Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 336 The Enslaved God
Hermes.

This messenger of the gods, who is faster than the wind and faster than light, used to travel frequently between the Olympus mountain and the human world, and is the closest to the mortals. However, in recent decades, the world has never heard of this god again. information.

But when the hero traveled here, he was surprised to find that the unkempt man in front of him called himself Hermes.

"God of travel? Why are you here?"

The big hero asked in surprise.

The man who claimed to be Hermes looked embarrassed and could only explain.

"Hercules, this is related to an incident in your childhood."

As he said that, Hermes talked about what happened when the great hero was just born, about his miraculous birth and the queen's love for him, and her anger after knowing the truth, and of course, Hermes was knocked down. between endings.

Finally, Hermes lamented.

"Hercules, the king of gods blamed me for losing you, so he knocked me down from this mountain. Now you have become famous in the world, but I am still imprisoned here, building walls for the kings of the world, and being he enslaved."

Only then did the great hero notice the chains on the feet of the able-bodied man.After noticing the great hero's gaze, Hermes lifted his foot, and the chains on his feet made a crisp knocking sound without losing time.It was this chain that imprisoned the god with the highest speed in the universe here, and was not allowed to leave.

"Who imprisoned you here?"

The great hero asked.

"Here is the King of Troy."

Hermes explained.

"Why did he imprison a god?"

The great hero asked in bewilderment.

Most of the mortal kings are a mixture of human and god, so they have always been contemptuous of gods since ancient times, but to really imprison a god, even if it is a god who is punished and troubled, is also a serious crime.

Even a great hero can hardly imagine who actually dares to have such arrogance and courage.

Hearing this, Hermes sighed again and said in frustration.

"At that time, I was knocked down to the mortal world for the first time, lost my divine power, and was forced to live by herding sheep in the mountains. I happened to meet King Laomedon of Troy on a hunting trip. A wise man who accompanied me discovered my identity and suggested to the king He kindly entertained me, so the king took me back to the palace to enjoy food and wine.

"At the banquet, I was grateful for his hospitality, so I told him the two artifacts I brought to the mortal world, namely the invisibility hat and the winged boots. But when I was drunk, he took them away. My invisibility hat, took off my winged boots, stole my artifact, and locked my feet with chains. When I woke up, I couldn’t escape the chains, I could only be enslaved by him, forced to replace He has built impregnable walls, and has done so for 13 years."

As he spoke, Hermes showed a pleading expression.

"Good Hercules, you will help me out of captivity, won't you?"

This always cunning deity has no sense of self-esteem as a deity when begging for help, so he simply chooses to beg.

At a glance, he was sure that this Hercules was a soft-hearted guy, as long as he lowered his posture, it would be difficult for him to refuse other people's entreaties.

Sure enough, the great hero was extremely indignant when he heard the words, and seemed even angrier than him, scolding the king of Troy who had no sense of honor.

"Don't worry, Hermes, that shameless king will be punished as he should."

The hero did what he said, and he took the god of healthy feet, whose feet were chained by iron chains, and rushed straight to the direction of the palace. A guard tried to stop him, but he threw it away.

The heavily guarded palace could not stop the great hero from advancing. He kept breaking into the palace, only to bump into a middle-aged man with a crown on his head.

"who are you?"

asked the king of Troy in surprise.

The great hero didn't say much, and knocked the king to the ground with a punch. Before the dizzy king could react, he was stepped on by the great hero.Hercules snapped.

"You shameless king, I ask you, where is the key with which you imprisoned the god Hermes? Where is the artifact you stole?"

"Hermes? How do you know he's imprisoned here?"

The king, who hadn't reacted yet, only had time to say a word before he was forcibly pulled up by the hero, and forced to look at Hermes who was following behind the hero.

But somewhat unexpectedly, the king looked angrier.

"Ah, you despicable and shameless god of thieves and liars, how dare you trick others into invading my palace."

The king's words made Hercules suddenly realize that there seemed to be something hidden in it.He frowned, looked at the king in front of him, and looked at Hermes behind him.

"King of Troy, tell me what happened, and I, Hercules, will surely judge you in accordance with the law."

After the king of Troy regained his footing, he glared at Hermes angrily, but he was afraid of Hercules' force and did not dare to attack.

Even though the guards surrounded him at this moment, they seemed to be in a weak position in front of the tall and straight Hercules.

King Troy raised his crown and bowed deeply.

"Hercules, I have heard of your reputation, and please listen to my argument. This liar god was in trouble in the mountains. I entertained him with a banquet and let him stay, but he talked sweetly. Deceived my queen and stole my jewels. That's why I took off his invisibility hat and his winged boots while he was drunk, and let him build a wall for me to atone for my crime. May Zeus and Hera witness , what I say is the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood.”

Hermes has many priesthoods, and he is the fastest in the universe, so he was appointed as a messenger by the gods.He likes travel and commerce, so he is also the patron of travelers and merchants.But on top of that, he has a well-known penchant for... stealing and lying.

Wherever he went, the itchy Hermes always wanted to steal something.

Legend has it that he stole the feet of whales, the wings of lions, the singing of crows, and the kindness of people... so people always do evil, and only the remaining soul can awaken people's conscience.

And even though he was demoted, Hermes couldn't help his habit when being entertained. While the king was away, he tricked the queen with rhetoric, made peace with her, and stole the king's favorite agate bracelet.

The king who learned the truth was extremely angry, but he knew that if he was arrested directly, the liar god would put on the hat that no one can find him to hide, and then escape with the boots that no one can catch up with. .So he designed to make the god drunk at the banquet, and imprisoned him while he was drunk.

In the end, the god of thieves, who possessed the two artifacts that all thieves dream of, was caught because of carelessness and greed.

Hercules looked suspiciously at Hermes, seeing that Hermes wanted to speak up to defend himself, but the great hero spoke first.

"Hermes, don't try to deceive me. In the name of my father Zeus, if you deceive me, I will definitely chase you to the end of the world and never give up."

Facing the threat and warning from the great hero, Hermes wanted to laugh it off and continue telling the lies he was used to.But before he could say anything, he was stared at by the cold, fierce and lion-like eyes of the great hero.

His heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Although it was unbelievable, Hermes' shrewd and cunning wisdom told himself that if he lied now, he might really be tracked to the end of the world by the mortals in front of him and would not give up.

After thinking for a while, Hermes suddenly knocked on his head, showing a silly expression.

"This...hehe~"

Although he never said it directly, it is obvious that the speed god has acquiesced in what King Troy said, admitting that he had indeed concealed something before.

Hercules was annoyed, but after thinking about it, he said to King Troy.

"King of Troy, as you can see, this liar god has lied to your queen and stolen your treasures, but now he has built your walls for 13 years and has had enough punishment. I don't want the king and the gods The hatred between the gods will last forever, so let me be the middleman, please let go of this liar god."

The king of Troy seemed unwilling, but he looked at Hercules scruples, and finally nodded.

"Well, then, Hercules, the famous hero, I don't want to be your enemy, so please leave here with this liar god."

When Hermes' chains were untied, the king returned Hermes' invisibility cap and winged boots.Seeing that the matter was over, Hercules nodded, and was about to turn around, but at this moment, Hermes, who was just pretending to be stupid, spoke again.

"Wait a minute, Hercules, I have one more request for your help."

"I'm not the only one who built the city wall here. There are also two gods who also built the city wall with me to atone for their sins because of Zeus's punishment. Please help release them."

Now, not to mention Hercules, even the big snake who had been admiring the farce on Hercules' shoulders couldn't help but widen its pupils.

Good guy, three gods are punished here to build walls for mortals?

Even Orochi, who has seen strange things in several worlds, can't help being surprised.
