But now he's stuck here.
Whether this is for the purpose of protecting human beings or saving Nemea as a friend, if he is willing to take the first step, then the change will begin.
"Can I be a hero too?"
It was only just now that Hercules realized what an atrocity it was to kill his wife and family. Faced with himself who committed such a felony, can he really become a hero?
"Hercules, don't take any pressure. If you really want to be a hero, then you are destined to embark on the road of a hero. Don't be burdened for me. Friends are the strength to help you move forward, not to hold you back a stumbling block to the legs."
Just when the two of them communicated, the forest where they were in seemed to be blown by a strong wind.
The earth seemed to be flattened by a giant dragon, and the trees were broken by lazy waists, and the lush and lush scene was gone forever.
The earth, trees, rocks... as far as the eye can see are the places where they fought, and every inch of them was ravaged by their power. Why can the injured body burst out with such power? This reason is not even understood by them themselves. Know.
There is only one thing they know at this moment, and that is that they will never stop fighting until the last bit of strength is exhausted.
Although there were many wounds on Nemea's body, the wounds on Heracles' body were too deep and too big. The massive bleeding did not have much effect at first, but as time went by, Hercules gradually became unsupported.
Are you going to lose?
Facing Nemea's ready punch, Hercules' trial seems to be coming to an end here.
No, never stop here.
Hercules knew that he must not die here, he had to kill Nemea, and he must not let Nemea do something that he regretted for the rest of his life.
The flow of magic power in the body surpassed any time, and the magic power squeezed to the limit broke out of the body and gathered in the hands of Hercules, converging into a weapon.
It was a weapon that once hurt Hercules, it was the weapon that Hercules was most impressed with these days, it was a weapon that was always loved by a young man with a smile.
It was a...sword.
The long sword pierced Nemea's chest, and when the attack was the strongest, the defense was also the weakest. The closer to victory, the more likely it would be to be smashed to pieces.
"You can still... projection magic."
Nemea's hand hangs down feebly, how is he not familiar with this sword? This is his saber.
"I don't know about projection magic, but I just think that if there is any weapon that can kill you, then this sword is definitely a well-deserved choice."
Hercules felt that his blow definitely pierced Nemea's heart. This was his victory, but he couldn't laugh at this victory.
The sun broke through the dark sky, and the sun came out.
They fought fiercely all night, and finally decided the winner before the sun came out.
"For the first time, I feel that the sun is so warm..."
For Nemea, every time the sun rises, it means that he will turn into a lion, so the sun, which is warm to almost everyone in this world, is extremely cold to him.
Only this time, it was extra warm.
"You didn't become a lion, you still looked like a human being."
Hercules reminded Nemea that he was still a human being at this time, even when the sun came out, he was still a human being.
"Is it? Is this the last mercy to me?"
Nemea laughed. Although he was about to die, he was still very happy. Even though he was not a hero, he died in the form of a human being.
"Hercules promised me, don't become a hero because of me, only those who pay for others from the heart will become heroes."
"I know."
Hercules' tone was heavy, and at the same time he could feel his hands trembling. This feeling was...fear.
Why fear?
Obviously, when facing Ares, he wouldn't have such a "despicable" emotion as fear, because of the death of his friend?
"Sunshine, it's so warm, Hercules let me... rest for a while."
Nemea closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady...was weaker, and he lay in Hercules' arms and fell asleep peacefully.
At this moment, a little girl with blond hair walked over holding a small black cube. Anyone who saw her would never forget her delicate face.
Hercules also knew that on this land of Greece, after the hero killed Typhon's "children", there would be such a little girl who appeared, and the magic box in her hand sealed the terrible evil that could destroy the world. thing.
"Pandora?"
"Well, please wait a moment, let me take away the demonic nature from Nemea's body."
Pandora put the magic box on the ground, and after a while a strong gravitational force came out of it, this is the mutual attraction characteristic of Typhon's demonic nature, using this characteristic can pull out the demonic nature from Nemea's body.
The characteristic of the magic box is that it is sealed, and outsiders cannot open it. At the same time, it is open to the magic of Typhon, allowing entry and not exiting.
"Hercules, here comes your second trial."
After tidying up the demonic nature of Nemea, Pandora brought Hera's will, and the second trial belonging to Heracles came.
Even though Hercules was not seriously injured at this time, he still looked at Pandora.
"Hydra, Nemea's sister and wife, will soon feel Nemea's death, and she will definitely start to attack the human city-state in a crazy way."
"So the second trial is to kill Hydra?"
Hercules spoke numbly, and Nemea, who had already died, seemed to have heard the same words, his body emitted light, and when the light dissipated, only a layer of lion skin remained in place.
"Nemiah..."
"Maybe he felt it. He knows Hydera very well, and he understands that attacking human city-states will attract the crusade of the gods, but Hydera's poisonous blood is the most poisonous poison in Greece. Maybe the lion skin he left You want to protect those crusaders."
Pandora expressed her guess, but Hercules looked at the lion skin without saying a word for a long time, and directly put the lion skin on and prepared to leave.
"Hydra is a sea monster. The city-states to attack are generally coastal city-states. You will have faster clues when you go to the seaside, and you should take this with you."
What Pandora brought out made Hercules' eyelids twitch, and he couldn't help but burst into anger. It was the chief culprit that caused Nemea to go berserk——Apollo's bow and arrow.
"you......"
With evil thoughts, Hercules raised his hand and was about to wring Pandora's head off, but the lion skin on his body calmed him down.
"Hydra's poisonous blood is very difficult to deal with. Even if you have a lion skin, it is not safe. Take a bow and arrow and try to kill her from a distance."
"Okay, thank you."
Hercules took the bow and arrow, thanked Pandora, and did not leave, but followed Hercules far behind.
She is the puppet of Vulcan and the guardian of the magic box. She needs to follow in the footsteps of the heroes to seal the magic of Typhon's "children".
"Go and follow Hercules. It won't take long to carry such a heavy load on the road. Let him not be too reluctant."
Zeus looked at Hercules in lion skin, and knew that even with Hercules' physique, he would not be able to last long if he left such a wound on his body and fought fiercely all night, so he immediately let Hercules Go over with Dionysus to help out.
"Yes."
The two got orders from Zeus to leave the place and chase after Hercules. The intensity of the battle last night far exceeded Dionysus' expectations, but he also knew that after such a battle, Hercules also arrived. limit.
Such an injury would be enough to deal with some bandits, let alone attack the hydra Hydra.
......
And in a dark and gloomy sea area, Hydera just woke up from sleep, and a bad premonition struck.
As if something cherished had been smashed to pieces.
"Nemia, why are you..."
Hydera was puzzled, it was clear that Nemea had nothing to do after being apart for a while, but why did it suddenly...was it an outbreak of demonic nature, or was it framed by someone?
The answer is not important anymore. For her, she only feels sad and lonely at this time. In order to alleviate all these, she decides to fulfill her promise and bring despair to mankind.
Chapter 260 Five Poseidon Is Not a Stepping Stone
"Where am I?"
Hercules opened his eyes and found himself in a cave, beside Dionysus and Pandora whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hercules, I didn't expect you to lie on the side of the road when we met again. What happened?"
Dionysus pretended to be ignorant, but in fact he may be the person who knows the most in all of Greece today.
"Dionysus? No, I can't rest yet, I have to deal with Hydera."
"Hydra? That's a famous monster, why don't you think about attacking that guy?"
Dionysus asked knowingly.
"Her husband Nemea was killed by me. She must take revenge on humans. I must stop her as soon as possible."
"That's it."
Dionysus narrowed his eyes. Based on his understanding of Hercules, he thought the answer he heard would be "to complete Hera's trial", but he didn't expect the answer to be this.
"Don't worry, you are so seriously injured now, if you go directly there, it is tantamount to courting death, it is more important to recuperate your injuries now, I happen to have the wound medicine that Asclepius gave me, and you will recover soon .”
"Asclepius?"
Hercules thought about this name. This seems to be Chiron's disciple. Although he is different from the disciples like Hercules, he has also learned good medical skills, and he is now a well-known doctor in Greece.
"Although he is also the teacher's apprentice, you have never seen him, but you can rest assured that he has learned all the medical skills of the teacher when he left, and now he has gone further and even surpassed the teacher."
Dionysus talked about his junior with appreciation.
Unlike Zeus who directly bestowed part of the theocracy on Dionysus, the reputation of Asclepius in Greece today is simply that of the god of medicine in the world.
As long as you continue to play like this, you may become a constellation in the sky in the future.
Asclepius himself seems to have the idea of developing in this direction. Recently, it seems that he has begun to claim to be the child of Apollo, and he even found Dionysus to help spread such information. remuneration.
"But most people are not at all..."
"Although you are kind, don't treat the Greek gods as air."
Dionysus sighed, Hercules seemed to have a prejudice against the gods.
"Most of the coastal city-states believe in Poseidon, the god of the sea. As long as Hydera goes to attack those city-states, then Poseidon will naturally not let her go. The most important thing for you now is to recover as soon as possible, and then where Hydera may go, etc. She'll do it."
"Possible places to go?"
Hercules has been away from Greece for many years, and he also spent time in the forest of Chiron before, so it is naturally impossible to know where Hydera might go.
"There is a city-state along the coast, where they don't believe in Poseidon but believe in Athena, even though they are on the coast. You have also been to that city-state."
"Ethiopia."
The words of Dionysus reminded Hercules that the original Ethiopia was indeed a city-state that mainly believed in the god of the sea, but as Athena helped Perseus come to power, this made Poseidon's belief no longer stable, and then there was Perseus's victorious battles made Athena's faith reach its peak.
This has completely marginalized the belief in Poseidon in this city.
"Rest first, how about letting Hermes take you there after you recover from your injuries? You must know that his speed is much faster than ours."
Dionysus couldn't persuade Hercules, and finally persuaded Hercules by moving Hermes out.
Ethiopia is too far away from here, and Hercules also understands that it is not as fast as Hermes to take the wounded body there, and he has also heard the name of Asclepius, and now it is indeed Rest is better.
......
In the deep sea, Hydera is fleeing. Originally, with her strength, she was also the overlord in the ocean, but that was only because she was not targeted by Poseidon.
Now that Poseidon came to encircle her with soldiers and horses, she could only keep retreating.
Although Hydera's strength is not as good as Poseidon's, but in this ocean, unless Poseidon comes with his mecha, he can't defeat her.
Because her blood is the most terrible poison in this Greece.
"Thank you Poseidon, Hydera is so tricky, but you are still willing to save her life temporarily for me."
In the palace of Poseidon, Zeus and Poseidon watched the scene of Hydera being expelled together. The poisonous blood flowing from Hydera's wound surrounded her like a natural barrier, not only polluting the sea area, but also It caused casualties to the pursuers behind.
"Hmph, although I don't understand what you want to do, but as a god-king, you won't do anything that would harm Greece. If that's the case, then I won't help you."
Poseidon is also unwilling to deal with Hydera himself. After all, there are endless "children" of Typhon. After thinking about it, it is more reliable to mass-produce constellations like Zeus.
Anyway, there are so many stars in the sky, no matter how they are enough.
"Zeus, I don't mind you creating those constellations, but I still have to ask a question, even if it seems ridiculous to you."
Poseidon has always had a doubt in his heart. He didn't ask because he was afraid of being laughed at by Zeus for his stupidity, but now that he has just done a favor to Zeus, he will not be laughed at.
perhaps......
"Typhon' offspring" are endless, even if those constellations are allowed to kill them, as time goes by, their number will increase, and it will be very difficult to manage when they form a group."
Naturally, it's not that Poseidon is afraid of these mortals who become constellations. After all, they all use Zeus' technology. Poseidon believes that Zeus has a countermeasure, but there is no foolproof thing in this world. Otherwise, how could the brothers do it? Overthrow Cronus.
