Chapter 15: The Beginning of the Devil's Web

'Artifacts and calendars. ’

In the face of Ryan's request, the Earth Mother did not respond immediately, but she had already agreed in her heart.

Unlike oracles, it is an artifact of the world's birth, and it can be gifted and handed over. But the Vial of Life, as the companion of Mother Earth, cannot really be taken away from her.

As for letting the changes of the moon guide the plants and the climate, Mother Earth is also acceptable. After all, the earth is her fundamental priesthood, and the god of weather must be willing to make a sacrifice for it.

"Kronos." Gaia called in her heart to ask her brave child for her opinion.

"I can grant him what he asks, but what about your three promises?"

At this time, the mother earth was not at peace in her womb, and when Ryan said 'the undoubted new king', the lord of the ocean and the sun god could no longer bear it.

If they had known about the result, they would have stepped forward. But now, they know it's a foregone conclusion. Kronos is no weaker than them, he is the most suitable sword-wielder without the shackles of oaths, and Mother Earth will not choose anyone else.

"I promise." Kronos said to Mother Earth, and his voice was heard out of his body at the same time. He has an absolute advantage, but he has also attracted the displeasure of his brothers. He only wanted to get a more definite prophecy now and sit on the throne, not to fight with his brother in his mother's womb.

"I am willing to grant you three conditions, Your Highness Lane. As long as it doesn't affect my royal power, I'll do my best. ”

Nodding, Ryan was not surprised by Kronos's answer. For him, if he can become a god king, no matter how much he costs, he can accept it. If you can only be trapped in the belly of the mother goddess, no matter how little the price is, it will only be a blank check.

"Good." He smiled and uttered his first request, "First, I want the origin of the plane. ”

The scene fell silent for a moment, and it was clear that neither Mother Earth nor the Titans had expected Ryan to make such a request.

Not too harsh, just weird.

After a few moments, Kronos's voice came. He wasn't angry, but he was a little puzzled.

"It is true that the Source of God can be gifted, Your Highness, but the giver can never really possess it. If you don't intend to be my God, then no matter how much I give you the Source, it will only come back to me over time. ”

Kronos did not lie, unless the world deprived it, the authority of the gods of nature could not be transferred, otherwise the divine power of the twelve Titans would have been taken away by the god kings long ago. Godly is the only way to give it in the long run, but no one thinks that a prophet should be someone else's subordinate.

"That's my business. Like the Viqué of Life, at least I need it now. ”

Ryan didn't respond positively, just reiterated his request again.

"Well, I promise you. As the god of time and space, the departure of the origin does not seriously affect my strength, and I will give you as much as possible. Kronos promised.

Nodding in satisfaction, Ryan began to state his second condition.

"Well, the next request involves the future of the land beneath our feet."

"In a fortuitous prophecy, I saw that one day in the future, a new moon would rise in the sky. It was a physical celestial body like the sun, and it was more suitable to hang there than the moon I had made, so I had to find a new home for my creation. ”

"So you chose the Underworld?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded in acknowledgement.

"Kronos, the future god-king, I want you to make the following promise: The celestial bodies on earth have entities, and the celestial bodies underearth have no substances, so the disembodied sun and moon are on the earth, and the disembodied sun and moon are in the underworld. The sun is a symbol of masculinity, so the sun in the sky is stronger than the sun in Hades; The moon is a symbol of femininity, so the moon in Hades is stronger than the moon in the sky. The physical sun was born first, so the concept of all the days originated from it; The disembodied moon was born first, so the concept of all [moons] originated from it. Heaven and earth correspond to each other, and this is also your merit as a god-king. ”

"I promise."

Kronos did not hesitate, after all, the sun and the moon had nothing to do with him, and he could still use this to ease his brother's jealousy of him.

"Please name the third request, you are always so wise."

Cronos is really hard to criticize about Ryan's thoughts. Just like the Chronology of the past, although no one accepted the priesthood of 'year, month, or quarter', the gods recognized their respect for them. Now the prophets are making demands for their creations, but Hyperion also benefits from it.

"Mother Earth, and all of you who are listening at this time."

Ryan's smile grew more genuine, and he thanked this era of ignorance.

"I don't know if you have noticed that there are all kinds of special particles in the world between heaven and earth, in all things in the world. They exist and they don't exist, they can influence the material of reality, and they can shape the darkness and the light. They are scattered in disorder between heaven and earth, even around us. ”

"Yes, I feel it." Mother Earth said: "Earth, water, wind and fire, light and darkness, wind and thunder, it is a special particle with different powers. ”

"But in the face of divine power, they are as fragile as a piece of paper. I don't know what value they have other than following the rhythm of the gods as they exercise their authority. ”

Smiling slightly, Ryan was noncommittal about Gaia's disparagement. What she said was not unreasonable, in the face of divine power, the power of the elements was indeed insignificant.

But he never meant to use them against divine power.

"Yes," Ryan said, "at least control them, so that I can shake the waves without the priesthood of water, and I can create storms without the priesthood of weather." ”

Gaia smiled politely, and the gods in his womb laughed more directly.

With Gaia's isolation, they weren't afraid of being detected by Ryan. Today, they have been led by Ryan's nose, and they have long been angry in their hearts. But at this moment, the other party's request made them finally regain some self-confidence.

Yes, the god of prophecy may see fate, but his own strength is a bruise.

"The power of the weak." Okeanos commented, "From the time sequence and the month to his thoughts today, he has been using other methods to gain power. ”

"Yes, he's trying to influence the weather."

Cleos sneered, unhappy with Ryan's attempt to control the climate with the 'calendar': "But the priesthood is fundamental, and those ridiculous gadgets are meaningless. ”

"You can't say that, it's at least an attempt, isn't it. Everyone knows that prophesying the destructive power of divine power is a joke. ”

Because of Ryan's plan for the sun and moon, Humperion has a little less bad feeling for him now, but only a little.

After all, Ryan's prophecy only brought him suffering, and the god-king position was also missed to him.

"So what are you going to do?" Unlike his brother, Kronos was not as unbridled as his brother at this most critical moment.

His voice was gentle and earnest, and he seemed to think of Ryan from the heart: "If you are interested in them, I will give you the authority to control them in the name of the God-King when I ascend to the throne." As long as I'm a god-king, you'll be at their fingertips. ”

With a slight smile in his heart, Ryan was insightful of Kronos's words. His expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head lightly and refused:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I have other ideas."

"I'm going to weave a web to restrain these disordered particles. When I need to, I follow a pre-set structure and let the strings of the net intermingle. That way, I'll be able to control them. ”

As he spoke, Ryan also invited the gods:

"At that time, if any of you here want to use this net, I will definitely welcome it."
