Mythology: Spiritual Ruler - Chapter 485
‘Finally here.’
Following the path drawn by Ander, he avoided all kinds of difficulties approaching the center of the sea eye.
Only after experiencing it personally did Hercules understand that the real danger of this sea wound was not on the surface.
The remaining divine flame of the sun, the remaining resentment of the creatures that died tragically in the sea for thousands of years, and even the twisted and indestructible spirit of evil creatures…
All the things that could not be contained by the sea gathered here little by little and became part of the sea eye.
Of course, maybe it was because these forces were loose and chaotic, or it might be because of some other reasons. In short, with the help of Ander, they did not break through the protection of divine power.
So the great hero came to the hollow in the center of the sea eye safely and met the person he wanted to see.
Just as the legend records, the guilty god was imprisoned under the sea, with chains tied to his hands and divine iron piercing his chest.
However, it was such a bound person who said something that should not be said
Finally here…No matter how you think about it, such words should not appear here.
Since he decided to look for the traces of the creator Prometheus, until he learned that he was the son of the king of gods not long ago, Hercules had never discussed it with anyone.
If there is an exception… then there is only one.
“Do you know a human named ‘Evan’? Did he tell you about my existence?”
“If so… please tell me, what is the purpose of you asking me to come here?”
Speaking in a deep voice, Hercules immediately thought of the Athenian scholar.
He had the idea of looking for Prometheus because of him. If there is someone who is destined to predict his movements, then he is the most likely one.
“Evan?”
Slightly startled, the bound god seemed a little surprised to hear this.
But in just a moment, Prometheus came back to his senses.
As expected… Shaking his head with difficulty, the God of Foresight looked at the great hero who was vigilant but also had a glimmer of hope, and said slowly and gently: “No, child, I don’t know him.”
“But not long ago, someone did tell me that a child living in lies would come here, and I saw you fighting on the sea again.”
“You are brave and fearless – these may not be good things, but for a young man, they are indeed excellent qualities…”
“Don’t worry, if you have any questions, I can tell you – including the person I met, what he gave me, and what he said to me.”
“Whatever you want to know, I will tell you one by one.”
“…Why?”
Silently, there was even a sense of unreality.
At this moment, Hercules was sure that his natural intuition told him that the ancient god really did not lie to him.
There was no attempt to make up a lie, or to give some high-sounding reasons for concealing, like every person he had asked before, to let others guess their thoughts.
So he spoke subconsciously, and the great hero couldn’t help asking.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve made the same mistake once before – my mistake tells me that concealment will only lead to suspicion, and suspicion will lead to disputes.”
“It will make greedy people forget the risks and make cautious people lose opportunities.”
“Instead of letting people go in the wrong direction in speculation, it is better to tell them the cruel truth from the beginning.”
“The destruction of the Bronze Age originated from this.”
“If you have known your own insignificance, fear may be closer to survival than arrogance.”
Hua La La –
Perhaps because he said too much in a short period of time, Prometheus panted slightly, and the chain on his wrist rang slightly.
After coming to his senses, Hercules remembered the other party’s state at the moment.
He stepped forward and said solemnly:
“No matter what, Your Highness Prometheus, no matter whether you can answer my doubts or not.”
“I believe in your character and am willing to help you escape from this prison.”
“I don’t know whether stealing the fire from heaven is a sin, but including me, every human living in the world today should not use this as a reason to attack you.”
“You have been here long enough… and today is the day you are released.”
Stepping into Prometheus’s body, Hercules thought he would encounter some obstacles, but what he didn’t expect was that he easily approached the imprisoned god.
He held the iron nail on Prometheus’ chest with both hands, and the powerful force flowed with the rise and fall of his chest.
Ander, who had been silent just now, also covered him with divine power. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of power rose in Hercules’ heart.
“One nail… can’t stop me.
“——Get up! “
A loud shout, like a tyrant with the strength to pull out mountains.
Maybe it was the effect of will, or maybe it was the real strength of blood.
When the divine power was bestowed on him, Hercules at this moment seemed to have the demeanor to wrestle with the God King.
In response, the iron nail on Prometheus’ chest made a buzzing sound, and it trembled slightly in the chest of the creator.
Even though he was originally prepared to speak out to stop it, Prometheus was a little surprised at this moment.
Unbelievable… This divine nail, as the embodiment of the will of the God King, can’t be pulled out so easily.
Except for the initial shaking, no matter how hard Hercules tried, it still didn’t move at all, and there was no possibility of being pulled out.
But even so, it is still extraordinary to be able to make such a change.
After all, when this nail was cast, Zeus was not yet a god king who had entered the great power.
But the power of the kingship is unlimited, and the orders issued by the king in the past will also become extraordinary as he becomes stronger in the future.
In this case, Hercules was able to shake it, relying on not only “power”, but also a manifestation of a certain “destiny”.
He may have been destined to surpass Zeus in some places, but he didn’t even know it yet.
“Ahem… Okay, don’t waste your energy.”
“The punishment of the God King is not so easy to solve, and what really trapped me has never been this nail.”
“It’s just a symbol, a medium.”
“I can get rid of it, but as long as the power of the God King is still there, there must be a person who came here because of Zeus’s will and was forever bound to this abyss.”
After a few coughs, a hazy halo emanated from Prometheus.
The vibrating iron nail immediately returned to its original state, and Hercules was also bounced off it.
The great hero may not know that just when he started, the sea water at the eye of the East China Sea suddenly stirred up huge waves.
It was like a giant god hanging his hand from the sky, trying to pull up this handful of ocean.
Zeus’s royal power is not endless. The power he used to trap Prometheus happened to be the sea that he no longer governed in name.
It merged with the iron nail and became a symbol of the god king’s “sea control”.
From then on, the credit for suppressing the sins of the innate gods and calming the riots in the eye of the sea cleverly reached a balance point, so that Zeus no longer needed to worry about it.
“You-your power?”
In front of Prometheus, Hercules took a few steps back under the gentle recoil force, and his eyes changed.
Just now, Prometheus almost lightly separated him from the god nail that connected to the sea.
Although they were both divine powers, his seemed to be more powerful than that of Ander.
Noticing Hercules’s doubts, the Forerunner smiled and explained:
“Faith is not born only through prayer… Child, if you are a god, if your deeds can be spread, then your journey all the way here is the best support for you to gain faith.”
“Okay, now, let me give you what should belong to you.”
The body shook, and then under Hercules’s gaze, the Forerunner’s body suddenly split into two.
A body made entirely of divine power remained there, while Prometheus’s real body left there.
Looking at this scene that was completely different from what he expected, Hercules was once again stunned.
And the small puppet sitting on his shoulder suddenly spoke.
“This is… I really didn’t expect it.”
“Even though you are imprisoned here, you are still close to the realm of powerful divine power.”
“Oh, no wonder the bronze humans are going to be destroyed… If they continue to multiply like this generation of humans and spread to the entire continent, your power may be enough to scare Zeus at that time.”
The gods of the Bronze Age have not taken that step yet. If Prometheus had not been imprisoned here and the Bronze Age had not been destroyed, the forerunners of that time might indeed be qualified to threaten Zeus’s position.
So even if the action was rough and deliberate, the gods at that time dealt with him mercilessly.
“Who is this?”
After his body was separated from the iron chain and the divine iron, Prometheus could not maintain this state for a long time.
Even for him, being tied to the divine iron might be a little less exhausting.
After all, at this moment, he was using his power to deceive the divine iron’s induction and bear the weight of the sea eye at the same time, and his divine power was fading every minute and every second.
In contrast, although the previous state was constantly dripping with divine blood, for the body of the Titan gods, even if Prometheus’ body was not strong, it was enough to cope with this minor damage.
“Who am I… the creator of the Bronze Age, I want to ask you, do you still remember Ander?”
Raising his head slightly, the puppet’s face was expressionless, and it should have been like this.
However, the next moment, Prometheus’s reaction made him stunned on the spot.
“Ander… If you are talking about the Ander in my memory, there is indeed one.”
After thinking for a while, Prometheus slowly said:
“That is the third batch of bronze humans born, he was endowed with a soul of kindness, humility and integrity.”
“Why, is he still alive?”
“…”
“No, he died, died of kindness, humility and integrity.”
“The reason why I came to ask you… is just to see if it is true that the legendary fire thief remembers the name of each of his creations.”
The answer is of course true, after all, the result is right in front of us.
He had never been a “priest” for a day, nor was he valued by the wise men favored by the Creator. In the end, he died together with the creatures of the Bronze Age because of the foolish behavior of the priests, and even fell in the last darkness before dawn.
Before, Ender didn’t show that he didn’t care about it, but now, one of his doubts has been solved.
“I have no problem, but he still has.”
The voice was stiff, and the puppet’s tone was flat.
“We came here to find you mainly to learn some secrets about the deep spiritual world.”
