Chapter 742: Chapter 144 Epic Daddy Competition_2 Chapter 742: Chapter 144 Epic Daddy Competition_2 He had a fierce fight with Hector, and they were evenly matched. The battle lasted until nightfall without a clear victor. In the end, it was with his family’s seven-layer, bullhide Bronze Divine Shield that Ajax blocked Hector’s renowned Spear.
However, Ajax eventually conceded, with the reasoning that “Hector has been through several rounds of challenges and his techniques have all been seen through. I was prepared in advance, otherwise Hector’s Spear would have surely pierced through the last layer of my ancestral Divine Shield.”
Hector also took a step back, saying he respected Ajax’s combat skills and that the duel should end in a draw, even offering gifts proactively.
—He gave Ajax a dagger adorned with silver from his own belt.
Ajax did not take advantage of the situation and reciprocated with a luxurious purple belt for Hector.
Thus, the confrontation between the two ended in an odd harmony, and the heroes of the watching Alliance gradually changed their impressions of Hector.
A counterpart so noble in character and formidable in strength deserved admiration.
...
By extension, their views on the city of Troy and the catalyst of the Trojan War experienced so subtle shifts in sentint.
A city-state that could raise such an outstanding hero must have its rits and not be an unreasonable land of barbarism.
So, was it truly worth it for all the Greek city-states to pay for Agamnon’s inconvenient issue with his runaway wife and to stubbornly take down Troy, this stronghold?
At that mont, Luo En, who had witnessed the entirety of Ajax and Hector’s friendly match, glanced back at Telamon, who was hidden among the Divine Blood Guard, and spoke softly,
“I rember your wife is a Trojan princess, the beloved sister of the old king in the city, right?”
Telamon gave a simple smile, his gaze flickering.
Seeing this, Luo En imdiately understood why the fight between Hector and Ajax was so full of harmonious sportsmanship and the noble martial ethics of pulling punches.
It turned out they were first cousins…
After all, they were part of the sa family, there was no need to burn bridges, especially since it was Agamnon’s wife who was taken, not theirs. A polite nod would suffice for future encounters.
Tsk, tsk, this sly fox managed to survive under the frenzy of Hercules; it seems he most likely understood that he wasn’t seriously set on attacking Troy, hence the subtle hint to Ajax to take it easy.
Nevertheless, it was now mostly confird that there was nothing abnormal about Hector, his aura bore no connection to that power within the city of Troy; the issue likely didn’t lie with him.
Therefore, it was ti to try soone else.
Luo En pondered for a mont, his gaze slipping past the Troy city, which faintly radiated a majestic air, then he signaled to the fifth Divine Blood Hero who drew the lot to take the stage next.
—No more playing, eliminate Hector.
—Three moves!
Diana shook her three fingers, crushing the bamboo tube with the draw slips and proudly stepped onto the battlefield.
She was the fifth Divine Blood Hero to take the stage, and would also be the last!
Because she was bound to end Hector’s winning streak, kill the competition, and reclaim glory for Greece!
Luo En watched his daughter’s performance and muttered to himself.
Seriously, this girl’s flamboyant personality doesn’t resemble or Thetis at all. She’s more like Athena, could there have been a mix-up?
As a certain father mulled over these thoughts, the two main heroes of the Trojan Epic began their fateful confrontation.
From the start of the fight, Diana, determined to regain ground for her side, went full force like a cannonball charging at her opponent.
The intense shockwave approached, causing Hector’s eardrums to ache as he instinctively raised his Shield.
“Clang!”
Almost simultaneously with Hector’s reaction, a swift Dagger struck the surface of the Shield, and a mountainous and tidal Divine Power surged forth, shattering the intricately Hers-inscribed, finely crafted armor at once.
Hector’s face paled as he narrowly dodged the sharp edge of the blade. His long Spear thrust out diagonally in response.
However, Diana had already raised a Round Shield in front of her, easily defusing the attack.
Instead, because of his evasion, Hector’s chariot bore the brunt of the damage. The entire Bronze structure fragnted, and the two robust warhorses were pulverized into a mash under the sweeping blade’s fierce wind.

Hiss~~
Seeing the pitiful state of his beloved horse, Hector gasped sharply, and in the instant, he took advantage of the mont to retreat, arching his body backward. His spear burst into blazing golden flas, almost as bright and bold as the sun in the sky.
“Great God Zeus, grant divine wisdom, divine majesty!”
Hector called out to the source of his bloodline, channeling all his divine power into it and, with arms stretched to the extre, hurled it forward.
The burning Extre Spear, like a bolt of thunder streaking across the sky, sped with an unstoppable force towards the opponent he deeply feared.
Diana, catching a glimpse of a figure behind her with the corner of her eyes as the spear that seed to turn into lightning rushed towards her, whispered under her breath.
“Father, you are my rock, my high tower, you are my sword and shield! Rise up and scatter my enemies!”
Accompanied by the tracing back of her divinity, a golden round disk like a dial manifested behind Diana.
Six divine blessings were embedded within it, shining together like stars.
At the sa ti, Diana raised her arms, and her gilded Divine Power Bracelets clashed fiercely in front of her. The shrill clanging sound instantly whipped up a frigid tide of magic power swirling with restless Aether Factors.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
The spear that had been hurled at Diana shattered inch by inch as it ca within three ters of her.
Then, the unyielding shockwave, like an invisible battering ram, slamd heavily into Hector’s chest.
“Boom!”
Troy’s Guardian, who had defeated four heroes of the Alliance, was catapulted into the city wall behind him as if shot from a cannon, making the magic defense techniques of Troy City glimr and shudder, on the verge of breaking.
As the spreading dust cleared, Hector, embedded in the wall like a relief sculpture with his breastplate shattered, hung his head motionless, evidently having been knocked unconscious.
With that, this unique “compare the greatness of our fathers” contest ca to an end, with Diana claiming a complete victory.
Luo En, watching the gradually fading six divine blessings behind his daughter, muttered to himself.
“Athena, Hera, Hestia, Artemis, Aphrodite, Deter… My goodness, all six goddesses of the Olympian Twelve Gods have given you their protection. What is this? So kind of spokeswoman for female power, in a sense?
But no matter how you put it, that group of goddesses on Mount Olympus really do show an extraordinary fondness for you.
Back then, I almost lost my life just trying to scrape together a bit of divinity.
And now, you have it from birth.
What a ridiculously generous start, even I, your father, can’t help but feel envious.”
Luo En grumbled inwardly, then pushed aside the jealousy he felt for his daughter and shot a knowing look at the triumphant Diana.
Diana nodded her head and stepped towards Hector, who lay unconscious amongst the gravel.
Just as she reached out to seize Hector, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Diana caught a glimpse of a dangerous glint in her eyes and instantly leaped backward a hundred ters.
And at the mont she swiftly retreated, a javelin penetrated the spot where Diana had just stood, blasting a huge pit tens of ters wide in the surrounding area.
At the sa ti, the gates of Troy flew open, and a handso young man, draped in leopard skin, with bow and arrow on his back, a drawn sword on his waist, holding two javelins, led a squad of Troy soldiers outside the city and rescued Hector back to the chariot.
Watching those eyes covered in silver lightning, Luo En, hidden among the Sparta Divine Blood Guard, sneered coldly.
You’ve finally couldn’t resist interfering, Zeus!
It seems the pawn you planted in the mortal world is not in Mycenae, but in Troy.
Then, I will uproot it first and see how you intend to have the heroes of the mortal world slaughter each other in the battle of Troy.
Luo En squinted his eyes aningfully as he regarded the anxious priestess who hurried to et Hector on the city wall.
