Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

After a day of fruitless search, Achilles was finally bound by a golden net and taken to the palace of the sun god at sunset.

Logically, this should be the temple of Apollo, but long before he replaced Helios to drive the golden chariot to drive the sun, this god who brought light to the world already had his own palace.

The true godhood of Apollo is [light] rather than [sun] after all. Although the two are so compatible, he still prefers to live in his own temple.

So the former temple of Helios became empty. Except for the [sun chariot] parked here, there is not even a shadow of a person.

"That's why His Majesty Apollo happily lent the temple to His Majesty Hephaestus, because he doesn't live here at all."

"No god will allow others to mess around in his temple, unless he doesn't take this place seriously at all."

At the foot of the sacred mountain, next to a river, the nymph fairy wearing a flower crown looked at the arm holding her neck in horror.

As a nymph serving the gods, she had never thought that anyone would dare to attack her under Mount Olympus.

However, now the facts are in front of her. This half-man, half-horse creature is different from others.

He is just like the mortal who was caught on the mountain of gods, and he regards the majesty of the Olympian gods as nothing.

No, it should be said that they are originally in the same group.

In panic, the nymph finally reacted.

The centaur in front of her seemed to be asking about the whereabouts of the human being - so what exactly is he going to do?

"The gods have detained him, and it will start at noon tomorrow."

"Cyclops (a general term for Cyclops) raised the hammer, and the craftsman god started the fire."

"Your Highness Hephaestus will use the thunder fire from the sky, the underground fire that wanders underground, and the open fire burning on the stove in the world to forge together and refine the madman who blasphemed the gods."

"No matter what you want to do, you will never succeed."

The sky fire comes from thunder, and the earth fire comes from Hephaestus's priesthood.

As the deity of volcanoes and lava, he controls the fire veins of the earth.

In a sense, Hephaestus's natural talent for casting artifacts may also be related to this.

After all, the first sickle in the world came from the burning deep in the earth long ago.

It seems reasonable to say that there is a connection between the two.

As for the open fire burning on the stove in the end... it was actually the stove fire that Hestia gave to Hephaestus after he returned to the mountain of gods.

Her original intention of giving this gift was also very clear. It was originally a gift from the goddess to ease the conflict between Hephaestus and Hera.

But it is obvious that Hestia's idea has failed again.

"...Heavenly fire, earthly fire and hearth fire, amazing, Hephaestus, worthy of being the world-famous god of craftsmen."

"Even though everyone knows his short stature, no one dares to deny his ability in this area. Even the equally gifted Cyclopes have to admit that they are even willing to become his servants."

"Servants" may be a bit exaggerated, but in the eyes of the gods, it is indeed the same, after all, they have never regarded giants as the same kind.

After hearing the threats and warnings of the nymphs, Chiron was not angry, but relieved.

Before he caught the other party and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of Achilles, the centaur once thought that he had met a diehard, and the other party had been lying to him.

But now he doesn't think so. Perhaps, as the other party said, Achilles is really going to be "refined", and he is now locked up in the Temple of the Sun in advance.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about my business. Go to sleep. When you wake up, everything will be over."

"Of course, I suggest that you should not return to Olympus after you wake up. After all, although I don't blame you for being captured by me, I'm afraid not everyone will think the same way as I do."

Shaking his head slightly, Chiron decisively knocked out the nymph in front of him since he had already got the answer.

One night is enough. I think there is no god guarding there at this time, so Achilles should be able to be rescued smoothly.

Well... it should be no problem.

Thinking about it in his mind, the centaur immediately activated a rune in his hand.

As a wave of obscure magic network waves dissipated, his figure disappeared as if he had never appeared.

The entrance to the secret passage on the map is here. It is said that before the Typhon Rebellion, this was originally a river governed by a river god.

It's just that a turmoil ruined everything. The original river was polluted. Even if it was re-drained, it would have been very different.

Silently diving into the river, the former goddess of the ocean, the goddess of fame, Clymene, may have frequently come and gone here in the name of visiting her brother.

After about two water clocks, the Centaur finally found the secret passage.

"Here... it needs the breath of the 'sun' to open."

Taking off the stone box behind him, Chiron carefully opened it a little, and then closed it in an instant.

In an instant, even under the suppression of some force, the bottom of the river almost boiled directly.

Taking a breath of cold air, Chiron quickly took back the stone box, and then looked at the slowly opening door in front of him.

"This passage should be right, it's this... Is it a little small?"

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and the Centaur was a little embarrassed for a while.

After all the calculations, he forgot that he was twice as tall as an ordinary person...

"Forget it."

Bending down hard, Chiron tried to let his upper body lie on the horse's back and walked into the secret passage.

Mount Olympus was the body of the god who was once the ancestor of all mountains. Only divine power can destroy it.

Since it can't be expanded, let it be.

Although it is a little difficult, he can also walk up the sacred mountain little by little.

······

On Mount Olympus, in the Temple of the Sun.

The former residence of Helios was quiet, only the [Sun God Chariot] was emitting endless light.

The shaft, axle, and wheels of the chariot were like gold, and the spokes on the wheels were like silver. The bridle reserved for restraining livestock was inlaid with crystal gems, making a crisp sound in the wind.

And next to the artifact, it was Achilles who was tied in the golden net.

Bang——

Using his arms, Achilles tried to break free again, but he failed again.

The net created by Hephaestus was not indestructible, but it was not something that his current strength could easily shake.

Besides the golden net, the Apollo Chariot was also suppressing Achilles' activities.

This was also the reason why there were no guards here, because ordinary guards could not match the spontaneous power of this artifact, and the real gods were unwilling to condescend here.

"Ares..."

Silently reciting this name, Achilles felt that he trusted the gods too much.

The dignified God of War would actually use such a secret method to attack him, which was extremely shameless.

Sooner or later, he would also use this golden net to tie the other party in front of the army, so that he could also enjoy the humiliation he had suffered.

Ding——

"Huh?"

His face moved slightly, and Achilles turned his head suddenly.

Just now, he seemed to hear a movement coming from underground.

However, this is Olympus, the palace of the Apollo.

How could there be life underground here? Could it be that the sun god is so blind that he can't even take care of his own palace?

Ding...

Ding Ding——

Ka——

The sound did not stop, but continued to ring again.

At a certain moment, with the sound of stone slabs opening and closing, a crack suddenly appeared in the floor of the temple.

In Achilles' shocked eyes, a familiar figure walked out.

"Teacher?!"

"What are you doing——"

"——Keep your voice down!"

With a low voice, Chiron looked at the embarrassed student in front of him with some regret.

Although his eyes were still bright, his tattered clothes still proved that he had not had a good time recently.

I told him to be modest and cautious a long time ago, but he was still so disobedient that he ended up in today's situation.

"Okay, let's talk about your business when we get back. You have made such a big mess, do you really think no one can do anything to you?"

"Now, listen to me and leave quickly with me."

Speaking in a deep voice, the centaur did not give Achilles a chance to speak.

Now, with every passing minute, the danger for the two of them increases, and he can't waste time.

So Chiron told his plan in just a few words.

"So you found an extremely powerful artifact for me, which can command the sun and destroy the body of the god. And you came here today just to let me escape from the sacred mountain."

"What else?"

Chiron asked back, with a bit of relief on his face.

"I originally planned to force my way to the place where you were imprisoned, take the opportunity to give you the sword, and then kill my way out of the sacred mountain."

"This is not an easy thing. If we are not careful, we may stay here. Otherwise, since there happened to be no one guarding it, we would have saved a lot of trouble."

"As long as you cut this golden net now and leave with me, no one will find your trace."

"By the time the gods notice, we have already left the sacred mountain."

There is nothing wrong with Chiron's plan, and Achilles thinks so too.

Because of Hephaestus's plan and the sun chariot, he has a short window here.

As long as he wants, he doesn't need to fight or face any gods, he can leave now.

However, at this moment, Achilles thought of the thunder and lightning that had returned in vain during the day.

That was the power of the God King, the thunder that punished all spirits, but it had no effect on him.

The young hero did not understand the realm of God. In his opinion, since the thunder and lightning could not hurt him, it meant that the God King was just like that.

What the teacher said might not be true. After all, he himself admitted that he did not understand how powerful the power of the God King was.

"... Teacher, let me see this sword first."

After a moment of silence, Achilles spoke in a low voice.

And Chiron did not think it was strange, but just threw the stone box behind him.

The light of the sun god's chariot could have prevented everything from approaching Achilles, but the stone box had no reaction to the light.

So looking at the box in front of him, Achilles raised his hand and moved forward.

The lid on the stone box was moved away inch by inch, and the young hero felt an endless heat wave burning on him.

Body surface, internal organs, flesh and blood, bones.

No color, no shape, can not be observed, can not be touched.

It was like being in the middle of the sun, being burned by endless light and heat. If it were any other existence, even if they were not dead, they would have been in unbearable pain.

However, Achilles was an exception. He reached his hand into the stone box as if he had no sense at all.

This endless power could not hurt him at all, even when he grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Is this... the sun..."

Achilles did not retract his right hand, even though he knew that at this moment he only needed one sword to cut the golden net, and another sword to overturn the temple.

The artifact from the Nine Realms had a stronger power after carrying the power of Chaos's sun. In the dark, the young hero felt as if he had felt a lot.

In Scandinavian mythology, this sword was once held by a fire giant, which then set off the twilight of the gods and killed the gods of Asgard.

At this moment, if he did not know that the immortality of the gods could not be violated, Achilles even felt that he could really kill the ridiculous god of war and become the new master of war.

"... This is, the sun."

Still without retracting his hand, Achilles looked at the sun chariot on the side.

An invisible connection was generated between the two, or it could be said that with him as the medium, the two artifacts were sensing each other.

At the same time, Achilles felt a desire.

Part of this sword is longing for something... and it is inside the Sun Chariot.

It is the sun, it is also the sun, they are all the sun.

They are longing to be reunited, but the young hero has a premonition.

If this happens, it may not be a good thing.

"Huh——"

He retracted his hand, and the information of the sword flashed in his mind.

The world of fire, the reshaped sword body, a supreme figure riding an eight-legged horse, locked in a quiet place and never seeing the sun... At a certain moment, Achilles suddenly closed the stone box.

This is the memory of this sword, and also its past.

Seeing all this, Achilles just raised his head slightly and looked at the teacher in front of him.

In order to rescue him from the sacred mountain, the teacher must have spent a lot of effort. He has never been willing to provoke the gods... But unfortunately, even so, he still has to disappoint the other party.

Although the other party is for his own good, Achilles has his own ideas.

Even if he sacrifices his life for this, he will not hesitate.

After all, heroes in the world may have different personalities, but there are really few who are afraid of death.

"Teacher, please leave first... I don't plan to leave here, at least not now."

"This sword is very powerful, beyond my imagination, it may be able to do many things. I thank you for giving it to me, but I can't just leave like this."

"Where you fall, you get up there..."

"After this failure, I have realized my own shortcomings, but since there are shortcomings, it is more necessary to make up for them, right?"

"And now, there is just such an opportunity."

Speaking calmly, touching the stone box, Achilles' voice became more and more firm.

"Just like this sword."

"It was once broken, and then recast by fire, and this time, I will do the same."

"The strongest spear, the strongest shield, we will gather together, with hatred for the gods, and overturn this eternal mountain."
