Gigantomachia – Epilogue

A day before the Olympian gods invaded the Plain of Plesra.

In accordance with the opinion that a warning should also be given to the human world… an oracle was issued to each temple.

Tomorrow, no one is to come near the Plains of Plesra.

The terrible monsters, Gigas, are overflowing.

If you get caught up in the war of the gods, only death awaits you.

The human world was filled with controversy over the sudden oracle.

Why did you warn me about the Plains of Plesra, unlike usual? Why did you say it was war?

“Are you saying that the Plains of Plessera are overflowing with those Gigas?”

“I think the gods are trying to eradicate those monsters, just like Apollo killed the king serpent Python a long time ago.”

“Hmm. If you look back at past history, it’s said that those with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human were strong enough to rival gods.”

“At that time, it is said that the gods subdued the Gigas who were destroying the temple.”

“There is also a record that the god Ares and the goddess Athena descended in person near Athens… The monster that King Cadmus fought in his later years had the shape of a snake…”

“Wait a minute! There’s a record of King Cadmus catching a Gigas!”

Even the great hero, the founder of Thebes, could barely catch Gigas.

That means the other way around…

Is the person who catches the monster called Gigas a great hero?

No, just joining the monster-catching expedition is an opportunity to make your reputation as a hero known far and wide!

“If even the gods are fighting against a guy with all their might, if they catch even one of those Gigas and offer it as a sacrifice…”

“Ha. But isn’t that too dangerous?”

“Why don’t we gather all the heroes from Thebes? Put up posters right away and spread the word throughout Greece!”

“But it’s definitely tomorrow…”

“So move quickly! Quickly!”

“Outside there appears a man claiming to be the king of Athens!”

“How did you get here from Athens? No, the king of Athens is the hero who killed the Minotaur. Hmm.”

“The result of summoning the heroes who happened to be in the vicinity of Thrace…”

“Achievement! Where is the achievement!”

“Prince Meleager? No, I heard you’re newlyweds. Why are you here?”

“I was traveling with Atalanta near Thrace at the time, and I thought you might like the skin of that monster called Gigas as a wedding present.”

These days, even the monsters have dried up.

Many heroes, seizing the opportunity to make their fame and name known, gathered around Thrace.

Those who were too far away could not come… but there were enough to form an expedition.

There were no villains or monsters near the famous cities such as Athens and Thebes.

All the monsters that could accomplish great feats were swept away, and the heroes who had completed their training in the afterlife were left to suck their thumbs.

Compared to the training in the underworld or the Argo expedition… the living world was too peaceful, and the heroes were wandering Greece in search of monsters.

So it was also near the Plesra Plains, where people rarely went and where rumors of humans going missing often circulated.

All of this is a manifestation of the desire to somehow achieve great feats and become a great hero.

of course…

“Hmm. I see quite a few familiar faces here.”

“Why isn’t Jason here this time? Where did Castro go?”

“What do you know! Anyway, at this level… I think I can catch and kill any monster that isn’t a Megara goddess!”

It was unfortunate for the few Gigas who barely managed to escape the plains.

* * *

Surprisingly, the heroes were very rational.

That would be the case. They were always trained and fought against those stronger than them.

“The gods said it was war. Then it could be something like Typhon or Python.”

“Let’s stay far away, a fight beyond our imagination may break out.”

“I don’t want to get involved, so I’ll just hide around here…”

That’s how it was. Heroes who quietly hid with their weapons across several mountains.

Indeed, as the oracle had said… the divine power that transcended imagination spread.

Kwaaaaang!!! Ddddd… Whooooow!

Those who witnessed the sky splitting open, the earth trembling, and even mountains flying away.

Fortunately, I was far away and… luck was on my side and I wasn’t caught up in the aftermath of the battle.

“Is it okay for us to intervene?”

“…This seems like something Hercules should come to do.”

They are slowly losing their morale.

No matter how strong they became among humans, it was difficult for them to even guess what was happening on the Plains of Plesra.

They were thinking that it would be right to just go back… until the injured Gigas appeared in front of them.

“Ugh! Cough… Mmm!”

A human upper body with a snake lower body.

Gigas, covered in blood, was running away in a hurry, as if being chased by something.

So… it looks like perfect prey.

“Can’t we catch that guy?”

“It does look a little strong. But it really has to be at least that strong to be considered a feat.”

“I can finally fight properly.”

“Surely he could be stronger than that dragon, the god of war, or the goddess Megara?”

“Okay, let’s kill him!”

Gigas, who was fleeing the battlefield in a hurry, encountered crazy humans blocking his path.

How dare you. Do you, creatures created by the gods, want to die?

Phew!

He swung a nearby tree, intending to kill the insolent humans in one fell swoop, but…

“Whoa! This guy’s pretty fast. Watch out!”

“He’s the one with the injured right eye. If you use the blind spot in your vision…!”

“Let’s gouge out his left eye too!”

For some reason not a single person was hit by his attacks.

* * *

Kwaaang! Pyuyuyong! Woojik.

The heroes and the Gigas fought for quite some time.

Even if it was rotten, it was still a good tooth, and no matter how injured and exhausted Gigas was, it was difficult for humans to catch it.

But this is the position of heroes…

The position of Gigas, who thought that only the gods were his opponents, was different.

“Kuaaah! To a creature of the gods… I…!”

“Shut up! You are weaker than a dragon that never sleeps!”

“Whew… If Hercules had come, someone like you would have folded your back!”

“Huk. Huk. You’re pretty strong, but I’ve fought opponents like you countless times…”

Gigas, who had arrows and spears pierced all over his body, died in anger.

No, I didn’t die fighting against God… I, who was created by Gaia, was defeated by those humans…

“Haa… Hook. Hey. Meleager. Are you okay?”

“Uh. Uh.”

“Be careful, you’re newlyweds. You have Atalanta, right?”

“Take care of Theseus over there. Didn’t he get hit once earlier?”

Of course, the heroes are also injured here and there and are very tired.

Despite this, their faces were filled with the joy of having killed a powerful monster.

“Heh. Heh heh heh heh heh! I killed him!”

“Surely no one died to that guy? Fortunately… no one will get scolded by Chiron later!”

“Python? Chimera? I think it’s stronger than those.”

“Who will take this guy’s skin? Theseus? Meleager? Idas?”

So the heroes, having divided the spoils, hid in the mountains again and searched for their next target.

And so we find another Gigas running away, injured again…

“There it is again!”

“Stand there, you punk! I, Idas, will take your neck…”

“We have to skin the snake, so let’s attack the human part!”

“A feat! A feat!”

“What. What the hell. This crazy…!”

By the time they finished their subjugation, they had been wandering around the mountains.

Three Gigas corpses lay before the heroes.

“Shall I offer it as a sacrifice to Ares?”

“I plan to offer my share to the temple of the goddess Athena when I return to Athens.”

“Then I must offer a sacrifice to Pluto here. Hey! Those who worship Pluto, let’s do it together!”

“Where to Zeus…”

There are several conditions for prayers to be conveyed to God.

The faith and earnestness of the believer offering the prayer, whether God is watching over this world, the quantity and quality of the offering…

Of course, the prayer offering up Gigas, the enemy of the gods, as a sacrifice was the last case.

The quality of the offering is superior to any gold or silver treasure.

Of course, it was relayed to Hades as I was cleaning up the mess on the Plains of Plesra.

After listening to the words of the Goddess Styx, I concentrated for a moment.

“Pluto! How many of the monsters called Gigas that you gave me through the oracle have I caught?”

“These monsters are heading towards the place you rule…”

I saw heroes praying while offering the corpse of Gigas to me.

The corpse of Gigas, with the snake skin removed from its lower body, being burned as a sacrifice.

Zeus also seemed to notice that humans had defeated Gigas, and he had a mysterious expression on his face.

The other gods are the same. They look bewildered by the fact that humans have captured several Gigas.

“Even if he was the god of strength and struggle, were other humans like this?”

“Haven’t humans become too strong?”

“Hercules, I can’t help it, but…”

I felt a little bit ambiguous.

It’s great that you’ve become strong enough to protect yourself, and I know you’ve been working hard in the underworld training camp.

Isn’t it too strong?

If the gods were to do the same to mortals as they did to other weak humans…

Since most of the heroes were demigods, they wouldn’t have any sense of being chosen people, right?

I hope that my pride in being a monster-slaying hero doesn’t develop into arrogance.

Should I make an oracle that humility is a virtue? First, I should tell the goddess of justice to discipline humans well.

“Hmm… Humans have become this strong…”

What is Zeus mumbling like that?
