Chapter 95: True Death (2-in-1 5k)
Standing in the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, Kronos recalled his previous conversation and was once again amazed by the whimsical thoughts of the ancient gods in front of him.
Prophecy does not do this, and this can be determined. Today's Kronos is no longer the same as he was 10,000 years ago, he has his own understanding of the present world, fate, and all things, and he knows very well what prophecy can and cannot do.
But from another point of view, he also realized that Ryan had not seen his fate by so-called 'prophecy', but by some other means.
However, this only adds another layer of mystery to the other party. The unknown is always more terrible than the known.
"If I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have known, but when we used to fight for life and death, what would you still have time to do here - art?"
"Hehe, what I did to my father at that time, was it like a show in your eyes, the kind specially designed to make you laugh."
Looking at the picture scroll that was still 'ignited' on the ground, Kronos laughed at himself.
Before, he had been burned off the part that floated on the 'surface' in this flame, and then watched Ryan 'drape' that part over his body.
What remained in front of him now was just a special incarnation.
"It's very expressive, if it wasn't me, maybe I'd come up with the idea of collecting."
Make a pertinent evaluation, although it is 'burning' on the ground, but the content on the scroll is clearly visible.
Heavenly Father Ouranos was pierced through his chest, but his expression was gentle and kind. He seemed to be whispering, like a loving father who teaches his children.
Opposite him, his own scythe in his hand, his face full of anger, and the Titans had different expressions. At the bottom of the picture, the cracks in the earth resemble human faces, symbolizing the Mother Earth that has been fighting against the sky.
This picture scroll records the end of the first generation of god kings, and now, the 'fire' it ignites is used to bury the second generation of god kings.
Regardless of himself, at least the 'God-King Kronos' is 'dead'.
"This power is [death]. There's a god-king's 'death' that can probably sustain a medium-sized god-king right now? ”
After all, we are only halfway through the 'dead' experience, so the rise of the concept of death has not yet reached the end. Feeling that power, Kronos seemed to see the end of all souls.
Of course, this does not include the gods, which do not affect the immortal roots of the true gods. But at this moment, he remembered the only mistake in his life.
A life like the one he called a demigod could probably be easily erased.
"Yes. The world of Kaos is horrific in some ways, such as life and death. ”
Nodding, Ryan reached out and pulled a black force out.
It was the Death that the Spirit Realm had already absorbed, and he threw them into the flames of the ground. The flames jumped a little, then burned in a more violent form.
"Let's get started," he said, "I'll get what I want, I'll get the hope of a new life, and together we'll go on the greatest adventure of our time." ”
"Is an avatar an adventure?"
With a faint reply, Kronos stepped forward slowly.
"The embodiment of part of my essence, of course. If I get stuck in it, I'll have a headache for a long time. ”
Responding casually, the power of the spirit world was concentrated and blessed on the black fire in front of him.
In front of Ryan, the former 'King of Time and Space' stepped into the flames of death. Half of the changes were made before, and they began to be staged.
If the other party is unwilling, even if he has unparalleled power in the spirit world, Ryan will not be able to help an immortal true god, which is established by the rules of Kaos's birth. But when the other party took the initiative to cooperate, under the personality of the great divine power level, a trace of wonderful things began to peel off from Kronos's body.
It was his past, his existence, his priesthood, and the world of Kaos, everything that had been left to him by the Father and Mother as the identity of 'Cronus'. For every point they peeled off, the former god-king's sense of existence dropped by one point, and the burning black fire became more vigorous.
Death is weak, because in Kaos, the gods do not die. But as a true immortal slowly steps into 'death', its power grows.
From the bare feet, to the knees, then to the waist, to the neck, and not over the head. The black flames that ignited on the [Death of the God King] became more and more intense, enveloping Kronos's entire person.
Until a certain moment, as if the fuel had been lost, all the black flames gradually went out. All that remained was a black faceted crystal.
In the previous process, the source power of space-time had merged into the world, and the boundary space of the seven-layer interface had become more stable. And at the core of the spirit world, a mirror that had already been formed suddenly rose by several percent. Next to it, the origin of time oscillates one or two, but in the end it does not condense and unify.
Just as Ryan underestimated the primordial gods before, he also underestimated the complete [Creation Artifact]. If this holy relic of time wants to be born, it still needs an opportunity.
Of course, from another point of view, it is appropriate for him to say at the end of the last epoch that this sacred object, which symbolizes [time], needs to be conceived in one or two epochs.
"Click-"
On the other side, all strength was lost, and after the black flames were extinguished, some blurry scrolls fell to the ground. Its material has been changed, it has undergone a fate and a loop, and its 'symbolism' has been enhanced in some ways. However, after the previous burning, it no longer has the power of an artifact.
But Ryan created it to be what it is today. Witnessing the picture scroll of his own hand ending the previous god king will naturally end him as well.
Without this special symbol of fate, it would have been difficult for the weak 'death' to do all this.
"You're more of a real 'secret' than you are."
"Because your very existence has been forgotten by all things."
At this time, in the fourth layer of the spirit realm, the former god king seemed to have been burned to death. But in Ryan's point of view, Kronos is still there. It's just that now all that is left for him is the source of immortality as a god.
It was an essence that Ryan could not understand to this day, derived from Kaos himself, who was more powerful than the Great God. In the words of a previous life, this supreme essence exists and does not exist. It is neither dirty nor pure, neither born nor destroyed, neither increased nor decreased.
"Congratulations, you've taken the first step back in life."
Stepping forward, he picked up the scorched scroll, which Ryan spread out. Faintly, the figure of Kronos in the painting becomes a little uncertain.
So he threw in the existence that did not involve power, which belonged to the identity of Kronos, re-fleshed the figure in the painting, and then threw it aside casually.
However, in the fourth spiritual realm, time and space are still chaotic and disorderly, and only the cocoon of light formed by the three gods around Ryan is dominated by order. So in the chaotic time and space of the spirit world, this painting that has lost its power is just a flash, and I don't know which corner it has fallen.
"When to go."
No sound came, but Ryan 'heard' Kronos' words. Nowadays, only those who are close to the great divine power can notice the former god king who has lost everything.
Ryan could sense the urgency of the other party, like a guest who had already paid in full, even though he knew that the other party was unlikely to default, but he was still a little unsettled.
It has nothing to do with identity and state of mind, after all, he gives everything.
"Don't worry, I still have something to prepare."
Reaching out and grabbing it, in an instant, the power of the spirit world enveloped most of Kaos's present life. Following a subtle connection with the spirits, Ryan was able to locate his target directly.
After so many years, except for a few dangerous places, such as the vicinity of the primordial gods, or the edge of the sea, the end of the starry sky, the surface of the spirit world has covered almost all places.
So under the influence of the Lord of the Spirit Realm, the invisible power spreads out. All the silver human souls that died were collected, turned into a ball of light, and fell into Lane's hands, and only the few humans who survived the battle of the gods escaped.
But that's not necessarily a good thing. After all, being taken away by Ryan may not end well, but the humans who remain on the earth will definitely be liquidated by the new king.
"Some souls can be used to give you a rehearsal to verify the feasibility of my idea."
"If you succeed in the end, you will simply leave these sinful souls to you. I think you can make them bow down to you, right? ”
Smiling slightly, the souls of the two generations of human beings, Lane did not have the idea of using the power of the spirit world to decompose and digest.
As he said before, simply harvesting the soul as a seed is too rude. A continuous cycle is the right way.
But given that the first two generations of humanity could not reproduce, the cycle should fall to their successors.
"Of course, some mortal souls, I'll make them honest."
Some have bad intentions, although these humans have no direct grudge against themselves, but who makes them a symbol of the evil between Mother Earth and themselves, not to mention the evil breath on their souls, which is clearly visible in the special environment of the spirit world.
Cronos assures that no matter how 'natural' these guys are, he has many ways to teach them what obedience is.
"Let's go, then."
"I'm still looking forward to it. If it weren't for the fact that as the master of spirituality, the subject of 'consciousness' in me is unified, I really wouldn't dare to go with you. ”
Easily took a [Origin Well] well water, Ryan stepped out in one step, and disappeared into the fourth spiritual realm with the illusory Kronos.
As a result, this layer of the spiritual realm was quiet again, and only the light cocoons of the three pregnant gods, and the [death] that had reached a powerful divine power, were still slowly swaying in the void.
······
Just as Ryan ingested the silver human soul, Erebos, the Lord of Darkness standing at the border of the Lightless Domain, moved.
With his right foot raised, he was almost about to take a step. The entire Lightless Realm was turbulent with his actions, and as long as he wished, the entire underworld would be separated in front of the primordial god, and he would personally test the depth of that 'god king'.
But the next moment, Erebos stopped again. Because he found that the part of the power he left in the soul of the silver human was not touched.
They remain in their souls, undiscovered and untouched by their spiritual roots.
"Whew—can't rush."
"I've been waiting for tens of thousands of years, let alone for a while. Let's let him do some useless work first, what's the point of wielding his strength in front of some weak people? ”
His eyes changed for a moment, then he returned to normal, and he continued to sit and watch the changes. Erebos could see that the battle between the figure and the gods was just a façade, and in fact, he was testing the tolerance of the rules of the world in some way.
But this did not prevent the Dark Lord from secretly sneering, after all, he knew that the other party would soon find out that there was no tolerance in the rigid present world. In other words, His tolerance is zero tolerance.
My sister still doesn't understand this truth. Even though Gaia herself is one of the cornerstones of the present world, when she walks in the world as half a great person, it is still ushered in by continuous division and weakening.
Even if he couldn't see the trajectory of fate, Erebos could guess that this weakening would not end until Gaia was completely dissipated from the person of the great divine power, or returned to his original form.
"If this is true of my dear sister, how much more of you?"
"Of course, you are not under His control, so He cannot directly control you, but He can reject you as much as he rejected me."
He chuckled lightly, but the Lord of Darkness knew that the power of the God-King was more than that, otherwise he wouldn't have been amazed by it before. It's just that this role is more for the spirit world than for an individual.
But the current Erebos doesn't have a world of his own, so he doesn't envy this kind of role very much.
Continuing to stand at the edge of the realm, feeling the darkness from which he had been separated, Erebos waited silently. Until he sensed that they had appeared in a familiar and unfamiliar place not far from him.
"Tartarus, actually, I'm curious about what's in my ignorant brother."
"And let me see what you're going to do."
Frowning slightly, that part of the soul was led into the abyss, undoubtedly beyond the expectation of the dark master. In it, although he can still feel his own power, it is more passive.
He could still know what they had been through, but most likely after it had happened, and there might have been a slight delay.
But what will happen to the soul of the silver human is not in his control in the first place. So Erebos didn't react superfluously, he just put his hands behind his back and waited silently.
······
At the same time, on the earth.
The power of the god-king is the embodiment of the blessings of this world, and others may not see the problem, but the world itself can hardly be blinded.
So in 'Kronos', every minute and every second, this power is constantly flowing. Even if nothing is done, it lasts for a maximum of seven days.
Therefore, in order to let the depleting power of the god king in his body intersect with the order of the present world for a little longer, 'Kronos' heart moved, and a distant blockade was lifted.
For a moment, the power that maintained the seal returned, and the aura around his body immediately stabilized.
Nodding in satisfaction, 'Kronos' glanced in front of him. His right hand was lightly forced, and the gods, who were still struggling to support them, were suddenly pressed to the ground inch by inch. The thunder and lightning of divine power collided with the ocean on the giant hand, but it could not shake it in the slightest.
"Gaia, what an old friend"
Looking up, in the east of the earth, a yellow light lit up the sky, which was a sign that the Earth Mother was coming.
Compared with Zeus, who is still far from reaching his peak, this primordial god who has also not declined to the limit is an opponent worth facing seriously.
"That's kind of interesting. The current Zeus is nothing more than that. If you want to make the world feel the 'threat' from the gods, he alone is not enough. ”
With a light snort, Kronos' shook. In the next moment, with the surge of the power of time and space, a void that connected heaven and earth rose up.
The sky is above your head, and your feet are on the earth. Mount Kinabalu is nothing but weeds on the side of the legs, and mountains and rivers are nothing more than ants attached to them. Adapting to the new perspective, the huge void phase qi machine moved, far away from the earth mother.
"Who are you?"
Seeing this scene from afar, Gaia gritted her teeth, and she reaffirmed her guess. Kronos was replaced, and nowhere else could he find his youngest son's breath in the induction of the earth.
Ryan or Erebos, only those two could have done such a thing. At this moment, Gaia began to regret again in her heart, why did she believe her brother's nonsense.
What is directed against the silver humans of the spirit world, perhaps, as the prophecy says, it is completely poison against the god-king.
But in front of her, 'Kronos' didn't care what she was thinking.
He just bent down slightly, and the sea of clouds was lined up one after another. Looking at his titular 'Mother Goddess' at the moment, 'Kronos' said lightly.
"Who am I? Don't you see that clearly, Gaia. I am the God-King, the Supreme One who rules the sky, the earth, and the sea. ”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you're willing to call me by my original name."
Raising his head, he looked in the direction of the starry sky. It seems that as he unsealed himself, something unexpected changed there.
But it doesn't make sense. In the past, the owner of the sun was an adversary, but now, the sun itself is just a toy.
So he looked at Mother Earth, at the gods, at all beings who were supposed to be loyal to the god-king.
Since he is now a god-king, it is time to say what a god-king should say.
"Praise my name, my foolish subjects."
The supreme power gathered, accompanied by his voice to the world.
"I'm Kronos, I'm the Lord of Time and Space!"
The power condensed to the extreme swirled around the huge void phase, like a silver-white band of light. The next moment, 'Kronos' clenched his hands and hammered towards the earth.
There's nothing fancy, it's just a collision between person and power. The vast and endless earthy yellow halo firmly blocked in front of him, and in the face of this overwhelming blow, Gaia and the earth became one, and the authority of the primordial god was undoubtedly revealed.
The world seemed to be silent for a moment, and when two powers beyond the powerful divine power bombarded together, the void began to disintegrate, and the aftermath shook the gods back. Gaia was a little inferior after all, so she took her position as the midpoint, and the earth caved down, forming a huge basin. Countless mountain gods and river gods have returned to dust in an instant, but this is not the end of it.
Under the horrified gaze of the gods, the illusory figure that had just created all this took a step back under the force of the shock, and collided with the towering sacred mountain.
The next moment, Mount Odils, the highest mountain in the world, the closest to the sky, slowly collapsed to the northwest after a violent tremor.
I didn't like the Sun God fight in the background before, probably because I'm not very good at this, but the fight is not the point, so I just interspersed a little bit, and this is also the reason why the Titan War was skipped before. (Finally, don't ask me where the second chapter is, the two chapters are combined, and these chapters at the end of the era are not suitable for dismantling)
