Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

"It's great...it's great to have a mother..."

"I still have to rely on this... I have to practice hard and fight. When can I get the imperial seal?"

"Not to mention the various dangers we face, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died halfway."

On the barren land of the underworld, a black cat flapped its wings and flew forward slowly, feeling very good. There was a blood-red key surrounding his head, it was Yang Qi.

Just now, after the Queen of the Underworld gave Yang Qiqian some instructions, she let him go and went to the treasure house of the underworld to get the resources needed for cultivation.

He also asked him to come back on time and have dinner together in the evening.

"Is the treasure house of the underworld here?" The key above his head suddenly stopped and flashed with divine light.

Yang Qi's wings also stopped flapping, and he looked at the dark mountains in the distance.

Buzz... The blood-red key began to tremble, emitting billowing divine power and striking into the distance.

Boom - Along with the divine power emanating from the key, the mountains in the distance began to tremble, and then began to move, approaching Yang Qi.

Yang Qi looked around, and the mountains were approaching, and he didn't know when he was surrounded. Finally, the mountains closed up, shutting him in, and the surroundings were tightly covered.

"Hundreds of dark mountains merge into one. Is this the treasure house of the underworld?"

It was dark all around, and then a faint light rose, and then the light became brighter. Four huge doors appeared in front of them, each door was about 10,000 meters wide. It was so huge and majestic that it was hard to describe.

Yang Qi saw different patterns drawn on the four doors.

"This is..." Yang Qi couldn't help but think of the huge painting in Hades' palace. In the painting, the Queen of Hades was sitting alone on the gorgeous stairs, with a dagger piercing her heart, dripping with blood.

The painting style on these four doors is also the same, extremely dark, as if they were painted with the deepest black and corrupt blood in the universe.

Above the first door, most of the Queen's body was buried in the soil, with only her head sticking out, unable to move. Her hair was messy, her face was full of blood, and she was surrounded by rocks. In the distance, a stone was flying towards her, aiming right at her eyes.

On the second door, the Queen of Hades was locked in a golden prison cart. Her hands and feet were bound by chains, and she could not move. Only her head was exposed. The prison cart was walking on the cold mountains, and the snow was almost Covered her shoulders.

Above the third door, the Queen of Hades sat in front of a gorgeous high table. On both sides of the table were corpses with distorted and decayed faces. There was a golden flagon and goblet in front of her. She stared at the square flagon.

Above the fourth door, the scene is extremely chaotic. There are thousands of dragons and flying snakes in the sky, and thousands of beasts on the ground, surrounding the Queen of Hades. The drawing of the Queen of Hades is very small, and I can only barely recognize her.

Just by looking at it, you can feel the strong smell of blood rising, and hear thousands of animal sounds in your ears.

"It's really strange. Whether it's the paintings in the Palace of Hades or the treasure trove of the underworld, they all depict scenes of the Queen of Hades suffering. What's the purpose?"

However, from the picture, Yang Qi could vaguely guess what was behind the gate.

When Yang Qi came to the first door, the door opened automatically, and then surging divine power burst out from it, shining brightly, as if it contained the entire galaxy.

Yang Qi mobilized his divine power to protect his eyes, and it took a long time to adapt.

When he stepped into it, it was like stepping into a dark universe with thousands of stars. There are dots of divine light all around, all of them are divine stones from the underworld, floating continuously.

He rolled up a random piece with his tail and placed it in front of him. There is a rolling sadness flowing from the sacred stone.

"The quality is so good...it is worthy of being a sacred stone stored in the treasure house of the underworld."

Yang Qi had previously obtained several pieces of underworld sacred stones, but the quality was completely incomparable to those here.

Yang Qi then rolled up another piece with his tail. A cry flowed from this piece of sacred stone, and its divine power was pure and rich.

Picking up another piece, this sacred stone is a burning fireball. If you look carefully, you will see flames flowing all over the sky, as if it is a universe of its own.

The sacred stone of the underworld comes from the five great rivers of Styx, and naturally has five different attributes. They are mourning, weeping, burning, forgetting, and the least common, "keep the oath."

The River of the Oath Keepers, also known as the River Styx, is where the temple of Styx is located. Creatures in the underworld often say "In the name of Styx" when they want to make a vow.

The proportion of divine stones with the power of "keeping oaths" is very small. Yang Qi searched for a moment, found a piece, and carefully felt the divine power in it.

"It's really strange..." After a moment, Yang Qi opened his eyes.

This kind of sacred stone cannot be used directly to fight, but it can make "appointments" with other living beings. Once settled, both parties must abide by the oaths they have made.

The first usage that Yang Qi thought of was to capture a certain beast and use the power of keeping an oath to make it loyal to him forever.

As for the other four divine stones, sorrow, crying, burning, and forgetfulness, they are all very helpful in improving strength.

Yang Qi grabbed a thousand of each of the four types of stones, then searched for a long time, found ten "oath-keeping" stones, and left with satisfaction.

"The power contained in these four thousand underworld sacred stones is enough for me to evolve next time and even advance in rank."

Yang Qi has stayed at the level of "demigod" for a long time, and the next step is to become a lower god.

Then Yang Qi came to the second door, and the door opened in response.

"What is depicted on this door is the scene of the Queen of the Underworld being imprisoned in a prison car. If my guess is correct, it should be..."

The divine light gradually subsided, and Yang Qi stepped into it, and sure enough.

In front of them were thousands of dead corpses, kneeling on the ground with their hands raised high, holding various artifacts in their hands.

The artifacts exude various divine powers, but strangely they do not collide with each other, otherwise most of the artifacts here will be damaged.

Yang Qi saw a staff at a glance and stepped forward.

The body of this staff is made of countless slender rat intestines, and it is still slowly moving. On the top of the staff are the corpses of dozens of Hades rats, which have long since dried up, and their tails are entangled together.

"The battle of rat intestines..." Yang Qi rolled up the staff with his tail and shook it slightly.

"It is most suitable to use divine spells to cast plagues or poisons. I am afraid it will also be helpful for the source of divine power of the gods themselves."

This staff was not suitable for Yang Qi, so Yang Qi put the staff back to its original place.

Then another artifact attracted Yang Qi's attention. He walked forward and saw a toad ornament.

"A toad with eggs..." The toad carries countless tiny eggs on its back. If you look carefully, it seems that they are about to hatch.

In an instant, Yang Qi saw all the eggs hatch, and countless toads were born from them, and they also carried countless egg sheaths on their backs. Such a cycle went on and on, Yang Qi's mind was immersed in it, and he almost forgot about time.

Boom... I don't know when, Yang Qi suddenly woke up from his dream, and his whole body was ignited with blue-black flames.

"Fortunately, I possess the divine power of Cronus and the king's divine power, which can see through falsehoods."

Yang Qi shook his head and put the toad badge back where it belonged. This badge seems to be suitable for divine magic in the dark direction, and it is not suitable for me.

Yang Qi then explored around and found a mask in the middle of these thousands of artifacts. This mask was pure silver in color. As soon as Yang Qi came closer, it automatically shrank and became exactly in line with Yang Qi's face shape.

"..." Yang Qi stared at the mask and felt a very strange feeling in his heart. The mask changed just right, completely matching every subtle change on his face, in microseconds.

Just one look at it and I want to wear it.

Of course, it also exudes powerful evil power.

"The artifacts in the treasure house of the underworld are basically of a sinister and cunning style...this mask is the same. Do I want to try it?"

There is no way to know the function of this mask without trying it.

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, then filled his body with Cronus' kingly power, then rolled up the mask with his tail and put it on his face.
