Chapter 19: Before the Great Change
"After all, you have avenged the revenge of the year. ”
Nyx, the Lord of the Night, saw the Dark Source Stone brought by Adros, and his eyes seemed to smile and sigh, and he sighed inexplicably. Erepos, the Lord of Darkness, was her former husband, but he had turned against her thousands of years ago. Because of this, she and her two children of Erebos, Etheel, the lord of space, and Hermera, the goddess of day, also resented her, but she was helpless.
The last time Erepos conspired with Gaia, the Earth Mother, to ambush Adros, the Nix was also very clear. She also understands that with Adros's personality, there will definitely be after-reports. She had actually expected this result.
"I don't ask anything else, I just hope that you will be able to spare those two children as much as possible in the future. ”
Nyx sighed, and then the canopy of night fell, swaying over the place where Adros had refined the god's throne, blocking out all light.
In this pure night, there is only darkness, just like at the beginning of chaos, when light does not give birth, but only darkness.
"Yes, they will not fall into my hands. ”
Aderos naturally knew which two children Nix was talking about, and he also understood that they would definitely take revenge for the death of the dark lord Erepos.
But Adros didn't care, with the realm and means of the Lord of Space and the Goddess of Day, Adros could know what they were going to do before they even made a move.
Before the autumn wind moves the cicadas, whether it is the number of crape myrtles evolved by Adros in Kyushu, or the astrology pioneered in this domain of the gods, you can almost know the heavens and the earth.
The three goddesses of fate urged fate to be on the side and did not say a word.
······
The majestic Mount Olympus is still the center of the Kaos Domain, and in the palace on this mountain, the king of the whole world lives, Zeus, who is in charge of thunder and lightning.
Not only the god-king Zeus, according to the covenant of the gods, the two previous god-kings, the Lord of Space and the Goddess of Day, and even the Earth Mother Gaia, they all have their own palaces in Mount Olympus.
At this time, in the god-king palace located at the core of the temple, the earth-shattering thunder was constantly splitting and flashing, and the rumbling loud sound made the entire Olympus tremble.
In addition to the thunder, there are also the laws of time and space that are distorted like water curtains, which also shuttle around this palace, and everywhere they go, there is chaos and nothingness.
This palace, for Mount Olympus, has become a forbidden place. In fact, in the past hundred years, there has never been a god in or out. Even Hera, the queen of Olympus, has basically not returned to Olympus for more than 100 years.
At this time, Hera, the queen of the gods, had almost disclosed her identity as the lord of the Star Divine Court Uranus, and took her two daughters, the goddess of childbirth and the goddess of youth, to settle in the starry sky. Even her three gods, the three daughters of Zeus and Themis, the lord of justice, and the three goddesses of time, followed her to the stars.
Similar to Hera, the news that the former queen of the sea became the lord of Neptune in the Star Divine Court and the former queen of Hades became the lord of Pluto has spread throughout the Kaos God Domain in about the past hundred years.
All the gods and humans were waiting for how these three sons of Kronos, the three kings who ruled the Divine Court, the Ocean and the Underworld respectively, would take revenge on the Star Divine Court, but they never saw it.
Even if the Lord of the Stars did not appear for a hundred years, the Star Divine Court was still immovable.
Zeus and Poseidon seem to have important things to do over the years, and they have never appeared in front of the gods, but Hades, the king of Hades, haunts the world from time to time, but he has been fighting with Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the lord of the Southern Dipper of the Star Court, and at this time he began to fall behind.
To this day, although the mortal beings of Kaos are not clear, those senior gods basically know the powerful strength of the Star Divine Court.
The Lord of the Stars, the Lord of the South Dipper and the Lord of the North Dipper, the three goddesses of fate, plus the Lord of the Night who is basically on the side of the Star Divine Court. Their high-end combat power no longer seems to be under the Olympus Divine Court. And at the level of the main god, the Olympus Divine Court, it cannot be compared with the Star Divine Court, it has almost been hollowed out by the Star Divine Court.
Back on Mount Olympus, the gods looked at the temple of Zeus, the god-king, from afar and did not dare to approach. The terrifying divine power formed by the combination of thunder and time and space made them feel terrified when they looked at it.
Ethel, the lord of space, and Hemera, the goddess of the day, stand closest to the temple and protect the god-king in the temple. At this time, their faces, without exception, were full of anger.
"Adros, I really regret letting him grow up to this point. ”
The Space Lord's tone was full of regret, and when Adros first went to the stars, he thought he had a chance to get rid of the other party.
"Forget it, Ethel, haven't you noticed it yet? He is not the son of Zeus, but the reincarnation of a foreign god, not to mention you and me, when the Earth Mother Gaia tried to get rid of him, she did not succeed. ”
Hermela, the goddess of the day, saw it and comforted her brother and husband.
"Hemera, don't you want to avenge your father?"
The Lord of Space looked at his wife with dissatisfaction, how could he just forget about Adros's enemy.
Hemera sighed: "Gaia, the mother of the earth, has left her hand, and the Lord of the Stars has not exhausted it, although the father has lost his divinity, but no matter what, the soul origin has been preserved. I heard that there is a law called reincarnation in the world, and I want to help God the Father reincarnate. ”
"No way, I must seek revenge on them. ”
Etel, the Lord of Space, spoke in a resolute and resentful tone, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Revenge? you think it's too simple, what can we take revenge, with our strength, can we still be enemies of Mother Earth and the Lord of the Stars? Not to mention us, even if the three god kings in front of us succeed in breaking through, I don't think they will necessarily be their opponents. ”
Ethel waved his hand, not wanting to listen to Hemera's persuasion anymore, and said lightly: "There will always be a chance." “
He also knew that in the future, when the Divine Domain was in battle, he felt that he would always seize the opportunity.
······
"The divine position has been refined a long time ago, and I have been with you for so long, you should leave. ”
In the Land of the Polar Night, Nix, the Lord of the Night, looked at Adros with an extremely calm look.
A few years ago, after the Dark Mother Divine Throne that they had jointly refined was refined, Adros just asked the three goddesses of fate to take it away, and then said that he had something important to discuss with him.
As a result, the so-called important matter was to pull her around the Polar Night Country, and perform some postures and actions that were not ashamed and unashamed.
"What's the hurry, let's take a look here together, what kind of monster can these three god kings launch together?"
Adros changed the position of the Lord of the Night beneath him, but he was in no hurry to leave. In fact, even if he leaves, he has nothing to do, so it is better to stay in this land of the polar night and watch the changes in the domain of the gods.
Perhaps the biggest change in the Kaos God Domain is the terrifying thunder and space-time divine power on Olympus. In fact, he had known for a long time that this was the path of the gods of those three god kings.
Two hundred years ago, when they fought against the god of hell, Adros had already seen that the god king of three generations of ancestors and grandchildren was actually going to take the path of integration.
In that war, the original god-king Ouranos seemed to have become one with Zeus. And all these years, Kronus and Zeus have stayed in the temple and have not come out, I am afraid that the road to the unity of the Trinity is almost complete.
The thunder on Mount Olympus disappeared, and the day time and space converged, it was the time when a new god-king was born.
The situation on the Babylonian and Persian side, Adros has also been paying attention, after all, the starry sky is under his control, and under astrology, almost everything can be inferred except for a few dominants.
In the year of Mingzun's death, the Persian kingdom had already succeeded in occupying the Medes, and the kingdom was henceforth called an empire, standing side by side with the Babylonian Empire.
But the Persian Empire's armies did not stop there, and in the years that followed, Cyrus conquered small states such as Elam, Parthia, and Armenia.
Then, several of the larger kingdoms—Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt—joined forces to defend themselves against the Persian onslaught. I don't know what Gaia, the mother of the earth, thinks, but among the coalition forces that resisted Persia, there were still some Greek city-states that were blessed by Gaia.
However, their alliance was to no avail, and after the coalition was repulsed by the army led by Cyrus himself, he turned from defense to attack, without giving the other side a chance to breathe, and approached the heart of Lydia.
During the attack, Cyrus sacrificed his secret weapon, the camel army, because the horses were afraid of camels, and Lydia's cavalry was quickly routed and forced to fight with infantry. The Persian army invaded the Lydian capital city of Sardis, destroying the supposedly martial state and destroying the Greek city-states allied with Lydia.
After that, Cyrus turned east and waged war against the Babylonian Empire, giving the green light all the way, and soon captured the famous city of Babylon. Cyrus then moved the capital of the Persian Empire to Babylon, the most prosperous city in the world at the time, and became the "King of the Four Corners of the Universe".
Faced with the Persian Empire, which had been established in a short period of time, Cyrus did not impose too much of his personal will and desires on the conquered regions. He was indeed very tolerant compared to the Assyrian Empire before him and Necabuniszar the Great of Neo-Babylon.
He pursued a liberal policy of self-government in the conquered regions, and in addition to recognizing the supreme ruling privileges of the Persian Empire, the old laws and ruling apparatus were preserved, and the nobles of Medes, Lydia, and Babylon retained their original privileges. Religiously, he went to the local temple to appease the sacrificial nobility and protect their privileges.
In particular, the Jews, who had been enslaved by Babylon, were liberated by the arrival of Cyrus and allowed to return to the land of Canaan. To them, Cyrus the Great of Persia was simply the messenger of their lord Yahweh, who promised them.
Even many years later, some Jews referred to Cyrus the Great as the Messiah, the son of destiny who brought freedom and happiness to the Jews.
Of course, Cyrus the Great would not have recognized this title, he was used to living on horseback, and he was already "happy to do it", even when he reached the age of the sixtieth year, his army did not stop, and continued to wage a war of conquest against the surrounding gods and kingdoms.
Because Egypt needs to be included in the territory, but in order to avoid fighting on both the eastern and western fronts, it is necessary to remove the remaining tribal threat from the Hittite God Domain. Among the descendants of the Hittites, the most powerful were the Massagtay.
In order to solve this threat, Cyrus personally led a large army against the tribe of the Masagetae, and it began to go well, capturing and killing the prince of Masagetai.
But then the decisive battle with the main army of Massagetai was extremely fierce, and the Massagetais, who had the advantage of the hosts, won the final victory, the Persians were almost completely annihilated, Cyrus was killed, and his head was cut off by the queen of Massagetai and placed in a leather bag full of blood.
Cyrus the Great was considered to have "died a bad death", but for a warrior who had been indefatigable all his life, the Horse Leather Shroud was the highest reward of his life.
"It's really stingy, the god incarnation has been defeated, and he is angry with other people's human avatars. ”
Although she was far away in the Kaos Divine Domain, Adros knew at a glance that this Queen of Masagetai was actually the incarnation of Gaia, the Earth Mother. Although the Hittite Divine Domain has become a part of the Babylonian Divine Domain, the incarnation of the Hittite Great Divine Mother of the Earth Mother Gaia is still there.
She also learned Malduk, and became the king of the world, with no other purpose, just to disgust Malduk.
This kind of small action is impossible to stop the majestic trend of the Persian God Domain, and Malduk even ignored the fall of his human clone for the time being. The emperors of the human world have not cultivated, and their life spans are almost at the end, and as for how they died, it doesn't really matter.
Cyrus the Great's son, Cambyses II, carried on his father's legacy by first destroying the remaining tribes of the Hittite Divine Realm and avenging his father's hatred. He then marched out of Egypt and finally brought Egypt under the rule of the Persian Empire.
At the beginning, in this series of human wars, the gods of the gods of all parties, after all, were all subordinates of Malduk, and almost none of them made a move, and the battles in the human world were left to the human world to solve. The gods just stood above the human world and quietly watched the evolution of the overall situation of the divine domain.
In the war between Persia and Egypt, the Egyptian rulers did not speak, but there were still gods, and they did not want the Persian gods to be so arrogant. They were greeted by a joint strike by the gods of Persia and Babylon, making them honest.
However, there will always be gods who are not afraid of death, and after Cambyses II insulted the religion of Egypt, he was cursed with the life of an Egyptian god.
Then, Cambyses II almost went mad, killing his queen and his own brother Smerdis, which caused public resentment to boil, a rebellion broke out in the country, and on the way back to China to quell the rebellion, he died violently. As for the cause of death, it is related to the gods, and who moved the hand is known only to the most powerful gods.
Then, an emperor who was not inferior to Cyrus succeeded in quelling the rebellion and finally stepped onto the stage of the Domain of the Gods. He was the last disciple of Venerable Zoroaster, Darius.
"Looks like I'm really going to leave this time. ”
In the Land of the Polar Night, Adros finally ended his entanglement with the Knicks and headed east.
Darius's proclamation as emperor, and how he reformed the country and consolidated the dominance of Persia, these human matters, Adros naturally did not care.
All he was concerned about was the Persian army, which was finally ready to begin its march towards India. As well as in the far east, there was a faint trace of purple light coming out, and the purple gas seemed to begin to gather, and the vast atmosphere was like heaven.
The real big change seems to be about to begin.
