I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 218 Battle of Gods

"Who are you? You actually sacrificed humans in an attempt to gain evil power." Alpha stared at the mysterious man with a sharp gaze, his voice full of anger and a sense of justice. When the mysterious man heard Alpha's question, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile.

"You humans just want to keep me here? Impossible." The mysterious man's tone was full of disdain. He gently waved the magic wand in his hand, and a powerful magic force surged instantly. For a moment, the wind and clouds changed color, lightning and thunder flashed, and a strange light filled the mysterious man's surroundings.

However, Alpha was not intimidated by the mysterious man's momentum. He immediately ordered everyone to surround him. The soldiers held sharp weapons and their eyes revealed firm determination. They knew that they could not retreat in the face of evil.

"Shoot." Alpha gave the order, and the soldiers shot crossbow arrows one after another, attacking the mysterious man like raindrops. The crossbow arrows flew in the air, flashing a cold light. Seeing this, the mysterious man calmly cast magic, and an invisible shield appeared in front of him, deflecting the crossbow arrows one after another. Alpha was surrounded by a transparent energy, and all the magic shots were intercepted.

The mysterious man's strength obviously exceeded Alpha's expectations, but Alpha did not give up. He gritted his teeth secretly and decided to fight a desperate battle with the mysterious man. In the fierce battle, Alpha gradually discovered the mysterious man's weakness. He cleverly commanded the soldiers and used the team's cooperation to continuously attack the mysterious man's defense line.

Finally, under the leadership of Alpha's wisdom and courage, they successfully defeated the mysterious man and stopped his evil plan. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the mysterious man turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the night sky.

"Where does this lead to? Hainas." Alpha stared at the beautiful sea woman in front of him, with curiosity flashing in his eyes, and asked.

"Originally, this was just a passage leading to your human fortress." Hainas' voice was calm and cold, as if she had no great interest in this topic. "However, now Lord Neptune has opened up a passage connecting to the ocean." If Alpha hadn't asked, Hainas might have remained silent without saying a word.

"Leading to the sea? Isn't that the ocean? Bring me some sea water." Alpha said anxiously, he needed to confirm it one last time. His voice revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if this matter was very important to him.

The ocean is a mysterious and vast world. Alpha's heart was filled with infinite imagination about the ocean. He longed to experience the vast ocean in person and explore its mysteries. His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to go deep into the embrace of the ocean.

"It's sea water, that's right." Alpha licked it and confirmed that it was sea water.

"I am only responsible for protecting you. I won't take care of other things." Hainas' body gradually disappeared, and finally no trace was left.

"Let's go down and see where this leads to?" In the dark abyss, there is a path only half a meter wide spiraling down. Everyone decided to use ropes just in case. The path is narrow and steep, as if it is a mysterious road to the unknown. Every step is full of uncertainty, but they are not afraid and bravely take the steps to explore.

As they went deeper, the darkness around them became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to swallow them up. However, their courage and curiosity drove them to move forward. They carefully spiraled down the trail, with the rope in their hands becoming their only connection to safety.

During this long descent, they didn't know what they would encounter, but they firmly believed that only through exploration could they uncover the truth of this mysterious passage.

Finally, everyone stepped onto a solid ground platform. Under their feet was the surging sea water, which was flowing rapidly and formed a huge chasm. On one side was endless darkness, as if it was the end of the world; on the other side was a brightly lit hall, emitting a mysterious light.

The hall was surrounded by numerous exquisite murals, as if silently telling the history of the past. Alpha carefully studied the murals, trying to interpret the stories in them. After some effort, he roughly understood the message conveyed by the murals.

According to legend, the Sea King descended from heaven to the human world, bringing huge floods and tsunamis, bringing disaster to mankind. The Thunder God in the sky could not bear to see mankind suffer so much, so he decided to start a fierce battle with the Sea King. It was a battle that shocked the world and made the gods weep. The sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim. The Thunder God and the Sea King were equally strong and it was difficult to tell who would win, but if the battle continued, mankind would be in danger of extinction. So the two seemed to have reached a bet to decide the outcome of the war.

In this thrilling gamble, Aquaman finally lost, became the loser, and was imprisoned in this mysterious place...

"Is this the armor and weapons of Thor?" Alpha stared at the equipment on the throne with wide eyes, full of doubts. These equipment seemed to be exactly the same as those used by Thor depicted in the murals, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and wanted to touch these mysterious equipment.

However, at the moment when Alpha's fingertips touched the equipment, a powerful lightning suddenly erupted and instantly penetrated his body. Alpha felt that his eyes went dark, as if he was drawn into an illusory world. Everything around him became blurry and he lost control of his body.

"You tiny human being, you actually want to seize the power of the gods. You really overestimate your own abilities! I will punish you by turning you into ashes and never letting you be reborn!" A majestic and deep voice sounded in his ears, like a rebuke from the gods. The voice was deafening, as if it contained endless power, and Alpha couldn't help but tremble.

Alpha looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the sound, but all he could see was a blur of light and shadow. He felt a strong pressure coming towards him, as if it was going to crush him. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't escape the shackles of this mysterious force.

Alpha's heart was filled with fear and despair, and he realized that he had made a terrible mistake. He shouldn't have coveted the power of the Protoss, and he shouldn't have touched these mysterious equipment so easily. Now, he faces the punishment of the gods and may never be able to return to the real world.

Alpha prayed silently in his heart, hoping to be forgiven by God. He swore that if he could escape this disaster, he would never pursue power that did not belong to him again, but cherish the life in front of him.

In this illusory world, Alpha gradually realized the true meaning of power. He understood that true power does not come from external equipment or power, and everything is useless.

Alpha suddenly felt a strong force, like a steel-hard chain that bound him tightly, making him unable to move. His heart was filled with fear and despair, because he knew that he had made an irreparable mistake and touched a taboo that should never be touched.

Alpha knelt on the ground, his body shaking constantly, and begged in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, great Thunder God! I was just curious for a moment, and I didn't mean to blaspheme at all."

"Curiosity will bring death. You should understand this." The voice of the Thunder God was as majestic and cold as thunder. "What you have done has violated the dignity of the Gods. You must pay the price for it."

Alpha felt as if his body was torn apart by thousands of lightning bolts, and the pain was unbearable. He knew clearly that death was approaching, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Humans are the lowest creatures, the most despicable creatures, and the creatures that deserve to be destroyed. How dare you try to get involved in the power of the gods? This is unforgivable, and I will definitely give you the most severe punishment." God's words carried unquestionable authority, and Alpha's body was almost deformed under the pressure of this force.

"No, humans should not be destroyed. Everything in the world has its meaning of existence, and no race has the right to decide the fate of humans." Alpha knew that begging for forgiveness and release was impossible, but he still stuck to his beliefs.

"Then go to hell and accept your punishment! Taste my purple divine thunder."

"Let me see for myself whether your thunder really has the power to destroy all things." Alpha had already made up his mind at this time that the disaster that year was probably not caused by Aquaman, and the real murderer was most likely Thor.

"You are the culprit who brought disaster to mankind, and you are the chief culprit for destroying mankind." However, Alpha was too small. In the eyes of the gods, he was not even as good as an ant.

Alpha's body was continuously bombarded by the merciless purple thunder. Every strike of lightning made him feel as if thousands of sharp blades were piercing his body. The intense pain almost made him faint. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Alpha's will was extremely firm. He knew that he could not just give in.

Amid the cruel laughter of the God of Thunder, Alpha struggled to raise his head. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination and challenge: "Do you think you have the power to destroy everything and can trample on life at will? Real power is not used to oppress and destroy, but to protect and create!"

Thor obviously didn't expect a mortal to have such courage and determination. His laughter gradually stopped, and his eyes began to flash with complex light. He responded coldly: "Humans always like to use idealized words to cover up their own weakness and ignorance. Since you are so eager for power, I will let you see what real power is."

As he spoke, the Thunder God increased the power of the Purple Sky Thunder. The thunder and lightning surged like a wave, and each current raged in Alpha's body like a giant dragon. Alpha felt that his life was slipping away quickly, but his heart suddenly calmed down. All the pain and fear seemed to have gone away, replaced by a deep sense of relief and enlightenment.

Just as Alpha was about to accept the final destruction, another divine power suddenly appeared.

"Thor, you shouldn't vent our grievances on a human. When you and I fought, it was the Holy Spirit of the continent who suffered. The King of Gods asked us to reflect on our mistakes here and set impossible conditions. But I succeeded. You should also give up hatred and killing and seek inner peace and tranquility." This was the voice of the King of the Sea, a wisp of residual soul consciousness.

Thor suddenly stopped attacking. A strange silence enveloped the space. Thor's voice sounded again, but this time with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry: "In you, I see a toughness and purity that is rare among humans. Tell me, human, why do you want to live so much?"

Alpha breathed hard, and every breath he took was like a fight against death. He spoke slowly: "I want to protect those I love and stop those evil forces that want to destroy peace and order. Power, to me, means responsibility, not destruction."

Thor was silent for a moment, then said: "Perhaps I did misunderstand humans, misunderstood you. Your courage and determination made me re-evaluate your race. Go, Alpha, and complete your mission. If one day you can really use your power to protect rather than destroy, then perhaps there will be a new path to reconciliation between our Protoss and humans."

As these words fell, the chains that bound Alpha disappeared, and the purple divine thunder also dissipated without a trace. Alpha fell to the ground, covered in wounds, but his eyes were shining with the light of life. He knew that he was given a precious opportunity, not only a chance to survive, but also a chance to change his fate.

Alpha stood up with difficulty and looked into the distance, his heart filled with new hope and determination. He will face more difficult challenges, but at this moment, he is ready.

Alpha's body was covered with hideous scars, each of which told of the pain he had experienced. The pain was like wildfire, raging in his flesh and blood. However, compared with the physical pain, the shock brought by Thor's unexpected truce and the assistance of the remnant soul of Aquaman was like a raging storm in his heart. He stood quietly on the battlefield where he had once been, surrounded by tranquility, but he knew that behind this tranquility was a heavier responsibility.
