Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 275 Proposal of Inhibition
morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the temple, Zheng Shu, who was lying in the side hall of the temple, opened his eyes.

Stretching for a while, Zheng Shu took a deep breath of the dense foggy air on the island in the morning, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "It's been a long time since I felt this way, and I still miss it a little bit."

After cleaning himself with the water outside the temple, Zheng Shu came to the main hall of the temple.On a big soft bed in the middle lay two petite goddesses.

Zheng Shu first carefully checked the state of Steno and Yuri Allie, and found that they were still in a deep sleep without any sign of waking up.

After confirming that Stheno and Yuri Ellie's condition was considered stable, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, sat cross-legged in the temple, and stared at the two goddesses lying on the bed in a daze.

Three days had passed since his return to the island, and the two goddesses had not woken up since that day when they fell into a deep sleep.

After lifting the divine enchantment that covered the entire island, the resilience of the gods themselves was manifested. The divine bodies that had begun to collapse on their bodies had stabilized, but the recovery of the divine nature would take an extremely long time.

Before the divinity is fully restored, Zheng Shu estimates that they will always fall into such a deep sleep.

After all, if you count it, it has been nearly a hundred years since Medusa's death, and the two goddesses have completely exhausted their divinity, and now they have a chance to recover.

To be honest, Zheng Shu can be said to be very confused now, he doesn't know what he will do next, and he doesn't know what he can do.

At the very beginning, he thought about avenging Medusa, but Perseus, the chief culprit who killed Medusa, had been hunted down to death by Theseus Steno and Euryale.

As for the other one, the goddess Athena who seems to be behind the scenes in myths and legends...

Zheng Shu scratched his head. If he knew the status of Steno and Urielie, he would definitely think that Athena was also one of the enemies.

But after inferring Athena's support for Uriel and Steno, Zheng Shu seemed a little confused again.

Zheng Shu had already understood before that the reason why the remaining two Gorgon goddesses were able to support the divine enchantment for such a long time was because they had some faith support from Athena's followers.

Whenever they create art with patterns related to Medusa's head, part of their belief in the Gorgon monster is transformed into nourishment that strengthens the divinity of Steno and Urielle.

The main reason why the people of Athens would carry out such artistic creations is because Athena, after accepting the sacrifice of Perseus, inlaid Medusa's head on her breastplate or shield. .

Although there are different opinions on the specific location of the mosaic, it has indeed aroused the passion of the people of Athens for related artistic creations.

Even in a sense, because Medusa's head is regarded as part of the equipment of the goddess Athena, all beliefs that believe in the goddess Athena will allocate a small part to the concept of "Gorgon monster".

As the remaining Gorgon monsters in the world, Steno and Yurielle can also use this part of their beliefs to transform into their own divinity.

Ordinary people would probably think that Goddess Athena's act of embedding Medusa's head on her equipment "coincidentally" made Steno and Euryale survive, but they know very well about God's Armed Forces and Zheng Shu, who has the strength of Athena, doesn't think so.

Whether it is Zheng Shu's existing God Armor, or Athena's Aegis (Aegis), their defense method is not to use their own materials to block external attacks, but their essence is to have a divine structure. The concept of the world is armed.

To put it simply, it is not the armor itself that provides defense, but the divine barrier formed by the armor.

Therefore, Zheng Shu's God's Armament can defend the whole body without dead ends no matter it is in the constricted state or in the unfolded state, but because the constricted state itself is a mode of low power consumption, the defense power and transformation efficiency will be slightly lower than that of the variable. Into the expanded state of the battle armor.

But to put it bluntly, the defensive power of the Armed God has nothing to do with its shape. For example, Athena's Aegis is the opposite of Zheng Shu's Armed God. Its unfolded state is in the form of a shield, while its closed state The state is the armor form.

Therefore, in the history of the Xingyue world, when Odysseus was able to wear Aegis because of a gift from Athena, there was a clear gap between the defensive power he displayed and when Athena used it herself.

Based on this feature of God's Armament, Zheng Shu can clearly recognize that Medusa's head cannot be embedded on Athena Aegis!
Because the so-called God's Armament is essentially an enchantment generator, inlaid with random things, not only will not strengthen the combat effectiveness, but may even weaken the protective ability of the God's Armament.

What's more, with Athena's main god-level combat power, Medusa's head can't give her any improvement in combat power.

The enemy Athena who can be affected by Medusa's petrified eyes can be slapped to death by herself, and the enemies who can really compete with Athena, Medusa's petrified eyes can't break through their divine defense at all.

So combining all the previous information, Athena has no need to embed Medusa's head on her equipment at all.

The only thing that could be explained was that she already knew what the Sterno sisters were doing, so she used this method to secretly help them.

After reaching this conclusion, Zheng Shu also felt helpless. In this way, there were no enemies alive in this world, and he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.

The only thing he can do now is probably to find a way to wake up Steno and Urielle. Of course, it would be even better if he could find a way to revive Medusa.

……

……

Another morning, Zheng Shu checked the status of the two goddesses as usual after waking up.

After discovering that they were still in a peaceful deep sleep, he used the simple magic knowledge he had learned from Chiron to set up a simple warning barrier to ensure that they could come back as soon as possible after waking up.

After that, Zheng Shu left the temple and wandered around the island.

The reason why he chose to leave the temple this time was because the food stored in the temple had been exhausted.This time, I mainly want to go to the beach to catch some catches as food for the next few days, and to patrol the island to see if there are any unsightly things rushing up.

Although this unnamed island is shrouded in storms and heavy fog all year round, it is impossible for humans to break in without the blessing of gods.

However, some monsters living in the ocean are sometimes blown ashore due to storms. At this time, Zheng Shu must deal with them in time. In addition to harvesting a large amount of food, it is also to prevent these monsters from absorbing scattered The overflowing divine spirit evolved into a more terrifying disaster.

It has been more than a month since Zheng Shu returned to the island, and he is basically used to this kind of life.

For Zheng Shu, the main purpose of trying to improve himself before is to protect his "family" in the war with Guigantes.

That's right, the three Gorgon sisters have long been regarded as family members by Zheng Shu.

After all, he has lived on the island for more than ten years. When he had no ability to act in the early stage, it was the three sisters who pulled him up. Although the lack of common sense caused Zheng Shu to suffer a lot when he was young, but they didn't care about Zheng Shu. But he really did his best to raise him.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the two "parents" in the dragon world who have always ignored him although they did not cause him any physical suffering, the three Gorgon sisters have paid more to raise Zheng Shu. That's why Zheng Shu felt so angry after hearing the news of Medusa's death.

After Zheng Shu left the temple, he first ran to the beach to check whether the traps he had set before had caught any prey, and then collected some wild fruits as side dishes.

I hope that after all the gains on my body are brought back to the temple and tidied up a little bit, the time has come to the afternoon.

Zheng Shu glanced at the sun that had already started to set in the west, and started patrolling along the coastline of the island in the armor form of God's Armed Forces.

In addition to making the defense stronger, the Armor of God in the armor form also has some small functions. For example, it can make Zheng Shu more sensitive to the surrounding environment, and the range of perception can also be greatly improved.

Silently walking around the edge of the island, Zheng Shu was also exercising his perception ability in addition to searching for monsters that might wash ashore.

Suddenly, Zheng Shu was stunned for a moment, his perception enhanced by the battle armor seemed to sense some special object, and he immediately ran towards the jungle on the island.

Roar!
While running, a magical beast about the size of an elephant jumped out of the nearby woods and rushed towards Zheng Shu.

The monster's body is covered with slippery scales. The upper body looks like a shark, but the lower body is covered with crab-like pincers and shells.

In addition, there are several wriggling tentacles on the back of what should be fish fins, and the tentacles also have very long cilia, which looks quite disgusting.

Obviously, this monster was blown to the island from the sea by a storm.

It should have absorbed a certain amount of divinity residue, so the body is undergoing a period of rapid mutation, which makes its image look so unstable.

Zheng Shu saw the monster with its mouth full of sharp teeth rushing towards him aggressively, and stretched out a hand expressionlessly.

boom!
An explosion-like muffled sound exploded from the position where Zheng Shu's fist was in contact with the monster's head, and the translucent shock wave mixed with pieces of flesh and blood scattered towards the surroundings.

After suffering such a heavy blow, the beast lay on the ground and twitched a few times before losing its vitality.

Although it looks like there is only a fist-sized blood hole on the outside, in fact, the internal organs of this monster have been completely shattered by Zheng Shu's power, and even the large muscles on the body have been separated by the shock.

Glancing at his palm, if it was him before, he might have to punch a few more punches in the face of this monster, but after strengthening the strengthening template of Hercules who completed the twelve trials, Zheng Shu's strength has surpassed To a certain limit, except for the main god-level enemies, all creatures in this world are basically a matter of one fist for him.

It's a pity that the enhanced templates produced by the same creature can only be overwritten and cannot be superimposed after being enhanced. Otherwise, Zheng Shu can't wait to strengthen the power of Hercules several times.

Shaking the blood off his fist, Zheng Shu was about to step forward and move the body of the monster into the temple when he suddenly sensed something.

Frowning, he raised his head and looked in a certain direction. Logically speaking, that should be the location of the temple, but according to the induction of the magic barrier he set up, Zheng Shu found that it was actually some distance away.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to have such a basic mistake after living on this island for more than ten years, so the only possibility is that there is something extra in this part of the journey.

Zheng Shu simply threw down the monster's body, fully activated the protection of the God Armor, and walked towards the location where he had misperceived.

While walking, Zheng Shu silently calculated the distance in his heart, and when he was about to step out of the forest, Zheng Shu stopped and frowned as he looked at the suddenly darkened area in front of him.

If he calculated correctly, this place should have been the treasury area behind the temple, but now it seems that there is no connection between this place and the treasure house.

Taking a closer look, Zheng Shu found that the reason why the area in front of him suddenly turned black was because it was covered with a layer of barrier that looked thinner, which should be the divine barrier that the two of Sterno had deployed on the island before. central location.

I looked at the lines engraved on the ground next to it. It may be because of these symbols engraved on the periphery that the enchantment can last for a longer period of time.

However, because Steno and Urielie lost energy supply for a long time after they fell asleep, the enchantment was on the verge of its limit, and even broke out from the original different space, so Zheng Shu was able to find out that something was wrong.

Looking at the very transparent enchantment barrier in front of him, Zheng Shu hesitated for a moment, and touched it with his armored hand.

boom!
There was a crisp cracking sound, centering on the point Zheng Shu touched, a large number of cracks quickly appeared in the entire enchantment, and finally exploded into light spots flying all over the sky.

After the enchantment disappeared, this different space was finally completely embedded in the island, and Zheng Shu also found that the things here looked strange, whether it was the ground or the plants, they all looked like they were made of stone.

Stone? !
Zheng Shu was taken aback, and without thinking about anything, he walked quickly into this area completely made of stones.

With Zheng Shu's foot strength and deliberately moving forward quickly, it didn't take long to rush to the center of this area.Here, Zheng Shu saw something that took his breath away.

A corpse as huge as a mountain fell on the ground, with purple scales covering the whole body. It should be seen from the figure that this should be a female body. Although it is unknown how long it has been dead, the skin still looks ruddy and fair.

What looked particularly frightening was that the head had completely disappeared, leaving only this huge, headless body sprawled on the ground.

"Medusa..." Zheng Shu murmured unconsciously.

From the surrounding environment and the memory of his previous life, he can basically judge that the corpse in front of him should be the remains of Medusa after Gorgon turned into a monster.

Although the corpse looked lifelike, it had indeed completely lost its breath of life.

Zheng Shu stood there in a daze for a moment, and finally stepped forward slowly.Gorgon's monster-like Medusa is extremely huge, and Zheng Shu's height is only the size of Medusa's palm.

Stretching out his hand to touch the already completely cold corpse, Zheng Shu's eyes were slackened, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

……

……

night.

Back in the side hall of the temple, Zheng Shu lay on the bed looking at the starry sky in a trance.

Although he had already accepted the fact of Medusa's death, when he saw Medusa's decapitated body appearing in front of his eyes, Zheng Shu still felt a huge shock.

Reminiscent of the Athenians who created Medusa's head as a symbol, Zheng Shu flew to Athens on the spot to carry out a retaliatory massacre.

At the same time, Zheng Shu finally understood why Uriel and Steno chose such an extreme way to "resurrect" Medusa.

He was already so angry just seeing the corpse. He couldn't imagine how sad the two goddesses were when they saw their sister's head beheaded.

But now Zheng Shu found that he couldn't do anything, and the strength in his body was useless in such a situation.

The anger caused the veins on Zheng Shu's head to explode, but he felt abnormally weak while lying on the bed.He couldn't do anything other than impotent rage!
As if provoked by Zheng Shu's furious emotions, the light blue panel jumped out from the depths of his consciousness.

[World Consciousness is trying to communicate, is it connected? 】

"what?"

The sudden change stunned Zheng Shu, who was already dulled by anger. After a long silence, he barely suppressed his anger, sat up from the bed and looked at the information on the panel.

"World awareness? Restraining power? What are they looking for me for?" After thinking for a while, Zheng Shu decided to try to get in touch with the restraining power, "Panel, get in touch."

[The command has been received. 】

[After receiving the world awareness information, readable information will be synchronously formed on the panel, please pay attention to check it. 】

【…】

There was a sudden silence on the panel after popping up these messages, and just when Zheng Shu began to wonder if the world consciousness had left, a new message finally popped up on the panel.

[We have a way for you to meet Medusa again. 】

After seeing this message, Zheng Shu's eyes flashed a light. The "tone" of this message is completely different from the previous mechanical sense of the panel. It is obvious that the willpower of Xingyue World is directly talking to him.

"What method? What is the price?" Zheng Shu didn't have any intention of beating around the bush, and asked his own question very simply.

[We can elevate you, who is still alive, to a Heroic Spirit, and then you can participate in a battle as a Heroic Spirit, and someone in that city will summon Medusa. 】

[The price is change, we need enough changes in you. 】

"!"

The light in Zheng Shu's eyes was even brighter, and he immediately thought of the most famous thing in the Xingyue world: the Holy Grail War.
