Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

Although Ash had seen Hercules three months ago, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he actually faced this hero offline, looked at his resolute face, his messy yet powerful long hair, and his well-defined body full of spirit and strength.

Even if the glorious name of Hera is removed, even if Ash has seen Asterios who is stronger and taller than him, Ash will still know that the man in front of him is the strongest hero in Greece with the ultimate body.

Perhaps, his strongest form could even remove the prefix "Greece".

He is indeed a man who has the blood of Zeus, is breastfed by Hera, and possesses the power of a main god as a demigod.

The living Hercules is truly the strongest being visible to the naked eye.

however.

"In terms of weapons and cavalry, I am not as good as Castor."

"When it comes to hand-to-hand combat and boxing, I'm not as good as Pollux."

"I am not as good as Orpheus in singing poetry."

"When it comes to drawing a bow and arrow, I'm not as good as Teacher Chiron."

"When it comes to steering a long voyage, I'm not as good as Argo."

"I'm not omnipotent, nor am I the strongest." The strongest hero displayed a humility that ordinary people could hardly understand, and expressed his own opinion, "I may not be the best in Greece."

Where did this all-round academic master come from? How can he be so Versailles?

If someone else had said this, Ash would probably have already started complaining in his heart.

But there was no trace of boasting or modesty on the face of the strongest hero, only a determined look.

Ash could be sure that this man was not looking forward to a strong opponent or challenge, but believed from the bottom of his heart that he was not the strongest.

This made Ash curious. Why didn't this well-deserved strongest man in Greece recognize his own status?

After much thought, he could only come up with one answer.

The most powerful hero does not think that he has the best character and achievements to match.

The reason why he thought so was because of his name.

Hercules.

The glory of being hated and cursed by Hera and committing the crime of filicide.

But even so, Ash still believes that he is the real strongest.

"If you are not the strongest in Greece, who can match you?"

"A hero with flaws is still a hero after all, and cannot be replaced by others." Ash said bluntly, "You are so modest, isn't it making it difficult for other heroes to do their job?"

"..."

The strongest hero's eyes were stern. Although there was a sense of oppression, there was also a little bit of the fireworks of returning to the mortal world.

"So, I was wrong," Hercules apologized decisively, but he didn't retract his previous statement. "However, I still think I'm not the strongest."

Seeing that there was no dispute between the two, the great sage Centaur, who was in the middle, breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak.

"Hercules, you really are... You said your archery skills were not as good as mine, but that was all many years ago."

"You've defeated the Nemean Lion, the serpent Hydra, and even captured the doe of Ceryne," Chiron said with a wry smile. "If you say that again, it'll be very stressful for me."

While Chiron was teasing, the Dioscuri twins not far away also joined in the conversation.

"The same goes for armor and cavalry." Castor frowned and said displeasedly, "You learned these from me before, but if it came to actual combat, I couldn't beat you."

"Boxing, too." Pollux said teasingly, "Your fists are bigger than my face now. How could I possibly beat you?"

Faced with the teasing of his three teachers and friends, the cold-blooded hero did not make any rebuttal.

He looked at the boy surrounded by his three teachers, extended his hand and introduced himself: "I am Hercules, Hercules of Mycenae."

"I'm Ash Adonis, from Eleusis." Ash shook Hercules' hand and smiled. "I apologize for going too far just now."

"I made mistakes too, so how can I forgive you?"

Hercules changed the subject and continued, "I have heard of your deeds. You conquered the riddle of the Sphinx with your wisdom and solved the prophecy and crisis of Thebes once and for all. You also solved the world-famous Great Labyrinth of Crete with your wisdom and rescued the master craftsman Daedalus."

Not a buddy?

I did use some intelligence when solving puzzles, but this time I solved the maze using purely classical mechanics... Where's the intelligence in this?

Ash couldn't help but explain, "Daedalus's labyrinth is beyond human power. I only relied on Asterios' power."

"Being able to solve the maze directly with strength is a manifestation of wisdom," Hercules said. "There's no need to be so modest."

Okay, okay, so this is awkward, right?

I really didn't expect that you, the strongest Greek player with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could play this game seriously!

"I was just being sneaky." Ash suppressed his nervousness and asked Hercules, "Hercules, your arrival means your record has been updated again, right?"

"Yes," Hercules said truthfully, "I went to Erymanthus as requested and captured the wild boar that was wreaking havoc there."

Hearing Hercules' answer, the three demigods present were all surprised.

"It's been less than a week since you caught the Hind of Ceryne," Chiron said incredulously. "You just caught the sacred deer, and now you're going after the boar?"

"Yes," Hercules said, "On my way home, I passed by the house of Phorus. The Centaurs treated me to Dionysus's fine wine and then had me fight with other Centaurs who wanted to take the wine."

"I chased them here," Hercules said. "They were trying to escape here, but the Cretan princess came to their aid. She used magic to cast a wall to block their path, allowing me to defeat them all."

"As the price for your help, Lady Ariadne took my Hydra's venom and poisoned arrows," Hercules said somewhat awkwardly. "If I want to defeat the monster again, I'm afraid I'll have to put in a lot more effort."

After listening to Hercules' description, the three demigods present fell silent.

"The Centaurs...the Centaurs originally wanted to surrender to me. Let me intercede for them," Chiron said with a rather sad sigh. "I never expected that they would be stopped by Her Majesty Ariadne. It seems they have finally paid the price for their stinginess and cruelty."

Hearing Chiron's sigh, Hercules couldn't help but look surprised, and then showed an expression of relief.

Ash could understand Hercules's relief.

In the original myth, the enraged Hercules would chase the Centaurs who had provoked him to the ends of the earth until they were all dead. The Centaurs who were chased to the end of their ways would go to Chiron's home to seek help from this great sage who, though not of the same race as them, also had the appearance of a Centaur.

After that, Chiron was accidentally wounded by Hercules' arrow which was poisoned by Hydra. He was in so much pain that he gave up his immortality and died as a human.

Not only that, Pholus, who warmly entertained Hercules, would touch the arrow that Hercules used to kill the Centaur out of curiosity, and was then scratched by the arrow and killed by Hydra's poison.

This series of events may just be a coincidence, but it is undoubtedly a tragedy.

In order to change this tragedy, Ash asked Ariadne to interfere with Hercules while holding down Chiron.

As for why he asked Ariadne to intervene with Hercules instead of doing it himself...

Ash could only say... Hercules might not know him, but he definitely knew Ariadne!

He also believed that even the furious Hercules would probably be forced to calm down after seeing Ariadne's face that looked so much like his sister.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Ash's consideration.

"...At that time, I was enraged by the Centaurs' attacks. If Her Majesty Ariadne hadn't stopped them, I might have pursued them right here, Chiron, and accidentally injured you."

Hercules recalled the situation and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems... I owe Her Majesty Ariadne a favor."

"As a subordinate god, I can't foresee the future, but I believe Ariadne saved my life." Chiron sighed, looking at Ash beside him, and said, "But... maybe... it's not just Ariadne's credit?"

"That's right, you don't owe me a favor."

When Ash saw that Chiron had seen the truth, he wanted to say it was just a small favor, but a fragrant breeze came and held his arm.

When he turned around, he saw a beautiful girl with purple hair and blue eyes. She smiled sweetly and said, "It was Ash who asked me to help you. If you want to thank anyone, you should thank him."

Seeing Ariadne like this, Chiron's face showed understanding, but Hercules' expression was extremely complicated.

If you were to describe the expression of the strongest hero, it would be like the legendary color palette, with three parts of surprise, three parts of fear and four parts of tension, and he has become a "strong king" of the age of gods.

To be more specific, the strongest hero in Greece seemed to be seeing his sister, who had always taken good care of him since he was a child and was extremely domineering and could twist the top of his head at any time. She was speaking in a coquettish voice to the unsuspecting people and acting like a fragrant little can of tea - even if this scene was not horrific, it was at least thrilling!

Father God, is this still my goddess sister who is in charge of victory and wisdom?

Although my... third brother-in-law is indeed the most beautiful young man I have ever seen, worthy of the favor of the gods, but ah, isn't my attitude towards him a little... too outrageous?

Thinking of this, Hercules couldn't help but look closely at Ashu's face.

Father God, besides Athena, how come Ash also has the blessings of Artemis... Persephone... and even Aphrodite?

Should I call him eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, or third brother-in-law?

Looking at the goddess-like aura emanating from Ash, Greece's strongest hero could no longer maintain a straight expression and smiled in relief.

"Brother-in-law, ahem... I mean, Ash..." Hercules sorted out his words and couldn't help laughing, "Let me be the second in Greece."

"Huh?" Ash was a little surprised when he heard that. "If you're second, who's qualified to be first?"

"As for the answer..." Hercules patted Ash's shoulder and said meaningfully, "I don't know either..."

Not my friend? You're saying something else!

What's with that expression on your face, as if you've seen a top-notch pressure-resistant king, and you're giving the MVP to someone else?

When Hercules answered like this, Ash immediately understood what he meant.

then.

I tried to help you change your destiny, but you treat me like this, right?

Just wait and see, when you are turned into a slave by others, I will come and laugh at you!

Ash, who was entangled by the terrifying goddesses, broke down and remembered the little notebook in his heart.

After finishing his notebook, Ash, unable to resist Ariadne's affection, changed the subject with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Now that Hercules has returned, Asclepius has no reason to refuse the ship's doctor, right?"

"Asclepius?" Hearing Ash mention his classmate, Hercules' expression of sudden enlightenment reappeared. "Hey, sir... Why did Her Majesty Ariadne ask me to bring him back with the boar after reporting back? So he hasn't even started working as a ship's doctor yet?"

"You've captured Asclepius?" Ashi asked in surprise. "Where's he?"

"Uh..." Hercules put on a hard expression again, "...He kept making scalpel gestures at me all the way, so I asked him to go see Hypnos..."

Oh my god Hypnos, can’t you just knock him out?

Ash was a little speechless and said, "Where is he? Take me to see him."

Hercules nodded, took off the lion skin bag from his back, placed it on the ground, and slowly spread it out.

Then, Ash saw a white-haired young man with squinty eyes and a body as straight as a salted fish.

"I'm Chao." Ash couldn't help but swear, "You brought him here like this?"

"I left an air hole in the package, don't worry." Hercules smiled awkwardly. "Trust me, you'll know why I did this when he wakes up."

Seeing Hercules like this, Ash immediately gave up the idea of complaining.

After all, he also knew how abstract the mental state of Asclepius, the god of medicine, was.

Ash thought for a moment, pulled out a kettle from his pocket, and poured water on Asclepius' face.

"Hmm..." Asclepius woke up slowly and asked in disbelief, "Where am I?"

"Are you awake?" Seeing the God of Medicine like this, Ash couldn't help but make a joke, "The operation was successful, you have become a girl~"

"Uh...girl?"

"If it doesn't affect your brain or lifespan, then it's nothing." Asclepius paused for a moment, then said, "Compared to such a trivial matter...where's my scalpel?"

"Here's your scalpel." Hercules took out the scalpel and said seriously, "As long as you promise not to use surgery on me again, I will return it to you."

"Then I don't want it." Asclepius said calmly, "If I can't study your body, that kind of tool is unnecessary."

"..." Hercules looked at Ash, who was also silent, and said helplessly, "Look... you can understand me, right?"

"...To be honest, I do understand you." Ash nodded silently and said, "How about you ask him to talk to Hypnos again?"

"Don't--"

Before Asclepius could finish his words, Hercules wordlessly stabbed him and sent him to sleep again.

After temporarily dealing with the troublesome ship's doctor, Ash thought for a moment, looked at the Athena trumpet that was close to him, and changed the subject: "The only one we haven't recruited yet is Orpheus, right?"

"Orpheus has also gone to the Argo to wait for orders." Ariadne said with a smile, "Now we can go to the Argo to spend our honeymoon... and begin the adventure!"

No, sister, why are your true feelings becoming more and more obvious?

If I take you on board, won't I be in jail every day?

"Uh... the Argo is full of heroes... bringing a female companion with me... isn't that a bad idea?" Ash thought for a moment and unleashed his prepared rhetoric on Ariadne. "It's not that I'm afraid of delaying you, but it's mainly because this would have a negative impact on me, the entire fleet, and the gods... right?"

however.
