Chapter 155: Shooting Hundred Heads? Kratos and Hercules Protect You

What does Kokonos have?

He doesn't even have a decent divine tool.

He just inherited a part of the divine blood, perhaps the power from his father Poseidon.

This allows it to ignore most of Achilles' attacks.

This also confirmed what Ye had thought before, that those powerful gods were born with extraordinary bodies and did not need to rely on heavenly fire or the Styx to strengthen the hardness of their bodies.

I'm afraid all the gods are immortal and have bodies of steel.

Unfortunately, Cycnos was too arrogant and careless. He stood there and let Achilles attack him, trying to show off his ease and elegance in controlling the battlefield like a god of war.

Why not learn from anyone else? Learn from Ares. I would like to criticize him again here.

Because of his arrogance, the Greeks even took revenge after his death, plundered his country and kidnapped his young son.

Originally, he might have become famous on the battlefield like Achilles, Hector and others.

However, because of his arrogance, he died even younger than Achilles. He died without even achieving any decent results, wasting his powerful talent in vain.

Speaking of talent, although the Steel Body is invulnerable to swords and guns, it is not truly immortal. It can withstand attacks from any sharp weapon in the world, but cannot withstand blunt blows.

After thinking about it, Achilles died after being shot through the heel.

Obviously, heroes like Achilles and Cycnos have a fatal weakness.

Although their skin is as hard as iron, their internal organs are still fragile.

Just a joke, an immortal can be strangled to death.

Anyway-

In terms of actual combat power, we can actually see from mythology that the comparison of combat power levels between heroes is not absolute.

Relatively speaking, they pay more attention to compatibility, that is, special attack is more important than anything else.

Once you are restrained by the enemy hero, even if you are as strong as Achilles, you will become a powerless wimp, and can only rage helplessly.

The reason why Achilles and Hector can become the strongest is that they have basically no shortcomings compared to other heroes. Their comprehensiveness allows them to face most heroes and switch combat postures freely to win.

The current Ye is also a comprehensive hero, commonly known as a hexagonal warrior, with no shortcomings...

He thought that if he wanted to fight Cycnos, it might be more effective to just hit him with his fists. If Achilles' strength could do it, there was no reason why he, who had even stronger wrist strength, couldn't do it.

Just hit him on the temple - you don't even need to strangle him yourself after he's knocked him unconscious, just throw him into the water and suffocate him to death?

If the son of Poseidon could really die like this, it would definitely be a very ironic and interesting scene.

At this moment, the hero Kukonos, who had no idea that his escort target, Griffith, had awakened, suddenly shuddered and felt a deep sense of malice.

After the carriage traveled for a while, it finally arrived in front of a city.

This small city was clearly not Troy, with its great walls that even the gods could not cross.

"We're here... Go and ask the princesses to get off the car." Kukonos ordered his men. At this time, he still didn't realize that Griffith had woken up.

But now that he's here, what happens next is not his responsibility.

At this moment, in the carriage, Ye was stroking a bow with an ancient shape and an arrow with a dark red tip that looked like the mark of dried blood.

That was something Philoctetes left for him before he left, and it was suspected to be the weapons used by Hercules during his lifetime.

According to the description in the myth -

After Hercules accomplished many heroic deeds, the gods collectively gave him a wave of gifts.

Hermes gave him a sword, Apollo gave him a bow, Hephaestus gave him a golden quiver, and Athena gave him a brand new bronze shield.

At this moment, the arrow in Ye's hand was taken out from the golden quiver.

So this should be the magic bow that Apollo gave to Hercules.

In the neighboring universe, Kratos also obtained this bow by chance, or many of Kratos' heroic trials overlap with Hercules' script. Now Mako has inherited his grandfather's ambition?

Ye: 'Shoot a hundred heads?'

If this weapon is the divine weapon used in Hercules' great deeds and achievements.

The lethality of this set of bow and arrow equipment is not simple.

Hercules used it to shoot and kill the nine-headed Hydra, the offspring of Typhon, the king of Greek monsters, and Echidna, the mother of all monsters.

If Typhon's counterpart among monsters is Zeus, then the nine-headed Hydra's counterpart is the twelve main gods.

Although there is still some water in this comparison.

But even if this thing didn't directly kill the twelve main gods, its power is definitely at the top level among all the bow and arrow divine tools.

This is truly a great gift.

It even makes people unable to hold back and want to use the blood of a god to sharpen its sword for the first time in a long time.

However, although Ye had learned archery, he had only learned some basic techniques from Hector and was far from being an excellent archer.

As Ye aspires to be an all-round warrior, he plans to find a partner with excellent archery skills to learn the art of archery when he has the chance.

After all, he is not an archer like Shanshan who can directly use Wangcai and throw weapons in the air to kill the target.

And when I felt the carriage stopped.

'Reached? ’

Without waiting for the messenger soldier to approach, Ye slowly stood up, and the two sisters had already put on their clothes.

Seeing this, no longer hesitated——

Ye carried the divine bow on his back and walked out of the carriage.

!!!

When the man who was clearly handsome came to life and walked out of the carriage, the soldiers around him suddenly became nervous, looking as if they had seen a ferocious beast.

Ye's strong body, even if he just stood there and made some random movements, was quite intimidating to these ordinary mortals.

“…!! G…Griffith-sama!”

Griffith, the hero who defeated the God of the Sea and the God of War, has awakened.

But soon, something surprising happened.

The battle he expected did not occur. Instead, the soldiers knelt down and suddenly saluted him.

"Salute to the great and brave hero Griffith who defeated the god of war Ares!"

"It's great to see you wake up safely."

"Goddess Athena is waiting for you in the temple ahead. Let your old acquaintance take care of the rest."

The hero Cycnos rode his horse to the front of Ye, bowed respectfully to show his respect for Ye's strength and bravery, and then pointed him in the direction to go.

When seeing Kuknos's genuine respect and non-hostile attitude, Ye was slightly surprised.

He did not seem to be here because of his father Poseidon's defeat on the battlefield.

However, he only mentioned his record of defeating Ares, and did not mention Poseidon's equally embarrassing performance. This was probably the last fig leaf.

In this regard, Ye did not intend to add insult to injury or emphasize the results of the god-killing war.

He frowned slightly...

I don’t know what kind of medicine this Kukonos is selling, especially since he also mentioned Athena?!

Chapter 156: The correct attack route—the enemy stores food, I store guns!

Has Athena arrived ahead of time?

Was it her will to have these soldiers send her here?

I always felt that something was wrong. I strangely sensed something was wrong and decided to take it one step at a time.

For the time being, I put aside the idea of ​​killing Kuknos here.

Apart from his somewhat disgusting father, Kuknos has a good character except for his arrogant temperament.

At least when Troy was in trouble, compared to other allies who initially shirked their responsibilities, he took the initiative to come to support, which was already very good.

If it wasn't necessary, Ye didn't want to kill the living fighting force of Troy.

"I will go and pay my respects to the goddess myself..." Ye replied.

He did not ask why the other party changed the destination and changed the route to Troy to this unknown city-state.

Perhaps everything can only be revealed after meeting the goddess Athena in the Temple of Athena.

Then Ye opened the curtain of the carriage, grabbed the hands of Chryseis and Briseis and led them down one by one.

"Follow me closely later..." Ye whispered to the two sisters.

The two sisters, noticing the strange atmosphere, nodded.

Just now in the carriage, they also heard what Kuknos said.

Although he doesn't have the strong intuition that Ye has as a hero.

But a woman's sixth sense and the feeling of incongruity when she said goodbye to the goddess Athena before leaving.

If it was Athena's order, why didn't she make it clear directly at that time?

But in Greece, no one would be bold enough to forge the goddess's will and issue an oracle.

The two people who were confused——but they knew one thing very well, they just had to follow the hero's steps closely.

And when Ye led Chryseis and the others to the front of the army, he saw another group of people waiting ahead.

The 'old acquaintance' who was in the lead made Ye stunned.

"Diomedes?"

Why is he here?

Could it really be Athena's oracle?

Although he had gone through all the things that happened before, he could be considered to have shared the hardships with Athena, even though it was a bit shameful that Athena had been helping him unilaterally.

But in the interaction with this virgin goddess, Ye had the idea of ​​turning her into a 'partner' and continuing to be a comrade-in-arms - perhaps he could try to pull Athena to the Trojan camp.

But before he even started trying to convince Athena, Athena had already brought her followers over from the Greek camp?

night:……

According to his original idea.

Since the god of war Ares ran to Greece.

Then in order to make up for the fact that Troy is missing a big boss, I can directly win over the stronger Athena. Isn't that more cost-effective than losing a god of war?

The goddess of wisdom Athena could not bear to see the world engulfed in war, and she was also the patron saint who brought up Troy.

Although the old king of Troy's actions of not paying for the construction of the city and driving people away not only offended Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo, but also disappointed Athena, and when the golden apple was presented, Paris did not choose Athena and offended the goddess again.

This ultimately led to Athena giving up on Troy's side in the war.

Of the three goddesses, Paris chose the weakest one.

Should we say that it is worthy of being a thing that has entered history in the brain?

He didn't want the power Athena wanted to give him so that he could become stronger, and he didn't want the authority and status Hera wanted to give him either. He just wanted beauty.

Once you have power or the most powerful position of authority, why not just go and rob people?

The enemy stores food and I store guns. The enemy is my granary.

Putting aside the personal grudges with Paris and others, Troy and Athens in Greece were originally Athena's main business bases. For Athena, it was appropriate to stand on either side in the war between the gods.

From the perspective of the original mythology, the goddess of beauty, Apollo, and the god of war can all stand on the side of Troy.

Although Zeus decided that Troy would lose in the end, he did not place too many restrictions on which side the gods would stand on.

Theoretically, if handled properly, it is not impossible to trick the patron saint of Troy back.
