“Splash~”
The icy Chaos Water slapped against the frost-covered earth, and a towering warship sailed through the thick fog, slowly coming to shore.
At last, they had arrived!
Before the ship had fully steadied, several agile figures eagerly opened the hatch, lowered the gangplank, and rushed towards this new world.
However, after a short observation, everything before their eyes was a deep disappointnt.
Here was a land of cold and darkness, where countless snowflakes and ice crystals danced in the air. The swirling snow and dense clouds enveloped everything as tightly as a thick fog, leaving no trace of light, an utterly pitch-black, chillingly terrifying, and bone-piercingly cold world.
At the sa ti, the ground beneath their feet was covered with layers of frozen soil and ice blocks, hard as iron when stepped upon, and surrounded by perilous glaciers with sharp slopes that were formidable to behold.
“Achoo!”
...
Jason, who had led the team out of the ship to explore, had only walked a few steps before he couldn’t help but sneeze violently, his body curling up as a layer of pale blue frost ford on his eyebrows and hair.
Feeling his blood and spirit nearly frozen, Jason quickly began to shiver as he reminded,
“Cast… casting spells… quickly…”
Seeing his condition, Orpheus, the son of Apollo, quickly reached for the lyre inside his coat to summon light and flas to dispel the bone-chilling cold for his comrades.
But as soon as he exerted force on his fingertips, the frozen, brittle strings of the lyre snapped with a sound, nearly slicing off Orpheus’s entire finger.
Helpless, he could only summon all of Apollo’s divine blood within him.
Golden light suddenly burst forth from Orpheus, bringing a glimr of warmth and light to this cold and dark world.
But before the Argo Heroes around him could truly feel the warmth, they were shocked to find that the divine flas on Orpheus’s body were flickering violently in the cold current, soon becoming as weak as candles in the wind.
Orpheus, sowhat incredulous, pushed Apollo’s Divine Power within him to the extre, trying to maintain the continuous burning of the divine flas.
However, as another cold current swept over, the golden flas burning on his body unexpectedly turned into a strange ice blue color.
A mont later, the flas ceased to dance, turning into clusters of burning pale blue ice crystals.
Orpheus, as if struck by lightning, could not help but vomit a mouthful of Divine Blood mixed with ice crystals. His face turned pale with exhaustion, his skin gradually freezing into a necrotic cyan-gray, and his body fell stiffly to the ground.
Fortunately, a hand reached out from behind and gently lifted him up, the warmth lting the chill that had penetrated his body.
As his body gradually regained sensation, Orpheus looked up with a mix of sha and gratitude at the figure that had appeared behind him;
“Thank you, my lord…”
Luo En nodded slightly and glanced at Jason, whose complexion was also frozen to an iron blue. He said in a deep voice, “Orpheus is injured; he needs soone to look after him. You take him back to the ship first. I will continue to explore with the others.”
Upon hearing this, Jason, as if pardoned, hurriedly supported Orpheus beside him and ran toward the Argo, protected by a large magic formula, as if fleeing for their lives.
At the front of the ship, Hers, the Traveler God, led the two little fellows, nearly frozen into popsicles, inside the door and then, leaning on the Comrce God’s Staff, ca to Luo En’s side. He frowned deeply as he looked at the relentless ice and snowstorm surrounding them, “Isn’t this place’s climate a bit too extre? Even Apollo’s Divine Blood can’t handle it?”
Luo En gave Hers a sideways glance, a cold snort escaping him, “I’d like to ask you, is this Egypt?”
“Uh, it’s supposed to be the Divine Era, right?” Hers offered a sheepish smile. Under Luo En’s unfriendly gaze, he shrank his neck and coughed softly, “Shall we go back? Try another route?”
Upon hearing this, Luo En contemptuously looked at Hers, “Are you sure if we change routes you can find the Divine Era you ntioned?”
Hers just smiled and looked away, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.
The na of Thoth, the God of Wisdom, was sothing he had only heard in passing, purely a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse; had he truly known how to get to the Divine Era of Egypt, he would have gone to explore on his own and would never have left such an opportunity to an outsider.
“Let’s go, follow and have a look ahead.” Luo En said resignedly, adding the classic self-comforting line, “We’ve co all this way…”
Hers nodded in agreent, then waved the Comrce God’s Staff, blessing the group with Extre Speed, and took the lead.
Under the protection of Chief God’s Authority, the team’s speed imdiately increased manifold. The heroes pressed on through the severe cold and blizzard, starting to explore deeper into the continent.
Ten kiloters, twenty kiloters, thirty kiloters…
One hundred kiloters, five hundred kiloters, one thousand kiloters…
As the exploration progressed, Hers’s complexion grew increasingly pale.
This accursed place was a newborn Divine Era, its aspects untouched and primitive, not only filled with harsh cold and storms but also becoming more inhospitable as they delved further inland.
After advancing about a thousand kiloters more, Hers, who had been providing protection to the other Divine Blood Heroes, was beginning to falter.
With no other choice, Hers stopped and turned back to warn Luo En,
“We can’t go on any further, otherwise returning will be a serious problem!”
Luo En looked at the exhausted expressions of the Argo Heroes, their bodies covered with frost, and after a mont of deep thought, he made arrangents:
“Then you take them back to the ship to rest. I’ll go ahead alone.”
“Okay!”
Hers quickly agreed, sighing with relief.
He had indeed feared that this one would stubbornly continue to delve into the endless blizzard with them, in search of the so-called “opportunity.”
