Chapter 107 Zero Behemoth
You Greeks really are the ones who care the most about your own reputation.

This is quite normal. If people from before the Han Dynasty could travel to the modern era, most of them would probably first check how they would be regarded in later generations, and only then would they care about the history that follows them.

The Age of Gods in Greece roughly corresponds to the Shang Dynasty, as both civilizations seem to have existed during the Age of Gods, and it seems that the Age of Gods disappeared around the same time.

A strange coincidence.

Without saying a word, Xue Dinglu picked up his phone, searched for "Hercules," and handed it to Hercules.

Then, in an instant, he saw Hercules display an expression that read "Subway, Old Sea, Cellphone.JPG".

Xue's Law looked at it... uh...

They're all white-haired loli girls named "Ilya"...

"I made a mistake, let me search again..." This time, when Xue Law searched for "Hercules of Greece", he finally found a proper introduction and evaluation from later generations.

After Hercules finished reading, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems he was quite satisfied with his reputation in later generations; in fact, when he saw the phrase "one of the most famous heroes in the world," his smile was even more pronounced than an AK.

Hmm, I'll show him a classic Hollywood movie, Black Hercules, sometime when I'm bored...

Let's see if Hercules can still keep his composure.

He wanted to see Hercules' expression, that expression that was difficult to maintain but had to keep up.

After a long silence, Hercules returned the phone to Xue Dinglu and asked, "Is that child, the child named Ilya, still alive?"

Xue Law: “???”

You, Hai Dali with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also become obsessed with anime?
"What do you want to do?"

“She is qualified to be my adopted daughter.”

Xue Law: "..."

Take my advice: you've been ruined by the white-haired guy all your life. Stop being obsessed with him.

No longer dwelling on the fact that Hai Dali became obsessed with anime and manga 3000 years after arriving, he began to tell Hercules all the information he had gathered.

"What to do? Kill his whole family, or kill everyone connected to him?" Hercules's question silenced the world.

Xue Law: "..."

Perhaps this is the true worldview of people in ancient times.

It took Xue's Law a long time to explain the current social environment to Hercules. After a moment's thought, Hercules asked, "Are all the people here Athenians?"

Xue Law: “???”

"In my memory, only the Athenians would establish so many rules, but you have established far more rules than Athens." He spoke frankly, and if it weren't for the fact that Xue and his group were clearly not Mediterranean, he would have thought he was in Athens in the future.

This made Xue's Law feel that the Greeks were a bit too extreme.

Perhaps in that primitive era, people with this mindset were more likely to live longer and live a more fulfilling life.

However, he felt he should still teach Haidila a little something else...

“No, you’re going too far. We just need a mild, punitive insult to extract information,” Xue Dinglu said calmly.

“An insult? Sildileus, you’re too kind.” Hercules finally sighed.

He felt that Xue Dinglu was good in every way, except that he was too kind, and that such a person would suffer losses.

"How to insult?" Hercules then asked.

Xue Dinglu remained silent, took out his phone, and began searching...

Ultimate insult...

……

Above Jiangcheng, a figure clad in pure white armor, resembling a Kamen Rider from a tokusatsu drama, stood atop the city's skyscrapers.

His white coat fluttered in the wind as he looked at the city, a city far more prosperous than he could have ever imagined, and murmured to himself.

“Xercyrus, you’re going a bit too far…”

Hercules, in the form possessed by the bird-man A.

Not only that, he also carried a cell phone with him. Xue Lude asked him to investigate the matter, and similarly, he could do whatever he wanted with his cell phone in his spare time.

Even his favorite white-haired loli characters, Xue's Law ultimately did not prohibit them.

After reading the ultimate insult, Hercules remained silent for a long time.

In Greece, the most immoral thing is to insult someone's reputation, and the second most immoral thing is to ruin someone's sexual function...

The ultimate insult was an act of utter depravity, one that even the most despicable Odysseus could not have conceived of such a disgusting form of torture.

Even Hercules, living in the barbaric, godlike Greece where nothing seemed to exist but killing and tendon-wielding, felt that this ultimate insult was a bit too extreme.

Looking at the bustling traffic below, he had already begun his investigation. Just as Xue Dinglu had predicted, those who came to cause trouble at his doorstep were just low-level thugs, who had taken a few hundred dollars from their superiors and then came to disgust people.

His superior was a local middleman who specialized in reselling. The middleman received tens of thousands of yuan, and the payer was a certain non-governmental rights protection organization.

The non-governmental organization was just a middleman; they had received hundreds of thousands of yuan from a foreign company executive and wanted to teach Xue a lesson.

The foreign company executive was also a middleman. He received several million dollars from a DXI organization in exchange for solving Schrödinger's Law, or at least crippling it if he couldn't solve it.

The DXI organization was also an intermediary; they received five million US dollars from the CIA to conduct external interference and promote political correctness...

The CIA was merely an intermediary; they received 2000 million in funding from their superiors to conduct certain forms of interference overseas…

Hercules: "..."

What? What are all these?

What the heck? Can you people from later generations make things this abstract?
It's just killing someone, why go through all these layers of exploitation, leaving the underlings with only a few hundred or a thousand dollars in the end, and then all they do is splash dog blood at people's doorsteps.

Who should I take revenge on? Should I just go to the White House and give that president, who can't even control his sphincter, a final, humiliating beating?

Hercules looked at the investigation in his hand, along with the information obtained from a little bit of Greek magic, and fell into deep thought.

Who am I? What am I supposed to do? Whom should I insult?
I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!

Standing on the rooftop, feeling the cold wind, Hercules fell silent, wondering which of these people he should strike hard against.
Forget it, let's target the most nonsensical DXI organization instead. After all, everyone else is just doing things for money, while they're openly targeting Xue's Law.

Also, since things have come to this, let's play the game first.

Hercules opened his phone and found a game icon featuring a blonde woman wearing a crown.

Not a dog! Start!
……

After Xue handed it over to Hercules, he didn't care about it at all.

He believed in Ahai's abilities; even someone from ancient times could quickly adapt to the modern environment and begin his investigation.

After all, what he needed to focus on more was either Lieutenant Robert's world or the data of his edited version of "Skyfall 2".

As a result, it became a hit.

It was even more popular than the first one because some incredibly talented netizen created a meme of the elf girl Annie turning into an insect.

As a result, even before the show became popular, this meme image went viral on major platforms and forums both domestically and internationally.

It can be said that the number of times and the speed at which this meme has spread has far exceeded the total number of views of all related videos of "Tian Ting Ji", and it has continued to become the cyber Genghis Khan of the Internet in an even more indescribable and abstract way.

Although Xue Dinglu lives in the information age, he genuinely doesn't know what abstract reason could possibly make his film a hit...

However, at the same time, a large number of negative reviews and posts attacking "Tian Ting Ji" also appeared on the Internet.

It's nothing more than disrespect for minority groups, gender discrimination, and accusations of plagiarism.

Hmm, they say the Greek heroes are a rip-off of characters from a certain Japanese anime, the character designs are almost identical... Xue's Law: emm...

They also accused the plot of Sword of Chosen of being a rip-off of another Japanese anime, claiming that the entire storyline was identical when compared side-by-side.

Xue's Law: emm...

They also claimed that the blessing of the Holy Sword of Salvation was plagiarized from a certain hero anime, both of which have 13 blessings.

Xue's Law: emm...

Legendary King Arthur: Kids, I have no objections...

Even a large group of film critics and professors personally stepped down to criticize The Legend of the Condor Heroes, claiming that the show's popularity was due to the audience's poor taste.

However, all of these posts were deleted that night, and the account owner also deleted the account and ran away, because even more explosive information emerged.

The following is a list of individuals or groups supported by a certain DXI organization, along with details of how funds were used…

Posted by: Hercules is the strongest hero

This night can be described as the pinnacle of internet gossip and entertainment. The news that broke that night shocked the entire internet and even alarmed more terrifying organizations.

Those who were just posting hateful comments are running away faster than the next one, as if they're afraid of being too slow to stop and having their crimes recorded.

Their actions seemed to say, "We're so sorry that our negative comments didn't even get you to use your full strength."

However, the trigger for all of this was simply because a young man who had been charged a thousand yuan for a firecracker threw a bowl of dog blood in front of a college student's door...

Today's trending topics:
1. A bill for 2000 million yuan in expenditures? List of overseas organizations and their expenditures exposed.

2. "The Legend of the Heavenly Kings 2" continues to be a huge hit.

3. Teacher Wang confessed the reasons for the divorce to reporters.

……

Xue Law no longer pays attention to abstract messages on the internet, even those that involve a lot of criticism directed at him.

It doesn't really matter whether he's criticized or not; his original intention in posting the video was simply to generate buzz for the Greek heroes.

Whether it's a negative or genuine fame doesn't matter. The Greek heroes only wanted fame and for more people to remember their names. They naturally liked good fame, and they probably didn't mind bad fame either.

In short, the more people criticize Xue's theory, the more beneficial it is.

If he hadn't been the one whose identity was revealed, he might have even personally joined in the gossip.

I tossed my phone aside, closed my eyes, and prepared to revisit Lieutenant Robert's dream.

"Goodnight, world," he said, and instantly drifted off to sleep.

A world where giant beasts and humans live.

Lieutenant Robert accepted the development team's invitation to participate in the experiment.

After that, the memory of this part was very vague, but Xue could only vaguely see the injection of serum, the pilot's struggle, and the endless pain that came over him.

Beneath his pale skin, his fingers gripped the bulkhead weakly, his knuckles white from excessive force, and there were bite marks on the edges of his nails.

That kind of pain was like a deep wound, reaching straight to the soul.

However, the man's will persisted. Even in the most painful moments, he was able to persevere by looking at photos of his wife and son.

He firmly believed that this experiment was for the future of humanity, for the sake of the whole world...

To wield the power of a behemoth with a human body.

To pave a new future for humanity...

However, a few months later, everyone in the laboratory was slaughtered. Twisted, monstrous creatures killed everyone in the laboratory and ate all the flesh and organs of the giant beasts used in the experiments...

Robert, the former pilot, was eating rats one by one in the sewers like a dark rat. Now, his face was covered in scales, making him look like a demon.

His body was incredibly hungry; the insatiable thirst for energy compelled him to devour more creatures and plunder more energy...

Especially, my fellow countrymen, it's delicious...

Upon seeing this, Xue's Law had already closed his eyes.

He understood everything now. Truly, what a tragic man…

However, the lieutenant withstood the hunger and, after eating tens of thousands of rats, secretly escaped to the outskirts of the city through the sewers, where he began to plunder without restraint.

At this moment, he was already five meters tall, and no human form could be seen.

The higher-ups realized they had created a real man-made behemoth and were ecstatic. Champagne glittered, and they immediately deployed a large number of people to capture Lieutenant Robert. He was an unparalleled and perfect experimental subject, and the first step in their plan to succeed.

Even Lieutenant Robert has lost his name; he is now known as "Beast Zero".

His wife and children were also taken into custody, becoming his last bargaining chip.

Then, Lieutenant Robert hunted relentlessly, and outside the city, he was like the apex predator in the food chain.

In just a few months, he grew to be over ten meters tall and became a local tyrant outside the city.

As its size increased, its humanity diminished, but even now, in its monstrous form, it still kept a photograph of its wife and children within the scales on its chest.

That was the last bit of humanity he retained.

However, his whereabouts were still discovered by the higher-ups.

Countless fighter jets and tanks surrounded him, and a large number of psionicists also mobilized to capture him as an experimental subject, the human's hope of controlling the behemoth, the Zero Behemoth.

Even the wife of former Lieutenant Robert was flown to the front lines – this was the last step taken by the higher-ups.

At this point, the Zero Beast had reached a terrifying height of 50 meters. A large amount of keratinous material that could be used as weapons had grown on its body. Its scales and muscles were even capable of withstanding the bombardment of giant cannons head-on.

According to the rating criteria of Xue's Law, it has definitely reached the fourth level at this point.

The price, however, was that his human memories and consciousness had been almost entirely devoured by the beast's savagery.

However, human consciousness, though insignificant, can never be completely erased.

After he transforms into a behemoth, how much of his brain, which was so small when he was human, will still be occupied? One percent? One-thousandth?

Under the influence of the incredibly massive beast's instincts, human consciousness was as fragile as paper and was completely crushed.

Although human consciousness is indeed as insignificant as dust, in the end, it is just like that dust—impossible to crush!

The nature of a behemoth can easily crush a person's complete consciousness, just as it can easily crush a stone.

However, once the stone is crushed into dust, no matter how much it is crushed, the dust is still dust. At this moment, human consciousness bursts forth with its greatest emotion and resilience.

Perhaps, after a very long time, decades? Centuries? This behemoth will eventually find some of its memories from its human days, and finally regain that little bit of "humanity".

However, the attack came...

The behemoth roared, and planes and tanks exploded one after another, flames shooting into the sky.

Finally, the behemoth seemed to see a familiar figure, the last image in the indelible human consciousness.

His wife...

On that city wall, he died in a secondary explosion at the ammunition depot.

At this point, the behemoth had finally extinguished the last vestige of humanity within it.

Lieutenant Robert died completely on that battlefield; what survived was a mad behemoth.

Its name is Zero!
