Greek Mythology: I Open a Treasure Chest at Olympus - Chapter 49

Chapter 49:  Terrible Hydra led to Death

Apollo did not pay much attention to the prayers of the mortals.

His eyes were fixed on the ground.

“Hydra, the judgment of the light will not be absent!”

“Even if you escape the Underworld and the Abyss, you can’t escape the light.”

A golden light shone, and a lyre appeared in Apollo’s palm.

Clang!

Seeing him sitting cross-legged in the air, his fingertips slid across the seven tiny strings, and the melodious melody reverberated in the air.

Thekasha and the others, who were praying, listened to the melodious and spiritual music and could not help but be mesmerized in their places.

Deep underground, Hydra stared into the darkness around him and breathed a reassuring sigh of relief.

The nine heads cursed at the same time: “Apollo, the God of light, when did Olympus have such a powerful god? Fortunately, I am best in drilling holes and running fast.”

“Hehe, who made our father, Typhon, a descendant of the Mother of Earth and the Lord of Abyss, born to be friendly to the earth.”

“After hiding to such a depth, no matter how powerful you are, Apollo, now there is nothing you can do to this master, right?”

Hydra grinned smugly.

Suddenly, he heard a melodious tune coming from the surrounding and said strangely: “This is deep underground. How can there be a sound?”

His nine heads instantly listened carefully.

The tone of the sound was very melodious, as a snake that had lived for thousands of years and had good musical literacy.

Hydra’s nine heads nodded again and again.

“Well, very delicate fingering, the tune is smooth without losing its charm, and he is a musician.”

Saying so, he suddenly felt a pain in his head.

He said in surprise: “Could it be that it hurt the head from the ground? Which one is it?”

The nine hideous snake heads stared at each other.

Suddenly, the first one on the left exploded without warning.

Boom!

A loud sound shook the depth of the ground.

The ground in a radius of hundred of miles shook like an earthquake.

Feeling this change, Apollo in the sky accelerated.

His fingertips plucked smoothly on the strings.

There was another explosion from below.

In the dark underground, Hydra roared in horror.

“How could this happen? What kind of divine art is this?”

He couldn’t believe that two of his own heads had just exploded for no reason.

Boom!

The sound of the explosion sounded again.

He only had six heads left.

“Why on earth, this is obviously a very ordinary underground. How can my head explode for no reason?”

“That’s right, that strange tone, that must be it!”

When the six heads were thinking at the same time, Hydra suddenly realized the problem.

At this time, the melodious tones came again.

Another of his heads exploded with swelling pain.

The intense pain made Hydra unable to care about anything else, and he quickly drilled to the ground.

“Where are you going?”

Just as he reached the ground, a flash of golden light stopped him in his tracks.

Hydra’s remaining five heads stared at the indifferent figure in front of him.

At the same time, he saw the seven-stringed lyre in the hand of Apollo.

“Did you play that strange tune?” He asked in a low voice.

Apollo nodded gently: “In addition to being the God of light, I am also the God of music and art, with authority over music. Of course, I am able to do this, thanks to this divine lyre and a little insight from the development of magic and Dou Qi.”

“Magic and Dou Qi?” Hydra was at a loss.

“You don’t need to know so much. Just go with peace of mind.” Apollo said lightly, and a surging light suddenly burst from his body.

“Do you really think you’ve got this big man?” Hydra roared, and his fierce aura steamed.

“Do you think you can use your father’s power to frighten me?” Apollo asked calmly.

The expressions of Hydra’s five heads changed at the same time.

He only saw the blonde-haired teenager in front of him open a brilliant field, “If I hadn’t fought with your descendants and knew that you had this ability, I might have really let you escape this time, but you had a bad life.”

The field filled with light and surged open.

Hydra was anxious and triggered a bloodline induction, trying to contact his father, Typhon, the Father of the Hundred Demons.

But the boundaries of time and space seemed to be cut off.

The transmission of the bloodline could not defeat such obstacles.

A brilliant light enveloped him.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

With four loud bangs, four of Hydra’s remaining five heads exploded.

Just then, his last head laughed hideously and wildly.

“God of Olympus, you underestimate me, nine-headed Hydra. The last thing you should do is destroy all my heads!”

“Because I… when my one head is cut off, two heads will grow!”

Suddenly, he blew himself up with his last head.

A huge impact rippled in the field of Apollo’s aurora domain.

A gap opened in the invisible domain.

Hydra’s snake body, which lost his head, twisted out of the gap.

The nine headless necks kept squirming.

There was an extra branch on each neck.

In just a moment, he grew densely packed with eighteen heads and thirty-six eyes, which froze and gathered at Apollo in the field of dawn.

At this creepy scene, Apollo just laughed lightly.

He asked indifferently: “Is this a common problem with all of you monsters because you are obsessed with the number of heads? I heard your father, Typhon, has a hundred heads and is known as a hundred dragons.”

“Father’s greatness is not something a god like you can understand. In no time, we will attack Olympus and devour all of you gods!”

The eighteen heads of Hydra roared at the same time, and the scene was grim.

“Sure enough, they are already preparing for the war against Olympus…” Apollo’s eyes flashed.

Suddenly, a shocking aura filled his body.

“Hydra, the game with you should be over. Let’s use you to test the power of my Etheric Divine Body’s star power!”

Suddenly, Apollo took a step forward.

The figure seemed to have crossed space and appeared in the sky above Hydra in an instant.

His palm spread out in front of his body. A blazing light suddenly enveloped the giant snake.

Hydra’s thirty-six eyes shrank abruptly.

His eighteen mouths spit out a green light at the same time.

Boom!

Surrounded by stars, the power of Etheric Divine Body was vast.

Like a torrent of stars, it instantly crushed the green light that Hydra exhaled.

The invisible fist shadow fell on his huge body.

With one punch.

Hydra’s huge body shattered into several pieces.

“This is impossible!”

Hydra let out an unwilling roar.

He was the son of Typhon and possessed great power beyond the peak of the average Upper God.

When nine heads were chopped off, and took the form of eighteen heads, he should be completely comparable to the Main God.

Why would his strong body be shattered by one punch?

Even if he was also a powerful Main God, he should have used authority, divine power, and domain.

He was crushed by the power of his divine body.

How was that acceptable?

Hydra roared in grief and anger, and the eighteen heads burned with green flames at the same time, and the tyrannical suffocation shook the world.

“What happened?” All over the world, the gods were startled and cast their eyes.

“Isn’t this nine-headed Hydra? How did he grow eighteen heads? He is so powerful!”

“The one fighting against him is Apollo. He actually crushed Hydra in this state; it’s terrifying!”

The gods were horrified.

Sensing their gaze, Apollo frowned.

Immediately, the infinite light covered this space and blocked the sight of the probe.

His power of Etheric Divine Body exploded in full force, hitting Hydra, who was furious and had already fought back desperately.

After a short fight, he smashed all of Hydra’s heads with his fists.

“It seems that eighteen heads are your final form, which is disappointing.”

Wiping the blood on his body, Apollo shook his head.

Only a few of the gods had a powerful divine body. If he wanted to test the power of the Etheric Divine Body, he could only practice with monsters.

He didn’t want Hydra to be useless.

Hydra, in a desperate state, should be able to compare the strength of the third or fourth rank of the Main God. But it is still difficult to resist the power of Etheric Divine Body. The strength of my Etheric Body can generally be comparable to the level of the seventh or eighth rank of the Main God.

With my own divine power and several powerful divine arts, it is not a problem to fight against the ninth-rank Main God. Zeus should not have reached the Primordial Domain, but he has the authority of the King of Gods and restrains the gods.

After thinking about it, Apollo felt that he was not Zeus’ opponent.

Unless he took that burning sword out.

Just when he solved Hydra.

Among the gods who were originally watching from the outside world, the sun God Helios hummed coldly: “It was covered with the power of light. Do you have any secrets that you dare not to let people see?”

He looked at his sister, the moon goddess Selene.

And asked, “How is the contact with Oceanus coming along?”

Selene responded: “We have already contacted him. He promised to attack together, just like this.”

Helios roared in a low voice: “He forced me to do this. He proclaimed himself in the mortal world, and now all those mortals think he is the sun god and has completely forgotten about me.”

“If I don’t teach him a hard lesson, won’t it make the gods think I’m a coward? Hmph, now I have to wait for the right moment to give him a head-butt.”

Selene had to nod her head.

She felt that her brother was recently in a very wrong state and was very irritable.

But she couldn’t tell what was wrong.
