The Death Knell

As for Su Ming, he thought about it and decided to keep his money in a safe place.

He is a black account in the main world, so don't think about banks and the like, and he doesn't want to dig a hole and bury all his money like a corrupt official.

So finally, he arrived at Hephaestus' volcano with his silver suitcase.

It couldn't be safer to hand over money to the gods for safekeeping. They don't know what money is. Besides, where can you find such a strong security guard?

However, Vulcan began to ask him again about his thoughts on using the Gauss rifle, but it happened that he had never used this thing before.

There is no chance to use a black gun. I have been playing in the front row recently. It is impossible to fight with others with a rifle, right?

Vulcan seemed a little impatient, but there was nothing he could do.

He was wielding his hammer and forging a strange-shaped weapon. Amidst the noise of metal, you could intermittently hear him asking other questions.

"Last time you went to Olympus, did you provoke Eris?"

"No? She threw the golden apple at me, but I ignored her."

Su Ming recalled it, and the cold response shouldn't be considered provocation, right?

"She has been causing trouble in Olympus recently, saying that a mortal, that is, you, intends to marry three virgin goddesses at the same time, and she has produced evidence."

Vulcan said quietly while forging iron.

"What?" Su Ming almost choked. He had never even seen those three goddesses! How did this rumor spread?

"Eris took out the golden apple and gave it to Athena, saying it was your gift to Athena. Last time Athena lost to my wife in the competition for the golden apple, so she accepted it without hesitation this time."

"Well....."

"Then Eris got a white elk that not only glowed but also sang from somewhere, and gave it to Artemis, the goddess of hunting. She also said it was your gift. Artemis likes elk the most, and she also I accepted the gift.”

Su Ming fell into deep thought. Eris had probably been to the Kingdom of Dreams, and the elk should be a product of that place. But what kind of dispute would this cause? What fun can she watch?

Vulcan threw the weapon into the water tank aside to quench: "Finally, she went to the universe and somehow ordered the most advanced multi-functional smart stove in the universe from the 'Weapon Master'. In your name, she sent it to It was given to Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, and of course, she couldn’t refuse such a gift at all.”

Su Ming thought for a while: "It seems that nothing is wrong. I just don't admit it."

"That's the problem. She took out the second golden apple and gave it to Hera, saying that you hope the Queen of Heaven will allow it." Vulcan put down the hammer, watched the weapon emit a lot of steam in the water tank, and waited patiently. .

"It probably won't work. Hera can tell at a glance that she is lying." Su Ming shook his head. He was not very worried.

The flames in Vulcan's eyes swayed, and his mouth opened wide, revealing a mouth full of fangs: "However, Hera agreed."

"hiss......"

Su Ming took a breath, is this old woman suffering from menopausal syndrome? What kind of trick is this?

"There were many factors that led to her consent. One of them was the golden apples. These golden apples were written to be given to the 'most beautiful goddess'. If she refused, wouldn't she be admitting that she was not beautiful and not worthy of the golden apples? Secondly, The three virgin goddesses are the famous beauties of Olympus. Although there are some problems in their blood relationship, our father God has always been interested in them."

"Zeus had seven wives, and Hera didn't want him to round them up."

Su Ming said helplessly that he probably understood.

"In addition, they are the dream lovers of almost all male gods. Now there are a lot of gods who want to kill you, including Hades, the god of the underworld."

"Hades... doesn't he like Diana? Even though he is her uncle..."

"Yes, Eris also promoted you as Diana's partner, didn't you know? Hera also agreed with this statement."

Su Ming almost laughed in anger. Are these gods too busy to do anything?

The multiverse is about to be destroyed, why are you still doing this? Congratulations to those with tuberculosis? !

"Actually, I can guess a bit of Hera's intention. She has prepared twelve trials for you as a condition for you to marry the three goddesses. Do you know what this means?"

Vulcan stretched out his huge palm and patted Su Ming's shoulder armor, then squeezed it casually as if he had an occupational disease and studied the workmanship.

Su Ming already understood after hearing the twelve trials.

This is not only the formal qualification for mortals to enter Olympus, but also the test to become the God of War. The former Heracles passed this test and became the God of War.

It's a pity that he was tricked by Ares and only became a Hercules in the end.

However, now that Ares is dead, the current God of War is Diana, and Hera obviously wants to use Su Ming, who has no faction or blood relationship, to take over the position of God of War.

She knew that Diana didn't want to be the God of War, and seemed reluctant every time she came to a meeting. Hera justifiably took back her priesthood and rights.

When the time comes, Su Ming, who is isolated and surrounded by enemies, can only rely on Hera.

The three goddesses must be suffering and happy when faced with a gift they cannot refuse. Even Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is also a woman and cannot refuse the temptation of golden apples.

Eris' goal was also achieved. He watched the goddesses tearing apart Diana, and watched all the male gods make trouble for Su Ming. He himself caused the disputes and watched the excitement. He achieved multiple things with one stone.

I cheated three sisters and an aunt, so happy.

She is not afraid of others seeing through her lies, which is a conspiracy that targets everyone's weaknesses.

"I can see through her lies, but that doesn't mean others can. Many people believe Hera's declaration, because that is the only voice in Olympus now."

"The same goes for the three goddesses?"

"Yes, Hera should have given them a hush-hush order, but I guess they will also find ways to assassinate you for the sake of their own purity."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Vulcan." Su Ming nodded, all he needed to know was this.

Assassination?

He is not worried at all. He still has the task of finding Sandman. Death will not let him die. If Death does not nod, it will be difficult for him to die even if he wants to.

If this task is completed, then the Wuren family will be in debt to themselves. What will Olympus be then?

It seems that we have to carry out this mission quickly and get the Sandman back as soon as possible. There is no time to wander around.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly fell from the hole above the volcano and pierced Su Ming's chest without warning.

It was an arrow made of moonlight, which passed directly through Su Ming's armor, acted on his body, and then slowly dissipated.

"Well... there's a hole in the heart, it's nothing." Su Ming touched his chest, and shrugged in the helpless eyes of Vulcan: "You Olympians call this assassination? We humans generally call it assassination. This is called provocation."

"This is the first time I've seen a human being who can still talk nonsense after being shot by an arrow in the heart." Vulcan complained, saying that he was neutral and would not take any action.

Su Ming knew that this arrow was shot by Artemis. As the goddess of hunting and moonlight, her bow and arrow skills were absolutely cosmic.

But at present, it seems that the accuracy is there, but the lethality is not enough, the arrows are not quenched, it is too amateurish...

This woman is so naughty, it seems like she needs to be taught a lesson and let her calm down for a while.
