Devouring World Dragon

Goddess of the Hunt?

The goddess's features are very distinctive; the golden bow in her hand and the golden deer pulling her chariot all testify to her identity.

"Artemis? Why has the great Queen of the Hunt come here?"

Hercules stared warily at the goddess before him and called out loudly.

All hunters revere this ruthless and cruel goddess of hunters, because of her power and her cruelty.

The haughty goddess of the hunt scoffed at Hercules's answer, raised her spear, and hurled it at him. The golden spear flew out, but the great hero nimbly dodged it, and it exploded violently on the ground, creating a large crater.

The Hunting Queen's hands never stopped; with a flick of her reins, she propelled the golden deer that seemed to fly through the air to gallop. The chariot roared as it charged forward, and she raised her golden bow to shoot at the great hero.

"Mortal! This is my mount! How dare you hunt it!"

In the distant past, the goddess Artemis once tried to capture five golden deer. Four of them fell into her trap and were used as the mounts of her golden deer chariot. The remaining deer escaped and was known to the world as the Ceryne Red Deer.

Artemis admired the fighting spirit of the Ceryne Red Deer and promised it would not be caught by any hunter. However, it has now been captured by another great human hero.

The golden arrows fell like rain.

Seeing this, the great hero raised a large rock in an attempt to block the arrow, but the rock was shattered almost instantly by the golden arrow.

Enraged by the repeated attacks, the great hero also drew his bow and arrow.

That was the divine bow given to him by Apollo, its arrowhead still stained with the venom of the Hydra, a powerful monster slain by the great hero, whose venom could kill countless people with a single drop. Though not as dazzling as Artemis's golden bow, it was just as dangerous.

He drew back the divine bow, released it, and the arrow shot towards the hunting queen like a meteor.

"Humph!"

The noble yet cruel Queen of the Hunt was also struck in the arm by the arrow, letting out a muffled groan as the hydra's venom took effect. A dark, foul patch spread across her pristine white arm.

Immortal gods will not die from the venom of a monster, but the venom of the Hydra will also torment the immortal deity, causing it unbearable pain.

"Hahaha."

However, Artemis was not angry but pleased. Isn't it more interesting to have prey that struggles?
"Mortal, do you want to fight me? Then let me see if you have the qualifications."

She lowered her head, bit down with her pearly white teeth on the poisoned arrow embedded in her arm, forcibly pulled it out, and spat it out contemptuously. The bleeding wound on her fair arm continued to heal, yet it also festered under the influence of the venom.

The goddess of battle, spear in hand, ignored the pain in her arm and drove her chariot toward the great hero. The charging golden stag was fierce and powerful, dragging the heavy and terrifying chariot along. The cruel goddess brandished her spear, raising it and then bringing it down.

In an instant, a beam of light emanated from the spear's edge, and the great hero only had time to roll away, narrowly avoiding it.

"boom!!!"

The ground was completely different. Any ground that was cut by the light was instantly shattered and cracked, and even the hardest stone could only turn into powder.

"Mortal, come and fight me!"

The goddess drove her chariot, brandishing her spear. Wherever the spear struck, the earth cracked and the wind surged. She roared as she watched the great hero flee in disarray.

madman!

At this moment, the great hero had only one thought in his mind.

This goddess of the hunt was known for her arrogance and belligerence, even among mortals. But the great hero never imagined that his first encounter with her would be a merciless battle.

"Woman, you call yourself the Queen of the Hunt, but you're nothing but a fool who relies on brute force."

After dodging the hunting queen's attack once again in a sorry state, the great hero couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Artemis's beautiful eyes were fixed on the great hero, a cruel smile playing on her lips as she licked her delicate lips.

"Right now, you're the little mouse I'm chasing all over the place."

The golden chariot was swift and agile, both fast and heavy, leaving the great hero with no opportunity to retaliate. Even when he tried to aim his arrow, the hunting queen, having been struck by an arrow, was unusually vigilant and gave the great hero no chance to aim.

How can we defeat this crazy woman?

Having fought to this point, the great hero had completely lost his reverence for the goddess and was only thinking about how to defeat her.

With his eyes fixed on the hunting queen, the goddess swung her spear again, but this time the great hero did not back down or dodge. Instead, he suddenly let go, dropped the spear in his hand, and grabbed it tightly.

Want to wrestle with me?

The goddess looked at the great hero before her with disdain. She was a descendant of the Titans, born with immense strength, and no mortal could possibly contend with her.

But this time she miscalculated.

An indescribable force emanated from the spear, as if the one before her was not a mortal, but a colossus. Even the Titan's daughter could not withstand such force and was forcibly dragged off the chariot.

The moment she was dragged off the chariot, she was met with an ever-growing fist.

"Oh!"

Suddenly everything went black, I felt dizzy, and a sharp pain shot through my face.

The great hero showed no mercy to the woman, his heavy iron fist slamming into the hunting queen's face, nearly knocking her unconscious. Before the goddess could react, the great hero grabbed her long golden hair and dragged her across the filthy ground like a frail woman, no matter how much she struggled.

"Let go... release me..."

The goddess struggled to speak, and the next moment the great hero actually released his grip on the long golden hair.

Before Artemis could even rise, the great hero stomped heavily on the goddess's back, causing her to groan softly. The force was so great that one could hear the cracking sound of the god's bones.

Then, with his large hand gripping the goddess's head tightly, he forced her to turn around. The great hero glared angrily at the goddess and gritted his teeth.

You think you're so great, huh?

Taking a beating without fighting back is not in this great hero's character.

A debt of gratitude must be repaid, and a grudge must be avenged on the spot.

Confident, powerful, tolerant of the weak, yet arrogant towards the strong—this is the character of this great hero. Heracles will not tolerate anyone who tries to gain the respect of a great hero simply because of their own strength.

Artemis gasped for breath; even fallen into the mud, the goddess remained incredibly beautiful.

She stared at the great hero in front of her, her eyes filled with both shame and anger.

"You half-breed bastard..."

Before she could finish speaking, a huge hand on her head shoved her head into the mud and rubbed it hard. The goddess struggled desperately, but she could not break free from that incredibly powerful hand.

"Hahahaha, what did you just say? You called me a mixed-race bastard, huh? And what are you now? You filthy, stinking bitch."

Hercules laughed, his pupils shifting and twisting between the vertical serpentine eyes and the normal human pupils. The serpent's blood brought not only power, but also a touch of recklessness to this great hero.

The great hero lifted the goddess's head, looking at the deity whose face was covered in mud and whose image was completely ruined, and continued to mock her.

"Your noble hunting queen, do you still dare to face those gods now?"

The goddess glared angrily at the great hero and wanted to fight him again.

The great hero was about to say something more, but a sense of danger came over him, and he quickly rolled over to avoid it.

"Oh!"

A golden arrow landed where the great hero had just been standing and exploded instantly.

The great hero recognized this golden arrow, for his divine bow came from the owner of this golden arrow.

A magnificent pillar of light fell to the ground, and as the light faded, it revealed the appearance of a handsome god.

Artemis seized the opportunity to rise, and with a flick of her hand, all the grime on her body vanished, restoring her to her former form as the powerful and beautiful hunting queen. But those angry eyes proved that this was no illusion, and would forever remain in the goddess's memory.

"I'll kill you! You damned mortal, I'll definitely kill you!"

The hunting queen was practically screaming.

Apollo, standing to the side, remained unmoved. Although Heracles had once saved him, he was determined to stand firmly on his sister's side between his sister and his benefactor.

"Hercules, kneel before my sister and beg for her mercy and compassion, and I will plead with her to spare your life."

Apollo spoke.

His voice was light and melodious, like a beautiful song, but cold as ice.

"No, I will never let this mortal go."

The goddess gritted her teeth.

The great hero frowned. Was he really going to have to face two powerful figures at once? This was going to be a tough situation.

His power grew stronger day by day, but even Hercules didn't think he had much hope of directly confronting the two great gods.

Gripping the divine bow tightly in his hand, the great hero had prepared for the worst.

However, at that moment, the weather changed drastically, and the sky suddenly darkened.

"boom!"

In an instant, a white light illuminated the world, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck down from the sky, landing between two gods and a great hero.

"Apollo, Artemis, step back! This is not a world where you can act with impunity!"

The mighty Heavenly Father, the Father of God and Man, could no longer stand idly by. His stern voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, reaching the ears of both Gods and one man.

On the great hero's shoulder, the snake suddenly burst into laughter.

This Heavenly Father had been watching for so long, and he was unwilling to let the plan fail. Even his two beloved children were not as important as this great hero in his eyes.

The two remaining groups are: Group 1 (759282568) and Group 2 (594340906).
