In Hercules' memory vision, time is forever frozen in a spring thousands of years ago, in an unknown wasteland on the Greek Peninsula, where the hero who completed the twelve trials washed away his blood, looked up at the sacred mountain of Olympus, and thought about his future path.He had not yet reached the end of his miserable life, the last time he stood as a human on the land of his homeland, and the next time he returned to this place, the fragments of Olympus that had fallen from the sky had burned the entire land.So his memory is frozen here, at this moment, he has lost a lot, but he still has a lot, his heavenly and heavenly homeland is still there, his father is still sitting on the throne, he has not yet thrown himself into the whirlpool of the world of gods - he is still a human being.At least consider himself a human being."
I don't like Olympus," Hercules said, standing side by side with Hao Ren on a boulder, his hands on his chest, looking up at the sacred mountain in his memory, part of which has been blurred, which is the realm of Hera, the queen of heaven, "The gods are cruel - I don't know how people of your time understand and imagine the age of mythology, but you can guess as viciously as you can."
Hera used to ridicule my father by saying that 'this man is addicted to having sex with his own animals,' when in fact most of the 'gods' on Mount Olympus see humans in this way.They are also very conflicted, they have unparalleled strength, a hundred times more powerful than the people on earth, but they find that the humans on the earth have the same appearance as themselves, which makes them confused and angry.The gods dissected countless mortals in order to find evidence of the fundamental difference between the Olympian gods and the mortals on earth, to prove that the two species were indeed born different, and their ultimate conclusion was that no matter how close humans were to the Olympian gods, their souls were just animals.So then I didn't like that place, even though I used to yearn for it. ”Hao Ren thought that Hercules would immediately tell him about the artifact and Vivien, but he didn't expect that the hero would start to remember the past first.But memories are memories, he thought, and Hercules said that it should make sense."
What kind of group is the Olympian 'gods'?"
Hao Ren asked following Hercules' words."
Distorted and depressing, I finally figured this out after hundreds of years of living on that mountain," Hercules' voice was low, "At first, I was bewildered by the radiant appearances there, but slowly I came into contact with the true side of the gods: they were like trapped beasts in a cage, like lost urchins, confused, anxious, confused and contradictory, on the one hand they showed full authority and strength over humans, but on the other hand they were always worried about their fate, They seem to know when the end will come, and even know the causes and consequences of the end, but they can't do anything about it.Sometimes I wonder if their meanness and cruelty to humans is due to this pressure.They can't hide from the future they will eventually face, but humanity will not have to face this fate, and even the human race will one day build a new kingdom on the ruins of Olympus, so they will be furious and angry......"
"Zeus knows that Mount Olympus will eventually be destroyed?
”Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Did he ever say what caused the destruction?"
”"He said that sooner or later it would be destroyed, for whatever reason, for in this world, all intelligent beings except those who were in the dirt were just poor prisoners exiled to this place, and the death sentence had fallen on these prisoners, and the day of execution would come one day, in whatever form.Very few people know these secrets, and they are basically limited to the twelve main gods, but beyond that, 'demigods' like us are also qualified to know.My father seems to think that this catastrophe will only befall the pure Olympian race, and those of us who are half mortal ......
Instead, they will be spared.Now that I think about it, the countless half-blood descendants left behind by the gods of Olympus may also be secretly arranged by my father - to use mortal blood to escape the disaster, and use Olympus blood to continue the inheritance. ”Hercules said what he knew, and Hao Ren couldn't help but move his eyebrows when he heard it.This seemingly unfounded speculation is probably a possibility—based on Zeus's ignorance of the "original sin of divine blood", perhaps he would really think of avoiding or weakening this original sin by creating a large number of half-blood offspring!
And his methods cannot be said to be ineffective: the heterogeneous offspring of the half-breed do have some resistance to innate hostility, but this effect is still useless after all.The Witchers were so affected by the Excalibur that they simply wouldn't stop hunting just because they were targeting a half-blood."
What is Vivien's role in Olympus?"
Hao Ren asked curiously, this is the key to the problem."
She?
She has an important role in almost all of the gods," Hercules clasped her hands to her chest, "she is the only individual who is not inherently hostile to any race, and no race is ever too hostile to her.She's fought countless opponents, including witchers and 'aliens', but have you ever heard of anyone who has a mortal enmity with her?
”Hao Ren thought about it and shook his head."
Because she is a balance, the only hope for the calamity.My father once said that all exiles in the world have committed the same great sin, which is to anger a power that created the universe, and this great power has left the only way for sinners to redeem, and that is to seek forgiveness from the Forgive.Vivien?
Ansesta is the Forgiver, who came to earth on a mission to forgive sinners, but she does not forgive everyone, nor does she know her mission.My father knew the secret, and was interested in befriending the ancient Blood, hoping for that precious place of forgiveness, but now it seems ......
After all, no one was pardoned. ”Hao Ren noticed a discrepancy between the information he had received from Hercules and the evidence from the Ark of Origin.According to the evidence in the Ark of Origin, the "forgiveness" actually happened at the beginning, the goddess of creation completed the pardon of all races at the moment of the fall, and it was the Ark of Origin and the time and space fortress of Yugudo Lahir who carried out the pardon, and Vivian's identity was just a guide, but in the eyes of Zeus, Vivian was the one in charge of pardon - he thought for a while and thought that this was a problem with Zeus's intelligence.After all, Zeus did not know about the existence of the Ark of Origin.After making this conclusion in his heart, Hao Ren looked at Hercules: "Then what happened to that artifact?"
Why does it have Vivienne's powers?
”"Because it's Vivien?
Ansesta made it with her own hands.Of course, now the person concerned probably doesn't remember this incident. ”Hao Ren was really stunned this time, he was stunned for a full minute before he held back a few syllables: "Yes......
She did it!?
Didn't you say that the core of the artifact was obtained by chance?
”"Yes, the core was indeed found by my father in a strange cavern at the bottom of Tartarus, but we didn't even have time to learn anything about it - the countess suddenly appeared in front of us just as Athena put it on the bench, and I happened to be there, so I remember the situation......
Her eyes were blood-red and her sanity didn't seem to be very clear, and she rarely violently knocked all the guards away and forced her way in, then demanded that we hand over the core. ”Hao Ren swallowed: "You handed it over?"
”"She snatched it," Hercules laughed, "the countess's strength is strange, sometimes weak, sometimes incomparably strong, and that day she was incomparably strong, so Ares was beaten to the foot of Mount Olympus by her three moves, and Apollo was beaten on the spot until he fell unconscious."
Then the father came in a hurry, and told us not to hinder her—so the countess took it with great dignity.Three days later, she returned and handed us a scepter, saying that the core was sealed in the scepter, and that the scepter could produce a steady stream of powerful magic, which was the only safe way to dispose of the core.After handing us the scepter, she departed, and was not heard from for a full century. ”Hao Ren immediately thought that this should be Vivien's own sleep cycle.If Hercules' words were true, then Vivien's slumber that year was obviously very different from all the others."
Hathaway didn't tell me that detail......"
Hao Ren muttered."
Because I didn't tell her about it.""
It seems that Vivien already knew about the danger of the core of the scepter, but if it is such a dangerous thing, why should it be handed over to you?"
Hao Ren suddenly couldn't figure it out, "Isn't it okay for her to keep it herself?"
”"I don't know," Hercules said, spreading her hands, "Athena had thought the same thing, and she said that the only answer was that the countess could not hold the scepter herself, and that the scepter would be a hundredfold more dangerous when it was in her own hands, and that if the scepter was sealed somewhere, the fluctuations in energy it would leak could attract the attention of other families.It would be better to leave the scepter in the hands of Olympus, for my father took the promise and would keep the artifact safe. ”Of course, there was another possibility—Hao Ren thought—that Vivien was already asleep, and she didn't have time to think of a better way to deal with it, so she had to hand over the scepter to the Olympians first."
The scepter does give us great power," Hercules shook his head with a wry smile, "a century later, the countess came back and didn't mention the scepter again, and my father didn't mention it to her at all, so he didn't mention it to her at all." ”"Greed, ......"
