The Warrior of Love

Although she thinks this man is weak and pathetic, it is undeniable that he always finds a way out of adversity and is a true hero.

“It’s not time to give up yet!”

Jason roared, and the faint golden light flowing on the surface of the Argo suddenly became larger, and it forced its way towards Poseidon against the surging waves.

It was at this moment that Poseidon attacked. A thick beam of light like a laser shot onto the sea surface, instantly evaporating an unknown amount of sea water. The expanding and exploding thick fog scattered in all directions, making a whimpering sound, as if the sea was crying.

However, because of its sudden acceleration, the Argo avoided the attack and left the laser beam's hit area behind.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of steam came, acting on the sailboat, providing it with huge power, and it crashed head-on into Poseidon's transparent shield!

boom!

In an instant, the sound of countless wood breaking was heard, steel rivets flew everywhere, and the Argo was on the verge of disintegration.

However, at the moment when the keel of the ship completely collapsed, the golden light on Jason and the Argo exploded, and in a trance, only a shocking explosion was heard...

Countless fragments turned into spirit particles and slowly dissipated. The Argonaut... this ship that carried the great deeds of many heroes in Greek mythology was finally completely destroyed.

But its mission had been accomplished. Jason tried his best to tear a crack in the protective shield that disappeared in a blink of an eye at the moment the treasure collapsed. At the critical moment, he finally led his team members into the interior.

"The Argo..."

Jason took a deep breath after looking at the slowly disappearing light particles through the protective shield. To him, that was equivalent to honor and life, and it was definitely not an ordinary treasure.

However... people always have to make choices. Compared to sacrificing the lives of servants to forcibly tear open the shield, just giving up the Noble Phantasm... is quite a good deal.

"Now we can hurt Poseidon, but we have also lost our way of retreat. Do you know what to do?" Jason shouted loudly.

The servants nodded in unison, and the moment they landed on Poseidon and touched the hard outer armor, they began to flee in all directions.

That's right, just run away. They have no reason to fight Poseidon head-on. They just need to keep attracting its attention.

Even though they were as insignificant to Poseidon as fleas were to humans. But... it was unexpectedly difficult for humans to strangle fleas, wasn't it?

But in this way, all the people who were isolated and helpless were also in danger of death... It didn't matter, they were already prepared.

Next, everyone must use their magical powers and try their best to make Poseidon feel uncomfortable and make him as agitated as a buffalo harassed by gadflies!

Jason was also running away, and he protected Cassandra very gentlemanly - this girl's prophetic ability could be used as a lightning rod.

While running away, he quickly glanced at the situation of the crowd. Among the scattered servants, he did not see the familiar strong figure.

"it is good!"

The blond young man clenched his fists secretly: "The plan went well!"

Now Odysseus' fleet and Poseidon were both restrained in different ways, and Hercules hid himself in the chaos.

He has the skill to conceal his aura, and with the magic effects of Medea and Circe, even if you are a god, it would be difficult for you to detect his presence.

Next, as long as he could get to the Fantasy Tree and successfully cut it down, even if everyone died here, it would still be a victory in pan-human history.

In other words, Jason sacrificed everyone just to give Hercules a chance to succeed!

Perhaps the last step of this plan is not so easy.

Perhaps Odysseus has hidden combat power, and there may be traps in the fantasy tree. It is difficult for Hercules, who is isolated and helpless, to break through the enemy's barrier...

However, this was already Jason's limit. He had done everything he could, and the only thing left was to trust in Hercules.

Believe in that man at the risk of everything, just as Jason once did!

Chapter 1091: The Trap of the Imagination Tree

"Noble Phantasm... only one chance?"

About ten meters underwater, a figure like a giant fish was swimming quietly. The war on the sea was blocked by the cold sea water, and Hercules could only hear vague and turbid explosions.

It is hard to say how long the servants of pan-human history can hold out... maybe they will all collapse in the next moment. When Hercules floats up, Odysseus and others who have regrouped are waiting for him.

But just as Jason had done his best and had no choice but to trust Hercules, all he could do at this moment was to show the same trust to the blond young man.

They are not only brothers in the same school, but also comrades in arms, and they are also the few close friends who can understand each other.

The invisible turbulence was very fierce, and the huge whirlpool produced unimaginable pulling force. The turbulence and pulling force coming from all directions acted on each other, as if to tear the man's body into pieces.

Even a servant cannot withstand such pressure. If it were Hector or Achilles, even the green-haired young man with the "Eternal Flower of the Brave" would probably be crushed to death by the powerful pressure.

Even Hercules could only act so calmly with the help of Circe's magic, otherwise just fighting against the undercurrent of chaos would have consumed a considerable amount of his physical strength.

His mission was nothing else but to cut down the fantasy tree.

Although Jiang Liu is in his body and his goal is to force out the alien god's true body, the fantasy tree is also one of the combat targets and can even be used to lure the alien god, so Hercules has no reason to retreat.

The most direct reason why Jason chose him was that Hercules possessed a treasure that could destroy the tree of fantasy. It was a crystallization of fantasy condensed from his life deeds, and even had the possibility of killing gods. It was also the only servant among many servants that had firepower above that of a city.

Activating the Noble Phantasm requires an enormous amount of magical power. Even Hercules can only use it twice a day, so his margin for error in this mission is extremely low.

"Almost?"

The force of the water flow was getting stronger and stronger. Hercules felt that he had reached a certain boundary line, so he slowly floated up.

After breaking through the water, he found that he was far away from the battlefield. He almost walked half a circle along the edge of the whirlpool and came behind the fantasy tree.

Above his head was the shadow cast by the crown of the Fantasy Tree... This huge monster covering the sky was even more majestic than the peak of the Caucasus Mountains when viewed from below.

After Hercules showed up, several obscure waves of magic were heard, and strange figures emerged one after another on the nearby water.

But unlike the sea monsters that entangled the servants, these guys did not lose their minds, nor did they have strange red patterns on their bodies. Instead, they exuded a kind of intelligence. They looked at Hercules from afar, trying to surround him, and did not attack him immediately.

It seems that this monster was not forcibly transformed, but was raised from the beginning.

"Seven in total."

Hercules' heart sank. This force was no longer something that an ordinary servant could handle. Even he could not win the battle quickly. Once there was any delay, the Lostbelt would definitely mobilize more forces.

"no solution anymore!"

The sturdy man raised his right hand, but this time he drew not a dagger, but a heavy wooden stick.

He slapped the sea surface suddenly, stirring up countless waves: "Move, you lazy beasts!"

This sentence seemed like some kind of spell. The sea near Hercules soon surged like boiling water. Majestic figures appeared in the water, revealing fiery red fur and sharp horns. They were muscular bulls!

The point is, there are hundreds of bulls in this group!

Strangely enough, these cows are not afraid of sea beasts, nor will they drown. After being summoned, they rush towards the sea beasts like crazy without any command. Even though their speed in the water is not very fast, they still have the momentum to sweep in all directions.

The herd of cattle quickly entangled the sea beasts. These guys were incredibly strong and had outstanding endurance. Even though the sea beasts had the ability to rival their servants, they were unable to do anything to these crazy guys.

This is also one of the "Twelve Trials" of Hercules. It is the crazy bulls raised by the giant Geryon. Hercules was ordered to snatch these bulls, and in the process he had a head-on conflict with Hera...

These bulls were once driven by Hercules across the strait and arrived at Sicily in Italy, so they are not afraid of the ocean and can fight even in the water.

In terms of level, the mad bulls are only at the "counter-military" level, but they can use the violence of numbers to entangle sea beasts that are far more powerful than them. Of course, they can't hold out for long. After all, Hercules' magic power is not infinite and cannot be maintained forever.

"Final blow!"

The great hero was on the edge of the whirlpool, almost being sucked into the dangerous area of ​​the bottomless abyss, and took out his pitch-black longbow.

Even in the water, while fighting against the undercurrent and pulling the bowstring, his movements were not at all messy. He was still so powerful and muscular, as if he was a statue that had been excavated.

"Real name liberation... huh?!"

Just as he was about to release the treasure, Hercules suddenly frowned: "No response? What's going on..."

He looked at the arrow in confusion, as if wondering why nothing happened.

Logically speaking, his Noble Phantasm should react to a behemoth like the Illusionary Tree and launch a targeted attack... What's going on?

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Hercules' eyes, and the great hero was silent for a moment.

As if he had talked to Jiang Liu in his mind, Hercules suddenly opened his eyes, full of shock and anger.

"No! Could this mean... Damn it! This thing is not a fantasy tree at all!"

At the same time, on the other side of the whirlpool, Odysseus, the man of steel, who was commanding the battle, paused and then turned his gaze to the other side of the fantasy tree.

Although he couldn't see, he could learn from the information sent by the sea beast that enemies had invaded the Fantasy Tree.

"It's amazing. Did they break through the defense of the Machine God O Poseidon?"

Even though they are enemies, Odysseus cannot help but pay respect to the opposing commander.

Even though he was not at an advantage in terms of military strength, he was able to break through the defenses of Chiron, Poseidon, and project his combat power to the edge of the Maelstrom. Even though it was a desperate and almost suicidal tactic... his courage was still worthy of respect.

If possible, Odysseus hoped to have a chance to have a fair, face-to-face confrontation with the opponent, without any other things involved, just a contest between two commanders... but unfortunately.

"It's a shame you never had a chance to win from the beginning."

Odysseus raised his hand, as if responding to some invisible being.

"Because that fantasy tree is just a reflection of the real fantasy tree... This is a trap, my enemies!"

At the same time, in the distant space, in the iron fortress located in the geosynchronous orbit, the machine god called "Artemis" began to gather magic power.

Hercules, who had just discovered the scam of the fantasy tree, raised his head as if he had realized something and looked towards the end of the sky very seriously, as if he could directly see the steel fortress.

"Oh no……"

This was not the first time that thing attacked Hercules, so he was well aware of its power. If the target was Jason or Achilles, there would definitely be no survivors.

Even if Odysseus didn't want to accidentally hurt his friends and turned his target to him, it would be quite troublesome...

——However, Hercules had no time to think. In just three seconds, a huge amount of magic power was concentrated on the muzzle of the Luna Cannon.

call!

"farewell……"

The Man of Steel swung his hand down heavily.

"This is your end."

[You are the gold that penetrates the stars]!

The arrow of light penetrated the atmosphere and hit a corner of the vortex.

boom! !

Like a comet hitting the moon, the destructive energy emptied out all matter, billions of tons of seawater were evaporated in an instant, the direction of the entire vortex was forcibly reversed, and a huge hole appeared on the sea surface, which was quickly filled with the incoming seawater...

But Hercules, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 1092: You, the glory that penetrates the giant god!

"Cough...cough cough!"

In the surging tide, a man climbed onto a piece of the shattered corpse of a sea monster. Under his messy black hair like seaweed was a face full of masculine beauty. It was Hercules, but his iconic lion skin had disappeared.

"The target is me... no wonder."

Hercules gasped for air and regained some strength. He curled his lips into a smile that was unclear whether it was anger or murderous intent.

It was normal for Odysseus to set his target here. After all, there was only a fake fantasy tree and a group of sea beasts here, so it would not be a pity even if they were blown up. Jason and Achilles, on the other hand, had their own friendly units, so it would be best if they could not abandon them.

Moreover, those who are sent to cut down the fantasy tree must be the strongest fighting force in the history of mankind. As long as they are wiped out, they can declare victory.

But Odysseus might not have thought, or dared not imagine, that someone could escape from Luna's orbital cannon twice in a row!

If it happens only once, it's shocking but understandable, as it was when Odysseus saw Hercules the second time.

After all, if there is a causal-level resurrection treasure, it is possible to revive and escape even when there is no trace of the body left.

But this kind of treasure should have great limitations and cannot be effective all the time, so Odysseus was confident that even Hercules would not be able to survive again... Facts have proved that he was wrong.

The previous time, it was Jiang Liu who secretly helped Hercules to escape safely. But this time, Jiang Liu did not help. It was Hercules who gave up his lion skin, at the cost of temporarily blocking the orbital cannon, and then escaped into the deep sea.

After all, although the lion skin has the concept of "blocking all weapons", nothing is absolute in this world, even the treasure has its limits...

Just like the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky and Achilles' World Shield, even conceptual defenses will become fragile under absolute violence.

After enduring the bombardment of the Luna Orbital Cannon, Hercules had lost the lion skin forever... In the subsequent battles, he could no longer remain calm.

Of course, no matter what happens in the future, the most important thing for him is to try his best to get through the current difficulties.

"Half a minute has passed, and there have been no additional attacks... Do you think I'm dead?"

【should be. 】

"This fantasy tree..."

[It is not a simple illusion. If it were, it would be impossible to hide it from others. It should be a "real reflection" projected from another dimension. This imaginary tree does exist, but it exists in another dimension.]
