Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 199
The sharp whip of thorns is like a steel knife. Every time it is drawn, it can take away a piece of flesh and blood from Epaphos's body. Just a few dozen whips have scraped his whole body dripping with blood.

He shouted and cried: "My father is Zeus, he will never let you go! He will never let you go!!!"

"Another hundred whips!!"

Atlas issued another order, ready to teach the opponent a lesson.

Epaphos's face turned pale with fright, but the two brothers, the God of Mocking, ignored him, and they still whipped harder and harder, but they saw blood from the whip, every time there was flesh.

After a while, Epaphos was pumped down to a bloody skeleton, but because he was in the underworld, he did not die.

Instead, he quickly recovered under the magic power of the gods, so he survived more than 150 lashes during the recovery and destruction.

At this moment, he no longer dared to shout anything, let alone mention Zeus' name, because he found that the more Zeus was mentioned, the harder the opponent hit.

It seems that overnight, the title of the king of gods is not easy to use.

Hermes on the side was beaten less, he was hung up and beaten, at this moment his wrists were red from being shackled, and his heart was trembling.

To him, the tragic situation in Epaphos is like killing chickens and monkeys, but you still feel afraid when you know that people use this method.

Because the whip is real, and whether it can withstand it depends on the will of the individual, rather than tactics and reason.

Hermes was afraid in his heart, for fear that Hades would think of him, but sometimes the more you are afraid of something, the more you will do it.

After dealing with Epaphos, Atlas looked at Hermes again, and ordered the left and right: "Drag him here!!"

If you say drag it over, you really drag it over.

The evil gods took out the shackles, bound his legs, and dragged him to the face of the king of the underworld.

Hermes was already scared, because here, it seemed that Poseidon and Zeus didn't have a good face at all, and hurriedly begged Atlas for mercy: "The great king of the underworld, you are the lamp that guides the soul. He is the guide on the way of my Hermes.

My dear, respected, and respected uncle, please don't use such vicious methods against your nephew. I will answer truthfully whatever you want to ask! ! "

The god of thieves has a very nasty relationship with Hades. Don't you know that you are attached to Hades. What does Atlas have to do with me?
However, he didn't care about him too much, but asked lazily: "Tell me, did you become Thanatos, the god of death coaxed by the old man, and let him give up his responsibilities."

This sentence implied a deep meaning, as long as Hermes confessed, all the guilt would be borne by him alone, and at most he would reprimand the god of death, and even Zeus couldn't find any reason for this.

But once Hermes says no, the crime is still on Death.

Because the authority of Thanatos is in his own hands, and no one else forced him, it was he himself who couldn't stand the stimulation and didn't reap the soul, which led to chaos in the world.

How shrewd is the God of Thieves?
He knew that once he agreed, the matter would be settled from then on. There were thousands of mistakes, and everything was Hermes' fault.

Although he was ordered by Zeus to help Epaphos, in order to preserve his reputation, Zeus might abandon him and give him severe punishment.

In short, this charge must not be admitted.

"No, I've never heard of any old man, let alone about Thanatos giving up his duties. My dear uncle, it's obviously his negligence, why do you blame me, my nephew?"

Hearing this, Atlas couldn't help rubbing his teeth, and the other evil gods were also gearing up when they saw this.

"It seems that you are still not convinced, come here, and continue to practice family law!!"

When Atlas gave the order, Hermes was immediately dragged back to the distance by a group of evil gods, and then hung upside down by chains and twitched with a whip.

Because of his divine body, the opponent's recovery speed is very fast, almost as soon as the front foot is pumped, the granulation can be seen rolling and growing on the back foot.

The old god Atlas is here, and he doesn't care about any friendship at all, because there is no friendship at all.

Hermes grinned in pain, and he was able to hold back at first, but he became more and more unbearable later on, and began to yell.

"Hades, you stupid old stubborn, you must be punished by Zeus, I curse you.

The God King will definitely avenge me! ! "

"Okay, okay, I understand." Atlas waved his hand in a dispirited manner, and said to the other evil gods: "Gag his mouth!!"

The evil god got the order, and immediately took out the rag for wiping the temple, and forced it into Hermes' mouth, which could only make him groan.

But after a while, the two god of mocking brothers stopped suddenly. Atlas looked strange and couldn't help asking: "Fighting, why did you stop?"

"Master Pluto...he." The two brothers hesitated, not daring to raise their heads, and said, "He seems to be crying."

Atlas looked over his head, and sure enough, he saw Hermes's upside-down face covered with tears, his pitiful look, and he was immediately amused, "He cries for others, and you beat you, what's the difference between the two?" relevant?
keep playing! ! "

When the two brothers heard the words, they immediately started whipping again with the whips. This time, they worked harder each time.

Hearing the heavy sobs, even the many evil gods couldn't help but feel a little cold in their hearts. Lord Pluto usually looks smiling, but when he really started to do it, he was really unambiguous.

You know, that's Hermes, one of the main gods of Olympus.

Among the gods of Olympus, only Zeus dared to beat the main god in public. The others had to look up even for a glance, and did not dare to look directly, or even look up,

For a while, everyone respected and feared Pluto.

Even with Artemis, seeing the tragic situation of Hermes and Epaphos when they were executed with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel hairy.

Looking at his boss, Boros, he was already chatting happily with Pluto.

The bad breath in Artemis' heart finally dissipated quietly under the whipping.

At this moment, she also thinks about pet crocodiles and the like. This kind of punishment like Ling Chi makes people feel hairy.

Just as the god of thieves continued to be tortured, another god came to report.

"My lord, the Rainbow Goddess brought you a metaphor from Zeus, and I want you to explain why there is no human death in the world."

Hearing this, Atlas didn't say anything, Hermes, who had been beaten all the time, and Epaphos, who had been paralyzed from fright, seemed to see the dawn and the savior, and hurriedly whimpered excitedly .

At last, at last, Zeus has come to rescue them! !

Hermes looked at Hades, who was sitting alone on the high platform, with hatred, and resentment and resentment flashed in his eyes, "Hades, when I go out, I will make you pay the price and make you suffer the whole world." The greatest humiliation, becoming the laughing stock of everyone!!"

However, as the old saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, and extreme joy begets sorrow.

Hermes quickly realized the meaning of despair from the excitement.

Atlas waved his hand without raising his head, and signaled: "Tell the Rainbow Goddess, I am investigating this matter, and when the results are found, I will give Zeus a satisfactory explanation!!"

The evil god knelt down on one knee, bowed his head to obey, and then quietly left under Hermes' desperate eyes.

"No, the Rainbow Goddess will never leave like this!!"

Unfortunately, after a while, the underworld god who sent the order came back and reported: "Master Hades, Goddess of the Rainbow hopes that you can find out the truth as soon as possible, and has already left."

"Go? Go!!! How can you go!!!"

The corners of Hermes' eyes could not wait to stare open, but that was the truth. Hearing that Pluto was still investigating, he turned around and reported to Zeus.

When the Rainbow Goddess returned to Olympus, the Queen of Heaven and Zeus were waiting, and they couldn't help sighing when they learned that Pluto was also investigating this matter.

Zeus sighed: "It seems that there is something hidden about this matter. Even Pluto is kept in the dark. Let's wait."

The Queen of Heaven Hera nodded, and said: "The soul in the world is immortal, and the one who suffers the greatest loss must be Hades, the king of the underworld. He should be anxious."

Ever since, the two of them waited for Pluto to investigate this matter thoroughly before reporting it.

On the other hand, Hermes, who has been whipped in the underworld, was beaten into a trance. He was looking forward to day and night, hoping that Zeus would come to rescue him, but he waited and waited, waiting desperately. No reinforcements were seen.

At this time, the god of ridicule was beating and advising: "What are you still insisting on? For a mortal? Why bother to hold on?
Look at Epaphos, he has recruited. "

While talking, he approached the God of Thieves, and said cunningly: "Guess what he said?

He said, the mastermind of all events is you!The god of thieves, Hermes! ! ! "

Hearing this, Hermes' eyes widened in disbelief. He turned into an old man to trick Thanatos, God of Death, in order to save Epaphos.

For Epaphos, he is the other party's great benefactor.

Later, helping the other party deal with Themis, and running around like a broken leg, was also to help Epaphos avenge his revenge.

Obviously, everything was proposed by Epaphos, and it was also for his sake. Now, he has become the mastermind instead?

"This bastard deserves to be cut to pieces!!"

Hermes' eyes were bloodshot, staring blood-red, wishing he could cut Epaphos into pieces and eat them on the spot.

At this moment, the last line of defense in his heart was finally broken through, and he glared and whimpered, indicating that he was willing to confess.

However, the God of Mocking saw that his face was covered in blood, and he was still staring at him, thinking that the other party was still dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but yell.

"Hermes, you are willing to be this hero, I am more willing to be that villain, because the reputation of Hades is inherently bad, since you don't want to say it, I will hit you to say it!!"

After finishing speaking, under the incredulous eyes of the God of Thieves, he swung his whip fiercely.

"I said, I am willing to say, stop hitting!!"

Hermes kept shaking his body, rolling like a loach, but the sound he made was a dull roar.

The god of ridicule only thought that he was still ready to speak hard, and while beating him, he scolded: "Say it or not, say it or not!!"

"Woo (I said), Woo (I said)!!"

"Would you say it! Do you say it??! If you don't say it, I'll kill you!!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this to say really!! ”

In such extreme misunderstandings, the God of Thieves lasted for another few months.

Until Zeus remembered his precious son.

On this day, Zeus turned his attention to Egypt, ready to see how Hermes' work was done.

Has Epaphos already achieved success, established a kingdom, and found a good destination?
However, his eyes swept across the entire Egyptian continent, and he did not see Hermes and Epaphos at all.

"Strange, did they go to other continents to develop?"

Zeus didn't know the situation, so he moved his perspective to Europe, Greece, and even the east.

He looked all over the continent in a short time, but he hadn't found any trace of the two of them.

Zeus knew that there must be something abnormal in it, but because of Hera, the queen of heaven, he couldn't go to investigate in person, so he called his heroic son Apollo again.

"Apollo, I have something to tell you to do, you go." Zeus was about to speak when he suddenly saw Apollo holding a delicate flower in his hand, pulling the leaves one by one, and muttering words in his mouth.

"She likes me, she doesn't like me, she likes me, she doesn't like me"

Every time he said a word, he pulled a petal, and Zeus's head grew big when he saw it, "Apollo, what's the matter with you? I'm talking to you!!"

Only then did the god of logic and poetry react, and said melancholy: "I just lost my love, lovely Daphne, I like her so much, but she doesn't even look at me."

Zeus was surprised, and quickly asked the reason for the incident.

Knowing that his child was taken away by the daughter of the river god at a glance, he suddenly became curious.

"What kind of woman can make my proud son so depressed, I think she must be very beautiful.

Since she doesn't like you, maybe she likes me. "

He muttered to himself in his heart, opened his eyes again, and looked towards the ground, looking for Daphne's figure. This time, he was very fast, and he found it at a glance.

But when he saw the other person's appearance, he suddenly felt disgusted again, eh~ that's it?

Zeus was used to seeing all kinds of women with all kinds of styles, and played all kinds of tricks. He really couldn't see Daphne's beauty.

What made him curious was, how could such a person attract Apollo?

You know, Apollo's appearance is a perfect model of a handsome man, not a bit different from when he was young, but now he is attracted by an ordinary woman.

Either there is an unknown conspiracy in it, or this woman has special skills.

Suspicious, he quickly asked about the details, and quickly sorted out the context and discovered the clues of the incident.
