Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

"Speaking of that stone tablet... I almost forgot about it."

Looking at the ritual patterns that he didn't know where to use, Ryan suddenly recalled the broken stone tablet that he had thrown away in the depths of his collection for a long time.

In Odin's treasury, he successively obtained the [Golden Ring], the divine sword [Levadin], the [Original Code] of [Rune Runes], and a sword made from the poisonous spring of Niflheim. The poison and its antidote, as well as the resentment of the original giant Ymir.

Some of these things have been used, and some have not been used yet, but no matter what, Ryan knows more or less what they do. Only the broken stone tablet he obtained together was different. From the moment he obtained it, he did not understand what it was for. Even under his observation, it was an ordinary thing.

Ryan even tried to destroy it, but stopped after only fraying one corner. Because he suddenly discovered that this stone tablet was not a 'self-obscuring divine object' as he thought. Even if there was no abnormality, it had the characteristics of being unable to be destroyed.

On the contrary, all its characteristics prove that it is an ordinary stone - at most, it is a stone of some age. It's just that this is not something from the world of Khaos, so Ryan can't accurately judge the years it has experienced.

If such a thing had not appeared in Odin's treasure house and been treasured and collected together with other treasures by the god-king from another world, I am afraid that no god would have given it a second glance. But there are no ifs, so even if he couldn't see what it was used for at the time, Ryan still kept it well.

In fact, Ryan actually attaches great importance to the god-king from another world. Because the trip to the Nine Realms made it very clear that that world did not seem to be like the one described in Scandinavian mythology, but was quite different.

If the world of Khaos has embarked on a completely different destiny trajectory because of his existence, then the changes in the Nine Realms are undoubtedly closely related to Odin, who foresaw the death of all things. So when Ryan saw Odin again in Athena's memory, he felt it was natural.

This one-eyed king riding an eight-legged horse, Repnir, definitely has some unknown secret. This stone tablet may be related to it - or it may not be related, but it must be something valuable.

But now, thinking about it again, Ryan realized that maybe he should find it. Because unlike before, he now has new tools.

"Well...I remember it was there."

After recalling it, in a remote palace on Mount Sinaia, Ryan found the stone tablet that had never been taken out since it was stored there.

Because he didn't know what was special about it, Ryan was not sure whether the laws of Chaos would affect it. Therefore, in that remote palace, he artificially constructed a law environment similar to the Nine Realms.

So with a wave of time and space fluctuations, the broken stone tablet appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. But just like every time before, he couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Without making any more unnecessary attempts, Ryan raised his hand and held it empty, and the droplets of creation power fell directly into his palm. The divinity of time and space that constitutes the most fundamental spiritual world trembled slightly, as if it was resonating with the power of this source.

It is its existence that allows this 'water drop' to be used, rather than being inaccessible at all like it exists in two dimensions. But Ryan didn't plan to use it for anything now. He just maintained the contact, and then looked at the ordinary stone tablet again.

There seems to have been some writing on the broken monument, but now it has long been blurred and has become difficult to read. Previous observations often stopped here, and it did not show anything strange. However, this time from a higher perspective, Ryan felt as if he had indeed seen something.

"Is this... a mark?"

It was a mark as broken as a stone tablet—or coordinates, a mark, or something else.

This is undoubtedly a directional thing, and the location it points to is not presented in the form of space-time coordinates. It's difficult for Lane to describe this expression, but it is indeed a guide.

And it seems to exist in the same position as this ashlar, but the latter seems to be just the carrier of the former. It was indeed just an ordinary stone tablet, and it only became important because of this mark that had somehow fallen on it.

"So what kind of mark is this? Who left it, or was it naturally generated? And Odin, why does he have such a thing?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, Ryan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when looking at this strange mark. He seemed to have some connection with this thing, but he had no impression of it at all.

"Interesting, if only a world-class power can detect the mark, how did Odin detect it? He also said that he didn't actually see the mark, but just like me before, he knew that it was important, but he didn't know it at all. It’s important to know why.”

Guesses flashed through my mind, then were instantly erased.

Maybe when the Nine Realms were still there, this mark was not as silent as it is now. There is no evidence for these speculations. And Odin is dead after all, no one knows what he thinks. So Ryan didn't think about it anymore. He was just bearing the pressure caused by contact with the 'water droplets' while thinking about what he should do.

The broken marks left in the treasure house of the Nine Realms do not look like they point to a certain place in the world of Khaos - of course, it is impossible to say for sure. Perhaps the location it points to is one of the nine kingdoms, and it has now become part of Khaos.

But no matter what, this is something worth exploring, but during the recent period, Ryan has no time to run around.

He will first stay here until the positive and negative energy interface is completely stable, and then find the location of the world of Hermione when Typhon comes to the world. Before that, he didn't plan to make any big moves.

Moreover, the mark is still incomplete, and no one can guarantee that it will point to the correct location. So looking at this broken mark, Ryan finally just injected a little spiritual power into it, and then let it float into the void along the guidance of the mark under the protection of the power of time and space.

He didn't expect this power to have any effect, it was just a temporary exploration. After completing this step, Ryan released the connection with the 'water drop' and smoothly sent the stone tablet back to the palace.

This matter is just a small episode, and it does not require too much energy before there are specific results.

"But speaking of which, I don't know what Gaia is doing now."

"It is said in later generations that Mother Earth had intercourse with Tartarus in anger, and gave birth to a hundred-headed dragon and snake, Typhon, the king of demons, in a cave in the Cilicia region. But judging from the current developments, It seems that the abyss has not suddenly released its power to the outside world..."

He was somewhat confused, so until the first battle in hell was over, the changes he was waiting for had not yet appeared. This was somewhat beyond Ryan's expectation.

He had thought that when Gaia left Olympus in anger, her act of having children with the Abyss would happen soon. This will occupy Tartarus' energy to a certain extent, and then the power of sending him to Hell with Sleep early in the morning will take effect.

Yes, before Mephistopheles put forward his suggestion, it was certainly impossible for Ryan to not think of any way to deal with it.

This was the backup he had prepared in advance, and Ryan planned to rely on it to kill a demon at a critical moment. However, when there were other options, this attack was naturally combined with the attack of the Midgard Serpent, and almost wiped out all the first-generation demons.

"Hmm... maybe there is an error in my understanding of the myths of later generations. Maybe the content of the myths is just symbolic, and the behavior of Gaia and Tartarus giving birth to children actually has another explanation?"

"And no one seems to have stipulated that Gaia should give birth to children immediately after leaving Olympus... Judging from the timeline of mythology, a delay of several hundred years seems to be a normal phenomenon."

Without thinking much of it, Ryan finally put it aside.

The main body of destiny in this world is still unbreakable. In any case, this important part may deviate, but it will never be too drastic. Therefore, Typhon will not disappear inexplicably, it is just a matter of sooner or later.

As for whether it is possible that the partner to have children with Gaia has been replaced by another great being... I can't say it is completely impossible, but at least there are no signs yet. What's more, the order of birth of the gods of Chaos has been disrupted. If Ryan is still so sure that Typhon must be born within the specified time, it is unreasonable.

But no matter what, he still paid a little more attention to the Lightless Realm and the blocked Niflheim. Although Ryan also knows very well that if Erebus, who is in charge of the [Secret], really wants to do something, he will not be able to detect it immediately, and if the mother tree really has the ability to directly break through the blockade that Chaos has placed on him , then the possibility of him observing the other party's traces is also not much.

The Great Divine Power is not like the God of Olympus. He can notice the movement of the other party with just a glance. Even if she is Gaia, she can shield others from prying eyes on her - but compared to several others, she cannot hide her own existence.

After coming back from his thoughts, several things at hand were finally dealt with, and Ryan relaxed slightly.

Looking at the dark tones of the fifth spiritual world, Ryan called softly.

"Lyanna."

This loyal angel had something to do with him before, but it was not something in the spiritual world, but something related to Silver Moon City in the mortal world.

Since the flood ended and the agreement with Prometheus was completed, Ryan basically paid no attention to matters in Silvermoon City. The place was completely left to a few interested angels to take care of. Even through the consciousness in the "Encyclopedia of All Laws", he was more concerned about the development of witchcraft and the birth of various new knowledge.

But this time is different, because according to Lyanna, the mortal who once had a chance encounter with Lion during the Great Flood is finally coming to the end of his life.

He is one of the few believers who are considered 'devout' by the angels, so they originally planned to give him higher glory - but he rejected eternal life in the mortal world and planned to return to the embrace of the spiritual world.

So a question was posed in front of several angels: Such a devout human being has made contributions to spreading the Lord's miracles, and he should be rewarded. But in the entire spiritual world, it seems that there was no way to deal with these devotees in the past.

The Goddess of Law raised the kingdom of God in the fifth spiritual world to accommodate the souls of her followers after death, but Ryan never established a similar place. The golden humans have entered the [Seven Hills of Heaven], and the silver humans have entered the [Nine Hells]. So where is the destination of this remnant of the Bronze Age?

The angels did not make a hasty decision, and this was finally submitted to Ryan. His judgment on this human being will serve as a yardstick by which to measure the fate of those who will follow him.

"No, that seems to be the name."

Looking at the outside world, that magnificent city did not look like a huge city created in this era at all. Ryan noticed the residents gathered in front of the great temple.

They were using their own way to bid farewell to the 'prophet' who had led them for hundreds of years, and to witness his return to the kingdom of the Lord.

…

Human world, southeast of the mainland.

The heavy snow has not yet faded and the temperature has already risen.

But for the people living in this semi-magical city, they actually don't feel much about the changes in the outside climate.

Since I don’t feel hungry or cold in the cold winter, I naturally don’t have much expectations for spring. What's more, in this special city, spring has never been far away.

But today is different. According to the news that had been announced a long time ago, the great prophet who clearly did not have the blood of the water elves but still lived for hundreds of years had finally reached the end of his years. The city will undergo great changes, because after his death, no one knows what direction Silvermoon City will take in the future.

Nuo, who was praised as a 'saint' by the messenger of the Lord, is the only mortal who can communicate directly with those winged angels, and he is also a ruler who can be recognized by the residents of Silvermoon City. But after his death, no one could be found to take his place, no matter in terms of merit or ability, which made people speculate a lot.

Of course, that was all before and after, at least now most people are immersed in sadness.

They spontaneously gathered in front of the temple, waiting for his return to the Lord's heaven.
