Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 271 The Truth of the Myth

"You are being polite, Mr. Hades. Originally, I came to hell for other purposes. Even if you didn't stop me, I will find a chance to leave later." Zheng Shu smiled.

The air in front of him began to fluctuate like water waves, and a figure wearing a helmet slowly appeared.

His body looks quite tall, but the muscles on his body are not too strong, and his appearance is very handsome, but because the expression on his face looks a bit gloomy, people always ignore his appearance unconsciously.

As soon as his figure appeared, Zheng Shu could clearly feel that the "world" around him had changed, as if the whole hell was cheering, and the whole underworld would change according to his will.

Hades, the king of the underworld, did not speak immediately after he appeared. He just watched Zheng Shu silently for a long time, until Zheng Shu looked at his body worriedly, afraid that something might be wrong with him, he sighed slowly. He took a deep breath: "Unlock the protection of the God's Armor."

Zheng Shu was a little confused by Hades' request, but he obediently spread out the breastplate in the middle of his chest, and at the same time, through the control of his own will, a gap was opened in the protective position of the Armor of God.

After all, standing in front of him is the master of the entire underworld, and among the twelve main gods of Olympus, he can be regarded as the most powerful Hades: Hades.

To be honest, Zheng Shu felt that if Hades really wanted to kill him, there would be no need for such a big deal.

After all, Hades' helmet is a well-known hidden god's weapon in the entire ancient Greek mythology, and as the controller of the dead, Zheng Shu's immortality has no effect at all in front of him.

As long as Hades wanted to, he could take Zheng Shu's life in the underworld at any time.

Seeing that Zheng Shu trusted him so much and let go of his own protection so simply, Hades' eyes seemed to be a little relieved, but then there was a flash of sadness on his expression.

Nodding slightly, Hades raised his finger and pointed to Zheng Shu's chest: "I bless you in the name of Hades, the god of the underworld... bless you never meet me again."

"What..." Zheng Shu was startled.

But before he could question, Hades' blessing had completely dropped, and a faint ray of light shot out from Hades' fingers, and lightly passed through Zheng Shu's intentionally opened protective stance and penetrated into his body.

The next moment, Zheng Shu felt that he was in so much pain that he could not speak.

Unlike Luna who didn't react at all when he gave blessings, and even required Luna to leave the "instructions" alone, Zheng Shu could clearly feel that his body was undergoing tremendous changes.

Originally hidden in his body, the imperceptible immortality originating from Mr. Chiron is expanding wildly. Even if he has not suffered any damage, Zheng Shu can still feel the obvious growth of immortality in his body.

However, the increase in immortality was only enhanced by the blessing of Hades, and Zheng Shu's real changes were reflected in his body.

After the blessing was completed, Zheng Shu could feel that every cell in him was blooming with terrifying power, as if every cell had become a nuclear power plant, continuously exuding terrifying vitality outward.

If immortality can ensure that Zheng Shu can still maintain his life in the face of critical injuries, then Hades' blessing allows Zheng Shu to recover even if all the cells in his body are wiped out.

Lifespan is no longer a concern for Zheng Shu, he can even feel that his vitality is still growing with the passage of time, which means that from now on, as long as the world exists, he can Live forever.

For the current Zheng Shu, the so-called rebirth from a drop of blood is not a problem at all, as long as he still has one cell alive, he can fully regenerate.

Even if all the cells are wiped out, as long as he is still in the Xingyue world, as long as there are people who remember his existence, Zheng Shu can be reborn from the source of the world.

"This is... you gave me your divinity?!" Zheng Shu suddenly raised his head to look at Hades, with a look of shock in his eyes.

Pure blessings, even if it is the blessing of the main god level, it is impossible for Zheng Shu to achieve this level of promotion. The only explanation is that Hades even separated the "life" side of his original divinity and presented it to Zheng Shu.

This is the most original divinity, which is completely different from the divinity in the conventional sense. If it is placed in some Western fantasy worlds, it can probably be understood as something like "clergy".

At this moment, Hades' already thin face became even paler, and his whole body looked precarious, as if he might fall down at any time.

"Don't worry, as long as the underworld still exists, my status as the lord of the underworld will not be deprived. As time goes by, this divinity will eventually be restored." Hades waved his hand and showed a gentle smile , "The help you have given me far exceeds this divinity, so there is no need to have any psychological burden."

Zheng Shu pressed his lips hard: "Then...thank you!"

He already felt that Hades, the God of Hades in front of him, was completely different from other gods. If he had to say it, it would probably be that the other side seemed unusually gentle.

Probably because the origins of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Xingyue World are completely different from other gods, so that they are actually very gentle to humans, but Hades' level of gentleness is second to none even among the twelve main gods level.

You know, because Hades is in charge of all the dead, so the belief in other gods is not a problem for him at all.

Zheng Shu thought that he didn't do too much. After all, it was probably nothing more than offering him sacrifices for more than ten years and helping him find believers in a few villages.

"Actually, even if I don't bless you, my divinity will decline soon, so don't worry too much, I have already made preparations for the restoration of divinity." It seemed to relieve the pressure in Zheng Shu's heart, Hades explained again.

Zheng Shu was attracted by what Hades said just now, and looked up at the god of the underworld with some puzzlement.

"Well... There is still some time before Hercules arrives in the royal city, and I can explain it to you slowly." Hades smiled.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, two stone pillars protruded from the ground, the size and height of which were just right to be used as chairs.Stretching out his hand to signal Zheng Shu to sit down, Hades sat on the rock like a brother, and slowly chatted with Zheng Shu.

……

……

In the beginning, the birth of Hercules was an experiment.

At that time, the main gods of Olympus had already known the upcoming battle through fate, because they suffered heavy losses in the last battle with Yuxing, and only the god of war Ares remained among the twelve main gods of Olympus. There is still his own machine god body left.

After the analysis of Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty who is good at intelligence and electronic warfare, she believes that the existing twelve main gods have absolutely no chance of winning in the upcoming war of Gigantes.

In order to protect their beloved human beings in the coming fierce battle, the twelve main gods started the initial god-making plan.

And Hercules, who was just born at that time, was selected as the initial experimenter of the god-making plan.

As the blood of Zeus, Hercules' talent far exceeds that of other descendants of Zeus, because he inherited part of Zeus's divinity by birth.

But just this little bit of inherited divinity is not enough to support Hercules to become the main god-level combat power, so Hera thought of a way, by feeding Hercules with her own breast milk, she gave Hercules a baby. Hercules passed on a portion of his divine past.

In this way, once Hercules can withstand the oppressive force of the divinity of the two main gods, he can continue to grow the divinity of the two main gods as he grows older, which is enough to support him to reach the combat effectiveness of the main gods after he reaches adulthood.

Fortunately, Hercules' talent was strong enough, and he withstood the pressure of the divinity of the two main gods.

Unfortunately, the collision intensity of the main god-level divinity is far beyond everyone's imagination. The young Hercules couldn't bear such pain, so he would go crazy every time the divinity clashed.

And this is why it was said in ancient Greek mythology that Hera's curse caused Heracross to go mad, because in a sense it was indeed Hera's power that caused this result.

After trying their best to resolve the divine conflict, the gods gave up their original plan and could only seal the two divinities in Hercules, allowing him to spend his life as a normal human being. .

And when Hercules' child was born, the gods set their sights on his child.Because this toddler actually inherited the divinity of two gods from Hercules, and because of the innate power, these two divinities showed signs of fusion in the child's body.

This phenomenon made the gods ecstatic. According to calculations, they only need to wait for this child to grow into an adult, and the two divinities in his body can be perfectly integrated under the power of time, and eventually even a power beyond Zeus may be born. .

Unfortunately, the gods are not the only ones who can see the future. Their enemies, the Gigantes, can also see fate.

The gods naturally also thought that Guigantes would try every means to kill Hercules' children, and they were all prepared accordingly.But no one could have imagined that the Gigantes used a loophole that the gods didn't notice-Hercules.

In a well-designed transfer of the tiger away from the mountain, the sight of the gods was briefly transferred away from the child, and Hercules, who was originally the last line of defense for his child, became the enemy's sharp blade at this time.

The divinity seal in Hercules' body was released, and the pain caused by the conflict of divinity made Hercules fall into madness again, and the child with the same divinity beside him naturally became his first child. a goal.

When the gods arrived, only Hercules and the corpse he held were left on the scene.

However, the gods were also surprised to find that at this time, Hercules did not go mad even though he had been in the pain of divine conflict.

Even though the muscles on his body were constantly trembling due to excessive pain, he was still able to restrain his reason and endure pain beyond the limit of human endurance.

And amidst the constant conflict between the divinities of the two sides, the gods also discovered that the divinity in Hercules had shown signs of fusion.

"So the gods picked up the previous god-making plan again?" Zheng Shu asked his own question when he heard this.

"That's right!" Hades nodded, "So Zeus and Hera reset the divinity seal in Hercules' body, and most of the divinity was sealed, leaving only a very small amount, almost a tiny amount. The untraceable fused divinity remained within Hercules.

The rest of the time is just waiting. We only need to wait for this weak divinity to grow to a certain level, and then we can undo the seal on him little by little, and let the fused divinity devour the gods left in his body by Hera and Zeus. sex. "

"What about the twelve trials?" Zheng Shu was a little curious, since he had already found a way to create a god, why did he have to carry out the twelve trials.

"Because time is running out..." Hades looked up, as if observing the fate of the world.

That's right, time is running out. When the gods are obsessed with making gods, the Guigantes are also trying to speed up the breakthrough of the seal.

After the incident of Heracles' madness, the gods have understood, and more than half of the twelve main gods went to the world to find the traces of Guigantes, delaying their speed of breaking through the seal as much as possible, to save Heracles. Les grows to buy time.

But even so, the growth rate of the fusion of divinity in Hercules' body is too slow, so the gods can only think of ways to increase the growth rate of this divinity.

"The essence of the so-called divinity is other people's belief in the divinity holder. Of course, if you want to transform your own belief into divinity, you need some special methods, but after holding the divinity, as long as If someone praises your reputation and divinity, you can gain rapid growth." For some reason, Hades looked at Zheng Shu in a strange way when he said these words.

"It is also because divinity is the praise of other people to the holder of divinity, so unless it is a gift from the holder, theoretically speaking, divinity cannot be stolen or imitated by others." Hardy Si said silently in his heart, "Of course...you are an exception."

The fact that Zheng Shu could copy Chiron's divinity made the gods scratch their heads. They couldn't understand how Zheng Shu, a power that should not be able to be copied theoretically, copied it.

For this reason, Zeus even went to find Prometheus who was still locked up on the cliff. Unfortunately, even Prometheus, who specializes in wisdom, could not find the reason why Zheng Shu could copy the divinity.

"In short, the gods finally figured out a way to improve Hercules' reputation by using trials that ordinary people can't complete at all. And this method has another advantage, that is, after Hercules' strength is improved, he can Help him quickly adapt to the increased power. To ensure that Hercules is not a deity with empty power after he is fully grown."

"I see." Zheng Shu nodded clearly.

He finally understood why he didn't feel the aura of divinity from Hercules when he saw him for the first time, because at that time the divinity in him was extremely weak, and most of it had been taken away by Zeus and Hera. sealed.

And this also explains why Hercules can get such a big improvement after completing the trial, even his own template has been refreshed.

Because when he finished the trial, the beliefs gathered on the target of the trial were attracted by the divinity of Hercules and became the nourishment for his growth.

For creatures, the growth of divinity itself is a behavior that has crossed the limits of creatures. Every increase in humanity will make creatures go beyond their original limits and move towards gods.

This kind of improvement efficiency is much stronger than technologies such as "Blood Violence".

At this time, Zheng Shu suddenly remembered what Hades said before, "the preparations are ready to restore divinity", and then he suddenly understood why Hercules' current strength is obviously insufficient, but he can fight in the future. According to myths and legends, defeat the god of the underworld who lives in the underworld.

"It seems that you understand." Hades smiled after seeing Zheng Shu's expression, "Yes, I was going to 'gift' part of my faith to Hercules, after all, his Although the growth rate of fusion divinity is very fast, it is still far from enough.

After the ten trials that Hera predicted at the beginning, it was found that Hercules was not strong enough. As a last resort, we added two more trials.But after calculation, even after completing this trial, his strength is still not enough to play a key role in the battle with Gigantes.

But even for Hercules, asking him to complete the No. 13 trial is too whimsical. There is no way, we can only think of this method. "

"But isn't that too unfair to you?" Zheng Shu was a little puzzled.

"But I am indeed the most suitable candidate. As the lord of the underworld, even if all the people on the ground spurn me, I can rely on the belief in the soul of the underworld to recover quickly." Hades seemed very calm, " With my recovery speed, I can completely catch up with the war with Guigantes, and even now, most people on the ground are afraid of me, so it is best to use my reputation to pave the way for Hercules. suitable.

The moment he 'beats' me, those fears gathered in me will be transferred to Heracles, and become the nourishment for his divine growth..."
