Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

"Hey, just come and be my uncle's younger brother. In the future, if I have a sip of soup, you will have a spoon to wash it."

Facing the triumphant Jason, Hercules just looked at him as a mentally handicapped man, this guy really didn't know how much he weighed.

Chiron saw that Hercules was going to give Jason some good juice to eat, but he still looked at him to signal that he should act softly.

Let the prince suffer a little, and then he should go home the next day.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? Are you dumb? Don't worry, this prince will not look down on the disabled."

Jason seemed to think of something, looked at Hercules with sympathetic eyes, and even patted him on the shoulder. To this prince who knew nothing, Hercules only said one sentence:

"Well said, don't say it next time."

"Ugh?"

Jason was also shocked by the mute's speech, and then he turned around in front of his eyes. It turned out that half of his head was buried in the soil.

Chapter 250 The second hero is dead?no i have been

Time passed quickly, and Hercules' practice in the forest was still continuing. He had made rapid progress over the years, and within ten years, Chiron was no longer his opponent.

And he can progress so fast, the root cause is a combination of work and rest.

If you're tired, go beat up Jason and play. Doesn't this give you energy right away?

"It hurts, do I really have no talent in martial arts?"

Jason launched a surprise attack again while Heracles was resting. He was obviously two years younger than himself, but he was so ignorant of martial arts. It was obvious that he would be a good candidate to become a king in the future.

"Teacher Chiron said that everyone has different talents, and you can't beat me in terms of force."

Although Hercules was very displeased with this stinky prince when they first met, but after ten years, this guy has not given up, and even today he is still trying to defeat Hercules.

This perseverance is worthy of recognition, besides, although Jason is a little scornful, he is still very talented in other aspects.

Even Chiron admits this.

"Is there no talent in force? This is really difficult."

Jason lay on the ground and sighed helplessly. He left Thessalia when he was only five years old, of course he didn't come to study, after all, he was too young at that time.

Chiron didn't have the habit of migrating, and it didn't matter if he came to study at any time. Jason had to leave the city-state at that time.

"I heard that your uncle has usurped the throne. In the future, I will help you take it back. You don't need to spend too much energy on things without talent. Teacher Chiron said that your talent is not here."

Hercules didn't dislike this brother who had no talent but never gave up.

When Jason is not speaking, he can still be called dignified, but it is a pity that he has a mouth.

"No, I'll figure it out myself."

Back then, Jason's father sent him to Chiron to avoid the limelight. If he lost, at least he could keep the spark of Jason, and when a king had this idea, it basically represented The situation is far from optimistic.

It turns out that it is.

The fall of Thessalia was extremely fast, and in the face of a well-planned rebellion, the winner was often determined as quickly as possible.

This is Jason's father's last care for his child.

Once he becomes a disciple of Chiron, even if he dies, with Chiron's protection, the thieves will not dare to act recklessly. If he wins, he can use the connections of Chiron's disciples, and Thesalia will be even more prosperous .

"Is it really not necessary?"

Hercules is naturally not a stingy person. Although Jason has been a bit annoying these years, he is indeed a good person. It is obviously the right thing to let a good person be the king.

"If the throne really belongs to me, then I will take it myself, this is my business."

Jason looked indifferent, but Hercules didn't say much, he knew that Jason was very serious at this moment.

At this moment, Chiron returned to the hut with a gloomy expression as if something bad had happened.

what's going on?

"Hercules, you have packed your luggage recently, you may need to leave for a while."

"leave?"

"Well, your grandfather Perseus seems to be unable to hold on any longer. He seems to want to see you."

Chiron's words made Jason almost think that there was something wrong with his ears, but that was Perseus, the strongest hero who had never had any defeat in the past few decades and defeated Gorgon.

"Mr. Chiron, you didn't hear me wrong, right? That's Perseus, that's... a demigod."

Although Jason had heard the story of Perseus since he was a child, and knew that Perseus would turn into a star in the sky after death, but he never thought that the other party would die at this age.

"In order to defeat Gorgon Perseus, he used some relatively expensive tricks, which greatly shortened his lifespan. Moreover, he has been diligent in handling state affairs these years, which has shortened his lifespan, which was originally not much. There shouldn't be much time to live now."

"Does the strongest hero die too?"

Hercules muttered to himself listening to Chiron's words.

He really did not expect such an ending. In his original plan, the strongest enemy before challenging the gods was his grandfather Perseus, who was No. 1 under the gods recognized by Greece.

Only those who defeat such people are qualified to try to fight against the gods, but now the cold facts are in front of them.

Hercules has not yet grown up, and the grandfather who is the strongest in Greece is about to pass away.

"I see, I will prepare as soon as possible."

The 13-year-old Hercules certainly didn't have much affection for this grandfather who had little memory, and Perseus was a stranger to him.

Such a stranger will die if he dies, but Perseus is still the strongest now, he wants to see how strong the strongest is now, and he is still far away from the strongest of human beings. how far away.

......

Perseus is dying.

This news spread throughout Greece almost overnight. It stands to reason that a city-state whose king is about to die should keep it secret, so as to allow enough time for the new king to stabilize the situation.

However, the news of Perseus' serious illness can spread so quickly, which makes people worry whether the enemies of Ethiopia are starting to target the layout. Of course, some people worry that the Spartans on the border will be chaotic if Perseus dies.

At the same time, famous people on the land of Greece will go to Ethiopia during this period. After all, it is the last side of the strongest Greek hero. They want to see Perseus for the last time, and they also want to see the legend Is it true.

Can a person really become a star in the sky after death?

"Everything is going well, and now all the aspiring heroes on the land of Greece are heading towards Ethiopia."

In the royal palace of Ethiopia, a white-haired old man muttered inexplicable words with a cane.

He is Perseus, the king of Ethiopia, but now he is not equal to the strongest hero in the past.

It's just an old man dying of old age.

Of course he is the only one who spread the news of his imminent death. He has not forgotten the last part of his legend, he must turn into a star in the sky.

Everything he has achieved in these years is for this last step, to fully resurrect Medusa, and to set an example for future Greek heroes, allowing them to embark on the road of hunting down Typhon's "children".

This is not just personal love, but also for justice.

It's just that when Perseus got older and closer to death, his thoughts began to waver a little along with the weakening of his body.

Is the so-called becoming a star in the sky real and feasible?

Zeus once told him that the so-called principle of becoming a "star" is nothing more than engraving a person's soul into a chip, and then changing the carrier to achieve a state of "rebirth".

This theory seems to be feasible, at least Medusa was no different from usual at that time.

It's just that Perseus was afraid, and he became suspicious as he got older.

Is it really me who survived in that way?

Replace all of my body, engrave my soul into a thinking chip, and when my whole body becomes a machine, who am I at that time?

In this dimly lit room, Perseus felt fear, even when faced with a threat like Gorgon, even when he was walking on the edge of life and death, he was never afraid.

But he really felt it now.

That inescapable fear.

""

No one knew who opened the curtains of the room, and a strong light pierced through the darkness and pierced into the room. The sudden change of light and darkness made Perseus cover his eyes.

"Why do you close the curtains and not light the lights in broad daylight? Ethiopia is not so poor."

The person who opened the curtain stood in the light, making it difficult to see his face, but Perseus knew who it was just by hearing the voice.

"Is that you? You came to see my ugly appearance."

"Perseus, you are the strongest hero in Greece today, even if you are old, who would say you are ugly?"

Zeus came before Perseus, although the gods recognized Perseus, but no one was willing to see him off.

It's not unfeeling but simply unnecessary.

In the eyes of the gods, this is just a good day for Perseus to shed his mortal body and become another kind of creature. There is no need for this unlucky funeral, and there is no need for them to come.

But Zeus still came, this is the day when his son died as a human being, and he had no reason to be absent as a father.

"I'm not what I used to be. I don't have any confidence to stand in front of you. Is this the fragility of human beings?"

Perseus looked at his hands, his magic power was declining, his physical strength was declining, and his will was beginning to waver. Does he deserve to be called a hero like this?

"Human beings are fragile, and it is because of their fragility that they can emit brilliance that cannot be ignored in a short life."

"But after a brief burst of light and heat, our result is nothing but dust."

Zeus's consolation didn't seem to have any effect, and Perseus became even more self-defeating.

"I'm starting to be afraid, why is death such a terrible thing? I was obviously not afraid before, I was not afraid before..."

Perseus was trembling like an ordinary old man. This person seemed to have no ability that could be called a "hero" or "strong".

But Zeus could see that, as a father, he could see that his son was still strong and a hero.

"Are you afraid, Perseus?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. I'm scared to death now. This is something you gods don't understand at all."

The fear of death made Perseus speechless, but Zeus still looked relieved, because he knew that Perseus could not have been like this.

"Then what about the golden apple? I remember that Dana gave you a golden apple. I gave it to you during the coming-of-age ceremony. You have never eaten it."

Zeus' words gave Perseus a pause.

In the eyes of Zeus, golden apples are treasures that can quickly restore physical strength like fairy beans. Although ordinary humans cannot directly live forever, but like Perseus, who has overdrawn his lifespan due to fighting, through golden apples, he can more or less Add back a little.

More importantly, the golden apple can allow Perseus to die in the peak state of his body. If his physical strength is still at its peak state, Perseus will never show such an ugly appearance.

So, where did the golden apples go?

"That's mother's, I need to leave it to my mother, I can't eat it."

Perseus took out the small box, which was sealed with a special technique, and could only be opened when Perseus died, and the golden apple was inside.

"My mother is old, and her wrinkles are not much less than mine. For a woman who was once very beautiful, this is a very painful thing. Even if this golden apple can't prolong the life of my mother, at least it can make her feel better in your life." There will always be beauty in front of you.”

Perseus muttered to himself.

Zeus looked at the man in front of him who was obviously dying of old age, and the chance to live a few more years was in front of him, but he still sealed his only chance of life.

He experienced his own aging, weakening, and shaking, but there was still something unshakable in his heart.

"It is impossible for everyone's spirit to be at the peak forever, and it is impossible for everyone's will to be unshakable forever, but Perseus... you are still thinking about others in such a situation, is this strength not enough?" One can deny it."

When a person faces death, he will not cross the bottom line. No matter how ugly the person behaves, it cannot conceal the nobleness from the soul.

A dead hero is always a hero, and a living bug is always a bug.

"That's just because I sealed the golden apple in the box and I can't take it out."

"But 13 years ago, when you went to Rome, it hadn't been sealed by you, right? You wanted to give this golden apple to Dana, but Dana refused."

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from Zeus' eyes and ears, and combined with the seal on the box, it was only forged a year ago at the earliest, which means that at least a year ago, Perseus never thought of relying on this Things live on.

"You want Dana to eat it, but you also understand that Dana will never eat it under normal circumstances, so you set the seal on this box so that you can only open it after you die, facing your child is still human. Dana will absolutely eat this golden apple, this is your wish, right?"

"That's right, that's right."

Perseus put down the box feebly, he knew what was going on in his heart, and that was why he was in pain.

"Obviously it is something left to my mother, but I still have the greed in my mind to take it for myself. Every time I think about it, I feel that I am very despicable. Can I really be called a hero? "

"sure."

Zeus affirmed his child.
