A group of winter gods were sitting in every corner and on the dining table with their heads downcast.
Being defeated by humans is a great shame for the gods.
And being captured alive by humans... is the greatest shame!
And in this depressing atmosphere, only one person was smiling.
"Oh, everyone is here."
"It's so lively."
"Come on, come on, sit down."
A middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the kitchen with eager eyes, greeted each winter god, and shook hands.
He seemed very happy to have so many gods accompanying him.
Hannibal was ecstatic.
The God of Winter was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this prison was unusual.
This prison is more like a gorgeous restaurant than a prison.
There is even a separate kitchen, which can be seen through the half-open door. Cold knives are neatly placed in the kitchen, and there is even a phonograph playing music in the corner.
The gentle middle-aged man said hello and put on his apron.
"Are you..." Chione frowned and looked at the man, "The chef that humans prepare for us?"
Do humans treat prisoners so well?
"No, no, no, I'm a prisoner too." The man shook his head.
The eyes of Chione and all the winter gods changed. They looked at this elegant middle-aged man and frowned slightly: "Are you...a god?"
"No, I am a god." The man chuckled.
Chione frowned: "Human gods... you should be among their group, why are you locked up here?"
The middle-aged man in a suit smiled and said, "Because I like cooking."
"Huh?" Chione's eyes were stunned.
The other gods of winter also frowned.
Cook?
Is cooking being locked up here? What's the situation?
But no matter what, now they and this god-like being are both prisoners!
"You must know this place, why don't we unite and find a way to escape together." Chione suddenly said.
However.
The middle-aged man in a suit shook his head: "Those who can't escape are made of forbidden magic stones."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many winter gods suddenly changed!
"Forbidden Demon Stone?"
"Humans use forbidden magic stones to build prisons?"
"This is coming to us! Damn it, this is a prison built by humans for gods!"
"They planned to capture us alive from the beginning... No wonder they didn't kill us before!"
Chione also had despairing eyes, she knew what the Forbidden Demon Stone meant!
"And even if I can escape, I won't go out." The middle-aged man in a suit said with a smile: "I suddenly realized... he was right."
"My favorite thing is probably the gods."
"I should have thought... I should stay with the gods."
He looked at these gods with fiery eyes!
Gods are the most advanced ingredients!
What that Shura said was indeed right, that glorious body, that nobility above all else!
This is the ingredient that can elevate you to the top of the food chain!
Chione frowned slightly, looking at the god who said he liked gods, and wondered: "What do you mean?"
"It's okay, I mean, since we are all locked up here, I should cook a meal for you." The deep eyes of the middle-aged man in the suit looked at each winter god. When he saw Chionena transformed into
When he was sculpting the body in ice, his eyes were a little disappointed, as if he saw a chef whose top-quality ingredients were being wasted.
His eyes shifted to these winter gods, and he walked forward and shook hands with each of them.
"Hello, hello! Well, your palms are very strong."
"Well, your meat is nice and soft...hehe, I mean your hands are very soft."
"I like your fingers very much."
Hannibal smiled to himself and commented on the quality of the meat from a professional perspective. His eyes kept scanning the gods, and suitable recipes appeared in his mind.
The gods of winter were confused by this inexplicable enthusiasm. For some reason, this man was not only not afraid of these gods, but the enthusiasm in his eyes seemed to want to eat them.
Moreover, he was saying some weird words, and his nose was twitching as if he was smelling something...
"What are you smelling?" The God of Winter frowned.
Hannibal smiled: "Nothing, I like your smell very much."
Hannibal shook hands in a circle, and finally his eyes rested on a young winter god. This was the winter god he selected with the best meat.
It's a pity that the body of the Lord God of Winter turned into an ice sculpture.
Otherwise, that is the best ingredient... Hannibal felt a little regretful for a moment.
"Okay, you have come a long way, you must be hungry."
"Don't worry, I know how to cook. I will cook with all my heart." Hannibal turned around and opened the drawer, which was filled with dense recipes.
In the elegant music, Hannibal is like an artist, caressing the recipes with his fingers, recalling the texture of the meat he felt when shaking hands before, like a craftsman who strives for excellence and makes perfect use of materials.
"Well, the God of Winter...the meat temperature is slightly lower, rich in fat, and soft..."
"It's suitable for ice crystal sashimi and pan-fried food. Well, let's make an ice-cold bone soup to match the feeling of winter."
"It's decided, iced thigh sashimi with plum blossom jam, pan-fried winter short ribs with chilled Bordeaux red wine, carrot bone soup with ice cubes. Highlight the taste of winter."
He slowly picked out a few carefully written recipes from the drawer, took out a table knife, looked at the God of Winter, and said with a gentle smile: "Please come over and help me clean up the ingredients."
Chione frowned slightly.
Although this guy is a human being who has become a god.
But he was also imprisoned here.
And he also showed rare kindness.
You should try to join forces with it.
"He is a very good man." Chione said to the God of Winter, "Go ahead."
The God of Winter nodded and stepped forward: "Do you need to cut vegetables or..."
"Wash clean first." Hannibal said softly.
The God of Winter stretched out his hand to help wash the vegetables, but saw Hannibal holding his hand and smiling softly: "I mean, you go to the bathroom and take a shower first."
"Ah?" The God of Winter was stunned. He had never heard of taking a shower before cooking.
Hannibal explained: "Cleaning it thoroughly is the greatest respect for the ingredients."
"Okay." The God of Winter nodded without knowing why, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Looking at the clean God of Winter and the white and red meat, Hannibal nodded happily: "Okay, come to the kitchen and help me cook."
"Out of gratitude, I will create a special dish for you."
"You will be the star of the party."
"The name of this banquet is called 'Welcome the Winter'."
Amidst the elegant music, Hannibal closed the kitchen door, the sound of chopping vegetables was clear and sweet, and the gurgling soup pot floated towards him.
The fragrance wafts.
The gods of winter, who were still in humiliation, actually began to swallow their saliva. They had never smelled such a fragrant smell!
They can't wait!
"Isn't it done yet?" The God of Winter actually urged him.
It's so fragrant, not even the gourmet temple can make such a wonderful taste!
Although the key now is how to escape from prison, the previous battle was too difficult and everyone was severely exhausted.
Especially after his divine power was suppressed, he felt even more hungry.
In the kitchen, Hannibal said excitedly: "Right away, right now, I'm about to process the most critical ingredients..."
But right now.
"boom!"
The prison door was suddenly opened.
Lin Fan walked in quickly and said to Chione, "Chione, we should have a talk now."
"Okay," Chione nodded, but then glanced at the kitchen: "Can you let me finish this meal? I want to be a full man."
Chione knew Lin Fan's purpose.
She would rather choose death.
"Okay...wait a minute," Lin Fan glanced at the closed, noisy kitchen and sniffed, "What does it smell like?"
"The god you locked up is cooking." Chione said lightly: "He is different from you, he is very warm and kind..."
"What a fool!"
Lin Fan suddenly broke into a cold sweat and kicked open the closed kitchen door!
I could see the thick soup in the iron pot sizzling, and the aroma was overflowing.
On the chopping board, a tied-up God of Winter widened his eyes in fear, whining for help, but was drowned out by the sound of music.
Hannibal's eyes were excited and he was holding a sharp knife with a bright smile!
"Hannibal! Stop!" Lin Fan shouted loudly.
Chione also looked in disbelief: "You..."
Hannibal glanced at Lin Fan, the excitement in his eyes gradually dissipated, and begged: "Just one, just one... I can taste him right away."
"I said, stop!" Lin Fan repeated.
Hannibal sighed and silently put down the knife.
"Don't worry, there will be. You will have countless gods... But not now, they are our own people." Lin Fan patted Hannibal on the shoulder, "When I send you to the world of gods, there will be countless gods."
The gods are waiting for you, the chef."
"Okay." Hannibal sighed and let go of the winter god's rope.
Lin Fan turned around and introduced to the gods of winter: "Introducing the ogre, Hannibal."
Hannibal suddenly interrupted: "No, please call me God Eater. I have a higher goal and a nobler prey."
A stern smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he no longer pretended. The greedy look in his eyes was like a predatory beast looking at these gods, and the sharp knife in his hand was like the fangs of the beast!
No respect, no fear.
Only the excitement and greed when facing the ingredients!
God Eater, Hannibal!
These winter gods have never heard of Hannibal's name, but they know what "God Eater" means!
This human being uses gods as food!
Evil, crazy, perverted!
Thinking of his previous enthusiasm and his eager gaze, these winter gods shuddered in unison!
What does it mean to co-write your banquet to "welcome the cold winter"?
Before the battle began, Hannibal also asked for help from Daxia many times.
However, he was repeatedly rejected by Lin Fan.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Hannibal's rebellion. Lin Fan knew that although Hannibal was not loyal to Daxia, he wanted to kill the gods more than he did...
Just because the goal of this battle is to capture the gods alive, the soldiers can suppress their murderous intentions, but for Hannibal, the living gods are a complete waste.
Only gods who are cooked are the cutest gods.
The God of Winter, who was almost cooked, ran out of the kitchen, hugged Chione, and cried with snot and tears: "Lord God, it was almost... almost... no wonder he was there before
They asked me to take a bath and asked me to be the star of the banquet, so I almost became the main dish!"
All the gods of winter silently took a few steps back. At this moment, Hannibal, with his bright smile and gentle manner, was more terrifying than Lin Fan!
Now for them, jailbreaking is not the most important thing, the key is how to survive!
"Hannibal, I want to go out and talk with Chione." Lin Fan smiled and said: "If the God of Winter tries to escape from prison, it will be yours."
Hannibal nodded excitedly and looked at the gods of winter: "Is there anyone else who wants to escape from prison? I'll help you!"
God of Winter: "..."
Seeing that the gods of winter were all honest, Lin Fan looked at Chione and said, "Let's go out and have a chat."
Outside prison.
Chione and Lin Fan stood opposite each other.
Lin Fan got straight to the point and said in a calm tone: "By now, you should know."
"There are only two choices before you. One is to join Daxia and be used by me."
"The other one is to reject Daxia and still regard Daxia as the enemy, and we will execute you all.
.”
What Daxia lacks most now is time.
There is no time to waste with these gods, especially once these gods escape, they can cause huge damage to Daxia!
Lin Fan has never been a kind-hearted person, let alone a holy mother who is troubled by bandits.
Even those races that were unwilling to fight for Daxia were directly destroyed by Lin Fan, not to mention the gods with astonishing destructive power.
With only her head left and her whole body turned into an ice sculpture, Chione looked at Lin Fan with hatred in her eyes and said coldly: "God Shura, you and I have nothing to talk about! Kill me!"
Surrender to humanity, surrender to Daxia?
impossible! .??.
What's more, the Winter Temple has reached this stage because of God Shura's various calculations! This is a blood feud!
I just wish I couldn’t kill Shura with my bare hands!
"I can kill you. To be honest, although I really want to capture you alive, if you really refuse, I will have already made preparations to execute you." Lin Fan said with a smile: "Seeing those empty spaces on the city wall
The flagpole is prepared for you. I don’t mind letting you accompany your husband. The whole family is neat and tidy."
"I also know that you are not afraid of death."
"But... look at them, they are all winter gods that you have carefully cultivated. They are all winter gods who are loyal to you."
"When they learned that you were defeated, they even gave up their fight to the death and captured you without mercy."
"Are you really willing to watch them die? Die because of your own will?"
Lin Fan pointed at the winter gods in the prison.
The gods of winter roared one after another: "Lord God, don't worry about us!"
"Lord God, I will never surrender to humans!"
"Lord God, let him kill us!"
But even so.
Chione's eyes became extremely tangled, scanning the face of every winter god reluctantly.
This is the God of Winter that she cultivated with great difficulty!
Every Winter God was cultivated by her under tremendous pressure to earn resources!
And everyone is loyal and follows themselves.
Those who are disloyal would have gone to other powerful temples long ago!
Chione took a deep breath, suppressed her reluctance, and said coldly: "Shura, don't threaten me."
"Even if I, the Winter Temple, die, I will never surrender to humans, and I will never abandon the glory of the temple! I will never give up the dignity of a god!"
"Even if I, Chione, die, I will never become a laughing stock in the divine world!"
"Haha," Lin Fan laughed loudly: "Glory? Dignity?"
"Ask those gods, do they regard you as a god? Do you still glorify the gods? Has your Winter Temple gained glory over the years? Does it have dignity?"
"You haven't become a laughing stock in the God Realm? Don't you know your position in the God Realm?"
Chione's expression suddenly froze!
yes.
I have long since lost the dignity and glory of God!
I have long been a laughing stock in the God Realm!
"Join us, and I promise that one day, sooner or later, you will stand on the top of Olympus." Lin Fan said softly, "The shame given to you by Zeus and the shame given to you by the gods will be returned to them!"
"You?" Chione's heart moved, but she still looked at Lin Fan with contempt.
"Of course I can't." Lin Fan smiled, "But what about them?"
"come out!"
Just a moment.
Behind Lin Fan, figures came down the stairs one after another.
First Emperor!
No, not the First Emperor, but the bald one...
Chione's pupils shrank suddenly and her voice trembled: "It is indeed you!"
That was the bald man who stood beside Zeus that day and was treated with respect by Zeus!
And after the First Emperor...
"Let me introduce you to Daji, who is now training the main god of the Beast Taming Temple."
"The Lord of the Young Masters of Beast Control, the Great Sage."
"The second young master of the Knights Temple, Lu Bu."
"Earth Temple..."
"Mr. Zhang, well, many of your subordinates should know him." Lin Fan pointed at Mr. Zhang, who was standing at the end. Beside Mr. Zhang, three winter gods were serving tea and fanning themselves with flattering expressions.
Chione's pupils suddenly shrank.
These are all the divine slaves sold by "North" before!
And now it seems that these Eastern Martial Gods actually have a certain amount of authority in the God Realm!
There are many temples all over the place!
"What's more, we still have 140,000,000 compatriots, and more ancestors who are about to awaken. But just three years ago, we had nothing, not even a god."
Lin Fan whispered: "If you give us time, Zeus... do you think he is invincible?"
Chione's breathing was slightly rapid.
The strength of these humans far exceeded her imagination!
He even controlled many temples secretly!
The most important thing is this growth rate!
So amazing!
Just like Poseidon said, this land seems to have unlimited potential!
No, this is not what Poseidon said. Poseidon was already dead at that time... It was the self-promotion of this shameless Shura.
Chione could even imagine the evil smile in the heart of God Shura when he said these words.
Chione wanted to agree for a moment, but then shook her head: "I surrender to you, and my Winter Temple will no longer exist..."
The Winter Temple is her most precious!
"What exactly is the Winter Temple?" Lin Fan suddenly asked.
Chione was stunned for a moment.
"Is it a building standing in the God Realm? Is it an organization that listens to your orders?" Lin Fan looked directly at Chione and said solemnly: "Or is it the God of Winter?"
"I'll tell you the truth."
"To join Daxia, the Winter Temple must be cancelled, and cannot exist alone."
"But each of you Winter Gods will be organized into a Winter Legion separately, and you are still the leader of the Winter Legion, and they are still your subordinates."
"As long as you are obedient, I, Daxia, will devote all my resources to support you!"
"The gods of winter will develop better, and your power will be greater. And all this, as long as you
Listen to Daxia’s orders and fight for Daxia.”
Chione did not respond, Lin Fan's words were always echoing in her mind.
Winter Temple, what exactly is it?
Is it a building?
Is it an organization that follows its own orders?
Or...the God of Winter?
It seems to be the latter.
As long as the God of Winter is alive, Winter's will will be there, and the Winter Temple will be there.
Chione's ideological defenses were loosened at this moment.
Lin Fan struck while the iron was hot: "Of course, you have said before that if you must surrender, it is better to surrender to Zeus."
"But, you can try."
"I can let you go, and you can go back to the God Realm."
"You can even tell Zeus about the existence of Daxia. Zeus will definitely not pursue the past and even reward you."
"But what happens after that?"
"Zeus couldn't tolerate you before, will Zeus not attack you in the future?"
"Even if you completely obeyed Zeus...but you have obeyed for so many years, didn't he finally do something to you?"
Chione interrupted: "That was your instigation..."
"Do you think that I, a twelfth-level Shura god, can influence the thoughts of God King Zeus? You think too highly of me!" Lin Fan smiled solemnly: "Without Zeus's instructions, I dare to take action against Zeuni?"
"I killed Zeuni, but why did Zeus attack your Winter Temple instead of killing me?"
Chione's eyes were filled with shock: "You mean, Zeus has long..."
"I just promoted his idea." Lin Fan said softly: "Zeus' true ambition has never changed!"
"What he wants to do is to unify all realms!"
"All temples will be destroyed!"
And your Winter Temple is just the beginning!
"Do you still want to surrender to Zeus? Do you still want to return to God Realm?"
For a moment, Chione was completely stunned on the spot.
No wonder!
No wonder!
No wonder Zeus didn't kill North, but instead attacked the Temple of Winter!
She didn't think about this issue because of the sudden incident before, but now that she thinks about it, it's completely illogical and full of loopholes!
There is no place for you in the God Realm!
Lin Fan was persuasive and said: "Daxia is currently lacking the most combat power. As long as you join us, we will not reject you, but will help you to become stronger. After all, we need the power of your Winter Temple to resist Zeus.
Resist the gods!"
"To put it bluntly, Daxia has just started."
"As long as the strength is stronger, with the strength of your Winter Temple... I, Daxia, are really too lazy to recruit you."
Lin Fan revealed a message in his words - join Daxia quickly, there will be no shop like this after passing this village, now is the time for your Winter Temple to pay a premium!
Chione was already ready to agree.
After all, whether it was the so-called dignity of God or the "Winter Temple will never surrender", Lin Fan was convinced.
Even she knows that the God Realm has long since lost its place for the Winter Temple, and now the only place for the Winter Temple is in Daxia!
This Shura God has calculated everything!
In fact.
Lin Fan already knew how to persuade Chione when he made the plan and decided to capture the Winter Temple alive.
No, even when he first entered the Winter Temple, Lin Fan had already thought of his words in the future when facing this "mother".
This despicable Shura never fights an unprepared battle.
But there was still one thing that Chione couldn't get over.
"My son North...my husband Poseidon..."
She looked at Lin Fan with complicated eyes and said: "My son, North, is indeed not as good as you pretend to be. He is my shame, and he has no feelings for me at all. He himself was taught by Poseidon to be stupid and arrogant.
"
"But he is my child after all!"
"Poseidon is indeed not as considerate as you pretend to be. He has indeed forced me, ruined me, made me a laughing stock in the divine world, and makes me hold a grudge to this day."
"But no matter what, he is my husband!"
And you killed my children and my husband!
How can I cooperate with you!
This is blood hatred!
Is it possible to convince someone with just a few words?
Blood feud must be repaid with blood!
Lin Fan looked at Chione and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean..."
"A life for a life!" Chione's voice was fierce: "Either you kill me, or I will kill you one day to avenge North and Poseidon!"
Lin Fan fell into silence.
I didn't consider this.
A life for a life...
It seems that this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.
It seems it's time to make a sacrifice.
After all, I did kill other people's children and their husbands.
"A life for a life...can my life, Lin Fan's, be worth North's?"
Chione sneered: "Dignified Shura, of course you can."
Lin Fan looked at Chione: "After this matter is resolved, we can cooperate, right?"
Chione nodded: "Yes."
Lin Fan's eyes were determined and he said softly: "Okay, since I killed your child and I killed your husband, I will give my life for my life today!"
"Lin Fan, don't do anything stupid!" Xingye behind him seemed to have a premonition of something and was about to rush over.
But it's too late!
Chione’s smile is ferocious!
"Plop!"
Lin Fan knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Chione Bangbang.
"Mother!"
"If I kill your child, I will give you a child as compensation!"
"Today, I, Lin Fan, am your biological son! You are my mother!"
"If you are willing, from today on, I will still call you mother! I am still your child North! I will treat you the same as I treat my mother! I will care for you until you die, and fight for the Winter Temple!"
