The Dragon That Devours the World

Not long after, the handsome and affectionate prince and the cruel and ruthless hunting queen came by the wind, and the brother and sister heard their mother's call and put down everything in their hands.

Looking at the children, Leto felt both joy and sorrow.

She stepped forward, hugged the two children, kissed their foreheads and cheeks, and burst into tears.

"My children, my outstanding children, I am proud of you, and I have never been inferior to any goddess except Hera. But now I am humiliated by an arrogant and ignorant mortal woman."

"My altar was overturned by her, my reputation was damaged by her, and even you were claimed by her to be inferior to her children. If you don't help me, I have no face to see other gods."

The goddess, who felt more and more sad as she spoke, choked up in her voice.

Naturally, she came from an extraordinary background. She was a child of the ancient Titans and deserved to be honored, but because of Hera's anger, she had to hide.

For many years, she has been wronged herself, careful to avoid her not being noticed by Hera, but the dignified goddess is so subservient that even a mortal dares to laugh at her now. Years of grief and anguish poured into his heart, making his heart more and more distressed.

Apollo stared at the mortal world, and when he saw the small altar that was knocked over, he already understood the cause and effect.

"My mother, there is no need to complain, we will now let that mortal have a taste of punishment."

Apollo fiddled with the harp in his hand, and when his slender fingers plucked lightly, a crisp sound came out.

The smile on the corner of this handsome young man's mouth faded, his expression was indifferent, and the usual sunshine disappeared from his eyes. Beside him, the queen who likes hunting and takes life for pleasure all day laughed. The queen's smile was cruel and terrifying.

The two great gods flew in the clouds, and in a moment they reached the sky over the city of Cadmus.

Reaching out his hand to take an arrow, he shot and killed Amphion's eldest son, who was hunting on horseback.

It didn't stop, the arrows in the hands of the two great gods kept on hitting the man's neck, or through the man's throat, or through the man's eyes. The children were never spared, and in an instant they killed all the sons of the king and queen.

During this period, those mortals panicked and wanted to avoid, flee, and even fight back with the bows and arrows in their hands, all of which were useless.

After the great **** killed all the seven children, he wanted to leave, but Apollo, who was proficient in prophecy, persuaded his sister.

"My sister, wait a minute."

Having said that, the **** pointed to the city. Signaling that the matter is not over yet, while speaking, he snorted coldly.

The two great gods were hidden in the clouds, and after a while, the queen had heard the news from outside the city, and her face was pale. She hurried out of the city with her daughter, and when she saw the bodies of her seven sons, she immediately understood that this was the goddess' revenge.

"Vicious goddess, you've won, you've won, you're the winner, just watch it all with schadenfreude, you domineering woman!"

The queen's eyes widened in anger, she shouted to the sky, and then she fell to the ground in a daze, crying non-stop. She regretted her slip of the tongue, and was even more angry at her son's death.

The seven daughters came to comfort their mother, and the woman surrounded by her daughters, seeing the many daughters beside her, the queen received a little comfort.

Immediately, she felt a sense of pride in her heart.

The full of anger and the pride in her heart made her raise her head, and she looked at the sky and the invisible goddess mockingly.

"Yes, you won, but so what? Even if you killed seven of my sons, my daughters still outnumber yours."

The thrill of venting came spontaneously, even if her sons died, she still had these seven beautiful daughters, didn't she? After all, it was far more than that poor woman's child.

But then, she heard a voice in a trance.

"idiot…"

After the mocking male voice, there was a clattering of bowstrings.

A daughter who was surrounded by her fell down, and then arrow after arrow, several daughters fell to the ground one after another.

The queen who reacted was horrified, she only had time to cover the youngest daughter under her body and raised her head to beg the sky.

"Keep one for me, please keep one for me, for Zeus' sake."

The queen wailed, but the arrow still delicately avoided her body and hit the little daughter who was sheltered by her.

The Great God did not kill her, because the Great God wanted her to feel the most painful grief.

And when the queen was at a loss and sad, she heard the last bad news. After hearing the tragedy of her sons and daughters, her husband committed suicide in despair.

So far, this woman who had all the happiness in the world has lost her husband, son, and daughter. Alone.

After that, it is said that the woman committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

…

It wasn't long before the matter reached Zeus' ears.

Logically speaking, this is just an ordinary grievance after all, and it is not worthy of Zeus' concern, but this father of man and **** has a rare contemplation.

After a while, the **** king began to restrain the gods intentionally or unintentionally, so that the gods could no longer descend to the world at will.

"Hmph, do you know why Zeus suddenly restrained the gods from descending to earth?"

Orochi slept in the depths of the underworld, but Snake Girl always came to tell it about the outside world from time to time, and when it came to Zeus's action, Orochi just sneered and dismissed it.

Although Snake Girl had some guesses, she still shook her head obediently.

It was rare for God to be free, so she naturally wanted to flatter him.

Orochi doesn't care about Snake Woman's mind.

"Zeus doesn't care about the lives of several mortals on the ground, even if they are his descendants, but the arrogant indulgence of Tantalus and Leto shows some problems."

The big snake's erect pupils are slightly open, indifferent and ruthless, and the breath of the underworld is slowly breathing in the nostrils.

The breath of the underworld is cold and cold, and mortals will get sick when they touch it, but the big snake only feels sleepy. The thought of it having to endure this kind of breath for another 10,000 years makes it impatient.

"He wanted to let the gods directly manage the world, but Tantalus and Leto both proved that mortals will lose their reverence for gods after being in contact with gods for a long time, and instead want to test the boundaries of gods."

"Tantaros killed his son and cooked food for the gods, just to test whether the gods really knew everything. Leto dared to mock the goddess because of her high status. Back then, her Even at the wedding, God will send blessings and gifts, and her treasures are not lacking in God’s utensils, wearing God’s clothes and using God’s utensils.”

"Those gods don't care about this, but they don't realize that, for mortals, since their clothing and food are no different from gods, and their interactions are also gods and fairies between heaven and earth, what is the difference between themselves and gods? Or…"

"What is the difference between God and Himself?"

The slightly opened pupils overlooked the small figure in front of him, and the small figure was also reflected in the pupils.

"Mona, this is the nature of mortals. Zeus realized this nature of mortals, so he gave up letting the gods directly manage the earth, and restrained the gods from descending frequently, because the gods were not suitable for managing the earth."

Snake thought for a moment, then asked.

"Since Zeus no longer allows the gods to directly manage the earth, then who will he let to manage the earth? It's impossible for this god-king to give up control of the earth."

The big snake didn't answer, but snorted coldly and slowly fell asleep.

He knew exactly what the dozing lion king was thinking, but he just watched from the sidelines.

After realizing that the big snake fell asleep again, the snake girl was not surprised, but just retreated silently, waiting for the big snake to wake up again one day in the future.

But when the serpent fell asleep, it also dreamed something.

"…"

In the broken image, there is a vague figure, its eyes are pitiful, like a mother looking at a child, and its lips move slightly, as if saying something.

Predicting dreams? Still a dream?

The serpent didn't care, its dreams could see the past, future, and present, but it always didn't care about this kind of thing.

"Typhon..."

"…You're back…"

The figure seemed to be saying something, and her eyes were soft.

But in contrast, the big snake just yawned and planned to ignore those images.

"…"

And after the figure said something, he seemed to realize that the audience was not interested, but he didn't care, but seemed to be still smiling.

"…"

After that, the figure seemed to say a lot, but the snake completely ignored it.

After that, the dream was broken, and the big snake fell asleep completely.

…

Above the underworld, the God of the Earth, who had been sleeping for many years, woke up briefly and then slowly fell asleep again.

She has lived for too long and is tired of everything. She should have been completely dormant like the other primordial gods, but she just woke up briefly after being touched.

The God of Earth looked in the direction of Hades, said something, and fell asleep again.

...just come back...
