~6 min read 1,138 words

Even after the gods departed and returned to their dwelling places, online heated discussions showed no sign of dying down.

The relationship between Niutou and Minotaur spread at lightning speed.

In just a short while, the news spread from the internet to every corner, even people who never went online knew about it.

Meanwhile, the netizen who proposed the theory, "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death," gained followers at an astonishing rate.

"Big bro, you're awesome—you figured all this out."

Many netizens admired this netizen.

For this, "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and being revered by all; he became addicted in an instant, grew wildly arrogant, his courage swelled, and he began recklessly boasting, voicing out ideas he had long held.

"Actually, I had already noticed the relationship between Niutou and Minotaur back when another netizen discussed the connection between Niutou and Mian and Anubis; I didn't just discover that—I uncovered many astonishing things."

After typing this, he didn't continue; instead, he crossed his legs, sat at his desk like a grandmaster, and suddenly felt as if he held the entire world's heart in his hands, orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.

This comfortable feeling, if forced into words, was what Sichuan people called "bashi"—extremely bashi.

As expected, netizens flooded "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" with questions.

People are like this—once curiosity is sparked, they won't rest until they get answers, relentlessly pressuring "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" to reveal what he had found.

"Big brother, I've already taken off my pants—just tell us this?"

"Quick, tell us what it is, or I'll come to your house to check your water meter—do you believe me?"

"Onii~ Tell us quickly~ I can't wait anymore, I want to know!"

"Damn! Where's my knife! Holding back info deserves death, God's Roar. jpg"

Under the shouts of many netizens, "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" finally stopped playing coy.

Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death:

"Sorry, I just went to get a glass of water. Don't get so excited—let me explain slowly."

Ever since another netizen suggested Niutou and Mian had a connection with the death god Anubis, implying Chinese mythological figures bore traces of other cultures' myths, I became deeply curious and spent many days researching ancient and modern mythological figures across nations, making comparisons—and I discovered the relationship between Niutou and Minotaur.

I didn't just find that one—I found others too.

I discovered that China's Battle Victory Buddha and Greece's Heracles seem remarkably similar.

The Battle Victory Buddha, upon birth, wore a leather skirt, possessed boundless strength, could lift the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, and had a temperament that was bold, fiery, willing to storm the Tiangong at a moment's notice—in short, short-tempered and arrogant, wielding the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, a giant club.

In the end, he was sent by the Buddha of the Shenming Sect to escort Tang Sanzang, subduing demons and monsters along the way.

Now consider Heracles, also known as Hercules—he too wore a leather skirt at birth, possessed boundless strength, was the great hero of Greek mythology, had a similarly fiery temper, solved problems with brute force, and wielded a club as well.

In the end, like the Battle Victory Buddha, he received orders from above to slay monsters—I'm sure everyone is familiar with Heracles' Twelve Labors, which involved killing twelve monsters, just like subduing demons and monsters.

Complete silence.

The online clamor came to an abrupt halt; countless netizens swallowed their saliva, eyes bulging.

They had imagined what "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" might reveal—many thought it might be that Minotaur wasn't just connected to Niutou, but that Niutou, Niu Wang, and Qingniu were likely related.

Or perhaps Anubis and Niutou and Mian were distant relatives? Or maybe Anubis was originally a Chinese deity who went to Egyptian mythology for advanced study…

In short, they had speculated on countless possibilities for "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death"'s discovery, considered many mythological figures—but never imagined he would say the Battle Victory Buddha!

Countless netizens were stunned, every pore brimming with curiosity.

How could the Battle Victory Buddha and Heracles be so similar? Could it be… that the Battle Victory Buddha and Heracles were the same person?

Since Sun Wukong earned the title Battle Victory Buddha and grew bored in the Immortal Realm, did he create a clone who went to Greek mythology—this clone being Heracles?

No netizen was uncurious; no netizen was unshocked.

The revelation from "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" left their minds reeling.

Throughout the entire process, few dared to question it—even those who considered questioning deleted their comments before sending them, because at first glance, how could the Battle Victory Buddha possibly relate to Heracles? But upon rereading the post, thinking it over, it actually made perfect sense—unanswerable.

The next moment.

Netizens went even crazier; that feverish curiosity erupted like a volcano, surged like a tsunami.

Keyboards clacked furiously; every netizen urged "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" to explain the connection between the Battle Victory Buddha and Heracles immediately—some wild, wealthy netizens even declared: if "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" didn't speak, they would dox him and storm his house to smash down his door.

Won't tell us? Fine—beat you until you talk!

This time, "Attempt to Self-Isolate Until Death" didn't play coy—he knew one delay was clever, two was disastrous; with thirty years of single-handed typing speed unleashed, he rapidly sent his message.

"When I discovered the Battle Victory Buddha and Heracles were similar, I initially guessed they were the same person.

After all, they were too alike—both possessed boundless strength, wielded clubs, and received orders from above to subdue demons and monsters. But then I thought deeper—it didn't make sense. The Battle Victory Buddha in Chinese mythology was a legendary figure who dared to storm the Tiangong.

Heracles resembled the Battle Victory Buddha, but honestly, in Greek mythology, Heracles was not a chief god; in terms of fame and power, Heracles paled in comparison to the Battle Victory Buddha.

This might sound unfriendly to Greek netizens, but it's the truth—after all, the East is a forbidden zone for gods, and Chinese mythology is one of the Four Great Ancient Civilizations; its power is evident even from the Babylonian myths.

Which of the Four Great Ancient Civilizations was weak?

The Battle Victory Buddha stormed the Tiangong and battled countless immortals and gods—his strength in Chinese mythology is undeniable. How could a deity who earned such legendary titles as Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Battle Victory Buddha end up in Greek mythology as merely a strongman?

At the very least, if he went to Greek mythology, even the worst he could be was one of the Twelve Olympians.

So I ruled out the possibility that Heracles was just the Battle Victory Buddha's idle clone, sent to Greek mythology."
