Chapter 2024 The Doubling Is Over! ! ! ! !
"You have to wait a long, long time to replace me!" Zeus said with a sneer.
If possible, Zeus didn't actually want children, at least not sons. But there is no way, this is the only thing he has done in his life. He has not changed his attitude for more than 10,000 years, and he probably won't be able to change it in the future. In a word, I like it.
And the thing about children is itself a by-product of hobbies.
In ancient Greek mythology alone, according to rough statistics, Zeus had a total of 24 lovers, including 1 male lover (Ganymede). As for his children, there are 46 in total, including 1 giant, 1 minotaur, 11 males and 33 females. Two came out of eggs, one popped out of Zeus's head, and one was secretly born. These children also formed the main force of Greek mythology and achieved the most glorious era of Greek mythology.
Of course, if you want to say that Zeus is a complete asshole and doesn't care about his children... that's not true. Zeus would occasionally show his fatherly love suddenly, but only occasionally. There were not many children who were really valued by Zeus and promoted to gods.
"Then why did you call me here?" The strong man stepped out of the shadows.
A strong man wearing traditional ancient Greek warrior clothing revealed his figure (actually, it was tight leather pants, skirt, armor and a cape). First of all, he had exaggerated muscles. They were so exaggerated that you couldn't even see them. His neck is full of bulging muscles.
The cape he wears is actually a lion skin! That was his trophy, from the Nemean Lion!
Killing the Nemean Lion was the first of Heracles' twelve great deeds. The Nemean Lion looked like an ordinary lion, but was much larger. Its biggest feature is that it has thick skin that cannot be penetrated by swords and arrows. He has a particularly ferocious and greedy personality and cannibalizes countless people. Tretus, Apissas, and Nemea were all affected by it.
The reason why it is called the Nemean Lion is because it has been harming the Nemean area for a long time. The ancient Greek poet Theocritos recorded the process of fighting a lion in the most detail: Ulysses (asked Heracles to get rid of this evil beast that harmed the people, and brought back the lion skin as evidence. The hero shouldered his bow and arrow, and He made a stick of olive wood and set out immediately. After half a day, he finally found the nest in the mountains. When the lion came back, he took advantage of it and shot an arrow at its left side. Unexpectedly, the arrow bounced away. He couldn't penetrate the lion's skin. He shot another arrow in the chest, but it was also ineffective. At this time, the lion had discovered the hero's hiding place and rushed forward. He hit his head with the wooden stick, and the stick responded. Although the lion's scalp was not broken, it was still unsteady due to the shock, so the hero dropped the bow and arrow, grabbed the lion's neck with his arms, and gradually lifted the entire body of the lion to suffocate him. Death.
Hercules wanted to skin the lion, but he couldn't do it without a magic weapon. After thinking hard for a long time, suddenly an idea came to me, and I came up with a wonderful method as if with divine help. Then he used the lion's claws to cut off its skin, and achieved full success. From then on, he used lion skin as armor and lion head as helmet, and got a lot of help in the fierce battles that followed. It is said that he looked so powerful after wearing a lion's skin that he was so frightened that Ulysses hid in a copper pot and only dared to talk to him through a herald.
He also carried a big stick behind his back... It was really a stick, the kind of stick that was thick at one end and thin at the other. In order to increase the attack power, Hercules also embedded the claws and teeth of the Nemean lion on one end of the club, making the club look weird.
This thing sounds a bit unqualified, but in fact this thing is very lethal!
As a result, the lion skin and olive wood stick became the image symbol of Hercules: the upper and lower jaws of the lion's head were like the visors of the helmet, the lion's paws were closed to the chest to protect the heart, and the entire skin was like a cloak.
"What on earth are you doing? Zeus." Hercules ignored Zeus's displeasure and asked another question: "What you did has shamed the gods. You were actually raped by a two-thousand-year-old child. The child was defeated. More importantly, you took away your thunder fire and walked away. Do you know what this means? Once the outside world knows that the current Pantheon is so weak, there will be endless things waiting for us. Endless trouble!”
Heracles came here partly because of the summons of Zeus, and partly because he heard about what happened in the Almighty City.
This made him feel ashamed.
He does not like the Pantheon people, but the problem is that whether he likes it or not, he is a member of the Pantheon, and he is also the son of Zeus. They were disgraced, and Heracles was disgraced.
This is a matter of position and he cannot choose.
It's like when he was a demigod, he actually admired his father. At that time, in his opinion, Hera was a poisonous woman, while Zeus was a good father who endured humiliation. When Hercules was young, he was definitely the leading actor of cool novels. He basically had divine help in everything he did...well, that's not true, he had divine help in the first place.
The tragedies in his life all stemmed from Hera.
At least that's what he thought when he was young. He had a very bad impression of Hera at the time.
You know, his name, Hercules, was simply to praise Hera and hope that Hera would spare his life. Hercules meant 'Hera's glory', but even so, Hera still didn't let him go. he.
Let him kill his wife and children with his own hands, and finally die in pain.
He wished he could cut Hera into pieces.
But after he became a god and expanded his knowledge, he discovered that the one he really should hate was not Hera, but Zeus!
To put it bluntly, all of this was brought about by Zeus.
His mother and Zeus gave birth to him not voluntarily. His mother, Alcmene, was the granddaughter of Perseus and the great-granddaughter of Zeus. The wife of King Amphitryon of Thebes, she has a husband!
Alcmene's eight brothers were all killed by her enemies. For this reason, she swore not to sleep with Amphitryon unless she took revenge. Amphitryon planned for a long time and finally waited for the opportunity to lead his troops to take revenge. .
As a result, Zeus fell in love with his great-granddaughter at this stall!
In order to deceive others, Zeus gave both the Sun God and the Moon Goddess a long holiday, making the long night three times as long as usual. After Zeus transformed into Amphitryon, he seduced Alcmene. Not long after, Amphitryon returned victoriously, only to find that his wife was pregnant, and he was devastated. Later, Alcmene gave birth to twins - Hercules (Zeus and her son) and Iphicles (Amphitryon and her son), twins from different fathers... so Say, what did they do?).
Hera, the queen of heaven, was furious after hearing this and let two poisonous snakes crawl into Hercules' cradle, but the hero showed superhuman strength when he was still a baby and strangled the two poisonous snakes to death. Hera's actions aroused strong dissatisfaction with Zeus. He punished Hera and warned Hera not to cause any further harm to Hercules, and asked her to ensure the safety of Alcmene. Once, the jealous Amphitryon was about to burn his unfaithful wife at the stake and lit the pyre under her body. Suddenly, it rained heavily and Alcmene survived.
Of course, Alcmene's fate wasn't much better... In fact, the fate of Zeus's lovers wasn't very good either.
In the past, Hercules always thought that this was all Hera's fault, but after becoming a god, he discovered... bullshit!
Although Zeus is very diligent in pursuing girls, there are really not many who truly love each other. Most of them are motivated by lust and use despicable methods.
Therefore, after becoming a god, Hercules' relationship with Hera eased a lot, and he became much colder towards Zeus.
Zeus was not too angry when his son scolded and questioned him.
Because it's not necessary.
"I called you here to prepare you."
"Prepare for what?"
"Get my thunder fire back and conquer Asgard at the same time!"
Zeus said coldly.
"You don't really think I'm too old to do anything, do you?"
Although Zeus has fallen in recent years, he is really not able to defeat even a junior like Thor. Although he has been drinking and drinking meat in recent years, his strength has not declined. You know, before on Earth, he was not the same as a drunken man?
After he becomes the God King, there won't be many times when he needs to fight.
The battle with Typhon was the most thrilling.
What's more, the gods will become weak due to enjoyment? It's simply impossible!
They are naturally powerful, this is their talent and it cannot be weakened.
"and you……'
"Silly boy, I did it on purpose." Zeus said with a groan.
Then he solemnly said: "The Black Death Sword... is really damned. Isn't that thing because it was sealed? Why did it escape! This thing shouldn't appear in the material universe at all!"
The Black Death Sword, a symbiotic weapon forged by the God of Darkness, Gnar, was born to destroy the Celestials. Although I don’t understand why, this thing seems to regard the gods as being on the side of the Celestials.
It has a special attack on gods!
Just like Surtur has a special attack on the Asgardians.
The Black Death Sword defeats the gods. Their divine power is like an illusion to the Black Death Sword. It has only its own shape and cannot stop it at all. No matter how powerful a god you are, if you are slashed by the Black Death Sword, you will be like It's the same as a regular person getting slashed with a sword... or even worse.
Not only can this thing ignore the power of gods, it can even absorb the power of gods and strengthen itself.
Gelbun is just an indigenous mortal who is dying and suffering from long-term malnutrition. Even among mortals, he is the weakest. But for such a person, after getting the Black Death Sword, he can kill gods like chickens...
"Is that thing really that scary?!"
Hercules was a little unconvinced.
"That thing did not originally belong to the real universe. It was the God of Darkness, Nnar, killing a Celestial God. The Black Death Sword was forged from the divine fire in the head of a Celestial Clan that Gnar, the God of Symbiote, killed by himself. It can be regarded as the first "symbiotic body" in the universe. However, perhaps because the Black Death Sword experienced the baptism of intracranial divine fire from the Celestials during the forging process, the symbiote's weakness of fearing fire is not feared by the Black Death Sword, and compared to other symbiote attributes, , the attributes of the Black Death Sword symbiote are much stronger.”
Symbiotes are somewhat famous in the universe. This race is quite notorious. What they like to do most is to appear on a planet, then start to devour and kill the life on that planet, and finally assimilate them.
However, when all life is devoured, the symbionts will begin to kill and devour each other until a few strong ones are left and start a new reincarnation again.
These bug-like things appear anywhere and anytime in the universe.
Other civilizations will basically hunt and kill symbiotes as soon as they see them.
Pantheon has dealt with many of these things, and has a very clear understanding of their weaknesses and origins.
But this has no effect on the Black Death Sword.
It's just that only a few people in the Pantheon know about the Celestial Group and the Dark God Nar, and Hercules didn't know it before.
"The Black Death Sword should be sealed in the abyss with his master..."
"So, what exactly is Nar, the God of Darkness, and what kind of abyss is that?" Hercules asked curiously.
"It's just what we call it. The God of Darkness, Nar, was born on the dark side of the void of the universe. He is the enemy of the entire universe. He was born in the distant void era. At that time, there was nothing in the universe except the most basic matter. He He slept in the darkness until the material universe finally began to take shape. He was awakened by the movement of the gods creating the material universe. He didn't like it. The joyful and noisy new world wanted to return to the eternal nothingness and darkness, so it came out of the dark void, and then he was defeated and imprisoned in a pocket dimension. We call it the abyss. As for what is inside, we don’t know. People know, no one dares to go in anyway. After so many years, who knows how the Black Death Sword left his master and appeared in the real universe!"
Zeus explained: "This is why I don't want the Pantheon to conflict with Ger. God knows what conspiracy is behind this. We can't just step in stupidly, so I pushed Asgard and the Earth out. Use it as a shield!”
Zeus is not stupid, after all, a real fool cannot control the power of the Pantheon.
He was just...scared.
He doesn't deny this. Damn... Even something as super-class as the Black Death Sword has come out. Shouldn't he be afraid?
That's something on a par with the Celestial Team.
They don't dare to fight against the gods, so how dare they fight against the god of darkness, Nar?
Isn't that a joke?
"I did it on purpose. Dealing with Geer and the Black Death Sword...the risk is too great."
Not just the risk of fighting, but the trouble behind it.
Damn, God knows which great god is causing trouble. They go to fight to the death with Geer. If they defeat Geer, they might offend that great god... who can get the Black Death Sword out of the sealed abyss. , the guarantee is that he is also a great god of the same level as the Celestial Gods. He might be the God of Darkness, Nar himself...
If you can't win, you are a loser.
So, in this case, he can only transfer the risk!
Let Asgard and Earth take the blame.
"I was afraid that the Asgardian boy wouldn't be able to handle it, so I gave him the Thunderfire and pretended to be defeated myself. In this way, the risk is gone!"
"Then you call me..."
"Wait until the matter is over and get the thunder fire back to me!!!"
