Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 309 The Age of Man and God
In the distant past, when the land was crowded with animals, there were no humans.

At this time, the god Prometheus set foot on the earth.He is the son of the goddess of justice and the giant god. This wise and upright god traveled the earth and saw that the earth was distressed, so he had an idea.

The Almighty first sought help from his grandmother Gaia, who molded him into a god-like form with water and soil.Then she asked her friend Athena, the goddess of wisdom, for help. Athena was very willing to help her friend, so she blew the breath of God into the heart of the clay figurine, and the clay figurine had a soul.

The clay figurines started to run, and thus, there were human beings.

This was the first era of mankind, but with the war between monsters and gods, the era of mankind fell into destruction.

The earth was torn apart, the land was submerged, the flames burned the forest vegetation, and the sky was blackened by infection. Human beings are facing a catastrophe.

But a couple survived on a high mountain, named Deucalion and Pyrrha. The couple was trapped by the flood for a long time, and they didn't realize that the world was destroyed until the flood subsided.

In desperation, the couple prayed to the god, who told them to throw the dirt behind them, and the dirt became a new human being.

In this way, mankind survived the catastrophe of destruction.

……

"So, human beings have multiplied again on the earth."

Under the underworld, the majestic and cold goddess looked pale and asked the surrounding maids.

The snake god serves the master of destruction, but also belongs to the underworld. During this time, she is working on rebuilding the kingdom of the snake people.

It was in this dark and terrifying world of death that the serpent's servants were born.

But on the other hand, the goddess also listens to the news from the earth, especially the news from human beings, and refuses to let it go.Because Orochi once said by chance that the protagonist of this world is both God and man, so she fell in love with it.

There are still ten thousand years before his father's escape, but he must prepare well before that.

"Yes."

The maid said respectfully.

The goddess thought for a while, then asked the maid to step back, and then closed her eyes.

She is the Norn in the Nordic population, the maid of fate, who is born to see fate.After going through these many years, her talent has become more and more outstanding, and she has seen more and more. In this world, there are very few things that can be hidden from her.

Right now, she was about to see who might be threatening her father.She had to help her father find out those "troublesome bugs" that her father called.

Close your eyes, but there is infinite brilliance in front of you.

The body remains on the throne of bones, but the soul has escaped into the gap between the worlds.

Many pictures appeared in front of this Norn, but she had a cold face, ignored it, and went straight to a further direction.

Farther and farther, farther and farther, finally, she felt that she had vaguely seen it.

But at this moment, a majestic scold sounded: "Who?!!"

No, it was a goddess of fate who noticed her actions.

This is the control of the gods over the world. Anything that the gods do not want to be understood by humans cannot be understood by ordinary people.And Mona is not on good terms with the goddess of fate. Although it is possible to see fate, it is impossible to see so far.

The goddess who peeked at fate did not want to argue with the goddess of fate, and only had time to write down some fragments in a hurry, and everything in front of her eyes was instantly shattered.

Above the sky, the future goddess who opened her eyes snorted coldly and said slightly angrily.

"That snake boy."

But this goddess was also afraid of the power of the monster's father, and she tried to stop the goddess from prying into fate at will, but she didn't pursue anything further.

Under the underworld, Mona opened her eyes and began to meditate.

Among the afterimages she vaguely remembered, she vaguely saw a figure, a man with a thick and powerful neck and majestic and terrifying eyes.

With a heroic figure like a god, and a strong and muscular body, Mona vaguely saw the scene of the man fighting many powerful monsters.After going through so many battles, the monsters he fought with changed again and again, but the figure of the man never changed.

As for the man's name...

"Alcaides."

I never recited it, I just thought about it silently in my heart.

After being stopped, Mona failed to see the era in which the man was born, and even failed to know whether he was a man or a god.But Mona faintly realized that if there was anyone in this world who could stop her father, then it was probably only this person.

This unborn man/god will be the biggest obstacle for the father of the snake to swallow the world.

Without any more basis, Mona just judged like this.

I want to stop him.

The goddess thought so.

……

Time flies, the human beings on the ground multiply again, and civilization is re-established in this destroyed world.

And in this world surrounded by the sea, civilizations gradually emerged on the largest continents, and they established city-states all over the world.

The gods are very happy with these interesting mortals, and sometimes noble gods will come to the world, drink and have fun with these interesting mortals, dance and sing, and even give birth to offspring.

And those descendants of the gods who possessed the blood of the gods were stronger than ordinary people, and became natural monarchs, conquered all directions, and established powerful kingdoms one after another.

And the descendants of these gods also fear the gods, and respectfully offer sacrifices to the gods, meat, virgins in the temple, pottery and music, and all the best things in the world.

During this period, humans and gods were never separated. It was natural for gods to come from the clouds to the earth, and for humans to go from the earth to the holy mountains.

Until... a certain thing happens.

Tantalus, he is mortal, but also the son of Zeus.

Zeus favored him so much that he was treated like a god, went in and out of the mountain, walked with the gods, drank the jade food and wine of the gods, and let him rule the most powerful country on the earth.

Because of the special favor of Zeus, Tantalus is also respected by the gods. If the proud gods have ever respected a certain mortal, it is probably only Tantalus.

But also because of this, he seems to be too indulgent. The increasingly contemptuous king no longer respects the gods, and even dares to tease the gods.He invited the gods to come to his home, killed his son, cooked it into meat, and disguised it as beef to entertain the gods, in order to test whether the gods were really so omniscient.

All the gods realized the truth, looked at each other in amazement, and no one ate.Only Demeter, the goddess of justice, lost her mind because her daughter was plundered by Hades, the king of the underworld, and ate a shoulder blade under anxiety.

Horrified, the gods put the meat on the plate into a box, and the future goddess Kroto took out a living child from the box, and that was none other than Populus, the son of Tantalus.It's just that the poor boy's shoulder blade that was eaten by the goddess had to be replaced with ivory.

And when the purpose of mortals to provoke and test the gods was exposed, the father of the gods was also angry.

"Tantalus, my child of the earth, have I treated you badly?"

At that terrifying banquet, the father of man and god stared indifferently at his son on the ground, and asked calmly.

Tantalus felt the fear for the first time. In front of the king who ruled the gods, even the most powerful king on earth was silent and trembling.

Without any more words, the disappointed God King just waved his hand. With the sudden wind, the warriors of the underworld suddenly emerged from the ground, one left and one right, and took the soul of the once powerful king. Drag and drop into the underworld, or even deeper.

Meanwhile, the snake goddess Mona, who was also invited to the banquet, watched all this with cold eyes, watching with her own eyes the king's soul struggling in terror, screaming with its mouth open, but still being dragged deep underground.

This banquet obviously made Zeus extremely angry and dissatisfied. He snorted and left, and the gods also dispersed.

And what happened to Tantalus was just the beginning.Not long after, something happened to Tantalus' daughter again.

Niobe, daughter of Tantalus.

This woman of noble birth and prominent family married the king of Thebes and became the queen of Thebes.She was beautiful and dignified, more a goddess than a mortal.

Her father, Tantalus, was the guest of the gods, and her husband was the ruler of a mighty kingdom.What made her even more proud were her seven sons and seven daughters. All her sons were handsome and brave warriors, and all her daughters were all beautiful and charming princesses.

Power, wealth, fame, family, beauty...everything a woman wants to have, she has everything. It can be said that there is no happier mother in the world than her.

However, like her father, she also suffered from arrogance and arrogance.

One day, her husband Amphion got a great artifact from the Muse. It was a pair of exquisite harps. As long as the strings were plucked, the stones could be automatically combined to form a wide city wall.

Her husband was very happy, and celebrated it in Thebes, holding a celebration.

The noble queen also wandered around the city on a whim, but saw several women praying to the altar during the celebration.

This was nothing at first, but because of her father's death, the queen was quite dissatisfied with the gods recently, so she looked at the altar a few more times.Then he couldn't help laughing out loud, and even got off the carriage, mocking the group of women.

"Poor idiots, if you pray to the god Zeus and the queen Hera for happiness and health, that's fine. If you pray to Poseidon, Ares, and Athena for your children to be strong and intelligent, it's fine. But you have to pray to this self. Pray to the goddess who is difficult to preserve?"

The queen, dressed in luxurious clothes, raised her head proudly and looked at the statue of the goddess on the altar with contempt.

"This poor woman is just the most unknown daughter of the Titan. She gave birth to two children for Zeus, but she didn't even have a place to live. She was forced to hide all day long, so she had to live on a small island that was faintly visible in the water. barely lived."

On the altar, it is clearly the Titan Goddess Leto.

And in the queen's words, it was full of contempt for the goddess.

This goddess is not particularly famous among the gods, but she gave birth to two famous gods, Apollo and Artemis, for Zeus.

But also because of this, when she was pregnant, the angry queen Hera cruelly persecuted the poor goddess, so that the pregnant goddess had to hide XZ.

But all the gods are afraid of Hera, dare not accept this goddess, even the earth dare not provide her with a place to give birth, only a small island looming in the water, Deros Island, accepts her, let her live in this water. Two gods were born on the island.

While mocking the goddess, the queen showed off arrogantly.

"In contrast, isn't my father revered by the gods? Isn't my mother Dione the sister of the seven stars in the sky? My ancestor Atlas is so powerful that he can carry the sky. Shoulder. My grandfather Zeus is the father of the gods. Is not my husband the most powerful king of Thebes, the most famous king on this land? Are not my sons and daughters better than the poor goddess? Are two children too many? My wealth can fill every house in the palace, isn’t it more than that goddess who hides and hides? Isn’t my beauty just what a goddess has?”

"The most noble king in the world is right in front of you. If you don't come to worship, are you going to worship that goddess who doesn't know where and who can't protect herself?"

In front of the queen's cannon-like words, the gathered women looked at each other in blank dismay, and had no choice but to withdraw the sacrifices and take off the garland on the goddess' head.

But the queen, who was proud of her victory over the goddess, did not realize that the goddess Leto, who was far away on Mount Cintos, also happened to hear her words.

The goddess trembled with anger when she heard what the queen said, and she couldn't help crying.

She suppressed her anger, and asked her attendants to go to the sacred mountain and the jungle to call for her son and daughter.
