#566 - Shaping and Advent
Crash...
In the fragment of time and space, the goddess of beauty quietly waited for the response from the other side.
The rotating vortex connects the abyss and the human world, but the barrier between the two still exists.
Therefore, at the bottom of Tartarus across the channel, in the chaotic space-time, which has not yet fully evolved into a complete interface.
The darkness fluctuates like a stream of water, and also looks like a colorful ribbon.
Aphrodite didn't know that on the other side of the time and space tunnel that seemed as calm as water, an indescribable behemoth was dancing because of her words, causing waves of frenzy like tsunamis.
“…Huh…”
"A body..."
The sound murmured and echoed from all directions.
The voice entered my ears, and my expression was a little dazed.
In the interweaving of reason and madness, so many years have passed in a flash. But at this moment, everything he wanted to find was right in front of him, but no matter how hard Moya tried to recall, he could not remember what he used to look like.
Were you beautiful in the past?
Maybe.
Although he had forgotten everything else, Moya still remembered this one thing clearly.
As a noble Titan, her appearance is undoubtedly beautiful.
But millions of years passed, when Mnemosyne had lived in the abyss for tens of thousands of years, when she was under the influence of Tartarus day and night, she was no longer sure what her former beauty was.
So when the goddess of beauty finished speaking, which was enough to make her extremely excited, Moya was not as excited as she had imagined.
She looked at the rotating space-time tunnel and asked another unrelated question.
"A body that carries my will... that's good."
"You are just the goddess of beauty on earth, the successor of Olympus. As a god in charge of beauty, you should have your own unique understanding of what 'beauty' is."
"As the goddess of beauty, you can surely answer this question for me."
“…”
"Are you asking about...beauty, standards?"
There was some hesitation, and Aphrodite on the other side of the tunnel was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect that she would hear such a question: Beauty is beauty, does it have any standards?
She was stumped for a moment, but Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty after all. Even though she had rarely explored the root of her authority over the past thousands of years, she would have known the answer to this question if she really wanted to know.
So just a moment later, the voice of the goddess of beauty once again reached the abyss.
"…There is no universal standard for beauty, Your Excellency, because beauty is never an objective concept."
"From a human's perspective, there is human beauty; from a deer's perspective, there is deer's beauty; even when their power reaches a certain level, they can also show the beauty of their own domain, just like the blood tree that I have seen that is rooted in the sun. He is the most perfect ultimate of life."
"But in the end, there is no absolute beauty. If there is one, it is probably the world itself. The true function of the authority of [beauty] is not to create an objective, absolute concept of beauty, but to allow me to change with the changes of all things."
"In the eyes of those who love tranquility, the goddess of beauty can be tranquil; in the eyes of those who love passion, the goddess of beauty can be passionate; in the eyes of fish, the goddess of beauty can be a fish; in the eyes of eagles, the goddess of beauty can also soar in the sky."
“The power of beauty can make me the most perfect person in everyone’s eyes, but there is no such thing as being perfect in everyone’s eyes in this world.”
"And the divine body I present to the world is only the one that best fits most people's definition of 'beauty'."
“…Is that so?”
"I see."
Although he didn't quite understand, Moya felt that he understood.
She didn't pay attention to the idea of 'becoming the most perfect person in the eyes of others'. After listening to Aphrodite's explanation, she came to a different understanding.
The so-called beauty is nothing more than the recognition of others. While changing yourself to be recognized by others is one way, changing other people's attitudes and making everyone recognize you is another way.
But the latter is probably difficult to do... The body of the Demon Mother swayed in the chaos, creating endless waves.
In any case, let this worldly god create a body for himself first.
I have forgotten what I looked like in the past, and I don't even remember the aesthetics of the world. In this case, let her play to her own advantage and make a perfect body for herself.
"Goddess of beauty on earth, your answer is very good..."
"But in addition to a verbal response, I still need to see the body you mentioned."
"Since beauty is subjective, then you should create me a perfect body in the eyes of the strongest person in the world."
"Although you are the Goddess of Beauty, some of your ideas are still too naive. What is the value of the so-called 'vast majority' definition of beauty? In the end, this world belongs to the strong."
Aphrodite curled her lips silently, somewhat disdainful of Moya's opinion, but she had no intention of refutation.
As for the life in the abyss, it is normal to have such cognition after staying in such a dire situation for a long time.
After all, that kind of place is worse than the environment in the underworld, so how can it understand "love" and "beauty"?
Even though she looks like a rebellious person and contacts the abyss at the moment, Aphrodite has no intention of really surrendering to Tartarus.
At best, this is a fallback plan and a means of increasing strength.
After all, the power of [Beauty] in her hands is still too non-lethal. In comparison, the power of the Abyss Demon is a full-scale attack.
The gods in this world have always looked down upon places outside the human world. The edge of the starry sky and the underworld are both remote and poor places, not to mention the abyss of hell.
If Helios had not known that he would be liquidated by Zeus sooner or later, he would not have turned to the arms of the foreign gods.
So even though there is a huge gap in power, this does not affect the pride in the heart of the Goddess of Beauty.
Perfection in the eyes of the strongest person in the world, right? Of course, no problem.
Although Aphrodite did not know who was the most powerful among those great gods, and her authority could hardly influence them, she did understand one person's opinion on "beauty".
She had once given her all to make him fall in love with her. The goddess knew only too well the look in his eyes that was so hot that he wanted to crush her and eat her.
So be it, the most perfect in the eyes of the King of Gods... should be able to handle it.
"As you wish, I will do."
"But a body strong enough to carry your will must involve the power of a demon god, and you promised me a reward..."
"You can come to the Abyss to claim it yourself," he said impatiently. However, seeing that Aphrodite did not respond, Moya had to come up with another solution: "You don't have to come, so just make a sufficient sacrifice."
"If you want to bring demon god-level power to the world... you'd better find a better location."
"The stricter the laws of the world are, the more sacrifices you will need. I'll give you three days, so you'd better not keep me waiting."
At first, Moya was planning to imprison the goddess of beauty. As the mother of demons, she was used to being dishonest.
But Aphrodite was not that stupid. She never stepped into the abyss.
But since there is no chance, let's just forget it and consider it when the time is right.
Now Moya just wants to have a normal body as soon as possible so that he can walk in the abyss with confidence.
Just two days ago, the lord who was born on more than 800 levels of the abyss and called himself the "Demon Prince" suddenly sent her a letter, saying that a living god who came here to admire her wanted to visit her and see the glory of the great Demon Mother. Moya was surprised and delighted.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Needless to say, Moya was delighted. He never expected that the "good reputation" he forged in the abyss would spread to the outside world and even lead to a visit from gods.
The gods in the world... She hasn't had face-to-face contact with them in a long time.
As for being surprised, it was because Moya didn't want to break the good impression of the person who came here because of her reputation, but she had no other way to meet him.
Fortunately, this goddess of beauty in this world still has some abilities, and I will definitely reward her greatly.
Thinking of this, Moya's tone softened a lot.
"In addition, you can also send an avatar. I will give her the power of the demon god and the authority to rule an area - of course, I will not give you less than what I originally promised you."
"But Goddess of Beauty, are you sure that the body you created can really carry my will and will not be seen through by other god-level beings?"
"Of course, the new demon has just been born, so you must be careful when using it... As long as the opponent's power does not exceed the upper limit of my power, it will not be able to see through the true form of your will."
"On this point, the authority of the gods is beyond doubt."
Aphrodite said affirmatively, her heart moved.
Leaving an incarnation in the abyss? That’s fine too.
Although the gods do not involve theocracy such as 'time and space' and 'spirituality', and cannot guarantee the uniqueness of their will throughout everything, with the existence of this fragment of time and space, she does not need to worry about the communication between her original body and her incarnation.
As for the sacrifices used to attract the power of the demon, she had already prepared them.
It is impossible for humans. Even if she sacrificed an entire human country, the power of the abyss she would draw in might not be enough.
Fortunately, she only needed to flick her fingers lightly, and a certain starry sky god would collect a lot of corpses from the Zodiac star field, and there were even many evil creatures that were only sealed but not killed.
These offerings were now placed in the secret starry sky arranged by the god, waiting for her to offer them to the abyss. And the price was really insignificant to Aphrodite.
Using evil objects to sacrifice to the devil is a good way to eliminate those disgusting things...So when Aphrodite finally returned to her temple, she immediately flew up and headed towards the starry sky.
"The Moon Goddess..."
Looking at the moon getting closer and closer in the sky, Aphrodite couldn't help but think of the dark moon in the underworld.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes. Few people knew that the reason why the God of Skylight chose to go and check out the turmoil in the Zodiac Star Region as soon as it occurred was actually because of the Goddess of Beauty.
Otherwise, for Aether, who was often harassed by the Olympian heroes led by Perseus, causing more trouble in the Zodiac would be a good thing. He would only applaud and would not be the first to rush to check it out.
But he didn't expect that he didn't wait for Aphrodite, but instead saw Lyanna coming out of the air... and the result is known to all the gods.
"One day, sooner or later, I will also have this kind of power..."
"And unlike you, as the Goddess of Beauty's natural weapon, I know how to use it best..."
Without looking any further, his figure passed by the moon that was streaking across the starry sky.
Although she had heard many people talk about the abyss, Aphrodite had never seen what Tartarus was like.
······
abyss.
【862-11】.
forbidden area.
Under the dark sky, the heavy rain never stopped.
The figure flashed quickly in the rain, and the God King's clone looked somewhat anxious.
Not long ago, he secretly instigated the demons to forcibly break through the barrier covering the city, and left the demon city at the cost of a mark.
According to the map in his memory, Zeus kept looking for a suitable place to hide what he had gained.
The hiding of Mjolnir was successful, as he placed it under a long-dormant volcano.
Although there are not many "fire" elements in the [Thunder Pool], there are volcanoes here, they just don't erupt often.
However, when the first step was completed and he was preparing to find a place to hide the remaining original power of the foreign god of thunder Thor, an accident that Zeus did not want to see happened.
Boundless pressure came from the sky. The Lord of the Abyss who controlled this world was even more powerful than Zeus had expected, and his reaction speed was much faster.
Compared to the abyss demons of medium power that they had encountered before, this being who called himself the "Demon Prince" was simply not on the same level as them.
Before he could find the most suitable place, the powerful aura was already rapidly approaching where Zeus was.
Although the other party did not come to him first, but was trying to capture the demons that ran out with Zeus, but looking at the posture, it was probably impossible for him to hide under the other party's nose.
"I never thought that this so-called 'Demon Prince' actually had some abilities..."
Zeus shook his head slightly, there was nothing he could do about it.
This is entirely a problem of unequal intelligence. As a clone, it is impossible for him to see every detail.
However, in this case, he could only hope that the other party was a demon who would keep his word...
“…Here I come.”
After waiting for a while, feeling the breath pressing down from the sky, Zeus straightened his clothes and prepared to meet this unique demon.
