Chapter 306: The Great Zodiac Barrier
Although outsiders don't know it, all the gods, including the Lord of Darkness Erebus, think that the master of the spiritual world is still at the top of the seven-layer world, secretly making his own plans, or quietly watching the changes in the world. . But the Starlight Goddess knows very well that Ryan is not in the spirit world at the moment, and he will not return here even for a long time in the future.
Ryan's arrangements for Chaos have come to an end, at least those related to the gods - there may be others, but they are obviously not understood by the angels.
Just as he had judged, after the Typhon disaster, the tightness of the world's laws will probably be further strengthened. Therefore, as Ryan said before leaving, any troubles encountered in the future will have to be solved by the angels themselves. .
After all, they are with the spirit world and are immortal and sacred. No matter what happens, it is nothing more than a loss of some benefits.
"But I'll do a good job."
She clenched her fist lightly, but Esther didn't want her to let the starry sky out as soon as Ryan stepped forward with his front foot... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look deep into the spiritual world.
The black mist that swallows light and heat is still hovering. Without Ryan's order and the Creator's deterrence, even Lyanna has no way to control the [Sun Eater] wandering deep in the spiritual world.
Just like the name Ryan once gave it, Iclippus is a kind of [ancient evil thing], and no one can really control it. In fact, just like Ryan's judgment of evil objects, he never judged from where the power came from, but based on their tendency to order and chaos, as well as their degree of thinking and reason.
So even though the mother tree was still floating among the remains of the Nine Realms when Iclippus was born, considering its primitive and chaotic thinking, Ryan still classified it as an "ancient evil object" at that time.
"...If it is willing to obey - no, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about the current sun... Forget it, as long as we can use part of its power."
Shaking his head slightly, Esther stepped out of the spirit world and headed towards the direction Athena flew from.
The sun has changed. The [Sun Eater] has no restraint on the power of the mother tree. It cannot solve today's supreme celestial body simply by relying on it.
Although she already had an idea, her strength was far from enough to complete it.
Fortunately, there is still Athena. As intelligent life proliferates on the earth, her divine power is growing faster than Metis in the past. In her hands, the upper limit of the [Wisdom] priesthood was truly revealed.
Among the gods of Olympus today, Hestia's priesthood is weaker than her original one. Demeter is already at the bottom in the field of powerful gods; Hades does not participate in the disputes on earth, and Poseidon It's nothing until you master enough sea areas.
Aphrodite, who masters love and beauty, is almost a decoration. Although like the goddess of sleep, her powerful divine power can even slightly affect the current Zeus when it is fully exerted, but she has lost the little goddess of love in her original trajectory. Her power was greatly reduced as a result; the goddess of life was not around, Apollo's origin was traumatized, not to mention Ares - in fact, Athena at this moment was already the second most powerful god in Olympus.
Not surprisingly, greater strength will inevitably lead to increased status. Perhaps not long after this disaster, the human kingdom of Athens will become another jewel in the goddess's crown.
······
At the core of the sun, Helios' expression moved slightly as he watched another flash of light.
He recognized the person who came. She was the goddess of starlight in the spiritual world, also known as the "Star Spreader", who was also his old opponent - although it was only his unilateral opponent.
Since the Second Era, the starry sky has had many owners, including Hyperion and Cronus. The two gods Tianguang and Baidi who occupy some star fields can also be counted among them, as well as those who live in seclusion deep in the starry sky. The ancient Titan gods, Koos, the lord of the lightless celestial body, and Phoebe, the goddess of light bodies.
The Starlight Goddess is of course included among them. She and other true gods in the spiritual world rule the Zodiac Star Realm, and Helios's sister Selene can actually be regarded as a 'little prince'. After all, although she may be considered weak, she actually inherited a lot of inheritance left by her parents.
Those star gods who had been loyal to Theia, the Mother of Light, would rather go to see Selene than come to see Helios, so an embarrassing situation arose. Across two eras, Helios has never controlled even a star field that obeys his orders. Even the place where the sun travels is theoretically someone else's territory.
"Oh, if it is Zeus, then I will admit it. His power is indeed powerful now, but you still want to target me. Do you think I am still the Helios I used to be?"
With a sneer, Helios wanted to do something, but then stopped.
Now, every moment, the power of countless mother trees shines through all things along with the light emitted by the sun, hiding under the peaceful world. Every bit of power he releases now will become an anchor for Helios to intervene in the outside world after he is sealed by Zeus.
Just like the mother tree uses him and those evil things as a medium to influence the world, those lives affected by the [Corona of the Fallen] will also become his medium. At this moment, it is right to seize the time to release your power. He does not need to pay attention at all——
"What are they doing?"
His expression changed slightly, and Helios suddenly found that his connection with the outside world had been weakened.
No, this description is not correct. It should be said that the part of the power he released that can reach beyond the Zodiac Star Territory has weakened.
In the vast and endless starry sky, the twelve zodiac star fields seemed to have changed. Those illusory stars that had been hidden in the Typhon disaster emerged from the star space again, and slowly moved along the past trajectory. Only this time, there seemed to be some connection between their running trajectories, making them regular and orderly.
The twelve star gods were divided into various parties, and they easily integrated the star field power that they had already mastered. Just like twelve fulcrums, at this moment, the light from the supreme star was absorbed little by little, and then torn apart.
Among them, the part belonging to the [Sun] was divided into thirteen, one fell into a place that was like a black hole in Helios' perception, and the other twelve fell into the twelve star fields. The power of the mother tree was also torn over, but it was not absorbed by the star field, but was directly scattered in the starry sky, and then was divided and suppressed by the power of the star field.
The light was divided, and Helios could feel that this huge ritual composed of stars seemed to be extracting his own power. But it also dared not touch the pollution of the mother tree, so it simply split and transformed it directly.
Separate the original part of the sun from the mother tree and use his own power to fight against himself. With the operation of the ritual, the light shining from the starry sky into the outside world is weakening almost every minute and every second.
"What kind of trick is this? Do you think this can limit me?"
Helios shook the sun with a cold look. The released light changed instantly. They changed from illusory light to evil things with form, and then rushed towards the gradually operating barrier.
Just a few star gods, maybe these evil things are not your opponents, but the starry sky is so vast that you can never kill them all. As long as you can penetrate the barrier, the result will not be any different!
So at this moment, because of the loss of the sun's light, the starry sky dimmed. On the contrary, the zodiac star field, which had just absorbed some of the sunlight, looked shining.
...
Human world, North Sea.
"Hmm?"
Standing on the island that looked like a huge tombstone, Zeus was about to engrave words on it.
Seal the remaining power of Typhon... He hasn't figured out how to do it. But he has already secretly planned how to deal with the follow-up.
This island cannot be abandoned. He will expand it and move more islands to splice it. In the future, he will guide humans to come here-and then see the inscriptions left on it, describing how the God King suppressed the world-destroying demons.
This place will be named Sicily by mortals. They will build temples here to praise the supreme power of the God King, and then spit on the despicable sneak attacks, but the demons who are ultimately defeated by the God King's mighty power.
They will tell this story to future generations, and this is the only story that Typhon will leave in the world. At this moment, the God King is considering the words. Because it involves some of his own secrets, he does not intend to let anyone write this "historical text" for him.
But just when he was about to write, the sky suddenly darkened. The sun that originally emitted red light suddenly lost its light, as if it disappeared in the sea of stars. Zeus looked up suddenly, and soon he understood the principle.
"Boundary, Athena has such a method?"
"No, it's the star gods from the spirit world. Ha, Typhon's disaster, none of these original gods came out, but in the end it was solved by me."
With a sneer, Zeus always felt a little familiar, but not so familiar, looking at the changes in the starry sky.
But it is indeed very effective. In fact, Zeus only intends to let Athena delay time temporarily, and does not really expect her to solve the sun that has changed now. He thought he had to deal with it by himself again. Sealing the sun... that is not a simple matter.
But now it seems that she has done it very well.
This huge ritual seems to borrow the targeting of a certain existence to the power of the [sun], and then unilaterally separates the original power of this celestial body from it, and then absorbs and transforms it with twelve star fields.
Afterwards, these transformed powers can be used in turn to suppress those parts belonging to the outer gods, which is equivalent to using the sun's own power to fight against itself. Even in this process, these powers dissipated in the confrontation can also broaden and strengthen the area of the zodiac star field, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"It's just that she might be in a bit of trouble now. The one that absorbs the power of the [sun] specifically should be the [Sun Devourer] that appeared more than once in the Second Age. It can absorb the light of the sun, but it can't split the power that has turned into evil things in the air."
Zeus smiled, but felt that it was a coincidence, because he immediately thought of a solution.
If possible, he still hoped that Athena could solve this problem directly. After all, if this barrier could take effect, he could save the power to suppress the sun, so without hesitation, Zeus took out a ball of light from his body.
A shining palace, where there seemed to be shouts and clashes of weapons, that was [Hall of Valor], also known as Valhalla.
It was originally the place where Odin, the king of the nine realms, trained warriors. The Valkyries, called Valkyries, went to the human world to select warriors who died in battle and brought their souls here to obey orders. They were originally warriors prepared by Odin for the Ragnarok, so this special palace also had a certain symbol of [war].
Zeus learned some tips from it, but he could not understand any further content. He also had guards who had some combat power but were not very strong.
The God King originally intended to reward Ares and Aphrodite with [Hall of Valor] so that this useless son could expand his divine power in [War], and the trained Valkyries could also serve as the guardians of the goddess of beauty, as the intersection of [Beauty] and [War], but now it seems that they may have other uses.
There are not enough gods, but it is not necessarily necessary to solve the problem of fighting against those evil things that are temporarily transformed by light. With the help of [Hall of Valor], I think this big trouble can be stopped directly in the starry sky.
As for Ares...
"Hmph."
Snorted coldly, just like the original myth, neither Zeus nor Hera actually liked Ares that much.
It's just that the latter has no choice. This is the only child with a powerful divine position born to her and Zeus, but for the God King, he has other options.
"So, where is Apollo?"
If he didn't come before, it might be because he was timid. Although it was a bit inconsistent with Apollo's usual performance, Zeus could understand it. But the disaster of Typhon is over, where is he now?
Besides, he has another problem to solve now... If the sun is gone, at least its light is blocked, then what will the world rely on to get light in the future?
...
PS: (less than 200 words)
I won’t write about the communication between Athena and Esther (nonsense). If someone wants to read it, I can also flash back a chapter, but I think no one will read it. Also, the future that Nuo sees is not here. There is often a saying in the prehistoric novels that "the holy heart is the heart of heaven". The future he sees is even further back.
