Ares, God of War

The giant Nemean lion wobbled around, staring at the stars, completely unaware that he was in the north, south, east, and west, but Hercules took advantage of this opportunity to swiftly go around behind it, stretched out his strong arms, and directly strangled it. The neck of the Nemean lion.

Hercules uses Strongman on the Nemean Lion.

The effect was outstanding, and the Nemean lion died.

Hercules let out a roar, the muscles in his arms swelled up, and he exerted all his strength, lifting this giant lion that weighed several tons directly into the air.

The giant Nemean lion kicked its limbs desperately, but in terms of pure strength, it was weaker than Hercules, the freak among the four generations of gods, and after Hercules strangled its throat, It also blocked its intake of magic power and oxygen. The lion's struggle became weaker and weaker. Finally, Hercules' arms tightened again, and with a click, the Nemean lion's neck was twisted directly by him. broken.

Chapter 88. Notos who was beaten again

Clap clap clap.

After Hercules threw the heavy Nemean lion's body back to the ground, accompanied by a burst of applause, Ares' divine power avatar logically circled out from behind the tree.

"I admire your bravery, brother, and I want to reward you!"

While speaking, Ares bent down, lifted the paw of the Nemean giant lion, used it as a blade to cut open its corpse, and skillfully peeled off a complete lion from the lion. Then he took off the lion's four paws.

Then, he used the divine power in his body to blow out flames directly, using it as a furnace, and then made the lion skin into a leather armor, and the lion's head into a majestic helmet, and four lions Two of the lion's claws were made into a pair of fist gloves, and the remaining two were made into leather boots.

While retaining the original functions, these equipments were strengthened by Ares with the smelting skills of the god of fire Hephaestus and the magic of Hecate, which is more powerful than the original version.

After the forging was completed, Ares presented the equipment to Hercules. Of course, the latter did not refuse. While thanking him, he also thanked all the gods of Mount Olympus by the way. Of course, this is also The result that the two had discussed before.

Then, Ares casually mentioned to Hercules: "There is currently a competitive competition in Athens. If you are interested, you can take a look on the way back."

"I understand." Hercules understood, bowed his head and said, "Thank you God of War for your reminder."

"Then I'll go back." Ares patted Hercules on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Behave well, my brother."

After finishing speaking, his avatar turned back to the sky, but Ares did not go far, but followed behind Hercules. Since Athena knew what Hercules' first mission was, , then it is impossible for her not to guard against this move. It is estimated that there will be many twists and turns on Hercules' journey to Athens. Although this hero cannot be stopped, it is still possible to slow down his pace.

Sure enough, when Hercules was about to arrive outside the city of Athens, there was a sudden gust of wind in the sky, and Notos, the god of the south wind, who had been beaten up by Ares, appeared in the clouds again, blowing wind towards the earth. , and caused a huge torrential rain on the road ahead of Hercules. The torrential rain made the ground extremely muddy, making it difficult to walk, and Hercules had to hide in a cave impatiently.

Seeing this, Ares walked around behind Notos, the god of the south wind, without making a sound. He gestured behind this poor god who was still wearing shackles when he came out to do business, and found a suitable angle. Then he kicked out suddenly and kicked him down from the clouds.

"Ouch!"

The god of the south wind was caught off guard and rolled directly down from the cloud head. He only had time to turn his head and saw a familiar golden light flashing away on the cloud where he was staying just now. Falling on the muddy ground, he rolled several times in the muddy water, and he didn't know where he had rolled. When he finally stopped, Notos, who was covered in mud, was surprised to find that he had already rolled. Rolled into a cave, and in front of him, there was a strong man wearing a lion leather armor and a lion helmet, with his arms around his knees, looking straight at him.

Seeing this strong man, Notos was stunned, but the other party stood up straight away, reached out and picked up the huge bronze rod leaning next to him, he carried the human weapon on his shoulder, and circled around , blocked the only exit of this cave, and at the same time asked calmly:

"Are you blocking my way?"

"Wind and rain, what does it mean to block your way?" Hearing the strong man's question, Notos, the god of the south wind, came back to his senses, and at the same time showed a sneer. He tidied his clothes and washed them with divine power. After throwing off the mud stained on his body, he said to the strong man with a face full of disdain: "Get out of the way, mortals, I am the wind god Notos, and I am fulfilling the oracle of the god. I advise you not to try to stop a god. road, or—”

Since Zeus took the lead in messing around in the lower world, the gods on Mount Olympus have followed suit. There are also many demigods in the Greek world, but the strongest of these demigods can only compete with the weakest subordinate god. The weaker ones are like ordinary people except in some aspects, such as Linus, the son of Apollo, who was shot to death by Hercules.

Notos thought that the strong man in front of him was just an ordinary demigod, and no matter what he thought, he would not be an opponent of a powerful lesser god, but after he issued threats and warnings, Hercules just bowed his head , looked at him with a look that seemed to be in a daze.

"What? You can't understand human language? Are you a fool?" Notos walked up to Hercules with a domineering attitude, stretched out his hand and pushed Hercules' chest vigorously, but the latter remained motionless, his body Not even a shake.

According to common sense, seeing Hercules' physical strength in a completely crushed state, most people should have a solid understanding of the gap in combat power between the two sides, and they would not dare to provoke Hercules easily, but Notos himself He thought he was a god, he was used to arrogance, and he didn't pay attention to these demigods at all. When he saw Hercules not moving, he felt as if he had been insulted, and then he raised his eyebrows angrily, and cursed:

"You daring mortal? How dare you charge against the gods? Let me teach you a lesson!"

After speaking, Notos rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Hercules who was blocking the entrance of the cave.

A moment later, Notos, who was beaten up again with a bruised nose and face, was tied up by Hercules with a leather rope. Hercules tied his hands and feet together and passed through them with a wooden stick. He squeezed the gap between his hands and feet, and lifted him up, carrying him on his back. At this moment, the God of South Wind is like a slave.

"Mortal! You are blaspheming!" Even after being beaten by Hercules for a long time, the god of the south wind still kept his mouth open. With his tongue out, he threatened indistinctly: "You will die a miserable death in the future. ! I swear by the Father of the Gods! Ah—"

Hercules gave him a mouthful, and then stuffed a stone picked up from the side of the road into Notos' mouth, forcing him to shut his mouth.

Seeing this shriveled god, Hercules, who has been depressed recently, couldn't help feeling refreshed. He patted the arm of the god of the south wind, and then said to him according to what Ares said:

"You said that you came to block my way by an oracle, then I will go to the gods to ask for an explanation in the name of my father Zeus. It happens that the city of Athens is nearby. Why don't you come to Athens with me?" Goddess Na will judge, who is right and who is wrong in this matter."

Chapter 89. Athena, the best

When Hercules escorted Notos and rushed towards the Parthenon in Athens, Ares also mobilized his trumpet Perseus to follow the incarnation. Behind the sea king Poseidon in the city of Athens.

Although Poseidon came to the city of Athens, he did not act immediately. Presumably, he himself was also worried about his current situation. After all, he swore so boldly before the gods of Mount Olympus before, Said that he would never set foot on Mount Olympus again, but turned around and was found wandering around his niece's site in his avatar. This matter can't be justified on anyone's face.

Of course, as one of the two major destroyers of the image of the Olympus male god, Poseidon is definitely not such a shameless guy. According to the conclusions that Perseus has followed up in the past few days, this guy is just stepping on the spot, evaluating It's just risk and reward.

He probably received the news from the Three Goddesses of Fate and Athena from nowhere, and heard that there is a priest named Medusa in the Parthenon Temple who is very cute and cute, so he wants to come and have a look , Can the cuteness and cuteness of this Medusa make him fight this old face and get it at all.

After realizing this situation, Ares also notified Medusa of the matter through a secret method. While following Poseidon, he also asked the girl to protect herself when going out and not let others Saw her face.

Thanks to Ares, when Medusa went out these days, in addition to the usual hooded robe, she also added a black scarf. She used this scarf to surround her face, revealing only a pair of big eyes. And because these eyes are magic eyes, Medusa usually does not look at others when she speaks, which reduces the risk of her revealing her appearance.

It's just that these methods are only temporary. In order to correct the trajectory of fate distorted by Ares, Athena and the three goddesses of fate standing behind her will definitely try their best to expose Medusa's beauty to Poseidon. It was only a matter of time, so Ares also quickened his pace, while waiting for Hercules to bring Notos to Athens, while manipulating Perseus, striving to be in the city-state of Athens as much as possible during this time. Famous within.

Therefore, he also specially changed a trumpet to stare at Poseidon, while his Perseus trumpet was intensively participating in the comprehensive combat competition in the city of Athens.

When signing up, Ares only filled in his name and the weapon he used to fight, and the competition system in Athens City is also very simple. During the game, each player will be randomly assigned to a teammate to temporarily form a team to compete The teams of the two teams will fight in pairs, and then go all the way from the qualifiers to the knockout rounds to the semi-finals. If a two-person team wins in the semi-finals, then the final final will be a one-on-one match between the two members of the winning team. Decide who is the king of dueling at the Athens Games.

In competitive battles, the Athenians who are "poor and weak in martial arts" naturally do not use real swords and guns, but training equipment specially made by the Athenians according to the method given by Athena, such as wooden swords wrapped in cloth, Long sticks, etc., and arrows are also wrapped with a layer of gauze as a buffer.

And most importantly, I don’t know if the Athenians were stimulated by the Spartan warriors under Ares before. They smelted all the "best weapons" given by the Spartans before. , It was remade into a weapon that normal people can use, but only the bronze column of the highest specification in Sparta was preserved, and it was erected next to the entrance and exit of the arena in the city of Athens.

Once someone wins the competition, he can choose to challenge to lift up this bronze pillar and wave it around. If someone succeeds, then this person will be directly crowned as the "Goddess Warrior" of the city of Athens, and enter Parthenon Temple, personally received and blessed by the goddess.

Ares went for the title of "Goddess Warrior" this time. Speaking of this title, he chatted with Artemis casually before, and then let Artemis leak it to Athena.

While Ares's other trumpet was staring at the sneaky Poseidon, the comprehensive combat competition in the city of Athens began soon. After all, it was only the ancient city-state period, and the city of Athens did not have such a large-scale undertaking capacity. They don't have that long patience, so even for this grand event, all the competitions are completed within half a day.
