Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

"Twelve gods!" Yang Qi thought in his heart, those are the twelve most important gods in the Olympus world!

Becoming the Twelve Lord Gods not only holds a high position of power, but also has the right to speak on many matters in Olympus. Your own authority will also evolve into the realm of gods!

Prometheus looked at the vast world of gods and said slowly: "The edicts of the twelve main gods are closely related to the creation of mankind."

"The twelve main gods are related to human beings...?" Yang Qi thought in his heart, and suddenly lightning flashed in his mind, and a word appeared in front of him.

The power of faith.

"Son of the underworld, you are very smart, you have thought of it." Prometheus said, "It is the power of faith."

"The vast earth, the bottomless ocean, the dark underworld, Olympus is so vast that it can accommodate billions of creatures."

"But elves can only reproduce once in hundreds of years. Mermaids will turn into bubbles once abandoned by their lovers. Centaurs are so aggressive by nature that less than one percent survive to adulthood."

"Even if they all believe in Olympus, the total number is still too small."

"The human beings I want to create will love each other, and I will bind love and reproduction together. In the blazing fire of love, children will continue to be reborn."

"They will also hate each other. They will go through war and blood. If a hundred people die, a thousand will be born."

"The most important thing is-" The torch behind Prometheus soared into the sky.

At this moment, the sun god Helios has circled the divine world and returned to Olympus.

The entire God Realm was in darkness.

Dots of firelight dotted the dark earth.

In the dark night sky, Mount Olympus, on the cliff, the fire behind the gods soared into the sky. He looked at the earth and spoke in a voice that was like a holy word: "They will believe in Olympus."

…

The dragon is separated from Prometheus.

The dragon was flying on the dark Olympus, thinking in his heart.

"Prometheus is right. The creation of human beings is closely related to the edicts of the twelve main gods."

"Because humans will multiply in large numbers and generate the power of faith."

"And they mainly believe in the twelve main gods."

"Becoming the Twelve Lord Gods will gain a lot of power of faith... That is extremely powerful power, and it is much faster than practicing."

The twelve main gods are by no means as simple as having high positions of power, nor are they as simple as awakening the realm of gods.

They will receive a lot of worship and gain the power of faith!

"Who are the twelve main gods..." Yang Qi thought about the records in his heart.

There are many versions in the records, but there is no doubt that most of them are the descendants of Zeus.

How could Zeus be willing to grant such an important priesthood to other gods, especially the descendants of Hades and Poseidon.

"The news about Prometheus is extremely precious."

The dragon thought in his mind, "I must prepare to compete for the position of the twelve main gods."

The power of faith gained by becoming the Twelve Lord Gods is a power that can never be obtained through practice.

But it must be made clear here.

The gods of Olympus, even if they have no faith, are almost immortal and powerful.

When the world first opened, there were no other living things at all, but the gods still existed, which is proof.

But that doesn't mean they don't want the power of faith.

For example, the gods of Olympus are like businessmen. They already have huge amounts of wealth and money. However, when a new market and new money-making opportunities appear, how could they not be tempted and step forward to compete for them?

The dragon wants to rush back to the temple to practice his divine power, improve his combat power, and prepare for the subsequent selection of the twelve main gods.

"But before that, there's one last task."

The dragon flew over thousands of temples and flew towards the center of Olympus.

Several gods roared and boomed, and he landed on the ground.

Gaze at the temple in front of you, the Holy Silver-Peacock Temple.

Temple of the God-Queen Hera.

The temple of Hera is right next to the Golden Thunder Temple of Zeus.

The entire temple is made of silver, matching the golden temple of Zeus.

The temple is extremely tall, sacred and majestic, only one centimeter shorter than the temple of Zeus.

The garden in front of the temple is full of lilies. Pomegranate trees are neatly arranged and full of fruits. There are many ripe pomegranates split open, revealing the bright red pomegranate seeds inside.

There are countless peacocks walking among thousands of lilies.

"The peacock is a symbol of Hera... The pomegranate is also a symbol of Hera, which means carelessness, suspicion, and jealousy."

Yang Qi knew very well what kind of goddess Hera was. A narrow-minded person will be rewarded for his anger, and the fire of jealousy will burn in his heart and never stop.

"I have to be careful not to anger Hera." Yang Qi thought to himself, using divine breath to spread it into the sacred Silver-Peacock Temple.

"The son of the underworld, the god of love and beauty, entrusted by Aphrodite, comes to see the queen and presents you with fragments of beauty."

Yang Qi lowered his head in a respectful manner. To a certain extent, Hera is the second most powerful person in Olympus, while Poseidon and Hades can only be ranked third or fourth.

Boom...

The extremely luxurious silver door, with intricate carvings and inlaid with thousands of precious stones, suddenly opened.

Then, a proud, high-pitched voice sounded: "Son of the underworld, please come to the temple. I have seen the most luxurious goddess in the world."

The temple is so spacious that even if Yang Qi is in dragon form, he can enter it and it is very spacious.

He no longer transformed and stepped into it.

The spacious hall was lined with peacocks. The moment Yang Qi entered, all the screens opened, and the gorgeous colors seemed to explode in the temple, forming a long passage corridor.

Slowly moving forward along the Peacock Road, Yang Qi saw a narcissus throne at the end of the hall, on a high platform.

A goddess is sitting on a throne of daffodils. Next to her, there is a goddess who is bowing down to serve.

The serving goddess has twelve pairs of rainbow wings behind her and holds a transparent wine glass in her hand.

She raised her head and said with the same gorgeous and high-pitched voice, "Son of the underworld, don't forget what kind of great existence you are facing."

"You should be extremely respectful. You should obey the wishes of the goddess."

"Please come forward."

Yang Qi saw that there were seven pupils in her eyes, which were the color of the rainbow. They were densely packed and terrifying.

Elise, the Rainbow Goddess, is Hera’s companion goddess and her messenger!

She will turn into a rainbow and travel through the land, ocean, underworld, and sky of Olympus to convey the Queen's orders.

Yang Qi had seen her in Metis Temple before.

"He is just the companion god of Hera, but he has the power of a superior god." Yang Qi thought to himself, and continued to move forward along the Peacock Road.

The temple was extremely spacious, and after walking for dozens of breaths, I finally saw Hera clearly on the throne.

Hera's face was fair, and her arms were as white as milk, shining like milk. No wonder it has the reputation of "White-armed Hera".

She has long golden hair and wears a crown made of gold, silver, lilies and peacock feathers.

There is a cuckoo on her shoulder, holding a scepter of the Queen of Gods in her hand, and behind her are three golden beads, from which the figures of all the maidens, wives and widows of Olympus are reflected.

"Hera, the source of divine power... represents the guardian of all female creatures in Olympus." Yang Qi thought to himself, "Sure enough, none of Zeus's wives is mediocre, especially the Queen Hera! "

In Olympus, the superior gods will awaken [Double Body], the main god will awaken [Domain of God], and above the God King, [Trinity] will awaken.

And Hera, when she was born, had the prototype of the Trinity, a girl, a wife, and a widow!

She was wearing a gorgeous white robe and had a beautiful face, but there was a hint of violence in her eyes. Extremely majestic.

Behind her throne grew a golden pomegranate tree, its branches lowered.

Hera leaned on the throne, raised her eyes, and glanced at the dragon.

The look in his eyes was quite impatient and slightly disgusting. It was the look of a superior, for all living beings were beneath her. Even Zeus was sometimes afraid of her.

Yang Qi lowered his head, his divine power floated, and fragments of beauty appeared in front of his eyes.

"Entrusted by Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, to present the fragment of beauty to the great goddess Hera."

This is the largest of the seven fragments of beauty. The second largest one was collected by Yang Qi himself.

Yang Qi originally wanted to keep the largest fragment of beauty for himself, but considering that Hera was so cautious, he decided to donate it to her just in case.

Hera glanced at it but said nothing. The rainbow goddess Iris understood it. She flapped her rainbow wings, and a rainbow appeared, flew over in the air, and entangled the fragments of beauty.

The fragment of beauty fell into the hands of Hera.

Hera looked at the fragment of beauty and nodded, her mood seemed to be better.

Then she spoke.

This was the first time Yang Qi heard Hera speak. Her voice was beautiful and gentle, but for some reason, he always felt that there was a sharp knife in it, suppressing it from the air, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

"Child of Hades, raise your head and look at me."

"Yes." Yang Qi raised his head and looked at Hera.

Yang Qi discovered that the three golden orbs behind Hera, the one representing "wife", were shining brightly at the moment, while the other two were somewhat dim.

"This explains Hera's current identity and character. Is she a [wife]?" Yang Qi thought in his mind.

"Can she switch between the three identities and personalities of [girl], [wife], and [widow]?"

"It should be so. Hera was born with the rudiments of the Trinity."

Then, Hera's words interrupted Yang Qi's thoughts.

Hearing Hera's words, Yang Qi couldn't help but open his pupils and tighten his heart.

Hera said: "Tell me, who is more beautiful between me and the other five goddesses?"

"..." Yang Qi shook his head in his mind, "Damn it, what kind of proposition is this."

Compared with the other five goddesses, Hera's meaning is very clear, that is, compared with the other wives of Zeus.

"Hera is such a narrow-minded goddess. If you say something carelessly, you may anger her and suffer her revenge." Yang Qi thought in his mind.

Yang Qi stared at Hera. To be fair, Hera was indeed extremely beautiful. Her beauty lies in her nobility, just like a hundred thousand suns shining on the gold all over the ground.

Her beauty is full of oppression, and it is high up, as if it can never be looked at directly.

Yang Qi organized his words and spoke slowly.

"The goddess of water plants and pastures, Eurynome, is like a child. She only has the innocent beauty of a child, without the beauty of a woman."

"Themis, the goddess of law, is as beautiful as a sharp knife and like an iceberg sinking under the deep sea. It is terrifying to look at."

"Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, her beauty is exuberant and full of vitality, just like the fields after the spring rain."

"The nurturing goddess Leto, with her fat, round eyes, looks like a huge female animal, with a gentle and submissive beauty."

"Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, I'm ashamed that I haven't seen her with my own eyes. I don't know what she looks like."

"But none of these goddesses can compare with you, the great Queen of Gods. Their faces are beautiful, but they cannot compare with your sacred, majestic and noble beauty, the sun shining on thousands of golds."

After Yang Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited quietly.

In Yang Qi's heart, he still feels that the cold, sharp, and cold temperament of Themis, the goddess of law, is the most beautiful.

Secondly, he thought Leto's chubby, round eyes, gentle and simple look was very cute.

But of course you can't tell the truth.

Yang Qi was not lying. Hera indeed overwhelmed all the goddesses in terms of divine majesty.

"Oh, son of the underworld, it's really hard for you to think of so many adjectives."

As the Goddess spoke, a smile appeared on her face, obviously very satisfied with Yang Qi's answer.

"Keep your head up."

"Yes." Yang Qi raised his head again.

Crash, clatter, the sound of metal rubbing against the ground.

Crash, clatter, the sound came closer and closer.

Hera raised her hand, and a peacock feather chain condensed from the void and fell into her hand.

She gave it a gentle tug.

Then, there was a low moan.

A goddess slowly crawled out from the side of the hall.

She wore a golden bindi on her head and a tattered red robe, her hair was messy, and her body was covered with wounds. His neck was tied with chains.

On the pale face, there was a huge bright red wound, diagonally across the nose from the corner of the mouth to the eyebrows. The flesh and blood was trembling slightly, and maggots were crawling in it.

Yang Qi's face was expressionless, but his heart trembled.

All her limbs were severed, and the bright red, huge wounds were replaced with dog limbs.

The goddess slowly and hard waved the dog's limbs, slowly crawled over, and crawled to Hera's side.

"I heard that she is the smartest and calmest goddess."

"I heard that she will give birth to the most beautiful and powerful child."

A cruel smile appeared on Hera's face. She grabbed the hair of the red-robed goddess, pulled her face up and showed it to Yang Qi.

"With the limbs of a dog, can you still give birth to such a wonderful child?"

"Tell me, who is more beautiful, me or her?"

…

The goddess of wisdom, Metis.

Metis just stared at Yang Qi without saying a word.

"This goddess is seriously injured, and her hair is messy, covering her face. I can't see her true appearance clearly, and there's no way to compare her."

Yang Qi lowered his head and said that he never wanted to look at Metis again.

"Haha!" Hera laughed sharply, "Son of the underworld, are you really cautious, don't you even want to offend her?"

Hera shook the chain in her hand. Metis suddenly turned pale and found it difficult to breathe. She wanted to raise her hand and loosen the chain around her neck, but it was just a dog's paw and it was difficult to control it.

Metis's pale face turned even paler, and then turned red. She shed tears and whispered something, probably something like pleading, which Yang Qi could not hear clearly.

"The banquet of the gods will be her end." Hera said, "Son of the underworld, go back."

"Tell your father Hades and your mother Persephone."

"Zeus will eat Metis alive."

…

Yang Qi left Hera's temple.

As he flies, he spits out emotion stones of "disgusting" and "angry".

Yang Qi knew that Hera was torturing Metis, but he didn't expect that he would be tortured to this extent.

The emotional stones fell like rain, then were burned by the flames around the dragon and turned into ashes.

Calmness finally returned.

"Hera showed me this and asked me to inform Pluto and Queen. It is a kind of showoff of the winner, and it is also a deterrent to the underworld."

"If you dare to disobey her or anger her, she will show no mercy and deal such cruelty."

"Metis...even if he dies, he cannot die quietly. In the end, he will become a tool for Hera to express her authority."

Yang Qi recalled Metis's numb face, which turned pale and then turned red, with tears left behind, pleading for something.

According to records, Zeus did eventually swallow Metis.

Yang Qi thought in his mind, "Hera will take Metis to the dinner of the gods, hoping that Zeus will swallow her."

"Themis will also seek justice for Metis at the dinner of the gods."

"It was a violent confrontation... blood will be spilled at the dinner party."

"Also, there will be fierce conflicts over whether to create humans and how to select the twelve main gods."

"No wonder...both Hades and the Queen of Hades have said that they are not strong enough, and they would rather leave the position empty than bring him to the dinner of the gods."

"The Supper of the Gods is not a light-hearted feast with golden goblets and beautiful dance steps. It is the place where conflict breaks out and where conflict is resolved."

Yang Qi flew towards the temple where he lived.

"No matter what, we still have to become stronger."

"Prometheus said that if someone is strong and has made great contributions to Olympus, through selection, even if he is not the son of Zeus, he may become the twelve main gods."

"Looking back now, there are mainly these ways for me to become stronger." Yang Qi concluded in his mind, "The first is swallowing. That was the most used during the lizard period."

"Second is training. I first practiced the secrets of the Dragon Clan's inheritance, then the secrets of the Titan's inheritance, and now I practice the secrets of the Dragon King's inheritance."

"The third is the non-real pearl, which is cultivated through memory fragments. Unfortunately, I don't have any fragments now, they are all used up."

"Finally, it's..."

A line of blurry handwriting appeared in front of Yang Qi's eyes: [Current number of simulations possible: once].

The dragon's speed increased. He wanted to return to his temple quickly and simulate practice.

The giant dragon flew in the dark night sky, surrounded by only the whistling of the wind and the never-ending singing of feasts coming from afar.

On the top of Olympus, there are dots of divine light, looking quiet and peaceful.

At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly heard a slight sound of water.

He stopped suddenly and swung his tail back fiercely!

"Who?! Who is lurking there?!" Yang Qi roared, he turned around, black and crimson fire ignited all over his body, burning into the dark night sky. Above his head was a huge sword hanging upside down, wrapped with golden threads. !

Brilliant star dust erupted from the dragon's pupils and wings, and colorful divine light reflected in its transparent body. He looked into the void, where there was a slight sound of water flowing, and a very familiar divine aura.

"Long time no see -" a lazy and frivolous voice sounded.

"Lizard——" the voice suddenly said viciously.

The water flow condensed in the air gradually expanded, and then a god appeared from it.

He stood on the shoulders of a giant, his eyes burning with the fire of the ocean.

Son of the Ocean, eldest son of Poseidon, Triton!

The giant at Triton's feet was made of bronze and inlaid with thousands of white shells. He held a huge dragon bone spear and had only one eye on his forehead.

"This is - Polyphemus, the giant of the sea!"

Yang Qi looked at the giant, and his heart moved. He remembered the story in the record.

This giant appeared in "The Odyssey".

The famous hero Odysseus once accidentally fell into the Giant Islands and entered his cave.

The sea giant Polyphemus captured Odysseus and his party and continued to devour them.

Odysseus made the giant drunk with strong wine and named himself "Nobody". Odysseus then used the sea giant's own spear to blind the giant's eyes.

The giant screamed in pain, "No one attacked me" and called for help from other giants, but his call only drew ridicule from the other giants.

The giants guarded the cave and kept stroking the backs of the sheep, lest Odysseus escape on the sheep. But Odysseus grabbed the belly of the sheep and escaped from the cave.

The giant is the illegitimate son of Poseidon, and Triton is the eldest son of Poseidon and the Queen of the Sea, the son of the ocean. Obviously, the giant of the sea surrendered to Triton.

Triton's eyes were burning, and he stared at the dragon fiercely, "Take off your dragon skin, and the gods will still find that there is a timid lizard hidden inside!"

"You destroyed the source of my divine power and swallowed my body, but - you didn't expect it!"

"My great father summoned the tides and storms, and the terrifying power of the ocean traveled upstream along the River Styx, and saved my soul at the junction of the River Styx and the River of Destiny!"

Triton's lower body is an octopus, with thousands of deep-sea dragons swimming in his pupils, and a white ocean horn floating behind him.

"My father reshaped my body and the source of divine power - the lizard. We meet again!"

The dinner party of the gods is not only attended by the underworld.

Of course the gods of the ocean will also come to participate.

But today is different from the past. In the past, Yang Qi was just a lizard and a lonely dragon in the wilderness. Now, he is also a son of the underworld, and his status is the same as Triton.

"Triton, you attacked me for no reason. I only wish I didn't burn your soul to ashes so that you could see the light of day again!"

Buzz…

The source of the dragon's divine power appeared. Under the vast night sky, the Hydra constellation boiled and shone, and the fourteen-direction divine power universe formed a circle, rotating and roaring.

The power of the king fell from the sky, condensed into a crown of thorns and dragon bones, and landed on the top of the dragon's head. The accompanying god, the goddess of victory, Naji, dressed in a flower robe, appeared next to the dragon. She opened her big white wings, and the sea of ​​flowers and the power of victory appeared. The song resounds in the night sky!

Boom—Triton’s source of divine power also appeared behind him!

His divine power was extremely low at first, and he was just a lower god. After Poseidon reshaped his body and the source of his divine power, he also possessed the divine power of a higher god!

The power of the king fell from the sky and turned into a crown woven of shells, seaweed and gold. It landed on Triton's head, and the rolling tide rose into the sky!

Countless sea tides rotated and condensed in the sky, and then roaring sounds came from the void. Huge metal, rocks, seaweed and soil flowed in the air and condensed into a rotating city!

"The great city that was destroyed in the past, but was rebuilt by my king——"

"The place where thousands of ocean tides return, the place where thousands of ocean tides rise, the depths of the ocean, the city of gold and blue kings, Atlantis!"

The phantom of the magnificent city of Atlantis appeared behind Triton!

The source of Triton’s divine power: [Storm Ensemble-The Collapse and Rebirth of the Golden and Blue Royal City]!

The crown on Triton's head burst out with terrifying kingly power, "Lizard, you are facing the son of the ocean, the King of Atlantis, Triton!"

"Lizard-" His eyes burst out with ocean fire and soared into the sky, "The moment of your death has arrived!"

"Roar!!" The giant dragon roared, its wings spread out, and its divine power increased to its peak!

The top of Olympus, the sky of stars, the rotating universe of divine power, and the phantom of Atlantis, the golden and blue royal city.

The son of the underworld and the son of the ocean are about to begin a life-and-death struggle!

On the top of Olympus, many gods rose into the sky and stared at them. Even the moon goddess Selene, who was driving the moon deer chariot in the sky, couldn't help but pull up the reins and looked down.

The moon stopped moving and hung high in the sky.

The sons of the underworld and the sons of the ocean were extremely jealous when they saw each other. Their divine power reached its peak and they rushed towards each other!
