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

Chapter 94 An Unacceptable Future

"I'm...back to Hades?"

Feeling the decayed atmosphere in the air engraved deep in his memory, and the endless river of Styx behind him, Seleus asked such a question.

"I guess Lord Hades wants to see me?" Seleus scratched his head. The Underworld is obviously a place of death that ordinary people fear, but Seleus feels very kind.Because for Seleus, who was born in Hades, returning to Hades is like returning home.

"Since Mr. Hades wants to see me, I'll go there quickly. Don't make Mr. Hades wait any longer." Seleus opened his legs and walked towards the gate of Hades in his memory.

......

"Is the Cerberus I saw so scary when I was young?" Seleus looked at the behemoth in front of him with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Cerberus, the guardian of the gate of Hades, has a folk image as a giant dog with three heads, so it is generally called the "three-headed dog of hell".

But what kind of image did Cerberus appear in front of Seleus? More than 50 heads are densely packed on the same body. The huge body can block the gate of the underworld tightly behind it. More than 50 pairs of scarlet eyes stare straight at all the living or dead people who come to the underworld. soul...

"How can I pass through the gate of the underworld under this guy's guard?" Seleus was in a difficult situation. He didn't want to do anything in the underworld if he could, not to mention that Cerberus still obeyed Lord Hades' orders. "I don't carry candied fruit and cookies and the like, and I don't know how to play the piano at all."

"Why don't you just go up and have a discussion with him? Anyway, sooner or later, I'm a colleague. I was brought here directly by Lord Hades this time. It shouldn't stop me from going to Hades, right?" Seleus, who had no other way to pass through the gate of Hades besides subduing Cerberus, had to choose to reason with the guard of the gate of Hades.

But to Serius' surprise, when he stepped forward to cultivate a relationship with his future colleagues in advance, Cerberus suddenly glanced at him with more than 50 pairs of eyes, and after watching this, Cerberus' huge body that was originally blocking the gate moved aside, and more than 50 heads lowered towards him at the same time.

"Just let me pass? Or is it that Lord Hades has already greeted me in advance? But why did you bow to me? It is because Lord Hades has already prepared for my future position, and the official position is better than it. Is it big..." The scene in front of him caused Serius a lot of doubts, but no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing to be able to pass through the gate of Hades without doing anything, and the most important thing now is to see Hardy quickly Sir.

"Sure enough, no matter where you are, it's always more convenient to have connections at the top." With this in mind, Seleus crossed Cerberus and walked into the gate of Hades.

As soon as he stepped into the underworld, a gust of cold and strange wind rushed towards Seleus. Seleus subconsciously blocked himself with his hands, but found that after being blown by the wind, he felt a kind of pain all over his body. It felt particularly refreshing, as if the entire Underworld was welcoming his arrival.

Serius felt a little strange, but he simply attributed this phenomenon to the fact that he was born in the underworld, and didn't take it to heart.

"I feel that the standard of reception is a bit high! Could it be that Lord Hades is going to hold a banquet in Hades suddenly and invite all the gods to attend?" Seleus looked curiously at the countless people standing in front of him bowing their heads towards the door. Salute to the dead.

But what surprised Seleus was that the dead souls who thought they were coming to greet the gods all came to him after bowing their heads, and then surrounded him to the depths of Hades.

"Are there no gods? Just me?" Seleus asked the dead souls around him, but the dead souls he asked did not answer his question at all, but silently saluted him again.

"I'm beginning to feel that things are a bit weird." Serius became suspicious of the current situation, and he felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined at first.But this is Hades after all, as long as Lord Hades is around, Serius will never believe that he will be in danger here.

In this way, Seleus, surrounded by the souls of the dead, soon came to a gloomy palace. The closed door was slowly opened with the sound of black air and creaks after Seleus arrived. Open.

"Da da da!"

A burst of rhythmic footsteps came from the opened palace.Hearing the footsteps, Seleus was convinced that the one who was about to come out must be the most stable Pluto, that is, Lord Hades.Sure enough, the surrounding dead souls knelt down in unison after hearing the footsteps, which further confirmed Serius' guess, so he also knelt down along with the dead souls.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

The sound of footsteps continued until Seleus, who was kneeling, saw the familiar black robe. Without thinking about Lord Hades' behavior different from the past, Seleus honestly chanted his words to Hardy. His compliments.

"Death is the end of all things, Lord Hades, who is always just, thank you for bringing the dead a peaceful, dreamless sleep..." The hymn had already been sung, but Lord Hades remained silent Stand in front of Seleus.The strange feeling in Seleus' heart was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but looked up.

It was this look that made Seleus feel struck by lightning. He held his head in pain, unable to accept what he saw at all.

What did Seleus see?Although the complexion has become extremely pale, although the body has shrunk to be no different from ordinary people, although the eyes are numb and the expression is indifferent, even though the body is covered with a black robe full of divinity...Despite so many differences, the long fiery red hair is still And the face that can be seen by the river every day is clearly telling Seleus one thing-the Pluto who rules the countless souls of the underworld in front of him is Seleus himself! ! !

......

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Serius gasped heavily after waking up from the nightmare.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Atalanta in Serius' arms was woken up by Serius' large movements.The huntress first rubbed her eyes sleepily, and then noticed that her big man, who was not afraid of anything that day, was covered in cold sweat. She hurriedly stroked Serius' face, and at the same time asked worriedly.

"I seem to have had a very terrible nightmare..."

Chapter 95 Hope

"I seem to have had a terrible nightmare." Seeing Atalanta in his arms annotating himself with worried eyes, Serius said slowly.

"Is it really just a nightmare?" Atalanta carefully wiped the sweat from Seleus' forehead, and after seeing the panic and pain remaining in Seleus' eyes, the huntress stretched out her hands and hugged him distressedly. She's big.

"It's...a nightmare, right?" Seleus didn't know how to tell Atalanta. How could he, who had the blessing of Prometheus' foresight, have such a nightmare with such obvious omens for no reason?Or, how could such a dream be just a simple nightmare?

Seleus didn't want to lie to Atalanta, but what he was about to face was the disaster that even Hades, the king of Hades, would fall, and he had to stop that terrible future.But what reason could he use to tell Atalanta, who didn't want to lie, so that his lover wouldn't worry about him?

Therefore, facing Atalante's inquiry, Seleus could only give an ambiguous answer.

"It's not like you at all." Atalanta lightly rubbed Seleus' cheek. This clever huntress quickly saw from her lover's different behavior that Seleus had something to offer. What is hiding from her.

'What's the matter? ' The beautiful huntress guessed in her heart.

In Atalanta's heart, Seleus has always been a great hero with unparalleled courage, force and nobility, but it can make such him show panic and pain, and he hesitates to tell her the truth It must be something that I can't let myself participate in, it must be very dangerous.

This cute idiot is afraid that telling the truth will make him worry, and he doesn't want to lie to himself.But he never thought that his performance that was different from the past had already clearly exposed his thoughts in front of his eyes.

'Are you afraid that I will worry about you who are about to face danger? ' Atalanta stared at her lover obsessively, and kept stroking Serius' cheek with her hands. 'Then what you are hiding from me must be a disaster that even you, who are so powerful, cannot guarantee your own safety. '

'My love!You can tell me the truth, as long as you are determined to make a decision, I will definitely not refute it, let alone make a willful request to go with you. '

'I know very well that in the face of a disaster that even you cannot guarantee your own safety, I will only become your burden by following you.So my love, please do what you should do with peace of mind. '

'I will be here quietly waiting, blessing, and praying for the safe return of my lover.If the sad news reaches my ears along with the sad wind, my love, I will accompany you to the deepest part of Hades...'

'Even death can't change Atalanta's heart that loves you. '

"Ata, I want to leave for a while to do something." I really can't think of any reason, but the subconscious told Seleus that the situation is very urgent and there is no time to waste, so Seleus had no choice but to bite the bullet Opened the mouth to Atalanta.

"Go." The huntress replied softly.

"I know it's not good for me to leave you to attend to my own affairs just after we established a relationship, and I also know not to explain to you... Wait? You agreed?" Contrary to Serius' expectations, Atalan Intuit agreed so simply.

"Why don't I agree?" Atalanta looked into Serius' eyes.

"I know you, my big man. It must be very important that a hero like you has to leave his lover and do it." The huntress reached out and poked Seleus' cheek. "So, do what you should do, do what you must do as a hero. I will always pray for you here, and pray that you can return to me safely..."

......

After leaving Atalanta, Seleus has been working hard towards the place marked by his subconscious mind, but it is a pity that even though he was blessed by the Titan brothers at the same time using the law, he has the ability to confront the gods head-on without calculating power The strength, but after all, he is not a god, he can't rush to the battlefield where Hades is in time.

"Even if you know that you are likely to die there, are you determined to participate in the great war?" A familiar voice came to Seleus' ears, and Prometheus, the Illuminati, held a black box in his hand, quietly Silently appeared behind him.

"Great Illuminati, please send me to the battlefield where Lord Hades is, I'm going to help him!" Seleus had a surprised smile on his face, knowing that he could not catch up with Hades anyway. He rushed to the battlefield before Diss fell, and he hurriedly asked the Illuminati.

"You who also have 'foresight' should know that even if I send you there to avoid Hades being cut off by Kronos for saving the Cyclops, you will also become a thorn in Kronos' side and be killed by him. Crazy attack, there is a high probability that Hades will die for saving you in the end." Prometheus changed from his usual kindness, and he tore apart the things that Serius had been unwilling to think about with a serious tone. fact.

"But a chosen fate is better than a certain death." Seleus clenched his fists. Although he was very unwilling, he understood that what Prometheus said was indeed true. "I will never forgive myself if I ignore Lord Hades' death if I don't fight hard."

Seleus thought of the self who became the king of Hades in the nightmare. Although it showed that he ruled countless souls and was majestic, his indifferent expression and numb eyes all told Seleus that that future self would always be in the grip of confrontation. Master Hades couldn't extricate himself from the self-blame of his death, and lived forever in the torture of himself.

"I guessed that you would say that, so I bring you this thing." Prometheus suddenly showed a kind smile after hearing Sirius' answer, and then stretched out his hand and handed the black box to Some doubts to Celius.

"Is there anything in this box that can help me deal with Cronus?" Serius asked with some doubts after receiving the box from Prometheus.

"Cronus is the king of the Titans and the god of creation and destruction. However, after being imprisoned by Zeus in the abyss of Tartarus for so many years, the creative side of him has long since disappeared. Now Cronus is just A monster that will bring endless despair and destruction to the world." Prometheus slowly explained to Seleus. "In the face of such a monster, you need hope to overcome the despair he brings to you."

"So, what is contained in this box is..." Serius looked at the box in his hand in disbelief.

"It is the eternally beautiful hope that human beings always keep in their hearts no matter what kind of suffering and setbacks they encounter..."

Chapter 96 The Power of 'Hope'

The crimson light hit Kronos's right hand waving the sickle first, and the obsidian-like arm of the Titan King was directly pierced by the light.The great pain hit Kronos' brain, and he couldn't help but stop swinging the sickle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Kronos' pause, Hades quickly took Gagares out of Kronos' attack range.After arriving at a safe location, Hades first casually threw Gagrace aside, and then looked at the direction of the light with a complicated expression.

Although the colors were different, the destructive power contained in that light could not fool everyone present.There are only three people or gods who possess the power of destruction in the world, and two of them have already appeared here, so do you have to guess who is emitting the light?

Although he escaped from birth, there was no joy on Hades' face.Wasn't he risking his life to save the Cyclops, who possessed the power of destruction, so that his adopted son would not face the destroying Titan Cronus, thus threatening his life?As a result, the child Seleus took the initiative to participate in the war in order to save himself, which made Hades happy.

But the matter has come to this, Hades, who is very clear about the character of his adopted son, knows that it is too late to say anything now, and Serius, who has just rescued himself from Cronus, will definitely not look at him casually. North and he hid in a safe place by himself.

"Ah——" Hades sighed, and he pushed his helmet again to hide his figure.What has happened cannot be undone, and Hades can only do his best to protect the life of his adopted son in the next battle.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Kronos roared in disbelief after being attacked, but the reason for the roar was definitely not because of his own injuries.Although the arm was pierced and brought him great pain, but for the immortal gods, these injuries can be recovered within one breath.

Even if the destructive power that invades the body is more troublesome, Kronos, who is the god of destruction and also has the priesthood of creation, has a way to remove these powers from the body.What really made the King of Titans unbelievable was why he, the God of Destruction, could be hurt by just a little destructive power brought by his own blood.

"Mortal! How did you do it!" Kronos widened his eyes, staring at the red-haired hero who came from a distance with his eyes full of anger. "It's just a little power of destruction stolen from my heir, why can it hurt me, the god of destruction?"

'why? 'Celius, who came to the gate, looked up coldly at Cronus who almost killed Lord Hades. He had already taken off the blindfold on his left eye, revealing a Mystical eyes with crimson flames.

......

"What do I need to do to use this 'hope' to save Lord Hades and re-seal Cronus, the destroying Titan?" Looking at the light and shameless box in his hand, Seleus' voice was a little excited. Asked Prometheus beside him.

"Compared to wasting time here asking me, wouldn't your 'foresight' let you understand its usage faster and in more detail?" Prometheus calmly reminded him that he was a little bit happy because he got the 'hope' Trembling Seleus. "And no matter what, since 'hope' is contained in a box, no matter how you want to use it, the first step can only be to open the box."

"That's right, I was too anxious." Hearing Prometheus' reminder, Seleus took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement because he knew the way to change that unacceptable future. Then, following the hints given by his subconscious mind, he slowly opened the box of hope in his hand.

However, unlike what Seleus had expected, after the box was opened, the "hope" inside did not emit divine light or other visions that could show its magical side. What appeared in Seleus' eyes was just a A small flame that looked like it might go out at any moment.

"Is this 'hope'?" Seleus asked with some doubts about Prometheus who was still calm beside him.Although this venerable elder, and the subconscious mind in his own mind, have been telling about the magical power of "hope", seeing the "hope" that he has high hopes for is just a small flame that looks ordinary , Seleus still had no confidence in his heart. "This looks a bit..."

"Don't underestimate this 'hope'." How could Prometheus fail to hear Seleus' suspicion. "When this box was opened for the first time, I, who was still locked on the Caucasus Mountain, saw with my own eyes that the dark clouds of plague, hunger, war, greed and other crimes almost covered the whole world in an instant. Even Zeus The thunder that comes down from anger is not as powerful as those evil events."

"However, even if it is so powerful, what about such terrifying power? Wars will be quelled by heroes, hunger will be dispelled by sages, and plagues will be wiped out by people... And this little flame, But it will always accompany human civilization until the end of the world."

"Now, Seleus. Follow the instructions in your head..." Prometheus' voice remained calm. "Take this 'hope' and seal the God of Destruction back into the abyss."

"I will!" Seleus pulled down the blindfold, revealing the purple-black left eye full of destructive force.With one hand, he gently picked up the "hope" flame from the box, and then slowly extended it to his left eye.

'Hope' penetrated into Seleus's left eye in an instant, and he could feel that all the power in his body was driven by 'hope' to undergo wonderful changes—because of the multiple consciousnesses produced by the blessings of the Titan brothers All merged together to form a brand new consciousness independent of the brain; the six divine powers were entangled together and no longer separated from each other, making the magic power of Seleus itself have all the properties of the six divine powers at the same time; destroyed The left eye infected by divine power also turned crimson again. Only the crimson flames floating around can prove the magic of this eye...

"This feeling!" Feeling the surging power in his body that was completely his own, Seleus smiled excitedly. "I can definitely change that future now."

"You still have to be careful, child." Prometheus also smiled, but as an elder, he still felt that he had to remind this child he was very optimistic about. "The great power of 'hope' lies in the fact that it can trigger miracles to a certain extent. But you have to be clear, it is not the miracle itself."

"I understand, the great Illuminati." Seleus withdrew his smile, and his face became very serious. "Now, can you please send me there? Lord Hades is about to be in danger."

"No problem, my child..."

Chapter 97 Here Comes Your Opportunity

"Perhaps after being locked in the abyss of Tartarus for so many years, the great Titan King, apart from being a Titan in appearance, has already degenerated into a tall, flesh-and-blood human being in essence?" Seleus mocked Cronus, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

"As you said, I just stole a little bit of God of Destruction power from your door-opening tool. How could it possibly injure the body of the great God of Destruction Titan?" Seleus gestured with his two fingers one time. "So you must have degenerated into a human being inside, right? You must know that the divine power of destruction I obtained is not even enough to dye my left eye purple-black."

Seleus wanted to taunt Cronus with words and make him lose his mind.Because Seleus's consciousness fused together by "hope", which he called "the great sage", told Seleus that Cronus had a trump card that could fight against all the gods of Olympus.

This hole card can only be used once, and the price is too serious for Cronus.Therefore, during the battle of the Titans, Cronus would rather take the risk of being imprisoned in the abyss of Tartarus, and then wait for the "destiny" given to Zeus by his father Uranus to run out before starting the prepared retreat **Come on, I don't want to fight with Zeus who has the blessing of destiny.

But this time, Kronos, who has no way out, will definitely use that hole card without hesitation when he encounters a critical situation.So Celius has been taunting Kronos, as long as Kronos loses his mind because of anger, then he and the three gods have a chance to beat Kronos directly into the abyss before he can react.

"Damn it! You let the great king of Titans, Cronus, who is in charge of creation and destruction, be compared with reptiles!" As Seleus expected, it was insulting to compare himself with Zeus As far as Cronus is concerned, Seleus, who compared him to humans, undoubtedly slapped him hard in the face, and even spit after the slap.

Kronos' anger dyed his purple-black eyes blood red. Regardless of the unhealed injury he suffered from the full blow of Zeus and Poseidon just now, he raised his sickle and slashed at Serius. Chop down hard.

Facing the scythe that seemed to be able to cut open space, Serius did not dodge. He looked up and stared at Cronus' left hand holding the door, and the power of destruction began to gather in his left eye.There was no need to dodge Cronus' blow, because the 'Great Sage' had already told Seleus that the scythe of destruction couldn't reach him at all.

"Boom"

A huge thunderbolt fell from the sky, and it struck Kronos' head heavily.

"Humph----!"

Cronus snorted, he was staggered by Zeus's thunderbolt, and his upper body that was about to stretch out was struck back by Zeus again, and the sickle he swung at Serius also missed because of this thunderbolt.

"Old guy! Did you forget about me!" Above the dark clouds, Zeus, holding the thunder scepter high, stared coldly at Cronus who dared to ignore him in the death fight.

"Damn it!!!!" Cronus let out a roar that shook the sky and the earth. The cooperation between Zeus and Seleus seemed to the proud Cronus to be playing tricks on him. He couldn't accept such a thing at all. Embarrassed myself.However, Zeus' blow also woke up Cronus, who was about to be swallowed by anger and rationality. He knew that in the face of the current situation, he could only escape from the joint attack of Zeus and the others only if he remained calm enough.

Suddenly, Kronos sensed a destructive force coming towards him, and the bastard who stole his divine power wanted to attack his left hand.He hurriedly used the destruction ray to blast the past, and faced Zeus's next attack, he just hurriedly blocked the scythe of destruction in front of him.

As soon as the crimson and purple-black light came into contact, Serius realized something was wrong.As Prometheus reminded before leaving, "hope" only gives mortals the power to trigger miracles to a certain extent, but it is not the miracle itself.

Although Cronus just used the light to blast against the charged light of Seleus in a hurry, but the absolute difference in power made Cronus's purple-black light quickly push towards Seleus, And in the case of this kind of bombarding light, if there is no external help, Seleuth can't dodge at all, because once the light from Seleus' side stops, then the light from Cronus will definitely bombard Seleuth in an instant. On S...

However, this is only the result without the interference of external forces.

Seeing that the light of Cronus was getting closer and closer to Seleus, the figure of Hades suddenly appeared beside Seleus, Pluto first used his divine power to help Seleus resist the light of Cronus, and then Kicked Serius out of Kronos' attack range with one kick.

"Humph!"

Hades snorted coldly at Seleus who got up, and then urged his helmet to disappear again.

Clutching the painful part of himself kicked by Hades, Seleus always felt that Lord Hades' kick contained a lot of anger.But now that he was in the midst of a deathmatch, Seleus didn't have the time to think about such issues.

After realizing that his destruction ray was simply looking for death against the defensive Cronus, Seleus picked up his battle ax and planned to use Bo Under the cover of Seidon's storm, he looked for a chance to hit Cronus' left hand a few times.

"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless!!!" After losing the interference of Seleus, Cronus easily cut off all the thunderbolts that Zeus attacked him with his sickle, and used the destruction ray from time to time Fight back against Zeus.As for Poseidon on the side, his attack was useless to Cronus, who had the priesthood of creation, and the Titan King didn't even want to defend against Poseidon's attack.
