Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 206 Burial Place, The Last Gift

Zeus grew long white hair, covering his entire face. There were blood stains all over the corners of his mouth, and blood and minced meat were scattered all over the floor.

There was only numbness and cold light in his eyes, like a lion's.

……

As the gods looked on, he devoured Metis whole.

Many gods closed their eyes, but Hera sat there with her eyes feverishly, as if boiling.

"The Dinner Party of the Gods is over for now."

Finally, Zeus ate the last piece of minced meat. He only left these words, then turned into lightning and disappeared.

"Hahahaha-haha-!!"

The moment Zeus disappeared, the golden bead representing the "widow" behind Hera suddenly dimmed and turned to the "girl".

Her white hair and wrinkles disappeared and she transformed into a young girl.

Her face showed the ferocity of a teenager, looking at the broken flesh and blood on the ground, laughing wildly.

Sometimes pure ferocity is only possible in teenagers because they do things without thinking about the consequences.

"This banquet of the gods originally included the creation of humans and the twelve main gods. Since the king of gods is not here, we will discuss it later." Prometheus looked a little gloomy. He glanced at Hera, then lowered his body and said, Gather the remaining bones of Metis.

The gods also left.

"My child, let's go." The Queen of Hades said softly next to the dragon.

The dragon nodded. He knew that the Dinner of the Gods was the most dangerous occasion in Olympus, but only by witnessing it with his own eyes could he know how cruel it was.

He transformed into a dragon shape, flapped his wings gently, and suddenly realized that the stars on his dragon wings were sparkling and embedded with gems.

"This is -" The giant dragon probed briefly and found that they were all emotional stones such as "anger", "victimization", "sadness" and so on.

"No wonder my emotions barely fluctuated during the trial just now, and I just watched with cold eyes. It turns out that my emotions were automatically transformed into emotion stones."

The dragon casually took off a gem and thought to himself.

"If possible, I really want to save Metis. But that is beyond my power. If I do it, it will be like hitting an egg against a stone."

The dragon suddenly realized that he was indeed full of emotions, whether he was a human or a dragon. The previous incident with Medea was mostly due to his own passion.

In the past, when Zeus swallowed Metis, he would have stepped forward.

"Having the power to create the emotion stone seems to turn me into a robot, always calm. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

The giant dragon thought in his mind and was about to flutter his wings and fly away when he heard a gentle voice behind him.

"Son of the underworld, please stay. I have something to say to you."

Turning around, it was Prometheus.

He stood there, the torch burning behind him, holding some bones in his hands, which belonged to Metis.

"Go ahead and be careful. Prometheus is highly valued by Zeus, and there is nothing wrong with interacting with him." Next to her, the Queen of Hades whispered with her divine breath, and then left the temple with the gods of the underworld.

In an instant, only Prometheus and the dragon were left in the temple.

"Dear prophet and prophet, what advice do you have?" the dragon said.

Prometheus stared at the dragon. He looked at the demon army behind the dragon that covered the sky and the sun.

"Extremely weird." Prometheus thought in his heart.

There are many gods in Olympus with strange abilities and images, such as Eurynome, who can deceive himself, and Hera, who has just experienced a personality change.

However, the demon behind the dragon... Prometheus didn't know how to describe it.

They seem to come from another world, somewhere between fiction and reality.

Prometheus suppressed the curiosity in his heart and did not ask about it. He said: "I am going to bury the goddess Metis and collect her relics. Please come with me. Afterwards, I have important matters to discuss with you."

The dragon nodded, and then asked curiously: "Where will the Olympus gods be buried after they die? Where will their souls go?"

The gods of Olympus are nearly immortal, but they can still fall.

The simplest one is Metis’ parents, the former Oceanus couple. They were killed by Cronus because they adopted Zeus.

"Most of these fallen gods were buried in the far west of the ocean, on a misty island." "As for the souls, the souls of gods are not like ordinary creatures and will go to the underworld. I don't know where their souls are."

The dragon asked: "Then, do we also want to go to the island where the gods are buried?"

Prometheus shook his head, "The King of Gods has given me clear instructions on the burial place of Metis. When it is thrown into the sea, no tombs should be left, so that many creatures can have a place to worship."

The dragon nodded, thinking in his mind: "I have even considered not burying Metis. Sure enough, Zeus has long been prepared to devour Metis."

"At the last moment, he hesitated, but in the end, his fear of the Titan's curse prevailed."

……

Prometheus and the dragon left Mount Olympus and flew into the depths of the ocean.

Prometheus is the seventh level of the main god and is extremely powerful. The dragon's body is surrounded by strong winds and flames. The dragon's scales just cut through the air and will shatter the space. The speed is not slower than Prometheus.

Prometheus was secretly shocked again. He compared the Son of the Underworld and the Son of the Ocean, and it turned out that the Son of the Underworld was stronger.

Finally, they flew out for a long time and stopped in the depths of the ocean.

"This is Poseidon's sphere of influence. But with Prometheus by his side, he shouldn't take action rashly."

The dragon mobilizes its divine power and is ready to summon [Thousands of Dreams-Surrounding Circle] at any time. This is a newly acquired skill after evolution, specially used for escaping.

The sea water collided with each other, erupting with a low roar, but there was no reaction.

"Then, former goddess of wisdom, this is your final destination."

Prometheus slowly threw the minced meat in his hand into the ocean, "Your wisdom surpasses that of the gods, and you can even see the power of fate."

"But, Goddess of Wisdom, can you really not see through your own destiny? Where has your wisdom gone in the face of love?"

Prometheus whispered, seeming dissatisfied with Metis' death.

The dragon stood beside him without saying a word.

Through this banquet of the gods, the dragon had a deeper understanding of her.

He personally prepared the medicine for the fall of the gods, and planned to personally kill Cronus, support Zeus on the throne, and break the Titan curse.

At the dinner party, she saw at a glance that Themis' trinity was not complete, and wanted Themis to stop.

Finally, she tried to use her past memories to influence Zeus.

She was obviously extremely smart, but...her intelligence didn't save her life.

Prometheus threw the last piece of flesh and blood into the sea. Metis' flesh and blood entered the sea water, emitting a little blue light, and there were no schools of fish to eat it.

"Let's go." Prometheus said.

"Wait a minute," the dragon said.

Buzz... little bits of divine light floated, and fragments of beauty appeared in front of the giant dragon.

It was given by Aphrodite to the dragon to give to the wives of Zeus.

The dragon gave the fragments to the six wives of Zeus, except Metis, because she disappeared early and her whereabouts are unknown.

"This is Aphrodite's gift, which she entrusted me to give to the noble wives of the God-King."

The dragon whispered: "This belongs to you."

The dragon tossed the fragments into the ocean.

In fact, the dragon can keep the fragments for himself. But after the dinner of the gods, the dragon finally felt pity and sadness for Metis in his heart.

"I really can't save you...but at least, you should have what others have." The dragon said in his heart.

The fragments of beauty floated on the ocean for a while, with dots of divine light floating, and then sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

Suddenly, a clear spring seemed to rise in the dragon's heart, and he had some insights.

"I seem...to have obtained a secret text of wisdom..." The dragon tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart.

"Goddess of Wisdom, I will give you the last sacrifice, do you also want to give me the last gift..."
