Rise of an Empire

"The Soviet Union collapsed"

Looking at the overwhelming propaganda slogans, the Duke was a little stunned.

"It's just disintegration. What does it have to do with you?" Gadot stood beside him and said nonchalantly.

The location they were currently in seemed to be Athens, the capital of Greece. The entire city was now enveloped in a festive atmosphere, filled with carnival crowds.

The Soviet Union has always been a behemoth that towers over all Western countries. Even if the United States can defeat the Soviet Union in economic, political, cultural and other aspects, the most important point is its military strength. There is still a gap with the other country.

As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten enemies. Faced with a rogue who can set up global strategic nuclear weapons anytime and anywhere, everyone will have a headache.

it's good now.

The Soviet Union collapsed, the world was at peace, and the dark cloud of nuclear war hanging over the people of the world finally dissipated.

"No, what year is it now?" The Duke smiled sadly. He seemed to have missed a lot of important things this time.

He was originally only going to play in Europe for a few months, and then he was going to develop his own undersea team when he returned, take over Atlantis in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the disintegration of the Soviet Union to annex it and build a prototype of an amphibious empire on land and sea.

According to the original plan, Conrad felt that his chance of success was at least 80%.

But who would have thought that the plan could not keep up with the change. I just took a trip around the Mediterranean and encountered a lot of trouble.

He had gotten all the truth from Athena's mouth.

It turned out that when he and Wonder Woman were fighting on the boat that day, they actually triggered the seal of Hydra.

Hydra is an ancient behemoth that cannot be completely killed. When it is killed, it will drift between heaven and earth as a wandering spirit until the right time comes and it will continue to resurrect.

Of course, the resurrected Hydra is no different from the Hydra in the previous life except for the body, and the soul has been completely replaced.

The space-time gate he opened at that time happened to resonate with Hydra's energy, so he and Wonder Woman were suddenly transported to an era when the gods of ancient Greece were annihilated.

In order to make Kratos the God of War, Athena spent a lot of money, and even sacrificed herself to stimulate the power in Kratos' body. After all, according to her script, as long as Kratos wins, she can be resurrected directly and become the god of war. God King.

But who would have thought that Kratos committed suicide, and would rather die than let Athena's conspiracy succeed, which made the goddess of wisdom dumbfounded.

Without the gods, the Garden of the Gods would soon collapse. Without the supply of divine power, the majestic goddess of wisdom would become a lonely ghost, and she might just die that day.

Of course, the Goddess of Beauty is not dead yet. If Athena can sacrifice her face and go to the other party to ask for help, Aphrodite probably won't mind adopting her former nemesis.

But for the arrogant Athena, if she can only survive by relying on that shameless woman Aphrodite in the future, she might as well die cleanly.

So after seeing that there were still living people left, Athena immediately began to cheer up.

She first promised a bunch of so-called empty benefits, hoping that Conrad and Gadot would work for her, but the Duke, who knew the character of this goddess of wisdom, would not agree.

Seeing that the inducement was ineffective, Athena was ready to go directly to the hard side. Gadot seemed to be a high-ranking god. Even in her prime, it would take a lot of effort to kill the opponent, so Athena went straight to the soft side. He faced Conrad, who looked like he was a demigod.

The result

Athena didn't expect that she would hit the iron plate this time.

Although the opponent doesn't seem to be very strong, his soul resistance is astonishingly strong. If he hadn't stopped the soul invasion in time, he might really have capsized in the gutter.

The three of them stared at each other at the top of the mountain and remained in a stalemate for half a year. In the end, Athena couldn't bear it anymore and was the first to give in.

After all, she is only in a state of soul. The other party can waste his life on her, but she cannot afford it.

If it takes a hundred and eighty years, she might really die.

What's more, the two bastard men and women opposite had no idea what shame was, and they acted like this in front of her for half a year.

The various tricks and postures made Athena almost doubt her life. Are the two of them the legendary gods? Otherwise, how could they come up with so many incredible ways to play.

Athena, who suffered a mental crisis for half a year, had no choice but to sign a city alliance with Conrad. She helped him return to the correct world timeline, while Conrad needed to return to the Garden of the Gods when he was able to save Athens. Na is fully resurrected.

What is the standard for this ability, but all the power of interpretation lies in Conrad's hands.

Because he knew that he would definitely not be able to outplay the goddess of wisdom opposite him, the Duke did not go through any red tape when signing the contract with the other party, just one sentence.

Conrad has all the rights to interpret this contract

Athena originally prepared a series of text loopholes and contract traps. She is the goddess of wisdom. If it comes to playing tricks, those so-called evil demons are not even qualified to carry shoes compared to her.

But the other party doesn't give her a chance to show off at all. No matter how resourceful you are, you can only stare in anger when you encounter someone who is unreasonable.

The Garden of the Gods has become a separate confined space because it has been completely separated from the main world. Athena used her profound knowledge to construct a space-time magic circle that can transport Conrad back to her own world line.

Her request is that within three hundred years, Conrad must return to the Garden of the Gods and bring her back enough power to regenerate her.

Probably, one Infinity Stone is enough.

The Infinity Stones are the treasures that the whole universe is fighting for, so Athena generously gave Conrad three hundred years. As long as he brought the Infinity Stones back to her within three hundred years, Athena said that she could bring them back to her. Control of the Garden of the Gods was transferred to Conrad.

It was a super artifact created by the most powerful Titan Protoss at that time. Its own plane contained the power of various rules. Being the controller of the Garden of the Gods, it could make people ascend to the sky instantly.

The Duke agreed to this condition without any pressure. Anyway, Director Annihilation will come to Earth after 30 years of exhaustion. By then, six gems will have appeared on Earth one after another. It shouldn't be a big problem to get one.
