The Little God Who Sells the Protagonist

Chapter 1089 Sisyphus-style resistance
All the hard work was in vain in the end, Wang Yichen's anger at this moment could almost boil the river of pain!The fluctuation of divine power around him also erupted again at this moment, turning into a soaring flame, which could almost poke a hole out of the sky of this underworld level!

However, this kind of anger is useless, and the river of pain is not affected by Wang Yichen's powerful divine power at all.Under the protection of the rules of the underworld, Wang Yichen's monstrous anger is just a breeze to the river of pain.

The river of pain is still rushing and rolling according to its own rhythm, and its other side still exists in the dark depths that are out of reach, without any change.

"I'm fucked, I don't believe it anymore!" Wang Yichen also got angry, gritted his teeth, let out a low, beast-like howl from his throat, and stretched his hand into the river of pain again with red eyes In the middle, row forward desperately.

This time, Wang Yichen persisted for more than 20 minutes, and his rowing speed was extremely amazing. In more than 20 minutes, he had already rowed dozens of miles!In the case where divine power cannot work, relying only on your hands, you can achieve such results in a rapid river like the River of Pain, which is already quite impressive.

However, just when Wang Yichen's boat of the Styx was able to row to the center of the river, a particularly fierce torrent hit, and immediately beat the boat of the Styx, which was loaded with living people, almost without a hitch. flipped!Wang Yichen made adjustments in a hurry, and barely survived the crisis.

But while he was adjusting, the rushing river water had already rushed the Styx boat to the edge of a whirlpool.Wang Yichen was suddenly in a hurry again...

After experiencing several successive crises, whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, Wang Yichen's boat of the Styx was washed back to the shore again by the river, and Wang Yichen's efforts were in vain.

There is a saying on the Internet, what is more disgusting than eating an apple and getting a bug?That is to eat the second worm.To apply this sentence, what is more painful than extreme pain?That is to give you another extreme pain.

Falling short in extreme pain twice in a row is enough to break most people's minds.Especially for the second time, Wang Yichen was defeated by a series of accidents and coincidences even though he gritted his teeth and endured the pain without giving up. This seemed too much like a conspiracy.

It's easy to think, maybe it's Hades, maybe it's BOSS, in short, there is a powerful external force that deliberately prevents people from completing this level. After all, in the river of pain where energy and cards are completely restricted, it is necessary to play tricks For gamers who break through the level, this is really too easy.

Most people would give up when they encounter this kind of situation, and even the excuses are ready - it's not that I'm not good enough, but those big guys are too cunning and dark, and they deliberately played tricks on me to prevent me from passing the level. I, Xiaodiao, can only reprimand me. What else can I do?I'm not stupid, do I have to be played like a dog again and again?
This kind of excuse is so powerful that it is enough for ordinary people to leave the game with the pride of the wise and the brave, and can justifiably laugh at the players who are still there as stupid X.

But Wang Yichen is such a fool!Because what ordinary people see is only the appearance of conspiracy, but what he sees is the essence of the rules.

Wang Yichen challenged the River of Pain for the third time.This time, he persisted for more than half an hour, rowed nearly a hundred miles, and was finally blown back to the shore by a sudden violent black wind.

After a short rest, Wang Yichen launched an attack for the fourth time.This time he persisted for more than an hour, rowed hundreds of miles, and almost saw the other side of the river of pain!But at the last moment, a large group of undead suddenly emerged from the other side of the River of Pain, and jumped into the river frantically to attack Wang Yichen.

Without relying on divine power and cards, Wang Yichen managed to eliminate this group of undead with great difficulty.But his boat of the Styx was pushed back to its original place again.

At this time, Wang Yichen was completely inhuman.His expression can no longer be described with words such as hideous and ugly, because these words are not strong enough at all.His facial features at this time have been distorted into an abstract painting by Picasso, which looks completely unhuman.

The sweat on his body could no longer be described with words like "sweating profusely" or "profusely sweating", because it was also not strong enough.

The huge, almost extreme pain made Wang Yichen's sweat almost run out.If you look carefully, you can see that bloodshot and transparent gas are continuously escaping from the pores all over his body.

This was because the blood and divine power in Wang Yichen's body were constantly draining, but he had not actually suffered any substantial damage. The purely illusory mental pain had caused his body to have a real physical reaction, and even Not even divine power can suppress this reaction.

It is conceivable how much pain Wang Yichen has suffered during these several challenges!And the pain seemed to never end.

In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus angered Zeus because he helped humans, and Zeus tied him tightly to the rocks of the Caucasus Mountains with chains that he could never break free. This made Prometheus never sleep, tired His knees can never be bent, and he has endured the wind and sun for many years.

At the same time, there is also a hungry eagle that comes to peck Prometheus' liver every day, and Prometheus' liver will be regenerated infinitely, forcing him to endure endless pain.

This is one of the most inhuman punishments recorded in Greek mythology.

But now Wang Yichen feels that he has really fully felt the desperate pain of this ancient Greek god. It is said that I am good at punishment. Now it seems that the ancient Greeks are not far behind in this respect!

At this time, Wang Yichen suddenly thought of Prometheus, not because he felt sad because he was hypocritical, but because he was thinking about some internal logic in Greek mythology.After all, Hades' underworld is also an integral part of Greek mythology, and if there are any rules, it must follow the internal logic of the Greek mythology system.

The Greeks seem to have a fondness for creating tragic characters or gods who "can never escape their fate."For example, Prometheus who was tortured repeatedly, Sisyphus who repeatedly pushed a boulder that could never reach his destination, and so on.

The conflict between man and fate is a trick the Greeks prefer to play. In their view, this kind of "endless failure and torture in the fight against fate" is the real test of a person and the greatest challenge. suffering.

Forever is the real pain.

Therefore, it is very likely that the ferry on this river of pain will never reach the other side.If Wang Yichen is just reckless, then he may become a tragic figure like Sisyphus, rowing a boat that can never reach the other side in pain year after year.

So the fateful tragic characters in Greek mythology can never get rid of their fate?Of course not, there are two ways for a fateful character to get rid of the pain of fate, one is active and the other is passive.

Passive like Prometheus, he was finally rescued by the most famous Greek hero Heracles, ending his own suffering.

Active as Sisyphus.The way he fights against fate is to sublimate himself spiritually, thinking that what he does and the pain he suffers are not meaningless.

Because his actions are against fate, which is the greatest meaning in itself.

Sisyphus believed that he surrendered to the gods and removed stones, that is, he truly gave up the mastery of his own destiny and succumbed to the power.As long as he is still pushing this stone, he is still the one who fights against fate.So he considered himself happy, because the gods could not prevent him from being the master of his own destiny.

A line from the myth of Sisyphus exemplifies this spirit: "The struggle to climb to the top of the mountain is enough in itself to fill a man's heart."

The real salvation is not to win after fighting, but to find the strength of life and peace of mind in the midst of suffering.

Sisyphus looked at failure with contempt, because "without contempt no destiny can be conquered".

These are the two ways of salvation that people can find in the inner logic of Greek mythology when they conflict with fate.

Wang Yichen no longer had to think about the former method.Because Prometheus and Hercules are actually characters in the system of Greek gods, the contradiction between Prometheus and Zeus is, to put it bluntly, a contradiction among the people.So after Prometheus has had enough punishment, of course there is hope to wait for others to save him, and he finally reconciled with Zeus.

There is no doubt that Wang Yichen is not a figure in the Greek mythology system, and he was not polite to make a move. He knocked down Calon without saying a word, so it is definitely unrealistic to expect to solve the problem within the system.

But Sisyphus is different. Sisyphus was a mortal, but he dared to fight against the gods, and even once kidnapped the god of the underworld, so that there would be no death in the world!Like Wang Yichen, he is an outlier in the eyes of the Greek gods.

Therefore, Sisyphus's method of getting rid of fate is what Wang Yichen can adopt.

Of course, what Wang Yichen wants is not just a philosophical victory.He doesn't want to be a tragic figure who spends his days foolishly rowing boats and experiencing pain repeatedly, even if he is spiritually better, he doesn't want to be a philosopher.

He just hopes to find a way to pass the level from Sisyphus' experience.

The essence of the Sisyphus spirit is actually not to succumb to fate and power.To put it more simply, it is the spirit of resistance to power.

It's just that Sisyphus's resistance is not the kind of class struggle resistance.His defiance is typical of the Greek philosophers, wise, unyielding, and even has a rather sarcastic sense of humor.

After thinking about it like this, Wang Yichen really admired these ancient Greek guys. Although the plane of Greek mythology is also the YY plane of ancient people, their skills are indeed relatively high, at least compared to the "don't bully young people who are poor" style. The YY is much higher.

After pondering this, Wang Yichen has roughly cleared his mind - whether he can substitute Sisyphus's personality is the key to whether he can pass the level this time.

At the beginning, Mo Yan passed on to Wang Yichen the plane rule skill of personality transformation. This kind of skill that affects his own personality can also play a role in the river of pain.

Of course, personality transformation does not happen out of thin air. If Wang Yichen does not understand what Sisyphus's personality is, he cannot carry out the transformation.

But at this moment, Wang Yichen has fully experienced the pain of Sisyphus through repeated rowing, and has also grasped the essence of Sisyphus's spirit through the analysis of Sisyphus's spirit. The personality transformation skill can be used, but the effect is still unknown. number.

Even if the personality of Sisyphus is successfully substituted, it does not mean that he will be able to get rid of the fate of the river of pain. After all, Sisyphus himself did not actually get rid of his fate, did he?
But compared to Sisyphus, Wang Yichen's biggest advantage is that he also possesses powerful divine power, unlike Sisyphus who is just a mortal.Therefore, Wang Yichen felt that he should do better than Sisyphus, and he was confident of getting rid of the fateful power of the River of Pain.

Always try to know the result!

Gritting his teeth, Wang Yichen inserted his trembling hands into the river of pain again.

The boat of the Styx began to move forward slowly, and the severe pain entangled Wang Yichen again.But this time, Wang Yichen just snorted nonchalantly, and continued on his way.

The river roars, and the boats of the Styx ride through the waves like a dragon riding the wind.

In a place invisible to the naked eye, powerful energy fluctuations center on the Styx boat, like a vortex, like a chain, firmly absorbing and locking the Styx boat, exerting its powerful and irreversible effect .

But what is different from before is that this time, on the Styx boat, there is an extremely strong spiritual force like a dragon piercing through the sky.

"Survival itself is the most powerful resistance to the absurd!"

"The struggle to get to the top is enough to feed a man's soul!"

"Stay awake until you die!"

High-pitched and clear shouts gushed out of Wang Yichen's mouth one after another. These sentences used to be Sisyphus's cry to fate, but now they are shouted from Wang Yichen's mouth, and they are even more powerful.Every cry is like thunder and lightning hitting the sky, tearing through the endless darkness and bringing destruction and vitality.

At this time, Wang Yichen's whole body exuded divine power like a scorching sun, even the roar of the river of pain seemed to disappear amidst Wang Yichen's shouts.

In the sky, there was an old sigh.

"Sinful mortal, do you really want to fight against the gods to the end? Are you really trying to change the rules in this underworld? What makes you so overconfident and daring?"
