Chapter 71: Silver
In the Second Age, humans were always small.
Except for a few existences, no god pays attention to the aging of human beings everywhere, at most he thinks about it in some leisure time, and then suddenly discovers that all human beings have died.
But to die is to die, and now the attention of the gods of Kaos is focused on the god-kings who gave birth to sons of God one after another.
He had three daughters, each of whom was a powerful priest and endowed with extraordinary gifts, but their natural gender prevented them from threatening the throne of the god-king. But Kronos can't have only a daughter forever, he will have his own god son after all.
Just around the time of the birth of the fourth child of the God King, on the Great Plains of Delphi, within the scope of the divine power of the Earth Mother, the Silver Human was born in the hands of this battered ancient god.
Iapetus was watching the scene, where his two children and his wife, Cleomene, the goddess of fame, were there. Since he had decided to disobey the orders of the God King, he would naturally be prepared.
It's a pity that he and his wife had a big fight because of this. After all, the god of speech decided to live in seclusion under the protection of Mother Earth from now on, and the goddess of fame is obviously not a god who likes to keep a low profile.
······
"Kronos, don't blame me. The coming of the Silver Age was determined by fate, and I just obeyed Him. ”
Holding the [Life Treasure Bottle] in his hand, a pitch-black phantom mist loomed. Although he had made a decision before, Gaia was a little hesitant when it came to the end.
Because of what happened before, she did have a lot of grievances against Kronos, but he was the first to stand up and be willing to rebel against the Heavenly Father's child. She was willing to give him some trouble, but she didn't really want him to pay too much.
This ambivalence is evident in the myth, where she directs Zeus to unleash the giants trapped in the abyss and create three artifacts for the three brothers, but after the god-king controversy, she is dissatisfied with Zeus's harshness towards the Titans and gives birth to Typhon to fight against the Olympian gods.
Throughout the process, Gaia's position was vacillating from side to side, and he never made up his mind.
"It's all come to this, my sister, you won't have to stop."
"Do you feel the joy of the underworld? Not surprisingly, Kronos's next child, its theocracy will have something to do with it. ”
"I don't care, although the underworld is also affected by my power, it is only a small part, but what about you? You'll lose some of your earth, and it's all brought to you by your good boy. ”
The voice of Erebos, Lord of Darkness, loomed, and he stood beside Gaia, but the family of the god of speech who watched from the sidelines ignored him.
As a secret in itself, few gods could detect his existence as long as he didn't want to. Even the laws of the world ignore this ancient god to a certain extent.
"I see."
He replied coldly, Gaia knew that Erebos's words didn't make much sense, and the god-king couldn't decide what his descendants' priesthood was.
But the truth is the truth, the reality is the reality, just like he said, the earth mother also felt the shock of the origin of the underworld.
Although the Underworld was not entirely under Gaia's control as a cross between the present and the extraordinary, it was still a part of her.
But soon, this part will also have a new owner.
Reaching out his hand, he fused the faint darkness with the vase's source liquid, and the original emerald green liquid was stained with a shadow. Under the power of the earth, the earth and rocks necessary for the creation of man gushed out and merged with the source liquid.
Although he didn't like Ryan, Gaia had to admit that the humans he had created before him were perfect. So she only made a slight adjustment to make them fit in with the life source liquid whose nature had changed somewhat.
It's hard to create, but it's easy to imitate, so just three days later, the silver humans took shape.
Unlike the Golden Humans, Gaia didn't dare to build a good model and then replicate it because of the infiltration of dark forces, because only enough dilution could make them look normal. So she had to repeat her movements over and over again, even creating hundreds of humans at the same time.
Eventually, when she stopped, a dense mass of silver humans had appeared on the earth. They have not yet been given souls, so their eyes are blank, but the breath of life has manifested itself in them.
It's just that compared to the Golden Age, I don't know why, the silver humans are short in stature, like a child when the gods haven't grown up. And even if it was just a bystander, the god of speech, Iapetus, felt an aura of indulgence, indulgence, greed, and cunning coming from them.
"It seems that the mother goddess is not in a good mood, so her mood is transmitted to these humans along the divine power?"
But would such human beings really worship the gods as devoutly as their predecessors?
The God of Speech couldn't help but wonder, but because of the existence of Mother Earth, he didn't say anything.
Creation is the task assigned by Mother Earth. If you think about the prophecy that when the silver humans appear, there will be war on the earth, then their various manifestations seem reasonable.
"Iapertos, I'll leave the rest to you."
With a long sigh of relief, Gaia was also a little tired. Doing the same thing over and over again made her mentally tired, and with the fact that the birth of the Silver Humans was a conspiracy, she didn't want to see them again.
"Yes, Mother Goddess."
Bowing slightly, the god of speech stepped forward. He picked up the artifact whip, stirred it in the materials he had prepared beforehand, and shook it slightly.
Under the power of the artifact, as the materials fell to the ground, as the golden humans were born, thousands of different kinds of animals appeared on the great plains.
A strange aura emanated from it and landed on the whip, and the power of the artifact increased slightly.
Putting down the long whip, the god of speech raised his glass again. It was filled with the water of the Well of Origin, and he used his divine power to turn it into a mist and envelop the creatures present.
"Huh?"
After completing this step, Iapetos thought it was over, but he was surprised to find that there was still a little well water left in the cup.
That's because he took the well water according to the needs of all spirits to reproduce, but he forgot that humans don't need to reproduce, so the part that belongs to humans remains.
"Then stay here."
If the well water leaves the special cup, even if it is not used, it will lose its effect after seven days. So Iapertus casually poured the rest of it onto a rock at his feet, and watched the changes on the great plains of Delphi.
In his gaze, the eyes of humans and all spirits opened in turn, and silver life would spread across the earth.
Of course, in addition to him, there was also the god of Favonius, Pheros, who had been hovering near Delphi.
