Myth: I am God!

Chapter 99 Perseus

Although I was mentally prepared.

But Isaac was still astonished; a force lurked beneath the surface... like roots in the darkness, spreading and growing throughout the kingdom of Argos, like an unknown, invisible rope, slowly and fatally wrapping around the neck of the city of Argos...

From those words, it can be seen that... they even have people in the palace of Argos, and these bandit strongholds that are comparable in size to military fortresses... are also their people.

Their power may have already grown into a behemoth.

In a hidden corner, spying on everything in the kingdom...

Moreover, the plot by the nations to attack Argos mentioned in those words surprised Isaac... But besides this matter of national importance, what surprised Isaac the most, even causing his pupils to shrink, was Hiagar...

The letter even contained the name of Hiaja, and it clearly stated that she was in Canaan...

This gave Isaac a more direct sense of the threat.

After all, in the past, it was always a negotiation and confrontation between important figures and between city-states. Even if there were rebellions or usurpations, they would not affect Canaan and Isaac's family for the time being.

But on that letter, the name of Hiaja appeared clearly.

Isaac knew that Hiaja came from Memphis in the South, but he did not know her background or the secrets she carried, as her father had not told him this.

But ever since he could remember, his sister Shiaga had lived in their family and had long been Isaac's closest relative.

He would not allow anyone to offend or harm her family!

And when that name appears, regardless of the reason behind it.

But this undoubtedly already signifies...

Canaan... is already deeply entangled in this invisible vortex of power.

A storm is brewing.

Isaac felt a strong sense of crisis...

Even though he killed so many bandits and wiped out all the forces that had been entrenched here...

However, this did not reassure Isaac.

Instead, they had an even stronger, almost intuitive premonition that war was about to break out on the ground.

"Brotherhood...

""

The letter burned to ashes in the flames and scattered with the wind.

"This news must be told to the city of Argos, and the Canaanites must be informed to make some preparations in advance."

Thinking about this.

Isaac immediately set off.

They were the first to return to Canaan.

He spoke to the pastor and others about this very seriously: "Train harder, strengthen defenses..."

"When I return from Argos, I will bring back some weapons and equipment..."

"To arm us."

"And during the days I was away..."

"Especially protect Shiaga, and don't let anyone of unknown identity approach her!"

Seeing Isaac's serious expression, the pastor solemnly promised and announced the matter to the villagers that very day...

After Isaac finished speaking with the pastor, he chatted with his mother and Hiakka for a few more minutes.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly left Canaan again.

He headed towards Argos, his figure disappearing into the wilderness.

Argos, the palace.

On the throne sat the current King of Argos, Dicttis, in the prime of his life. Nearly twenty years of rule had brought about a dramatic change in his demeanor.

Now, even if he took off his royal robes and put on the tattered fisherman's clothes from his youth, no one would consider him a lowly person; at the very least, he would be the king of fishermen...

His gaze was no longer sharp, but possessed a quality that seemed capable of piercing through all weight and patience, like the vast ocean beyond the city of Argos.

He was meeting with several delegations from Corinth and Athens.

At that moment, Perseus, tall and handsome with golden-brown curly hair and azure eyes, entered, bowed to his father, and a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he had something to say to his father...

Upon seeing this, Dicttis ended his conversation with the delegation and waved for his ministers and attendants to leave.

Only Perseus and Dicttis remained.

After everyone else had left, Dick led Perseus to the palace gardens, where the two sat in the shade of the flowers and trees, talking amongst themselves...

"Has the nightmare not yet faded?" Dixtis asked worriedly.

Perseus nodded wearily and painfully, saying, "Yes, every time I fall asleep... the nightmare haunts me..."

"7

"A woman with snake-like hair, a gigantic sea monster with countless tentacles..."

"I dreamt that my dearest friend turned to stone, and that the city of Argos was destroyed by giant tentacles..."

Perseus paused, looking at his father with a sorrowful expression, "I dreamt yesterday... that you died."

Upon hearing Perseus's nightmare, Dicttis couldn't help but laugh, reassuring him, "It's just a dream, nothing to worry about..."

Perseus, however, retorted somewhat hastily, "But many of the things I've seen have come true!"

"It was the same when I was a child..."

"This is definitely not a nightmare, or some kind of wild imagination!"

"There must be something going on behind this!"

Seeing his son's persistence, Dick sighed and offered a solution: "If you are truly troubled by nightmares..."

""

"Then go to the temple and see Saint Zack. Perhaps he can help you solve your problem."

Perseus nodded in agreement, and just as he turned to leave, his father asked, "By the way, how's your decision about that matter?"

"It wasn't just the Hall of Heroes; many ministers also submitted memorials."

"We hope you will become the second hero in the Hall of Heroes' history..."

Perseus listened, pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No... Father, I am not qualified..."

'

"I have tested this in the Hall of Heroes. If more than twenty golden warriors surround me, I have little chance of winning. Even mortals can suppress me... let alone monsters like the Lion of Nemea that you and the Messiah defeated?"

"Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of achievements, I am unworthy of the title of hero..."

Dicttis listened to Perseus's story, then shook his head and sighed, "No, Perseus..."

"You're so insensitive in this regard..."

"If you can obtain the title of hero, you will have an advantage in the competition for the throne."

"The Hall of Heroes will bring you a crown..."

"At the same time, you need to have more contact with the saints at the temple."

"So that the temple, which holds a third of Argos's faith, may crown you..."

"Your younger brother is currently navigating between various powerful factions for the right to inherit the throne. He has already gained considerable support, both overtly and covertly. If you continue to back down like this, you may gradually lose your advantage in the competition."

"7

Perseus, upon hearing this, felt a terrible headache coming on. He said impatiently, "If he wants the throne, then give it to him!"

"After all, your blood flows in his veins..."

"But I've never cared about any of that; all I want is to protect our country and our people!"

"All I want to do is protect you!"
