Mythology: Spiritual Ruler - Chapter 533
“It’s just an incarnation, it’s naturally no match for me.”
“This is the ground, not the abyss.”
“But Your Highness Erebus, this is the second time… Even if chaos is naturally hostile to order, this is not a reason for me to leave it alone.”
“Before, I was going to wait a little longer, waiting for my gifted offspring to take the trip for me, but unfortunately the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Before I did anything, the monster in Tartarus actually targeted my brother first.”
“It attacked Poseidon and took him away from the world. And if we wait any longer, I’m afraid that what we agreed on before will not go smoothly.”
Speaking in a deep voice, although Zeus didn’t know that the Lord of Darkness also had the idea of exploring the abyss, he was not afraid that the other party would refuse.
It’s true that the dark elves were created by the other party, but their real blood source is actually the [Life Bottle] and [Golden Apple Tree]. This is why Zeus summoned Moanda before leaving Mount Olympus.
Just like the fourth generation of humans belonged to the Olympian pantheon, they would not stubbornly refuse any other gods to drive mortals.
Theoretically, if it was just to let the elves do something, Zeus did not need to discuss it with Erebus in person.
The reason why he came to the door in person was because the king of gods still had doubts about these elves.
After all, if we really want to rank the shadows of Zeus’s life, the sudden change in the strength of ‘Cronus’ at the turn of the era would rank first, and Typhon, the king of all monsters, would rank second.
In comparison, even the scene of the Lord of the Spirit World ‘crushing the bones and raising ashes’ of the sun god could not be compared with it.
However, it was not until Zeus received most of the power after Typhon’s death with the help of the ‘One Day Fruit’ that he suddenly discovered that there was a more terrifying existence behind the king of all monsters, and he had even come into contact with the other party’s power long before.
Fortunately, no matter how powerful the power of the mother tree is, it cannot corrupt fate and the power of the king of gods.
The biggest impact it has caused to Zeus at present is that it makes the God King pay special attention to these evil creatures scattered in the world.
If it weren’t for his urging, most gods would not bother to clean up these beings outside the human world, but let them fight each other to death, and eventually cause a disaster unintentionally.
“… Your Highness Erebus, these dark elves are indeed an excellent race. Even if there are human pearls and jades before them, it is difficult to hide their excellence.”
“But this behavior of hunting evil creatures and sacrificing them to the golden apple tree… Is there really no problem?”
After a long detour, Zeus finally asked the question he really wanted to know.
If it weren’t for the help of the “One Day Fruit”, he might not dare to control the power of evil creatures.
However, compared to himself who only came into contact with Typhon, the Lord of Darkness is the one who has really dealt with the source of the power of evil creatures.
Perhaps the other party has some special way to dissolve the filth brought by the mother tree.
“Hehe… I know what you want to say. It won’t be a problem, but Zeus, don’t think too much.”
“What the golden apple tree can do doesn’t mean others can do it. For example, you… it’s absolutely impossible.”
“Unlike other gods in the world, the original body of the golden apple tree is the [Seed of All Things] in the [Life Bottle] after all. If it weren’t for Gaia’s restrictions at the beginning of creation, it would have the possibility of achieving great divine power.”
“In this world, the [Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood] and the [Life Bottle] both represent the highest level of the [Life] field, but they are in different directions and have different degrees of completeness…”
“It is reasonable that the golden apple tree can purify the power of evil things and absorb the most essential [Life] from it to supply its own growth.”
“As long as the part it absorbs is far enough from the source, there will be no problem.”
In the shadows, Erebus’s face looked vague. With a faint smile, he looked at where Zeus was.
“In the final analysis, no matter how many evil creatures there are, their ability to pollute life is far less than that of the ‘ancient evil creatures’ that have completed their transformation.”
“And even if those ‘ancient evil creatures’ that are comparable to the true gods are put together, how can they compare to the essence of the power He gave to Typhon.”
“Zeus… instead of worrying about the elves, you might as well worry about yourself.”
“Although I don’t know how you covered the legacy of Typhus with the web of fate, it is obviously impossible for you to do the method used by the golden apple tree.”
Typhon… his voice was flat. Compared with Zeus, in Erebus’ heart, the king of all demons who ravaged the world actually made him care more.
Because what he said to Zeus was actually a loss he had suffered.
When the divine body was polluted, the Lord of Darkness was forced to split it, and then merged it with the dragon egg, using the [Life Bottle] to consume the power in it bit by bit.
His original intention was to use Chaos’s [life] to dissolve the [life] of the foreign world, and then turn this power into nutrients to nourish the dragon egg’s own vitality.
If he succeeds, the dragon egg created by combining the [life] power of the two worlds and the original god’s body will become a monster more terrifying than the hundred-armed giant, and become his most powerful thug.
Even relying on the unique power, even if the power is still lacking, it is enough to intervene in the confrontation of great divine power.
But the final result is that Erebus did not succeed at all. He thought he had expelled the pollution on the dragon egg, but in fact it was just the mother tree itself that chose to give up.
He then came to the gate of the abyss, first tempted the Earth Mother, and then gave birth to Typhon with her.
Undoubtedly, this was a complete failure, but this failure made the Lord of Darkness fully aware of the nature of the Mother Tree.
Even though he had not opened up the world, let alone come into contact with the power of the creation field, he judged the true power of the flesh and blood Mother Tree.
The fight in the remains of the Nine Realms was suppressed by the laws of the world, and in the Chaos world, the Mother Tree was still suppressed by the laws of the world.
From the field of power alone, Erebus had no way to judge the strength of the opponent.
Although the bisected [Life Aquarius] could no longer hope to have the status of [Creation Artifact], the gap between it and the great power was different from that of ordinary gods who had not touched this field.
If the outer gods stopped at the great power, then in the case of occupying the home field and having another great power to provide power, the [Life Aquarius] could use a long time to erase the power separated by the outer gods.
However, the final result was that the Aquarius still failed, and the power of the Mother Tree was unshakable. In this case, the only possibility is that the power of the mother tree is a whole body higher than it.
[Life Aquarius] cannot be complete because of its incompleteness, and the flesh and blood mother tree at least has some characteristics that are higher than the great divine power.
And He cannot really pollute himself, so He cannot be an existence comparable to the world itself.
Therefore, any power directly from the mother tree cannot be digested by the Aquarius, and there is at least a layer between them.
Even considering that the power of the outer gods is beyond his past cognition, out of caution, Erebus chose to separate them again.
Only those ordinary evil creatures that are not even as powerful as the realm of true gods, he allows those elves to be used as sacrifices to increase the power of the golden apple tree.
As for Zeus, who directly swallowed the power of Typhon… Even if he gave the Lord of Darkness this opportunity, he would only stay away from it.
“… Is that so… That’s a pity.”
His face remained unchanged, and he felt a little regretful when he learned of this result.
He came to Erebus this time, and his concerns about these elves were part of it, and his thoughts on his future also accounted for a considerable part.
When the God King discovered the elves’ hunting of evil creatures for sacrifice, he did think about whether he could do the same.
If he could truly take Typhon’s power, he would no longer have to worry about the “One Day Fruit”.
Now that the Lord of Darkness has personally denied his idea, the God King has expected such a result.
If he can’t do it, then he can’t do it. The most important thing at the moment is to explore the abyss first.
Not only because of the big snake, Zeus still remembers the omen when he tried to enter Tartarus before.
When he saved the giants at the end of the Second Age and tried to track Keto not long ago, he had a premonition in the dark.
There seemed to be something closely related to him in the abyss.
Hercules couldn’t wait, and Zephyrus had not reported the latest progress to him. Moreover, even if the God of West Wind came back, Zeus was not sure whether the current hero could meet his needs.
There was no way, the God King had to choose to go himself.
As for these dark elves, they were just tools to “cover” his incarnation.
Once they enter the abyss, there is no need for them to come back.
Including Erebus, even if they don’t know what the omen means now, Zeus doesn’t want others to know the trump card he may get, so anyone who knows will have no choice but to die.
Tartarus… the most powerful primitive god in the world.
If he can find a way to borrow this power from within him, let alone the starry sky and the four seas, even if it is the spirit world and the Lord of Darkness combined, what will he fear.
“Your Highness Erebus, thank you for your answer anyway.”
With a smile, the God King expressed his gratitude at the right time.
Now, he knows everything he should know. Just out of courtesy, Zeus still invited him.
Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!
“With your help, I will try to dive into the abyss soon.”
“As long as there is no power at the level of great divine power, it should not cause unrest in Him… Then, Your Highness Erebus, do you want to come with me?”
“Well…”
“At first, I didn’t want to go.”
“But since you invited me so kindly, as an ally, I can’t refuse.”
In the indescribable shadow, the Lord of Darkness responded lightly.
“…”
“Ahem… Actually, there is no need to force it. After all, as both are primitive gods, Tartarus is much more sensitive to your power than the power of the God King. If you don’t want to…”
“No force.”
There seemed to be a hint of smile in his voice, and the Lord of Darkness then explained calmly.
“I won’t go there myself, but one of my servants is very suitable for that place.”
“Five-Colored Dragon Mother, the guardian of the golden apple tree.”
“Her body strength is enough to match one hand of my divine body. Although I am not good at divine body, this strength is enough for her to fight giants with her body.”
“With her assistance, I think your journey to the abyss will be much smoother.”
“As long as you are not discovered by the existence you are fighting with, you can move freely in it.”
“…”
The smile was a little stiff, Zeus didn’t know what Erebus was going to do.
As one of the oldest gods since the beginning of time, what more does the Abyss have to offer you?
Even if there is, why would you go to see it with me?
When can’t you go in the past tens of thousands of years. Before I came to see you today, I didn’t stop you from going on your own.
Why did you have to wait until I invited you before you accepted the invitation uncharacteristically?
“Why, are you a little surprised?”
“It doesn’t have to be like this. In fact, this is also to dispel your concerns.”
“Before, on Mount Olympus, you had to wait for me to deal with the human bathing in the River Styx. I guessed that you were still doubting the purpose of my joining forces with you.”
“In order to prevent these misunderstandings from accumulating for too long, I decided at that time that if you invite me to do something again next time, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
He casually made an excuse for his motives, and Erebus wondered if Zeus believed it.
Anyway, believe it or not, he has decided to take this trip to the abyss.
On the one hand, observing the so-called hell, on the other hand, he also had to prepare an escape route for himself.
He was well aware of the disintegration of the Nine Realms, and although he had never seen the destruction of Hermione, the power that Chaos unleashed more or less confirmed that another world had become his food.
In this gluttonous feast, Tartarus undoubtedly accounts for a large share, but the Lightless Realm is also expanding every moment.
There is no other reason. Among the eight gods in pairs of Hermione, [Boundless Darkness] is one of them, and it is one of the few whose power has not been divided.
From the beginning to the end of the world’s destruction, its power was relatively intact, and it was accepted by Chaos relatively quickly.
Although regarding the transformation of power between worlds, the [darkness] of one world may not necessarily all transform into the [darkness] of another world, but in any case, this is a very close connection.
To ordinary gods, this is almost overwhelming wealth.
For example, far above the starry sky, the ancient Titan Koos was extremely excited.
Even in his heart, he was worried that the laws of this world might lead to the birth of another god who would divide his power, but the continuous increase in power was real.
After an epoch, looking at the edge of the starry sky that was accelerating in expansion, Koos felt for the first time that he had a glimmer of hope of reaching the top.
But when it all fell to Erebus, it was another story.
The rising power continues to oppress his personality. Being in the core of the Lightless Realm is often just a trance. When Erebus wakes up again, a year has passed in the world.
Once upon a time, this brief slumber was manageable. But now, it occasionally escapes from its control.
He had to do something, whether it was to enhance his personality or find a way to weaken the growing power and keep it under his control.
Both of these methods are likely to be solved in the abyss.
“…Is that so? But you may have misunderstood. Your Highness Erebus, I have never doubted your determination…”
On the side, although reason told Zeus that this was probably just an excuse made by the Lord of Darkness, the God King still felt that he had shot himself in the foot.
But at this point, since the Lord of Darkness has agreed, it is impossible for him to refuse, let alone restrict the whereabouts of a primitive god.
So he forced a smile and Zeus nodded slowly.
“That’s it. I still need some time to create a body with my flesh and blood. When I’m ready, I’ll enter the abyss.”
“I hope I can find the monster’s lair this time. Once it is solved, I can free my hands and feet to eradicate the cancer that is poisoning the world.”
“…”
The conversation seemed to go on for a while, but at some point, when the wind blew across the ground, the exit connecting the ground and the underground was no longer inhabited.
The two figures left silently, just as they arrived silently. History has become a secret, hidden in the deepest shadows.
