The Dragon That Devours the World

, the fastest update of the dragon that devours the world! The young man who killed the lion came to the kingdom at the foot of the mountain, which was called Thebes.

He came to this kingdom not because of anything else, because the young man had heard a story that interested him a while ago. The king here disappeared some time ago. In desperation, the king's younger brother Creon, as the regent, announced that he would select a new one. king.

According to the provisional regent, he entrusted the kingdom with the queen to the hero who defeated the Sphinx.

Sphinx, this is a long-winged monster with a human head and a sphinx body. She has the head of a girl, but she is a cunning and fierce monster, bred from the blood of the father of all demons, and likes to play with the lives of mortals.

She roamed the outskirts of Thebes, and people feared her.

The youth is not interested in becoming a king, he is only interested in defeating those powerful monsters. So he put on a lion's skin and wanted to see the sphinx before he went home.

Then he came to the city of Thebes, but he found that people were celebrating the ceremony. In the brightly lit city, people indulge in carnivals, dancing, playing musical instruments, and they are extremely happy.

The young man grabbed the shoulder of a passerby and asked, "In such a grand ceremony, is this a celebration of the birth of the **** Zeus? Or is it a sacrifice to Apollo, the **** of light?"

"Neither, Outlander, we are celebrating the arrival of a wise and powerful new king."

The passerby replied quickly.

From the mouths of passers-by, the young man heard a surprising news.

After the disappearance of the old king, a traveler encounters the sphinx. The terrifying monster teased the traveler and asked him a riddle:

"What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night."

The traveler replied:

"You are talking about people. At birth, people crawl on the ground, so they have four legs; when they grow up, they walk on the ground, so they have two legs; when they get old, they walk on crutches, so they have three legs. ."

The Sphinx, who was pierced by the riddle, became furious. She shook her wings and set off a gust of wind, trying to kill the passerby. The traveler fought the sphinx with his sword, eventually killing the monster.

So the young man who solved the Sphinx riddle and killed her became the new king of the kingdom.

The young man was very interested in the new king called Oedipus, so he went to the palace to meet the king.

The king respected the stranger very much, and received the stranger in person with the queen.

At the banquet, the young man saw the king and queen. He was a young and beautiful young man with a faint smile on his face. He was extremely confident, as if everything was under his control.

And his queen is the wife of the former king, and a very gentle and virtuous beautiful person. The two married because of an agreement, but they were a perfect match.

The intelligence of the king and the virtuousness of the queen left a deep impression on the youth, and the guests were delighted.

At the banquet, the young man curiously asked about the story of the Sphinx.

The king laughed loudly. This was obviously something he was extremely proud of. He described his encounter with the Sphinx in detail to the young man, and then told the young man very seriously.

"That monster is extremely smart. In other people's legends, she only told one riddle, but she didn't know that she said many riddles, each of which was extremely tricky."

In the king's narration, he encounters the monster on his travels, and the proud and cunning monster asks him many riddles, each of which makes Oedipus extremely difficult.

But in the end, it was Oedipus who was smarter than the other and solved the riddles one by one. In the end, the monster was speechless, and fought with him in anger. The danger of that battle was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Oedipus said it lightly, but still can feel the horror of it.

Finally, the youth asked the king a question.

"You are already a hero in the eyes of others, so what can you point me to?"

The young man asked seriously.

On the thorny road of heroes, Oedipus deserves to be his predecessor, and the young man is quite curious about what his guidance will be.

The king looked at his expression and realized the seriousness of the youth.

The faint smile on his face dissipated, he thought for a while, and said to the young man.

"In my opinion, force is essential for every hero, but wisdom is more important. It is the beacon that guides the way forward, so that we can not be confused on the way forward."

"Fate is treacherous. The gods like to take pleasure in the fate of mortals and set up many difficulties for mortals. No matter how powerful the force is, there will be an end. Only wisdom can protect us against this unpredictable fate."

After the banquet, the young man stayed in the room to rest, while the king looked at the young man's back with a solemn expression.

Beside her, the queen wondered.

"Dear, do you value this young man very much?"

The king nodded.

"Yes, my love, you are not a warrior, and I don't know what kind of power this man has inside. In front of him, I even felt like I saw the sphinx again; when he approached me, I My muscles were tensing involuntarily because I felt a strong danger."

"I don't know who he is, but this young man in a lion's skin must be one of the toughest warriors on the earth. That's why I want to mention him."

Oedipus, the wise traveler in this story, sighed.

"The eyes of the gods are still looking at the earth. I can understand what kind of terrible fates those powerful and boring gods will make mankind suffer for for fun... For these fates, our force is meaningless, and we can only deal with them with wisdom. ."

"His strength is already very strong, but strength alone is not enough."

The king's face was full of melancholy and unease.

The new king, he has a secret that no one knows.

He was born in Corinth, the son of a local king. But one day, because of some things, he accidentally got a prophecy from Apollo, the **** of light.

"You will kill your father, marry your mother, and have cursed offspring."

This prophecy from the priest's mouth made him feel fear.

He loved his parents so much that he couldn't imagine that he would one day commit such a depraved crime.

But Apollo is the **** of light and the **** of prophecy, and his prophecies never fail.

Oedipus' intelligence made him realize the horrors of the future. So he left the country where he was born, and crossed the land, only to avoid seeing his parents again and to escape this abominable fate.

During the journey, this prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother made him sleepless, and it was not until he came to Thebes that he felt a little more at ease.

It's far enough here that the prophecy should be avoided.

He thought so in his heart, but in the process of defeating the Sphinx, the constant riddle test allowed him to sharpen a superhuman intuition.

Prophecy, isn't it another riddle?

He has solved the most difficult riddle in the world, and also solved the riddle from the gods, so he should be at ease, but why... why is there always a sense of unease in his heart?

Beside him, the beautiful and gentle man looked at him blankly, as this young and handsome man always does.

In front of others, he is smart and calm, and he is full of confidence in the face of everything, but when he is unknown, he will show this melancholy and sad side.

When I first met him, I just thought he was handsome and made people feel good. Later, after a long time, I realized more and more of his charm and cuteness.

She couldn't help hugging her lover.

"Darling, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

Hearing the words in his ears and feeling the warmth behind him, the king's expression gradually calmed down.

Yes, don't worry so much, I have defeated the riddle monster, defeated the prophecy, and I have won.

Looking up at the sky, he seemed to see big hands playing with chess pieces on the ground.

He thought silently in his heart.

"Come on, let me go, I won't lose."

But at the same time, the little snake lying on the shoulders of Hercules opened its eyes, its sight penetrated the wall, looked at the young king, and let out a silent laugh.

In his sight, he saw a cloud-like monster, a monster with a beautiful girl's head but a lion's body and wings.

The monster full of hatred and resentment surrounded the young king, and her face was intertwined with hatred and wild laughter, making that moving face distorted.

"You lost! Next page! Current page 1/total 2 pages

"

"you lose!"

"Hahaha, I am the king of riddles, I am the master of riddles, you foolish fool, you lost! You lost!"

"I didn't lose! I didn't lose! It was you who lost..."

The wraith let out ecstatic laughter, mocking the stupidity of the old enemy.

For some reason, the invisible spirit of resentment was reluctant to go to the underworld. She must see the despair of this old enemy when she faced the truth.

…

"Sphinx, you've lost."

Holding a broken sword, the handsome young man was bruised all over the place, but still raised his head proudly and confidently, looking at the blood-splattered monster in front of him.

Arrogance and self-confidence are the privilege of the victors. When declaring victory, they must not show embarrassment.

In front of him, the huge monster lay weakly on the ground, her wings were chopped off, and a large hole was pierced in her chest. She was so weak that she no longer had the strength to stand up.

"I... didn't lose..."

The head that looked like a beautiful girl said with difficulty.

"I didn't lose, I couldn't possibly lose... How could I possibly lose... It shouldn't be like this... It should be you who lost..."

The moving face showed despair. While weeping, she refused to admit her failure.

But even she seemed to feel that she had lost.

A crushing defeat.

All the riddles were solved by the other party, and he couldn't beat the other party even when he was angry. No matter how he looked at it, he lost.

However, there must be a flaw somewhere, there must be a place that I haven't discovered...

where exactly...

where exactly...

Until the end of her breathing, she still stubbornly opened her eyes, trying to find any possible flaws in the young man.

…

"You lose, and you lose utterly."

The young man said.

"It was you who lost, and you lost a crushing defeat."
