Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 120 Real Death (5-in- k)

Standing in the fourth level of the spirit world, Cronus recalled the previous conversation and was once again amazed by the unconstrained ideas of the ancient god in front of him.

That prophecy cannot do this is certain. Today's Cronus is no longer the same person he was ten thousand years ago. He has his own understanding of the world, destiny, and all things. He knows very well what prophecies can and cannot do.

But from another perspective, he also realized that Ryan had never relied on the so-called 'prophecy' to see his destiny, but had used some other method.

However, this adds another layer of mystery to the other party. The unknown is always scarier than the known.

"If I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have known. When we were fighting life and death, what else did you have time to do here - art?"

"Haha, in your eyes, my behavior towards my father was like a performance, the kind designed to make you laugh."

Looking at the scroll that was still being 'lit' on the ground, Cronus laughed at himself.

Before, he was burned away by the part that floated on the 'surface' in this kind of flame, and then watched Ryan put that part on his body.

What is left in front of him now is just a special incarnation.

"It's very expressive. If I weren't the one painting it, maybe I would still have the idea of ​​collecting it."

A fair assessment. Although it was 'burning' on the ground, the content on the scroll was clearly visible.

Heavenly Father Uranus was passed through his chest, but his expression was gentle and kind. He seemed to be whispering, like a loving father teaching his children the truth.

Opposite him, he held a scythe in his hand, his face full of shock and anger, and the Titans had different expressions. At the bottom of the picture, the cracks in the earth resemble human faces, which symbolize the mother earth who is always fighting against the sky.

This scroll records the end of the first generation of God-Kings, and now it ignites the ‘fire’ to bury the second generation of God-Kings.

No matter what happened to him, at least 'God King Cronus' was 'dead'.

"This kind of power is [death], right? There is a god king's 'death'. It can probably support a medium divine power now?"

After all, we are only half dead now, so the rise of the concept of death has not yet reached its end. Feeling that power, Cronus seemed to see the end of all spirits.

Of course, this does not include the gods, and it cannot affect the source of the immortality of the true God. But at this moment, he remembered the only mistake in his life.

Beings like that he calls demigods can probably be easily erased from existence.

"Yes. The world of Chaos is horribly deformed in some aspects, such as life and death."

Nodding, Ryan stretched out his hand and pulled out a black force.

Those were [deaths] that had been absorbed by the spirit world before, and he threw them into the flames on the ground. The flames danced for a moment, then burned with greater intensity.

"Here we go," he said. "I get what I want, you get the hope of a new life, and then together we go on the greatest adventure of this era."

"Does an avatar count as an adventure?"

Cronus replied calmly, and slowly stepped forward.

"The incarnation that contains part of my essence, of course. If I get stuck in it, I will have a headache for a long time."

Responding casually, the power of the spiritual world was concentrated and blessed on the black fire in front of him.

In front of Ryan, the former 'King of Time and Space' stepped into the flames of death. The changes that had been half done before started to continue.

If the other party is not willing, even if he has unparalleled power in the spiritual world, Ryan cannot do anything to an immortal true god. This is established by the rules when Chaos was born. But when the other party took the initiative to cooperate, under the great divine power level, traces of wonderful things began to peel off Cronus' body.

That was his past, his existence, his vocation, and the world of Chaos. It was everything left to him by Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, as the identity of 'Cronos'. Every time they peel off, the presence of the former God King decreases, and the burning black fire becomes more intense.

Death is weak, for in Chaos the gods are immortal. But when a true immortal slowly enters 'death', its power also continues to increase.

From the bare feet, to between the knees, and then spread to the waist, neck, and above the head. The black fire ignited on [Death of the God King] became more intense, covering Cronus' entire body.

Until a certain moment, as if it had lost its fuel, all the black fire gradually extinguished. All that was left in place was a black faceted crystal.

In the previous process, the source power of time and space has been integrated into the world, and the boundary space of the seven-layer interface has become more stable. At the core of the spiritual world, a mirror that had already been formed suddenly increased its aura by several percent. Next to it, the origin of time oscillated one or two, but ultimately did not condense into one.

Just like Ryan underestimated the original god before, he also underestimated the complete [Creation Artifact]. This sacred object of time needs an opportunity to be born.

Of course, looking at it from another perspective, it is quite appropriate that he said at the end of the last era that this sacred object that symbolized [time] needed to be nurtured in one or two eras.

"pat-"

On the other side, all power was lost. After the black fire was extinguished, some blurry scrolls fell to the ground. Its material has been changed, it has experienced a fate and a cycle, and its ‘symbolism’ has been enhanced in some aspects. But after the previous burning, it no longer possesses the power of an artifact.

But Lane created it then for what it is today. Witnessing the picture of him personally terminating the previous God King, he could also naturally annihilate himself.

Without this special symbol of destiny, it would be really difficult for the weak 'Death' to do all this.

"In comparison, you are more like a real 'secret' now."

"Because your existence itself has been forgotten by all things."

At this time, in the fourth spiritual world, the former God King seemed to have been burned to death. But from Ryan's perspective, Cronus is still there. It's just that what makes him up now is his immortal source as a god.

That is the essence that Ryan still cannot understand, and it comes from Chaos itself, which is stronger than the great god. In the words of previous lives, this supreme essence exists and yet does not exist. It is neither dirty nor pure, neither born nor destroyed, neither increasing nor decreasing.

"Congratulations, you have completed the first step to regaining your life."

Stepping forward and picking up the scroll covered with burn marks, Ryan spread it out. Vaguely, the figure of Cronus in the painting became a little uncertain.

So he threw in the existence that did not involve power and belonged to the identity of Cronus, re-enriched the figure in the painting, and then tossed the scroll aside casually.

But in the fourth spiritual world, time and space are still chaotic and disordered. Only the light cocoon formed by the three gods around Ryan is dominated by order. So in the chaotic time and space of the spiritual world, this painting that lost its power just flickered and disappeared into nowhere.

"When to set off."

No sound came, but Ryan 'heard' Cronus' words. Nowadays, only those who are close to the great divine power can notice the former God King who lost everything.

Ryan could sense the urgency of the other party, just like a guest who had paid in full. Even though he knew that the other party was unlikely to breach the contract, he was still a little uneasy.

This has nothing to do with identity or state of mind, after all, he gave everything.

"Don't worry, I still have some things I haven't prepared."

He reached out and grabbed it, and in an instant, the power of the spiritual world enveloped most of the places in the world of Chaos. Following the subtle connection with the spirit body, Ryan directly locked his target.

After so many years, except for a few dangerous places, such as around the primitive gods, or the edge of the sea, and the end of the starry sky, the surface of the spiritual world has covered almost all places.

So under the influence of the Lord of the Spirit World, invisible power spread out. All the dead silver human souls were collected, turned into a ball of light, and fell into the hands of Ryan. Only a handful of humans who survived the battle between the gods escaped.

But this may not be a good thing. After all, being taken away by Ryan may not necessarily end well, but the humans left on the earth will definitely be liquidated by the new king.

"Some souls can be used to give you a preview and verify the feasibility of my idea."

"If I can succeed in the end, I will simply leave these sinful souls to you. I think you can make them obey you, right?"

Smiling slightly, Ryan had no idea of ​​using the power of the spiritual world to break down and digest the souls of two generations of humans, gold and silver.

As he said before, simply harvesting souls as seeds is too rough. A continuous cycle is the right path.

But given that the first two generations of humans cannot reproduce, the cycle of things should fall on their successors. “Of course, I will keep the souls of some mortal creatures honest.”

Some have bad intentions. Although these humans have no direct enmity with themselves, they are symbols of the hostility between Mother Earth and themselves. Moreover, the sinful aura in their souls is clearly visible in the special environment of the spiritual world.

Cronus promised that no matter how 'rebellious' these guys are, he has many ways to teach them what obedience is.

"Let's go then."

"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to it. If it weren't for the fact that as the master of spirituality, the main body of 'consciousness' in me is unified, I really wouldn't dare to go there with you."

Taking a piece of water from the [Well of Origin], Ryan stepped out and disappeared into the fourth spiritual world together with the illusory Cronus.

So this level of the spiritual world became quiet again, with only the three light cocoons of the pregnant god and [Death], which had reached a powerful divine power, still swaying slowly in the void.

······

Just when Ryan was absorbing the silver human soul, Erebus, the Lord of Darkness, standing at the border of the Lightless Realm, changed his expression.

Lifting his right foot, he was almost ready to step out. The entire lightless realm is turbulent with his actions. As long as he is willing, the entire underworld will separate in front of the original god, and he will personally try the depth of the 'god king'.

But the next moment, Erebus stopped again. Because he found that the part of the power he left in the silver human soul had not been touched.

They are still staying well in the soul, neither being discovered nor coming into contact with the roots of the spiritual world.

"Phew—there's no rush."

"I have waited for tens of thousands of years, let alone such a short time. Let him do some useless work first. What's the point of showing strength in front of some weak people?"

His eyes changed for a moment, then returned to normal, and he continued to sit back and observe the changes. Erebus could actually see that the confrontation between the figure and the gods was just a facade. In fact, he was testing the tolerance of the rules of the world in some form.

But this does not prevent the Lord of Darkness from secretly mocking him. After all, he knows that the other party will soon discover that there is no tolerance for the rigid world. In other words, His tolerance is zero tolerance.

My sister still doesn’t understand this truth. Even though Gaia itself is one of the cornerstones of the present world, when she walks in the world as half a great person, she is still constantly divided and weakened.

Even if he couldn't see the trajectory of his destiny, Erebus could guess that this weakening would not end until Gaia was completely dispelled from the great divine power or returned to its true form.

"If my dear sister is like this, what about you?"

"Of course, you're not under His control, so He can't influence you directly, but He can reject you, just like He rejected me."

He smiled lightly, but the Lord of Darkness knew that the magical uses of the God King's authority were actually more than that, otherwise he would not have been so impressed by it before. It's just that this effect is more aimed at the spiritual world, rather than an individual.

But now Erebus doesn't have a world of his own, so he doesn't envy this role very much.

Continuing to stand at the edge of the realm, feeling the darkness that separated him, Erebus waited quietly. Until he sensed that they appeared in a familiar yet unfamiliar place not far from him.

"Tartarus, I am actually quite curious about what is inside my ignorant brother."

"Let me see what you are going to do."

Frowning slightly, that part of the soul was brought into the abyss, which was undoubtedly beyond the expectation of the Lord of Darkness. Inside, although he could still feel his own power, it was more passive.

He can still know what they have experienced, but most likely after it happens, and there may be a small delay.

But how Silver Human's soul will be dealt with is beyond his control. So Erebus had no unnecessary reaction. He just put his hands behind his back and waited silently.

······

At the same time, on the earth.

The power of the God King is a manifestation of the blessings of this world. Others may not see the problem, but the world itself is difficult to be deceived.

Therefore, in 'Cronus', this power is passing away every minute and every second. Even if you do nothing, it will last up to seven days.

So in order to let the power of the God King, which was intertwined with the order of the world and was constantly declining, be able to persist for a while longer, 'Cronos' moved his heart and unlocked a distant blockade.

For a moment, the power to maintain the seal returned, and the aura around him immediately stabilized.

Nodding with satisfaction, 'Kronos' looked in front of him. He gently exerted force with his right hand, and the gods, who were still struggling to support themselves, were suddenly pressed to the ground inch by inch. The thunder and lightning transformed by the divine power and the ocean hit the giant hand, but could not shake it at all.

"Gaia, we are such an old friend."

Looking up, in the east of the earth, yellow light illuminates the sky, which is a sign that Mother Earth is coming.

Compared with Zeus, who is far from reaching his peak, this primitive god who has also not declined to the limit is an opponent worthy of facing up to.

"That's interesting. The current Zeus is nothing more than that. If you want to make the world feel the 'threat' from the gods, he alone is not enough."

With a slight snort, 'Cronos' figure swayed. The next moment, as the power of time and space surged, a virtual phase connecting heaven and earth rose up.

The sky is above your head and the earth is your feet. The sacred mountains are just the weeds beside our legs, and the mountains and rivers are just the ants in front of us. After adapting to the new perspective, the huge virtual phase energy moved, facing the Earth Mother from a distance.

"who are you?"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Gaia clenched her teeth, and she once again confirmed her guess. Cronus was replaced by someone else, and in the induction of the earth, the breath of his youngest son could not be found anywhere else.

Lion or Erebus, the only two people who could possibly do such a thing. At this moment, Gaia began to regret again, why she believed her brother's lies.

What is aimed at the silver humans in the spiritual world may be just like the prophecy said, this is completely poison aimed at the God King.

But in front of her, 'Cronus' didn't care what she was thinking.

He just bent down slightly, and the sea of ​​clouds was pushed away one by one. Looking at his nominal 'Mother Goddess' at the moment, 'Cronos' said lightly.

"Who am I? Don't you see clearly enough, Gaia? I am the God King, the supreme ruler who rules the sky, the earth and the sea."

"Of course, if you are willing to call me by my first name, it doesn't matter."

The giant phantom raised his head and looked in the direction of the starry sky. It seemed that as he unlocked the seal, some unexpected changes occurred there.

But that doesn't make sense. In the past, the owner of the sun was still a rival, but now, the sun itself is just a toy.

So he looked at Mother Earth, at the gods, and at all the beings who were supposed to be loyal to the God King.

Since he is now the God King, he should say what a God King should say.

"Praise my name, my foolish subjects."

The supreme power gathered together and spread to the world along with his voice.

"I am Cronus, the Lord of Time and Space!"

The power condensed to the extreme is swirling around the huge virtual phase, like a silver-white light belt. The next moment, 'Cronos' clenched his hands and hammered hard towards the earth.

There is nothing fancy, this is the collision between personality and power. The vast and endless earth-yellow halo was firmly blocked in front of him. Facing this overwhelming blow, Gaia and the earth became one, and the authority of the original god was undoubtedly revealed.

The world seemed to be silent for a moment. When two forces beyond the powerful divine power bombarded each other, the void began to collapse, and the aftermath pushed the gods back. After all, Gaia was a little behind, so using her position as the midpoint, the earth sunk down, forming a huge basin. Countless mountain gods and river gods turned to dust in an instant, but it was not over yet.

In the horrified eyes of the gods, the illusory figure that had just created all this took a step back under the force of the backlash, and collided with the towering sacred mountain.

The next moment, Mount Odiles, the tallest mountain in the world and the land closest to the sky, slowly collapsed towards the northwest after a violent tremor.

　I saw backstage that people didn't like the part about the fight between the Sun God and others. Maybe it's because I'm not very good at it, but the fight is not the focus, so I'll just write a little bit of it here and there. It's also the reason why I skipped the Titan War before. (Finally, don’t ask me where the second chapter is. The two chapters are combined. These chapters at the end of the era are not suitable for splitting)
