Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

Apollo smiled confidently, began to exert force, his arm muscles bulged, and he lifted them upwards.

Then, nothing happened.

The water surface continued to vibrate at the same frequency, just like the fish tearing at the hook below, a precisely controlled machine still exerting force according to a pre-set program.

The moment Apollo was humiliated, he unleashed his psychic power. His long, golden hair, brighter than gold itself, covered the surroundings and emitted a huge, visible ball of light.

It temporarily blinded the people around it.

The next moment, Apollo's psychic powers noticed the anomaly in the water; that too was psychic power.

It is also gold, but the color is a bit duller, closer to pure gold.

Damn it, it's Neos!

Almost the instant Apollo saw the other's psychic energy, he realized who was causing trouble underwater!

As expected of you, you guessed long ago that I would come all the way to Athens to find you after noticing the strange changes in the Aegean Sea.

Knowing that he would impart his skills to mortals, did he deliberately hide in the water to create an anomaly and embarrass himself?

Apollo was furious, but fortunately he was able to instantly emit light, interrupting the other mortals from witnessing his humiliating scene.

This was a tactic they had developed long ago, back when they were still in cahoots with Neos.

Only Poseidon didn't care much about face or this.

Apollo submerged his light in the water, leaving the darkness nowhere to hide, which perfectly revealed Neos, whose face was covered with seaweed.

"You little rascal! You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Anda was also taken aback. Holy crap, how did the unlucky guy end up being an old friend? This is too much of a coincidence.

He didn't panic. He rushed out of the water, grabbed the fish in his hand, and threw it at Apollo, hitting him squarely in the face.

This is mainly thanks to his previous fish-throwing battle with Aaron, which made him very adept at it.

Anda laughed loudly, "My good son! What brings you here!"

The bet remains in effect after the father-son victory in the last match.

Apollo ripped the innocent fish off his face and began to berate him:

“The commotion on the Aegean coast was so great that I could see it clearly from Crete. Moreover, when I arrived, I found no trace of Poseidon at all; it seemed as if he had been completely stripped away.”

"You bastard, what did you do to Poseidon?!"

Anda had already pounced from the water, and the two began to wrestle and fight. However, Apollo was not good at close combat and was suppressed by Anda.

Anda chuckled and said:

“Your movements are not even comparable to those of a mortal playwright, who followed us all the way from the Aegean port to Athens. You are almost a week behind.”

“Poseidon, don’t worry. There was a little accident. He was sent to 30,000 years in the future. My future son will take care of him in his old age, and there’s a warp god chasing after him. He’s living a very good life.”

Apollo tried his best to punch his old friend's face, which was thicker than a city wall:

"How dare you say such things! Don't you know what kind of monsters are in the warp?! You've seen those demons, why do you still think there's anything good in there!"

Anda frowned and gripped Apollo's throat with both hands:

“I admit that I used to think that way, or rather, until some point in the future, I always thought that way. But things are different now, alas, it’s impossible to explain to you mortal immortals.”

Currently, only Olpeson and Poseidon, who was forced to learn the secret, know Anda's true identity.

Apollo and others were unable to transcend the limitations of time to know the future.

Therefore, their impression of Anda was still based on the image of "Nios".

Anda easily subdued Apollo and then carried him on his back.

He's too weak. Zeus was able to win against his father and son because the other immortals simply couldn't defeat him.

Poseidon was quicker to adapt to changing circumstances and secured the position of Zeus's brother.

At this moment, the initial light magic finally dissipated, and people were able to see a man with a waterweed-covered beard and hair leading the handsome man back into the water.

He was also shouting the name "Apollo".

I understand, the river god has come to seek revenge on Apollo.

So, they really did receive the miracle of Apollo personally teaching them fishing skills!

Zeus above, it seems they need to find a temple of Apollo to offer a sacrifice.

As for what suffering Apollo himself would endure as the river god carried him into the river with a sneer, it was beyond the comprehension of these mortals.

Chapter 181 A Day in Athens, Anglon (3K)

Meanwhile, the river god, taking advantage of Apollo's inattention while he was fishing, used a trick to drag Apollo into the river, and the rest is history.

Anyway, these fishermen were quite happy, and they embellished the miracles they had witnessed that day and told everyone they met in the city about them.

Across all walks of life, in taverns and markets, the story of Apollo being framed by the river god spread.

Hayes, meanwhile, was tidying up his tavern tables and chairs, looking somewhat sullen, showing little interest in the newly fabricated myths about Apollo.

The information that Aaron brought back earlier, about the intelligent being with a brain, was plotting to skin him alive, and even triggered the blessing of the God of War, only to be killed by the blacksmith, has been confirmed.

The blacksmith in question had hair, but according to popular belief, he was a bald killer with a large red mark on one side of his face.

None of that matters. What matters is whether a person with innate wisdom has truly mastered some strange miracle.

Just like their faith in the sea god, they are full of energy and only sleep a few hours a day.

It even involves the blessing of the God of War, that terrifying combat and killing ability.

In other words, the gods in the heavens may have already intervened in the disputes that preceded the start of this Olympic Games.

They will send down miracles to give their followers an advantage.

That's right, so the latest story circulating today about Apollo appearing in Athens can be explained.

The gods are taking human form and arriving in Athens.

So why would only Athena's followers think of skinning someone alive?

Sacrifice?

Athena has no need for such bloody sacrifices.

What would they need human skin for?

Hayes couldn't understand it, but he kept cleaning the tavern. When he looked up, he saw Aaron holding a child, with Marum following behind.

Thankfully, Anda, who loves to talk nonsense, isn't here today.

"Welcome, Aaron. Drinks are free for everyone. However, we don't recommend giving alcohol to children."

Hayes greeted them warmly. Contrary to Aaron's expectations of the intelligence's value, the Sea God's followers considered the information about the intelligence within the skull wanting human skin to be extremely important.

It might even involve a conspiracy against the Athenian archon.

The two sides were collaborators not long ago, but the wisdom within their minds inevitably led them to target the ruler.

Hayes was now convinced that these men who had begun to use bloody methods had completely turned their backs on Athena's faith.

We're about to start defiling this city!

Their wisdom is only for creating chaos; it is nothing but scheming and trickery!

Aaron returned the greeting politely, picked up Angron, and chose a corner seat, while Marum sat on the outer edge.

"Mr. Hayes, no alcohol today, just some normal food will do."

“My father went out, so we’re just having dinner today.”

Hayes warmly welcomed them and asked with a hint of doubt, "It seems I misunderstood Mr. Anda. So he's the one who cooks at your house."

Aaron shook his head and said, "No, it's just that he's not home, so we're going out for a nice meal."

Hayes understood, laughed heartily, and then looked at Angron, who was curiously looking around, and asked:

"Who is this? Your brother? Or the child of your relatives in Athens? I don't recall Anda mentioning that he had any other sons."

Aaron proudly held up Angron's hands, one on each side:

“This is my younger brother, his name is Anglong. Sigh, he was entrusted to care for outside by our father, and we only brought him back today.”

Hayes reached out and teased Angron's little hand, a gesture that seemed to be a natural human instinct towards offspring.

"Haha, I hope he's not Anda's illegitimate child. To be honest, Aaron, I think your father is capable of a lot of outrageous things. Please forgive my offense."

Aaron didn't find it offensive, but Marum found it hard to accept.

However, this is already a huge improvement. If Hayes had heard these words when he first arrived in this timeline, he would have crushed his head.

He's only slightly on edge now, but he's already quite composed.

He had no choice but to eat in silence, and took out a full set of towels prepared for Angron from his personal bag to make it easier for Angron to eat.

Hayes instructed the kitchen to bring up a few dishes. There weren't many customers at the moment, so he moved a chair over and sat down, looking slightly worried, as if he wanted to find someone to confide in about his recent troubles.

In his view, Aaron was an excellent person to confide in.

“Aaron, I still feel something is off. What would a person with intelligence in their head need human skin for? That behavior is too bloody, it’s like the behavior of savages in a barbaric region. They are treating their own kind as livestock!”

Aaron placed Angron on the table and let him choose his own food, replying as he did so:

"Perhaps it is a more terrifying perspective than viewing them as livestock, Mr. Hayes. Imagine if a person viewed his fellow human beings as tools, clothes, or other things that could be worn out and used."

"Once a tool is worn out, if it is not worth repairing, it can only be discarded. At the same time, tools are created only to serve the purpose they were originally made for."

Hayes gasped, his face filled with horror:

"How...how could you have such a thought! You mean, they want human skin, not for bloody sacrificial rituals, nor to satisfy some kind of bloodlust!"

"How could such a terrible idea exist in this world? What kind of tool could human skin be used for?"

"If human skin can be used as a tool, then what purpose is this tool intended to serve! Zeus, what kind of evil mind could conceive of such an act!"

Marum, on the other hand, found it quite commonplace; in the future, human skin play would be considered a relatively minor form of corruption within the Empire.

Only people of this era would find it hard to accept after hearing about it.

But why did Aaron say those words? Was he subtly mocking His Majesty's remarks?
