Chapter 2021 Hercules (Big chapter, please give me double the monthly votes!!!!)

What Zeus did was simply too counterintuitive, and that's a problem.

Moreover, it was too easy for them to escape. The Pantheon was a pile of shit, sure, but it was also a pile of shit that had existed for more than 10,000 years. If it hit someone in the face, it would still make their face full of bruises. It would be easy to get killed if you were not careful.

The results of it?

They ran out smoothly.

It was unbelievably smooth, except for those gods who were not good at fighting, such as Thoth and Aphrodite, who were very weak. But the problem was that many other gods were also very good at fighting!

The most typical example is Hercules!

Anyone who watched cartoons when they were young knows that this guy is very fierce! Hercules is the greatest hero in ancient Greek mythology. He is the son of the main god Zeus and Alcmene. He was hated by Zeus' wife Hera because of his origin. He was extremely brave and powerful. Later, he completed 12 tasks that were known as "impossible to complete". In addition, he rescued the bound Prometheus, hid his identity and joined Jason's heroic adventure team and assisted him in obtaining the Golden Fleece. Hercules was wise, but was eventually misunderstood by his second wife, who smeared poison on his clothes. He burned himself to death because of the unbearable pain. After his death, he ascended to the holy mountain of Olympus and became Hercules. He punished evil and promoted good and dared to fight. In today's Western world, the word Hercules has become synonymous with strongman and strongman.

How powerful is Hercules?

This incident started after the War of Typhon. After the War of Typhon, the giants rebelled again. Uranus was castrated by Kronos, and his penis was thrown out. It flew in the sky for a long time, and the blood dripped down and gave birth to the giants on the earth. Because the blood came from Uranus and the land was Gaia's body, it is generally believed that the giants are also the descendants of Uranus and Gaia. In this giant uprising, Gaia was still the one who supported them behind the scenes.

In various mythological books, giants are extremely tall and powerful. Later generations often confuse them with Titans. For example, in the game series "Heroes of Might and Magic", giants become Titans after upgrading. In fact, the two are not the same thing. If Titans are gods, giants are at most monsters. The appearance of giants is a human body with a snake tail, which is somewhat similar to Typhon. These are the characteristics of Gaia's son. Their weapons are rocks and burning oaks. They shoot these things at Olympus like missiles, and the momentum is quite amazing. The giants have another very powerful attribute, that is, they are immune to divine attacks. The gods cannot kill them completely. Among them, Porphyrion and Alcyoneus are even less likely to die as long as they do not leave the place where they were born.

During the war, the gods received a prophecy that they could only kill the giants with the help of a mortal. However, ordinary mortals were definitely not up to the task, so Zeus summoned the greatest hero in the mortal world, his son Hercules, to join the war through Athena. When Gaia learned about this, she wanted to find a herb to add a new attribute to the giants, making them immune to ordinary attacks, so that mortals could not kill them. If Gaia succeeded, the giants would be fully immune to magic and physical attacks, and they would be invincible when fighting bosses, and the history of the gods would definitely be rewritten.

However, Zeus' intelligence system was not to be underestimated. He immediately banned Eos, the god of dawn, Selene, the goddess of the moon, and Helios, the god of the sun, from appearing. The world became dark, and Zeus secretly took the medicine first. When Hercules arrived, the gods and giants were fighting fiercely. Hercules shot an arrow and shot down Alcyoneus, one of the strongest giants. However, Alcyoneus woke up immediately after falling to the ground. It turned out that the battlefield was where he was born - Pallene. As long as he was here, he would not die. At the reminder of Athena, Hercules dragged the injured giant out of Pallene, and Alcyoneus died. Another of the most powerful giants, Porphyrion, rushed towards Hera and Hercules again. At this time, Zeus came up with a trick. He did not hesitate to sell out Hera's color, which aroused Porphyrion's lust, turning his anger into lust, and he immediately rushed towards Hera. Just when Porphyrion tore Hera's clothes and was about to rape her, Hera cried out for help, and Zeus intervened at the right time. The giant was probably obsessed with sex and had long forgotten to guard against hidden arrows, so he was easily knocked down by Zeus's thunderbolt, and Hercules followed up with an arrow to kill him. As the old saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. In front of a powerful enemy, Zeus did not hesitate to sell his wife's body, which is really a strong man.

The two strongest giants fell, and the morale of the gods immediately soared, and their fighting power rose sharply. The giant Ephialtos was hit by two arrows in an instant, one shot by Apollo in the left eye, and one shot by Hercules in the right eye. Dionysus killed Eurytus with a pine cone stick. Hecate burned Clytius to death with a torch. Then Hephaestus threw a red-hot iron block to kill Mimas. The giants died one after another, and the remaining ones were also shaken and began to flee. However, how could the gods let them escape? Athena played big and actually carried an entire island - Sichelia Island to hit one; Poseidon chased a giant across the sea to Kos Island. Seeing that the giant ran very fast, Poseidon broke off a piece of the island and smashed the giant to death. Later, this place formed the island of Nisyrron. In the melee, Hermes, Artemis, and the goddesses of fate also killed the enemy and made contributions. The remaining giants were knocked down one by one by Zeus' thunderbolt, and Hercules shot them all to death with arrows.

The Battle of the Giants ended with a complete victory for the Olympian gods. In this battle, the biggest winner was undoubtedly Zeus, who further consolidated his authority, demonstrated the fighting power of the Olympian gods, and found a reason to promote one of his confidants - Hercules won the honor among the gods because of this battle, so he was qualified to be deified and enter Olympus. In modern language, Zeus established his authority, trained his team, and trained young cadres through this battle, which can be said to be a three-pronged victory.

After the battle, the gods praised Hercules for his great achievements. Zeus called the gods who participated in the battle Olympians, which is a title for brave people. The two sons born to mortal women by Zeus, Dionysus and Hercules, also received this glorious title.

Hercules' fighting ability is unquestionable.

It is no exaggeration to say that this guy is the strongest fighter in Olympus.

Of course, Kai didn't know Hercules. After all, when Kai traveled to ancient Greece, Hercules had already become Hercules, and it seemed that this guy was very lonely and didn't interact much with gods.

He's not even close to his own father.

After all, who would want their life to become a playground for other people to fight with each other?

Hercules is actually very pitiful. Since he was born, he has been passively controlled by Zeus and Hera.

Hercules' birth was full of disgrace. An unknown time ago, King Electryon ruled the city-state of Mycenae. He was the son of the hero Perseus and Andalomeda, that is, he was the grandson of Zeus. Once, the Teleboeans, led by the sons of King Pterelaos of Mycenae's neighboring country, came to Mycenae and claimed that they also had the right to inherit Mycenae because their ancestors were also descendants of Perseus. Electryon rudely rejected their request, so they robbed Electryon's cattle, and Electryon's son was killed in the process of fighting for the cattle. The grieving King Electryon announced that whoever could take back the cattle would marry his famous daughter Alcmene. At this time, the hero Amphitryon came to Mycenae, and he took back the cattle from King Polyxenus of Elis, and was qualified to marry Alcmene. Unexpectedly, during the wedding banquet, Amphitryon had an argument with Electryon and accidentally killed Electryon. Amphitryon had no choice but to take Alcmene away to Thebes and seek refuge with Creon, the king of Thebes.

After arriving in Thebes, Alcmene demanded that Amphitryon must avenge his brother on the Teleboeans, so Amphitryon led the Theban army to fight. During his expedition, an unexpected accident happened. Zeus took a fancy to Alcmene and took advantage of Amphitryon's absence to disguise himself as Alcmene and deceived Alcmene.

When Alcmene was about to give birth to the two children, Zeus was extremely happy about the birth of his children. He announced to the gods that his child, a greatest hero, was about to be born, who would rule over all his relatives, that is, the descendants of Perseus.

Zeus's wife, Hera, was extremely jealous and angry about Zeus' affair with Alcmene. She was determined to disrupt Zeus's arrangement. She deceived Zeus and asked Zeus to change his oath to that the first baby born in Perseus' family today would rule all his relatives. After Zeus made the oath, Hera rushed to Argos and prompted the wife of Perseus' son Stheneros to give birth early, so Eurystheus was born before Hercules. When Zeus saw through Hera's conspiracy, it was too late. Even if the king of the gods had supreme power, he could not violate his oath. Hercules would be ruled by Eurystheus. But Zeus did not give up. He made an agreement with Hera again. As long as Hercules could complete the tasks assigned by Eurystheus and achieve twelve great achievements, he could get rid of Eurystheus' rule and become a god forever. Hera, who had deceived Zeus, did not dare to anger the king of gods again, so she agreed.

After renewing the agreement with Zeus, Hera did not dare to confront Zeus on the surface, but she still could not let go of the fact that Zeus had a child with his lover. After Hercules was born, Amphitryon and Alcmene abandoned Hercules in the wilderness because of their fear of Hera, the Queen of Heaven.

Hera and Athena happened to pass by this place and found the abandoned Hercules. Hera loved this cute little guy very much and didn't know that this was the child of her rival. At the instigation of Athena, she fed him with her own milk. Hercules might be too hungry to bear it. When he sucked the milk, he hurt Hera. Hera pushed him away in a hurry, and the spilled milk became the Milky Way in the sky. After that, Athena took Hercules back to the palace. By mistake, he returned to his mother Alcmene. After learning that she had accidentally helped the child of her rival, she was very unwilling. She sent two poisonous snakes into the palace where Alcmene lived. Everyone in the palace was in a panic. Amphitryon heard the noise and hurried over. Just when he thought he was going to see a tragedy, an incredible scene appeared in front of him. The poisonous snake struggled in the hands of a newborn baby, and Hercules was unharmed.

Later, Hercules killed his teacher. After committing a crime, Hercules was summoned to court. Because Linus attacked first, Hercules' behavior was judged to be self-defense and not guilty. However, his adoptive father Amphitryon was worried that Hercules would commit such a thing again, so he asked him to go to Mount Cithaeron to graze. After being exiled to Mount Cithaeron by Amphitryon, Hercules gradually grew up here and showed extraordinary bravery. On Mount Cithaeron, he encountered a ferocious giant lion, but he was easily killed. Then he used lion skin as armor and lion head as helmet, and also harvested various equipment given to him by the gods. After Hercules came of age, he helped Thebes resist the country of Orchomenus, which levied a large amount of tribute on Thebes every year. Hercules defeated the army of this country and levied twice as much tribute from them as before. To express his gratitude to Hercules, King Creon of Thebes married him his daughter Megara, who later gave birth to three children for Hercules.

But seeing Hercules' happy life, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, could not sit still anymore. She made Hercules go crazy again, and in his madness, Hercules accidentally killed his own child. After waking up, facing this reality, Hercules was filled with endless grief, but no matter how brave and powerful he was, his child could never be resurrected.

Hercules, who was in a state of confusion, went to ask Apollo for the oracle. Apollo gave him instructions that as long as he could work for Eurystheus and complete twelve great feats, he could become a god and stay away from all the sufferings in the world. So Hercules embarked on the long journey back to his hometown of Tiryns...

That is the famous Twelve Merits, also known as the Twelve Trials.

Hercules thought that this way he could get rid of his guilt.

As a result, due to the gods' scheme, Hercules died miserably! He died miserably. He originally thought that death was a relief, but what happened? Zeus resurrected him and made him a god... No one asked Hercules whether he was willing or not...

However, I have heard Hera and Athena talk about this Hercules. Although this Hercules has a somewhat eccentric personality, his strength is absolutely beyond doubt. After all, when he was still a mortal, he did a lot of things that even the gods seemed very cool.

For example, the golden apple.

Hercules' eleventh task was to obtain the golden apples. Hercules was ordered by Eurystheus to take the golden apples of the Hesperides. Long ago, when Zeus married Hera, all the gods gave them gifts. Gaia, goddess of the earth, was no exception and brought a large tree with lush branches and leaves from the west coast, which was full of golden apples. The four daughters of the night god, named Hesperides, were assigned to guard the sacred garden where the tree was planted. Helping them was Ladon, a giant dragon with a hundred heads born to Phorcys, the father of all monsters, and Ceto, the daughter of the earth. He never slept. When he moved, he always made a deafening noise along the way, because his hundred mouths made a hundred different sounds. Hercules was ordered by Eurystheus to take the golden apples of the Hesperides from the dragon. Hercules set out on a long and dangerous journey. He wandered aimlessly, and wherever he went, he did it by chance and luck, for he did not know where the Hesperides lived. He first came to Thessaly, where the giant Thermeros lived. He had a hard head, and he would chase down any traveler he saw and gore him to death with his head.

But this time his head hit Hercules' head and was smashed to pieces. Hercules continued on his journey and came to the Ehiduros River, where he met a monster, Cycnos, the son of Ares and Polyne.

Hercules did not know his true background, so he asked him where the sacred garden of the Hesperides was. He did not answer, but challenged Hercules, and was killed on the spot by Hercules. At this time, the god of war Ares hurried over to avenge his dead son. Hercules had to fight. But Zeus did not want to see either of them bleed, because they were both his sons. He separated them with a thunderbolt. Hercules continued to move forward, passed through Illyria, crossed the Elidanus River, and came to a group of mountain and water nymphs. They were the daughters of Zeus and Themis, and lived on both sides of the Elidanus River. Hercules asked them for directions. "Go find the old river god Nereus," the goddesses replied, "He is a prophet and knows everything. You should attack him while he is sleeping, tie him up, and then he will tell you the truth."

Although the river god was powerful and could change into any form, Hercules subdued him according to the goddess's advice. He did not release him until he found out where to find the golden apples of the Hesperides. Later, he traveled through Libya and Egypt. The king who ruled there was Busires, the son of Poseidon and Lysianassa. After nine consecutive years of drought, a prophet in Cyprus announced a cruel oracle: only by sacrificing a foreigner to Zeus every year would the land become fertile. In gratitude for his oracle, King Busires killed him as the first sacrifice. Later, the barbaric king became so interested in this cruel annual sacrifice that all foreigners who came to Egypt were killed. Hercules was also captured and tied up and brought to the altar dedicated to Zeus. Hercules broke free from the ropes and killed King Busires, his son and the priests.

Hercules continued on his way, encountering many dangers along the way. He released the bound Prometheus on Mount Caucasus, and followed the direction indicated by the freed Titan to the place where Atlas carried the sky. Nearby was the sacred garden where the Hesperides guarded the golden apples. Prometheus suggested that Hercules should not pick the golden apples himself, but it would be better to send Atlas to complete this task. Hercules thought it was right, so he agreed to carry the sky himself during the time Atlas was away. Atlas handed the burden of the sky to Hercules, and then walked towards the sacred garden. He tried to lure the dragon into a deep sleep (he first picked a few colorful stars from the sky, threw them into the air and made them collide with each other, making beautiful music. The dragon's hundred heads gradually became tired, closed their eyes and fell asleep one after another), then killed it with a knife, deceived the fairies guarding it, picked three golden apples, and happily returned to Hercules.

"But," he said to Hercules, "my shoulders have had enough of carrying the sky, and I am no longer willing to carry it." He threw the golden apples on the grass at Hercules' feet, leaving him standing there with the heavy sky on his shoulders. Hercules thought of a way to get rid of the heavy burden on his shoulders. "Hey, I want a cushion to rest my head on," he said to Atlas, "otherwise, this burden is going to burst my head."

Atlas thought this was a reasonable request, so he agreed to carry the load for him for a while. He took the load, but if he had waited for Hercules to take over, he would have had to wait for a long time, because Hercules had already picked up the golden apples from the grass and walked away quickly. Hercules brought the golden apples to King Eurystheus. The king was disappointed that Hercules came back alive this time, as he had hoped that he would die while trying to pick the golden apples. In fact, he did not like the golden apples, so he gave them to Hercules. He placed them on the altar of Athena. The goddess then returned the sacred fruits to their original place and asked the Hesperides to continue to look after them.

Basically, along the way, I would kill any god or Buddha that stood in my way.

Absolutely ruthless!

But from beginning to end, Hercules did not show up, not to mention Hercules, even the other gods in charge of fighting in the Pantheon did not show up. They were just allowed to escape like this for fun!

There is definitely something wrong with this.
