Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

"No……"

Yang Qi shook his head. The power of the eye he controlled now was still very weak. Just after looking at it from the perspective of Optimus Prime for a while, he felt dizzy and spit out dragon blood.

"If you want to steal Optimus Prime's training techniques, you also need to enhance the power of my eyes."

"I need to clear that dungeon and get a lot of eye power before it becomes possible."

In an instant, Yang Qi was full of desire to pass through the copy of the Thousand-Eyed Monster in the simulated world.

"It's a pity... If I want to simulate it now, the waiting time is too long."

"There is not enough time, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

Yang Qi estimated in his mind that after subtracting the time to go back, the duel with Zagreos was less than a week away.

"What can we do?" Yang Qi flapped his wings and flew around Optimus Prime. "With the power of flames, you can melt it and devour it. But the efficiency is too low..."

"What other powers can I use?..."

Suddenly, Yang Qi stopped and asked, "The power of dreams?"

"Turn Optimus Prime into a dream? Then I'll eat the dream?"

Yang Qi mobilized the magical power of dreams and concentrated it on his teeth. His teeth shone with the brilliance of dreams, hazy.

Yang Qi bit it gently, and his eyes suddenly opened slightly.

"no."

"This seems to be a solution...I can feel Optimus Prime softening."

"But my divine power of dreams is still too small and difficult to shake in front of Optimus Prime."

"If you don't turn Optimus Prime into a dream..."

Yang Qi suddenly felt something in his heart, "Then let me enter the dreamland by myself?!"

"In your dreams, you can do things that you can't usually do."

"Like hypnosis."

"Give it a try!"

Yang Qi once again mobilized the power of dreams and poured it into his mind. Suddenly, the surrounding fog rose, everything transpired, and the Optimus Pillar was shrouded in a confused brilliance.

Yang Qi looked at the huge Optimus Prime in front of him and muttered in his heart, "You are not an Optimus Prime made of a quarter of the metal in the God Realm and enhanced by the power of the God King... but a bundle of flesh and blood. column."

Boom...

In an instant, Optimus Prime changed. All the metallic luster on its surface faded away and turned into flesh and blood, with countless blood vessels beating in it.

Yang Qi opened his mouth and took a gentle bite. The wonderful taste of fresh flesh and blood suddenly bloomed in his mouth.

"I'm eating Optimus Prime in my dream now."

"In reality, did I take a bite of air, or did I really take a bite of Optimus Prime?"

"No, that's not right."

Yang Qi suddenly shook his head.

"I know I'm in a dream, so it's not essentially a dream."

"I can't even deceive myself, how can I deceive Optimus Prime?"

"I understand……"

Suddenly, Yang Qi nodded. He vaguely understood how to eat this Optimus Pillar!

boom!

Yang Qi mobilized all the power of dreams in his body, flapped his wings and took off!

Under the sky, the giant dragon hovered, its flowing scales shining with colorful lights in the dark night sky of the underworld.

Buzz... The surrounding space was trembling strangely, and seven thousand different colors of divine power threads emerged from the dragon's body. Those divine power threads tumbled in the air, forming a huge dream door.

"..."

The dragon stepped forward, stretched out his claws, and gently touched the dream door.

The huge dream door opened wide, and behind the door was a brilliant universe with seven thousand light groups.

Within each group of light is a world.

Some worlds are filled with fairies and goblins, some are filled with fire and smoke, and some are silent, with only a river flowing on the dark earth.

The giant dragon steps through the door and plays in the boundless dream universe. There are seven thousand dream worlds, and each dream can regenerate thousands of branches.

The giant dragon shook its wings gently, and it pulled the two worlds together. Then it blinked its eyes, and the dream world was destroyed. Countless dream fragments burst out in the universe, and then a new world was born from it.

The giant dragon kept traveling through the dream world, and he seemed to have spent endless time in it. Then, gradually, his eyes were no longer clear.

He could no longer tell which world was real and which world was a dream.

If you want to successfully deceive Optimus Prime, you must first successfully deceive yourself.

"..."

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the King!!!"

Thousands of people surrounded the streets, all living things were rejoicing, soldiers blew golden horns, and elegant ladies threw bright flowers.

Yang Qi was wearing a heavy helmet and riding on a tall horse. Behind him, there was a faint phantom of an angel, and a sacred light was shining above his head.

There are two swords on his waist. One sword was obtained by killing the frost giant in the frozen castle, and the other sword was forged by the black iron dwarves who lived in seclusion in the era in the boiling magma mountain.

Yang Qi turned his head sideways and looked at a mad warrior beside him. He was wearing rough armor, covered in blood, and had a ferocious face. He was holding a huge battle axe.

An elf archer, she is elegant and decent, but the faint aura of danger that surrounds her indicates that she is a dangerous hunter. She was born in the dark night, and wild beasts are her friends.

An old man with a white beard, wearing a black robe with stars flowing on it, holding a staff.

Yang Qi looked around with emotion. From a blacksmith's son in a poor village, he embarked on an adventurous journey for inexplicable reasons, met many friends, experienced many dangers and hardships, and finally became the most powerful man in the world. The knight has just slain the evil dragon.

He saw a kind-faced king raising his scepter on top of the towering castle. Beside him, there was a blonde princess.

He is about to marry the princess and inherit the throne of king.

"..."

Yang Qi stared at the blond princess, everything was so beautiful, it seemed unreal.

He looked sideways again, berserkers, elf archers, magicians.

"There is something strange...this world..."

"Everything seems too good to be true."

Yang Qi shook his head, "Forget it. I must be overthinking it."

"There is a beautiful princess waiting for me, and a kingdom waiting for me to inherit!"

"Ha ha!"

At this moment, Yang Qi heard the old voice of the magician. He raised his staff and pointed at the castle in the distance: "My respected knight, that will be your castle from now on."

"It's really unimaginable that we have gone through such a long time."

"Yes." Yang Qi nodded, and suddenly, something moved in his heart.

He saw that the old magician had no fingers.

The wand was suspended in the palm of his hand.

Yang Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, "What happened to your hand?"

"My hand?" The magician raised his hand, "Have you forgotten? We once found a ring in the dragon's palace."

"I got the ring, and it gave me great magic, but it cut off my finger."

"Yes..." Yang Qi nodded doubtfully, and this memory emerged in his heart.

"But... why is it so familiar?"

Gudong, Gudong.

Yang Qi saw that the barbarian took out the wine bottle from his waist, poured wine into his mouth, and chewed it from time to time.

Yang Qi asked: "What are you drinking?"

The barbarian said doubtfully: "Didn't I explain it to you? This is the wine of flesh and blood."

"Break fresh flesh and blood, and then drip wine into it."

"Yes..." Yang Qi nodded.

The barbarian had indeed always eaten like this. Although he didn't say anything, there was always some resistance deep down in his heart.

"Although I also like to eat fresh flesh and blood..."

"Do I like eating fresh flesh and blood?"

Yang Qi felt extremely confused and looked at the elf archer again.

Yang Qi found that she looked much older than he remembered, with wrinkles all over her face.

"On your face..."

The elf archer blinked, "Don't you know? The elves age much faster than humans, but we can be reborn from the Well of the Moon."

"We are constantly cycling through new life and old age."

"Is this what the elves are like?"

Yang Qi felt something was getting more and more wrong. He looked at the smiling king on the castle. There seemed to be endless malice behind his warm and sweet smile. The beautiful princess next to him seemed to be a man-eating demon.

"No! This is all wrong!!!"

Yang Qi stopped suddenly. He pulled the reins hard, and the tall horse raised its front hooves. He felt that his memory was very confused.

"I seem to be the son of a blacksmith. Throughout my long childhood, I have been around all kinds of metals."

"I swear to never forget that I am the son of a blacksmith. My mission is not to marry the princess and inherit the kingdom, but to do with metal and iron!"

Yang Qi's heart was beating loudly. He vaguely remembered this incident. He had vowed never to forget metal and iron, but why?

"Metal and iron, metal and iron, metal and iron..."

"vomit……!"

Wow——

Yang Qi spit out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with many pieces of internal organs. He panted and looked at the ground.

"What's the matter, Lord Knight?"

Everyone was obviously stunned by what they saw in front of them. No one dared to come up and just watched from a distance.

"Huh...huh..." Yang Qi gasped violently, a strong sense of nausea burst out of his brain, and then surged to his abdomen, and he opened his mouth to vomit again.

However, this time, what was vomited was not blood and internal organs, but flames!

Blue-black flames!

"flame!"

Yang Qi's heart was trembling. He looked at the weak flame. He was extremely familiar with this flame!

"right!"

Suddenly, Yang Qi seemed to understand something in an instant!

Strong joy bursts out from my heart!

"I'm not a knight at all!"

"I'm a lizard! I'm a little lizard!"

"I come from a forest full of huge ancient trees, where the sky and the earth are very close. The ancient trees penetrate deeply into the earth, and clear springs gush out!"

"There are blue-black flames all around!"

"I'm a lizard from that world!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Yang Qi smiled crazily, his mouth opened to an incredible extent, and then a lizard crawled out!

Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at the incredible scene in front of them, but it didn't matter how surprised they were.

Click! Click! Click!

There was the sound of breaking glass all around, and the world collapsed. The benevolent king, the beautiful princess, the magnificent castle, the past adventures and memories, everything was shattered.

In front of him is the extremely low sky. The huge World Tree is rooted in the soil, constantly shrinking and expanding, and a clear spring surges out from its roots.

Surrounded by a huge blue-black flame storm.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Yang Qi laughed wildly. He crawled on the dark ground with his limbs very fast, "I'm going to find a female lizard, and then lay a few eggs to raise a big nest of little lizards!"

"Then I'm going to climb that huge tree and build my lair on the top of the tree!"

"I want to fly up to that low sky and see what else is in the sky!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Yang Qi crawled quickly. He remembered that there was a beautiful female lizard waiting for him in the current nest.

"Lay eggs, lay eggs, and lay a lot of white eggs with her!"

Yang Qi quickly climbed into his nest, which was located in the hollow of a huge tree.

Suddenly, Yang Qi's pupils widened. He saw two huge female spiders in the nest. They spit out silk threads and tied the female lizard tightly there.

Both of the female lizard's legs were broken, dripping with blood, and her face was in great pain.

When she saw Yang Qi, she screamed: "Save me! Save me!"

Yang Qi roared angrily, jumped forward, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the female spider hard, dripping with blood, and instantly bit her belly open.

Another spider wanted to escape, but Yang Qi climbed up, swung its tail, and beat the spider into a blur of flesh and blood.

"Yang Qi..." The female lizard breathed faintly.

"Are you okay?" Yang Qi climbed forward and looked at the gentle and beautiful face of the female lizard, and his heart suddenly felt painful.

"Why did you have a conflict with those two spiders?"

"It's okay... I'll just take a rest." The female lizard closed her eyes.

"Also...I can't lay eggs with you anymore, I want to leave here..."

"Leave here?" Yang Qi's heart moved.

"Yes, get out of here." The female lizard said softly, "I want to find a way to grow my broken tail back."

"..." Yang Qi's heart moved, and he felt that something was very wrong.

He looked at the female lizard, and sure enough, one of her tails had been broken off.

"etc!"

Suddenly, thunder sounded in Yang Qi's heart. He saw that the female lizard's claws were bare, and the thick fingers and sharp nails were gone!

"What's wrong with you?"

Yang Qi's heart was pounding, and he raised the female lizard's paw with his paw, "What's wrong with your paw?"

"Huh?" the female lizard said softly, "I don't know, when did it happen?"

"Did you eat it?"

"Shall I eat?" Yang Qi felt a fire rising inexplicably in his heart, "How could I eat your claws?!"

"That doesn't matter anymore. I'm getting out of here."

The female lizard broke away from Yang Qi's arms and slowly crawled out of the cave.

"..."

Yang Qi stared at the back of the female lizard, feeling extremely frustrated in his heart.

"I also want to lay a lot of eggs with her..."

"If I can't lay eggs, what's the point of my life... The purpose of my life is to lay eggs..."

"etc."

Suddenly, Yang Qi blinked.

"Laying eggs? No..."

"I do want to lay a lot of eggs with her, but that is not my ultimate goal. What is my purpose... What is the meaning of my life?"

A lizard crawled back and forth in the dark tree hollow.

"It's not about laying eggs...but..."

He stopped.

"Metal and iron...this is my ultimate goal."

"My goal is metal and iron...what is that?"

Yang Qi climbed out of the cave and looked at the huge trees in the distance, the low sky, and the blue-black flames that broke out everywhere.

"There seems to be no metal or iron I'm looking for here..."

"Where is this?"

"Where am I going again?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Qi started to smile bitterly, and then turned into laughter.

"Hahahahaha! This is not the world I live in at all!"

"I just find it strange that the magician has no fingers and neither does the female lizard. How can it be such a coincidence!"

"This world is false!!"

Yang Qi roared in his heart, "I saw through it!"

"I want to look for metal and iron. My ultimate goal is metal and iron!!"

"I'm not a lizard at all!"

"I am light! I am starlight!"

"I am a star! I am a bright light!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yang Qi laughed wildly. He quickly moved his limbs and climbed towards the tallest tree in the distance.

He crawled along the rough trunk of the tree, and in an instant he was at the top of the tree, looking up at the low sky.

"I'm not a lizard! I'm Starlight!"

Yang Qi raised his feet fiercely and jumped towards the sky.

It's like walking through a cloud.

Click! Click! Click!

Yang Qi's body collapsed and turned into countless fragments. The world around him also collapsed. The blue-black flame storm was extinguished and the huge trees collapsed.

boom!

Yang Qi passed through the thick clouds and came to the sky, filled with stars, extremely bright.

"I turned out to be a star!"

Yang Qi completely lost his body and became a star.

But he can still see himself. His whole body was almost transparent, with the sound of gurgling water and seven thousand kinds of light shining out.

In the star core, there are countless green mists steaming, and strong winds are howling, constantly blowing the green mist.

Yang Qi saw that in the middle of the green mist was a blood-red eye.

"I am a transparent star! My star core is a blood-red eye!"

"My mission is to find metal and iron!"

"This is the real world, hahahaha!"

Yang Qi laughed wildly, and he pulled out the bright star track and flew into the distance.

"Metal and iron... metal and iron..."

He came to a planet made entirely of bronze and various colors.

"Metal and iron... metal and iron..."

"Breaking through the layers of confusion and passing through countless false worlds, I finally found the truth!"

"This is the place of my destiny! The most real existence among all realities!"

"Hahaha!"

boom!

Yang Qi, a huge star fell on this planet made of bronze and gems.

The whole planet was shaking.

"I want metal and iron...! Give it to me, I want metal and iron!!"

He kept spinning in place, getting faster and faster, like a drill drilling toward the core of the planet!

boom!

The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher. It seems like an eternity in an instant. Yang Qi has arrived at the core of the planet!

It was a huge pillar of flesh and blood.

"Pillar of Flesh?"

Yang Qi was confused, "The core of this planet, which is made entirely of metal, is actually flesh and blood?"

"Well... this universe is vast, with many mysterious and strange things. It's not surprising that a metal planet has a heart of flesh and blood."

Yang Qi approached carefully, his eyeballs protruded from the star core, and at some point, they turned into a mouth.

He opened his mouth and began to devour the pillar of flesh and blood.

…

In reality, Optimus Prime.

The huge fluid dragon stopped in front of Optimus Prime. His eyes were full of confusion, as if he was in another world.

He opened his bloody dragon's mouth and bit into Optimus Prime.

The rolling dream power surged out from the dragon's mouth, eroding Optimus Prime.

In an instant, the Optimus Prime in front of him turned into flesh and blood.

The dragon took a big bite.
