Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Buzz…

At this moment, Yang Qi felt the divine power flowing within his body, and star dust was continuously sprayed from his huge dragon wings.

It is the dim bead that can condense the stars into constellations, constantly colliding in the source of divine power.

The dragon opened its mouth and spit out the dim star pearl.

"This bead is actually starting to tremble now." Yang Qi felt the divine aura in it, "It has something to do with Leto!"

"This means that if I can solve Leto's problem of not having enough to eat, it will condense into a constellation?"

The constellation of Olympus is composed of memorable stories.

Before, Yang Qi killed the Hydra and condensed it into the Serpent Constellation, shining in the source of his own divine power, which contained the surging power of the stars.

"It seems that this problem must be solved... Not only can we be friends with Leto, but also be friends with the future Apollo and Artemis, and we can also gain a huge amount of divine power."

"But what should be done?"

Yang Qi thought in his heart: "Leto's inability to eat enough is a manifestation of her authority. After all, she is the goddess of nurturing."

"It's really sad to say that. Representing the guardian of all women, Hera is the three golden beads that are eternally visible behind her. Representing the majesty of the law, Themis is the scales and the Book of Law that are eternally visible behind her. .”

"And for Leto, it's a state of eternal hunger..."

"So, it's impossible to keep her full?"

Yang Qi thought, and drops of wisdom fountain condensed on his huge dragon wings, falling together with the star dust.

After an unknown amount of time, it was as if countless lightning bolts flashed through my mind, and then condensed into a net, extremely bright.

Yang Qi woke up from his thoughts and vaguely had an answer in his mind.

He flapped his wings, flew to the feast, and took away a strawberry.

Then he flew towards the plain and simple palace with loose black veil.

After landing on the ground, the dragon stared at the black veil palace and said with his divine breath: "Dear goddess Leto, entrusted by Aphrodite, the son of the underworld is visiting."

The door of the palace was pushed open, and a goddess walked out of it, it was Leto.

She looked up at the dragon.

"..."

Yang Qi almost didn't recognize her.

Leto was slightly chubby before, fair and round, with round eyes, red lips and a beautiful nose.

But now, she is very thin, as if a gust of wind can blow her down.

But her eyes were still round and shining.

Four stars floated behind him.

She bowed slightly and saluted, "Dear son of the underworld, majestic dragon, please come in."

Yang Qi turned into a human form.

Leto's palace was extremely shabby and pitifully small, and the dragon shape could not enter it at all.

Stepping into the palace, I saw black gauze hanging from the dome, covering everything tightly.

When the black gauze is removed, there is another layer of black gauze.

"..." Yang Qi's heart moved.

He has always felt the power of Leto. She is the goddess of nurturing and the power of nurturing.

However, there is also a layer of "hidden" and "hidden" aura in this nurturing power, which is quite subtle.

"Maybe it's because mothers always need to hide themselves when feeding their children. Because they were fragile and shy at that time."

"The hanging layers of black veil are all made of divine power. This is proof."

Passing through layers of black gauze, Yang Qi and Leto arrived at the center of the palace.

Surrounded by soft black gauze, there were only two cradles and two rocking chairs.

There were also some fragments of crape scattered on the ground.

Yang Qi could tell at a glance that Leto was eating these crapes just now. He was so hungry that he was so greedy.

"Please sit down. Except for my sister, no one has been here for a long time. My palace is a little shabby. Please don't mind."

Leto sat on the ground. She tore off a piece of black gauze and handed it over, "Son of Hades, do you want to eat?"

Yang Qi took it and tasted it. It was like chewing cloth, with a slight hidden power.

Yang Qi asked: "Goddess Leto, why have you suddenly become so thin?"

"I don't know." Leto slowly gnawed at the black gauze like an insect eating leaves. "I don't know when I started to become very hungry. I will lose weight if I am hungry."

"If I develop my magical power, I can cover my sister's eyes, and then I can escape and eat, and I will become fat."

"What are the four stars behind you?"

"My sister is watching me. She said that if I continue to steal food, I will be locked up."

"I won't listen to her." Leto continued, "When I develop my magical power again, I have to escape to eat."

Yang Qi said: "Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, asked me to send you this."

Divine light floated, and a fragment of beauty appeared in front of him.

Leto grabbed the fragment of beauty and stared at it for a while, "The dinner of the gods will begin soon. All the gods on Mount Olympus will participate, and many goddesses will start competing for beauty again."

She collected the pieces. "I'm not going to compete with them. I'm going to give the pieces to my kids."

"Goddess Leto, I think I have a way to help you relieve your hunger pain." Yang Qi said.

"Really?" Leto's eyes lit up, his mouth was filled with black gauze, and his speech was a little slurred.

Divine power floated, and a strawberry appeared in front of him.

Leto originally wanted to eat strawberries, but they were taken away first by Yang Qi and then by his sister during the feast. He was so greedy.

She pursed her lips and trembled slightly. She wanted to grab it and eat it immediately, but she held back.

Then, the sound of gurgling water appeared, and clear spring flowed from Yang Qi's fingertips.

"This is...a fountain of abundance."

Leto looked at Yang Qi and said softly, his eyes shining even brighter. "The goddess of agriculture gave me some a long time ago. It smelled really good."

"Yes. Taking these fountains of abundance directly will probably keep you from being hungry for several years, but it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Yang Qi said.

"The original function of the Fountain of Abundance is to make crops grow on the earth."

Yang Qi poured a few drops of the spring of fertility into a strawberry.

boom. Strawberry trembled slightly.

"Taking directly from the Fountain of Abundance is not a wise choice."

"But inject it into this strawberry, and the strawberry will become a magical fruit that grows forever and can never be eaten."

"Although my divine power has been lost, there is no problem in satisfying my hunger."

"Please." Yang Qi handed the strawberry to Leto's hand.

Leto grabbed the strawberry stem and ate the fruit.

puff. The divine light floats and the fruit grows again.

Leto was stunned for a moment, then ate another one, and the fruit grew again.

"How amazing." Leto blinked, "So this is how the Fountain of Abundance is used."

"You can put them in the source of divine power, so your sister won't find them."

A sweet smile appeared on Leto's face, "I don't know how to thank you."

"No need to thank me. When your children, Apollo and Artemis are born, just introduce them to me." Yang Qi thought to himself.

After chatting with Leto for a while, Yang Qi left her temple.

Yang Qi transformed into a dragon.

The moment he spread his wings, tens of thousands of meteors fell from the sky, and the power of the stars rose in his body, condensing into a new constellation.

"My star power has become stronger. Before, it was just star dust floating on my pupils and wings. Now every move I make can summon a meteor shower." Yang Qi looked at the horizon.

It will take some time for the constellations to condense, and Yang Qi doesn't know what constellation will form in the end.

Looking at the list, there are the last two goddesses, the memory goddess Mnemosyne and the goddess Hera.

"Goddess Hera... let's go see her one last time."

"Then that leaves the goddess of memory."

"My magical power of dreams actually comes from her. Will she discover it?" Yang Qi thought for a while, then fluttered his wings and took off.

While flying through dozens of god realms, Yang Qi stopped his wings and stared at his feet.

This place is close to the edge of Mount Olympus, and next to it is a towering cliff.

On the edge of the cliff, there is a lone temple.

The temple is white all over, like a prehistoric giant egg, showing a graceful arc. All around, there is endless divine light steaming up, and the atmosphere is myriad.

Yang Qi saw colorful dust floating from all over Olympus, condensing on the top of the temple, and slowly flowing into the temple.

"These dusts are the dust of memory..." Yang Qi felt the divine power in them and thought about the stories in the records.

In Olympus, all creatures still retain their memories and go to the underworld after death.

To truly enter the underworld and pass through the gate of the underworld, you need to cross five rivers of Styx.

There is one river among them, the river of forgetfulness.

The creatures that pass through the River of Oblivion will forget all their memories during their lifetime. Those forgotten memories will slowly fly from the underworld to Olympus and merge into this temple.

Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, actually controls the memories of all living creatures in Olympus from its birth to the present.

Yang Qi saw a handsome man with a gentle face standing in front of the temple. Behind him, a torch was suspended, burning brightly.

It seems that he is waiting for himself.

"This is..." Yang Qi stared at him, "This is the god of prophets and foresight, Prometheus."

Prometheus was an extremely important god in Olympus and there are many stories about him.

Prometheus was once a member of the Court of Cronus, and he sided with Zeus during the war.

After the war, he joined the Divine Court of Zeus. He was a very important god in the Divine Court of Zeus and held a high position.

"Dear son of the underworld, huge dragon, please come down." Prometheus seemed to have known that Yang Qi was coming. He stretched out his hand and stroked the white temple wall, "Prometheus I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”

"What is he doing here?" Yang Qi thought to himself as he fell to the ground.

"Dear son of the underworld," Prometheus said softly, "You are here to send fragments of beauty to the goddess of memory."

"On the order of the King of Gods, I came to inform the Goddess of Memory and ask her to attend the dinner of the gods in the near future."

"I'm afraid that none of our tasks will be completed."

Prometheus looked up at the tall temple, "This temple has no gate, and divine breath cannot enter it."

"The goddess of memory hasn't come out of the temple for a long time, and she doesn't want to see anyone."

Yang Qi mobilized the power of his eyes and circled the temple.

Sure enough, the temple was like a prehistoric dome without any gaps.

There is no way to knock on the door, and no way to bring divine breath into it.

"Why is the goddess of memory unwilling to leave the temple and seal herself off?" Yang Qi asked.

"You know, the goddess of memory gave birth to nine daughters for the god king Zeus." Prometheus said.

Yang Qi nodded, those are the nine muses, representing all the arts in the world.

"The goddess of memory does not like the god king Zeus." Prometheus suddenly stopped talking, but used his divine breath to quietly pass into Yang Qi's mind, "It was Zeus who forced her to become his wife."

"Because the goddess of memory controls all past memories, it is equivalent to her controlling the past. Zeus needs that great power."

"Even Zeus can't enter the temple. Only the ashes of memory can enter the temple."

"One day, the anger, restlessness and desire in the heart of God King Zeus broke out. Thousands of dark divine power flowed from his eyes, which was the materialized desire, blooming on the top of Olympus like fireworks and spreading to the earth. "

"The desires of Zeus turned into countless nightmares, invading many creatures in the world. Those creatures were frightened to death by the nightmares, and their deaths were extremely miserable."

"The memories of creatures who were frightened to death will return to this temple. That's right...Zeus, actually hidden in those memories of terror and desire, quietly entered this temple."

"Soon after, many creatures in Olympus began to have all kinds of beautiful dreams about art. Either comedies with singing and dancing, or sad and melancholy tragedies, or impassioned heroic poems, or elegy of peaceful rest."

"All kinds of artistic dreams suddenly rose into the sky one night, condensed into nine muses, and came to Olympus."

"It was then that the gods knew that the goddess of memory had given birth to a child for Zeus."

Yang Qi couldn't help but shook his head in his heart: "It's true that Zeus invaded his wife in a dream."

"The goddess of memory gives birth to children in the dreams of all living beings... Sure enough, none of Zeus's wives is mediocre."

Prometheus said softly: "Dear dragon, you know it. Even Zeus, it is not easy to enter it."

Then he said: "How should I inform the goddess of memory and let her come to the dinner of the gods?"

"And what should you do, give the fragment in your hand to the goddess of memory?"

"So I'm waiting for you here."

Prometheus said solemnly: "I'm afraid, only you can make the goddess of memory appear."

"Can I make the goddess of memory come out?" Yang Qi thought about what Prometheus said just now and nodded, "I can send messages to her through memory."

"That's right. You control the power of dreams and let dreams enter the memories of those living beings. And the memories will eventually come to the temple of the goddess of memory."

Prometheus continued: "I know that to drive a lion, you need white sheep. To drive an eagle, you need fresh flesh."

"Please, respected dragon."

"After the work is completed, in return, I will tell you two secret messages."

Yang Qi looked at the elegant and gentle Prometheus, and it was unimaginable that he would eventually anger Zeus, be chained to a high mountain by thunder chains, and have his liver eaten by an eagle every day.

"Okay." Yang Qi nodded. Pieces of beauty must be delivered to every goddess.

Otherwise, all the other goddesses got it, but not the memory goddess. I wonder if she would be angry and come looking for trouble.

Boom.

A huge eye-moon appeared in the sky. The gentle and warm moonlight actually overwhelmed the sunlight, reflecting Olympus in a hazy atmosphere.

Then, the eye-moon opened and looked at Olympus in the distance.

Yang Qi was searching a radius of tens of millions of miles to see which living beings were about to die.

"The Olympus God Realm is indeed rich in products and prosperous creatures." Yang Qi thought to himself, and soon found thousands of creatures who were about to die, some due to disease, and some because the thread of fate was about to break.

Then, Yang Qi summoned a large number of dreams.

Fragments of beauty also appeared in front of Yang Qi.

The fragments of beauty shattered into pieces, blended into thousands of dreams, and flew to the land of Olympus, like exploding fireworks, flying to those creatures that were about to die.

Soon, those memories will return to the palace of the Memory Goddess, along with the fragments of beauty and the news that she will participate in the dinner of the gods.

…

Looking at the dream flying into the distance, Yang Qi breathed out, "Mission accomplished, it's really a bit troublesome."

"I wonder what this goddess of memory who refuses to leave her temple looks like?" Yang Qi was curious.

"You can meet her at the dinner of the gods soon."

"Only the last one is missing, Queen Hera."

"Thank you for your efforts, Son of the Underworld." Prometheus floated out of thin air and made an invitation gesture to Yang Qi.

"Please come with me. As agreed, I want to tell you two secret messages."

Buzz... The divine light floated, and a huge door of divine power appeared in front of you.

Outside the door is an altar made of bronze and gold. On top of the altar, there are flames rising into the sky, burning fiercely, which is a spectacular sight.

"Where is this?" Yang Qi asked.

"The top of Olympus, at the far north end. On the altar, the holy fire never goes out." Prometheus replied, "The Holy Fire of Olympus."

"The Holy Fire of Olympus!" Yang Qi's heart moved. As the god of prophets, Prometheus has another famous title: "The Fire Stealer."

What he stole was the Holy Fire of Olympus.

"Please." Prometheus made a gesture.

Yang Qi stepped through the door. The moment he stepped through, his sense of taste, smell, vision, and five senses all disappeared.

After stepping on it, everything was restored.

"The door of perception." Prometheus also stepped through the door. "Sometimes your five senses will disappear, and sometimes your five senses will be amplified. But no matter what, only by stepping through the door of perception can you come to the holy fire."

Yang Qi stared at the holy fire rising into the sky in front of him.

In terms of temperature, it is not as good as the fire of the underworld or the fire of the abyss, but the fire is filled with the majesty and momentum of a king, and the meaning of irreversible authority. It is deep and heavy, as if it comes from heaven and earth.

Yang Qi saw that there was also a thread of fate above the holy fire.

Threads of destiny are only found in living beings, and the Holy Fire of Olympus also has them, as if it is alive and a great being.

And, to be precise, it was not a thin thread of fate, but a golden pillar of fate.

The Pillar of Destiny soars into the sky, leaps into the sky, crosses the void, and merges into the River of Destiny.

Yang Qi felt a little trembling in his heart. It was the first time he saw such a thick thread of fate, as if the fate of the entire Olympus depended on it.

"As long as Olympus exists for one day, this holy fire will not go out. As long as the holy fire goes out, it means that the divine palace will collapse, and even Zeus cannot make up for it." Prometheus said, walked up, and he grabbed a Hold the ball of flame in your hand, and then gently release it, the flame is still burning.

"So, the Holy Fire of Olympus and the fate of Olympus are bound to each other." Yang Qi thought in his heart, feeling the divine power in it.

Of course it cannot be absorbed, because absorbing this kind of divine power is equivalent to stealing the fate of Olympus, and it is also equivalent to taking on the fate of Olympus.

"Dear prophet and prophet, what do you want to say to me?" Yang Qi asked in front of the blazing holy fire.

"Son of the Underworld, don't you think Olympus is too empty?"

Prometheus crossed the altar and stood on the cliff, looking at the earth beneath his feet.

"Empty?" Yang Qi's heart moved, and he guessed what Prometheus wanted to say.

"Yes, it's empty." Prometheus said softly, "From mermaids, nymphs, elves to centaurs, they are sparsely scattered in the forests and grasslands."

"Wandering around Olympus, most of the places you see are just dirt, trees, grass and flowers, not much life."

"Especially, intelligent life."

"I want to create a new kind of creature." Prometheus' tone suddenly became more serious.

"Sure enough..." Yang Qi nodded in his mind and continued to ask: "What creature?"

"Beings created in the image of God. Their names are called humans."

“With ears, you can hear low and high sounds. With eyes, you can see the forest in the distance and the soil under your feet. With flexible hands, you can catch prey, cultivate grain and vegetables, weave clothes, and build houses. With a brain, you can create a huge empire, study the laws of star movement, and form politics, history, war, and civilization. People."

Yang Qi nodded, "God of prophets and foresight, your plan is indeed grand. But why do you tell me?"

Prometheus said: "I proposed this plan to God King Zeus before, but he neither agreed nor objected."

"Just saying that it will be voted on at the Dinner of the Gods."

"The three giants of Olympus will vote on this plan." Prometheus continued, "So, I hope you can explain it to your father, Hades, and ask him to support this vote. ."

"That's the first news I have to tell you."

Yang Qi nodded, "I understand. But Hades, will he support this plan?"

"He will support it." Prometheus smiled, "As long as the great Hades can see clearly the stakes."

"People are not immortal beings. They are mortal."

"And every dead creature will increase Hades' strength and strengthen his kingdom of Hades."

Yang Qi said: "Okay. I will convey it to Hades."

"Okay, then the second news." Prometheus said softly, "At this dinner of the gods, there will be another important issue."

"What issue?"

"Olympus, the Twelve Gods!" Prometheus said word by word.

Sorry for not updating in the past two days
