Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

".Yes."

On the side, the Mother of Light did not know her daughter's psychological activities. Although she heard Selene's trembling voice, Theia didn't even look at her.

She just stared at the earth and ocean, witnessing the gathering of storms and the weakness revealed in the violent sun.

Before, she knew that the moon belonged to her daughter's domain, but she still occupied it and took care of the remaining star gods. It was hard to say whether Theia had ever thought about the day when Hyperion escaped from the trap.

But now, she no longer pays attention to these things.

Even if Hyperion still has a chance to escape in the future, perhaps it is better to be an aloof sun than to try to be the master of the starry sky.

To him, Theia had done her best.

"Yes, Selene, he was taken, right before your eyes."

Taking a deep breath, Theia seemed to put down something and turned to look at her daughter.

"I am leaving too, just like my brother, Koos, the god of lightless celestial bodies. I will find a place of my own to live in seclusion, or take a look at the earth and the underworld, which I rarely set foot on."

"The moon should have been yours. I have occupied it for too long. From now on, I will return her to you. Your brother has his own place, and your sister probably doesn't need you to worry."

Helios is more or less a sun god. As for the dawn goddess Eos, as the mother goddess of the star gods, she will not be homeless.

"What?" She was suddenly shocked. Although Selene didn't like the feeling of her place being taken over by others, she didn't want to leave after Theia.

In any case, as the mother of light with powerful divine power, Theia's existence itself is a deterrent, even if she doesn't actually need this kind of deterrence now.

"But mother——"

"listen to me."

Waving her hand to stop the Moon Goddess, Theia rarely looked at her daughter squarely.

In the past, because she did not hold part of the priesthood of the [Sun] like her eldest son, nor did she have as many contacts as the second daughter Eos, she somewhat neglected Selene.

But looking at it now, maybe she is the one who will have the best life in the future.

"I heard that you once had a good relationship with a 'wizard' named Hecate? Is she the one who just became a god?"

"Yes." Nodding, Selene didn't know why her mother suddenly asked this.

"Nothing, that's good. She got the priesthood out of thin air. I don't know if it's what I thought, but even if it's not, there must be other people behind her."

"Only they are the real masters of the world."

After pondering for a moment, Theia finally warned her daughter.

"I want you to remember, Selene—"

"Unless there is a truly great person standing behind you in the future, never have anything to do with an existence like the God King again. In the face of absolute power, those calculations are simply a joke."

Perhaps because of the clarity of the bystander, Theia vaguely realized that there was definitely something wrong with that 'god king'.

After personally experiencing two changes in the throne, the Mother of Light has gradually come to understand. The seemingly glamorous throne is actually not a good thing.

But no matter who was behind it, it had nothing to do with her. Fighting for power and profit cannot help her reach that level, and if she cannot become a great divine power, the rights she possesses are just in vain.

Since it is a bubble, there is nothing to miss. [Light] is also different from [Sun] in that she is actually not very keen on power.

Being an ancient god who controls light may be more respectable than her who controls part of the starry sky.

······

The gods who were watching the changes had their own reactions, and more than one true god chose to avoid it.

But on the earth, since the sun set in the east and the world has only passed for a short while, hundreds of millions of creatures have been wiped out, and even the souls have been burned away at the core of the sun's fall.

After all, souls will die. Although they exist longer than the body and can avoid some material harm, there is still no difference in front of the sun itself.

The laws of the present world were faintly shaking, and almost instantly, the aura of the God-King's authority on 'Cronos' suddenly dropped. At the same time, a sense of depression also enveloped the hearts of all living gods. But maybe it’s because the change of era is not over yet, and substantial changes have not yet occurred.

But the changes in the world still await the succession of the new king. In Tartarus, in the distorted time and space, a creation that lasted for nine months has come to an end.

···

"It's over. Is this what it feels like to control the world?"

At the core of the abyss, in the new interface, Cronus's voice came from the ninth layer of the world.

As the nine-layer interface gradually took shape, under certain influences, wonderful changes also occurred in the abyss.

Some matter began to be born here, but unlike the artificially created world, because there were no gods who fully belonged to the abyss at this time, this change was extremely slow.

It may take a long time before these materials can come together to form a structure similar to 'earth'.

Maybe one day, this place will become the first small realm under the abyss system and be connected to the nine realms opened by Cronus.

"The status of great divine power, even if it has just been opened up, I have already felt a trace of power belonging to that level. Ryan, no wonder you are always so arrogant."

Far from being comparable to Ryan's seven-day creation, although Cronus also gained enough power, his control of that source power was not smooth, and he had to consider the 30% that did not belong to him, so even though he used It took dozens of times to go to Lane, but the new world is still not as good as the newborn spiritual world.

Fortunately, although it still looks desolate and broken, and there is no life, the image of the nine-layer world is already vaguely visible. As soon as it was born, it greedily absorbed the power of the abyss, taking advantage of the last moments before the birth of the Demon Mother to strengthen itself.

After all, after losing this opportunity, it will never be so easy to absorb the power of Tartarus in the future.

"Arrogant? So in your eyes, my image has always been like this?"

Outside the Nine Realms, Ryan's incarnation can feel that 30% of his source power has turned into the foundation of the third, fifth, and seventh layers of the new world.

As for Cronus, he divided the 70% of his power into six parts. Except for the ninth layer of the interface, which was built with 20% of the power, there was not much difference between the other five layers.

After all, the new Nine Realms are not like the spiritual world in that they have a central axis running through the interface. Therefore, in order to maintain stability, Cronus chose to make the ninth-level interface more ‘heavy’.

"Arrogant people cannot notice it themselves. Ryan, you are not aware of it yourself, but I can always feel the spiritual contempt you have when you look at other gods. Not even the Earth Mother can make you Take a high look.”

Outside the interface, first a white snake shadow emerged from the Nine Realms, which looked like an enlarged version of the previous source of order. The next moment, the snake shadow condensed into a human body, and once again, Cronus appeared in the world as a god.

It's just that he is completely different from what he was before, and he can't see what he was like in the past. If he hadn't witnessed everything happening with his own eyes, it would have been difficult for Ryan to connect the thin, black-haired and blood-eyed god in front of him with the previous god king.

No matter how you look at it, from temperament to strength, there is not the slightest similarity between the two sides.

"Yeah, maybe. But since you can't feel it, it's hard to talk about correcting it."

After sizing up Cronus' new image, Ryan said calmly:

"It's almost there. The new world has taken shape. What's left is like my spiritual world, which has to be slowly accumulated over time."

"What about the artifact?" Cronus asked, "I remember you seem to have more than one artifact."

The former God King still remembers Ryan's artifact. Especially the [Creation Code], when he was the God King, this artifact fit him perfectly. Now as the Lord of the World, he once again realized how important an artifact with [Order] and [Law] as its core was.

If possible, he also planned to make one, even if it was weaker than Ryan's.

"As for the artifact, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do now. The [Order] in the abyss is like my [Spirituality]. It has become the foundation of the world, and it will not form an artifact. You are not like me. When you open the interface, you have It’s an extra source of investment, so unless you’re just going to make something that has little use, it’s not necessary at all.”

"In contrast, the new world still needs some life."

Shaking his head slightly, Ryan could clearly see that the corners of Cronus' mouth moved.

After all, the so-called extra origins, Kronos' former power of time and space, are one of them. One of them is still gestating, and the other has turned into a special mirror.

Turning around to face the new world, it could no longer be directly observed. Only a portal in the concept of time and space was temporarily opened above the body of Moya, the Mother of Demons, swallowing the power gathered from the abyss.

A trace of the origin is absorbed by the nine realms, but the speed is different. The ninth layer of the world where Cronus has devoted more power is obviously much faster than the other eight layers of the interface, and Ryan's third layer is faster than the other five layers.

This is the gap in practice. After all, Ryan has an era of experience in swallowing and digesting source power.

At this point, theoretically, creation has ended, but the generation of a new world still requires a crucial step. Just like the life on the earth, there should be a life of its own here.

Life is not necessary for the world, but it is an indispensable part of the perfection of the world. What's more, the silver human soul belt has been brought, so there is no need to take it back.

Originally, they were used in the abyss. Ryan can help Cronus complete his transformation by observing their reactions when combined with the power of the abyss. Even after the transformation is completed, the lives transformed by these souls can also serve as his influence on the tower after he becomes the 'King of the Abyss'. Altaros' contribution.

But now, let them become residents of the new world. Maybe among them, there will be a few lucky ones promoted by Cronus to god-like existences. As for Ryan's three-layer world, he has other plans.

"Kronus, these souls are my gift to congratulate you on your success."

Smiling slightly, feeling the vague longing coming from the world in front of him, Ryan mixed the silver human soul with the well water of the [Well of Eternity] and threw it into the new world.

So in the new world, these souls were instantly accepted, decomposed, transformed, and reshaped by the world, and then were given bodies by the world and transformed into life in another form.

However, perhaps because of their connection with the abyss, they have no resemblance to what they looked like in life. Instead, they look ferocious and evil, varying in strength depending on their strength.

"Um--?!"

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ryan seemed to notice something, and so did Cronus beside him. In the process of soul transformation, a strange power was revealed. It was only slightly disturbed and was swallowed up and digested by the new interface with almost no resistance.

The new nine-layer interface thus gained a trace of authority belonging to the [darkness]. This seemed to be a good thing, but both of them sensed that at that moment, a message was transmitted along the invisible connection. That is the connection between source power and its master. It will be delayed by the abyss, but it cannot be blocked.

After all, although there was a gap between his master and Abyss, there was no physical suppression.

"What is going on? Darkness, is it the original god?"

There was no anger, or in other words, Cronus didn't really care whether his method of opening up the world was leaked or not. There is no room for a second world in the abyss. Even if it is exposed, there will be no room for others to use it.

But the incident itself is very interesting. After all, it seems that Ryan did not discover all this in advance.

".Yes, it's Erebus and Gaia."

After a moment of silence, Ryan slowly spoke.

"Oh, I was wondering before why this dark lord is so quiet, it turns out that's the case. You are right, Cronus, I am a bit arrogant."

Almost the moment he saw the source of darkness, Ryan understood the cause and effect. Gaia created humans, and darkness itself symbolizes secrets, so even if he brought these souls with him, Ryan, who did not take the initiative to check them, did not find any problems at all.

It’s just that the other party should have targeted the spiritual world at first, but they didn’t want to end up targeting Cronus’ new world.

"He came for me. I actually knew a long time ago that he might not believe what I said, but I really didn't expect that he would use this method to secretly cheat Chen Cang."

"Smuggling souls is indeed a good way."

After gradually calming down, Ryan was not very angry. After all, what the other party obtained was actually harmless to him. Instead, Erebus did teach him a lesson.

"The Lord of Darkness, there is nothing I can do against him now. This primitive god who is rarely born does not have any flaws."

Facing Cronus's gaze, Ryan shook his head: "But Gaia is different."

"She once gave me a branch of a golden apple tree as a gift, but now I see that the gift is just an appearance, and these in the soul are the real 'gifts'."

"If this is the case, then I will always return the gift as it is."
