Chapter 422: Su Xing Appears
Chapter 422: Su Xing Appears
Athena couldn't help but reveal surprise and admiration in her eyes.
The child was just born and Ilonus noticed him?
Even though the child was not called Hercules at that time, Ilonus could recognize him?
No wonder, for no reason, he had to take care of a child.
Athena kept guessing, and at the same time she was very sure that her guess was correct.
This guy is definitely the son of prophecy mentioned by Ilonos!
Apart from the name Hercules, which demigod would be so lucky to drink Hera's milk shortly after birth?
After drinking the milk, he naturally became extremely powerful, and only by being strong can one become a hero.
Athena felt the power of fate.
This alone is enough to set him apart from other demigods and make him far surpass them.
Ahem, of course...
This does not include Ilonus at the beginning.
Athena looked odd.
In His opinion, even if Hercules drank Hera's milk, he was still far inferior to Ilonus. There was an unimaginable gap between the two, which could not be made up by milk.
Thinking about this, Athena sighed and said regretfully, "If Ilonus was still a demigod, then there would be..."
He thought that if Ilonos was a demigod, he might be able to kill those giants at will.
Unfortunately, Ilonus is now the main god, and he probably can’t do anything to the giants.
After all, the immortality of those giants is obviously aimed at them, the gods.
After thinking about this, Athena turned her gaze back to where Hercules was.
Under His gaze, Alcides accepted the name Hercules and, as the oracle had commanded, went to the palace of Thebes.
The royal palace is still in Thebes, not too far from here.
Soon, Hercules came to the palace and asked for an audience with Eurystheus, begging him to forgive and pardon his sins.
In the palace.
On the throne, Eurystheus sat.
Eurystheus felt very happy when he saw Hercules, the brave and mighty Hercules, who was loved by Zeus, kneeling on the ground like a slave.
At the same time, he was not surprised that Hercules came to ask him for something.
The great Queen Hera had already told him about this matter, and even arranged the task for Hercules.
Each task is extremely difficult and cannot be achieved or completed by ordinary people!
Eurystheus said to Hercules with a proud and compassionate look in his eyes, "As long as you complete the ten labors I give you, I will forgive and absolve your sins!"
In his eyes, Hercules was already a dead man.
He didn't think that Hercules could complete the ten labors and trials he had mentioned.
However, just as he was thinking this, he saw Hercules below, with a look of surprise on his face, muttering, "Is it really the same as what Lord Ilonus predicted?"
what?
prophecy?
"What is this guy talking about?" Eurystheus looked puzzled.
He asked directly, "Alcides, what do you mean by prophecy?!"
"My name is Hercules now." Hercules said directly in a cold voice.
Then, thinking about his current situation, he simply described the process without going into too much detail.
However, even so, Eurystheus was still shocked when he heard it.
It’s incredible!
Is this the power of the Lord God?
In response to this, he was shocked and did not dare to do anything else.
After all, he couldn't just change the mission given to Hercules because of the prophecy, right?
Not to mention that the mission was given by Hera, the prophecy could not be changed just because he wanted to.
Even though he was a mortal, he knew that the so-called prophecy was something that was difficult to change.
At the same time, he did not dare to offend the main god Ilonus. He knew very well what the consequences would be if he offended a main god.
Therefore, he could only listen to the so-called prophecy from Hercules as something shocking to him, and did not dare to make any changes at all.
Moreover, he did not believe that Hercules could complete these ten labors!
After thinking about it, Eurystheus said the first task in a cold voice.
The earth was covered with dense jungles and swamps, and everywhere were ferocious lions and evil beasts.
At the foot of Mount Kitalon, there was a terrible lion that was doing evil, so he asked Hercules to eliminate the evil lion.
After hearing this, Hercules didn't think much about it and agreed to it immediately.
Looking at his back, Eurystheus sneered secretly.
The lion he asked Hercules to kill was naturally not an ordinary lion. It was rumored that this lion was the descendant of a giant, possessed terrible power and was extremely ferocious.
Even mortal weapons cannot hurt it at all!
Hercules is dead!
He was going to stay in the palace, quietly waiting for good news from Hercules. Time passed slowly.
Soon, Hercules arrived at the foot of Mount Kitaelon and found the lion.
He tried to kill the giant lion with arrows and sword, but found that the lion's fur was invulnerable to swords and guns.
secretly.
Looking at Hercules fighting with the lion, Athena and Su Xing were speechless.
fight?
"Roar!"
The man and the beast fought until night, but there was no clear winner.
Finally, they saw that Hercules finally got smart and jumped on the lion's back and strangled the lion with his bare hands.
When dealing with the lion's body, Hercules found that the blade was ineffective, so he used the lion's claws to cut open the lion's skin, preparing to use the materials from the lion's body to make helmets and other weapons.
Under their secret gaze, time keeps passing.
Soon, Hercules began his second mission.
In the miasma-filled swamp, there lives a nine-headed poisonous snake. If you cut off one of its heads, a new one will grow back.
This nine-headed snake is the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, and is a half-brother and sister of Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, and the Golden Fleece Dragon.
Eurystheus ordered Hercules to kill the Hydra.
secretly.
Looking at the ferocious Hydra, Su Xing's eyes narrowed, "Hydra?"
Rumor has it that the venom of this poisonous snake is extremely poisonous. Any mortal who comes into contact with it will die, and even a god will suffer excruciating pain if he comes into contact with it.
Under his gaze, the bearded and extremely strong Hercules was fighting fiercely with the Hydra.
However, this time, he was not the only one there, there was also a handsome young man next to him.
This young man was his nephew Iolaus, the son of his half brother.
However, looking at this handsome young man, Su Xing had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help but sigh at the openness of Greek thinking.
Iolaus is not only Hercules' companion but also his lover. He occupies a very important position in Hercules' heart.
Hercules, on the other hand, was not picky about food or meat, and was eccentric with both men and women. He had both female and male lovers, and even the banshees were not spared.
Su Xing was used to this.
Soon, Hercules came up with a way to deal with the Hydra.
After Hercules cut off the head of the Hydra, his nephew Iolaus would help by burning the wound with fire to prevent the Hydra from regenerating.
But at this time, Su Xing's attention was not on Hercules.
Seeing that the Hydra was about to be defeated, a huge crab crawled out of the swamp not far away. It rushed over and clamped Hercules' foot tightly, trying to divert his attention and make him fail.
Hercules turned around and killed the crab with one punch.
However, even when it was dying, the crab did not put down its claws and still held Hercules' feet tightly.
Although, he was quickly kicked away by Hercules.
However, it did hinder him a bit.
The crab was thrown aside and lay there quietly, without a trace of life in its body.
Seeing the enemy losing his life, Cancer, who knew he could not win but still stepped forward to stop it, possessed qualities such as loyalty and sacrifice, and was like a strong warrior. He woke up with inquiring eyes.
If he were an ordinary Cancer, he would naturally not pay so much attention.
This one is different. You could say it is the Cancer of the future.
This crab was sent by Hera to hinder Hercules, and is one of the few that can become a deified being if it fails.
Although Hera hated Hercules, she was very kind to her servants who were loyal to her.
In order to recognize the crab's loyalty, even though it failed, Hera lifted it into the sky and turned it into Cancer, one of the twelve constellations.
Su Xing stroked his chin and looked at the dead crab curiously. He couldn't help but think, "This crab does embody qualities such as loyalty and sacrifice..."
"Should I try and turn it into a constellation?"
He had always been curious about how Zeus and his people turned things into constellations, and this was a good opportunity to give it a try.
Moreover, as Cancer is one of the twelve zodiac signs, maybe it will bring some benefits after being created by Him?
While He was thinking, Hercules, with the help of Iolaus, soon succeeded in killing the Hydra.
Just when the two of them finished dealing with the Hydra's corpse and were about to leave the place.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed, like the dawn in the darkness, illuminating the corners of their eyes.
"This is?"
Hercules and the other man were shocked and turned to look over.
