Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Deep in the starry sky, as the two ancient gods left one after another, this remote place once again returned to its former silence.

Just like the edge of the world where the River of the World is located, the edge star field far away from the earth is usually uninhabited. But just as the edge of the sea is the domain of Oceanus, so is the edge of the stars.

So when a part of his domain was violently torn apart and reshaped, it finally attracted the attention of the owner of this place. After a long time, in a corner of the star sea, a subtle fluctuation was transmitted.

Two figures walked out one after another. One was a tall, middle-aged man with obvious muscle lines. He walked in front, observing the star field that had returned to its original state. Behind him, another woman wearing gorgeous clothes followed closely. Her whole body was dotted with various rare treasures, but there was a hint of depression between her eyebrows.

Under the gaze of the two Titan gods, everything here is very obvious. The surface of the starry sky has been repaired, but some deep-seated power is still spreading on another level. The belatedly arrived god slowly approached the battlefield, feeling the terrifying residual power.

Some kind of force seems to have permanently changed the laws here. From now on, this will become a 'silent' star field. No being below the true god can make or listen to any sound here.

At the same time, some kind of life seemed to be born. In those restored celestial bodies, intermittent thoughts were gradually born. They possess wisdom under the power of spirituality, but are influenced by the power of darkness.

Maybe this will give birth to a special kind of starry nymph, or it may be some kind of strange beast that wanders in the starry sky. But obviously, the two ancient gods who created all this did not take them seriously. Just like the divine-blooded beasts born in previous divine wars, they have never been noticed by the source of their bloodline.

"The great divine power... Compared with the Lord of Darkness, the [Darkness] I control is just the tip of the iceberg, or even just an extension. The lightless celestial body is just a manifestation of [Darkness], which is far from its essence. far away."

Sighing in a low voice at the power of the original god, the Titan turned to look at his wife.

Over the years, the other party never gave up trying to persuade him to leave Starry Sky, and the response he gave was just rejection again and again.

"You have seen it now, Fubai. This is the true power of those ancient gods, and it is also the reason why I am unwilling to go out... I know you have never wanted to stay in the silent starry sky, but only here can you avoid the troubles of the world. and danger.”

The sound was low and thick, like the heavy roar of stars in motion. Koos, the main god of the lightless celestial body, is one of the few gods in the world who has reached divine power level 20. He has not appeared in the world since the middle of the Second Age.

In other words, except for the marriage of his daughter Asteria, the goddess of the Ryusei Star, this powerful Titan god briefly stood on the side of the second-generation God King and intervened in the starry sky disputes, he has basically not been active in the world. Even that brief intervention ended in a hurry with the birth of Hecate.

Like his priesthood, Koos remained silent in the darkness. He sat and watched all the changes in the world, but never took any action.

But that's what he thought, but as the goddess of light, Fubai obviously didn't think so.

"Koos, I acknowledge the power of the Great One...but isn't that why I want you to do something?"

"Great people are not just born, and God the Father is not born great. He gave birth to us and then ascended the throne. He relied on the power he obtained through his own actions instead of waiting for authority to fall from the sky. There is also restraint Ronos, Ryan... they all took that step unknowingly, even Zeus now, if they can, why can't you?"

It was relatively calm at first, but as he spoke, Fubai's tone became a little high-pitched.

She is the main god of the light body, not some 'Mother of Silence' or 'Goddess of Cold Universe'. She doesn't like her current life at all. In the myths of later generations, Fubai even once had the title of 'Ancient Moon Goddess'. Compared to her silent husband, she was obviously not a quiet existence.

Perhaps in her original destiny, she had some kind of deep conflict with the moon god Selene. The God of Light tried to bring the moon under his jurisdiction to increase his authority, but the final result was just to give God King Zeus an extra lover.

Of course, the moon in this life did not have that power, and Fu Bai stopped looking at it. In comparison, it was the true Supreme Being with billions of light bodies that moved her more.

However, no matter what, that is something Fubo himself cannot do. Compared to Koos, her strength is more than a little bit behind.

"You know what I want. Wouldn't it be better for us to dominate the starry sky together? The true master of the sun, Hyperion, is no longer here... I said before, maybe you should do something. Let the starry sky return to your authority, or Wouldn’t it be nice to study the mysteries of faith like the gods of Olympus?”

"Three god kings and one ancient god who was born in the same generation as the original god cannot prove anything. That is their own specialness and the blessing of fate."

Shaking his head, just like every time in the past, Koos once again rejected his wife's request. Beside him, Fu Bai finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"So this is what you want, you just want to stay here forever, pray that no ancient gods notice you, and then spend eternity as if you were dead?"

The voice was a bit sharp, and Fubai couldn't understand. Although he had such good conditions and a power second only to the great divine power, why did his husband have no other thoughts and just wanted to stay in the cold and dead starry sky?

Even Oceanus knew how to try to unify the sea, but an era passed and Coos did nothing.

"No matter what you say, Fubai, I will stay here. In today's world, there is no chance for us..."

"If you don't want to stay, then just leave by yourself. I've never stopped you. That's it, I'll go back first."

With a calm voice, Koos took one last look at the starry sky. He didn't say anything more, just turned and left.

"you!"

Pointing at his departing husband, Fubai's arms trembled with intense emotion.

It was like this every time. Koos was never moved by her words, but Fubai didn't dare to let her leave on her own.

The power of the light body is too dispersed. When the moon is weakened, the sun itself occupies more than half of the light body. This makes Fubai far less powerful than other first-generation Titans. Although she has not fallen to the point of being as weak as the God of Speech and the God of Language and Letters, she has no ability to conquer the sun.

"You will regret this!"

In the end, the goddess just said a harsh word as always. She found a random celestial body to sit down, planning to go back after a while so that the other party could understand her anger.

Anyway, the lightless objects in the starry sky are the eyes and ears of Koos. Even if the other party is not here, she is not worried about encountering any unexpected situations. She had stayed in that quiet and boring place for too many years. If she could leave for a while, she would just leave for a while.

…

He didn't know that there had been an argument after he left. After casually repairing the edge of the starry sky, Ryan didn't stay any longer.

Compared with other primitive gods, the order of the world obviously takes special care of him as an 'outsider', and this is also the second time that Ryan has taken action in the world after the change of the era. Compared with last time, even though he had avoided the earth, the suppression of the invisible law was still higher by more than one level.

Of course, one hundred times one is only one hundred, and there is no difference for numbers in the tens of millions. But it has no impact now, which does not mean it will be the same in the future.

The third time, the fourth time... In the foreseeable future, every time he shows his power in this world, this kind of oppression from the world will become stronger. Until one day, just stepping out of the spiritual world, the order of the world will make it difficult for Ryan to move forward.

This is difficult to avoid, not only because of the changes in the laws after the change of the era, but also because of the increase in the spiritual world's body and the reason why Ryan began to carry the great personality. And the only way to end it is to have power that is equivalent to or even stronger than the current world.

But let’s not mention the difficulty of getting there. Even if it does get there, Ryan will have to face another problem. Suppressing the great divine power in this world has been done in a subtle way even before the third era. The most fundamental reason is actually easy to understand. The present world itself is only half a level higher than greatness. It is natural for him to suppress those ancient gods who walk in the world and have their own thoughts.

Any existence will be wary of things that may threaten itself, and the best way is to make it cease to exist. In contrast, the reason why the outside world does not behave similarly is simply due to the dominant nature of chaos. This is why a more powerful world tends to have more dominant order, because it may be rigid, but it does help maintain stability.

Not even just in the world, but also in the realm of mortals. The more stringent the law, the more unreasonable it is, but conversely, it can allow a certain order to be better extended and implemented.

So the questions that follow become clear. Once the volume of the spiritual world expands to a certain limit and truly reaches a situation equal to that of the real world, will Chaos, which is only "half a block higher" than the spiritual world at that time, produce something very big? The immediate reaction is something difficult to say.

Therefore, Ryan has been trying to use roundabout means to change the fate of this world in the past, because before, he actually had the intention to control the power at the peak of great power in the future, not to continue to grow, and then accumulated money through methods similar to investing in hell. With the extra strength, one day he will be able to reunite and make the ultimate leap. But looking at it now, this idea still seems too good. Perhaps for a well-run 'program', the only thing that can really solve its subject is violence.

Either external violence, internal violence, or both. In short, those methods that only touch the corners are meaningless actions.

"So if nothing happens, I'm going back. Do you have anything else to say?"

As different thoughts collided, Ryan stepped into the underworld, but when he felt the aura that was still following him, he couldn't help but ask.

The world is both big and small, at least for Nyx, the fight between Lion and Erebus is so obvious and present. So compared to Gaia's battle, which was obviously going to last for a long time, she decisively chose to come to the other side to watch the fun.

However, the excitement has now ended, and Nyx is still following him, and has no intention of hiding his presence. So it is obvious that the other party has something to say.

"You can ask directly. If you can answer, I won't hide it."

Smiling casually, Ryan looked aside.

"Now that you have said so...then what are you going to do at the end of this era?"

The secret was revealed, and a familiar figure stood in the moonlight. Nyx blinked his eyes behind the veil, and then asked his question directly.

"Um...why do you ask this? Do I have to do something?"

Shaking his head slightly, Ryan did not answer the question directly.

"Every day now, my strength is increasing. When life spreads to every corner of the world, the symbol of spirituality will rise spontaneously. I just need to wait quietly, and everything will come to me automatically. Maybe I It will only witness the arrival of the Fourth Age and the birth of the next God-King."

"It's impossible, you don't make that decision."

After a pause, Nyx slowly said:

"Because... there is no Fourth Age in this world, at least while I can still see the future, He doesn't have it yet."

Staring at Ryan in front of him, Nyx narrowed his eyes.

"Don't you want to tell me, or are you scared? I remember that in the last era, you didn't have the power you have now, but you still said in front of me that you would be the 'God King for a Day'."

"I saw your later performance, which was very interesting, but in this era... what are you going to do?"

"Or to be more precise, when is the end of your so-called era?"

The scene was quiet for a while, and Ryan was a little surprised when Nyx looked at him, but not that surprised.

There is no Fourth Era... What that means is probably not that the world will have no set destiny by that time, but that the world will be completely stable in the Third Era, and there will be no possibility of further changes.

"...I have to admit that I wasn't very sure about this before. But whatever you say now, I have to make up my mind."

Smiling again, and changing the subject, Ryan returned to Nyx's previous question.

"There's nothing I can't say about what I want to do. After all, some things can't be changed just by knowing. It's just that the answer this time may not be what you want."

"What answer does it have to do with me?"

It's a little strange, but Nyx doesn't think this has anything to do with him.

"Do you still remember why you came here at the end of the first era and why you blocked the door to the spiritual world?"

Asking in return, Ryan smiled and spoke.

"Of course it's because you took the opportunity to open up the spiritual world, so that the world gave the 'instructions' to the gods..."

Somewhat suddenly, it seemed that he finally understood something, and Nyx's eyes couldn't help but look strange.

"So are you going to do something similar this time? Hmm - but you'd better be prepared in advance. If there is a chance to hit you then, I may not hold back."

"It should be said that for the sake of past friendship, I will be merciful."

Smiling, Ryan turned around and disappeared into the dark void.

"But you don't have to be too afraid, because by that time, everyone will be your 'teammate'."

Turning around and leaving, Ryan had no intention of further answering, and Nyx didn't ask any more questions. Just like last time, Ms. Ye did not ask what the 'One Day God King' was. She always seemed to like this feeling of decryption and anticipation, so after just thinking for a while, she continued in a good mood. Went to 'watch' the battle on the ground.

She couldn't figure out why Ryan had such confidence, but if she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out. Time would give her the answer. On the gray earth illuminated by the dark moon, only Nyx's inaudible laughter remained.

"The third era is different from the first era. This time, there is no replacement of god kings and birth of gods to buy time."

"Invincible to the whole world? So if you want to avoid being beaten to death, are you telling me that at least for that day, you have to be 'invincible to the whole world'?"

No one can answer her question, everything has been [hidden], only the water of the River Styx is still flowing slowly, never-ending.

······

In this world, outside Mount Olympus.

The power that shakes all things is still continuing, but three days and three nights have passed, and now the situation outside the sacred mountain has changed drastically.

The whole world is the enemy, this is what Mother Earth is really thinking at this moment under the gaze of the gods of heaven and earth.

Three days ago, although the brief and unexpected change alarmed the God King, Gaia had no intention of stopping. The power of the earth continued to impact, and even though Zeus had tried his best to pay attention, cracks were still being knocked out of the sacred mountain.

Fortunately, this is the body of an ancient mountain god. It can be repaired spontaneously over the long years, so there is no irreversible impact. However, this also proves from the side that Gaia's judgment is not wrong. Without the suppression of the laws of this world, Zeus would not be able to stop her from destroying the sacred mountain.

However, there are no ifs in reality, and the laws and regulations never change according to the will of the individual. So at this moment, even though power was still pouring into her body from the earth, even though there was still a power that frightened the gods when she raised her hand, standing between heaven and earth, the oldest innate god still felt the inner strength of her body. The feeling of inner exhaustion and the desolation of being abandoned by everything in the world.

Opposite her, the God King was still pouring out his power wantonly, and Gaia was like a ruler and a useful tool to prove his power. Around the sacred mountain, the originally awed gazes of the gods gradually changed. For the first time, they realized that perhaps this noble Earth Mother was not as powerful as they thought.

The third-generation God Queen wears a golden crown. Her majestic and solemn look at this moment reminds Gaia of her past self: so young, so confident, and they even have the same power, the authority divided by the world. But her first era has passed, and now, Gaia is just an uninvited guest.

Even in addition to this, Earth Mother also noticed the auras that flashed one after another.

Ryan and Erebus, two people who have always been suspected by Gaia, but this time, they seemed not to notice her at all.

From attacking the gods, to fighting each other, and then heading to the stars, from the beginning to the end, no one said a word to her, as if she was no longer worthy of attention.

Especially Erebus, he even only paid tribute to the God King, but did not pay attention to his sister who was standing aside.

And his sister... Nyx has probably been here too, but Gaia sadly discovered that if the other party is not willing, if the Mother of Night in charge of [Secret] does not have her feet on the ground, then she will not even notice it. her presence. Obviously, Nyx had no intention of showing up.

All mixed together, Gaia's desperation and rage are simply beyond words.

"ah--!"

bump--

Grief and anger turned into strength, and Gaia once again mustered up her divine power.

The huge light rose up crazily and collided with [Thunder] again. However, this time, in the eyes of Mother Earth in disbelief, Zeus's hand did not even waver.

"This, how can this be-"

"——Mother Earth, you have gone too far."

He was also stunned for a moment, but then he realized something. Trying to suppress the joy in his heart, in front of the gods, looking at the ancient god who once made him extremely afraid, the God King spoke righteously.

"I know that you may be dissatisfied with me because of the Titan God matter, but Gaia, this is not a reason for you to vent your anger randomly!"

"Making up lies, using the so-called 'golden apple tree' to slander the King of Gods; endangering the stability of the world, trying to destroy the sacred mountain that supports the sky. Gaia, you have felt it, the world has already punished you, and this is His punishment for your wanton behavior. !”

In just a few words, Zeus equated "slandering the God King" with "destroying the God Mountain", and even put those involving himself first, as if the suppression of the law was really because of him. But even in the eyes of the gods who were watching, what the God King said at this moment was not wrong.

Imprisoning Cleos, the god of weather, is just a normal power struggle. As for the 'golden apple tree', that is even more nonsense. Gaia's anger is somewhat ridiculous, so even if she is being ridiculed by Zeus at this moment, it really does not arouse any empathy.

After calming down, throwing away the aura of the original god of the earth mother, Gaia in front of the gods seemed to be an old woman who had been stimulated by unknown means, and then was suppressed when the trouble failed.

"Ah - Zeus, you once didn't even dare to raise your head in front of me, you -"

"boom--"

[Thunder] was thrown and instantly drowned out Gaia's voice. But this time, it seemed that a certain critical point had been passed. The Earth Mother, who was originally at a disadvantage, fell backwards in the collision, and there were even red marks on her hands.

It's not that Zeus has become stronger, it's that Gaia has become weaker. The three days and three nights of fighting seemed to have exhausted the patience of the worldly order towards this primitive god. If the huge pressure he lowered fell on Zeus, it would even be enough to make this god-king who had just reached the edge of greatness immediately fall back, or even return. It has reached the point where it is worse than before the promotion. Although Gaia is not like this, it has also been weakened unimaginably.

Now, she once again replaced Zeus and the Lord of Hell, who had just touched the greatness, and became the edge of great divine power.

"It's over, Gaia, give up your meaningless behavior. Under the witness of the gods, and in the name of the God King, I have never stolen the golden apple tree."

With a calm expression, Zeus spoke slowly:

"If you are willing to admit your mistakes now and give up the meaningless accusations against me, then I will respond mercifully and let your transgressions today be forgotten."

After the words fell, the God King looked at the Earth Mother calmly, as if he already had a chance to win, and that was exactly the case. The scene fell silent, and the gods looked at Gaia, waiting for her response.

The Earth Mother had no chance of winning, or even a chance of losing both sides. The only choice she could make now was to leave with dignity or in embarrassment. As for suppressing her, that was unlikely, but Zeus never wanted to do that.

The power of the God King has been established, and the rest is more than enough.

"..."

There was no reply, and no attention to Zeus's explanation. Gaia, who was knocked back by a blow, just looked at her hands with red marks.

All life in the world seemed to be laughing at her, but when she looked around, she couldn't find anyone who could stand by her side.

"..."

"…………"

"Hahahaha... Zeus, son of Uranus, descendant of Cronus..."

After a while, Gaia raised her head and looked at the God King standing proudly in the clouds. Her voice was a little hoarse, but at this moment, the entire continent seemed to be echoing her voice.

"I curse you."

"I curse you... My time may have passed, but one day, so will yours."

"I will wait for you, Zeus...I will wait for you until the end of all things."

boom--

As early as the second sentence of Gaia's words, the [Thunder Arrow] struck again, but this time, the God King failed to do anything.

Gaia's figure has disappeared, and no one can stop her on the earth, even if she is on the verge of falling. And Mother Earth's final curse spread throughout the world along with the tremors of the earth's crust.

The God King's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about the loser's incompetent anger before he left, but only Hera, who was familiar with him, noticed that perhaps Zeus was not so calm in his heart.

Because she had heard Zeus talk about the 'prophecy' before the second generation of God King disappeared.

"Zeus, a curse without power is meaningless. It is just meaningless words... Now, it's time to do what the God King should do."

Taking a step forward, Hera spoke softly.

"...Yes, it's a joke, it's just a last-ditch show of respect by an old guy from the old days who doesn't want to quit."

Nodding, Zeus took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the gods who were bowing their heads under his gaze not far away.

Not because of the recommendation of the gods, but because of his supreme power. Compared to the past, he is now the true God King.
