Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Push time forward for a while.

The twelve pairs of shadow wings behind the Underworld Queen spread out, and she held the Underworld Flower Spear and pointed it at the cat.

On the earth, dots of divine light condensed into a bottomless cave.

In the cave, a god crawled out.

There were five weapons floating behind him, none other than Zagreos.

"I asked why the Queen of Hades' divine power fluctuated so violently...it turned out that she was fighting with her brother."

Zagreos' eyes were complicated as he looked at the cat in the sky.

The cat is his younger brother, and he loves his younger brother. However, cats are also his competitors.

The position of the son of the underworld belongs either to him or to the cat.

It also includes a place to attend the Dinner of the Gods this time.

Zagreos looked at the cat, often having dark thoughts in his heart. But every time, he would be surprised by the dark thoughts and find them extremely ridiculous.

"What the hell was I thinking...he's my brother after all."

He himself doesn't know what his true attitude is towards cats.

Zagreos shook his head, and then looked at the Queen of Hades, showing surprise.

“This is—the source of the Queen’s divine power, the invisible shadow?!”

"My mother only told me, but never showed me...why did she use the source of divine power?"

"Did my brother's strength improve by leaps and bounds again?!"

At this moment, the Key of the Underworld erupted with terrifying pressure. The Queen of the Underworld flapped her shadow wings, descended from the sky, and stabbed the cat in the heart with a gun.

The cat instantly transformed into a diamond-like form and took the shot forcefully.

As Zagreos watched, he felt a chill in his heart, his eyes trembled, and finally he lowered his head involuntarily.

He murmured somewhat self-deprecatingly, "The son of the underworld... what a joke."

"My mother has never fought me with all her strength... Of course, this is not her fault. That shot just now will definitely pierce my heart, and most of the source of my divine power will break... Haha."

Zagreos recalled the dark thoughts he had about cats before, and found them even more ridiculous.

"I still want to kill him... It would be nice if my brother doesn't kill me..."

It took a while for Zagreos to calm down.

He sighed and continued to focus on the field.

The Queen of the Underworld summoned thousands of dead spirits, condensed into the netherworld sky, and suppressed it. The huge pressure made Zagreos breathless.

The cat then summoned thousands of dream light balls to resist the netherworld sky and dissipate it.

"The power of dreams... is so useful!" Zagreos thought to himself.

"Escape, defend, confuse the enemy, including attack, all powerful!" Zagreos thought in his mind: "When did my brother get this kind of magical power?"

"I only know that the God of Sleep controls some magical power of dreams, but that magical power of dreams is very small. It is only given to ordinary creatures to use in dreams. It is incomparable to what my brother controls!"

"Should I go find the God of Sleep and ask about the source of my brother's magical power to see if he knows?"

Then Zagreos shook his head.

"Forget it... It is quite taboo to inquire about the power of other gods. It may mean treating the other party as an enemy."

"I can't regard my brother as an enemy!" Zagreos made a decision in his heart, "I'm lucky if he doesn't regard me as an enemy!!"

The cat was unaware of Zagreos's psychological changes.

He was fighting the Queen of Hades with all his strength, and the thousands of colored divine thunders in the sky, together with the green light tide, spiral flames, etc., roared towards the Queen of Hades to suppress her.

When Yang Qi advanced to the lower level god, his divine power increased fourfold!

When the first obstacle is broken, the divine power is doubled, and when the second obstacle is broken, the divine power is doubled again!

The divine power spewed out by the cat was so bright that even millions of miles away, countless creatures looked into the sky, looking at the dazzling brilliance of divine power, and desperately devouring the little bit of divine power that drifted over.

Many creatures were eating, and their divine power exploded around them, roaring to the sky, and breaking through the bottleneck.

Some wild beasts and plants suddenly awakened their spiritual wisdom and became real creatures in the torrent of divine power.

"This is such a surging divine power! How is this possible?!" A necromantic shield appeared around Zagreos, but he still covered his eyes with his hands. The strong light almost suffocated him!

Boom——!

Huge ripples of divine power struck, and the earth trembled. Zagreos desperately controlled the divine power shield. After holding on for a moment, he was suddenly blown away tens of thousands of meters away!

He fell hard to the ground, the undead protective shield shattered, and then one undead self-destructed beside him, and the shock wave of the self-destruction withstood the roaring ripples of divine power.

"My Pluto..." Zagreos felt that the source of his divine power was boiling!

"Just the burst of divine power ripples shook the source of my divine power...! How terrifying is my brother's strength?!"

"When we were competing in the underworld, we were obviously similar to me! Except for hiding from Melinoe, I was practicing almost all the time. Why is there such a big gap?!"

Doubts, surprise and pain boiled in Zagreos's heart, and then he looked at the sky and couldn't help but stand there!

The Queen of Hades floated in the air. She smiled and remained unmoved. Then, thousands of colored divine thunder, green waves of light, etc., swallowed her up!

Then there was the strongest flash of light in the sky, and all the cat's tricks were mixed together and condensed into a huge light of divine power, plunging the entire underworld into daylight!

The huge divine light is like a brilliant sea of ​​light!

It hung in the air and didn't dissipate for a long time!

Then, a god slowly flew out of the sea of ​​light, it was the Queen of the Underworld.

She was facing the cat with a strong light behind her, and only her exquisite curves were outlined.

The Queen of Hades raised a finger and said, "Baby, all creatures in the underworld have been born in darkness since ancient times."

"Such a strong divine light can blind everyone."

She shook her finger, buzz... the shadows flowed on the earth, and then flew into the air, wrapping up the huge sea of ​​light.

The shadow completely enveloped the sea of ​​light, and then compressed inward, condensing into a black ball of divine power, which was held by the Queen of Hades in her hand.

"Huh...huh..." The cat panted heavily and looked at the Queen of Hades in disbelief.

He used all his strongest moves and used up all his divine power. This was the strongest attack in the cat's history. If he wanted to be stronger, he could only burn the source of his divine power.

I originally thought that I could at least hurt the Queen of Hades, but in the end—the Queen of Hades was unscathed?

She was obviously completely hit by herself!

"Baby." The Queen of Hades flew to the cat's side and placed the black power ball on the cat's forehead. "Eat it when you go back. This is your power. It would be a pity to dissipate in the air."

"Meow?" The cat didn't know what Underworld Queen meant.

The Queen of Hades directly said that if she lost, she would stay with her forever and be her cat.

"What's wrong?" The Queen of Hades tilted her head slightly, as if she had returned to the cute girl she was ten thousand years ago. "Oh, you were talking about the bet just now."

"Mom lost, okay. Mom lost to you." She grabbed the cat's paw, patted it on her heart, and said, "Pfft."

She smiled and said, "You hit mommy."

"..." The cat flicked its tail, "Are you treating me like a child and playing house?"

Then the Queen of Hades picked up the cat and raised it up, "You win. From now on, you are free. If you want to leave the underworld, you can leave."

"Mom keeps the promise. Tomorrow we will go to see Hades and get the edict. Tomorrow night, when the moon of Olympus rises, I will make you the ruler of the deepest place in the underworld."

"Now, let's go back and prepare a feast for you."

Then she glanced at the ground, "Zaglios! Go home early and celebrate your brother's edict tonight -!"

The cat then looked towards the ground and discovered Zagreos' aura. I was so focused on the battle just now that I didn't notice it.

The dinner that day was extremely sumptuous, and the Temple of Hades had not been so lively for hundreds of years.

The Queen of Hades captured one of all the wild beasts in the underworld that had not yet developed their intelligence. On the huge long table, there are thousands of types of roasted animal meat.

"What a meow... I have always thought that the underworld is barren, but I didn't expect that there are many kinds of creatures."

The cat walks past a charcoal-grilled nether giant. Although this kind of creature is in human form, its intelligence has not yet been developed, and it still belongs to the category of beast.

"This... tsk tsk." The cat walked past another plate of roasted rat tails. Dozens of rat tails were arranged neatly and were roasted to a crispy texture.

Just walking around the long table and appreciating the dishes will take you to a different world.

Another long table is filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, which are delicious. There are also various types of rice.

The underworld basically does not produce these things. I don’t know if they are in the warehouse or if the queen of the underworld has gone to the god world to prepare them.

The third long table is filled with various drinks, of course wine. The cat dipped his tail into it and tasted it. The wine taste was very weak.

"This should be the best wine the underworld has...so weak."

"It seems that there will be no good wine before the birth of Bacchus."

"Baby, sit on your seat, I can't do anything without you." The Queen of Hades waved from a distance.

Hades was still sitting in the middle, he was still sleeping, and the Queen of the Underworld was sitting next to him.

Then there are Zagreos, Taelia, and Melinoe.

Melinoe seemed to have just come out of the Nether Grass, and his eyes were a little dull.

On the other side of the long table, the important gods in the underworld, the three judges of the underworld, Hypnos, the god of sleep, Thanatos, the god of death, etc., sat down one after another.

The cat sat in his seat, then the Queen lowered her head and whispered a few words to Hades.

The Queen of Hades raised her head and looked at the gods, "Thank you all for coming and attending this dinner."

With a smile as bright as a flower, she grabbed the cat's paw and greeted the gods, "My youngest son will soon be decreed as the ruler of the deepest place in the underworld."

"Please witness with me!"

All the gods stood up one after another and spoke words of praise.

"Then, the dinner begins!"

As soon as the Queen of the Underworld finished speaking, boom - the door to the underworld opened, and hundreds of huge underworld butterflies flew in first, arranged neatly in the air, dancing gracefully, and it was pleasing to the eye.

Then dozens of nymphs entered one after another. They played the lyre and spread out joyful music.

Then, several dark elves came in. The dark elf in the middle wore a crown and a black helmet. He knelt down on one knee, praised Hades and the Queen of Hades, and finally blessed the cat.

The leaders of various ethnic groups in the underworld entered the hall one after another and continued to celebrate.

Soon, the hall was bustling with people and excitement.

"No wonder we have to prepare so much food." The cat flicked its tail and saw a god with a boar's head. After congratulating the Queen of the Underworld, he rushed directly to the food and opened his mouth to swallow a roasted Hades pig.

Taliyah was extremely excited. She had never seen so many creatures before. She kept walking through the hall, talking to various creatures, tasting all the food, and drank a lot of wine. She soon became drunk.

Melinoe's movements were very slow. From the beginning to the end, she did not dare to raise her head to look at Hades. She wanted to grab a piece of food with her hand, but found that her hand had passed through it, and then she covered her eyes and flew out of the temple.

Upon seeing this, the Queen of Hades chased out while greeting the leaders of the creatures.

The cat is enjoying a piece of roasted Hades. It tastes good. Just as he swallowed it, he saw a god walking over, it was Zagreos.

He raised the wine glass in his hand, poured a little into the glass next to the cat, and then touched it lightly.

"Congratulations, brother."

After witnessing the cat's fight, Zagreos changed his mind completely. He no longer wanted to be an enemy of the cat. On the contrary, he now wanted to have a good relationship with the cat.

Of course, the cat doesn't know what Zagreos is thinking. He dipped a little wine into his tail and stuffed it into his mouth, "Thank you, meow."

"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me. I am very experienced in cultivation, so I know what I am saying."

"I know, meow." The cat blinked. He absorbed the power of wisdom and felt very keenly. In an instant, the cat felt Zagreos's friendly intentions and guessed the cause and effect.

"I guess he witnessed my battle with the Underworld Queen."

Zagreos is pretty good to cats, and he has kept his promise before and shared the divine dew with cats.

"He does treat me as a younger brother. He just has dark thoughts occasionally..."

The cat chatted with Zagreos for a few words, and Zagreos left the temple to practice.

Then the leaders of various ethnic groups came one after another to congratulate and toast the cat. Their words of praise were so splendid that the cat was so excited that it waved its paws from time to time, condensed into some dream beads, and distributed them to everyone.

Most of these tribal leaders have low divine power, not to mention that the divine power of dreams is extremely rare. For a moment, the words of praise and reverence seem to be soaring to the sky.

In the distance, countless creatures were discussing.

"Isn't it said that the fourth son of Pluto only eats and sleeps wildly, plays hard day and night, and is completely useless. Why was he suddenly given the imperial seal?"

"Be careful with your mouth, for there are many disasters coming from it. Hades would crush your soul in his dreams if he knew that you were talking nonsense about his Son of God."

"It is said that the fourth son is now so powerful that he can defeat even the Queen of Hades."

"It's impossible. He was born less than a thousand years ago, and the Queen of the Underworld controls a trace of the power of a king. How could he be defeated."

"Anyway, many creatures witnessed it, and the Queen of Hades fought with him in the night sky."

"That's true. The night god's light is bright, and the magical power spewed out by the cat is really terrifying. I absorbed some of it and became a lot stronger."

"Near my tribe, many hell grasses have also opened their spiritual wisdom. When I passed by, I only heard them screaming in pain, asking me not to step on them. It's so magical."

"It is said that he is the most favored child by the Queen of Hades."

"Look at the bells around his neck. Does the eldest brother Zagreos have it? Does the second sister Taliyah and the third sister Melinoe have it? That is proof of the Queen of the Underworld's preference."

"Is it because of preference that he was given the priesthood?"

"The Queen of the Underworld may have a preference. The King of Hades has the power of a king and is unlikely to favor any son of God. What's more, the seal requires his consent. He will not allow an unqualified son of God to be granted the seal."

"The deepest place in the underworld...I have never heard of this place. What kind of priesthood is this? Is it powerful?"

"I don't know. But it sounds powerful enough."

"It seems that the title of Son of the Underworld is about to be changed! Zagreos' status is in jeopardy."

…

Everyone was talking about it.

Cats, on the other hand, were surrounded by thousands of tribal leaders and praised by all kinds of extremely gorgeous, brilliant, and even exaggerated hymns.

Somewhat nauseating.

But it's nauseating, and it does sound comfortable.

"Your eyes are so bright that they can light up the stars——"

"Your posture is so graceful and strong, compared with you, the lion is just a clumsy clown."

"You are so powerful that the underworld will tremble, and Olympus will definitely hear about your fame. The goddess of beauty Aphrodite will admire you, and the god king Zeus will definitely grant you great authority -"

"Hahahaha!" The cat smiled, flicked its tail, and threw out a handful of Dream Gemstones. All the creatures rushed to grab it, and the praises became even louder.

Yang Qi didn't think he needed to be aloof at this time. Since everyone was praising him, he would accept it and enjoy it.

It does sound happy.

Just don't get carried away.

Among the bustling crowd, Cat suddenly saw the Queen of Hades coming back from outside the temple.

She hugged Melinoe, put her on the ground, lowered her body, looked earnestly, and whispered something to Melinoe.

Melinoe covered her eyes, her chest heaving, and she was crying. The ghostly tearstones fell on the ground and quickly piled up in a small pile.

The Queen of Hades wiped her eyes, then hugged her tightly and kept saying something.

Melinoe gradually stopped crying.

"Is the Queen of Hades comforting Melinoe..." The cat looked at it and couldn't help but think: "As a mother, I am really tired."

"Not only me, Melinoe is also her child. She will also be in charge of thousands of dead souls and rule thousands of creatures in the underworld."

Melinoe's mood stabilized. She slowly returned to her seat and was able to pick up something to eat.

After the Queen of Hades comforted Melinoe, her face looked a little tired. She took a deep breath, then smiled, her eyes gentle.

She slowly returned to her seat.

Although she didn't do anything, all the living beings instantly became quiet and stared at the Queen of Hades. For a while, the noisy temple was as quiet as death.

"As expected of the Queen of the Underworld...so majestic." The cat flicked its tail.

The Queen of Hades said slowly: "Next, please allow me to cut the divine dew for everyone."

Buzz... little bits of divine light flickered, a huge drop of dew fell from the sky, and the divine power boiled.

All living beings looked at the divine dew with extremely envious eyes. Yang Qi could even hear the sounds of several creatures swallowing saliva desperately.

The boar-headed god was also beside Yang Qi just now, praising himself. At this moment, his stomach rumbled, like thunder.

"The divine dew contains divine power... This group of creatures is usually difficult to obtain, and it is extremely precious to them." The cat thought to himself.

The shadow condensed from the hand of the Underworld Queen, forming a shadow blade. She cut the dew into pieces, cut off a full half, and placed it on the cat's seat.

She looked at the cat and said nothing, just blinked.

"Meow." The cat stepped forward and began to swallow the divine dew.

The Queen of Hades said that this meal would use up half the year's supply of divine dew.

Then, the Queen of the Underworld cut off most of the remaining divine dew and placed it in front of Hades. Some more were given to Zagreos, Taliyah, Melinoe, and the three judges of the underworld, among other gods.

Not much is given to himself.

In the end, the divine dew in his hand was only the size of a fist.

She looked at the creatures in the field and said, "Please share."

"Thank you for the generosity of the Queen of the Underworld! You are rich in the endless land of the underworld, and your heart is as broad as the underworld!"

"Your mercy can bring the dead back to life, and flowers can grow on the bones!"

All living beings were extremely excited and stepped forward one after another.

The Queen of Hades squeezed it gently, and the divine dew in her hand turned into countless water droplets, flying in front of all the creatures, just one drop for each person.

Some creatures swallowed it in one gulp, and then showed intoxicated expressions on their faces.

Some even sat directly on the ground after swallowing it, with divine light bursting out from their bodies, absorbing the divine power.

Others did not swallow them, but carefully collected them as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

The cat saw a creature with a giant frog on his shoulder. He spit out three layers of divine power, wrapped the divine dew, then wrapped it with cloth, put it into a golden box, then let the giant frog swallow the box, and then swallowed the giant frog himself.

"Is it that exaggerated? Meow..." The cat looked at the mountain-like dew in front of him.

"Please allow me to perform a dance for the great fourth son of Pluto and Queen Pluto."

"May Hades and Queen of Hades be eternal."

A clear and soft divine voice sounded, and a god walked over and knelt on the ground on one knee. It was Nai Ji.

The Queen of Hades looked at her, and after a moment, nodded slightly.

"Buzz..." Naji stood up, and a sacred light appeared around her, which was the divine power called [Victory].

The divine power was condensed into a golden harp, which was dozens of meters high and stood in the temple.

She gently plucked the strings, and then the strings began to play automatically. The soft and beautiful notes flowed in the field, extremely melodious, and a hundred times more beautiful than the lyres played by the nymphs before.

Negi had always been wearing floral robes before, but today, she was wearing a white dress that outlined her exquisite curves. The big white wings behind her were spread out, like an elegant white swan.

Her divine power condensed into a gentle moon, shining in the hall.

She just danced under the moonlight, and the bright moonlight shone on her face and body, making all living beings hold their breath for a moment.

"So beautiful..." Yang Qi looked at Naiji and couldn't help but think.

Every time he saw the goddess of Olympus, Yang Qi always couldn't help but want to compare.

"Medea is beautiful. Her beauty is like a sharp and easy-to-break knife, like a frightened young animal."

"The Queen of Hades is beautiful. Her beauty lies in her mystery, her strength, her majesty, the thousands of shadows on her pale face, and the extremely bright red lips."

"As for Negi...she is beautiful in her elegance and nobility, like a white swan or a walking leopard."

Of course, Aphrodite is not part of the discussion. Aphrodite's feminine beauty transcends everything, beyond what words can describe.

Time passed quickly, and after the dance ended, Naji lowered her body gently.

Then she slowly walked forward and put a wreath made of bay leaves and olive branches on the cat's head.

"Congratulations." Naji said softly.

The cat can smell the soft and elegant scent of laurel on her body.

Naji did not return to her seat. She came to the Queen of Hades and knelt down on one knee.

A golden giant egg appeared next to her.

That giant egg is Styx. During the competition in the underworld, she offended the queen of the underworld and was transformed by the queen of the underworld.

Naji's voice was cautious.

"Great Queen of the Underworld, I don't want to disturb the elegance of tonight's feast."

Naiji's voice was calm, but Yang Qi felt like she was crying blood.

"I have repeatedly requested your visit, but you have refused to summon me for a long time."

"After such a long day, today you finally allowed me to see your face."

"I'm afraid if I miss today, I'll never have another chance."

"The great, eternal, and merciful Queen of Hades. On behalf of my mother, Styx, I pray—"

Naji pulled out a dagger, poof, inserted it into her shoulder, and divine blood dripped down.

"I beg you, restore my mother. I am willing to pay with my blood for the sins she has committed."

The Queen of Hades was sitting there, staring at Naiji and saying nothing.

Naji gritted her teeth, pulled out a dagger again, and stabbed it into her abdomen.

The divine blood dyed her white clothes red.

Nai Ji raised her head and stared at Queen Ming. When she saw Queen Ming didn't respond, she had to clench her silver teeth, took a deep breath, grabbed the dagger in her belly, and slowly moved it to the side.

The sword cut a shocking wound on her lower abdomen, and the divine blood gurgled out, quickly forming a pool of blood around Naji's body.

The Queen of Hades still didn't speak.

"And Bea." Naji was obviously in great pain, but her voice was still calm, "The Queen of Hades must not have forgotten that she was the first to take action and she died for you."

"You have resurrected Charon the Boatman, but you have not resurrected her."

"Here." The cat looked towards the long table, where the boatman Charon was indeed sitting.

When Aphrodite fought with the Queen of Hades, Bea was the first to take action, and she was killed by Aphrodite.

Then the boatman Charon also took action and was killed by Aphrodite.

The Queen of Hades promised to resurrect them all, but now, only Charon has been resurrected.

Apparently, it was because Bea was the child of Styx, and Styx had offended the Queen of Hades.

The Queen of Hades looked at Negi, then she smiled, lowered her body, and held the dagger in her belly.

She looked gentle, "Naiji, you love your mother so much, are you even willing to be punished for her?"

"I feel a little distressed."

She seemed to want to pull out the dagger, but she heard Nai Ji couldn't help but scream, and the Queen of Hades actually stabbed the dagger three points deeper!

The dagger was completely buried in her belly, leaving only the hilt outside!

"..." The cat looked at the Queen of Hades in surprise.

The Queen of Hades is the ruler of the underworld.

Rule requires strategy, wisdom, courage, but last and most importantly, violence.

The Queen of Hades is always very gentle to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi stayed with the Underworld Queen for so long that he almost thought she would always be so gentle.

No, the Queen of Hades is not gentle at all sometimes.

She is cruel to creatures who challenge her authority.

The light in Naji's eyes gradually dimmed, as if it was about to disappear.

Blood flowed from her mouth, her body swayed, and the source of her divine power began to break apart.

"So pathetic."

The Queen of Hades grabbed Naji's chin, admired it for a while, and then smeared the blood on her face on her face.
