Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

The edge of the dim starry sky was deserted, only the fragments of celestial bodies slid along the inertia, like a star instrument that never stopped.

The closer he got to the edge of the starry sky, the denser the darkness and broken stars became, and the thinner the "thickness" of the space became.

I don't know how far he escaped, until the sense of danger behind him gradually dissipated, Zeferos finally breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Once he encountered danger here, the God of the West Wind could not guarantee that the God King would be able to detect it in time.

"... I didn't expect that the Mother of Light would have such a powerful enemy."

"Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise the existence that could be the enemy of Theia would probably not be something I could deal with at all."

I couldn't help but feel a little scared. In the realm of true gods, Zeferos still had a long way to go.

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

In the final analysis, if it weren't for the balance of the laws of the world, all of these beings might have the possibility of further advancement.

"Huh - it can be regarded as letting me experience the difference in power."

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

Shaking his head slightly, Zephyros exhaled.

It is likely that Theia will not be able to go to the human world, but his mission still needs to continue... But just before he was about to leave, some doubts emerged in the heart of the God of West Wind.

Divine power level 20, this limit under the laws of the world, he has experienced it today.

And according to his own perception, even the Queen of Heaven Hera, in fact, is still different from Theia.

Zephyros didn't know the reason, perhaps it was because the Queen of Heaven's divine power was not so aggressive, or perhaps it was because the faith of thousands of 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 a strong oppression today.

It can be seen that compared with this ancient Titan god, the Queen of Heaven is indeed inferior.

But...

"But what about Her Majesty Athena?"

"One against three, and still has the upper hand, but I have never felt a similar sense of oppression from Her Majesty Athena. Why is that?"

Suspicion flashed through his mind, but Zephyros finally didn't think much about it.

Just like seeing the sword in Achilles' hand, even if it was related to the ancient sun god, the God King was still in charge of the mountain.

Whether Athena was hiding something or not, the power of the God King was the guarantee to sweep everything.

As long as Zeus did not show a decline, as a loyal minister of the God King, Zephyros had nothing to fear.

"Well... Loyalty like me, known to the world."

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

Next, he had two more places to visit.

It was okay to fail once, but he would not fail the trust of His Majesty the God King twice.

No matter coercion or inducement, those who should come must be present.

·······

Compared to the empty return from the Mother of Light, Zephyros's subsequent journey was much smoother.

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

Aether, the God of Skylight, and Hemera, the Goddess of Daylight.

As gods born under the stirring of the power of the original gods, they accepted Zephyros' invitation very happily, but they still needed to make some preparations.

For a while, the West Wind God was a little confused about whether they had really made a decision.

But until he was sent out of the palace where they lived by the Goddess of Daylight, Zephyros still did not question it.

Anyway, he had already made it clear that this was an invitation from the God King, and it would be fine if they refused directly, but if they agreed on the surface and then refused later, it would be beyond their control.

Having completed part of the task, Zephyros did not stop.

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

The last target, Koos, the god of lightless celestial bodies, he lived in seclusion here.

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

"... As I said just now, 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, Your Highness Coeus."

The token containing the breath of Zeus was dragged in his hand. The God of West Wind looked at the departing Phoebe and silently waited for the reply of the Goddess of Light for a while.

As he expected, compared with his wife, Coeus had no intention of interfering with the outside world.

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

Fortunately, there was another... As a person of the same kind, the God of West Wind believed that the Goddess of Light would find a way to persuade her husband.

Even if it didn't work in the end... As long as she was willing to come, it would be enough to get the job done.

...

Tap tap--

Dark columns and colorless reliefs.

Pearls, jades and gems dotted the ancient temple, but they seemed particularly out of place.

Listening to the voice behind him, Koos still stood quietly.

His tall figure was not covered with many clothes, only a thick cloth wrapped around his waist, and his thick muscles were clearly visible.

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

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

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

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

However, Phoebe didn't reply, she just lifted her skirt and walked slowly to her husband's side.

"How do you feel?"

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

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

"Like heaven and earth."

"Or from the abyss to the starry sky."

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

However, standing beside him, Phoebe silently clenched her sleeves.

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

As an existence that had fought with the Father in Heaven, Phoebe understood the pressure very well.

Even if she was backfired by her own priesthood, even if she 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, is still far from that realm.

"Phobe... you have to understand that if you want to take this step, the important thing is never the power itself."

"Stars and darkness, only these two priesthoods that match me can support me to move forward."

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

Shaking his head slightly, Koos did not continue.

However, standing beside him, Phobos did not want to understand.

"This is not a reason, Koos, you can't do it now, so you wait here, waiting for the favor of fate?"

"Have you never thought about doing something, doing what you can, instead of staying here and doing nothing!"

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

But looking at Koos who was still unmoved, the goddess only felt a sense of powerlessness.

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."

Phobe took a deep breath and suddenly hugged her husband from behind.

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

No fun, no enjoyment.

No ambition, not even willing to use what he already had.

She didn't know whether it was because the great divine power was too difficult, so Koos put aside all his thoughts.

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

But Phobes 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 regret every time she thought about it in the future.

"Koos, listen to me."

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

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

"This is what you told me. I believe you will not lie to me, right?"

"..."

Silently, Koos did not refute.

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

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

It's just that Koos will not take the initiative to do anything. He just observes the world quietly, and speculation comes from this.

These speculations are both his conjectures and his excuses for hoping that Phoebe will give up entanglement.

The path of the God King may not be replicable. This is their unique specialness.

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

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

Holding tighter, Phoebe's eyes seemed to be dancing with flames.

"You know, I often go to the mortal world to meet the gods."

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

"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 the West Wind brought a piece of news... He told me that the mortals from Silver Moon City are making trouble in the God Court, and we are the reinforcements he wants to invite."

The tone is getting higher and higher, and Phoebe's voice is getting sharper.

"Reinforcements - how ridiculous."

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

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

No one thinks Zeus is a joke, not even his enemies.

But the God of the Lightless Celestial Body still didn't speak. He really wanted to know how Phoebe thought of all this and what she wanted to say.

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

"A great power is worth doing this for, either to increase its power or to defeat another great power."

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

The voice fell back, even in his own place, Phoebe subconsciously whispered a little

If Koos's guess is true, then perhaps Zeus's act of defeating the original god itself can increase his power.

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

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

The tone was still calm, like a tall iron tower.

Although Phoebe's guess was so shocking, Koos's attitude remained calm. .

"I want to say... if this is true, then the first enemy of the God King may be the tentacles of the spirit world in the human world."

"His second may be eternal night and darkness."

"A king who does not want to rule everything must not be a qualified king. Koos, do you think Zeus can succeed?"

Without waiting for a response, Phoebe 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 sees the primitive gods that he can only defeat but cannot really do anything about?"

"Coos, 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 greats to dominate the ups and downs of the world together."

"You told me in person that the source of the world is still rising, and the real darkness is no exception."

"..."

Silently, Coos admitted that what Phoebe had just said did make his heart beat for a moment.

Yes, this is not impossible in theory.

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

As the original [matter] main body, Gaia is great, and now only the earth is still there, but she is no longer as good as before.

Since the current [darkness] can create the Lord of Darkness who is not a weakling among the great gods, if there is a way to separate him, is it okay?

Koos didn't know, because he knew too little about the great power.

This might be possible, or it might just be his delusion, but it was indeed a way of thinking.

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 was so cold, especially the lightless celestial bodies.

But as the god of the lightless celestial bodies, he still felt the coldness now.

Yes, this is indeed a good idea, and it even made him feel moved. However, were all the things just now really thought of by Phoebe?

Koos didn't know, but he knew that even if he lived in seclusion for an era, the world might not have forgotten his existence.

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

An existence standing at the top of the greatness, no matter how low-key it was, would not be forgotten.

"... Phoebe, maybe you are right."

As if convinced, Koos stretched out his right hand.

As the void fluctuated, a strange-shaped object fell into his palm.

"Since you want to go, then go."

"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, won't you come with me?"

The goddess was surprised, but she was a little dissatisfied.

But looking at Koos's back, for the first time in ten thousand years, Phoebe felt that he was 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 someone still remembers him, he can't hide, but as long as he hasn't done it himself, everything has room for maneuver.

As for when it will be his turn...

Koos is not sure when it will be appropriate, but at least it's not now.
