Chapter 597 597. Roguelike Mode: The Twelve Gods of Olympus

Facing the former God of War and now the God of Hope, Mo Hao's body slightly hunched.

His muscles were tense, and every beat of his heart sent power to his whole body. When facing Kratos, Mo Hao almost ignited his primordial fire.

“A spark of hope.”

Kratos seemed to have discovered something and leaned back in his chair, "Relax, now is not the time for you and me to fight."

Not yet, does that mean I really have to fight this guy later?

Thinking of this, Mo Hao couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and he even thought about taking the opportunity to launch an attack first.

But this thought was well suppressed.

Kratos is a seasoned warrior, and he is not someone who will be at a disadvantage if he attacks first.

"I heard that a trial is needed here." Mo Hao looked at the surrounding environment. Except for the light where Kratos was, the surroundings were pitch black and nothing could be seen.

"That's how it is." Kratos nodded, "Fight with me. If you can hold on to a certain level, you will pass the level, and then I will reward you accordingly."

It sounds like Kratos hasn't done anything for a long time, and his body is almost rusted. Finally, he had to issue a task called "Trial" which is actually "Rehabilitation Training".

but……

Mo Hao knew that the other party was about to start saying "but". He had heard countless similar sentence patterns.

"But..." Kratos stood up, the God of Hope walked in front of Mo Hao and looked at him carefully, "I have another idea now."

For a moment, Mo Hao thought of Zeus's sexual preferences for both men and women, but he quickly came to his senses.

Zeus might not be particular about gender, but the man in front of him had married and had children for the second time, and had squeezed out red souls so many times from slave girls, brothels, and the bed of the god of love. It was 100% certain that Kratos was heterosexual and had no sexual interest in the same sex.

But even so, Mo Hao's mood did not improve much, because he knew very well that many times the underlying meaning of "having another idea" was to have a more troublesome idea.

Unfortunately, Mo Hao was the one being tormented.

"Perhaps I can give you two options."

I don't know if it was because Kratos started talking more after he reconciled with me, or if it was simply because I hadn't spoken for a long time that made him less frugal with his words.

He held up a finger, "One, just like before, spar with me, and in the end, you will be paid according to my satisfaction."

Then he raised another finger, "For the other one, you choose it yourself."

"Choose a certain period of time in my past and go through the things I've experienced. What you get from that place depends on your ability, and I can say that everything you get is genuine."

Mo Hao fell silent, looking at Kratos quietly, thinking rapidly in his mind.

Thinking about what the second option actually means, and also thinking about the difference between this option and the first one.

The first option is undoubtedly to fight Kratos, but now he has completed the reconciliation with himself. He is both the God of War and the God of Hope, so he will most likely not kill him completely.

But from the words, it seems that the reward for this option is also based on his level of satisfaction.

In other words, Mo Hao had no choice as to the reward, it all depended on Kratos' own ideas.

In this way, there is basically no need to consider how many artifacts Kratos has on him.

The Twin Blades of Chaos and the Axe of Leviathan, one is a pair of blades bound to Kratos' soul, and the other is a relic left by his deceased wife.

Apart from these two, Kratos has very limited things left, and they are not irreplaceable to Mo Hao.

As for the second option, Mo Hao directly changed it to a language that he could understand.

That is to let him choose any one of the "God of War" series, including but not limited to the spin-offs, and experience the same things as Kratos. The disadvantage of this choice is that it is full of difficulties and he has to face a lot of gods targeting him.

The advantage is that Mo Hao knows the weaknesses of those gods and can obtain their artifacts.

One has few rewards but is safe, the other has rich rewards but is dangerous.

This didn't require much thought at all. Mo Hao answered without hesitation, "I choose the second one."

Danger and safety are relative, and the most important thing is whether the reward is what you need.

Obviously, compared to the remaining stock in Kratos' hands, it is more suitable for Mo Hao to obtain the artifacts of the Olympian gods.

"Exactly what I thought."

Kratos' beard moved, and it was unclear whether he was laughing. He suddenly stretched out his hands and pushed Mo Hao away.

Mo Hao only felt that his body was suspended in the air and his feet suddenly lost weight, but he quickly came to his senses and stabilized his body with a heavy weight.

Then he saw it.

I saw the towering Mount Olympus and the gods sitting in the Pantheon on the top of the mountain, and I also knew what to do next.

Climb up Mount Olympus and eliminate the twelve gods.

Bad news, we have to deal with the Twelve Olympians.

The good news is, you only have to deal with them one at a time.

It is not known how Kratos recreated the gods of Olympus, but it is clear that he also recreated their arrogance.

The gods are too proud to join forces to deal with Mo Hao.

Kratos even kindly reminded him that not all gods on Mount Olympus were his enemies, and that help could be sought in some places as long as he could find it.

"Okay, Roguelike mode."

Although he said so, Mo Hao did not dare to guarantee that he could be resurrected after dying at the hands of the Lord God.

After all, Kratos is a god of war, not a babysitter, so he will never waste his energy to support him.

If Mo Hao had the request to strengthen the twelve gods, Kratos would be able to agree.

As soon as they took the first step onto Mount Olympus, some of the twelve gods began to act.

A huge figure fell from the sky, and at the same time, his body rapidly grew larger, turning into a giant hundreds or thousands of feet tall and appearing in front of him.

Ares, the god of war.

"Ha, there's something I've always wanted to know."

The God of War Ares did not listen to Mo Hao's question. He directly raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down towards Mo Hao. To him, Mo Hao was nothing more than an arrogant person who defiled the sanctity of Olympus and must be punished with death.

Beyond that, he didn't deserve any answers.

Just as the greatsword was about to chop down, the God of War Ares felt something was wrong. It was not the feeling of splitting the earth, nor was it the feeling of splitting flesh and blood.

With one hand, he steadily blocked the blade of the god of war, and at the same time, an extremely powerful force pushed Ares's sword away.

Mo Hao, who had also transformed into a thousand-foot-tall giant, pinched Ares' neck with his right hand and lifted him up. "I'm curious. The death of every main god will bring about a huge disaster."

"So what kind of disaster will the death of the God of War bring?"
