The Journey of the Overlord

"...... Ooh. Not good, weird cow. It seems that the Iron City is made of "Adamantium". And it's protected by traveling on the Spiritual Vein. It can't be stopped by a half-wit's strength, let alone destroyed."

Golden Iron, the most precious treasure of Greece, is incredibly hard and tougher than steel, and will only be destroyed by a particularly powerful attack.

"This is really ...... actually a capital city built with the greatest treasure of Greece, there are also rigid people in the box court. Did the star beasts have to raise their hands and give up too?"

On the tiger's back, the young, dark-skinned man smiled.

"Although I'm reluctant, I can only ascend. An entrance should exist somewhere. Or cut up the outer wall as well. It's made of adamantine iron, but with your battle axe you should be able to cut it off. From what I've seen this battle axe ...... is the prototype of Zeus's thunder, right."

This tiger wasn't an ordinary tiger, but a star beast, taking over the upper rank of the region of heaven. Called the White Forehead Tiger, it was a star-made guardian beast made by the three strongest species of the Box Court. Even in this Box Court of the Gods, it was a rare species that perhaps could not be seen once in a lifetime.

He was not an ordinary young man. His name was "Minotaur", and he was once called "Asterios", a famous labyrinth monster in Greek mythology.

--His name was Minotaur, and he was once known as Asterios, the famous maze monster of Greek mythology, who was born from the Greek Republic's Mediterranean Sea, the floating island of Crete. The legacy of the "Minotaur" is based on the prince of that island.

According to the myth, the king who ruled Crete at that time borrowed a beautiful cow from Poseidon, but the king, who was obsessed with the beauty of the cow, broke his contract with Poseidon and refused to return the cow, claiming it as his own. Enraged, Poseidon curses the princess of Crete to love the sea cow and abduct her.

The princess ordered one of the country's leading craftsmen to make a puppet of the cow and wear it.

The child born to the princess was given the ancestral name Asterios, but was later renamed Minotaur.

By royal decree, the Minotaur was imprisoned in an inescapable labyrinth and every nine years would consume the living sacrifices of seven young boys and girls. Afterwards, the Minotaur was crushed by Ingenious Theseus, who had infiltrated the labyrinth, and the legend ended here.

The pathetic monster who was locked up in the Labyrinth of Isolation and given the name of animal by his father.

That is the Prince of Crete.

The young man who means star and thunderbolt in Greek, "Asterios", was this dark-skinned boy.

Originally the official name of the double-edged axe used by Asterios was "Labrys" - that is, a grace equivalent to the etymology of "Labyrinth". "Keraunos" is another weapon. Although it is also a very powerful boon, this "Keraunos", formed by the sovereignty of the sun, has overriding power.

This is because the double-edged axe, which grants Taurus its sovereignty, has a power equal to that of the prototype artifacts of the gods of Western Europe, Northern Europe and the Orient.

The twin blades of the double-edged axe were, in the past, regarded as the two horns of one of the most sacred animals, the bull, and were many times used as a symbol of the power of the ruler of the skies.

In Western Europe it was the thunder of Zeus.

In Northern Europe it was the hammer of Thor.

In the Eastern Ocean is Indra's mortar and pestle.

In the hands of the Minotaur, however, the Minotaur possessed an incredibly powerful boon, [Proto Keraunos], which was the same as the [Proto Keraunos] held by the Black Rabbit, [Proto Keraunos], which was an incredibly powerful boon.

The powerful shape of the axe, which is used to defeat the enemy at both ends, is considered to be the weapon of a god or goddess of war, which means "the strongest proof". That is why this axe was given the most destructive power among the 12 signs of the zodiac.

Even a fortress made of adamantine iron, which is used as a weapon of the gods, may be broken in two with a single blow. Only the Shield of Aegis, the hardest shield of the twelve constellations, can override the "Keraunos" that liberates with its full power.

"Hmm ...... should I say really worthy of a star beast."

The young man snorted and turned to the large axe on his shoulder.

"But you're underestimating it a bit, Fairy Tiger. If I were to seriously wield the [Simulated Divine Grid - Star Bull Thunder (Proto Keraunos)] seven miles and four corners - until the end of the horizon would be reduced to ashes. But I have no such plans myself."

"Ho ho ho. Aversion to unproductive destruction? It's called a strange bull but it's rather loose handed. It will care about the damage around it, as if it's a noble martial artist."

White-Eyed Tiger said in a joking tone.

He didn't mean anything at all per se, but the other party showed an unexpected reaction.

Asterios, whose pupils were swimming and unable to speak, pressed his mouth with trepidation and bitterness. He looked dumbly into the face of the white-fronted tiger, then stared at his palms as if searching for who he was, and said.

"...... says it, yes. No, as you say. What the hell am I talking about. What will harm innocent civilians or whatever has nothing to do with me as a strange cow. What was just said wasn't what Minotaur should have said ...... incorrectly."

Asterios deliberated his words and closed his mouth.

In the end, the so-called monsters were disasters with intent.

The aforementioned Peliton was exactly like that.

Pelliton is not a being who "kills to survive," but a being who has the instinct and reason to kill. However, while they are eulogizing life, they actually do not need to kill. If one asks whether the homicidal species can still live without killing, the answer is undoubtedly yes.

This is the same for the Minotaur.

Although the Minotaur of the Labyrinth is a cannibal, it is not a race that lives by cannibalism.

Rather, in terms of the nutritional value needed to survive, it was an inefficient practice.

Even so Minotaur still eats humans - because of this act of devouring living beings to sustain their souls, the monster nature that was boarded up in this profanity was what his spirituality depended on.

"-. Yes, I'm not wrong. The Minotaur is not a murderous species, but a cannibalistic one. Shouldn't commit murder that has nothing to do with cannibalism. ...... Don't use such misleading expressions again, Xianhu. I, for one, am not at fault."

Asterios angrily chastised the White-Eyed Tiger.

White-Eyed Tiger saw through his near troubled thinking and twisted reasonableness, but narrated apologies without any emotion.

"Is that so. That was rude of me. You were indeed not wrong. I will be careful about what I say in the future. ...... So, what to do? It's hard to invade at this rate?"

Back to the topic at hand. The question now is how to break into this huge moving fortress.

The Elf Train was still under attack from the "Heavenly Herding Ox", but its speed wasn't decreasing. The speed of the elven trains is insignificant from a star beast's point of view, but I'm not sure what kind of trump card they're hiding. We should try to avoid the ugly situation where the opponent escapes by counterattacking because of underestimating him.

Asterios, despite being blocked from the inevitable strike of simulated thunder, smiled fearlessly as if there was still a chance of victory.

"About that, I have an idea."

"Ooh. May I hear more about it."

"It's just the key question. I just need to hold the game normally as Minotaur and fight that group. Then wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to go inside and pull that group out?"

Asterios smiled a rampaging smile. The white frontal tiger thought it would be nice if it could be done. But he retorted with the sight of what to do.

Asterios took from his arms a small double-edged axe used in ritual sacrifice.

The white frontal tiger noticed immediately that it was a powerful boon - but he suddenly stepped on the atmosphere away from the elven train.

Asterios also watches out for a crisis, then immediately grasps the situation.

The deck of the elven train opened and crossbow bolts appeared.

"It's coming! Prepare for battle, Odd Bull!"

Hearing the warning from the White-Eyed Tiger, Asterios set up his stance. This was an extremely high performance crossbow cannon that had the grace to track the enemy, so it would track them even if they avoided it.

It would be difficult to deal with it if you didn't think that you would shoot them all down.

Asterius held the double-edged axe with one hand and the fur of the white-fronted tiger with the other.

However! Right now!
