modern greek mythology

Si!Danger ahead! ! "

Hermes is like a wild horse running out of control, running aimlessly on the broken ground.

How could Apollo leave him alone, endured the pain and stood up, chasing after him.

However, the more Hermes defended Apollo, the more furious Cronus became!

"Why, are you reluctant to do it? Then let me do it!"

Hermes' running legs came to a sudden stop, like someone else's, not listening to control!

He stood there in despair, knowing that in a short while, this body would no longer be his own!

"Hermes—"

Behind him, Apollo's voice was getting closer and closer, but his hands involuntarily pulled "Zhan Shen" out of the scabbard slowly...

No!don't want! ! !

Hermes desperately resisted and struggled in his heart, but that power was so meager in front of Kronos...

Seeing the cold and stern light of "Zhan Shen" coming out of its sheath, Hermes' hands trembled... No, he absolutely can't!

Hermes was heartbroken, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, raised the sword with all his strength, and was about to wipe it against his neck——

"No!!! Hermes! What are you doing!!!"

Just when the sword was about to cut his throat, the hand holding the sword was suddenly pulled away!

Hermes opened his eyes and looked at Apollo standing in pain.

"Don't come near me!" Hermes yelled hoarsely, "Go away! Go away!!"

However, Apollo did not go, but took a step forward and embraced Hermes.

Tightly, irresistibly, no matter how much Hermes struggled, it was useless.

Hermes felt exhausted, so he stood there in a daze, staring straight at the pale sky in the distance.

"Hermes, tell me what happened." Apollo whispered in his ear, his voice full of distress, "No matter what it is, let me share it with you!"

"Let's go... let's go..."

Hermes repeated these two words weakly, but the hand holding the sword moved quietly, and with a sudden force, the cold blade pierced into Apollo's body.

Blood spurted out and splashed on Hermes' face and hands...

Apollo's body shook, but he didn't let go of Hermes' hand.

"So it's like this...he's been manipulating you all this time, and wants you to kill me, isn't it..." Apollo smiled, "Hermes, you should have told me...if you start early, you don't have to be tortured by him for so long It's..."

Hermes felt pain in his heart after hearing his words, his throat was choked and he couldn't speak, he was almost suffocating in pain...

But the sword in his hand ruthlessly pushed towards Apollo's chest, causing his wound to widen even deeper...

"Hermes, don't blame yourself..." Apollo's voice became weaker and weaker, "I have been regretting that when we were in love, I didn't protect you well... Now, our love is finally complete."

After saying this, Apollo closed his eyes and slowly fell to the ground.

Hermes looked at the scene in front of him, feeling as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, and he couldn't even shed tears...

Until a long scream woke him up from his trance.

Hermes looked back, and it turned out that Athena and Diana, who were looking for them everywhere, were running towards here.

Diana cried frantically and kept asking him "why"...

The voice was far and near, and Hermes couldn't hear it clearly.

Just when they were about to run to the front, Hermes suddenly raised the bloody sword and threatened them with the tip of the sword.

"Don't come here, or you will be killed together."

That voice was so cold and lifeless that even he could not recognize it.

The two stood there silently, their eyes full of hatred.

Hermes ignored it, and he took "Zhanshen" and flew into the sky with one kick.

He froze his heart, there was no time to hurt, he had to forget what just happened.

Before the task is completed, he must not fall down.

unravel the trauma

"King, I'm back."

When Kronos saw Hermes, his first reaction was to stretch out his arms to meet him.

Hermes took a step back: "No...I'm covered in blood..."

Kronos insisted on hugging him: "What are you afraid of, I just want to hug you."

Hermes presented him with "Slaying God": "King, I have completed the task."

Kronos took the sword and pulled it out of the sheath. For a moment, the cold light was dazzling, and the sword aura was overwhelming.

"That's right, this is 'Slaying God'!" Kronos exclaimed, "Well done! Hermes!"

"This is what I should do."

Kronos picked up the "Slaying God" and gestured twice, then put it back into the scabbard and put it away.

For him, "Zhan Shen" records two memories: one is that he killed his father holding it; the other is that his son killed himself with it.

Kronos also can't tell clearly about this sword.

After hiding the sword, Kronos turned around and picked Hermes up: "Go, go wash it."

In the bath, Kronos personally wiped the stains on Hermes' body.

It seems that by wiping off these coagulated blood stains, you can forget what happened before.

"Okay, I know you are still sad for your former companions, and when I regain the throne, I will make it up to you."

Kronos lowered his head and kissed Hermes, comforting him softly.

Seeing that Hermes was so close to that Apollo at that time, I was very upset, so I killed that guy with all my heart, I didn't expect him to be so sad...

But the more he behaved like this, the more he proved that what he did was right, and he would never allow him to hide other men in his heart!

"In addition to me, you will be the other master of the heaven and the earth, and we will manage this world together..."

Kronos whispered many beautiful words in his ears, but Hermes seemed unable to listen to a word, and stared blankly into the distance...

This indifference angered Kronos, and he became irritable again. He twisted Hermes' neck and forced him to look at himself: "What? Are you still thinking about that dead Apollo?!"

"No, king..." Hermes replied lightly, "I'm thinking about another thing."

"what's up?"

"After you just took a look at 'Zhan Shen', you hid it, don't you plan to use this sword on the battlefield?"

Kronos was silent for a while, and replied: "The rest are all incompetent rats. I can deal with them more than enough, and there is no need to use 'Zhan Shen' at all."

"When I took this sword from Gaia, she once told me that 'Slaying God' is a magic sword, and dead spirits will cling to it, seeking opportunities for revenge." Hermes saw His face was stern, and there must be a shadow of patricide in his heart, and he continued, "If this sword falls into the hands of the enemy again, it will be a big trouble for us."

"Hmph, besides you and me, is there a third person who can get close to that sword?!"

"I'm just saying that in case... If the 'Zhanshen' is kept forever, it will be a permanent hidden danger. We can't always be on guard against others stealing it, right?"

"Then what do you say?"

"Since the king doesn't need 'Slaying God' anymore, why not destroy it? In this way, there will be no books in this world that can restrain you, and you can also end the nightmare without any worries."

Kronos leaned against the edge of the pool, thinking for a while.

"'Zhanshen' is an ancient sword, it cannot be destroyed so easily."

"I think no matter how amazing it is, it can't match the billowing lava in hell." Hermes continued to instigate, "The flames of this lava can melt even the bones of Zeus Hades into ashes, so I'm afraid it won't be destroyed. Drop a little Excalibur?"

Kronos had stayed there for tens of thousands of years, so of course he knew how powerful the lava was.

Indeed, if the "Zhanshen" is put there, even if it cannot be destroyed, at least others will not be able to get it again.

"Okay, I'll be with you tomorrow and throw 'Zhanshen' into the lava."

The next day, Cronus and Hermes came to the bottom of hell.

This is the hot core of the earth, where the lava is the hottest, and anything that falls will be turned into nothingness in an instant.

Hermes hugged "Zhan Shen" and slowly walked towards the bubbling red tide...

"Hold on."

Hermes stopped in his tracks: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"This is the place where I fought them before... They won't be alive, right?"

Hermes looked at the complicated expression on his face and asked, "Do you want them to die, or do you want them to live?"

Kronos was silent for a moment, and waved his hand: "Forget it, there is no sign of life for so long, it must be dead, a bunch of useless things... throw away that sword too!"

Hermes took a step forward holding the "God Slasher", and threw both hands forward towards the hot tumbling fiery molten lava - the sword drew a slash in the air, and made a "plop", as if falling into the flames. into the blood-red mouth, it was swallowed up in a blink of an eye...

Seeing this scene, Hermes let out a long breath as if he had relieved a heavy burden.

His mission was completed, as if he had gone through thousands of miles of trekking, and finally took the last step.

The body suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt very tired...

"Let's go."

Behind him came the urging voice of Kronos.

Hermes turned and followed him.

However, I couldn't help but look back... Next, it's up to you.

At night, Cronus carried Hermes to the big bed in the bedroom
