Mythology: Spiritual Ruler - Chapter 577
Chapter 577 Complaint
“【Golden Balance】…”
Listening quietly to the story of this well-known erudite in the world, Hercules is no stranger to this name.
Like the [Sword of Evil-killing Sword], known as the “Sword of Judgment”, the [Golden Balance] is the artifact of the ancient Titan god, the goddess of law and justice Themis.
And on the earth on earth, it is also called the “balance of justice” and the “balance of judgment”.
Whether it is a lofty king or a beggar begging for food on the roadside, almost everyone has heard of this artifact that is regarded as a belief by the judges in the mortal world.
In legend, it is the most fair judge in the world. Whether it is subordinate to material treasures, land, loyalty, good and evil that belong to the soul, or rights and status that only exist in concept, there is nothing in the world that cannot judge the superiority and distinguish between the importance of it.
Even among some rumors, there are rumors about the ancient **** entering and leaving the world after death.
So for a moment, many nobles were frightened by this and even deepened their belief in the gods. After all, no one could be sure of what the end of their souls after death.
Should you enter the realm of Pluto, or should you forget the past and begin a new life under the baptism of the river of forgetting, and even be placed on both sides of this scale to measure the blessings after death by faith.
The unknown brings awe, and awe brings faith… But then again, what is the connection between this famous artifact and the son of Tifeng?
“…this is exactly what I want to tell you, Hercules.”
“I think you should know that many of the alien powers of the son of Tifeng have certain connections with the gods.”
“For example, the relationship between the lion skin on your body and His Highness Hestia [Guardian], and the relationship between Hydra Hydra and the Goddess of Life.”
“So is the case with Sphinx, and what is related to it is His Highness Themis, the goddess of the law.”
Holding a branch casually, the centaur painted the original mural on the stone wall.
The battle between the gods and Tifeng, the divine blood dripping from the goddess of justice, the Sphinx born under the stimulation of the unique divine blood combined with the legacy of the King of All Demons…
The great hero looked at the murals, as if history had come to the present.
In front of him, Chiron continued to tell this little-known story.
“It’s different from other great demons, perhaps because the authority of the Goddess of the Law contains a deeper order, or perhaps because of the deviation brought about by her justice.”
“In short, unlike other great demons, Sphinx is not bloody.”
“It just wanders all day long on the earth, seeking wisdom and knowledge among human beings, and enjoying defeating the wise among mortals.”
“This hobby is strange, but it is not dangerous. So at the beginning, almost no one noticed it, only some rural anecdotes spread among the countries… However, demons are demons after all. When they are found, their hostility to humans is inherently and invariably unchangeable.”
“No one knows whether it was the human being attacked first or the human beings that it attacked first. In short, from that day on, when the first human hero with conceited wisdom fell in front of Sphinx, a war broke out.”
“Nine mortals went to fight against the demons for fame and strength, and then they fell one by one by one by one by the demons. Gradually, the gods also knew its existence.”
“The gods descended to this end and tried to kill this powerful demon. But they were shocked to find that although the Sphinx did not have an immortal body, they also had a special realm that could hardly be cracked.”
“No matter who it is, if she cannot answer her three questions, she will be no different from mortals in this field.”
“So several gods returned in vain. They were unwilling to risk being imprisoned in the realm, and only the goddess of justice stood up.”
“Unlike other gods, with her authority, she can exempt the influence of the demon realm as long as she can answer a question correctly. However, the goddess did not participate in the game in the end. She just stopped the fight and made a bet with Sphinx.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it because His Highness Themis is not sure to answer even one question correctly?”
Hercules asked with a slightly moved look.
However, the next moment, Chiron gave him a very unexpected reason.
“No, the reason why the goddess didn’t take action was because she discovered that [Slaying Evil Sword] had no reaction to Sphinx.”
“She thought it was innocent, so naturally there was no reason to kill it. But she didn’t want it to continue to cause unrest in the world, even if it actually originated from the propaganda of the church and the arrogance of mortals.”
“After thinking about it, the goddess finally decided to solve this problem in another way. She used her magic weapon to bet against the demons. If no one could solve the mystery of Sphinx within the specified time, then this magic weapon will belong to it from now on, and the goddess will no longer interfere with its behavior.”
“And if someone solves its mystery, it will serve the goddess from now on. Just like the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the underworld, he will become the executor of the law and justice.”
The story ends here, and the murals on the stone wall end here.
The blindfolded spirit with a long sword hanging on his waist raised the scale with his hands, while the Sphinx’s arm was placed on one side of the scale.
Obviously, there was an agreement between them. The demon was tired of fighting with these humans. He accepted the conditions of the goddess of the law and came to the former site of Mount Odirs far away from the nations.
Singing for a little while, looking at the continuous murals on the stone wall. Although I have never seen it, the great hero has now developed a good impression of this goddess of justice.
Forced victims to contribute to the overall situation, in his eyes, this is just false justice.
And letting people take the initiative to give in and then personally make up for the price it paid for it is more in line with the justice in Hercules’s heart.
This is the difference between depriving others of food to help the weak and paying for others’ food to help the famine.
Unlike Ares, who had little contribution to war, in the eyes of the great hero, the goddess of justice was practicing it and spreading the law and justice in the world.
What a pity, such a **** did not become the main **** of Olympus… He lamented slightly, and Hercules thanked:
“Thank you for your answer, Mr. Chiron.”
“It’s okay, it’s just to repay your help.”
“And this is just a story, what I want to say next is what can really help you.”
He smiled and said, the Centaur solemnly warned:
“The competition with Sphinx is not about force, but about wisdom… At this point, I don’t know if you can beat those people from the past.”
“But if you fail twice in a row, don’t answer the third question.
“A challenger who answers at least one question correctly can leave the realm. All three times are wrong and will only be killed by the rules… So if you get to that point, remember to pray to the goddess of justice.”
“After all, the goddess’ artifact is there, maybe…it can allow you to escape.”

brush-
Just as Olympia was in chaos, Hercules took the opportunity to rescue the centaur’s stall. A bronze light shone across the sky near the sacred mountain.
The light flashed, and the light and darkness alternated, as if it reflected its owner’s mood at the moment.
And in the package of the stream of light, the God of War Ares was covering the wound on his waist and flying quickly towards Olympus.
When I came, I drove the chariot and the horse, but when I returned, I was alone.
It is undoubtedly a shameful failure to even take away your mounts and weapons.
But this time, Ares did not say anything harshly, but his face looked a little tragic.
Unlike before, this time, he never had any excuses to find for himself.
Failure is failure, and he was defeated by a mortal head-on by his most proud part.
Among the gods in Mount Olympus, there are more than one who is stronger than him, but even Athena, his father’s perfect daughter, cannot surpass him as a **** of war in the body.
Whenever he encounters setbacks, he uses this to masturbate. But now, Hercules’ fist has completely taught him what reality is.
Victory means victory, defeat means defeat, there is no excuse to find.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
At this moment, the God of War in this world seemed to have overlapped with him on the original trajectory at a certain time node.
Faced with the pain brought by mortals, as a **** of war, he was not ashamed of his shame and did not get angry. He finally chose another path when this unprecedented thing happened, something that almost no male **** had done.
That is to return to the sacred mountain… and then, ask Zeus for complaint!
Yes, complain.
Although if you lose a fight, you will sue your parents, this kind of thing should not have happened to a war god.
Unfortunately, both later generations made this choice for the mythological epics recorded in their original fate and Ares of this life.
The so-called “land is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, which is probably the case.
Even though fate has changed, the God of War still made the same choice.
…
Bang-
Not long after, the sacred mountain was already in sight.
As his body fell from the air, feeling the divine power that was revived in his body, Ares covered the wound on his waist, but he was not recovering it for a long time.
Walking along the way, avoiding Ningfu and the gods on the way, Ares came straight to the gate of the Golden Palace.
Soon after, Zeus will announce here the replacement of Poseidon’s new Ocean God and respond to his disappearance.
Ares doesn’t know where Zeus is now, but in the Golden Palace, the God King will keep a divine power incarnation most of the time.
Bang-
“God Father!”
With vigorously pushing open the door, Ares’s eyes swept across the Golden Palace.
As expected, he found Zeus on the golden throne of the temple.
Sensing the other party’s powerful but not insurmountable aura, this is probably the incarnation of the God King.
But for some reason, something seemed wrong with this incarnation at this moment. His condition seemed a little tense at this moment, and he did not have the same relaxation as before.
I don’t know why, but Ares didn’t think much about it.
What other existence in the world today can make Zeus, who is coming to the great? He would never be fighting another great divine power outside the world.
So one step forward, Ares shouted again.
His voice was unusually bleak, and he didn’t forget to let go of his right hand covering his wound, showing his blood flowing.
“Father, look!” (Note 1-Start)
“This is the harm I have suffered in the world, the pain brought to me by a shameless descendant of a **** who stays in the world! Don’t you feel angry when you witness these fierce behaviors?”
“In order to help mortals, the gods are always fighting endlessly… and as the main **** of war, I have tasted the greatest pain.”
“So I want to fight with you to understand-there is an evil **** ruled by you, a criminal who should be cursed, and he only thinks about committing evil and leaving such descendants in the world!”
“My great father, all other gods, every **** on Mount Olympus, respects you without any disobedience.
“We are all willing to obey orders, but some people are unwilling to obey your orders and let his descendants respect the gods!”
“Only he, this human being who was encouraged to attack and kill me – this ignorant hero on earth, rolled up his rage and dared to rush towards the immortal god!”
“Previously, he created a killing karma among his kind; now, he rushed towards me, Ares, who was in charge of the war!”
“Fortunately, I was good at running, so I was able to escape under his hands. Otherwise, I would have to endure the pain and lie in the stiff pile of dead for a long time, or bend and guard the rest of my life because of the blow of the copper spear!” (Note 1-End)
Crying loudly, not even at all the honor of the gods. Ares angrily scolded Hercules, and even the source of his bloodline was not spared.
Such a powerful body… I’m afraid he is the son of a certain Titan, and he finally gained power comparable to a giant under some mutation.
With malicious intentions, Ares wished that Zeus could take action immediately and take the mortal man and his sinful father to the mountain, and sentence him to the same crime as Prometheus.
You are waiting… The God King will definitely solve your problem… Immersed in my imagination, Ares did not notice the gradually condensed aura around Zeus’ incarnation on the throne.
He just showed his wounds while continuing to angrily criticize the source of all this.

Note 1
The following is less than 200 words.
This paragraph of accusation was modified from a mythical translation, so it is normal to find that the writing style is a bit strange, because it was intentional, but the modification was more in line with the previous and subsequent texts. This place was actually scolding and beating him and Athena who secretly helped him, but it was changed to Hercules and his father who was not sure who he was. Some vulgar words have also been changed, and it seems to be the case.
As for why I used a translation here instead of writing it entirely by myself, it was mainly because of the previous debate about Achilles. In order to show that this was not my intention to hack him, but because Ares was like this, this time he simply took out his original conversation. If you think he is stupid—well, yes, I feel so in my heart.
