Chapter 124: A Merciless Greek Tragedy (2)

"Those who are granted great power lose all self-restraint when among the weak. Oranges don't start out rotten. It's the container that makes them rot."

– Onodera, (Nisekoi)

<(Omniscient POV)>

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Shockwaves spread throughout the beach, blowing sand all over the place as Bruce adorned in his Merciless armor beat the shit out of Hercules, treating his face like some sort of premium-grade punching bag.

Hercules in return could not do anything to resist his strikes. He had subconsciously already admitted defeat in his mind even though he refused to say it out loud. In fact, the Greek warrior should have already lost consciousness and fainted multiple times by now, but the golden ichor running through his veins proved his biggest bane as it refused to let him keel over. He was forced by his own god-like stamina to endure Bruce's metal-shattering punches one after another directly in the face without being able to do anything against it at all.

And while Bruce was having his "way" with him, all Hercules could do was just keep kneeling down and silently take it like a bitch. He had even already prayed to his father for help a few times as a last resort but as he had expected, there was no indication of any divine help coming his way. Hercules just hoped that by the time this monster was done with him, he would at least be alive due to his newly gained divine immortality. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

But unfortunately for him, this was not Hercules' day and fate had other plans for this "Hero".

"I can feel it... your warm blood getting colder, losing its shine. It seems that you have already given up, Hercules. Weren't you the one challenging me as a man?... As expected, even after possessing all that power, even after getting the divinity of strength, you are just a B-grade god. A pity! Whoever said, never meet your heroes, had never uttered wiser words." Bruce said with a deep chuckle before grabbing Hercules by his throat.

As Bruce tightened his hold around Hercules' neck, the Greek warrior with a now bleeding and disfigured face quickly spoke up in a hurry. "If you do anything to me, the gods... t-they would..."

Seeing that the Greek warrior had completely given up resistance, Bruce began to focus and used the energy from Ares' Helmet to connect with Hercules' own divine energy before trying to forcefully bring it into himself.

In short, he was attempting to absorb all of Hercules' newly acquired godly powers.

Soon enough, some sort of energy began to enter Bruce's body from Hercules through the connection. However, the feeling wasn't pleasant at all. There was no soothing or pleasant feeling. In fact, it actually felt more like hot molten lava had suddenly replaced the blood flowing in his veins.

But the process was still extremely smooth, the way Hercules' power began to smoothly merge with the helmet's residual energy, Bruce almost felt they were two pieces of the same puzzle that were always meant to be together, a match made in Heaven.

"Wait, why are you absorbing the rest of my divinity?... And why can't I seem to be able to stop it?... Stop, don't. You have no i-idea what you are d-doing. This won't end w-well. Your mortal body and soul can't contain or channel all that power. You will be disturbing the balance of this universe if you d-do this. S-STOPPPP." Hercules tried to separate himself from Bruce's iron grip but failed spectacularly as the famous godly strength he was known for, rapidly left his body, entering Bruce instead.
