Chapter 443: What Does Greek Mythology Have To Do With Greece?
“Typhon is a famous figure in Greek mythology. I think everyone must have heard of it before. It’s called the ‘King of Demons’, ‘the God of Demons’, and ‘the Father of Demons’, and is one of the Titans.”
The Italian Prime Minister was not slow to tell the existence of the monster known as Typhon. At the same time, the leaders of countries around the world called their secretaries to collect information about Typhon recorded in their countries.
“Titan? Are you talking about Thanos? Oh, God, don’t tell me this Typhon also has an Infinity Gauntlet?”
The President of the USA, who didn’t know about the creature, immediately imagined the purple alien in Marvel movies.
“Mr. President, although it’s admirable that you are watching what young people like while being so old, please don’t compare the Titans in movies and TV works with the Titans in mythology. This Titan is called Typhon and is neither Thanos nor Sargeras.”
The Prime Minister of Canada was only in his thirties, and from his words, he knew what it was like to play with modern young people who like to play games. Surprisingly, he even knew about the evil Titan Sargeras from Warcraft.
Faced with the words of the President of the USA, he responded without sarcasm.
In the past, Canada could only remain obedient since it neighbored the USA in North America, but at the same time, it did not have to be worried about military problems with the USA as a shield that prevented other countries from invading the North American continent.
Because of this, Canada had been complacent in geopolitics, but now, the Canadian Prime Minister wished he could move Canada away because their neighbor simply loved to cause trouble to happen. Before this, the USA had caused Jupiter LXVI to target the North American continent. If it really fell on Earth, distant Asia and Europe might have survivors, but the North American continent would definitely have been wiped out.
Faced with such a reckless neighbor who created disasters, no country would be pleased. If it wasn’t that they couldn’t beat the USA, then Canada would have long fought for their lives.
Take a look, this time, wasn’t the monster also related to the USA?
But for being able to take the opportunity to satirize the President of the USA, who else but the Prime Minister of Canada could do it?
The President of the USA had suffered too much criticism, so he did not care about the mockery of the Prime Minister of Canada, but only signaled for the Italian Prime Minister to continue speaking. At the same time, he already obtained some first-hand information about the mythical creature called Typhon.
“Nobody really understands Typhon, but everyone must have heard about its children. They are Hell’s famous three-headed dog: Cerberus, the half-human half-bird: Harpy, Chimera, Hydra, Gryphon, and many others.”
“The Titans have an important position in Greek mythology. The entire Greek mythology could be divided into three rules. We already know about Zeus who is the third generation. Cronus, who was his father, was the second generation. And finally, the parent of Cronus, the God of the Sky, Uranus, was the first. Typhon being born between Mother Earth Gaia and the incarnate of Hell, Tartarus, was part of the second generation and could be called one of the purebloods”
“Typhon’s deeds were all terrifying. It once challenged the gods of Mount Olympus. Its terrible might made the rest of the Gods except Zeus and Athena flee in fear. He had even managed to tear out Zeus’ tendons, causing the god to lose his divine power.”
The Italian Prime Minister’s words caused all the leaders to suck in a breath of cold air. Everyone definitely knew about Zeus and his fame. It could be said that Zeus was the symbol of Greek mythology. Zeus was called the strongest god with no one as equal. He was called the king of gods and no one dared underestimate this title.
But such a powerful god was actually beaten by this monster once. Could human beings even defeat it? Compared to Zeus’ thunder, could modern weapons really compare?
At this moment, everyone’s heart flooded with ripples.
In previous supernatural events, Cthulhu’s appearance had stopped after two giant ships had disappeared. Tokyo’s deep ones had caused great damage, but it was on a ‘soldier’ level.
In Kenya, although Satan was suspected to have appeared, it wasn’t able to display its power as it was sent back to Hell by the power of Christ. Jupiter LXVI’s fall could destroy humans, but it was more akin to a natural disaster than a monster’s descent. There was no comparison at all.
It could be said that the appearance of this monster was the first real mythical disaster that Earth had seen so far. It was a monster that they could see and feel.
“Is that really Typhon? Could it be that we are mistaken?”
A leader asked with a naive and self-deceiving tone.
Although there were many monsters in ancient mythology, Typhon was undoubtedly one of the highest kind. Human beings fighting against this king of final bosses seems to be a bit bad. All people held on to the same idea.
“There should be no mistake. In the mythological records, Typhon is reported as looking like hundreds of snakes entwined together. The number recorded in myths might be a bit wrong. We can also see that there are more than hundreds of snakes on the body of the monster in Hawaii. There is also a record that Typhon’s body is covered in feathers. From the photo of this monster, we can see the presence of feathers in between the gaps of the snakes.”
“And the most certain evidence that it is Typhon is that in ancient mythology, the people believed that volcanic eruptions represented Typhon’s anger. I think the leaders have also heard that Hawaii is having constant volcanic eruptions, right? This is already enough to prove that it is Typhon!”
Saying this, the Italian Prime Minister said with a hint of gloating and celebration, “But in mythological records, Typhon was beaten to death by the thunder of Zeus and fell next to the volcano in Sicily. As for why this Typhon did not appear in Sicily but in the island of Hawaii, we can only speculate that the ancient people recorded things wrong, or that Hawaii might be Sicily?”
The mischievous tone was unbearable. Except for the president of the USA, the other leaders showed expressions of relief.
Sicily was Italian territory. If Typhon truly appeared there, then it would become the Italian government’s headache. Moreover, Greek mythology was related to the Mediterranean Sea. If this suspected Typhon were to re-emerge there, who would be able to stop it?
Luckily, the USA had a first-class ability to attract the hatred of these terrible monsters.
TLN: Like in almost every marvel movie.
Being the world’s number one was definitely not easy.
The leaders looked at the President of the USA with pity.
“No!!! Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Israel… you can’t run away. You are also responsible for this monster! Egypt as well, I just read from the information that Typhon ran to Egypt after the Olympian gods scared it away. You cannot turn a blind eye to it.”
“Greece, that’s right, Greece!!! It’s your monster, so it should be your problem!”
The president of the USA slapped the table and shook the tablet in his hand as he screamed for the Mediterranean coastal countries to take responsibility.
“What do we in Greece have to do with the gods of Olympus in Greek Mythology, Mr. President? If you want to find the person in charge, you should go to Mount Olympus to find those gods, not us, the mortals of Greece!”
The Greek President replied with a reddened face.
