Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
All those heroes who are destined to be renowned throughout history seem to have had the same dream tonight.
It was the great flood and apocalypse, it was a world created by a usurper upon the corpses of Greece, a one-man Eden.
And a young boy, hurling a world-shattering spear at the usurper.
No matter who woke from the dream, they all felt a sense of loss.
This is the Divine Revelation!
The prologue of the Apocalypse has begun, and the only hero who can stop it is in Troy!
All the heroes rose as quickly as they could; there was no way they could miss this endeavor that confronted the world's downfall.
This is exactly what this group of heroes pursued above all else — glory, achievements, bravery, and fearlessness — these are the values these Greek heroes strived for.
And now, the great endeavor of salvation appeared before them, confronting the final usurper. In the name of a hero, even if death occurred during the journey, it would be worth it.
The classical Greek heroes are so simple; placed in the context of ancient Eastern philosophy, it aligns with the thinking that "a true man should wield a three-foot-long sword, achieving unparalleled feats."
The Greek heroes' idea was to have their names immortalized in history, leaving a vivid mark in epic tales.
Facing the journey of salvation, even knowing they're not the main character, they are merely witnesses and supporters. Every Greek hero was rushing to Troy, fearing they'll be late.
Just like decades ago when Jason built the Argo and set sail, achieving unparalleled feats, their stories and epics are now known even by six-year-old children.
As for the new era's Argo, they must get on the ship; they would even crawl onboard, willing to die on the journey to Olympus!
It seems that only the protagonist Xue Dili was not involved in this sleepless night. When he woke up, he couldn't have imagined that all the strong men in Greece were frantically rushing towards him.
If they thought the ship was too slow, they wished they could carry it and swim over.
If they thought the horse was too slow, they wished they could carry the horse and run over.
Some heroes were not alone; they called on their brothers, friends, fathers, sons... all rushing towards Troy.
And they all remembered their mission, which was to reach Olympus and then, slay the Gods!
Yes, that's right, slay the Gods.
This is the revelation Athena gave them.
Such a supreme endeavor, even to delay for as little as one second for the Savior, would be worthwhile, granting them a place in future mythological epics.
Insane, all of Greece's heroes are crazy at this moment.
Even a large number of heroes who are remembered in history are madly buying horses, ships, and armor just to make a name for themselves in this god-slaying battle, and also, to stop this damn apocalyptic prologue.
Some retired heroes were ready to settle down with their wives and children, but upon seeing the impending world-destroying future? They immediately took up the weapons of their youth, donned armor, and bade farewell to their wives and children.
The future protagonist of the Odyssey, the hero Odysseus, had just welcomed the birth of his son and was ready to nurture him when he received this revelation. He explained everything, then donned his youthful cloak and set off on the journey to Troy.
Great Ajax, his name might not be famous, but his shield would become known in the future as the Shield of Ajax, also known as — Blazing Heaven Covering Seven Rings.
The King of Greece, Agamemnon, set sail with his fleet.
Hercules' son, Thessalus, came alone.
And the future famous heel, now only 12 years old, just returning from learning martial arts with the centaur teacher Chiron, the immortal hero Achilles.
Almost all of the strongest and mightiest heroes of this era are gathering at Troy!
These heroes come for a place in history or purely for the god-slaying endeavor, or after knowing the prophecy of the great flood, they rushed forth.
At this time, Xue Dili had just gotten out of bed, feeling much better in his body.
And soon, his stats refreshed on the panel, popping up with a notification.
[Divine Protection (C-Class): Reduces all pain and suffering you endure.]
"Hmm?" Xue Dili glanced at it and instantly understood the source of this protection, but he didn't care much about it, as it overlapped with the function of the Birdman Armor, which was not very useful to him.
The Birdman Armor only covered his waist, but it kept him in a constant state blessed by the Birdman Armor; otherwise, he couldn't even move normally now.
He cleared his mind and prepared to continue today's journey.
However, when he walked out of the temple, he was completely stunned.
Hector, Troy's great hero, seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time, and surrounded by Troy's residents, who were cheering for the appearance of a hero.
"Selfless hero Xediles, we received the revelation from the God last night." Before Xue Dili could ask any questions, Hector directly stated their purpose.
Xue Dili: "?"
Seemingly without noticing Xue Dili's confused expression, Hector continued, "We will gather all the strength of Troy to build you a great ship capable of reaching Olympus."
"Not only us, but all the heroes of Greece are preparing to come over, together heading to Olympus to complete our great endeavor." This middle-aged man Hector seemed to be getting a bit excited, too.
"Just last night, we have already converted a trireme into your warship, which was originally modeled after the legendary Argo, and it fully meets our requirements."
"If we give it our all, it is anticipated to be completed within half a month, by which time, just when all the Greek heroes convene in Troy, we can set sail at full speed, heading straight for Olympus."
In Hector's words, there was a surge of emotion, but Xue Dili only had more question marks above his head.
According to his original plan, he indeed intended to recreate a wave of the Argo's legend, taking a large group of Greek heroes to ostensibly apologize to Zeus, but in reality, lure him to the Netherworld.
But, how did it seem that when he woke up, all of Greece's heroes knew he was going to take on Zeus?
Not only that, every hero seemed to have no faith in Zeus, instead, crazily wanting to join this feast and take on Zeus together.
Are Greek heroes not afraid of anything?
...
It seems the whole of Greece has gone a bit mad today.
That's Xue Dili's only feeling.
Hector wanted to convert a large ship overnight into a warship carrying heroes, and when the original shipbuilders heard that this warship would be just like the Argo, filled with heroes from Greece,
They got into a frenzy as if they were bloodthirsty, murmuring, "If my ship can carry heroes from Greece for this great endeavor, it's worth dying for!"
