Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 197

Seeing the attack of the two, Poros taunted him. He turned around, raised his leg, and kicked sideways. The two moves were done in one go. One kick knocked Epaphos to the ground, while Hermes on the other side did not. Escaping from Boros's poisonous hand, Boros grabbed his arm and fell to the ground severely.

"All living beings have strengths and weaknesses, even gods are no exception!!" Boros grinned lightly, licking his sharp teeth with his tongue, without the slightest intention of chasing after victory.

Epaphos struggled to get up from the ground, and looked at Poros with anger and killing intent. He never thought that the other party had such amazing fighting power.

He had never encountered such a powerful enemy.

Hermes was also terrified. He was born relatively late, so he didn't know the strength of the dog's head. At this moment, he was knocked to the ground by one move, and he immediately felt the gap between the two.

However, how could Hermes, the majestic envoy of the gods, have only a mere combat power.

Hermes cheered up, and in an instant, he turned into a flash of neon light and rushed out at the speed of light.

In an instant, everything in front of him became incomparably slow, water droplets stopped falling, birds stopped in the air, and everything in the world seemed to have fallen into a stillness.

Even Boros, the god of the stars, is no exception.

"Just one click, just a slight push, can cause him to suffer incomparable damage!!"

Hermes thought so, and at the same time did so.

He reached for Poros with neon-glowing palms, ready to push him.

The next moment, a terrifying energy erupted from Hermes' palm, and a gust of wind swept across the field.

With a muffled sound, Poros was directly knocked into the air by Hermes' violent blow at the speed of light, and smashed hard into the woods.

And Hermes was still standing there.

Epaphos looked at Hermes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

How can this be?

This guy is so powerful, he couldn't dodge the blow just now.

At this moment, Boros was lying there, motionless, as if he was dead.

"What the hell is going on? You are so powerful??"

Hearing the question from his teammates, Hermes folded his arms and smiled lightly, "This world has always been divided into strong and weak, even gods are no exception!"

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Poros, who had already climbed up with the support of Artemis, "But I really admire your bravery and perseverance! Not only can you resist my attack, but also your ability to react It’s so fast, it’s worthy of being the god of the stars!” Hermes laughed, but the expression on his face was ghastly.

Epaphos' face sank when he heard this, and he became a little worried.

Boros wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the slight push just now was actually a push that exploded at the speed of light. Although his body was extremely strong, his sternum collapsed after being pushed, but in this short moment, he recovered as before. .

Because gods are immortal, this omnipotent characteristic has always been maintained on him.

but
"Hermes, daredevil, if you are really smart, you should take advantage of my carelessness and attack me continuously instead of watching my jokes like this!!"

With a gloomy face, the dog head pushed the concerned Artemis, stood up, and raised his palm to the god of thieves, "Wither like a flower!!"

As his words fell, Hermes immediately felt powerless, his eyes became cloudy, he could see things very blurry, his ears were not working at times, his whole body was sore, and it took a lot of effort to move his feet.

Beside him, Epaphos' eyes widened in horror, "Hermes, Hermes, what's going on with you?"

He stretched out his hand and stepped forward to support the crumbling Thief God.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" Hermes asked in horror.

"You are getting old, you have become so old, Boros' magic has harmed you!!"

"Growing old?"

Only then did Hermes realize that his original muscular arms were full of wrinkles, he was as thin as firewood, his back was sore and weak, and he couldn't straighten up. He pulled his hair and found that his hair was also white It's gray, and it falls when you pull it.

As Poros said, he withered like a flower in an instant, as if he had come to the end of his life.

"Now? God of Thieves, I heard that you can steal everything, but can you steal your youth from me?"

Poros laughed playfully.Artemis on the side hurriedly said: "I'm afraid he will find it difficult to even take a step. Look at his wings, they are dim and almost extinguished."

"No, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!!"

Hermos uttered in horror, and his voice was full of vicissitudes of life.

Epaphos was also shocked. Although Hermes didn't tell him the actual situation, he also had a vague guess.

"You shouldn't be so arrogant, you should kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy like a dog, instead of being so rampant in front of me!!"

Epaphos yelled, clenched his fists, exuding a strong murderous aura.

Without the God of Thieves, facing Boros, he is like meat on the cutting board, so he may know that he will lose, so he becomes more and more crazy.

Looking at the lunatic in front of him, Boros shook his head slightly, his eyes full of disdain, "It's just wishful thinking for a person like you to try to get my hands on my divine splendor!! I don't mind teaching you a lesson, and I'll tell you a word by the way, no matter you Who is it, you can only live under my feet forever, but I can take your life at any time!"

As he spoke, Poros kicked Epaphos hard, kicked him flying, and slammed into a giant tree. Blood gushed out immediately and fell to the ground.

Poros kept walking, came to Epaphos, looked down at him and said, "Do you still remember what I said?"

Epaphos looked up and saw the murderous look in Poros' eyes.His heart couldn't help beating violently, but he didn't want to admit defeat.

"I admit that you are very powerful, but don't forget my identity. I am the son of God King Zeus just like you. Do you think he would like to see our brothers fight each other?"

Epaphos gritted his teeth and said.

Poros frowned when he heard this, and then showed a dazed expression.

At this time, the other party still wants to use Zeus to suppress him, there are so many tricks.

but
"Things like ants dare to call me brothers and sisters?"

Poros lifted his foot and crushed Epaphos's right arm with one kick. Immediately, plasma flowed from the sole of his foot, and Epaphos grinned in pain and yelled wildly.

"You will die, you will die! Zeus will not let you go, Zeus will not let you go!!"

"Oh? Then tell me why?" Poros raised his foot again, aiming quietly at Epaphos's neck.

This step will inevitably break his neck. Although the god of death will not take his soul again, but correspondingly, Epaphos is only a demigod, and his head will not grow back at all. He can only cut off his head for the rest of his life. , become a monster half-dead.

Of course Epaphos didn't want to be like this, so he hurriedly said: "Hermes was ordered by Zeus to help me, if you hurt us, you hurt Zeus!!"

Hearing the news, Poros frowned instantly. Could it be that Zeus asked Hermes to help the other party snatch his maid?

How could this old bastard issue such absurd orders?

In fact, Zeus didn't say that at all. He just wanted Hermes to help Epaphos achieve a career, which did not include robbing Artemis.

After all, Artemis is also his daughter, so it's all messed up.

But Epaphos was eager for revenge, and he used the excuse to confuse the god of thieves, making him have to follow, so this situation was created.

But Boros didn't know, so he fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that Zeus has already noticed my identity, and robbing Artemis is a temptation for me?"

Gouzi already had ghosts in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help thinking about it.

If things are really as he thinks, then he must act in advance, act first, and pull Zeus off his horse.

But this matter is more difficult, because Zeus's power of the gods is expanding, and it is not easy to cause trouble without some helpers.

"I should discuss it with Atlas, so as not to lose the opportunity!!"

Thinking of this, Poros stretched out his hand, grabbed Epaphos by the collar, and lifted him up like a chicken, then glanced at Artemis, and motioned for her to take Hermes back. bring.

"Let's go to the underworld, I want to find out the truth of the matter."

At the same time, Atlas was in the underworld, and he also received a report from his evil god, "Great Hades, the ruler of the underworld, our souls have suddenly stagnated. Then bring souls underground, is there any reason for this?"

Hearing his words, Atlas narrowed his eyes slightly. Since the birth of human beings, people in the whole world have died every moment, either from illness, dying of illness, falling into the water, being bitten to death by wild animals, etc. .

There are all kinds of ways to die.

Proud of this, the number of people in the underworld has become more and more. Among them, the good people are properly placed, and the evil people are directly escorted to build the shrine. Now, the population has suddenly stagnated. Could it be that Greece also has a population crisis?
Atlas was puzzled, and said: "Call Thanatos, I have something to ask him."

After hearing that, the evil god lowered his head silently, and said falteringly: "The god of death... the god of death has not returned since he went to the earth!!"

Atlas was stunned, he must have been kidnapped by Sisyphus, right?

In the original myth, similar things did happen.

In the story, Deucarion and Pyrrha, the survivors of the great flood, had a son named Heron.

To this day, the Greeks call themselves Heronites in honor of Heron.

Heron's son Aeolus bore four more sons, Sisyphus, Salmonius, Atamas, and Creteus.

As a descendant of Deucalion, the ancestor of mankind, although he is a great-grandson, his status is still noble. Among human beings, he is equal to or even surpassed by the nobles of the Tianlong people.

But Sisyphus is not as stupid as the Draconians, on the contrary, he has a very shrewd mind, shrewd enough to even be a little cunning.

His father, Aeolus, ruled over Aeolia, then known as Thessaly.

After Sisyphus grew up, like his brothers, they all went out to expand their territories and establish their own city-states.

Because he was educated in this way when he was young, and he has been trained as a leader.

If you are a herdsman, you will only think about how to herd when you grow up, but Sisyphus is already preparing to build a kingdom.

Because he is a direct descendant of the ancestor of mankind, he naturally won the support of many human beings.

People admire the glory of the ancestor of mankind, and they also feel that Sisyphus, who is the descendant of the ancestor, will also be a wise leader.

So when he left, many humans chose to follow him, so, with these people, Sisyphus established Ephira, which was later called Corinth.

After becoming king, Sisyphus did a few ridiculous things. Similarly, there are many wise deeds.

The famous one is that Hermes stole the cow. Sisyphus found the cow by relying on his own wisdom, and made the clever Hermes obey him without any revenge.

Surprisingly, when Zeus was hunting for beauty, he turned into an eagle and snatched away a beautiful woman. When the father of the beautiful woman was looking for her, Sisyphus told the whereabouts of her daughter, so he was hated by Zeus.

But what he is most known for is still fooling the god of death and the king of the underworld.

When Sisyphus was old, the god of death came as expected. The decayed body, the cold atmosphere, and the ghost floating in front of him all indicated that his time had come.

But Sisyphus did not want to accept his fate. With his superb eloquence, he drew closer to the God of Death, and commented on God of Death as a king and descendant of the first ancestor of mankind.

To gods, these identities are as insignificant as dust, but human beings are like this, always thinking that some of their achievements are too high to be expressed in words.

People who are slightly arrogant tend to compare their achievements with those of their predecessors and younger generations.

The so-called "there is no one before, and there will be no one to come after", this sentence fully expresses the arrogance of human beings.

In short, in the past, the present and the future, I am not a bird to anyone.

Those who are more arrogant feel their status and identity.It is enough to surpass the gods, and even once sealed himself as a god or something.

This is the case with Sisyphus, who is self-consciously noble, and judges Death with a very arrogant attitude.

Especially for the shackles in his hands, he showed great disdain.

"Look at the mechanism, it's unspeakably crude, clumsier than anything I've ever invented.

Great God of Death, do you rely on this thing to lock your soul?It seems that you are not as great as I imagined. "

In the face of provocation, the God of Reaper will of course not remain silent, and directly retaliate verbally, but this is also the trap of Sisyphus, not afraid of you speaking, but afraid of you not saying a word, just come up and torture him!
