I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

Athena said:

Have you ever heard of the 'Invisible Island'?

The Book of the Sons of the Greek Gods: Chapter 120 Poseidon

This land was originally a huge painting that the gods could casually sketch in their hands.

Some people are trapped by the random thoughts that the gods casually scribbled over, and never manage to escape them in their entire lives.

Some people, however, are happy to become figures in the paintings of the gods.

The waves surged, the salty sea breeze blew by, and the fragrance of the deep sea reached my nose.

"Without a ship, how can we cross the sea and reach the 'invisible island'?"

Without any means of transportation, Bai Zhi couldn't think of a way to set off for the time being.

According to the compass and the guidance of the goddess Athena, the Island of No Return is not far away, about a thousand kilometers from the mainland.

Thick fog blanketed the outskirts of the Invisible Island, while ferocious sea beasts blocked sailors attempting to approach, and surging waves along the coast prevented ships from getting close.

Multiple lines of defense have made the Invisible Island a legend in the eyes of a few Yue--Yi#SanSiLinQiErSi, the silk-wearing people.

"Naval warfare? It seems that none of the many Bai Zhi have experience with it. The closest one is none other than Carbonis of the Sky Sea."

As Bai Zhi was making her comments, her vision suddenly turned silvery-white as Espeon shared the skill Predict the Future.

Due to factors such as the rules of the world, Jason, who ranks among the top three in strength among the Bai Zhi, mostly utilizes divine blessings, while the sharing of the other Bai Zhi is reflected in improving overall quality and spiritual power.

Occasionally, shared skills can prove surprisingly useful.

Pausing her ability to foresee the future, Bai Zhi's lips curled into a smile as she forged the Inherent Barrier of Immortal Body.

A streak of red light leaped down from the cliff and splashed into the sea.

The surging waves continued to engulf everything as always; the sea was silent, merciless, and indiscriminately submerged all.

But at this moment, things are different.

Beneath the surging waves of the sea, a giant eddy suddenly appeared, sweeping away numerous sea creatures and predatory birds, until a deep and enormous shadow rose from the seabed and occupied a large part of the sea surface.

A true reflection of thalassophobia.

Slippery, twisted tentacles took root from the seabed and reached towards the sky, accompanied by a whale-like roar that gradually grew louder as the giant tentacles slapped the surface of the sea.

The birds on the sea chose to leave immediately, and the wild beasts that lived on the cliffs tucked their tails between their legs and fled.

The ever-growing tentacles struggled and thrashed about from the seabed, the shadow growing larger and larger, until a certain moment.

thump--

The enormous sea monster broke through the surface of the sea and was exposed to the sun.

A variant resembling an octopus and squid, its tentacles alone are longer than the masts of a large sailboat, and its total length exceeds 100 meters. When the sea monster floats on the surface of the sea, it looks like a moving tentacle island.

The Kraken, a giant sea monster from mythology.

"Not bad, I'll use my immortal body to pull you out from the depths of the ocean despite the water pressure."

Bai Zhi's tone carried a hint of lingering fear. Although he was not skilled in naval combat, he used his precognitive abilities to locate Kraken's position. With a single underwater forced landing, he landed directly on Kraken's head. Combined with the Sun's Inherent Barrier - Unbreakable, he forcefully tore apart Kraken's tough muscles, threatening its life and forcing it to obediently leave the deep seabed.

"Eryi T3K Wuqi. Jiuliu { Delete Errenren, keep your word, the strong prey on the weak, I will only obey your command once, I am a descendant of the sea god, if you break your promise, the deep sea will become your eternal enemy."

The Kraken, a giant sea monster in mythology, possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans and knew how to compromise when its life was threatened.

In addition, nearly 80% of the sea monsters are related to the breeding behavior of Poseidon when he first descended into the sea, so they can be considered to be related by some means.

"Don't worry, unless it's an emergency, I wouldn't dare to risk having anything to do with you children of the ocean."

Having already gotten into such a huge mess with Zeus, Bai Zhi really didn't want to get involved with Poseidon, another formidable enemy.

Moreover, he is really not good at naval warfare. If Kraken were to become wary again, the outcome of this battle might be completely different.

Kneeling on top of the Kraken's head, his left hand contained the power to "crush anything," controlling the life and death of the sea monster at any moment to prevent it from going back on its word.

The compass on his right hand gave the exact location of the destination, the 'Invisible Island'.

"Proceed at full speed towards the eleven o'clock direction." Having determined their location, Kraken, under Bai Zhi's command, set off into the depths of the sea.

Bai Zhi was unaware that on the original cliff face...

Athena, the goddess of victory, in her white robes and long gown, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods, are watching everything unfold.

“Uncle Poseidon, you have seen that child. What do you think of him?” Athena asked. She knew that Poseidon could hear her. The sea was Poseidon’s domain, his eyes, his mouth, and his body.

"I believe that hardship, boredom, and setbacks are endless. Strength is the best voice. If you are too weak, all your efforts and actions will be in vain."

A deep blue light condensed around him, forming a seawater clone. Poseidon remotely controlled this clone to communicate with Athena.

He had no problem with Bai Zhi; after all, she was a devout child (a believer). However, Poseidon, the ruler of the sea, had many devout followers. To put it bluntly, many creatures in the sea, even the ubiquitous fish, had a trace of Poseidon's blood.

At most, Bai Zhi was only glanced at; she didn't have the same initial goodwill as the other gods.

“Uncle Poseidon, let’s be frank. It’s no secret that you covet the position of the chief god Zeus. The path to breaking this deadlock is right in front of you. Aren’t you tempted? With the emergence of the seed of the fourth chief god, your speed in making moves is no less than everyone else’s. I’m afraid only Uncle Hades is still holding his ground.”

Athena smiled gently, but her words revealed Poseidon's ambitions without any politeness.

"...Zeus has occupied the position of chief god for too long. He holds the crown of Cronus, the symbol of dominion, and wields absolute power. The authority of the gods rests solely in his hands. Once someone becomes Zeus's enemy, they will be defeated in an instant; there is no other possibility."

"That's why we need to find another way. The Crown of Cronus, the proof of the Machine God's authority, is limited and completely defeated in reality. But by starting with the iterative inheritance of the Greek pantheon's cosmology and the succession of fathers and sons, we can indirectly destroy the Crown of Cronus, the proof of the Machine God's authority. Then, the position of the next chief god can be openly and fairly determined by each person's ability."

Poseidon gave an irrelevant answer, but Athena revealed a hidden rule known to the gods, causing Poseidon to glance at her repeatedly.

"You have great confidence in that child, believing that he is qualified to overthrow Zeus and, in the subsequent establishment of the fourth pantheon, completely suppress us, the remnants of the previous dynasty, and open up a truly meaningful fourth Greek pantheon."

Poseidon said, “Well, I will put in a little effort to see if this child’s (believer’s) path can lead to a new future.”

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 121 The Three Gorgon Sisters

The Island of No Return, an island in Greek mythology that occupies only one chapter.

It was a poor, desolate, and almost deserted island, but the inhabitants of the island were quite remarkable.

The embodiment of all male aspirations.

A goddess born as the perfect "idol" and "ideal woman".

Stheno, the eldest of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology, was a beautiful woman who was synonymous with elegance and nobility.

Euryale, the second daughter of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology, is a beautiful maiden whose flawlessness and innocence seem to have taken concrete form.

And, originally the local Earth Mother Goddess, she was forced to flee to the Island of No Return after being subjected to incomprehensible persecution by the strategies of the Olympian gods.

Medusa, the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology, was described by bards as a serpent monster who could turn everything she saw into stone.

Medusa.

She was the main reason the three sisters came to the Island of No Return.

The eldest and second daughters, unable to bear seeing their youngest sister die alone on a deserted island, sarcastically ordered her to take on all the chores and tasks for the sake of her two older sisters who had come with her.

The redeemed younger sister, filled with sorrow, helplessness, and self-reproach, took on the daily responsibility of caring for her two older sisters who had given up their extravagant lifestyles and decadent indulgences, falling from the stars in the heavens to the dust on earth. This was the only way she could atone for her sins.

On the small island, there was only a desolate temple and the sound of the rising and falling waves.

Dense forests, animals, and lavish offerings are all beyond our reach.

However, silence alone is more than enough.

The three sisters should just live a peaceful life.

Medusa was overjoyed and delighted to be able to live for her two sisters who would never change.

However, today, an uninvited guest arrived at the Island of No Return.

Amidst the crashing waves, long purple hair flowed smoothly, and a short black skirt could not conceal her feminine charm. Knee-length black stockings added to her sexy beauty. Medusa, the only one of the three sisters to have 'grown', was using her woven fishing net to catch fish, casting the net to supplement the food supply for the three sisters.

After a violent struggle, Medusa effortlessly pulled back the fishing net, which contained a lobster-like monster over three meters long. Its two ferocious giant pincers, like guillotines, were aimed at Medusa.

"Great strength! The meat in the pincers is absolutely fresh, delicious, and chewy. It's a long-awaited feast that the sisters have been looking forward to."

Medusa hummed a little tune, her slender, fair arms deftly blocking the joints of the giant pincers. With a flick of her wrist, the two pincers slipped off, and before the lobster-like monster could react, a small fist slammed into the center of its head, knocking it unconscious.

It's not that they're invincible, it's that we're worried about them dying prematurely and their meat becoming less flavorful.

"Oh no, the pliers came off prematurely. I've left the 'Teraba' (a type of pine tree) for too long, it'll taste bad. Hmm, I'll just cook it for lunch."

Medusa looked up at the sky, her eyes covered by a purple eye patch, but her vision was not affected.

"It's lunchtime right now, the sisters should be up by now. Okay, let's prepare a big surprise for the sisters for lunch."

Medusa took out the coal mined from the island's veins, piled it on the beach to make a stove shape, and used the sun's heat to ignite the flames.

Resources on the Invisible Island are scarce, and starting a fire is a luxury for cooking. Usually, the three sisters eat mostly sashimi, but today they had a surprise ingredient, so they used coal resources instead.

Although, Medusa would be willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant completely depleting all the resources of the Invisible Island, once her two sisters asked.

Medusa's culinary skills gradually improved through daily practice, transforming from the terrible dishes her sister ridiculed to something extraordinary. Now, even with only a few drops of sea salt, tree sap, and fish oil for seasoning, her cooking produces uniquely delicious dishes.

The lobster-type magical beasts harvested today, as seen with their own eyes, are even more delicious than they had predicted. Medusa specially took out her long-treasured seasoning ingredients, preparing to let her two sisters enjoy them to the fullest.

Unfortunately, according to Murphy's Law, if something can go wrong, it will, no matter how small the chance.

Boom——

The surging waves roared as the Kraken, a giant sea monster with many tentacles, swung its tentacles, breaking through the massive waves and the ocean currents surrounding the Invisible Island. It burst into the island, carrying enormous waves with it, and the surrounding reefs and whirlpools were smashed apart by its tentacles.

The name of the deep-sea monster is no ordinary one; it is a name formed from the terror experienced by countless people.

Finally, Kraken broke through the last defense of the Invisible Island, pierced through the mist and reached the end. The tentacles that had remained motionless until now slowly extended, piercing through the mist and sending the boy standing on the tentacles onto the island.

"I have reached an agreement, and we are even. You have the upper hand this time, but next time we meet, human, I will let you experience the terror of the deep sea."

Kraken's voice, like the roar of a whale, echoed around the island, filled with uncontrollable killing intent and hatred.

Whoever it was, their weakness was exploited while they were asleep, their life was threatened, and they were forced to sign a humiliating treaty.

If they don't retaliate after regaining their freedom, the name of the deep-sea monster will become a laughing stock among the creatures of the sea.

"I don't care. I'll settle scores and avenge wrongs. Life and death are in the hands of fate. If we face each other again in the future, whoever is less skilled and gets killed will have no one to blame but themselves." Bai Zhi shrugged. "To be honest, I advise you to stay away from me. When it comes to hard power, I'm much stronger than you."

"I'll remember that. Next time, I'll be fully prepared and use everything I have... to kill you!"

The vertical pupil in the center of the head of the giant Kraken squid stared intently at Bai Zhi, etching him deep into its memory, before slowly sinking into the ocean.

Gazing at the surging sea, Bai Zhi remained silent for a moment. He was right. Although the Kraken was hundreds of times his size, in battle, powerful beings were not necessarily large, but giant beings were definitely powerful.

Once the divine blessings of the sun and moon are activated simultaneously, Angelica dahurica can beat Kraken to a pulp.

But when the battlefield is at sea, Kraken's home turf, and he has no ability to fly, if he gets bogged down in a tug-of-war, he might not lose, but he certainly won't win.

Shaking her head, Bai Zhi turned around and prepared to venture deeper into the Invisible Island to find the three Gorgon sisters.

Athena's request couldn't be delayed any longer; he feared that if too much time passed, something even more unforeseen might happen in the arena.

But when you turn around, you are met with chains that look like venomous snakes.

The Book of the Sons of the Greek Gods: Chapter 122 It was not that they could not, but that they were unwilling.

slam-la-

The interlocking links of the chain produce a crisp, resonant sound.

A vast array of silver venomous snakes, forming a spiderweb, blocked any chance of their prey's escape.

Driven by inertia and sheer force, each fall of the chain represents a powerful and heavy lash.

The whipping was powerful enough to ignore any defense; the immortal body wasn't injured, but it hurt terribly.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and the clear bruises on his arms were slowly fading thanks to his incredible healing power, but the deep, bone-deep pain clung to his heart like nails.

"Sister, we have no past grudges or recent feuds. To resort to such a cruel act on our first meeting could kill someone. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk? If there's anything urgent, we can discuss it and perhaps resolve the matter?"

She dodged a series of chain whips with a few backflips. Anyway, Bai Zhi was determined not to touch them. All she had was a seven-stringed zither and a compass. She had no weapons and was going to try to take the hits with her bare hands.

It won't kill you, but it hurts a lot!

"You have committed unforgivable sins and deserve to become a living sacrifice to God."

The mature and gentle voice revealed a chilling coldness. She clung to the chained spider web with both hands and feet, her slender waist taut, and her long purple hair, reaching her waist, fell freely.

The only flaw, or perhaps the most fatally sexy, was that Medusa was soaked in seawater, with water droplets sliding down her body's curves.
