#574 - The Three Realms are shaking
"Shhhhhhhh——"
"Huh—what just happened...wait, stop!"
In the heaven on earth, on the golden sun chariot.
The eyes that were originally slightly closed suddenly opened wide, and the originally rosy face of the god driving the divine chariot instantly turned pale.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Apollo seemed to be hit by an invisible force. He subconsciously released the power of light to try to resist this sudden injury.
But the first thing to be affected was not the source of the invisible force. Instead, Apollo startled the Pegasus that was pulling the divine chariot.
As a result, the sun god's chariot shook continuously and almost fell to the earth.
Apollo shouted and immediately pulled the reins. Although the wounds on his body were still painful, he still tried to pull the golden chariot back on track.
He heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing serious had happened… But before he could relax, the next moment, strong shocks once again came towards him along the invisible line of faith.
Like the surging tide, one wave higher than the other, Apollo's eyes went dark and he almost fell off the divine chariot.
Fortunately, this time the horse in front of the car did not run around again, but waited obediently in place.
It was not until a long time later that the sun god finally came to his senses.
"——Apollo, how are you?"
brush--!
The divine light passed across the ground and landed directly in front of the golden chariot.
Although the visitor had tried his best to calm his breath, Apollo still felt the turbulent divine power.
The sun god's face was not very good, and he shook his head slightly. He covered his chest with his right hand and looked at Hestia who came hurriedly. He didn't know what to say.
"…I'm fine…it just seems like something's wrong with Asgard."
"Just now, my kingdom of God seemed to have suffered a severe blow. As for the source of power..."
"It's Zeus."
Frowning, the Hearth Goddess, who had also suffered a shock in her faith due to the instant annihilation of a large number of petitioners, said affirmatively.
"But he probably didn't mean it."
"I feel it more clearly than you do... His spirit seems to be filled with great pain, so much so that my power as the 'Guardian of the House' has been triggered by him."
“…Maybe.”
I was speechless. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the reality was that I had suffered a serious injury.
But after taking a deep breath, Apollo could only blame himself for his bad luck.
"Hey...you should go back and rest first. I can drive the Apollo chariot for you for a while."
"Zeus... he really is a source of worry."
Opposite Apollo, Hestia also saw the dissatisfaction in her nephew's heart, but she didn't know what to say.
She had no choice but to let the other party go back to recuperate first, so as to prevent him from accidentally falling to the human world while driving the divine car.
"Okay, thank you very much, Your Highness."
Apollo agreed immediately, and he did feel that his current condition was not very good.
So he got off the golden chariot and immediately handed over the power of driving to the goddess of fire.
The shock of faith caused by the death of a large number of believers at the same time had already affected his spirit, not to mention that his will had been severely damaged before, which resulted in even greater damage.
Fortunately, although Hestia is not as good as me in matching the authority of [Sun], she can still make up for it with a lot of power. In addition, the current divine chariot is not pulling the real sun, so...
boom--
Hearing thunder in the silence, the previous impact has not yet subsided, and the sound of the Sun Myth has not yet fallen, when another shock that strikes the soul directly comes across.
Apollo looked up suddenly and exchanged glances with the goddess of fire. From her eyes, he could tell that Hestia had heard the same voice as him.
But it’s not Asgard, this time it’s the shock from the Source Sea.
It seems that something big is happening that affects the entire world, but the beings in the material world are still unaware of it.
As powerful divine powers in the world, the two of them could sense this.
"...Apollo, now it seems that Zeus's actions just now are probably related to this... In a place unknown to us, changes have occurred in Chaos' world that only the God King can get involved in, and the kingdom of the gods has also been affected."
"It seems that I have to go talk to him later..."
He spoke in a low voice, since two unusual things happened at the same time, there was a high probability that there was some connection between them.
But she couldn't go on like this. After today's events were over, she had to go find Zeus in person and ask him what he was doing today.
Although he is a god king with great divine power, he has his strengths and weaknesses.
No one is omnipotent, but as long as he is willing to speak out his difficulties, the gods can work together to find a solution.
Besides, no matter what others think, as his eldest sister, Hestia will definitely do her best to help him.
······
Crunch...
Bang--!
…
The human world, Asgard.
It was a mess, as if a natural disaster had happened.
Looking around, those once shining kingdoms of God have become dim.
On another Mount Olympus built by faith, Zeus' figure disappeared at some point.
The ornaments cast from divine metal seemed to have been crushed to pieces by the tremendous brute force, and in the sky above the interface, a thick layer of dark clouds covered the sky.
Silver lightning shuttled up and down in it, and the electric snakes looked so crazy and violent as they danced.
The rain was pouring down, and the rain made up of mortal beliefs poured down, interweaving with the shining thunder and lightning.
It was as if something was trying to clean the dirt off itself, but the dirt could not be gotten rid of no matter what.
Boom boom
The thunder in the sky shook the entire world.
The entire Asgard was a scene of doomsday, and some fragments of the kingdom of God shattered by lightning seemed to confirm this.
Countless petitioners prayed to the gods in their respective kingdoms, but no one could probe their thoughts into Asgard at this moment.
The natural disaster continued, bringing destruction like the end of the world. As time passed, the madly dancing lightning gradually subsided.
It seemed to realize where it was, and that this was not a place it could destroy at will. So it began to consciously limit the scope of its activities to reduce the impact on the surroundings.
This scene lasted for a long time, and the interface was in constant turmoil.
Until one moment, with the sudden vibration of the vast sea of source, the winding and dancing lightning snake stiffened for a moment.
Then, under some great will, it smashed straight to the top of Mount Olympus and fell back into this illusory mountain made of faith.
The lightning re-condensed, and the shape of a man was quickly outlined. However, for some unknown reason, after it had taken on the general shape, it did not return to its true flesh and blood state.
It has maintained its appearance as an elemental mass, and only its hideous and distorted face can be vaguely seen.
“Huh…huh…”
"I am the God King... That's right, I am the King of Gods!"
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
"This is a test given to me by great destiny. This is proof that I am superior to all living beings—!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"No matter who you are, no matter who you are... no matter if you are Kronos, Erebus, Uranus... or you, Ryan, this is a great trial that you cannot complete at all!"
"Only me! There is only me in this world!! Only Zeus, the great king of gods, can do this!!!
"No one can match me, so I am the only king in the world!!!!"
The sound shook the void, and the words were deafening. At this moment, the God King even felt as if he had comprehended a supreme realm.
In a trance, he combined his will with the origin of [Thunder] and allowed himself to face the impact of the source of divine power.
But this time, the original power that was enough to defeat all gods seemed to lose its effect in front of Zeus for a short time, and his supreme will seemed to have subdued the impact of the original power.
The chaotic information coming from all things in nature is endless, which is beyond the ability of individual wisdom to carry.
The only result of trying to possess everything is to become a part of it.
However, at this moment, some changes seem to be taking place.
The great divine power operated more exquisitely in Zeus's hands... although at the moment he had no time to experience this state carefully.
It's like letting a person with natural mysophobia come into contact with the dirtiest and filthiest environment, or letting a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder live in a room where everything seems inharmonious.
As the king of gods in the material world and an indispensable part of order, Zeus's aversion to chaos is almost innate, as is his pursuit of beauty.
But at this moment, the great king of gods is facing the greatest weakness of his own humanity...
As for the belief that supports him to persevere, it is his pursuit of power and strength, and his persistence in his own incarnation.
That’s right, it’s the persistence of the incarnation.
Because until that moment, until he saw the existence that his incarnation was facing, the King of Olympus understood the meaning of the other party's message and the belief of fighting to the death.
Special appearance, if there are any problems, please point them out immediately... Zeus was still confused at first. There are billions of creatures in the world, what kind of beauty has the God King not seen, what kind of appearance has the God King not understood, so that he let his incarnation describe it like this.
But when everything really fell into his eyes, the God King realized that he actually had such a firm will in his heart that he could still talk and laugh even in the face of such a scene.
At that moment, Zeus was shocked.
Is this something he did?
Of course.
The reason why he couldn't believe it was not because Zeus couldn't do it, but because he had never really seen through his own heart.
Just like in the human world, he heard that there are many mortals who are afraid of death in their daily lives, but can face death calmly at the critical moment; there are also many subjects who seem loyal, but collapse in the face of real threats.
In the past, Zeus could not understand this human nature, but now he understands it.
The incarnation and the original body are actually one mind, and they are essentially one person.
Even though there is a difference in strength, there is no difference in their decisions and choices regarding things.
So if the incarnation can do it, then Zeus himself should be able to do it. If he seems unable to do it, it is only because he is still separated from it by a layer and has never been truly "there".
In this situation, the incarnation's memories continued to flow in, and as long as Zeus wanted to, he could cut off this invisible connection at any time.
But he couldn't do that, even if it was for the sake of his own incarnation's sacrifice. Since the other party was really special enough, he had to persist.
And in the end, he was indeed rewarded.
“Huh…”
He gasped for breath, and his own personality consciousness merged with the source of thunder. The violent shock to the root of human nature temporarily smoothed out the pollution of the source force.
Even though this state could not last long, Zeus still felt stronger than ever before.
His will seemed to be swimming in the boundless sea of source, as if the world had become one, yet he still retained his complete consciousness.
Zeus even had a feeling that something was wrong.
If he had achieved greatness through the more powerful priesthood of Thunder instead of [Royal Power], then perhaps he would have been able to complete some kind of transformation at this moment.
But it seems that he can't do it for the time being.
However, taking this opportunity, being in this state of almost "blending with the world", Zeus saw another wonderful sight.
The source sea is boiling, and all the worlds are resonating.
At the bottom of Chaos' concept of time and space, where Tartarus was, a bright light that even true gods could not see suddenly bloomed.
In the entire world outside of this world, which is opposite to the real world, this incomparably bright light and moment swept across everything, stirring up some of the most fundamental concepts of the world outside of this world.
The endless source of power, so huge that it is immeasurable, keeps vibrating and continuously flows towards where the light is.
What is this doing?
Zeus didn't know, but he could probably guess a little.
Tartarus, the most powerful of the primordial gods, seemed to have gained something from his incarnation, or from his actions in fulfilling his destiny.
With this opportunity, He began to transcend and sublime...something was being born within His complete and magnificent symbol.
At almost the same moment, the throne of the God King trembled slightly.
It seemed to sense some kind of threat and reacted instinctively.
“……?!”
His heart was shocked. After all these years, this was the first time that Zeus had seen an existence that could make the throne of the King of Gods itself react in such a way.
Is it afraid? Then what kind of power can make the throne bestowed by heaven afraid?
With a determined look in his eyes, at this moment, Zeus strengthened his heart again.
The Avatar's choice was right... Regardless of whether Abyss could succeed or not, the growth of his own power was imminent.
