Looking at his sister, who was gradually getting a little excited, the dark lord couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Weakness? Let's not say whether there is a weakness in the world, and even if there is, Erebos will never say it.

He himself wants to take this step, if he can create a successful world, it is too late for him to cover it up, how can he allow others to know the secret.

Anyway, Ryan is a smart person, and even if the other party suffers a loss, he will definitely not say it.

Even he had already figured out that if he could open up the world, although he would clash with Ryan and snatch the power of the still ownerless with him, they could not be allies in the fight against the world.

“......”

On the side, I don't know why, after listening to his brother's explanation, Gaia's first reaction was not the ingenuity of the other party's calculations, or the harvest after success, but the feeling that Ryan or Erebos seemed to be a little out of place with the gods of Kaos.

In her impression, the gods are all able to fight, but they can't win allies, and at most they use some tactics to win over helpers, or sneak attacks or something. It's rare to see something like Erebos.

"I will." Mother Earth finally said, "Kronos doesn't want to create a second generation of humans, so I'll be in charge." ”

"He has ignored my wishes and is still unwilling to let Oranides and Kuklops out of the abyss, so I don't care what he thinks."

"I'll do what you ask, but whether it will end up being the way you think it is, that's none of my business."

Hearing this, Erebos nodded, and he finally convinced Gaia.

He couldn't really guarantee that this attempt would succeed, but it was the only way he could think of it.

Soon, Gaia departed with that power, and the Lord of Darkness, after watching Mother Earth leave, stood at the edge of the realm, looking out at the land of eternal night that enveloped the other half of the underworld.

Compared to Gaia, he actually wants to join forces with Nix, and if the power of [Secret] can also be joined, it will be foolproof. But he also knows that if his sister is really limited in means, then his sister is simply not interested in them.

She doesn't have that strong desire to get stronger. If she could, she could even stay alone forever.

It is good to be able to do it without the control of Kaos or something, but it doesn't matter if you can't do it, anyway, as a primordial god, as long as you are not fully personified like Gaia, no matter how you can, you will not completely fall into the realm of great divine power.

Erebos understood this idea, because he had thought so long ago.

If it weren't for Ryan's presence, he would probably have stayed alone in the Lightless Realm, watching the changes in the outside world until the end of time.

"Let's hope it works."

"But if you fail, it's acceptable, as an eternal, I still have many opportunities."

Shaking his head slightly, for Erebos, the biggest price of the failure of the operation was to arouse Ryan's vigilance.

But as long as you act, there will be consequences. In any case, the Lord of Darkness is ready for one more enemy.

Even after that source power is touched, whether or not he achieves the result he wants, he will regard Ryan as his opponent.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

"Come—"

With a clear drink, the next moment, in his own body, Erebos truly mobilized the power belonging to the [Great Divine Power].

Under the power of the ancient gods of creation, everything that happened today was swallowed up by darkness and turned into a 'secret' itself, and even fate was excluded to a certain extent.

"Whew-"

Some panting, even in one's own body, exerting this level of power is not a small burden. Strength alone doesn't put pressure on him, but it's the person who can interfere with fate to a certain extent that is the real difficulty.

"I hope the harvest will be worth my efforts."

Standing on the edge of the Lightless Realm, Erebos began to look forward to the outcome of his plan.

It's just that at this time, he didn't know that the souls of the first and second generations of humans would not actually become part of the spirit world.

As he himself said, drawing strength from the soul is like scooping water in the sea with a basin.

Before the arrival of the Tertiary Age, the birth of female humans, and the real 'circulation' of souls, Ryan did not intend to harvest any soul power, and that simple and crude way did not conform to the aesthetics of continuous development.

However, by mistake, Erebos will indeed get what he wants, the experience of 'world opening' that he has in mind. It's just that it's not the part related to the 'spirit world', but an old friend who was accidentally recruited, and a junior who didn't take it seriously.

······

Since Ryan returned to the spirit world, another five hundred years have passed.

During these five hundred years, the situation in Kaos has changed rapidly.

The war in the skies was drawing to a close, although Kronos had put his offensive on hold due to Ryan's return and the change of the Stygian Moon. But decades later, when it became clear that there was no other movement in the Underworld, the war was rekindled.

Now, more than seventy percent of the starry sky has expressed their submission to the god king, and the star gods in those star fields have also defected. The rest of the place, except for the realm reserved for the celestial god Koos, was the only place left for Hyperion.

Only in the area near the sun, where the power of the sun god was unprecedentedly strong, so the queen of the gods and the god of weather had to slow down there.

On the other side, on the sea, the sea gods also experienced the power of strategy for the first time.

It is difficult to distinguish between the victories and the losers of the battles between the powerful gods, but under the command of Metis, the Ocean God System has made rapid progress elsewhere. They avoided the battlefield of the four main gods, squeezing the realm of the gods of the near sea everywhere. Several of Pontus' heirs were exhausted, but they were always one step slower.

If it weren't for the gradual subterrence of the war in the starry sky, I'm afraid that in the battle for the Borderless Sea, Pontus would have been difficult to maintain even the last part.

As a result of this, the name of 'Metis the Wise' resounded across the earth and the sea, and in view of the tradition of the gods of the ocean, many gods came to her door to express their feelings, but the goddess of wisdom rejected them one by one.

She prefers to be with the golden humans who survived the war of the gods rather than the gods.

She gave them the 'hydrology' she had created, so that they could understand the currents and climate above the sea. As a result, human beings on the ocean have left traces that are completely different from those on the earth.

In this situation, in the starry sky, the daughter of Coos's second daughter, Asteria, the god of meteors, and Perseis, the god of material destruction, was born.

It was precisely because of her birth that the originally harmonious cooperative relationship between Koos and the God-King suddenly cracked.
