Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

"You're finally here." The cat flicked its tail, "Much later than we agreed."

"It's not that easy to escape the supervision of my lovely son." Rhea said with a smile. She glanced at Nai Ji next to her and nodded, "The power of victory? What a powerful companion god."

"Great Earth Mother." Naji bowed and saluted.

Negi is the cat's companion, and there is no need to hide anything from her, and Rhea knows this very well.

Rhea turned her head to the cat: "Show me your magic pill."

Yang Qi has two copies of the God's Fall Medicine, one with a weaker effect and one with a stronger effect. They are all in the belly, shrouded and covered by the power of rest.

The cat spit out the weaker part of the medicine and put it in Rhea's hand.

Rhea's gem heart began to beat violently in an instant, and then continued to climb upwards along the body!

Her body was also trembling, and her lips were slightly open, as if she was about to spit out her heart!

Rhea's expression changed, and she gathered the divine power in her hand to wrap the medicine of divine fall, forming a crystal clear gem.

Her heart slowly stopped beating.

"Very good...better than I imagined." Rhea nodded, "You have surpassed my expectations by being able to do this."

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the source of the cat's divine power. The cat was instantly alert, mobilized the power of rest, and enveloped the source of divine power.

"Great Earth Mother, peeking into the source of other gods' divine power is an extremely provocative act. What are you going to do?" Fire suddenly burned in Cat's heart, but he restrained himself and did not let out any fire.

"I want to know what your relationship is with Metis, the goddess of wisdom... She disappeared after the second Titan War. Without her inheritance of divine power, it would be impossible to develop the medicine of divine fall." Rhea shook her head , "Poor Melinoe, trying to use his own wisdom to prepare the medicine of divine death."

"Then it's time to fulfill your promise," said the cat.

"No problem, kitty." Rhea stretched out her finger, and then, two things appeared on her fingertips: a fragment of a divine sickle burning with blue and black fire, and a simple stone.

"Fragment of Cronus' Divine Scythe!!" The cat suddenly became excited. He had been looking for this thing, but he couldn't find it for a long time!

It turns out Rhea has it here - of course she will as the wife of Cronus!

The extremely precious fragments of the divine sickle not only contain abundant divine power, but you can also see the memory in it and absorb the divine power in the memory!

The cat wanted to snatch the pieces of the divine sickle immediately and swallow them into its belly, but he tried his best to endure it with a calm expression.

"If I directly transfer my divine power to you, it will take a long time. The fragments of the broken sickle contain Cronus' dark divine power, and this stone contains the power of my gem. Take it back and slowly absorb it."

Rhea placed the shards and stones in the cat's hands.

"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."

The cat ignored them and swallowed them directly into its belly, closing its eyes and feeling the magical power inside.

After a long time, the cat opened its eyes and nodded. The divine power in it is indeed abundant.

Then he said: "So, Rhea, your second promise - you said you would tell me a precious piece of information."

"That's right."

With a crash, Rhea's divine power surged around her body, and countless gems appeared out of thin air, condensing into a gem throne.

Rhea was sitting on the throne, looking at the cat: "There is an earth-shattering treasure sleeping in your body. You have never noticed such a precious thing."

"What is it?"

"The bead that exudes the power of the stars."

"A bead that exudes the power of stars...? Do I have this?" The cat turned his eyes. He felt his stomach and suddenly found that there was an extremely dark bead at the bottom of his stomach.

The cat opened its mouth and spit out the pearl.

The orb is dim and gray-white, with very weak star power flowing in it.

The cat was thinking: "This is... what I got after killing Hecate (Zeus' thunder puppet)!"

"Hecate wanted to kill Medea, turn her tragic story into a constellation, and ascend it into the sky to warn all living beings of the consequences of disobeying Olympus."

The constellations in the Olympus world are not randomly generated, but have various stories. The gods will lift the commemorative stories into the sky, and they will be remembered by all living beings in the world forever.

"Yes." Rhea nodded, "Don't you realize that?"

She said slowly, "You can create your own constellation."

"The constellations will bring you unimaginable power."

The cat asked: "Creating a constellation will bring power?"

"That's right." Rhea blinked, "otherwise why would Zeus be so keen on creating constellations."

The cat exhaled slowly. He had thought about this when he first got the orb.

He said: "Am I going to compete with Zeus, the king of gods? That will only make him angry."

"Who said you have to compete with Zeus."

"The sky of Olympus is ruled by Zeus, of course you can't move." Rhea smiled and tapped the cat's forehead.

"What is in the source of your divine power? Scatter the power of your rest."

"..." Cat nodded, and then spread out the power of rest, and the source of his divine power emerged behind him.

Under the splendid galaxy, there is a universe of thirteen rounds of divine power.

"You create constellations in your source of divine power." Rhea said with a smile.

"No wonder..."

The cat's brain seemed to be electrified, and his whole body trembled. He looked at the source of his divine power, and sure enough!

The galaxy is bright, but the stars are arranged in chaos and no constellations appear!

No wonder, he has been unable to mobilize the divine power contained in this starry sky!

When taking the original underworld flower and reshaping the source of divine power, all the divine power was shattered into its original form, only the starry sky remained unchanged!

Because it is the original form - its mature form, which is found in various constellations!

Only when this starry sky is full of constellations can there be divine power that can be mobilized - and this is from the source of one's own divine power and will not anger Zeus!

"Okay." The cat breathed out gently and he nodded.

Rhea's information was indeed extremely valuable.

The value of this information far exceeds the divine power she bestowed upon him.

"Let me give you another free gift." Rhea blinked, "You know how constellations are created, right?"

"It needs legendary stories."

"In the wilderness of Olympus, there is a powerful and evil dragon. Go find it, and a story will happen between you that is enough to be condensed into a constellation to commemorate."

Rhea transmitted a coordinate into the cat's mind.

"Thank you, the great Mother Earth." The cat flicked its tail, "And your last promise, turn me back into a dragon."

"oh……"

Rhea looked at the cat with her chin in her hands and shook her head.

"no."

"What?"

Cat's heart moved. Of course he had thought about Rhea breaking the contract and was prepared for it, but he didn't expect that she would only abide by the first two agreements but not the last one?

"Cat-" Rhea said softly, "Strength determines everything. I leave here now, and you can't stop me at all. But out of mercy, I tell you why."

"Because when you become a dragon again, you are no longer an ordinary dragon."

"Then what will I become?"

"Olympus - King of all dragons."

She blinked, "You must have seen a vision - don't tell me what you saw, it's asking you what you are like as a king."

"Yes." The cat nodded.

"This is the proof. You must answer this question correctly before you can transform into a dragon again."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

She stood up and said, "When I proposed it to you, you were not yet the future king of the dragon clan. I could help you then."

"But it's different now."

"The king—the king can only be achieved by his own strength."

Crash... Rhea shattered together with the gemstone seat beneath her, was blown clean by the wind, and disappeared.

"Riya didn't lie to me." Cat thought for a long time and said slowly in his heart.

"Before, she could help me transform into a dragon. Maybe it was simple then."

"But things have changed since I obtained the power of the king... It was only after I obtained the power of the king that I kept seeing visions."

"Olympus, the king of all dragons." The cat whispered in his heart.

…

after a while.

Boom.

Naji opened the door and walked into the temple.

The temple was extremely gorgeous, but empty. There was only a cat lying there in the middle of the hall.

"My God." Naji said softly, "The demons that surround us are blocking the passage back to the underworld."

"If you want to escape, this is your last chance."

"I won't leave, Negi." The cat was still lying there, staring into the void in front of him.

"Okay. I will accompany you until the end, no matter what the outcome is."

Negi sat down next to the cat.

The cat is staring into space. Of course, the apparition of Ouranos appears.

"What is a king?" he asked.

"I don't know. I've exhausted all my ideas, and maybe this is the only answer."

“The king is the one who fights to the death and never flees, and is buried with his country and his palace.”

"Because... the one who sits back and watches the destruction of his country and palace, running away like a mouse, is definitely not a king."

The cat shook its fur, stood up, and looked at the door in the distance.

Boom. The door was pushed open.

Intestinal snake, earthworm lion, abyss wolf, abyss bird, abyss giant spirit god, abyss devil-eyed deer, abyss mermaid, abyss unicorn, abyss dragon.

The tentacled sun, the demon in the mirror, the demon of blood and tears, the ancient tree of poisonous fog.

In the middle of thousands of monsters, there is a pitch-black mist, with flesh and blood surging in the mist.

"The will of the abyss." Naji said softly, "It was generated when the abyss awakened. He is very powerful, my god."

"Um."

Divine light surged around the cat, and he transformed into a young man with short black hair, deep pupils, and a classical and solemn appearance, like an oil painting from a master.

He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with extremely well-proportioned muscles and slender legs, and is wearing shadow armor.

"The cat is not my true form... and I can't transform into a dragon again."

"If I must die in battle, I hope to die this way."

The source of divine power appeared behind the young man, and then the divine power floated and condensed into nine swords.

Dark Flame Sword, Crimson Flame Sword, Shadow Sword, Blood Sword, Wind Sword, Dream Sword, Gem Sword, Sky Sword, and Corruption Sword.

Huge bright red triangle wings appeared behind him, and then, the power of the king fell from the sky, condensed into a broken crown, and landed on his head.

The young man straightened the crown on his head and drew out the sword of dark flames. The bright red wings spread out and pointed at the enemy in the distance.

"Come, slay the unprecedented king."

The will of the abyss burst out with a miserable scream, and then countless demons rose into the sky and swarmed towards the boy.

After burning three hundred thousand demons, the Dark Flame Sword collapsed.

After burning 600,000 demons, the Crimson Flame Sword collapsed.

…

After killing the 100 million monsters, the last sword, the Sky Sword, shattered.

The boy started fighting with his bare hands, and after tearing apart the 110 millionth demon, he was knocked to the ground.

He was surrounded by countless intestinal snakes, so densely packed that his eyes had been bitten off. Dark blood flowed down from the two dark eye sockets.

Countless mirror demons formed an array, searching for the pain in his heart.

Then, countless demons of blood and tears increased his pain and pushed it to the limit.

The Abyss Nether Wolf bit him into countless wounds, and then earthworms crawled out of the wounds. He felt earthworms surging inside his body, crawling up his spine and into his brain.

The Abyss Bird sang a strange song in the air. The song turned into a sharp sword and penetrated his ear hole, and then blood flowed from it.

The Abyss Spirit God threw him into the air, and countless abyss unicorns raised their sharp horns like a bed of nails.

He landed heavily on countless sharp corners, his whole body was pierced, and then he was picked up again and thrown into the air.

When he fell for the third time, he broke his spine and his whole body was as soft as a bug. When he fell for the twelfth time, his brains were knocked out. By the fiftieth time, he had lost his human form and was like a blur of flesh and blood. By the third thousandth time, the source of his divine power began to dim.

Yang Qi still retains the last moment of clarity in his heart, and he is waiting for his appearance.

Finally, Ouranos appeared.

It was still the half-dark and gloomy sky, with strange eyes staring at Yang Qi.

He asked: "What is a king?"

Yang Qi's eyes had long been lost, but he felt that his palace was burning fiercely and collapsing amidst the roar.

"The one who fights to the death, never escapes, and is buried with his land and palace is the king." Yang Qi replied.

Ouranos disappears.

"Is it wrong..." Yang Qi felt his consciousness gradually disappear.

Then, another phantom appeared.

There were thousands of shadows on her pale face, and her blood-red lips were like blood in the dark. She clapped her hands and smiled, her face as gentle as poison: "Baby, come here."

"Come to Mom. Mom will protect you. Always. Always."

"..." Yang Qi coughed up a mouthful of blood and stretched out his hand involuntarily.

The phantom Queen hugged the boy, and then the boy felt that he had turned into a baby again, safe forever in his mother's arms.

Then Yang Qi's consciousness disappeared.

…

When he opened his eyes again.

Familiar ceiling.

The soft bed, the Netherfire Stone emitted warm light, and the firewood crackled.

Yang Qi slowly stood up, feeling severe pain.

He endured the pain and lowered his head.

With five slender fingers, he is in human form.

squeak - ah -

The door opened, and then the goddess came in. She looked at Yang Qi.

She leaned against the door frame, folded her hands, and said with a faint smile, "Baby, how long do you want me to worry about you."

"But it's okay. Mom is here."

Volume one is nearing the end. I have been collecting manuscripts recently and the updates are slow. Finally, the manuscript will be sent out together.
