Chapter Eighty-Seven: Killing the Heavenly Father's Firstborn Son
Diana had heard of Hercules since she was a child.
One of the most powerful sons born to the god-king Zeus and mortals, she was a famous hero in the mortal world, but she had never heard of the Twelve Trials.
"It's normal that your mother didn't tell you.
After all, one of the twelve trials was to get her magic belt. ”
David laughed.
"There is no need to tell her daughter about the shame of a mother's failure, and ......"
"And what?"
Hippolyta looked at the playful gaze cast by the young man in the temple, and her heart trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Does he know something else?
No way, only the gods know.
In the face of Diana's question, David chuckled and did not answer.
If Hippolyta had told Diana about this myth, Diana would have asked Heracis how she had defeated her mother.
Some of the details can be embarrassing.
"Diana was the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta, and Hercules was the son of Zeus, but Hercules once came close to 'capturing' Hippolyta, even though it was before Zeus."
Sooner or later, Diana will learn about her background, and then she will be afraid that the perfect mother image in her heart will be shattered.
"But come to think of it, it's nothing to the style of the Greek gods."
David sighed.
A good example of this is Hercules, the son of Zeus and Alcmone, who was the granddaughter of Perseus, the great-granddaughter of Zeus.
As for her being the wife of Amphitleon of the King of Thebes, it is nothing in comparison.
"Twelve trials, peel off the skin of the invulnerable Nemian lion, kill the massive hydra Hydra with its fangs, capture the deer on the hill of Kerynea, and capture alive the wild boar of Ermantos, who is infinitely powerful...... and Cerberus, the three-headed dog that was brought back to Hell at the end. ”
Davy casually recounts the twelve trials of Hercules, and the more Diana listens to it, the more surprised she becomes, and she hears the names of the terrible monsters of mythology that she has heard since childhood.
These trials may be difficult for the gods, especially the last one, the three-headed dog of hell is the pet of the master of Hades, and I really don't know how Hercules did it.
Diana looked at her mother in disbelief, finally knowing why her mother had changed her words.
"What could be a more difficult achievement than the twelve trials combined?"
"Outsider, you don't need to complete so many trials.
Just do one thing, and we'll be kings. ”
Hippolyta said loudly.
"That's - kill Ares, the god of war who still wanders the world!"
There was a thunderclap in the hall, and a group of brave and warlike Amazonian female warriors trembled when they heard this name, and they couldn't help but be a little afraid.
For a while, the needles in the palace could be heard, as if he was afraid that the queen would call out his name like this, and the next second it would attract the evil eyes of Ares.
"Ares, kill the gods, including Zeus the Father!"
Diana's heart shook and she couldn't help but speak.
The Amazons believe in the revered gods of Mount Olympus, the omnipotent god king Zeus, the sea king Poseidon, and the sun god Apollo...... Thousands of years ago, all powerful gods were slaughtered by a single person.
That is the eldest son of Zeus the Father and Hera, the queen of heaven, and Ares, the god of war.
"Ares is a symbol of war, mutiny, killing and rioting, a symbol of strength and power, he is murderous, bloody, the embodiment of human calamity......"
Diana read out the terrible rumors she had heard about the Father's firstborn son since she was a child.
"I made Ares disappear from this world, and the Amazons will submit to me?"
As if he had turned a blind eye to the frightened reactions of the people in the temple, as if he had never heard of Ares's prestige, David seemed to be reading an ordinary name.
In his mouth, killing the god of war seemed to be just a common thing.
It's pretty much the same as David's guess.
The powerhouses and monsters that the Amazon clan came into contact with have all died, and there is only one Ares left, and what else can be used as a trial.
"Kill ...... Ares"
God cannot be killed, but will only fade, that is, he will die when he is forgotten and his faith is no longer there.
"If I can 'kill' Ares, he will return to Mount Olympus in the realm of the gods, and he will probably be imprisoned by the gods he killed immediately."
"At that time, he will be arrogant, and he will only fear that in captivity, he will forever resent the mortals who killed him."
David's eyes lit up.
It is equivalent to having a god who constantly provides him with emotional points, and Hippolyta does not say this, he thinks about doing it.
And now, with the addition of the 'legitimate' conquest of the Amazons, the last piece of the puzzle is in front of him.
"Kill two birds with one stone......" His face was neither sad nor happy, which made people not happy or angry.
“…… You know many secrets that mortals shouldn't know, but haven't you heard of the terrible Ares? ”
Hearing David's change of words, he was peeped into his careful thinking, and Hippolyta, who had been a queen for thousands of years, only moved slightly, and was not embarrassed, and asked in shock.
"Strong and weak, terrible or not, is always relative."
"Ares is as terrible to you as death itself, but not to me."
David chuckled, exuding a strong confidence that did not regard the mythical Heavenly Father's eldest son as a terrible threat, and Diana couldn't help but look sideways.
Although her mother did not tell her about the twelve trials of Herratres, she told her about other heroes from Greek mythology since she was a child.
Diana, who grew up listening to those stories, admired the heroes who never flinched in the face of any difficult and incomparable tests, and determined to be like those people, never afraid of any hardships and difficulties.
The man in front of her was handsome and powerful, with the confidence to challenge and accomplish everything, just like the heroes she admired as a child.
Diana's eyes, bound by the mantra lasso, flickered slightly.
"Amazons hate lies!"
Looking at David, who was talking eloquently, Hippolyta was stunned and cut the railroad to the fore.
"Outsiders, the promise made by the Amazons will be fulfilled until death!"
She responded to David's suspicions.
After she finished saying this, the Amazon female warriors also showed resolute looks.
The Amazons were deceived into almost becoming slaves, so they abhorred deception, which is a tradition from ancient times to the present day.
"Lying represents cowardice, meanness, and is the most shameful thing in the world!"
"Good."
With a hint of satisfaction on his face, David said slowly.
"I hope you keep your promises, or you'll just get an empty island and it's too boring."
Hearing his warning, a cold gaze swept over, and the hearts of Hippolyta and the Amazons in the temple tightened.
His current strength is still a certain gap from his Heavenly Father Zeus.
But thousands of years ago, Ares was able to kill Zeus because of his priesthood, the god of war.
When there is a war between people, Ares' strength will increase, and he will get a bonus when he is on the battlefield.
"In ancient times, Darkseid led an army of Apocalypse to invade Earth, and the war affected humans, the gods, Green Lantern, and Atlanteans......
Ares' strength has skyrocketed to an unimaginable level. ”
Even the heavenly father Zeus helped him carry the axe in that war, and Ares unhurriedly put on his helmet before taking the axe from Zeus, as if he was the main force of the war.
David's eyes were gloomy as he looked at the sky in the distance outside the main hall.
"Nearly killed Darkseid with an axe, even though the Dark Monarch was only eight years old at the time, it was earth-shattering enough."
At that time, Ares's power far surpassed that of the gods, and it is likely that just after the end of the war, the surging power had not completely subsided, and attacked his father, mother, and brothers and sisters, sending them back to the realm of the gods to be reborn, killing him as the only Greek god left on the earth.
The record is not without brilliance.
"But that's in the past."
He shook his head secretly.
In today's era, there are very few wars on Earth, and not only is he no longer at his peak, but most of them are not even as good as the normal times of ancient times.
As for where Ares is located, it's not hard to think.
David's eyes stared in a certain direction.
His eyes seemed to penetrate thousands of miles, and he saw the eldest son of the Heavenly Father who walked among the corpses everywhere on the battlefield, listened to the roar of guns and cannons, and enjoyed the most beautiful concerto in the world, and smelled the blood.
"The god of war naturally stays where the war happens!"
