Chapter 1195: King Colchis's Trap (Part II)

While the captain of the Argo, Iason, and the king of Colchis, Aeetes, confronted each other with an invisible aura, Xunxin and Shenqi were also monitoring the condition of the Argo's crew at the same time. Of course, it's not just the Argo crew that may have an impact on the plans of the Soul Seeker and the others, but the gods who protect the Argo crew and do things during the meeting. As for the combat power of the Argo crew itself, since Iasong and his party had considered the possibility of forcing King Colchis to hand over the Golden Fleece by force, then Xunxin and the others would naturally be prepared to deal with the Argo crew's attempt to kidnap them.

"Thin leather armor, weapons forged from bronze or pig iron, and immortal soldiers who have refined hundreds of runes and steel, and have been strengthened by the cultivation system technology, as long as their minds are still under the instinctive influence of biological advantages and disadvantages, it is impossible for Yi Ah Song and the others to act against King Colchis under the protection of thousands of soldiers with armor."

As Xun Xin said, Iason did have the idea of getting King Colchis to hand over the Golden Fleece by personal force, but this idea immediately dissipated from Iason's mind after seeing the dense array of soldiers in the palace. Even a demigod whose physical strength is far greater than that of a human would not be stupid enough to compare the body of a demigod with a steel shell compared to a horde of tin cans. There was no other way but to pay respectful but graceful to Aetes, the king of Colchis, by leaning slightly in respect.

"Dear Immortal King, I am a prince from the Kingdom of Thesalia, a disciple of the great sage of Caron, Iason, and I have come to the Kingdom of Colchis on behalf of the gods of Olympus in order to obtain the world-famous treasure from your kingdom - the Golden Fleece! In accordance with the will of the gods, King Colchis will give me the Golden Fleece, and the gods of Olympus will grant you and your kingdom eternal glory! ”

Without any concealment, Iason, under the watchful eye of the dense array of armored soldiers and King Aethes of Colchis, solemnly stated the Argo's goal of coming to the kingdom of Colchis. It was not for personal desires that he took the Golden Fleece, but for the will of the gods and the glory of Olympus. Aetes was taken aback by Iason's decisiveness, and since he had come here as the prince of the city-state, it was morally constrained to annihilate those who tried to steal the Golden Fleece. At this time, let alone do it against Iason, even if Aetes ordered the arrest of the crew of the Argo, I am afraid that the gods would intervene under the pretext of violating virtue and so on.

With an oracle from the gods, Aetes has learned how Argo's adventure will benefit the gods, and he has realized that he and the god of magic are both victims of the Olympian gods to expand their faith. Unwilling to let his country fall apart, Aethes did have the urge to destroy Iason, but the gods of Olympus would not let go of destroying their existence that had been carefully prepared for more than a hundred years, and Ares, the god of war once worshipped by the Kingdom of Colchis, would be happy to completely destroy the country that he had personally cursed.

'I, what am I supposed to do, I can't kill Iason here, but I can't let Iason take the Golden Fleece... Hecate, god of magic, your people are making difficult choices, please give me the oracle to break the trouble! ’

Constantly monitoring the progress of the Argo's blockade, both Xunxin and Shenqi noticed King Colchith's strangeness. Shen Qi understood the predicament of King Colchis with the connection between the god of magic and the believers, and immediately invoked his divine power to form a projection of the god of magic in the mind of King Aetes of Colchis. Without waiting for King Colchis to ask, a majestic yet loving voice echoed through the consciousness of Aetes through a spiritual link.

"Aetheus! No need to panic, according to my will, guide the crew of the Argo to the Golden Fleece. Their fate will end under the Golden Fleece, and you will continue to have an endless lifespan and reign over Colchis ... ”

The oracle of Hecate, the god of magic, the current patron saint of the kingdom of Colchis, reassured Aetes, and from the future constructed by the gods, Aetes did indeed witness the tragic end of the Argo's crew. Although he had gone through great hardships to get here, being the king of a nation would not allow Aetes to show any mercy to the crew of the Argonauts, who were trying to overthrow the rule. Although Iason himself promised Aetes the protection of the gods, Eetes, who was well aware of the habits of the gods, was fully aware of the spiritual habits of the gods, and after receiving the information from the gods, he completely understood that the Olympian gods wanted to use the kingdom of Colchis as a sacrifice for the spread of faith.

Ares' curse of immortality against Aetes is directly related to the Golden Fleece, and the loss of the Golden Fleece means the curse of immortality and the loss of dominance. Not only that, but the curse of the gods even more severely encompasses the entire population of the kingdom of Colchis, and it can even be said that even if the curse of the gods is not powerful enough to bring the kingdom to ruin, the Olympian god system will send enough gods to create natural disasters to force the residents of the kingdom of Colchis who feel fear to flee to other gods.

"Abandon the inconsequential believers in the marginal areas, let the believers fully experience the power of the Olympian gods, and then lead them to flee to other gods. And after the gods who have an urgent need for human faith unknowingly contain the believers who have been brainwashed by fear by the Olympian god system, the believers in the territory will know more or less about the Olympian god system before they know it. Belief comes from cognition, and humans who recognize the existence of the Olympian god may not believe in the gods of Olympus, but they will also have a small amount of faith by virtue of the knowledge of the god's name. For the Olympian god system, whose faith is a little barren, the practice of driving marginal believers to infiltrate other surrounding god systems and covertly spreading faith by humans who are regarded as the source of faith is really a brilliant strategy ahead of its time. ”

Even the Heart-Seeking couldn't help but admire the foresight of the Olympus God System, if it weren't for the need to force the mythical ritual to go wrong by changing the predetermined direction of the myth, according to the results of the analysis of the Starship Group and the Infinite Apostles on the technological side that assisted the Heart-Seeking Operation, the Olympus God System's approach would reverse the disadvantage of insufficient faith, so that after the end of the God Era, the World Tree God System, the Danu God System, and even the Buddhist forces all have myths and legends left by the spread of faith.

"If Operation Argo fails and fails to spread the faith to other gods, the Olympian system will be at a disadvantage in faith. And in the upcoming invasion, the end of the Olympus god system will be even more tragic than the end of the Argo. ”

The heart-seeking pupils reflected the Argo crew following the instructions of Aetes and stepping into the trap, where thousands of dragontooth soldiers awaited them, beasts mobilized using the formation set up by Akalin and Amada Rin, and poisonous dragons known for their ferocity and overwhelming strength in the territory of the Kingdom of Colchis...
