Chapter 24: Fatal Blow

The spear of the Greek god of war Ares and the spear of the Roman god of war Ares were held in the hands of the river god and appeared in front of William at the same time, a similar but not the same feeling, it was like seeing himself in a mirror.

The truth is clear.

"Me and myself, for example I'm a Roman, and the other I'm a Greek, right?" William described himself and his relationship with himself in a strange tone.

Hercules is known as Hercules in Greek mythology, Hechuli in Roman mythology, Heber in Greek mythology, and Uventas in Roman mythology.

"Yes and no, it's not much different." Hermes said, "You want to win against the other side, but it is not easy, because you are the Greeks and the other you are the Romans."

"Is there a difference?"

"Absolutely. Whether it is the other party's ability, glory, and brilliance, it is better than yours, which is why he will be born as the son of a duke, and you are the son of a blacksmith."

"It's not fair."

"It's fair because Greece is gone, Rome is still here, Greek mythology has been incorporated into Roman mythology, and the Roman gods are more radiant than Greece, and of course there is something else to this."

"Something else." William vaguely felt that this so-called other factor was the real key.

"I'll give you an example, when it comes to the Greek god of war, almost all mortals now think that it is Athena, but in fact, the real god of war is always Ares, as one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, Ares should have a high status and prestige, but in mythological stories he has always been a second-rate character, every time he fights with Athena, he is beaten by Athena and loses his armor, and even the mortal Diomedes can stab him, don't you think it's strange? A god with the priesthood of the god of war cannot be a second-rate character, for example, Odin in Norse mythology is the god of war. Think about what Athena's priesthood was?"

"Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom."

"That's right, since there is already a god of war, then why is there a goddess of war and wisdom, the reason is that Ares is the embodiment of human bloody desires, he is obsessed with violence and strife, this is his priesthood is destined, he likes to provoke human wars, he does not pay attention to the rights and wrongs of war, but is interested in the battle itself, the war he maintains has nothing to do with justice, nor about human wisdom, and the war that Athena maintains is a war of civilization, and she always adheres to justice and wisdom into war. Ares' defeat and Athena's victory are not so much the difference between the powers of the two gods as the mythical human perception of war. So in Greek mythology, Athena was stronger than Ares, but what about in Roman mythology?"

"Mars is stronger than Athena."

"That's a good answer." Hermes still had the usual smile.

The image of Ares is worse than that of Hermes, and if people disdain Hermes as in Aesop's Fable, then they are disgusted with Ares.

He always plays the role of a villain in later film and television dramas, he is a bloodthirsty murderer, and he is the embodiment of murder, blood, and human disasters, so although he is one of the twelve main gods, his status is not noble, and he is not popular with people.

However, the Roman god of war Mars, who is believed to be the father of Romulus, the builder of the Roman city, and the ancestral god of the Romans.

The Romans' worship of him is second only to Jupiter (Zeus), because Rome, which is full of martial virtues, is inseparable from this god of war, so in the expansion of the Roman Empire step by step, Mars's status has been continuously improved, and his image has become brighter and more magnificent.

"So how do I overcome my other self?" William couldn't help but ask, although they were all the same person, the gap between the two was too big, and he had no way to deal with this threat.

"I don't know." Hermes replied.

"......" William looked at Hermes helplessly, since you don't know, why are you still telling me so much.

"But I know, what is the purpose of his actions?" Hermes followed.

"His purpose." William frowned slightly.

You know that, don't you?" Hermes chuckled, then threw both the sword of gold and the sword of angels to William.

"Because of love." William sighed, took the sword from Hermes' hand, this time he did not refuse, and then saw Hermes wave his hand and walk towards the river, with mixed feelings in his heart.

William has a strong Oedipus complex, also known as the "mother-love complex", and he is in love with his mother, the fairy who appeared in front of him.

The blessing of the Seven Fairies is also a curse, he will only fall in love with people who resemble him, and when Heber appears in front of him, he falls in love with this fairy.

The reason why Duke William pursued King Arthur was because he believed that King Arthur was the one who could replace his mother, which even King Arthur and Duke William confessed.

Because of the prophecy of fate, Duke William, who was destined to lose his kingdom, came to King Arthur's sleeping Avalon, and King Arthur of Avalon actually saw that the little boy who lost his soul and was terrified all day made her sprout motherhood, raising and teaching William as a fairy, the relationship between the two is like a mother and son, intimate, so even King Arthur, who is really on his side, is really on his side?

Duke William loved King Arthur deeply, but King Arthur could not have loved his child.

When William blackened and became Duke of the Dragon, the saddest thing should actually be King Arthur, and the reason why King Arthur was on his side was not only for her country, but also to save Duke William.

"So I'm superfluous." William's heart was bitter, and when he learned the truth, he never thought that the clown would be me.

In the stories of Duke William and Herb, and King Arthur, he is the only one who is superfluous, and he himself has nothing.

King Arthur must have been disappointed, he and the Duke of William were not brothers at all, but the same person, the premise of all plans had failed, even if William personally experienced the fate of Duke William, it was impossible to defeat the other party.

The sword in the stone shone in his hand, and the sword of gold and the sword of angels were not to be outdone, and William let out a long sigh, as if he felt that all this was meaningless, and Lily, the fairy who had once loved him, was also abandoned by him, and when he was sighing, he saw the light in the sky like a meteor falling.

It was the Nymph of the Forest who dealt a fatal blow to him and Duke Robert, from the power of the Gold Sun, the Silver Moon, and the Bronze Star.

The Destiny Gold Coin is in the early warning, and because he is so focused, he almost forgets about the fairy in the forest.

Why did Hermes talk so much to me and now slipped away so fast. z.br>

"Damn, I'll be back."
