Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

The khaki light was still fluctuating below, and the figure of the God King became more and more illusory. At this moment, looking at the goddess who was asking for forgiveness in front of him, ‘Kronos’ looked a little strange.

It could be called an act of surrendering to the enemy in a certain year, and I don’t know what the other party will think after today.

“Metis, maybe. Wisdom does have extraordinary power.”

He knew very well whether Metis had done this or not.

He shook his head slightly, and stood in front of the gods with a smile on his face. But with the surrounding environment at this time and what happened not long ago, it was inevitable that there was a sense of disobedience.

The corner of his eye swept over this goddess who was destined to regret again, and the ‘God King’ ignored her, but looked at Zeus behind her.

He would not spend the last bit of time on her.

Standing in the center of the gods, facing the gaze of his ‘father’, the blond god did not dodge, but looked back.

In contrast, many other gods were already a little panicked.

"Not bad."

Nodding, 'Kronos' seemed to agree with this.

"At least you haven't been scared yet."

"."

After a moment of silence, Zeus glanced at his two brothers. What disappointed him was that they performed well. Of course, it might be because 'Kronos' hadn't looked at them yet.

"Everything has a reason, Father God. You have such great power, but you have been fighting with us for ten years before. This should not be just for a joke."

As if he had forgotten how arrogantly he said "I will call you this for the last time" just half a day ago, Zeus still didn't dare to call Kronos' name directly.

But his emotions also stabilized. Now there are only two results. If his father's power is still the same, then even if he kneels down and begs for mercy now, it will be useless. It is better to behave with dignity and then face his own end. And if it is as he guessed, he will not anger the other party at the last moment.

Zeus has always been a pragmatist. Except for the fact that he was complacent and could not control his "little hobby" later, he could tolerate ugly giants, hideous offspring, or anything else as long as it was useful, and it was the same now.

Shaking his head slightly, and again beyond the expectations of the gods present, 'Cronus' did not enumerate the "crimes of rebellion" like Zeus did before, he just asked him a question.

"Zeus, my child, the so-called "destined" to overthrow me, tell me, what have you learned from today's experience?"

"."

After another silence, the "destined new king" in the mouth of the God King was a great irony, but Zeus still said calmly.

"I learned the importance of power, father."

"As long as you have enough power, everything else is not important. Wisdom or power are just means to gain power."

This is not only a way to show weakness by flattering the God King, but also the most real thought of Zeus at the moment. He had the support of half the world's gods and the help of the wisest goddess, but he still failed miserably.

But he didn't understand. The power of the gods comes from nature, and the strength of the king of gods can be roughly judged. Even if, as he thought, the other party was trying to attack a higher level, what was he relying on?

Perhaps, there is a special secret in it. And the reason lies in what Kronos has done over the years.

Maybe it's related to legislation, maybe it's related to the starry sky, or maybe it's related to the creation of life.

If he can pass this level, he will definitely explore the secrets here.

"Is this your answer? It's a bit extreme, but it can't be considered wrong."

Not knowing what the other party was thinking, the king of gods nodded and did not comment on it.

"——What about you, Hades, what do you think?"

Looking at his original eldest son again, 'Kronos' asked lightly.

Now, some of the gods around him with sharp minds seemed to have noticed something.

".I think, instead of coveting others, it is better to strengthen yourself."

Faced with the question of the 'Father God', Hades, who had not shown much in the previous battle, was silent for a while, and then replied.

If Kronos's power does not come from the external authority of the God King, then it must be that his own time and space power has changed, which was also clearly shown in the previous battle.

That level of divine power is definitely not something that a powerful time and space priesthood can do. Perhaps some ways can indeed change the priesthood. If there is a chance in the future, he will also learn to make some changes to the desolate underworld.

His sister, Demeter, is his best choice. Unfortunately, under the influence of the priesthood, the other party instinctively hates the desolate underworld.

"It fits your character, Hades, you are very pragmatic and willing to accept reality."

After making another judgment, 'Kronos' finally looked at his second son.

Among the gods present, he is one of the few who not only did not suffer a loss, but also gained benefits.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, these phenomena that coincide with Poseidon's duties are becoming more and more serious in the world, and there is no sign of stopping.

"Tell me, although I don't have much expectation of you, I should give you a chance."

His face was a little swollen, even for a time it overshadowed the previous nervousness and panic. Poseidon didn't expect that his "Father God" would look at him like this.

But under the strange looks from other gods, he still responded loudly:

"The king's power is supreme, that's what I've learned."

Unlike the other two brothers, Poseidon believes that although the gods can find many reasons for Cronus's power, and can also find many explanations for the power of the previous generation of god kings, they are all processes based on the results.

But he felt that maybe the God King should be this strong without so many secrets. If he were the God King, he could do the same.

However, when faced with his answer, the God King simply said: "Great ambition but little talent."

"It's no different from what I thought."

For a moment, Poseidon felt that the other gods were looking at him a little strangely.

This is a very strange psychology. Even though the God King was their enemy, after he showed such great power, the gods paid great attention to any evaluation he had.

What's more, this is the God King evaluating his male heir.

After asking for a while, I don’t know if I got the answer I wanted. In short, the final power of the God King was gathered on the already somewhat transparent body of 'Cronus'.

The sky in this world is still falling, but an even more depressing atmosphere is spreading among the gods. They didn't know what the God King was going to do, but that didn't stop them from getting nervous.

Then right in front of them, 'Kronus' stretched out his hand and pointed lightly, and a familiar yet unfamiliar force condensed in front of him. Its breath came out and wrapped around the three gods in front of it.

There are more and less, but all three gods have a share.

"What are you going to do?"

Opposite 'Cronus', the voice was a little dry, and an incredible idea came to Zeus's mind.

In other words, he actually had a guess, but when it really happened, he still felt incredible.

"Didn't you guess it?"

Smiling slightly, a surge of pressure surged in front of him. The three gods of Zeus were half kneeling on the ground, but at this moment, they had no idea of ​​resistance.

'Cronus' threw the invisible things in front of him. The authority of the God-King was intangible, and it only became clearly visible under the constraints of the power of 'Cronus'. When it left its original owner, it instantly became invisible. However, under the restraint of its former owner, it formed a wonderful connection with the three gods in front of it.

Some have more, some have less, but everyone has it.

"The world in our eyes is different. What you care about, I actually don't care about."

"The only one who defeats me is myself. The God King will never lose to others."

"But Zeus, I want you to remember—"

His smile remained unchanged, he had lost the power of the God-King that had been insignificant for a long time, and the power of kingship bestowed upon him by this world no longer relied on him. But in the end, with this little strength, I couldn't hold on for long.

But in the eyes of Zeus at this moment, his father's smile was so meaningful.

"——What has been done will be done again; what has been done will be done again."

"Kingdom has no eternity, and wisdom and power are by no means distinct."

"Heaven and earth are separated, and thoughts replace ignorance. Just as it belongs to me now, the era that belongs to you will also come to an end."

"And by then, I will be standing in the sky, waiting for your ending."

Authority departed from its owner, and the final symbol of the Second Age was removed. Something seems to have changed in the world, but because the new God King has not yet taken his place, this change has been temporarily stopped.

Right in front of the gods, the divine body of 'Cronos' was almost invisible, and his voice gradually became smaller. From clear to blurry, accompanied by an undetectable laugh, in one turn, the unrivaled God King seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.

".Father God?"

For a while, no other changes occurred. Zeus asked tentatively, but no one responded to him.

There was nothing in front of him. Even if he raised his perception to the limit, he could not detect the slightest trace of the other party, as if there had never been any god there.

Zeus was not surprised by this. The King of Time and Space should have this ability.

".So, that's it, do we win?"

It's a bit relaxing, but also a bit hard to accept. Everything I experienced before is like a joke and a dream.

The boundless black clouds slowly spread from the east, and the sound of the earth had not stopped. For a moment, Zeus was a little confused.

He didn't know what his father's last words meant, a curse, a curse that he would be overthrown by his own children?

But it's not like that, he really seems to be just commenting on his thousands of years of experience and giving some warnings to those who come after him.

"Zeus, I-"

On the side, the goddess of raw water supported her unconscious husband. The God King disappeared like this. She had been lowering her presence before and was about to say something, but the next moment, a yellow stream of light passed by.

That's Gaia. As the master left, the power of the stalemate with Mother Earth quickly dissipated. Almost immediately, she rushed to the scene.

Glancing at the place where Cronus disappeared, she stared at the gods with her somewhat old face, and asked sternly:

"Where is the man? Where has he gone?"

However, no one among the gods present could give her an answer.
