Chapter 446: Battle
They flew down the Sky Island and into a vast desert beneath the Dragon Realm.
It seems that dragons often fight here, like a place to test cannonballs, and there are craters everywhere, and the ground inside the craters is charred and black, and the earth is full of cracks.
In some places, the sand and gravel were even burned into glass by ultra-high temperatures, and they glowed in the sun.
And in this corner of the desert, there is a sloping tower like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but the height is hundreds of meters, straight into the sky, Jin Gu and Char and others are standing on the tower to watch the battle.
Standing in a corner of the battlefield in the distance is one of the most powerful demigods of Olympus, and in all of Greek mythology, perhaps only the demigod Perseus who killed Medusa and saved Andromeda can compare to him.
But now, He's Hercules, a godly God, a real God.
On the other side of him was one of the eleven monsters created by Tiamat.
He is no longer just a dragon, but a beast, an enemy of the gods.
Char had never seen a divine battle, and obviously, the dragons in the Dragon Realm had not seen many of them, so there were a lot of dragons watching the battle.
Bashum let out a roar first, and his body suddenly began to swell, scales grew on his body, his palms turned into sharp dragon claws, and his legs became dragons.
And its head began to change, like a dragon and a snake, because it had cobra-like wings on both sides, and the dragon's mouth was full of fangs, especially the snake-like stinger in the front section seemed to be able to easily penetrate Hercules' chest.
His whole body is still humanoid, but at the end of his tail there is a long tail like a python, his height is about four meters, but the tail is more than ten meters long, and the upper end of the tail has sharp barbs.
The end of the tail is like a scorpion's tail with a sharp thorn, and it looks like it is full of weapons.
This is the dragon, the true body of Bashomu
It was unlike any dragon Char had ever seen.
As his thoughts came to this, Nabashim moved, and with a loud bang, the rocky ground beneath his feet began to crack layer by layer, and with a loud explosion, the whole dragon rushed directly towards Hercules like a cannonball.
His speed was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to detect it, but even from Char's point of view, it was still fast.
Basium collided with Hercules, who was standing in place, and the sound wave spread around the center of the impact point with the shock wave in the center, the earth trembled, and countless winds and sand were lifted up to a height of tens of meters.
Through the gap in the wind and sand, they could see Hercules raise a bronze shield, the edge of which was inlaid with gold, silver, and ivory, and even inscribed with various gods and runes, which Athena had given him an artifact.
Basium's sharp claws that were enough to break the mountain and cut off the flow could not break through the artifact in his hand at the moment, and even the impact of the collision just now could not even make Hercules take a step back.
Hercules grinned slowly, as if to say something to Bashom.
But Char could hear it through clairvoyance.
"You're fast, but alas, it's lightning fast."
Char couldn't help but think back to the first time he met Hercules, when he was fighting a Titan who could summon thunderclouds and even throw lightning directly from the clouds.
It shouldn't be the first time Hercules has fought him, and he has dodged thunder and lightning I don't know how many times.
Basium's reaction speed was very fast, and the moment Hercules's words fell, his claws were propped up on the shield, and his waist and abdomen swirled in the air, and the snake tail that was more than ten meters long was thrown towards Hercules like a whip.
The snake's tail easily slapped into the air with a blasting sound, and when it hit Hercules, it trembled violently, and the enveloping air wave lifted the yellow sand dozens of meters high.
Under Basium's gradually changing expression, Hercules actually hugged his snake tail directly.
With a soft snort, Basium directly felt that he had lost his center of gravity and was thrown up by a powerful force that he had never seen before.
The spectators from the Leaning Tower saw Hercules holding Bashomu's tail and flicking the circle, and the strong centrifugal force even made it impossible for him to break free at all.
The hurricane formed a tornado, countless sand and dust filled the sky, and the visibility became lower and lower, and during this rotation, Hercules gradually appeared on his body with some armor.
As the sand and dust completely covered them, a meteor flew out of the tornado, soared thousands of meters, and crashed into the raised rock wall on one side, knocking out countless rubble, and the entire rock wall was shattered.
But even so, Bashim did not stop, but carved a trench thousands of meters long in the ground, and with his own strength, it stopped in mid-air.
Now, there was no longer any contempt in Basium's eyes, only solemnity and seriousness.
In the entire ancient European mythology, Zeus should be the strongest god-king except for the all-knowing and all-powerful god in the setting.
The God's version of the Greek God-Titans War depicted the world in chaos, and Zeus' thunder made the earth, the heavens, the sea, the ocean currents, and the underworld tremble.
Homer's version of Zeus, with a lock of hair shaken and falling from the peak, will fall a day before it falls to the ground.
His strength was far greater than that of the gods, and the gods tug-of-war with Zeus, who could not pull out all the gods together with one hand.
Zeus threaded all the gods and the earth and the ocean with a rope of gold, which could be easily pulled up with one hand.
And Hercules, who inherited his bloodline, had great power even in the demigod period, and after becoming Hercules, his strength was even more qualitatively improved.
So in terms of strength, at least in this dragon realm, no one can be more powerful than him.
Through the smoke and dust in the sky, Hercules's figure gradually appeared in front of them, but at this moment he was wearing some armor.
A gold cuirass gifted by Athena and a matching shoulder armor, an orichalized bronze shin made by the god of fire.
Tartarus was not dead, so Hercules could engage in hand-to-hand combat without the slightest concern.
It's different in this place, though, so you'll need some equipment.
Of course, even if He dies here, he will only return to Hades, and that is where He came from.
Even Char's task may not be completed.
As Hercules gradually revealed his body, in the dust, a sharp blade tore through the dust and silently stabbed Hercules.
The blade was silent, not even Hercules could react, and the blade slashed across his breastplate, making a metallic clash, and sparks flew everywhere, leaving a long scratch on his breastplate.
When the smoke cleared, people saw that the sharp blade was the tail of Basium's snake tail, and at this moment he quietly touched the front of Hercules.
Seeing that the blade could not pierce Hercules' armor, Bashom rushed over directly and began to engage Hercules in hand-to-hand combat.
When Hercules was in Tartarus, he often engaged in hand-to-hand combat with monsters, which was what he was best at and used to.
However, it is undeniable that this Bashom's melee ability is indeed powerful.
Although it is not as large as a normal dragon in terms of size, it is much faster in terms of speed.
In particular, compared to Hercules in human form, he also has a very flexible and powerful snake tail, which is equivalent to his third hand.
Their movements were swift, and the dragon's claws struck Hercules' wrist armor, sending sparks flying in all directions.
Suddenly, Bashomu kicked a mid-leg horizontal kick, Hercules quickly blocked with his left hand, grabbed the joint of the opponent's kicked leg with his right hand, moved his center of gravity, quickly moved the supporting leg and got close to the opponent, picked up the opponent's support leg with the other leg, rotated with his body as the axis, pressed the opponent's leg with his shoulder to knock him down, and raised his fist at the same time.
If it was an ordinary human, he had lost his center of gravity at the moment and could not launch a counterattack at all, but Basium was different, he also had a flexible tail.
However, instead of using this tail as a support, he stabbed Hercules in the head again.
If Hercules didn't make any moves, his head would have been almost pierced directly, but Hercules had no intention of stopping.
With the bulging muscles, the blood mist surged, and he threw a downward punch into the chest of the fallen Bashomu.
The power contained in this punch was too huge, like a meteor falling, and a huge kinetic energy was transmitted to the ground.
The ground under their feet was blasted by this huge force, and the layers of cracks continued to spread to all sides, and the huge rocks bulged and shattered from the ground, and spread to dozens of kilometers before gradually stopping.
At a glance, the original flat desert has been transformed into a rocky plain.
Bashom spat out a mouthful of blood, but at the same time, the sharp blade that pierced Hercules was blocked by a special helmet that suddenly appeared.
On Hercules' head, a lion-headed helmet appeared at some point.
It is the most classic of his legends, the lionskin helmet made of the first skin obtained by killing the invulnerable Nemian giant lion.
Although Nemia is said to be the first monster to be killed by Hercules, its origin is not simple.
After Zeus took over the throne of Cronus, Gaia, in order to take revenge on Zeus, gave birth to Tartarus, the god of the abyss, one of the most complex and powerful monsters depicted in Greek mythology, Typhon.
Legend has it that he possessed the head of a hundred dragons, a tongue of darkness, eyes of fire, and a body taller than the sky, covered in feathers and a pair of wings.
Typhon and his wife Ekadena gave birth to many terrible monsters, such as the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, the hydra hydra, the three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus, the two-headed dog Otrus, the lion-headed goat-like monster Chimera, the sphinx, the sea monster Sculla, and the invulnerable Nemian lion.
Gaia was a super-primordial god on par with Tiamat, so in a sense, Nemia was almost on par with Basium.
Although its overall strength is not strong, at least it is invulnerable, and even Basium, who is a dragon, cannot break through the defense.
On the leaning tower on one side, Hypnos teased at Jin Gu on the other side.
"Looks like we won."
Jin Gu's expression was still the same, but he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Win, I think it's just the beginning."
He turned his head to Hypnos, "Do you know why Bashomu is called the Dragon?" ”
At this time, Basium, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly moved, and the long snake tail quickly wrapped around his body after not stabbing Hercules, just like a skill often used by pythons when hunting prey - strangulation.
The powerful force locked Hercules in place, and at the same time, Bashim also raised his body sharply, opened his bloody mouth and pounced on Hercules, who was temporarily restrained, the venom on the sharp fangs glimmering in the sunlight
