Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?

3. Temple of Skulls (k)

"Hey, Nuoyan didn't kill him."

Hermes expressed regret as he watched Antaeus being thrown into the sea.

"Do you think he's a fool like you?"

Athena spoke to Hermes bluntly. She naturally had a bad face for this traitor who had once stolen the golden apple with her but now shamelessly became Hera's lackey.

"Artemis calm down, calm down!"

Hestia smiled and pretended to pull the moon goddess Artemis.

"Don't pull me, let me go. He actually dared to bully Xiao Nuoyan. I'm going to shoot him to death!" Artemis said angrily.

"Why do I feel like it's Antaeus who's being bullied..." Hades muttered softly, but no one paid any attention to this honest man.

"Poseidon, you saw the whole process. Although my child did not choose to kill him, I don't want him to appear on the earth again. Do you understand?"

Queen Hera frowned and spoke majestically to Poseidon, the god of the sea.

"No problem." Poseidon said it didn't matter. His children were all over the world anyway. And because Nuoyan did not kill Antaeus, Poseidon not only did not hate Nuoyan because of this, but instead had some good feelings towards him.

The gods witnessed this battle,

For a long time after the battle, Helen was obviously unable to react and looked at Nuoyan in a daze.

Nuoyan looked at the cute little girl. Although he really wanted to ask her about Theseus and Dioscuri right away, this was not the place to have a conversation.

Not far away, the temple made of piles of human heads was emitting an extremely foul smell.

And with the departure of Antaeus, without his suppression... or more precisely, without the protection of the Mother Earth, the resentment, anger and fear gathered in the Temple of the Skulls began to get out of control little by little.

It was as if some monster was brewing.

"A gift to Poseidon, the god of the sea..." Nuoyan said softly.

Then he turned his head to look at Tianma who had returned to his side, and found that it was also staring at that place with a visibly serious expression.

Obviously he noticed it.

So Nuoyan took out the painting again, and saw that Antaeus, who was originally full of vigor and vitality in the painting, had fallen into the deep sea.

In the painting, a dark cloud appeared in the sky above the Temple of the Skull, and a terrifying vengeful spirit was gradually gathering and roaring.

"...Should I go ask the goddess teacher for an instruction manual?" He once again deeply felt the extraordinary promise of this magic weapon in his hand, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Purification?" Then Nuoyan took the pure white feather brush and tentatively touched the painting lightly.

The shadow of the evil spirit in the painting actually shook for a moment, but soon solidified again.

But in this way, it was as if one had sensed the danger.

Red clouds actually gradually gathered above the temple, and a strong wind was brewing on the peninsula, mixed with the resentment of the dead.

Due to their large numbers, these negative emotions gradually gathered above the temple and formed a huge skeleton monster, which also looked at Nuoyan and Helen.

Helen looked at the scene in shock. She was so scared that she subconsciously leaned her body on Nuoyan.

"Chiu?" Tianma called out to Nuoyan, asking him if he wanted to leave now. They actually didn't need to worry about this matter.

But Nuoyan thought about it and shook his head.

Nuoyan actually understood that the gods should still be watching here.

But he really couldn't be sure whether those guys would solve the problem after he left... To be precise, given their personalities, they would most likely be too lazy to move.

What's more, this is a gift from Antaeus to Poseidon, the god of the sea.

So he thought about the promise for a while, and then took out a painting from the sky. In the painting was a beautiful dark butterfly. He gently touched the painting, and then a group of dark butterflies flew out of the painting and gathered in front of them to form a flawless goddess in a black dress.

She wore a black veil, with her long hair draped behind her like the night, and her beautiful red eyes stared quietly at the boy in front of her.

This goddess looks so elegant and beautiful, but in fact...

Hecate was now devastated.

Ever since Circe's trial, Hecate knew that she was in trouble. She tried every means to prevent it, but still failed.

But she really couldn't understand. There are so many main gods watching over you. You can just pull out any one of them to solve this little trouble. Is it necessary for you to call me specifically?

And if you are not allowed to draw, you will secretly draw the familiar, right!

Hecate's inner emotions were extremely rich, but not a single trace of them was visible on her face. In Helen's eyes, this goddess who suddenly appeared was beautiful and mysterious.

Then Hecate's red eyes glanced gently at the monster formed by the gathering of resentful spirits in the distance, and took out the lamp of the underworld that she had given to Nuoyan and Persephone.

In the dim light of the dark lamp, the phantom of an ancient door appeared in the world with the help of the dim light of the dark lamp.

That is the gate to the underworld, representing the boundary between the human world and the underworld.

The door slowly opened, and then a three-headed dog as big as a hill walked out.

The moment it walked out, the vengeful monster obviously froze, as if it had met its natural enemy, and its whole body began to tremble, causing the entire temple on its head to shake, as if it would collapse at any time.

But that is indeed its natural enemy, because that is Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell guarding the gate to the underworld!

When Cerberus walked out and pounced on the evil spirit monster, Hecate gently threw the lamp in her hand into the sky under the red clouds.

The dark lantern came to the sky and stopped, and its faint light extinguished the ominous dark clouds in the sky, and the place returned to darkness.

Then a road of no return appeared at the feet of Nuoyan, Helen and others. White flowers of the other shore were blooming on both sides of the road. This was the road to the underworld.

Ignoring the wails of the evil spirits, Cerberus vigorously rammed the temple formed by the skulls, pushed it to the road, and pushed it into the ancient gate little by little.

The vengeful spirit was roaring and struggling to resist, but it seemed so powerless in front of its natural enemy Cerberus, and soon it fell from the human world into the endless abyss.

Hecate finished the work, and before Nuoyan could even say thank you, she jumped into the gate the next second.

And before leaving, he did not forget to take away the painting of the Dark Butterfly in Nuoyan's hand.

Don't come to me again next time! ...This is Hecate's silent protest.

Nuoyan didn't say anything about this. He just watched her finish the painting with extraordinary calmness.

But after she left, Nuoyan immediately took the painting out from the sky again, as if... No, he did it on purpose.

Just like the torn painting of Pegasus in the underworld back then, as long as Nuoyan had drawn it once, he would not need to draw it again. He could directly rely on the artifact in his hand to take out the original painting in the sky.

As soon as the promise was taken out, Hecate stretched out her hand from the underworld and snatched it back.

She snatched it back and Nuoyan took it out again.

After the two of them fought over the painting several times, Hecate stopped moving.

Nuoyan raised the corners of his mouth, knowing that he had broken down the goddess.

The Pegasus stood aside, watching his little master teasing the goddess in silence. He actually wanted to say to the goddess Hecate, you're doing it the wrong way.

Although it was always known that Nuoyan had a small grudge, both the Pegasus and the gods saw it as an amusing display.

After all, although it was revenge, Nuoyan's friends have not suffered any retaliation so far. Instead, they have been receiving Nuoyan's kindness.

Therefore, even Tenma thought that Nuoyan was just playing at the beginning, until the hunt for Hermes was over.

At that moment everyone suddenly realized that Nuoyan was not pretending. He was really petty and would never let go of any grudge!

In this way, the reason why Nuoyan was thinking about Hecate was very simple. Every time she saw Nuoyan, she could not hide the disgust on her face.

At first, Nuoyan didn't think it was a big deal, but as time went by and they met more often, even if it wasn't recorded in the grudge book, it was already in his heart.

The temple of the skull was taken to the underworld by the three-headed dog of hell. As the goddess left, the underworld road disappeared, and the originally dim peninsula welcomed the sun again.

Nuoyan looked at the picture in his hand again, which showed Antaeus sinking into the deep sea, and the painting of the Temple of the Skull in the endless abyss.

With a chuckle, he threw it away.

It was seen floating in the air, and soon it turned into dust and completely dissipated.

"Sorry for wasting some time."

Now that everything was finally over, Nuoyan reached out and rubbed Helen's head again, as she was clinging to him and had not yet fully recovered from her shock.

"Let's go, I'll take you home now." Nuoyan said softly to Helen with a smile.

Hearing the gentle voice beside her ear, Helen naturally looked up and looked at Nuoyan.

The devil's eye that could easily take away a man's mind reflected the figure of the young man in front of him.

As the two looked at each other, Helen was soon surprised to find that even though they were looking at each other like this, her magic eyes seemed to have no effect at all.

Those beautiful emerald eyes were still as clear and bright as ever.

After all, the goddess of wisdom once took a hair from Nuoyan's body and bound his hair, while also protecting him so that the gods could not peek into his heart and allowing him to maintain a bit of wisdom no matter what the circumstances.

In fact, if Nuoyan had feelings for Helen, her magic eyes would indeed be able to capture Nuoyan's mind. Not to mention making Nuoyan fall in love with her all of a sudden, at least it would make Nuoyan have strange feelings towards her.

But Nuoyan now just wants to find Theseus and kill this lolita control!

On the Trojan battlefield, at the end of the war, the victorious soldiers and heroes came to Helen.

But their swords and spears, which could pierce the enemy and bring them victory, could not penetrate Helen's body.

Even when Helen walked towards them, everyone dropped their weapons without hesitation for fear of hurting her... This was Helen.

In ancient Greek mythology, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Helen looked at the young man in front of her and he stretched out his hand to her, and after she came to her senses, she put her hand in his.

Chapter 3 Helen, I want to see someone (k)

"Helen, do you know that I once met a very interesting person at Teacher Chiron's place?" Sister Pollux's laughter echoed in Helen's ears.

Helen did know, or rather knew about the existence of the promise very early on.

Because it was not only her who was born from the goose egg, but also the future Gemini Dioscuri.

The twins were also friends of Nuoyan, crew members of the Argo.

"His name is Nuoyan. He is a very weak guy, just like a girl... No, it's a bit rude to say that to a girl. Although it's a bit exaggerated, I always feel that he is so weak that he might not even be able to beat the small animals you raise, sister!"

In the corridor of the palace of the Kingdom of Sparta,

Pollux, the younger twin sister who had the same dazzling golden hair as Helen, once said this to Helen with a smile.

At that time, they were holding baskets in their hands, which were filled with freshly picked bright fruits. The light of the setting sun stretched their shadows very long.

"That's why no one wants to let him go down the mountain, because he could die too easily."

"But sister, don't underestimate him because of this. Both my brother and I believe that he will become a hero famous throughout ancient Greece in the future. He may even be more famous than us!"

Why? ... Helen remembered clearly that she had asked this question in surprise.

"Well... I don't know, it's just a feeling. My brother and I both have this feeling!"

Pollux smiled and replied to Helen: "It is an indescribable feeling. Maybe when you see it, sister Helen, you will understand it."

Because of her magic eyes, Helen had limited room to move around in the palace.

Even if you go to the temple to worship, you can only go to the temples of the virgin goddess Artemis or the goddess of wisdom Athena, and you can't even enter the temple of the queen of heaven Hera.

And she was expressly forbidden to meet any man.

So Helen felt that there was no way she could see the promise.

But when she told this to Pollux.

"It doesn't matter." Pollux still smiled and said to Helen: "If it is a promise, then there will be no problem."

"When he really comes down the mountain, we will find him and let him meet you, because we often mention you to him!"

Helen didn't know why her proud sister, the sister who inherited the power of gods, would trust a man like that so much.

And it sounds like he is a man who can even bully himself.

Helen didn't understand.

However, from that day on, the name Nuoyan was remembered in her heart.

Pollux probably noticed it, and from then on he would often mention his promise to Helen and tell her about the interesting things he encountered while studying, sharing them with his sister who could not go out and felt like she was imprisoned in the gorgeous cage of the palace.

So, unknowingly, Helen found that she actually had some expectations, and she gradually looked forward to meeting this person named Nuoyan.

But later, Pollux's sister and brother left again.
