The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 78: Strange XP Awakens _2



"After all, whether we can survive this time depends entirely on the Shepherd of the Temporal World..." At this moment, Luo En, standing outside the door, nodded in satisfaction. This young man isn't foolish. No wonder he managed to survive under the frenzied Hercules. Not to mention anything else, his personality of clearly knowing his own strength, what to do, and what not to do, outperforms a large number of heroes by miles. "Lord Luo En, why haven't you come in yet?" Just as Luo En was pondering, a loud shout revealed his whereabouts. Hercules, who had hurried from outside the royal palace, sprinted to the bedroom door, casually pushed it open, and invited Luo En to join him inside. For a moment, Luo En and the two people inside the room locked eyes, and the atmosphere gradually became subtle. Whether it's secretly criticizing the deities behind their backs or eavesdropping outside the door, neither seems a very honorable act. Especially since the content of their discussion was whether or not to take revenge on a Chief God... Thinking of this, Admetos and Telamon couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts, and a slight sweat broke out on their foreheads. "Ahem." Luo En cleared his throat and took the initiative, "Telamon, I heard you had a son recently. I was in a hurry last time and didn't prepare a welcome gift. I'll make it up this time." As he spoke, he entered the bedroom and took out a bronze pendant engraved with the emblem of Medusa, handing it to Telamon. "Th-thank you for your concern," Telamon thanked him repeatedly, looking flattered. Luo En patted the robust man on the shoulder and explained with a smile, "This is an amulet. It might just protect your Ajax at a critical moment." In the original trajectory of fate, the son of Telamon, Great Aeas, would commit suicide out of shame due to a curse from Athena. Seeing how sensible Telamon was, Luo En decided not to be stingy, choosing to bestow this amulet to let Athena give Great Aeas a break in the future for his sake. Hearing the Chief God's words, Telamon finally felt relieved and took care to put away the gift solemnly. The Lord God of Wine was indeed as kind and gentle as the legends described, not only ignoring the talks behind his back with Admetos but also presenting his son with a life-saving gift. Watching the smiling God of Wine Luo En nodding at him, a warm current flowed through Telamon's heart; he eagerly arranged a seat and ordered the servants to add food and drink, leaving the quiet space for the three to talk. Sensible! Watching Telamon voluntarily retreat to the door to close it for them, Luo En was quite satisfied with his behavior and then calmly, he turned to Admetos and spoke in a serious tone. "In the last Battle of Thessaly, we already had the advantage, but those Divine Blood Heroes, disregarding orders, dove headfirst into a trap set by the Giant Spirit Clan, almost resulting in the total annihilation of our forces. The upcoming battles will only get more brutal, and we can't afford any mistakes at critical times. To win this war, such issues must be eliminated!" "But they are all demigods, naturally stubborn, and might not necessarily heed advice," Admetos said, looking troubled. Actually, there was another problem he was embarrassed to mention. The Divine Blood Heroes were allies who came to support Thessaly; as the king at the moment, he was entirely dependent on these Divine Blood Heroes to relieve his pressure, truly lacking the authority to command them forcefully. Luo En, of course, understood Admetos's concerns and smiled as he spoke. "So, let me be the villain. Hand them over to me, and I will take the opportunity to properly discipline these demigods before the battle starts!" Besides being the God of Wine from War God Mountain, he was also an honorary professor at the Academy of Athens and the commander of the All Gods' Alliance, thus naturally having both the duty and authority to instruct those demigods. Hearing the Chief God voluntarily taking on this difficult task, Admetos nodded repeatedly, immediately deciding to demolish a derelict residential area outside the Royal Palace and transform it into a dedicated training ground for Luo En and the demigods to use. Under the joint efforts of mages and alchemists, the construction was completed by evening, and the Divine Blood Heroes, who had received the muster order from King Thessaly, also gradually arrived at the training ground. Watching the demigods standing scattered around, privately discussing amongst themselves, Luo En raised an eyebrow and flashed a radiant smile. "Gentlemen, I presume you are all aware of the purpose of King Thessaly's summons today." "We know..." The voices of the crowd were mixed, high and low, clearly not very concerned about this so-called training. Seeing this, Luo En's smile grew even brighter, and he clapped his hands. Two figures walked forward from under the shade of the trees. "Let me introduce," continued Luo En, the God of Wine. "Medicine God Asclepius, Sage Chiron, distinguished guests I personally invited from Athens. The reason I called them here is that they share a common talent." The Divine Blood Heroes' curiosity was piqued, their puzzled gazes fixed on the God of Wine on the stage. A common talent? What is it? "Their medical skills are excellent, no matter how severe the injuries, they can bring you back to life..." Luo En answered leisurely, then slightly raised his hand, plucked a twig from a nearby nursery, and revealed a chilling grin to the hundreds of Divine Blood Heroes on the training ground. "Now that everyone is here, let's begin the first lesson!" Whiz! As Luo En stepped forward, the [Labyrinth]'s authority immediately activated, enveloping the entire training ground and whipping out the twig transformed into blood-red trails of afterimages. "Boom!" Accompanied by the earth-shattering crash, dozens of Divine Blood Heroes who were at the forefront flew out, deeply embedded into the stone walls of the training ground, forming grotesque murals.
