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

Then a huge dog head of Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, appeared from inside and threw Hermes out from its mouth.

"Hades you've gone too far!"

When Hermes was about to shout angrily at this

The moonlight transformed into a rain of arrows, falling as densely as raindrops.

Hermes was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain and could only run around with his head in his hands.

If it doesn’t work underground, then try it in the sky!

So later, when the day broke, Hermes ran back to his temple on Mount Olympus in a panic.

Under the extremely strange gazes of his attendants and nymphs, Hermes, who was covered in dust, had no time to catch his breath, rest for a while, and drink the sweet divine wine.

Boom!

Thunder flashed in the sky,

It fell accurately from the sky above the temple, striking Hermes so hard that his hair stood on end.

When I looked up,

Then he saw Queen Hera smiling at him in the sky above the land of the gods.

"No, can't I just take a break?!" Hermes shouted sadly.

Hera didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand again, letting the thunder gather in the sky.

What else could Hermes do?

Run!

Thunder rumbled and the gods of Olympus came out one by one to watch the fun.

I originally thought it was Zeus, but then I realized it was Hera.

At a glance,

What’s going on? Why is that Hermes guy getting struck?

"Hera, you are so lucky."

When Hermes ran away and Hera, who had completed her mission, returned to the human world from the Holy Mountain, Demeter came over and said to Hera sourly.

Hearing this, Hera subconsciously glanced at Nuoyan in the distance.

This hunt, in addition to being for the teacher and friends, was naturally also for Hera, to vent the anger for his goddess, Hera, whose golden apple had been stolen!

Then later, the news gradually came out.

And just as Hestia expected from the beginning,

It really got out of hand!

After all, this is the hunt for Hermes, the hunt for a main god, and it is the hunt for him by Hera, Artemis, Apollo and other queens of heaven.

Not only did the underworld run away, but Mount Olympus also ran away.

The gods of the underworld and Olympus saw it.

How can it not be lively!

So Hermes ran in front and the gods chased behind, and the number of people chasing became increasingly larger, and the situation gradually evolved into this.

"Queen of Heaven, Queen of Heaven, honorable Queen of Heaven, he is here, I see him!"

"Great Lord Apollo, I see Hermes transformed into a rabbit over there!"

"Beautiful goddess Artemis, he's hiding in the river over there. I'll help you get him out!"

And so, the three days were up.

Hermes was tired.

Most of his clothes were torn, and he had been struck by lightning and soaked in sea water. Now he looked no different from a savage.

But the gods, on the other hand, became more and more excited as they chased.

With the help of Chiron, Hercules witnessed the whole process.

From his initial shock to his current numbness, the only question left in his mind was one.

It’s not clear why Nuoyan knows so many gods, and why all the gods are willing to help him, even agreeing to such outrageous requests as hunting Hermes.

I just want to ask,

"Dear teacher Chiron, may I ask...have I done anything to make Nuoyan angry?" Hercules asked Chiron seriously.

"Nuoyan has a small notebook, which is filled with hatred for you for not bringing him down the mountain, and for teasing him in the past..."

Chiron looked at Hercules with pity, whose face changed drastically after hearing this.

Patting his shoulder, he said, "And he has muttered more than once before that he would find them one by one and take revenge after he gets down the mountain, so...

Come on, Hercules!"

......

Three days later in the afternoon,

"Hahaha, I found you, Hermes!" The sea raised huge waves, rolled up Hermes who was hiding in the sea, out of the water and threw him onto the shore.

"Poseidon, I'll remember you!"

He tried in the sky, underground, and in the sea, but Hermes hid.

At this moment, my defense is really broken.

"You'd better not remember him." On the shore, Apollo and Artemis, who had been waiting for a long time, drew their bows at the same time and aimed at him.

"Just remember us!" After saying that, the rain of arrows fell again, but this time the experienced Hermes ran incredibly fast.

Not even the giant web of vines woven by Demeter could catch him.

However, Hermes, who had run far away this time, did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at Nuoyan who was sitting on the Pegasus, and laughed, "Hahaha, Nuoyan, you have no tricks, right? Today is the third day. As long as you can hold on until the sun sets, I win!"

After saying this, Hermes ran away again.

Upon hearing this, Apollo, Hestia and other gods couldn't help but frown, but soon relaxed their brows.

Because from what he just said, they could tell that Hermes really wanted to win the game... or to be more precise, he wanted to keep his promise.

But he is not stupid, so he will be caught by Nuoyan in the end.

Because they had suffered so much, if they had not been caught, how could the story of the golden apple and Hercules be over?

What he said just now was actually a reminder to Nuoyan that if he was not caught before dark, even if he would come back and let Nuoyan catch him in the end, Nuoyan would still have lost.

It was obvious that after these three embarrassing days, Hermes's desire to win was really aroused.

"I have to admit, this guy... really runs fast." Even the God of Light Apollo couldn't help but say so.

The gods nodded.

And everyone felt that the matter should end like this.

Nuoyan calmly took out the last painting.

Under Hera's wide-eyed and stiff gaze.

Hephaestus, sitting in a wheelchair, and his attendants walked out of the painting.

"Goddess teacher, can I borrow something from you?"

Nuoyan came over and said to Hephaestus: "I want to borrow the chains that bound me."

Hearing this, Hephaestus took out the chain without hesitation.

Hera, who was traumatized, was so frightened that she almost fled from here.

Not only that, even though there was no painting of her, Nuoyan just called her silently a few times in his heart.

Just like that, Clotho, the goddess of fate, came before Nuoyan.

And looking at the goddess of fate, and looking at the chains that bound the gods in Nuoyan's hands.

Now everyone present, including the gods, understood what was to come for Hermes next.

There is no doubt that the promise has the ability to end the game from the beginning.

But three days, just three days...

Hestia, who witnessed everything, blinked and suddenly said to Hera: "Hera, I suddenly feel that this child and I seem to...get along very well!"

Hera ignored Hestia's words.

If it were any other day, she would probably look at Hestia in unusual silence.

But because of the appearance of Hephaestus, Hera had no time to care about Hestia's feelings at all, and how to put it... Hey, family members, I'm really used to it!

And Hephaestus naturally sensed the presence of his mother, the Queen of Heaven Hera, but now he was too lazy to pay attention to her.

There was only promise in Hephaestus' eyes now.

So, when Clotho, the goddess of fate, told Promise the future without hesitation.

Nuoyan had ambushed Hermes in advance, and at the moment when Hermes appeared, chains emerged from the ground, bound Hermes and made him lose his divine power.

The game ends here.

Nuoyan got off the Pegasus and looked at Hermes, who was tied up with chains and unable to move. Nuoyan smiled very brightly and said, "Hermes, you lose.

And... Happy gaming, Hermes!"

Chapter 4.5: The Messenger of the Gods, Painting of Hermes (k)

Happy gaming, Hermes, messenger of the gods!

At the same time as the game ended, the painting of Hermes in Nuoyan's hand was completed.

The painting shows the sky, ocean and underground of the ancient Greek gods, corresponding to the areas ruled by the king of gods Zeus, the god of the underworld Hades and the god of the sea Poseidon.

Hermes lived up to his status, wearing winged boots and moving freely between the three different realms of gods.

But wherever he went, the sky was filled with dark clouds and flashing thunder, the three-headed dog of hell in the underworld kept barking, and the sea was turbulent and rolling.

In the painting, Hermes is running away, holding the feather hat on his head with his hand, while behind him is a god and a beautiful Pegasus chasing him.

His clothes were even a little torn, and he looked very disheveled.

But even so, Hermes in the painting was not angry, but smiling.

because......

"Well, happy gaming, promise!"

Under the hints given by Clotho, the goddess of fate, who peeks into the future, and the chains that can bind the gods given by Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

As the sun set and the third day ended, Hermes, who was caught and hung on a big tree, looked at the main gods gathering below and Nuoyan sitting on the Pegasus.

His face did not show the annoyance of being caught, nor the anger of being in such a mess. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, smiled heartily and said to Nuoyan: "This is really a fun game. I had a lot of fun playing it, so I give you the painting!"

"Is that so... Then let's play again next time when we have time." Nuoyan nodded slightly and replied with a smile.

"Don't, don't do that!" Hermes' face changed when he heard that, and he said quickly: "This kind of game is enough to play once in a lifetime!"

"Hey, but Lord Hermes, didn't you say you were having a lot of fun?"

Nuoyan blinked and said, "Shouldn't we play a fun game more times?"

After that, Hermes had no time to answer.

"What Nuoyan said is right." Pulling the golden hair beside his ear, Apollo said to Hermes with a smile: "Since you like playing so much, you should play more times.

And no matter how many times you want to play, I can play with you, Hermes."

"Yeah, I like it too." Artemis, the moon goddess, raised the bow in her hand and answered with a smile. She also made an archery gesture to prepare Hermes and said, "And next time, Hermes, I will definitely shoot you!"

"...Ahem." Hermes coughed twice, then raised his head and said loudly and decisively: "Respected and beautiful Queen Hera, I was wrong!

I offer my sincerest apologies to you, my honorable one, for the incident with the golden apples and for instigating Hercules to chop down the tree!"

"And Hercules, and Chiron the Centaur Sage, I'm really sorry for rolling you up!"

Facing Hermes, who didn't care about the face of his main god at all, he apologized decisively in front of countless creatures and gods.
