Chapter 47: The Gods and the Devil
"You won't be my opponent, I have already comprehended the existence of the speed force thousands of years ago, and now even if your speed can keep up with me, so what?" The battle between the runners is unlike any other.
Hermes was not the same as other Greek gods, although he was not the son of Hera and Zeus, and he did not have any brilliant battles in mythology, but he was an existence to be reckoned with.
He was born to Mia, the daughter of Zeus and Atlas.
Legend has it that he was born on Mount Coulenne, hence the name of the god of Coulenne. He may have been an ancient, almost primitive god, initially the embodiment of the great power of nature, and later became the god of animal husbandry, the patron of shepherds.
He taught people to light the fire on the altar and first asked people to contribute cooked food.
The worship of him and the myths about him contain the characteristics of the typical god of the underworld: he often accompanied Persephone in and out of the underworld, escorting the ghosts of the dead to the underworld; He once led the great hero Hercules to Hades and brought the three-headed dog of Hades, Cerberus, to the world. He wears winged sandals and holds a wand, and can fly around with the agility of a thought. Therefore he became the herald and messenger of Zeus.
He was also regarded as the protector of the wayfarers, and people erected his pillars on the main roads, and he was also the god of eloquence.
And unlike other gods who were full of hostility and covetousness to Zeus, Hermes was extremely loyal to Zeus.
"Mercury's speed power, is that really the case?" The Flash felt the familiar power of the other party and had been prepared for a long time.
Mercury is the Greek god name of Hermes and the god who gave Shazam speed, so in a way Barry Allen knows each other better than anyone else.
"This is not our battlefield, our war is somewhere else!" The battle between the two is not limited to this small part of Greece, their speed has reached extreme speed, their figures flashing all over the earth, it is a battle between runners.
At this time, Batman also faced Ares, wearing horn armor, Ares disdained the mortals in front of him, although he was killed once, but Ares, as the god of war, got the most powerful power in the war.
"Even mortals dare to swing their fists at the gods!" Although Ares knew that Batman was not an ordinary mortal, after careful research, Ares had long determined that Batman was just a mortal without any power, and all he used was his own technological power.
Batman didn't say a word, his cloak formed a huge shadow, and then Ares punched the other in his disbelief eyes.
Although these gods seem to be beyond ordinary people, they are actually not very powerful in their own right, and their strength lies in all kinds of strange abilities. For example, Ares, although his fighting ability is already considered the best among the gods, but in fact, what he is most proud of is his divine power.
That is, his ability to manipulate steel, but in reality this ability is not very powerful. Magneto's power is to manipulate magnetism, but it's not as simple as manipulating steel.
"How is that possible?!" Unbelievable, Ares couldn't believe that he had been beaten by a human. Although Ares had failed many times, he had never been defeated by a real human, much to his annoyance.
"You're damned!" And this annoyance drove Ares even more mad after Batman stretched out a middle finger, as the only god who has been in contact with modern human civilization, how could Ares not understand the meaning of the logo made by Batman.
Looking at the furious Ares, Batman secretly said that he had taken the bait.
In fact, for the Greek gods, Batman has countless ways to concoct them, except for the more tricky Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, Batman has carefully tested the power of the gods in the war.
The goddess of beauty, Aphrodina, has the power to manipulate lust and can make humans infatuated with each other without limits, but in fact the other party is essentially a bitch.
The other party's behavior during the war reminds Batman of a name that was mentioned by El-Tomie.
A very beautiful woman, but her personality is vain and arrogant, she has a strange constitution, and can reproduce endlessly with the cells of her body. Even a drop of blood can give birth to a new Tomie, but Tomie is hostile to each other and will even devour each other.
And any man who is bewitched by her beauty, will do anything at her command, and then be abandoned after being squeezed dry, but will also kill and dismember her to the extreme.
Aphrodina's power can be said to be very similar to Kawakami Tomie, but one is a monster who seduces men, and the other is a god who is high.
Actually, there is no difference between demons and gods sometimes, is there?
But in this era, at the stage when intelligent weapons have been fully developed, Aphrodina has died under Iron Man's endless army of steel before he even uses what he does best.
"I thought you wouldn't kill women." Doctor Strange said with some amusement.
"She doesn't count." It's a shame to say, if it weren't for Doctor Strange's help, Tony Stark would have been controlled by Aphrodina. After researching the opponent's ability, Tony chose to use the army to pile the opponent to death, anyway, the machine does not secrete hormones and dopamine.
That's why Batman kept Cyborg at the base, after all, part of Cyborg was still a human and not a complete machine.
"How's the rest of the battlefield going?" With all kinds of weirdness emerging in an endless stream, the Avengers are also recruiting more powerful trends, and Hawkeye has completely retired, like in this kind of war, Hawkeye is just sending him to death.
In fact, Hawkeye has also realized this trend, although he is a hero, but he doesn't want his children to lose their father, so he chooses to retire; And he also understands that his current appearance is just a drag.
Even Black Widow doesn't appear in the alliance very often now, times are changing, and everyone is changing.
"Peter did a good job, he's a mutant after all, and he's doing a good job and is well suited to launch as a new hero image." Tony looked at Spider-Man who was fighting with Bacchus and said with some sighs, with the support of Tony's black technology, Spider-Man can even fight back and forth with Bacchus.
This does not disappoint Iron Man's expectations for him, and it is indeed time for the current alliance to absorb new blood.
