I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"By the way, what name do you plan to name this child?"

Hearing this, Hades stopped humming.The man looked tenderly at the child in his arms who had just narrowly escaped death.

"Serius, I will call him Serius."

"Seleus?"

"Yes, I hope this child has the courage to support him to live..."

Chapter 3 The Child Disgusted by the Gods

"Am I so unlovable? Teacher."

The red-haired boy was lying weakly on the bed carefully prepared by the centaur sage.With a high fever just gone, he asked the centaur sage standing aside with a slightly hoarse voice.

"How could it be? My lovely student, Lord Hades and I have always cared about you. It's just..."

The centaur sage was a little hesitant in his words, he was thinking about how to use words so as not to hurt the hearts of his students.

"The gods have the ability to look directly at the soul through the body of a mortal, so when the gods see an unfamiliar mortal, they will always decide their attitude towards this mortal according to the color of the mortal's soul."

The centaur sage slowed down his tone, he knew what kind of blow the following words would have on the young man.

"You know, your soul may be in the eyes of the gods... well~~ not so beautiful..."

"Yes, I know. It's like mixing up all kinds of filth and throwing it on a stone. My soul is that stone, and it could be even worse!"

The red-haired boy said so.

"Now it seems that it is really difficult for you and Mr. Hades to raise me so much."

The young man's dejected words grabbed the heart of the centaur sage. His youngest student was suffering unimaginable pain all the time, but he, as a teacher, could do nothing about it.

"You can't say that, Sirius. You are a lovely child who deserves the care and love of Lord Hades and me. Not only the two of us, Lord Hephaestus, Lord Hestia also cares about you, but , the goddess always looks very shy when facing cute opposite sex."

The centaur sage was cracking a little joke with his student, which he hoped would make his student feel better.

"Thank you, teacher. Your words always make people feel warm. I am much better."

The boy pulled himself together and sat up with his weak body propped up.

"I think my illness is almost cured, and now I can stun a wild boar at any time!"

The sage knew that his student wanted to make him feel better, and prayed in his heart for such a sensible student, but he still put on a smile on the surface.

"Let's take care of it for another day. With such a weak body, be careful of being screamed by wild boars like last time."

The sage looked at the student who suddenly blushed - he seemed to have stepped out of a trough.In this case, I feel a little more at ease.

"I'll get you some food and take a good rest for a day. Continue our training tomorrow."

"teacher!"

As soon as the sage turned around, he heard the student calling himself.He turned his head, and what he saw was the student's resolute eyes as if he had made some realization.

"I have never thanked you and Lord Hades as much as today! I swear that I will carry my name and live strong, and I will become a hero that can make you all proud!"

The sage smiled, unlike before, the sage smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Your existence itself is my pride. My cutest student."

......

He is the child of Cronus, the god of creation and destruction, and Phylula, the goddess.But because she was born with the appearance of a centaur, her mother Fylula couldn't accept her appearance and turned into a tree.He is a complete god and a child abandoned by his parents.

Because of the experience of being abandoned by his parents, as a god, he learned tolerance and understanding, learned to think from the perspective of a mortal, and learned not to use the eyes of God but to use his tender heart to feel the souls of others.

The wisdom and strength inherited from his parents were not used by him to gain power and wealth, but were regarded by him as capital to become a teacher.Without exception, the students he taught became heroes who attracted the attention of the gods.

He is the greatest sage of Greece, Chiron.

Now, Chiron has a new student.

This student was very special. When Hades, the king of the underworld, personally sent the child over, Chiron immediately noticed the pain the child was suffering.

Pluto told him that the child was abandoned in the river Styx, but miraculously survived.The divine power of the three gods protects the child's soul from dissipating.But the filth of the soul needs to be buried by the child himself.

Pluto asked him to teach the child the ability to survive.I don't want to be able to become an indomitable hero like Chiron's other disciples in the future, because for this child, it takes great courage just to survive.Therefore, Pluto named him - Seleus (courage).

Chiron agreed to Pluto's request, and Chiron, who was also abandoned, would never ignore this child.He will teach this child all he can learn.

......

Chiron took care of the child carefully, and six years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Chiron swears that this is the most gifted child he has ever taught.Not to mention the precocity of waking consciousness in infancy.The invulnerable and tireless body soaked by the river Styx, coupled with the soul carrying divine power, gave this child infinite possibilities.

Serius, who was just six years old, was able to capture wild boars as tall as a man by himself.Although the process was a bit embarrassing, Seleus was still young and he had a long way to go.

When Seleuth grabbed the boar's teeth and dragged the boar's carcass in front of him, Chiron was too happy with the student's growth and made a serious negligence---he told Seleu who had long wanted to know about the ceremony of sacrificing the gods s.

When Chiron was preparing food, a thunderbolt from the blue woke Chiron up. As a sage of the gods, he instantly understood how serious a mistake he had made—of course, ordinary people can sacrifice to the gods at will. They won't do anything to them.But Seleus was different.

Chiron was still a step late.Because of respect, Seleus first sacrificed to Hades, followed by Hephaestus, and then Hestia. When the sacrifices reached Zeus, four of the twelve main gods had been sacrificed.

Although tribute was offered, Zeus punished the filth that dared to offend him with thunder without harming his life.And because four of the twelve main gods have been sacrificed, the remaining main gods must also be sacrificed, otherwise the main gods will think that they have been underestimated and will impose severe divine punishment.

At this point, the helpless Chiron had no choice but to heal the student injured by the thunder as soon as possible, and try his best to find the favorite things of the gods to alleviate the punishment of the gods on the students who offended the gods as filthy things.

Chiron has tried his best, but he can only watch his youngest student being thrown into the sky by the strong wind from the ocean, stabbed in the eye by the sun, strangled by grapevines, Plague sent down by the moon...

Chiron guarded the students day and night until the students woke up from the torment of the plague.The students who woke up quietly stared at the roof, not knowing what they were thinking.

And Chiron let out a heavy sigh of relief, all this is finally over.

Chapter 4 The Beginning of the Hero Story

Seleus died suddenly in front of a computer in his previous life.

Originally thought that death was like eternal sleep, but Seleus opened his eyes in a dark space.As if illuminated, Seleus could see his hands clearly, but everything but himself remained mysteriously dark and dead.

Serius was terrified, but he dared not stay where he was.So he walked forward tremblingly, hoping that there would be a door leading to a safe place ahead of the unknown.

He walked and walked, but the dead space seemed to be boundless, and Serius could not reach the end. He wondered if he was in a Mobius ring, some unknown but supreme being wanted to take him. Mortals bet for fun.

Seleus tried counting his steps to judge the time, but gave up when he couldn't keep up with the steps.Although his body doesn't get tired for unknown reasons, the mortal mind screams that he is exhausted all the time.

Finally, Seleus couldn't bear to walk endlessly in the dark space anymore, he didn't know where the courage came from, and rushed out from his side with a roar.

Regardless of whether there are unknown beings observing him, he will no longer follow the established direction.Even if it is death, he will try to disgust that existence.Serius thought so.

Soon, Seleus felt he hit something.Before he could react, his consciousness was plunged into darkness.

......

When Seleus opened his eyes again, he was being hugged by a strange thing in a black robe with blue flames burning in its eyes.The instinct from his body made him breathe heavily, but before he could figure out his own condition, a scream from the depths of his soul hit his body fiercely.

Seleus felt every part of him being torn apart by the screeching sound, but what made Seleus most desperate was that he could feel his own existence slowly dissipating.The pain and despair made him want to cry, but his poor health didn't allow him to waste energy where it wasn't necessary.

The toothless Serius tightly closed his lips, he was afraid that once he let out his breath, the severe pain would instantly destroy his will to survive.He wants to live, even if he endures the severe pain that tears his soul all the time, he wants to live.He didn't want to go back to that dark space again.

Seleus was finally rescued, a cold breath swept over his body, Seleus felt his soul stopped dissipating, and the severe pain gradually went away from him.Realizing this, Seleus's tense body immediately spread out in the swaddling clothes.

Forced to open his tired eyelids, Seleus wanted to see what the person who saved him looked like.Gradually, a handsome, serious man's face appeared in the field of vision. Serius thanked silently in his heart, and then fell into a deep sleep.

......

Seleus has been practicing martial arts with Chiron for three years. In the first few years, because he was too young, even if Seleus wanted to learn, Chiron couldn't teach him.When he first started practicing martial arts, Chiron maintained the cautious attitude of teaching young children, and carefully adjusted the training plan according to the development of Seleus. The daily training was mostly to build strength, improve speed, correct the posture of using weapons, and teach strength skills.

Celius' curiosity and longing for martial arts in his previous life prompted him to increase the amount of training tasks every day. Thanks to the body soaked in the Styx River, after the three main gods joined forces to remove the water of the Styx River, it was harmful to the body and the body. After the injury of the soul, as long as the spirit of Seleus can keep up, the body will never be tired.

But what the young Serius didn't expect was that because he didn't know whether Serius, who had no divinity in his body, would have any sequelae after being eroded by the Styx water, when Chiron made the training plan, he regarded himself more as An observer not a teacher.Because before Seleus, no mortal could survive after soaking in the Styx, and Chiron didn't know how much of the positive effect of the Styx water on the body was absorbed by Seleus.

After Chiron figured out that as long as he suppressed his divinity, he would not leave a wound on Seleus, Seleus's good days came to an end.

Chiron was the most skilled archer in all of Greece.Chiron wanted his youngest student to learn how to shoot the arrow himself.

Archery is about "fast, accurate, and ruthless". An excellent archer can quickly find out the position of the target, and complete the actions of drawing the bow, aiming, and shooting arrows while judging the target's trajectory.

A step-by-step training method of drawing bows and arrows, shooting fixed targets, moving targets, and then actual combat may be able to train qualified archers.

But as a teacher, Chiron always wants students to have more superb skills.

When facing a target that is far away from you and moving at high speed, as an archer, how do you lock the position of the target?

And the target in actual combat is different from the target without wisdom. As the target, when you judge his moving trajectory, he is also judging the trajectory of your arrow.How do you counteract this situation?

This is a difficult problem for every archer apprentice, but in terms of how to teach Seleus, Chiron said that he has a very simple but very effective method, only when teaching Seleus.

......

Poor Seleus dragged a huge boulder and ran hard on the plain. Even though sweat would mark every footprint along his body, Seleus did not stop running.

As for the reason why Seleus ran desperately... let us listen to the continuous sound of 'thump, thump, thump'.This is the sound of the bow and arrow hitting Serius but being bounced off the body.

Chiron's method is very simple---since you want to have the eyesight to instantly lock on a super-long-distance, high-speed moving target, and since you want to have the ability to counter the target, the easiest way is to become the target.

When you are facing a good archer, you can instantly judge the trajectory of the arrow and avoid the blockage and attack of the archer based on experience. At this time, you already have the quality of an excellent archer.

Relying on the invulnerability of the students, Chiron used the simplest but most efficient method to train his students.

Running while dragging the boulder can exercise Seleus's speed, strength and endurance at the same time, and it also honed his willpower.The pain of the arrow hitting the body drove Seleus to get the quality of the archer faster.The invulnerability of the body makes up for the biggest drawback of this method.It can be said...

"This is the best method for you, my lovely student."

Standing on the commanding heights, Chiron watched the students constantly changing their moving trajectories in the distance.

"In a world ruled by gods, it is a terrible thing to be regarded as filthy by gods. You are destined to face an unimaginably difficult life. So, grow up quickly! My student."

Chiron took five more arrows from his bow.

Chapter 5 The Warrior's Practice

Serius was in a panic now, even leaning against the thick tree trunk could not give him the slightest sense of security.

Serius lowered his weight slightly, ready to respond to an attack from any direction.He knew that for that attacker, any resistance he had was futile.

On the opposite side is the existence of strength and speed that completely crushes him. As for skills and experience?Are you a fool who thinks that the existence that crushes you with hard power is inferior to yourself in terms of skills and experience?

Seleus was certainly no fool.So he won't naively think that he can rely on skill and wisdom, as well as some auxiliary traps, to resist powerful enemies known for their intelligence.

Sweat slipped down the corners of Seleus' eyes, and although his eyes were irritated, he neither dared to blink nor wiped his hands.The forest was so quiet that even the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind could not be heard. Serius worried that if he closed his eyes, he would reveal his flaws, and the action of wiping his sweat would definitely cause his body to rub against the leaves and make a sound.

The other party was a top-notch hunter, and he had mastered the skill of walking in the forest covered with leaves without making a sound, but this skill was not available to Seleus.

Seleus understood that his ears were not trustworthy now, so he shook his head as lightly as possible, trying to move his eyes to gain vision.

We all know that maintaining a state of full concentration can quickly become mentally exhausting.Maybe there is someone in the world who can concentrate his attention for a long time, but that person will definitely not be the current Serius.

Young Seleus' mind wandered, and he began to recall why he was where he was.

......

'Den'

Another arrow hit Seleus, but the young man couldn't help laughing.Although he was shot with one arrow, he caught the remaining four.In other words, he completed this training.

Seleus fell to the ground in an instant, letting the huge boulder behind him that kept moving forward due to inertia press on him.He was exhausted, and Seleus just wanted a good rest after four months of devil training.

Seeing the student being crushed by the boulder, Chiron couldn't help but pull out Serius, and then put him on his back.

On the way back, Chiron marveled at Seleus's talent.

Seleus was the first to complete this training among the students Chiron taught.Among so many heroes, none of them became famous with bows and arrows. This has always been a disappointment for Chiron.

Looking at Seleus who was snoring on his back, Chiron knew that his bow and arrow would one day help him achieve great deeds that amazed the world.

’ But before that, the little guy still has a lot to learn. '

Thinking of this, Chiron made a new training plan for Seleus in his heart.

'The next thing to do is close combat training. '

Chiron thought in his heart.

'An excellent archer must have good enough fighting skills to protect himself, otherwise, once the enemy gets close, what's the use of super god archery skills. '

Veteran archer Chiron has his own understanding of the phrase 'you can output only if you live'.And after four months of observation, Chiron had a bold idea on how to teach Seleus.

"Survival confrontation?"

The next day, Seleus, who thought he would have archery training next, was taken by Chiron to a forest where the trees were dense enough to block the sun.
