The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

The king of the island is said to have married one of Hercules' daughters, making him related to nearly half of the heroes on the ship.

However, when we approached the dock, there was no one to meet us, and there were not even any boats coming and going. The entire dock seemed dead silent.

All the heroes who got off the ship felt something unusual. They didn't know that in just one day, the whole of Greece had almost turned into a living hell. More than half of the people had fever, were infected and began to vomit. The vomit seeped into the groundwater and flowed into the Aegean Sea, causing a wider spread.

After entering the city-state, the tragic scene frightened everyone.

There were wailing and vomiting corpses everywhere, and the streets were filled with vomited and diarrheal filth, and this filth floated on the river and the Aegean Sea, forming a purgatory on earth that was comparable to hell.

Compared with the Ganges River in later generations, it is not much inferior.

The investigating hero immediately reported the situation back and covered his mouth and nose the entire time.

After hearing the intelligence, Xue Lufen, whose back was still oozing with blood, murmured, "It's actually gangrene and cholera..."

"Set sail! Set sail immediately! Rush to Olympus as quickly as possible." Xue Falun realized that this was not a normal plague, but the process of world destruction had begun.

"Make a simple rain-collecting device. For now, only eat fish caught in the ocean, and give them to me first." Xue Lufen arranged everything with a bundle of thorns on his back, looking a little weak.

Although the other heroes were a little confused, they did as they were told, and the fleet immediately left the archipelago and sailed away into the distance.

After leaving the coast, everyone's faces turned grim, and they gathered together and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"This is God's punishment on the human world. We cannot intervene. We can only rush to Olympus as soon as possible and ask Heavenly Father to forgive our sins." Xue Lufen said this as if he were really a devout believer of Zeus.

In secret, they communicated in code: "The Seventh Chapter of World Destruction has begun."

Everyone had an ugly expression.

The predicted future is approaching step by step.

All the heroes who came to this ship did so to avoid such a future.

As that little Achilles imp said, they were going to "save the world."

Whether it was the desire to save the world or the genuine inability to bear the suffering of the world, this group of people embarked on a path of no return, a path to kill Zeus.

Even though I know this road will lead to death.

And from the perspective of the gods in heaven, the third trial was completed.

……

In the underworld, as the bells rang, Typhon in the abyss began to utter his second words.

"On the second day, grant war!"

A war broke out between Athens and Sparta, sweeping across Greece.

Both sides accused each other of being disloyal to the gods, which was why the plague was brought upon them. When no one could convince the other, Athens and Sparta started a large-scale melee with the full strength of Greece.

Dozens of kingdoms and city-states participated, and hundreds of thousands of troops began to fight like crazy.

There was no participation of heroes, it was just a war between mortals, but those mortals seemed to be possessed by Khorne, killing people cruelly. There was not a single deserter, and all fought to the death, some even smiling when they died.

"How dare they! Who told them to start the war!" Agamemnon, the king of Greece, looked angrily at the extremely bloody war on the distant island. That was not normal, whether it was the bloodthirsty soldiers like monsters or Athens and Sparta who started the war without authorization.

Agamemnon, the King of Greece, and Menelaos, the King of Sparta, were both on the Thunder, yet such a war could still break out.

However, this is just the beginning.

On the third day, they gave him hunger.

All the food began to rot and mold overnight. Panic and fear swept across all of Greece. Countless people afflicted with the plague knelt on the ground, begging for the mercy of the gods and for Zeus's grace.

The fleet of the Tianting encountered the Scylla sea monster in the sea. After destroying four escort ships, the great hero Hector finally killed this sea monster, which was famous in Greek legend, with his spear.

However, not long after killing the Scylla sea monster, the Tianting fleet encountered a storm, and several escort ships sank forever to the bottom of the Aegean Sea.

It just so happened that those sunken ships carried their limited fresh water and food.

The originally stormy sea soon calmed down, and the gods all showed excitement when they saw the heroes struggling and suffering in the wind and waves.

Perhaps, this is one of the few pastimes for the gods in their long lives.

For the gods, the heroes who defeated the sea monsters and the fleets that defeated the wind and waves, their legends are comparable to the Argonauts decades ago, and their legends continue.

But for the heroes on the Tianting, it was fatigue, thirst and hunger.

Heroes have already started to get injured, and even the cursed blood can't heal the injuries.

When facing the Scylla sea monster, one hero had his entire shoulder torn off. Even though Xue Law activated the injury and pain transfer of the Cursed Blood immediately, he only managed to stop the bleeding and heal the arm. The lost arm would never come back.

"So, kid, this is our journey. Do you regret it?" Hector asked, knocking Achilles' shield away with the spear in his hand.

In the previous battle with the Scylla sea monster, Achilles always resented himself for not noticing the giant claw hidden on the side of the ship, which resulted in his colleagues being seriously injured. If only he could be faster, even faster!

"I will never regret coming to the Tianting. I only regret that my martial arts are not good enough!" He continued to roar, and the spear in his hand was like a dancing dragon.

"when!"

The spear was knocked away and stuck in the deck. Hector put his spear to his throat and said, "You are not good at forehands, your backhands are weak, and you have lost your mind. In a real fight, you only want to win by brute force and speed. You have thrown your original martial arts skills to the wind."

Achilles fell to the deck, and he only resented that he was unable to save his best friend at that time. Regret and resentment filled the mind of this 12-year-old boy.

But now he was awakened by Hector, and he went back silently to pick up his spear and shield.

Hector was not good at speaking. He didn't know how to comfort this child whose strength on the Tianting was almost second only to his own. He just sat with him silently, looking at the Aegean Sea under the sunset and the endless horizon in the distance.

At this time, Odysseus came to them, handed each of them a piece of papyrus and a piece of carbon, and said: "Everyone, write down what you want to send to your family. Today may be your last day."

"A message to your family?" Achilles took the papyrus and charcoal and looked at Odysseus dully.

"A suicide note," Odysseus said directly. "Cedrus arranged for each of us to leave one last copy. Whoever is still alive among the 32 of us will take everyone's suicide note back home. This is the last letter we leave in this world."

Achilles stared blankly at the thin papyrus in his hand. At this moment, he may have realized the weight of death, which was just a piece of papyrus.

"So you regret it, little devil?" The big hand next to him covered his head. Hector seemed to have written his suicide note and rolled up the papyrus.

"Do you regret it?" Achilles looked at the papyrus in his hand, then looked at Hector who had already stuffed the paper into the seam of his armor, and asked: "What did you write?"

"This thing, if someone else sees it before I die, it will be meaningless." Hector looked at the sunset, his dead fish eyes seemed to emit the decadent atmosphere of a middle-aged man, and his big hands rubbed the hair of the little ghost next to him.

"So if you give up, we will find a nearby island to drop you off tonight. You can go home and don't have to participate." Hector continued to persuade the child.

He really admired this child. He definitely didn't have such courage and martial arts when he was his age.

So he hoped that such a child would survive, at least until he grew up and reached the peak of his martial arts.

"Didn't we agree to go to Olympus together?"

"We agreed to form a lifelong fleet, don't abandon me without permission!"

Hector's words of persuasion seemed to arouse the little devil's rebellious psychology. He quickly dodged Hector's hand and wrote his suicide note on the papyrus.

"If you just happen to lack my fighting power in the end, then your deaths will be in vain, right?" Achilles also followed Hector's example and rolled up the papyrus and stuffed it into his armor.

Chapter 57 The Last Trial

The two former mortal enemies were now like best friends. They came to the upper deck of the cabin together, handed the suicide note in their hands to Xue Lufen, and put it into a sealed wooden box together.

For every hero who handed in a suicide note, the gloom on their face instantly disappeared, and they regained their heroic and brave appearance.

Hector also knew that this was just a small trick used by the kind-hearted hero to boost everyone's morale, but he would not expose it. Instead, he catered to this simple strategy.

After the two put the suicide note into the wooden box, the fear of death seemed to disappear.

It was as if all the burdens had been lifted off my shoulders, and I only had to consider the enemy in front of me.

"This wooden box was made by the witch Circe. Water will not enter it under any circumstances. Even if we all die, it will always float on the Aegean Sea." Xue Falun said this. He was the last one standing. He threw his suicide note into the box, sealed it, and locked it.

"So, if anyone is lucky enough to survive, please take this soul of all of us and lead us back home."

Everyone seemed to smile, having unloaded their final burden. Their journey was only halfway done. Even if they died, they would still have companions to take their souls home.

There is endless darkness ahead, but dawn will always come.

Yes, dawn will eventually come.

But before dawn comes, someone must illuminate this darkness.

……

"On the fourth day, death is granted."

Mortals who were wandering in plague, war and hunger began to die on a large scale. The underworld was completely filled with wronged souls, and the ferryman of the Styx was unable to cross the river.

"On the fifth day, the end is granted."

The sea level rose, and floods began to submerge coastal ports and city-states. Violent thunder vented forever over the Aegean Sea. The last frigate of the Tianting sank, and the heroes guarding those last few frigates were buried forever in the sea.

Of the 32 heroes on the Tianting, only 27 remain.

"On the sixth day, hell is bestowed upon me."

The flood submerged most of Greece. Even among the gods who were watching the show in heaven, many gods felt that their father Zeus had gone too far. Because of this new version of the Twelve Trials, too many people had died throughout Greece.

Of course, they didn’t know the prologue to the destruction of the world, and could only see this level. They could only complain and did not dare to ask the father Zeus.

At this moment, everyone on the Tianting encountered their final trial.

That was the last trial before Olympus. Groups of beautiful and graceful sirens lay on the rocks, making pleasant sounds from their mouths.

There were dozens and hundreds of Sirens of all kinds, their chests covered only with shells, their flawless bodies and white jade-like skin exposed in front of all the heroes.

And then, there came the beautiful and charming music.

The song of the Sirens sounded in the middle of the night, and the first people to be bewitched were the mortal boatmen on the Thunder.

The beautiful and charming singing voice is like the coquettish breath of a girl in your ear.

Blood pressure begins to rise and blood begins to boil.

They were confused for a moment, and then in a daze they docked the Tianting next to the reef where the Siren was. They ignored the fact that the bottom of the Tianting had hit the reef and just walked up foolishly.

When they regained consciousness, they saw, through the moonlight, a beautiful young woman by the reef, her slightly damp hair hanging down, tears welling up on her collarbone, her rosy cheeks trembling restlessly, her pearly teeth gently biting, and her fair toes curling slightly on the reef.

There are hundreds of girls like this here, each seemingly possessing the most beautiful face in all of Greece. Whether they are mature women, cute girls, or all sorts of beauties, they all have their eyes on these mortal boatmen.

Not only mortals, but also heroes are trapped in this illusion.

Almost everyone on the Tianting was fooled. When the Sirens saw that the heroes were bewitched by them, they played and sang even harder.

Even people like Hector and Odysseus who had already started families and careers, children like Achilles, and even guys like Xue Falun who were suffering all the time, all got off the boat and came to the reef.

Even the most famous Greek heroes could not resist the singing of the Sirens in their dreams.

Each of the mermaid girls showed a bright and charming smile, with tears flowing on their bodies, waiting for their prey to fall into the net.

The first mortals to descend had already died, dyeing the surrounding sea red, but the remaining people seemed unaware, slowly approaching and approaching in their sleep...

What the Sirens were most concerned about was, of course, the man in the crowd named "Cedrus" who was carrying thorns on his back and whose appearance would fascinate even the gods.

Even as a sea siren, she was shocked and even felt ashamed when she saw the hero's appearance.

And after the shame, there is a strong desire for possession and the desire to suppress that pure beauty and make it corrupt.

He must be taken! He must be beaten to his knees and brought to the lair...

The sirens were shouting in their hearts, and Xue Fa Lun seemed to be moving faster on the reef than other heroes.

100 meters...

50 meters...

20 meters...

At this point, Xue Lufen stopped and ignored the sirens' coquettish behavior. He drew out a short blade and cut his palm. Bright red blood dripped on his hand. Amidst the confusion of the sirens, Xue Lufen suddenly wiped away the blood on his palm.

In the moonlight, his pupils were as cold as ice, and the sirens could only hear the dead words coming out of his mouth.

"Cursed blood, great burial on the other side!"

The blood drops that were thrown out instantly turned into a blood mist that filled the sky. The moment the blood mist touched the sirens, it was like pouring boiling water into a boiling oil pan.

The screams that seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums rang out, and the heroes felt dizzy and their eardrums ruptured.

They were still dreaming that they were returning home in glory, and countless extremely beautiful girls came to greet them and cling to them.

But in the blink of an eye, when they woke up, they found themselves on the reef, with most of their bodies submerged in the water. There was no beautiful girl in front of them, only the group of extremely ugly and hideous sirens in the blood mist, with festering skin!

"Xedilus!" Hector, who had regained consciousness, came to Xue Lufeng in an instant and saw that his injuries had healed, but Xue Lufeng seemed extremely weak and kept gasping for breath.

"I want you dead!" The ferocious mermaid pounced on him with a festering body, but Hector smashed her skull with a single blow. His spear gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and he roared behind him, "Kid, take the hero Xedile away!"

"Okay!" Achilles did not argue. He used his spear to pick up an attacking sea monster, immediately picked up Xue Lufen, who was in a bad condition, and ran towards the Tianting.
