"Blazer, you know there is a place in this world that is absolutely safe. [U-22], the absolute center of the world, will not be affected no matter how much chaos happens."

The old lion suddenly spoke, and Blazer turned back helplessly. He thought the old lion was going to persuade him to stay in a safe place. But when he turned around, he saw the majestic and proud lion.

The old, lonely king propped up his old and loose skin, raised his dry mane, and questioned with an almost oppressive attitude.

Boy, are you aware enough to pursue your own wishful thinking?

This was a question he had already answered, and no matter how many times you asked him he would only give one answer.

"Give my place to someone else."

Rather than becoming a savior who leads hope to survive in the apocalypse, he would choose to be an unknown person who does stupid things and wants to defeat the apocalypse.

The chicken spread its wings and flew into the sky with Blaze, leaving their shadows on the ground. But as they flew higher and higher, their shadows gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.

The old lion and Odin smiled at each other. It seemed that the young man who flew into the sky had inherited some parts of them.

"A heart that is not afraid of swords, and a fighting spirit that silently sharpens the sword in the face of fate."

"You two really like to flatter yourselves." The shrewd Herbie saw what the two were thinking at a glance and rolled his eyes.

"You learned all of this from me!"

Herbie felt that he had provided some help, in a way, since a child who only thought about buying apples every day could skillfully mingle among strangers and gain the trust and respect of many forces.

Unlike these two guys, who just tell riddles and then shamelessly post them.

"But then again..." Hebi glanced at Odin and the old lion, "You only said you didn't know about the sun goddess Amaterasu, but you didn't mention anything about the underworld."

Odin slowly turned his gaze away, the old lion looking up at the sky and scratching his neck with his claws. Finally, under Hebi's contemptuous gaze, Odin laughed awkwardly twice.

"How can I say it? If I say it, it will show how incompetent and destitute we are."

"Aren't you incompetent and downtrodden enough now?" Hebi didn't laugh loudly, but held his chin and looked at Odin and the old lion seriously before coming to his conclusion.

"...In fact, the Age of the Gods might still have a continuation, and the place of continuation is underground."

……

Facts have proven that Chiron is the best elder compared to the old lion who just lays down and enjoys the offerings, and the erratic Odin. Not only is he not good at riddles, but he also knows everything and answers any question.

Regarding information like the Mini Totem, Chiron stated that it wasn't in the database. However, the Age of Gods had studied mythical totems, and even the circuits of Age of Gods weapons were modeled after them.

The Age of Gods is not that far away from the Age of Gods. Leaving aside the gods, the monsters in the Age of Gods have greatly benefited the humans of the Age of Gods.

"The Age of Gods was actually very short, lasting only two thousand years. During those two thousand years, there were no earth-shattering upheavals, but there were indeed strange earthquakes, the frequency of which was very close to the two earth-shattering upheavals that occurred in this era."

Chiron was powerless to stop the world from turning upside down, but fortunately, he had a good teacher in his short life. This young teacher taught him that if he was confused, he should take a step forward. Maybe that step was the beginning of a long road, but it would definitely be an extremely solid shortcut.

"Blazer, I don't know how I can help you, but I'll do what I can."

"Have you solved the power supply problem for the Age of Gods weapons?"

"This is a bit... time is a bit tight..." Chiron is an extremely lifelike robot, so he licked his lips in great embarrassment.

Clearly this is an unresolved problem.

Blaze also knew that this was difficult, so he simply changed the subject and took out the light bulb that the ferryman had used to perfunctorily deal with him.

"Teacher, look at this."

"Ah, it will be quick with this." Chiron grabbed the light bulb, and after knocking it for a while with his back to Blaze, he installed the light bulb on the hilt of [Ares' Howl].

As the light bulb flickered, [Ares' Howl] slowly woke up like a sleeping beast, letting out a low roar.

"God, the technology of the Age of Gods is so amazing!"

Chapter 471 The Special Meaning of Light Bulbs

What is God-era technology? It is when very simple metals are put together to become magical props.

In Blaze's eyes, [Ares' Howl] is an extremely powerful and mysterious technology from the Age of Gods. The serrations on it can even cut through space and easily destroy Gungnir replicas.

This world is not without powerful equipment and props, but equipment and props that are powerful but unreasonable often come at a heavy price for their use.

For example, in order to transform Greenland into the forbidden fruit of the red dragon, one needs to sacrifice all his levels and professions, and will be hunted by angel monsters forever. He will be identified as a monster in the Holy Cross country, and the Holy Cross country even posted a wanted list.

The price of [Ares' Howl] is that it needs to be charged.

This ferocious weapon can only display its full power when fully charged, and its power decreases as the power decreases. According to Chiron's calculations, the [Ares' Howl] will need to be recharged after fighting at full power for ten minutes.

Therefore, even if a charging pedestal is found, [Ares' Howl] will still be a weapon that can only be used as a last resort.

Blazer didn't have a big problem with this, as long as it worked. But when he took out the light bulb that the ferryman had tricked him into giving him, Chiron said the problem was solved.

Blazer could only say...

"Amazing technology from the Age of Gods!"

"But can you explain the principle behind this to me, a fool?"

Chiron rubbed his chin and thought for a long time. His supercomputer needed some time to simplify the large amount of data into something that Blaze could understand.

"...This magical glass ball contains a powerful energy source, and it is just within the range compatible with the technology of the Age of Gods." Chiron tapped the light bulb with his fingers.

The electric sparks in it were like living things, touching Chiron's fingers through the glass.

"But the energy contained within is truly too powerful. The overly sophisticated Age of Gods technology cannot withstand it. Only a rugged creature like [Ares' Howl] can handle it."

"Hmm... I still don't understand." Blaze picked up the [Ares Howl]. On this ferocious weapon, which was completely black with silver-white blades, a small light bulb emitted light.

The combination of the small light bulb and the chainsaw sword seems particularly incongruous, as if a tiger is wearing a white flower.

"It's like a tiger and flowers."

"Indeed." Chiron nodded in agreement, but his eyes were fixed on the light bulb above [Ares' Howl].

"…Are we talking about the same thing?"

Chiron suddenly asked, pointing at the light bulb, indicating that the tiger he was talking about was actually this light bulb. Blaze looked back and forth between the small light bulb and the [Ares Howl], and finally pointed at the mighty chainsaw sword.

"In the Age of Gods, the energy source that powered powerful weapons was even more powerful than the weapons themselves, like an incredibly powerful bomb. This is a power source capable of powering world-class weapons, so it must be extremely dangerous."

"Is this true?" Blaze looked down at the small light bulb, sweat breaking out on his palms. After Chiron said that, he felt like the light bulb was going to explode at any moment.

Who would tie bombs to their weapons when fighting? They are not strangers.

"Don't worry about the hardness of the container. I've already tested it. How could I hand over such a dangerous tool to my students without testing it?"

Chiron gave a reassuring smile and turned to show Blaze what he was using for the inspection: a hammer, a knife, and a strange gun-like weapon that spun and made a hissing sound.

What Chiron was doing just now with his back to Blaze was using these props to test the hardness of the light bulb.

Blazer didn't know what to say, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Although Chiron was very intelligent and never spoke in riddles, he was sometimes a little stupid.

"...I'll use it with caution."

Blaze raised the [Howl of Ares]. After all, [Gungnir] was a javelin, and he was not good at using spears, so the [Howl of Ares] was very suitable for him.

However, this way, his weapons are very rich. For close combat, he has his old friend, the twisted sword, and the hunter sword he got from the stranger. For long-range combat, he has dual guns.

As the saying goes, more skills are better than less. If you have a lot of weapons, they will not be a burden as long as you can handle them.

While Blaze was getting familiar with the function of [Ares' Howl], Chiron told Blaze the story of the Age of Gods.

The Age of Gods followed the end of the Age of the Gods. Many traces of the gods remained in the world, most notably the terrifying beasts they had created. At that time, humans were the only race without a hierarchy. Even after igniting the flames of civilization, they still trembled in fear and prayed to the gods.

Until one day, a man stood up and did something that made humans leave the altar of worshipping the gods. That was to capture the thunder of the gods' wrath and power.

A string, a kite, a key, and a glass ball.

The man used only these three things to seal the thunder into a small container. Although the man turned into charcoal and the glass ball exploded in an instant because of this blasphemous and arrogant act, his pioneering posture made the kneeling humans stand up.

When the existence of a lamp illuminated the night, humans also gained their own stars. With the lamp as the center, humans began to seek the power of the gods.

At that time, humans in the Age of Gods discovered totems on the earth. Those totems were not simple patterns drawn with lines, but giant puzzles made up of mountains and forests.

One after another, weapons with gods as their imaginary enemies but named after gods were born, but they were not activated until the end of the Age of Gods civilization.

"Stars created by humans? If one day the earth were lit up with lights, it would be a very beautiful sight." Blazer flicked the light bulb. "But once in a while, you should turn off the lights and look at the sky."

“When you are among the stars, you lose sight of the stars that guide you.”

"Perhaps this is the reason for the destruction of the Age of Gods. Their highly developed civilization caused them to lose themselves." Chiron sighed regretfully, then patted Blaze on the back. "But this kind of philosophy class isn't suitable for you. You're more suited to actual combat."

"Let me check if you've regressed or neglected your exercise."

As a result, until the third day after the appointment, Blaze was still practicing combat with Chiron. The core of the training was of course Pankrasin, but during the training, Blaze discovered that Pankrasin's proficiency had actually decreased.

Although the skills will not be forgotten, there will be a very obvious skill afterswing after being lowered to the bottom.

Thanks to this, Blaze was really beaten up, and he even had to hold his waist when he left.

Chapter 472 Gods also need three meals a day

In order to find a way to deal with the "Turning Upside Down", Blaze and his companions must search for a sun god living underground. The only hint the ferryman gives is from Dali Feizhuan, who also happens to reveal that he knows a sun goddess.

Here we have to talk about other creatures, namely "God". The Age of Gods was the era when gods were the most free and unscrupulous. Compared with the honorific title of "God" in the Age of Gods and this era, the gods of that era were more like a group of extremely powerful creatures in the world.

With the end of the Age of Gods, the gods either lost themselves or moved away from the world. Only then did the mythological stories slowly continue.

The image of God by living beings eventually becomes blurred as the "great being that bestows blessings." Gods who survive and remain on earth often fall into two extreme states.

Or, like Odin, nothing remains except his own name. Everything associated with the gods has vanished, and only vague mythical spirits or shadows of the past walk the earth.

Or like the second-generation One-Eyes, he possesses divine power, but lives outside the world. If he wants to interfere with the world, he has to pay the price of losing power.

But gods like the second-generation One-Eye, who possess the killing power of one blow and immunity to almost all damage, are extremely rare even in the Age of Gods.

According to Dali Feizhuan, the sun goddess Amaterasu resides in a secret place called Takamagahara. Although it is on the map, it can only be reached using a special method.

This special method is [Task Transfer].

Blaze arrived at the [Fairy Kingdom] fully equipped, while Greenland had been waiting there for a long time... It looked like he hadn't left at all rather than arriving early, otherwise it couldn't explain Greenland's LV85 level.

Seeing Blaze coming, Greenland gave a trembling thumbs up.

"Your hidden leveling point is really great."

Simply put, Greenland found that the Dragon's Sleeping Land was not enough to upgrade him to a viable combat capability within three days, so he accepted the upgrade activity of the [Fairy Kingdom] and spent three days scouting wild boars.

Now I am almost reaching the point of being in ecstasy.

Blaze stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Greenland. He found that although Greenland was greeting him, his eyes were empty and he seemed to have fallen asleep while standing.

Falling asleep while standing is fine, but defecating while standing is not... Luckily, the strangers don't have this ability. However, considering the long journey ahead, Greenland needs to maintain a somewhat normal state, so Blazer placed Greenland on the back of the chicken.

If he remembered correctly, the stranger would soon regain his strength by sleeping in the comfortable big bed.

The chicken's body covered with soft feathers was a huge down bed for Greenland. As soon as he lay down on it, he immediately closed his eyes, curled up his body and revealed a peaceful sleeping face.

At this time, Dali Feizhuan appeared with an uncomfortable expression.

Blaze pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds, and immediately understood that the powerful flying bricks were due to Kate Cat next to him and the kimono-clad woman Kitaida-hime on the other side.

"Is this a Shura Field?!"

"No, that's just an appearance." Chicken whispered in Blaze's ear, "I think it's Qi Inada Ji who is speculating about the relationship between the two."

"What!?" Blaze had to admit that he was still a newcomer in this area, and he immediately improved his level under Chicken's guidance.

As he observed carefully, he found that, as expected, Qi Daotian Ji was looking between Kate Cat and Dali Feizhuan with an extremely ambiguous look, and she was laughing from time to time with her hands covering her mouth.

"I say... could it be that the origin story of the love between the two siblings that the elves told is not false?" No matter how Blaze looked at it, he felt that Princess Kidada's attitude had changed as if she had automatically given in after seeing the most noble feelings and turned into a bystander.

The only feeling that could be considered sublime by someone from Takama-ga-hara, the home of the sun goddess Amaterasu, is probably the union of a man and a woman, which originated from mythology.

"Didn't the elves exaggerate the situation?!" The chicken was also very skeptical. It was obvious that the elves' reputation was so bad that even the truth they told would sound fake.

"These are the elves who can say that the Supreme God of Olympus had sex with stones and cows. Are their dirty jokes really believable?"

Actually, none of this mattered much. After all, the real business now was to head to Takamagahara to find the sun goddess Amaterasu. Kate Cat had no objection to this matter. The matter of Typhon had drawn to a close for the Fairy Kingdom, and they were about to enter a new chapter.

However, Kate Cat also said that if a large-scale group battle is required, remember to ask them for help.

The way to get to Takama-ga-hara is very simple, that is to use a special token through the teleportation tower, and the teleportation tower will form a portal leading to Takama-ga-hara.

Blaze had seen this type of single-use portal before. The teleportation tool Herbie used to reach Hermes's Traveling Hat was this type of portal. This type of portal was extremely fragile and would break after a few lives passed through it.

After Dali Feizhuan activated the portal, he walked in first. Blaze took a deep breath and followed. Every time he passed through this kind of portal, he had a feeling that there was an enemy lying in ambush on the other side.

As soon as he passed through the portal, Blaze felt a darkness coming over him, and everything he could see was pitch black.

Blaze immediately closed his eyes, completely giving up his sight and invoking the title of [Blind] to take effect. The surroundings were still dark, but the things hidden in the darkness were exposed.
