The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Before today, Athena was just a petty Greek goddess. Her thousand-year life consisted of watching heroic tales and stopping the harassment from her father, uncles, brothers, and even her nephews and nieces.

This is the life of Athena, cruel and boring. However, after being filled with a massive amount of information and experiences in just one night, the consciousness of Athena was directly shattered by this information and experience and completely swept into the trash heap.

Especially after directly confronting the vast information of the universe.

She doesn't know who she is now. Is she a female version of Xue's Law? Or is she an integrated personality formed from the experiences of all billions of worlds?

She didn't know, nor did she want to dwell on it. All she wanted to do now was change that child's fate, to die far from home like his teacher.

Such a noble person should not have died in this garbage dump of Greece; that was not the future she wanted.

If Xue's path was to save Greece, which was destined for destruction, then Athena's mission was simply to save this child who had just embarked on his journey.

After saving the world, heroes should also receive the world's redemption.

So she gave divine guidance to all those in Greece who could help, and she also invited each of the gods who could join them in rebelling against Zeus.

Prior to this, she had invited Hercules, the mortal hero who had been elevated to the status of a mighty god, who remained silent for a long time.

Athena chose allies who were at least gods of integrity and honor, and she believed that once Hercules saw this fate, he would surely stand with them.

Whether it was to resist Zeus's destruction of the world or to be moved by the resolve of the hero from another world.

Just as Hercules believed that the destiny bestowed by Athena must be true.

After reading this, Hercules remained silent, his veins bulging and his eyes red. He silently returned to his temple, changed into a golden lion skin and arrows coated with the poison of the Hydra, as if he were ready to kill Zeus right now.

It was Athena's turn to calm this hot-tempered guy down.

Her second ally was Apollo, the Greek god of light and the sun.

Then Apollo fell silent, sitting before his temple as if he were dead.

No, he still had to do something, even if it was just to protect this incomparably beautiful woman—it was a man's resolve!

He didn't remain depressed for long; instead, he immediately abandoned everything he was doing and started calling for reinforcements, just like Athena.

Apollo was about to call upon two people: first, his own sister, the moon goddess Artemis; and second, another man in the cesspool of Greece who was a moral exemplar.

Hades, the god of the underworld!

Since the final battlefield is in the underworld, this Hades will be the last straw that breaks Zeus's back.

And so, Athena was as if she had been ignited by a flame, and with that flame, she began to spread it across the entire continent of Olympus.

……

Thessalonians, the son of Hercules, had arrived in Troy.

He wasn't actually qualified to participate in this war to destroy the gods. Although his father was the famous Hercules, his own strength was only slightly below average. He did not inherit his father's superhuman strength, and he became a hero mainly because of his title as the son of Hercules.

The reason he decided to participate and rush to Troy so quickly was that last night, not only was it a divine revelation from Athena, but his father Hercules also came from Olympus, dragged him out of his bed in the palace, beat him, and made him rush to Troy overnight.

With bruises still on his face from being beaten by his father, Thessalonians was greeted by Hector's men.

In this respect, Hector gave the other heroes who came to participate in the war against the gods a lot of face, because for these heroes, this was basically a path of certain death. Once they boarded the ship to Olympus, no hero would think that they could survive.

After all, the god they were trying to kill was the Heavenly Father.

Thessalonians, respectfully led by the soldiers, saw the hero he had dreamt of the previous night, the one who confronted Zeus on the sea.

Known as the "benevolent hero," Sildenas!

Thessalonians saw the hero who hid most of his face under his hood, and he couldn't help but become curious.

The legendary benevolent hero was a handsome man so striking that even the gods were moved by his beauty. In ancient Greece, where gender was not a primary concern, such beauty was enough to create a legend.

Xue Dinglu simply stepped forward, somewhat puzzled, wondering why the king's face was covered in wounds. Had he encountered a bear on the road?

However, Xue's Law is indiscriminate in the face of any pain or disease. He intends to put himself in a state of certain death and illness when facing Zeus, so that he can pose a sufficient threat to Zeus.

So he extended his hand slightly and said, "King of Milia, thank you for coming from afar."

The moment Xue Dinglu's hand landed on his shoulder, Cesares found that both the fatigue from twenty consecutive hours of travel and the spot where his father had beaten him had vanished in an instant.

Instead, he noticed bruises and marks appearing on Xue Dinglu's neck, and his breathing became much more rapid.

Thessalonians realized that the legend was not wrong; the benevolent hero could not heal, but his ability was to completely transfer the pain of others onto himself!

Damn it, why am I feeling so guilty?

The king of Milia, son of Hercules, looked at Xue Lude and, for the first time, felt immense admiration for another hero besides his own father.

Is this the hero who is about to slay the god?

He felt that compared to the hero in front of him, these so-called "heroes" were so morally depraved that they were disgusting.

He suppressed his guilt and asked, "When do we leave?"

“We need to wait for other heroes. Also, a warship like the historical Argo is about to be completed. In about half a month, we can head to Olympus,” Xue explained.

“The Argo…” Thessalons proudly puffed out his chest, his eyes filled with an indescribable fervor.

After all, his father Hercules was the most famous hero on the Argo. He left his country overnight to come to Troy. Although it was his father's request, he also wanted to have the same achievements as his father, rather than living his whole life with the title of "Son of Hercules".

Even if he died on that ship, this feat of slaying a god would be recorded in epics, and that would be worth it.

"Xercyrus, you are destined to become the captain of this ship of heroes. What name will you give it?" he asked Xue Dinglu, his eyes still burning with passion.

"The name of the ship?" Xue Luding looked towards the shipyard in the distance, where the largest warship of ancient Greece was under construction.

Previously, with the help of the Great Sage, he had reached an agreement with Athena to further develop a plan to kill Zeus together, since Athena seemed to be on his side all along.

Whether it's the large ship or the gathering of heroes, these all contribute to Xue Dinglu's plan to assassinate Zeus.

He thought for a moment and understood what the King of Milia meant. This ship, destined to go down in history, had a name that was also important to these heroes who came to help, just like the Argo before.

Xue Dinglu smiled and pointed in the direction of the shipyard: "How about we name this ship 'Sky Thunder'?"

The Skybreaker, born to slay gods, is destined to become part of the legend.

Chapter 49 Zeus, Possessing Astounding Wisdom

"The Thunderclap!!" Cesares was shocked, and at the same time, a surge of pride welled up in his chest.

Tian Ting refers to thunder and fury, representing the authority of the sky. The image of a great ship that uses the name of the sky to kill gods evokes a sense of mythical epic, which excites him greatly.

In later generations, it will be recorded that the great hero Xerides consulted with himself and confirmed the name of this god-slaying warship: Thunderclap!

No Greek could resist such an epic and destiny-like name, and would excitedly wave their flags in response.

And so, the eyes of the entire world were focused on Troy.

While the entire kingdom of Troy awaited the gathering of heroes, the Thunderclap gradually took shape.

……

During this time, Xue Law was also collecting information about diseases and pain without stopping. Even with the protection of Birdman A and Athena, Xue Law still felt numbness in his body and the wailing of his organs.

He had forgotten how much suffering he had gathered, and during this time his name was known throughout Troy, for he had cured almost all of Troy's diseases.

Now, even when he just goes out, countless people spontaneously pray for him and offer their blessings. Every morning when he wakes up, he receives a large number of gifts outside his house.

He seemed to have gotten used to life in ancient Greece and had also grown to like the way of thinking of the ancient Greeks. Whether heroes or commoners, this place, where everyone was a fan of heroes, was indeed full of filth, but also incredibly pure.

Regardless of the hero, they all valued their honor and integrity above all else, even their own lives. They were straightforward and fearless, without any scheming or intrigue. This is the feeling I got from the heroes of ancient Greece.

Greek heroes were easy to get along with; they basically only cared about their own reputation and great achievements. You could talk to them about making a name for themselves in history, about how a great man should achieve unparalleled feats, and say that a great man should be like that.

These Greek heroes were itching to grab their weapons and go all out right now, their aura so intense it seemed even Zeus, who was just passing by, would get a few slaps.

They're easy to coax.

Xue's theory suggests that these Greek heroes are somewhat like swordsmen and knights-errant from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, seeking fame, prestige, great achievements, and glory. However, one can trust them; the vast majority of them truly valued their integrity and honor more than their own lives.

In recent days, heroes have been arriving in Troy one after another, including many heroes who will be remembered in history, such as Ajax the Great, who possessed the Seven Rings of the Sky.

Odysseus, the protagonist of the mythological epic Odyssey, is a hero later known for the "Trojan Horse" strategy.

It's worth mentioning that this middle-aged man, just approaching thirty, arrived in Troy with a scruffy beard and looking travel-worn. Behind him were all new armor and spears. He smiled and said, "I sold my old armor from when I was young, and these are new ones..."

Although Odysseus is not well-known now, he will be a ruthless man in the future, jokingly referred to as the "Little Jia Xu" of Greece.

Of course, more importantly, he is the protagonist of Odyssey and a famously "cowardly" hero. Why would he also embark on this perilous journey?

All the other heroes came for glory; they wanted to be remembered in history, ideally with their own epic.

Odysseus, however, was different. Xue's Law knew that he was definitely not there for glory or fame. Otherwise, in the original mythology, he wouldn't have used a series of wicked schemes that even the gods couldn't stand. He was a ruthless and unscrupulous person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In ancient Greece, where honor was highly valued, he was a truly monstrous and wicked figure among heroes.

"Thank you for your assistance, hero who has traveled from afar." Xue Dinglu used the cursed blood as usual, then asked curiously, "Hero Odysseus, why have you come?"

These words piqued the interest of the other heroes present, who had all come for glory.

Odysseus sighed, looking at these heroes striving for glory, and explained, "I see the end of the world..."

After saying that, he looked across the sea, "I just want to stop this apocalypse, after all, my child was just born..."

All the heroes were stunned. They hadn't expected that someone would come not for glory, but simply to stop the apocalypse.

Xue Dinglu didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and left. His plan was now coming to an end. The stage was complete, the Sky Thunder was built, and he could go to Olympus at any time.

They only have this one chance.

……

Meanwhile, Zeus has been somewhat unsettled in recent months.

The anger from being fooled by mortals a few months ago had not yet subsided, but recently, due to the plague spreading on Olympus and his own mental turmoil, that anger from being fooled had long been forgotten.

Zeus knew the reason for his unease: he was cursed with the belief that he would die at the hands of his youngest son.

Zeus had a premonition that he was destined to be killed by his youngest son, but wait a minute, his youngest son was only 3 years old! He had secretly hidden him in the palace in Athens, and no one in the gods knew about it!

Lately, he's been going to the three Fates to see how his youngest child will kill him, so he can prepare a response.

However, no matter how he tested his youngest son, he could not predict his future.

Feeling increasingly anxious, Zeus decided to use the old method to delay the curse: he would become a minotaur again and have another child, so that the curse would be postponed to the next child.

So, without further ado, Zeus, the king of the Minotaur in ancient Greece, decided to descend to earth and become a Minotaur again, so that other kings could raise his children.

He searched all of ancient Greece with his eyes and paused for a moment when he saw Troy.

Why are so many heroes gathered here? He hasn't even started the Trojan War yet!

Zeus paused for a moment, then saw one of the mortals who had fooled him a few months earlier!
