Chapter 175 The Golden Apple Orchard in the Far West of the Earth

Giants seem to be born with extraordinary intelligence.

He stared at Perseus with his eyes wide open, his face as calm as water.

This caused Perseus, who had just won the victory, to feel an unreasonable fear in his heart.The giant in front of him was too quiet and too powerful, because he was really a giant, with those big hands that could uproot mountains.

Yes, this is the giant.Giants are different from monsters, they have no weaknesses, even if they are not as good as gods, they must be more perfect than humans.

They are huge and intelligent - impossible opponents for humans!

Perseus even had such considerations in his mind for a moment—mortals are just substitutes for giants!

Then, the giant moved, and every movement he made was like a boulder hitting Perseus' heart, making his heart beat wildly.

He stretched out his fingers thicker than the pillars supporting the temple to point at Pegasus, and the voice gushed out from his huge mouth, as grand as the wind and thunder were stirring, and it also set off a strong wind, stirring up huge waves on the sea.

"He is—Pegasus!"

The first thing he saw was the snake hair. This is a kind of animal that has never been seen before. It is rumored that it only appears in the heavens, belongs to the gods, and is a "member" of the gods.

After a while, he finally calmed down the emotion and walked towards the corpse of the female monster that jumped out of the giant and Pegasus.

His sinking caused chaos in the ocean, and the tide became rapid, wave after wave hitting the rocks non-stop, often before the last wave receded, the next wave would follow one after another, causing the sea level around the island to rise A little bit, all the reefs will be submerged.

Perseus was inexplicably excited.

He said loudly: "I am not an ordinary man, I am the heir of Zeus, the king of gods in the sky, and his son of gods walking in the mortal world!"

Perseus did not know this.He flies high in the sky, unable to see the changes on the earth.

He landed slowly with shock and some inexplicable upward desire, but landed in an orchard.

In this world, the first creator created the serpent, and Epimetheus, the successor, forgot it.

This provoked Perseus, who seemed a little annoyed: "Is my revered status not worthy of enjoying the golden fruit in the orchard? Do you understand that I am the son of the god-king Zeus!"

And the extremely fast speed can make people forget their troubles. Perseus forgot his troubles and the shock that the giant brought him.

The moment Perseus arrived, he had already awakened.

But the giant dragon said coldly: "So I only let you leave. This is the orchard of the Queen of Heaven, and you are not worthy."

After he left, the strong wind stopped, the tide receded, and the sea calmed down again.

Above the clouds, the shock of this day was more than that of Perseus in the previous half of his life - he saw the truth of the world, God!
In an instant, Perseus knew that the mortal throne could no longer confine him.

His chest has penetrated deep into the clouds, and the height of the end cannot be seen.

……

The giant said so, as if he had given Pegasus a name.

But Perseus also knew for the first time that there is a limit to the height of mortals, and the height of Pegasus has a limit. He rushed above the clouds, no matter how he rides Pegasus, he can't go to a higher level.

Then he was carried away from the orchard by the strong wind.

The god bag tied around his waist was dripping with blood, and the blood was sprinkled from the sky to the earth.

He looked at Pegasus, with inexplicable humiliation and anger in his eyes—he didn't dare to move or speak just now!
"Who are you!" His voice was trembling, with strong self-repressed emotion.

So he circled and flew towards the clouds on a Pegasus to explore the giant's secrets.

That's what Epimetheus does.

"Golden Apple Acres is not the place for you."

These were the words Perseus heard in the strong wind. Although the wind was strong, he could hear the contempt clearly.

He could only look up as far as he could, but he couldn't see where the end of the giant was.

Perseus got a magic bag from the goddess, and now he knows how to use it.He put Medusa's head in the pouch, and looked at Pegasus beside him.

Pegasus is very fast, much faster than the flying boots bestowed by the goddess.

Can communicate!

Death scenes are not pretty, especially when the body is incomplete.But monsters don't matter, especially a "monster" who can't speak and has no intelligence.

He is definitely the king of giants!
This made Perseus want to explore, having seen the power of giants, in his heart, giants and those gods enshrined in temples are the same existence.

So it's exhilarating to feel sorry for but also to feel honored at the same time.

The second time he looked more carefully, he noticed Medusa's face.

Now the blood of a god is dripping from the sky, that is the best "snake".

"It's so beautiful!" Such admiration spontaneously rose in his heart.

Then he turned around and ran to the sea, his huge body sank into the sea bit by bit, and he didn't even look at Perseus again, as if this son of the god king Zeus was nothing more than that.

There is a giant dragon sleeping soundly under the tree. It has a hundred heads, and each head has a long neck, like a standing "snake".

The gaps in creation are filled, and the world of creation is complete.

Too bad it's dead.

Epimetheus, the ancient god of creation, foresaw this scene and was waiting for it.

Following the power of creation, the dripping blood was colorful, they fell to the ground, twisted and crawled, and soon merged into the earth, merged into all things, and became a part of all things.

He looked back to the east, the sun was a little higher than him, but the height was limited, and there was a figure inside.

"Mortal, get out of here."

He tried to tame, but it was easy.

Hephaestus on the side also foresees it. He paints in the history books of the years. In the painting, the hero rides a Pegasus soaring in the sky. snake".

As rumored, it is not beautiful, and it makes people feel afraid.

Perseus picked up Medusa's dropped head, and the incision on the neck was still stained with blood.

The cold wind blowing high above, he flew west all the way, flying very far.

He even glimpsed one of the ultimate secrets that mortals can never see.

Only then was Perseus freed from the shock brought about by his huge body.

He saw the magnificence and shock of the grand world in the sky.The real world is even better than legends, the sea, the wasteland, the mountains, and the nymphs in the forest.

But the giant dragon whipped up a strong wind with its wings, and its words seemed contemptuous: "So what? Do you think you are under the crown of Vulcan?"

So he rode a Pegasus to fly high into the sky.

There are countless exotic flowers and plants in this orchard, but none of them are as conspicuous as the fruit tree in the center of the orchard. It is an apple tree, and the fruit on the tree looks like shining gold.

At the extreme west of the earth, he saw the giant Atlas supporting the world!
He has only seen two giants in his life, the previous one had already shocked him to the point of being speechless with fear, but this one was far more comparable to the previous one!

The strong wind didn't hurt him, and he landed safely.

In front of him, the tall giant still stood quietly between the sky and the earth, unable to see his shape clearly.He felt like an ant, not even qualified to be watched.

He was humiliated.He suddenly realized that the only thing that could fight against the "monster" was the monster itself.

He opened the magic bag around his waist...
