In the high sky, the black eagle, like a shadow, spreads its wings and flies thousands of miles. With one more flap of its wings, it has already flown across thousands of mountains and countries.
Being chosen by the Snake Girl itself proves the concealment ability and flight speed of this giant eagle.
This eagle comes from the Yin Mountain in Hades. When the moon rises, it flies from Hades to the earth. When the sun rises, it flies from the earth to Hades again. It flies thousands of miles in a day and night.
Every night, it hides in the shadows of mortals. When people are not prepared, it spreads its wings and flies out from the shadows of mortals, disembowells mortals and eats their stomachs, hearts and livers.
No one could see it appear, so mortals were told that those who disappeared mysteriously were eaten by the shadow.
Its speed is extremely fast, but there are things in this universe that are faster than it.
Holding the baby in his sharp claws, he patrolled the sky with eagle eyes, but suddenly he saw a luminous god blocking the way in front of him.
"Violent!"
A horrified cry sounded.
The giant eagle wanted to escape. It flapped its wings and headed towards the west. But not long after it flapped its wings, it saw the luminous god standing with his arms folded, waiting for him in the air.
No matter how the giant eagle changes its direction, it will only find that the god is already waiting in front with a half-smiling smile.
There was fear in the eagle's eyes.
This is the first time this has happened since its birth.
"Fly, why don't you fly?"
Between heaven and earth, the sea and the underworld, the fastest and fastest god in hiking raised his head and spoke.
He wears a hat on his head with a pair of wings on both sides of the hat. There are also a pair of wings on the back of the sandals he wears. Even on the scepter he holds, behind his shoulders, there are wings.
Symbols are everywhere.
These wings are a tribute to the fastest god, symbolizing the fastest speed in the universe.
The wind cannot reach it, and the light cannot reach it.
Except for thoughts, nothing in the universe can move faster than this god.
The giant eagle was already frightened, but still wanted to escape. He left the baby behind and fled in the opposite direction desperately.
But the winged god just picked up the baby with his hands, took another step forward, and with the flap of his small wings at his ankles, he had already arrived in front of the giant eagle.
"Well……"
The giant eagle was about to struggle again, but its collar was already pinched by the gods. With a little more force, the giant eagle died.
Just like its birth, the dead eagle turned back into smoke and dispersed.
But in the arms of the god, the little baby never cried or fussed, but just slept soundly, as if he didn't know what danger was at all.
Carrying the baby, Hermes looked at it and felt that this should be his brother in the human world.
"My little brother in the human world, you were snatched away by a giant eagle when you were just born. It seems that your life is destined to be full of troubles."
Even as he was teasing, Hermes also vaguely felt that this little baby was destined to be anything but ordinary in his life.
Looking at the dissipating smoke, Hermes did not know the origin of this giant eagle, nor did he know who wanted to take away this newly born baby. But considering the life experience of this baby, Hermes
Si had a vague guess in his mind.
"Could it be..."
"Wow……"
While I was guessing in my mind, the sound of a baby crying suddenly sounded in my ears.
Looking down, in Hermes' arms, the baby who had been peaceful before suddenly started crying loudly. He was crying and struggling at the same time.
Why did you suddenly start crying?
Hermes scratched his head. He had never taken care of a baby, so he really didn't know why the baby was crying.
Sorry, let's send him back first.
…
On the earth, the two goddesses were walking together.
"There are always many strange things happening on earth."
The noble goddess held the bird in her palm, looked at the bird in her palm, and said softly.
The bird was not afraid of life. It screamed in the palm of the goddess, flapping its wings from time to time and pecking at the seeds.
There are no such mortal birds on the sacred mountain.
The loyal divine servants tried their best to decorate the sacred mountain of Olympus, but because of this, the sacred mountain was overly beautiful. It was solemn and sacred, beautiful and beautiful, but there was no fireworks at all.
In contrast, the ubiquitous suburban scenery makes people feel at ease.
Beside this goddess, the girl with bright eyes raised her lips.
"Hera, the scenery in this world is also very interesting."
The bird in her palm flew away after pecking. The Queen put down her hand and nodded while looking at the surrounding scenery.
"It's a good game to come and see the ground occasionally. Athena, I like it here."
Looking at the girl, the queen laughed.
Hera is the sister and wife of Zeus; and Athena is the daughter of Zeus and his first wife Metis.
Therefore, Hera is actually Athena's stepmother.
But as one of the most respected goddesses in the universe, their similar status, identity as both goddesses, and harmonious personalities make the two goddesses have a rare friendship.
The two noble goddesses carefully maintain their friendship with each other and occasionally go out together for outings.
Just like now, Hera put down her pretense of being a queen and did not wear her peacock pattern coat. Instead, she went out in white just like ordinary people.
Athena no longer wore armor and held a spear, but let her hair loose and dressed up like an ordinary human girl to go out.
The two goddesses were enjoying the rare relaxation time.
And at this time...
"Tritogenia."
Calling the nickname of the female companion next to her, the elegant goddess stretched out her hand, pointing her white arms as white as snow to somewhere in front of her, signaling.
The bright-eyed goddess looked back, with a pair of gray eyes looking in the direction pointed by the queen.
"Huh? Is it Hermes?"
Not far away, it was Hermes who was holding the baby and coaxing him.
This god, who was always known for his eloquent speech, was also in trouble. He could trick people into selling themselves out, but even so, he didn't know how to calm a crying baby.
"Hermes!"
Hearing a familiar female voice, Hermes, who was exhausted from being tormented by the baby, raised his head. After seeing the person clearly, he was so frightened that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
The one who spoke was Athena not far away.
Athena is fine, but the problem is, the person standing next to her is Hera. That elegant and noble goddess is staring at me?
If he met Hera at any other time, Hermes would definitely not feel any pressure, but it happened to be now.
Who is he holding in his arms?
He is the illegitimate son of Zeus.
And who is the person in front of him?
She is the wife of Zeus and the mistress of the sky.
Hermes vaguely guessed that Hera had sent the giant eagle before because she had noticed her husband's cheating.
Before, it was just suspicion, and Hermes felt a little uneasy, fearing that Hera would later find out that he helped Zeus hide the illegitimate child. Now that the real owner had caught him, Hermes felt...
I felt very panicked.
If Hera discovered the truth...
Hermes felt a chill on his back, but a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Ah, two noble goddesses, how could we meet you by such a chance? It is really an honor for me."
The god's handsome appearance and bright smile would definitely win the hearts of many young women at other times.
If it weren't for the crying baby in my arms.
Seeing Hermes' sincere smile, Athena was not moved by it, but vaguely noticed something was wrong.
"Hermes, who is this baby in your arms?"
Stepping forward, Athena took a look at the crying baby and asked again.
Hermes still had that bright smile on his face, but his mind was already spinning crazily.
What to answer?
The answer is that he is the illegitimate son of Zeus?
It must have been hung on the sacred mountain by the furious Hera, right?
The answer was that it was a human child that was picked up accidentally?
How could it be possible, since the gods didn't know his preferences, that he would be kind enough to pick up an abandoned human baby? Even Hermes himself didn't believe this.
Think quickly...
You can definitely think of it...
"actually……"
Hermes hesitated and hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide. In fact, Hermes was frantically thinking about what lie he should fabricate so that he would not be seen through.
What kind of lie would not be exposed and Hera would not be able to find out that she had been deceived afterwards.
Thinking in his mind, the crying baby in his arms made Hermes feel sweat on his forehead.
"Hermes, this child is hungry."
The queen, who had never spoken, now spoke.
Unlike Athena, who was smart but still a virgin, Hera had experience in raising children. After just a few glances, she realized that the reason why the child was crying was actually because he was hungry.
Taking the baby from Hermes' arms and comforting the baby in her arms, Hera already had a guess in her mind.
He raised his head slightly, staring at the god in front of him with his green eyes.
"You are a cunning and passionate traveler and a habitual thief. Did you steal the heart of another young girl? Only the newborn child was left for the poor girl?"
"Look, the traces of the theft are now right in front of the thief, but the thief still doesn't dare to say anything."
Obviously, Hera thought that this child was the child of Hermes and some mortal woman, and now she didn't know what to do with it.
Hera's deep hatred for having an affair made Hermes show no mercy to Hermes, and Hermes did not dare to refute her.
However, while flinching, luck and ecstasy emerged in Hermes' heart.
It seems that Hera didn't discover the truth, that's good.
There is a sense of survival in my heart.
Anyway, it’s you who thinks this is my child, so it’s not strange. I didn’t say anything, and I didn’t lie to you.
Holding the illusion that he would be able to find an excuse if he was investigated later, Hermes spoke vaguely and perfunctorily.
Hera had no suspicion, but Athena glanced at Hermes, and she seemed to notice something. Hermes did not dare to say anything about it, but pretended not to notice.
Hera, who was holding the baby, softened her face and coaxed her softly.
But the baby was hungry, and it was useless to coax her. So Hera glanced at Hermes, and Hermes stepped away knowingly.
Unlocking the clothes, the body injected strength into the newly born baby, allowing him to relieve his hunger.
Hera held the baby gently in her arms. The baby, who was still crying, gradually calmed down and sucked.
When the baby is full, he falls asleep again.
Silently looking at the little baby in her arms. Seeing him twisting in her arms, hugging her arms tightly, and finally falling asleep, Hera raised the corners of her mouth and gradually had an idea in her heart.
After the Queen tidied her clothes, Hermes appeared silently in front of the Queen following her call.
"Does he have a name?"
Hera spoke.
Hermes shook his head.
This little guy was snatched away by a giant eagle as soon as he was born, and he didn't even have time to name him.
"Then he has it now."
The most noble woman in the universe, the wife of the God King, the mistress of the sky said to Hermes.
"From now on, his name is Hercules."
Hera is the name of this noble queen of heaven, while Cleus means glory and achievement.
Heracles is the glory of Hera.
Hera took pity on the baby and nurtured him, and therefore promised to bring glory to the newborn baby.
No matter what his background was, whether he was noble or humble, he was destined to have a great career, because this was the Queen's personal promise.
Athena looked at it in surprise, but then, she smiled in the corner of her eyes, as if she saw the prototype of a hero.
This war queen appreciates heroes and has helped many heroes. It was also the first time for her to witness the birth of a great hero, so she found it very interesting.
Perhaps, we can try to give this destined hero some tests in the future?
The bright-eyed goddess thought happily in her heart.
However, unlike the compassionate Queen, and Athena who was both appreciative and interesting, Hermes, who knew the truth, felt that his mouth was dry and his face was almost frozen with a smile.
Hercules?
Let an illegitimate son of Zeus become the pride of Hera?
This... is a big joke.
Hermes gritted his teeth and decided not to say a word.
I don’t know anything, I didn’t say anything, if anything happens, don’t come to me...
