"Hercules" is the Hercules in Western mythology, and is also a title awarded to the strongest warrior by the Chamber of Commerce.
As for the man known as Hercules in the Chamber of Commerce, he does not have a real name, or it has been long enough for him to forget what his real name is.
The name itself is a code name. The purpose of choosing a name is to let others call you, not to call yourself. Since there can only be one "Hercules" in the world at the same time, there is nothing wrong with calling him Hercules—— No matter what others thought about his name, at least that was what Hercules thought.
For as long as he can remember, he has been a slave, and his master nicknamed him "The Monster."
Because he really looked like a monster, nearly eight feet tall when he was only eight years old - "Eight fucking years old?" was probably the most frequent thing he heard that year.
The monster is not an ordinary slave. His master is an arena operator, and the purpose of training him is to take a fancy to his amazing potential.
The "monster" is indeed an extremely outstanding gladiator. It is not an exaggeration to describe it with such praise as no one has ever seen before. From a strong human opponent to a liger, from a one-on-one unfair duel to a hundred Once the king of gladiators, the "monster" was invincible.
And the last opponent he faced in the arena... was none other than the previous "Heracles" from the Chamber of Commerce.
Logically speaking, the guy with this title in the Chamber of Commerce has a very high status. Even if he is kicked out, he will never be reduced to going to the arena to fight with people's lives for fun, but that is a person who has "dissatisfaction" written all over his life. ” guy, after hearing someone comparing a gladiator to himself, he sneered at the statement.
From this point of view, the previous Hercules had quite a "scientific spirit". Apparently he believed that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", so he successfully verified the strength of the strongest gladiator known as the monster, and also Successfully tested himself to death in the arena.
Similar to the "black boxing" practiced by Nachai, a young man from New Siam who represented the Eternal Life Alliance in the Young Heroes Association, the rules of the arena are more bloody and cruel, and simpler - it can basically be summarized as "killing the opponent", and the monsters are in His experience and talent in "killing" were unparalleled. He successfully stuffed the copper coins thrown into the arena by the audience into the senior's stomach, until the fourth copper coin got stuck in the opponent's throat.
As a result, Monster was absorbed by the Chamber of Commerce and took over the position of the previous Hercules. Although this process was full of controversy and many people were dissatisfied with it, the title had special inheritance rules since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.
Some people may find it difficult to understand that a gladiator as powerful as Monster has long had the ability to break through shackles and kill his master, so why is he always willing to be an object for people's entertainment?
But if he had chosen to give up his identity as a gladiator before that, he might not have interacted with the Chamber of Commerce.
Hercules has been a legend in his life. With his superior force, he transformed from a slave to an important member of the Chamber of Commerce. However, some things cannot be erased by changing his identity. He is a very stubborn person, or rather Very rigid—like the little elephant in the fable who has been chained since childhood.
But we simply can’t tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for him – just like we can’t know what impact every choice we make will have on the future.
The choice Hercules made is called "loyalty". No matter whether future generations will judge his loyalty as foolishness or ignorance, but because of his loyalty, he chose to stand in front of Qi Jun and save the precarious situation of the Chamber of Commerce. The shaky future has turned around.
Therefore, he must not fall here!
For the sake of the Chamber of Commerce that he was loyal to, Hercules would rather abandon his dignity as a warrior and all the glory that this title carries. The aroma of "immortal food and secret wine" exploded in his throat, and he actually went completely berserk. Wei Kui regained his strength!
At this moment, the two of them pushed their physical strength to the limit, and were pushed away by the two unparalleled powers!
Even they themselves don’t know who won the key hand in this most powerful duel, but judging from the trenches plowed under their feet...
Hercules fell back three feet and one foot, while Wei collapsed... three feet, one foot and one inch.
"How old are you?" Hercules' arms drooped naturally, but his bones were already a little painful. He suddenly looked at Wei Kui across the cracked hills.
Wei Kui's situation is no better than that of Hercules, but he always answers every question: "Twenty to six."
After hearing Wei Kui's answer, Hercules couldn't help but look at the sky. He was eleven years older than Wei Kui this year.
The age gap between these ten years is not as easy as a twenty-year-old adult beating a ten-year-old child - forty is a hurdle in life, and most people's physical fitness will be reached around the age of forty. The peak, and after forty-five it is time to go downhill.
Heracles will have ten more years of peak life. Maybe his amazing physique will last longer, or maybe he will age earlier due to the burden brought by his overly strong body... …
But no matter what, at this moment, Hercules clearly realized that just like him back then, this giant Eastern man in front of him would have another twenty years of growth, which was really terrifying for the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, I will strangle you here!
"If I give you another ten years, maybe I won't be your opponent in the future..." As the strongest combat power of the Chamber of Commerce, Hercules actually slowly conducted a certain speech in Chinese that he was not very proficient in. This is a degree of weakness - he needs to make this opponent understand what he is talking about.
"It seems that you mean... at least you are stronger than me now?" Wei Kui was not annoyed by this. In fact, he has always dared to admit the strength of others and strive to catch up - he is a natural A madman who lives for challenges will find it boring if there is no one who can threaten him.
Hercules' throat made no more sound, and he answered Wei Kui's question with practical actions - the opponent's reinforcements would arrive sooner or later, and by that time he would not even have a chance to fight.
"The Killing of Hydra!" The mythical immortal Hydra was also killed by Hercules. Hercules turned his hand into a blade and slashed Wei Kui's neck with his palm. After all, the hands are still made of flesh and cannot cut off a person's head like a blade, but even if Wei Kui's solid bones are hit, the neck bone will be broken on the spot.
Wei Kui responded with a punch. The two of them each used their own unique moves, but they only served as a prelude to the next battle.
The battle between the two men, who had exerted their strength beyond their limits, was even more brutal than the previous round. Every move caused great damage to the opponent's bones and internal organs, but they both completely ignored the pain. A punch is always faster and stronger than the last one!
The effect of the immortal food and secret wine has flowed throughout Hercules's body along with the blood, and the madness has also turned Wei Kui into a burning forge. The strengthening of external objects and internal forces has made their five senses very sharp. ——They have heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
Wei Kui has been on the battlefield for a long time and has considerable experience in judging distances based on the sound of horse hooves: "Now you still have more than half a stick of incense left."
"I guess you won't choose to delay time." Hercules did not hesitate to provoke him. As long as Wei Kui still maintains his attitude of attacking him, he can win.
Wei Kui, on the other hand, just followed his example: "Come on, let me see your strongest move!"
The invisible incense was counting down to the end of their lives, and the two people who completely abandoned all interference from the outside world were completely crazy. Every move was directed at each other's vital points. In this entanglement, Hercules finally found a good opportunity. !
The strongest move, and the strongest move!
The Hanging of Cerberus.
In the final chapter of the Twelve Great Deeds of Hercules, the legendary hero used strangulation to subdue the ferocious three-headed dog, the gatekeeper beast of hell, and sent it back to Hades, where it would never be seen again as a fatal blow. So perfect - Hercules has already embraced his mortal ambition and dragged Wei Kui into the abyss together!
But...the capture failed unexpectedly.
Because Wei Kui let his blood break through the shackles of his body at the last moment. The raging blood flow made him faster than a line, and it was this line... that allowed him to complete his killing move.
Horizontal and vertical punches·one punch.
He clasped his hands into fists and drew a horizontal line in the air, and the end point of the line was where Hercules' heart was.
…………
When Yan Chunlai arrived, the messy battlefield made him feel frightened even as he watched life and death.
There are only two people here, one standing and one lying down.
Seeing that both of them were motionless, Brother Yan quickly stepped forward to check Wei Kui's injuries. The fallen Wei Kui had begun to bleed from all his orifices and became a veritable blood gourd. Even his breathing was difficult to detect, but luckily he could still see. Seeing his chest rising and falling extremely weakly, Brother Yan quickly helped him onto his horse - Qi Jun couldn't catch up anyway, and now Wei Kui's life must be saved.
When he was taking Wei Kui and preparing to evacuate, Yan Chunlai took another look at the standing man.
Hercules still stood like an iron wall, unyielding, as he had before his death. His expression was full of determination, except for the position of his heart, where there was only a hollow surrounded by flesh and blood.
