Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 177 Kratos's Guide and Companions
Hermes is a frivolous, vain person who likes to show off. He likes to talk nonsense, argue with others, and mock others. He will never be outdone by others in terms of words. As long as the opponent is not as fast as him, Hermes will have enough courage to launch an attack with words.

Therefore, Lin You immediately destroyed the speed that He relied on for survival, which was equivalent to destroying all the courage of the Messenger of God.

"Your task is to monitor Kratos' progress in real time, and then pass important information to each node; therefore, you must know much more about the entire plan than others. You can tell me much more than others." Lin You's smile was somewhat malicious, "Am I right in understanding this?"

Of course Hermes didn't dare to say the word "wrong" and nodded obediently.

"Very good." Lin You was satisfied with his attitude. "What are you going to tell me? I'm all ears."

With the magic of "Legitimate Psychic" and the powerful mental influence ability of Ophiuchus, it was impossible for Hermes to lie in front of Lin You; after paying the price of two more pieces of thigh meat, the envoy of God finally accepted his fate and poured out everything he knew like pouring out beans.

What Lin You was most curious about was how these native gods ensured that Kratos would kill every major god of the world he met along the way.

Although Kratos is extremely ruthless on the road of revenge, and is not afraid to kill or sacrifice any gods or mortals, he will only kill when necessary, such as those who directly block his way or affect his revenge goals in other ways.

Apart from the above two situations, Kratos may not kill the rest even if they clearly show hostility; the most obvious example is the Queen Hera. If she hadn't cursed at him, Kratos might have just ignored her.

In the game, as the plot develops, the hatred between the original gods and Kratos becomes deeper and deeper; in the later period, it is normal for the gods to grit their teeth and commit suicide when they see Kratos.

But the main god of the big world has no grudge against Kratos, and not every god has such a bad temper that he would bring death to himself with just a mouth. Why would they fight to the death when they meet for the first time?
Hermes answered this question: "We sent Hercules and Hebe to Kratos and gained his trust. Hestia also provided help to Kratos when necessary and was regarded as a reliable guide by him."

"I understand. Hestia is the guide responsible for pointing out the direction and goal. Hercules and Hebe are trusted comrades-in-arms responsible for stirring up Kratos' anger and intensifying conflicts when necessary." Lin You sneered, "You are well prepared!"

"Because none of us can afford the consequences of failure." Hermes smiled bitterly.

"But some of the original gods have different ideas from you." Lin You questioned, "Isn't Athena firmly opposed to your conspiracy? By the way, if She doesn't participate, how are you going to deal with the Goddess of Wisdom and War of the Big World? You won't return Her divinity as it is, right?"

"Athena's godhood will be divided equally among Hestia, Hebe, and Aphrodite." Hermes revealed another shocking news.

Lin You couldn't help but stare in astonishment. "I can understand Hestia and Hebe. After all, one is a loyal virgin goddess, and the other is a normal married woman with children without too many problems. But Aphrodite...you let a god of love and the patron saint of prostitutes share the godhood of a virgin goddess?"

When saying these words, the writer can't help but recall the 404 screen he saw when playing the game. How should I put it? When the plot of the game developed to the part where Kratos and Aphrodite met, he had to close the door and turn down the volume, for fear of being seen or heard by others.

"This is a request made by Hephaestus. He had no chance to obtain the godhood of the God of Fire in the Great World, so he specifically sought benefits for his wife. Of course, Ares also spoke on his behalf." Hermes replied, "Zeus also hoped that Hephaestus would help him transform the cage and arrange the core of the magic circle, so he agreed with reluctance." "This cuckold god has no regrets." Lin You complained speechlessly, "Where is the node of the magic circle that trapped Athena? Will I run into him on the way to the core of the magic circle?"

Hermes shook his head and said, "No, it won't. The node of the magic circle that trapped Athena is in the arena, and the core of the magic circle is on the top of Mount Olympus; they are not on the same road. Besides, you have Pegasus, you can fly directly to the top of the mountain."

"Very good, thank you for letting me know. Is there anything else you want to say? Like a last word or something?" After the previous communication with Apollo and Artemis, Lin You became more and more skilled at crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

Hermes' face was pale, partly because of the excessive blood loss from his legs and partly because of fear; the white mass of hair on his head had turned dull.

"Mr. Writer, how could you kill a defenseless prisoner? This would be detrimental to your honor... This is a despicable act that would tarnish your reputation."

"Your last words are so dull and boring, they can't move people at all." Lin You doesn't care about the so-called "honor and reputation". "Even if you can show more value that can help you survive, it's better than saying these boring nonsense."

The seemingly casual complaints are actually still a strategy to attack the other party's heart; the real purpose is to make the other party reveal more secrets through the threat of death - if there are indeed hidden secrets.

What made Lin You happy was that this death threat actually had a miraculous effect; when the golden snake showed its fangs and bit towards Hermes' neck, the other party cried and revealed an important secret in order to save his life.

"Hephaestus and Daedalus are in the dark, controlling the switch at the core of the magic circle. I can take you to them."

The golden snake's fangs stopped just before they bit through Hermes' skin. The writer's interested voice pierced through the armor: "Tell me more about it."

"The cage we prepared for Zeus in the big world was transformed and disguised as a palace by Hephaestus and Daedalus. They must open the passage in time when Kratos reaches the top of the mountain, so they need me to inform them of the news in real time; I know the location of the switch, which is also where they are hiding."

Hermes' voice was fast and urgent, as if he was afraid that if he spoke slowly his life would be in danger.

Lin You smiled and asked, "Where is that location?"

His Excellency the Messenger of God kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing, but a rare look of determination flashed through his eyes.
