After the death of Achilles, the crisis in the city of Troy was temporarily alleviated, and the Greek soldiers, in keeping their oath, carried the coffins of their heroes to a high ground on the coast.

The warriors sang the praises of the hero's life, and when they reached the beach, thousands of seagulls circled over the heads of the funeral procession, wailing like crows.

The armor of Achilles, which had been shattered by the gods, and the severed spear, were glued with fish glue made from shark fat, and after washing the body with holy water, the heroes were dressed.

Then, according to the agreement, he went to Mount Aida in Achilles' hometown, dug up the roots of the old tree, spread them on the ground, used them as a pyre, placed the hero on it, and offered garlands made by countless women.

Each warrior cut off a strand of his own hair, placed it next to the corpse, poured various ointments on the pyre, and offered large bowls of honey, wine, and spices.

The warriors were heavily armed, some on horseback, some on foot, and walked in circles around huge pyres. After a total of 33 circles, they set fire to the pyre.

The raging flames engulfed Achilles in an instant, and a strong wind blew on the sea, and the flames were blown more and more fiercely.

Lu Xiaoqi watched not far away, orphaned for twenty years, and today for the first time he was sad for others.

The fire must have been tampered with by God, for the armor and the broken spear were burned to ashes in just a moment! You know, although they are all destroyed, their materials are extraordinary, and they were all artifacts! The flames of the mortal world can't do anything to them.

But in the flames, Achilles' body had nothing to do, even his hair was intact!

The sea suddenly lost its calm, and the waves, accompanied by the strong wind, roared and rushed to the shore, like a whimpering mother.

The sea formed a huge female body, and from the surface of the sea rose it to evaporate, forming dark clouds, raining down and extinguishing the flames.

"My son! Achilles! I'm late! The huge giantess knelt down and lifted Achilles' body with the giant palms of the sea, "Poseidon stopped me, my poor son!" ”

"Thetis, the goddess of the sea!" The Roman soldiers fell to their knees and burst into tears: "Your son, our hero, died heroically!" He died not at the hands of his enemies, but at the hands of the gods! ”

"I know, so I'm going to get revenge!" Thetis's body of seawater boiled, "Perhaps Zeus forgot who it was that in his moment of crisis, he summoned a hundred-armed giant to help him defeat the Titans!" ”

"Right? Briareos! As Thetis's words fell, a volcano erupted on the surface of the infinite sea, and a huge island was evaporated in an instant!

A towering giant stood up from the bottom of the sea, looking far away, and the highest clouds could not reach his knees!

"Whew!!!"

A strange roar shook the clouds away for thousands of miles, and the temples of the gods shook far away on the top of Mount Olympus!

"Hundred-armed giant?!" Zeus's face changed: "Damn Thetis! Is she going to start a war of the gods? ”

Zeus could not forget how this hundred-armed giant named Briaryos defeated the Titans in the first place:

The size of the hundred-armed giant itself makes the Titans, who pride themselves on their size, ashamed of themselves - even if you stack a Titan and a cyclops, they are not as huge as the Hundred-armed Giant.

At the beginning of the Olympus Sacred Mountain, the hundred-armed giants held a mountain in each hand, like a meteor shower, and threw a hundred mountains at the Titans like stones, causing them to suffer heavy losses in just one round.

"The God King doesn't have to worry!" Athena, the goddess of wisdom, smiled slightly: "She can't come!" ”

……………………

"I'm going to raze the city of Troy to the ground first, and then I'm going to flood it, and I won't be able to come out of the water for five thousand years! Then I'll go to Olympus myself and ask Zeus if I can kill all his sons!" "Thetis was full of hatred.

At this moment, in mid-air, a pitch-black giant gate suddenly appeared, and on both sides of the gate, stood two huge skeleton skeletons, one skeleton held a giant axe, and the other held a sickle.

"Cluck!" The giant gate slowly opened, and a thick black mist spit out from the gate, and countless undead were churning in the black mist!

A pale, black-robed majestic old man emerged from the black fog and stared at the body of Achilles in the palm of Thetis' hand.

"It's time! Thetis! The old man spoke, and his voice seemed to come from the endless abyss: "Your son cannot be placed in the mortal world!" His belonging is in the River Styx! His soul and body should be returned to the Underworld! ”

"No!! Hades! Don't you think! Thetis held Achilles to her chest and stared at Hades with a wary expression.

"Oh? Why do you refuse? Hades sneered and looked at the hundred-armed giant in the distance: "That big guy may be able to scare Zeus, but it's useless to me!" You know! ”

Hundred-armed giants can't go to the underworld, and Thetis certainly understands this.

"Also, the fate of your son after his death was decided soon after he was born! The one who decides is you! Thetis! Remember? Who soaked his son in the River Styx? Who is it, greedy for the power of the Styx, who wants his own son to be immortal? Hades laughed mockingly.

Styx can naturally make the demigods who combine gods and humans "invulnerable" and invincible in the world, but the acquisition of power has always required a price, and that price is - after death, the soul returns to the Styx, and it will never be liberated!

Fate has long been arranged, Thetis was arranged to marry a mortal, and after giving birth to a son, she was told that her son would die in the Trojan War, in order to prevent this tragedy, Thetis took a risk and secretly went to the River Styx to soak his son, and his son eventually died on the battlefield, and his soul was destined to return to the River Styx!

Thetis rebelled against fate, causing her son to fall into the trap of fate;

Achilles, for the sake of freedom and love, rebelled against the gods, and was killed as a result, and was not allowed to live after death.

Both mother and son are rebels, and what both mother and son end up reaping is pain.

So it's a complete tragedy.

………………

No matter how hard Thetis tried, she couldn't stop Achilles' body from being sucked into that strange door, and even if she froze her seawater body, she couldn't stop her son's castration.

A pitch-black torrent poured out of the gate, drowning Achilles' body, and countless undead in the black water grabbed Achilles' ankle and dragged him towards the gate.

"Boom!" After Achilles was dragged inside, the door closed, and Hades smiled at Thetis, turning into black smoke and disappearing!

"No !!" Thetis wailed, "Even if I chase him to the Nine Hells, I will bring back my son!" ”

"Poof!" Her "water giant" body lost its divine support, turned into ordinary seawater, and fell—she chased her to the underworld!

The hundred-armed giant in the distance saw Thetis leave and sank to the bottom of the sea.
