#573 - Admiration and shock

Abyss, in an unknown interface.

A sea of ​​flowers rises, vines and plants weave into shape.

Now that he had received a positive response from his original body, the incarnation of the God-King put aside his last bit of doubt.

Looking at the figure in front of him, he didn't intend to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then, in a flash, a palace made of flowers, plants and trees rose from the ground, covering the figures of Zeus and Moya.

For a moment, the fate in the dark seemed to be shaking slightly, celebrating the correction of the original wrong path.

The laws of the world and the abyss also began to gradually approach in an unknown place, waiting for the God-King's further actions.

As if a blessing had come to their mind, both the incarnation and the real body of Zeus had an epiphany at this moment.

He was supposed to give birth to nine goddesses with the being before him, but fate took a turn before he could ascend the throne.

Therefore, the gods appointed by heaven have changed, not only in number but also in identity.

It is hard to say whether this is good or bad for the present world. After all, no matter what, the God King has given the gods who could not be born a chance to be born again.

But for Zeus, this was a real opportunity.

After all, this time it's different from the request of the demon prince.

This time, he doesn't have to worry about causing the wrath of the world, and his bloodline can still be preserved.

Sarah——

With a wave of his hand, the palace gate made of grass and trees closed.

After a while, as the ground shook slightly, an invisible wave gradually spread out with this place as the center.

At first it was just this interface, then it spread to the nearby abyss, and finally covered the entire Tartarus, and even reached places far beyond the present world.

Deep in the starry sky, Aphrodite, who was waiting quietly in front of the sacrificial gate, was shocked.

When the wave approached her, the goddess of beauty felt an incomparably great will descending upon her. The favor of the will from the abyss descended upon her, and along with it came the power of her race, which suddenly grew countless times stronger.

The demon tribe that she had created not long ago and consisted of only two or three cats and kittens seemed to have expanded countless times in an instant, becoming a large demon tribe spread throughout Tartarus. Even the will of the abyss showed a little more preference for it.

So even though Aphrodite was shocked by this sudden change, she was only shocked for a moment and then acted as if she hadn't heard anything about it.

Invisible waves passed through the goddess of beauty, but did not terminate the transaction.

The true God present in front of the Gate of Sacrifice is only one of His targets, and there are many more besides.

The supreme will descended upon [862-11-Thunder Pool] almost at the same time, and two tremendous forces descended one after another.

In the center of the interface, the Demon Prince, who had just seen off the incarnation of the God-King, looked overjoyed.

Faced with the will of the abyss that descended from the sky, it only felt that the upper limit of its growth, which had been suspended due to Zeus's stop, began to rise again.

The true identity of the Demon Prince also began to condense... and at the edge of the interface, another force that also arrived seemed to be arriving reluctantly.

He seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with the target, but he was unable to make an accurate distinction in such a hurry.

Although the Will of the Abyss is far more active than the laws of the world, its power is far inferior.

Although the problem could not be found immediately, the will that came out of instinct ultimately gave a reward according to the wishes of the person who made the contribution.

Then countless demon essences rolled down like a tide and poured into the body of the demon with a human body, a snake tail and eight arms.

On the ground at the edge of the interface, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the eight-armed snake demon.

Looking up at the sky, the big snake's face showed surprise and a bit of admiration.

It was not surprised that its tracks could be discovered by the will of Tartarus, but what it never expected was that it would actually receive a reward from the other party.

Is it because of the incarnation of Zeus?

It should be.

But the other party should not have chosen to complete the bloodline of the Demon God, so where did this reward come from?

"hiss……"

He neighed softly, not thinking for long.

Even though it is hard to believe, if we eliminate all the impossible options, then no matter how unlikely the remaining option is, it can only be the only truth.

"But this shouldn't be the case... Zeus, it turns out he is so brave."

"In that case, I have underestimated the people in the world..."

His expression was solemn and he sighed softly. Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes, a sense of respect arose from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, although it was indeed me who revealed Zeus's whereabouts to the Demon Prince and it was me who gave him this idea, but realistically speaking, apart from the idea of ​​gaining some benefits, it was just for the fun of watching Zeus hastily escape and even destroy his incarnation.

As for other possibilities, although Da She had thought about it, he never thought that it would really come true.

After all, even if Poseidon is not picky about meat and vegetables, he only targets humans whose beauty cannot be appreciated. Birds, beasts, and even fish all have extraordinary appearances in the eyes of their own kind.

However, up to now, whether the snake is willing to believe it or not, the facts seem to be in front of it.

This seemingly ordinary God King...is actually so terrifying in his heart!

"There is an old saying among the mortals of later generations."

"Those who have accomplished great things in the past did not have extraordinary talents, but they also had unyielding determination!"

"God King Zeus is the true embodiment of this sentence."

The snake was shaken and hesitated for a moment. It felt the Abyss Demon God's source power that kept coming, but the amount was slowly decreasing over time, and it made a decision in its heart.

brush--

Silently, the [Mirror of Spreer], which controls part of the power of the [Space] field, fell into his hands.

It knew that if it used the power of this artifact here, Tartarus would probably soon discover its problem.

By that time, the little Demon God source power that had not yet been collected was small, but a siege was almost foreseeable...

But after thinking about it carefully, Da She felt that this was not a problem.

First of all, if it had dived into the abyss in the past and was discovered, the suppression of Tartarus and the Mother of Demons would have arrived almost instantly.

Even if the real body of the Midgard Serpent came here, it would never have a good ending.

At this moment, even if he was exposed, Moya would definitely not have the time to care about it. As for the Abyss Will...it wouldn't be long before He would also have no free time.

After all, feeling this increasingly grand and vast idea, and experiencing the trembling and joy of the laws of the abyss, the big snake knew that a transformation that was extremely crucial to him was about to begin.

The arrival and actions of the God-King gave Him the most important opportunity and key, and now, Tartarus is ready to begin a sublimation that is doomed to fail.

"Failure... yes."

“This is the meaning of personality.”

"Compared to the instinct of learning from failure and not turning back until you hit the wall, only an independent personality will learn from others' experience and prevent oneself from going in the wrong direction."

With a calm expression, Da She easily came to the conclusion.

Maybe the simple Midgard Serpent wouldn't dare to say it so surely, but Ryan is qualified to make such a judgment.

After personally participating in the destruction of a world, he deeply understood that it was not so easy to condense the characteristics of the creation field.

The opportunity that Zeus has currently created for the abyss cannot be said to be completely useless, but its usefulness is definitely not as great as imagined.

The condensation of the characteristics of creation is like a mortal ascending to the throne of God. It may be just a steady step forward, or it may be a direct step to heaven.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, the bigger the leap, the greater the difficulty. Even for the most ordinary impact, an opportunity like today's is just a chance, but not a big one.

Driven by instinct, the target chosen by Tartarus for his first attack was so far away.

[Chaos], as expected, the characteristic that He wanted to sublimate was none other than [Chaos], the most important representative of the otherworldly realm.

If He succeeds, then the promoted Tartarus will probably have the power to suppress the mother tree immediately, even though the two were born so far apart in time.

But just compare it with the other two and you will know how difficult it is to achieve this behavior.

Starting with the annihilation war before the end of one world and taking the fall of his other self, La Atum, Amon merely sublimated the "replacement" that highlights the debate between "existence and non-existence" from the "absolute void" represented by the eight original gods that combined in pairs; and ending with the destruction of the other world and taking an incredible war as an opportunity, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood also simply found the key from the changes of "life" and "death", and condensed and sublimated His "immortality".

Even if Ryan didn't know so much about these two processes, those two worlds were far from being comparable to Chaos today. He could fully conclude that if Tartarus just wanted to sublimate a certain area of ​​his mastery of symbols, perhaps he still had a chance of success.

But since the object of His sublimation is Chaos, there is no reason for Him to succeed.

so……

"So, as the creator of the [Book of Years], how could I not record such a major event that could affect the course of Chaos' world and even involve a great being at the pinnacle of divine power impacting a higher realm?"

With a grin, not to mention anything else, just recording this incident itself is a major supplement to the authority of [history].

What a momentous event this is, involving several great beings and affecting the past and future in the realm of time and space.

So with a full sense of mission for the original body, Orochi calculated the time and drove the [Mirror of Spreer].

The divine weapon that controls space explored left and right in the abyss, and finally locked onto an interface.

Once upon a time, I, Ryan, created a great painting, [The Death of the God-King].

It burned the old body of the second generation God King and started the confrontation between Hell and the Abyss.

And now, it, the Atrium Serpent, is also going to record an immortal secret history and engrave it in the depths of hell.

This period of history will surely be remembered and one day in the future, it will influence the entire world.

······

The world, Olympus.

No different from the past, this pure land belonging to the gods is like spring all year round.

Although the goddess of beauty left the mountain not long ago, Hera was very dissatisfied with this.

She thought that this bitch who only had her face to look at had no sense of the overall situation and was not paying attention to the changes in the human world at all.

But no matter what, Aphrodite is one of the twelve main gods after all. Although the Queen of Heaven is nominally higher than the main gods, the gods only respect her because of the power of the King of Gods.

Therefore, the Goddess of Beauty's self-willed behavior did not really bring any consequences in the end. Instead, the meeting among the gods was postponed again and again.

Just like today, Apollo drove his golden chariot across the sky as usual.

His skilled technique enabled him to remain steady even with his eyes slightly closed... But at this moment the Sun God was not dozing off, he was just processing his accumulated prayers.

Every god can receive the prayers of mortals, which is almost something connected with faith.

However, on the other hand, although the prayers were received, few gods were willing to respond to them.

Indifference to mortals, boredom with complicated things, or simply forgetting.

In short, in the entire Olympus, there are not many gods who are willing to spend more time managing their own kingdom, let alone prayers from humans.

Apollo declined to comment on this, as he was not very conscientious.

He would just deal with some very important matters among the believers every once in a while, or listen to the prayers of several believers according to his mood.

That is the case today, as Apollo drives his golden chariot and swims in the ocean of faith.

Following the omnipresent magic web, he first promoted or demoted his clergy and removed unqualified candidates.

Then, with a change of mind, the Sun God's energy was directed toward his own kingdom.

This has always been his habit, putting public interests first and private interests second.

To him, the Kingdom of God and the Church are naturally "public", while ordinary believers belong to the "private" category.

After all, the souls of believers in the kingdom of God, who are jokingly called "Prayers" by the gods, do not completely belong to the gods, but in a sense they can be regarded as the property of the gods.

But this time, when Apollo's thoughts probed into Asgard with ease, a great sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart.

Without hesitation, the sun god, who had held the oracle slate in the original trajectory and was once known as the god of prophecy, believed his premonition almost instantly.

His mind quickly retreated, as if something was chasing him.

Such a quick decision can be said to be decisive... However, the next moment, Apollo knew that he was still too late.

“——!”

"puff--!"

Great sounds are silent, and great images are invisible.

For a moment, the sun god didn't know what was happening.

A mouthful of divine blood was immediately spat out, and even on Apollo's divine body, a trace of spiritual scars appeared.
