At night, Zheng Shu lay on the ground in a daze.

He was now in a room on the second floor of the tavern, but because he was too big, there was no bed in the tavern that could fit him down, so the waiter simply helped Zheng Shu move the bed out of the room and spread a thick blanket on the floor for him.

It would take a while for Hercules to come here, and Zheng Shu simply stayed in this tavern.

Of course, in addition to the fact that the food here tastes good, another important reason is the owner here.

"Were the gods of ancient Greece so idle? Even the staff in this tavern are demigods. Zheng Shu recalled the scene he saw today, and could only sigh that the world was so big and wonderful.

From the moment he entered the tavern's door, he found that if the other guests of the tavern were surprised by his size, the bartenders and waiters in the tavern were amazed by his appearance.

Being able to see Zheng Shu's true appearance showed that the concentration of divine blood on the staff here was much higher than that of most of the heroes he had met.

And although I haven't seen the owner of the tavern, judging by the residual divine power in the tavern, the other party should also be a god in the underworld.

Of course, although the staff in the tavern can be regarded as god-blood heroes, their strength can only be regarded as quite average from Zheng Shu's current point of view.

After all, if Zheng Shu exerted all his strength, except for the twelve main gods of Olympus, there were few in the entire ancient Greece who could defeat Zheng Shu even if they counted the gods.

To put it mildly, according to Zheng Shu's estimate of his current strength, even if the owner of the tavern really confronts him, he can suppress him.

But...... As a god of the underworld himself, and often residing in the city of Thenaron, Zheng Shu can only think of one god: Hermes, the god of undead guidance.

He was also the deity who helped Hercules enter the hellish passage of Thenaron and guided him.

Thinking of this information, Zheng Shu stayed in this hotel very simply. With this god present, Zheng Shu only needs to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the tavern owner without worrying about Hercules staggering with himself after coming to the city.

……

……

"Brother Zheng Shu, I heard that Hercules is coming to our city soon!" On this day, the drunken drunkard, after drinking the wine in his mouth as usual, lay down on the table and share his experience with the customers around him.

"I haven't heard from him for so long, I thought this Hercules was scared, but I didn't expect him to dare to come here."

"Just think about it, the entrance to hell in our city is the most famous, and if you want to enter hell alive, you must enter it from here. But would the adults guarding the temple really allow him in? Didn't they say that the purpose of the temple was to forbid anyone from trespassing in hell? ”

"People are famous heroes, and they must be different from us drunkards......"

The tavern was filled with a jumble of voices as the drunkards, who had to have a few drinks even during the day, discussed this exciting event.

After all, there was no convenient information dissemination system in ancient Greece, and ordinary people basically lived by eating melons in their leisure time except for drinking.

In the process of discussion, there were even people who put down their wine glasses and rushed out of the city one after another, after all, if they could really see the face of the big hero, they would have the bragging capital for the next half a year.

Zheng Shu didn't follow the crowd to the city gate, because he sensed that the owner of the tavern had been staying in the tavern since just now and had not left, which was very unusual behavior for this god who often only left his breath but did not see his body.

Sure enough, after the people in the tavern had almost run away, the waiter who had been smiling suddenly closed the door of the tavern with a solemn face, and then the three demigods in the tavern, including the chef, all stood respectfully aside, as if waiting for something.

Only then did Zheng Shu stand up unhurriedly and straighten his clothes to show his respect for the god who guarded the city.

While Zheng Shu was tidying up his clothes, a figure who looked a little thin slowly walked out of the back kitchen.

The momentum on the other party's body was not as fierce as the main gods that Zheng Shu had seen before, and it could even be said to be very inconspicuous, if it weren't for the aura he felt from his body was the same as before, Zheng Shu didn't even dare to be sure that this was a god.

However, the divine aura in his body that seemed to want to put everything into eternal sleep still made Zheng Shu clear about his identity: Hermes.

Hermes, the god of undead guidance, is a god who specializes in guiding the undead to hell, and in a sense his stay here is also very consistent with the situation of his priesthood.

After all, the gods do not have the concept of reincarnation, and the transfer of the undead to hell is purely to maintain order in the world, so this passage to hell in the city of Thenaron is not a natural landscape.

From the point of view of the gods, this passage can even be called the "official" passage to hell on earth.

Hermes, who guided the undead to hell, had another duty to guard the place.

"Benevolent Demon King Zheng Shu, I have heard of your benevolent name for a long time, but I didn't expect your own strength to be so strong." Hermes. He nodded very gently to Zheng Shu, who looked like an ordinary old man.

Zheng Shu's face turned dark when he heard Hermes call him at first, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, so he could only nod helplessly: "Presumably you are the god of Hermes, I can't hide it, I came here this time to be able to go to hell through that passage." ”

"Is that so? I'm sorry, but generally my mission is to prevent the living from going to hell, and only the undead can go to hell......" Before Hermes finished speaking, he saw Zheng Shu inadvertently brushing his hair.

It's just that in the process of brushing his hair, the muscles of Zheng Shu's arms suddenly became abnormally swollen for some reason, and even the magic power inside his body began to surge, enveloping the entire tavern in a strong sense of oppression.

Steel-like muscles rolled around his arm, looking like they could kill a god with a single punch.

So Hermes very wisely changed his words and continued: "...... Of course, heroes like you naturally have special privileges, after all, I also admire you very much. But I want to warn you that the Hell's Encroachment doesn't care who you are, and if you're not careful, you might even stay there forever because of the Hell's Breath. ”

Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction with Hermes's acquaintance: "Then Lord Hermes is going to find Hercules now?" ”

"That's right, I like heroes like Hercules, after all, his bravery has spread to all the city-states, and his soul must shine as brightly as his prowess." Hermes chuckled dryly.

He didn't dare to say now that he had appeared before to give Hercules a dismount, after all, even this Zheng Shu, who was not known for his strength, had such power, and that Hercules, who was known for his bravery, was probably even more terrifying.

It's a trivial matter for them to go to hell, anyway, it's not particularly rare for a living person to be smuggled into hell during a period like the god generation, after all, there are no worse living beings in hell than one or two.

This is because he was accidentally beaten up because he didn't like the other party's wishes, and as a god who would not die, Hermes would really die on a social level.

"Are the current human heroes strong enough to reach this level?" Because of serious self-doubt, Hermes didn't dare to put on any more scores, and very quickly led Zheng Shu to Hercules, who was heading to the city.

"Ah...... Brother Zheng Shu?! As soon as they met, Hercules' voice of surprise came to him.

Although Zheng Shu's appearance has changed a lot in such a long time, Heracross's breath has already been remembered. After all, for him, it was the first time since he was a child that he met a strong enemy who could compete with him.

Therefore, after seeing Zheng Shu descending from the sky, Hercules was only slightly stunned and recalled this friend he met in Nemea.

"Hercules, long time no see, it looks like you've gotten a lot stronger." Zheng Shu also smiled and said hello.

His words were not compliments, the moment he saw Hercules, Zheng Shu even couldn't believe his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that Hercules's appearance would not change at will, he wouldn't dare to recognize him.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of strength alone, Zheng Shu can still ensure that his hard power should be on par with Hercules when he is separated from Hercules.

After undergoing the arduous training of Caron and obtaining the divine armament made by Hephaestus, Zheng Shu felt a terrifying sense of oppression when he met Hercules again.

Before the opponent's strength increased at a speed far beyond Zheng Shu's imagination, he also speculated that Hercules, who had completed the twelve trials, might have only touched the edge of the main god-level strength of Olympus.

But now it seems that if he really completes the twelfth trial, even among the main gods, Heracrose's strength can be regarded as outstanding.

This......

Just simply completing some trials, can really increase an individual's strength to this level, Zheng Shu will not believe such nonsense.

To put it mildly, if every time you complete a trial, you can get such a large percentage of the increase in strength, then these trials have already been rushed to be completed.

In addition to the changes in strength, the biggest shock that Heracrosss brought to Zheng Shu was probably the divinity in him.

Zheng Shu can be sure that when he met Hercules before, the other party's body had no divinity at all.

And now when they meet again, the divine strength of Heracross's body has even surpassed that of ordinary gods, reaching a level close to that of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

According to speculation, if Hercules completes all the trials, his divine strength will even directly surpass all ordinary gods to reach the level of the main god, such a growth rate almost makes Zheng Shu think that Hercules himself has also been strengthened by the golden finger.

"Hahahaha, I also found myself getting stronger, but I don't know what's going on, it's just that somehow I've been getting stronger." Hercules smiled heartily, but the words that came out of his mouth made people want to beat him up, "By the way, the god next to you is the one who is the one." ”

"This is Hermes, the god of guidance for the undead, and he has come to see you this time to help you enter hell through the passage next to the city." Zheng Shu took the initiative to introduce Hercules.

And Hermes also glanced at Zheng Shu a little vaguely, his eyes were full of gratitude, because although Zheng Shu's statement would make him seem a little unprofessional, at least it allowed him to save his face as a god.

After meeting Hercules, Hermes couldn't help but sweat when he thought of his previous thoughts, he actually wanted to teach a strong person of this level a lesson.

Although Hercules' overall strength is still a bit behind the main god, it is not something that an ordinary god like him can afford to provoke.

Of course, in order to maintain his image on the surface, Hermes still has to maintain that mysterious posture: "I have heard of your merits, and I appreciate your strength very much, so I am willing to help you...... The Three-Headed Dog is located at the mouth of the River Styx, and creatures can only reach it through Lord Hades' capital. And if you have no one to guide you, you will be lost in the endless fog of Hell. ”

"Thank you very much for your help." Hercules bowed to Hermes in a respectful tone, not looking down on the god at all because his strength was stronger than the other party.

Hermes looked at Hercules with some surprise, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Shu next to him, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "I didn't expect Charon to train his students so well, seeing you, I even have the urge to throw my children to Charon and entrust him to help teach." ”

"Oh?" Hercules' eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Zheng Shu, "Brother Zheng Shu, have you also become a student of the teacher?" ”

"Yes, maybe it's more appropriate for me to call you Senior Brother now." Zheng Shu did not deny it.

"Hahahaha! That's great! We've got to have a drink! Hercules laughed happily, and it seemed that he was very happy that Zheng Shu, a friend who was very suitable for his temperament, could become a classmate.

Unfortunately, Hercules' plan to get Zheng Shu drunk was unsuccessful, as Hermes took the two of them directly to the edge of the hell passage.
