Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

High in the sky, the divine light flew past, heading straight for Eleusis from a distance.

At this moment, Poseidon, who was struck by the golden arrow, had nothing in his heart but his burning love for Demeter. He couldn't stand any waiting, so Poseidon did not conceal his whereabouts at all, but flew openly towards the great temple in the north of the city.

It was the first temple built by the people of Eleusis for the goddess of agriculture, and it was also the largest temple to date. In other words, only a small part of its core has been repaired, and other parts are still being expanded.

As for why such an important building was built outside the city instead of in the city, it was mainly because the city center was already occupied by the royal palace.

Naturally, the abode of gods cannot give way to human beings, but it would take too long to bulldoze the palace. So in the north of the city, people chose a better location and planned to expand the city of Eleusis around it.

In the new royal capital in the future, the original city will be transformed into the Nancheng District, and the temple will be the real center. King Kelius had no objection to this, but actually agreed with it.

So unknowingly, a certain unspoken rule passed down from later generations was set at this time. Although few later cities built temples in the center, Nancheng did become a place where the upper class lived. Over time, this has become a customary culture.

Of course, future generations are still far away, but at the moment, mortals who are no longer worried about famine are building large-scale construction projects to build a symbol of the goddess of agriculture on earth.

Tens of thousands of people gather here, working day and night on the ground and on the dome of the building, changing this magnificently designed temple every day.

Until today, a tall blue-haired god came from the south and crashed through the temple wall directly from the sky.

He headed towards the place where Demeter's aura was. For a moment, the auras of the gods collided with each other, and Poseidon's laughter spread in all directions. Even though the two gods had scruples and did not really use the power of the gods, the holy power of the demigod level had already been tilted out.

It was almost just a meeting, and there was no direct conflict between the two gods themselves. The invisible pressure had already made the nearby craftsmen almost breathless.

Some of those working at high places even fell straight down, splashing with blood after a few muffled sounds.

"Hahaha...my sister, it's been such a long time."

"You are still so beautiful - or rather, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Not paying any attention to the mortals who were in the way, Poseidon strode into the inner hall.

Volos's golden arrow did make him feel strong love, but it would not completely change his character. The Poseidon will only express 'love' in his own way, instead of taking the words of the Goddess of Agriculture as a guideline.

And obviously Poseidon's emotional expression couldn't be clearer - as long as it's what I want, I have to grab it.

"Poseidon? What are you doing here?"

He was shocked at first and then calmed down. Demeter, who was resting, couldn't help but frowned at her brother's rudeness.

She had noticed the movement outside. Because of Poseidon's arrival, the temple she had not built was stained with blood. The goddess didn't care so much about the lives of ordinary craftsmen, but the other party's behavior made her embarrassed. There is no light on it.

"Are you here to lobby for Zeus?"

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed... I have only one request from beginning to end, and that is to let Hades return Persephone."

The tone was cold and hard. Before, the pleasure in the human world had once relieved the boredom in the goddess of agriculture's heart, but the arrival of Poseidon reminded her of this again.

Not only is it a matter of her daughter, but also of herself. She has always been ignored by these brothers who are extremely powerful in combat. Zeus is like this, Hades is like this, Poseidon is like this...

Immersed in her own emotions, Demeter waved her hand, indicating that Poseidon could leave.

She had been very relaxed recently, so she didn't notice Poseidon's increasingly obsessed eyes. The goddess of agriculture obviously did not expect that someone would dare to do anything to her in this stall where she caused a natural disaster.

But soon, the goddess knew that she was wrong. Because Poseidon not only did not leave, but even approached her with a smile.

"You are overthinking my sister. Why am I here to persuade you... What does Zeus's matter have to do with me? Humans on the sea only need to catch fish to survive."

"The one who really made me come here... is obviously you -"

Shocked, Demeter looked up sharply, but what came into her eyes was the face of Poseidon very close at hand. Looking at the other party's fiery eyes, she didn't know what the other party was going to do.

In a panic, the goddess of agriculture couldn't help but change her figure, and immediately turned into a stream of light and flashed out of the palace.

"Is this another chase and escape game? But where can you escape? You have to run faster, hahahaha..."

Laughing, Poseidon flew away in pursuit. As a result, a large hole was opened in the dome of the main hall again. In the eyes of the people of Eleusis City, they saw only two haloes of light, one brown and one blue, piercing the sky. What was left behind was a mess on the ground.

When the gods leave, the original pressure also disappears. After a while, two figures quickly ran from the direction of the city. They were King Cleus and his eldest son Triptolemus.

They were all alarmed by the aura that erupted here in an instant, but when they came here, they only saw the dead bodies that had fallen from high places, the injured who were not dead yet moaning and groaning, and the craftsmen who survived the disaster. Temple with broken top.

"What's going on here?"

Standing on the messy ground, Kelius looked solemn. Upon his inquiry, someone around him quickly stood up and told him what had just happened.

"Father……"

After hearing the whole story, Triptolemus turned to look at Cleus. He vaguely noticed that a trace of sadness flashed across the face of the King of Eleusis, but he knew that it was not because of the dead and injured craftsmen.

"...It doesn't matter, you can stay here. No matter what happens, you are the patriarch chosen by the goddess and her spokesperson in the world."

"You should put the goddess's affairs first, and everything else is just a sideshow."

Kelius spoke calmly, knowing what the eldest son meant, but he just signaled the people around him to obey the prince's instructions. And he turned around and walked towards the old city.

"Don't worry about her affairs...just let me handle everything."

"I will arrange everything quickly and quietly, just like Demophon."

"..."

Silent, looking at his father's retreating back, Triptolemus was speechless for a moment. he

Understand that the other party was going to deal with the funeral affairs of Queen Murtanella, because just the previous morning, the queen was found dead in her palace. Although it looked like a suicide, there was no sign of anyone entering, and the murder weapon disappeared without a trace.

In grief, the king immediately summoned his son. He wanted him to use the magical 'magic' to help find the murderer. But the movement coming from the temple immediately made Kelius 'understand' the cause and effect.

So the two of them came here directly and saw the wounded and corpses all over the place.

"...I know, father, I will do everything well."

Taking a deep breath, looking at Cleus's retreating back, regardless of whether the other party heard him or not, Triptolemus still whispered.

The next moment, he turned around and looked at everyone present with his usual gentle eyes. He could see the hesitation, confusion, confusion and suspicion in people's eyes, but these emotions should not appear in the eyes of the craftsmen who built the palace for the goddess.

So the prince stepped forward and motioned for everyone to look in his direction.

"What happened just now was just an accident. It was a disaster caused by an outsider. It was for our safety that the goddess led him to another place."

Saying something he didn't even believe, Triptolemus folded his hands and placed them on his chest.

A ray of light was released from his hands, and gentle power healed those injured. As a god who prefers life, there are many magical arts passed down by Demeter that can easily do this, but resurrection from the dead...

"The souls of devout believers will surely enjoy peace and happiness under the protection of the goddess..."

Speaking in a deep voice, Triptolemus looked at the deceased.

"Now... let us comfort their souls together."

…

(Writing it directly is still prone to problems. I deleted a section yesterday, so I wrote it from the side. It is a supporting role anyway)

…

Time passed by, and with the comfort of Triptolemus, the mortals on the ground dealt with everything in an orderly manner.

They collected the bodies of the deceased, believing that not only did this have nothing to do with the goddess, but to express their gratitude for her kindness, and most importantly, they reinvested in the repair of the temple.

After a long time, the void flashed, and the figures of the twins emerged. They glanced at the movement on the ground and couldn't help but look at each other.

They had just chased Poseidon's figure and witnessed the two gods' "he chased, she ran, she had no way to escape" in real time. Demeter tried every means to get rid of Poseidon, and even once transformed into a mare and mixed in the herd of mortals.

Strictly speaking, judging from the general ability of God Chaos, this seemingly unreliable transformation actually has a certain probability of being able to hide from Poseidon, but unfortunately, I don't know if it is added. The Poseidon's insight also increased with the lust buff, and the true identity of the agricultural goddess was finally discovered.

Then, without any hesitation, Poseidon turned into a stallion, not caring about the difference in race. He even transformed into his human form again halfway through.

This is why the twins left early and looked at each other... Eros hesitated. She was not sure. After all, the golden arrow did not belong to her, but the lead arrow did. So to prevent the induction from being wrong, she still confirmed it:

"Just now...did Poseidon get rid of the influence of the golden arrow halfway?"

"...Well, that's what happened."

Nodding, with a slightly strange expression on his face, Volos said firmly:

"The moment he turned back into human form...my golden arrow failed. After all, it was just an arrow shot by mortal hatred. The limit of what could be achieved was reached."

"..."

"But in my perception, Poseidon's 'emotional' fluctuations don't seem to have changed at all?"

Eros asked again, and Volos gave the same answer.

"Yes."

Nodding, Volos said:

"Maybe he has wanted to do this for a long time... maybe he will have this day without us?"

Looking at each other, the twins actually wanted to see the reaction of the person hit by the golden arrow after the magic power disappeared, so they followed him so actively. But what they didn't expect was that Poseidon's reaction was no response.

"Forget it, this...maybe a little unusual."

Shaking her head, Eros said helplessly:

"Next time, next time we change the target, let's forget about this."

"Let's wait for Demeter to come back - she should come back. Once we get what we want from her, what they do will have nothing to do with us."

······

Olympus, the Council Chamber.

What happened in the human city-states has not been reported here, and no one knows that Poseidon went to follow the footsteps of Zeus, and even surpassed him.

Here, the gods had just listened to the God King's story, and their first reaction was undoubtedly doubt.

"prophecy?"

Frowning, Hestia didn't expect that Zeus would create a new one before the recent troubles were resolved.

And what he said...the end of all things? Of course, the goddess questioned this.

"Zeus, it is indeed possible for gods to see the future inadvertently, but there are often special reasons."

"What about you? You woke up in your palace and foresaw the end of the world?"

Hestia's words are not unfounded. As innate gods, while the gods are affected by the present world, they have indeed gained a lot. For example, memories and thoughts that cannot be permanently modified, or the immortal essence, these are what make them different from gods in other worlds.

In this case, some gods will indeed see a corner of the future on extremely rare occasions, just like Iapetus, the god of speech in the second age, who glimpsed the future in the spiritual world. It's just that they can often only see a very small part, and then extend all kinds of right or wrong interpretations.

In this case, it seems that Zeus can indeed see the future unexpectedly, but on the one hand this is an extremely unlikely event, and on the other hand it is the content revealed by this prophecy.

The world will collapse and everything will fall into ruins. This kind of statement is somewhat like saying that the world is round in the Middle Ages. It will not have any other result except making the people who hear it think you are crazy.

"Well, Hestia, I know this is hard to believe, but the world...may not be indestructible."

Sitting at the top, Zeus understood the doubts of the Kitchen Goddess. Even he himself would not believe the authenticity of this matter if it had not happened in the ceremony of sacrificing the world.

But his [Kingdom Ceremony] is true, so naturally this news about the future is also true. What's more, there is the most direct evidence right in Olympus.

The wreckage left behind after the death of a world... He foresaw the fate in it and glimpsed the destruction of Chaos. This is simply a normal thing. Especially among some of the damaged remains in Asgard, Zeus also found some documents.

Most of that stuff doesn't make much sense, but there are a few differences. For example, on a broken tablet, Zeus saw records about the God King Odin and ‘Twilight’.

Let the gods fall and the world restart, [Twilight of the Gods], the most terrifying disaster in the world.

"Perhaps it's the same for us. Even before we realize it, the dusk bells have already begun to ring... and the 'outsider' is the 'bell ringer'."
