Chapter 559: The Wrath of Hercules
"Die!"
Pei Ziyun's spear opened the spear of a Greek ten-captain in front of him, piercing through his chest, and blood flowed down the shaft of the spear in his heart.
Then, Pei Ziyun turned like a swift wind, and with a spear, he stabbed into the throat of the Greek who pounced on him, pulling out a cloud of blood mist, leaving a deep hole.
"Prince Paris, be careful!" shouted the slave behind him.
The two Greeks shouted, the spears stabbed forward and backward, Pei Ziyun turned around and smashed with the spear, and the powerful force immediately shook the spear away, and then stabbed and killed immediately.
Another Greek roared angrily, and he was too late to collect his spear, and he stabbed even more.
"Innocent!" Pei Ziyun hit the man in the chest with a blow from the handle of the gun, spurting out a mouthful of blood and falling down, while the slave pounced and killed the man.
The surroundings were suddenly empty, and at this time, the slaves had placed Philoctetes on the chariot, with Hercules' bow and arrows, and this bow could only be relieved if he held it in his own hands, because it was in history that Paris died under this bow.
"Withdraw, return to Troy at once. Killing two heroes in a row and taking Hercules' bow and arrows, Pei Ziyun did not hesitate and immediately drank it.
Mount Olympus
At the foot of the mountain, Hercules watched the battle in the Greek camp with a calm face, and he knew the fate of his good friend Philoctetes.
Last night, Hercules also told Philoctetes through a dream that he would pick him up.
When he saw Paris shoot Philoctetes to death, Hercules sprouted on his forehead and roared, "Paris, you will die like Philoctetes." ”
But he didn't get up immediately, because Hercules had already ascended to the gods, and he understood that Philoctetes had killed Kuknos, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Poseidon's wrath had changed the line of fate of Philoctetes, and now he was just shooting Philoctetes under the pretense of Paris.
However, the next act of Prince Paris completely angered him, and Paris dared to take away the bow and arrow that Hercules had given to Philoctetes, and Herculeston was furious: "Paris, you are looking for death." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and was about to kill Paris in the Nether.
"You can't go. A voice rang out, and the voice was very intimidating, causing a wave of fear in Hercules, who had just become a god.
Then, with a flash of golden light in front of him, a young man with a longbow on his back and Apollo, the god of long-range shooting, saw Hercules' actions and stood up to stop him.
Hercules had dealings with Apollo when he was alive, but he didn't feel it deeply at that time, and now that he has become a god, he really feels Apollo's divine might.
Apollo is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and he is indeed much more powerful than himself.
Although Hercules was very angry, he still pressed his anger: "Apollo, you want to stop me? just for this mortal?"
Hercules' tone was stiff, if it wasn't for Apollo, but a low-ranking god, he might not have paid attention at all and acted directly.
This hero is self-respecting by nature, and whoever dares to disobey will be killed, and is known for his jealousy, and when he was a teenager, he killed the teacher who taught him to read, the gray-haired Renos, the son of Apollo, for a trivial matter.
And in the last attack on the city of Troy, because Tramon took the lead, Hercules felt that his friend had surpassed him, and he was angry and anxious, jealous, and drew his sword to cut down his friend Tramon, who was rushing ahead.
If it weren't for the shrewdness of Tramon, when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately knelt down and said, "I will build here an altar to Hercules the victor!"
to be spared.
You can imagine what this person's personality is like.
But Apollo did not scruple at all now, and sneered: "Hercules, you were also a mortal, with the permission of fate, you became a god, but in Mount Olympus, you have no god position. ”
"I sacrificed Prince Parris, and I said, 'I will save you once, and you can't kill him just because of that. ”
"And at that time, you were favored by fate, and many gods did not want to go against fate, so as not to have the danger of sleeping, so they let you be presumptuous. ”
"Now that you have ascended to God, you have lost the favor of fate, and you still want to disobey me and be my enemy?" said Apollo disdainfully.
Hercules is the son of Zeus, and that's nothing, who can't kill Hermes, the three goddesses of vengeance, Hecate, Hestia, Dionysus?
Only Calypso and Hebe are fine.
It's just that fate was destined at that time, so Hercules was able to run rampant, and he was not severely punished for repeated conflicts with the gods, but now, Hercules' personality and strength have increased, but he has lost the protection of fate, and the consequences of offending the gods immediately broke out.
Think about it, how many sons of gods did Hercules kill and how many gods came into direct conflict with when he performed twelve feats?
That's why Hera was able to ascend the god in Hercules, and immediately drove Hebe out of Olympus after he was appointed by fate to marry him, and there was no real godhood!
Fate did not say that Hercules should have a godhood.
Strictly speaking, Hercules was an immortal god with gods, but no authority!
Apollo saw that Hercules' face was pale, and he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Hercules had ascended to the gods and was an immortal member, and said: "Of course, the most important thing is that you see that the gods all act under the pretense of mortal hands, and rarely kill mortals directly, have you thought about this reason?"
Hercules listened to Apollo say this, and his anger gradually subsided and fell silent.
The gods pretended to use mortals to intervene without directly interfering in the affairs of mortals, and he had seen many times during his time in Olympus.
Not to mention far away, let's just say that recently Poseidon killed his good friend Philoctetes under the pretense of Paris's hand, and he has not delved into the deep-seated reasons, and now it seems that it is not as simple as it seems.
"Could it be that intervening directly with mortals is easy to cause disputes between gods?" Hercules thought, throwing out the thoughts in his mind, but there was no next move.
Hercules knew that since Apollo stopped him, at least this time, he would not let himself hurt Paris, and it seemed that he had to think long term to avenge his friend.
"Apollo, I can promise you that this time I won't shoot directly at Paris, but my bow and arrows must be retrieved. Hercules said.
"Yes. Hercules wanted to take back his bow and arrows, and Apollo immediately agreed, and said, "Hercules, as for your wrath, I believe that our father, the great Zeus, will have promised it." ”
hall
The gods looked at each other after seeing Kuknos draw his sword and commit suicide, and there was a brief silence in the room, Kuknos was not so much a suicide as he was killed by Philoctetes, without that fatal arrow, Kukonos would not have chosen this path.
Looking at the angry Poseidon, no god would choose to speak at this time, and if he was not careful, he might offend Poseidon.
Poseidon was not a lowly deity, second only to Zeus on Mount Olympus, and like Hades, no god wanted to be easily offended.
It was only when Paris had slew Philoctetes and returned to Troy with Hercules' bow and arrows that the gods began to whisper.
"Paris has obtained Hercules' bow and arrows, has he escaped his original fate?"
Athena watched the gods discuss and knew that only Zeus came forward at this time, and Paris's handling also had to see Zeus's attitude.
She stood up and said, "Now, let's hear what our great Father has to say." ”
As he spoke, he pushed aside the middle clouds, revealing a scene in the nether realm.
Palace of Troy
The body of Philoctetes was laid in the middle field, his armor stripped off, but still clothed, and a great crowd gathered around, saying: "Look, your enemy Philoctetes is dead. ”
Pei Ziyun listened quietly in the hall.
"How brave King Kuknos was, he could not have imagined that he would be attacked by this despicable Greek. A Trojan elder lamented.
"Kuknos is invulnerable, but he can't stop the small poisonous arrow, this poisonous arrow of the hydra is too powerful, fortunately we have captured this divine bow. Troy Rose, the prince of Troy, said with emotion, and he admired his brother Prince Paris more and more.
"No matter how powerful a human being is, it can't resist the cruelty of fate. A white-haired Trojan elder sighed.
King Priam looked at everything in the hall.
The death of Kukonos did give him a great shock, he knew that the strength of Kukonos might attract the attention of the gods, but he always thought that Kukonos was the son of the great Poseidon and should be fine, but even Kuknos's father Poseidon did not come to the rescue, which made him feel ominous.
However, in the blink of an eye, Paris killed Philoctetes, and Priam was overjoyed, but also had new worries, and turned to Hector, who was standing quietly, and asked, "Hector, what do you think?"
Whenever Troy had something big going on, Hector was calm and never messed up, and Priam liked to ask for advice every time.
However, more importantly, although Paris is very modest and has repeatedly stated that he has no intention of competing with Hector for the succession to the throne, everyone can feel Prince Paris's merits and talents.
Now, many princes and elders are moving closer to Prince Paris, even overshadowing the brilliance of Hector, and King Priam really does not want to see two excellent sons fighting each other.
But now Troy needs a good prince even more in order to survive the catastrophe and even achieve victory.
