Chapter 1: Questioning (Commuter Pass +4)

The Underworld, the realm of lightlessness.

At this moment, the birth of reincarnation has just begun, and the fluctuations of the source sea are still untraceable. In other words, at this point in time, many similar changes can easily be understood as a normal phenomenon of the alternation of epochs.

And unlike Ryan, who was busy opening up reincarnation, Erebos didn't have much to do. He didn't have a clue about washing away the past, and he didn't have anything to pay attention to, so he simply stood on the edge of the realm and looked out at the outside world as usual.

After all, it won't be long before my sister will come to the door to 'ask for guilt'.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Sure enough. In just a short time, after passing through the earth, Mother Earth has already arrived at the 'doorway' of the Lightless Domain. Maybe it was because she was in a bad mood, she didn't mean to say hello at all, but just broke in.

Of course, this is also the reason why Erebos did not refuse. Otherwise, with Gaia's strength, it would be far from enough to 'break in'.

"Looks like I overestimated you, Erebos, I thought you could 'get out of it'!"

With a hint of anger in her voice, Gaia stepped into the realm of darkness. She could vaguely perceive that this place was different from before, and now, the laws of the world also had a slight rejection of the owner of this place.

This was not the case before, because his brother rarely left here, but now it has appeared. Obviously, the previous collision with the spirit world not only made Ryan choose to leave the field in advance, but as the other party, Erebos also paid the price for it.

But thinking about herself, Gaia felt that the price was really insignificant.

"It's natural, my sister. After all, it was a temporary idea, so it was inevitable that it was a little incomplete. ”

Smiling and unimpressed by Gaia's attitude, the Lord of Darkness welcomes his sister.

"Don't talk nonsense, Erebos, whether it's a temporary idea or a premeditated idea, you should know why I'm here."

His brow furrowed slightly, but Gaia didn't expect the other party to admit anything. She only wanted to find out about Kronos's whereabouts, after all, the fake 'God King' was gone, and she always wanted to know where it really was.

And she believes that whether the other party did it or not, her brother will definitely know something.

"Yes, my sister, if I'm not mistaken, you're here for my youngest nephew."

Nodding, the Dark Lord did not deny that he knew about it in the face of Gaia's questioning.

However, in his mouth, the five sea gods and six giants born to Gaia and Pontos seem to have been excluded from the category of 'nephews' by default.

"Although you won't believe it, I still want to say that his business has nothing to do with me."

"Since you know I don't believe it, don't say it."

Gaia was indifferent to Erbos's defense. As for the other party's disapproval of her other children, she also knows why.

Among the gods in the world, only the former Ouranos can make his younger brother look high, so the five sea gods born to Pontus are naturally ignored by him.

As for the giants, not to mention. With the exception of Gaia herself, few gods considered them their kind.

"Whether it's related or not, I just want to know now, where the hell is Kronos now?"

"You two won't fight for no reason, and even if it weren't you, you wouldn't know anything about it!"

There is some helplessness, and what others do is put on their own heads, which is somewhat unpleasant. But considering his sister's level of intelligence, Erebos didn't find it difficult to convince her.

As for Kronos, the Lord of Darkness does have some guesses. A new realm has opened up in the abyss, and judging from the sensing from his own power, the real realm lord seems to be someone else. So Erebos only thought about it for a moment, and locked on to the only object of suspicion.

"In the abyss, but it's probably doing well, so good that I want to swap with him."

"What, do you want to go inside and look for him? That's not a good idea. ”

Faintly responding to his sister, the Dark Lord looked in the direction of Tartarus.

Along with the secrets opened up by the world, there are actually some information from the abyss.

Originally, there was only unrecognizable chaos there, and there was no anger in the slightest, but perhaps in a few years, matter would gradually be born in Tartarus, instinctively learning the general division of the new realm that stole his power.

However, the abyss is chaotic in the end, and even if different levels are born, the harshness of the environment can be imagined. Perhaps, except for a few, more are not suitable for life.

"The Abyss. It's the abyss again! ”

Thinking that he had just let the giants out, the price was that Kronos had also entered. No wonder Gaia couldn't sense the breath of his presence, because the abyss was already outside the present world.

This made her a little angry, but also a little helpless. Because Tartarus is one of the few places she doesn't dare to go in casually.

Abyss, I don't care about his 'sister'.

"Okay, I see, I hope you didn't lie to me."

"I'll keep an eye on this matter, it's better to do it like you said, it has nothing to do with you!"

Responding coldly, Gaia digested the results. Now that she has the answer, she doesn't plan to stay any longer.

Although I don't know if what the other party said is true, now, it is impossible for her to enter Tartarus.

In the previous battle with the 'God King', the gods were only auxiliary, she was the real main force, and the impact of the destruction was naturally second only to the former God King. The price that belonged to 'Kronos' was paid by the reduced theocracy, but none belonged to her.

Gaia had already felt the pressure of the present world on her, a sense of repulsion that was much stronger than that of Erebos. But perhaps because the earth is one of the core cornerstones of the world, this rejection has not really worked on her.

But past experience has taught Gaia that although there is no way to directly solve her, the walking primordial god in this world, there are always some other ways to affect her.

So now, she is going to return to her original body for a short time, and this is the only way she can resist the world. Anyway, the god-king dispute is over, and the rest is a matter between the Zeus brothers. What happened between them, Gaia didn't care.

"Then I won't send it, but then again, have you noticed that Ryan is a little unexpectedly quiet in the handover of this era?"

As if sensing Gaia's dissention, Erebos suddenly said:

"He's not like he's a quiet person, and if he doesn't do anything, it proves that his energy is attracted to something else."

His expression moved, and although he had told himself before he came not to believe any of Ryan's and Erebos' accusations about each other, Gaia was still affected.

His brother seems to be right, no matter how you look at it, Ryan doesn't look like a good guy.

"You have to understand, Gaia, as primordial gods, although we are different, it is difficult to have a power that you do not understand, but he is different."

"He was earlier and more mysterious than we were. He opened up the interface, and he could even divide the gods at will. So for something like the silent substitution of the god king, who do you think is more suspicious? ”

Persuading Mother Earth, as the Lord of Darkness had thought before, is not difficult. However, his purpose is naturally not to simply clear suspicion, but to find himself a useful thug.

Finding a way to wash away the past, and by the way, slowing down Ryan's growth of strength is the only thing he wants to do at the moment. The former can only rely on themselves, while the latter needs to enlist helpers.

Gaia, the first, but by no means the last.

I'll think about it."

He replied coldly, but Gaia had already believed seven points in his heart. In other words, compared to her younger brother, the ancient god who once had a grudge against her was not trusted by her.

"But don't think I'm on your side, I'm not going to care about you-huh?"

"Huh?"

In unison, the two primordial gods discovered the anomaly at the same moment. They were still discussing Ryan's quietness in this era, but in the next moment, a strange wave from the spirit world caught their attention.

The charm of life and death is reflected in it, but they are sublimated into something higher. Gaia even found that her [Visle of Life] was trembling slightly.

It also seems to know that its other half will never come back.

"—Looks like reality doesn't quite like what you say, my brother. He's busy with something else, not a good thing, but you, and I don't know what you were up to. ”

Holding the [Vial of Life], Gaia took a deep breath. Although she hadn't expected to get back the other half of her artifact before, the hope of a complete severance always annoyed her.

"Sure enough, I can't believe a word of what people like you say!"

With a pun, Gaia snorted coldly again, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Now that the whereabouts of Kronos have been obtained, it doesn't matter who did the rest.

She needs to 'sleep' well, and when she wakes up, it's not too late to deal with it.

"It's a coincidence."

Shaking his head slightly, watching Gaia turn into yellow light and disappear, Erebos also had a little headache.

Standing at the edge of the realm, the Lord of Darkness watched his sister leave, her aura gradually becoming one with her body as her form melted into the earth. For hundreds of years, Gaia will not reappear, but will remain in its original state.

He was also a little helpless about the sudden change. After all, the Lord of Darkness could not have imagined that things would be so coincidental.

"But then again, even though I've looked up to you again and again, it's still not enough."

"Is this feeling, 'circular', maybe Kronos was reborn under the influence of this power? Unfortunately, as a great divine power, it probably had a limited effect on me. ”

"Life, death, perhaps, I should also let go of my arrogance and, like you, deal more with those fragile gods."

Whispering to himself, Erebos could perceive that a whole 'Great Symbol' was slowly taking shape.

This is the first case since the opening of Kaos. If the Father had not fallen asleep, in fact, in the middle pages of the Second Age, there would have been a chance for the Sky to achieve this step. If there weren't so many gods dividing up the sea, it would be okay for all the seas and water to gather in one god. [Life Vase] If there is no dichotomy, it is possible for it to reach this step, but the reality is that there is no if.

The complete 'symbol of greatness' applied to the gods means that the qualifications for greatness are advanced, and the remaining half step, as in the present primordial gods, is how to maintain the form of personality, not to lose the will to take that step.

And when used on the artifact, it is the birth of a [Creation Artifact].

Sensing that the spirit world was suddenly open to the outside world, Erebos was somewhat puzzled, after all, the short collision with the spirit world before allowed him to understand some of the other party's reality and reality. In terms of volume, because there are many miscellaneous origins, it is indeed very large, but what can really be regarded as a great level, in addition to integrating all the spirits themselves, is only the transformed oracle slate.

But now, when this creation artifact, which symbolizes 'repetition', is born, the power of the spiritual realm's interface circulation will surely increase by an unknown amount. Any being who does not follow His rules and dares to step into them will be relentlessly suppressed.

He didn't know how strong the spirit world could suppress him, but he didn't plan to try it.

"It's scary, you're moving a little too fast."

Eventually, the Dark Lord remembered a helper who might be of some use.

"Zeus, the new god-king of the future."

"If you can do as well as your father, then I'll barely make friends with you."

Looking in the direction of Mount Olympus, although Erebos still didn't know if the other party was of value or not, he planned to try to touch it.

Of course, the premise is that the other party can really behave, like a god king who says the same.
