Chapter 80 The Tomb of the Gods
Chapter 80 The Tomb of the Gods
The City of All Powers was supposed to be one of the most vibrant and influential cities in the entire universe.
But now, on the entire golden, gleaming planet, besides the corpses scattered everywhere and the golden divine blood splattered in all directions, perhaps only those five living people still standing on this land remain.
"My story isn't hard to understand. When you and I were attacked by Thanos's army, we escaped separately, do you remember?"
Kogg stood before everyone like a tour guide, his tall figure exuding a powerful presence, yet his cheerful tone made him incredibly approachable.
Hanlu and John looked around this sacred land with some curiosity.
It's still such a tacky gold color.
"After that, some of us were actually arrested as well."
However, at that time I protected a group of Asgardians and helped them escape to Earth, but I myself was captured by them.
At first, they captured me as a prisoner, wanting me to be their henchman, but I refused to work for them because they were bad people, and I would never aid and abet evil.
"Yes, that's right, Koger, this is what a hero should do! I'm so sorry to have made you suffer so much."
Thor felt a little ashamed when he heard this. After all, this guy had been fighting alongside him since Sakaar, and later he fought to the death with him against the Death Spore. Just when they were finally able to live a peaceful life, Thanos ruined everything.
That damned Thanos!
Kogg, however, was unmoved by Saul's apology and words of comfort.
"It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."
During my time in captivity, I noticed that things seemed to be getting strange on the spaceship; there were screams and gnawing sounds everywhere.
I even saw those four-legged beasts tearing at each other, frantically biting each other, and then somehow they were at peace again, but it was so terrifying.”
Perhaps to convey his terror, Kogg's body trembled slightly. However, his words also made everyone ponder.
Yes, that's right.
What happened on Thanos's ship may be that the zombie crisis has spread to the ship as well.
That's why, when they snapped their fingers, they didn't choose to turn the entire universe back to its original state.
Maybe the zombie crisis has already started spreading throughout the universe!
"And then, are you alright?"
Thor asked with some concern, but then he changed his mind—
Wait a minute, he's a stone man, how could something happen to him?
"I'm fine. None of them paid any attention to me. I escaped and stole one of their spaceships. In the end, I crashed on an unnamed planet."
Fortunately, the god on this planet was a good god, and he took me to the City of All Power, which is here.
I plan to travel around here for a while, and maybe meet some more deities to see if they recognize you. Then I'll set off to find you.
Oh, so you're really here for tourism?
Hanlu initially wanted to complain about the security measures in the All-Powerful City, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
After all, the rulers of multiple pantheons, and the most powerful beings, are all here. What can they possibly do?
"So what exactly happened? Where are the gods? Where did they all go? And what about all of this on earth?"
Well, actually, seeing the traces of battle along the way, and the occasional bloodstains, they could guess some things.
But they still refused to believe it, after all...
These creatures have lived for tens of thousands of years; even pigs can fly by now, right?
And that was Zeus, who was on par with Odin!
Kogg finally showed some emotion, shaking his head in frustration.
At this moment, everyone arrived at the most important meeting hall in the City of All Power, which was the place where Zeus originally displayed his divine power.
"They're all here! But I want you to be prepared first."
Kogg paused mysteriously for a moment, then turned around and gently pressed down on everyone's hands to calm them down.
However, these guys who survived the zombie crisis have seen it all.
They even touched the Infinity Stones!
With these thoughts in mind, apart from John slightly pressing his hand on his Evolution Trust, everyone else watched with relatively relaxed expressions as Kogg pushed open the heavy, golden door for them.
This is also true.
As the gate slowly opened, everyone gasped in astonishment at the horrific scene inside.
"No, no, no, how could that be?"
Hanlu immediately assumed a defensive stance, while John beside her had already held the Evolution Truster at his waist, ready to transform at any moment.
Even Loki and Valkyrie had silently gripped their weapons.
Thor rushed into the hall in a panic, accidentally crushing the skeletons of some unknown deity with each step.
It can only be said that the current battle situation is truly too brutal.
From Hanlu's perspective, the entire Golden Hall looked as if it had been thoroughly washed by some kind of golden liquid. Countless skeletons of various shapes were piled up here, some humanoid, some dragon-shaped, and some indescribable.
Speaking of which, what kind of god is that tentacle-shaped thing, and what kind of god is that bun-shaped thing...?
Okay, he remembered that there really was a steamed bun god in the movie.
Hanlu suddenly thought of a very apt term from Norse mythology to describe the present moment—Ragnarok.
This place could practically be called a graveyard of gods. The remains of all sorts of deities are laid out here, and judging from their shriveled appearance, they look like…
"Yes, that's right. They were all drained of their divine blood and turned into the dried corpses they are now."
I finally managed to gather all the bodies I could collect and pile them together. I originally wanted to find a place to bury them, but I discovered there was gold everywhere. There was some soil in the garden, but it wasn't enough.
Well, originally, if the color tone were just darkened a bit more, it could have been used as a scene from a horror movie script. However, because Kogg's joyful voice gradually became somewhat inappropriate, at least Hanlu's feeling of unease was gone.
"Thanks, buddy, you're a real ray of sunshine."
Hanlu patted the stone man's strong arm—well, it really was just like a stone.
"Thanks, buddy. You're not the first person to say that to me."
The group watched as Thor walked among the corpses of the gods, his face filled with utter grief.
Perhaps only this kind-hearted guy would pour his emotions into people he doesn't even know—
Perhaps they recognize some of them.
"Alright, Koger, what I want to know is, who did all this?"
And more importantly, did that guy leave?
As soon as Hanlu finished speaking, everyone felt a tightness in their hearts, and even the air seemed to freeze.
