The world-devouring dragon

[I turned into pneumonia and got better after taking medicine, so there should be no problem]

"Bang bang bang bang..."

One is the strongest hero in ancient Greek mythology, and the other is a legendary swordsman in the infinite world. Both are strong men who are rarely encountered in this world. A wooden stick and a magic sword, the collision is like forging iron.

The huge and low roar was completely unimaginable. This was a battle between two humans, but more like a fight between giants.

The newcomers on the side were dumbfounded. Even if they didn't know how to fight, the fierce and fierce offensive could make people realize the sense of power in it.

But while laymen watch the excitement and experts watch the door, Ah Jiu's eyes are solemn, and his super dynamic vision allows him to clearly see the details of the battle between the two sides.

The swordsman's offensive is very fierce. He first learned from the world of martial arts, but he has fought many times in the world of medieval fantasy backgrounds, and even went to Monster Hunter World to hunt dragons. Therefore, a mixture of Chinese and Western styles has formed its own unique strong sword style.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a big sword, with the power to break mountains and rocks, and fight dragons, the legendary dragon-slaying warrior refers to a person like a swordsman.

But the swordsman, who had always been extremely powerful, was now suppressed.

It seems that there is no difference between the two sides, but in fact, Hercules on the opposite side has always been able to do it with ease. Even after knocking the swordsman back with a club in the middle, he nodded to the swordsman with interest and expressed his approval.

"The situation is not good."

Thinking in his heart, the two people in the battle have already decided the winner.

As if he was tired of it, the hero gave a strong blow and knocked the swordsman away completely. The swordsman hit the ground and the elf sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up, while the great hero of Thebes confidently looked down at the loser in front of him and said.

"You are a very good warrior, but unfortunately, you met Hercules today. Stand up, stranger, you are proud of today's results."

Strong and confident, and deeply proud of it.

This was the impression Hercules left on Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu helped his companion up and said modestly.

"Great hero of Thebes, your strength really surprised us. You have won our respect. I hope we can become companions in the next voyage."

Now was not the time to fall out directly, Ah Jiu gave the big hero a small pat on the back. Even if you are a great hero, you can still be flattered.

But at the same time, a voice sounded.

"Orpheus! I finally figured it out!"

Then, the handsome young man walked into the cabin excitedly, glanced at a few people strangely, and then excitedly said to the piano player sitting in the cabin.

"Your problem that day was completely a trap! The reason why I couldn't catch up with the turtle is because I can only catch up with the turtle when I catch up with it, and before that, it is definitely impossible for me to catch up with it."

The prince of Athens said confidently to the piano player.

After that day, he did not give up thinking, but kept thinking about the weird turtle chasing problem, and finally he figured it out.

No matter how you divide the time, as long as you limit the prerequisite to before you catch up with the turtle, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the turtle. Orpheus deliberately induced himself to fall into a trap.

The violinist was not surprised that the boy had seen through the riddle. The accomplished violinist strummed his strings with a strange smile on his face.

That's the mischievous smile you get when you discover you can play tricks on people.

"Really? Maybe the answer is indeed like this. However, Theseus, I just thought of a strange question and I am deeply troubled, so I really want to ask you, is it okay?"

The piano player pretended to sigh, and then asked as if he was distressed.

The young prince was stunned for a moment. He realized that Orpheus on the opposite side probably had evil intentions again, but he still couldn't help but provoke the general and refused to accept it.

"What do you want to ask? Just say it, I won't be afraid!"

The smile on the violinist's lips grew brighter.

It was so brilliant that the young prince couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

"Theseus, I heard that you drove your own ship to Crete alone in order to kill the bull-headed king of Crete, is that right?"

the fiddler asked.

Minotaur, this half-man, half-bull king ruled the island of Crete. As the prince of Athens, if he wanted to kill this man-eating tyrant, he had to sail a ship to the island.

Mentioning this matter, Theseus held his head high and said proudly.

"Of course, only I, like Hercules, can do such a thing."

The violinist smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, I heard that it is really a good ship. It is strong and fast. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, once blessed it, allowing the brave man to gain his love. But, Theseus, no matter how good the ship is, It will perish, right?”

The young man was stunned for a moment. Even if it is a ship blessed by God, it will still decay. The only immortals in the world are gods.

"Yes."

"After the ship is damaged, we have to repair it, right?"

"yes."

Theseus was still confused and nodded blankly.

The piano player plucked the strings, making a crisp sound, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"So I thought, if every time it decays, we use planks to repair the ship. Day after day, year after year, when all the planks are repaired and replaced, the ship will still be yours. That ship?"

"Of course...uh...this..."

Theseus thought for a moment and felt as if he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Yes, all the planks have been replaced, so is this ship still the original ship?

After hesitating, he replied.

"I think it's still the same ship, right?"

The smile on the violinist's lips grew stronger.

"So now let's imagine again, if we reassemble those rotten wood into a shabby old ship. So, a new ship, an old ship, these two ships, who are they? Which is your ship?"

Theseus was completely dumbfounded.

yes? no?

You can't own two ships at the same time, right?

He lowered his head, scratched his hair, and began to think about, new ship... old ship...

"The Paradox of the Ship of Theseus..."

Some of the newcomers said excitedly.

After a few days of supplementation and the help of the elders, the newcomer also knew a little Greek, so he roughly understood the conversation between the two.

"Is this Theseus?"

"The Ship of Theseus, a famous philosophical paradox, I didn't expect its owner to be right in front of me..."

"Is this Theseus very powerful?"

"Super awesome..."

The newcomers murmured quietly, and then were knocked on the head one by one by the swordsman.

When Ah Jiu saw Hercules and Theseus, he knew that this was not a good time for confrontation, so he just exchanged a few polite words and exited the cabin.

Theseus didn't ask until several people left.

"Who are these people?"

"A few strangers took part in the adventure, and the man named Swordsman is quite powerful."

Hercules replied.

There were so many people coming to visit Heracles like this that Theseus didn't pay much attention and ignored them.

And on the other side...

"You mean, Hercules has only accomplished two great deeds right now?"

After exchanging the information obtained with his companions, Ah Jiu began to think after hearing the information Bai Wu had obtained.

According to Bai Wu, Heracles is currently less than thirty years old. Among the twelve great deeds, he has only completed two things: killing the lion and the hydra.

It’s just that many mythological details don’t match up. For example, in the legend, Hercules was raised by Amphitryon, but according to the news, Hercules here claimed to be raised by the snake goddess of the underworld. big.

"That snake goddess? Have you heard of it?"

Ah Jiu was careful not to mention the goddess's name. In the world of mythology, gods are likely to draw attention to themselves when their names are mentioned. Although he didn't know if the world was like this, he didn't want to take risks.

Several people shook their heads, and even after Ah Jiu tried to ask a few newcomers, no one gave an answer.

The myth that was different from the legend made Ah Jiu feel a little irritated.

He thought for a moment and asked again.

"Is there anything else worth paying attention to?"

"Yes, the most important one is the world-devouring god, Typhon, the hundred-headed giant."

Bai Wu replied quickly.

In this world, many myths are roughly similar to those familiar to a few people, but there is only one very important thing that doesn't match up...

That's this inexplicable Typhon.

According to legend, Typhon should have died by now.

However, in the intelligence collected by several people, everyone agreed that this Typhon was promised by the God King to be the God of World Devouring and would one day devour the world. But the god-king Zeus tricked him into the abyss, from which he could never escape. Including the snake goddess, who is also the daughter of Typhon.

This place that was obviously inconsistent with the legend attracted Baiwu's attention.

"Is this another magically modified world?"

Greedy Wolf complained.

According to various legends and stories, many worlds will be generated in the infinite world. However, many worlds are often magically modified versions, which are subtly different from the legendary stories in some places.

For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu are actually giant robots. The monarchs of the Three Kingdoms fight in Gundam mechas in the world of Three Kingdoms Mecha Romance. Another example is the worldview of the Fairy Red Mansions where all the characters have mixed stories of gods, spirits, and monsters. Lin Daiyu, in the form of a fairy, beats the devil King Beijing violently. Another example is the magically modified world where all kinds of gods, ghosts and aliens are roaming around, and there are even more.

I have heard a lot about it in the Lord God World, and I have experienced it myself, so I don’t dare to be careless about the greedy wolf in the demon-changed world.

"It's hard to say, maybe..."

Ah Jiu was thinking deeply, as if he had some plans in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

As a team leader, you don’t have to tell your teammates everything.

"Okay, let's rest."

Before taking a rest, Ah Jiu glanced at the ship from a distance, the adventure ship that countless heroes longed to embark on. In the next journey, there may be many opportunities worth seizing.

We will make it through this punishing mission alive.

Ah Jiu thought silently in his heart.

In the corner of the field of vision, the invisible mission logo is always there.

Lord God, oh no, those words are like indifferent spectators, watching a few people moving forward in this world at a loss.
