Chapter 215
The sun shone on the man's tall and sturdy body, and the aura emanating from him was as sharp as a blade and as steady as a mountain.
"My name is Hercules, a hero of steel who has passed many trials, experienced many hardships, and suffered many curses and blessings."
When Hercules called out his real name, the sky above his head and the earth under his feet seemed to respond to him, and the huge curse power surged like clouds and mist with him as the center.
He had a proud character, but he was not as arrogant as the disobedient gods that Altria had met before... making Altria doubt whether the person in front of him was a disobedient god.
However, the power possessed by the other party... was undoubtedly stronger than any disobedient god she had met.
Facing Hercules who was obviously serious, Altria also responded.
"My name is Altria Pendragon, King Arthur."
Hercules showed a look of astonishment again, but he soon didn't care much.
There are a lot of incomprehensible and surprising things... But compared to the next battle, these are just trivial matters.
There are also some points of concern... Hercules can feel that he and the other party have some kind of causal connection, but he feels that he should have never seen the other party.
This is really strange, is it because of other "Hercules"?
"Then, King Arthur... Let's continue the next battle!"
A faint smile suddenly appeared on the resolute face, and the next moment, Hercules took out a giant bow.
The sacred words echoed again.
"Ares, the god of war! I dedicate this victory to you! Hippolyta's belt! Help me win!"
The ninth trial of Hercules is to seize the belt of the Amazon Queen.
Legend has it that this belt was given to the Amazon Queen Hippolyta by the god of war Ares himself, and it is a symbol of the queen's power.
Because of the interference of the Queen of Heaven Hera, the Amazons regarded Hercules as an enemy, and Hercules first killed all the attackers, then captured the leader of the Amazons alive, and finally won the belt of the god of war.
The belt on Hercules was the belt of Hippolyta, which was now shining with a sacred light.
The effect of this power is to comprehensively strengthen Hercules' physical ability. At the same time, if the opponent is a woman, it will be further strengthened.
"Show my bravery here! Heaven! Tremble! Earth! Be terrified! Hades! Fall from the throne of the sky!"
The giant bow given by the sun god Apollo was held in his hand. The fully drawn bowstring was like a full moon, and the golden arrow with three tail feathers was placed on the string.
The veins on the strong arm bulged, and it seemed that it was not easy for Hercules to draw the bow.
It is hard to imagine how terrible the power of the arrow will be once it is shot!
Hercules, with a ferocious expression, shot the arrow that had seriously injured Hades.
"This is the day to strike down the gods!"
The elastic potential energy accumulated by the bowstring is converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow.
Tearing the sky apart and stirring up the wind and clouds.
The rolling roar is like the great god's wrathful punishment of destroying the world.
There is almost nothing in this world that can withstand this power.
The walls, no matter how solid they are, are as fragile as tofu under this arrow, and human wisdom is as small as dust under its power.
The arrow that can sink an island and destroy the gods bursts at Artoria like a stream of light.
The arrow, which is close to the speed of the gods, has been shot by it the moment you see it.
There is no time to dodge!
She didn't even have time to hold the sword of the Victory of the Oath in front of her.
Artoria made such a judgment in a flash of lightning.
That was the arrow that Hercules shot with all his strength, the pinnacle of his martial arts!
Around Altria, the terrifying curse power was like a volcano about to erupt.
Since you can't avoid it, just block it!
The next moment, the stream of light came before the roar.
It hit Altria's arm heavily.
If the power that erupted was the object, any description in words would appear pale and powerless.
Under the violent aftermath, the sea water, air, and clouds were scattered like birds and beasts, quickly escaping from the destruction.
387
Chapter 387 Trial.
Altria was injured.
When Hercules was still a demigod, he could shoot the God King with one arrow.
And now, the one standing here is Hercules who appeared in the world as a god, and his power is far beyond what it was before.
What's more, this arrow of Hercules also has "special attack against dragons and snakes" and "special attack against women".
Under the double special attack, Artoria was only injured in her left arm, which surprised Hercules.
"The bones of the forearm are broken... and the ribs are fractured... It's acceptable."
Artoria can recover from this level of injury at any time... as long as she is willing to absorb the essence of the earth.
But if that were the case, it would be too unfair to the opponent in front of her.
"Did you... really block it?"
Hercules took out another arrow with a hint of surprise and admiration in his golden eyes.
However, before he could put the arrow on the bowstring, the rushing light column had already approached him, and the high temperature forced Hercules to dodge.
The black and red light column brushed past his shoulder and roared past. The next moment he was in a trance, and three dark sword lights surrounded him.
Hercules' face froze, and he used the giant bow as a stick, colliding with the sword light full of murderous intent, and bursts of deafening roars broke out.
Although Altria's left arm was injured and the gauntlet wrapped around her left arm was gone, Hercules' condition was no better than hers. After all, the burn marks on his chest were still hideous.
As the two fought, the horror of the gods was glimpsed here.
"Boom!"
The black flames that burned the sky obscured the brilliance of the sun.
"Bang!"
The violent fist wind tore the ocean.
"Boom!"
A black shadow fell and sank an island.
Hercules looked down at the place where Artoria fell from the sky, without any relaxation.
"Augeas, the King of Elis! Now! Follow the oath between you and me! Bring your cattle to me! Give me a hand!"
Hercules's spell power became condensed, and finally turned into more than 300 strong giant bulls shining with divine glory.
Hercules' fifth trial was to clean the cattle shed of King Augeas within one day.
As a reward, King Augeas gave Hercules one-tenth of his more than 3,000 cattle.
Of course, these golden giant bulls present were completely condensed by Hercules' spell power. Although the strength of each individual is not as good as that of the divine beast, if more than 300 of them charge together, their iron hooves will crush all obstacles!
"Moo--!"
The solemn and sacred roar of the bull resounded through the sky, and the cattle rushed down from the sky.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, with a bit of irritation.
"It's so noisy..."
The thick beam of light swept past, and the high temperature distorted the space.
The cattle charge was only halfway through, and two-thirds of them were completely evaporated.
The gravel flew, and the hand held a huge sword of light that seemed to be condensed by black light. The black curse power like a deep abyss almost dyed half of the sky the same color.
As if to cut down the entire sky, the huge black sword of light fell, and the remaining cattle were also destroyed.
And when Artoria solved all the cattle, the arrow that had injured her fell again!
Wherever the arrow flew, it would appear empty black, as if the space itself was torn apart by the arrow!
The eyes could not catch its trajectory, and the ears could not distinguish its roar.
However, Artoria still had [intuition]
Because she had been hit by a move, Artoria had been alert to this arrow.
So, [intuition] led her to make a prediction.
It almost brushed against Altria's shoulder. Even the strong wind caused by the arrow made Altria feel as if she was "hit". For a moment, her shoulder seemed to lose consciousness.
Compared to the golden hair, which seemed a little pale and was swung wildly by the strong wind, Altria's eyes were indifferent like a pool of stagnant water.
One step forward, it was a thousand meters away.
After Hercules was stiff for a moment after shooting the arrow, Altria rushed to the other party. The pain in her shoulder did not affect her at all. The black light sword fell silently, and the trajectory of the slash was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even Hercules, who was fighting with him, couldn't help but think at this moment, "This sword is so beautiful."
The slash of black light continued to extend, and even the sea water under the feet of the two was affected by it. The slash evaporated the sea water and even created a huge and hideous rift on the seabed.
With her knees slightly bent, her waist lowered and her arms hanging down, Artoria kept the posture of slashing the sword down, frowning.
This sword did not achieve the effect she expected.
Just now, Hercules ended the stiffness in advance with his superb body control ability, and used the giant bow in his hand to resist Artoria's attack.
However, because he had just used up all his strength to shoot the arrow, although the giant bow successfully hit the black light sword, it only deviated a little, and Artoria's slash still hit his waist.
Artoria, whose expression was still cold, exerted force with both arms, and the sword wrapped in black flames seemed to violate the inertia and raised again along the previous trajectory.
However, Hercules had already responded.
"O vassal of the moonlight! You have golden horns and bronze hooves, and you are covered in moonlight. You come with leaves in your mouth and return with dreams. I swear to the moon goddess by you! I will never let go of the prey in front of me!"
Just as the black flame blade was about to cut Hercules in half, suddenly! Hercules' figure suddenly became blurred, and only a residual image was cut off, while Hercules himself had retreated a distance.
The third trial of Hercules was to capture the doe on Mount Cerynea alive.
It is said that this doe was one of the five does caught by Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, during her first hunt, but she released it back into the jungle.
Hercules ran for a whole year to catch this doe, and he chased it all the way to the place where the people of the Arctic Pure Land lived and the source of the Ister River before he caught up with it, and shot the doe's leg with an arrow before he successfully captured it.
As a power, the effect is to increase Hercules' speed, and when Hercules is chasing the enemy, this power can also allow him to catch up with the enemy at a great speed.
Now, he is just using this power to speed up his speed. After all, Altria has no intention of fleeing, but he seems to be at a disadvantage.
He glanced at Altria and grinned: "Your footwork is really amazing... It's obviously not a power of great speed, but it can burst out such an amazing speed in an instant, even I didn't react."
After that, Hercules drew his bow and arrow again, but this time it was a little different from the arrow that shot Altria before.
The disobedient Hercules has twelve powers, corresponding to the twelve trials he crossed in the legend.
With Hercules' ability, he can use two powers at a time. It's not that he can't use more, but using more than three powers at the same time will be a burden.
In the previous arrow that even Artoria couldn't dodge, Hercules actually used two powers, corresponding to the second trial of "killing the nine-headed snake Hydra" and the ninth trial of "taking Hippolyta's belt".
Without any of them, Hercules could no longer shoot such a heroic arrow as before.
And now, Hercules has used the accelerated power of "Cerynea's Deer".
Once he cancels the accelerated power, he will probably be attacked by the opponent before he shoots the arrow at such a close distance.
If he only uses the power of the second trial, the arrow shot out may be easily blocked by the opponent.
So, Hercules recited the words that were very unfamiliar to Artoria again.

Chapter 388 The last trial.
"You tear the sea of clouds with your iron wings, you catch prey with your iron claws, and you pierce steel with your iron beak. Now the arrow in my hand will turn into the strange bird of Arcadia! Cross the forest and sea to chase my enemy!"
