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

In the legend of ancient Greek mythology, there is such a hero.

His name was Bellerophon.

Bellerophon was a prince in ancient Greece. He was the grandson of Sisyphus, who pushed the boulder to the top of the mountain. Because he accidentally killed his brother while hunting, he was exiled by his father and came to Proetos.

The king of Proetus admired him very much and pardoned his crime, but who would have thought that when they met for the first time, King Proetus's wife fell in love with Bellerophon.

As time went by, the originally virtuous queen felt as if her heart was shot by Cupid's arrow. She loved Bellerophon more and more deeply and missed him every day and night.

One day, at a banquet hosted by the king, the queen met Bellerophon again. She was so excited that she immediately took the opportunity to make a tryst with Bellerophon and expressed her love to him passionately.

But because of the help of King Proetus, Bellerophon rejected the queen's love on the spot, which angered her.

Then the queen came to the king of Proetus and cried that she had been bullied, and the one who bullied her was Bellerophon.

Although the king of Proetus admired Bellerophon, he naturally trusted his wife more, so he ordered Bellerophon to kill the monster Chimera that was causing trouble in the area.

Chimera, also known as Chimera, is the child of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons. It has a lion's head, a goat's body, and a python's tail. It can spit out fire from its mouth, and wherever it goes will become desolate.

It is obvious that the king of Proetus wanted to kill Bellerophon with the help of Chimera.

Just when Bellerophon was in despair, a lame old river god suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was none other than Asopus, the old river god, the father of the river goddess Aegina.

Although he had given the everlasting spring water as a reward, the old river god always remembered the help Sisyphus had given him. It was Sisyphus who told him that his daughter was taken away by Zeus disguised as a goshawk.

So when he saw Sisyphus' grandson was in trouble, he came out and told Bellerophon.

In the river territory under his jurisdiction, there is a powerful monster that can help Bellerophon defeat Chimera.

It is a silver-white Pegasus with wings. It stretches its silver-white wings and soars in the vast starry sky. Its body is handsome and elegant.

Its name is - Pegasus!

Chapter 4.5 Artemis: Little Promise, I want it too! (k)

As it spread its silver-white wings, it fell from the vast starry sky.

Nuoyan, who witnessed this scene, finally understood what the oracle given to him by the goddess of wisdom Athena and the beautiful meteor mentioned by the goddess of fate Clotho were.

That is the Pegasus that gallops across the sky. Its name is Pegasus.

Yes, it was the Pegasus that was born from the blood of the Gorgon.

It fell from the stars in the night sky, flapping its wings, and arrived above them in the sight of everyone.

Pegasus's gaze swept across everyone, finally stopping at the golden-horned deer that raised its head and looked at him.

In fact, it stopped above the crowd because it heard the call of the golden-horned deer.

The Pegasus flapped its silver wings and gave a loud and gentle cry to the golden-horned deer, and the golden-horned deer responded to it, but then shook its head and looked at Nuoyan beside it.

And squatted down beside Nuoyan again.

Upon seeing this, Pegasus called out twice softly. Seeing that the golden-horned deer was no longer paying attention to him, he glanced at Nuoyan and the others, and paused slightly on the body of the river god Asopus.

Finally, it turned around and flew to a clear spring nearby. It lightly touched the spring water with its hooves, and let the gushing spring water wash its silvery-white body in the moonlight at night.

"......So beautiful." Atalanta, whose holy blue eyes reflected the scene before her, couldn't help but express her truest thoughts at the moment.

Nuoyan also nodded slightly to show his agreement.

It is indeed beautiful.

Pegasus, in ancient Greek mythology, was regarded by bards as the goddess of art and the guardian of the Muses.

Because Pegasus never allowed anyone to touch his body, except the nine ancient goddesses of art, who often used the clear spring that symbolized good luck, hope and beauty to help Pegasus cleanse his holy body.

As Nuoyan nodded, he felt his foot being gently pulled. Confusedly, he looked down and found that the golden-horned deer was looking up at him.

After a slight pause, he quickly said, "Of course, you are also very beautiful."

As he said this, he touched its head.

The golden-horned deer squinted its eyes happily and looked at Atalanta.

Seeing this, Atalanta naturally hurried to praise it.

Only then did the golden-horned deer lower its head again and lie down comfortably.

Just when Nuoyan felt a little amused by the reaction of the golden-horned deer, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the person who stood up beside him at some point.

The old river god Asopus was leaning on a crutch, trembling all over and staring at Tianma.

After all, he had dreamed of riding this Pegasus and flying among the stars.

But then a bolt of lightning struck and shattered everything.

"So the oracle given to you by the great goddess is to tame it?" Atalanta recalled the scene of it falling from the stars.

It turned into a silver-white meteor and came to the world from the stars in the night sky.

If such a force hit the Calydonian boar, it would be possible to hunt it, but...

"You..." Atalanta hesitated, looking at the boy beside her who was really too weak, and was hesitant to speak.

She naturally had the same idea as the river god Asopus.

That is how this weak boy could possibly tame a meteor!

Nuoyan didn't pay attention to Atalanta's gaze. His emerald green eyes looked at Pegasus who was washing his body in front of him, with a somewhat puzzled look.

Because ever since he saw it, Nuoyan felt as if an inexplicable impulse was surging in his body, but he couldn't tell what that feeling was for a moment, so he gradually frowned and showed annoyance on his face.

Seeing this, Atalanta thought that Nuoyan was considering taming Pegasus.

Seeing his frown, she couldn't help but soften her heart and persuaded him: "Don't worry, Nuoyan is fine. Even if we can't fulfill this oracle, as long as we pray to the great Artemis, she will definitely forgive us."

Nuoyan came back to his senses after hearing this and looked at Atalanta beside him. Just when he was about to say something, Pegasus, which had finished cleaning and folded its wings, came over again.

It just shook its body gently to shake off all the spring water in its body.

Pegasus walked over and called out to the golden-horned deer again. At his voice, the golden-horned deer finally stood up, but did not go towards him, but looked at Nuoyan.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere and there will be no danger." Nuoyan said when he saw this.

The golden-horned deer was obviously sent by Artemis to lead the way for Nuoyan and also to protect him who was weak.

So after hearing Nuoyan's words, the golden-horned deer relaxed, walked towards the Pegasus, and then played with the Pegasus.

The golden-horned deer is the favorite of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and it is also the symbol of the goddess of the moon. If it were not for the fact that it was extremely beautiful, how could Actaeon have been so crazy at that time, chasing it and even running to the holy land of the goddess Artemis without feeling anything?

Therefore, when it was playing with the silver-white Pegasus and watching them bathing in the moonlight at night, Nuoyan suddenly understood what was going on with the inexplicable impulse in his heart.

Then he turned around, took out the paintbrush and canvas from his luggage under Atalanta's puzzled gaze, ran quickly to the spring beside him, dipped the paintbrush in the spring water, and looked at Pegasus and the golden-horned deer in front of him.

His eyes became extremely serious at this moment.

Seeing this, Atalanta, who was originally chasing him and wanted to ask what was going on, stopped and looked at Nuoyan in front of her, stunned where she was.

And recalled a scene.

After all, it hadn’t been that long.

That was the scene of the hunting sacrifice that night...Although Atalanta never said anything, it actually left an unforgettable memory in her mind.

That night, Atalanta seemed to see Apollo, the most handsome god of light among all the gods, in Nuoyan's body.

He came to the world, closed his eyes and played the harp in his hand, so that all living things would stop by him and listen to his performance.

This is also the reason why when Nuoyan wanted to paint a picture for Atalanta, Atalanta refused and instead offered her the music of the piano as payment.

But now, Atalanta suddenly found herself as if she saw the feeling of that night again in Nuoyan...only this time, he no longer held a harp in his hands, but a paintbrush and a canvas.

At the same time, what Atalanta didn't know was that the sound of the piano was like being embraced and kissed by the goddess of art.

His paintings...

"what happened?"

The old river god Asopus came over limping with a cane.

Looking at Nuoyan who was sitting motionlessly by the spring, watching the Pegasus and the golden-horned deer, he asked Atalanta in confusion.

"...He probably wants to draw this scene."

After a moment of silence, Atalanta replied.

Upon hearing this, the old river god Asopus was stunned for a moment, then he took out his daughter's canvas from his body. Looking at the lifelike portrait on it, the old river god Asopus could not help but look at Nuoyan in surprise.

"So he painted this, I thought it was a goddess of art..."

Atalanta heard this but said nothing.

And just when Nuoyan focused all his attention on them, the Pegasus and the golden-horned deer seemed to have sensed something and turned their heads to look at Nuoyan.

When Pegasus saw what was in Nuoyan's hand, he even spread his wings, looked up and presented his most perfect scene to Nuoyan.

At this time, the moonlight shines on everything here.

Nuoyan finally put down the paintbrush in his hand.

Then, with Atalanta's eyes wide open and somewhat incredulous, Artemis, dressed in a bright dress, walked out from the moonlight behind Nuoyan.

She stood behind Nuoyan, bent down slightly, and watched Nuoyan write with interest.

And after noticing the surprised looks of Atalanta and the old river god Asopus, he put his index finger on his lips and smiled and asked them not to make any noise.

Seeing her beloved goddess again, and in such a simple way, Atalanta felt it was extremely absurd, because in fact, even in the ancient Greek age where gods were everywhere, gods could not be seen whenever one wanted.

There are many people who spend their entire lives searching for God, only to never see him.

What’s more, they are the twelve most noble gods in Olympus!

But in the short time since she met Nuoyan, Atalanta found that she had seen and heard more gods than in her entire life...

However, Atalanta was naturally very happy to have the honor of seeing the goddess Artemis again, but when she thought that she appeared because of a promise...

So after a while, Atalanta came to Nuoyan's side.

The Holy Blue Eyes looked at Nuoyan with some dissatisfaction. She wanted to see what kind of ability Nuoyan had to make the Goddess Artemis appear again because of him!

Of course, Nuoyan was unaware of all this.

After nearly four months, Nuoyan finally found the original feeling again.

It's the feeling of depicting Athena on canvas.

So at this moment, nothing around him could affect Nuoyan in the slightest. Even though the goddess Artemis was standing behind him, Nuoyan didn't notice it at all.

He looked at the Pegasus in front of him, and at this moment, Nuoyan only had eyes for it.

Then Nuoyan put down his paintbrush and painted the starry sky under the night sky.

He painted slowly, yet it seemed like he was moving very quickly.

And with just one glance, not only did the thoughts in Atalanta's mind disappear instantly, but after she came back to her senses after being stunned for a moment, she blinked and suddenly found that she seemed to have entered the painting and came to the stars in the night sky.

Just as Atalanta was standing there in a daze, looking at a loss and bewilderment, not knowing what had happened, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind her, which made Atalanta subconsciously look back.

Then she saw a dazzling silver meteor flying through the starry sky, and before she could react, it passed through her body.

But the meteor did not hurt her.

When the dazzling silver light faded, what Atalanta saw was the silver-white Pegasus.

It stretched its eyes, ran among the stars in the night sky, and at this moment stopped on the full moon that appeared at the same time. The moonlight bathed its body, making its silver-white body shine with beautiful luster, beautiful and elegant.

Just as Atalanta stared at everything in front of her, and found that the night sky was becoming more and more perfect, and watched Pegasus galloping in the sky.

Suddenly the scene in front of her eyes changed, and in the blink of an eye, the starry sky at night disappeared in front of Atalanta.

Atalanta came to a small island.

There was nothing on the island. There were no lush forests or animals. There were only various human statues.

Just as Atalanta was watching all this in confusion, she moved her ears slightly and suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object rubbing against the ground and moving its body little by little.

Subconsciously, Atalanta looked in the direction of the voice.

Then, she saw something coming towards her little by little in the shadow of the night. It was a pair of scarlet blood eyes. Atalanta heard the painful wails of the dead in her body and felt the terrifying magic that seemed to suffocate her.

Just as she opened her eyes wide, staring at the monster that was about to appear in front of her, even her breathing stopped at this moment...

"Xiao Ata, I can't watch this anymore!"
