Chapter 3048

~10 min read 1,913 words

Mortals cannot ascend Mount Olympus. Even those good sons that Zeus left in the human world had to spend a lot of effort to re-ascend Mount Olympus.

The newly established youth group could be said to have no relatives, but the situation in this universe was too different from other universes. The adopted sons of the Wei En family could summon people who could scare everyone in all universes.

Tim also joined this team, but he only provided technical support remotely. The first person he contacted was Deathstroke.

After the economic crisis, killers couldn't get jobs, and one by one they jumped off buildings to cut prices. Deathstroke had to raise his son, so he jumped into the Mariana Trench. There was no other reason, it was just cheap.

Tim spent money to entrust Deathstroke, but it wasn't to let Deathstroke take them to Mount Olympus, but only to let Deathstroke find a way to enter the Amazon.

Don't look at Paradise Island as a public tourist spot, but in fact, the defense of the Amazon was very tight. The female warriors patrolled in turns, and it was not easy to get close to the core.

But now, the Young Avengers team had to find a way to contact the Amazons. Diana must have left a way to Mount Olympus there.

Deathstroke was indeed the strongest tactical master. Leading a group of people through the Amazon rainforest, he really found a small path, approached Paradise Island, and successfully cracked the high-tech equipment used by Paradise Island to hide its own location, letting a group of people sneak in.

Deathstroke was even a better infiltration master than Batman. Under his leadership, the group approached Queen Hippolyta's palace on Paradise Island without any danger.

Out of caution, they didn't all show up in front of the Queen, but let Dick and Raven appear, while Jason and Aisha hid on the side to guard against accidents.

The arrival of Dick and Raven obviously gave the Queen a big scare. The two didn't tell the Queen how they had sneaked in, and the aura of Trigon on Raven also made the Queen very wary. Learning that they came to explore the situation on Mount Olympus, the Queen also appeared very helpless.

About two weeks ago, Mount Olympus closed almost all channels to the human world. The Queen shook her head and said, "Even I can no longer feel the breath of the sacred mountain, and can no longer go to Mount Olympus."

Raven and Dick looked at each other. They believed the Queen wasn't lying, so it seemed that something really happened to Mount Olympus.

"Are all the channels closed?" Dick asked.

The Queen nodded and said, "As far as I know, all channels on Earth are closed, but..."

"But what?"

"There is a channel to Mount Olympus in the Underworld. That door can never be closed. So if you want to go to Mount Olympus now, you must first go to the Underworld. But that is the kingdom of the dead, full of the breath of death and fear..."

Hearing that it was full of the breath of fear, Aisha got excited. If Jason hadn't pulled her, she would have jumped out.

Dick obviously thought of this too, so he said, "We don't fear these, we just want to know the truth. Your Majesty, do you know how to go to the Underworld?"

"Only the dead can go to the Underworld. However, you are not believers of Olympus, so you don't necessarily have to cross the River Styx after death. Then you only have one way to go to the Underworld."

"What?"

"Find the 'Key of Tartarus'. Someone once held this key to open the gate of the Underworld and went to the kingdom of the dead."

"Then where is this key now?"

"I don't know," the Queen shook her head and said. "The incident happened suddenly, so I couldn't have predicted it in advance, and naturally I couldn't have gone to find the key. In fact, I also have something to ask of you."

Dick had actually guessed something. He said, "You also want to know the situation on Mount Olympus, right?"

"Yes, and, if possible, I hope you can stop the disaster happening on Mount Olympus."

Dick heard that the Queen had something in her words. He said, "You don't seem surprised that disaster will befall the gods."

The Queen sighed softly and said, "Sooner or later."

Dick squinted his eyes.

"Everything is their own fault. But child, that is a war between gods, which has nothing to do with humans. On the contrary, if the gods are completely destroyed, the existence that devoured their power will turn the home you live in into hell."

"Who is that?"

"The source of all magical power, and also the shaper of the gods. His name carries special power, so it's better not to say it. If possible, help the gods; that is also helping yourselves."

The Queen knew some things, but didn't know enough. Dick thought that maybe she had learned something from Zeus or other Olympian gods before and had anticipated this day.

But the arrival of the disaster was still sudden, so the Queen didn't have time to do more. She couldn't easily leave Paradise Island. Now the task of saving the gods fell on the newly established Young Avengers team.

Mentioning this, Dick also had a big head. Although he had no awe of gods, he had to admit that the family behind Diana couldn't be compared to those evil gods and monsters on Earth; those were genuine ancient gods.

If they were all hit by disaster because of some source of magic, then could humans really have the power to resist?

Having said that, thinking about this was useless. The Justice League and Bruce were not on Earth. Dick felt that as the eldest son of the Wei En family, he had the obligation to exercise the duty of protecting Earth on their behalf.

After leaving the Queen's palace, Dick told everyone all the information he had obtained, including Gordon and Victor and the others, but no one had heard of this mysterious Key of Tartarus.

Now they knew the consequence of not choosing magic theory courses at Cat Getan Magic Academy. They hadn't heard of these obscure and awkward magic legends at all, and even if they wanted to check, they had no way to start.

Originally, this kind of knowledge would definitely be to find Constantine, but the problem was that Constantine was missing, and they couldn't find him even if they wanted to.

Having no choice, Dick sent a message to Mercury. Although the members of the Justice League couldn't come back, information could still come back.

Zatanna suggested they find Master Night.

Master Night Jim and his team stayed at Cat Getan Magic Academy for a period of time, and later returned to London to guard the Oblivion Bar. Raven took everyone and teleported to London.

Hearing their purpose, Master Night's expression gradually became serious. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "If something happened on Mount Olympus, it must be a major upheaval in the magic world. You kids shouldn't get involved."

Aisha took a bite and bit off half of his counter, wiped the crumbs from her mouth, and said, "Say it again, who is a kid?"

The detective chimpanzee next to him felt distressed beyond measure. Master Night gasped, looked Aisha up and down, and seemed to see some clues. He said, "I admit you might have some skills, but this matter isn't that simple. The source of the gods' power is an ancient secret. To investigate this, just having brute force won't work."

"We know Hades is very strong," Dick explained, "And his Underworld is more independent relative to Mount Olympus. If we can find him first, learn the secrets of the gods from his mouth, and win his support, I think perhaps we can reverse the situation on Mount Olympus."

Master Night saw them insisting, so he couldn't say anything. He said, "I can't easily leave the bar to avoid being taken advantage of and disrupting more magic planes. Regarding the Key of Tartarus you mentioned, I haven't heard of it either, but I know that in recent years, the gate of the Underworld was opened once."

"When?"

"This is not important. What is important is that if only this mysterious key can open the gate, and someone has succeeded before, it proves that this key is very likely in his hands."

"Who is this person?"

"Archmage Faust." When mentioning this person's name, Master Night couldn't help but frown. He said, "He was once a member of the Archmage Alliance, but he has disappeared for a long time. Most people think he went to hide from debt, but I know this guy has never stopped."

"He didn't show up during the last vampire event, and he escaped a disaster. Now he should still be hiding in some dark space, exploring forbidden secrets."

"Do you know where he is now?"

Master Night shook his head slowly and said, "These old guys are very cunning, and it's very difficult to find their hiding places. I'm afraid I can't help you with anything. I'm sorry."

Returning without success again, Dick didn't feel discouraged. At least they got some clues and also knew the name Faust.

Dick sent what Master Night said to Tim. Tim began to comprehensively search for the surname Faust to see if he could find any traces in the social information of ordinary people.

And the group went to Cat Getan Magic Academy. There were a large number of magic books in the library of the Magic Theory Academy, all of which Bruce had brought back from hell at that time. They recorded many ancient secrets unknown to humans, and perhaps there would be information about the key.

Although a batch of top students left the academy, there were still many students in class. They were curious about these strangers who didn't often come to class, and finally even alarmed the principal.

Now, the principal of Cat Getan Magic Academy was also Thaddeus Sivana. It could only be said that he had some talent in being a principal.

Dick and the others felt that since he could be the principal here, he should be trustworthy, so they told him about the matter they were investigating.

Once Sivana heard it, although he couldn't find this old guy named Faust, he knew an old man who belonged to the Archmage Alliance along with Faust, and he was also the one squatting on the Rock of Eternity, and also the enemy who pitted him when he was young.

Sivana didn't hide it either, and told the story of meeting old Shazam when he was young. Several children listened with righteous indignation. They knew what a good teacher was like, so they were very unhappy with old Shazam's irresponsible educational methods of killing and not burying.

Based on the principle of hitting three poles whether there were dates or not, they hoped Sivana could find a way to take them to the Rock of Eternity and ask that old man if he knew Faust's news. It would be best if he knew.

But Sivana didn't take them there personally, but let them find the successor old Shazam later chose, which was Billy Batson.
