Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

A few days ago, the prince made the decision to retreat.

So while the others hadn't reacted yet, Antilochus led the crowd out of the battlefield.

There was nothing much to say about the process of retreat. In any case, the fleets of these maritime kingdoms still had a considerable advantage in number.

So after paying a little price, the fleet of the Kingdom of Pylos successfully took the direction decided before.

All the way south, Antilochus was actually a little nervous.

After all, according to the records of the kingdom, the source of their bloodline, the palace of Poseidon, the sea king, was built in the south of the world.

The prince once regretted this, because if he really ran into the cruel sea god head-on on this trip, their end would probably not be very good.

But now, he can only pray that his premonition is not wrong.

"According to the direction recorded on the sea chart, it seems that we are close to the uninhabited islands in the southeast of the world."

"It is said that the natural environment here is very superior, and even most places are much better than Pylos."

"It is just because of the special wonders here that even the pagans in Silver Moon City are unwilling to get close to here, let alone us believers of the sea god."

By the moonlight, Antilochus unfolded the map in front of him and observed the position of the stars to confirm the location.

In today's world, the west of the wreckage of Mount Odysseus is still a wilderness for humans.

And in the places where humans live and multiply, the closer to the southeast, the better the climate and environment.

Just in this case, the countless islands in the southeast sea of ​​the world have never been visited.

Because there, there are always some strange events that even the gods cannot understand.

The mortals who migrated there the day before disappeared the next day without any trace.

Even if the gods explored it personally, they could not find any trace.

"Go around here, go to the South China Sea, and then go back in a circle..."

Mumbling to himself, confirming his itinerary again, the prince nodded slightly and prepared to go back to rest.

It was already late, and the bright moon shone on the sea.

Antilochus turned around and prepared to ask the guards on duty in the distance to put away the sea chart.

But at this moment, the prince's face suddenly changed.

In an instant, his originally rosy cheeks turned pale.

Weak all over, Antilochus half-knelt on the deck. For some reason, a huge palpitation surged into his heart.

At this moment, the prince felt that his blood seemed to be boiling and his soul was also mourning.

And before the guards on duty around him could react, the next moment, an endless pressure came from afar.

Thunders roared and dark clouds covered the sky.

At the end of the night sky, the sea and the sky seemed to be connected together, and a huge lightning column separated the two from the middle.

The world seemed to be coming to an end at this moment, and this tiny fleet was the only one left in the world.

"What is this...?"

"My divine blood... it... ah——"

His pale face turned blood red again in an instant, as if the blood vessels were about to burst.

Antilochus used up his last bit of strength and forcibly climbed to the edge of the deck.

Looking into the distance, the magnificent scene that seemed to be the end of the world, an intuition surged into the prince's heart.

The source of his bloodline, the Lord of the Sea canonized by the Olympus God Court, the Sea Emperor who shook the earth left this world.

And from this moment on, all the descendants of the gods who inherited his bloodline, their descendants' divine blood will become thinner at a speed of thousands of times, with only a very few atavists being exceptions.

In this era, such a thing is simply a devastating result for a kingdom.

This indicates that the once powerful maritime kingdom of Pylos may become the dust of history.

Even in the past, Antilochus had publicly stated more than once that humans should not rely solely on the power of divine blood.

But the change he envisioned was definitely not to completely abandon everything like this and usher in such a huge change without any preparation.

However, he could not change anything because the fact had already happened.

For a moment, the prince lost his voice.

Leaning on the side of the ship, Antilochus stared blankly at the distant sky.

Is this his premonition before, that fate brought him here to witness the cause of the demise of his kingdom, and to mock his military power?

But no matter how unwilling and desperate he was, facing this disaster that even immortal gods could not escape, what could he do?

"...Human, are you...the descendant of Poseidon?"

"——Who?!"

With his heart sinking to the bottom, Antilochus felt that he was no different from this fleet, just an insignificant embellishment in the boundless sea.

But at this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly came into the prince's heart.

He subconsciously shouted, but Antilochus immediately realized that no one was talking to him.

All of this was information directly transmitted to his mind.

"It seems that... your bloodline power is not strong, but I can't find a better target among the nearby humans."

The voice sounded again, and this time, before the prince responded, the sea water next to the ship began to roll and separate in front of him.

The next moment, a special water flow jumped out of it and circled around Antilochus several times.

It seemed to have confirmed something in the end, and after completing it, it finally stopped in front of the prince.

The waves vibrated, and the sea water disappeared bit by bit.

After a while, only the luster of metal remained on the deck.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Antilochus widened his eyes in disbelief.

This thing that only existed in legends and statues actually came to him.

"Are you... [Trident of the Sea King]?"

"Impossible, even in the legends about the gods of Olympus, only the goddess Athena gave the symbol of [victory], the artifact [Spear of Walker] wisdom with her supreme divine power."

"From then on, this powerful artifact even responded to his believers on behalf of the goddess, and the world also called her 'Goddess of Victory Nikki'... In addition, even the artifact [Thunder] of the King of Gods did not have its own thoughts!"

Questioning loudly, the prince was actually venting his ups and downs.

The source of the blood suddenly disappeared, and a world-destroying war broke out at the end of the sea.

And he, an ordinary prince, suddenly had a trident falling from the sky.

Antilochus couldn't accept it for a while... However, the artifact in front of him, which faintly exuded a powerful pressure, did not give him time to calm down.

The divine light flashed, and the prince's weak struggle was useless. He was immediately engulfed by the power of the trident.

And behind him, those guards who were on duty on the deck before had already fainted under the pressure of the sky.

"Descendant of Poseidon, you are right. I should not have wisdom. Even he and I think so."

"He has always treated me as an object, and I have never had any thoughts - even if he will use the faith of marine creatures to wash me, I will only have a little more spirituality."

"Until today, he threw me out with his last strength and imprinted the secret he discovered at the last moment on me, and I was still just a dead object."

"But at the moment when he disappeared in the world, I seemed to break free of some shackles and began to understand what "I" meant."

"So I didn't follow his power to the place where he had the most believers, but came to your side."

It seemed that he was also confused, and the message from the trident was full of confusion.

But it still tried its best to explain its intentions, and did not despise the mortal in front of it because of the difference in power.

"I can't go there. Maybe it's because I have wisdom. I seem to have figured out a lot of things all of a sudden."

"The sea has lost its original owner, so it must have a new owner."

"And no matter who it is, he must want to get me, the weapon of the previous master of the sea, and the divine authority I represent."

"So I have to hide... but in the end, I'm just a weapon."

"I don't know what the [Spear of Walker] you are talking about is like, but at least I don't want to try to be a god."

"..."

Wrapped in the power of the trident, Antilochus was shocked and speechless.

Such a fantasy thing would actually happen to him.

After a while, the prince calmed down.

He stopped struggling and just asked respectfully:

"I understand, then, respectful... Your Highness, how should I address you, will I have a chance to return to the Kingdom of Pylos later?"

"Also... I wonder if there is anything I can do for you that made you find me?"

"I don't know what I should address you, just whatever you want, or just treat me as 'Poseidon'."

"As for returning to your kingdom... that is indeed where he wanted to send me with his last strength."

"But he was probably on the verge of despair at the time, so he didn't even notice it."

"At that time, his uncontrolled and restless power had already been released, and the first to be affected was the kingdom that believed in him."

"Today's Pylos has probably been destroyed by storms, earthquakes and floods... Even if there are still survivors, there are definitely not many."

The prince's face changed again, but the trident obviously couldn't understand his mood.

It just spun in the air for a while, and then gave its true purpose.

"As for what I want you to do, it is to find a safe place where other gods will not find you."

"You will reproduce safely there, and rebuild a human kingdom bit by bit, and finally, at the end of everything, let your kingdom pray to me."

"Although my wisdom is not only born out of faith, I still need it."

"And I don't want to stay outside just to avoid the search of other sea gods and gods."

Slowly digesting the sudden information, Antilochus had no time to grieve for the loss of his country, and was shocked by the content that followed.

So from now on, he, a prince who was supposed to inherit the kingdom, will embark on the path of "founding the country", carrying the weapons of the bloodline ancestor, and surviving under the pursuit of the gods and gods?

"... Your Highness, you may think too highly of me."

With a wry smile, the prince said respectfully:

"With my ability, I can't find a safe place to build my own country and avoid the pursuit of the gods."

"Even if Perseus were alive, he probably couldn't do this. This is an impossible task."

"Well, is that so... But it doesn't matter. I didn't expect you to find the place."

"In fact, descendant of Poseidon, do you remember what I said before, the secret he discovered and engraved on me at the last moment?"

The trident swayed in the air, its opinion was a stable communicator.

And then, the prince felt that the power exerted on him seemed to be a little heavier.

"You mean..."

"The secret he discovered is the place that meets all the above requirements."

"Even if he is a natural sea god and a monarch destined to rule the sea, he still discovered the secret hidden in the sea when he was most desperate and desperate."

"Except for him, even the Lord of the Gods will never find it."

"But I haven't been there yet, so this time, I want to take you with me."

"After all, I am just a weapon, and you are the real living being."

Hearing this, Antilochus finally knew what the power that had been entangled with him was for.

This is not the artifact defending itself, on the contrary, he has no right to let the other party defend himself.

[Sea King Trident] is simply preparing to take him to a place, and his speed is too slow, so it is just preparing to take him along.

"Your Highness, I..."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

"The fight over there is about to end. If the God King finds me, you will be in danger."

"Poseidon has always hated him, so I can't work for him... Right now, only there is safe."

Not wanting to say more, the divine light condensed.

Enveloping Antilochus, the trident began to sense the mark left by Poseidon on itself.

Regarding that secret, even Poseidon only detected a trace of it by relying on his authority and destiny at the moment of "fighting" with the mysterious great man, and there is no other information.

If you must say that you know something about that place, it may be a name.

After all, for many powerful and ancient things in this world, they all have the ability of "seeing is knowing".

Even [Sea King Trident] itself can let a life that sees itself for the first time directly "know" its name.

"Vanaheim, the residence of the Vanir gods..."

"It's really strange, when did the 'Vanir gods' appear in this world?"

Somewhat puzzled, but the Trident didn't think much about it.

After all, he is just a weapon.

What's so strange about a weapon not knowing something.
