Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Click——

Time never stops for anyone. In the whole world, Silver Moon City and the East Sea are just tributaries of fate.

Perhaps the meeting between Hercules and Prometheus will be a turning point, but before that, the center of the world is not there.

The next day, when the goddess of dawn danced in the sky, Olympus was still jubilant.

Under the fortress of the Aigario Mountains, countless figures gathered again.

The world of gods and humans is never the same. When the gods focused their attention on Achilles, the war in the world did not stagnate.

With the arrival of the coalition forces of various countries, a bloody battle was launched here.

At this moment, in the center of the fortress, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes pushed the door in.

He had already visited the owner of this fortress, and in the sense of the world, the king he was loyal to as a "noble".

But only he knew what his purpose was here.

He needed an answer, which could be regarded as solving the doubts in his heart.

"Long time no see, Count Ilos."

"It's been a while since we last met."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Ryan looked up from the table.

Looking at the uninvited guest, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the chair in front of him from the table.

"Welcome to come here to fight for Athens, but why did you come to me?"

"You know very well what I'm doing, and you should know who I am."

He spoke in a deep voice and got straight to the point.

There is no doubt that the god of speech appeared here at this moment.

With a serious face, the middle-aged man sat down and looked directly at Ryan across the table.

"You called Chiron, you asked him to come to me and then involved me in this dispute."

"Anyway, should you give me an explanation?"

Yes, if it weren't for Chiron and Achilles, the god of speech should not have come here at this time.

He had thought of many situations. As Zeus's implicit attitude became clearer, Iapetus knew that he would make a choice after all.

That is why he provided some help to the Centaur.

However, the God of Speech thought very well that it was just some insignificant hints, which should not be a big deal.

But what he never expected was that the human would do such a thing, and he was actually able to do such a thing.

He had a chance to escape, but he chose to make a big fuss in the God Mountain... and as a human, he really fought against the gods to a certain extent.

For a moment, Iapetus didn't know whether he should call him a madman.

Holding a sword, he has the power to rival the main god. Even the God of Speech himself has never seen such a thing.

If he hadn't personally experienced the true power of the great divine power, Iapetus asked himself, I am afraid that if he were to do it, he would inevitably be a little arrogant.

But people who have seen the world are always different from those who have not seen it. It didn't take too long for the God of Speech to guess the "cause and effect".

The sword of the Lord of the Spirit World? In the end, that mortal was worthy of the Lord of Darkness to come out of the underworld and subdue him.

Sure enough, this war in the human world has always been just a superficial phenomenon, and the conflict between the God King and the Primordial God, and the Primordial God and the Primordial God is the real core.

Mother Earth Gaia is Zeus's first enemy, and the Lord of the Spirit World may be the next one. The gods of the human world are just obstacles that are removed along the way.

And the most unfortunate thing is that Iapetus has been cautious for an era, but he just happened to play the role of a pawn at the beginning of this conflict.

"Explanation?"

Coming back to his senses, all kinds of pros and cons flashed through the mind of the God of Speech.

Sitting opposite him, Ryan smiled and asked back.

"What explanation do you mean?

"Did I force you to help Chiron make plans... or did I force Zeus to imprison, torture, and arrest your child?"

"Well... Your Highness Iapetus, these things have nothing to do with me."

"If you want, Chiron is actually completely impossible to see you. ”

“…”

After a brief silence, the God of Speech finally confirmed that the man in front of him had indeed recognized his true identity from the beginning, and not just seen some clues.

However, in comparison, he knew nothing about the other party.

From the first meeting at the competition to now, Iapetus's only impression of Ryan was that the other party seemed to know him very well.

"The explanation I want is very simple, give me a reason, a reason for you to fight against the God King."

"If there is no such reason, then I would rather leave the earth and the sea forever and exile myself to the depths of the starry sky."

"Nothing is eternal, and neither will Zeus."

"When that time comes, I can still come back."

The tone is serious and the face is solemn.

However, in this world, probably only the goddess of lies can tell whether Iapetus is lying or not, and the rest of the people cannot recognize his true thoughts.

But what the God of Speech wants is not difficult. Since he wants a reason to fight Zeus, just give him one.

"Remember before and after Zeus entered the abyss at the Golden Apple Banquet? "

Lian asked with a smile.

"You mean... the abyss?"

His expression changed slightly, and at this moment, Iapetus was a little surprised.

So that's it...it was Tartarus.

The changes in the underworld are not a secret, but no one knows what caused it.

Is it that part of the abyss's thoughts have been activated, or that a forbidden demon like Typhon has been born in it.     But now it seems that the existence in it undoubtedly has wisdom.

He even took action a long time ago and made prior arrangements in the human world.

So, is this a battle between the original gods, the abyss and the spirit master, against the darkness and the king of gods?

The king of gods rules the world, and darkness is involved in the abyss... So it seems that this is really the case.

In this way, although the king of gods has a geographical advantage in the human world, it seems that there is really no other choice for his embarrassing identity.

"Okay, I accept it."

Exhaling a breath, Iapetus finally made a choice.

The power comparison between the original gods is only known to them.

And since Zeus, the king of gods, is unwilling to take direct action in the human world first, perhaps it means that he has lost the blessing of geographical advantage, and he has no confidence in winning at all.

Thinking of this, the god of speech stood up from his seat.

Although the human in front of him did not show strong power, since he could come here on behalf of the great man of the abyss, he was enough to gain his respect.

"Anyway, I have already participated, and it is too late to retreat."

"So I am willing to join you, and as a gift, I will help Athens solve the current difficulties."

"The army outside the city has been wandering for many days, trying to attack the city dozens of times."

"It won't be long before they will launch a real general attack."

"Although the Aigario Mountains have natural barriers, it is difficult for Athens to stop the coalition forces of various countries with its own strength."

"Especially the gods may die at any time, so the top priority is to repel the army outside the city first, and then force the coalition forces to split up."

Nodding secretly, Ryan admitted that Iapetus's idea still made some sense.

The later military strategy says that if there are ten, surround them, if there are five, attack them, if there are twice as many, fight them, if they are enemies, they can be divided, if they are few, they can be defended, and if they are not weak, they can be avoided.

Whether it is a battle between individuals or between countries, there has never been a case of the weak defeating the strong, only the strong bullying the weak.

The war seems to be a war with a huge disparity in numbers, but in fact it is still the case locally.

Even in the mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare of the firearms era, the same is true.

"However, the coalition forces will not retreat easily. They want to achieve their goal in one battle and show their power in front of the gods."

"So, Your Highness Iapetus, what is the plan?"

Although he had other plans, Ryan was still willing to give the God of Speech a chance to perform, rather than using his own methods.

As for the reason... it is related to his recent discovery.

"There is no rush for this. Wait a few more days and I will definitely solve this problem."

Since the decision was made, Iapetus quickly got into the state.

He did not have the slightest reluctance to obey mortals as a god, but was very adaptable.

Seeing that the God of Speech was so confident, Ryan nodded immediately.

"In that case, I will wait for good news."

······

After sending Iapetus away and casually reviewing a few documents again, Ryan turned and came to a closed basement.

After closing the only exit, it became pitch black.

In the darkness, Ryan walked a few steps forward to the center of the basement.

The room was empty, like a closed coffin.

Only the ground was the center, with something vaguely painted on it.

Walking forward slowly, Ryan gently raised his hand, and a ball of fire flashed in his hand.

Puff——

The fire dissipated and illuminated the ground.

Visible to the naked eye, a complex pattern was intertwined and engraved in blood.

It was like thousands of runes were integrated to outline the most ordinary stroke.

They overlapped each other and went back and forth as one.

And what finally appeared in front of him was a tree stump with only a few remnants left.

"... [Kingdom]..."

Reach out and touch it lightly, trying to connect with the incomplete rune.

However, without using any extraordinary power, Ryan's hand just passed through the image in front of him.

He knew why, because as the Lord of Spirituality, he had never really touched the essence of [matter].

And the beginning of [matter] in this world, even to this day, still belongs to her, to the original god bred by Chaos himself.

Even if she has lost all her branches, even if her trunk has been replaced by other things, but no matter what, the final root is still in her body.

As long as the earth is still connected, Chaos's original [matter] will not have a second source.

"Falling from the sky to the earth, and then ascending from the earth... Going back and forth three times, gaining the power above and below."

"Are all the rules in this world so similar in the end?"

Stepping back, Ryan retracted his hand and stopped making unnecessary attempts.

He let Iapetus solve the problem in his own way, and naturally he had his intentions.

This may not be as perfect as his method, and even with other subsequent actions, it may lead to a temporary defeat in the Athenian war, but all this is actually not important.

Whether it is a war among humans or a war among gods.

In the Age of Gods, the world can be very exciting.

But everyone knows that only those who stand at the top can win, and the rest of the followers have the possibility of winning in the end.
