Chapter 14 Ares, I’m here to show off to you!
Loen touched the amount of hair on his head that was the envy of other programmers, and muttered to himself.
According to the loopholes left deliberately before, it is not impossible for me to pay some negative concepts such as "bad luck", "depression", "pain", "curse", etc., but the more these chips cannot be quantified and qualitative, the easier it is to be reversed, and in the end I will shoot myself in the foot.
So to be safe, he would rather make some small physical sacrifices.
Compared to losing a few hairs, getting a method to quickly become a demigod is a huge win.
After thinking for a while, Loen stretched his body and moved the chess pieces leisurely, launching rounds of trial and error and fighting on the chessboard.
Honestly speaking, Hecate's exchange tactics combined with extreme pressure are indeed difficult to deal with.
But she was just a novice in this game after all, and her offensive routines and methods were limited to just a few combinations.
And in Loen's mind lies the chess game experience and routines accumulated by mankind over thousands of years. Once he can figure out Hecate's moves and stabilize his position, he can formulate corresponding strategies and launch a counterattack.
Finally, after paying the price of about thirty hairs, Loen used a set of patterns of "Soldiers Change" and "Soldiers Kill the King" to force Hecate into a desperate situation.
"General!"
As the Warcraft head chess piece representing the chariot in Loen's hand moved forward, and cooperated with the upgraded soldiers, the last retreat of the enemy king was blocked. Hecate, who was no longer able to turn the tide, could only push the chess piece down in disappointment and accept the victory or defeat of this game with a pinch of her nose.
"Well, according to the agreement, now it's time for you to tell me how to become a demigod as quickly as possible, goddess?"
"It's very simple. Drop your blood on the dice, then silently recite what you want in your mind and roll the corresponding number. It will give you guidance."
Although she was a gambler, as an upright goddess, Hecate still had the basic moral integrity of accepting defeat and she stated the method very straightforwardly.
Use it?
Loen followed Hecate's gaze and looked at the serpentine twelve-sided dice in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
This thing was an extra prize for winning the resurrection match. It originally belonged to Hecate and they were originally a pair.
"Not only are there numbers engraved on the twelve sides of the dice, but the symbols that make up the numbers also correspond to the twelve main gods that control Greece, that is, the current order of the [world]. Since you want to upgrade your bloodline to a demigod, you need to look for opportunities in the [world], and it will give you the answer."
Hecate explained with a smile as she played with another twelve-sided serpentine dice in her hand.
"This is not an ordinary gift, but a [gift from destiny]."
"Really? Why do I feel like this thing called 'Fate' seems to be displeased with me?"
Loen looked at the twelve-sided dice on the table with a doubtful look.
Hecate did not comment, smiled slightly, and stretched out her white right hand.
"As agreed, I have said what I should say. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don't need it, just give it back to me."
Loen hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up his mind.
Anyway, we are already at the bottom, no matter how far we go, we will be moving upwards!
What are you afraid of? Isn't this just an all-in bet?
Suddenly a thought arises, and the world suddenly becomes vast.
Loen immediately raised his hand and bit his index finger. Under Hecate's smiling gaze, he squeezed out a drop of golden-red blood and dripped it on the twelve-sided dice. Then he closed his eyes, counted silently for a few seconds, and decisively threw the dice on the table.
The blood-stained dice rolled on the table for a few times, and finally stopped at a pattern composed of eight crossed blood-red spears.
"8? The God of War? Well, congratulations on receiving Ares' blessing."
Hecate glanced at the dice, chuckled, and snapped her fingers.
At the same time, the twelve-sided dice on the table hummed and vibrated, turning into a scarlet blood light, crashing into Loen's chest at lightning speed, merging into the black curse that Hecate had once engraved on him, and disappeared in an instant.
——This emblem is a circle with a circular maze in the center surrounding a spiral.
——The maze symbolizes rebirth, and the spiral in the center symbolizes the mind and soul.
——Its name, Hecate’s Wheel.
At this moment, in the ocean of Loen's consciousness, a sound like the friction of gears and mechanisms was heard, and the maze transformed by Hecate's Wheel rotated and reconstructed, turning into an ancient mottled bronze altar.
As the blood-stained twelve-sided dice fell in the center of the altar, the rich blood color spread and weaved into a scarlet oracle.
——【Slaughter 100 gold-level sea beasts and complete the God's Rite.】
Loen was a little confused, so he told the information in his mind and asked Hecate opposite him with a frown.
"What's the meaning?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have the bloodline of Ares, the god of war."
Hecate asked with a smile while flipping another twelve-sided dice with one hand.
Lorne thought about it and nodded slightly.
Cadmus, the builder of Thebes, was forced to serve the god of war Ares for eight years because he killed Ares' dragon.
Later, under the coordination of the gods, the two sides reconciled, and Zeus married Harmonia (the goddess of coordination and harmony), the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, to Cadmus as compensation for Cadmus' eight years of hard labor.
According to the family tree, his deceased mother Semele was one of the four children of Cadmus and Harmonia.
In other words, in addition to Zeus, Lorne also has the blood of the god of war Ares and the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.
At this point, receiving a positive answer, Hecate smiled and gave further interpretation.
“The answer is simple. If an ordinary half-blood hero wants to become a demigod, he needs to refine himself day by day and awaken the divinity in his body step by step before he can ignite the divine fire and complete the [upgrade].
But now [Dice] has given you the shortcut you want.
——Just complete the sacrifice to Ares as required, and it will allow you to steal the blessing of the God of War for a short period of time. When you have the same divine blood in your body, you can collect enough divinity from both inside and outside through this carnival of killing and fighting, and then ignite the divine fire in your body. "
Hiss~!
Lorne gasped when he heard Hecate's description.
This seems like a big gamble.
In a sense, this move was to bypass Ares, the genuine god of war, and to take advantage of the power of the god of war for a while.
Although in various versions of myths and epics, Ares is often the target of being fooled, and he really has no reputation among the twelve main gods.
But that also depends on who is holding the leash!
Asking me, a golden child who is just sixteen years old, to NTR the divine power of a genuine Olympian god, this can no longer be called playing with fire, it is simply suicide!
"You're worried that I won't die fast enough, right?"
Loen complained with a dark face, unhappily exposing the sinister intentions of the unscrupulous creditor in front of him.
"Don't worry, Olympus won't notice what you did."
Hecate smiled indifferently, raised her hand to move the dice on the table, and spoke meaningfully.
"Because, [inevitable fate] cannot predict [accidental dice]..."
Luo En's eyes flashed, his face looked thoughtful, and the heart hanging in his chest gradually calmed down a little.
As a qualified gambler, she would not do such a stupid thing as destroying her chips easily.
At the very least, I have to wait until I have created enough value or had enough fun before I can recycle it.
In that case...
Luo En closed his eyes, thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly opened his purple eyes, clenched his fists, and the corners of his lips raised into a crazy arc.
High risk, high reward, It's show time!
——Ares, are you ready? I'm here to show you off!
Harmonia: The goddess of harmony and coordination in Greek mythology. Not only is she the daughter of Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and the protagonist's ancestor, but she is also the mortal enemy of the goddess Eris.
So, isn't this introduction posted here? It's part of the family tradition.
In addition, thank you for the recommendations, monthly tickets and rewards. I love you.
