Chapter 518: Door in the Eye
Offshore of the East China Sea, Unknown Sea.
A few days ago, after preparing everything, Hermes boarded the cloud car driven by the goddess of fate in the tower.
In another world, he had ridden this most common car frame among the gods more than once, but this was indeed his first time using it in this life.
However, considering that Lachesis had guessed his identity as a "traveler", Hermes simply gave up his disguise and no longer pretended to be an unsophisticated person.
After all, it was meaningless to pretend at this point. In addition to superficial obedience, in such a small matter, it would be better for him to be more casual.
Hermes thought so and did so.
However, what he didn't expect was that when this familiarity fell into Lachesis's eyes, the goddess of fate had a different understanding.
"...Mr. Hermes."
"As a great alchemist who cooperates deeply with the Athenian royal family, are you familiar with the goddess of wisdom Athena?"
In the cloud car, he endured for more than ten days.
On the eve of reaching the destination, Lachesis asked this question while looking at the handsome and elegant Hermes.
The speed of the cloud car was not fast. As a courtesy tool, its flying speed was not much faster than that of human ships.
However, no matter how slow it was, it was enough for them to cross the sea and reach the location of the culprit.
"... Her Highness Athena?"
After a slight pause, Hermes slowly opened his eyes while sitting by the window of the cloud car.
Along the way, the great alchemist seemed a little taciturn, because he thought he had nothing to say, and also because of the incomplete portal that had sunk into his body.
As the only person in the world who had successfully crossed the illusion and reality, Hermes' existence itself was the only carrier that could barely keep Him from collapsing immediately.
But for him, this behavior was like carrying a mountain on his back, which was really not easy.
"Ms. Lachesis, you may be wrong."
"I admire the wisdom of Her Highness Athena very much. I have heard many stories about the goddess in Athens."
"But to be honest, I don't have much communication with Her Highness."
"So if you want to know something about her, it's better to seek the answer from fate itself instead of asking me."
"Compared to my shallowness, He will definitely give you a response."
Not knowing why the other party asked this question, Hermes said cautiously.
In the other corner of the cloud car, Lachesis had to accept the response.
Maybe she thought too much, and the other party would not lie to her.
After all, cloud cars are not rare, and Hermes may not have seen them at Athena's place.
But no matter what, this discovery still made Lachesis a little depressed.
Under the influence of that inexplicable sense of closeness, the goddess of fate only hoped that the other party belonged to her alone.
In addition, it would be best if all gods and humans did not have anything to do with him.
Well, yes, it belongs to me alone... Holding the window frame irritably, Lachesis didn't know where this inexplicable desire came from.
Although as one of the three gods of Mount Nisa, she had witnessed the love, hatred and hatred of countless creatures in her fate, and even with this experience, she could perfectly disguise herself as another person, just like turning into Helen to deceive Paris's trust.
But at that time, she was like a player controlling a character in a game. Although she could make correct judgments, she could not hide the sense of detachment.
When it was her turn to experience this incomprehensible emotion in person, Lachesis immediately didn't know what to do.
She could only recall what she saw in the fate of all living beings and try to find similar examples.
Possessiveness, or admiration?
I don't know whether to nod or shake my head.
Just like the girl couldn't distinguish between panic and heartbeat under the suspension bridge effect, at this moment, looking at the profile of Hermes, Lachesis covered her heart.
She couldn't distinguish this emotion, and the only similarity made her feel absurd.
In order to repair the defects of fate, a life that should not have been born was born.
Born to complement each other, maybe... is this destined love?
"... Ahem."
"Ms. Lachesis, we are here."
"Ah?"
With a light cough, the corner of Hermes' mouth twitched
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and reminded Lachesis, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
The cloud car had stopped for a while. The great alchemist didn't know that the goddess of fate had just been thinking about her "true love", and this person happened to be himself.
At this moment, Hermes just felt that the other party was really rampant.
Since she suddenly mentioned Athena just now, Lachesis has been looking at him with a fiery look, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
No, strictly speaking, this look has been there since she came to the tower not long ago, but now, the other party has no longer concealed it.
"Ms. Lachesis, I mean, we are here."
Taking a deep breath, Hermes repeated again.
And this time, Lachesis finally responded.
The goddess of fate blushed, as if she was also aware of her distraction. Lachesis apologized awkwardly:
"...I'm very sorry, Mr. Hermes, I just-"
"It's okay, business is more important."
She spoke quickly, not wanting to say more.
Hermes didn't wait for the other party to respond, he got off the cloud car first.
At this moment, they seemed to be parked above a large island, and a real cloud blocked the mortals' upward vision.
Looking down from a high place, many ships could be seen parked nearby, and many figures were moving around on the island.
That was the army of the Athenians. As for this island, it seemed that there were traces of human habitation not long ago.
But now, Hermes could only see a look of being washed by the flood, and all the original residents had disappeared.
Recalling what happened on the sea not long ago, the great alchemist probably guessed the cause and effect of the matter.
This was a terrible disaster, and the source of the disaster was the God King and Poseidon.
In that shocking change that Hermes didn't know and didn't want to know, the humans on this island might have been affected, and then swept away by the crazy sea water, leaving only an empty island.
As for why the Athenians were here... it seemed that they seemed to intend to use this place as a new base.
"Mr. Hermes, it seems that the human is nearby..."
The voice came from behind, and Lachesis's eyes swept over everything under the clouds.
Without paying attention to the busy mortals, the goddess of fate stepped down from the cloud car and searched for the target.
There are countless mortals on the island. If they are searched one by one, it will take a long time.
However, when Lachesis's eyes swept across the earth, suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came to her heart.
Near the only volcano on the island, she instantly locked onto a figure.
"It's him - Hermes, that's him!"
"Quick, catch him!"
The voice was excited with a bit of excitement. When she saw the figure, Lachesis almost immediately felt an unusual intuition.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
This feeling is hard to describe, and the backlash of fate seems to make this feeling vague.
But compared with Atropos, the backlash that Lachesis carries is still too little.
Taking a step forward, at this moment, the goddess felt that her spirit seemed to be in fear and joy.
"Is it him? I know."
Hermes also noticed the figure and spoke calmly.
He had seen the other person at the ceremony of the new king of Athens' succession to the throne.
Although the ceremony had nothing to do with him, he still paid some attention to the new king because of his pleasant cooperation with Theseus.
In his impression, he was a priest with unknown power source, who seemed to believe in a god that he had no impression of in the virtual world.
But he didn't expect that the person Lachesis was talking about was actually him.
Turning his eyes, Hermes looked at the goddess of fate in front of him.
In his eyes, the gate of starlight shone brightly.
······
The underworld, in the darkness that enveloped the realm.
The night rose and the sun fell, and the tides rose and fell.
When the day of the world came, the tide of the eternal night also receded, returning to this holy land of eternal peace.
On a path shining with starlight, Hypnos, the god of sleep, was still cautiously moving forward along his memory.
Sometimes some terrible lives approached here, but they seemed to be afraid of the remaining power on this road, so they never dared to move forward.
This is the periphery of the Land of Eternal Night. The remnants of the beginning of creation have become real life under the enlightenment of spiritual power.
They uphold chaos and fear, silence and nightmare, follow their own nature, and try to destroy all living things in the world.
The further in, the rarer and stronger these lives are.
Until crossing a certain boundary point, a place where even the light white sleeping flowers no longer grow, the power of the night itself begins to gradually become thinner.
No one could have imagined that in the center of the Land of Eternal Night, the power of the night is no longer the dominant one here.
Instead, there are three rules that have never appeared in the outside world.
[Fate and Causation]
[Inevitable Constant]
[Natural Order]
They turned into a stable triangle, supporting a sky at the core of the Eternal Night.
As they intertwined with each other, they seemed to form three vague shadows.
There were no colorful visions, no terrifying pressure.
They just existed there, like the midpoint of the universe, the cornerstone of the operation of all things.
Tap...
Tap...
Tap——
Black veil covered her face, skirt trailed on the ground.
For the countless times, Nyx walked into the area at the center of her domain.
She didn't need to ask for anything. When she stepped here, a kind of resonance appeared faintly in her body.
The three shadows seemed to become active, or they should have been active, but they were just restricted by something.
And at this moment, at least here, Ms. Ye was sure that she was invincible in the world.
"... Invincible in the world... It doesn't seem that difficult, right, Ryan."
"Just such power, would you want it?"
"..."
No one responded, and Nyx didn't want others to respond to her.
After a long time, she gently raised her hand, looked at her three shadows, and Ms. Ye pressed her palm on one of them.
The black skirt vibrated, and the night was dark.
The power of the eternal night once again prevailed in her domain, and the secrets once again enveloped this area.
I don't know how long it took before Nyx slowly withdrew her hand and took a step back.
Her aura was slightly weakened, but within her own realm, she returned to normal in just a moment.
From ancient times to the present, each god has his own authority.
In Chaos's world, there are three goddesses who claim to be able to control fate.
But in fact, since the birth of the world, there has always been only one person who truly controls fate.
