Lu Xiaoqi had a dream.

It's a tranquil island where the waves gently caress the sand.

In the early morning, the smoke is all around, and even the mischievous birds chirp softly.

"Wow!" A baby's cry broke the silence around them, and the sound was so loud that the smoke on the surface of the sea was almost shaken away!

"What a strong child! Thetis, my love! A man held the baby with a face full of happiness: "Thank you for your hard work and gave birth to our child!" ”

A woman so beautiful that the heavens would be jealous of her, lying pale on animal skins, her golden hair stained with sweat.

She took her own child, a boy.

"Give our kids a name! Peleus! The woman's voice was gentle and beautiful: "I hope that he will be a hero admired by all like you in the future!" ”

"Thetis, Prometheus' prophecy is that your son will be far superior to his father, so don't worry, my dear, our son will be a great hero who will be far superior to me and will stand up to the heavens!" The man kissed the woman's forehead and helped her wipe the sweat from her face: "As for his name, I think he deserves the blessing of the gods!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the thick fog that surrounded the island cleared, and the sun shone brightly.

As the sunlight shone into the room, two beautiful women appeared abruptly in front of the bed in the room.

"Hera? Athena? Thetis struggled to sit up with astonishment, but was pressed down by a woman with a garland on her head: "You are still weak, dear goddess of the sea! ”

"Athena and I are here to bless your children! Dear Thetis! Another woman of great beauty and nobility spoke, Hera, the queen of Olympus and the wife of the king of the gods.

The man on the side knelt on one knee and saluted the two goddesses.

It is a great honor for the Queen of Heaven and the Goddess of Wisdom to come at the same time!

"Just call him Achilles!" Hera picked up the baby boy and kissed him on the forehead: "He will be brave and invincible!" ”

"His wisdom will be enough to understand the hearts of the people and command the army!" Athena plucked a leaf from the wreath on her head and placed it to the baby's lips, and the leaf turned into green juice and flowed into his mouth.

Thetis looked at the two goddesses gratefully.

The two goddesses smiled at her, and Hera said, "Although we have blessed this child, his fate has long been sealed!" Hera leaned over Thetis and whispered, "Before I came, Laxis (the goddess of fate) told me that this child would be killed by a bow and arrow in a battle with the Trojans!" You should prepare early! ”

Thetis was taken aback, she herself was a god, and of course she wanted her child to be as immortal as herself, and once again looked at Hera gratefully and nodded.

The two goddesses left.

………………

Lu Xiaoqi is from God's perspective throughout the whole process, just like watching a movie. At first, he thought he had broken into someone else's dream again, but it took him a while to realize that it was his dream.

"Why do I dream about these things?" Lu Xiaoqi felt very strange.

Although Lu Xiaoqi hasn't dreamed for a long time, he remembers that most of his previous dreams are related to daily life, or occasionally have a dream that has reached the pinnacle of life (such as winning the Nobel Prize last time).

But now I actually dream of myths and legends! It's incredible! Could it be because a series of strange things have happened recently that have made his subconscious worldview fall from the scientific side to the mysterious side?

Although this is a dream, Lu Xiaoqi still sighs that his imagination is too strong; "Tsk! How is this different from reality? Look at the islands, the forests, the waters! Every leaf is so realistic that every pore of the character in the dream can be seen! I'm a genius! "This guy can't hold back as soon as he is narcissistic.

…………

The dream continues, and the scene abruptly shifts.

Lu Xiaoqi's eyes were no longer the island, but in a dark mountain stream.

"What are you going to do? Thetis? "The man grabbed his wife's arm, the spear behind his back was stained with blood, and he had just returned from the battlefield.

"My dear! I can't allow my children to have that tragic fate! He is my son, and he should be immortal! Thetis's face was a little crazy, but more of a motherly glow that was so rich that it couldn't be dissolved.

"That's his own fate! Even if you are God, you have no power to interfere! The man's face was full of pain: "I love our children as much as you do, Thetis!" But even if you want to shelter him, you shouldn't fight the idea of the waters of the Styx! I don't know if it's useful or not, but it will definitely offend the god of the underworld! ”

"I don't care! He's my child! The waters of the River Styx must be useful! You are a mortal, you may not know that the water of the River Styx is transformed by the blood of Tartarus, as long as it is a human with the blood of a god, it can strengthen the body, and from now on, no one in the human world or the divine world can hurt him! Thetis's voice was hysterical.

"But that will come at a price! Isn't it? Otherwise, so many demigods in the world would go to take a dip in the River Styx, then your Olympus would have changed masters long ago! The arrogant Zeus will also be pulled from the throne! The man roared, he had never believed in power that could be easily obtained.

If a man wants to become strong, he can only rely on himself to keep honing and fighting!

"Yes, it does come at a price!" Thetis took a deep breath, "The price is that the demigods who have soaked in the waters of the Styx will have their souls owned by the underworld after death, and they will never be free again. ”

When the man heard this, he was furious, and he opened his mouth to scold, but was interrupted by Thetis: "But it is impossible for our child to die!" When I help him soak in the Styx, even the spear of Zeus can't help him! ”

With that, she blinded her husband with her divine powers and jumped into a cave in the mountain stream with the baby in her arms, one of the entrances to the underworld.

…………

Lu Xiaoqi was so addicted to watching it that it was like watching the most classic stage play, which was more realistic than the special effects of all the magic movies he had ever seen.

The "camera" switched again, this time in a dimly lit space.

A vast black river rushed, but it didn't make any sound, as if the world had been muted.

Occasionally, the undead emerge from the surface of the river and let out a silent wail, as they will follow the Styx into purgatory.

Thetis stood by the river with his son in his arms, carefully saying that the waters of the River Styx could indeed strengthen the demigods, but for the true gods, they were poison, and there was no good fruit to eat.

Grabbing the baby boy's ankles with both hands, and lifting him upside down, Thetis soaked him in the River Styx.

Probably too painful, the baby boy struggled violently in the waters of the River Styx.

Soon, a layer of golden light seeped out of the baby boy's body, and he no longer struggled, and Thetis looked happy, as if he had succeeded!

"Who'?!!!!!"

A huge voice came from a distant place, majestic, and it seemed to have so much power that even the River Styx was shaken into a monstrous wave.

Thetis's face changed, and he lifted his son, caught it in his arms, turned into a bright blue light, and fled.

"Damn Hades!" She cursed in a low voice.
