Chapter 1: The Nine Instruments of Celestial Phenomena (3900 words)

Olympus –

In the mysterious hall, Jose stared directly at Zeus, the god of all gods, and his eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion.

"Here...... What the hell is it? What do you want to do to me?"

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Jose. Before answering your question, let me first tell you about the development process of our Titans in the history of 5,000 years of world civilization......"

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, the lobby fell into a dark silence again.

Jose was shocked.

Don't he's trying to sneak up on me again while I'm not looking......

was full of suspicion, and a rectangular towering light appeared in the dark space between him and Zeus. Suddenly, its glowing white light brought a faint and limited light to the vast halls.

Zeus began to open his mouth to speak.

With each of his statements, the silver-white screen between him and Jose constantly shifts to deduce the images of each activity, each of which is lifelike.

José's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the images on the light screen, and he felt as if he was watching a glasses-free 3D movie in a theater.

"In ancient times, the earliest universe was still in a state of chaos. Later, a man and a woman appeared in the galaxy, they were born with magical powers, the male was called Ouranos, and the female was named Gaia. The two of them work together and soon make their home on a planet they call "Earth". They not only created the sun, moon and stars for the universe, but also created many mountains and rivers for the earth, animals and plants that they could use as their food. Later, they multiplied and had a large tribe of people, which they named the 'Titans', which means 'great and great'. After a long time, the Titans were ruled by the third generation leader, I, Zeus. Perhaps because I was so lonely, I took the advice of some gods and allowed them to use their divine powers to create another form of life, 'humans'. Unlike the Titans, humans do not have the magical power to pick up stars, but they possess unparalleled intelligence. In the beginning, they bowed down to the gods who created them, treated us with respect, prayed daily, and divided the annual calendar into festivals of different sizes, each of which held rituals and sacrificed to us. In this way, the Protoss and the human race have lived in harmony with each other for many years......"

"I probably know all of this, it's mentioned in the Bible and in the books of Greek mythology! Did everything change when the hero Prometheus stole your fire?"

José stared at the moving stereoscopic image in front of him and interrupted Zeus's statement.

Zeus smiled nonchalantly:

"Hehe, young man, you're so anxious...... Humans are the species that we have given life. In order to have a certain restraining effect, when I created you, I instructed the creator Maya, not to allow you to have the use of fire, in addition to not giving you the same divine power as us. You can only live a barbaric life of drinking blood all day long with a grateful and pious heart for us!"

Zeus paused deliberately and looked with interest at the unconvinced expression on Jose's face at this time.

Then, clearing his throat, he went on to state:

"Until one day, Prometheus, one of your wise men, gained the trust of the sun god Polo by deception and stole his heavenly fire from the human world. So far, your wisdom and civilization have grown stronger and stronger faster than we can imagine! Your wisdom eventually makes you more and more selfish and arrogant, and you are no longer grateful to God, and you are no longer pious to us! Not only that, but you also use your inventions and wisdom for wars and plunders between nations, and the excessive material civilization eventually pollutes your original pure hearts. You have become greedy, willful, brutal, destroying all the time, hurting each other and destroying your own living space!"

At this point, Zeus ceased to speak completely, and the image on the screen between him and Jose stopped moving.

"You're too arbitrary to say that, aren't you......"

José looked at the still, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart. The freeze-frame picture presents a bloody massacre.

"You are telling me these things now, with the intention of ...... What to do?"

José looked ashamed, pondered for a few seconds, and then mustered up the courage to ask Zeus. The moment he closed his lips, a cold sweat suddenly slipped down his forehead.

Zeus smiled disdainfully, and then said:

"A thousand years ago, we Titans fell, and we surrendered the world to you filthy and shameless rulers......"

"It's too much—"

Jose couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily stretched out his hand and pointed at Zeus and shouted:

"Even if you are gods, you are not qualified to sarcastically mock us humans! Why do you draw conclusions that we humans are dirty and shameless? The emergence of negative phenomena is inevitable when any civilization develops to a certain height, but if this civilization is still in the stage of being able to rise, it is beneficial to the development of the world!"

The image screen collapsed and shattered, and the powder crumbs that turned into glitter hung in the air and swirled around before disappearing.

The lights in the lobby came on on their own again.

Zeus stopped talking casually and stood quietly opposite Jose.

Without the barrier, the vision of the two of them became clear and open, and they could clearly see each other's faces, as well as any subtle changes in expression on their faces.

"Hmph, aren't you convinced? Are you not greedy enough, dirty and shameless enough?"

Zeus stared at Jose with a sharp gaze, without a trace of expression on his face. Standing for a moment, he slowly asked.

"Of course not!"

José refused to back down, and without thinking about it, he responded in one bite, and then squinted at Zeus with angry eyes.

The atmosphere became tense and eerie at this moment.

"Jose...... Do you know what this place is?"

After a long exchange of eyes, Zeus was the first to break the silence, and his tone sounded extremely calm.

"I don't know ......"

José replied, not letting his guard down in the slightest.

"This place has been known as the 'Nine Instruments of the Celestial Phenomena' since ancient times, and is the common masterpiece of Maya, the intelligent and dexterous creator god, and Hevetos, the god of metalwork. In the god generation, while enjoying the worship of human beings, the gods will give human beings an oracle of blessings in return, bless them with a rich harvest every year, and they will have no worries about food and clothing. And the way we can predict and use it to change the weather and resist disasters is to use our power to control the instruments suspended here in this 'Nine Instruments of Celestial Phenomena'. I'm sure you've noticed these nine solitary spheres, right? See, what do they look like?"

At this point, Zeus slowly raised his arm, and the palm-up posture was clearly giving Jose some kind of cue.

"It turns out that these spheres that look like astronomical instruments are really the eight planets and the sun!"

Jose looked up and looked carefully at the nine orbs that were moving at a constant and slow speed, and sighed.

Needless to say, José could see that just above the many spheres, the unchanging, large, red, glowing sphere that radiated a bright, warm glow was the sun.

The blue sphere, which orbits the sun in a fixed trajectory and rotates itself, represents the earth with uneven markings and criss-crossed latitudes and longitudes.

The other seven spheres are not difficult to distinguish from Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune according to their color and size.

At this moment, Jose began to have a sincere admiration for the two gods mentioned by Zeus just now.

He admired the exquisite craftsmanship of the two of them, who were able to make such a magical and rare object.

Looking up again, Jose's face was full of envy.

With a certain amount of force, the meteorological environment can be changed......

Suddenly, as if being counterattacked by a cold snap, Jose's expression condensed in an instant.

Can change the weather ...... Can change the weather ......

A new era of change has arrived......

At this time, Zeus's words frequently echoed in Jose's head, like a long, piercing alarm bell.

Indeed, there are two sides to everything. This instrument can help humans, so can it...... Destroying humanity......

Jose slowly turned his head back into position, his eyes staring at Zeus in fear. At this moment, his face was pale, and his entire cheeks were covered in cold sweat.

On the other side, Zeus laughed silently, his expression condescending.

Judging by the subversive changes in Jose's expression before and after, Zeus knew that he had guessed everything he wanted to say to him later.

"That's right, after thousands of years, time flies, and now the Titans, who are now ruled by Zeus, have been reincarnated again. Therefore, this time ......"

Zeus looked at Jose intently, his excited eyes radiating a sharp glow like a falcon. After a deliberate pause for two seconds, he said the following words slowly and clearly:

"We want to seize the moment and take back the world that belongs to us from you...... I want to destroy the world against the sky, just as I did when I wiped out the aliens of the dark race, and completely wipe out you vermin-like human beings from the world! I want to use your blood as the foundation to completely cleanse this polluted world!"

"What...... What ......"

José muttered to himself in fear and stepped back. With a shake of his body, he staggered and almost fell.

"What are you afraid of, Mr. Jose, you have the mark of immortality, and even Hades, who is in charge of Hades, won't take you. At the end of the day, you will be the ...... of the world that has been purged and made clean Death, for you is completely non-existent......"

Zeus chased a few steps forward and said with a "haha" smile:

"When the time comes, you will have no compatriots, no partner, just a lonely person, living in loneliness and misery all day long, and you will not feel happy even if you don't die, right? What is this called in human language......

Zeus frowned, placed one index finger on his pout, and pretended to be extremely exaggerated in thought.

"Oh, yes, I remember!' 'I can't die'? right? That's called 'I can't die'!"

"You...... You're not a god! you're the devil—"

Shocked and angry, Jose pointed at the carried away Zeus and cursed.

And the more he is like this, the happier Zeus becomes, and he can't help but hum and laugh heartily.

"Behold, the fate of mankind is coming to an end!

Zeus laughed wildly, raised his head and raised his arms to greet the celestial Jiuyi's suspended artifact, his expression yearning.

Amidst the laughter, there was a roar in the hall, and then the ground under his feet shook violently.

José was unable to stand still and fell to his knees completely.

What's going on, was there an earthquake?

Jose was shocked. At the same time, he felt that the temperature was rising infinitely, and the air pressure was decreasing, making it more and more difficult for José to breathe. He gasped profusely, and the steaming sweat quickly soaked the shaking ground.

Zeus and Hermes had somehow suspended their bodies in the air, and they sneered at Jose, who was embarrassed.

When Jose looked at the air angrily and helplessly, he was surprised to find that the balls that were also floating in the air were also quietly changing.

At this moment, their trajectory has all changed, and they are moving in the opposite direction to the previous trajectory, faster than expected.

And in this change, the blue sphere that represents the earth is getting closer to the "sun".

José was so shaken by the scorching light of the "sun" that he couldn't open his eyes. He persevered and blinked desperately.

In the blurred vision, the "sun" completely turned into a scorching fireball, and the "earth" burned as it approached its godly city.

"No—"

Jose couldn't help but let out a cry of fear.

Could it be that Zeus has already done something to all mankind......

As soon as he thought this, the fire suddenly burst into the sky, and Jose was surrounded by raging flames.

He resisted, shouting angrily into the air:

"Zeus, what have you done! What the hell have you done—"

The ground cracked beneath his feet. Jose stepped on one of the rifts and fell downwards along with the many surface rifts.

Bottomless below is tumbling red-hot lava.

"Ahh

Looking at the bubbling liquid, José shouted again as he fell......
