Reversing Greek Mythology

Luo Yin was able to become the final winner in the civil strife for the throne in Mycenae, expelling Agamemnon and Menelaus and ascending to the throne of Mycenae. Diomedes had long understood that Luo Yin was not a rumor. Instead of a weak and incompetent coward, he is a young hero with great strength.

But he still couldn't believe that Luo Yin could conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions in just a few days.

Just when Diomedes was in a daze, Aegialeus, one of the eight heroes of the coalition, Diomedes's uncle, suddenly said.

"Even if you are really King Tantalus of Mycenae, you are not qualified to stop us Argives. The strength of our city of Argos is not inferior to that of Mycenae. In the past, it was because Mycenae had The great hero Heracles, our city of Argos, will make King Mycenae the great king of the entire Argos region. Now even if the old Heracles is resurrected from the dead, our city of Argos. Nor will they surrender to Mycenae again.”

Hearing Aegeareus's words, Luo Yin kept a smile on his face and sneered while raising his divine spear with his right hand.

After saying that, Luo Yin waved his right hand and threw the divine spear at Aegialeos.

puff--

The next moment, the divine spear penetrated Aegialeos's body.

Then, under everyone's wide-eyed shock, the divine spear left Aegialeos' body again and flew back to Luo Yin's hand.

Holding the shaft of the divine spear with his right hand again, Luo Yin showed a provocative smile and said to Diomedes and his grandfather Adrastus.

"You eight heroes are all related to each other. Who wants to avenge him now?"

Although Diomedes is the most powerful hero of the coalition, the commander of the coalition is not Diomedes, but the heroic god of prophecy and medicine - Alke, the son of the prophet Amphiaraus. Myon.

Just like the First Theban War ten years ago, King Adrastus of Argos was the convener of the coalition, and the commander was the prophet Amphiaraus.

After recovering from the shock of Luo Yin killing Aegeareus with one blow, Alcmaeon looked at Luo Yin solemnly and said.

"Are you a human being, or a god disguised as a human being? If you are an immortal god with an immortal body, even if we have the most powerful heroes and eight thousand soldiers, we must obey the gods. will to avoid repeating the mistakes of the First Thebes War ten years ago.”

"What you see before you is the King of Mycenae, not a god disguised as a human being."

After hearing Luo Yin's answer, Alcmaeon said with a solemn expression.

"The Aegialeus you killed was my cousin. Even if you are really King Tantalus of Mycenae, you must be punished by the Furies for your crime of killing Aegialeus - —”

Before Alcmaeon could finish speaking, Luo Yin threw the divine spear at Alcmaeon.

Poof!

The divine spear penetrated Alcmaeon's body. Alcmaeon's eyes immediately widened, and his body left the chariot and fell to the ground.

Two of the eight coalition heroes who initiated the Second Thebes War were killed by Luo Yin in the blink of an eye.

The elderly King Adrastus of Argos was greatly shocked when he saw his son Aegialeus killed by Luoyin.

At this time, he saw his nephew Alcmaeon being killed. Adrastus could not bear the blow. After widening his eyes and letting out a scream, Adrastus also fell down from the chariot and turned into a staring corpse. A corpse with big eyes that never closed its eyes.

"Grandpa——"

"uncle!"

"uncle!"

The death of Adrastus, the oldest and most senior among the eight heroes, caused a greater blow to the remaining five heroes of the coalition than the death of Aegeareus and Alcmaeon.

After all, the eight heroes of the coalition were able to gather together because Adrastus summoned them as an elder.

Now that Adrastus is dead, the five remaining heroes have different ideas.

Before the five heroes could recover from their grief, Luo Yin took the initiative to speak.

"Even if Adrastus provoked me, I had no idea of ​​killing this old man. I didn't expect that he could not bear the blow and died. You are all the descendants and relatives of Adrastus. Who wants to do it now? Adrastus' revenge?"

After the five heroes looked at each other, no one wanted to avenge Adrastus.

After all, if Adrastus is alive, they will not be able to inherit the throne of Argos City and the throne of Sicyon City owned by Adrastus.

Now that Luo Yin allowed them to inherit the throne left by Adrastus in advance, maybe they were thanking Luo Yin in their hearts at this time.

When the divine spear left Alcmaeon's body and flew back to Luo Yin's hand, Diomedes said to the four heroes around him in a solemn tone.

"Even gods can lie! Although he doesn't admit it, I suspect that he is not Tantalus, but a god disguised as a human. This god has caused us to lose three important relatives, Will we leave in fear of the gods, or will we repeat the mistakes of our fathers who died in Thebes ten years ago?”

Insmene's other nephew, Thersanteros, the son of Polynices, looked at Diomedes dissatisfied and said.

"Dear cousin! Rather than regaining the throne of Thebes for me, do you want to return to Argos and inherit the throne of your grandfather Adrastus?"

"I just don't want to challenge a god without any intention and sacrifice our lives in vain."

The other three heroes agreed with Diomedes' words, and Thersanteros immediately left them and drove his chariot to the center of the battlefield.

After a while, Thershantros came to Luo Yin and Insmene, stopped the chariot and said.

"King Tantalus! Aunt Insmene! I am the grandson of Oedipus and the son of Polynices. Like my cousin Laodamas, I hold the throne of the Kingdom of Thebes. The legitimate heir. If Themis, the great goddess of fairness and justice, has not abandoned me, I demand a one-on-one duel with Laodamas to decide who will own the throne - just like my father Polynice ten years ago. He fought a duel with his brother Eteocles."

Upon hearing Thersanteros's request, Insmene immediately looked at him with pity and said.

"Why should you repeat your father's mistakes? Your fathers died together in a duel ten years ago, and your duel will have the same result now."

Thesanteros was already enveloped by the shadow of death, so he did not take Insmene's warning seriously.

Laodamas, who was also shrouded in the shadow of death, immediately rode his horse to the center of the battlefield after hearing Thersanteros' proposal for a duel.

"Thersanteros! I don't want the innocent soldiers on both sides to sacrifice their precious lives because the two of us are fighting for the throne, so I agree to follow our fathers and decide the outcome of this war with a one-on-one duel."
