Chapter 174 Giant and Pegasus

The two gods waited for the opportunity.

It didn't take a moment for the sun to rise, and when the first rays of light hit Perseus's face, he woke up immediately.

He is ambitious and ready to go.

Yesterday's dream is the best proof of a hero's great deeds. The gods in the sky never forsake him, and his father is always watching him.

He went to the harbor, hoisted his sails, and sailed with the wind.

Coincidentally, today's wind is also exceptionally strong, and what's more, the sea was still calm before Perseus hoisted the sails.

This is the busy nature and the busy gods in the sky.

Maia, the goddess of wind and rain, never stops in the sky.When and where the wind blows, when should it rain, and how heavy the rain should be, so that Perseus will suffer without capsizing his ship.

All the gods who come here have their duties, except for the two "idlers".

Hephaestus and Epimetheus strolled in the sea. They scanned every god they passed, commented on their past, explored their strength, and discussed their future.

They talked about Perseus, about heroes, about the relationship between the world and the gods, the connection between mortals and the world, and some homework, about Pandora and Clotho.

In such small talk, Perseus soon reached his destination.

He has experienced wind and rain, sea monsters, and all kinds of difficulties and dangers along the way, and he wants to be a worthy hero.

There was a rather large island in front of him, and according to the revelation in the dream, the person he was looking for was here.

He stood on the deck of the ship and watched, the beast instinct in every mortal body was warning, so he had a sign for a moment

——It was not that he found the island, but the island came to him, like a wandering beast following its prey.

Perseus dispels the illusion at once, for a hero does not hesitate, and neither does he.

He strode onto the island, climbed over the reef, and went deep into the woods.

In the woods, three goddesses are also waiting for him, or three female "monsters".Their father is Phorcus, the father of all monsters. They were born with only one eye and one tooth, and the three of them had to use them in turn.

Undoubtedly, they are one of the failed works of Phorcus, the father of all monsters, with slow movements and congenital disabilities.

However, gods are gods after all, even if they are born with disabilities, they cannot be provoked by mortals.They knew it when Perseus approached.

But they were unmoved, and the removed eyes and teeth were put aside.

When Perseus found them, he was also taken aback by their appearance.He quickly realized that the monster in front of him was invisible.

His eyes rolled around, looking around, and he was very lucky to find the eyes and teeth not far away.Just as the murderer finds his sword, so he finds his own.

Hephaestus and Epimetheus stood deep in the woods and had a panoramic view of this scene.

Hephaestus said leisurely: "Mortals think they can hide from the gods, but they don't know that their every move is in front of the gods."

"This scene makes people laugh."

"But the three girls who are one of the protagonists can't laugh, they are already numb."

Epimetheus replied: "The transaction is like this, and you will not be happy as a bargaining chip."

"Even if they are not the bargaining chip to be sacrificed, they will face such bad luck at any time."

……

Threatening Perseus with stolen eyes and teeth, the three gods showed him the way deep in the woods.

Since then, he has despised gods and monsters.He thought, maybe those gods who were placed in the temple had a reason, those monsters and little gods wandering outside, their weaknesses are so obvious, as long as a decisive mortal like him masters the method, it is easy to deal with them matter.

Those three monsters are proof that even if the eyes are returned, they who only have one eye will be afraid when they see the sword in their hands clearly. They only have one eye, but they are disabled people.

Before entering the depths of the woods, he looked back at the three monsters, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and then walked in without looking back.

In the depths, Athena, the beautiful goddess of wisdom, awaits him to reward him for his valor.

Athena gave him three treasures, namely a magic bag, a pair of flying shoes, and a dog-skin helmet capable of invisibility.

At this time, Hermes, the god of business, also came, and he gave Perseus a bronze shield. The surface of the shield was extremely smooth, like a mirror.

Athena told Perseus.

——Don't look directly into Medusa's eyes, or you will be turned into a stone statue.

— Reflect her with this shield while she is sleeping soundly, and then cut off her head.

So Perseus set off with great enthusiasm.

He returned to his big ship, sailed with the wind, and found another island.

On the island, after some exploration, he found the goal of the trip—Medusa.

As the goddess said, she was sleeping soundly.

He couldn't help but feel even more contemptuous.

But where he couldn't see, the one he feared, the god Phorcus, the father of monsters enshrined in the temple of mortals, stood before him.

From his body, the ruthless force pressed on Medusa, who was half human and half snake, so that she could not wake up.

An invisible, spiritual wail is resounding through the island.

The girl is begging for mercy.

"Father, why?!"

"Forgive me, Poseidon has come to be close to me, I will surely fulfill my mission!"

"No. It doesn't make sense." Her father, Forcus, responded to her.

"Now that you're dead, I can get more."

Perseus also walked up at this time

He used the mirror-smooth side of the bronze shield to reflect Medusa sleeping soundly, so that he would not turn into stone if he did not look into her eyes.

He raised the sword in his hand, took a deep breath and slashed it down.

The hidden Phorkus also chopped off his palm at this time, and as his palm fell, the sword in Perseus' hand also became faster and more swiftly, and a strange force was entangled on the sword.

Medusa died, her head fell off.

From her corpse jumped out a flying horse with two wings, and crawled out a giant that grew up against the wind.

They are gods and anchors for which Hephaestus awaits.

He kept Medusa in history, and after countless years, when the giant and Pegasus merged into one, Medusa would leave in history.

That day was too long, and perhaps the Giant and Pegasus were unwilling to call her back.

ps: The more this novel is written, the more it tastes wrong. It deviates from my expectations, and it is not a qualified novel that can be read by readers.

But fortunately, I'm used to it, and it's not a big deal to bite the bullet and write it down. If I can't hold back anymore, I will stop abruptly.

Update from time to time, take your time.Maybe I can open another one, and take my time with the two.
