Outside the city of Argos, an altar built against the mountain hangs high above the inner port.
Sparkling waves rippled on the sea surface, and people gathered here, begging the gods for forgiveness while watching the princess being sent to the altar.
Perseus rode a magical Pegasus, dragging Medusa wrapped in chains and hanging it on a high stand on the altar.
Medusa knew the cause and effect, and Russell guaranteed in the name of Zeus that the moment the sea monster dies, that is when she regains her freedom.
Of course, if Medusa doesn't want to fight with the sea, she can also call her mistress Poseidon or her father Phorcys, the "Father of Monsters", to help.
Medusa didn't speak, the chains were tightly wrapped around her body, and she couldn't say anything.
When Pegasus struggled to reach the altar, four chains shot out on their own, weaving into a spider web and imprisoning Medusa in the center.
She herself was wrapped into a cocoon by white chains. Outsiders could not see her true appearance at all, and they all thought that the person hanging in the air was Princess Andromeda.
"Is this really okay?"
Far away in the palace, King Kepus pointed to the hanging Medusa, slightly worried: "It looks fake. Can it deceive the people and the sea monster?"
"You think it's fake because you already knew it was Medusa, and the people didn't know it, so they thought the princess was wrapped tightly, similar to the packaging used when giving gifts, to surprise the sea monster."
Russell explained calmly, it was just like opening an express package. Even though he knew what was inside, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"But the sea monster is not blind..."
"There's nothing good about it."
Russell said nonchalantly: "They say it's a sea monster. Judging from its size, both humans and Medusa are small, so we won't be suspicious of it."
"..."
Kepus still felt that it was not safe. In his opinion, the safest way was to chop off Medusa's head, let a strong soldier carry it, and hide it in the darkness of the altar.
Then a beautiful woman is disguised as a princess, and when the sea monster approaches and enjoys the meal, a soldier appears with Medusa's head and turns the sea monster into a stone statue.
After that, the soldier became a great hero of the country. The beautiful woman could not let the meritorious ministers feel cold, and Kepus would compensate her. If appropriate, arrange for her to be a queen or something.
"Brother, it's done."
Perseus pressed the Pegasus and landed next to Russell.
"Go to the princess and protect her personally. If someone wants to kidnap her, hit her if you can. If you can't, just scream."
Russell ordered, be careful and make sure you don't make any big mistakes. The three brothers, Kukai and Ming, are as cunning as foxes. They appear to be funny characters on the surface, but in fact they are very calculating and must be guarded against.
"OK."
Perseus originally wanted to stay and see the sea monster, but when he heard that he was personally protecting the princess, he immediately felt that the sea monster was not good enough.
Keps looked at Russell making arrangements, with a complex expression on his face and hesitated to speak, and finally said no word.
Between Russell and Perseus, he preferred Perseus to be his son-in-law. Since he was from a royal family and had only one daughter, it would be better for his son-in-law to be dumber.
About half an hour later, more and more people gathered on the coast to pray. A strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky and the earth. The clear sky dimmed. On the golden sun, a little black ink magnified, dyeing the entire golden crow black.
Darkness enveloped the earth, but fortunately there was still a halo of outline of the sun, which avoided the fear of being unable to see.
From the depths of the ocean, a dull roar rolled in, sound waves shook the sea surface, and set off stormy waves, frantically lapping at the port of the Argos city-state and the cliffs on both sides.
"coming!"
Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes turned into dark whirlpools, and he saw a huge monster in the middle of the vast sea.
Perhaps because Hades made it from his own flesh and blood, the sea monster named Sethus exudes a strong aura of the underworld, but it is far inferior to the three-headed dog of hell.
"It may look big, but it's actually vulnerable. If it didn't have the immortal body of the three-headed hell dog, it might be even worse."
This is Russell's view. It is different for ordinary people. Sethus is black, big and hard, and is a natural disaster monster that destroys the world.
"Roaring high--"
The huge waves rolled, and the irregular thorns on Seth's back protruded, and they streaked across the sea surface at high speed like sharp arrows, stirring up countless whirlpools.
Four huge octopus tentacles surged up and slapped the rough waves, scaring the people praying by the port and fleeing in all directions.
Screams resounded throughout the city-state of Argos, and with a violent roar, Sethus' huge body stood upright from the sea.
It has a humanoid upper body, strong limbs, and is covered in thick cuticle armor. Its face has a bloody mouth, sharp fangs clustered like razors, and its three pairs of eyes are fierce and full of destruction.
The lower body is similar to that of an arachnid scorpion, with four stocky and powerful lower limbs with strong joints, supporting the huge body and allowing it to walk upright.
At the tail area, there are four huge tentacles that are more than a thousand meters long, shaped like octopus tentacles, covered with slippery mucus, and ending in sharp spines that can crack mountains and crack rocks.
"What a big man!"
Russell pursed his lips. Although he had never seen a Titan in this world, he could imagine it based on Seth's size.
He did not think that Hades created Sethus just to play wrestling with the Titans. If he was a showman with no physique and no divine power, and put him among a group of Titans, the consequences could be imagined.
Russell thought for a moment and threw the Erha into the pack of wolves with a serious look on his face.
Shaking his head to dispel the boring thoughts in his mind, Russell could not see many things in Sethus. From a psychological point of view, there was Hades' fear of the Titans and his conquest of the Titans**.
It can be seen from this that the Titans in this world must be extremely powerful. Even if the Zeus family successfully overthrows them, they still remain fearful of them.
Russell touched his chin. If he remembered correctly, the underworld is independent of the human world where Olympus is located, so Poseidon, as the King of the Sea, is one of the twelve main gods, but Hades, as the King of Hades, is not.
Tartarus is located in the underworld, this place called "Hell", where many Titans including the second generation God King Cronus are imprisoned.
Therefore, although Hades is the king of Hades, he is actually the warden.
This is also what Hades is most dissatisfied with. Every day when he sleeps, he can hear the roar of his dead father. Who can bear this?
As for his two younger brothers, one enjoys himself in the sky and the other dominates the sea, and they are full of enthusiasm and have children.
There is no harm without comparison. No matter how good-tempered Hades is, he can't stand this kind of treatment.
Thinking of Titans and Hades, Russell couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and write pn a——pn seven-eleven in his mind.
"Hohohoho——"
The loud sound made people's eardrums hurt and their brains buzzed.
Sethus opened his mouth wide and leaned towards the 'princess' on the rope. Just like Russell said, he didn't realize that the princess was too big.
Wow!!
The white chains spread out like branches. The Gorgon Medusa looked at the big mouth where the fishy wind was blowing, her eyes widened immediately, her head full of snake hair danced in the wind, and she made a hissing sound like a snake spitting messages.
Medusa's charming face becomes demonic, her mouth expands like a snake's kiss, and two beams of light bloom from her pupils, which is breathtaking yet extremely charming.
The petrified evil eye is open!
"Aww!!"
The altar was empty, only two chains were left rattling.
The people in the city cheered, and Sethus, the sea monster, enjoyed the sacrifice, and they no longer had to die.
Keps:(˙灬˙)
Russell:(￣□￣；)
"This this……"
Kepus pointed at the sea monster tremblingly, looked at Russell with a stiff neck, and said tremblingly: "Use Medusa to replace the princess and complete the sacrifice ceremony. Is this your plan?"
Whether it was true or not, he had no clue at all, and he had hidden it from everyone. Keps felt more and more that Russell was deeply scheming, and he had never trusted anyone from the beginning to the end.
The sand sculpture, from the looks of it, knows that when the sea monster pokes its head out, it eats with its eyes closed.
Russell rolled his eyes, coughed slightly and said: "Very good, the plan was executed perfectly. Not only did we save the princess and Argus, but we also eliminated a Gorgon."
After enjoying the sacrifice, the sea monster Sethus roared up to the sky, turned his huge body and moved towards the deep sea. As his long tail swayed, waves continued to wash away, washing the port of Argos again and again.
When most of its body sank into the deep sea, it suddenly stopped and stood there blankly, as if communicating with someone.
"It was still discovered..."
Russell curled his lips slightly, and suddenly there was wind in his ears. The violent sea wind wrapped the white shadow and flew away quickly, followed by Perseus who was wearing feather shoes.
Another strong wind came and blew away the unsteady Kepus. Ai'e came to Russell and said anxiously: "We are in trouble. Someone took Princess Andromeda away and claimed to be Poseid, the Emperor of the Sea.
Dong, it seems that Poseidon and Hades have joined forces."
"No, that's either Poseidon or Hades."
Russell covered his face speechlessly and observed three seconds of silence for Poseidon: "Don't ask why, I just know."
"you sure?"
"..."
Russell didn't say anything. How could he talk nonsense about the substitution method?
Without answering Ai'e's doubts, Russell's body floated up and headed straight into the middle of the sea.
When she arrived, the sea breeze threw Princess Andromeda down, and below her was Sethus with his bloody mouth open.
"Andromeda, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Perseus pedaled on his feather shoes, his speed was extremely fast, like a stream of lightning, he accelerated and sprinted, and steadily caught the falling Princess Andromeda.
"Aww!"
"..."
Seeing Seth shut his mouth again, Russell felt a sense of distress, and punched with his hand. The black wind roared from the punch, turning into a huge fist, hitting him in the chest and abdomen.
"Hohohoho——"
The horny armor shattered, Sethus roared in pain, a sudden black light flashed, and he closed his mouth in confusion.
He felt...as if he had eaten something meaty.
In any case, the ceremony of sacrificing the princess has ended.
The black sky cleared, and Sethus swam toward the deep sea, leaving behind cheering people all over the city, as well as Kepus and Ai'e, who were staring at each other with big eyes.
"..."
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and even after a long while they did not accept the fact that Russell, Perseus, and Andromeda were eaten by the sea monster.
Boom!!
At this moment, the cloudless sky suddenly darkened, exuding a terrifying aura that destroyed all things.
Thunder surged and roared, the color of the sky and the earth changed, countless lightnings in the clouds gathered into a ball, and the strong light of electric current burst out with boundless heat.
With an invisible shattering sound, a thousand-meter-diameter pillar of thunder suddenly landed on the sea surface. The bright light was overwhelming, enough to tear apart space, and it was so blinding that people could not see directly.
The thunder pillar will envelope Sethus, the shock wave will ruthlessly swallow everything, the sea will not stop shaking, and along with the powerful energy storm, thousands of hectares of sea water will rise into the sky.
The ocean shook and then calmed down after a long time. People looked from a distance and saw a circular gap with a diameter of one kilometer in the middle of the ocean.
The fog surrounded it, the seawater evaporated, the dry and cracked seabed was exposed, and the surrounding energy lingered. Although the sea tide was turbulent, it could not be calmed down for a while.
The sea monster Sethus stood silently in the gap in the ocean, with the smell of meat wafting from his black body, as if it had been roasted.
Click! Click click————
Two pairs of big black hands protruded from Seth's back, tearing the gap open and bursting out like a parasitic monster.
In the center of the four arms is a huge ball as black as ink. From a distance, it looks like a four-legged spider with human arms.
