To be king [Greek mythology]

on an isolated island.

"See where the golden apples are?" Thurps asked.

Hercules nodded, "On the high slope in the center of the island."

"Do you think you can get it?" Thurps was full of expectations—after all, he was the hero who killed Hydra and the Caucasus Condor, and it would definitely be possible to kill Radon.

When Hercules heard this, he was dumbfounded.

He turned to look at Thurps, "I thought that as a prophet, you should have a less labor-intensive way of what you need."

"I think it's the least effort for you to go up." Thurps honestly confessed his thoughts.

Hercules shook the three blades that Thurpus had thrust directly into him on the road.

"…" Thurps glared at him.

Hercules grinned brightly, "I remember what you said before, but I forgot, and I don't mind if you say it again."

"Not too far from here," said Surpus, "there is a giant with the sky on his back, Atlas. You know, giants generally have bad brains, and we can use him."

"I thought you were a kind prophet." Hercules sighed.

"I have to satisfy myself before I can be kind to others." Thurps said bluntly, even Prometheus did the same at the beginning.

Hercules felt that what Thurps said was quite reasonable. Although some views were different from what he generally recognized, it had a special charm when he thought about it carefully.

I always think it's wrong, but I don't know how to refute it.

"Then let's go find him." Hercules was quite curious about giants, especially the giant with the sky on its back.

Surpus' eyes turned in one direction unconsciously - the place was obscured by the towering cliffs, but when Surpus just flew past, he discovered it with a glimpse, the dark place, It smells of death and despair.

The bay where the entrance to Hades is located is not far from them.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." Thurps said, holding the luck of trying, and took the three blades from Hercules' hand. Before Hercules could react, he When it refers to something, it soars into the sky and flies towards the bay.

The entrance to Netherland was as gloomy as imagined.

Surpus watched the sea water pouring into the dark entrance, but there was no sound.

The sea water seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, that dark and lifeless place seemed to be waiting for him to step in, and then swallow him in one gulp.

Thurps stopped and floated on the sea, stretched out a foot hesitantly, and stepped into the dark and dark place.

The angry roar of the monster came from the darkness, like the roar of a lion and the bark of a dog could be vaguely discerned.

The roar was full of warning, and Thurpus had no doubt that if he really stepped into the underworld, the frightening watchdog of the underworld, Cerberus, would pounce on him and bite him to pieces.

Surpus withdrew his feet and stood silently at the gate of Netherland for a long time, but he never waited for Minos.

Instead, there was a breath of death all around, and Surps knew that it was emanating from the undead who had been extradited into Netherland.

He eventually left.

And Minos, at the moment, is squatting beside Themis, the goddess of justice, and the three Furies, earnestly learning how to measure the crimes, good and evil of each undead.

The God of Death stood not far from him, opened his eyes after Surpus left, and looked at the meticulous Minos with complicated eyes.

It's such a blessing to have someone who cares so much about himself.

Thanadus thought of his brother, and then set his eyes on Minos.

There is such a little bit of jealousy.

Chapter 54

Hercules was a little surprised when he heard Thurpus say that the object of his love letter was in Hades.

But seeing Thurpus heading straight for the entrance of Netherland, he immediately had no doubts in his heart—he even thought that Thurpus could really bring something out of Netherland this time.

Whether you know someone who will be favored by the prophet, it should be an eye-opener.

It's a pity that Thurpus came back alone empty-handed, and it seemed that he didn't really enter the underworld.

"What's the matter?" Hercules asked, the prophet who had been standing firm and straight looked a little lost at the moment.

"I don't dare to fight Cerberus in such a dark Netherland." Thurpus shrugged, saying that if he couldn't beat him, he was blind enough to walk in Netherland, " Creatures without divinity cannot see everything in the Netherland, unless they have the guidance and help of the gods."

Hercules can see the situation in the underworld, because even if he has a false godhead, he is still tainted with divinity.

"So you didn't go in?" Hercules didn't mean to laugh, but he still had a bit of ridicule.

"En." Thurps admitted generously, and then seemed to have figured it out, with a touch of ease in his tone, "He's not someone who would worry me."

Hercules looked at Thurps and shook his head: "Tsk tsk."

"He never broke his promise to me." Thurps said, grabbing Hercules' arm and flying up, his tone was still full of joy: "I made an appointment with him, and when I become stronger with him go back."

"go back?"

"Go to Crete." Thurps paused, then waved his hand aggressively, "Then conquer the world!"

Hercules was speechless for a while, "It's quite a lofty ideal."

"The ideal has to be a little bit bigger." Thurps smiled, "Otherwise, it can be achieved with a little effort. That is not an ideal, it is just a small and short-term goal."

Hercules felt himself about to succumb again to Thurpus' inexplicable pinch.

He still felt...it seemed quite reasonable.

Anyway, he couldn't refute it.

The giant Atlas with the blue sky on his back is the second-generation Titan of the same generation as Prometheus.

Prometheus knew a lot about these Titans—in other words, about their intelligence.

As the only god of wisdom who symbolizes "foresight" in the second generation of Titans, Prometheus felt quite lonely for a long time, especially when his brother was still a stupid "hindsight" , Prometheus felt even more lonely.

So later Prometheus left his brother and began to travel around, and met many people. He met more than a dozen second-generation Titans, but he could count the ones who could talk to him with a slap.

Thurps can also guess that the reason why Prometheus asked Hercules to go to Atlas to get the golden apple is because these places are very close, and the second is because Atlas is really It's so easy to fool.

"Is that Atlas?" Hercules asked.

He and Surpus stood on a gentle grassland with no slope. The flowers on the grass were blooming vigorously, and the colorful dots on the grass looked particularly fresh and beautiful.

In front of them stood a towering mountain.

"Yes." Thurps looked up at the mountain in front of him.

"It's a mountain—a mountain range behind it!" Hercules thinks you're definitely kidding me.

"Atlas is a giant." Thurps raised his head, squinted his eyes and searched around, then pulled Hercules, pointed to a particularly round and smooth rock, "kick, hard A bit."

"What?" Hercules looked at Thurps suspiciously.

I always feel Thurps is up to no good.

"Kick as long as you want." Thurps said, taking a few steps back.

Hercules looked around and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he stopped Thurpus and kicked him hard.

To his surprise, the rock didn't break into several pieces—it was kicked away.

Unexpectedly, the whole mountain shook because of the movement of this rock.

Hercules was taken aback.

However, the shaking stopped for a moment.

Hercules breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, before the breath was over, the ground began to shake in this place!

A huge and sharp rock fell from the sky, and Hercules had no doubt that if the rock hit him, he would turn into a puddle of flesh.

When he looked back, he didn't find Surpus, so he turned around and left this dangerous place without hesitation.

Thurpus flew in mid-air, not at all worried that Hercules would die when the ground was shaking.

With the kick of Hercules just now, the giant Atlas, who was carrying the blue sky sleeper on his back, woke up from his long sleep, moved his body covered with various plants and rocks, and supported the sky Gradually stand up from a sitting position.

Surpus looked up at the sky and felt that the sky was not shaking.

At this time, it is the group of gods who feel the deepest.

Mount Olympus.

Zeus sat on his throne and opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on Atlas in a blink of an eye.

The all-knowing and omnipotent father of the gods watched for a while, and he understood the cause and effect a little bit.

Thurps, a human being, he doesn't want to control and doesn't care about it. Athena has asked for full authority to deal with Prometheus's affairs, and Zeus, who trusts Athena quite a lot, will not intervene. It's just a human being who is loyal to Prometheus and has such a special personality, not worthy of his attention as the king of the gods.

But Hercules was a child he liked very much.

The people around the child, Zeus was also happy to give him a look.

But this attention, Zeus was stunned.

The king of the gods can hear from all sides of the earth
