Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Sitting on the stone chairs, the three Ryans just looked at the round mirror in front of them, how Prometheus and his human students deceived the gods.

I have to say that in terms of execution alone, the Illuminati is still very good.

He knows how to avoid risks, knows how to test, and knows how to keep secrets. This is a rare ability among the gods. Ryan could almost foresee that if he were a human being rather than a god, he would be able to spend most of his life safely with this, and then laugh at the god's ignorance when facing death, but he did not see through his little trick.

But he is a god, which shows that his actions are not smart at all. He is destined to be punished some day in the future, whether it is near or far.

"Your brother is coming back."

Putting away this high-level artifact that contained the authority of [Space], Ryan glanced at Epimetheus on the side and said goodbye.

"But rest assured, we are keeping a tight lid on anything we see today."

It has to be said that when divine power cannot be used, the effects of these artifacts are greatly magnified.

"Then I won't give it away."

Looking at the two people who were about to leave, Epimetheus hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"However, this strange Highness, in your opinion, how will the God King punish my brother in the future?"

Two strange gods that he had never seen before. Maybe the other party comes from the underworld, maybe from the starry sky, or from the depths of the spiritual world, but the fact that they can appear here by such a coincidence undoubtedly proves that they are anything but ordinary.

"Well, I guess. He wouldn't punish Prometheus."

With a slight smile, Ryan looked at Lyanna beside him.

"Tell me, why is this?"

"."

Suddenly faced with a problem, Lyanna thought for a while. She was not very good at this, but she still said tentatively:

"Because Prometheus is still useful?"

"No." Ryan shook his head: "When he created humans and passed on the knowledge of the previous era, it was no longer valuable."

"Even for the 'wisdom' that he is proud of, the God King has other ways to achieve this besides consuming more divine power."

".Is that because of consideration for his identity?"

Lyanna second guessed.

"That's not right." Ryan also objected again: "The status and power of Titan God Iapitus have never been high, so how could Zeus be afraid of him."

"Besides his father, Prometheus's wife is just an ocean goddess who is even weaker than him. The only powerful brother is still holding up the sky in the west."

"."

Lyanna fell silent. She has always been a good executor and can do everything Ryan asks her to do, but this does not mean that she is good at thinking about these things.

Shaking his head, Ryan looked at Epimetheus, who had raised the question in the first place.

"What do you think, the god of hindsight?"

"Maybe it's because my brother hasn't offended enough and humans haven't made enough mistakes."

Following the previous conversation with Lyanna, this famous fool seemed to have understood something.

"The King of Gods wants to deal with my brother once and for all, the creator of bronze humans, instead of just punishing him. He has the merit of creating humans, and even if he deceived the gods, it has not affected the faith of humans after all. , so the God King cannot punish him too much, otherwise it will affect his prestige."

Sighing, the foolish fool figured out the cause and effect. He felt the rising divine power in himself. As the gods who created mankind together with Prometheus, the two of them actually had more faith than Zeus.

So not only his brother, but also himself must bring some disasters to mankind.

"Thank you for your wisdom, strange god. I wonder if I am lucky enough to know your name."

Epimetheus asked as he stood up and bowed slightly.

However, opposite him, Ryan rejected him.

"No need, to be honest, I don't really like you."

Standing up, Ryan could vaguely see the approaching figure of Prometheus.

"If your brother is confident in his own intelligence and always does things he shouldn't do, then you are just the opposite. You can obviously change something, but you don't want to change at all."

"I have nothing to blame you, because this is the difference in one's attitude towards the world. But a god like you may be able to live alone, but it is definitely not the kind of life I need, the kind of life that can accomplish extraordinary achievements."

Shaking his head slightly, Ryan greeted Lyanna, then turned and left. Behind him, Epimetheus seemed to want to say something, but ultimately did not say it.

As this strange god said, in the past, he seemed to have advised Prometheus and Atlas, but in fact it was just a formality.

"Everything is not done yet, but destiny is waiting for it" is the most perfect portrayal of him. Perhaps because he felt that his abilities were limited and he could not change these things, he simply chose to go with the flow and just save himself.

"well--"

Sighing, Epimetheus leaned back on the chair and continued to daze.

·········

"It's so hard to understand, but so logical."

Walking on the compacted dirt road, Ryan felt a little emotional.

He was very confused at first as to why Prometheus would do such a thing. Could it be that the Illuminati never thought that a god would suddenly come to the mortal world to witness the sacrifices of mortals in person?

But later, when Ryan thought about it carefully, he felt that the gods and humans of Khaos seemed to be like this.

The fire thief who deceived the king of gods, the king who killed his son and feasted on the gods, and the mortals who openly claimed that their skills were superior to the gods. These people or gods are not isolated cases, but are common.

It seems that these beings with some wisdom like to prove themselves by provoking authority, and then be used as negative teaching materials to show the greatness of the superiors.

"And my old friends, it seems they can't sit still."

After thinking about it slightly, in Ryan's perception, in addition to the gods of Olympus, there were also some people who had different reactions with the birth of bronze humans.

For example, by following the perception that ignores distance under spiritual authority, Ryan can detect that his special incarnation has been touched. Obviously, a certain remnant of the old era has also become interested in the new human beings, or in other words, their souls. Now he wants to test Ryan's attitude.

Another example is that in the spirit world, a 'good boy' who has been obedient for many years is also quietly doing some tricks of his own.

It’s just that he probably doesn’t know that just because the angels in the spirit world call Ryan ‘Your Highness’, it doesn’t mean that he is really two entities from the spirit world itself. It can only be said that because he was born not early enough, it did cause a lot of misunderstandings to the other party.

"So, Lyanna, you are still very good."

Nodding, Ryan suddenly praised.

"ah?"

She didn't know why she was praised, Lyanna was a little confused, but she still felt very happy.

"I will trust you as always, Your Highness."

"haha okay."

With a chuckle, Ryan responded. Under the influence of [Secret], the two of them passed by Prometheus who was returning in a hurry.

This enlightened wise man had already seen his younger brother who was waiting in the distance. He walked towards him with a smile on his face, without noticing that right next to him, the two ancient gods had just passed by and then merged into the room where the sacrifice was over. And among the scattered crowds.

He just tilted his head, feeling as if he had missed something, and immediately attributed it to an illusion.

······

Since the first deception of the gods, the office of 'priest' has been born among the bronze humans.

In the past, bronze humans' sacrifices to gods were completed by individuals, but now, priests appointed by the Creator have taken over this responsibility, and they only need to offer sufficient tribute.

The bronze humans were very satisfied with this, because the priests saved them time, and often gave food or other things on behalf of the gods; the gods were also very satisfied with this, because the unified sacrifices performed by the priests undoubtedly saved them money. Time and energy.

The priests were also very satisfied, because they no longer had to work, as long as they kept the common secret. Although some of them were still a little worried, fearing that one day the gods would discover the truth, no one expressed any objection in the end.

So starting from this year, under the operation of the priests, the bronze humans began to reduce the offerings to the gods in various ways, but on the surface, there were more and more sacrifices. At the same time, because ordinary humans do not know the secrets, their belief in gods has not changed drastically.

Therefore, human life becomes better and better, and God’s blessings never cease. The priests couldn't help but lament the wisdom of the Creator. It was just a simple trick, relying on the gods' contempt for mortal things, but the effect was repeated.

A few more years passed like this. Until this day, maybe it was the previous admonition of the goddess of justice, or maybe it was the spontaneous warning of the god king. In short, on Mount Olympus, Zeus suddenly announced that he would hold a marriage with his sister, the fertility goddess Hera.

This will be witnessed by the Lord of Justice and Law, who will share authority with the new Queen of Heaven in the name of the King of God, even the thunder he controls will be no exception.

······

The relationship between the God King and his sister is not without warning. In fact, in recent times, if it were not for the unexpected discovery of his faith, the God King's emotional problems would be the most concerned thing among the gods.

In recent years, as the throne has become increasingly stable, Zeus has gradually become less worried than in the past. He began to do things according to his own heart and wandered between more than one goddess. So although it was surprising for him to suddenly announce his marriage to Hera, it was not that difficult to accept.

In comparison, it was the promise made by the God King that surprised the gods even more.

"Under my witness, you will share your divine power with each other. No matter how the future changes, this oath will remain unchanged."

In the hall of Mount Olympus, standing above, the goddess of law held the [Golden Scale] in her hand and said with a serious face.

Different from the past, at the request of Zeus, the authority of the God King is now added to the artifact, and combined with the vast divine power of Themis, this artifact that measures all things can unleash unprecedented capabilities.

At this moment, as the goddess spoke, an invisible force extended from both ends of the scale and connected to the two gods in front of her.

One is the king of the gods, and the other is naturally his sister. Hera wore golden shoes and a golden crown decorated with lilies on her head. Her long hair hung down from the left and right sides of the golden crown and fell on her exposed arms.

In later generations, the name "White-armed Hera" was widely circulated, and was as well-known as the cruel and jealous name of the Queen of Heaven. But now, she is still a young goddess immersed in the beauty of marriage.

"Yes, I am willing to do so in your presence."

Nodding, the golden crown swayed, and when Hera's voice fell, a mysterious force followed the invisible connection and placed her 'fertility' divine right on one side of the scale.

"Of course, just judge, in your witness, I will share my authority with my future queen."

He also agreed, and when the God King released his restrictions, his 'royal power' and 'thunder' authority were linked to each other and placed on the other side of the scale.

In an instant, the [Golden Scale] swayed, and the side belonging to Zeus obviously sank. The God-King obviously had more than Hera, so after a moment, it justly returned the excess to its owner until it returned to a balanced position.

"In this case, I wish your marriage will last forever."

The voice was not loud, but the words of the Goddess of Law seemed to have a kind of power, resonating with the authority of the God King and God Queen, and then turned into new laws.

This is more of a ‘provision’ than a blessing. When the Queen of Gods, who was in charge of fertility, returned to her throne, the order of 'marriage' was also perfected. It had no power, but the act of sharing authority between the God King and God Queen gave it strength.

From now on, marriage will allow couples to have a connection, rather than just a name as in the past. They will influence each other, but the weaker one will be subordinate to the stronger one.

Following Themis' announcement, the authorities on both sides of the scale overlapped, then split into two and flew towards their respective masters.

This is similar to the act of seconding a priest from a god, but it is not quite the same, because there is no priority between the two gods. This was a great undertaking accomplished with the help of the special authority of the God King and God Queen. From then on, Zeus could also touch 'fertility', and Hera could also control 'Thunder'.

The gods present were surprised by the deep affection of the God King. They couldn't help but sigh. Although Zeus was romantic, he probably had true love for Hera. Only the goddess of law, who presided over all this, noticed the clues.

His nephew is not that kind of person. He is willing to share part of his authority. It can only be because he has gained more.

Thinking of this, Themis was somewhat comforted.

If it can be artificially influenced, that might not be a good thing. At least this way, it might be possible to cut off the blood-and-blood relationship between the God King and his children.

With a clear cry, the Queen of Gods completely returned to her position. Hera's still somewhat immature cheeks scanned the gods arrogantly, especially staying on those goddesses for a long time.

She knew that Zeus had had relationships with other goddesses, such as Leto in black, but now she didn't care. Zeus shared his authority equally with himself, which was more important to a god-king than anything else.

"Huh? That is."

Just as he was preparing to commemorate this day with a grand banquet, Zeus suddenly looked east.

"New gods?"

There was a faint reaction to his authority as the God-King, which seemed to be related to another God-King in the past. With just a little guessing, Zeus locked onto his only target. Uranus, the blood that gave birth to the three goddesses of vengeance was about to give birth to a new god. This was something he had known for a long time.

"Zeferos, the incarnation of the west wind."

So standing on the high platform, Zeus smiled and said:

"On the sea in the east, because of my marriage to Hera, a new god is about to appear. Please invite her to Mount Olympus, she deserves a place here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He bowed and saluted. Although he was a little dissatisfied that he had to run errands on such a day, Zeferos did not show it. He turned into an invisible air current and headed east, and behind him, Zeus announced the start of the banquet.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

At the wedding feast of the God-King, the gods began to feast. But in a remote part of the temple, a goddess surrounded by three goddesses looked ferocious at some point.

Her hands were firmly embedded in her flesh, and anger boiled in her heart as she looked at the new queen being held in high esteem by the stars.

Of course, there is also fear and trepidation.

".nothing."

With a forced smile, Ceto was actually mentally prepared for Hera to become the Queen of Heaven, and she was not angry because of it.

After all, although she once tempted the God King when he traveled to and from the sea, this former mother of sea monsters knew very well that with her divine power and authority, it was impossible to become the God Queen.

But she had suppressed the jealousy in her heart, but just now, besides the God King, she was the only person present who knew who the new god was.

The embodiment of love and beauty, Aphrodite was born from the blood of the god Ouranos. She came to the world because the goddess in charge of fertility took the position of queen of the gods. At the moment when the other party was born, Ceto could feel that the divine power of 'beauty' he had stolen was trembling slightly.

She didn't know that if it hadn't been for Ryan, if it hadn't been for the symbol of 'uncertain fate' who had said it himself, with the stability of her destiny thousands of years ago, she wouldn't have been able to obtain the twisted divine power even if she drank the divine blood. All she knew was that her nemesis was coming.

Just as she had always worried, all the gods would be deceived by her 'false disguised beauty', but only the true God of Beauty would not. Aphrodite only needs to wave slightly, and others can see her true side through the disguise.

If other gods or even god kings were to see her true appearance, Ceto could already foresee her own end. Zeus was not his brother. He was at most interested in normal life, not half-human, half-monster existence.

"I feel a little uncomfortable. Do you want to leave with me?"

Keto asked as he looked at the three vengeance goddesses beside him.

The three goddesses were hesitant. Thousands of years of getting along have allowed them to understand each other, and they immediately understood that the 'leaving' mentioned by the other party was not just for a while.

But they were reluctant to leave Olympus, and in the end, only Megara, the goddess of jealousy, agreed.

Because Keto's twisted theocratic power was inherently mixed with the power of jealousy, the attraction between theocratic powers made them naturally close.

No one noticed their departure, and Ceto left Olympus with Megaira. But standing between heaven and earth, she felt like she had nowhere to go.

She doesn't want to live in isolation, she enjoys the crowd and the food, but where else can she be satisfied in Olympus?

"If the God-King of Olympus cannot tolerate you, why not join us?"

"who!"

With a sharp shout, Ketuo turned around suddenly. The visitor did not hide her traces. Behind her, a handsome young man was standing there.

"Who are you to say such things around the sacred mountain?"

With divine power running through his body, Ceto was ready to take action, but the stranger opposite didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.

His smile was very friendly, which made Ceto lower his guard a little. Looking at Olympus in the distance, the young man slowly said to Ceto:

"Don't worry, madam, my name is Mephistopheles, and our meeting today is just a coincidence."

"I'm not here for you, but for another purpose. But I think that due to an unexpected encounter with fate, maybe I can solve your troubles at the moment. But let's talk about the specific content on the way. , this place is still too close to Olympus.”

"To be honest, I haven't seen that god who prefers humans for a long time. Under his care, I don't know if the bronze humans are easy to attack."

Smiling, the young man who called himself Mephistopheles waved, then turned his back on Ceto and flew further east.

Looking at the opponent's back, Ketuo hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't take action and followed him.

Unless she hides in the depths of the underworld or the starry sky from now on, she will always have to deal with the beauty god, but Ceto does not want to go to those places.

The desolation of the underworld and the emptiness of the starry sky were known to all the gods. If she had no choice, she might just accept her fate. But now that I met such a guy unexpectedly, I was more or less willing to listen.
