, , if it weren’t for your mother Gaia, I would have killed you long ago.”
After saying that, he flapped his wings and disappeared again.
Typhon is now too weak for the gods of Olympus to be ignored. Not to mention himself, any god can suppress it.
Hermes was always paying attention to Typhon because he was worried that Gaia was making moves behind his back, so as soon as he felt a slight movement, he rushed over to check.
But Hermes didn't catch any clues and returned empty-handed.
After a while, the mysterious woman revealed her figure. She glanced around and said to Typhon: "He is really gone this time."
"But you were too reckless just now, and you were almost discovered." The mysterious woman scolded Typhon: "If you were discovered, many things may change."
"Yes, thanks to mother, otherwise we would have been in trouble this time." Typhon replied, respectful to the goddess without any disobedience.
"Okay, you will get this treasure, but it won't be used by you now." The mysterious woman said.
"Is it for future use? It doesn't matter, you can just use my descendants." Typhon said excitedly, but the mysterious woman did not answer. If you look closely, she has disappeared on Mount Aitna.
"Has mother left?" Typhon seemed a bit disappointed, but this was normal. Gaia couldn't stay away from the sight of the gods for a long time. After thinking about it, his body also sank into the magma. Mount Etna suddenly returned to normal, with thick smoke billowing from it. , the magma inside keeps rolling.
The mysterious woman left Mount Etna and did not go far. She came to high altitude, looked down at Typhon, and murmured: "Typhon, I am indeed not Gaia, at least not the one she is now."
"This treasure will be obtained for you, but it will not be used in the future. It is just a historical process that you must go through, and there are not many possibilities."
As she said that, she looked at Troy, and then said to herself: "I am more interested in Prince Troy Paris than you. He has many secrets in him that are fascinating."
"The most important thing is, Typhon, he has a better future than you."
"He's far more useful to me than you are."
After saying that, she pondered for a moment, as if she was daydreaming, no longer looking closely at Typhon who was suppressed on Mount Etna, her eyes revealed a firm gaze, full of hope for the future.
After a while, the mysterious woman gradually disappeared, leaving a sigh.
