At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

Everyone can understand...

That man - underneath his glorious achievements, was how sad and miserable he cried!

That pain is what drives him to keep fighting.

suddenly--

The picture before people's eyes has changed.

Coming to the world that was once the region of ancient Greek mythology——

There, Hercules was seen still awake.

"Berserker?!" everyone said in shock.

This is probably the second time that a memory fragment about that man has appeared.

No--

If you include the previous memories of Medea and the fleeting figure of Uncle B on the Argonauts,

That was already the third time.

But this is the first time to really explore that man's past.

‘Could it be some of the other adventures of Hercules? ’

People who are already familiar with the memory fragments will think of it with ease.

Maybe it will be a great cause like the Twelve Trials,

New Noble Phantasm? A Noble Phantasm that can defeat Jin Shining and turn defeat into victory?

Just when people are making random guesses in connection with the recent battle.

People saw it, boom~! With a dull sound, the body fell in front of Hercules.

This also attracted people's attention.

Powerful enemies, ferocious monsters, mythical beasts?

It’s not——

When people saw the bodies of human women and children that had begun to turn cold, they were all stunned.

Ordinary people?

That was an ending that people never imagined.

However, even the heroes' enemies are not just powerful monsters or mythical beasts.

People quickly brainstormed and gave answers.

However--

I just showed a sudden look, thinking I had understood everything.

People saw on the face of Hercules no joy in killing his enemies.

Instead, Hercules suddenly leaned over and hugged the two corpses, crying like a child in grief! !

It felt like being abandoned by the whole world,

The heartbreaking cry of losing a loved one!

For the meat-mountain monster who has always appeared as a tough guy - a man that people think is invincible - the great hero Hercules!

It exists like Gundam in the eyes of countless modern people,

A man who is almost heroic, fearless, and the strongest symbol of faith - crying, crying?

And she was crying so sadly? So moving? !

It's shocking enough that there are things in this world that can make such a powerful man cry.

And such a sad cry, as pure as a child, has no image at all... It is just a cry that comes from the soul, heart-breaking,

It's even more incredible for people.

until--

Those words come to mind.

'Small happiness - always slipping quietly from your fingers inadvertently.

Human beings always long for God's gaze, but they don't know that being gazed by God is not a good thing. ’

He left a great story in mythology that can be sung by countless humans in later generations.

The chapter called [Twelve Trials]——!

When people praise the heroic posture of the hero in the poem, does anyone still remember it?

That man was the initial cause of the trial.

past--

When his name was Alcides.

He once had a happy family, with his own wife and children, just like every ordinary person.

Live an ordinary life and enjoy ordinary happiness.

However, his status as a demigod and his bloodline to the God King Zeus ultimately destined him to have an extraordinary life.

As the illegitimate son of the God King,

He was displeased by the god-king's queen, Hera, and cursed him.

Hera's curse drove Heracles mad, mistaking his wife and children for his enemies and killing them.

Just as the meaning of his name itself - either the glory of Hera, or the persecution of those who have made great achievements because of Hera,

He committed a crime that he would regret for the rest of his life, and made that man unable to do anything to a child again.

Even if he looks like a child on the outside.

Everyone: "...! Actually, there is such a thing?"

It was an experience that people could never imagine.

At the same time, they finally understood why Heracles was so desperate to protect Illya.

Not only does he have the psychological shadow of killing his own child,

Therefore, do you want to protect your children from the bottom of your heart?

He is a real hero!

At this time, both righteous people and sinful people recognized such a man.

Even the enemies standing opposite him would appreciate such a hero.

Only children——

As long as it is not the kind of existence with completely depraved and distorted thoughts,

They won't do anything to the children.

That is the last line of adhering to human nature.

It is an idea that should not exist as long as we are human beings.

And for those who protect children,

Even if the original intention is not without reason, it is still recognizable.

This behavior is never wrong in itself.

That belief in wanting to protect the children is never wrong!

after--

People saw that Hercules killed his wife and children.

He was ordered by the king to embark on the road of atonement and must complete twelve trials to atone for the sins he had committed.

Only then did people understand the origin of the twelve trials.

No one wants to be a hero from the beginning...

Everyone has different reasons for being a hero.

And the most common reason is to want to be a hero simply because of longing and ideals.

And Hercules, who has already established a family and is about 40 years old...

If it weren't for the guilt in his heart,

how could there be the shocking 12 trials that people later knew about?

Facing the king's various difficulties, each trial was more impossible than the other, and the man endured them one by one.

Overcoming hardships and finally defeating hardships!

It should have been an extremely glorious thing--! But after truly understanding everything,

people still recalled Hercules's sad tears in their minds.

"..."

If possible,

Hercules would never want that glory.

Challenging the trials that are almost impossible to complete in the eyes of the world, isn't it also a suicidal act?

What kind of mentality did that man have when he embarked on the battle!

People's moods became inexplicably heavy. They silently looked at the powerful body that would always stand majestically like a mountain in the future.

There was no smile on his resolute face.

As a 'warrior'--

his image was already outstanding enough, even beyond people's imagination, and he had gained glory that many heroes dared not even think about.

However--

as an ordinary person, was he really...'happy'?

For a moment, people's hearts also sank to the bottom of the valley: "...Is this the past of Hercules?"

Chapter 1,488 The father who lost his child, the child who lost his father!

For others, adventure is the pursuit of glory,

but for the great hero, is it atonement?

He may not feel happy after completing those many great deeds that people look forward to.

In people's minds, an extremely lonely figure was outlined,

like a giant standing in the vast snow-capped mountains, but his heart was also like this windy and snowy world, full of silence...

Without vitality, without warmth,

In the second half of his life of regret, he has been walking alone on the lonely road of heroes.

The scene changed and returned to the castle again.

At this time, the battlefield between Hercules and Gilgamesh had gradually moved away and gradually moved to the inside of the castle.

When people looked at the angry and roaring Uncle B again,

Although he was completely irrational and seemed to be crazy and could not hear anything.

But people still felt his gentle and delicate heart.

'He must be awake now.

Even if he can't express it in words, he must know what he is doing and what he should do. '

People looked at Hercules who was like a father, guarding Illya tightly,

and then compared it to Kiritsugu's father who shed tears for six billion people but ruthlessly broke Illya's neck.

...Well,
