The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

He had completed the ten trials and was called Hercules..."

"Shut up."

Just as Manshu said the name, Alcides shouted out a voice that froze the air.

The red and black shadows of the same hue as his body also surged together, moving like a living being.

That is hatred, that is fear, that is slander, that is regret...all kinds of blocked emotions are deep in the shadow that is about to reach its limit.

"The hero with that name no longer exists. No, he is no longer even a hero. He is a fool who chose to pay the price of human souls in order to please the tyrants."

"But you still can't make that name disappear, because it is an unconquerable hero with a fearless heart. I am here to call on his power."

Mansu naturally wanted to fight back when his speech was interrupted, so he repeated Hercules' name without hesitation.

Chapter 19 Twelve

As the greatest Greek hero, Hercules was considered both a hero and a god.

According to Herodotus, the ancient Greeks worshipped him both as a hero and as a god.

During the festival of tribute, people would regard Heracleus as a hero to comfort his soul as a human hero, and would also place him on the altar to worship him as a god.

As Pindar says, Hercules is a hero-god.

Hercules is the son of Zeus and the son of Amphitryon. This is the dual relationship that Heracles has, and it can also symbolize the humanity and divinity that humans possess simultaneously.

The meaning expressed in Mansu's voice was so clear that even Alcides sensed a hint of its meaning.

But I'm afraid no one would think in that direction at the first moment, and Alcides would only express disgust and anger.

"Are you going to seek help from the gods again? Should we continue to let Ares, who I have repelled several times, show himself, or should we let the God King, who is the incarnation of thunder, take action?

If you can really do this, then maybe I should express my gratitude to you sincerely."

Alcides simply thought of Ares who had appeared before, plus the arrows of Artemis and Apollo.

If you want to defeat him, using these powers is certainly not enough, and ordinary gods may not be able to surpass the great Hercules.

"No, the blood of the god of war cannot hurt you. Ares was knocked down by you four times during the Battle of Pylos. I will not seek Ares's strength again.

Of course, lightning can be useful, but it is not necessary, since you have picked up the name of Alcides and discarded the name that represents the glory of God.

Then naturally, I should have used your name that you had abandoned and intended to erase to make you understand. It was obviously distorted, but in the end, you still got the name Alcides. It's really interesting. "

Alcides can indeed be considered as the starting point, and it is normal for a person to pick up this name, but the meaning of this name is a person who reverses misfortune.

Of course, to some extent it can be considered appropriate, at least for Alcides at this moment.

"Hmm? Are you planning to ask Hera to come? If you can let me see that vicious woman again, you can indeed be spared from death today."

The name Hercules can also be referred to as the person made by Hera. The various schemes used by Hera out of jealousy did not destroy Hercules in the end, but instead made his great achievements possible.

"Just look at the name I called, and then vent your anger and hatred, your despair and regret."

"Then let me see, you empty fool, who you choose to pray to after making so many choices."

Alcides just raised his hands. That was all he needed to do.

The bow in his hand and the arrows he shot were enough to defeat all opponents.

The skills he mastered or the divine bow he held were used to shoot through gods more than once.

But today he had to face not someone else, but Hercules.

"Hercules, fearless heart, brave Titan,

Your hands are like iron, unconquerable, and the heroes fight with glory.

You have countless shadows, the father of time, eternal life and prosperity! "

In the prayer songs, Hercules was added with the images of different gods and was shaped into the supreme Hercules.

Connected to him at this moment is Chronos, who in the Orphic Theogony is sometimes also referred to as Hercules.

It was a god in the form of a dragon, with three heads, those of a lion, a bull, and a man.

"You...what on earth are you?"

When Alcides heard the name that was called at the beginning, the expression and look on his face, which had not changed much until now, suddenly became distorted.

Alcides even pulled the bowstring to its full length, and then shot the arrow wrapped in divine aura without hesitation.

However, the arrows he shot could only stop in front of Manshu, as if there was a barrier in front of Manshu, stuck in the air and unable to move.

"As you can see, I am seeking the power of God. Now, for safety's sake, I am letting time set up defenses around me."

Manshu spoke slowly and calmly. He knew that he was not answering the question, but he did not need to elaborate further.

Because after setting up the defense, it was time to attack, so he naturally shouldn't waste words on answering.

"You are indescribable, your heart is very violent, you are often prayed for, you are the absolute master,

You are invincible and powerful, you are an archer and a prophet,

You swallowed up everything and created everything, the supreme savior, and you drive out and conquer wild beasts for mortals. "

The hero's arrow was shot out, and the arrow that remained in the air would only be shattered and could not be adequately blocked or resisted.

Because the arrow was made of fire from heaven, it is the end and beginning of everything, it is nature and fate.

“It seems that I don’t recognize the Hercules you mentioned. No wonder I was also surprised by Ares.

But that's fine, the gods you mentioned are guys I don't know, even if the pleasure of ravaging them is a little less, it won't remind me of bad things either."

Alcides' surprise did not last long. He was a very qualified warrior, and he became even more invulnerable after abandoning the name of a hero.

He just continued to shoot arrows continuously, and each attack was enough to tear the land apart.

But what shot out from the opposite side of him was something even more terrifying.

The Stoics believed that Chronos' power sustained the entire universe, and when his power was exhausted, the universe would be engulfed in fire and Chronos would return to the original fire.

Seneca in his book relates this to the fact that Heracleus, after having accomplished his work, burned himself in the fire, and Brisson also relates this event.

The power that was guided out in the previous period is now used as an arrow, and the power that represents the end of a cosmic year is also being activated here.

Alcides did not expect that the arrow he shot would do anything; it was just a delaying weapon.

"Shoot Hundreds [Nine Lives]."

Alcides did not add any extra words, only highlighting this powerful voice.

All the arrows he shot continuously were destroyed, and even the space in front of him began to shatter.

Alcides could naturally judge how to deal with the situation.

He used all his strength to pull the bow in his hand, and the bow bent violently.

And at the moment when the whole bow was bent to the point where it seemed like it was about to break in two, an extremely huge force was released from it.

Wrapped in ominous magic, the nine arrows with extremely winding flight paths transformed into a giant snake.

Just like the nine-headed snake described in the legend, these nine arrows equally devoured everything in front of them.

The ominous magic power filled with mud appeared like a poisonous snake, or even an evil dragon.

The evil dragon soared quickly in this vast space and pounced on the destructive force brought from the front.

"The Hydra poison that killed a great hero, and the skills that can be said to be unparalleled, it's just a pity that everything has been distorted."

If he had not transformed into a revenger, what should have been presented before our eyes should have been an attack that was as entwined as a dragon, exerting his skills and spirit to the utmost.

That was far more terrifying than the scene before his eyes, and it might even be said that no one could resist it.

But even so, the magic arrow wrapped around the huge red and black alien creature in front of him is enough to counter the arrow transformed from the eternal heavenly fire.

But if this is all we can do, it is meaningless because only half of the content of the prayer has been covered.

"You were born from yourself, from the bravest of the earth,

You tirelessly throw the first lightning, great Pe'an!"

Hercules in this voice, who threw lightning like Zeus, was given the title of Pean.

Paian was originally a god who cured diseases and warded off evil, but in the writings of subsequent Greek writers, he was used as a synonym for gods such as Apollo, Asclepius, and Dionysus.

The divine light appeared around Manshu and gradually descended with a halo, dissolving the ominous magic power in front of it.

The nine arrows in front were indeed filthy things, containing not only the Hydra's toxins, but also the red and black mud.

But even if it is the evil of this world, the real power of Angra Mainyu, it will inevitably fall into a disadvantage in the confrontation at this moment, not to mention that what exists here is just a remnant.

The nine arrows only lasted for a short time before they were destroyed, but Alcides did not panic.

The weapon he just used to kill the hundred heads was a treasure that was sublimated from his skills, and the magic power required was not too much.

Unless it was the divine bow owned by Hercules, which was used to shoot and kill hundreds of heads.

It would take an extremely huge amount of magic power to release the Hundred Bows, Hercules' most powerful treasure.

Alcides continued to draw his bow and shot out another magic arrow that imitated the Great Snake of the Age of Gods.

Those shot arrows were like a huge group of snakes, and the food of these snakes was the pervasive divine aura.

Alcides didn't even look at the result. After shooting the arrow, he kept pulling the bow and shooting the next arrow from his hand.

The huge group of snakes intercepted the subsequent lightning with their numbers. After all, this itself was a collision of glory, and Alcides continued to inject stronger magic power.

"On your head is a wreath of dawn and night, twelve glorious tasks stretching from east to west."

But all the efforts were destroyed at the moment of sun rising. Under the magic light that was like sunlight, the snakes were burned to ashes.

Chapter 20 Suspension

Just as Helios leads his chariot to the dawn and the night, so Hercules rises from the east to the west with his twelve glories.

And this rising sun and the burning flame are what Manshu is best at and most familiar with.

Even the power that the last sentence can bring, in Manshu's hands, may not be as destructive as this sentence.

And the power of time continues, and the twelve great skills also represent the twelve months of a year.

Helios is also the Father of Time, and so is Hera, which in the old Indo-European name means year.

Therefore, even though the sentence was not read to the end, the most deadly attack had already arrived.

The shadows of the giant snakes, which were extremely numerous, were destroyed, and the shining and beautiful sunlight brought a never-ending scorching sun.

"So you are the sun, but Helios and Apollo are also the targets of my bow. You will no longer sing the song of praise to the gods."

Alcides did not shoot out the numerous poisonous snakes again, but instead put all his strength into one arrow.

The scattered snake arrows are indeed no match for the rising sun; no matter how many there are, they will be burned to ashes one by one.

Then all that should be done is to integrate the scattered forces into one and shoot an arrow to try to shoot down the sun.

Alcides wantonly plundered the spiritual energy from the military belt wrapped around his hand, and poured all of his enormous strength into the arrow in his hand.

The power that should have been shot out from the nine arrows was concentrated on this one arrow, bringing about an even more terrifying and turbulent surge of magic power.

The strong wind stirred up by the impact brought by the shooting was enough to completely peel off the surrounding land.

Just in the moment of noticing, a violent explosion occurred in this alien world.

The space was completely ravaged and shattered, and the composite workshop here could not withstand such a huge force and holes began to appear.

The radiance of the explosion leaked out directly from it, and the huge rolling flow of magic power once again made the magicians in the city tremble.

As a result, many magicians who had originally planned to escape simply did not stay any longer and planned to leave the next morning, but now immediately caught up with the journey to leave.

Leaving at this time might actually give them a glimmer of hope. If they leave any later, this city will no longer be a place they can leave.

“It’s completely comparable to the scene in the desert.”

Faldius in the Special Correction Center also had to sigh, but this matter also seemed to be even more difficult to handle.

"We can't let them continue. We are already overwhelmed just by dealing with what happened in the desert, and it will be even harder to cover up something like this happening in an industrial area."

Others don't have to worry about the noise they make, but as an official, Faldius finds this quite troublesome.

"Would you like to proceed with calling Mr. Orlando, Minister?"

Faldius's men asked him.

"No, I'll take care of it myself."
