Chapter 184: The Invulnerable Lion Skin Breaks the Defense

Seeing that Hercules looked like he couldn't bear to hurt himself, Luo Yin looked at the giant Zeus behind Hercules and said.

"Hercules, do you know the characteristics of hero myths? In hero myths, if the hero's great deeds are to protect his country, then the demons that the hero defeats in the myth are gods or heroes from foreign countries. If the hero goes to a foreign country to create great deeds, then the truth is that the hero invades a foreign country as an enemy, and the gods or kings who protect the foreign country will be degraded to the image of demons. For example, your ancestor Perseus, although he failed in the war to conquer Athens, degraded the patron goddess of Athens, Athena, into the image of the snake-haired demon Medusa. Now you are an invader to the Trojans, but you are a hero exploring the colony to the Mycenaeans. Even if you escape in a panic today, the Mycenaeans will glorify your invasion of Troy as saving Troy, and the goddess of the sea who protects Troy will be degraded to a sea monster killed by you."

"This is a really interesting statement."

Hercules said with a smile.

"I know that for the foreigners I invaded, it is natural to regard me as a demon. But I am Hercules of the Mycenaeans. As long as I can fight for the interests of the Mycenaeans, I don't care whether I will be regarded as a hero or a demon."

"We really don't need to care! Because no matter how people rewrite the myths hundreds of years later, they can't distort the real reality. Hercules from Mycenae, now I want to protect Troyen and fight against you, the foreign invader."

"You are a Theban who came to protect Troyen. What benefits did the King of Troyen give you? Will he marry the beautiful Princess Hesione to you and make you the heir to the throne?"

"Idiot! I just want to step on your head and let everyone know that I am a stronger young hero than you-this is the benefit I want."

After speaking, Luo Yin stretched out his right hand to summon his divine spear.

Seeing that Luo Yin really wanted to fight against him, Hercules showed a cold expression on his face.

If Haemon's sister Megara was still Hercules' wife, perhaps Hercules would let Luo Yin, his brother-in-law, go.

But now, Hercules already had his second wife, Deyin Anila.

Hercules killed all three children born by Megara, and after Megara was given to another man by Hercules, Hercules would not feel guilty about the Creon family at all.

After all, Hercules, who was crazy enough to kill his own children, was a Mycenaean hero with foreigners' blood and tears on his hands.

"Young Haemon! Even if it was you who challenged me, I would not show mercy to you."

Hercules strode towards Luo Yin, raising the wooden stick as a weapon in his right hand.

When the distance between the two was close enough to attack each other with weapons, Hercules directly swung the huge wooden stick and smashed it at Luo Yin's body.

The next moment!

Luo Yin raised his left hand and held the wooden stick that Hercules threw at him.

Hercules obviously didn't expect Luo Yin to have the same strength as him, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Luo Yin's right hand stabbed Hercules' body with the divine spear.

Hercules, who came to his senses, dodged backwards, but was still pierced through the abdomen by the divine spear.

"This is impossible--"

Hercules took a few steps back to distance himself from Luo Yin, and looked at the wound on his abdomen with an unbelievable expression.

The first heroic feat that Eurystheus, the king of Mycenae, ordered Hercules to complete was to destroy the Nemean lion that was causing chaos in the great forest of the Argos region.

Because the Nemean lion had an invulnerable lion skin, Hercules strangled the Nemean lion and made an invulnerable armor and helmet with the lion skin of the Nemean lion.

Since then, Hercules, wearing lion skin armor and a lion head helmet, has been invulnerable and has never been injured again.

Now Luo Yin's spear blade pierced through the invulnerable lion skin armor, causing Hercules' body to be injured, which was enough to prove a fact that Hercules could not believe.

Hercules looked up at Luo Yin with a shocked look and said.

"You are not Haemon - which god are you disguised as Haemon?"

As a favorite of Zeus, Hercules knew very well that he was already the human closest to the gods.

Luo Yin had the power that was not inferior to Hercules, which could barely be explained as a certain god giving Luo Yin great favor.

But Luo Yin was able to destroy the invulnerable lion skin, which was obviously beyond the realm of humans.

Because the Nemean lion was a divine beast, only the power and weapons of the gods could destroy the lion skin of the Nemean lion.

This was also the reason why Hercules could only strangle the Nemean lion and could not kill it directly with weapons.

Zeus, who was confronting the goddess of Troy City, also lowered his head and looked at Luo Yin with vigilant eyes.

Luo Yin disdained to lie to Hercules.

Hearing Hercules' words, Luo Yin said with a playful smile.

"If I am not Haemon, then where is the real Haemon? I am the real Haemon in front of you! If you want to deny my identity because you have not defeated my confidence, then you can pray to Zeus and let Zeus lend you his divine power."

Although Hercules is not the high priest of Zeus, he is a demigod who was granted the identity of [Son of Zeus] by Eurystheus, the high priest of Zeus.

So Zeus can not only lend his divine power to Hercules, but also possess Hercules.

Looking at Luo Yin who was full of contempt for him, Hercules showed a fierce and angry expression like a lion.

After looking at Luo Yin and Laomedon with a meaningful look, Hercules turned around and led his sailors to the six ships parked on the coast of Troy.

This time, Hercules' purpose was to test the empire ruled by the sun goddess.

Hercules came to Troy on his way back. The successful invasion was a pleasant surprise, and there was no loss even if he failed.

So with his body injured, Hercules wisely chose to retreat.

Hercules left with his sailors, and Luo Yin did not chase them.

Because Hercules returned to Mycenae with injuries, people could believe the fact that Luo Yin defeated Hercules.

"Hercules just ran away like this?"

Looking at the figure of Hercules leaving, the king of Troy, Laomedon, said in surprise.

"Merchants from Greece say that Hercules is the strongest hero of this era, with many heroic deeds of defeating mythical beasts. I didn't expect that the so-called strongest hero would be easily defeated by a young hero."

"King Laemedon! Hercules is indeed the strongest hero of this era."

Luo Yin turned around and looked at Laemedon on the chariot and said.

"I can defeat Hercules because I used the power of the gods. If you underestimate the power of Hercules, you will definitely learn a painful lesson in the future. Because Hercules is just testing the strength of Troy City this time, and he will invade Troy City with many heroes in the future."
