Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

In a haze, not knowing whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, Iaptus walked through a garden and was supported by Moanda into a palace.

This is one of the palaces specially built by the God King. As a god who lives on the mountain all year round, he knows this place.

Elsewhere in Mount Odiles, Cronus, the lord of the sacred mountain, knew almost everything. As long as he wanted to, it would be difficult for any being below the original god without special authority to hide it from him.

But this neighborhood is different. Out of respect for his guests, the God-King will never pry here, and no matter what happens, no one will come close.

With Moanda's support, Iapetus leaned on the corner of the bed. He quietly waited for Fairy Nymph's next move, but the next moment, he was frightened awake by the other party's words.

"Dear God of Speech," Fairy Nymph straightened her expression and said with a smile, "I am here to pay homage to you, as ordered by Mother Earth."

Swish——

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Iapitus immediately sat up straight and forced himself to regain consciousness.

"What did you say?"

Looking at the nymph fairy in front of him with some disbelief, Iapetus even thought that he heard wrongly.

This is not a matter of carelessness. The reason why the God of Speech was unprepared for Moanda was because he believed too much in his priesthood. Previously in the underworld, Iapetus had met the goddess of deception Apate and experienced her power firsthand.

Under the influence of the priesthood, the words of the Deception Goddess seem to contain magic power, and can easily make everyone who hears believe what she says. But also through the priesthood of [Speech], Iapitus can easily identify the words in the other party's words. loopholes.

But today, until he came here, there was no warning in his ministry. The authority of the gods is absolute. Unless the difference in divine power between the two parties is too large, or there is overlap in the priesthood, there will never be any mistakes.

So if the nymph in front of him is not pretending to be a primitive god, it proves that the other party has not deceived him in any way.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't dare lie in front of you. In fact, everything I said before is from the bottom of my heart."

"I do admire the powerful true god, and I am indeed just an ordinary nymph. If I hadn't accepted the order from the Earth Mother this time, I would not have any contact with the gods. If you are willing, after the business is finished, I think we can still talk."

"However," Mo Anda said softly with a slight smile: "Compared with what is going on between us, don't you plan to listen to what Mother Earth has to say?"

While listening to Moanda's explanation, Iapitus' mood gradually calmed down, and he gradually calmed down. Although the Earth Mother is indeed powerful, this is a sacred mountain and belongs to the domain of the God King.

Ever since he controlled the stars and subdued the mountains, Cronus' power as the god-king has grown day by day. Considering that the Earth Mother is not good at fighting, and has just been injured by the split in the priesthood, she may not be able to defeat the God King now.

So after thinking for a moment, the God of Speech said cautiously:

"No matter what the respected Mother of the Gods orders, this is the domain of the God King."

"You are so careful to meet me here. I am afraid that what you want me to do is not allowed by the God King."

"I don't know about that. Your Highness asked me to avoid the God King, so I naturally obeyed."

"Since you don't want to know, I'll take my leave now."

As if he didn't care about his success or failure, Mo Anda gave a slight salute, turned around and planned to leave.

"etc."

Although Iapitus wanted to just watch her leave, he didn't allow himself to follow her here before.

Being aware of it in advance, pretending not to know, and coming in person and then rejecting it are two completely different concepts.

Whether he intends to do it or not, a hearing is always needed.

"Let's be honest, what does Mother Earth want me to do?" After thinking about it for a while, Iapitus said slowly, "I will think about it before making a decision."

Stopping in his tracks, Mo Anda was not surprised at all by the other party's choice.

Just like in front of the true God, Nymph never had a choice. In front of the Earth Mother and the God King, ordinary true gods have no choice.

Some would choose to side completely with one side or the other, but Iapetus was certainly not one of them. He has only been living in the Holy Mountain for a while, and given his weak strength and the status of the Titan Ancient God, the God King has never asked him to do anything.

In Cronus' view, giving birth to Atlas, the god of strength, was Iapetus's greatest contribution to him.

"It's not something that wants you to go against the God King. In fact, the Earth Mother just wants to meet with you."

With a smile, Mo Anda said:

"Actually, this is a good thing for you, isn't it? No one knows what the future of His Majesty the God King will be like, but as the original god who lives with the world, Mother Earth will definitely exist forever."

"Perhaps, your mission has been completed. I will decide by myself whether to go or not."

His face looked a little ugly, but in the end, despite what he said, Iapetus decided to go.

He didn't know whether the Earth Mother was eternal, but according to the prophecies and curses, there was a high probability that the God King was not. At least in his perception, although Cronus's strength is increasing day by day, there is still a significant gap compared with the former God Father.

As long as it's done discreetly, there shouldn't be any problem. At worst, he would find a remote place to hide until Cronus destroyed himself in the face of fate.

······

After the conversation, the God of Speech didn't stay with Moanda much longer.

He hurried back to the previous temple, found his two children, and asked them to go to Oceanus' territory after the banquet. As for his wife Clymene, she is a member of the Ocean Goddess and usually spends a lot of time at the sea.

Prometheus didn't understand his father's request, but he still followed Iapetus's wishes. Epimetheus remained silent, but his father and brother had no intention of consulting him.

Two more months later, the birthday party for the two daughters of the God King finally came to an end.

The gods returned to their respective territories, and Moanda also set off back to the Delphi Plain with Cronus's return gift to the Earth Mother.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, without anyone noticing, Iapitus also left the mountain.

Mixed among the many departing gods, the appearance of the God of Speech was not conspicuous.

No one paid attention to his whereabouts. In fact, this Titan god who liked to stay with humans had never had any sense of presence among the gods. Even the God King thought that Iapitus and his two children were heading to a certain human tribe again.

After rushing all the way, it was already seven days later when Iapitus arrived on the Great Plains of Delphi.

Floating in mid-air, the God of Speech was preparing to fly directly to the residence of Mother Earth, but suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of the human tribe established not far away.

That was the golden human who once stayed near the Oracle of Delphi. Unlike those humans who live on the sea or at the western end of the continent, they are by the side of Mother Earth. Although Gaia pays little attention to them, they still avoid the spread of the divine war.

Therefore, although these humans are also approaching the end of their lives, there is no change in their numbers. Their lives are primitive and constant, and are basically not affected by other human tribes from the outside world.

The God of Speech is a little curious. He and his two children had lived with various humans, but that did not include those at Delphi.

Because he temporarily lives in the Holy Mountain, he has always avoided this place.

"When I meet Mother Earth, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy again. Although I don't know what Mother God wants me to do, it shouldn't be an easy task."

"Anyway, we haven't agreed on a specific time. I might as well take advantage of this moment to go see the humans in these places of origin. After all, due to the subtle relationship between Cronus and the Mother Goddess, I have never gone here. came."

Making a decision in his mind, Iapetus stopped. After thinking for a moment, he gathered his power and transformed himself into a large earth-yellow snake, then landed on the ground and snaked towards the direction of the human tribe.

He didn't intend to reveal his identity as a god, after all, he was just here for a look. The humans here must respect the Earth Mother. If he reveals his true form as a god, it will inevitably attract the worship of humans. He does not want to overshadow the host and cause the displeasure of the Earth Mother.

Following the trails opened by humans either in the woods or in the wilderness, the God of Speech moved quickly on the great plain of Delphi. None of the birds and animals on the road noticed his presence, and no accidents occurred. Iapetus easily sneaked into the settlement of the golden humans.

In this way, he entered Delphi, and the God of Speech did not notice at all that in the sky around the Great Plains, there was actually a group of seemingly naturally born air currents floating continuously.

This airflow surrounds this place, constantly rotating at high speed, monitoring any life that approaches. It also saw the snake that Iapitus transformed into, but unfortunately, it didn't find anything wrong with the snake.

Just like Iapetus was unable to see through the true form of the air current and recognize that it was Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, the god of the west wind was also unable to see through his art of transformation.

In other words, Zeferos never thought that a god would come here in this way instead of flying in openly. Most of his energy is focused on the gods passing by rather than on every animal that comes in and out.

After all, except for himself and the God King, no one knew that Zeferos was ordered to monitor this plain, so he focused most of his attention on the sky and a small amount on the surface.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was fate, in short, the two gods just passed each other without knowing each other's existence.

Three days later, after finishing his visit to the human tribe, Iabertus met Gaia, the Earth Mother, in her hermitage.
