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

As Nuoyan said this, a meteor fell from the starry sky.

Under the surprised gazes of the onlookers,

The falling silver meteor spread its silver wings beside Nuoyan, revealing its handsome and artistic body.

Pegasus returned to Nuoyan's side and looked at him innocently, indicating that he would not take the blame.

After all, during this period of time, the moon goddess Artemis has aimed arrows at it, so who would dare to fly down?

Atalanta did not answer immediately. She looked at Nuoyan quietly for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, took out a thin rope from her body, went close to Nuoyan, and tied up his messy hair again.

"You don't have to come." Atalanta said calmly, "I've already taken care of it."

Her father, Iasus, the king of this kingdom, had already compromised.

"No, I must come."

Standing there, letting her tie up her promise of hair, he answered her thus: "Because fate cannot be avoided, I must come to help you rewrite it."

Just as the hunting sacrifice of the moon goddess Artemis changed the future of the giant deer Actaeon and Meleager.

Atalanta had seen how promises could change fate, and she knew that she was the only one in the world who could shake the future that Clotho, the goddess of fate, had seen.

"How can you rewrite it and defeat me in the next game?" Atalanta glanced at him with her holy blue eyes.

"Yes, that's right." Nuoyan also spoke frankly and replied with a smile.

"...I don't think I will lose." Atalanta glanced at the Pegasus beside him and said, "Don't forget that we already had a competition once in Calydon, and the result was that you lost."

Hearing this, Tianma immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

It's obviously because Nuoyan is too weak, otherwise how could he not have been able to outrun you!

"Brother Ma is indeed not capable of this." Nuoyan nodded in agreement.

"Chi?!" Tianma looked at Nuoyan in disbelief.

What do you mean I can't do it? It's obviously you who can't do it, you guy who can't even beat a little girl!

"So this time, I'll be running with you."

When Nuoyan said this, Atalanta's hair was tied up, so she took two steps back and looked at Nuoyan with some doubt as he spoke to her seriously.

"This competition will be witnessed by the gods, and I will not borrow any power from the gods. I will win faster than you... Atalanta, this time I will make you admit defeat with conviction!"

When Nuoyan said this, Tianma stopped barking and just stared at him.

Even the gods who were looking at this place couldn't help but blink.

Are you serious?

Atalanta was very fast. Let’s put it this way. In fact, in this era, there was only one person who could really compete with her in speed, and that was Hercules.

then,

Snapped!

"Why did you hit me all of a sudden?!"

Nuoyan hugged his head and looked at Atalanta in front of him with wide eyes.

"You mean it, but... I'm sorry."

As she spoke, Atalanta looked up and down at Nuoyan in front of her. This ancient Greek god was recognized as the weakest guy in the eyes of both gods and heroes.

"Do you know that when you say this, it really makes people feel that you are looking down on the other person, and therefore you really deserve a beating?"

Upon hearing this, Nuoyan didn't react at first. It was not until he heard Pegasus beside him laughing that he realized Atalanta was trying to say that he was a weakling.

So Nuoyan got angry.

Even though it is the truth, you are not allowed to say it even if it is the truth!

An angry Nuoyan was about to protest to Atalanta, but when he looked at her, he was stunned.

And at this moment, not only Nuoyan was stunned, but all the onlookers around, the wounded who came here to watch the fun or who had challenged Atalanta, and her father, were all stunned at this moment.

Because Atalanta smiled.

Under the moonlight that had not yet faded, she looked as beautiful as a real goddess when she smiled at this moment.

"Surprised."

In the distance, Meleager, who was wrapped in bandages and staying with the giant deer Actaeon, looked at the smiling Atalanta and then at the dazed crowd.

With a slightly helpless tone, he said: "This is her true appearance. What you and I have seen is just the surface."

"Okay, I promise you."

Then, Atalanta replied to the promise.

"Come chase me, I will do my best... Even if I know you are planning to change my fate, I will never lose to you on purpose."

"Ah." Nuoyan also smiled and said to her seriously: "I will catch up with your Atalanta, because I promised you that I will definitely change your destiny!"

When the two said this, the competition would be held under the witness of God.

The late sun finally replaced the night.

Its daybreak,

The dawn light shone in an instant, and Nuoyan and Atalanta came to the three-foot wooden stake.

The crowd looked at this scene from afar, watching the Pegasus fold its wings and quietly accompany Nuoyan.

"I think I know who he is."

Someone suddenly spoke up and said this.

"What a coincidence, I thought of that... and if it's him, then everything makes sense. I guess the person she's really been waiting for has actually been him, right?"

Another person took over the conversation and sighed.

Some people gradually came back to their senses, while others were still confused, and suddenly among the crowd, an elegant bard in casual clothes, with yellow-orange hair and orange eyes appeared.

He smiled, played the melody, and sang the legend about him.

Atalanta's fame is so great today because she participated in the hunting sacrifices of the moon goddess Artemis, the falling meteors, the wild boars of Calydon, and the subjugation of the monster Chimera.

These legends made Atalanta famous.

And who is the real protagonist in these stories?

"A follower of Queen Hera, a student of the Centaur Sage Chiron, a hero chosen by the Goddess of Wisdom, a man who seeks the Trial of the Golden Fleece from the gods - promise!"

This is a very simple answer.

In fact, when Pegasus fell, many people thought so, but most people denied it because...

"Is he really the promise, the legendary hero?!"

There was a shocked person in the crowd who said what almost everyone present was thinking: "But, he looks... obviously very weak!"

Although his current embarrassment could not conceal the artistic aura of a poet and painter in Nuoyan, he did not have the feeling of a hero at all.

So even if Nuoyan rides a Pegasus everywhere, at first glance, probably no one would associate him with a hero.

It got harder. Nuoyan only felt that his fist had become harder.

He turned his head angrily and looked at the screaming crowd not far away.

What are you yelling about? Can't you speak a little more quietly? You are afraid that I can't hear you, right?!

"Then let's begin." Atalanta, who was standing by, naturally heard it as well, so she smiled and said to Nuoyan, "Your Excellency the Great Hero."

Nuoyan looked at Atalanta expressionlessly, then in front of her, he took out the small notebook he carried with him, took the paintbrush from the sky, and added a stroke on it.

Atalanta naturally knew what the little book was, so she looked at the petty-minded hero in silence and rolled her eyes at him.

"By the way, are you sure you don't want Pegasus' help?" Atalanta asked for the last time before the game officially began.

"And the rules of the game, are you clear about them?"

"Well, if I can touch the marked ancient tree ahead and come back faster than you, and put the leaf of the ancient tree on this stake, then I will win."

Atalanta nodded slightly.

Then, just as Atalanta took out the Sky Bow, put an arrow on it and prepared to start the competition.

"Atalanta, you know, I actually met a very interesting goddess not long ago."

Nuoyan suddenly spoke up, and Atalanta, who looked up at him in confusion, said, "That was a very gentle goddess named Thetis, a wise goddess among the sea goddesses. I helped her with a small favor, and she told me something."

"You actually know that I have four special threads of destiny in my body. They are connected with the noble Queen Hera, the wise Athena, the fair Themis and the goddess of fate Clotho respectively."

Atalanta nodded slightly when she heard this.

When Nuoyan said this, looking at the gods here, they couldn't help but turn their gazes to the goddesses mentioned by Nuoyan.

"The gentle sea sage told me the meaning of these four threads of fate. The noble Queen Hera represents the favor of the gods, Themis represents kindness and justice, Clotho represents the attachment of fate, and as for the goddess of wisdom...

It means that you will walk on the bumpy road of a hero throughout your life, and you will have the wisdom to overcome any difficulties. "

When Nuoyan said this, the gods couldn't help but think deeply.

Atalanta blinked. Although it was the first time she heard these words, when she recalled what Nuoyan had done and everything she had witnessed so far, she found that it perfectly corresponded to Nuoyan's current life.

but......

"Why are you saying this now?"

Atalanta looked at Nuoyan in confusion, and tilted her head to glance at her Nuoyan, who just smiled faintly.

"This game will be witnessed by the gods!" said Nuoyan.

As he finished speaking, Nuoyan took out a golden apple and took a bite of it!

"...This match will be witnessed by the gods!" Seeing this, Atalanta said the same thing and put the arrow in her hand on the bowstring.

Then he pointed it towards the sky and shot the arrow to pray to God.

The moment the arrow shot out with a whoosh and disappeared into the sky.

Atalanta rushed out as fast as she could.

After all, she said she would try her best in this game!

When the game started, all the onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath.

When she realized that the final challenger, the person Atalanta was really waiting for, was actually the legendary Queen Hera's child, Nuoyan, the great hero.

Everyone believed that an unprecedented competition would break out next.

Moreover, this game will definitely be recorded in the long river of history and become a classic legend that will be passed down forever.

Even the gods think so.

After all, Nuoyan has taken a bite of the golden apple. They know very well that every time Nuoyan wants to do something big, such as rewriting fate or painting gods, he has to take a bite of the golden apple.

This is almost a sign that the promise is serious.

Then......

Then everyone, including the gods, saw a scene that shocked them.

When Atalanta ran out and quickly disappeared from sight due to her fast speed, Nuoyan was not at all panicked and did not chase after her.

Instead, he turned around and did one thing.

He came to the three-foot wooden stake, his face flushed, and tried hard to pull it out of the soil...

"Why is it so tight? No, I can't get it out...Brother Ma, why are you still standing there? Come over here and lend a hand, help me!"

The stunned Pegasus, after coming to his senses, looked at Nuoyan who was urging him, and then looked at Atalanta who had already run away.

So, I reacted completely

You are worthy of it, my little master!

Since you met Atalanta, the series of words you said to her, all the promises, and the act of chewing the golden apple were actually all to stimulate Atalanta and make her run at full speed from the beginning, right!

Because I am too familiar with promises.

The one who is closest to Nuoyan is Atalanta, and the one who is most familiar with him is Atalanta?

No, it’s our horse brother who loves to eat grass!

So when he realized what was happening, Brother Ma immediately helped and was even very happy.
