Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

In the dark and empty palace, dots of divine light floated, and then heavy breathing sounded.

Yang Qi sat on the floor, holding the Abyss Will Stone, with a slight amount of divine power flowing through his body, trying his best to endure the pain.

This magical power can heal wounds on the body, but it is extremely painful.

The sound of roars and the collision of divine power came in the distance. The battle has begun.

Suddenly, Yang Qi's vision went dark, the sacred stone in his hand fell to the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his whole body trembled violently.

He breathed heavily for a long time, then opened his mouth, spit out the bitten tongue, and then mobilized his life power to condense it again.

After the treatment, Yang Qi's injuries improved again.

He reached out his hand, picked up the sacred stone on the ground, and stared at it.

"I must not just sit in this palace and wait passively."

"Even if I really can't fight, I need to know what's going on out there."

"The current treatment is just too slow."

He took another deep breath and made up his mind.

The divine stone given to him by the Queen of Hades had a very good healing effect, but the pain was too painful and unbearable, so that the progress was slow.

He thought of a way.

Yang Qi mobilized the power of rest.

Yang Qi's perception of divine power is extremely keen. He controls the power of rest, flowing through his body, and finally gathering it into his brain.

He wanted to cut off "the perception of pain."

Yang Qi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, feeling that the power of rest completely enveloped his brain.

Given more time, Yang Qi could cut off the perception of pain alone.

But now that time was precious, he simply cut off all his senses - including pain, of course.

The power of rest began to flow, and then wrapped around Yang Qi, and the source of his divine power also turned gray.

As if the lights were turned off, Yang Qi felt that his vision disappeared and his eyes were pitch black.

Then comes hearing. Not quiet, but no sound at all.

Then comes smell, taste, and touch.

It was as if everything had disappeared, and Yang Qi was just a will floating alone in the endless darkness.

Then, the divine power in the Abyss Will Stone surged and merged into his body.

The wounds on his body gradually recovered.

"This kind of treatment speed is much faster than before."

"But the moment I regained consciousness, all the accumulated pain came back like a tsunami."

"That is to say, the pain that originally had to be endured thousands or tens of thousands of times can be concentrated into one taste."

"It won't hurt to death right away, right?"

"No...the death of a god requires the collapse of the source of divine power. Pain alone will not kill you."

Yang Qi accelerated his healing speed, and his body continued to recover.

After an unknown amount of time, the Stone of Will of the Abyss trembled and turned into ashes.

Yang Qi continued to mobilize the divine power of life to wrap his whole body.

"All the divine power in the Abyss Will Stone has been used up... How am I doing now? Can I walk?"

Yang Qi's consciousness disappeared, and he was unaware of his current situation.

When consciousness returns, the pain will come with it.

In the darkness, Yang Qi made up his mind.

"There is no way to escape this severe pain, so I can only grit my teeth and persevere."

The power of rest dissipates from the brain, from the whole body, from the source of divine power.

Yang Qi opened his eyes, and all his consciousness had been restored. He could see the outline of the palace in the darkness, the gorgeous long table dedicated to the Queen of the Underworld, and her throne.

In the air, the faint fragrance of Hades still lingers.

In the distance, roars could be heard endlessly, and the battle was fierce, but inside, it was as quiet as death.

Then - the pain hit.

Yang Qi's vision went dark, and he fell heavily to the ground involuntarily, his legs tightening. The bones all over his body were crackling, all the muscles seemed to be twisted together, and the blood was evaporating drop by drop.

He felt extremely thirsty, as if he was dying of thirst, and then the feeling of drowning came over him, as if he was suffocating. He felt that he was burned by the fire, and then burned to ashes by the even more intense fire of the abyss. He felt that he fell into the ice cave, and even his soul was frozen and shattered into slag.

Yang Qi felt the earth rise, and he saw the huge sky fall. The sky and the earth sandwiched themselves, and then they were crushed and crushed into earth.

He saw pain turning into his mother, madness turning into his father, despair turning into his wife, sadness turning into his children, and then pain turning into a huge castle and ridicule turning into countless fireworks. He and his family held grand banquets in this grand castle and spent countless days and nights.

Even in the darkest and craziest pain, Uranus will still appear. He is above the towering sky, looking at Yang Qi with mysterious eyes: "What is the king?"

"Ha..." Yang Qi was twitching on the ground. He looked at Uranus, and a smile appeared on his twisted face: "Uranus... you, your son, and your grandson are all afraid. What?"

…

This crazy banquet seemed to last for tens of thousands of years, one hundred thousand years, but it would eventually come to an end.

The grand painful dinner was finally over.

Yang Qi strangled the Mother of Pain with a rope, killed the Crazy Father with a knife, watched the desperate wife fall with poisoned wine, and finally set fire to make the Son of Sorrow disappear along with the Castle of Suffering.

The fireworks of ridicule no longer bloom.

In the darkness, Yang Qi slowly opened his eyes.

The familiar ceiling...but why is it so close? Just reach out and touch it.

Yang Qi mobilized the power of his eyes, looked around, and understood instantly.

Beneath him lay hundreds of corpses, arranged neatly.

Those corpses are all their own.

Some died of suffocation, some died of thirst, and some were burned to ashes by fire.

During the treatment, the severe pain caused his body to collapse and he continued to die. At the same time, the life power in his body continued to flow out and condensed into a new body.

"How many times have I died?"

Yang Qi jumped down from the high pile of corpses, his body shook uncontrollably and his face turned pale.

All his injuries were healed, but he was still weak and unable to stand for long.

Yang Qi sat on the ground.

"sword……"

After a long time, he muttered silently in his mouth.

In the extreme pain just now, Yang Qi and his family composed of various pains spent countless nights and held crazy dinner parties one after another.

He didn't stop thinking about the king's question for a moment, and he felt that he was one step closer to the final answer.

"The answer seems to be related to the sword... In pain, I once thought..."

"But now, I can't remember..."

"The answer is related to the sword..."

Yang Qi thought for a long time and had no answer.

Then he shook his head slightly and stood up.

"It's useless to think about it this hard."

Looking around, layers of shadows condensed into a gate. This was set up by the Queen of Hades to imprison herself in the palace.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the shadow door, mobilizing divine power in his body to neutralize the power within it.

Buzz... The divine light floated, and the imprisonment set by the Underworld Queen was very complicated, but Yang Qi controlled the divine power of wisdom and quickly broke it.

The Shadow Gate shattered, but strangely did not dissipate. Instead, it transformed into a huge shadow beast, a hundred meters long.

The shadow beast came over, lowered its huge head, and nuzzled Yang Qi's toes, very obediently.

At the same time, a divine aura passed into Yang Qi's mind.

"Baby, if you can crack this shadow door, it means you are almost recovered, right?"

"Don't fight."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"If you must come out, ride this shadow beast. It is gentle and very fast."

"The Queen of Hades is really thoughtful." Yang Qi thought to himself.

Yang Qi sat on the Shadow Beast and flew out of the temple.

Buzz... The moment he flew out of the temple, Yang Qi's whole body flashed with divine light. He mobilized the power of his eyes, and countless eyeballs burning with flames appeared around him.

The eyeballs spread around, and a hundred thousand pictures appeared in front of Yang Qi's eyes at the same time.

Soon, he saw the battlefield.

Suddenly, Yang Qi's face turned cold, and he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the south!

He saw that at the intersection of the five Styx rivers, there was a body of a green snake floating in the turbulent river water, as well as an overturned Styx ship.

The broken scales, the Skeleton Bell, and the fragments of the Skeleton Bell were flying in the air.

A god in armor, whose neck was strangled by a demon knight, was none other than the "severe one" among the three judges of the underworld, Minos!

"Typhon... After my death, all souls who have committed sins will not be punished, and the laws of heaven and earth will be distorted... You can't kill me!"

The demon knight stared at Minos with his dark eyes.

"Your death is not worth mentioning."

Then, he threw Minos up high, raised the "arm gun" in his hand, and stabbed Minos through.

The source of his divine power also collapsed.

The demon knight gently swung his spear, and Minos' body was thrown into the river, sank into it, and disappeared.

"Continue." The demon knight pointed the gun in his hand into the distance.

…

Yang Qi's heart moved.

The three judges of the underworld and the boatman Charon are both dead!

The demon knights have passed through the southern gate and are heading towards the Temple of Hades!

Yang Qi raised his hand. His hand was extremely pale, with bones and blue blood vessels clearly visible. It was much thinner than usual.

He had just recovered from a serious injury, which was obviously not the best time to fight.

The Queen of Hades also repeatedly told herself not to fight.

but……

Yang Qi gritted his teeth, then he patted the shadow beast's head and wanted to head south!

"younger brother!"

At this moment, three bright lights suddenly appeared in the sky, flying towards him.

Melinoe is in ghost state and looks melancholy.

Taelia smelled of alcohol, had a red face, and was in a state of confusion.

Between the two of them was Zagreos, clutching a short sword boiling with necromantic power.

Yang Qi's heart moved. This is the dagger given to Zagreos by the Queen of the Underworld, which can destroy the source of divine power!

"Brother, this is for you."

Zagreos handed the dagger over with the blade facing him.

"Zaglios, isn't this the responsibility given to you by the Queen of the Underworld, to kill the retreating gods?" Yang Qi stared at the dagger. The huge power of the dead was boiling in it, and the source of his own divine power also followed. They all shook together!

Hades' exclusive sword, "The Pale Spirit, the God-Eating Sword"!

Really, a top-notch artifact!

"That's right. But the south gate of the Temple of Hades has been lost." Zagreos said, "I want to protect it. This responsibility now belongs to you."

"..."

Yang Qi nodded and took the dagger.

"Melinoe, Taliyah, let's go!" Zagreos took his two sisters and soared into the sky. Then, his figure paused briefly in the air and looked at Yang Qi.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I seem to have had strange thoughts about you."

"What did you say?" Yang Qi held the dagger in his hand tightly, and the boiling necromantic power impacted his soul, making him almost unable to hear clearly.

"It's okay! I'm leaving!"

Zagreos disappeared into the sky, and his divine power drew an arc.

"Haha...Brother, can you win this fight?" Amid the strong wind, Taliyah slowly opened her eyes. Her mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol, "Why do I feel...you can't beat me?"

"I can't help you with anything...and Melinoe, tsk." Talya raised her leg and kicked Melinoe. Melinoe didn't even know how to avoid it, her eyes were numb.

"Melinoe was driven stupid by Hades."

"Taking us will have side effects."

"The Queen of Hades has assigned you a task to support all directions. If you do not complete it, you will be punished." Zagreos said softly, "It is more dangerous to leave you in the Temple of Hades."

"I am the eldest son and I have the responsibility to protect this family."

"Haha... eldest son, what's the use of the order of birth? We were born together." Taliyah's face turned red, and then a little divine power emerged from her fingertips. "Rest in peace, I'll reward you with my divine power. I won't care about it during the battle."

"Hey!" Then Tylia raised her foot and kicked Melinoe again, "You should also give some of your power to Zagreos!"

…

"fear……"

Yang Qi held the dagger and felt it carefully.

The dagger has the aura of Hades on it.

Yang Qi felt fear in that breath. The fear was the same as that of Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus!

"Fear..." Yang Qi murmured to himself, "Hades is also a king. Does the king have fear in his heart?"

"Why... why does the king have fear? Is fear really the answer..."
