Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 615 Destiny and Order

"Now that you have made your decision, what else can I say?"

"Let's go. I think that woman Phoebe has already gone there first."

Shaking his head slightly in acknowledgement of Hemera's words, Aether then made his choice.

As the main god of the vast star field, he represented the starry sky he ruled and completely submitted to the God-King, acknowledging his legal and substantive rule over the starry sky.

In an instant, the invisible royal order spread out from the earth, covering one-fifth of the starry sky.

At the same time, on the other side of the starry sky, the recognition of another god followed.

Another fifth of the star fields recognized the rule of the God-King, allowing the invisible law network of order to extend there.

That was the work of Phoebe, the goddess of light, and her actions have not stopped yet.

As the wife of the God of the Lightless Celestial Bodies, she also has some authority in the Savage Star Region, which occupies seven-tenths of the starry sky, and the Lightless Land.

Although as long as Koos intends to stop it, the other party's authority cannot surpass him.

But just like every time before, this Titan god with an increasingly profound aura seemed to have no intention of expressing his opinion on external affairs from beginning to end, or perhaps he had already made a decision in his heart.

In short, in the absence of a statement from the first authority, even though it is difficult to extend the rules of order here, it still establishes its own power and rule here.

The royal power that swept across the starry sky finally stopped at the Ecliptic and White Star Regions, but three powerful divine powers arrived at the edge of this star region one after another.

Their mission is not to break the zodiac barrier that seals the sun. The God King only hopes that they can trap it here.

He was also prepared for the gods of the spiritual world to release the sun, but he was not really helpless.

After thousands of years of research, Zeus has a deeper understanding of Typhon's power that comes from the mother tree, or perhaps the Mother of Flesh and Blood never minds others studying Her power.

In short, if the spirit world abandons the zodiac star field, he will replace the Sun Devourer with the power of Typhon and replace the power of the sun with the power of evil.

The Zodiac Great Barrier uses the power of the sun to seal itself, and the God King devours the power of evil creatures and suppresses itself in turn.

For a king, all power can be utilized, there is no distinction between good and bad... But at this moment, looking at the zodiac star field in front of her that gathered the essence of the entire starry sky, the light goddess Phoebe was eager to try.

"…Your Highness Phoebe, what are you going to do?"

The corner of his eye twitched, and Ether had no idea what this woman was crazy about.

"The King of Gods only asked us to watch over this place, and never asked us to actually do anything—"

"—but he didn't forbid us to do anything, did he?"

With a flash of excitement in his eyes, Fu Bai glanced at the moon above the Baidao star field.

However, the reflection of a red dress flashed there, which instantly sobered the goddess up.

Although she didn't know why, she instinctively felt that the moon had a close relationship with herself - in fact, in some records of later generations, she was indeed given the title of "Ancient Moon Goddess".

However, since Yueliang’s plan failed, she once again set her sights on Valhalla.

"You say, if I take back the Hall of Heroes for His Majesty and defeat the Zodiac Boundary in advance, will he grant this place to me in the future and let me help him suppress the fallen sun in the name of the Goddess of Light, or even exercise some of his authority?"

"…I don't recommend you do that."

The corner of his mouth twitched as Ethel reminded him.

"Of course, the power of the Great Zodiac Barrier is used to deal with the sun, and those angels in the spiritual world are not known for their strength, but [Hall of Valor] now belongs to Athena."

"In short, Phoebe, I advise you to be kind..."

"Humph, since you don't dare to go, I'll do it myself."

With a cold snort, the Goddess of Light took a step forward with a stern look on her face.

She had previously clashed with Athena and Artemis in competition for the title of the most beautiful goddess, and now she finally had her chance.

She really didn't believe that the other party would dare to confront the God King directly and violently...

whoosh-

"what--"

"Who is it, come out!"

With a scream, just as Phobos stepped into the Ecliptic Star Region, a stream of light broke through the air and instantly pierced her palm.

Although the wounds on the flesh and blood healed quickly under the influence of divine power, the pain caused by the injuries was real.

His eyes swept across the place where the light fell, and looked at the figure that appeared, with disbelief on his face.

She never expected that the one who attacked her was the manifestation of Athena's companion artifact, the goddess of victory Nike.

"Niki, is that you?"

"How dare you, a weapon with less than average divine power, come here to resist me?"

“…I don’t want to come either.”

Spreading her hands helplessly, Nikki said innocently:

"Why don't we just stop fighting and wait here? Anyway—oh, you old woman are so annoying!"

The stars shone brightly, and without paying attention to the words of the goddess of victory, Phoebe directly mobilized his divine power and crushed past without any fancy moves.

Having enjoyed thousands of years of faith, as a powerful deity, it was impossible for her to be stopped by such an opponent.

Seeing this scene, Nikki had no choice but to quickly retreat while screaming in her heart.

"Athena Athena Athena..."

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

"You asked me to come. She's trying to steal your things. Come out and kill her. You can't abandon your faithful weapon like this—"

[But I don’t have time now]

Without any external fluctuations, in the heart of the goddess of victory, characters leaped out from the depths of her memory and spontaneously formed this line of text.

Faintly, Nikki seemed to see a faint smile in it.

Seeing this, the goddess of victory could not help but angrily rebuke:

“Help, I’m done for. The goddess of wisdom doesn’t care about her weapon anymore… Woohoo, someone come and save me. Anyone can come—Hey, are you going to take action?”

The fake crying stopped instantly and a smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, although no one else noticed any trace, as Athena's most handy weapon, Nikki only felt a familiar hand as if holding her body.

In an instant, a boundless force seemed to be bestowed upon her, as if as long as she moved, the star field would shake along with her... However, in response to her question, Athena simply displayed another line of text.

[No, I have something else to do]

[Now, I will lend you the strength of one hand... This is enough to deal with Phoebe.]

Gods cannot easily borrow power from each other, but they can from their companion artifacts.

In a sense, the two are one, just as only Zeus holding the [Thunder Arrow] is the complete God of Thunder, and only Athena holding the [Spear of Voktor] is the true victorious king.

However, feeling this reassuring force, Nikki still tried to reject this unreasonable request.

"Come on, Athena, I'm just a weapon!"

【…】

"Well, what an irresponsible master."

Complaining silently, the goddess of victory looked at Phoebe who was rushing towards her.

The communication of the soul seems to take a long time, but in reality it is not even enough time to breathe.

She held herself, saying that she didn't want to fight, but at this moment, Nikki only felt excited...

No one really thinks that a divine weapon that symbolizes victory doesn't want to fight, right?

"Come on, old woman, today I just want to beat you to death, or be beaten to death by you!"

Waving her spear, the goddess of victory said something she couldn't remember where she heard it from, and rushed towards Phoebe with a big laugh.

Standing in the distance, Aether and Hemera did nothing but watched it all silently.

As two veteran otakus, they just wanted to stand aside and not get deeply involved in the fights between the gods.

So what if I win the team? Can it make me a great god?

No, then go away.

They are not Phoebe, the woman who went crazy on the edge of the starry sky. No matter they were in the underworld or in the starry sky now, they have lived a pretty good life and there is no need for them to commit suicide.

……

In the underworld.

Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, walked into the palace of Hades and looked at the couple sitting on the throne.

Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, was once a weak seed goddess.

But now, Zeferos only felt a great majesty in her.

Is she the Queen of the Underworld who shares the power of Hades, or is she herself becoming stronger?

The God of West Wind didn't know, but he was only here to convey the orders of the God King.

"Your Highness Zephyrus, is Zeus going to break the agreement he made with us brothers?"

On the throne, Hades, with an increasingly profound aura, looked at the messenger of the God King in front of him, and questioned the other party's intentions. "That is not the case, Your Majesty."

With a slight bow, the God of West Wind seemed to be very polite.

But what he said next tore apart the superficial warmth.

"His Majesty the God King is the guardian of the oath. How could he go against the agreement he made with you and the Sea King?"

"But you also know that not long ago, the evil ancient snake from the abyss brazenly attacked the honorable Majesty Poseidon... and until today, the whereabouts of the snake are still unknown."

"For this reason, the God King wakes up early and sleeps late, worrying about you, his only remaining brother in the world."

"As a result, not long ago, he once again learned a shocking piece of news."

"An even more powerful being from the abyss seems to be targeting you and trying to abduct you when Your Majesty is least prepared."

"And she's…looking at you right now."

His expression suddenly changed, and at this moment, Hades actually felt a sense of being peeped from the abyss.

Even though the other party did not leave Tartarus, even though she hid her existence.

But the power that surpassed the true God was so clear that Hades could hardly ignore it.

"you--"

Hades didn't believe in any accidental discovery at all, and preferred to believe that this was trouble that Zeus had brought upon him.

However, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head... Holding back his anger, Hades asked word by word:

"So I don't know how His Majesty the King of Gods plans to solve this problem. Will he let me disband the Underworld Court and go to his Mount Olympus to serve him?"

"Do not."

Shaking his head slightly, Zeferos spoke slowly.

"It is enough for you to recognize His Majesty's order and the dignity of his kingship."

"..."

His face looked grim and he remained silent for a long time.

It was not until he felt the vibrations coming from the earth and the sound of the God-King bombarding the Well of Samsara with thunder that he glanced coldly at Zeferos.

"……roll!"

"It's okay, just decide for yourself."

Turning and leaving, the God of West Wind didn't think Hades would refuse.

Because just now, even he felt the terrifying murderous intent coming from the abyss.

He didn't know that the owner of this power was actually unable to display such great power outside of Tartarus, but Hades didn't know either.

With a look of fear on his face, Hades was in a bit of a dilemma for a moment.

He could choose to refuse, but the price might be facing an enemy like the big snake last time.

He could also choose to accept it. After all, recognizing order does not mean completely submitting to Zeus.

In fact, Athens is also within the scope of the royal order, but this does not affect their resistance to the attacks of the continental countries.

But he knew it was a start.

When there is the first step, there will be the second step...

"Hades, do you remember your dream?"

Suddenly, in the dead silence of the hall, Persephone spoke.

"……I remember."

"Do you remember what you planned to do about this?"

"I remember."

"Hades, do you remember what you told me?"

"--I remember!"

Taking a deep breath, Hades' gaze swept across the abyss.

Devil, huh? No matter who you are, I will remember you.

Gods are immortal, and divine authority is eternal... Perhaps it won't be long before you regret this.

hum-

No longer resisting, the order of the God-King penetrated into the underworld.

It seems that the entire underworld has not become weaker because of this, but has even become stronger.

The royal order is not a bad thing. It makes all things more closely connected, more concrete, more vibrant, and more united under the worldly order.

Whether it is the underworld, the depths of the starry sky, or even the edge of the sea, they were originally part of the gap between the world inside and outside.

But when the power of the God-King extends, they become more obedient to the rules of order.

On the nameless mountain, although he did not see it with his own eyes, Kloto still opened his mouth slightly, as if he had discovered something surprising.

"Hey, Mr. Big Devil, your method is really useful!"

"It seems that a part of fate has been restored. I can feel that the order of the world is developing in a more stable direction. If this continues, He will become even more powerful... Isn't this what a God King should do?"

Trying to sense the original trajectory of fate, although it has been changed too much, Cloto still saw a little clue at this moment.

Yes, the God King was on the right track. He should have completely ruled the heaven, earth and sea, and exercised the power of the world. A golden rope could pull up all the gods, along with the earth and the endless mountains and rivers...

Next to Kroto, there was also no witness.

Listening to the sigh of the goddess of fate, a trace of solemnity flashed in Ryan's eyes.

Yes, this is the real threat from Zeus, and it is also the "destiny" that has not disappeared from him until now, and it is also the reason why he did not stop Lyanna from attacking Asgard.

Because no matter whether he takes action or not, the King of Gods will do all this today, and Ares is the pawn he throws out.

So he let all the angels retreat into the spiritual world, gave up those believers whom he never took seriously, and allowed Zeus to be satisfied with the spiritual world's concession after the result of the test, and completely unified the earth, the ocean, the underworld and the starry sky, just waiting for his divine self to return and defeat everything with the black sword that would end everything. Could he accept such a choice?

"Of course not."

"If the order and destiny of the present world collapse, there will be no God-King in the Fourth Era. On the other hand, the God-King and the present world are so closely related."

"The extension of royal authority is only the beginning. However, if Zeus is allowed to continue to do all this and make the gods obey him one by one, it would be equivalent to asking him to personally condense the loose forces of the world into a rope and unify them under the supreme rules."

"This great achievement may truly change the succession of God Kings, so that in later legends, there will be one theoretical 'Fourth Generation God King' after another, but no one has ever really replaced him... and I will also face a more powerful present."

"Why should I accept such a result?"

From the world's perspective, perhaps what Zeus did was right.

But from another perspective, Ryan thought this was extremely stupid.

He told Clotho that he would save the world, save the world, and save the world again.

Although these three worlds do not all refer to Chaos, there is indeed one that does.

In the dark, Ryan spoke to himself.

In fact, as the era progresses to today, as he discovers one secret after another that he once did not know, the choices he makes are constantly shifting and changing.

If at the beginning of everything he just wanted to tear apart the destined fate, become the true master of the spiritual world, and exist forever in this world, then now it is more than that.

"Come... another me."

"Keep it honest."

Ryan said this, and at the other end of the distant void, God looked over here.

He saw Zeus in front of Olympus, saw Lyanna, saw the Well of Samsara, saw Erebus who was hesitating whether to do something, saw Nyx who was silently watching everything, and saw Gaia hiding underground.

Of course, the most important thing is.

He saw the eye in the Well of Samsara that had been sealed by Ryan himself.

He had long lost his memory and thoughts, leaving only simple and strong instincts.

It seemed to be aware of the gaze, and even though it was sealed, it still looked fiercely in the direction where the gaze came from.

Then in the next moment, the Twisted Eye trembled.

It retracted its outward tentacles and dared not make any more provocations.

You will die, you will die... Even though even the self has disappeared, the instinct of all things to desire existence still remains.

Even though the seal that once locked it was opened silently, it remained motionless.

"Go."

With tired eyes, Ryan smiled silently on the nameless mountain.

He once thought that the Distorted Eye and the Mother Tree were one and the same, but it was not until later that he realized that although the two looked the same, they were actually very different.

One is the derivative of the power of the destroyer, and the other is the last remnant of the destroyed.

Perhaps they are the most irreconcilable enemies.
