Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 29 The Day After Tomorrow
After leaving General Ross's house, Ashes planned to go to S.H.I.E.L.D., but Cassandra looked at the distant skyline and let out a very literary sigh: "It's dawn."

Ashes asked strangely, "Did you hurt your head in the battle just now?"

Cassandra rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "It's just a little emotional."

"What are you feeling?"

"I feel that time has changed." Cassandra said like a memory: "I used to be just an ordinary mercenary on Kefalonia Island. At that time, I beat robbers, caught thieves, and helped people collect debts. But gradually, I started to deal with the regular army, the Spartan army, the Athenian army, and I would help whoever gave more money. Later, I started to fight some weird things, such as Cyclops, Minotaur North and Medusa, these mythical creatures fell under my feet one by one, I became excited, and plunged into the battle of the gods like a stunned young man."

"I organized an uprising in Elysium, led the undead to overthrow the dictatorship of Queen Posephone, and killed Hermes, her number one licking dog; then I was thrown into the underworld by the angry Posephone , chopped off the three heads of the bad dog Cerberus. In order to go home, I accepted the hire of Hades, the king of the underworld, to help him seal the space-time rift and destroy the enemies pouring out of it. I did it, but the dead man The face turned out to be a repudiation. You know, anyone who dared to repudiate me was sent to see the famous Pluto, and Pluto was no exception, so I broke his neck."

"After that, I went to Atlantis at the invitation of Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, and helped him solve some family matters. That old guy was very good at the road, and he didn't renege on his debts. He gave me the highest authority and told me the truth about my life experience, making me the damned guardian of the balance."

"I have been fighting for so many years to maintain the balance between order and chaos. I have tried to end chaos, but in the end it led to destruction. This world is too fragile. If one side wins out, chaos and order , the whole world will fall apart."

"Just as I in Kephallonia would never have imagined that I would fight gods in the future, neither would I have imagined that I would fight some man-made monsters one night five years ago. So what's next? I'm going to fight with What battle? Aliens invading the earth? Self-awakening bionics? Or an alien overlord who intends to destroy the world in one fell swoop? When will my mission end?"

Yongzhen listened quietly, not quite understanding.

Ashes understood it, because he had a similar feeling before.

"You're tired. So, how long have you lived?"

Cassandra counted on her fingers for a long time before she said uncertainly, "About... 2000? I should have been born in Sparta in 480 BC. My grandfather led 300 warriors to resist at Thermopylae Pass." Leonidas invaded by the Persian army."

"Then you should be around 2500 years old." Ashes complained, "Can't you even remember how many times your own birthday has passed?"

"Who will remember, I've been tired of it too many times." Cassandra asked unconvinced: "What about you, how old are you?"

"Uh..." Ashes was speechless: "How about we talk about something else?"

"Haha, look at you, you are still the same!" Cassandra laughed, and then asked Yongzhen: "Where is Miss Death, how old are you this year?"

"I started hunting Shura at the age of 22." Yongzhen was too embarrassed to reveal his real age, so he took a trick and said, "Then I hunted and killed Shura for 12 years."

"34 years old."

Ashes and Cassandra sighed at the same time, and then said enviously: "That's great, that's great!"

Yongzhen: "???"

This is nothing to envy.

But Ashes and Cassandra couldn't bear to tell Yongzhen the cruelty of eternal life, so they changed the topic.

"So what do you want to do after all this rambling?" Ashes asked Cassandra.

Cassandra chuckled: "As you said, I'm tired, so I want to find a successor."

Hui Hui's face darkened immediately, and he immediately said: "Yongzhen, let Yinglong throw this guy down."

Yongzhen: "..."

"Hey, you're so ruthless." Cassandra said with an unhappy face, "Are you disregarding our relationship for so many years?"

"Please, I only met you for the first time two weeks ago, and we only exchanged names tonight. The so-called feelings don't exist at all!"

"Damn it, isn't it easy to lie?"

"what?"

"Nothing!" Cassandra sneered, and changed her words: "Well, since there is no relationship, let's talk about money. Don't you want to hear my offer?"

"No need..."

Before the word "want" was uttered, Ashes' gaze was attracted by the golden apple in Cassandra's hand, and so did Yongzhen.

Ashes could feel that it contained a thick and pure "power of death".

"what is this?"

"Golden apples, the golden apples that produced Thanatos, the god of death. In layman's terms, this is the priesthood of the god of death." Cassandra said with a smile: "Although I don't know which god you are from, but the gods are all different. It's the same, I believe this will be of great help to our Miss Death. How about it, do you want to accept my employment?"

Ashes snorted, puffed out his chest and said, "Please order me hard!"

Yongzhen: "..."

Ashes burst into tears, there is no way, the other party has given too much! ! !

"Good boy." Cassandra rubbed Ashes' head and said with a smile: "Four years later, that is, in 2012, the sun will erupt the most powerful flare ever, and it will completely destroy human civilization. This was originally my task, and now I leave it to you."

Ashes touched his chin: "You want me to defeat the sun?"

"Can't it be done?"

Ashes shook his head: "Yes, but you have to pay more."

"Haha, you are not the god of mercenaries, right? This philistine looks really like I did back then." Cassandra said and took out another golden apple: "Don't worry, I am quite generous. , this is your reward for defeating the sun."

This time, Ashes and Yongzhen felt the power of darkness from the golden apple, and it was stronger than the power of death before.

"Which unlucky golden apple is this again?" Ashes asked.

"Hades."

Ember nodded: "It is indeed a reward that matches the defeat of the sun. I have accepted your task."

"Don't worry." Cassandra packed Hades' golden apple and said with a smile: "Now it's a two-way choice. If you want to accept the task from me, you have to show me your hands. I There is a small entry test, this..." Cassandra took out the golden apple of Thanatos, the god of death, and said, "It's your prize for passing the test. Do you want to accept it?"

"Of course." Ashes asked confidently, "Tell me, who do you want me to kill?"

"Unfortunately, this time you are not asked to kill, but to save people."

"Rescue?"

"Well." Cassandra said: "The cause is also a solar flare, but it is only a very slight eruption. As a result, the Earth's magnetic field has undergone some changes. The direct consequence is that the North Atlantic warm current will disappear for a period of time. During this period, the United States The northern part will enter the Little Ice Age, and according to normal development, tsunamis, hurricanes and severe cold will completely destroy the human civilization there, your task is to prevent this from happening, there is no limit to the means, is there a problem?"

"No problem." Ashes asked, "What time will the solar flare erupt this time?"

Cassandra said with a smile: "Just when I was feeling sorry for my life at the beginning, it has already exploded."

ash:"……"

Yongzhen: "..."

"Don't be so sad, the warm North Atlantic current isn't cooling down so fast, it can persist for a while."

Ashes sighed, and asked helplessly, "So, when will the Little Ice Age come?"

Cassandra smiled slightly and spit out two words.

"the day after tomorrow."
