Big octopus in the deep sea: I can evolve infinitely

Chapter 81 Outer Gods (Two in One)

"Om-"

In the blue sky above the Acroous River, a majestic eagle folded its wings after drawing a beautiful parabola, and landed in front of a giant playing with poking ants around with its finger.

The giant was stunned when he saw the big eagle. He didn't understand why a big eagle dared to come in front of the giant, so he wasn't afraid of being roasted into a roasted eagle by himself?

But after the big eagle changed into the appearance of Zeus, he belatedly remembered that Zeus seemed to like changing into various animals. Epimetheus stood up and said, "I salute you, great god-king Zeus."

"Where's your brother?" Zeus asked.

Hearing Zeus's question, Epimetheus immediately thought of his brother's explanation, and said quickly, "My brother knew that His Majesty the God King was coming, so he has been waiting for you."

As he said that, Epimetheus began to lead the way. Zeus standing behind him frowned after hearing the phrase "waiting for you", and the image of the statue he saw above Dodona appeared in his mind. And the huge statue of Prometheus...

"Has Prometheus already despised me, the god-king?"

Thinking this way in his heart, Zeus didn't show it. He followed Epimetheus all the way up the mountain, and after a while, he followed Epimetheus to the top of the mountain, and then saw the man soaked in the hot spring on the top of the mountain.Huge giant with closed eyes.

"Prometheus."

Seeing the giant lying in the hot spring without getting up, Zeus frowned, and immediately called out his name.

"Salute to you, His Majesty the Great God-King Zeus."

Prometheus opened his eyes and greeted the god king respectfully. His eyes full of wisdom were bloodshot at some point. He looked at Zeus and said, "I know what you want to ask, but the great god My lord, although I am proficient in prophecy, there are very few things in this universe that can be hidden from me, but the Outer God is different. He is the God of the Outer World and does not belong to this universe. As long as He does not enter our world, even if It's fate, and it can't include him in it."

After a moment of silence, Zeus asked another question, "The most intelligent giant in the world, I want to know how to solve the pollution brought by that outer god."

"Haven't you already solved the pollution?" Prometheus looked at Zeus with strange eyes.

seal,

That is the best way to deal with pollution.

It is possible to minimize the consequences of pollution, so that pollution cannot affect the world and protect other places.

"That's just a seal, it's a way to minimize the loss, not a solution... As a god king, I will never allow myself to be powerless against pollution, and today after the Outer God pollutes a place, we seal it up, Tomorrow, the Outer Gods will pollute a place and we will seal this place up again, year after year, year after year, and sooner or later, the entire universe will be eroded by the Outer Gods so that there is no room for our gods."

The mighty new god-king, Prometheus, with his bright eyes, waited for the wise man's answer.

But the giant who claimed to be the most intelligent among the giants just shook his head, "Those scarlet lights that bring pollution are just appearances, and its real core is madness, and madness is the divine product of that outer god, which corresponds to reason, You can strip the rationality of a person or god from his/his body, turning this person or god into a chaotic, hazy, selfless existence, and you can completely annihilate rationality from this universe ?"

Without waiting for Zeus to answer, Prometheus took the initiative to give the answer, "You can't do it, your lightning is indeed extremely powerful, it can destroy all tangible and traceable matter, and the sea, sky, earth, and the underworld are all there. You are trembling in front of the lightning, unable to hold yourself, but Zeus, madness is invisible and metaphysical."

"What is metaphysical is called Tao, and what is below is called utensils... The upper is above the lower... How can the metaphysical destroy the metaphysical?"

As he said that, the wise man suddenly felt a burst of fatigue. He soaked in the hot spring, let the heat dissipate his fatigue, and said with strength, "The only solution I can think of is to get those madness out of our world. It is stripped from things, and then thrown into the dark void beyond the chaos, so that madness is far away from our world, but Chaos is the ancient god of Chaos, and if you want to pass through Chaos, you must get Chaos permission, but this god has been turned into an ignorant existence a long time ago, and he will not react and respond to any changes, so Zeus..."

this will not work.

Prometheus did not say this sentence, but Zeus understood it. He looked at the wise man with a calm expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something. In the end, he let out a long breath, and then He said firmly, "At the beginning, when my father Cronus ruled the universe, all the gods were silent about his powerful power and did not dare to disobey him in the slightest, but at that time, I made a move, and I Challenged him, knocked him off the throne of the god king, and locked him in the abyss of Tartarus..."

"Prometheus, I am the king of gods, the king of the gods, and the master of the entire universe. I will do all the impossible things. Cronus, curse, fate, and other gods seem to be powerful. They are just a little bit of difficulty in my process of ruling the universe, and I will crush them all."

As he spoke, he stopped talking to the wise man, and instead walked down the mountain.

The belated Epimetheus glanced at his brother, then at the king, hesitated, and then walked down the mountain. For some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable on the mountain, as if It was as if something was hidden inside, so he would rather play with ants down the mountain than with his brother.

The wise giant Prometheus watched a god king and a giant drift away, shook his head, and then gently closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes, the steaming hot spring began to lose its appearance, and all the images in front of him changed. The hot spring shrouded in white mist distorted into a dark red pool of boiling blood. Some kind of disgusting viscous liquid similar to mollusc excretion, and the body of Prometheus soaked in the blood pool fell out bit by bit.

Many people or gods know that Prometheus is the most intelligent wise man among the giants. Only Metis, the goddess of primitive wisdom, can overwhelm him in wisdom. In this world, there is nothing that he does not know and propose solutions Yes, but no one knows, his wisdom is still above the collection of all wisdom, the original wisdom goddess Metis who knows all the knowledge that other people/gods know or don't know.

He is the existence with the most knowledge in this world.

Gods, giants, monsters, men, or whatever, none could surpass him in store of knowledge.

Because he made a prophecy.

In this prophecy, he saw that Poseidon, the king of the sea, set off a flood in order to challenge Zeus, the king of gods, he saw that the human beings created by himself were completely destroyed in the great flood, and he saw that he was used by Zeus for stealing divine fire. Continuous chains bound him to a sheer cliff, so that he could never sleep, nor bend his weary knees, and drove a diamond nail into his heaving chest, and sent a vulture to gnaw every day. Eat his liver, let his pain never end, and that huge monster full of knowledge that sneaked in before the gods were aware of it.

He has never seen any person, god or monster whose body contains so much knowledge. That knowledge flows like a clear and sweet spring, and the knowledge of the entire universe, no, not just one universe is included in it. ... This knowledge fascinates him so much that he can't help but devote himself to absorbing and understanding it.

"The Dao can be the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name can be the name, but it is not the eternal name. The beginning of all things is nameless, and the mother of all things is named. Therefore: if you have no desire, you can observe its essence; if you have desire, you can see it. Look at its origin. The two come from the same place, with different names and the same name. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders..."

As he recited, his nose, his ears, his eyes, and the muscles on his body, these pieces of flesh fell down one after another, and a little scarlet light penetrated from the fallen flesh, and He seemed to be unaware of this, and still closed his eyes, immersed in the spring of knowledge, "There is nothing that is not heaven, nothing is not life, nothing is not god, and nothing is not yuan. Since things are like this, how can humans Otherwise, everyone can be called heaven, everyone can be called god, and everyone can be fatal. You can’t say that heaven is not heaven, that god is not god, that life is not life, and that one is not one..."

……

After Zeus left the mountain, he came to Dodona immediately. After he stopped here for a while, he left Dodona and returned to the holy mountain of Olympus.

As soon as he returned to the holy mountain of Olympus, he ordered the gods to use their theocracy to drive back the sea water still occupying the earth and speed up the recovery process of the earth. The souls of the dead children, whose bodies flowed with the blood of gods and men, were brought up.

Hades, who had always been ruthless and refused the living to intervene in the dead, rejected Zeus at first, but under Zeus's strong orders, even He, the Pluto, had to give in and released the souls of those children, allowing them to use The identity of the living returned to the aboveground world.

Zeus, who had obtained the souls of his children, put the souls of these children into human female bodies, allowing them to return to the world of the living in human form.

His purpose of doing this is, on the one hand, to allow his children to lead mankind, a race that is destined to become the master of the earth in the future.

Originally, he didn't care about human beings, but what happened in the city of Dodona made him realize that for creatures like new human beings, the power of the god king is useless, because new human beings don't care about a person who won't pay attention. They care more about a king who rules them.

The king is to them power, and what the king likes is to them what they like.

Therefore, among the statues they built, the statue of the wise Prometheus respected by the king was the largest, and then he, the king of the gods who commanded the gods, was the largest.

In order to fully demonstrate his authority, Zeus decided to let his children be the kings of mankind, and let them command mankind and respect himself.

On the other hand, it is to take this opportunity to let my children experience among human beings, stimulate the blood of the gods in them, release their potential, let them become heroes, and then become themselves to fight against fate and try to swallow this world. Warrior of the Outer Gods.

After arranging for his children, Zeus returned to the holy mountain of Olympus again. He made the gods closely watch everything that happened in this world. He has accomplished the great cause of making his own children.

But this time, He did not create children to fight against the curse of Cronus, so that his youngest child would never appear, but to expand the power of the gods, so that those godless theocratic powers could get their masters as soon as possible, and then strengthen Olin The power of the gods of Peas in order to fight against the outer gods.

He and the fairy Carme gave birth to Britomartis, and raised her to be the patron saint of hunters, fishermen and navigators, and then found Themis, the goddess of law and justice, and gave birth to him. God Dike, and then He found his ex-wife, the Titan god Mnemosyne, intercourse with her, and gave birth to the Nine Muses. Zeus endowed them with the theocratic power of art, dance, literature, and music...

With the birth of gods one by one, the ancient holy mountain of Olympus became more and more lively, and the strength of the gods of Olympus became stronger and stronger.

On the ground, the great flood that once nearly wiped out human beings finally subsided under the mighty power of the gods, and the land soaked by sea water began to grow green branches, and the whole land was thriving. After seeing this scene, Dodonari's Some dexterous new humans came to the palace together to meet King Deucalion, and explained to the king the reason why they wanted to leave.

Originally they thought that the king would reprimand them or try to stop them, but what surprised them was that Deucalion appreciated their request and gave them a lot of money while allowing them to leave. Be supportive and let them leave with someone willing to leave with them.

With the support of Deucalion, many people in Dodonari left their hometowns and moved to other places. They were like dandelion seeds, blown by the wind, and the seeds were blown to the earth.

In just over ten years, traces of new humans are everywhere on the land.

These human beings who jumped out of the stone built cities in various places they thought were good, and cities sprang up quickly, and the whole world entered the city-state era. At the same time, their planting technology and refining technology continued to improve. Progress, in the normal world, takes hundreds or even thousands of years to complete the change of eras. In this mythical world, it takes more than ten years to complete this change.

But these things that belong to the earth have nothing to do with the sea.

Since the failure of the last war between the sea and the land, the gods began to punish the Atlanteans who followed the sea god Poseidon to attack the holy mountain of Olympus. Drop a curse that reduces the wisdom of all Atlanteans to the level of beasts, and write this bloodline into the bloodline of Atlanteans.

——As long as any one of the parents is an Atlantean, the child born from them must be a beast with low IQ.

In this way, the kingdom of Atlanteans will naturally collapse.

But when the curse was cast down, the gods found that the Atlanteans had the same pollution as Narcissus, the difference was that the Atlanteans were very slightly polluted and did not have serious pollution. The mutation, did not go crazy.

After discovering this, the gods changed their minds. After imprisoning a few Atlanteans for observation and testing, they cleaned the entire sea and killed all the Atlanteans.

Blood, dyed the sea red.

The whole sea is full of wailing.

Then, the sea calmed down again.

The entire ocean, as if nothing had happened, returned to calm. In the blue sea, big fish still eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp, even if occasionally under the intervention of the gods, some shrimp counterattacked Such a miracle happened, but for the entire sea, these were just a small wave. After the waves passed, the entire sea returned to a calm time. As for the once glorious civilization of Atlantis, except Except for some remaining city ruins, there is no trace of it.

And in this case, a person walked out of the sea with a child in his arms.
