Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

"Do you have any other solutions to the matter of supporting the sky?"

In hell, the incarnation of Asmodeus asked next to the sapling that had grown to half a man's height in a short period of time.

He came here because of Hypnos' incident. A long time ago, Ryan had already said that he would send a lord to the third level of hell to resist the abyss together with Cleos. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, neither he nor the Lord of the Nine Hells would be able to personally intervene in the future. This war between two realms.

As the founder of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus naturally needs to mobilize the power of the interface to resist the pressure of the abyss itself. Compared to Tartarus, the new Nine Hells are still too weak. And the World Serpent may not be able to take action. He also has to deal with Moya, the mother of demons who gave birth to many demon gods.

After all, it is impossible for the incarnation to mobilize the power of the spiritual world to fight against itself in the body of another primitive god, so with only the blessing of the three levels of hell, he cannot sweep them all.

Fortunately, the new god's strength is not weak, and he is still strong enough to fight if he occupies a favorable location.

"I know what you want to say, but this is not a question of erecting a few more pillars on the Western Sea."

"The sky has both actual weight and conceptual 'weight'. The copper pillars can share the actual weight, but the conceptual weight can only be solved by the symbol of three points, which cannot be replaced by pure quantity. "

Standing next to the Lord of Nine Hells, Ryan's figure was a bit unreal.

If you want to take it, you must first give it. The nourishment that can make the sacred tree grow is naturally the power of the world itself. Now, its first main root is rooted at the root of the atrium, greedily absorbing power.

Of course, this was just an extravagant move to rejuvenate the saplings at the beginning. Later, whether it was the Oath-Keeping Tree named 'Nordrassil' by Ryan, or the 'Fountain of Leonor', Everyone will have their own way of growing up.

"What about refining a divine weapon?"

As soon as his thoughts changed, Asmodeus thought of another solution.

In many cases, artifacts can exercise authority on behalf of gods. Since a solar chariot has been built before, it may not be impossible to imitate it again now.

"That's okay, but the artifact that supports the sky must also have authority related to carrying it, such as [Mountain], and [Strength]."

Shaking his head, Ryan said lightly:

"If Atlas is willing to give up all his power and make it into an artifact to hold up the sky on his behalf, then I wouldn't mind helping you."

Although they said this, both Ryan and Asmodeus knew that the Sky Optimist would not accept such an ending of almost escaping in embarrassment.

In other words, if he really knew how to adapt, he would not refuse to surrender to Olympus. People with a strong will are often paranoid in some aspects, and this is the case with Atlas.

".If a single artifact requires the combination of authority, it may not be possible if the number is large enough."

There was a moment of silence, Asmodeus didn't know what he was thinking. Artifacts cannot be forged casually, but from what he said, it seems that there is a way to obtain the raw materials for forging more than one artifact.

"Of course, supporting the sky is not fighting against the sky itself, it is just lifting it up. Quantitative changes can still produce qualitative changes."

Nodding, Ryan smiled and said:

"But I do have another better way, which may take some time."

"Hmm? What do you want to do again?"

Hearing this, Asmodeus didn't seem very enthusiastic.

"It's not about doing anything, it's just because of a prophecy."

Ryan didn't take notice of the slightly cold attitude of the Lord of Nine Hells.

"prophecy?"

"Yes, prophecy."

Although the so-called prophecy has not been spoken for a long time, this time, it is actually a true prophecy. It's just that the prophet is not Ryan himself, but another being who has a special relationship with the former second-generation God King.

He tried to divine his future and indeed received a revelation of destiny, but he had no idea what this content meant. He asked his teacher for answers, and Ryan listened.

In fact, Ryan thought that because of his destruction of destiny, some things would never happen again, but now it seems that the power of destiny is still very strong. But no matter, he will continue to change it.

"I vaguely see that in the distant future, there will be a human being who has completed twelve feats that are unimaginable for mortal beings. His footsteps will spread all over the earth, the oceans and the underworld, and he will ascend to the throne of God. But unfortunately, , even though I saw this scene, I still don’t quite understand why he can do it.”

"So you want to get involved in this?"

Looking at Ryan, the Lord of Nine Hells asked calmly:

"Then why don't you do it yourself."

"I'll do it too."

Shaking his head, Ryan said lightly:

"It's just a single example. I need samples from different angles to let me see clearly what he gained behind this so-called 'great achievement'."

"You can participate or not. Anyway, this doesn't affect your plan to build the artifact, right?"

". Let's talk about it then. Mephistopheles, humans, the human world, will take care of them for me. I have to say, at least as far as he is concerned, I see the wisdom of humans."

It is undoubtedly unwise to place hope on an illusory future, so Asmodeus only paid a little attention to it and did not have much expectations in return.

Especially the prophecy. After personally experiencing the horror of fate, the Lord of Nine Hells somewhat stayed away from it.

······

On the earth, in the blink of an eye, the sun and the moon alternated several times, and the tide in the eastern part of the continent rose higher and higher.

The low mountain peaks were submerged and the rivers were either widened or rerouted; the heavy rains continued as if there was no end.

But amidst the rolling waves, there was a small exception, which was a simple raft. The tide stopped around it, and the alien beast stayed far away from its presence. It just drifted with the current in the flood, carrying the two people above it and wandering aimlessly.

There is no drinking water on the raft because the heavy rain from the sky has avoided it, and the water in the sea is not drinkable; there is no food on the raft, because the birds in the sky have drowned in the water due to exhaustion, and this tide violates the laws of nature. No fish or shrimp can survive in it.

Fortunately, the two people on the raft were not ordinary people. They were the children of gods. Although the divinity contained in their bodies was almost nonexistent, making them no more powerful than mortals, this ultimately saved them from hunger and thirst. die.

So a few days passed while wandering. The seawater seemed to be decreasing. On this day, due to an unexpected collision, the raft docked on an unknown mountain peak.

Fighting back their fatigue, Deucalion and Pyrrha climbed up to the only land they encountered during their wandering, but when they reached the top of the mountain, they saw an incredible scene.

With this mountain peak as the dividing line, the sea water suddenly stopped, as if some invisible force had isolated this place. One side of the mountain is a vast plain, and not a drop of sea water flows there, while the other side is an endless wave, constantly beating the mountain, causing a loud rumble.

It can be vaguely seen that there are some unnatural creations on the plains.

".This is the Parnassus Mountains. Have we been drifting for so long?"

Finally identifying his whereabouts, Deucalion was still shocked despite his embarrassment.

He had heard about this place and even seen images of it. This was what his father Prometheus told him. Originally, this was just a myth and legend to him. Until today, he stood here in person, looking at this ancient territory from a distance.

Perhaps it is this kind of place that can stop the monstrous floods, because this is the location of the Great Temple of Delphi and the place where the Earth Mother sleeps. The Golden and Silver Ages began here, and it witnessed the history of the Second Age. This is an extraordinary holy place.

"No matter what, we survived."

After recovering from the shock, his mind changed from tense to relaxed. Deucalion smiled bitterly, his father was captured, and he could only live with his uncle's family, but not long ago, Epimetheus and Pandora left without saying goodbye.

When he and Pyrrha returned to the residence with the garden, they were alone. They were confused for a while, but just when Deucalion had just accepted all this, the flood came again.

Now, the forgotten tiredness came to his heart, and he sat on the ground without any image. Beside him, Pyrrha had already leaned on a boulder on the top of the mountain.

Looking at the tide cut off by the mountains, Deucalion was a little at a loss. Under the disaster, all souls were wiped out. Even if the flood receded, how would he and Pyrrha survive?

However, just as he was thinking, a thin and hesitant voice came from beside him.

"It came true"

"What did you say come true?"

Deucalion turned to look, and it turned out that Pyrrha beside him was mumbling to himself. The girl encountered such a disaster not long after she left her parents, which made her extremely insecure.

"Disaster. My father once said before that one day, the Divine Court will bring disaster to destroy the Bronze Humans and all traces of their existence. I always thought these were words he used to scare me, but now - "

Looking at everything in front of her, Pyrrha looked a little pale.

"What?"

Deucalion still knew about his uncle Epimetheus. He is famous among the gods for his stupidity, but now it seems that he has foreseen this disaster a long time ago?

Maybe it's an accident. It's better to be an accident. Deucalion comforted himself that it was not that he could not accept that Epimetheus was not stupid, but that he thought of more.

If the other party had known for a long time that humans would be destroyed, does that mean that this disaster had actually been planned by the gods, and whether it was bronze humans or mortal things on the earth, even he and Pyrrha were just insignificant victims? and chess pieces.

If this is true, it means that they are actually still in danger, and the danger of death is never far away.

"Did he say anything else?"

After calming down, Deucalion asked again. Hearing his words, Pyrrha was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"He seems to have said that Your Highness Themis is the God of Justice and the embodiment of justice. If one day we encounter an irresistible disaster, we may be able to ask for her help, because she is the most trustworthy among the gods."

".Most trustworthy?"

Her heart sank again. Under the protection of her parents, Pyrrha had never encountered hardship in the past, so she was not sensitive to these, but Deucalion heard the meaning behind the words.

Why look to the most trustworthy god to ask for help when others are not worthy of belief. Maybe his guess was right. The real danger for him and Pyrrha had not yet come. Only the witness of the Lord of the Law could avoid the worst outcome.

"Then do it, Pyrrha, believe your father, the words he gave you must be useful."

Deucalion said with a forced smile.

"good."

Pyrrha, who had long since lost her opinion, nodded immediately. She and Deucalion knelt on the ground and began to pray silently.

"Themis, the goddess revered by all souls and illuminating all directions, your thoughts are always pure, and your judgments are absolutely true."

"Please listen to me:"

"The earth has lost its life, and we are the only ones left in the world. I have lost my direction on the way forward, and I ask you to guide me."

Her voice was not loud, but when she was near the oracle, a place where all the gods had left their mark, her voice was conveyed. For a long time, just when Pyrrha thought that the goddess didn't want to pay attention to her, a voice sounded in her heart.

"I understand. Just wait where you are, descendants of Iapitus. The guidance you need will arrive soon."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Pyrrha couldn't help but laugh, and beside her, Deucalion's eyes flashed with a look of surviving the disaster.

The wisdom inherited from his father was particularly effective in difficult situations, and during the prayer, Deucalion vaguely guessed something.

They survived the disaster like a joke. All the alien beasts that were more powerful than them were devoured by the sea monsters. Only he and Pyrrha were unscathed. This is by no means a kindness of the gods, but because they are still useful.

But just because it's useful now, doesn't mean it'll always be useful. The existence of the Goddess of Justice may allow them to escape disaster when they are 'useless'.

After all, they are not gods, and weak beings like them can be easily wiped out by the gods because they find it troublesome. Naturally, they can also be spared because of the attitude of another god.

As for their own attitudes, no one cares about these, just like no one cares about the mortal things that died under the flood.

Human beings still got attention at least, but the gods didn't even bother to take a look at the rest of the lives.

Squeak————

--boom

On Mount Olympus, the gate of the temple slowly closed. The gods took their seats one after another, but the atmosphere became even weirder.

The Oceanus couple had already left. Although Zeus invited them to the banquet out of politeness, neither Oceanus nor Thesis had any intention of making themselves uncomfortable.

After today, the originally harmonious relationship between the two parties was no longer what it used to be, but Oceanus and his wife didn't care. Zeus's ruthlessness towards Metis has allowed them to understand the nature of the new god king. For him, interests are obviously much more important than so-called feelings.

In this case, there is no need for them to maintain this superficial relationship.

On the other hand, facing the adoptive parents who had a reputation as teachers and were threatening, the God King finally compromised.

He did not give up his rights over the ocean, even if he did not actually want to protect Poseidon's interests. But no matter what he thought in his heart, Zeus had to allow the Oceanic God System to interfere with his faith, even though the threat to him was extremely huge.

The river gods and lake gods of the Ocean God system are all over the earth. Although after several wars, most of the newly born rivers in the world today do not have corresponding regional gods, but they still have many descendants. Zeus could almost foresee that his adoptive father could use this to spread his influence to new humans.

But he still did it, because if he chose to give up Poseidon first, not to mention how many gods would stand with him in the huge Olympus, Hades alone would be far away in the underworld. Completely no longer have any contact with him. And this time, Hestia will probably never side with Zeus.

So even though he had strong objections to Poseidon, Zeus still rejected another request of the original water goddess, and then ate the bitter pill alone.

"It's really unsettling. I thought the God King was telling the truth."

Sitting in her seat, Aphrodite held her chin up, her bright face as charming and enchanting as ever, but compared to the smile on her face, the thoughts in her heart were completely opposite.

Originally, the God of Beauty thought that the God King was so powerful, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

"This is normal. Except for the first generation of god-kings, there has never been a king who truly ruled the world. Although Zeus discovered faith, I actually don't think very highly of him."

After being confused for a moment by the charm that the God of Beauty unintentionally showed, the God of the Sun actually whispered in agreement. But he quickly reacted and looked up at the God King above him.

Fortunately, I don't know if he didn't hear it, but Zeus didn't seem to look in his direction.

"Well, the matter is over. In any case, the old humanity has been destroyed."

On the throne, Zeus seemed to sense the wavering of people's hearts, and said in a deep voice:

"Now that all is said and done, it's time to begin a new era."

"Zeferos."

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders."

Standing up from his position, Fengshen took orders respectfully as always.

"When the waters of the world recede, you go find the children of Prometheus and Epimetheus, and use their hands to give birth to new humans. But remember-"

Staring at the God of West Wind, the God King said calmly:

"The new humans don't need guidance. Let them complete their initial understanding of the world on their own. The land after the flood will not be so dangerous in a short period of time. They will not suffer heavy casualties, but they will be able to realize the difficulty of survival."

"Your Majesty, where are Deucalion and Pyrrha?"

In response to the compliment, Zeferos asked again.

"They. Humanity doesn't need them. Humanity only needs the gods."

After hesitating for a moment, Zeus finally gave an ambiguous answer. But looking at the God of the West Wind who understood it, he believed that the other party would know what to do.

Nodding in response, Zeferos turned into the wind and left, and the hall became quiet again. But this time, Zeus could see that they were more focused.

Compared with the fact that the God King was frustrated in front of Ocean God, their immediate interests were more important to them. But before that, there is a little thing to deal with.

"Poseidon, my noble brother,"

A smile finally appeared on his face, and Zeus felt the depression in his heart relieved a little:

"I wonder if you still remember the bet you proposed before?"
