Reversing Greek Mythology

Hippomenes would never have been able to surpass Atalanta if Atalanta had simply picked up the golden apples thrown in front of her.

But Atalanta turned and ran backwards in order to pick up the golden apple on the ground behind her, which made it possible for Hippomenes to surpass Atalanta.

Looking at this scene, Luo Yin was filled with contempt for Hippomenes.

Hippomenes is indeed a waste like Yin Asong. He has no ability to complete the test himself. He can only rely on the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to brainwash the goddess-like Atalanta and Medea. control and eventually come together with them.

After Atalanta picked up the golden apple in the lake, she saw that she was already a long way away from Hippomenes. Atalanta did not care about her mistake because she was confident that she would reach the end again before reaching the end. More than Hippomenes.

At this time, Luo Yin slowly ran to Atalanta's side and said to Atalanta who was in a daze holding the golden apple.

"Atalanta! Even if Hippomenes is a tortoise and you are the fastest hare, if you continue to waste time like this, Hippomenes will reach the finish line before you."

Atalanta came back to her senses immediately and said.

"This mistake will not change the result of victory. I didn't use all my strength just now."

After saying this, Atalanta gritted her teeth and chased Hippomenes like a fierce leopard.

In the blink of an eye, Atalanta not only surpassed Luo Yin at the speed of the wind, but the distance between her and Hippomenes was also shortened.

At this time, there is still half the distance to the finish line.

Perhaps the golden apple's attraction to Atalanta would become ineffective if the distance between the golden apple and Atalanta exceeded a certain distance.

Just when the distance between Atalanta and Hippomenes was about to exceed one hundred meters, Hippomenes threw the second golden apple.

Atalanta immediately seemed to be controlled by brainwashing, turning back again to pick up the golden apple.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hippomenes surpassed Atalanta for the second time.

When Atalanta picked up the second golden apple, Luo Yin ran to her side and asked.

"Atalanta! What's wrong with you? You are running in front and can't see the golden apples behind you at all. Why do you turn around to pick up these golden apples?"

Atalanta said angrily as she sped up to catch up with Hippomenes.

"How do I know what's going on? As long as I hear the sound of these golden apples falling to the ground, my mind will go blank. When I wake up, I find that I have picked up the golden apples, Hippo Menes has also run ahead of me. If this happens again, I will really lose the game and be forced to marry Hippomenes who uses despicable methods."

"I will not let Hippomenes get the better of you in this way and force you to marry such an incompetent good-for-nothing."

After saying this with a smile, Luo Yin also began to speed up.

When the three people are about to reach the finish line——

Atalanta once again passed Hippomenes, and Luo Yin also ran behind him.

Seeing Atalanta getting closer and closer to the end, Hippomenes finally threw the third golden apple.

The next moment!

Luo Yin used teleportation speed to reach Hippomenes and grab the golden apple. Then, under Hippomenes' unbelievably shocked gaze, Luo Yin easily surpassed Atalanta and reached the finish line first.

"Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"

Atalanta chased Luo Yin to the highest point of the hill. Her eyes were always attracted by the golden apple in Luo Yin's hand, and she even reached out to snatch the golden apple from Luo Yin's hand.

Luo Yin took the golden apple in his hand and looked at Hippomenes who looked lost and said.

"Poor Hippomenes, when you threw the third golden apple, you must have thought that the goddess of victory was coming to you and that Atalanta would become your wife. Now your dream is shattered, and you Are you feeling very desperate if you still have to accept the punishment of failure and be killed by Atalanta?"

"It turns out that you have the speed of a god. Even if I have the golden apple, I am already doomed to fail."

Hippomenes said with a self-deprecating smile.

"You ran behind me on purpose, just to see how miserable I was!"

Luo Yin did not deny it. Looking at Atalanta who jumped on him to snatch the golden apple, Luo Yin said with a teasing smile.

"Atalanta! Punish Hippomenes quickly. After he is punished, I will give you the golden apple."

"punish……"

Like a brainwashed person who received the order, Atalanta drew the dagger from her waist and walked towards Hippomenes.

Poof!

Atalanta thrust her dagger into Hippomenes' heart.

Hippomenes remained standing, not avoiding Atalanta's attack.

After fulfilling Luo Yin's request, Atalanta turned around and threw herself into Luo Yin's arms, snatching the golden apple again.

"Give it to me...Give it to me quickly..."

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you now."

While speaking, Luo Yin let go of his hand and let the golden apple fall into Atalanta's hand.

The moment Atalanta regained consciousness after receiving the golden apples, not only did the three golden apples in her hand disappear at the same time, but Hippomenes' body also disappeared, leaving only Atalanta's dagger.

After regaining consciousness, Atalanta saw herself lying in Luo Yin's arms, raising her hands upward as if to hug Luo Yin's neck. She immediately blushed and said loudly in shame.

"What do you want to do to me?"

Luo Yin spread his hands with an innocent look and said.

"I should be the one who said this! After all, it's you who is holding me, not me who is holding you."

At this time, Assos, Ariadne, and Philopia came to the top of the hill in a carriage.

Seeing Atalanta lying in Luo Yin's arms, Yin Assos said happily.

"Atalanta, I was indeed right to hold a proposal competition for you. Now the husband who can beat you with speed and win your heart has finally appeared."

Seeing that not only Atalanta, but also Yinsos was indifferent to the disappearance of Hippomenes, as if Hippomenes never existed from the beginning, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"I'm not the only one competing with Atalanta in the marriage proposal competition today!"

"What weird things are you saying?"

Atalanta left Luo Yin's arms and said full of doubts.

"Who else is the suitor who wants to compete with me today besides you?"

Luo Yin frowned and said after hearing Atalanta's words.

"Is it because Hippomenes is a fictional character made up by people hundreds of years later, so after he is killed, he will disappear completely? The same seems to be true for Manto, the priestess of Apollo. After disappearing completely, he will disappear completely. They didn't exist in the first place and no one would even remember them."

Yin Assos came to Luo Yin with joy and said.

"Dear Haemon! Because Atalanta has superhuman speed, I am really worried that she will not be able to marry, and I will not have a grandson to inherit my throne. You defeated Atalanta in the courtship competition, and now you are Atalanta Lante’s fiancé, I will hold a wedding for you as soon as possible.”

"Brother is mine!"

Ariadne immediately threw herself into Luo Yin's arms, hugged Luo Yin's neck with both hands, and said to Atalanta and Assos.

"Now Atalanta can abide by the marriage contract and become his brother's concubine, but she is not qualified to hold a wedding with her brother and become his official wife."
