While Zeus and his 'advisor' were immersed in their plans for the future, to the northwest of them, close to the mainland, Hecate and Selene had just completed their own little expedition.

At the end of a brief encounter, Hekat easily took out his opponent, a monster with six heads and eight legs.

The red shoe stepped on the monster's head, and Hekat held up a transparent hedron and examined it carefully.

At her feet, despite its size as large as a mountain, the monster seemed to be unable to carry her, and despite its desperate struggle, it could not move.

"Did you make yourself heavier?"

Although he had seen his friend's magical sorcery more than once over the years, Selene still didn't know why.

As a deity, the essence of her life is extremely high. But without special training, her mental strength is not very strong.

The essence of immortality, authority, and divine power, this is the foundation of the gods' superiority over the mundane. If these are aside, the gods of Kaos are not necessarily wiser and more capable than mortals.

So of course, the moon goddess could not see the mystery behind the witchcraft, and she could only try to understand the principle from the appearance.

"No, in fact, I made it heavier."

Shaking his head, Hekate stomped his foot. The monster didn't react to this, as if to prove that her weight hadn't changed.

"I strengthened the earth's attraction to it, and then the big guy 'heavy' himself up. No way, like this sea monster, it doesn't know how to cut off the connection between itself and the earth, and soars freely in the air. ”

"Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of people can create this kind of strange life, their aesthetics are definitely a bit problematic."

There is no doubt that the life in front of us is not a creation of the Silver Age. It is suspected to be the son of the ancient god of the sea, the descendant of the wrath of the sea Phocus.

Also known as the father of the sea monsters, this sea god has given birth to thousands of sea monsters with the danger of the sea that has not yet been reborn and has obtained the divine power of 'beauty'. These sea monsters are not gods, but they all possess extraordinary powers.

And the one in front of me is probably the bloodline of the father of the sea monster for several generations. The divine aura on its body was already so weak that it had no resistance to Hekate's sorcery.

But the mortal bloodline on its body proves that it will grow like this, not only because of the blood of the sea monster, but also because many mortal things in the Golden Age are very strange in themselves.

"Slate Slate, do you know what this thing is?"

Raising the spar in his hand, under the strange gaze of the moon goddess, Hekate asked as he looked at the book floating beside him.

Like a treasure chest, no matter what she sees, the book she carries with her can provide the answer.

[This is the star core of the ancient stars in the First Age]

[At that time, there were no star gods, and celestial bodies other than the sun and moon rarely emitted light]

[This one in your hand comes from a powerful lightless star]

"Is it a star in the sky, it doesn't feel like my sister's children at all."

Hekate snorted at Selenenu, who spread his hands and smiled back.

The stars of the First Age differed from later ones in that they did not emit light, some were born with the gods of the lightless celestial bodies, and some were the remnants of the earth that escaped at the beginning of creation.

Selene had heard from his mother that in those days, Heavenly Father used to take pleasure in his offspring. He threw the sun, which was not powerful at the time, into the ocean, and it was because of this that the goddess of boiling water was born later. He also often shattered the symbol of the divine power of the godless god Koos, so much so that many celestial bodies broke and disintegrated in that era and fell into the mortal world.

The one in front of me is probably the core of an ancient star, and after falling into the sea, it was accidentally discovered by the sea monster before.

Although the sea monster does not know how to harness its powers, its instinct also tells it that this crystals containing energy are very good for it.

"Maybe it can be made into a crystal ball, and if you use it for divination, it must work very well."

Nodding with satisfaction, Hekat didn't plan to simply extract the energy from the star core. This pure crystal can maximize the power of the spiritual world bet, and provide a glimpse into the future.

So she put the hedron in her hand into the small bag she carried with her, and it was not suitable to handle it now. This ancient star core contains extraordinary power, and only by special means can it be polished without losing its essence.

"Congratulations, Hecate, you've got another treasure."

On the side, Selene sent his blessings at the right time.

She glanced at Hecate's small bag with some envy, the kind of package that could hold a lot of things, and she wanted one too.

Unfortunately, according to Hecate, it was something that only wizards could use. At the moment, she also has no way to make it available to others.

"Thank you. Speaking of which, Selene, how did you think about my previous advice? ”

With a satisfied smile on his face, Hekat did not forget his friend.

In fact, a long time ago, she had offered to teach Selene about the secrets of witchcraft, but the other party seemed to have some considerations, although she seemed to be tempted, but she never agreed.

But this time, thinking about the scene when he was almost caught by Zeus not long ago, Hekate felt that Selene should have a different answer.

I thought about it for a long time, Hecate. Actually, there is a reason why I rejected you before. ”

In Hekate's expectant gaze, after a moment of hesitation, Selene spoke.

"Before you were born, my father had a conflict with the gods who ruled the spirit realm because of me. If you let me enter the spirit realm as well, there is a good chance that you will also be in danger. ”

"So, is this what you've always had to worry about, for fear that you and I will be punished by some being?"

Pouting indifferently, Hekate tugged at the book that was floating beside him into his arms.

"Slate Slate, if I teach my friend the secrets of witchcraft and let her meditate with the help of the spirit realm, will she be in danger?"

She didn't ask herself, because Hekate knew very well that she couldn't be in danger.

After all, the predecessor of the book in his hand was so similar to a legendary artifact, and the material he used to try to weave a magical network was also a spiritual string that was pure to the extreme. She was not the famous god of stupidity, Epimetheus, so how could she worry about her safety.

However, he is a special one, but it does not mean that his friends can also be stained. So in order to avoid surprises, she still asked.

[No, but she can only meditate around you]

[Speed up the preparation of the magic net, in comparison, absorbing pure elements and spiritual power through the magic net is more suitable for novices than facing the spirit world]

Now, the spiritual realm is getting closer and closer to a complete opening, but it is still a little bit ready. At this time, if some existence sneaks in because of random openings, it is no joke.

Moreover, facing the spiritual world in July is not a necessary condition for meditation, and spiritual power is scattered among all things. As for the gods, they can refine their spirits through 'self-visualization' without having to practice the meditation method of grass creation.

After all, the right one is the best. It's just that Selene is somewhat different.

The reason why someone sitting on the sacred mountain of Sinaia made an exception for someone other than Hecate was also because she was the goddess of the moon. Although the core interests are involved, he will not return the concept of the month to the other party. But in other places, I don't mind opening the door a little bit.

"I'll just say it, no problem."

Not knowing the door behind him, after learning the answer he wanted, Hekat looked at his good friend.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Although the image of the father being chased by the black fog and leaving with serious injuries still echoed in his mind, now that it was confirmed, the desire in Selene's heart finally overcame fear.

So in response to Hekate's gaze, the moon goddess nodded heavily.
