Me, Hydra

Fifty years from now, the war would determine the overall course of Hydra and Olympus.

"Who's to say what the future holds..."

As she thought about it, Hydra narrowed her eyes.

It was foreseeable that although the new gods of Olympus couldn't take part in the battle, there would definitely be uncountable demigod heroes. And at that time, against those demigod heroes. It would be the three hundred forbidden guards and the fierce lion of Nimia, Mirotaunos, who was such a powerful battle force....

I have a train to catch tomorrow, so I'll take the day off.

Volume I: Text-56 - The Legion of Epidemic Doctors

Recently there have been some very mysterious people in Sparta, they generally walk in the shadows of the streets, all covered with a black cloak.

Coming and going in a hurry, never saying a word to anyone else, they are said to be the most mysterious troops in Sparta.

They even surpassed the top three hundred forbidden troops to some extent.

They had only recently appeared, or rather Hydra had only recently formed them.

They were called the Epidemic Doctors, or the Epidemic Doctor Force.

They were just like the latter-day bird-beaked doctors, with round gentleman's hats, covered in black cloaks, and leather gloves even on their revealed hands. The faces are covered by bird-faced masks made of leather, with glass covering the areas of the eyes.

The blackness of the body seemed to speak silently of their danger.

The gatekeeper held a short staff, the top of which was carved to look like a raven, the raven representing the unknown, as ravens were scavenging creatures, and the places they appeared were often battlefields and the like where there were many limbs.

In fact, the Epidemic Medical Unit is simply a biological warfare unit formed by Hydra, simply put they are special units that specialize in researching viruses, pathogenic bacteria and the like.

Their black cloaks were made of beast skin, which effectively kept the germs away, and their beak masks were filled with special fragrances that purified the polluted air. The wooden staffs in their hands were not used to assist them in walking, but rather to prevent infection from germs caused by touching them with their hands. It was because there was a high possibility that they would be infected themselves if they touched the disease-causing bacteria with their hands, and if they were infected, even if they were part of the epidemic medical team, they would be removed immediately. For no other reason, the experiments they conducted were too dangerous....

"My lord, we've already made some headway with the penicillin you're talking about. When the penicillin is completely developed, the sickness rate of Spartan youths will be drastically reduced! But unfortunately, we can only have the earthly preparation you speak of, and without better instruments our output will be hampered..."

Nodding, Hydra spoke matter-of-factly.

"Penicillin works by destroying the cell walls of bacteria and acts as a bactericidal agent during the reproductive phase of the bacterial cells, his potential is far beyond what you can know, and as for the device... go down, I need to think."

Hearing Hydra's words, the beak mask with the brass epidemic doctor branded on it bowed respectfully to Hydra, then slowly faded away.

The true identities of this group of epidemic doctors were actually doctors in the Spartan city-state, and they originally had this rather basic knowledge of things like medicine, so teaching them about germs and other extractions was relatively easy.

There are three types of epidemic doctors, and their types are divided by masks. The epidemiologist who is in charge of researching beneficial bacteria such as penicillin and antibiotics is the one who brandishes the brass on the beak mask, while the one who brandishes the black iron is in charge of researching pathogenic bacteria and viruses such as smallpox. For example, smallpox and other epidemic doctors. The one with nothing but a mask made of leather is the epidemiologist in charge of assisting.

In addition, there were the epidemic doctor troops that served as the fighting epidemic, they were the elite chosen from the civilian youths, and although they also used masks made of pure leather, the cane they used was carved not with crows, but vultures. In addition, their weapons were crossbows attached to virus test tubes.

Since they were engaged in civilian work, they had a better compatibility for such things, but after all, they were engaged in civilian work, and while they were more receptive to such academic things than youths engaged in combat, their physical strength was a tough nut to crack.

But there was no need to worry, Hydra extracted something like an adrenal hormone from which creatures infected by the Book of the Dead. Once this hormone was injected, although one could gain great strength, but as a price, it was followed by a permanent depletion of life force. And the yield was extremely low, merely maintaining the normal distribution of the infected medical forces. It was impossible to equip Sparta's army on a large scale....

Shaking her head, Hydra turned her attention to the report handed up by the brass epidemic doctor.

Penicillin was one of the greatest discoveries in human history. His transliteration was called penicillin, and in its original history, penicillin had come out at the end of World War II, and it was because of its effectiveness on wound infections. It turned the tide of war against the Allies almost instantly. After the war, penicillin was even more widely used, saving the lives of tens of millions of people. By 1944, the drug was in sufficient supply to treat all Allied soldiers who fought in World War II. For this great invention, Fleming, Flory and Chane were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 for their "discovery of penicillin and its clinical effects".

The invention of the microscope was advanced again with the advent of Hydra, and epidemiologists discovered a mycobacterium on a melon that provided a large amount of penicillin, and prepared a corresponding culture with the blood of the beast and the gods. The availability of penicillin also meant that Spartan soldiers no longer had to worry about dying from infected wounds.

However, in Hydra was unable to produce sophisticated instruments sufficient to extract penicillin due to the knowledge blockade, the yield of penicillin extracted by the earth method was not guaranteed at all, and the purity of penicillin could not be compared to that of future generations....

While Hydra was thinking about it, on the other side, Northern Europe. There was also a major event happening.

........

Penicillin's earthy extraction can be found on the internet, I didn't just make it up....

Anyway, we're getting on the train tomorrow~

Tickets~~~

There's another shift tonight.

Volume 1: Text-57 - Cutting Sword - Frost

Northern Europe, the Atrium.

The most important thing in the Nordic system is the World Tree, the species of which is the ash tree. It is hard to imagine the enormous size of the World Tree, on which nine worlds were born, Midgard, the so-called Atrium, which is the place where humans live.

The Atrium is located in the center of the World Tree, which is a round continent surrounded by the sea. The legendary earthly python, Yemengard, sleeps in the mud bed at the bottom of the sea.

The Atrium is divided into many kingdoms and tribes, and the people in the icy lands of the Atrium tend to exist in tribal form, calling themselves Vikings and taking Odin as their religion, for they are convinced that Odin's tutelage will keep them safe from injury and defeat. These people are called Berserkers, and often wear only the simplest of equipment to charge into enemy lines and kill.

The frozen lands are said to be buried beneath the tundra with many horrific creatures, but as time has passed, these tales of terror have become half-truths or simply stories used to bluff children.

Even if they were true. No one believed the stories either.

There were no absolute kings on the tundra, and in recent years the tundra had expanded again, causing some fear among the magicians and sages of other human kingdoms, for according to the old legends, this was the precursor to the coming of the Winter of Fenrir....

The creed falls apart, all spells lose their bans, and everyone can easily become proficient in things that require great perseverance to learn.

That sounds like a good thing....

But the truth was otherwise, humans were beasts, and officially because of the constraints of power, they had changed from beasts to omnivores with intelligence. Once they lost their constraints, the Sages could even foresee what was going to happen next....

Fenrir was constantly tearing at the chains that bound him to his body.

Fenrir was one of Loki's children, and one of the beasts Odin considered the most dangerous.

The dwarves forged an extremely strong chain from the roots of a stone, the footsteps of a cat, the breath of a fish, the whiskers of a woman, the Achilles tendon of a bear, and the saliva of a bird, and in return, the stone lost its roots, the cat lost its footsteps, the fish lost its breath, the woman lost her whiskers, the bear lost its Achilles tendon, and the bird lost its saliva. And in its place was a chain called Krypnir, which was said to be a chain, but was actually a band of cloth as silky and smooth as silk. To bind Fenrir, Thor's brother, the god of war, Tir spoke of it as an extremely strong chain! We want to test how powerful you really are! If you don't believe me, I can put my hand in your mouth!"

Hearing Tir's words, Fenrir nodded his head.

Unsurprisingly, Fenrir was easily locked in by Krypnir, and seeing that the gods had no intention of letting go of him, Fenrir bit off Tir's arm.

Knowing that Tyrell was called victorious precisely because of his superb double blade, the loss of an arm was no small blow to Tyrell.

It was all worth it, at least from now on....

Fenrir was locked, and the spread of Fenrir's Winter was greatly slowed. And it is in the deepest part of this endless tundra that Fenrir keeps tearing the chain called Krypnir.

But our protagonist is not Fenrir, but the broken wrist of Tir, who was torn down by Fenrir.

When he first put his hand in Fenrir's mouth, what Tir held in his hand was not one of his preferred twin swords, but the magic sword, the Vorpal Sword, which would bring danger to his master because of its power, though powerful.

The Vorpal Sword was rumored to be the sword that King Svaflamme, the grandson of the main god Odin, had the dwarf build. King Svaflamme threatened to kill the dwarves, and asked Duvalin and Durin to create a "sword with a hilt and belt made of gold, sharpened like mud, will not rust, and can shoot a hundred times". Although reluctantly completing the sword, Duvalin and Du Lin carved a curse on the sword: "Swarvlame will die for this sword; besides Swarvlame, the next three sword masters will also die for this sword."

Because of coincidence, Svavlamme knew the secret of the curse and gave the Vorpal Sword to Tir, hoping that Tir's divine power would suppress the curse. However, since Till was more adept at dual swords, the sword was put on hold.

Later, because of Fenrir, the Vorpal Sword fell in an unknown corner of the frozen earth.
