Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator.

Chapter 454: Bewitching and Dividing the Stars

There is no trace of human beings on the edge of the dim starry sky, only fragments of celestial bodies sliding along the inertia, like a never-stopping star instrument.

The closer you get to the edge of the starry sky, the denser the darkness and broken stars appear, and the 'thickness' of space becomes thinner.

He didn't know how far he had escaped, but only when the sense of danger behind him gradually dissipated did Zeferos finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The starry sky is too huge, especially outside the core.

If danger were to occur here, even the God of West Wind could not guarantee that the King of Gods would be able to detect it in time.

"...I never thought that the Mother of Light would have such a powerful enemy."

"Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise, I would not be able to deal with the existence that could be an enemy of Theia."

He couldn't help but feel a little scared. In the realm of true God, Zephyrus still had a long way to go.

Compared with these powerful beings at the pinnacle of divine power, the God of the West Wind did not think he had much chance of winning even if he called upon the other three wind gods to help him.

In the final analysis, if it were not for the balance of the laws of the world, each and every one of these beings might have the possibility of going further.

"Huh - I guess this also allows me to experience the difference in power."

"Compared to the Mother of Light, Apollo is still too immature."

Shaking his head slightly, Zeferos let out a breath.

It was feared that Theia would not be able to go to the human world, but his mission still needed to continue... However, just before he was about to leave, some doubts arose in the heart of the God of West Wind.

The divine power level is 20, which is the limit under the laws of the world. He has experienced it today.

And according to his own perception, even the Queen of Heaven Hera is actually inferior to Thea.

Zephyrus didn't know the reason. Perhaps it was because the Queen of Heaven's divine power was not that aggressive, or perhaps it was because the faith of a thousand years was indeed not enough to support Hera's promotion.

In short, even in the war of gods that broke out on the sea after the Meeting of the Golden Apple, the God of West Wind had never felt such strong oppression as today.

From this we can see that compared with this ancient Titan god, the Queen of Heaven is indeed inferior.

but……

"But what about Her Majesty Athena?"

"I'm one against three, and I still have the upper hand, but I don't feel any similar sense of oppression from Her Highness Athena. Why is that?"

Doubts flashed through his mind, but Zeferos didn't think much about it in the end.

Just like seeing the sword in Achilles' hand, even if it is related to the ancient sun god, the sacred mountain is still guarded by the king of gods.

Regardless of whether Athena is hiding something or not, the power of the God King is the guarantee to sweep away everything.

As long as Zeus did not show signs of weakness, Zephyrus, as a loyal and devoted minister of the King of Gods, had nothing to fear.

"Well... my loyalty is known to the world."

Nodding secretly, the God of West Wind identified the direction.

Next, he has two more places to visit.

It’s okay to fail once, but he will not betray the trust of His Majesty the God-King twice.

Regardless of threats or inducements, those who are supposed to come must show up.

······
Compared to his fruitless return from the Mother of Light, Zephyros' subsequent journey was much smoother.

First, in the extreme south of the starry sky, the God of the West Wind met the nominal brothers and sisters of the gods of the underworld, two gods who had also been away from the world for a long time.

Aether, the god of skylight, and Hemera, the goddess of daylight.

As gods born from the power of the original gods, they readily accepted Zephyros' invitation, but they still needed to make some preparations.

For a moment, the God of West Wind could not tell whether they had really made a decision.

But Zephyrus did not raise any question until he was sent out of the palace where they lived by the goddess of day.

Anyway, I have already made it clear that this is an invitation from the God King, so it would be fine if they just refused directly. But if they agreed on the surface and then refused later, I am afraid they would have no choice.

Having completed part of his task, Zephyrus did not stop.

He continued to move along the orbit of the starry sky, and finally stopped in a star field filled with dead stars and dust.

The last target is Coeus, the god of the lightless celestial body, who lives in seclusion here.

Unlike the place where Theia lived, if it were not for the fact that the Goddess of Light often traveled to the human world, Zephyrus would probably not have thought of finding the Titan god here.

"…As I just said, Your Highness Phoebe."

"I dare not tamper with the order of the God King. Whether you accept it or not, please give me an answer, His Highness Koos."

Holding the token containing the breath of Zeus in his hand, the God of West Wind looked at Phoebe who was leaving, silently waiting for the reply from the Goddess of Light.

As he expected, compared with his wife, Koeus had no intention of interfering in outside affairs.

He didn't even plan to come out to greet them, but stayed alone in his palace.

Fortunately, there is another one... As a person of the same kind, the God of West Wind believes that the Goddess of Light will find a way to convince her husband.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end... as long as she is willing to come, it will be enough to get the job done.

……

Tread-

Black columns and colorless reliefs.

Pearls, jade and precious stones dotted inside the simple temple seem out of place.

Listening to the voice coming from behind, Koos still stood quietly.

There was not much clothing on his tall figure, only a thick cloth wrapped around his waist, and his thick muscles were clearly visible.

Like the two extremes, there is never any superfluous decoration on the body of the God of the Lightless Celestial Body.

He doesn't like it and doesn't think it's necessary.

"Phobe, are you trying to persuade me again?"

The sound was thick and low, like the heavy rumble of a celestial body moving.

However, Fubai did not answer. She just lifted her skirt and walked slowly to her husband.

"how do you feel?"

"In recent years, the world's source power should have increased a lot."

"In your perception, how far are you from that step?"

“Like heaven and earth.”

"Or the abyss to the stars."

The voice was calm, and Koos seemed to be very open about it.

However, standing next to him, Fubai silently clenched his sleeves.

Yes, just like heaven and earth, how could she not know.

As a being who had once fought against the Father God, Phoebe understood that kind of pressure very well.

Even though his own priesthood backfired, and even though he controlled the connection between the sky and the earth, her father still had the strength to suppress them.

And her husband, Koos, even after so many years, was still far from that state.

"Phoebe... you have to understand that if you want to take this step, strength itself is not what's important."

"The stars and darkness, these are the only two areas where my duties match my own and can support me moving forward."

"But the latter is not something I can imagine, and the former... you should understand."

Shaking his head slightly, Koos did not continue.

However, standing next to him, Phoebe didn't want to understand.

"That's not a reason, Koos. You can't do it now, so you just wait here and wait for fate to favor you?"

"Have you ever thought about doing something, doing something you can do, instead of just standing here and doing nothing!"

The voice became louder and louder, and Phoebe tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.

But looking at Koos who remained unmoved, the goddess just felt powerless.

Don’t you have any idea of ​​moving forward? If the purpose of living is to exist forever in a cold place, then what is the difference between this and death?
"...Koos, listen to me, you are not without a chance." Taking a deep breath, Phoebe suddenly hugged her husband from behind.

She hadn't done this for a long time. Ever since the first quarrel she couldn't remember when, Phoebe had been tired of Koos's boredom.

No interest, no enjoyment.

He has no ambition and is unwilling to even use what he already has.

She didn't know that this was because the chasm of the great divine power was too difficult, so Koos gave up all his thoughts.

Or maybe he was such a person, but it took her ten thousand years to see it clearly.

But Fubai didn't want to wait, especially now, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If she missed it today, she would probably only feel regret and remorse every time she thought about it.

"Coeus, listen to me."

"You told me before that with the changes in the human world and the spread of the bloodline of the God King, you gradually saw some of Zeus's secrets."

"The kingship in the world may be related to the reason why he achieved great divine power. The greater his authority, perhaps the stronger he is."

"You told me this, I believe you won't lie to me, right?"

"..."

Koeus remained silent and did not refute.

Three generations of God Kings, they all eventually crossed this insurmountable barrier.

No one is not curious about the secret, even he is no exception.

But Koos would not take the initiative to do anything. He just observed the world quietly, and speculation came from this.

These speculations were both his conjectures and his excuse for hoping that Fubai would give up the entanglement.

The path of the God-King may not be replicable; it is unique to them.

No matter what the other party wants to do, it is impossible to succeed.

"Okay, since you admit it, then continue to listen to me."

He hugged her tighter, and there seemed to be flames dancing in Fubai's eyes.

"You know, I often go to the human world to hang out with the gods."

"And recently in the mortal world, a big thing happened."

"The Olympian God Court is divided into two factions. They are fighting each other, but the God King turns a blind eye to it."

"Today, the arrival of the God of West Wind brought a piece of news... He told me that the mortals from Silver Moon City were causing trouble in the God's Court, and we were the reinforcements he wanted to invite."

The tone became higher and higher, and Phoebe's voice became sharper.

"Rescue troops - how ridiculous."

"It's a joke that the King of the Gods needs our help to deal with a mortal."

"But Coeus, do you think Zeus is a joke?"

No one thought Zeus was a joke, not even his enemies.

However, the God of Lightless Celestial Bodies still did not speak. He really wanted to know how Phoebe came up with all these thoughts and what she wanted to say.

"If your guess is correct, Koos, then let me guess why the God King did this."

"The reason a great power would do this is either to increase its power or to defeat another great power."

"Then is there a possibility that these two things can actually be equal to one thing in the body of the God King?"

The voice fell back, even in his own place, Fu Bai subconsciously lowered his voice a little

If Coeus's conjecture is true, then perhaps Zeus's act of defeating the primordial gods itself can increase his power.

"So Phoebe, what do you want to say?"

"What does Zeus want to do have to do with me?"

His tone remained calm, like a tall iron tower.

Although Phoebe's speculation was so shocking, Koeus' attitude remained calm.

"I'm saying... if this is true, then the first enemy of the God King might be the tentacles of the spirit world in the human world."

"His second one may be eternal night and darkness."

"A king who does not want to rule everything is definitely not a qualified king. Coeus, do you think Zeus can succeed?"

Without waiting for a response, Fubai gave his answer.

"I don't know, but I believe he can. After all, our daughter gave birth to his offspring."

"And if he really succeeds, then as a qualified king, what will Zeus do when he looks at the primitive gods who he can only defeat but cannot really do anything about?"

"Koos, you can't unify the starry sky because the God King wants to too."

"But no one has ever stipulated that the symbol that supports the power of the Lord of Darkness...cannot allow two great beings to dominate the rise and fall of the world together."

"You told me yourself that the source power of the world is still rising, and the true darkness is no exception."

"..."

In silence, Koos admitted that Phoebe's words did make his heart beat for a moment.

Yes, it is theoretically possible.

A complete symbol can only support one greatness, but if the power of a symbol is too great, it is not impossible to continue to divide it.

Gaia, as the original [material] entity, is great. Now only the earth remains the same, but she is no longer as good as before.

Now that the [Darkness] can create the Lord of Darkness who is by no means a weakling among the great divine powers, if there is a way to separate him, would that be possible?

Koeus didn't know, for he knew too little about the great divine power.

This may be possible, or it may just be his delusion, but it is indeed an idea.

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, Koos felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

The starry sky is so cold, especially the lightless celestial bodies.

But as the god of the lightless celestial body, he still felt the cold.

Yes, this is indeed a good idea, and it even made him tempted. But was all that just now really what Fubai came up with?

Koos didn't know, but he knew that even if he lived in seclusion for an era, people would probably not forget his existence.

Zeus didn't forget, Erebus didn't forget, and perhaps others didn't forget either.

An existence that stands at the pinnacle of greatness will never be forgotten no matter how low-key it is.

“…Phoebe, maybe you are right.”

As if convinced, Koeus stretched out his right hand.

As the void fluctuated, an object of strange shape fell into his palm.

"If you want to go, go ahead."

"It's just that your power is not enough, so I will lend you half of the celestial body that I control. With it, you can do everything you want."

"What about you, aren't you coming with me?"

The goddess was surprised, but she was also a little unsatisfied.

However, looking at Koos's back, for the first time in ten thousand years, Phoebe found him much more pleasing to the eye.

"As for me...wait a little longer."

"Wait until... a more appropriate time."

Without looking back, Koos's heavy voice echoed in the temple.

Since some people still remember him, he can't hide away. However, as long as he hasn't done it himself, there is room for maneuver.

As for when it will be his turn to end...

Koeus wasn't sure when the time would be, but it wasn't now.
