Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

In the scorching core of the sun, Helios's face changed.

This is a space of light and heat. It is also the place where he was imprisoned in his childhood and where his father, the Titan Hyperion, reorganized and cultivated after his body collapsed.

The power of the sun is most concentrated here, and everything that does not belong to it will be excluded. But at this moment, it did not bring any sense of closeness to Helios. Instead, there were strands of red mist penetrating from the outside to the inside.

Yes, it was from the outside to the inside, not from Helios himself-in fact, although he got this branch of unknown origin from Gaia's hands, but the power was very terrifying, Helios did not really use it at first.

No one would easily absorb this kind of power that is unknown and corrosive. What's more important is that Helios can feel that there is a limit to his ability to bear this kind of power.

He is not Typhon, who was planted with the origin by the mother tree when he was just born, so that he can bear the power enough to defeat the God King; he is not the Earth Mother, even if the deficit is serious, but her "container" for carrying power is still vast and boundless.

Even if he accepts the power of the mother tree, Helios may be able to become one of the few strongest people under the greatness, but he still cannot have the authority to match Zeus. In this case, whether he accepts this external force seems not so critical.

If he cannot compete, or at least makes the God King dare not act rashly, then his acceptance of this power will do more harm than good. If there is always something that deprives him of the right to operate the sun, the God King is at least better than an unknown thing.

"... But I am still greedy... Gaia's promise... When her offspring attack the God Mountain... The throne of the God King..."

The red mist around became thicker and thicker, and even made Helios's face a little unclear.

He still had a lot of ideas. Since he was reluctant to give up Gaia's promise and didn't want the unknown power to pollute the divine body, the second generation of the sun god thought of a very feasible alternative.

As the master of the sun, whether it was his father or himself, the most powerful state was always to directly drive the sun itself. So faced with a dilemma, Helios made a decision that made him regret it.

He directly inserted the crystal clear branch that was as dazzling as a red crystal into the surface of the sun, facing the direction of the starry sky with its back to the earth.

Compared with him, the power that the sun itself can bear is much higher, and for the laws of the world, the importance of the sun is undoubtedly much higher than him. If there is something wrong with this gift that may contain poison, the rules of the world will not turn a blind eye to it.

Helios's idea is very good, and the facts have proved his success. Although the reddish halo gradually enveloped the surface of the celestial body as the branches of the mother tree took root and sprouted, the core of the sun was not affected.

The power of the sun is getting stronger day by day, but its essence remains pure... until today. The protection originally formed by the power of the world suddenly trembled for some reason, and large and small "holes" appeared on it. The power of the mother tree directly invaded this space and formed the branch in front of Helios.

If Chaos's sun god had only one from beginning to end, Helios would still have a fighting force. After all, this was just a small amount of power released by the outer god through the seal. But there is no if in reality. In terms of the fit with the sun, he is still not as good as his father.

Shasha——

The branches swayed in the "wind" and stretched out in the core of the sun that flowed like liquid. With the sound of the leaves, some vague thoughts also came into Helios' heart.

"..."

The face was not very good. Although the expression was not very clear, Helios still easily understood what the outer god wanted to say.

Coercion and inducement, there is nothing strange about this, but the key to the problem is that the knife that the other party "coerced" was handed over by himself.

The sun being polluted by the power of the Outer Gods may not be a big deal for the Chaos world. Although some of the characteristics of the great mother tree have indeed attracted some attention from the world, given that it is far from taking that half step, as the assimilation progresses, the world's attention is actually reduced, but the aspect of His order is very different.

Helios's behavior did not cause too serious consequences before, so it may not be a problem. But now the core of the sun has been invaded. Although this is actually the result of the turbulence of the world's power, it is ultimately to blame him for letting the wolf into the house.

There is almost no need to think that when this disaster is over, Helios will inevitably be punished by the world - perhaps the God King will "feel the heaven and man" and then happily deprive him of his control over the sun, and this is based on the premise that the pollution of the sun is not too serious.

Otherwise, once the sun is completely controlled by the Outer Gods, then he, the God of the Sun, will have no value in existence, and it is not surprising to throw him directly into the abyss.

"But what good is it for me to stand on your side?"

With a twitch on his cheek, Helios asked as calmly as possible. And the next moment, as the leaves fluttered, a piece of history appeared before him.

Perhaps because of the erosion of the sun, the mother tree also took the opportunity to peek into some of the things that had happened in the past, which were images of Hyperion being imprisoned here.

Helios immediately understood what the other party wanted to express. Once the sun was corroded, the oppression of the world would follow, and it would be even more serious than Typhon. After all, it was originally part of the starry sky and could not be equated with the new demons.

But just like the ancient sun god who was imprisoned and sealed for half an era had a chance to escape, Helios would also have a chance in the future - and if he rejected the mother tree and was to be punished by the king of gods, then he would really have no hope.

"..."

"The sun..."

After a long silence, Helios thought of his two sisters at this moment.

Compared with him, the moon goddess Selene and the dawn goddess Eos were pitifully weak, and they had not even entered the realm of medium divine power. But because of these, they had never faced the difficulties that Helios had to face.

This world is like this, the strong control their destiny, and the weak go with the flow, but no one will pay much attention to them. Only people like him who are strong but not strong enough will face real dangers and easily become the target of all parties.

"...but I have no choice."

Helios stretched out his hand and grasped the branch of the mother tree. In an instant, he seemed to see a world full of vitality. All spirits lived and worked in peace and contentment, and only a giant tree supported the sky.

"It's so beautiful..."

While sighing softly, when Helios used himself as a medium to accept the power of the mother tree, the barrier imposed on the sun in the present world was completely useless. The vast power of the ocean was injected into it, and began to violently erode the location of the sun.

"From the moment I was born, no one gave me the opportunity to choose. Father, Kronos, Zeus, and the world itself."

"In this case, it is reasonable for me to make today's choice, right?"

The voice echoed in the space, and then fell into silence. In this starry sky where time has been accelerated countless times, slow and drastic changes began to occur unwaveringly.

······

The human world.

In a cave under the Corisian Mountains.

The bloody storm of Typhon had just begun and had already descended on all parts of the world.

Unlike Typhon in the original trajectory, it no longer needs a sea monster named Echidna to give birth to offspring after receiving the power of the mother tree. Its own flesh and limbs can turn into demons.

In the place where it fought with Zeus before, countless monsters stood up and slaughtered in all directions.

However, it is worth mentioning that Typhon's power is now composed of two parts, and more than half of them have characteristics that are obviously different from the Chaos world, so the lives born from its flesh and blood are also very different.

Some of them are indeed more in line with the traditional cognition of the Chaos world, but more of them should perhaps be called "evil things".

Like the [Sun Devourer] in the spirit world, these material-side "evil things" may have different powers, but they all uniformly reveal extremely strong immortality, corrosiveness and chaotic thinking.

Unlike the traditional Chaos monsters, they can communicate and exchange, but they are madly destroying everything within sight.

They hate life, and even hate the world, and all the lands that have been infected by their power have left an indelible "corruption mark", and all spirits are forbidden from entering.

Even the surface of the spirit world has been slightly affected, but this sporadic pollution was quickly extinguished.

Of course, whether it is the changes on the earth, the anomalies in the starry sky, or the disappearance of the gods, it is obviously unrelated to Zeus in the Corisian Mountains.

At this moment, the noble God King fell to the ground naked, with bones wrapped in black mist passing through his chest. His limbs fell to pieces around him, looking extremely miserable.

"Tsk, I always encounter something that others can't encounter."

"Odin is like this, Typhon is like this... Why don't my father and grandfather have so many things."

The piercing pain came from all over the body, but Zeus didn't seem to care at all.

He even laughed, as if he was not a prisoner, but still the high and mighty God King.

"... Zephyrus, you are here. I am glad to see you come to see me, but my friend, I am afraid I cannot stand up and talk to you now."

The voice was calm. At a certain moment, in the empty mountain belly, Zeus suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the cave entrance.

There, an abnormal airflow flew into the cave without any concealment. And with just a little identification, Zeus recognized the identity of the visitor.

The God of the West Wind... He actually dared to come to see him. Zeus thought that the gods had already kneeled down and begged for mercy under the might of Typhon, or fled in all directions. It seems that the other party has not lived up to his trust, and is still loyal to him even today.

Well, it seems that the previous generation of the God King is not a good person, otherwise how could such a loyal minister rebel against me... Thinking secretly in his heart, Zeus couldn't help but have some meaning of making fun of the bitterness.

"Your Majesty, you are still so discerning."

The airflow trembled slightly, and then turned into a human form. Zephyrus looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that even though he was seriously injured, the God King could still see through his whereabouts.

However, this also increased his confidence. The God of Wind was a little nervous about coming to rescue Zeus at this time.

In other words, Typhon didn't seem to be able to be the God King... He thought to himself, and his expression didn't change.

"Okay, Zephyrus, now that things have come to this, let's put aside the useless flattery."

He shook his head slightly, but it aggravated the injury on his chest. Zeus grinned and didn't plan to play the flattery game with the God of Wind anymore.

He is not blind, what is "a sharp eye"... Thinking of this, the King of Gods looked at the God of Wind in front of him.

"Since you are here, my friend, I may need you to do me a small favor."

"Help me connect my broken limbs, let me regain some mobility, and then find a determined mortal to help me pull out this bone."

"Mortal?"

The God of the West Wind was a little puzzled, and Zeus continued to explain:

"Yes, mortal."

"Although Typhon is arrogant and crazy, it still has some brains. The power it left behind has been suppressing my divine power, making me unable to save myself-or rather, it is suppressing all external divine power."

"Unless you have the power of the original god, you who have divine power cannot pull out this bone, but perhaps because it was born not long ago, Typhon did not guard against the consciousness of mortals. Ha, this is a monster, they always make mistakes in some places."

The gods overturned in the hands of mortals, which is also a feature of Chaos' world, so it is not surprising that the means left by Typhon have such flaws.

Feeling the black mist lingering on his bones, Zeus warned again:

"Remember, be a mortal with a strong will, otherwise he might be tempted by Typhon's power - even though this demon himself does not intend to tempt anyone."

"Finish this as soon as possible, and when I get out of trouble, Typhon's good days will be over."

Although Zeus still couldn't figure out how to deal with the king of all demons, his words were very confident.

It doesn't matter whether he can beat him or not, but for a god king, he must at least let others think he can beat him.
