He couldn't wait to have a good fight with the person in front of him!

Not only the king, but also the Thracian soldiers and nobles in the palace were filled with excitement, for this was Thracian tradition: only the strongest had the right to speak, and only the strongest could receive the favor of the god of war.

You challenged the King of Thrace, and in response, the King of Thrace organized an event—a duel.

Because of your trait "Aspiring Swordsman," you will gain trait experience for each opponent you defeat in this event. When you become the final victor, the "God of War" will cast his gaze upon you.

You begin your stay in the Thrace region, comparing yourself to all the Thracian warriors.

Chapter 117

The first person to challenge you was the King of Thrace himself, a seasoned warrior, but still no match for you. Although your combat experience isn't particularly extensive, your swordsmanship teacher is Lancelot, giving you a starting point that many never reach in their entire lives.

You easily defeated the Thracian king, and this victory became your daily routine. Because of your victory, almost all the Thracians became very interested in you. They all wanted to fight you to see just how good this renowned craftsman really was. Every day, you had to fight at least twenty or thirty strong Thracian men. You sweated profusely in the Thracian square, and every time you defeated a Thracian warrior, more warriors would challenge you.

You suddenly realize why the Thracians worship Ares, the god of war who only cares about fighting and not about winning. It's because these people truly understand Ares on a deeper level. These warriors don't care about winning or losing; they only care about having a good time.

Your initial grand ambitions were essentially aimed at gaining the approval of the Thracian king so you could meet the god of war. But now, the situation has changed. The Thracians won't let you off easily; every adult male has begun to challenge you. You realize you really have to beat up every single Thracian.

Fortunately, your physical condition is robust enough that you can fight continuously from day to night. As long as you don't use magic, in terms of hand-to-hand combat stamina alone, you can fight for days without rest or sleep without losing your fighting strength. As the competition lasted for a whole month, the Thracians were completely convinced of your abilities. These warriors, whose minds were filled with bloodlust and fighting, believed that you were a true warrior, a warrior worthy of respect.

Because you defeated all the Thracian warriors, Ares, the god of war, has set his sights on you, given you special attention, and issued an oracle to the Thracian king.

After you defeated all the warriors of Thrace and became the strongest bloodthirsty man in the Thrace region, the Thracian king, who was quite satisfied with his victory, decided to grant you honorary Thracian citizenship. Even though you are a foreigner, you can enjoy all the rights of a Thracian citizen in the Thrace region. In addition, he also gave you a name that is quite characteristic of Thrace.

Kratos

Quinn was silent.

Dude, can you guys give me a more auspicious name? I have this feeling that my family is going to be destroyed.

I'll be posting two chapters tomorrow, but my head still hurts.

My headache from the past two days hasn't gone away, I'm really not feeling well, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

Chapter 105 Never mind then

"Kratos, the God of War has granted you an audience. There are no special ceremonies. You have proven with your strength that you are the strongest warrior in all of Thrace. Even the priests must bow down to you. This is an honor that the God of War has granted you. From now on, whenever you arrive at any temple of the God of War, you can speak directly with the god."

Quinn listened to the Thracian king's words, now tinged with a hint of respect, and couldn't help but marvel at how this wretched place truly exemplified the simple and honest nature of its people. If only these Thracians were willing to change their way of addressing him.

He preferred his original name to Kratos.

But clearly, the Thracians didn't care about Quinn's real name. They did as they pleased and only called Quinn by the Thracian name they had given him. Quinn eventually couldn't persuade these stubborn Thracians and could only take it as an influence of the god of war on mortals. However, when Quinn went to the Temple of Ares, he realized he was wrong.

Because the moment he entered the Temple of Ares, he heard the voice of the God of War.

“Quinn Europa, your name is known to all in Greece. I welcome you. The blacksmith has told me that you have come here to seek my blessing. Speak frankly, what do you want me to bestow upon that doll?”

Your challenge to all the Thracian warriors pleased the god of war. He didn't put you through any further trials but directly asked about your needs. He is straightforward and favors bravery, and you suit his taste perfectly. He had witnessed all your battles with the Thracian warriors during this time and believed you possessed all the qualities of a qualified warrior.

[Brave, resolute, and extremely wild, your birth as a mother wolf also pleases Ares, who has decided to bestow upon you a blessing directly.]

[You weren't overly modest, because you were indeed exhausted during this period. Facing the challenge of more than a dozen strong men every day was not only tormenting your body, but also your mind. Fortunately, your efforts and rewards were commensurate. You reflected on the incredibly efficient blessings that this war god could bestow upon your creation.]

You have an idea.

Hephaestus endowed his puppet with invulnerability, which, in principle, shouldn't fall under his jurisdiction. However, since your puppet is classified as armor, Hephaestus's blessing upon it is essentially a blessing for the armor. Therefore, the God of War's blessing can be understood without considering the logic of normal humans.

What you seek is command, the power to command your army and soldiers. When allies see this armor, their courage will soar, and when enemies see it, they will be filled with terror.

Ares responded to you, and with his blessing, the skin of the doll you carry began to resemble that of a normal human. When you look at the doll, even as its creator, you can't help but feel a sense of trust in it that comes from the bottom of your heart, and an impulse to give your life for it.

As the blessing of the god of war ended, you planned to leave Thrace and return to Athens. You had received the blessings of Hephaestus and the god of war, and it was time to seek further advice from the goddess of wisdom. However, just as you decided to leave Thrace, the god of war called out to you, saying He needed your help.

Ares claims that his sword has been lost somewhere, and having heard that you have restored the flames in the forge for Hephaestus, he hopes that you will also find his sword.

Ares, the God of War, has issued you a contract—the Sword of the War God. When you find the Sword of the War God, you will receive one trait point and a special land bonus.

Why not answer?

Quinn raised an eyebrow; he had a rough idea of ​​what this God of War was planning.

In the Type-Moon universe, this guy lost to the White Giant, which caused his "concept of the God of War" to fall into the hands of the Star Vanguard. Although there is not much record of this in the official history, in a certain work of the Fate series, the Servant "Attila", who was transformed from the White Giant, held a Noble Phantasm called the Sword of the God of War.

Clearly, news that Vulcan's body had begun to be repaired after I left Vulcan's side had reached the ears of the other Greek gods, causing Ares to also want to repair his body and regain his youth. And this sword of Ares is the key to the other's body repair.

Quinn wouldn't mind helping the God of War, because although this god had a terrible reputation in Greek mythology, in the Roman faith, Ares, or Mars, was a god whose status was no less than Zeus's, and was the guardian god of the Roman land.

To the Romans, Mars was quite loyal.

This also indirectly confirms Ares's character; he is a god who always seeks revenge, but is also exceptionally reliable to those close to him.

[You agreed to Ares' request, and the god of war was overjoyed. He set you to special attention and declared that He had prepared a gift for you, which you would see after you left the temple.]

[You leave the temple out of curiosity, and then the gift of the god of war appears before you: a jar held by the King of Thrace himself.]

"What's in here?" Even from a distance, Quinn could smell the blood emanating from the Thracian king's jar. He looked at it with a strange expression.

Chapter 118

The contents of the jar were unclear; what kind of gift was this?

"This is the blood of the great God of War, who was wounded by an enemy while facing him. The Thracians have collected this blood and have always offered it as tribute in their temples. Now, the God of War wants me to give you this blood. He says you will know how to use this offering. Please accept it." The Thracian king was extremely respectful, but this only made Quinn's expression more and more strange.

Quinn carefully took the jar, made a small opening, and saw what was inside. It wasn't blood, but some kind of reddish, semi-viscous liquid.

This thing... no wonder it's the lubricant inside the God of War's machine, right?

Quinn felt that the contents of the jar looked like tar or something similar, clearly not a benevolent substance. However, he did not refuse it, because as a magician, he had already discovered that this jar of oil was highly integrated with the Thracian faith. Despite its strange shape, it had become something similar to the blood of the gods in nature.

So he accepted the gift and began his journey back to Athens, hoping to find out from Athena what the thing was actually used for.

then……

When you return to Athens and meet Athena again with the gift from the god of war, Athena falls silent. After a long while, the goddess explains the purpose of the gift to you.

This is a nutrient that accelerates the rapid growth of living beings. When given to young children, it can allow them to grow into adults in a short time. When given to adults, it can induce a second growth spurt. Long ago, the gods would bestow this gift upon soldiers favored by the gods in order to cultivate mortal warriors, allowing them to grow rapidly through battle and gain extraordinary physical qualities.

And you, my player.

Because you possess the traits "Robust" and "Aspiring Swordsman," the God of War has seen your predicament of being poor at combat but possessing enormous potential. When you use this gift, you will be able to gain trait experience much faster. Every battle you experience will provide more trait experience for your upgradable traits.

Upon hearing this, Quinn understood.

This is a Red Soul Extractor!

Quinn was extremely excited.

"Now that Ares has given you this item, you can go find Aphrodite. She is not only the goddess of love and beauty, but also the goddess of fertility and growth. She knows how to use this gift. Aren't you collecting the blessings of the gods? You can deal with her at the same time. She is not an easy goddess to get along with. I look forward to seeing how you deal with this goddess, my lovely craftsman and warrior."

Quinn instantly calmed down. He stared at the empty Temple of Athena. Even though Athena's words had been kind, he could almost hear the goddess chuckling in the shadows.

He didn't believe Athena was unaware of the mystery of the apple she had created, nor did he believe that Aphrodite was the only one in all of Greece who knew how to use it.

“Great Goddess of Wisdom, do I have any other choice?” Quinn felt she should try to struggle one more time.

"Of course, the God-King also knows how to use it."

Never mind, I'll go find Aphrodite instead.

Quinn gave up resisting.

The author says:

Author's note: P.S. I've caught a bad cold, so the update might have to be postponed until tomorrow.

Chapter 106 On finding trouble, we must look to Aphrodite

Cyprus Island.

This is the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty. It is said that after Aphrodite was born from sea foam, she landed on this island to welcome the gods' celebration. Therefore, the Greeks who believed in Aphrodite built city-states, settlements, and temples here.

Just as the Thracians, who worship the god of war, have a strong warrior faith, the customs and traditions of the people living on the island of Cyprus largely conform to the aesthetic principles of Aphrodite. Artists and poets are everywhere, and handsome men and beautiful women of all kinds walk the streets. When Quinn came here, it was as if he had returned to his hometown.

The Cypriots had long admired Quinn because of his deeds, and they expected that Quinn would come to this place in search of the blessings of the gods. Therefore, when Quinn arrived on the island by ship, the King of Cyprus personally came to the port to welcome this young man who could make the goddess of beauty unable to forget him.

Quinn had to admit that this was the most enthusiastic reception he had ever received since he began his journey through Greece. While the kings of the city-states he had visited before had also been very welcoming, this was the first time he had been personally greeted by the King of Cyprus. Of course, it would have been even better if the king hadn't looked at him with such an overly eager gaze that it reminded him of Nantong.

Fortunately, the King of Cyprus was not like Nantong; he had a queen and children, and his curiosity about Quinn was based on the goddess's attention to Quinn.

When Quinn arrived in Greece, apart from Hermes and Athena, who were directly connected to the "born of a she-wolf" background, Athena was the first deity to notice Quinn and extend an invitation to him. However, Quinn was reluctant to come to Cyprus. This was something that other kings might not know, but the King of Cyprus did.

Because when the goddess first invited Quinn, she had already instructed the king to prepare a grand welcome, but Quinn did not come.

Your arrival brought great joy to Cyprus. The King of Cyprus personally welcomed you and gave you a feast. After you had rested, he led you to the Temple of Aphrodite. The meeting with the goddess of beauty was much the same as before, which no longer surprised you. You were simply struck by the fact that the Greek gods were indeed in a bad state.

When you were the only one remaining in the entire temple, Aphrodite appeared, and you fell silent.

"You've finally come to see me, beautiful one. I've been waiting for you for so long, umm."

Hey, where did you put me? Is this still Greece?

Quinn looked at the petite blonde girl in the pure white wedding dress before him, and heard her familiar catchphrase and Tange Sakura's voice. He almost thought he was hallucinating. If it weren't for the circuit board patterns on her body that were unique to the Greek Mecha God, he would have thought that a Roman emperor was standing in front of him.

This standard Takeuchi face is too easily recognizable.

“Beautiful one, you seem somewhat dissatisfied with my appearance. Isn’t this the me you imagined?” Just as Quinn was in a daze, Aphrodite spoke up in confusion, “My appearance can fulfill any human’s fantasy, and can transform into the image of the person everyone dreams of.”

Not surprising then.

Quinn suddenly realized that he was referring to how he could see the face of a Roman emperor in Greece. The problem lay there because a Roman emperor in a Fate series he had played before his transmigration had borrowed the power of Venus. Therefore, he had a preconceived notion that the goddess of beauty should have such a face, which led him to see the goddess of beauty as Takeuchi's face now.

"It's my own problem, it has nothing to do with you." Without further ado, Quinn immediately apologized.

This reaction displeased Aphrodite, who was far more human than the gods of fire and war. She frowned slightly, seemingly unable to bear Quinn's self-deprecation. "I have never blamed you, beautiful one. You can be more confident in front of me. You possess the most beautiful and perfect body in the world, a precious crystallization of all creatures on this land. I have always loved beautiful things, so you can treat me normally."

"Would you then bless my creation?"

Since Aphrodite herself had said so, Quinn stopped wasting words, and this straightforward attitude made Aphrodite laugh.

"Of course, beautiful one, you and your creations are to my liking, but there is one more thing I need you to do."

"Please tell me."

"Give your bloodline to me. I cannot bear to see beautiful things die out. I will raise your offspring myself."

Chapter 119

Oh, you really came?

Quinn's brain went blank for a moment.
