Chapter 41 The Remuneration Needed
Pyrrha relaxed, but Deucalion became more tense.

Unlike Pyrrha, who was only a demigod, Deucalion was born with the power and glory of gods because his parents were gods.

The two stand at different heights, so the things they see are naturally different.

Deucalion wanted to see more profoundly, and what he dissected was closer to the truth.

It is precisely because of this that he feels deeply painful and powerless.

In this world-destroying flood, the extinct mortals are just insignificant supporting roles, and the gods behind it are the protagonists who lead the drama to an end.

Hades, the lord of the underworld, used this to promote the great power and divide the power of the existing six great powers, completely different from Zeus, Poseidon and others.

Hephaestus, the God of Vulcan, who has always been inconspicuous and regarded as a laughing stock by the gods, also suddenly made a voice to stand for Clotho, the fate weaver who was exiled. He not only rescued her from fate with his own hands, but also shared his own For this reason, he shook and promoted the great Hades, and shattered Hades's underworld. The power he showed was no less than that of Atlas, the giant god who had one against seven in the past.

There are also the glorious Grandmother of the Sea and the God of Ocean, the Queen Hera who fell into a strange silence during the incident and disappeared, Atlas, the titan who raised the sky inexplicably, and Chloe, the Weaver of Destiny who will no longer return to the Temple of Destiny Thor, and... the surpassed Zeus.

The world-exterminating flood is the fuse of these things, but it is not the end of these things.

Feeling the sights cast from all directions, Deucalion understood that he had been chosen.

He and Pila were tacitly driven to the center of the drama stage by everyone, and put the rope that pulled down the curtain into their hands.

This is the common demand of all.

After all, what a good drama is about is the point to the point, too long and it will not end well.

It's time to end it, everyone who worked hard deserves a decent exit, as if it never happened.

Of course...you should also get the reward you want!
Thinking about this, Deucalion bit his lips with blood.

As if he felt that such behavior was inappropriate, he pursed his lips unnaturally and swallowed all the blood into his stomach.

But the emotions of unwillingness, anger, and sadness still linger in his mind, forcing him to make a choice.

The loving gaze of his father Prometheus also came to his mind. On the cliffs of the Caucasus Mountains, he was torn open and let the goddess of wisdom take his authority.

The wise Deucalion understood that the stripped authority belonged to himself.

God King Zeus made no secret of his intentions. He wanted to destroy all old memories. Only in this way could he better shape newborn humans at will and imprint his stalwart figure in the depths of human memory.

As a god king, he will not beg, if he wants, then there will be.

Impulse and compromise were intertwined in Deucalion's mind.

Finally, he made a choice, and his body leaned slightly to one side of Pila.

After doing this action, the tension in his heart was greatly relieved.

A figure was retrieved from his memory, and the one who bore the brunt was Epimetheus, who was in charge of the ignorant, but he quickly denied it.

In the end, he did nothing, pretended that he didn't know anything, and waited quietly with Pila, who was very steadfast in his heart.

Suddenly there was the sound of the third person's clothes being blown in the wind.

"coming!"

Deucalion raised his head and met Athena's playful eyes.

Pila, belatedly, also noticed Athena's arrival, but when she raised her head, she was greeted by Athena's gentle and generous smile.

Athena said to her: "Zeus, the supreme and pure god-king, has heard your request."

"He who is merciful has decided to forgive the sins of mankind and allow mankind to continue to appear on the earth."

"You're lucky, Pilar."

Pyrrha looked humble: "Praise the King High."

"Beautiful goddess, please guide me."

Athena's gentle smile became more sincere.

If it is said that the kindness to Pyla at the beginning was out of respect for Themis, the goddess of justice, then now it is Pyla's humility that suits her appetite.

She told Pyla: "I am one of the ancestors of mankind and gave them wisdom."

"But to create creatures, I alone is not enough. You also need the power of your father Epimetheus and Deucalion's father Prometheus."

"Fortunately, we just came together."

"Your father told me that his authority has long been given to you."

"And Prometheus is also willing to contribute to the crime and meritorious deeds."

She suddenly looked at Deucalion, her smile became strange: "Deucalion, he gave me this authority and asked me to pass it on to you."

The authority from Prometheus appeared in her slender white hands, and she handed it to Deucalion who was kneeling on the ground: "Take it well, this is also your father's selfless love for you."

Deucalion stretched out his hand to take it, and his body trembled imperceptibly.

Athena's slender fingers deformed in his eyes, like two long scarlet knives.

He carefully took over the care from his father on the blade, and the authority disappeared in his hands and became a part of him.

Then he said to Athena cautiously and respectfully: "I see how to do it."

"Goddess, please grant me a wisp of your wisdom."

So Athena generously rewarded him.

Deucalion took Pyrrha to an open space beside him. There were many huge stones in the open space. He used his divine power to divide them into gravels of equal size, and then told Pyrrha what to do next.

In this matter, Deucalion seems to be a leader. This may be due to a man's sense of responsibility to his beloved woman. He is a god, has power, and feels that he should pay more.

He quickly became acquainted with his own and Athena's power, and had a vague understanding of the authority over Pyrrha.

He took Pila and threw gravel on the top of the mountain. Three different powers were briefly invoked by him, so the gravel he threw turned into a man, and the gravel thrown by Pila turned into a woman.

The human seed is planted.

Pilar watched them with joy.

The newborn human beings are ignorant and know nothing, which inspired her motherhood.

She remembered the advice of her father Epimetheus: "Don't do superfluous things."

Pilar took a chance, now... don't count?
She said to Deucalion, "Let us stay and take care of them. They don't know anything yet and need our help."

Sensing the sudden cold gaze of Athena behind him, Deucalion quickly refuted her: "Pyrrha, I am very weak and need to rest."

He buried his head and put the remaining wisdom at Athena's feet, saluted her hurriedly, and dragged Pila away quickly.

But the farther he walked, the more frightened he became, and the gaze behind him became more and more piercing.

Fortunately, this feeling quickly disappeared.

He dare not look back...

Behind him, Epimetheus blocked Athena's view. He nodded to Athena, and picked up the wisp of wisdom lying at her feet.

He spread his hands, and there was a great suction force in the palm, and the remaining divine powers of Deucalion and Pyrrha gathered together.

He began to create, and all kinds of creatures other than humans began to appear one by one...
