Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 100 Secret Chat in the Bedroom, Goddess of Rest

The secret chamber of the queen of the underworld, the queen sits on her dark throne.

Her vermilion lips were slightly raised, and her divine voice was elegant.

"You have a duel with that giant dragon, and the winning rate is less than [-]%."

"!!!"

Zagreos trembled all over, and he raised his head with an incredulous expression on his face.

"My revered mother of God... what are you talking about..."

"You can hear clearly."

"Yes, I can hear clearly. Every word of the Mother of God seems to be carved into my heart with a knife, like a whip, to beat that word into my body."

"But I don't understand?"

"You said that my... chance of winning is less than [-]%?"

Persephone said slowly, "My son. Do you know that the giant dragon has opened its double body at the level of a demigod."

"That night, the huge World Tree burned in the sky, and then the World Tree split into two."

"Thousands of creatures in the underworld have seen the grand scenery."

Zagreos said: "I know! I also saw that strange scene, but his second source of divine power has collapsed!"

"Without a second source of divine power, the current him is not fundamentally different from an ordinary demigod!"

Persephone said: "What if I told you...he was just a dragon at that time?"

"Yaron...?" Zagreos' divine voice sank.

"At that time, he had green scales all over his body, and he exhaled mist."

"At that time, he was a sub-dragon who still had a flesh and blood body."

"And now, how long has it been?"

"He has gotten rid of the shackles of flesh and blood, and the dragon scales and dragon body have become almost fluid."

"The whole body is transparent, exuding seven thousand kinds of brilliance, which is the divine power of dreams."

Persephone paused.

"He has evolved... no longer a sub-dragon, but a real giant dragon!"

"These... I don't know." Zagreos shook his head.

The Empress said: "Yes. You don't know."

"I estimate that if you fight him hand-to-hand, you will be tied at most."

"And when you use the source of divine power, he also uses the source of divine power—you will suffer a lot!"

After hearing these words, Zagreos fell silent.

After a long time, he said, "Thank you, Mother of God, for your reminder."

"I won't let him win that easily."

"Even if I have to lose, I want to lose with dignity."

Zagreos stood up, bowed his head and saluted, "Honorable Mother of God, I'm going to practice."

"My son, even at this moment, you still refuse to speak."

"Triton, Poseidon's son of the ocean. He was willing to beg the Sea God for decades, and the Sea God gave him the incomparably precious Ocean Horn."

"You, as a child of the underworld, never ask for anything from your Godmother and Godfather."

"Even if it is the gem of the underworld controlled by your father, you never ask for it... My son, what are you thinking?"

Zagreos replied: "Mother of God, I already have a lot, please allow me to refuse your kindness."

"Even if I lose the battle, I will still fall standing up. I will never let the reputation of you and the father of God be ashamed!"

"..." Persephone sighed softly.

"In the God Realm, there are so many living beings who will risk their lives for a tiny piece of God Stone, fighting to the death."

"You only need to ask, and you can get countless underworld gems from me."

"You never do."

Zagreos when he was a teenager appeared in the mind of the queen of the underworld.

Wearing worn-out armor, carrying a broken sword, and carrying a coffin, he went to the wilderness of the underworld to compete with the creatures in the wilderness for a little bit of poor resources.

He often came back seriously injured and fell into Persephone's arms, holding a few finely crushed god stones in his hands.

"Okay." Persephone nodded, "If you don't want it, I won't force you."

"Then at this moment, I am no longer your mother of God, I am your teacher."

"Show me the source of your divine power."

She smiled. "Suggestions just need to be spoken, they are free."

"And sometimes advice is worth more than gold."

"I want to give you a free suggestion that is more valuable than gold."

"Show the source of your divine power."

Zagreos hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Okay."

boom!
A huge phantom appeared behind him, it was a dark land, and countless huge gaps were cracked on the ground, and flame storms gushed out of the gaps.

The source of Zagreos' divine power: [Dark Gap, Flame Storm]!
Persephone glanced at the source of power.

She said faintly: "My son... When you were born, you have already awakened the source of divine power."

"At that time—the source of your divine power was very simple. It was a vast and boundless black land, and a gap was opened above the land."

"For thousands of years, you have continued to expand that dark gap, and then let the flame storm gushes out from it..."

"Yes, mother." Zagreos nodded.

"What are you after?"

"I..." Zagreos was speechless for a while, "I want to pursue more powerful divine power. I want the source of divine power to look... more terrifying."

Persephone shook her head, "No. My son, you are totally wrong."

"The source of your divine power is not that the more cracks the better, the more flame storms the better."

"The highest state of the source of divine power is to cooperate with each other to surpass the limits of the gods themselves."

"The next level of realm is to have a supreme artistic conception."

Persephone pointed to the mural on the wall.

The woman in the mural sits alone in a dark room with a little blood on her chest.

She looks like Persephone and is dead.

"If the woman doesn't look like me, no matter how much blood is smeared on this painting, it will be useless."

"Blood, just a little on the chest is enough."

"The same goes for your source of divine power." The Empress of the Underworld paused for a moment, the shadow of death swirling on her face.

"Remove all those redundant elements."

"It's just a piece of dark land. On the ground, there is a bottomless crack."

"That's enough."

"!!!"

Zagreos thought to himself, "There are countless cracks in the desolate land, from which flame storms erupted."

"In contrast, on the desolate land, there is a bottomless, dark and endless gap in the abyss."

"The latter is correct?"

"Is that really the case...?"

The Empress of Hades seemed to have seen through Zagreos's intentions.

She said slowly: "The artistic conception of the source of divine power needs to conform to the nature of the gods."

"As a child of the underworld, your source of divine power should be mysterious and majestic."

"My son, remember."

"Thousands and countless flame storms are like wild dogs showing their fangs, which will not bring majesty."

"On the contrary, there is a bottomless gap in the desolate land, like a beast in the dark, it approaches silently."

These words seemed to hit Zagreos' heart, he trembled, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

"The vicious ones, if they want to show their strength, they will only appear weaker..."

"The strong man, just standing there, reveals his majesty."

"Mother is teaching me... I have let the Mother of God down."

In an instant, Zagreos' divine body was staggering and his face was pale.

Queen of darkness, Persephone, she said softly: "My son, do not be shaken."

"Even if your heart is really shaken, you must not show it."

"Yes." Zagreos tried to stabilize his mind.

"My son, you must accept this."

Empress Ming raised her fingertips, a bunch of shadows emerged on it, and then the bunch of shadows condensed into a flower.

"Shadow Rose..." Zagreos watched.

"It is controlled by the Empress of the Underworld, with supreme divine power."

"The divine power that revives the dead!"

The empress groaned in a low voice.

"deceased."

"From death and dreams."

"recovery."

She threw the shadow rose to the ground.

It turned into a crimson shadow, brush—the shadow suddenly expanded, and then converged into one point, condensing on the coffin beside Zagreos.

boom!
The coffin suddenly opened, and a strong mist burst out from it!
There lay a goddess, her eyes closed, her face serene, in a huge gray nightgown, her hands folded, revealing her pale bare feet.

Inside the coffin was Zagreos' sister, Makaria, the goddess of rest.

She was born with Zagreos, and she has fallen into eternal sleep since birth, symbolizing the rest after death.

Since his birth, Zagreos has been carrying the coffin, and has never been separated for a moment.

hum...

The power of the Shadow Rose converges on Makaria.

She slowly opened her eyes!

"!!!"

Zagreos had an incredulous look on his face, "She...was awake?"

Boom——!A violent thunder fell from the sky!
Then, Zagreos felt endless cries and screams, soaring into the sky!

The strong hostility and anger turned into entities, turning into black clouds, rainstorm and thunder, raging in the whole underworld!
For a moment, the underworld collapsed, as if the end of the world had come!

Zagreos felt the upheaval in the underworld, "This is... this is the anger and resentment of the undead!"

"...Why?"

"Why did the anger and resentment of the undead suddenly burst out?"

"Of course it's because your sister has woken up." The Empress Dowager said quietly.

"She is...the Goddess of Rest. When she is asleep, she will bring the souls of the underworld to rest after death."

"Now, she's awake..."

"The rest after death also disappears."

"So, the resentment and anger of the undead will explode."

"..."

Makarya's eyes are pure white with no pupils.

She stretched out her hands, looked at Zagreos, and opened her mouth, "Ah. Ah."

Zagreos took her in his arms.

She stared blankly around.

"Talk to her, Zagreos." The queen said quietly, "Let her attack your enemies."

"She will follow your orders."

Zagreos held Makaria in his arms, with an incredulous look on his face.

"Can she attack the enemy?"

"Yes...as long as you give her the order."

"A long, long time ago, when Makaria was just born." The Empress of Hades stared at the dark distance.

"Hades woke her once."

"Father of God awakened her...to fight with whom?"

"At that time, there were 7000 trillion thunderbolts surrounding the underworld."

"Your godfather... is fighting Zeus."

"!!!"

"Macaria...can actually hurt Zeus?!!!"

Zagreos was shocked, Zeus is now the God Realm of Olympus, without a doubt the number one combat power!

There may be others who are stronger than him, such as Gaia, the goddess of the earth, such as the Great Mother Goddess, and Chaos, the God of Chaos.

But they have not moved for a long time.

Zeus can suppress Poseidon and Hades by himself!

"She can't hurt Zeus, and she can't hurt any god."

"Macaria can interfere with the thinking of the gods, causing their hearts to ache instantly and their breath to be unstable."

"It will give you the upper hand in the fight."

The queen of the underworld smiled, she fell into memory.

"It was a wonderful battle. Hades held Macaria in his arms and ordered Macaria to attack."

"Macaria opened her pure white eyes, and slowly stretched out her finger, pointing at Zeus."

"Then, the seventy-two million trillion thunderbolts surrounding the underworld suddenly became chaotic!"

"God King Zeus," the queen of the underworld suddenly gritted her teeth and said.

"Barely standing still!"

"Oh my god..." Zagreos revealed an incredulous expression, "The ability to make even a god-king tremble..."

"In that case..."

He lowered his head and looked at the white-haired girl in his arms.

She looked up at him too.

"In that case, why didn't the Father of God wake her up again?"

"Didn't the Father of God often conflict with the King of God?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly, "Ha."

"Little Macaria, I don't like Hades."

"I'm afraid it's because Hades seldom hugs her and always takes her with him."

"She likes you. So, she will listen to you."

"Little Macaria, is it?" The Queen of Hades suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Yes……"

Makarya nodded slowly with her pure white pupils open.

"Brother... let me... refer to someone."

She smiled sweetly.

"Whoever I mean."

"Okay." The queen of the underworld clapped her hands, her divine voice was low: "Macaria, go to sleep, and bring your rest to this world."

"Yes Yes……"

Makaria gradually closed her eyes, and she fell asleep in Zagreos' arms.

The moment she fell asleep, the soaring resentment and resentment in the underworld disappeared.

The undead have regained the peace of the afterlife.

The world quieted down.

"Zaglios."

"Yes. My mother of God." Zagreos knelt on the ground, gently placing Triya in the coffin.

"You were born with Triya, and you grew up with her in her sleep."

"Your destinies are closely intertwined."

"You can use her abilities to fight, which you were born with."

"do you understand?"

"Yes." Zagreos nodded.

"great."

The Queen of the Underworld said quietly, "My son, prepare to fight to the death."

"If you can improve your source of divine power, your strength will be doubled compared to what it is now."

"If you make good use of Macaria's ability again, the mental pain that will make Zeus unstable in battle—"

"Your winning percentage..." The Empress of Ming stared into the darkness.

Her divine voice became a little wet at some point.

"Probably [-]%."
