Unlike Hydra, a hydra in the Olympian system that threatens the gods with its poison and regenerative powers, it can be killed by cauterizing its wounds to contain regeneration. The Kraken was over a hundred and fifty meters in size, and the ordinary demigods would turn into a puddle of bodily fluid in an instant before the Kraken's sweeping tentacles, and countless tentacles ravaged the Argo's hull, making the magically strengthened planks of the ship creak overwhelmingly. Continuing to be entangled by the Kraken, sooner or later the Argo will disintegrate because it cannot withstand the pressure of its tentacles on the hull, and the overboard members will become Kraken's delicacies.

However, it is clear that even without the help of Athena, who had previously guarded the Argo, in order to prevent accidents, the Olympian gods sent other gods besides Athena as a backup force. The strongest of these is undoubtedly Poseidon the Sea Emperor of the Olympian Triumvirate, who plays the role of trial and protection in Operation Argo. But it is precisely because of the high status of the Sea Emperor Poseidon that he will not personally protect the Argo until he is in a critical situation. Thus, as the Kraken was about to destroy the Argo, the arrows of light falling from the dim sky as the morning sun was about to rise took on the task of repelling the Kraken. The arrows rained down but were so precise that not a single arrow accidentally wounded the Argo's crew, and all of them landed on the Kraken's tentacles above the surface.

The Kraken is a gluttonous creature lucritious by the bait, but also possesses a human-like intelligence, and when threatened with death, the Kraken loosens its tentacles and sinks into the sea driven by the instinct to perceive danger. The massive, muscular flesh collided with the water, causing waves to shake the Argo, forcing the crew to hold on to the ship to avoid falling into the sea.

The sea was calmed by the Kraken's riots, and the crew of the Argo stared blankly at the sunny seascape around them, as if the life-and-death battle with the Kraken had been a dream. However, the blood flowing from the harpoon spears in the hands of the crew was significantly less than half of the previous crew, proving that the crew did not fall into the shenanigans of gods or demons, but actually survived from the claws of the sea monster Kraken.

"I, we survived, thanks to the moon god, thanks to the great Artemis, thanks to Poseidon, the god of the sea, for keeping us alive from the attack of demons."

"O gods, why are there monsters that we can't fight in our glorious journey, is it that any of us has angered the gods?"

"Goddess Athena, we are eager for your majesty, please don't give up on us!"

The rain of arrows that materialized the moonlight made the crew who had saved themselves from being buried in the belly of the fish fall to their knees, but the tears in their eyes could not stop flowing, and their mouths kept chanting words of thanks and disbelief to the gods. The Kraken's attack was so sudden that the damage to the Argo far outweighed any crisis the Argo had encountered since its departure. Whether besieged by an entire nation's legions or surrounded by exotic beasts on land, the Argo never suffered a battle attrition. It's not just the blessings of the gods that protect the Argonauts' crew from dying, it's the power of the demigods who have been taught by the great sage of Olympus, Charon, that is crucial.

However, the crew of the Argo was overconfident, and with their unique skills and protection from the gods, and the destination of the Argo's journey could already be observed with the naked eye, the careless crew of the Argo was killed or wounded in less than ten minutes. The dwindling crew had greatly reduced the morale of the Argo, but the Golden Fleece was already within reach, and if they chose to abandon it at this moment, the crew of the Argo would undoubtedly become a laughing stock, and the gods would not let go of the Argo crew who had abandoned their mission and fled.

"Don't panic, we are strong men who have come out of the great sage Karon's sect, how can we be afraid of death and failure. The gods never protect the weak, and now is the time to show our courage in defiance of death and our pursuit of glorious martial arts. O warrior of Olympus, take the glory that is close at hand under the light bestowed by the moon god! ”

As the initiator of the Argo's journey, Iason's military strength was only at the middle level of the crew, and his political strength was not comparable to that of the nobles and kings who lived from it for many years, but in the mythology of Olympus, Iason, who would be at the end of his family entanglement in the future, was a warrior with a strong leadership temperament at this time. It is not too much to describe Iason, who leads the many demigods of Olympus, just by shouting to the crew at the bow, the remaining crew members of the Argo emerged from their sadness and fear and returned to their respective posts to continue to provide impetus for the Argo.

"The Argo was a bit surprisingly strong, and the Kraken's tentacles were converted to ordinary wooden vessels, and they would have been reduced to shredded scrap the first moment they were entangled. The captain of the Argo is also a masterpiece of the world, and he still made a more correct command in the face of the double dilemma of serious crew reduction and damage to the ship. If it was only attacked by the Kraken, perhaps the crew of the Argo would still have a good chance of taking the Golden Fleece from the Kingdom of Colchis. ”

Observing the light screen directing everyone to repair the Argo and driving it to the kingdom of Colchis, Xunxin threw a spear of shining blue light up and down with his left hand, and stepped on the human head in the center of the shield with his right foot as a stone slab. However, a closer look at the tip of the spear reveals that Athena's vaunted spear blade was visibly flawed, or that it would only be a crack caused by striking a substance far beyond its strength.

"You! Poisoning the gods is a crime in the Olympian god system that will be tortured by Hades' soul for eternity, you are just an alien human, why should you help Hecate, who is about to be brought under our control? By working with me, you will be rewarded ten times more than what Hekat promised, and if you wish, I can convince the gods to give you a golden apple of eternal life, even if it is a golden apple that gives mortals a long life. ”

Probably understanding from Xunxin's face that there was no change in his face that the current reward was not enough to impress the other party, Athena hurriedly added a reward that made Shenqi's face slightly strange.

"No, not just to give you eternal life, I can also convince the gods to include you in the Olympian lineage and become a member of the Olympian gods! Compared to the gods you served in the past, and what the poor and vulgar gods over there can give you, I'm afraid it's nowhere near the glory of being one of the gods, right? ”

If it was really the human leader of an alien fleet who was in the position of searching for the heart at this time, the conditions given by Athena, the main god of the Olympus god system, would indeed make him hesitate and even turn against Shen Qi. However, Athena's reward is equivalent to nothing for Seeking Mind, in exchange for a boring gaze and a look of disdain.
