445: Since we are looking for excitement, let’s follow through to the end!
“You want to go in too?” Song Zhong looked at Memorial suspiciously.
“Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down.” Memorial, afraid that Song Zhong would find her a burden, quickly explained.
Song Zhong thought for a moment, “Since you want to go in so much, then come with me!”
With that, Song Zhong flew directly towards Crete Island.
A sly smile appeared on Memorial’s face, and a McLaren with a metallic finish appeared before her.
Memorial lightly leaped onto the McLaren, and then a roaring engine sound erupted as Memorial followed Song Zhong’s figure.
Song Zhong looked at the mist shrouding Crete Island, casually pointed his hand, and broke through the mist.
This mist was merely a simple illusion and could not impede Song Zhong’s steps.
Song Zhong entered the mist, stepped onto the rocks by the shore, and the entire Crete Island was laid out before his eyes.
This was a vast island, with flat terrain, very suitable for building cities.
Here, it was almost impossible to see natural scenery, because it had been completely transformed by human construction.
A tall, circular city wall appeared before Song Zhong; this wall surrounded the entire Crete Island.
A tall city gate had been completely sealed with stones, looking as if it was rejecting visitors from a thousand miles away.
With a bang!
Memorial, driving the McLaren, also arrived at Crete Island. She looked at the blocked city gate and began to explain to Song Zhong:
“This is the Minotaur’s Labyrinth. Even if this city wall is attacked, it will automatically repair itself. It is a very troublesome defensive Divine Artifact.
Moreover, even if you manage to get in, the Minotaur monster kept inside will immediately pinpoint its target and begin an endless pursuit.”
“Endless pursuit? I remember the Minotaur was just an ordinary monster in Greek mythology. It shouldn’t be that difficult to deal with, right?” Song Zhong asked.
Memorial shook her head, “Not so. This monster is very difficult to deal with. Zeus has successfully modified this Divine Artifact more than once, and the Minotaur has also been strengthened by him.
Inside this labyrinth, the Minotaur not only shares the labyrinth’s self-recovery ability, but what’s more terrifying is that as long as it is within the labyrinth, it possesses destructive power comparable to a Supreme God.”
“Oh?” Memorial’s words caught Song Zhong’s attention, “Destructive power comparable to a Supreme God? Since Zeus allowed this monster to gain such power, then it must have limitations, right?”
The principle of equivalent exchange applies to everything.
With such terrifying offensive and regenerative power combined in one being, it must have a fatal weakness.
Memorial shook her head, “As you said, the Minotaur does have a weakness, but this weakness is almost impossible to exploit.
While gaining the supreme power within the labyrinth, the Minotaur lost its ability to survive in the outside world.
As long as it steps out of the labyrinth, it will die instantly.
However, this monster cannot leave the labyrinth. So this weakness can almost be ignored.”
Memorial continued, “Although you can enter the labyrinth with Kronos’s power.
But don’t forget, Kronos was banished from Olympus Mountain by Zeus. I think Zeus should also be guarding against his father entering Human Realm.
Therefore, I highly suspect that Zeus has already put Kronos on a blacklist, inscribed in that monster’s mind.
After you go in, what awaits you might be an endless pursuit.”
Song Zhong smiled slightly, “What you’ve deduced from studying Human Realm for so long should be correct.”
“So, what are you going to do, my Lord Song Zhong!” There was a hint of schadenfreude in Memorial’s words; she was now eagerly anticipating Song Zhong’s embarrassed expression.
“That’s why I agreed to bring you in.”
With that, Song Zhong directly hoisted Memorial onto his shoulder, and then hung the pocket watch Kronos had given him around Memorial’s neck.
Song Zhong’s sudden movement startled Memorial. She was held tightly on Song Zhong’s shoulder, unable to move.
She could only desperately slap Song Zhong’s back.
“Bastard, what are you doing?”
“Heh heh,” Song Zhong showed his characteristic smile, “Since you want to seek excitement, then let us carry it through to the end!”
Memorial’s face turned green. She did want to seek excitement, but what Song Zhong was doing now seemed to be a bit too much.
How could she not guess what Song Zhong was going to do?
The moment he put the pocket watch on her, she understood. This guy wanted her to draw the Minotaur’s attention so he could slip away.
Was this guy even a man? To throw a delicate little beauty like herself to a monster to draw fire?
Was this even something a human would do?
“Hey, Song Zhong, put me down! Let’s talk this over!” Memorial was now both angry and anxious, but Song Zhong’s strength far exceeded hers, and she couldn’t break free from him at all.
And Song Zhong completely ignored Memorial’s clamor. He had already walked to the city gate.
Just as Song Zhong approached the city gate, the pocket watch hanging around Memorial’s neck suddenly reacted.
The hands of the pocket watch actually began to spin in reverse, as if pulling time back to the past.
The stones piled on the city gate suddenly disappeared one by one, as if time was flowing backward.
Soon, the unobstructed city gate appeared before the two of them.
Creak!
A dull sound came from the door hinge, and the gate of this labyrinth opened.
Song Zhong smiled slightly and strode inside.
Just as he entered the labyrinth, the pocket watch seemed to have exhausted its last bit of power. All the hands immediately stopped in place and no longer moved.
At the same time the hands stopped moving, the labyrinth’s gate closed again, and the large stones that had originally blocked it returned to their original state.
After entering the gate, Song Zhong put Memorial down on the ground and said with a smile:
“Memorial President, thank you! Now, you go enjoy your excitement, and I’ll go find those hidden Olympus gods. Let’s split up.”
Memorial wished she could grind her silver teeth to dust, “Heh heh, Lord Song Zhong, you certainly have good methods. Aren’t you afraid that monster will eat me?”
Song Zhong tilted his head to one side and said, “I think, as Ji Qianming’s daughter, it’s impossible for you not to have a way to save yourself, right?
Moreover, didn’t you describe the Minotaur’s terror to me in such detail earlier precisely because you wanted me to beg you?”
Memorial’s face turned pale, and then she huffily said, “You knew from the beginning, didn’t you?”
Song Zhong just smiled and didn’t answer.
“Hmph! Indeed, all men are big pig trotters.” Memorial stomped her foot in anger.
Just then, the ground of the labyrinth suddenly vibrated violently, and a bovine roar that echoed across the sky came from deep within the labyrinth.
