Chapter 5: The Spiritual Realm of the Goddess of Justice

"What shall I call you, goddess of the Stygian Moon?"

Following the black-robed girl through the portal, Themis didn't rush to look around, but asked for the name of the strange god.

In Kaos's current narrow 'circle of gods', a god that she had never seen suddenly appeared, which inevitably made her a little curious.

"The master named me Lyanna."

The girl's voice is very soft, but when it comes to the ears, it gives people a sense of majesty. Themis knew that this was the influence of the Stygian Priesthood.

In today's underworld, except for Styx, the goddess of oaths, who has not appeared for a long time, there are only a few heirs of the two gods of the night who occasionally appear.

But Styx has only just been born, and the six children of the Lord of Darkness, who are in charge of doom, destruction, decay, grief, deception, and lust, are not strong, and faintly, the moon is the lord of Hades.

Even in later generations, the original goddess of the moon and the fork in the road became the monarch of the underworld, with authority second only to Hades. It can be seen that the status of [Stygian Moon] in the underworld is by no means ordinary.

Therefore, under the influence of the priesthood, Lyanna's voice naturally had a hint of a king's feeling, just like the god of the ocean who now rules the sea.

Hearing this, Themis nodded, but only after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped again. Hearing that there was no movement behind her, Lyanna in front of her turned around and asked Lady Justice with her eyes why she had stopped.

"I'm really sorry, but Her Highness Lyanna, what is this?"

She had just patronized and asked for Lyanna's name, but when Themis looked around, she was surprised to find that she had come to a special place.

Everything around him seemed to be no different from the underworld outside, and if it weren't for the sudden black-and-white world, Themis didn't even think he had ever moved.

Looking around, a transparent creature in the shape of a lid floated in the air around him. They 'float', and many tentacles float out from under the canopy, as if drawing something from the environment.

Themis could feel that it might be the power of what is called 'spirituality'.

Although she had never seen it before, the goddess was very sure that the strange thing in front of her was indeed a life, a life different from that of the gods.

There is no divinity in them, and mere time can leave traces on them, and even wear out their existence. But there is no doubt that this wonderful life of first sight also has a mind, albeit a very shallow one.

That's what makes her the most incomprehensible. At this moment, Kaos does not yet have a non-divine intelligent life, even if it is only primitive wisdom.

"This is a type of 'ghost jellyfish', the weakest 'ghost jellyfish'." Lyanna smiled and explained.

"In the first level of the Spirit Realm, the [Phantom Realm], they are at the bottom of the food chain, but they are also very easy to reproduce, you see-"

Following the direction of Lyanna's finger, Themis noticed a large, transparent creature not far away, cracking through the middle.

The cracking process was slow, lasting about ten minutes, and when the last of the adhesions was broken, the transparent creature was completely split in two.

Tightly, from the wound where the left and right halves were broken, a large number of transparent silk threads drilled out of the body, forming the missing other half of the body. Both 'halfs' grew smaller in size, but over time, they each grew the missing parts and became two smaller, full beings.

"The owner said it was 'mitosis.'" Lyanna explains: "This is a primitive and efficient way of breeding. If the concentration of spirituality is sufficient, they can double in half a day. ”

“...... There is a division... Columns? ”

A new noun refreshes the worldview of Themis. As the Lord of Justice and Law, she has always been quiet and unmoved. But today, she was a little surprised by what she saw.

"It's mitosis." Lyanna corrected, "Don't you see the spiritual threads that emerge when they spawn their bodies? ”

“......”

The goddess of justice was silent, she didn't know what to say.

"Let's go." Seeing that Themis had no doubts, Lyanna made a move, and another door of light appeared in front of her.

Themis could clearly feel that the power that the other party called 'spirituality' was extremely dense behind the light gate, more than ten times richer than the 'first spiritual realm' where he was at this time.

"This is the gateway to the second level of the spirit realm, the [Psychic Realm], also known as the [True Spiritual Realm]. Originally, there were only a few places in each layer of the spirit world that were interconnected, but the barriers between the first three layers of the spirit world were deliberately set up to break through, and you were an invited guest, so we went directly to the fast track. ”

Following Lyanna through the light gate again, Themis was about to show her understanding. The next moment, she was once again stunned by the scene in front of her.

In the first level of the spirit world, although everything is 'black and white', although I just entered and encountered the strange 'spirit jellyfish' and 'mitosis', these are still within the scope of Themis's understanding.

It's nothing more than a special kind of creation. I heard that the spiritual god Guan Earth Mother borrowed the [Life Bottle], and it is not surprising that new life other than plants is born.

But what appeared in front of Themis at this time was a scene that he had never seen before.

Two silver-white crescent moons hung in the sky, and there were many kinds of winged beings flying and chasing in the sky. The land is overgrown with all kinds of strange plants that exude a spiritual aura, and at least ten or more new beings with fur or phosphorus armor walk around the ground.

Not far away, about a kilometer away, a small lake stood. Many scaly beings swim in it, and at the bottom of the lake, there is a strange life that constantly opens and closes, but there is a pearl in the middle.

“...... Are these all creations of His Highness Lane? ”

Looking at everything in front of her, Lady Justice asked in disbelief.

Before Mother Earth created plants, she already considered it an epoch-making achievement. But today, seeing these special beings, she suddenly felt the desolation of the land of Kaos.

"Yes. The Lord created the world in seven days, and these are all spiritual beings created by the Lord in five or six days. ”

Satisfied with the 'outside god's shock at the power of the Creator, Lyanna explained with a smile.

“......”

After a pause, Themis spoke, "Can I get a closer look at them?" ”

"Of course you can, but-"

With a flick of her right hand, Lyanna summoned a door of light for the third time. This time, Themis didn't feel any breath from behind the door.

"Looks like you're going to stay here a little longer, then we won't be able to go up the layers."

"I'm waiting for you here, and in a while, we'll go directly to the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, the Lord's Palace."

"When the time comes, you can state to your master the purpose of coming here."

“......”

Only then did he realize that he had actually come to borrow the oracle slate, but Themis hesitated for a moment and walked towards the spiritual beings.

She was very interested in such a peculiar, non-divine life with its own mind.
