On the golden and mysterious Greek Coast, dyed by the setting sun, we felt like travelers through time, finally stepping onto this land that has nurtured countless legends. The sea breeze carried whispers from ancient times, gently brushing against our faces, as if each gust held the glory and sorrow of heroes from Ancient Greece. Jack and I stood side by side, our eyes filled not only with a thirst for the unknown but also with unwavering trust in each other.
As we ventured deeper into the embrace of the Olympus Mountains, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly solemn and majestic. The ancient forest stood like a silent guardian, its dense canopy occasionally allowing dappled light to filter through, adding a touch of mystery and tension to our adventure. We walked along a path carpeted with fallen leaves, each step seeming to engage in some ancient and sacred dialogue with the earth, intensifying our yearning for the mysterious heritage of Olympus.
"Li Jin, what do you think the legacy of the gods will be like?" Jack whispered, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and reverence for the unknown world.
"I don't know either, but since it's something left by the gods, it must be extraordinary," I replied, filled with anticipation for the discoveries ahead.
As we approached the mountain's peak, the Navigator suddenly emitted a bright light. We pushed through a thicket and arrived at an open area where an ancient temple ruin stood before us. Having endured millennia of wind and rain, it still exuded an air of inviolable majesty.
We cautiously navigated through the temple's ruins, each step accompanied by the sound of crumbling stones and echoes of history. The stone columns were adorned with reliefs depicting ancient and magnificent mythological tales. My gaze wandered among the carvings until it landed on a distinctive pattern—Zeus, the supreme god of thunder, holding a lightning bolt that seemed to pierce through the barriers of time, pointing directly at a stone beneath our feet that emitted a faint glow.
"Jack, look! That might be the Olympus Fragment we've been searching for!" My voice trembled with excitement. Jack quickly moved closer, and our gazes locked onto that seemingly ordinary yet extraordinarily mysterious stone.
Just as we prepared to take the fragment, the patterns on the relief suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, causing the entire temple to tremble. Mechanical gears began to turn within the gaps between the columns, accompanied by a rumbling sound as the temple's defensive mechanisms activated.
"Watch out!" I pushed Jack aside just in time as we both leaped away. In that instant, a deafening thunderclap split the sky as a brilliant bolt of lightning struck precisely where we had been standing. Dust flew everywhere, debris scattered around us, and an air of scorching danger enveloped us.
We dodged falling lightning while searching for a way to deactivate the mechanisms. On the temple floor appeared a complex pattern that seemed to represent some ancient mechanism diagram.
"Jack, look at the pattern on the ground!" I pointed at the glowing lines. "This might be key to shutting down the defenses!"
Jack quickly analyzed the pattern. "This is an ancient Greek star map; each constellation corresponds to a switch. We need to deactivate them in the correct order to stop this mechanism!"
We split up to avoid lightning while searching for corresponding switches. Each switch was hidden in different corners of the temple; some even required solving small puzzles to access them.
With the last switch deactivated, the lightning within the temple finally ceased. We gasped for breath as we returned to Zeus's relief. But our challenge was far from over; a more formidable opponent awaited us—Zhao Wuji's capable assistant, an expert in ancient mechanisms who also coveted Olympus's legacy.
He emerged from the shadows holding a high-tech device. "Li Jin, you are indeed remarkable, but the power of the Olympus Fragment is beyond your control."
"We're not here to control it; we're here to restore continuity in time," I said firmly, ready to face this new challenge.
He sneered and activated his device; an invisible force surged toward us as air within the temple began to ripple. This was a battle of technology and intellect; we needed not only ancient knowledge but also modern techniques.
Jack and I stood back-to-back; our eyes met without words—years of camaraderie allowed us to understand each other perfectly. We began our counterattack using both mechanisms within the temple and our equipment against him in an intense confrontation.
While evading attacks, I carefully observed my opponent's movements and how his device operated. I noticed that before each attack from his device, it emitted a faint blue light followed by a brief delay. Seizing this opportunity, I harnessed the power of Sun Fragment to create a blinding light aimed directly at his eyes, temporarily blinding him. Jack swiftly closed in and subdued him with precise combat skills.
As he lost his ability to resist, I quickly moved forward to retrieve Olympus Fragment. The moment I grasped it, I felt a powerful force surge into my body resonating with other fragments within me.
As we prepared to leave Olympus Mountain, I suddenly halted, my expression turning grave. On the Navigator screen, besides four collected light points, three additional points began flashing unexpectedly as if signaling an impending change.
"Jack, look at this." I handed him the Navigator while pointing at a small dot on the screen that did not belong to any known fragment but flickered strangely as if sending some signal; an ominous premonition surged within me.
"What is this?" Jack asked.
I shook my head, "I don't know, but this is definitely not a good thing. We need to find the remaining fragments quickly; I'm worried that Zhao Wuji has already discovered some secrets we are unaware of." I tightly gripped the Olympus Fragment in my hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of urgency.
We turned around, preparing to head down the mountain, but before leaving, I took one last look back. The peak of Mount Olympus appeared solemn and mysterious under the glow of the setting sun, while that unknown signal cast a long shadow in my heart.
