The world-devouring dragon

"Father, please let me kill this mortal who has dishonored the gods."

Hunting Queen Artemis looked eager and shouted to the sky.

She was one of the favored children of the Father of Man and God. Among the gods, perhaps only Athena's favor could be greater than hers.

Normally, whatever Artemis wants, she can get it by acting coquettishly. But even for his most beloved child, the god still did not allow it.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder was rolling, and another divine thunder was falling.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, there was a sudden thunder and the sky and the earth turned white.

This is a declaration that the God-King has expressed his preference.

Artemis looked pale. She didn't understand why Father God favored that humble and bold mortal more than herself.

In comparison, Apollo is more calm and rational.

He sighed, grabbed the angry goddess of the hunt, and then spoke seriously to Hercules.

"Mortal, in the name of the God of Prophecy, I want to tell you bluntly that it is really sad that today's grudges have not been resolved, because you will die from this in the future."

His voice was clear and sweet, and his words were cold, but there was no threat in them.

Hercules snorted.

"Master, if you want to threaten me, you can have a fair fight without using harsh words."

Heracles sneered at this, thinking it was Apollo speaking harshly, but not everyone thought so.

When he was unaware, the snake on his shoulder became inexplicably serious. And above the sky, the god was stroking his beard and thinking seriously.

Apollo had no interest in arguing with a mortal.

Mortals have shallow knowledge and can only see things within a hundred meters, but cannot see landslides thousands of miles away; they can only see the happiness of the present, but cannot see the blessings and misfortunes of the past and the future.

He is the god of prophecy, just like Mona, the snake goddess, who is born to know destiny, and what he says is true. Just now, he had realized that the grievances at this moment were extremely far-reaching, but he did not intend to say more.

"Pathetic mortal. My sister, let's go, there is no need to be angry with this mortal."

Without much excuse, the two great gods turned into rainbow lights and disappeared on the ground, dragging the aggrieved hunting goddess with them.

Hercules watched vigilantly at the location where the two great gods disappeared, and was on guard for a long time. It wasn't until he confirmed that the two gods had really left that he breathed a sigh of relief.

He has defeated many monsters and behemoths, but this is the first time he has faced a god.

"It's really not easy to compete with gods."

Touching his sore arm, the great hero grinned. The battle with the hunting queen was not that easy. The great hero always thought that he was extremely powerful, but his arms were still numb from the shock.

After resting and cleaning for a while, they built a fire and offered the golden deer as a sacrifice. The great hero thanked the god Zeus for his help.

"My father in heaven, please spare poor Oedipus from his cruel fate."

The great hero did not forget his purpose. He prayed to Zeus in the sky, hoping that Zeus could make King Oedipus at least not so miserable.

The God-King in heaven heard the great hero's prayer, so he had a thought and decided to change the fate of the poor king.

With one hand stretched out, the invisible fate was reversed under the will of this great god.

Although the world is big and the universe is vast, can there be anyone more noble and great than this god-king himself, who can even step on fate under his feet?

The God King was filled with pride.

"Hahaha, little insect, if you really can, you might as well change your own destiny."

A deep and majestic voice reached Zeus's ears.

Under the sky, under the earth, under Hades, the huge and majestic thing that lives under everything turns its body, and the heaven and earth also shake.

The God King's expression changed at this, and he subconsciously clenched the thunder and lightning in his hand, almost preparing to fight.

But the world-eating god didn't make any more moves, it just turned around at its leisure.

It was sneering at the arrogance of the god-king.

If you really can, why not reverse your destiny too?

The God King looked down at the earth, and the restlessness of the big snake was reflected in its eyes. As time goes by, this big snake is waiting, waiting for its own opportunity.

Zeus looked gloomy and said softly.

"You can't be arrogant for much longer."

…

The great hero doesn't know this.

After offering sacrifices to the gods, he embarked on his journey home. He has spent a year chasing this golden deer.

On the way home, he came to a place called Libya and prepared to rest.

Then he heard about a local demigod-like figure. The man named Antaeus was said to be a descendant of the earth goddess Gaia. As long as he stood on the earth, he could have the same power as the earth.

His skin is invulnerable, his strength is endless, but his personality is surly and cruel.

Many times, he wanders in the wilderness, and if he meets a passerby, he will forcefully wrestle with him. Once a passerby is thrown to the ground by him, he will tear him in half with laughter.

People say that he is a demigod protected by Gaia, the goddess of the earth. He is a person who cannot be defeated by mortals.

The great hero heard about this man and was very curious, so he wanted to meet this demigod.

But when he came to the wilderness, before Hercules went to find Antaeus, the demigod named Antaeus had already found him.

"Hercules, I know you."

In the wilderness, a smile appeared on the corner of the strong man's mouth. It was a cruel and terrifying smile.

Then he pulled out a head from the ground. It was a shriveled head, proving that the owner of the head had been dead for a long time. The face of the head was ferocious, as if he was unwilling to die like this.

Patting the head, Antaeus laughed.

"Some people told me that you are very powerful. They also said that I would be defeated or even killed by you. I didn't believe it. I even tore his spine and let his head stand here to watch how I killed you. .”

If the group of reincarnations were there, they would recognize this as one of their companions, Greedy Wolf.

The warrior who traversed the infinite world as a warrior and left behind many legends and stories eventually died here without even the right to know him.

With that said, the demigod named Antaeus rushed towards the great hero.

The great hero did not dare to be careless. During the tentative exchange, he felt a powerful force. That power was like a mountain, with its majestic peak reaching into the clouds, but at this moment it was falling down on him.

As his energy and blood surged, the hero held on to the force.

"My mother is the earth goddess Gaia, and my father is the earth-shaking god Poseidon! Mortal, how dare you disobey the descendants of a god!"

Antaeus roared, his pupils glowing with golden light.

When Poseidon, the god of the sea, caused earthquakes and the earth cracked, Antaeus was born.

He inherited the power of the earth-shaking god Poseidon and the earth goddess Gaia. His power is the power of the earth under his feet. Unless he has the power to hold up the sky and support the earth, who can win him in wrestling?

Before he died, the foreigner also tried to use his skill to lift him off the ground, but he underestimated how powerful a demigod whose parents were both gods was.

He is the son of the earth!

So, he mercilessly pulled out the stranger's spine, leaving him limp on the ground like a worm, and died here.

And now, he would also pull out the Greek's spine and use his skull to sacrifice his father Poseidon like he did before.

But unexpectedly, the man on the opposite side resisted the mountain-like force and pushed Antaeus back.

Hercules also laughed.

"Poseidon? He has so many bad sons."

That Poseidon was affectionate and cruel, and he gave birth to offspring at will without caring that his divine power would be dispersed. Since Poseidon doesn't want to take care of it, Hercules should take care of this bad son on his behalf.

Then the great hero knocked Antaeus to the ground with one punch.

But the great hero's power can lift the sky and crack the earth, but Antaeus, who is infinitely powerful and invulnerable, still cannot be killed by him.

Even if the great hero beat the demigod down repeatedly and made him roar like a furious lion, he still couldn't kill him.

Invulnerable?

Then try another approach.

Then the great hero forced Antaeus up from the ground, and his broad arms tightened tighter and tighter.

Antaeus did not understand at first, but he soon realized the danger.

After being separated from the earth, Antaeus' strength was rapidly draining away, and soon he panicked and found that he was out of breath.

"no no……"

Amidst the cries of hardship and despair, this demigod who had been majestic for many years, invulnerable and powerful, was strangled to death by the great hero.

After killing the demigod, the hero quickly returned to his hometown. In his hometown, he heard news that surprised him.

Anchaeus is dead.

Ankaios, who had adventured with him on the ship and was revered as the core, died.

In the Golden Fleece Adventure, Ankaios and many heroes went to the distant country, defeated the dragon, and captured the Golden Fleece.

Then he heard that there was a ferocious wild boar in Calydon, a monster released by Artemis to wreak havoc on the world, so he volunteered to destroy it. There were many heroes who participated in the Calydonian boar hunting, but few survivors. Even Ankaios was eventually killed by the Calydonian boar.

Hercules was deeply impressed by Anchaeus.

Since his birth, there have been really not many people who can compare with him, and Ankaios is one of them. But even such a powerful Ankaios could not defeat the Calydonian wild boar. The ferocity of the Calydonian wild boar is evident.

So Hercules decided to kill the Calydon boar himself.

But before he arrived, he heard that the Calydon boar had been destroyed.

What surprised people the most was that the person who killed the big wild boar was not a man, but a beautiful huntress named Atalanta.

People say that Atalanta may be as powerful as Hercules.

Atalanta?

The great hero was unconvinced. He believed that if he went there by himself, he would definitely be able to eliminate the big wild boar. Since people say that Atalanta is great, let yourself accomplish great things that Atalanta cannot accomplish.

The great hero continued his twelve great deeds, and at the same time, somewhere in the Greek city-state, the reincarnation team was talking.

"The greedy wolf is dead."

The captain of the reincarnation named Lao Jiu sighed.

Greedy Wolf is very powerful, and he still remembers Greedy Wolf's style of challenging the divine generals head-on in the world of Book of Heaven. As strong as the generals of heaven, he was ultimately defeated by Greedy Wolf.

But even such a powerful greedy wolf still died in the end. According to the magic communication, he died at the hands of the son of the earth.

The woman named Baiwu cried.

They have also been partners for a long time. It was originally agreed that Ah Jiu and the swordsman would go with the heroes to capture the Golden Fleece. Baiwu and Greedy Wolf went to explore the world and look for opportunities.

As a result, Greedy Wolf separated from her and eventually died unexpectedly at the hands of Antaeus.

The team of four had been together for more than a hundred years, and now there were only three left.

The hard-hearted companions who have been together for so many years can't help but be moved. After pouring a bowl of wine for Greedy Wolf, Ah Jiu said.

"In this case, we can't defeat the great hero. If we want to kill the great hero, we must find a way to use the venom of Hydra."

The three looked at each other and a plan quickly formed.
