chapter 0260 part 2
There was also a hundred-headed Giant Dragon, Ladon, helping them guard it. It is said that this legendary Golden Apple, which could grant eternal youth to those who ate it, also sparked a mythical story about who was the most beautiful woman.
One Golden Apple staged a mythical version of the "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors" drama.
Tang Song still remembered the general story. At a banquet of the Gods, a Golden Apple inscribed with "For the Most Beautiful Goddess" was presented. The three Goddesses present, Queen of Heaven Hera, Goddess of Wisdom Athena, and Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite, all believed the Apple should belong to them.
Because they argued endlessly, King of Gods Zeus decided to have Paris, the Prince of Troy who was pasturing sheep in the wilderness, judge the dispute.
The messenger of the Gods, Hermes, brought Paris to the wedding Scene.
The three Goddesses each made tempting promises to Paris: Queen of Heaven Hera promised to let Paris rule the richest Country on Earth; Goddess of Wisdom Athena promised to give Paris infinite wisdom and lasting victory; while the most charming Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, promised to make Paris husband to the most beautiful woman in the world.
As a result, Paris, with his *mind clouded by desire*, gave the Golden Apple to Aphrodite, whom he considered the most beautiful Goddess, thus offending Hera and Athena.
And the Goddess of Love also helped Paris obtain the most beautiful woman, Helen, wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta, and daughter of Zeus and Leda.
This consequently triggered the famous Trojan War.
*Crunch!* Tang Song grabbed the Golden Apple and took a bite. The sweet Apple gave him a sense of déjà vu, like a dream of hearing these myths as a child in his previous life.
However, he was now in the midst of it, a person in the story. Tang Song had no great Interest in the complex and entangled Ethical Drama of the Olympus Pantheon.
He took out the Golden Apple merely to attract Tivan's attention. Just as Tivan watched the Universe's only Golden Apple being bitten into by Tang Song with heartache.
A Blood Shadow silently spread from under Tang Song's feet towards Tivan!
*Crack!*
"Hmm?" Originally, he had only taken out the Golden Apple to attract Tivan's attention, but after a few bites, Tang Song sensed a warm and gentle Aberrant Energy rising from his stomach, flowing into his True Essence, and gathering in his Yin-Yang Great Pill through his meridians.
His Yin-Yang Golden Core inside his Body felt as if it were in a hot spring under the nourishment of this Aberrant Energy, even comfortably jumping a few times in Tang Song's Dantian and increasing in size by nearly half.
It could be said that one Golden Apple saved him over ten years of arduous Cultivation.
A single Golden Apple was this magical? He wondered if the Apple Tree in the legendary Sacred Garden of Olympus was still there. If he ate a dozen or so, his Cultivation Base would surely take off on the spot.
Even if the Olympus Pantheon didn't have it, there were plenty of such divine Treasures in the Myths and Legends of other Pantheons.
If he remembered correctly, when he drank with Odin before, the God King's words implied he wanted Tang Song to help Asgard avoid the fate of Ragnarök.
For that reward, he would have to have a good talk with His Majesty the God King. One of the sources of Ragnarök was the Goddess of Death Hela. If worst came to worst, he could take a loss and marry Hela, recognizing Odin as a cheap father-in-law.
Of course, the dowry couldn't be small.
Not far away, Tivan watched the Golden Apple, which was eaten by Tang Song in just a few bites, leaving only the core. *You can eat it if you want, but what's with that lewd smile on your face?!* This unique Golden Apple, as a one-of-a-kind Collection Item, he himself hadn't even been willing to eat it.
The furious Tivan pointed his transparent Staff. "Boom!"
A terrifying Light Beam spun rapidly in the air, blasting towards Tang Song with an annihilating posture.
The Cosmic Elder, who was truly enraged, swung the transparent Staff in his hand with such Force that it even tore Space. "Crack!"
Tang Song took a bite of the Golden Apple and casually put the core back into his Five Yin Pouch: "What, you want to fight just because I ate an Apple? How stingy!"
Tang Song let out a Cold Laugh, his face completely devoid of the lewd look from before. He flicked his hand, shooting out dozens of Bing Fire Divine Thunders.
The fist-sized, crimson Bing Fire Divine Thunders, fused with the power of the Eternal Flame, were incredibly powerful. The moment Tivan charged forward, all the Bing Fire Divine Thunders exploded simultaneously with a roar.
A massive crimson Firelight enveloped Tivan's Body. Countless head-sized Fireballs continuously exploded, generating more within the crimson Firelight; the dense explosions instantly drowning Tivan.
As for Boss Tang himself, he rapidly retreated, while a Bone Banner appeared in front of him, protecting him.
The Light Beam struck the Ghoul White Bone Banner. The collision generated a massive shockwave, instantly blowing away the entire Castle that The Collector had operated for who knows how many years.
Revealing the two individuals confronting each other beneath the Castle.
Tang Song stood behind the Ghoul White Bone Banner, a Vermilion Hand String appearing in his Palm.
He was merely a small Cultivator at the Forming the Core Realm; how could he dare to directly confront a Great Expert of at least Skyfather level?
However, after two years of Refinement, the four Ghoul White Bone Banners had devoured millions of Demons and Undead Souls and had long since been Refined into four True Form Level Magic Treasures by him.
*Rustle!* On the Banner Face of the Ghoul White Bone Banner, two Shadows, one black and one white, holding Dirge Cudgels and Soul Locking Chains, charged towards Tivan.
Tivan was bombarded by dozens of Bing Fire Divine Thunders. The protective robe on his Body was directly burned with several Holes by the Divine Thunders containing the Eternal Flame, and his meticulously styled white hair was scorched black.
He had just escaped from the continuous explosions of the Bing Fire Divine Thunders when he received a solid blow to the head.
Although, as a High-Level God Race from the previous Universe and one of the few remaining Elders of the Universe in the current Universe, The Collector Tivan possessed Skyfather level Strength.
But in the countless years since the Universe's creation, his combat experience was negligible. Fighting, this thing, well, he basically couldn't do it.
Facing the Black and White Impermanence True Spirits conjured by the Ghoul White Bone Banner, he could only expend the vast power within his Body to fight the Black and White Impermanence True Spirits.
Well, from Boss Tang's perspective, Tivan's combat ability wasn't bad, it was just at the level of the Five-Whip style. At the same power level, even any Earthling with a slight grasp of combat skills could beat Tivan down.
But he couldn't withstand the sheer magnitude of this guy's power. If the energy in his True Essence Great Core was like a well, then the surging energy in Tivan's Body was like an entire Lake, like Lake Baikal.
This guy had lived too long. Even a pig living this long would accumulate enough energy to grow into Zhu Bajie.
Tivan's wildly swinging Crystal Staff created energy flows that made the surrounding Space unstable. One Force Overcomes Ten Skills; the two great Magic Treasure True Spirits, Black and White Impermanence, couldn't even get close.
This guy's internal power was definitely Skyfather level. In terms of energy abundance alone, it even surpassed Odin. However, if they were to truly fight, Odin could beat him ten times over.
Outside the Castle, the Angels and Thanos' Dark Fleet, who were locked in battle, also noticed the sudden disappearance of the Energy Shield and the entire Castle.
