Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Chapter 72 Under the River Styx, the Divine Power of Blood

"Please follow me closely." Naji drove the green moon and jumped into the River Styx.

Yang Qi followed closely behind.

In the Styx, everything became cold and dark.

Yang Qi felt as if he was floating in nothingness and gradually lost all consciousness. The black water expanded endlessly around him, seemingly ready to swallow his existence at any time.

Only in front of him, there was a dim green light, which was Naji's green moon, guiding Yang Qi's direction.

It's like all the water in the world is flowing backward. Gradually, the surroundings became darker, swallowing up the green moon.

Yang Qi could only rely on his perception of divine power to keep moving forward.

Naji's speed is not fast, she has been guiding Yang Qi.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light shone in the darkness, illuminating the surrounding area.

Yang Qi found himself swimming in a huge bluestone corridor, with a high vault above his head and two rows of simple statues.

It is from the statue that the light emanates.

Yang Qi looked at the statue carefully - it turned out to be Bia.

She held a huge spear and threw it with all her strength. The spear cut through the sky and pierced Cronus.

Then there is the statue of Negi.

She flew in the air, her white wings spread wide behind her, and she was surrounded by thousands of petals. She pinched her index finger and thumb together, and the huge moon fell from the sky and hit the Titan.

Then - Zhou Yangqi saw two male gods, back to back. One god was wearing heavy armor, had four arms, and held four war hammers. The other god had flames burning in his eyes and a crossbow in his hand.

Memories of stories come to mind.

"Bea, Nike...their images in the Second Titan War."

"These are their brothers, Clothos, the god of strength, and Zelos, the passionate and competitive god."

"The bloodline of Styx is really powerful!"

"[Violence], [Strength], and [Victory], these are three unparalleled powers of the godhead."

"Only Zelos, the passionate and competitive god, has slightly less authority in his godhead."

"I wonder what kind of god Styx is, the controller of the five Styxes and the one who gave birth to such an outstanding son of a god?"

Buzz…

The surrounding water gradually disappeared.

Naiji led Yang Qi through the bluestone corridor.

In an instant, the surrounding area became extremely vast.

The muddy and desolate land, with the dark mountains in the distance, is no different from the underworld.

Ahead, there is a huge bluestone door. The stone door is ten thousand meters high and so wide that the edge cannot be seen.

Four huge eyes floated in the air.

To mourn, to cry, to burn, to forget.

One eye, its huge pupil is filled with faces of various creatures. Their faces were sad, and that sadness turned into reality, condensing into deep purple tears that kept falling.

One eye kept flowing out black tears, and a cry broke out from the tears. There are young ones and old ones, there are cries of dragons and mayflies.

One eye was burning fiercely, flowing with bright red tears. The tears were hot and evaporated into mist.

One eye sheds colorful tears, and there are countless colorful orbs in the tears. The orb bursts out various phantoms from time to time, among which are the memories of thousands of living beings.

Yang Qi stared at the sky: "It corresponds to the four Styx rivers of sorrow, crying, burning, and forgetfulness."

"Are these the eyes of the four Styx rivers?"

Below the four Eyes of Styx is a dark and quiet spring.

Deep purple tears, black tears, bright red tears, and colored tears flowed from the eyes, and they kept falling into it.

"Black Fountain." Naji said.

She pointed to the dark spring, "Perhaps the most mysterious place in the River Styx."

“It was originally a deep cave with no bottom.

The eyes of the four Styx rivers continued to shed tears and fell into the cave. "

"Gradually, this square black spring is formed. It is extremely deep, but sometimes, a huge divine light shines out of it."

Yang Qi asked: "Have you ever gone in?"

"No." Naji shook her head, "The Mother of God has been there before."

"When she came back, she was covered in scars and her source of divine power was almost destroyed. It took a long time to recover."

"Compared with the hurt, it was the expression she showed... I have only seen her show such a strange expression once."

"It seemed like I was seeing... things that didn't exist or shouldn't exist."

"She didn't tell us about the situation. She just warned us never to enter it."

Yang Qi stared at the black spring that seemed to swallow everything, and the eternal divine voice seemed to come from it.

They crossed the black spring and came to the bluestone door.

"Behind this door is the Temple of Styx."

Negi and Bea jumped down from the green moon.

Naji said: "Distinguished guest, powerful dragon, do you want to try to open this door?"

"Among the four of us brothers and sisters, Clothos, the god of strength, can push eighteen thousand meters."

“I can push nine thousand meters.”

"Bea can push five thousand meters."

"Our youngest brother, Zelos, he can't push away."

"If you can push open this bluestone door... you will leave a deep impression on the heart of the great God of Styx."

Yang Qi came to the huge bluestone door, put the dragon's claw on it, and his divine power began to fluctuate like water ripples.

Yang Qi thought in his mind: "Stix, the God of the Styx—she and her sons of gods are loyal to Zeus."

"Zeus, on the other hand, was both defensive and re-useful of Styx."

"Be prepared, Zeus has imprisoned Bea's source of divine power."

"The other three Sons of God may be the same."

"Even Styx himself..."

"For important purposes, Zeus conferred the title of Styx and granted her such an important and powerful priesthood as the God of Styx."

"The underworld is the place where Hades rules... Styx is a nail driven into the underworld by Zeus."

"In effect, she formed a dual allegiance to Zeus and Hades."

"Such a priesthood is not easy to do. However, it also means that she is related to two of the three giants of Olympus."

"It's definitely a good thing to impress her."

"You can't hide your clumsiness."

Yang Qi was convinced.

He mobilizes all his divine power.

In the distance, Naji held Biya and stood there smiling.

Naji thought to herself: "Come on, dragon...what is your strength?"

"Bea is so simple, she can be your friend and bring you here."

"But...are you really qualified to step into the Temple of Styx?"

boom!

The phantom of the source of divine power appeared behind Yang Qi!

The huge World Tree reaches the sky and the earth, it burns fiercely, bursting out with blue-black flames!

Suddenly, the wind howled, the blue-black flames rushed upwards, and the huge pillar of fire rushed into the sky!

Wow...

There was a huge sound of water, and Naji's beautiful eyebrows raised, and then her pupils opened slightly.

"Um?"

She saw a river of blood surrounding the World Tree and began to flow turbulently. The strong divine power of blood turned into a pillar of light and shot straight into the sky!

Blood red mist evaporated from the blood river, surrounding Yang Qi tightly!

Suddenly, the giant dragon hid in the red mist and burst out with terrifying divine power!

"!!" Naji stared at the phantom in the distance in disbelief.

"New wonder?!"

"A new wonder has appeared in the source of his divine power!"

"Before, the source of his divine power was only the burning World Tree. When did this extra river of blood appear?"

The source of divine power of the gods can evolve. But that has always been extremely difficult and the process is slow.

"How long has it been since...that the source of divine power evolved?"

"etc……"

Suddenly, Naji took a deep breath, and she saw that the petals flying around her were dyed bright red by the divine power!

She felt a little strange in her heart, as if she had missed something important.

"What's wrong..."

"Wait...!" Naji's expression changed, "This is the divine power of blood!"

"Olympus, where is the divine power of blood?! I have never heard of such divine power!"

"Where did his magical power come from?!"

Naiji's face showed a look of extreme surprise. This evolution far surpassed that of the source of divine power, which made her tremble ten times!

"This does not seem to be a divine power from this divine world!!!"
