Me, Hydra

Volume 1: Text - 185 - Ares

Location, Mount Olympus.

Sitting in the garden, Ares quietly looked at the book in his hands.

It had been about three hundred and fifty years since we had last seen Hydra in the Amazon jungle, right?

I can't remember the exact time, but one thing is clear. That is, now that I am, I am a two-faced traitor.

Although I don't know how others view traitors, traitors within, but honestly, the view of traitors is nothing more than a derogatory view everywhere. Even if you succeed in assisting a proud son of heaven to achieve the imperial throne, the stain of being a traitor can never be erased in history.

People worship heroes, but they won't worship a duplicitous hero.

Lu Bu was the first war general of the Three Kingdoms, but what? Still cursed to be a family slave with three surnames. In the end, he even died tragically at White Gate House....

And as the God of War himself....

With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Ares' face rose in a slump.

Ares knew exactly what he was doing, and what his goal was. When he had made the contract with Hydra, Ares had known that there was no turning back from a bow.

Without war, relying solely on the faith that those so-called "heroes" could provide was a drop in the bucket.

Even when his daughter Hippolyta became one of the twelve trials of Hercules, Ares didn't have the courage to stand up to Zeus and ask him to change it.

For no other reason than that if Aphrodite had known about her earthly lover at the time, there is no doubt that Aphrodite would have wanted to deal with the Amazon Queen as she did with Leto. Leto was turned into a swan for sexual assault, and the Amazon Queen? A python?

In Zeus' eyes, the suffering of mankind seemed irrelevant to him other than being able to offer faith. Besides, if Zeus really knew of the beauty of the Amazon Queen, I'm afraid that Zeus himself would have felt his way there without Aphrodite's guidance....

"It's all about the family..."

Silently thinking, a touch of determination rose in Ares's eyes. There was no doubt that to Ares, even Athena and even Apollo were only apparently brother and sister. And in fact, the twelve main gods of Olympus wouldn't do anything other than trip each other's companions most of the time.

Shaking his head. Ares cleared the distractions from his mind.

According to Hydra's orders, there was now no need to be keen on chatting with other gods to get information. Although Ares had made many new friends as a result of asking for information. But unfortunately, it was all too late.

Still, whether it was Zeus or whoever else. But anyone who could appreciate the Ares of that time wouldn't have forged the current outcome.

But there was one thing, and that was that the current Ares also finally understood what the power of books and knowledge was. Relying on the books borrowed from the homes of other gods, Ares had also finally also reached the deficiencies of his original self as a war god.

But even realizing it now didn't seem to be of much use anymore....

Basically, whenever he encountered an incident or even a question, the think-tank from Sparta could always think of the best way and then tell him through Hydra's mental link.

In other words, in a sense, the current Ares was simply a puppet....

But Ares had accepted the identity as a matter of course. After all, the methods they offered were more accurate and effective no matter how you thought about it. The relative self... the total number of books read was not as long as the amount of time people spent studying one book at a time....

It is indeed best to hunker down now, Hades' participation in politics is very bad news both for me and for Sparta.

As he looked at the books in his hands, Ares' mind had already been put on Hades.

Hades was the King of the Underworld, and was also the first god to be born among the Twelve Lord Gods. The bloodline alone was the closest to that of their father, the Kronos God-King.

Although they had never fought, Ares was sure that if they fought, they would never be a match for their uncle.

Although the underworld is the poorest place, surrounded by nothing but beasts and an endless expanse of great gobi. But there was one thing that could not be denied, and that was that although it was desolate, it was the most suitable place for people to calmly cultivate.

That said, it also depended on the person. With Zeus' impetuous nature, it probably wouldn't take three days to get to hell before he would run out to find a woman. Hades was just the opposite, as the first child to be devoured by his father, Cronos, Hades was the highest among his six siblings, regardless of his qi and blood purchase or his phasic nature towards death. The half-life, half-death state that was devoured by Cronos in the beginning is even more so, it is not always roaming in Hades' body.

Therefore, once Hades entered cultivation in the underworld then the deadness of the underworld would envelop Hades like Hades, relying on this assistance, Hades' cultivation could even achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Zeus, on the other hand, if it wasn't for the lightning fire divine spear left behind by Hephaestus in the beginning as well as the nominal Olympus Holy Mountain God-King, he would be similar to Ares now.

After all, no matter what, the faith that the Olympus Holy Mountain God King's identity could provide was far superior to other godheads....

It's the same with Olympic competitions and bodybuilding competitions. People tend to remember only the name of the person who won the first place title. The second and third place finishers are merely championship foils in the eyes of the audience.

Just like the ranking of Olympus, apart from the famous ones... how many people still know the specific names of the twelve gods in the next generation?

Not only was Ares thinking, but in the Underworld, Hades also examined the changes in Ares over the past three hundred years.

It had to be said that Ares had changed so quickly, from the reckless man with a brain full of muscles to the warrior who now knew how to read out.

It would simply be a fantasy if it wasn't witnessed with one's own eyes!

"I wish you were truly changed and not because of Hydra..."

Looking at what was traced on the paper, the portrait of Ares. Hades' eyes became sharp.

Although it was unknown whether Ares was a traitor or not, Ares had changed so much that it was hard not to notice....

Volume 1: Text-186-Hades' actions

"Who are you?! Why did you come to my temple?!"

Looking at the sudden influx of guards, a bad premonition rose in Ares' heart.

And this premonition soon came true.

Ignoring Ares's scolding, the guards that poured in soon stood on guard at the various entrances and exits of the temple, and the UI on guard wanted to be none other than the master of this temple, Ares.

"Answer me! Soldier! Why come to my temple!"

As I was saying that, the voice that made Ares familiar and the last thing I wanted to hear suddenly came to mind outside the door.

"I'm the one who told them to do this."

As he said that, Hades entered Ares' temple with a gloomy face.

"You've changed so much lately, if you're talking about who among the twelve lord gods other than the lowly gods is most likely to be a traitor among us, the few most suspected alone, only you and Athena have ever been to Sparta... if you count the changes, is there anything else you want to say? ?"

Taking a breath, Ares looked at the indifferent-looking Hades in front of him and fell silent.

"Take what you're going to do to me?"

At the words, Hades waved his hand.

"You can rest assured that I won't harm you until it's thoroughly investigated. But you are one of the few most suspected people on Mount Olympus, and from now on, I will isolate you from all contact with the outside world until the truth is revealed. And until then...you'll stay in this temple."

Hearing Hades' words, Ares' heart was secretly relieved. But undyingly, he said, "Does it have to be like this? I only read because I learned the importance of knowledge when I was in Sparta! And we are a family of blood. How could I betray Olympus to join that demonic snake Hydra?!"

Shaking his head, Hades gave an indifferent glance at Ares in front of him.
