Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

"You can open this box, can't you? Since you can find someone to forge this box, can't you find someone to open it? You are also familiar with Hephaestus, and she will not sell you a favor. You have to open it, it's not the box that makes you keep the bottom line, it's just a hint, a psychological hint you give yourself."

Zeus understood that this was just a precautionary measure for Perseus, and he was really worried that he would eat it in order to survive for a few years.

"But I am still afraid, I am afraid that after death as a human being, I will no longer be me."

"But Perseus, are you exactly the same as you at your peak?"

"..."

Facing Zeus' question, Perseus was silent.

How can he be as good as he was in his prime now?

People are creatures that change, the past self and the present self will always be two people.

"Perseus, as long as you are still you, everything is enough. In my opinion, whatever you become is my child."

Zeus is holding his child, which seems to be the first time Perseus has held him since he was an adult.

"You are not a person who lives on the edge. I once asked Hades that you still have 15 years to live, but now you can't support it after 13 years. Why?"

"..."

Perseus didn't answer, but Zeus knew the answer.

"You have not slackened your responsibilities, as king you always have your people first in your mind, and your fear of your own lifespan is postponed."

Seeing Perseus now, Zeus knew that his child was afraid of death, but he also knew that Perseus was more afraid that his city-state would become weak, his people would be bullied, and the responsibility of the king would be overwhelmed. fear of death.

"As a hero and as a king, you are successful, and I am proud of you in my eyes."

"Are you... proud of me...?"

Perseus asked intermittently, would a god-king who is always victorious really be proud of his bloodline as a demigod?

"Yes, you have made such a great achievement, there is no father who would not be proud."

The words of Zeus are true. Perseus is a strong man, a hero, and a king, no matter which one he is, he is perfect.

Eyes of Perseus clouded with tears.

He has experienced countless battles in this life, no matter how powerful the attack pierces his body, it is impossible to make him cry, but he did not expect that gentle words can bypass everything and hit the heart directly.

With the deflection of the sun, most of the dark room was covered by sunlight, Perseus cried bitterly in Zeus' arms, and the undead old man looked like a child instead.

He has been recognized as the strongest god, and that god is also his father.

The originally awkward relationship between father and son seemed to have improved, and Zeus didn't say much, just hugging was enough at this moment.

......

The next day, the oral oracle of Perseus was circulated in Ethiopia.

"In all of Greece, if there are people who think they are strong and heroes, they can come to Ethiopia. Let me see if there is anyone in Greece who can be called a true hero after me."

That was Perseus' gauntlet to all Greece.

The ending of a hero should not be on the bed, but as a man dying on the ring, in the fiercest battle, burning his last flame of life.

Let all Greece know that I, Perseus, have been here.

Chapter 250 Three Perseus' Letter of War

Is Perseus really dying?

When the news of Perseus's death came, most people felt relieved, whether they felt that the sky was jealous of the talent or that they were so happy to drink champagne.

Such a person is finally going to die.

The existence of Perseus is difficult for the surrounding city-states to sleep at all, and it is a mountain that cannot be climbed for those who aspire to become heroes. Now that this mountain is finally about to fall, how can people not be embarrassed?

Then...they heard Perseus' gauntlet.

Should I go?

The answer to this question was obtained almost instantly. Whether it was to determine the life and death of Perseus, or to fight Perseus again when he was dying, it was something that people could not refuse, and among these people Naturally there was Hercules.

"That is to say, Perseus will pass the throne in the near future, and after he steps down as king, he will set up a ring in Ethiopia and wait for everyone's challenge?"

Hercules looked at the flow of people heading towards Ethiopia one after another. Although some of them didn't look up to him, the number was too many.

Most of them are for picking up.

They think that Perseus is old and weak. After a round of exhaustion, do they have the possibility of winning?

What a ridiculous guy.

Although Hercules was only 13 years old, he was safe among these ferocious crowds.

These days, there are indeed a few short-sighted guys who plan to rob this kid who dares to go out alone, let them social people educate this fledgling kid, and then...they become Hercules His travel expenses are spent.

Along the way, not only did Heracles not lose one point, but more and more.

I finally know which heroes who are away from home do nothing and why they are rich.

After all, there are so many blind people in the world, it would be a pity to kill them, and when they run out of money, they will go for a walk in the wilderness and savagely eat leeks.

"Perseus is a hero who has experienced many battles. How could he not know the shortcomings of his old age and physical strength, and still want to fight with wheels?"

Hercules thought about how he should face this situation if he was in the situation of the other party.

He thought about several plans, but the final result was that, from a purely utilitarian point of view, this was an unnecessary battle.

Obviously my condition is not good, and I obviously have an undefeated record, why would I want to put down the ring with the possibility of not being guaranteed at the end of the season.

Hercules really didn't understand what his grandfather was thinking.

......

"Is everything ready?"

Perseus looked at the arena being built outside the city, he felt that his lifespan was decreasing little by little, but the arena was being built little by little.

The fear of death was rarely diluted.

What is the reason?

Did Zeus' enlightenment have an effect, or is it the fear of death suppressed by the possibility of battle, or has the so-called "hero Perseus" returned again?

"Father, you don't have to..."

"No, it is necessary."

Perseus rudely interrupted his son's persuasion. Even though he had passed on the throne, the old king was not dead yet, and no one in the city dared to disobey his will.

"Even if I die, I won't die on the bed."

Although the new king is the son of Perseus, he has no more ways to persuade his long-standing father.

Even though Perseus is no longer the king of Ethiopia, what is it to be beaten to death in the arena, and Perseus also specially ordered that revenge is not allowed.

Do you want to lose the face of this city-state?

Seeing his child leaving with a sigh, Perseus also felt that what he said was a little bit serious, after all, the other party was already the new king, so would it make the other party unable to step down.

"I'm not as good as you as a father."

Perseus thought of his father again, although no one ever prevented Zeus from stepping down, Zeus would not be aggressive with someone.

Zeus seems to have never used the majesty of being a god-king or a father to force others. This ability to make others unknowingly walk on the path he arranged is really enviable.

"Then let's begin, the curtain belongs to me."

......

When everyone who comes outside of Ethiopia can see the huge arena, on the several floors of the arena, which is hundreds of meters long, the old man who is almost dead seems to be waiting, waiting for someone to come and kill him people.

Ordinary civilians, magicians, adventurers who want to be heroes, and... gods, they all looked at Perseus in unison.

Everyone wants to know one thing, how much power does the old Perseus have, and where is the limit of a human being.

"I am very glad that so many people came here today. I am Perseus, the son of Zeus, the hero who defeated Gorgon, and today I will usher in my funeral as a human being."

Looking at the people gradually gathering below, there are a few young people with good strength among them, but more of them are crowds of onlookers. They can't see Perseus, they can only listen to his voice.

"I am the first demigod in Greece. Naturally, there is a suitable funeral for me. The rules are very simple. Those who can climb up the ring without tools are eligible to challenge me. If they fall off the ring, lose consciousness, and take the initiative to admit defeat, I am defeated. I will try my best not to kill you."

What Perseus said caused an uproar in the world. Although he was recognized as the strongest, it was all a long time ago.

Back then, the Greek people were fighting among the nests, and the requirements and evaluations among the strong were relatively low. As long as you were stronger than others, it was enough, but it is not the same now.

The big standard of strength has changed from being stronger than others to being stronger than Warcraft.

Being better than others is nothing. Hunting monsters alone, subduing phantom species, and breaking out from the siege of the regular army, these have instead become indicators of force to measure the strong and heroes.

In fact, once human beings have new goals, their growth rate is astonishing. In today's Greece and not Greece in those days, with the aging of Perseus, more and more people began to think that Perseus was the strongest. The name and the misnomer.

However, because he is the king of Ethiopia, he lives in a simple place and will not fight against others, and because of the achievements he made in the early years, naturally no one will think that he is not worthy of the name.

With the merits of Perseus, even this "strongest" name should be carried to the grave.

It's just that today Perseus openly questioned the purity of today's Greek "heroes", and the provocative meaning in this is almost overflowing.

But such clumsy rhetoric still works.

People who will be stimulated by such words are more or less confident in themselves, facing an old Perseus, they will naturally jump into the ring one after another.

In front of these people, the arena that was several floors high was just as high as a small step.

Strong physical fitness, as well as more efficient methods of releasing magic power, all these make these people look like heroes in the eyes of ordinary people.

Of course, he is only a hero in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Is there only this one? I thought there would be hundreds of people, so I specially built such a big arena."

Perseus stroked his beard, and immediately felt that it was a waste of time and money to build such a big arena.

"Perseus, we recognize your past achievements and strength, but you must understand that your time has passed."

"Yes, my time is over."

Perseus did not deny the other party's clamor, but felt nostalgic.

"Although my era has passed, the era that follows may not necessarily belong to your era."

Perseus is old, his skin is loose, his muscles are atrophied and his magic power is weak, but his eyes are still bright. At this time, he looks at the "heroes" in front of him like a lion patrolling his territory.

"Then... witness, my wrath."

Flame fell from Perseus, it was pure magic condensed flame.

It is not impossible for them to use the magic power like a condensed entity, so even these Greek elites can’t help but use it like eating and drinking water, which is unimaginable at all. things.

"Don't worry, I said that I will not kill you as much as possible."

Perseus stretched out his thinned arm, while the other hand was still leaning on a cane, but when he clenched his fist, a sense of crisis instantly swept over everyone, and in fact their premonition was correct.

The fierce wind roared in the arena, and the flames danced in the wind. In the flickering or extinguishing flames, the old figure of Perseus shuttled among them.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The simplest move with absolute strength and speed is the most unsolvable move in the world.

That is the closeness that has been condensed across countless battlefields, and it is the feeling that can only be touched beyond life and death. These challengers also have similar things, so they can feel how much stronger Perseus is than them.

Those "heroes" who are well-known in some city-states are few in the hands of Perseus, and it even takes three or five people to work together to try to limit Perseus's movement.

Perseus knew that his peak state would not last long, and he could even see Hades in a trance.

That's the sign of a dying man, it's just...

"I can't die now, such an opponent can't make me happy at all, I need an enemy to end the curtain for me."

Stronger power spewed out from Perseus's body, and the people who were able to fight him were immediately forced back by the flames condensed by magic power.

That kind of high temperature seems to be the last splendor of fireworks, and I want to leave my most shining moment to the whole world.

"Where is the stronger one?"

Perseus' roar spread from outside the city to the inside, and even ordinary civilians could feel the anger and unwillingness in it.

Perseus knocked a person out of the ring, and even faced some attacks without dodging or evading head-to-head encounters, just to try to consume his physical strength and give opportunities to the latecomers.

He just wanted a hearty battle to bring his life to an end, couldn't this wish be fulfilled?

After Perseus found that the opponent's strength was not enough to meet his requirements, he began to take all the damage without dodging or evading, but this also greatly enhanced his aggressiveness.
