Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

The King's Breath condensed in the air, turned into a bone crown, and landed on Hades' head.

The power of thousands of dead souls wrapped around Hades's body, and bright golden spikes bloomed under his feet.

He stretched out his pale hand, as if it had not seen the light of day for a hundred thousand years, and pointed at the cat with difficulty.

"Come...come..."

Yang Qi stood there, carefully feeling Hades' aura.

If Hades showed any murderous intent, he would immediately burn the source of divine power and escape from here.

"..." After a moment, Yang Qi opened his eyes. His face was expressionless, but deep inside he was turbulent.

Hades is so powerful that he can make the underworld tremble with just one look. His strength far exceeds his wildest imagination.

It is said that Hades is the weakest of the Big Three. So, what kind of existence is Poseidon who is more powerful than him, or Zeus who is more powerful.

Zeus is still not the pinnacle of Olympus. Above him, there are also super-primitive gods such as Tartarus, the God of the Abyss, and Gaia, the Earth Mother.

Above them, there is the creator of the world, the Great Mother Goddess Chaos.

This was the first time Yang Qi personally experienced the high-end combat power of Olympus. He felt that the source of divine power was trembling, and that together with his own soul, it would collapse at any time.

Yang Qi felt that Hades had no murderous intention in his heart.

He stepped forward.

Hades stretched out his trembling hand.

Yang Qi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. The source of his divine power began to boil, ready to burn.

Then, a cold and hard touch traveled along his neck.

Yang Qi couldn't help but open his eyes. The cold and pale hand was touching himself. At the same time, a slight divine power appeared from the fingertips, which was warm and comfortable.

"Good...child...son..."

Yang Qi's heart moved. "Is Hades showing kindness?"

"He likes me?"

"My husband, the great King of the Underworld. Perhaps you haven't seen your eldest son Zagreos, and your daughters Taelia and Melinoe for a long time." The Queen of the Underworld said.

"You... also... come here..." Hades turned his attention to the other gods.

Zagreos carried the coffin and walked forward. He half-knelt in front of Hades and stared at Hades, "Father."

Hades stared at him, and after a moment, gently placed a hand on his shoulder.

"During these ten thousand years of my sleep...my child, what are you doing?"

"You made me disapoint……"

Poof! Hades spit out divine blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, dyeing the Golden Spike flower bright red.

"Father!" Zagreos was startled and wanted to stand up, but then his whole body trembled!

Hades just put his hand on his shoulder, but it was so powerful and oppressive that he couldn't move at all!

"Why...your...divine power...is...so...weak..."

Hades slowly raised his head. His pale chin was covered with bright red blood, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

"I'm sorry, father. I have failed to live up to your expectations... I... am not worthy of the title of Son of the Underworld... My cultivation... is not going well..."

"I... am too weak..."

Zagreos lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly.

"No...! My... child, remember... never show weakness."

Hades held Zagreos' shoulders tightly, "No matter how weak you are... you must always... show the attitude of a strong person..."

"You are...my...child..."

He gently picked off a golden spike flower stained red by the divine blood and handed it to Zagreos.

"Integrate...this flower into the source of your divine power..."

"Yes!!" Zagreos raised his head, his eyes flowing, he carefully took the golden spike flower, and then he took a step back.

"Father, Taliyah is here too."

Hades glanced at Taliyah who was still sleeping. Taliyah, the goddess of rest, represents the silence and rest after all the dead.

"My... wife." Hades said slowly, "Don't you think our daughter... is too pitiful? She sleeps all day long and can never wake up..."

"Yes." The Underworld Queen nodded slightly.

Hades stretched out his finger, and a slight amount of undead power condensed out, and then - brush, Yang Qi couldn't help but trembled, he felt something flying by in the underworld.

That is rest and tranquility.

The rest and tranquility after all the dead gathered in this small room and turned into countless soft gray threads, breaking through the soil and crawling out of the ground like grass.

Then, those gray threads stretched, penetrated deep into Taliyah's ears, and then disappeared.

"call……"

Taliyah took a deep breath and let it out. Her pale face now had a hint of rosiness.

Hades said with difficulty: "I condensed tranquility and rest into the source of divine power... and injected it into her body. She will wake up soon..."

"My wife, when she wakes up, remember... to take care of her..."

"Yes." The Underworld Queen nodded.

"Oh my god..." Yang Qi watched all this.

"Hades summoned all the rest and tranquility in the underworld to this room in just a moment?"

"And then condensed into the source of divine power? What a terrifying feat...!"

"I spent countless time and energy to condense the source of today's divine power."

"What will the source of Hades's divine power be like...?"

"Father." At this moment, Melinoe came over and she was half-kneeling on the ground.

Yang Qi found that Melinoe's face was paler than before and he looked very nervous.

Yang Qi thought to himself: "Yes... Melinoe seems to have never been liked by Hades."

"Melinoe..." Hades glanced at her, "How is your research... going?"

"What I want is the medicine that will make the God King... fall..."

Melinoe lowered his head deeply, "My father, my king. After getting your order, I have been studying it all the time. Now I have made some progress."

Poof! !

"ah!!!"

Melinoe suddenly screamed, and saw a bone spear sticking out from the ground, and the spear directly pierced Melinoe's heart!

"Ah..." Melinoe's face was in extreme pain. Her whole body was shaking violently and she didn't dare to move. Drops of divine blood flowed from her mouth.

"I... don't want your... excuses...!!" Hades' divine voice suddenly seemed majestic!

"There has been some progress...? That means...you haven't succeeded yet..."

"Yes, father, yes. I haven't succeeded yet." Melinoe knocked his forehead on the ground, and Shenyin panicked.

"ah!!!"

She screamed again, and saw a ray of ghostly light emerging from Hades's eyes, turning into a blade, and poof, directly cut Melinoe in half!

With a pop, her upper body fell to the ground, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Then, her lower body exploded and turned into countless pieces of flesh, forming a whip of flesh in the air, floating behind Hades.

"Don't..." Melinoe was in a panic. She gritted her teeth, her face was pale, cold sweat was flowing down her face, and her hands were scratching on the ground randomly, trying to move back.

Hades said nothing, just stared at Melinoe coldly, and then, the flesh whip was violently thrown from the air!

Snapped!

Melinoe put her hand in front of her, she screamed, and one of her hands was cut off.

She looked at her severed hand on the ground, then closed her eyes.

Her screams filled the room. Every time she was whipped, everything around her became more transparent.

Finally, Hades whipped Melinoe away with a severe whip. She hit the wall hard and fainted.

Then, all the color on her body disappeared and she turned into a ghost state again.

Hades whipped her again, and the flesh whip passed through her body, unable to hurt her anymore.

"I have already beheaded you once...this is...the second time..."

"I hope...there won't...be...the last time..." Hades said.

Yang Qi watched all this and was shocked in his heart, "So that's it! So this is how Melinoe's ghost state came about!"

For a long time, she only had her upper body and maintained a ghost state. Yang Qi thought it was due to some kind of divine power of hers.

Some time ago, she regained her physical body through fusion.

But now it has been cut off, beaten, and turned into a ghost state!

"The legend is true...Hades dislikes Melinoe very much..."

"So Melinoe has always wanted to please Hades and worked hard to study the medicine of God's death..."

Yang Qi looked at the Queen of Hades. She was expressionless and stared at Melinoe who fell on the ground, motionless.

At this moment, Hades' gloomy divine voice came to mind again.

"To...my...good boy..."

Hades' pale hand stretched out, and there was a golden fragment in his hand, shining with warm light.

"My cat?" Yang Qi wrapped his tail around it.

"Use your divine power... to feel..."

Finally, he turned his gaze to the Queen of Hades, holding a bone fragment in his hand. His divine voice became weaker and weaker, and he became more and more tired, and the light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"my wife……"

"I'm going to sleep... When I wake up again, remember to call the children here..."

Then, Hades lowered his hands and closed his eyes, and he fell into a state of semi-death again.

jingle. The bone fragment in Hades' hand fell to the ground.

The Queen of Hades lowered her body and picked up the bone fragment.

Yang Qi noticed that the moment Hades closed his eyes, there was a slight change in the expressionless face of the Queen of Hades.

She walked down, picked up the unconscious Melinoe, and stroked her cheek with her hand, and then a slight shadow power merged into it.

Melinoe's almost transparent body recovered a little, and she was almost completely dissipated.

Yang Qi heard a very small sigh from the Queen of Hell.

She turned her head and looked at the cat, "Baby, you know the way back."

"I know." The cat nodded.

"That's good. You and Zagreos can go back by yourself." The Queen of Hades hugged Melinoe tightly in her arms, "Your father will wake up again after a while."

"At that time... he will personally evaluate your combat prowess and decide who will go to Olympus."

The Queen of Hades turned into a shadow, flowing on the ground like water, and disappeared.

"..." Yang Qi looked at the back of the Queen of the Underworld, "It is said that Melinoe was the child of the Queen of the Underworld after an affair, not the child of Hades."

"I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm a little doubtful..."

"Hades woke up and gave Zagreos the blood-stained Golden Spike, Taliyah the source of divine power, me a golden fragment, and the Queen of the Underworld a bone fragment."

"But it happened to be Melinoe. Not only did she get nothing, but she was severely punished..."

Zagreos carried the coffin. He looked at the cat and nodded, "Brother, I'm leaving first."

"When father wakes up, let's fight well."

Then he disappeared.

Suddenly, Yang Qi and Hades were the only ones in the whole room.

Yang Qi glanced at Hades, who was pale and with dried divine blood on his chin, and walked out of the room.

Here is an isolated island, surrounded by a bloody sea, with countless huge mosquitoes dancing in the air. Yang Qi imitated the Queen of the Underworld, summoned the mosquitoes, crossed the island, and flew out of the painting.

Then Yang Qi walked into the shadow, into the candlelight, into the mirror, and finally returned to the Temple of Hades and his own palace.

Without resting, he directly summoned a divine shield to surround the area, covering his body and aura.

Then, a golden fragment appeared in front of Yang Qi, floating continuously.

This is what Hades gave him just now.

Yang Qi swallowed the golden fragment into his belly and felt it carefully with his divine power.

Then, several characters jumped into his mind.

"The abundant springs of the Cornucopia, the morning dew, the morning light, and the three-colored grass of the morning light..."

These characters carry a familiar divine power, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed, as if a clear spring is flowing through their hearts.

After a moment, Yang Qi blinked, "This is a prescription!"

Moreover, this prescription contains the wisdom and divine power of Metis, and this prescription is the handiwork of Metis!

"Hades got this prescription from Metis."

"Goddess Metis can even make magic medicine like the Medicine of the Fallen God. The quality of this medicine must be very high."

"I don't know what effect it has?"

Yang Qi wanted to fly to the treasure house of Hades immediately and make this prescription, but he still held back.

Then, a few scraps of paper and a small dark cloud appeared in front of him.

The fragments of paper come from Metis's "Book of Wisdom", which contains her memories and divine power.

The dark clouds come from Metis's mother, the second-generation ocean goddess Tesis, which contains her memory and divine power.

The next combat effectiveness test will be conducted by Hades himself. Yang Qi must win and go to Olympus to attend the Dinner of the Gods.

"Which one should I absorb?"

Yang Qi thought for a moment and decided to absorb Tesis' power.

He had absorbed a large amount of Metis' wisdom and divine power before, and felt a certain limit.

"What Tesis possesses must be the power of the ocean..."

Yang Qi pressed his paws on the small dark cloud, and then his soul leaped through infinite time and space.

…

This is the highest point of Mount Olympus. Late at night, there is heavy rain and lightning and thunder!

Huge golden thunder and lightning struck down on the highest mountain range in the God Realm from time to time, erupting with the roar of the creation of the universe.

"...I came to Olympus?"

Yang Qi's soul was floating in the air. He saw the towering Mount Olympus and the huge statue on Mount Olympus.

It was a king holding a sickle, wearing a crown, and his body was burning with blue-black flames.

"Cronus...this was when Cronus was still in power?"

Suddenly, Yang Qi's soul moved, and he felt that a god came here secretly.

Crash...the raindrops fell crazily on the ground. Suddenly, those raindrops seemed to have wisdom, condensed in the air, and became a goddess.

She was wearing a blue robe, her hair was made of soft seaweed, and there were countless dark clouds floating around her.

"Tessis!" Yang Qi's soul stirred, "What I'm looking at is Tessis's memory!"

"What is she doing here?"

Tesis looked around, and then her whole body shattered and turned into a dark cloud, rising into the sky and arriving on top of a huge palace.

Crash, clatter... The dark cloud began to rain, directly penetrating the roof of the palace.

Yang Qi's soul form also penetrated the roof and came to the palace.

"!!!" In the palace, Yang Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw everything in front of him.

He saw a goddess whose whole body was transparent and looked like the finest diamond!

In her transparent heart, there are nine dazzling gem hearts, beating constantly!

Beside her stood twelve stone lions.

It is Rhea, the second generation Earth Mother, the wife of Cronus, the mother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera and other gods!

Yang Qi thought in his mind: "This is Rhea...she has a heart of nine gems?"

"I've seen her before and she only has one."

At this moment, Rhea was holding a baby in her arms. The baby had golden hair and was surrounded by thunder. He was sleeping quietly. It was Zeus.

Tesis was right in front of Rhea, looking at the baby seriously.

"I know..." Yang Qi's soul moved, and he came to the moment when Zeus was just born!

"Great Earth Mother." Tesis said, "You must make a choice. Time is running out, Cronus will be here soon."

"Yes." Rhea looked at the thundering baby around her, and her gem heart suddenly beat faster. "My endurance has reached its limit."

"How many did he swallow?" Tesis asked.

"Five. That's the sixth," Rhea replied.

"Is it because of...the curse?" Tesis said softly, "The son is destined to overthrow his father and ascend to the throne of the God King's curse..."

"Titan Curse."

"Yes." Rhea nodded, "My stupid husband thought that as long as he kept swallowing children into his belly and kept giving birth, he could push this fate into the infinite future."

"Maybe... he is right." Tesis said softly.

"Right?" Rhea smiled, "He will know soon."

Rhea then picked up a piece of linen, wrapped the baby, and handed it to Tesis. "Please take good care of him."

"Yes. I will definitely do it." Thesis nodded, "Then, Cronus is here, what will you do?"

Rhea said: "I will handle it, you go quickly."

"He is coming. I hear Olympus trembling, I feel the blue-black fire steaming the rain, and his hunger and ferocity."

"Take care." Tesis picked up the baby, then turned into a dark cloud, passed through the dome of the temple, and flew into the sky.

She flew for a long time, then suddenly turned back and her pupils opened.

Boom, boom, boom, like the sound of a giant's feet stepping on the earth.

She saw a king with blue-black flames burning all over his body, holding a sickle and wearing a crown. There was a raging King's Breath behind him, and the King's Breath condensed into a huge sky, and a strange eye peered through the sky.

God King, Cronus!

"My wife... Rhea..." Cronus walked into the temple. He looked at Rhea, and his divine voice was like the wail of a hundred thousand dead.

"Where is the child... hand it over!"

Rhea stood there, holding a mass wrapped in linen in her arms, her nine-jeweled heart beating.

"My husband, my king. Will you still devour this child?"

"Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon...we have so many children, and you have swallowed them all. Aren't you satisfied?"

Boom - Cronus dissipated in the air like fire, and appeared out of thin air like fire. He appeared in front of Rhea and snatched the "child" from her arms with one hand.

Rhea took a few steps back and did not resist, but just watched coldly.

"My foolish wife - don't you understand? I swallowed the child for the sake of appetite?"

"I'm devouring dangers and destroying them before they arrive -"

"I am devouring authority, eternal authority that belongs only to me -"

With a click, Cronus swallowed the baby into his belly and swallowed it.

"Hahahahahaha!"

He laughed wildly and walked towards Rhea, pressing closer every step of the way.

"My wife...you want to give birth to children for me one after another..."

He walked up to Rhea, put his hand on the top of her head, and wanted to push her down.

"In this way, can you continue to postpone your fate - your destined fate." Rhea looked at Cronus calmly, as thunder and lightning continued to bombard the earth, illuminating her face.

"Yes - there will be one hundred thousand of our children in my belly. By then, in addition to the God King, I will also have a brand new name: The King Who Devours One Hundred Thousand Children!"

"Hahahaha! Kneel down!"

Cronus' hand suddenly pressed down, and a huge force came from him. Rhea had to stop and fell to her knees.

"Do your duty as a wife and please me! Rhea!"

“Give us more sons of God!”

"..." Rhea knelt on the ground, she shook her head gently, "That's enough, my husband..."

"If this is how you maintain your authority, I would rather——"

bump! bump! bump!

bump! bump! bump!

bump! bump!

Eight of the nine gem hearts in Rhea's body began to tremble crazily!

Her divine power increased rapidly, and the violent divine power turned into an extremely bright light, which was refracted by Rhea's transparent body. In an instant, a billion colorful beams enveloped the entire temple!

"Rhea! What are you going to do?!" Cronus roared, and the flames around him ignited. He raised the sickle in his hand and slashed at Rhea.

"Your time is over! Cronus!"

Rhea's whole body was shrouded in bright beams of light, and she could only barely see her resolute face. "Many years later, when facing your death, you will think of this night that swallowed the Son of God!"

"Then - you will know that your time ends on this night!"

Boom——

The divine power burst out and turned into a 100,000-meter-high divine power light pillar, rushing up to the sky. There were thousands of bright gems in the divine power light pillar, like a rain of gems.

In the rain of gems, Yang Qi's soul stood, watching everything in front of him.

"Rhea is right - the era of Cronus will end as early as tonight -"

"It turned out that Rhea had nine gemstone hearts in her body...she blew herself up to the source of divine power, fled here, and refused to give birth to the son of God for Cronus."

Of course, there is the most important thing.

"There is Rhea's power of the earth, Tesis's power of the ocean, and the most classic, the dark power of Cronus..."

“Which one should I absorb?”
