Chapter 7: Two Paths (Monthly Pass +6)
Night gradually covered the land.
On the sacred mountain, the gods are about to witness the birth of a new king, and in the silent night, the fluctuations of the source sea at the turn of the epochs also cover up many unknown things.
Tens of thousands of miles away, on a high mountain next to the Great Plains of Delphi, two figures quietly looked at the surviving humans nearby.
That's the Silver Human. They endured many hardships, but they survived. In the catastrophic climate, they are still struggling, but they probably don't know that it won't be long before they will be wiped out by the new king.
The earth doesn't need them, and the gods hate them, maybe as Mephistopheles, the former leader of the Silver Humans, said, 'Let us all die, or make them all listen to us', and now the one who said it has gone to work for the latter, but the remaining Silver Humans are about to practice the former.
Even unlike the Golden Humans, they didn't have time to leave any remnants to show that they once existed.
"A bunch of humans, did you just let me come to see them? I really don't see anything to see from them. ”
The face under the black dress is a little hazy, and the tall figure is unseen, as mysterious as the night itself. Standing beside Ryan, Nyx's attitude was as usual.
"There's nothing to see right now."
Rubbing the corners of his forehead slightly, his spirit was a little tired. During the day, he fought against two primordial gods, and then opened up reincarnation, and even not long ago, he quietly observed a special change, so although Ryan's divine body returned to normal because of the birth of reincarnation, or even better than before, he was still a little unable to keep his spirits up.
But even so, he still invited Nyx to come out for a walk after a long time, ready to thank the other party for his previous biased behavior, and by the way, understand why the other party did it.
"But the future will be different, don't you also feel it, because of the battle not long ago, the shackles that are about to be lowered for all the gods in this world."
"Soon, the earth will reject divine power, and the rest of the world will be more or less restricted. Even the gods can't resist the world itself, they can only choose to obey. ”
"And without God's intervention, at least directly, in the Tertiary Age to come, all things will be the masters of the earth."
Under the black robe, Ryan had to sigh that Nyx's gift was really useful.
For the laws of the world, the trick of hiding in history is not very effective. After all, on a global level, there is no difference between the past and the present.
But [Secret] is different. This black robe, woven from the fabric given by the Night Lady, 'hid' his aura well, and as long as he didn't use his divine power, it wouldn't be discovered.
Fortunately, the gods will soon be unable to use their divine power on the earth, so looking at it this way, there is no difference between everyone.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious."
Smiling, Ryan looked at the night lady with a vague face.
"Why did you plan to be on my side before?"
When the Spirit Realm collided with the Lightless Domain before, Nyx was on the side, which was keenly noticed by Ryan. If she is trying to help the Lord of Darkness, then she can do it directly, I am afraid that the 'God King' will not have time to talk to the 'good boys' and will leave in a hurry.
Since there is no hands-on, there is only one explanation. The other party wanted to help him block Erebos's attack, but after seeing that he could handle it, he didn't intervene.
But Ryan really didn't understand, did the other party have any reason to help him?
"Heh, do I need a reason to do things?"
With a disdainful smile, Nyx turned to deny:
"Only Ling and Erebos will understand everything. What's more, I'm just going to have fun, and the battle of the great god power level is the second case since the creation of the world. ”
Nodding, Ryan didn't believe it much, but he didn't continue to ask. After all, he had long been prepared for the fact that the god Kaos could do as he pleased.
And as Nyx said, once in the battle at the end of the First Age, the Titans thought they were the main force, but the Earth Mother who moved the earth against the sky was. However, at that time, Ms. Night didn't have time to run to the ground to watch the battle, maybe she really wanted to watch the play.
But then again, two eras, twice as a real attacker, but Gaia has not received any benefits, which is really unusual.
Sometimes, Ryan doesn't even want to target her. But there was no way, Gaia was miserable, but it was always easy to be instigated by others, or to do something casually, and he had to deal with it.
Choosing this place for this trip, Ryan also has a little to see if the Mother Earth has fallen into a short sleep. Regarding the branches of the golden apple, he also needs to choose a suitable person.
"Okay, then I'll just take you to see the fun, but even so, to thank you for not standing across from me before, I'm going to share an interesting discovery with you."
Shaking his head slightly, Ryan calmly spoke of something he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Nyx, you know, a long time ago, I was thinking about where we are so far from the complete Great Divine Power."
"It also requires thinking, don't you know everything?" With a light snort, Lady Night said, "In addition to maintaining the stability of her personality, what else can she be missing?" ”
"Whether it's the night, your spirituality, or even the newly born reincarnation, is now a power that is sufficient to sustain great divine power. But if he is forcibly promoted, Tartarus will be the end, and the will to lose his personality is what is the difference between death and death? ”
Ryan nodded, as Nyx said, great divine power is the rule itself, and the reason why they are not complete greatness is because their will cannot permanently merge with the source without being assimilated.
"Yes, we need to make it possible for the personality to fit in with the rules without being affected, but we can't do that right now. However, I thought of a possibility that might make up for our shortcomings in this area. ”
Looking in the direction of the silver human, Ryan held out his hand. Two humanoid virtual images slowly emerged, one with a divine haunt and the other with nothing.
Nyx could see that he was using this to represent gods and mortals.
"Humans. Is that why you invented 'witchcraft'? ”
casually asked, as to where the source of the magic net is, the great divine powers can see it clearly. Therefore, it is natural not to ask who the so-called witchcraft originated from.
"Sort of, but at the moment, it's far from serving my purpose."
Nodding slightly, Ryan continued:
"Authority is a part of us, but perhaps our perspective is so high that even if we hold it, we don't really understand it, and this is where our flaws lie."
From God's point of view, we can never really understand all of this. But if you can experience it from another perspective, you may be able to make up for this shortcoming. ”
The five fingers were slowly clenched, and the two voids disappeared.
"Because it is unknown, rules affect personality. But if you understand everything, will there still be this kind of problem? ”
Slightly silent, Nyx wanted to veto this statement, but felt that there was some truth. Because she found that she might not know as much about [Night] as she thought.
It's like a person doesn't know the structure of their brain, the flow of blood. He knows how to use it, better than anyone else, but he doesn't know the inner workings.
"So what are you going to do, don't you be a god, use your reincarnation?"
In the end, Nyx was still not optimistic about this.
"That's not true, after all, it's just a conjecture, and in the current world, there is no way to become a god without relying on any external force, so I naturally won't do useless work."
"What's more, the world is a bit more dangerous now, no matter how you think about it, I will not make such a decision."
Shaking his head, Ryan wasn't going to do such a thing. His gaze looked into the distance, pointed to the silver human, and said slowly:
"But that doesn't stop me from preparing for it."
"I have prepared two paths for them, and I will select some of them who are good but not good enough, and give them the opportunity to become gods. Of course, that's not what I want, I just want them to be a benchmark and show those who really have potential, mortals, can become gods. ”
"Desire is the source of everything and the driving force for the progress of civilization. Even I never thought that my wisdom was omnipotent. Speaking calmly, Ryan finally said, "I'll create opportunities for them, and then wait for them to give me inspiration." ”
"They become sacred, and I go further, and that makes sense."
"That's what it sounds like."
It didn't matter, but Nyx nodded.
"Since you have hope for it, let's try it."
Contrary to what Ryan thought, the process itself might be a little more interesting than anything else, for Nyx.
She also wanted to see what the 'two paths' Ryan was talking about, and in short, it was probably not the way to give Godhead directly.
After all, carrying a godhead requires 'qualifications', and for gods with an immortal nature, even if their 'qualifications' can't carry a powerful godhood, they can at least become an ordinary true god, which is the lower limit of being an innate god, but mortal things are different.
Those humans who Ryan calls 'good, but not good enough' may not have that ability.
"But the birth of a new humanity. Probably soon. ”
"Your influence on fate is getting bigger and bigger, maybe the next generation of human beings will come faster and go faster."
Under the changing veil, Nyx didn't know if he was smiling.
The three-phase incarnation of the ontology is in charge of destiny, which makes her somewhat vague about the future. Humanity will be created and destroyed once, which should have happened thousands of years later, but now it has been brought forward.
Just let her wait a little and see what interesting things can happen to the human race in the future.
To explain in advance, there are two kinds of sequences, similar to the potions system, which belongs to one of the two methods given by the protagonist, but not what he wants, above.
