Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 178 Hermes' Willpower
If Hermes's firmness and determination were on someone else, such as Kratos, it would definitely give Lin You a headache. But for this envoy of God... the so-called "firmness and determination" was just a paper shell covered with rouge and powder.

Ophiuchus's mind control ability easily weakened Hermes' will to resist, and then the silent enhanced version of the "Confusion Spell" further confuses his mind; when he is in a trance, he uses "Leminacy".

"You don't want to tell me, or do you just not know? Are you just making up a secret to save your life?"

Lin You's voice was as gentle as a lullaby, and with the help of the "Confusion Spell", it continued to erode Hermes' consciousness.

"Is there really a switch that controls the cage? Do you really know where Hephaestus is? There is no hiding place, no secret passage. It's not that you don't want to tell me, but you simply can't tell me; you can't tell me because you can't make it up..."

"No, of course I know! This secret is true, I won't tell it, I won't tell it, but I know..."

Hermes used all his remaining conscious will to remind himself to "keep" the secret and warned himself not to speak it out loud; but he did not prevent himself from recalling the location and road of the secret place in his mind.

Little did he know that Lin You didn't need him to say it, he just wanted him to think about it. As long as he thought about it in his mind, the secret would naturally be captured by "Leidemision".

The same trick was once used on Viscount Aiden, the head of the Nilfgaard Empire's intelligence agency. Although the Viscount also exposed the secret at that time, he quickly woke up from the Confusion Spell; but now Hermes has been slow to realize the fact that he is under mental control.

Although the divine versions of "Confusion Spell" and "Legitimate Psychic" are more powerful and incomparable to the magic that Viscount Aiden encountered, Hermes, as a god, is not as good as an ordinary mortal in performance, and cannot rely solely on the increase in magic power.

All I can say is that the Envoy of God is not a "God" with a strong will. No matter if he is a man or a God, the more he talks when he has nothing to do, the less he can keep secrets when something really happens.

Finally, Hermes was awakened by Lin You's mocking sneer. He was not stupid. He understood everything immediately after waking up. He was sweating profusely and asked with a fluke mentality: "What did you do to me?"

"What can I do? I can only make you lose your value." Lin You sneered, "Goodbye, Your Excellency the Envoy of God."

After the Ophiuchus Saint said this, the golden snake bit down, and the golden color all over its body instantly turned into purple and black; the scorching god-killing poison invaded like a raging fire, flowing along the blood vessels straight into Hermes' heart.

There was a third native god in the dimensional space whose whole body was stiff.

Like the previous two, Hermes did not die completely. The author was reluctant to stain his hands with the blood of the gods unless necessary; he would rather wait until everything was settled and hand over these Olympian gods to Zeus for disposal.

Lin You even went out of his way to help Hermes stop the bleeding.

However, not being stained with blood does not mean that the writer cannot take advantage; Hermes' boots were taken off by him and became a new collection of the Forrest family.

After taking off his boots, Lin You didn't rush to put them on. Kratos in the game can do this because it is set in the game plot. Any weapon and equipment, as long as you get it, will belong to Kratos, and there will be no sequelae; but the writer is a little cautious to prevent any eventuality.

Who knows if there will be something "dirty" on these boots? It's better to wait until the story of God of War is integrated into the big world and then wear them after modifying them with a quill pen. Because Hermes delayed a little time, Lin You was not in a hurry; he commanded Pegasus to take off, but he did not fly directly to the top of the mountain as originally planned, but followed the path "taken" from Hermes' heart and flew to the secret place where the God of Fire was hiding.

At this time, Kratos had only managed to kill Hermes in the big world; followed by the goddess of hunting and the goddess of wisdom.

It is conceivable that the native gods will not allow Kratos to take shortcuts, and the writer also has plenty of time to find Hephaestus and Daedalus and find a way to break the cage.

On the other hand, while the writer was busy in the world of God of War, Mount Olympus in the big world was gradually falling into unprecedented chaos.

After the sun inexplicably set on the first day and the entire holy mountain fell into endless darkness, on the second day, all the crops, fruit trees, and even flowers on and below Mount Olympus withered; in an instant, the land was barren for thousands of miles, and everywhere one looked was filled with the bleakness of a harsh winter.

On the third day, all the fine wine on Mount Olympus turned into bitter water in the blink of an eye, and it was extremely smelly. Not to mention drinking it, even smelling it close up was nauseating.

Not only the brewed wine, but also the semi-finished products in the process of brewing and even the raw materials in the initial fermentation all decayed and rotted one after another; the mountain was filled with a foul stench, and all the gods covered their noses.

At this time, the gods probably had their own guesses; if the setting of the sun was due to the accident of Apollo and Helios, then the withering of the grass and the stinking of the wine must be because the goddess of agriculture Demeter and the god of wine Dionysus met with misfortune.

The Holy Mount Olympus is not only the residence of a group of gods, but also has a large number of servants and waiters serving the gods. At this moment, one strange thing after another happened, but the main gods who stayed behind in the holy mountain remained silent, which made people panic for a while.

Later on the third day, all the livestock on Mount Olympus fell ill and lay dying on the ground; everyone speculated that something had happened to the messenger Hermes. A huge panic finally began to spread on a large scale.

But until this time, the Temple of Zeus on the mountain was still silent; neither the Queen of Heaven Hera nor the God of War who was temporarily in charge of the affairs came out with any sound.

The temple of Zeus was solemn inside and outside. The holy fire in the temple was burning, and the firelight reflected Ares' face, with light and shadow flickering. Apart from the god of war, no other gods could be seen in the entire temple.

A figure was faintly visible in the holy fire. It was Jupiter from the Pantheon. He and Ares were having a conversation through the holy fire.

Ares was the first to speak, and he began with a barrage of sarcasm: "Hey, Jupiter, Your Majesty the King of the Pantheon, it's really not easy to meet you. I didn't know that the Pantheon had so many affairs to deal with."

All the gods knew that the Pantheon had lost most of its main gods to Mount Olympus, and now it was almost just an empty shell.

Ares's words were just a slap in the face, but Jupiter remained indifferent, and even smiled and "explained": "I just heard that Mount Olympus was in big trouble, and I thought you must be very busy during this period, so I didn't dare to disturb you easily."

The King of Gods is the King of Gods. Just one sentence was enough to choke Ares to death.
