Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Flames and shadows, mixed with chaos and a terrifying aura that strikes directly at the physical nature of mortals.

In Zeus' eyes, the structure of the abyss creature in front of him seems to be a weapon born for battle.

It is several times taller than humans, but it is not too tall to affect its flexibility; the strong body is burning with unextinguished flames, and the wounds scratched by dragon claws are dripping with blood plasma that corrodes the rocks.

The curved demon horn flashes with cold light, but from the perspective of the God King, this is not a weapon used to attack the enemy, but an amplifying device for controlling the elements.

After all, there is no magic net in the abyss, so if these native creatures do not want to use their chaotic and barren mental power to control the ubiquitous elemental power, it would be best if there is something to help increase their blood's appeal to the elements.

Behind it, there is a pair of broad wings. But Zeus can also see that it should not rely on flapping to fly.

"Another path of bloodline? Such a path may not be a good thing... But this is the abyss, it doesn't matter to these demons."

Since the Dragon Mother has already taken action, Zeus can't say anything more. He just took this opportunity to explore the source of the abyss life force.

And there is no doubt that the power and life form of the abyss demigod in front of him are completely inseparable from the bloodline.

But such a path should also stop before the true god, so the God King didn't care too much.

As for the desperate struggle of this abyss life at this moment, he didn't care about it at all.

"Well... their official name seems to be 'demon', which is appropriate."

Nodding secretly, looking at the elemental fluctuations stirred up by the demigod demon, Zeus couldn't help but comment in his heart.

Although he didn't know what the principle was, this explosive secret technique was really extraordinary. In a short period of time, its aura has more than doubled, but it is still not good enough for a true god...

"...Wait, it doesn't seem to be exploding--"

"Roar..."

His face suddenly changed. For some reason, the scene in front of him made Zeus feel somewhat familiar.

It was also suppressed, and there was no hope of winning. It seemed that another existence had done something similar a thousand years ago.

At this time, on the blood-red earth, a low roar mixed with some unfamiliar language, and the demon with broken wings looked up at the sky.

Looking at the Queen of Dragons and Zeus, the Flame Demon felt the aura that was incompatible with the abyss. Even though the gap in strength was as big as a mountain and as deep as the sea, there was only tyranny and murderous intent in its eyes.

"Outsider...the devil's helper..."

"Die with me...together--!"

"Spell-like [Burning Explosion]!"

Buzz...

Boom--!

In an instant, it was like a small sun rising from the ground, and the fire wave wrapped in divinity swept across a hundred miles.

The low hilltop was razed to the ground, and a huge roar resounded throughout the field. In addition to the breath of the demigod Flame Demon, a little bit of the power of the interface spread along with the explosion.

The continuous explosions showed no sign of stopping. At this moment, Zeus retreated without hesitation.

Another madman like Typhon, who wanted to fight to the death at the slightest disagreement, and did not know how to judge the situation at all!

But the power of this self-explosion exceeded Zeus's imagination. With the blessing of that little bit of interface power, the self-explosion of the Flame Demon had reached the realm of the gods.

With an ugly face, Zeus quickly recognized the source of this power. Just like the "domain" of the regional god, this demon was probably recognized by the [Wanyuan Plain] and was the master of a territory in this layer of the interface.

Although the insignificant part of the complete interface was not enough for him to go further, the self-explosion undoubtedly filled the gap greatly, so much so that the God King and the Dragon Mother were greatly surprised.

"How dare you... Get down!"

Bang——

The flames were still burning and spreading, but the next moment, the Dragon Mother seemed to be finally enraged.

The dragon wings vibrated, and invisible pressure swept across the fields.

Under the power of the Dragon Mother's explosion, the originally scattered flames were immediately suppressed.

The blood-red earth trembled slightly, and then slowly returned to calm.

After a long time, the impact of the fire demon's self-explosion was calmed down, and only Zeus and the Dragon Mother were suspended in the air.

"Five-color Dragon Mother...I have advised you not to be impulsive. This is not a world dominated by order."

"Violence and killing cannot solve the problem. Not all beings are afraid of your intimidation. And obviously, the chaotic environment of Tartarus will not produce creatures like those in the human world."

Take a deep breath, Zeus didn't know if this movement was considered big, but fortunately, there was no sign of local god-level existence approaching so far.

He wanted to reprimand the subordinates of the Lord of Darkness, but considering that the two sides still had a long way to go to cooperate, he suppressed his anger.

"Its self-destruction is the result. If you continue like this, I don't think we can carry out our mission together. According to your approach, it won't be long before we attract local gods, or even more powerful beings..."

"There won't be a second time."

He interrupted lightly, and the dragon-like arm returned to its original state.

For some reason, compared to Zeus's obviously suppressed anger, the Dragon Mother, who was facing failure at this moment, was unexpectedly calm.

She looked at the place where the Balrog had just self-destructed, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, and even a faint smile could be seen.

"It's better this way."

Helplessly shaking his head, the God King didn't really want to deal with these reckless men, but the Chaos world has never been a place where intelligence determines strength.

"In that case, let me handle it when those elves have new discoveries."

"I will get what we need from the mouths of these native creatures, you just need to wait."

"Cronides, are all the gods of Olympus unable to understand others like you?"

"What?"

"I said, there won't be a second time, and there doesn't need to be a second time."

Speaking lightly, a trace of greed and desire flashed between the Dragon Mother's narrow eyes.

She stepped forward and reached out to the place where the Flame Demon exploded and fell.

Buzz...

In the dark, the buzzing sound of laws sounded, and the order that reached the depths of the [Wanyuan Plain] seemed to appear in this small place.

In Zeus's somewhat astonished eyes, a winding and twisted incomplete rune that seemed to contain the root of chaos slowly rose from there.

It fell directly into the palm of the Dragon Mother, and then bonded with her flesh and blood.

In an instant, Tartarus' boundless and majestic will seemed to pour out a tiny corner here.

With it, the Dragon Mother faintly rose a little power and a breath that was almost integrated with the abyss.

"What did you do?"

It was incomprehensible. Although Zeus was also a god king who had reached the realm of great divine power, he was still fundamentally different from the other primitive gods.

On the one hand, his power was firmly bound to the position of the God King, and on the other hand, the primitive gods of the material world had more or less intersections with the chaotic abyss.

Even Gaia, the cornerstone of the present world, did not have no chaos in her foundation, but it was just a difference of more and less, just like the remnants of the beginning of creation were hidden under the present order before the legislation, but the power of the God King was different.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

So he could not see anything about the changes in the Dragon Mother in front of him.

"Hey, God of Olympus, as you can see, I am now the Lord of the Abyss."

"Why do you need to inquire if you want to know the news of the Abyss? You don't really think that everyone else is stupid and you are the only smart one."

"This is Tartarus dominated by chaos, not the orderly material world. The solution you think is feasible may only lead to the opposite result here."

"Killing, war."

"Devouring, sublimation."

"This is the law of the abyss, the truth of chaos."

"But think about it, It's normal. The domain of the Lord of Darkness runs through both sides of Chaos at the same time, but the God King of Olympus does not have such ability, so you don't understand this truth. "

"In addition, you are a true god in the world. Under the constraints of the priesthood, I am afraid you cannot accept the gift of Tartarus."

"So this power... is destined to be out of your reach."

The voice became more and more indifferent and evil. Just like the silver human and the god of sleep who were once contaminated with the source of darkness, the dragon mother who suffered from the remnants of the mother tree's power and the flesh and blood of Erebus at the beginning of her birth was also a natural evil god.

Tyranny and cruelty are only appearances, cunning and conspiracy are the nature engraved deep in her blood.

Of course, she knew that simple and rough destruction was not conducive to the exploration of information, but killing the demon who was vaguely connected to the interface power of [Wanyuan Plain] could help her "explore" what the operating logic of this world is like.

As expected, just as she expected, Tartarus not only did not react to this, but also allowed her to take over the authority of the lord of the fire demon.

"Okay, according to the information from this authority, [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains] is the first interface of the abyss, and it is connected to more than one layer of the abyss at the same time, even on the opposite side of it..."

The voice gradually became smaller, as if she found something while checking the message, and the Dragon Mother immediately skipped this topic.

"...Even among the many levels of the abyss, the [Wanyuan Plain] is the most powerful one."

"If any secondary demon lord can completely occupy it, it will not only be able to obtain the power close to the powerful divine power interface, but it can also sublimate its bloodline and become a demon god at the level of a true god."

"Of course, to this day, this layer of the abyss has no real master, so the authority I have obtained has no "superior". There were demons who were about to rule it, but they all fell before dawn."

"Hehe, this saves a fierce battle. Otherwise, the will of the abyss does not care that I become the lord here as an outsider, but it does not mean that the master who rules this interface does not care."

"The changes of each lower lord cannot be concealed from the great lord who controls one interface. It seems that our luck is pretty good."

It is said to be luck, but in fact only the Dragon Mother herself knows that this is not luck at all. She chose to accept the lord of the first layer of the abyss for a special reason.

Compared with Zeus's caution, the Lord of Darkness is actually fully prepared for the trip to the abyss.

Just like the information obtained from the secondary lord's mark, there is an interface called "Shura Field" in the space and time opposite to "Wanyuan Plain".

The Dragon Mother glanced at Zeus and did not mention this news.

Let him find out these things that he shouldn't know. Anyway, both of them know that the other has his own purpose. The reason they are still together is that they still need each other.

"..."

"... This is indeed my problem. I didn't understand your meaning. I really made you laugh."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It was infuriating to hear others laugh at you, but it was another feeling to hear others laugh at you without knowing who you are.

But this time when the Dragon Mother compared him with Erebus, he couldn't refute it.

"Your Majesty the God King did miss something about the chaotic realm... But Your Excellency the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, you just said that the demons who rule this layer of the abyss can not only be blessed by the power of the interface, but also "sublimate their bloodline", and then have the "demon power" comparable to the gods?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Not understanding what the Olympian god was doubting, the Dragon Mother asked back.

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand what he meant, Zeus had to frown and explain:

"I mean, are you sure that the so-called 'power of the demon god' is not some kind of power similar to the priesthood, or directly a part of the power of the abyss, but is achieved through the so-called 'blood sublimation'?"

"Of course, although there are some people who are involved in the will of the abyss, some of them have basically nothing to do with Him. The reason why there are so many races in the abyss is also due to Tartarus's own instigation."

"So this is blood sublimation, not the power bestowed as you think - hehe, I seem to understand, you think that the power of blood should not be able to shape the existence of gods, right? After all, in the eyes of you gods, there are only the gifts of the laws of the world."

Sneering, the Dragon Mother felt that there was no need to say more to this god of Olympus. With the mark of the secondary lord in hand, she can return to the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains] at any time with relatively easy means, that's enough.

As for Chronides' confusion... this is the knowledge barrier of the real gods in the world, or the argument shared by the gods of Chaos.

After all, the power of a true god comes from authority, and Chaos's divine authority comes from the world, which is neither divisible nor inherited, and it is even more impossible to obtain through blood.

In this case, the true bloodline path that the Dragon Mother herself is walking on is naturally not understood by them.
