Ares, God of War

After the general left, Athena waited for a while, and then from the void in the room, the figure of Lachesis, one of the three goddesses of fate, slowly emerged from the air, from the virtual to the real, and came to Athens behind Na.

"How about it?"

After hearing Lachesis' footsteps, Athena asked without looking back:

"Is there something wrong with this 'Perseus'?"

"It can't be confirmed, because of the twisted fate line, the first half of his life has been very different from the original fate."

Lachesis shook her head lightly, and replied:

"However, what can be confirmed is that his fate line does not intersect with Ares."

Athena bowed her head in thought for a while, then said:

"Then leave him alone for a while, and consider his loyalty a little bit. Behind Ares stands the great goddess. Even if the lines of fate do not intersect, it does not mean that they are incapable of controlling Perseus."

"Yes." Lachesis also looked in the direction of Perseus: "Then should you wake him up now?"

"Let him kneel for a while longer." Athena said, "This is for me and for him."

……

In the underworld, in Hecate's garden, Ares glanced at Perseus kneeling on the light curtain in front of him, and then directly directed his energy to other clones.

In the eyes of the people of Athens, this is a song of praise for the demigod hero Perseus, but for the owner Ares, it is just that he drove Perseus's body to the temple of Athena. He casually put on a "kneeling" expression, and then went offline directly.

"Your operation is really convenient." Hecate watched the coming and going in the light curtain, and the Athenians who looked at Perseus with respect and sympathy could not help but complain:

"If this continues, even if Athena herself doesn't trust you, she will choose to let you do things for her due to the pressure of the Athenians' internal public opinion?"

"Of course." Ares snorted, and said, "Other gods don't care about the attitudes of mortals, but Athena can't. After all, she has great ambitions in her heart and can't ignore the thoughts of any race in the world." .”

"What if she really doesn't want you alone?" Hecate asked.

"That's not easy." Ares pointed at the light curtain and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm not at a loss. If she doesn't need me, I will hang up until she is willing to use me."

Chapter 101. The second task

Seeing that Athena seemed to be intentionally leaving Perseus alone, Ares didn't care. Anyway, his spirit had left Perseus's body, and that body was no different from an unmanned machine now. , Those sicknesses, hunger and colds did not fall on him.

So he diverted all his energy to the other side, and began to continue to pay attention to Hercules.

After successfully killing the Nemean Lion, Hercules returned to the kingdom of Eurystheus, showed him the lion-skin armor and lion-skin helmet on his body, and saw his brother really After killing the giant lion that was difficult to hurt, Eurystheus thought about it and found him a more difficult task.

For the second mission, Eurystheus directly asked Hercules to kill the powerful monster who is now living in seclusion in the depths of the swamp, Typhon and Hydra, another child of Ekadna.

Monsters of this level can almost compete with the main gods. Except for the main gods who are good at fighting like Athena and Ares, people like Hermes and Aphrodite who are engaged in literary work or in charge of communication may not its opponent.

As the child of Typhon, the apex of Greek monsters, Hydera, apart from its poisonous poison that even the gods cannot ignore, can also be regarded as the most powerful in the Greek world, compared with Achilles in front of it in the future. Also just a brother.

It normally only has nine heads, but once one of its heads is cut off, its wound will heal quickly, and two heads will grow back. The head is absolutely impossible to kill, even if its main head is chopped off, and then the wound is burned with flames, it is useless to it. It is only possible to force the main head to be separated from the body for a long time. It can be killed.

This is also the reason why Ares and Athena failed to kill it in front of the Typhon Cave. Although the giant snake has a weaker combat ability for them, its immortality is really strong, and it is definitely not a set. Able to take away opponents.

Like the giant lion of Nemea, Hydera is also an absolute boss-level existence among the monsters in the Greek world. Even now, there is no shortage of heroes who want to rely on hunting monsters to make achievements everywhere in the Greek world, but Hydera Still staying in its swamp, no one dared to provoke it from the beginning to the end.

However, knowing that this was a mission for him to die on purpose, Hercules accepted the mission calmly. He took a rest in the country of Eurystheus, collected all the necessary materials, and then Once again embarked on a journey.

Just when Hercules had just left the Mycenae kingdom of Eurystheus, Ares appeared on the roadside and blocked his way.

"teacher."

Seeing Ares, Hercules stopped and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

"Wait a minute, this task cannot be accomplished by yourself."

Ares waved to him:

"Although Hydera can't beat you, its mechanism is very troublesome, and you need a helper."

"helper?"

Hercules thought for a while and asked:

"who is it?"

According to the usual routine of the Greek gods, he thought that Ares would let him go to a certain city-state in a certain country first, and find a certain person running around naked in a certain room on a certain street to be himself. By the way, he also turned him into a hero, but Hercules did not expect Ares to take an unusual path. After Hercules finished asking the question, he directly took out a The handsome male body, which looked a bit underwhelmed, was placed on the ground, then patted his shoulder, and said to Hercules:

"I will go with you myself."

……

A few days later, in front of a sinister swamp at the southern tip of the Greek world, Hercules asked cautiously to the man beside him who was helping him to carry his armor and lead his horse:

"Teacher, is Hydera in the swamp ahead?"

"That's right, I heard that it has been hiding in this swamp since it was suppressed many years ago."

Ares controlled the body beside Hercules, stared at the swamp in front of him, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Also, as I said, I am now the son of your half-brother Iphecles, call me Iolaus."

"Oh." When Hercules turned his head away, he couldn't help scratching his head and muttered, "How many half-brothers do we have?"

"You ask me how do I know?" Ares rolled his eyes: "Even Zeus himself doesn't know this question, okay? Maybe you can only ask the judges in charge of death in the underworld to see how many demigods there are. It's a Zeus hybrid."
