Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Hua La La——

The chains rang, and the execution platform did not stop at the moment when Ares made his decision.

I don’t know whether they were curious about the immortality of this mortal or had received an invitation in advance.

In short, seeing Achilles who was not afraid of swords, more than one god came down to try.

Zephyrus, the leader of the four wind gods, was not present, but his gods and brothers and sisters were not absent.

Under the gaze of Aphrodite, Boreas, the god of the north wind, Notos, the god of the south wind, and Orus, the god of the east wind, summoned the strong wind from three directions.

The three winds together raised endless dust and smoke, and the entire sky of Olympus seemed chaotic for a while, and it was difficult to see any color.

As gods with similar power, the divine wind created by the three wind gods together made many onlookers change color.

However, after blowing for half a water clock, when the divine wind stopped, Achilles was still unharmed.

The wind god was unsuccessful, and the god of the underworld took over.

Ever since the goddess of discord Eris secretly obeyed the order of the Lord of Darkness and followed Zeus's hint to send the golden apple, the gods of the underworld, knowing that they would no longer be trusted by Hades, came to the sacred mountain.

But the Olympian gods did not like the underworld gods with obscure priesthood, and they could not integrate into the circle of gods on earth.

Now in order to show their abilities, they will naturally not be soft.

Moros attached the fate of misfortune to Achilles, trying to make him fall into misfortune.

However, the goddess was soon shocked to find that the mortal in front of her was neither alive nor dead. His fate of "life" was not here, and his fate of "death" could not be influenced.

This does not mean that the influence of fate is ineffective on him, but at least Moros's power is not enough to do it.

In desperation, she had to be the first to retreat.

Moros gave up, and the god of destruction Kerr and the god of decay Eurynomus followed closely.

The latter tried to use divine power to corrode Achilles' body and lower his defense, while the former picked up the long sword blessed by the god of war and chopped at the bound hero.

Both Hades tried their best, but when they hit Achilles, all they left was a vibration like a metal collision.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the young hero was still unscathed, and even looked at the gods in the sky with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Too light, are all gods so weak?"

"If so, I'm afraid that it's not just Ares who will give up the priesthood to me, why don't you guys let me sit in the seat?"

"Shut up!"

Achilles's wild words once again angered the gods, and even some gods who were just watching the show couldn't help but take action.

However, no matter what power, no matter how much divine power fell on Achilles, it could never break the body soaked in the water of the Styx.

The only one who made some achievements was the rainbow goddess Iris. The rainbow light she summoned dazzled the hero's eyes and made it difficult for him to see clearly.

But in the face of the omnipresent light, Achilles just closed his eyes, and Iris had to return empty-handed.

At this moment, although Styx was still flowing in the underworld and had never come to the land, all the gods present were shocked.

Before they took action, they could have ridiculed Ares's incompetence.

But after they really took action, they realized the difficulty of this mortal and the power of the Styx.

All along, compared with mortals on earth, gods have absolute advantages in both authority and divine power.

The reason why the so-called "demigods" have never mastered divine power but can still be tainted with the word "god" is just because they can compete with gods in terms of body.

Therefore, in the past years, the gods have seen humans with strong bodies that are even better than gods, and they have even gotten used to it.

But no matter how strong the body is, there will be a limit.

It was not until today that they realized that there are people who can temper their bodies to be as tough as divine weapons, and it is difficult to threaten them even if they use all means.

"Oh, now it's good."

"After all the efforts to invite the gods, if we can't kill this human in the end, it will be a big joke."

"Oh, I have long disliked Ares. What ability does he have? If he is not the son of the Queen of Heaven, what qualifications does he have to marry Aphrodite."

"It's just right. If this mortal is really allowed to survive this time, Ares will probably have no face to walk in the world for every day he lives."

"You think too much about this. The God of War is very thick-skinned... and this is not the case. In any case, there are the King of Gods and the Queen of Heaven to cover them.

"But if it really comes to that, I'm afraid even Your Majesty will lose face. "

"..."

For a while, a wave of discussion spread among the gods.

Most of them were laughing at Ares, and only a few people really cared about Achilles' life or death.

After all, although humans like him who blasphemed the gods were rare, they did exist.

The son of Zeus was much more excessive than him, but his final end was miserable enough, so the gods naturally would not be too angry.

"...What a group of guys who are taking advantage of others' misfortunes."

Cursing secretly, Ares's face did not look good as he listened to the voices coming from all around.

Forget it, it seems that the usual methods are really useless.

Ares secretly looked back, but he obviously saw nothing.

Not to mention that Hera and Hestia are still some distance away from here. Even if they are not there, as long as they deliberately conceal it, it will be difficult for them to be detected on Mount Olympus.

"... Enough, Achilles, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Taking a deep breath, Ares finally spoke while looking at the hero tied to the platform.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, as the voice fell, he took a step forward and raised his right hand high.

The next moment, the sky above the sacred mountain was full of clouds, and thunder and fire rolled like a long snake, carrying the power to destroy everything.

It is said that it took nine days and nine nights for a huge rock to fall to the ground from the sacred mountain, and nine layers of clouds could be seen from the foot of the mountain to the peak.

There should be no clouds on the top of the sacred mountain, but under this powerful force, they appeared out of thin air and covered the top of the mountain.

At this moment, Achilles, who was still unscrupulous before, seemed to feel a little threatened and looked up at the sky seriously.

Thunder and lightning, the power of heaven to punish living beings, the power that only the God King and Queen of Heaven can master, unexpectedly appeared here.

Although Achilles has always trusted his immortal body, he can't help but feel a little nervous now.

The teacher once said that if there is anyone in the world who can hurt him, it can only be done by the power related to the original gods.

And the power of the God King is undoubtedly one of them.

"Hahaha... Are you finally afraid?!"

It was difficult to control the stolen thunder. At this moment, Ares felt the changing eyes of the gods.

But no matter what, this is a matter for the future.

Looking at the face of this mortal, he knew that he was doomed this time.

"Thunder, help me!"

A loud shout seemed to pull the sky down.

After a moment of silence, a purple-red lightning fell from the sky.

The thunder full of destructive meaning instantly hit the center of the stone platform, wrapping Achilles completely in it.

It seemed like just a breath, and it seemed like a long time had passed. No one knew how much time had passed at this moment.

With a few exceptions, almost no one could see what the chained Xingtai looked like.

They could only feel a cold and constant power that seemed to flash for a moment, followed by an almost inaudible roar.

"Is this... dead?"

On the previous hilltop, Hestia asked subconsciously.

"Of course... not."

After a moment of silence, Hera said expressionlessly.

"Then you..."

"Of course I'm watching."

Hera spoke lightly and then kept silent.

Failure, indeed.

Ares is not her. Even if he can use the stolen thunder with the connection between father and son, he can't really use the power of its authority.

However, in the brief collision just now, Hera also saw the reality of the power of the Styx.

This power is indeed powerful, especially the connection with the origin of the underworld makes it have a kind of essence that the gods can't reach.

But this is not the underworld after all, so she can solve this human without Zeus's personal action.

As long as she uses the authority of the Queen of Heaven to cut off the connection between the sacred mountain and the underworld, she can use the [Thunder Arrow] to gradually wear away the opponent's Styx power... However, Hera does not intend to do so, at least not now.

After all, Ares, this fool, dared to steal the power of his mother goddess for a woman who never took him seriously.

"Bitch, after dealing with Athena, you will be the next one!"

Although she did not say it, Hera's eyes had become dangerous.

Aphrodite... You will not be so proud forever.

·······

"Is he dead?"

On the chair covered with flowers and gems, Aphrodite also asked.

However, no one present could give her an answer.

Until time passed by minute by minute, when the thunder and lightning lingering in the field finally dissipated, the gods saw the scene inside.

There were no ashes, no broken limbs, but only Achilles' mocking smile.

"God King..."

"That's it?!"

"Hahahahaha..."

The wanton laughter echoed in the sky. At this moment, the filter of the so-called God King was instantly shattered.

Achilles always thought that Zeus's power was so strong, but he didn't expect it to be just like this.

The thunder that could destroy the earth turned out to be unable to do anything to his immortal body!

Ka--

Ka-ka---

With the force of his arms, the chains on his body gradually showed a tendency to break.

Even though this was a chain specially prepared to bind the gods, it became fragile under the alternation of lightning and the cold and heat of the Styx.

And watching this scene, Aphrodite, who had been patient for a whole day, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She stood up suddenly, looking at Ares with angry eyes.

Sure enough, this guy couldn't do anything well... Fortunately, she knew this a long time ago!

"Aphrodite, listen to me. I mentioned this to the Mother Goddess..."

"That's enough. I don't need her to clean up the insults I've suffered!"

After abrupt interruption, Aphrodite turned around and looked directly at Hephaestus, who was watching the show on the side.

The God of Craftsmen was not embarrassed, but just smiled back.

"Hephaestus, I agree to your request. But you can start what you promised me now."

"Of course, no problem, but to ensure that everything goes well, I think I may need a little help."

Nodding in agreement, Hephaestus tapped the armrest.

The suspended golden chair lifted his short stature and flew up, landing beside Ares.

"I wonder if you can give me some of the stolen...borrowed thunder power?"

"I have controlled many flames before, but I have never used the thunder and fire of the God King."

"You, when did you..."

Somewhat surprised, more at a loss, Ares had no idea when Aphrodite had an 'agreement' with the God of Craftsman.

However, before he could say anything, the goddess of beauty looked at him sideways.

"Give it to him, since you are useless, I can only find someone else to help."

"I...Okay."

Gritting his teeth, Ares nodded and agreed.

"But Aphrodite, you have to tell me what you are going to do, right?"

"It's very simple."

Aphrodite didn't say anything, but Hephaestus took the initiative to explain.

"You see, you can't catch this mortal, my golden net has caught him."

"So she naturally wants me to solve the problem you can't solve."

"As for the method... This is not what I thought, but she took the initiative to ask."

"Her Highness Aphrodite believes that since the Styx is an underground river, its power should be restrained by the sun in the sky."

"Since the power of one day cannot wear it out, then use the long-term power of the gods to fight it."

"So she asked me to take action, borrowed the temple of the sun god as a venue, and used the sun fire on the chariot to temper the mortal's body... Of course, if thunder and fire can be added as a companion, it will be perfect."

"The reason why gods are gods is that we have authority and eternal life."

"If one day doesn't work, then ten days, if ten days don't work, then a hundred days."

"Unless Styx's power in the underworld can continue to be consumed like this, one day, this mortal will be refined by me.

"His body will be cast into an artifact, and his soul will be imprisoned in it... From then on, it will not change for ten thousand years, until the end of eternity. "

Hephaestus was quite interested in this matter even without Aphrodite's reward.

It was a rare opportunity to forge a human puppet using the power of the Styx.

Now that he had a chance to try it, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
