I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Hades wants me or Chiron to train you. You can master your left eye. Who are you going to learn from?"

Serius touched his head, would he dare to choose Teacher Chiron?

Chapter 24 The conspiracy that came quietly

While Serius was training with the goddess, two uninvited guests came to Cyclops Island.This is a strange combination, a Cyclops over eight meters tall wearing heavy armor and holding a trident.One is a tauren who is more than three meters tall and holds a machete.

"The idiot! He screwed everything up!"

Seeing the burned battering ram and the corpses of Cyclops all over the ground, the Cyclops with purple-black eyes let out a thunderous roar.

"So he's dead, Gargrath. The immortality bestowed by the Titan King didn't keep him alive. I'm a little worried now that we'll be discovered by the gods."

The tauren looks a little uneasy, don't ask me how I can see the uneasiness from that bull's head.

"Discovered? Hahahahaha!!!"

Cyclops Gargrath let out a mocking laugh.

"The gods have known of our existence from the beginning."

"From the beginning? Gargoreth! You said when you found me that no god would find out what we were doing! No god would come and take my life! You promised me that!"

The tauren waved the scimitar in his hand excitedly, and it questioned Gargrath who was traveling with it.Facing his companion's questioning, Cyclops just waved his trident impatiently.

"Yes, yes, I think you promised. Don't worry, Kamose, the gods just know our existence, but they can't find us, and they won't find out what we are doing."

Facing the casual attitude of the Cyclops, Kamose weakly lowered his scimitar-wielding hand.

"Is it possible, Gargoeth. Knowing us but not finding us, knowing we exist but not seeing what we do...I mean, we're dealing with gods!"

"Gods are on our side too! Kamose. Just relax. If the gods could find us, we would have been chopped into ashes by Zeus's thunder long ago. How can we talk leisurely here about whether the gods can Spot our stupid question!"

After hearing this, Kamos was obviously relieved a lot.But just like a criminal who had been working in secret all this time suddenly learned that he was known by the police to be someone like himself, even if he was told by the Cyclops that he would not be discovered by the gods, the tauren still felt uneasy.

"I know that Cronus, the king of the Titans, is on our side. But the question is, hasn't he been imprisoned into the endless abyss by Zeus and other gods--Tartaros? Our purpose is to let him out, I That is to say, he still needs us to save himself, does he really have the strength to help us?"

The Tauren Kamose was a little incoherent, but what he wanted to express was still understood by the Cyclops.

"Yeah, the old guy was imprisoned in the endless abyss by my god brothers, and we need to release him. It seems that the old guy is really hard to protect himself, but how can you understand the power of the gods as a mere mortal?"

Before the tauren could ask again, Gargrath continued.

"You've heard of it, Kamos. The old guy once swallowed Hades and the others."

"Of course I heard it. It was said that Cronus was afraid that he would be overthrown by his son's prophecy, so he swallowed the newborn children. Only Zeus, the great king of the gods, escaped. He is very wise. , full of power..."

"Stop! Needless to say the rest."

The Cyclops interrupted Kamose's long speech with a black line on his face, why didn't he know that the tauren could speak so well before.

"In fact, that's not a prophecy at all, it's the curse of the first generation of God King Uranus."

"The first generation of god kings? Before Kronos, there were god kings?"

"So you are just a mortal, Kamos, and this world hides too many secrets from you."

"Gaia, the goddess of the earth, created Uranus, the god of the sky, and made Uranus her husband. They worked together to create all kinds of life. But Uranus wanted to monopolize his wife Gaia, so he forced himself children trapped in Gaia's body."

"Gaia couldn't stand the atrocities of Uranus anymore, she took a scythe and said to the child in her body 'Who can help her drive Uranus back to the sky'"

"Only Cronus dares?"

"Yes, the other Titans fear the power of their father Uranus, but Cronus stood up and made Uranus infertile with the help of Gaia."

"I lost the ability to reproduce, isn't that...?"

Kamose had disbelief written all over his face.

"Of course the king of the gods can't be a crippled guy, Uranus was driven to the sky because of this. But before Uranus went to the sky, he put a curse on Cronus - you will be just like me overthrown by his own son."

"Cronus rescued his trapped brothers and sisters, and was embraced by them as the king of the gods. You know the rest of the story. The father was trapped, and with the help of the mother, he also rescued the brothers and sisters and overthrew the father's rule. Fate really played a big joke. Do you think so? Kamos."

The tauren didn't have a god-king father as the background, so Kamose could only choose to change the subject.

"Does what you said have anything to do with whether Cronus can help us?"

"Of course it matters! Even if you know that you will be overthrown by your sons one day, wouldn't you make some preparations?"

"Of course we will make preparations, but isn't Kronos trying to swallow his sons? These preparations are useless!"

Kamos once again waved the scimitar in his hand excitedly.

"So you're just a mortal, Kamose. 'Overthrown by one's own son' is Uranus' curse on the old man, it's inevitable, it's definitely going to happen! The old man never thought he'd be able to stop All this happened."

Kamos was dumbfounded, its cow head couldn't understand the logic at all.

"But since it can't be stopped, why does Cronus swallow his children?"

"Of course it was done to show other gods, making them think that this is all the efforts of the old guy to fight against the curse. But in fact, the old guy took the opportunity of saving seeds everywhere and secretly opened a He understood that after his sons overthrew his rule, they would only seal their immortal self into Tartaros."

"But what the old guy didn't expect was that Zeus was too cautious. Zeus locked the old guy firmly inside with a chain that could block divine power, so that the old guy couldn't open the door he set up."

"Isn't that still useless? Why did Cronus set up a door?"

"Do you think Cronus is the only one in the abyss Tartarus? Idiot!"

For the first time, Gargrath found talking to the tauren so tiring.

"Just like Uranus, when he knew that he would be bound by chains, the old guy used his last divine power to curse the gods, cursing them that they would never be able to see and value anything related to him until he regained consciousness. free."

"So that's why the gods can't find us?"

"Of course! Don't waste time, we have to quickly find another place to continue building tools that can break through that door."

Chapter 25 God's Entrustment

Under the teaching of the goddess Hephaestus, Serius barely mastered the power of the left eye, at least he would no longer unconsciously destroy everything in front of him.

But Seleus still wore the blindfold: on the one hand, when he found himself wearing the blindfold, Lord Hephaestus would always smile; There will always be purple-black flames floating out of the eyes, and Serius thinks this is a bit too strange.

After the training was over, Seleus packed his bags and was about to leave.

"Are you leaving again?"

Somehow, Seleus seemed to hear a hint of loss in the goddess' words.Then, he shook his head vigorously, throwing out all those whimsical thoughts.

"If I stay in your temple for too long as a mortal, I will bring you trouble. Moreover, although my motivation at the beginning was a bit questionable, after seeing many things, I sincerely want to eliminate the misfortune of this world."

Seleus thought of the villages plundered by bandits, the kingdom of Longdon driven to a desperate situation by monsters, and the civilians killed by pirates...

Seleus doesn't like tragedies, although those tragedies that shatter the good seem so unforgettable.But Seleus considered himself a vulgar fellow, and wished, if possible, that everything in the world should end well.

'Since I have the ability to avoid some tragedies, why don't I do it? '

Seleus asked himself this in his heart.

This is not the luxury of the strong. Perhaps at the beginning, Seleus helped others with a charity mentality, but from the moment he was invited to the banquet by the residents of the Longdon Kingdom, the world was completely different to Seleus. changed.

Thank you to the residents of the Kingdom of Longdon. If you blindly do not ask for anything in return, but only practice based on the so-called belief of "helping if you have the ability", Seleus will only become an inhuman wishing machine.And it was the invitation of the residents of the Longdon Kingdom that made Seleus understand that even he could be tied to people by such invisible things as ties.

So, Seleus wanted to be a hero.Not only for those who are suffering, but also for the bond that warms Seleus to connect more people and create a happy world.

'Ugh! '

Hephaestus sighed silently in his heart, and picked up his forging hammer again.The familiar knocking sound resounded throughout the bronze temple again.

Serius felt that this was urging him to leave, so he packed his bags and pushed open the door of the Bronze Temple with his hands again.

"If you feel tired, just come and sit in my temple, just say my name silently in your heart. Moreover, once in a while is no trouble at all."

Just as Seleus was about to step out of the temple, Hephaestus' words gently reached Seleus' ears.Seleus smiled happily.

"I will, my fair lord Hephaestus..."

......

Athena is the child of Zeus and Metis.

Gaia, the goddess of the earth, predicted that Metis would give birth to a son who would replace Zeus as the new king of Olympus. Out of fear of this prophecy, Zeus swallowed the pregnant Metis like his father .But it didn't take long for Zeus to feel a splitting headache, and he asked Hermes to split his head.

But before Hermes could make a move, a goddess with a graceful figure and bright eyes broke through Zeus's head.

This goddess is Athena.But now, the goddess who wore a helmet crown, a very high face mask, and a one-piece dress with armor on her upper body suddenly approached Seleus who was camping.

Seleus looked at the Goddess of Wisdom who suddenly came to him with a headache. He couldn't understand why Goddess of Wisdom came to him on his own initiative, even though he was a mess to all the gods except the three gods.

Seleus just froze there, he didn't speak, and he didn't speak.Will speaking be considered an offense to the goddess and be punished by God again?Would not speaking also be seen as an offense to the gods?After all, if the gods come to you but you don’t show any sign, there is something wrong with whatever you think about it.

"Why, are you surprised to see my concubine?"

Just when Seleus was at a loss, Athena gave Seleus a signal.

"Of course not, Athena, the great goddess of wisdom, your bright eyes are more breathtaking than the most shining gems in the world."

Seleus knelt on one knee and offered words of praise to the goddess.Anyway, flattering the goddess is better than saying nothing, the premise is that the goddess is willing to let you speak.

"Although it's a sincere compliment, how can I hear so much resentment from it? I don't think I have done anything too much to you?"

The repressed anger in Serius' heart was instantly ignited by Athena's words.

'Didn't do anything excessive! ?So what was the suffering I suffered when I was six years old? '

But considering that in front of him was the Goddess of Wisdom who always had room for action, Seleus still forcibly remained calm.

"Then I dare to ask my lord goddess, when I was six years old, what is the 'divine grace' that you bestowed..."

Seleus spoke very slowly, and when uttering the word 'divine favor', Seleus pronounced it extremely emphatically.

"What a smart little guy!"

Athena's eyes became brighter. As the god of war and victory, she admired those warriors with superior force; as the goddess of wisdom, she admired those wise men who were wise and could control their emotions.

These two points have been taken up by Serius, and even that terrible soul has been polished by him to barely enter the eyes of this goddess.

"This concubine originally thought that I could induce you to get angry with the goddess so that you could use your merits to pay for doing a small favor to this concubine. But now it seems that this concubine needs to prepare a good reward."

Seleus was a little confused by the goddess' words, but Athena didn't want to waste time.

"My concubine gave you a good reward when you were offering tribute when you were six years old?"

'award?Is making my head feel like it's going to burst count as a reward? '

Seleus laughed angrily, but he soon realized that something was wrong, the goddess of wisdom was an extremely proud goddess, she didn't have to lie to deceive and mock a mortal like herself.

'Could it be that...'

"It seems that you have thought of it, the concubine is more and more fond of you."

The goddess gently walked around behind Serius who was kneeling on one knee, and poked Sirius' strong shoulder with a branch.

"You are right! The concubine gave you the talent to learn, otherwise, how could a mortal learn everything that Chiron has mastered in just a dozen years."

"I am the goddess of wisdom, how could I offend a warrior who is destined to be extraordinary because of some trivial matters? Although the filth on your body did offend me at the time, in the face of Hades and Hestia Come on, the concubine still left a little room, I didn't expect to use it so soon."

Athena motioned Seleus to stand up.

"Now, would you like to do my concubine a favor?"

Chapter 26 Seleus Accepts the Commission

Even mortals who have to run around for life every day will feel bored because they have nothing to do when they have nothing to do. So will the gods with endless life spans and noble births be bored?

The answer is certainly yes.

As gods, they recklessly enjoy everything that can bring them happiness in this world, but just like the fun of games will make people feel bored after a long time, gods often feel bored because of everything And fell into the confusion of doing nothing.

What would a mortal do if he fell into confusion?A wise man will disregard fame and wealth, be extraordinary, and devote his life to a glorious cause; a mediocre man will silently endure confusion and live only for the sake of life;

Children, however, are independent of all three.Those who are not entangled in common things will only do what they like, be happy when they get it, and cry when they lose it.On the one hand, innocent children will help up the broken flowers and plants because of their fun, and on the other hand, because of their fun, they will drop the chicks in the bird's nest to death.

People will always give children more tolerance, which is the prerogative of children's waywardness.

Gods are as capricious as children. To pass the boring time, they will seize every opportunity to satisfy their interests.

Sometimes they will satisfy the wishes of the believers in a seemingly easy-talking way, and indulge these believers so that their desires will grow bigger and bigger.

But when the greed of these believers is magnified to the limit, they will pretend to be angry and take back everything they have given, and impose severe punishment on these believers.

Are the gods really angry?Don't they really understand the consequences of what they do?

Of course they understand!
