Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 517: Practice Makes the Fake Come True

The request was agreed, and the conversation ended quickly.

From Lachesis, Hermes got the news about the person who imprisoned her elder sister, but in the eyes of the great alchemist, who the other party was was not important at all.

With a gentle expression, Hermes said that since he had accepted this task, he needed to make more preparations for it.

As a world-renowned pioneer of the alchemy road, he would take out his most proud work to help the other party solve this trouble.

Lachesis naturally had no objection to this.

She didn't know much about the field of spellcasters.

So leaving the living room where guests were entertained, Hermes went down the escalator of the tower.

Until he was far away from the previous floor, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Lachesis..."

Whispering the goddess's name softly, Hermes' eyes flickered.

Alone again, he slowly calmed down his agitated mood and reviewed his decision in his mind.

It has been a long time since he came to the real world, so that today, there are few things in the world that can threaten his life.

And Hermes also knows that the goddess of fate can't hurt him directly, or rather, they can't hurt anyone directly.

As the foundation of the order of fate, this iron rule will not change because of the change of the world...

Of course, correspondingly, there is no one in the world who can hurt the goddess of fate by strength alone.

This is only true for others, but when Hermes himself faced all this, he didn't dare to guarantee whether "eliminating outsiders" was a violation of their own order or a good deed rewarded by the world for the goddess of fate.

He didn't know, and the goddess of fate herself probably didn't know either, after all, there was no precedent for this kind of shuttle between illusion and reality.

But today, the other party seemed to be ready to take the lead in attacking him.

"It's just Lachesis, you can decide how to start."

"But how to end is up to me."

Hermes walked straight down through the library and a compartment full of treasures without stopping.

Walking into the underground space at the bottom of the tower, it was no different from before.

Seventy-two pillars stood here, and crystals floated on them.

The only difference was that many of these crystals that were once crystal clear were stained with blood... and there was an illusory figure wandering on the side of the seventh pillar.

"Sir Hermes, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Is the situation outside okay?"

Taking his attention away from the book in his hand, Star God Amon looked up and greeted him next to the seventh pillar painted with mysterious patterns.

When he stepped into the underground space, Hermes just nodded slightly, and then expressed regret as usual.

"I'm sorry, Sir Amon."

"The environment outside is still very unfriendly to Star Gods... I have tried my best, but this is not something that can be changed overnight."

"Okay... I understand you."

A little disappointed, but not entangled.

Star God Amon has long been accustomed to this answer.

Compared to the outside world, watching Hermes stride to the midpoint of the 72 pillars, he was more concerned about what the other party was going to do.

He raised his right hand and stood in the middle of the underground space.

Hermes clenched his fist in the air, and as he moved, the lines on the surface of the surrounding pillars began to light up layer by layer from bottom to top.

Last time, they mixed together, reconstructing and purifying the elements, and turned them into weapons to defeat the incarnation of the gods.

This time, they did not attract any external forces, but something began to gather above Hermes' palm.

His expression was a little solemn, and the application of weapons was just a by-product of Hermes' painstaking collection of these things.

And what he really wanted to do was always something that could allow him to break the boundaries and sublimate himself into a god again.

Once you have seen the sea, you will never be as good as water, and once you have seen Wushan, you will never be as good as a cloud.

If he had not been a god, Hermes might be satisfied with his current achievements.

But as the son of the God King in the virtual world, and a god who left many legends in the world, he obviously would not stop there.

However, it was precisely because he had experienced the gap between God and man that Hermes knew more clearly how difficult it was to cross this natural chasm.

Even with his wisdom and inspiration, it was only after he created the field of alchemy that he vaguely saw a shortcut that belonged to him.

"Refine 'false' into 'true'."

"One 'quality' replaces another 'quality', one 'quality' exchanges another 'quality', and one 'quality' sublimates another 'quality'."

"Put equivalent things on both ends of the supreme scale, and then swap their positions."

"Replace 'false' with 'true', and replace 'false' with 'true'"

"Isn't this the highest level of alchemy?"

Some unspeakable power gathered towards the palm of his hand, and in a corner of the underground space, the star god Amon also witnessed this scene.

The essence beyond the true God told him that at this moment, ‘he’ seemed to have participated in this mysterious ceremony.

However, whether it was his senses or anything else, Star God Amon only saw the shining of the pillars, and the crystals floating on them seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Interesting... Is this the real ‘alchemy’?

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

From the perspective of ordinary people or even ordinary true gods, Hermes' palm was empty at the moment.

There was no power gathering, and no special sight.

But Star God Amon could vaguely see that a portal composed of flowing starlight was slowly solidifying there.

From blurry to clear, and from gorgeous to ordinary.

At a certain moment, Star God Amon even felt that this strange door was about to turn from virtual to real and completely come to the material world.

However, in the next moment, the illusory starlight door flickered gently, and cracks began to appear on it.

"... Come."

Seeing this scene, Hermes, who was holding up his right hand, was not at all flustered or disappointed.

Because he knew clearly that what was happening in front of him was the most normal thing.

After all, from the beginning to the end, everything he prepared was still far from enough.

If the foundation had not been laid, how could the desired 'truth' be materialized into a real thing.

So he shouted in a low voice and did not wait.

As if holding up a heavy burden, Hermes' right hand began to slowly approach his face.

Little by little, inch by inch.

The distance was shortened, but the door continued to be damaged.

Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.

Time passed slowly, until the moment before the Starlight Gate shattered, this thing between existence and non-existence trembled slightly, and then it was completely imprinted in Hermes' pupils.

As if putting down a heavy burden, at this point, the great alchemist finally let out a long breath.

"Sir Hermes, what are you doing?"

As if he had seen nothing, under the seventh pillar of the underground space, the star god Amon, who had been watching, expressed his doubts at the right time.

Standing in the center surrounded by the pillars, Hermes couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Nothing, Lord Amon... I just tried to do an experiment."

"But as you can see, I failed."

"Although the instrument was successfully activated, nothing happened in the end."

In a good mood, feeling the pupils finally stabilized, and the door that was temporarily stored with something of his own as nourishment, Hermes couldn't help but sigh.

It's not the first time he has done an experiment like today.

But since he created 'Amon' in the time and space outside the River of the World and let Solomon take turns to sacrifice blood on the battlefield, this is indeed his first attempt.

It's natural that he didn't succeed.

After all, it's far from enough to support himself to build His 'truth', so His collapse is also reasonable.

But in terms of the result, He didn't fail completely.

At least His body persisted until he used his body to carry Him, which is already a qualitative breakthrough.

Smiling slightly, recalling the past, at this moment, Hermes couldn't help but be surprised by his boldness and luck.

The traveler through the worlds.

Apprentice to explore the truth.

The former god Hermes ignited his power of "traveling" and "traveling" in the virtual world, passed through the portal that separated the real world from the false, and successfully came to the world behind the door.

For him at that time, everything in this real world was undoubtedly the "truth".

And now, he has actually stood at the top of the real world, and began to use his own existence as an anchor to try to reconstruct the door of the past.

This is not only his way to godhood, but also a tool for him to explore higher realms.

If he "concrete" this portal that travels through existence and nothingness, he may be able to ascend to the throne of God again.

What will he gain if he completely "concrete" the things hidden behind the portal?

"All roads... have the same end at the end."

"For me in the past, everything in the real world is the "truth." "

"And if I can concretize all the "truths", does that mean omniscience and omnipotence? ”

Throwing this slightly arrogant conjecture out of his mind, Hermes was not too excited.

Because as he said, the end of all roads is the same.

Alchemy is like this, and "making the false true" may reach the end of the road.

But from the perspective of Chaos gods, don't they already have a similar path?

If Zeus rules everything in the sky and on the earth with his own kingship, and then in turn rules the sky with the power of the king of gods.

Then when he finally defeats the destined fate and masters everything in the world itself, he is also "omniscient" and "omnipotent". The Lord of All Gods who can’t, and the King of All Kings who is respected by all the worlds, but he obviously can’t do it now.

So, it’s a good thing to be able to see the end.

But the gap between being able to see the end and being able to do it is as big as the sky.

With a satisfied smile, the preparations beforehand were finally over.

After talking with the star god Amon for a few more words, Hermes said goodbye.

Back to the top of the tower, I found the goddess of fate who had been waiting for a long time.

With a little bit of obscure starlight flashing in his right eye, Hermes smiled and said.

"Ms. Lachesis, I'm ready now."

"If you don't have any other questions, then we can set off."

"Of course not."

Nodding heavily, turning around, Lachesis looked at Hermes in front of her.

It seems to be no different from before, and I don't know what he is preparing...

Thinking like this, I felt a little dazed.
