Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

"Your Majesty, I heard that in addition to the goddess of the dark moon, there is also a goddess of the magic network who also has similar power. Maybe you can change your cooperation partner?"

As a water nymph brought down from the earth by Hades, Mingta had heard of Hecate. The light of the underworld contains ownerless magic power, so it can be combined with the breath of the underworld to derive undead souls, and further allow a small number of them to awaken to wisdom. It would not be a bad idea to replace the goddess of the magic net.

"I actually thought about it, but"

He didn't say it, but Hades felt that the goddess of the magic network might not be easier to deal with than the owner of Ming Yue.

What's more, Ming Yue's body hangs over the underworld, and he can't avoid her no matter what, it's just sooner or later.

"Forget it, try again, I'll go visit her in person."

Sighing, Hades was also a little helpless.

In anything, the active party loses half the battle before it even starts. He originally wanted to attract the attention of the goddess of the dark moon by gathering the undead, but judging from the situation, it didn't seem to work very well.

Although the God King claimed to share the faith of the world with the gods, Hades knew his brother very well, and he would definitely find a way to get the biggest part. The earth is ruled by Zeus, and Pluto has nothing to do about it.

But underground is different. As long as the goddess of the dark moon is taken care of, the vast underworld will be his one-stop shop as long as the original god does not come out. He can build an empire of the undead here, and he is the supreme king.

"The master of the underground naturally cannot have only a few gods obeying my orders."

"Zeus has humans, and I should also have my own 'human'."

Silently muttering to himself, once upon a time, faced with his father's admonishment before he left, Hades's reply was, 'It is better to strengthen yourself than to covet others.' This is what he thought and did.

He is not really indifferent to fame and fortune, it's just that compared to his stupid brother, Hades can see himself more clearly.

Let the gods on the earth compete for mankind in the future, and wait until he has accumulated enough power underground to think about the future.

Whether to let the undead enter the ground from the entrance to Hades, declare his existence to humans, and further gain the awe of mortals, or go one step further, it all depends on his thoughts.

The premise of all this is to get the incarnation of Ming Yue, let her stand on his side, and at least enhance the power of the moonlight so that intelligent undead can appear on a large scale.

Flying up, Hades headed towards the dark moon hanging high in the sky. He planned to talk to the other party about increasing the intensity of the moonlight first and see what conditions the goddess would propose. If it was not too excessive, then he would agree.

As for the end, he also wants to try to invite the other party to 'rule' the underworld with him.

Hades felt that even if the other party disagreed with the latter, he would probably only reject it verbally, or just laugh at it a few times, and probably not have a more extreme reaction.

At least that's what he thinks now.

······

Hades had been in front of the dark moon for a while.

Unlike the moon on the ground, what cruises in the core of the Bai Dao star fields is a huge celestial body, only slightly smaller than the sun. Even as the world of Chaos expands, the sun and moon are rising and expanding, becoming more and more massive.

But the dark moon in front of me is an illusory light body with a diameter of several hundred meters. And what’s amazing is that even though the underworld in the mythical world is flat, theoretically the Hades moon seen in the center should be different from that at the edges, but in fact, from a visual perspective, the two look the same. size.

This is a manifestation of the power of time and space, and Hades has gradually become aware of this. After all, after releasing his power to no avail, he wanted to directly contact Ming Yue's body, but no matter how close he got, it seemed like he was separated by a layer.

This made him a little annoyed and a little confused. After all, he had never heard that Ming Yue still had the power of time and space.

However, it is said that the goddess of the dark moon is similar to the first generation of gods. She is suspected to have been conceived by the spirit world itself and possesses part of the power of time and space, which seems understandable.

"Huh? Is this Your Highness Lyanna?"

Suddenly, the void in front of him shook, and Hades's spirit was lifted. It had been nearly a hundred years since he came to the underworld, and he was about to see this god who was far away from the underworld.

Just as he guessed, the next moment, a graceful figure slowly emerged.

"Are you Hades?"

With a cold tone and a dark purple dress, Lyanna took a step forward, and the oscillating time and space around her gradually calmed down.

In the face of these external gods, except for the goddess of law, whom she had dealt with shortly after her birth, Lyanna had always been indifferent.

"I am."

Hades nodded, anticipating Lyanna's coldness. Judging from the other party's previous attitude, he didn't seem like an easy god to deal with.

Fortunately, he was also prepared. As long as he could achieve his goal, Pluto didn't care about the other party's attitude.

"Your Highness Lyanna, I take the liberty of visiting you." With a smile on his face, Hades said: "As your neighbor——"

"Just tell me what you have to say."

He interrupted calmly, Lyanna had no intention of listening to his nonsense.

".Then I'll tell you straight."

Pluto was silent for a moment, and then continued:

"That's it. I wonder if you have noticed the undead people worshiping Ming Yue on the land of Hades now?"

"Know."

Nodding, regardless of whether she cared or not, Lyanna was still aware of their existence.

Not only that, she also knew that the undead gave her a very strange name, [Primordial Moon].

Although from the perspective of the ‘moon’, the Hades Moon is indeed the original one, but this nickname still sounds a bit strange.

“That’s good, my trip is related to them.”

Hades was somewhat relieved, and he stretched out his hand to intercept a ray of lavender moonlight.

This power formed by the mixture of spirituality and elements is not as complicated as imagined, but if you want to spread this power throughout the underworld, you can’t do without the role of the corresponding priesthood.

“Since you know them, you should also feel the faith coming from them, right?”

Hades looked more serious and looked at the temple building built on the east side of the Pluto Palace on the distant land.

"Perhaps because of the number, the faith of the dead is insignificant now, but Your Highness Lyanna, as long as you are willing to increase the concentration of the ownerless magic in the light of the underworld moon, perhaps hundreds of years later, the number of dead lives in the underworld will be in the millions-"

"No, the dead born naturally in the underworld environment under the influence of magic power cannot awaken wisdom."

Shaking her head slightly, Lyanna interrupted Hades again, and she couldn't help but despise Hades in her heart.

Sure enough, the gods in the outside world still fit her stereotype of them. Even after studying the dead for so long, she still didn't understand the principle of their birth of wisdom.

"Most of these beings with wisdom are transformed from earthly creatures that died after being brought into the underworld by the gods. The stronger they were in life, the better their qualifications will be after death. As for those born by energy gathering, they are born with defects. Unless they are supplemented by external forces, they will always be low-level beings."

"I don't know what you are doing here if you don't even understand these things."

"So that's it!"

Hades was not angry, but he suddenly realized something.

After all, he has only been born for a hundred years and is not very clear about many things. It is said that the undead have been born in the underworld for thousands of years. There is a reason why only a small number of them have wisdom in such a long time.

He didn't know why in the past, but now he finally understands it.

"Then I am not well prepared."

"But it doesn't matter. I will ask my brother to hand over the bodies of some mortals to the jurisdiction of the underworld after death. For this reason, I can not directly interfere with the beliefs of humans on the ground. He will give me this face."

Immediately thinking of a solution to the problem, Hades looked at Lyanna again.

"Okay then."

Nodding indifferently, Lyanna actually didn't care about the beliefs of the dead. But she thought about it and finally said:

"I can agree to your request and let the Dark Moon release more magical aura, but you also need to promote some beliefs of existence among the dead for me."

"Of course no problem, I don't know which princes, I will arrange it later."

Agreeing at once, this is still within Hades' expectations. But he didn't know before that those intelligent undead were transformed from real lives after death.

But it's true, since they can inherit a little memory of their lives, they must have more or less 'lives before', he actually overlooked this point before.

"Oenonia, Dick and Eirene. They are in charge of spring, summer and autumn, and can also bring new life to all spirits."

Because the memories of living beings must be washed away after death, these three new goddesses have never been known to the outside world. As the first intelligent life born in the spirit world, Lyanna felt that she needed to consider them.

And although those dead souls did not believe in the Lord of the Spirit World, judging from their piety, Lyanna felt that it was just because they did not know the greatness of the Lord. When they know that the Dark Moon is just the manifestation of the Spirit World, they should be different from other creatures in the outside world.

"Okay."

Nodding in agreement, as the god of the desolate underworld, Hades originally prefers the gods with a breath of life in these priesthoods.

If the number of believers of these three gods in the underworld gradually increases in the future, perhaps they will take the initiative to contribute to the growth of the underworld.

The purpose of this trip was successfully achieved. Hades was ready to say goodbye, but he suddenly thought of something.

He looked at the goddess of the Dark Moon again, and the closeness of the priesthood was the same as before.

The underworld has been illuminated by the light of the Dark Moon for thousands of years, and all vitality comes from it. If the other party is willing to sincerely develop the underworld with him, it is definitely more suitable than Demeter.

So Hades hesitated for a while, and finally, he slowly spoke under Lyanna's gaze.

"Lady Lyanna, I don't mean to offend you, but as two beings in the underworld, I think we still have a lot of room for cooperation."

"So?"

Since she only needed to adjust the concentration of magic power and someone would do things for her, Lyanna decided to listen to what the other party wanted to say.

"Well, what I mean is," Hades looked at Lyanna and said sincerely, "Just like the father of heaven and the mother of earth became the first generation of gods and queens, maybe-what do you do?!"

Hades's tone was a little doubtful, and he retreated violently. A wisp of gray light rose from the ground and lingered on its owner.

And in front of Hades, the moon of Hades shone brightly almost instantly. Infinite light was released, and the entire dark underworld was illuminated like daylight.

"What do I do?"

His expression turned cold, and the power of the spirit world was called upon, and the great power that reached the extreme of powerful divine power was vented.

"Arrogant guy."

As a being who manages the spirit world when Ryan is not around, Lyanna can almost be considered the world's largest regional god in addition to her own priesthood. Even if her own power is not strong enough, with the blessing of the spirit world, no existence below the great can defeat her in the underworld.

At this moment, the moonlight turned dark purple and shone on the underworld, and then was firmly blocked by the light gray power. The seemingly not fierce collision caused a violent vibration to spread to the upper and lower sides with this as the center.

"Wait, Your Highness Lyanna, I'm just asking. If you don't have any intention of this, there's no need to use swords."

His expression suddenly changed, but as soon as he touched it, Hades realized something was wrong. He could judge the breath of the underworld moon itself, and it shouldn't be so strong.

And the other party's reaction was also beyond his expectations. Chaos rejected many goddesses who showed goodwill to the male god, but he never responded directly with force.

"Whether it's just asking or premeditated, it doesn't matter."

"I'll teach you a lesson, and you'll know what you shouldn't do in the future."

With a light hum, Lyanna calmed down a little. Apart from the initial shock and anger, she had realized that the other party was just testing her, but that didn't mean she would just laugh it off.

Lian had mentioned before that if you want the other party to do things obediently and not do anything small, then showing strength is the best way.

In this case, let's have a fight, anyway, she didn't like the false gods from the outside world. Before coming here, Ryan said that it didn't matter what she did, which made Lyanna put down her scruples.

Make a decision, and the next moment, a silver mirror appeared in Lyanna's hand. When the lavender light illuminated the earth, with the help of the artifact, the hand of the goddess of the underworld directly bypassed the power of Hades and reached behind him.

In Hades's eyes, the center of the Garden of Truth was accompanied by another huge tremor that spread to all directions. The newly built Hades Palace was destroyed in Lyanna's hands, leaving only a huge pit.

"Good, very good. It seems that Her Highness Lyanna wants to test my level. In this case, let me see your strength."

No longer holding on to luck, Hades was a little angry when he saw his palace being destroyed. With half of the power of the underworld on him, when the incarnation of the underworld went all out, a feeling that was completely different from that on the ground emerged in Hades' heart.

His eyes narrowed, and the gray light was generous. So the next moment, at the center of the underworld, the third tremor spread to all directions, and also attracted the attention of all the gods.

······

On Mount Olympus.

Zeus' wedding banquet has not yet ended. In order to celebrate this important day that will probably not happen again, the God King plans to use three years to commemorate all this.

Of course, he actually has some tentative intentions. Metis' whereabouts are unknown, but he married his sister. The gods of the Olympian pantheon remained silent about this, but it does not mean that the Oceanic pantheon is the same.

Since Oceanus was seriously injured and returned to the open sea, Zeus has not seen him for nearly a hundred years.

Because of faith, the other party will come to the door sooner or later, and the king of gods does not think he can hide it forever. But he does not intend to give in, so before that, he'd better find out the situation of his adoptive father.

Anyway, no matter what, he can't let this Titan ancient god, whose power has reached the peak of powerful power, have faith again. Zeus doesn't know how to achieve greatness, and whether faith can take this step, but the best way to face the unknown is not to give him a chance.

Thinking of this, the king of gods picked up the wine glass--

"--Bang"

"Well, what happened?"

A sudden shake made the cups in the whole banquet fall down. Zeus frowned, and the other gods also looked puzzled. How could Olympus, which supported half of the sky, shake for no reason?

"It's underground. Are there gods doing it there?"

Bang --

There was another roar, more violent than the last time. This time Zeus found the source of the abnormal movement. It came from under the earth. It was definitely caused by the gods, because he could clearly see that this shaking was quickly stopped by the power of the world far away from Olympus.

Undoubtedly, only the vibration caused by divine power would be like this. When it spread to the earth, it had the most obvious impact only in Olympus, which was not suppressed.

"Where is Hades?"

Zeus asked Iris, the goddess of rainbow, not far away. He suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have seen this brother, but Zeus would not admit it. Even he had forgotten about it.

"Your Majesty, since His Majesty the King of Hell went to the underworld, the banquets of the gods in the world rarely invited him. We thought you would not invite him this time-"

He didn't finish, but Zeus understood what the other party meant. Obviously, like him, Hades was forgotten by the gods because he left the circle of gods and went to the "wild land".

In this case, the turmoil this time was probably related to him. After all, Zeus, who had seen Gaia's action with his own eyes, knew very well that if there were two primitive gods fighting there, Olympus would not just shake twice.

"The underworld?"

After thinking for a while, Zeus stood up from the throne and looked around.

"Everyone."

As the king of gods stood up, the scene became quiet. The gods were all surprised by the shaking of the sacred mountain. Some smart ones had already noticed the source, but everyone wanted to listen to Zeus's thoughts.

"Don't panic. The movement just now probably came from the underworld. My brother is probably doing something big."

With a smile on his face, he counted the entire underworld. The only two people who might fight Hades were Styx, the River of Oath, whom he had only seen twice, and the goddess of the underworld moon, whom he had only seen once.

Zeus vaguely remembered that the goddess he saw in the spirit world was the incarnation of the underworld moon. Now, he just hoped that the one fighting Hades was not the River of Oath.

I forgot that Zeus recognized Lyanna before, so I modified the expression, but it did not affect the plot.
