Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 273 The Truth
Theseus seemed very friendly to Zheng Shu, not only because Zheng Shu had a good relationship with Hercules, but also because Theseus could clearly feel the power contained in Zheng Shu's body when he was in hell.

Although it is still far behind Hercules, it has surpassed the strongest hero in Athens.

Being the prince of Athens, if you can build a good relationship with such a hero, it will be of great benefit. Even if you can't pull him to Athens, simply maintaining a good relationship is a good gain.

In addition to taking out the medal to prove his identity, he also hopes to use it as a token to get in touch with Zheng Shu. Even if the battle cannot be driven immediately, it is a good result to have a drink and chat with each other first.

Contrary to Theseus' expectations, Zheng Shu's eyes lit up suddenly after seeing the medal he took out, and he snatched it away.

Although he was dissatisfied with Zheng Shu's rude actions, Theseus still showed his self-cultivation as a royal family. Seeing that Zheng Shu was so interested in this medal, he helped Zheng Shu explain the details of this medal eloquently. The origin of the pattern:

"This is the medal of the city of Athens. The carved pattern on it is the head of the monster named Gorgon. The hero Perseus killed the sea monster Cetus with the severed head of Medusa. Finally, the head was dedicated to Athena, the goddess of protection of heroes, who fixed it in the center of her shield or breastplate. Up to now, the image of this head has been used in the emblems of Athens, architectural decorations, coins and even soldiers' On the shield. Of course, only the royal family can use this kind of head portrait as a badge..."

boom!
Before Theseus could finish his sentence, he was hit by a fist on the face, interrupting what he was going to say next.

Caught off guard, Theseus was hit with a ghostly expression by the powerful force transmitted from his fist, and his whole body flew upside down and rubbed against the ground for several meters before stopping.

"You talk too much, Theseus, it's time to stop." A deep voice came, and Hercules closed his fist.

It was not Zheng Shu who interrupted Theseus, but Heracross who was on the side, because he had already discovered that as Theseus talked more and more, Zheng Shu's face became more and more ugly.

Hercules, who has a huge body, has an extremely delicate mind. Although he doesn't know what is going on with his "brother" from the same school, his sense of responsibility as a "brother" still makes him disregard the possibility of offending the whole of Athens. As a result, punches stopped Theseus from chattering.

The first reaction of Theseus who was knocked to the ground was anger, but after seeing Zheng Shu's performance, he immediately realized... he just got into trouble!

Zheng Shu's current expression didn't look too angry, and even looked very calm.But everyone present could feel that beneath the calm was tumbling anger, which filled people with fear like a volcano about to erupt.

Because Zheng Shu's emotions were too excited, the huge magic power in his body even resonated with the outside world. The two broken cloaks on the back of the God Armor were blown violently by the huge magic vortex. All living things can feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Zheng Shu's body.

Even the three-headed hellhound brought out of hell by Hercules took two steps back cautiously. The suppression it received in the human world was not small, and if the little thing in front of him went crazy, he would not be able to beat it.

"Boom!"

Swallowing with difficulty, Theseus suddenly became grateful to Hercules. Looking at the state of the man in front of him, if it hadn't been for the punch Hercules gave him just now, his head would have been separated by now.

After glaring at Theseus fiercely, Hercules quietly covered the two of them with his body and stood in front of Zheng Shu.

After a little hesitation, Hercules was ready to protect himself, then reached out and patted Zheng Shu on the shoulder: "Zheng Shu?"

"Don't worry about senior brother, I can still control my reason." Zheng Shu didn't suddenly violently hurt others as they expected, but just spoke very calmly, but he didn't know when it started, his voice became extremely hoarse.

"Hmm..." Seeing that Zheng Shu could still speak normally, Heracross secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You...you can tell me if you need anything, and I will definitely help you!"

"Thank you." Zheng Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile to show that there was nothing wrong with him, but he failed.

"Something happened in my family, so we may have to part here, sorry!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Shu didn't care about Hercules' reaction, and controlled the two cloaks on the back of the Armor of God to unfold.

The two black cloaks that didn't look too big were stretched immediately after receiving Zheng Shu's order, and soon the two cloaks, which were only the size of a torso, grew to the size of two or three people.

The huge black cloak extended from the armor of the battle armor, fluttering slightly with the operation of magic power, it looked like two huge black wings grew from Zheng Shu's back.

With the infusion of Zheng Shu's magic power, the cloak became tougher and exuded a faint light.After the magic power in the wings reached a certain amount, Zheng Shu just waved it a little, and his body left the ground and flew towards the sky.

boom!
A bang came from the sky, and Zheng Shu stretched his "wings" with all his strength after leaving the ground at a sufficient height. Driven by the terrifying magic power, Zheng Shu's whole body smashed into the air in an instant, bringing a white sonic boom cloud Disappeared in the sky.

"He...he flew?" Theseus stared dumbfounded at the white trace left by Zheng Shu's flight in the sky.

No matter what era it is in, the magic that allows people to fly freely in the sky is the most top-notch. Generally speaking, even gods have many who cannot fly freely at all, and must use special props or mounts.

"Yes, he is Teacher Chiron's apprentice, my junior." Hercules looked at Zheng Shu who disappeared into the sky and nodded lightly, with uncontrollable worry in his eyes.

"Hope you're okay..."

high in the air.

Zheng Shu followed the guidance in his heart and kept flying in one direction. The magic power in his body was poured into the two cloaks behind him continuously, so that his flying speed continued to rise, rise and rise again.

The birds and beasts in front, after sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Zheng Shu, left his flight path as if fleeing for their lives. Some villages that are closer will find that their own villages can suddenly catch more prey.

Occasionally, when passing over the village, the villagers on the ground will worship Zheng Shu as a god after seeing Zheng Shu's flashing figure in the sky, and will link the future harvest situation of the village to this person who did not show up. On the gods.

Zheng Shu, who caused the confusion, didn't know about these things, and his face became more and more ugly during the flight.

Flying is never an easy task for an individual. Even with Zheng Shu's current strength, the ocean-like magical power in his body is almost exhausted after flying such a short distance.

Although Zheng Shu would not suffer any damage with his current defensive power even if he fell from a high altitude, for the sake of efficiency, what he should do now is to fall on the ground to rest and recover, and wait until his physical strength and magic power are fully recovered Make another round of flight.

But for Zheng Shu, he has another better choice.

"Panel, strengthen Hercules' latest strengthening template to overwrite the original strengthening template, and directly strengthen it!"

Accompanied by Zheng Shu's will, the light blue light curtain trembled slightly, and several messages quickly emerged:
【Command received】

[Consume 50% of the impact factor to strengthen]

[The impact factor has been consumed, physical strengthening begins]

Progress: 250.32%→200.32%
The green light group enveloped Zheng Shu's body, but Zheng Shu forcibly ignored the strengthening process that should have been carried out in a quiet state.

"what!!!"

Because he wanted to forcibly move during the strengthening process, the already terrifying pain increased again, even with Zheng Shu's endurance, he couldn't help but scream out.

But even so, he still didn't give up and continue flying. Instead, he continued to infuse the magic power continuously generated in his body into the cloak behind him. With enough magic power, the flying speed of the cloak went up to another level.

In order to divert his attention, Zheng Shu began to think about what happened before.

The moment he saw the head of Gorgon on the medal that Theseus handed over, Zheng Shu finally understood what it was that he felt wrong in his heart after completing the Arming of Gods.

That's right!How could he ignore such an important matter?

Hercules is the great-grandson of Perseus in terms of blood, and Perseus is also a very famous hero in ancient Greek mythology. There is a "monster" in his most well-known deeds: beauty Tussaud.

Now that Hercules has grown so big, the deeds that Perseus experienced have all been completed, that is to say...he has already killed Medusa!
Moreover, the pattern on the medal of Theseus confirmed Zheng Shu's guess that even in the ancient Greek mythology of the moon world, Perseus did kill Medusa.

So here comes the question, if Medusa was dead before he crossed over to the Xingyue world, then who was the Medusa he met on the nameless island? !
Thinking about it carefully, Zheng Shu's panel confirmed that Steno, Uriel, and Medusa are all genuine gods, but the enhanced templates of these three gods named after the Gorgon monster cannot be integrated with each other.

That means that one of these three people must have a problem.

Reminiscing again, Zheng Shu felt the curse related to the gods that was expelled from him at the moment when he completed the armament of the gods.

But no matter before or after lifting the curse, his body and memory did not suffer any obvious changes.Combined with the fact that he has not realized that Perseus has completed his "great cause", the influence of the curse on Zheng Shu is already obvious-this curse only affected part of Zheng Shu's trial judgment ability.

Essentially, it didn't do any harm to his body, it just made him unconsciously ignore information or memories related to Medusa's death.If it wasn't for the God's Armed Forces to dispel the curse, Zheng Shu might have found a new reason for it even if he saw the medal with the Medusa's head pattern on it.

To be able to issue a curse that can only be issued by a god, and if you want to complete this curse without any gap between Zheng Shu, you must be able to achieve it when he is extremely weak.

In this way, the situation is very obvious. Only two gods who are also on the nameless island can achieve such a condition and cast a curse on Zheng Shu: Yuri Elli and Steno.

After figuring this out, Zheng Shu also connected all the clues.

Whether it is in the myths and legends, or in Xingyue's pan-human history, only Medusa is special among the three Gorgon sisters. His two sisters have the innate immortality of gods, but Medusa It is a "defective product" that will die.

According to myths and legends, Perseus actually killed the remaining two goddesses who were also the Gorgon banshee, but Euryale and Steno would immediately resurrect and attack him. Only Medusa was really killed.

On the other hand, the relationship between the three Gorgon sisters in the Xingyue world is actually quite good.

Although it seems that the two sisters will often bully Medusa who is the younger sister, in fact, only Medusa was exiled on the unnamed island at the beginning, but Steno and Uriel were also voluntarily exiled for Medusa. Exile stayed on the same island as her.

As the masters of the world's rules, the gods themselves have the ability to change the world with their own will.

The killed Medusa, the three Gorgon sisters who have a good relationship, and the ability to change the rules of the world.

Connecting these three clues together, combined with Zheng Shu's reaction, I sorted out my memory, and found that every time I saw Medusa, there were two goddesses, Steno and Uriel, next to me, so The result is obvious.

—— Zheng Shu's experience on the unnamed island was actually just a dream, a dream made by the two goddesses who were unwilling to admit the truth.

"Steno, Yuri Ellie." Zheng Shu endured the pain of body transformation, but his flying speed continued to rise in a straight line, "You two...it's time to wake up!!!"

Accompanied by Zheng Shu's heart-piercing roar in the sky, he crossed a long distance, broke through the storm and fog at sea, and saw the small island on the distant horizon.
