Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 437 - 56: Hegel! Women Make You Weak!

Duncan’s engraved ability has not fully come into effect yet, but as long as a little bit takes effect, it marks the beginning of a qualitative change, while Hegel played too much yesterday.

He’s also weak in the legs!

In Hegel’s incredulous gaze, Duncan directly faced his charge, taking half a step back, then swung his battle axe in a powerful heavy chop. Hegel hastily blocked, a mighty force numbing his arm slightly. Before he could regroup for a fierce attack, Duncan kicked his knee.

Instantly, this warrior, who bears a legendary name among the Barbarian Race, stumbled and fell to one knee, the blade of the battle axe directly resting on his neck, even cutting the skin and drawing a trace of blood.

In the distance.

As Duncan swung his battle axe down in a heavy chop, the emblem within the Shen Kan trembled slightly, seemingly ready to descend with Divine Grace and Power, prepared to face Hegel in berserk mode, should Duncan show a hint of killing intent.

But Duncan did not strike the killing blow; he withdrew his battle axe and gazed emotionlessly at the kneeling Hegel.

The surroundings were in an uproar!

Not only the Barbarian warriors around showed shocked expressions, but even the women who were reveling last night stared in disbelief, and some gazes on Duncan showed a hint of regret and pity.

In the distance, the mature and alluring Priestess’ gaze narrowed, looking at Duncan in astonishment.

"Why is it different from the Oracle?"

"Isn’t Hegel supposed to be an invincible warrior?" The Priestess’ heart was in turmoil.

She worships the Daughter of the River, a branch of the Oceanic Divine Spirit.

The descendant of the Oceanid told her that after serving Hegel, she would give birth to a strong child, who would be the King of Dibite.

Buzz.

Almost like trembling, Hegel’s Divine Son mark appeared as if dust-covered, showing a very tiny crack. To be defeated by a human in a competition as a child of the Divine Spirit, and with such carelessness, was utterly shameful.

The will within the Shen Kan seemed furious, extremely displeased with Hegel!

The God of Strength - Kod is a true warrior. Though His reputation isn’t good, being a hedonist who enjoys playing with beautiful humans, elves, and even giant women, without a doubt, He is one of the greatest warriors in this world.

In the Barbaric Era, women were also considered spoils of war, with tribal disputes often leading them to be carried away when unconscious, and the legends of the God of Strength include many tales of forcibly taking women and fathering heroic offspring, influenced by the era.

This was considered honorable at the time, not a moral issue.

Thus, no matter how many women Hegel forcibly took or how recklessly violent he was, it wouldn’t affect the Divine Grace upon him.

Only some critical factors could impact the God of Strength’s Divine Grace on him.

Such as a warrior’s basic strength, courage, fighting spirit, etc.

Careless arrogance.

This is something the God of Strength - Kod cannot tolerate.

Undoubtedly, Hegel’s overall strength surpasses Duncan’s human form, but Duncan relied on clever tactics, being the King of Kings forged in battlefield, with top-notch combat experience.

Hegel, after a night of revelry, was defeated in a state of fatigue due to slight recklessness.

Under normal circumstances.

This gladiatorial match dedicated to the God of Strength had already concluded, for the victor was clearly Duncan.

But the will within the Shen Kan did not depart, with the emblem still radiating Spiritual Light.

Hegel’s face was full of shame, and unwilling fury. He sprang up, repelling Duncan, then retreated a few steps, regrouped, and roared, "Again!"

This battle was too humiliating.

The human form had challenged him many times before but was always easily suppressed by Hegel’s innate strength, beaten effortlessly to the ground.

To lose to an opponent he had defeated many times before was something Hegel could not accept!

At this moment, his reckless rage ignored any rituals for the Divine, only wanting to defeat Duncan and wash away the shame, reclaiming his honor through victory.

It breaks the ritual rules, yet the God of Strength permitted it all.

This gladiatorial match wasn’t over, for the Spiritual Light within the shrine remained, still watching.

The Divine Spirit hoped Hegel would grow from setbacks; undoubtedly, the current events were something They were happy to see.

Duncan remained silent, tossed aside the shield, gesturing to Crete, and said in a stern voice, "Give me the spear."

The enemy’s innate Divine Power shield couldn’t be blocked.

He’d just had half of his arm numbed.

Crete, also shocked, instinctively obeyed, tossing the spear over. The Barbarian warriors revered the strong; after this gladiatorial match, Duncan’s status was transformed.

Regardless of arrogance or recklessness, Hegel’s condition was indeed poor now.

Roar!

He let out a roar, charging once more, as sparks flew at the moment of impact. Duncan parried the heavy strike with his axe, then swept horizontally with the spear, exploiting the length advantage to target Hegel’s lower body. With a thud, he hit Hegel, making his silhouette unstable, and his steps stagger once more.

Facing Hegel’s relentless assault, Duncan rolled and dodged, moving lightly like a monkey, a roll and spring up akin to a Legendary Gladiator, thrusting the spear into the enemy’s thigh.

Poof.

A splash of blood appeared!

At this moment, even the shrine seemed to tremble slightly, as Hegel’s reaction speed clearly couldn’t keep up. His duel with Duncan resembled the clash between the Demon Mountain and the Red Viper in the Song of Ice and Fire, except Duncan would not act carelessly, he wouldn’t take Hegel’s life, but today he also wouldn’t let him win.

Dimension Space, within the projection page.

The dying wish of the human form is being activated, as if weakening the aura on Hegel, causing his mark as a Divine Son to tarnish little by little. In contrast, a hint of inconspicuous golden light appeared on Duncan’s human form.

——Quinn Minsk (No. 3 Human Form) (Legendary Condensation) (Three-star Gold)!

There are many ways to replace Hegel.

The first is to continuously defeat him like Duncan, break his invincible golden body, then gradually shatter his will, ultimately knocking him off the altar of myth and legend.

The second is to steal Hegel’s legends, taking all the legendary challenges arranged by the gods for him, various powerful monsters, and killing them first so Hegel has nothing to do. But yesterday’s Nine-headed Hydra Lizard already told Duncan that those challenges are all legendary difficulty, and the human form may not be able to win.

Hegel can fight because he has cheats on him, erupting unexpectedly.

Moreover, there are many variables involved, such as divine attention, power struggles, and various dangers of the Barbaric Era. Duncan now needs to proceed steadily. A three-star marked Barbarian Race warrior is roughly equivalent to an occupational level between 11-15, considered elite among mortals, but in the Mythical Era, it’s barely worth watching, still prone to sudden violent death.

Boom!

The increasingly furious Hegel, ignoring his injuries, leaped forward. He used a shield strike to knock Duncan’s battle axe away; once the distance closed, the spear was no longer useful, and the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat instantly. In the wild collision of fists hitting flesh, Duncan suddenly exerted strength and threw Hegel over his shoulder onto the ground, followed by a heavy blow with a fist the size of a cooking pot to his jaw.

A tooth flew out!

The handsome and strong Hegel suddenly had a bruised nose and swollen face, his entire face bloated. Duncan continued punching, fast as a mirage, forcefully burying Hegel’s head into the soil.

When he gasped for breath and climbed up, his body was also covered with scars, with blood seeping through the bandage on his abdomen, half his face swollen.

But Hegel had already been knocked out!

At this moment, Duncan’s figure shook, and Crete immediately supported him, while other Barbarian Race warriors helped the unconscious Hegel. His physique was indeed astonishing; he was only briefly unconscious and quickly woke up, though his entire face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"Again... again..." The embers of fighting spirit burned in Hegel’s eyes.

But this time Duncan shook his head and said slowly, "Women make your legs weak, women make you feeble, women make your will no longer as strong as iron!"

"Defeating someone like you brings me no honor!"

As the words fell.

In the distance, within Shen Kan, an invisible spiritual light trembled, as if a hint of divine attention fell upon him.

The surrounding Barbarian Race warriors were surprised, and Crete turned his head in shock.

This was a massive boast.

It could even be considered a stark humiliation to Hegel!

Though Hegel, in his anger, also found excuses for his failure, a psychological comfort. Though unwilling to admit it, he believed women affected his performance. If it weren’t for pushing over a dozen women last night, he would definitely be more energetic today.

Saying it was without honor, in truth, defeating Hegel so forthrightly in the combat arena had already changed the perception of Duncan among other Barbarian Race warriors.

Soon rumors about him would emerge.

Like the myth of Heracles, as long as someone defeated him once head-on, they would be significant in the legends.

——"Hegel’s Challenge (Fate Trial): Your head-on defeat of Hegel caught the Furious Gods’ attention, and he finally paid a heavy price for his arrogant carelessness. Before this humiliation is thoroughly washed away, Divine Son Hegel will continuously challenge you."

——"Great Snow Mountain Divine Maiden’s Attention: Hegel once raped the priestess of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Maiden. The defeat of Hegel made this Divine Maiden extremely delighted!"

(Should you once again defeat Hegel with humiliation, the Great Snow Mountain Divine Maiden might bestow Divine Grace.)

(She is a powerful demigod born from the concept of calamity, belonging to the Fury Pantheon. Legend has it that when she is displeased, terrifying avalanches occur on the Holy Mountain. She favors warriors able to please her and never hesitates to grant Divine Grace.)

(The gods of the Fury Pantheon are mostly whimsical and volatile.)

A brutal beating!

Duncan’s human form condensed a strand of golden mark. He could fail countless times, but whenever Hegel failed once, people would question him.

After all, Hegel’s starting point was too high!

With the support of other Barbarian Race warriors, Hegel limped away.

And when Duncan prepared to rest, he found the surrounding women stared at him with such intensity, even the daughter of King Dibite, a woman who served Hegel last night, wished to care for his injuries.

No thanks!

Duncan’s standards were high, these women didn’t catch his eye.

Besides, they were dirty.

In this era, one shouldn’t expect fragrant, soft beauties; even the princesses of King Dibite were roughly equivalent to the daughters of a small Germanic tribe’s chieftain, needing to work usually.

At this moment, Crete also showed a hint of shame, supporting Duncan to sit down, saying gravely, "You’re right."

"Indulgence in beauty indeed makes us weak!"

He practiced what he preached, only sleeping with three women tonight.

With the physique of the Barbarian Race, sleeping with three women doesn’t count as indulgence.

For the Usga Barbarians, only three things matter: battle, glory, and women.

Battle is survival, women are for procreation, and glory is a legacy, an immortal legend.

These are truly wild and belligerent people.
