Mythology: Spiritual Ruler - Chapter 534
When Zeus and Erebus left, on the other side of the earth, not far from Silver Moon City.
A light silver shuttle-shaped metal object floated in the air, with the light of the stars flowing on it.
Placing the heavy luggage on the ground, Hercules looked at the vehicle in front of him and couldn’t help but feel that the trip was worthwhile.
The wilderness of Chaos is full of dangers, and all kinds of strange beasts and monsters are everywhere. Even if they can be dealt with, it will inevitably delay the traveler for a long time.
And once you cross the Olympus Mountains, the land to the west is even more dangerous. Ancient evil creatures and pagan evil gods that make the gods afraid often entrench themselves there, and no one can guarantee their own safety.
So in order to get to the destination as soon as possible, the great hero had to set his sights on Silver Moon City.
The boats traveling on the seabed impressed Hercules, so accordingly, he hoped to get a tool to travel between the earth here.
At first, he failed, because the truly cutting-edge creations of Silver Moon City were never sold to the public. Even if they were, unless the hero was willing to exchange the treasures left by the monsters, he could not afford them.
But in the end, he succeeded.
He got what he wanted, which was the metal shuttle floating in front of him. But in order to get it, Hercules had to accept a special request.
“What a strange practice…”
“Sending people to a dangerous environment while arranging for people to rescue him.”
“Your Highness Prometheus, is this contradictory behavior really reasonable?”
He whispered for advice. Although the hero was very smart, he had not been too deeply exposed to the awkward choices between the kingdoms and the church leaders.
The foresighted person just smiled at this. Things like this are never uncommon in the world.
“Nothing strange.”
“You have to know that in a group, it is easy for individuals and the collective to have different opinions.”
“When opinions differ, one will always be executed, but the other may not give up.”
“But it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, you have already got what you want, right?”
“With its help, distance will no longer be an obstacle to you.”
Prometheus smiled and gave an explanation. However, looking at the thoughtful hero, he actually had another guess in his heart.
Perhaps in this short period of time, the identity of the blood of the God King Hercules has been discovered.
And the person who commissioned him may just want to see the descendants of the leaders of the “false gods” become their enemies first.
It’s just that there is no need to say these unfounded guesses. Whether it is true or false, it is actually not a big deal.
After all, even without the influence of others, the hero himself seems to be on a path that runs counter to Zeus.
“Yes, every time I see it, I can’t help but sigh at the effect of alchemy. The person who invented it is definitely one of the wisest sages in the world. It can take people to another world.”
“The vast starry sky is endless, but mortals can rely on their own creations to travel in it.”
“If I hadn’t seen it in person, I’m afraid I would only think it was a fairy tale.”
With a slight sigh, until now, Hercules still admires the wonderful ideas of these human spellcasters.
The earth is not like the water. There is no fluctuation of water flow. It is very difficult to move forward secretly here.
The maker of this shuttle simply avoided this problem. He turned the plane journey into a three-dimensional image.
Passing through the nine layers of clouds and reaching the endless starry sky.
Walk around there for an arc and finally return to the world.
So the long journey was avoided, and without anyone knowing, the rider had crossed the land and the sea.
“Amon, I heard that you have not been idle these days.”
“A witch with a high status in Silver Moon City invited you to her home and asked you to tell her about the interesting things you encountered during your journey.”
“How is it? Has the life of a powerful witch opened your eyes and allowed you to see many things you have never seen before?”
“…”
“…Of course.”
“The witch’s attitude was very enthusiastic. She was very happy to entertain me… and the experience she had with me was something I will remember for the rest of my life.”
Amon responded with a smile and quickly skipped the topic.
The great hero did not ask any further questions, although he was indeed very curious about Amon’s experience in the past few days.
As an outsider, Hercules did not see a powerful wizard who made him feel dangerous until he left, but he believed that there must be one here.
Maybe that witch was one, but he did not know whether it was a coincidence or something else, and he never had the opportunity to meet her.
“…Well, that’s it.”
“Anyway, this trip has been successful so far. If I have the chance in the future, I might come back to take a look.”
“But now, it’s time for us to start the next journey.”
Said with a smile, just like the great hero said, they should go.
Although the exploration of this city is only the tip of the iceberg, there are more waiting for them on the other side of the earth.
The orchard on the sea, the river of oblivion in the underworld, and the legendary destination of all souls in the world.
It’s time for them to set off… But at this moment, Hercules suddenly frowned and looked in the distance.
There, a familiar breath suddenly appeared, and in addition, there was a strange but somewhat close breath.
The hero didn’t know what the latter was, but he seemed to have just seen the former not long ago.
Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, his original guide for the trial.
As the main god of Olympus, Hercules has always respected the other party’s power and status.
But the unexpected meeting in the city before broke the filter in the hero’s heart… After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said.
“Sorry, I’m afraid I have to ask you to wait a little longer.”
“The trial arranged by the god of the west wind for me may not be over yet.”
The other party didn’t come directly, maybe because he found out that he was not alone. I just don’t know if the god of the west wind, as the main god of Olympus, has discovered Prometheus’ identity.
Hercules thinks he probably hasn’t, but he can’t be sure.
In short, whether he wants to continue this trial of the gods or not, the hero thinks he should meet him.
…
In a remote forest outside Silver Moon City, the God of West Wind, who finally reappeared in his true form, shook his wings behind him.
At the end of his sight, Zephyrus once again saw Hercules walking towards him.
Different from the last meeting where they met but did not know each other, this time, the God of West Wind returned to his true form, and he could seriously look at the great hero he had not seen for a long time.
He had grown taller, and his young face had a few more frosts.
Compared with the previous one, Hercules had a more invisible sense of oppression around him.
Indistinctly, Zephyrus seemed to see roaring giant lions, screaming eagles, and demons with human bodies and fish tails around him…

Their shadows hovered around the great hero, cursing him angrily, but not daring to get close.
The next moment, the fantasy dissipated, and the God of West Wind woke up from his trance.
There was no shadow in front of him, only the figure of the great hero in front of him.
“Hercules, long time no see.”
“I haven’t had time to congratulate you for beheading the Hydra and maintaining peace in the world again.”
The voice was calm and majestic. In front of the great hero, Zephyrus seemed to be the main god of Olympus, a noble and approachable god.
However, what the god of the west wind didn’t know was that at this moment, Hercules only felt a little funny in his heart.
The majestic figure in front of him and the sparrow seemed to merge into one at this moment, and the great hero could hardly raise the emotion of awe and respect.
Without saying anything, Hercules remained silent. He wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
And hanging in the air, Zephyrus understood it as calmness.
Just like the last time he killed the giant lion, the son of the king of gods did not boast about his achievements.
And such a dazzling gem needs to be polished to shine more brightly.
“From now on, the mortals in the southern land will no longer have to worry about the threat of Hydra. Hercules, you did a good job.”
“It’s just that young hero, even though you have killed the demons in both the north and the south, there are demons everywhere in this world, and there is no shortage of those who are unwilling to obey the gods.”
“I gave you time to rest, and you didn’t waste it.”
“I can see the results of your honing of your own strength… and now, it’s time for you to show them.”
The third task was completed. Although there were many problems in the middle, the result was finally back on track.
Looking at the great hero in front of him, Zephyros made another request of his own.
“Go west.”
“Hercules, go west across thousands of mountains and rivers.”
“At the end of the earth, under the broken pillar of heaven, there is a sinful creature wandering around.”
“It is the Sphinx with a lion’s body and a human’s face, the wisest of the descendants of the King of Monsters.”
“It knows many secrets of the world, but asks its own questions to everyone who tries to cross it.”
“If you answer its puzzles, you can pass in front of it. If you can’t crack its tricks, then even the most powerful force will be suppressed by its order.”
“Young hero, this is the fourth challenge you have to face.”
“I hope you can understand that in this world, pure power can’t do everything, and wisdom is also an indispensable part of the strong.”
The Sphinx, a descendant of the King of Monsters, Hercules has heard of this name and knows the other party’s deeds.
Compared with the cruelty of the giant lion and the hydra, the Sphinx’s puzzle uses wisdom as a test, so it has not passed down such a terrible name in the world, but has attracted many people to challenge it.
Although they both failed, they lost their lifelong knowledge and everything to each other, but this only contributed to the fame of the Sphinx.
After all, it never invaded human territory, and as long as no one paid attention to it, it rarely took the initiative to cause trouble for others.
Strictly speaking, the great hero did not need to take on this task. Now, when his eyes were set on Hera’s orchard, there was no point in completing the trial of the gods.
But when the god of the west wind said where the Sphinx was, Hercules hesitated again.
The center of the earth, the collapsed pillar of heaven, he remembered this place.
At the beginning, he planned to go there to find some traces left over from the old days.
“…I know.”
He spoke lightly, neither refusing nor agreeing, the hero just said that he already knew about this matter.
However, after hearing his reply, Zephyrus nodded with satisfaction.
He did not think this was an ambiguous response, the God of West Wind just felt that the hero had agreed.
In this way, he only had one last thing to do today.
After finishing this matter, he no longer needs to worry about not being able to find the other party.
“Very good.”
“Then Hercules, before that, I also found a helper for you.”
“His name is Dionysus… I believe that you will get along well.”
