Chapter 236: The Strongest Guy With Connections, Heracles

"Setting aside the possibility that Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha himself, my first thought was that Heracles might merely be an incarnation of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, because according to Hua Nation's mythological records on the Victorious Fighting Buddha, the Victorious Fighting Buddha possesses the ability to use his own body hair to transform into clones of himself.

However, after I finished reviewing Heracles's mythological records, I found that the likelihood of Heracles being a clone of the Victorious Fighting Buddha is not high.

Compared to Heracles being a clone of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, I am more inclined to believe that Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple."

Disciple?!

When this string of remarks from 'Attempting to Self-Isolate Until Death' was posted, it instantly caused an uproar among netizens.

Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple?!

Does that mean… the Victorious Fighting Buddha has been to Greek mythology?

But how exactly did you figure out that Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple?

Before netizens even had to ask, 'Attempting to Self-Isolate Until Death,' already caught up in the excitement, couldn't hold back.

"The reason I believe Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple is because of what I mentioned earlier—Heracles possesses superhuman strength and wields a staff, both of which are identical to the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Precisely because he is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple, Heracles walks the Victorious Fighting Buddha's path, emulating his master in vanquishing demons, and the gods also intentionally help Heracles, letting him vanquish demons and walk the Victorious Fighting Buddha's path.

There's another point—Heracles's life story involves an awful lot of masters.

That's right, he has many masters—Chiron, Castor, Linus are all his masters. What does this indicate? It indicates that Heracles is a god with an extraordinary affinity for masters. Since he has so many masters, why couldn't the Victorious Fighting Buddha be one of them?

I even suspect that the Victorious Fighting Buddha was Heracles's very first master. The reasoning is simple—the little animal-skin skirt Heracles wore right after birth is nearly identical to what the Victorious Fighting Buddha wore at his own birth. There's reason to believe the Victorious Fighting Buddha was reminiscing about the past, so he dressed his own disciple in this getup.

As for Heracles's later masters, the odds are eight or nine out of ten that they only took Heracles on because of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. After all, the Victorious Fighting Buddha couldn't stay in Greece forever—when he returned to the Eastern Immortal Realm, he naturally entrusted Heracles to a few people.

The reason I think this way is because one of Heracles's masters, Chiron, is a sage in Greek mythology. Legend has it that he was not only Heracles's master but also the teacher of many Greek heroes—a great sage.

Entrusting Heracles's education to such a great sage put the Victorious Fighting Buddha's mind at ease.

The crucial point is that Heracles had far more teachers than anyone else—the Victorious Fighting Buddha clearly went to great lengths.

Additionally, there's another reason.

Heracles not only had excellent affinity for masters, even the gods were very willing to help him.

According to records, the things bestowed upon Heracles by the gods far outnumber those given to others.

For instance, Apollo gave him a bow and arrows, Hermes gave him a sword, Athena gave him weapons, a robe, and a bronze gong, the Fire God gave him a golden breastplate, the Sun God gave him a golden bowl, and so on—many, many things.

Most of the gods who gave him these things were among the Twelve Olympians.

The Twelve Olympians vying to give things to Heracles, one after another, sending so many gifts—such popularity is excessively good, isn't it?

On what basis? Just because Heracles is Zeus's son? Impossible—Zeus has so many sons, so why would the gods scramble to give things to Heracles specifically, rather than to Zeus's other sons?

Moreover, they are Greek gods who rank alongside Zeus among the Twelve Olympians—do they need to curry favor with one of Zeus's sons like that? There's no need, is there?

But if Heracles's master is the Victorious Fighting Buddha, then it's a different story.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha is a god of Hua Nation's mythology, and one of the great figures at that. Such a powerful being deserves the Twelve Olympians giving him face, and as the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple, how could the Twelve Olympians not help him, even sending Heracles some gifts to curry a bit of favor with the Victorious Fighting Buddha?

Combining all of the above, I believe Heracles is the Victorious Fighting Buddha's disciple."

For a long while, the internet fell silent, then in the next second it exploded like cannon shells.

Roaring, loud shouts of 'Holy shit,' violently slapping tables…

Countless netizens vented their emotions in every conceivable way in front of their computers and phones.

"Damn, Heracles has this deep of a background? I thought Heracles built himself up from nothing, turns out he's a guy with connections, boohoo. jpg."

"So the deepest background in Greek mythology is Heracles!!"

"What Tyson's daughter, some king's son WSC, those are all too low-tier. The strongest guy with connections is Heracles—grandpa is the second-generation King of the Gods of Greece, dad is the third-generation King of the Gods of Greece, Zeus, master is the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Luffy looks confused and says 'I heard someone wants to kill my whole family. jpg'"

Once the relationship between Heracles and the Victorious Fighting Buddha spread, it was like a fuse igniting explosives—the entire internet went crazy, and countless netizens began frantically searching for other mythological figures.

They figured there must be other mythological figures connected to Hua Nation's mythology.

Discussions among netizens of every country about Hua Nation's mythology swept across the globe at the speed of a storm.

Apart from searching for connections between mythological figures and Hua Nation's mythology, a global craze for studying Hua Nation's mythology also rose.

Hua Nation's mythology is powerful, mysterious, and its protective nature toward its own is no less than that of the Feathered Serpent God, if not more so.

How could such a mythology not inspire worship, not inspire fanaticism.

"Mom! Dad! Hua Nation's Spring Festival is almost here, let's put up Spring Festival couplets at home! I want to buy door gods to stick on the door, and I want to buy immortal statues to place at home and worship morning, noon, and evening!"

A Greek netizen said to his parents, showing his parents the buzzing news online.

Without a word of protest, this netizen's father took a puff of his cigarette, stood up, and went straight out to buy door gods, as well as statues of Bodhisattva, the Earth God, and the Kitchen God, preparing to place them at home.

From this day forward, their family would worship Hua Nation's mythology.

Similar scenes played out all over the world. More and more people grew fanatically devoted to Hua Nation's mythology, even signing up for elective courses on Hua Nation's mythology at school and beginning to learn the Hua Nation script, all to gain a deeper understanding of Hua Nation's mythology.

At the White House in Mi Nation, A-Chuan trembled, secretly resolving in his heart that tomorrow he would sneak off and get himself a second name—Chuan Jianguo.

At this moment.

Shortly after 'Attempting to Self-Isolate Until Death' posted the message, many netizens were searching for clues linking Hua Nation's mythology with other mythologies.

While searching, one netizen actually discovered some clues.

"Everyone, I just looked through various mythologies and made a major discovery!! My discovery is related to Yinglong!"

Once the message was posted.

In less than a minute, it immediately drew the attention of a large number of netizens.

Then, this netizen quickly revealed the discovery.

"Everyone, do you know what the records about dragons in Hua Nation's mythology are like?"
