Chapter 17: I, the Unrestrained Soul
Smager narrowly escaped from Veres's clutches and struggled back into the temple of the gods from the abyss of the ocean.
It was the first time he had been so humiliated.
"Honorable God-King. ”
Smagel whispered, "I originally thought that Veres would give in and let the snake god Peraschia take his place, but I didn't expect that I would rather offend the Temple of the Gods and the Dark World than keep the position of the god of the Styx." He's rebelling against us, and that's just the beginning. There may be more acts of disobedience to come. ”
The god-king sat on the throne of the Temple of the Gods with a flat expression.
"Isn't that a good situation now?"
God-King Sventovet said unconcernedly, "Veres killed Skipper's brother, and he won't give up. The entire dark world will see him as an enemy, and Veres will have nowhere to hide. Eventually become an enemy of the Cosmic Tree. ”
"God King, with all due respect, then why not just clean up Veres in the dispute between the gods seven years ago. At that time, what we did was not only to expel the temple of the gods, but even to completely erase him with the help of the hand of the god of thunder, Perron. And in the seven years that he has been asleep, he has obviously had countless opportunities, but why did he choose to endure in the end?"
"God-King, it's not just as simple as letting Veres die, right?"
However, Smagel did not wait for an answer. It looked up, but what it saw was a pair of gloomy eyes.
If it weren't for Sventoville's other three eyes closed, twelve eyes would have been able to see through all the secrets of his heart.
The god of gods stood up and stepped forward.
And at that moment, an invisible sense of oppression swept towards Smargel. It subconsciously bent its waist, retracted its white wings, and prostrated in front of the God King in fear.
In Sventovet's eyes, Smager was nothing more than a dog with wings.
The God-King didn't speak, and Smager didn't dare to look up. It was just a moment, but in Smargel's opinion, it seemed like 10,000 years had passed.
Eventually, all he was waiting for was a warning.
"There are some things that you don't need to know too much. ”
"Now, take my edict and go to Skipper, and tell him that if you kill Veres, you will make him ruler of the Styx. It had lost its brother, and even if it didn't make a promise, it wouldn't let Veres go. With the help of the god of beasts, eradicate the troubles of his henchmen. No one will refuse this offer. ”
Smager retreated, fearful in his heart, and this time he was going deep into the dark world to make a deal with the vicious Skipper in a horde of evil monsters who hated the gods.
The last sentence of the god-king is a pun.
It made Smager feel a chill down his spine for a moment.
"Smager, don't forget. ”
"You're just one of my dogs. ”
Thousands of miles away, the dark rain clouds began to gradually dissipate.
The corpse of the serpent god Peraschia gradually withered, and Veres seeped the last drop of its blood into the earth.
Watered with the serpent's blood, the cracked earth regrew green grass, and wildflowers began to dot the monotonous earth. After an abundant rainfall, the vast Dnieper River was refilled.
The parched continent is beginning to come alive again.
The Slavs bowed down to the statue of Veres and thanked him for bringing abundant rain to the world.
Eventually, Pelaskia was left with a shriveled head, blood that filled the continent, carrion fed the vultures, and Peraschia's death gave the world a new life.
After squeezing out Peraschia, all that was left was a snakeskin that could cover the world, and Sensen's white bones, and the gray vertical pupils were engraved with the fear of dying. Veres let go, and the serpent's corpse fell from the sky and was thrown into the entrance to the sea and the dark world.
Huge waves splashed on the surface of the sea, and the corpses floating on the surface of the sea quickly sank into the endless depths.
The bloody rancid stench attracted sea monsters and ugly giant fish that coveted a full meal, but no one dared to step forward after seeing Veres's massive body.
The scene of Veres entrenched in the Stygian Sea and sweeping the waves is still vivid in my mind.
Looking at the huge waves rolling up on the sea, Veres's consciousness began to lose sight of whether he had become a giant serpent in the mythological texts, or whether the giant serpent had a strange dream and had strange thoughts in his mind.
It was only after seven years of sleeping in the Stygian Sea, and from the moment he woke up from his sleep, the serpent was no longer a member of the Temple of the Gods, nor a part of the dark world, but a truly free, unrestrained soul.
Freely.
No longer bound and oppressed, he watches over the entire continent, and has nothing to do with the pantheon, nothing to do with the dark gods.
"I'm Veres. ”
"No one can replace the gods. ”
Veres killed Peraschia, not only because the other party wanted to replace him as the god of the underworld, but also because he had severed his ties with the dark world.
He will not be co-opted, let alone conquered.
Any god who dares to point fingers at the Stygian Sea, he will not hesitate to wipe it out.
Peraschia's corpse slowly sank into the abyss, gradually disappearing into the sea, and then entering the dark world from the Stygian Sea, where it would finally appear in front of the ferocious serpent Skipper.
The serpent, hidden in the foundation of the Death Cypress in the underworld, would be shocked and furious when he saw Peraschia's death.
"This is just the beginning of the nightmare. ”
Gamaeune recorded Skipper's atrocities in his parchments, sealed Perron under the care of Silas, the mother of the earth, and spoke to the infant gods.
"Give up, Perron, even your father will bow down to the beast Skipper!Fight our enemies, Perron, serve the kingdom underground!"
However, after Perron rejected Skipper's suggestion, the evil god locked him in a heavy rock and threw him into the depths of the sea. In the end, the gods rescued Perron and banished Skipper to the dark underworld, never to set foot in the earth again.
No matter what conspiracy the god-king Sventovit and the Temple of the Gods have behind it, the next thing will be to pull the nerves of the Dark World and the Temple of the Gods.
And Levis will be the target of public criticism.
Whatever conspiracy you have behind your back, the gods will be with you to the end.
Because, I am the giant serpent of the world that entrenches the whole earth.
Floating among the waves of the Stygian Sea, Veres let out a roar.
The originally calm sea began to tumble and boil, and the white waves, centered on the huge heads, began to spread continuously.
Like under the abyss, a behemoth is ready to break free.
In the temple of the gods, the gods high up were feasting, and suddenly, an angry roar came from the distant clouds, and the sound blew away the clouds, eclipsing the sun as well.
The gods of the temple of gods have changed their faces, and the billions of orbs of light that imitate the stars in the temple of gods have lost their former brilliance. Even Thor subconsciously clenched his war hammer. The God-King stood on the steps of the Temple of the Gods, gazing at the Stygian Sea from above, his eyes filled with meaningful and complex emotions.
That roar was clearly announcing that the former god of war was sleeping for seven days of spring ploughing.
Finally back.
