Chapter 107: Arrogance
.Yes. ”
On the other hand, the Mother of Light did not know about her daughter's mental activity. Although a somewhat trembling voice from Selene was heard, Thea didn't even glance at her.
She just gazed at the earth and the sea, witnessing the convergence of the storm and the weakness revealed in the sun's fury.
Before, she knew that the moon belonged to her daughter's domain, but she still occupied this place and took care of the remaining star gods, it is difficult to say whether Thea thought about the day when Hyperion came out of trouble.
But now, she doesn't pay attention to those things anymore.
Even if Humperion still has a chance to get out of trouble in the future, perhaps it is better to be a lonely sun than to try to be the master of the starry sky.
Thea had done his best to him.
"Yes, Selene, he was taken away, right in front of your eyes."
Taking a deep breath, Thea seemed to let go of something and turned to look at her daughter.
"I'm leaving, too, like my brother, Koos, the god of lightless celestial bodies, and I'll find a place for me to live in seclusion, or look at the earth and the underworld where I seldom set foot."
"The moon was meant to be yours, I've occupied it for too long, and from now on, I'll give her back to you. Your brother has his own place, and your sister probably doesn't need you to worry. ”
Helios is also more or less a sun god, and as for Eos, the goddess of dawn, as the mother goddess of the stars, she will not be homeless.
"What?" Suddenly, although Selene didn't like the feeling of her place being taken by others, she didn't want to drive Thea away.
In any case, as the Mother of Light with powerful divine powers, Thea's very existence is a deterrent, even if she doesn't really need it much right now.
"But Mother—"
"Listen to me."
With a wave of his hand, stopping the Moon Goddess's words, Thea rarely looked at her daughter.
In the past, she neglected Selene somewhat because she did not possess part of the priesthood of the Sun like her eldest son, nor because she was not 'well-traveled' like her second daughter, Eos.
But looking at it now, maybe she is the one who will have the best life in the future.
"I heard that you were befriended by a 'wizard' named Hekate? She's the one who just became a god. ”
"Yes." Nodding, Selene didn't know why her mother suddenly asked about this.
"Nothing, it's good. I don't know if it's what I thought it would be to get the priesthood out of thin air, but even if it wasn't, there must be other equals behind her. ”
"Only they are the true masters of the world."
After a long sigh, Thea finally admonished her daughter.
"I want you to remember, Selene—"
"Unless there is a truly great being behind you in the future, never be associated with the existence of the God-King again. In the face of absolute power, those calculations are simply a joke. ”
Maybe it was the bystander Qing, Thea vaguely realized that there was definitely something wrong with that 'god king'.
Having experienced two successions of thrones herself, the Mother of Light has come to her senses. A seemingly glamorous throne is actually not a good thing.
But no matter who is behind the existence, it has nothing to do with her. The struggle for power and profit will not help her to step into that level, and if she cannot become a great divine power, the rights she has are just a bubble.
Since it's a bubble, there's nothing to be nostalgic about. [Light] is also different from [Sun], she is not really very keen on power.
Being an ancient god who has mastered the light may be far more respectable than her mastering part of the starry sky.
······
The gods who watched the change had their own reactions, and more than one true god chose to avoid it
And on the earth, since the sun came to the east, the present world has only passed for a short time, and hundreds of millions of living beings have been wiped out, and even at the core of the sun's fall, even their souls have been incinerated.
After all, souls also die, although they exist longer than the body and can avoid some material damage, but in front of the sun itself, there is still no difference.
The laws of the present world faintly vibrate, and almost instantly, the aura of the power of the god king on the body of 'Kronos' plummeted. At the same time, a sense of oppression also enveloped the hearts of all the living gods. But perhaps because the epoch has not yet ended, and the substantive change has not yet taken place.
But the changes in the present world have yet to be succeeded by a new king, and in Tartaros, in the twisted time and space, a creation that lasted for nine months has come to an end.
···
"It's over, is this what it's like to be in control of the world?"
At the core of the abyss, in the interface of the nascent life, Kronos's voice came from the ninth-level world.
As the interface of the ninth layer gradually took shape, under some influence, wonderful changes also took place in the abyss.
Some matter began to be born here, but unlike the artificially opened world, because at this time there were no gods who were completely under the abyss, and this change was extremely slow.
It may be a long time before these substances come together to form an 'earth'-like structure.
Maybe on that day, this place will become the first small realm under the abyss system, and it will be linked to the nine realms opened up by Kronos.
"The personality of great divine power, even if it is just opened, I already feel a trace of power that belongs to that level. Ryan, no wonder you're always so arrogant. ”
It is far from being comparable to Ryan's seven-day creation, although Kronos has also gained enough power, his control of that source power is not smooth, and he has to consider thirty percent of it that does not belong to him, so although he used dozens of times more time for Ryan, the New Realm is still not as good as the nascent spirit realm.
Fortunately, although it still looks desolate and dilapidated, and there is no life, the image of the nine-layer world has loomed. As soon as it was born, it greedily absorbed the power of the abyss, taking advantage of the last moments before the birth of the Demon Mother to strengthen itself.
After all, if you lose this opportunity, it will never be so easy to absorb the power of Tartarus in the future.
"Arrogance? In your eyes, my image has always been like this? ”
Outside the Nine Realms, Ryan's incarnation could feel that his three-percent source power had turned into the foundation of the third, fifth, and seventh layers of the New World.
As for Kronos, he divided the seventy percent of the power that belonged to him into six parts, except for the ninth layer interface, which was built with two percent of the strength, there was not much difference between the other five layers.
After all, the nascent Nine Realms are not like the Spirit Realm, there is a central axis running through the interface. So in order to maintain stability, Kronos chose to make the interface of the ninth layer more 'sinking'.
"The arrogant man himself can't detect it, Ryan, you don't have consciousness yourself, but I can always feel the mental downlook you look down on other gods. Even the Earth Mother didn't make you look up to it. ”
Outside the interface, a white snake shadow first drilled out from the Nine Realms, like an enlarged version of the previous order source force. The next moment, the serpent's shadow condensed into a human body again, and once again, Kronos appeared in the world as a god.
It's just that now he and the former have been judged like two people, and they can't see the past at all. If it weren't for witnessing everything happening, it would have been difficult for Ryan to associate the thin, black-haired, blood-pupiled god in front of him with the previous god king.
No matter how you look at it, in terms of temperament and strength, there is not the slightest resemblance between the two sides.
"Yes, maybe. But since you can't feel it, it's hard to talk about correcting it. ”
After looking at Kronos's new image, Ryan said lightly:
"Almost, the New Realm has taken shape, and the rest is like my Spirit Realm, which will slowly accumulate over time."
"What about the artifact?" Kronos asked, "I think you seem to have more than one artifact." ”
For Ryan's artifact, the former god-king still remembers it vividly. Especially the [Code of Creation], when he was still a god king before, this artifact was very compatible with him. Now as the Lord of the World, he once again realized how important an artifact with [Order] and [Law] at its core.
If possible, he also intends to make one, even if it is weaker than Ryan's.
"As for the artifact, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do right now. The [Order] in the abyss, just like my [Spirituality], has become the root of the world, and will not form an artifact. You're not like me, and you have an extra source investment in opening up the interface, so unless you're just planning to make something that isn't very useful, there's no need for that. ”
"In contrast, the new world still needs some life."
Shaking his head slightly, Ryan could clearly see that the corners of Kronos' mouth moved.
After all, the so-called additional origin, Kronos's former power of time and space is one of them, one of them is still in gestation, and the other has turned into a special mirror.
Turning his head to face the nascent world, at this moment, it was no longer directly observable. Only one conceptual entrance to time and space temporarily opened above the body of Moya, the Mother of Demons, swallowing the power gathered from the abyss.
A trace of origin was absorbed by the Nine Realms, but the speed varied. The ninth-layer world, where Kronos poured more power, was obviously much faster than the other eight-layer interfaces, and Ryan's third layer was faster than the other five.
This is the gap in practice, after all, in terms of swallowing and digesting the source force, Ryan has an era of experience.
At this point, the creation of the world is theoretically over, but the creation of a new world still needs a crucial step. Just like life on earth, there should be a life of its own.
Life is not necessary for the world, but it is an essential part of the process of perfecting the world. What's more, the silver human soul belt has been brought, so naturally there is no need to bring it back.
Originally, they were used in the abyss. By observing their reactions to the power of the Abyss, Ryan can help Cronus complete his transformation, and even after the transformation is completed, the life of these souls can be used as a credit for his contribution to Tartarus after he became the 'King of the Abyss'.
But for now, let them become inhabitants of the new world, and perhaps a few lucky ones among them will be promoted to god-like existence by Kronos. As for Ryan's three-layer world, he had other plans.
"Kronos, these souls should be my gift to congratulate you on your success."
Smiling slightly, feeling the faint longing coming from the world in front of him, Ryan threw the soul of a silver human into the New Realm mixed with the well water of the [Well of Eternity].
So in the nascent world, these souls are instantly accepted by the world, decomposed, transformed, reshaped, and then given bodies by the world and transformed into life in another form.
However, perhaps because of their connection to the abyss, they do not bear any resemblance to their former appearance, but instead look hideous and evil, with different levels of eyesight.
"Hmmm——?!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ryan seemed to have discovered something, and so did Kronos on the side. In the process of soul transformation, an unfamiliar power was revealed. It only disturbed slightly, and was swallowed up by the nascent interface with little resistance.
As a result, the newborn ninth-layer interface gained a trace of authority belonging to [Darkness], which seemed to be a good thing, but both of them sensed it, and at that moment, a message was transmitted along the invisible connection. It is the connection between the source force and its master, it will be held back by the abyss, but it cannot be blocked.
After all, although there is a gap between his master and the abyss, there is no personal suppression.
"What's going on? Darkness, is that the primordial god? ”
There was no anger, or rather, Kronos didn't really care if his method of opening up the world was leaked or not. There is no room for the second world in the abyss, and even if it is exposed, there is no room for others to use it.
But the incident itself is interesting, after all, it seems that Ryan didn't find out all this in advance.
"Yes, it was Erebos and Gaia."
After a pause, Ryan spoke slowly.
"Oh, I was still wondering why this Lord of Darkness was so quiet, I see. You're right, Kronos, I'm a little arrogant. ”
Almost as soon as he saw the power of the dark source, Ryan understood the cause and effect. Gaia made people, and the darkness itself symbolizes secrets, so even if he took these souls all the way, Ryan, who didn't take the initiative to check them, didn't find a problem at all.
It's just that the other party should be targeting the spirit world at the beginning, but they don't want to end up on the new world of Kronos.
"He's coming at me. I actually knew for a long time that he might not believe me, but I really didn't expect that he would secretly show his position in this way. ”
"Smuggling with the soul is indeed a good way."
Gradually calming down, Ryan was not so angry, after all, what the other party got was actually harmless to him. On the contrary, Erebos did teach him a lesson.
"Lord of Darkness, I can't do anything about him now, this rarely born primordial god really has no flaws."
Facing Kronos' gaze, Ryan shook his head: "But Gaia is different. ”
"She once gave me a branch of a golden apple tree as a gift, but now that gift is just the appearance, and these in the soul are the real 'gifts'."
"In that case, I will always return this gift as it was."
