Episode 154.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes.
I was looking back and forth between the two boxes, having a hard time making a choice.
No, more precisely.
“Is Aphrodite taunting you right now?”
[That’s what it seemed to me.]
Hercules nodded in the pop-up window.
Siwoo burst out laughing without realizing it.
‘Anyway, who wouldn’t say that the Greek and Roman gods are famous for being narrow-minded?’
It seemed as if Aphrodite was using her divine powers to see through the box.
She is a goddess of beauty with weak fighting power, but she is still a goddess.
Even her husband was Hephaestus.
It wouldn’t be a big deal to just look through the box.
But whatever.
“Have you secured the box?”
This was also what Siwoo had expected.
[I asked Hephaestus to block all abilities as you said.]
The situation was a bit ironic, though.
Well, anyway.
[Tch.]
Eventually, Aphrodite’s impression was distorted.
But the distorted impression was really pretty.
On the one hand, I wonder how that could be possible.
[What do you see when you look at it so intently?]
[Shut up, you bitch.]
In another sense, I wondered how that could be possible.
This is a really cool conversation level.
Aphrodite was unable to make a choice for a while.
I continued to worry for a long time about whether I should rely purely on luck.
For more than ten minutes, Aphrodite was unable to make a choice.
This part is too boring to be uploaded as a video.
“I guess I’ll have to edit this part out.”
Siwoo said that and skipped the video.
But what the heck.
[Huh? Edit?]
Hercules tilted his head in the pop-up window.
And then Hercules’ question followed.
[Editing the video?]
“Yes. I can’t just upload this boring part. No, wait.”
Siwoo asked Hercules as a sudden thought crossed his mind.
“You mean you haven’t edited anything at all during that time?”
[I didn’t do that.]
“So you uploaded the video as is?”
[Wasn’t that supposed to be wrong?]
Siwoo was at a loss for words.
And after thinking about it carefully.
“uh….”
That’s true.
Videos previously uploaded to the Hercules channel.
There were only videos without any editing techniques.
However, since the video only shows the key points, there was no time to get bored.
‘Somehow, I felt like my subscribers had been destroyed before that.’
It seemed like there was a reason for everything.
Siwoo let out a small sigh.
“It might have been okay for a while, but this needs to be edited out.”
Where are the subscribers who would sit around and watch a 10-minute-long video about their worries?
It’s a good thing you didn’t press back.
I also had to deal with the previous goddesses’ battle of curses.
‘Because you might get dizzy listening to it.’
For many reasons, editing was absolutely necessary for this video.
[But I don’t know how to edit.]
I didn’t even expect it in the first place.
How could that muscle whale, who only knows muscles, know editing techniques?
More than anything.
[Do I really have to do this?]
Hercules felt no need to edit at all.
[There is nothing unimportant in the exercise from beginning to end. Is there a need to edit this out?]
“That’s the case when you upload a workout video. This isn’t it.”
[Hmm…]
Hercules looked like he didn’t agree.
It seemed like he had no understanding of the importance of editing.
How should I explain this?
After a moment of hesitation, Siwoo opened his mouth.
“If the full video is pure muscle, then the edited video can be seen as a kind of real muscle.”
[aha!]
Then Hercules nodded as if he understood immediately.
[Editing was so important!]
Anyway.
The brain structure of that muscle whale was completely incomprehensible.
To be exact, I didn’t really want to understand it.
anyway.
This video definitely needed editing.
‘I can’t leave it to Deokgu…’
The videos on GodTube are only visible to Siwoo.
So, there is only one conclusion.
‘Should I do it?’
Now, I’ve left all the editing to Deokgu.
But in the past, Siwoo also worked as an editor.
Although his editing skills were not amazing, I would say that he went beyond the basics.
A moment of thought.
‘It’s not like Hercules takes pictures every day.’
To be exact, Siwoo did not provide video content every day.
A few weeks at the shortest.
Once every few months if it’s long.
That gave me enough time to edit.
“There’s nothing I can do. I’ll do it for you.”
Siwoo nodded and said.
[really?]
“Yes. But you have to properly plan a special tutoring curriculum. If you ask me about my talent later, I’ll be in trouble.”
[Is there any possibility, sir?]
Hercules spoke, rubbing his palms together.
Hercules’ speech also became more respectful.
Crunch!
The sound of rubbing muscles was a bonus.
After that, Siwoo decided to edit it.
Aphrodite in the video was still unable to make a choice.
After about 20 minutes, Aphrodite made her choice.
[The left box. Here you can smell the fragrant scent of Adonis.]
Aphrodite finally chose the box on the left.
Aphrodite walked slowly towards the box.
The tension grew taut with every step Aphrodite took.
Finally, Aphrodite stood in front of the box and took a deep breath.
And then I opened the box quietly.
[doesn’t exist?]
There wasn’t any.
There was literally nothing.
What this means is one thing.
[Gyahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!]
I could hear Persephone’s laughter as she swayed.
Aphrodite cried out with a look of despair.
[I, I can’t accept this! It’s, it’s invalid! It’s invalid!]
[Yeah~. No. Are you really going to break the oath you made on the River Styx?]
[Ahhh….]
Aphrodite’s legs gave out and she collapsed on the floor.
The look of despair grew even darker.
Persephone’s expression, on the other hand, was filled with joy.
A stark intersection of joy and sorrow.
Persephone approached the box on the right with cheerful steps.
[Adonis~! My sister is here. Now we will be together forever.]
Persephone immediately opened the box and checked what was inside.
and.
[What, what is it…?]
Persephone’s expression was stained with confusion.
[Where did Adonis go and what kind of flower is it…?]
A single red flower in a box.
Adonis was nowhere to be found.
Aphrodite also had a blank expression on her face, wondering what was going on.
[What, what is this…?]
[What happened?]
Silence fell as the two goddesses were taken aback.
and.
[Hercules, no way you…]
[Are you trying to scam us?!]
The two goddesses cried out to Hercules.
A clear feeling of anger was directed at Hercules.
No wonder, Hercules had guaranteed this fact on the River Styx.
[There is definitely an Adonis in one of the two boxes!]
[Where is Adonis and why are there flowers!]
This was a violation of the oath on the River Styx.
But why on earth is that?
[Yes?]
In the video, Hercules tilted his head as if asking what was being said.
[Isn’t Adonis in the box that Persephone chose?]
[What, what did you say?]
Persephone asked back with a look on her face as if asking what the hell she was talking about.
Hercules seemed to be wondering what the problem was.
[Isn’t Persephone holding a flower called ‘Adonis’?]
Adonis.
In fact, this name had two meanings.
A man named Adonis.
A flower called Adonis.
To be exact, it was the name of the flower that bloomed at the spot where Adonis died.
Just as the mint from peppermint is named after minte.
The Adonis flower is also named after Adonis.
And Hercules said:
[I said that there was Adonis in one of the two boxes. I didn’t say that there was Adonis himself?]
Also, the requirements for this bet were as follows:
[If you fail to choose Adonis, you will give up your ownership of Adonis.]
And now.
As a result, no one chose the man named Adonis.
Both goddesses failed to choose the box with Adonis in it.
There was only Persephone who chose the flower called Adonis.
[If this happens, both of you will have to give up your ownership of Adonis.]
Hercules shrugged his shoulders as if he had no other choice.
and.
[What, what, what, what, what…]
[This, this, this, this, this…]
The expressions of the two goddesses suddenly disappeared.
Hey, what the heck ….
All the concepts that make up reason.
All of those things ascended at once.
[Oh, this is ridiculous! This… This is unacceptable!]
[It’s invalid! It was a nonsensical bet to begin with!!]
It came to the point where the bet itself was denied.
but.
[Are you going to break the oath you made on the River Styx?]
[……]
[……]
At Hercules’ one word, both of them shut their mouths tightly.
Hercules said with a smirk.
[There was also a condition of confidentiality, but you two should come to an agreement on that.]
Then Hercules took a step and left the place.
The back of Hercules moving away.
[Hey… Hey…]
[I… I… .]
The two goddesses just stared blankly at Hercules as he walked away.
The two goddesses who were chasing Adonis are now looking only at Hercules.
And for a moment.
[Hey, X -foot cub !!!]
[Hey, you fucking dog!!!]
The two goddesses’ curses echoed throughout the sky.
The wrath of the god who pours down.
Kwaaaa …
Kwakwakwakwakwa─!!
The whole world was boiling with vicious murderous intent.
but.
Kkaaa …
A monstrous force explodes, and the entire world becomes distorted.
Even space cannot withstand it and disappears.
In it, the anger of the two goddesses meant nothing.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
It was only to be consumed by an evil force and disappear.
A truly overwhelming sight.
[what.]
Hercules’ voice is heard through them.
Why on earth is that?
[……]
[……]
The two goddesses simply kept their mouths shut.
Instead, he slowly and carefully observed Hercules.
[what.]
Hercules asked again.
[……]
[……]
The two goddesses were just holding each other tightly.
* * *
Hercules’s scepter that crushed the wrath of two goddesses.
I wondered if that could be called a slogan, but whatever.
The video ended with Hercules’s snarl.
“Well done.”
Siwoo nodded.
I was a little worried because the process was complicated.
As expected, Hercules did a great job with the content.
Above all, to finally crush the wrath of the goddesses.
“You did it perfectly?”
I could truly say it was perfect.
[Right? I feel so happy to be educating the two goddesses.]
[I was so angry that I kept holding back from uploading the video right away.]
Hercules chuckled and laughed happily.
In a way, it’s a situation where two goddesses were deceived.
But what.
Siwoo didn’t particularly feel sorry for the two goddesses.
‘Who told you to cheat?’
They even kidnapped and imprisoned her and raped her in turns for six months.
And this is it.
How can the words be different?
Imagine if the genders were reversed in this situation.
When I think about it this way, it really is true.
‘They’re the ones who’ll tear you to pieces.’
These were things that could never be tolerated.
The anger increases several times over just by changing the gender.
‘Is this a joke that men can never make?’
anyway.
Siwoo did not pity the two goddesses.
[How many views will this video get?]
“Well? I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but I don’t think it’ll be much.”
The video itself was well chosen.
[Haha! The number of subscribers will increase a lot, right?]
[How much will it increase? 1,000? 2,000?]
Hercules looked very expectant.
And then, crunch!
Hercules’ muscles also twitched and surged upward.
Somehow, it seemed like the muscles were also very promising.
‘I think muscles will start talking later.’
So, I’m saying, ‘I’m really looking forward to it too!’
I wonder what kind of strange and absurd thing this is.
Crunch! Crunch!
Looking at those Hercules’ muscles, it wasn’t all that bad.
anyway.
“I’m really looking forward to it too.”
Actually, Siwoo was also looking forward to it.
But before that.
“What happened to Adonis?”
Adonis, the central figure of this video.
Although he didn’t appear in the video, he was the most important character.
[Liberation happened as promised.]
[I think he was quite anxious.]
Siwoo nodded slightly.
It was none other than the gods.
The Greek and Roman gods are also famous for being narrow-minded.
There was no way to know what kind of retaliation would come.
Of course, I swore an oath on the River Styx.
But this wasn’t a panacea.
If you use a shortcut, you can get revenge without breaking your oath.
Didn’t Shiwoo use a trick to defraud the two goddesses right away?
Hercules didn’t care whether retaliation came or not.
But Adonis was not like that.
Especially if this video is uploaded, the facts related to Hades will definitely be known.
I really didn’t know I would become Cerberus’ dinner.
That’s why Siwoo asked Hercules not to upload the video right away.
“Then you are doing the final touches while I edit the video.”
[Last task? Oh, the one you mentioned earlier?]
“yes.”
[what is that?]
Hercules asked curiously.
The final task to appease the wrath of the two goddesses.
Siwoo opened his mouth slowly.
“Offer a sacrifice of thanks to Zeus, who has done nothing in this matter.”
[……what?]
Hercules asked with a dumbfounded expression.
The gaze looking at Siwoo was asking the reason.
Zeus, who did nothing in this matter.
Zeus literally did nothing in this affair.
But what kind of thank offering are you offering?
Of course, Siwoo knew that.
but.
“Don’t ask why.”
Siwoo was resolute.
I didn’t even need to know what I was thankful for.
That was Greco-Roman mythology.
