What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?

  Chapter 216 The Legend of Achilles

  Achilles is Tang Lin's first favored person, and also Tang Lin's first successful experiment. It can be said that Achilles has a very important, milestone-like significance. The warrior who was supposed to die in the Trojan War became invincible after receiving Tang Lin's blood and the long sword bestowed on him.

   At least at that time, Achilles was the representative of invincibility.

  After the Trojan War, Achilles participated in many wars and won the title of God of War. The original Achilles didn't have any ambitions. He just thought that he should make good use of the power bestowed by the gods. If he could die gloriously on the battlefield in a close battle, this would be the best destination for him.

   However, this evenly matched opponent has never appeared. So much so that with the help of Achilles, the territory of the Kingdom of Greece was several times larger than in its original history.

   Speaking of this, Achilles couldn't help but glanced at Ariel Randolph, who shrugged, saying that he couldn't be blamed. The battlefield between the Frost Giant and Asgard was in the North Pole, and he was busy being a deserter at that time.

   Achilles did not meet his opponent and continued his legendary life. As a hero like a **** of war, he soon had a group of wives and concubines, and he also gave birth to a bunch of children. These children have inherited a little bit of Achilles' power, and they have shown unusual talents when they are rare.

  For example, she was born with great strength, with red scales on her body, and has an unusual fascination with flames.

   It was only after his child was born that people discovered a very strange situation. It's just that Achilles' children don't grow up. The oldest child is already ten years old, but still looks like a baby.

  I thought it was God’s punishment for Achilles’ excessive killing, and many people felt sympathy for him at that time. However, everyone soon discovered that this was not a punishment, but because Achilles had the ability to live forever.

  His children do not grow up, in fact, because the growth cycle is longer than that of ordinary people. The best proof is that Achilles is nearly sixty years old, and he is still the same as when he was young.

  When the secret of Achilles' immortality was discovered, disasters beyond his imagination came.

  The Greek king at that time was a few years younger than Achilles, but he already felt his body was aging, so he longed for a longer life. He summoned Achilles, looked at the young face of the **** of war, and asked him how to live forever, full of jealousy and longing.

   Achilles was still an honest man at this time, so he naturally confessed everything, saying that it was a gift from the giant. The giant who can give people eternal life is also a nickname passed down from this conversation. At that time, the king knew how powerful Achilles was, so he didn't use any violent means. Instead, he built a temple for the giant, and let beautiful girls go to pray in the temple day and night.

  During this period of time, none of the Greek gods was as brilliant as this immortal giant. There were huge stone statues almost everywhere, and every Greek knew the story of the immortal giant bestowing eternal life on Achilles.

   It's just that many years have passed, and the giant who has been sacrificed so much still hasn't appeared. The Greek king who is getting older is anxious. He felt that he had only a few days to live, and his sons wanted to die immediately so that they could inherit the throne. And Achilles, who is loved by the gods, is still so young and strong, he needs several women to satisfy him every night.

   This king is extremely jealous. You must know that he was no longer able to do it ten years ago! For a king, waiting to die is ten times more difficult than for ordinary people, and he gradually loses his mind. Finally, at the suggestion of a jester, the king sent Achilles on an expedition. Taking advantage of Achilles' absence, the king ordered Achilles' children to be taken into the palace, and ordered to kill these children and bleed them for him to drink.

  Although they are the descendants of the God of War, their growth is slow due to their blood, and they are all just children, unable to resist at all. When he drank the blood of his first child, the old king miraculously grew black hair, and his stooped body became straight again.

   When he drank the blood of his firstborn, the king was ten years younger. It's just that when he kills other children and drinks blood, the effect begins to decrease rapidly. Until the last child of Achilles was brutally killed, the king was only restored to the state of forty or fifty years old.

   Of course, this is not satisfactory to him. What he wants is to remain young forever like Achilles. The blood of Achilles' descendants is useless, so what about Achilles himself? Anyway, they have already killed Achilles' child. This Greek **** of war will definitely rebel, so he might as well be killed and let the blood out.

  With this stupid idea, the king gave the order to assassinate Achilles. On the battlefield, Achilles was betrayed, and countless sharp arrows and spears were shot at his back, but they failed to kill him, but only angered the **** of war.

  At this time, Achilles also just got the news that his family members were brutally killed. In a rage, Achilles led his loyal subordinates all the way back to Athens, bringing to an end the Greek dynasty that he had brought down with his own hands.

  The cruel king died, the royal family was slaughtered by Achilles, and those slanderous jesters were hunted down to the bottom of the world by Achilles. After spending ten years seeking revenge, Achilles walked into the temple of giants after beheading all his enemies.

   Achilles stayed in the temple for ten days, and then disappeared in front of everyone with his golden sword. No one knows where he went, everyone just thinks he is dead.

  Because of the massacre of Achilles, the originally powerful Greece was completely split into dozens of city-states and became extremely chaotic. At this time, Achilles began to travel around the world, hoping to find the immortal giant, hoping to get the guidance of the gods.

  Achilles has traveled almost all over the world. Every ten years or hundreds of years, Achilles will always hear the rumors that giants come to resurrect mortals. Achilles found many new gods, and learned from their mouths that the eternal giant did appear again, but he missed every time.

   Later, by chance, Achilles heard the myth of giants in that ancient eastern country. Their creation **** is a giant who splits the world with an axe. When the giant launched a war, he broke the pillar of the sky and caused a flood that destroyed the world. There are also giants who can chase the sun in the sky... These myths make Aki Reese felt that he should go to Huaxia to take a look.

  After untold hardships, he finally set foot on the land of China. This completely different civilization opened Achilles' eyes. It turns out that there are more brilliant civilizations in the world than Greece.

Achilles spent a lot of thought on learning Chinese culture, and then he read this sentence when he was studying: "Therefore, when the heavens will send great tasks to people, they must first work **** their minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies. His body is empty, and his behavior is disturbed by his actions, so his heart and patience have benefited what he can't do."

After reading the words of the sage, Achilles couldn't help recalling what the gods said to him: "Achilles, you are far from being my warrior now, go back and use the sword I gave you to forge A legend. When you achieve what mortals cannot, you are qualified to listen to the oracle again."

  Achilles suddenly realized that everything he experienced before was a test given to him by the gods. If he hadn't been addicted to pleasure, he wouldn't have suffered the catastrophe of extermination. The subsequent massacre corrupted his soul, and he wandered aimlessly on the earth, wasting hundreds of years in vain. It was because he had forgotten the words of the gods that he lost everything.

   Therefore, the disheartened Achilles regained his strength. After these years of traveling, Achilles saw countless people who lost all the suffering just like him, so he decided that his sword should only be wielded for those who cannot fight, to save those who are suffering like him.

   Probably due to the arrangement of fate, when Achilles was determined to change, the land of Huaxia was invaded by alien races, and those extremely ferocious alien races even attacked the capital of the imperial court at that time. Achilles felt that this was a reminder from the heavens, so he raised his long sword to help the Chinese resist the aliens.

   "So, you helped the Northern Song Dynasty destroy the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia?" After hearing this, Tang Lin was stunned.

"It's not all due to me. I met a friend named Yue Fei in distant China. He is a true warrior and a wise commander. In most cases, he is the one who customizes tactics. I Share the bloodline bestowed by the gods with him, and then defeat these alien races with him.

"It's just that before I came back here, I heard that he seemed to be at odds with the emperor of Huaxia. I tried to persuade him to leave together, but in the end he chose to stay in Huaxia. Then, I established the Assassin Organization with Hassan. Sure enough, my thoughts were correct, after I became a legend, I was summoned by you again." Achilles said humbly and excitedly.

   Tang Lin was speechless for a long time. At the beginning, he said those words purely to pretend to be coercive. In fact, he was just a scumbag who pulled out his heartless man, and he never paid attention to this god-favored man at all.

  Now hearing his two thousand years of experience, Tang Lin can only feel that Achilles is really awesome.

  Not to mention anything else, it is really admirable that you, a foreigner, can travel across the ocean to reach China and understand Mencius. Moreover, Achilles also restored the mountains and rivers together with Prince Yue. This is a truly legendary experience, and Tang Lin even wanted to change it with him.

  Tang Lin drew a conclusion from Achilles' words, that is, the giant's belief has actually spread very widely. That is to say, Tang Lin has a lot of followers, even spread all over the world.

  In this case, Tang Lin's immigration plan might be bolder.

   "Achilles, you have indeed completed the task I entrusted to you, and I give you the honor of being able to enter my kingdom of God after death."

   Tang Lin took out a Devil Fruit from the storage space and placed it in front of Achilles.

"Achilles, I have a more important task for you, which I'm afraid you can't do with your current strength. If you eat this fruit, you will gain more power than before, but at the same time you will become Those who cannot touch the sea, once you fall into the sea, you will lose your strength. Are you willing to accept this task?" Tang Lin asked.

  Without any hesitation, Achilles tore off the outer skin of this devil fruit, and then bit it down. But Achilles soon paid the price for his urge. The taste of the pulp was just as disgusting as elephant dung.

  However, this is the test given by the gods, no matter how unpalatable it is, you must eat it.

  Tang Lin originally wanted to remind him to take a bite, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Achilles finished eating the **** devil fruit.

  After eating the devil fruit, Achilles' body began to change. Two curved horns appeared on his head, layers of red scales appeared on his body, his hands turned into sharp claws, and a fiery red tail appeared behind him.

   This situation seems a bit wrong. Tang Lin gave Achilles the horse horse fruit, which should turn him into a horse, but now it seems that he has strengthened the unicorn blood in his body.

   "Why does it look like the unicorn demon in Fengyun? Maybe it's the phantom beast in the animal fruit?" Tang Lin thought uncertainly.

  However, artificial devil fruits have been produced, which shows that devil fruits can also mutate. Maybe they are combined with the blood power in Achilles to produce different mutations.

  The half-beast Achilles grabbed his sword again. The sword that had to be wielded with two hands can now be easily used with one hand.

In other words, Achilles is now comparable to ordinary Asgardian soldiers, perhaps not as good as Eliye Randolph, the elite of the Berserker Legion, but he will no longer be crushed party.

   "Very good, Achilles, you have obtained stronger power, and you should be able to complete the task I entrusted to you." Tang Lin said solemnly.

   "Listen to the oracle!" Achilles knelt in front of Tang Lin and said.

"Achilles, I order you and Altaïr to assassinate the Pope and assist Elijah Randolph to control the entire Church. You must complete this task as soon as possible, because soon I will send all the Hundreds of millions of humans migrated to this world." Tang Lin ordered.

Hearing Tang Lin's words, Altaïr and Achilles accepted the mission without any hesitation, but Ariel Randolph was a little surprised. To be a district bishop? Why did it suddenly turn into taking down the entire Church of Rome?

   You must know that the difference in difficulty between the two is more than ten times. Even if Ariel Randolph can pretend to be an "angel" who descended from heaven to the world, the higher the level of belief in the church, the less pious he is. People who are bishops and popes are smart people who just use religion to gain benefits. How could it be possible for Ariel Randolph to easily sit on the position of pope?

  But Tang Lin turned his head and stared at the Asgardian, just looking at him in silence, already made Eliye Randolph sweat on his forehead. In desperation, Ariel Randolph had no choice but to agree: "Ming...Understood, I will definitely try my best."

  Ariel Randolph felt that he was on a thief ship, and it was too late to repent.

Only then did Tang Lin put on a lighter tone and said: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to complete this difficult task right away. This is just your ultimate goal. Now let Ariel Randolph become the regional bishop of Tripoli. There are several years to achieve this goal."

   Just after Tang Lin arranged the mission, Mo De's emotional system prompt sounded in Tang Lin's ear: "Your behavior has caused a major change in the fate of the mission plane..."
