Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Above Mount Olympus, inside the God Realm.

Apollo drove the Sun Chariot back here with an expressionless expression. Different from the previous quiet and deserted appearance, the God Realm at this moment seemed particularly "lively".

All the twelve main gods of ancient Greece gathered here. If you look carefully, except for a few two or three main gods, most of the gods have more or less scars on their bodies or faces.

Just when Apollo came back, there were still several gods arguing with each other. However, after seeing Apollo coming back, everyone stopped in a tacit understanding. Only miserable howls could be heard from a closed space not far away. Voice.

"Did you really tell Zheng Shu?!"

A scream came from the side. The moon god Artemis jumped onto the shoulders of the sun god Apollo without caring about her own image, and tore his face with both hands.

Apollo's handsome face was full of helplessness, but he did not dare to resist his sister, so he could only stand there and let Artemis keep tearing her apart.

It can be seen that the scars on his face before were probably caused by this.

It wasn't until the goddess Hera and the goddess Aphrodite couldn't stand it anymore that they pulled Artemis off Apollo's shoulders.

However, for the Moon Goddess who was crying like a child, no matter how many main gods tried to persuade her, they could not make her stop. They could only hand Artemis to Hess, the kitchen goddess who had been sitting silently since just now. Tia.

"Ah! Ah! By the way, is there anyone here to help me? Ah! Is there anyone here to stop him?"

Just after the gods finished dealing with the Moon God, a human head and an arm suddenly popped out from the closed space nearby. He screamed and stretched out his hand for help to the gods.

Although he was beaten into a miserable state, judging from his clothes and appearance, this screaming god who didn't care about his image was actually Zeus, the king of the gods.

"Help... oh! I really don't mean any harm... ah! Please help me!"

Judging from the looming space crack he opened, behind him, Hades's face was filled with anger, and his aura was enough to even crush mountains. The attacks in his hands were hitting Zeus mercilessly.

Before Zeus and Hades became gods, they were both annihilation mobile fortresses and flagships used in interstellar battles. Both had the same model. After becoming gods, Hades began to be slightly at a disadvantage due to the spread of faith. But these two people are still at the same level.

Under the premise that Zeus did not dare to fight back due to his guilty conscience and could only defend himself, Hades was naturally beaten badly in the face of the furious Hades.

Perhaps it was because Zeus's scream was so brutal that the goddesses present seemed a little intolerable.

Especially Athena, she couldn't help hearing Zeus's tragic cry, so she walked up to Zeus herself, and in his expectant eyes, she pushed his arms and head back and closed the space. crack.

As soon as the space crack was sealed, the miserable screams that originally echoed in the God Realm disappeared, and the other main gods also showed relaxed expressions.

After a while, the noisy God Realm calmed down, and the main gods were finally able to sit down at the table calmly and discuss the next thing.

"Apollo! Why are you looking for Zheng Shu? You don't even listen to your sister. Do you just want to drive him out so quickly?!"

The still angry Moon Goddess Artemis was the first to attack, slamming the table hard, but combined with her expression, she looked more like a child playing nonsense.

Apollo, who was sitting opposite her, had a rare tangled expression on his originally expressionless face.

"Okay, letting him leave early is the conclusion we reached through voting. Since we chose to vote, we should obey the results."

Queen Hera majestically stopped Artemis's nonsense. Others present had no objection to Hera's statement. Even Hades, who had previously looked angry, nodded helplessly.

"That's right, Artemis, and no matter how you think about it, it would be a better thing to let him leave as soon as possible. After all, the fluctuations in the restraint force are becoming more and more severe, even if I borrow Ares's body To resist the inhibitory force, it can only temporarily affect the scope of Greek culture. Judging from the mutation of the magic pig, the inhibitory force has mobilized other 'coincidences' from other areas to attack him."

Zeus crossed his hands with a serious face and placed them on his chin, making the classic posture of Commander Ikari. Unfortunately, his face was swollen from Hades' beating just now. He looked like a pig's head, which was really unacceptable. People become serious.

"Pfft!"

A sneer suddenly spread in the silent God Realm, and Zeus slapped the table with an angry face.

"Athena, what are you laughing at? Am I saying something funny?!"

"No, you heard wrong."

Athena still had that cold expression, making the goddess of victory look as unapproachable as a cold mountain.

"I can clearly see you smiling!"

Zeus slapped the table angrily again, but unfortunately coupled with his swollen pig head, it was hard to feel his anger.

"It's not me. The one who laughed just now was Hades." Athena threw the blame on Hades without any restraint.

"It's me, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

And Hades, who had been sitting at the corner of the table since just now, and his whole body was filled with low pressure, took the blame without hesitation. His eyes were staring at Zeus, with eagerness in his eyes, as if Zeus Once you talk back to him, he won't hesitate to do it again.

"Ahem...then...that's a good laugh. The performance I performed just now was funny. Do you want me to perform another one?"

Zeus, who was originally aggressive, immediately put away his momentum without hesitation after seeing the anger in Hades's eyes. He even ignored his dignity as the king of gods and walked towards Hades with a smile on his face. , looks like a comedian.

"No, it's actually my fault this time, I'm sorry."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Hades, who had always had a cold face and looked as if he wanted to fight again at any time, was the first to apologize.

"Judging from the information collected by Aphrodite, the choice you made is indeed the optimal solution. I attacked you because of my own selfish thoughts, so I'm sorry!"

"Ah no no no..."

Hades' sudden and sincere apology made Zeus a little confused about how to respond. The god-king, who was so powerful that he could destroy the world, now acted unusually jerky, and even had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"I will not attend the next meeting. Even now, I still have selfish thoughts in my heart that cannot be adjusted, so it will not affect your judgment. I will return to the underworld and seal myself off for hundreds of years to atone for my sins."

Hades stood up very decisively and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he glanced at Zeus again and remained silent for a while.

"You don't have to show such a posture. After all, we are warships produced in the same batch, so you don't have to carry everything yourself. You can rely on us when necessary."

After saying these words, Hades left the God Realm without hesitation, leaving only the other gods looking at each other.

"He's right. Anyway, we've already made a decision before. There's no point in having another meeting now, right?"

The first person to break the silence was Fire God Hephaestus, who had been silent since just now.

The symbiotic analyzer on his face and body was once again damaged. It seemed that making the "auxiliary device" for Zheng Shu was also a big load for him.

He stood up from his seat and glanced at the other gods, finally stopping on Apollo.

"Apollo, thank you. If it weren't for your harp I wouldn't be able to complete that work. I owe you a favor and will find a way to repair your harp as soon as possible."

"No, it's my need to hunt down the arrogant person who killed my followers. That thing was meant to be a reward for his help. I owe you a favor."

Apollo also stood up expressionlessly, glanced at his still angry sister and felt helpless, but still waved his hand and asked her to leave with him.

Although Artemis puffed up her face with anger, she still followed Apollo and left the God Realm honestly.

In major matters, Apollo is more in line with the status of "elder brother".

Hephaestus smiled and left with them.

With these gods as a starting point, the remaining gods also left the divine world one after another. Just as Hades said, they had already completed the voting and taken actions before, and it would be useless to hold any meetings now. No help.

Soon, the divine world returned to its former peace, leaving only Zeus, whose face was swollen from being beaten, and the Queen Hera.

"Okay, we're all gone, you don't have to face that face anymore."

Hera sat on the other side of the table, looking at Zeus's face with some disgust.

Zeus didn't say much, but as if time skipped, his face returned to that majestic look in the next moment.

"Hiss...that guy from Hades is really ruthless."

Zeus wiped his face, seemingly still feeling frightened.

"Now tell me, how far has it come?" Hera ignored this guy's showmanship and still stared at him with cold eyes.

"Hahaha, am I being so obvious?"

"Even Hades can see it, can others still not see it? Tell me, is the pressure caused by the inhibitory force now very great?"

"It's very big. Even with the help of Ares, which can be regarded as a complete combat-type forward mecha, to correct and suppress the probabilistic events caused by the suppression force in the Greek area, his body is a combat-type mecha after all. , there is still a considerable gap with Aphrodite in terms of computing power, and now it is completely unsustainable."

In the moon-shaped world, the restraining forces on the earth are divided into two types: Alaya, who prays as a human being to avoid the destruction of mankind, and Gaia, who prays as a planet: to extend the life of the planet.

In essence, it refers to a safety device made by the collective unconscious. The inhibitory force is an invisible vortex of power. They appear at the moment an important factor that destroys the world occurs and erase this factor.

It will appear on a different scale depending on the object to be erased, and it will appear with a higher "value" than the object that can definitely win.

Because inhibitory forces are invisible, the way they accomplish their goals is generally to use various coincidences, or the "butterfly effect" to promote the development of events.

Generally speaking, the most commonly used method of restraint is to use various coincidences to create a "hero" and use accidental events to let that hero deal with the factors that destroy the world.

What Zeus did during this period was to use the high-performance computer on Ares's still relatively complete body to calculate the probabilistic coincidences in the entire Greek area and deal with them. .

He has been using this method to hinder the inhibitory force's "assassination" of Zheng Shu.

Originally, this matter was still within the range that Zeus could handle, but in recent times, with the rapid improvement of Zheng Shu's strength, the frequency of restraints has become higher and higher, and he can't hold it back anymore.

Some time ago, through the intelligence detected by the beauty goddess Aphrodite, Zeus knew that the restraint force was already quite "irritable", and what happened next was not something they could handle.

The only possible solution is to let Zheng Shu let them meet in advance before the "accident" arranged by the restraining force reaches its maximum, and rely on Zheng Shu's unique ability to tide over the difficulties.

The important thing is that if Zhong Zheng Shu can really survive this "accident", then he will also have the ability to resist the inhibitory force.

"So we really can't intervene next. I just hope that the little guy's special power is indeed strong enough."

Hera sighed, and then looked at Zeus curiously.

"But...you are already so weak for that little guy, do you need to work so hard?"

"Of course, I like humans the most! Humans are the miracles of this universe, and they are incomprehensible elves! Although that little guy later changed his bloodline to dragons, he is still human in spirit. Since he is still human, Then it’s within my protection! I will never allow humans to die because of this inexplicable power in the area I rule!”

Listening to Zeus's impassioned speech, Hera silently walked up to him. Under Zeus's doubtful eyes, she swept him to the ground with a fierce sweep.

Bang bang bang!

"Is this the reason why you find mortals to mate with every once in a while?! Ah? You're obviously just a pervert, but you still dare to speak so confidently! Do you know how much trouble your perverted behavior has caused us?!"

Her slender legs stepped on Zeus's body mercilessly one after another. Hera even used her own divine power, and the revealed power made the entire divine world tremble.

"I will never give in!"

Facing Hera's wrath, Zeus, who was lying on the ground, protected his vitals and showed an expression that he would rather die than surrender.

Feeling that there was no way to correct the non-recyclable garbage under her feet, Hera ignored him and left the God Realm with an angry groan.

For a moment, the only sound left in the God Realm was the hum of Zeus lying on the ground.

…

…

Zheng Shu, who was flying quickly on the sea, didn't know what was happening in the God Realm, but he also knew very well that it was definitely not just Vera's fault that Apollo was so anxious to get him out.

However, since he had just unlocked a skill and obtained all the enhanced templates of the twelve main gods, Zheng Shu's self-confidence was unprecedentedly strong and he was not worried about any difficult problems he would encounter on the road.

Facing the coordinates given to him by Apollo, Zheng Shu quickly flew towards the target. Flying at supersonic speed, it only took him a few dozen minutes to catch up with the target, which took him more than half a year to cross, and arrived. destination.

However, this coordinate location is the location predicted by Apollo before, so the other party has naturally been deserted long ago.

Zheng Shu searched the target location and indeed found the location of the bonfire. It seemed that the other party had left for a few days and should be found soon.

After thinking about it, Zheng Shu let go of his senses, carefully checked his surroundings, and finally found a gathering place of humans dozens of kilometers away.

Without much hesitation, Zheng Shu rushed towards the human gathering place, but this time his speed dropped a lot, mainly because he kept searching for traces of human existence around him along the way.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Zheng Shu made a suspicious sound and changed his walking direction, arriving at a bush in the distance.

He picked up a broken vine on the ground and examined it carefully.

The vines must have been on the ground for several days, and even the fractures have become a bit jagged, but Zheng Shu can still see that they are cuts by human sharp tools.

It seemed that I was lucky and found the clue quickly.

Looking up and searching around, Zheng Shu quickly found the location where the vine was cut, and then found the road that the target had cut with a sharp weapon.

Although after a few days, various weed branches grew again, these newly grown plants were also a mark in themselves.

Zheng Shu sneered and quickened his pace following the traces left by the other party.

Soon, at dusk, Zheng Shu followed the trace and arrived at the previously explored human gathering place.

"who?!"

When Zheng Shu had just bypassed a hunting trap, a roar came from beside him. The language used was not a common language in ancient Greece, and it sounded quite unfamiliar.

Fortunately, Zheng Shu has now gained divinity and has some language proficiency, so he can understand what the other party is saying.

Zheng Shu was very indifferent to the sudden appearance of this group of people. After all, he had already noticed someone ambushing around them during his previous investigation.

Looking up, he saw a group of savages wrapped in animal skins surrounding him, holding various weapons in their hands.

Zheng Shu frowned as he looked at the stone spear made of wooden sticks and stones tied together in the hands of the guy standing in front of him. This was something he did not expect.

The other party's level of civilization was much lower than he expected, and it was even in the Stone Age.

Although he actually saw a lot of people using stone tools in ancient Greece, due to the intervention of the gods, at least one of the strongest combatants in the village used metal products.

If you really meet someone who uses stone, it must be because the quality of the stone is much better than ordinary metal, just like the pillars of the temple that Hercules once used.

However, the guy in front of him is pretty good among pure-blood mortals, but he still uses an ordinary stone spear. Although the tip of this stone spear looks much finer than the weapons next to it, the material is indeed just ordinary stone.

The level of civilization is not very high, and it doesn't look very friendly. If you follow the idea of ​​not wanting to cause trouble during the escape, the target will probably not have much interaction with this village.

"who are you?"

Seemingly seeing Zheng Shu staying there and thinking for too long, the leader once again raised his stone spear and stepped forward to force him.

Zheng Shu took one look at this guy and decided to give it a try first, but before that, he had to make them a little friendlier.

Buzz…

Accompanied by the trembling hum of the atmosphere, a strong aura emanated from Zheng Shu's body, and pressure like the deep sea instantly fell on everyone around him.

Zheng Shu was very measured in his actions, and the intensity of the pressure he unleashed on each person was different. Depending on their personal strength, they were stuck on the edge of their endurance limit.

Seeing everyone's legs shaking, as if they were about to fall to the ground in the next moment, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction and put down his momentum.

The people who originally surrounded Zheng Shu felt that the pressure on their bodies disappeared, and they all looked at the guy in front of them with fear.

Because he didn't understand the language of these guys, Zheng Shu simply mobilized his mental power to break through the defense limitations of their brains, letting his voice echo in everyone's minds, and forcing them to understand the meaning of the words.

"I ask, you answer."

Hearing the sudden voice in their heads, everyone looked at each other.

The guy in the lead reacted the fastest. After taking a look at Zheng Shu, he immediately dropped the stone spear in his hand, knelt down in front of Zheng Shu and kept worshiping.

"Yes, Great God!"

Zheng Shu's face darkened and he decided to ignore what this guy called him.

"Have you seen any strangers here recently? If so, do you know where he went?"

"There are great gods."

The leader answered very decisively. After all, for a small tribe like theirs, the appearance of a stranger was a very surprising thing.

Following his description, Zheng Shu also roughly understood the situation here.

They did see the target coming here a few days ago, but just as Zheng Shu expected, because he was very vigilant, the target did not have much contact with them. The two sides only retreated after a brief confrontation.

If that were the case, the clues would probably have ended here, but the leader's next words rekindled Zheng Shu's hope.

The guy didn't know what method he used to steal a young man from the tribe when he left.

For such a tribe, every young person is a very important labor force, which is why they are so violent during this period.

Otherwise, even if you were more vigilant when meeting strangers before, they would not show such obvious hostility.

young people?

Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't quite know what the target wanted to do by kidnapping a person, but according to the cultists' ideas, it was most likely to be a sacrifice.

But no matter what, he at least had a new clue.

"The kidnapped man, do you have anything here that he used?"

"have!"

After answering this question, the leader didn't say anything more. Instead, he got up from the ground and ran towards his tribe.

Soon, with strength beyond ordinary people, the leader ran back again, and this time he held a broken stone knife in his hand.

"Master, this is the last thing we found where he disappeared."

"Well done."

Feeling the two entangled auras above, Zheng Shu showed a satisfied smile.

With a wave of his hand, compressed grain powder blocks weighing several tons fell on the ground next to him and were arranged neatly.

The people kneeling on the ground were startled by the sudden appearance of the pile of grain, and immediately smelled the unique aroma of fried flour.

"I'll take this stone knife. These things next to it are considered as rewards for you. You can eat them directly, or you can boil them in water to make batter."

By the time the tribe leader reacted, Zheng Shu's figure had disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other again, and some people swallowed involuntarily when they smelled the fragrance coming from the pile of things in front of them, and their stomachs also made gurgling sounds.

After all, in such primitive tribes, it is very common to go hungry and have a full meal.

The leader recalled the strength shown by the man just now, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, reached out and picked up a compressed grain block and took a bite.

It was difficult to bite at first, but as soon as he took his mouth, the unique aroma of grain made him addicted to it.

Although you will definitely choke when you first stutter such fried noodles, for primitive tribes who still rely on hunting to obtain food, this taste is already considered a delicacy.

"Quick! Move back!"

Carefully putting the remaining compressed grain pieces in his hands into his own animal hide, the leader greeted him and arranged for the tribesmen to transport the things back together.

During the transportation process, he kept thanking the "great god" who suddenly appeared in his heart.

…

…

Zheng Shu didn't care what the leader of the primitive tribe was thinking. After getting the stone knife entwined with aura, he left there and flew high into the sky, quietly waiting for the sky to darken.

When the last rays of the sun set and the world fell into darkness, Zheng Shu also activated the Moon God's blessing.

The bright moonlight fell from the sky, covering an area hundreds of kilometers away with a diameter of dozens of kilometers.

"Got you!"

(PS: To summarize, the total of the monthly votes on both sides last month was less than 750, so I rounded it up and calculated it as 750. That means I owe 15,000 words this month, which is okay, not too stressful∠ (　∠)_.

Today I’ll start with a small update of 2,000 words. )
