Chapter 50: Speech and Struggle at the Palace Party

After all the heroes arrived in Troy, they were immediately treated to good food and wine by the King of Troy.

In the past, it would have been a series of large-scale eagle parties. Greek heroes were very open about this. Many heroes in the past would not only feel weak after waking up, but also have sore buttocks...

However, this time they did not have such thoughts. Instead, they honed and improved their martial arts whenever they had time. They took advantage of the time when heroes gathered in Troy to take their martial arts to a higher level. After all, compared with the great achievements they were about to undertake,

The so-called desires pursued in the past are simply not worth mentioning!
Who wouldn't be excited to the point of raising their flags when they thought about completing a great feat that would go down in history? Before a higher ideal, previous desires were like dirt.

At the same time, it is also because they have the most perfect hero, Siddiqui!

Any injury will be healed perfectly, and this group of heroes will have no psychological burden no matter what kind of competition or duel they engage in.

Of course, there are also heroes who discover that Xue Lufen’s health problems are becoming more and more serious. He used to be like a normal person, but now he is like a dying old man, and he is extremely listless.

Tonight is still the banquet of the heroes in the palace. Everyone tells stories of his past achievements and adventures. Now, with the toasts going on, this heroic spirit has infected almost the entire Troy.

Odysseus, once the most shining protagonist in the late Greek period, is now an unknown and idler. He is not even interested in wine.

"Does a bunch of us, a ragtag bunch, really have a chance to accomplish that great feat?" He kept thinking in his mind.

It's not that he thought too much, because he was completely different from other heroes who came to make achievements. His goal from beginning to end was to have a wife and children and a warm bed.

His eldest son had just been born when he saw the Ragnarok and the devastating flood. He thought about it for a whole night before deciding to come to Troy, not for fame or fortune, but just to kill Zeus.

"You seem to be worried, Odysseus, King of Ithaca." Hector came over and raised his glass to clink with Odysseus.

These two people, who were once mortal enemies in history, were now like old friends at the banquet, looking forward to the future.

"Hector, the great hero of Troy, a hero who possesses godly martial arts and an indestructible spear..." Compared to Hector, who was already famous at this time, Odysseus was really unknown.

Why, with so many heroes arriving in Troy, was there no trouble? You have to understand that each of these heroes was unruly and unyielding, and they wouldn't give anyone a second thought. It was because this Hector, the fiercest warrior in front of them, had nearly single-handedly overthrown the entire Greek galaxy.

Even in this era without the Trojan War, Hector still defeated almost all the Greek heroes single-handedly with his martial arts that reached the realm of gods, so these heroes were willing to give face to this great hero of Troy.

And tomorrow is the day when this group of heroes will set out for Olympus. Even in the past half month, each of them has given hints due to Athena's divine revelation, so their true thoughts will not be discovered.

Only they themselves knew that they were going to "kill gods". Apart from that, any person or god who came to investigate would only know that they kept saying the word "great cause".

Therefore, it was hidden from countless gods who cast their sights here, such as Hermes, the spy of Zeus, and the spies of Ares, the god of war, and so on.

However, when the time came for them to set off, these heroes began to get nervous, and even had other inexplicable thoughts in their hearts...

Will it win?
Even the bravest hero would feel inexplicably frightened when he learned that his opponent was Zeus.

This is not fear, but an instinctive reaction, which is why there is this final banquet, which is also a farewell banquet.

Faced with Odysseus's question, Hector, who was now quietly becoming the leading Greek hero, remained silent.

He couldn't utter the three words "will win".

After all, their enemy is the God King!
However, at this moment, all the heroes turned their gaze towards the palace gate. Xue Lufa, his figure hidden in a white robe, appeared.

If these heroes from all over Greece were convinced of Hector, then for Xue Falun, it was pure admiration and respect.

What hero would not be impressed by the nobility of taking all suffering upon himself?
Even though they are heroes sung by the Greeks, they think they cannot achieve that level, so they respect and admire such people, are impressed by such figures, and voluntarily join the Thunder and become part of the group rushing towards Olympus.

And on Xue Lufen's shoulder, a pure white owl landed, and the next moment, the entire palace was wrapped and bound by divine power.

This is the divine power from the main goddess Athena, and it is also a means of isolating oneself from all fate and prying eyes.

All the heroes sat up straight, and the real arrangement came.

"Everyone, I am the incarnation of Athena." The pure white owl spoke in human language, and all the heroes present saluted the owl.

"I know many of you are wondering why we have to take such a 'farcical' way to go to Olympus." The owl looked at all the heroes here. They were either enthusiastic, thoughtful, or confused.

"Because as long as he's 'under the sky,' Zeus is the absolutely immortal God King. His immortality transcends the Greek concept. No matter what attack, curse, or pain, it is impossible to kill Zeus. This is the power of the God King."

When Athena revealed this information, all the heroes felt powerless.

Is their enemy such a terrifying God-King?
Yes, even Typhon, who was once called "Diablo", was controlled and sealed by Zeus. Can this group of Greek heroes really fight against Zeus?
"But, we have a chance to truly kill Zeus. We only need to lure Zeus to the underworld through trickery. Once we lure him to the gate of the abyss, we'll have the chance to kill him with a curse. And now, we've completed all the cursing procedures."

Athena's words gave them confidence, but one hero immediately asked, "Goddess of wisdom, how can we lure Zeus to the abyss?"

This is the most critical issue. They have no idea when Zeus will go to the underworld, and they don’t know whether it is his real body or just an incarnation that arrives in the underworld.

Therefore, what method can be used to ensure that Zeus himself will go to the abyss?
The situation had reached a dead end, and at this moment, Xue Lufeng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I have a plan."

All the heroes looked at Xue Lufeng. He raised his glass and said, "I will go to Mount Olympus to apologize for my sins, carrying a thorn on my back. At the same time, there will be a dagger coated with the poison of the Hydra hidden in the thorn."

"When I pretend to be loyal to Zeus and kiss the back of his hand, I will immediately pull out the dagger from the thorns and stab my father in the groin, destroying his authority on 'reproduction'!"

"The Heavenly Father cannot give up the power of reproduction. Therefore, he needs my head, my death. Only when I am in the underworld will he be forced to go to the underworld in order to reclaim that power."

"So, everyone, your task is to kill me once I make my move, cut off my head and offer it to Zeus, then pledge your loyalty to Zeus and take him to the underworld."

"In the underworld, is our final battle."

Even though Xue Lufen was very weak and his hand holding the wine glass was shaking, his gaze at this moment moved all the heroes present.

"This plan has only two outcomes: victory or death." He gulped down the wine in his hand, threw the glass to the ground, and turned away. "If I unfortunately fail, throw my head into the Aegean Sea."

The owl flew to Xue Lufa's shoulder, and he raised his right fist and shouted, "Victory!"

"Victory!" All the heroes drank the liquor together and smashed the glasses to the ground.
