Chapter 161, Hercules shoots the sun
Apollo, often mistaken for the sun god, is not, he is the god of light, although he has a little sun attribute, but he is not the sun god, and the real sun god is Helios.
After the Battle of the Titans, the god king Zeus rewarded the gods, and the god of light, Apollo, asked for the position of the head of the sun, Zeus forgot that Helios was on duty, so he agreed to Apollo's request, and since then Apollo has mastered the divine power of the rising and falling of the sun, and Helios has become Apollo's charioteer.
At this moment, the sun hung high in the sky, and the whole Olympus suddenly seemed like daylight, but this was only the beginning, under the scorching sun, Olympus was heating up every minute, the trees withered, the river dried up, and the gods couldn't stand the heat.
"Apollo, what the hell is going on?" Zeus asked angrily.
Apollo hurriedly said, "I didn't let Helios rise to the sun at all. Then he found Helios among the gods, and Helios stretched out here, proving that the rising of the sun had nothing to do with him, and therefore even more with Apollo.
"And what's going on with this sun?" Zeus stared at the scorching sun with his divine power, and suddenly found that the sun was actually formed by the flames released from a golden bird, and he was horrified in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a monster in the world.
The Golden Crow has been hanging high in the air, concentrating its fire on Mount Olympus, and within a day turning the fairyland-like Olympus into a scorched earth, Zeus was so angry that he ordered Apollo to kill the Golden Crow.
Although Apollo is not a real sun god, but also has the attribute of the sun, there is a certain immunity to the power of the golden crow, he came to the top of Mount Olympus, opened the silver bow and shot the golden arrow gathered by the divine power, the speed of the golden arrow is extremely fast, a shot is a hit, there is no way to avoid it, the golden crow was shot with an arrow, and hissed.
It's a pity that Apollo, as the god of light, is also biased towards light and heat, and the power of not restraining is not very lethal to the Golden Crow, and this angers the Golden Crow even more.
"Tweet ——!" With an angry whisper, two fireballs were born under the wings of the golden crow, falling towards Mount Olympus like meteorites.
When the gods saw this, they shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly fled in all directions.
Rumble! Rumble!
The two fireballs dropped by the golden crow were like two nuclear bombs, and they exploded the moment they fell to the ground, forming a storm of strong light and high temperature, leveling Mount Olympus in an instant, and some slow-running gods were even directly swallowed by the energy storm, and their bones were lost in the blink of an eye.
Although the gods did not die completely because of this, and they were completely able to be reborn afterwards, no one wanted to experience this kind of destruction, and the gods were horrified to see the destruction of their friends who had been drinking with them a few days ago, and immediately scattered like frightened birds.
"This bunch of waste that will only be enjoyed!" When Zeus saw that the gods had fled in the wilderness, and that there were no more people left who dared to stay, Zeus was furious in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Quickly call Hercules up." ”
"Yes." The fastest god of Olympus, Hermes, immediately went to do it.
Hercules, the god of Hercules, only recently became one of the gods of Mount Olympus, although it is only one of the gods, but its combat power is incomparable to most of the main gods, in fact, the main god is just a status symbol, not a symbol of power, such as the god of beauty Aphrodite, which is not worth mentioning in terms of combat at all.
"That strange bird is no ordinary monster, so what's the use of calling Hercules?" Apollo Dao, who was embarrassed, as the god of light, was immune to the damage of the golden crow to a certain extent, except for the fact that he was a little embarrassed on the surface, it was no big deal.
Apollo is also one of the twelve main gods, his record is still above the god of war Ares, is the first battle echelon under Zeus, even he suffered a loss at the Golden Crow, not to mention Hercules, who has only become a god not long ago, although Hercules is brave, but his divine power is not comparable to Apollo.
Zeus rolled his eyes, he naturally knew that Hercules was inferior to Apollo, but as a god king, he also knew the principle of restraint, so he turned to his brother Poseidon and said: "Only the weapon that restrains the strange bird can inflict heavy damage on it, Poseidon, my brother, only your trident can restrain the strange bird." ”
Poseidon is also very sophisticated, and soon understood what Zeus meant, this is to ask him to hand over his precious trident, now Hephaestus does not know where he is, once he hands over the trident, although he is still the god of the sea, but he will inevitably lose a lot of combat power, and he will no longer have the power to deter the seven seas, and then he will only have the name of the god of the sea, not the god of the sea.
Zeus naturally also had the idea of weakening Poseidon's power in his heart, and now that a justifiable reason was in front of him, he had no reason not to use it, so he said immediately: "Poseidon, the enemy is currently here, what are you hesitating about?" ”
Poseidon's face sank, he handed over the trident and had no real power, and if he didn't hand it over, he would be charged with ignoring the overall situation, Zeus could take his trident away with the power of the gods in the name of justice, he had to hand it over this time, and he had to pay it if he didn't hand it over, what a ruthless Zeus!
It was a result before and after, and Poseidon's natural selection was able to maintain his good reputation for putting the big picture first, handing over the trident to Zeus.
Zeus used his divine power to compress the trident into an arrow, and when Poseidon saw this, his heart felt like he was dripping blood.
"Zeus, what are you looking for me?" At the same time, Hercules came.
"Hercules, my child, now only you can save Olympus." Zeus handed the arrows of Apollo's silver bow and Poseidon's trident to Hercules, "There is only one chance, Hercules, you must not miss!" ”
"I'm not going to fail." Hercules took the bow and arrows, nodded solemnly, and flew away.
When Apollo saw Hercules going away, he said, "I can ...... too."
Although Hercules' archery skills are superb, Apollo is not weak, and he seems to be embarrassed, but in fact, he is in a very good state, and he can shoot this arrow that must be victorious.
"No, Apollo, the bottom of that strange bird is not clear, you are not going." Zeus waved his hand, "Hercules will be the hero of Olympus, but such a hero can be replicated, and you, Apollo, you are unique." ”
Hercules is a demigod born to Zeus and a human woman, and became a true god after death, although his strength is incomparable to most gods, but the demigod origin means that Hercules is a replicable hero, compared to Apollo, more precious.
"......" Apollo was silent, but he felt a chill down his spine.
In Zeus's eyes, everything is a chess piece, even if he Apollo is just a precious chess piece, the reason why he is not sacrificed now is only because he is more precious than other chess pieces, and when the other chess pieces are consumed, it is time for him to sacrifice.
Apollo looked at Hercules with pity, the most famous hero in Greece, only to see that he used all his divine power, stretched out his bow and arrows, withstood the heat emitted by the golden crow, his hair and clothes were burning, but he did not say a word, which is enough to be called a great hero.
Finally, less than 100 meters from the Golden Crow, Hercules released his bowstring and unleashed a fatal arrow.
