Chapter 60: Surveillance

Time cannot be tampered with at will, and the more powerful the world, the more powerful the existence is involved, the more so.

Therefore, before reaching a certain height, it is actually far more difficult and costly to kill one's own enemies head-on by 'killing the past' and then 'killing the present' before reaching a certain height.

Therefore, although the future time dragons can travel through the past and the future, they cannot change what has happened at will. They observe the future, but they cannot know which future is real, or what they see is not, it is only a small possibility that is not even a prophecy; They have insight into the past, but more like watching a movie, and even if they involve too much of their own existence, it will lead to the blurring of the 'film'.

"But this is limited to the main body of Kaos, after all, there are too many gods here, and the laws are too strict. If it was somewhere else, it would be much better. ”

Ryan's gaze passed through the layers of obstacles, and saw the void beyond the present world, within the world. As a god who was deeply involved in the process of integrating the nine kingdoms into the world, even if he did not take the initiative to predict, fate still gave him a feedback.

He could vaguely notice that the small fragments of the Nine Realms that had been absorbed by Kaos in the first place had already begun to evolve, and over time, they might become scattered small planes attached to the main body of the world.

Compared to the present world, the rules of those small planes themselves are weak, and it is difficult to give birth to powerful lifeforms, for this kind of place where there is no high-level power, the Time Dragon can undoubtedly do whatever it wants. Not surprisingly, it will also be the place where their main activities will be in the future.

After all, as dragons, they are strong enough. But in the world of Kaos, the gods are the masters of the world.

"And you."

Ryan turned to look at the other dragon egg, it didn't need to think about it.

Spirituality itself is the power that best suits it. What really matters is how much it can bear.

The palm of his hand gently brushed the surface of the dragon egg, and in an instant, the originally black eggshell turned white, and the whole body turned from a pure entity to an illusory one.

The purest spiritual power flowed down Ryan's fingertips into the dragon eggs, providing power to the dragons that had not yet been born. It begins to shed its state of matter and changes towards a form that is somewhere between the virtual and the solid.

Once transformed, it will possess a powerful body shared by dragons, as well as be able to travel between mind and consciousness, and even the dominant element, glimpsing into the future.

Of course, this is limited to itself, and as the first, it is always a little special, and its kindred may not have this ability.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Ryan unexpectedly discovers that perhaps because of the spiritual power that has significantly enhanced the consciousness of the dragon egg, it has already acquired the ability to think hazy even before it is born.

It began to convey a vague message, roughly seeking a name.

Originally, as Nidhogg's creation, each dragon should have a 'message' from him as a unique name for his future, which is both a title and one of his anchors. But now, the dragon egg transformed by the spirit world has been removed from this influence, so it instinctively needs a name.

"Do you want a name, don't worry, since you haven't been born yet, then you can be called 'white'."

Glancing at the eggshell that turned white, Ryan said casually.

The dragon egg didn't know whether it was satisfied or dissatisfied, but it shook it twice.

"Then I'll be satisfied with you."

Smiling slightly, while the two dragon eggs began to be conceived one after another, some rules of the spirit world also changed.

Ryan didn't plan to turn these two powerful true dragons into a 'dragon mother' role, but they only had one, so naturally another way was needed to give birth to the same kind. Ryan thought very simply, it would be better to lay eggs through the backdoor.

From now on, the two dragon eggs will be born spontaneously not through reproduction, but through the convergence of time and spirituality.

It is possible that they can appear anywhere, and more likely directly in the dead eggs of other dragons, directly replacing them.

However, these 'weak' people are inevitably far behind the kings of their respective races. Clans like Bai Miku only possess spiritual powers, and the elements and fate will have nothing to do with them.

For this reason, Ryan also gave them a unique name, [Mind Dragon].

"Looks like it's going to take a lot of time. Then wait. ”

The dragon egg is still some time away from being born, but this is not long for the gods, and if the passage of time here is accelerated, then it is expected that Shiro will be able to break out of the shell before the bronze humans are destroyed.

So Ryan raised his hand slightly, distorting the time on the sacred mountain.

In this case, he planned to wait for more than ten years, and after the birth of this spiritually conceived dragon, he would consider its much weaker brothers and sisters.

In this gap, he took out Odin's broken weapon, the barrel of the Gungnir.

More than ten years, in the chaotic time and space, is probably enough for him to deal with this treasure of the other world. Ryan didn't intend to repair or keep this artifact, after all, [Gangnir] had lost the spear head that penetrated everything, and his own power was not very important to him.

For it, Ryan has another use.

······

Mount Olympus, the residence of the god-king.

It has been a long time since he punished humanity, and sitting on a seat in the palace, Zeus gently rubbed his eyebrows.

In recent days, his headaches have become more and more pronounced.

The God-King knew what was going on. Her daughter is about to reach adulthood, and she can't wait to come into this world, but as a god, she still needs a process, a process of 'birth'.

But Zeus was not a goddess after all, and he could not have 'begotten' her, so her power began to clash with his father.

Regarding this matter, Zeus is actually not without a solution. As an immortal Protoss, it is not a human being, so it is a big deal to cut open her body and let her be born. But in fact, the God King didn't really want her to come out.

As the prophecy says, 'one will surpass the mother, the other will surpass the father', this unborn child not only divided most of the [wisdom] of Metis, but also made Zeus feel that his thinking was not as clear as before, and even the newborn had other divine beings. Undoubtedly, all this indicates that she will be an extremely powerful true god.

But this made Zeus have many doubts, after all, such a daughter, if she is very obedient, it is fine, but once she has a grudge against her devouring of Mortis, it is likely that there will be one more enemy.

And on the other hand, the god-king thought of the 'wisdom' that had not been granted so long ago.

Could it be that this daughter had already seen something before she was born, and she didn't want 'wisdom' to become the trigger for the destruction of humanity, so she refused to invoke her authority?

"Probably because I thought too much, there is no god, and I can understand the things of the outside world before I am born."

Shaking his head slightly, Zeus seemed to dissipate his troubles.

With several brothers and sisters of his own to compare with, Zeus knew exactly what an unborn god could do.

Perhaps her refusal to invoke her authority was just a coincidence, or perhaps it was the reaction of the [wise] theocratic instinct.

"—Fellowos."

According to the current situation, this child will not be born soon, so the God King is ready to deal with the affairs that have accumulated recently.

With the call of Zeus, a breeze blew, and the god of the west wind, who had been 'reused' by the god king of the 'two dynasties', came to him.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

With a respectful expression, Fellowos asked in a low voice.

"How's it going to do what I asked you to do?"

Although everything had already been arranged, Zeus asked himself if it was time to sit back and relax. Now he is not like later, there are many existences in this world that he cares about.

Therefore, when the gods left on the front foot, he left the god of Zephyr to probe the changes in the human tribes, as well as the attitude of the latter Epimetheus, such as whether he had any complaints against the god-king.

And most importantly, he sent the probing god to track down Hecate, the goddess of the net, who was the biggest uncertainty in the mortal world today. After all, Zeus remembered very well that when he fought with him, this goddess was not a god.

If you don't use your divine power to defeat the true god in your heyday, even if you are still weak at that time, this is very amazing.

"Your Majesty, I may still be lacking in strength, but in this regard, no one can compare with me."

His expression was still respectful, but he looked very confident in his words. As a god who had secretly spied on the Lord of the Spirit Realm, the Night Lady, and the Earth Mother, even the God King could not compare to him in this regard.

What's more, the current gods are limited in their divine power on the earth, and their perception ability has further declined, and in this case, Quiferos doesn't feel that anyone can detect his existence.

"Your Majesty, human beings are as arrogant as ever, obviously the gods have let them go, but they still deceive their fellow people in the name of gods and make them obey their orders, what a bunch of ridiculous mortals."

"But I find that under the deception of those who call themselves 'priests,' the faith of mortals does not seem to have diminished much because of the loss of God's gifts. While some mortals have become unfaithful as a result, many have become more religious. ”

Speaking of which, Fellowos was a little dazed. He could see the results, but he didn't understand why, why did some mortals' belief in God become stronger even though they had no gifts?

"What about Epimetheus?"

There is no idea of explanation, which Zeus expected. Mortals are different from God, and they cannot be treated with benefits. While listening to the report of the wind god, Zeus couldn't help but think of the guy who prayed for eternal life to him, but did not even have a trace of faith.

The mortal's name seemed to be Ao, but that didn't matter. His soul will be imprisoned forever in that charred shell, subjected to eternal pain and lightning, in a sense, a kind of eternal life.

"Your Majesty, the god of hindsight is as stupid as the rumors, I even overheard him say that Prometheus wanted to keep him away from the gods and humans before leaving, but he did not listen to his brother. He lived well with that divine creature and even had a daughter. ”

There was some disdain in the words, and Pheros felt that if Epimetheus could be half as clever as himself, he would not be reduced to a pawn and knew nothing.

"What about the clay pot that Hades sent?"

Zeus didn't pay much attention to Epimetheus, and he only let the god of Zephyr take care of it just in case. The only thing he really cared about was the 'gift' of the Hades.

Hades voluntarily took the name of destroying the bronze man, and if anyone disobeyed his instructions and opened the jar he had given him, the gods under his command would solve Zeus's troubles with doom and pestilence.

As for the price, he demanded that from now on all the corpses of those who did not believe in the gods belong to him, and the god-king agreed to this request.

However, for some reason, his ambitious and talented second brother also participated, and Poseidon said that he would also participate in the destruction of humanity.

Zeus thought that he probably thought that this kind of behavior would make humans fear his power. But he didn't think that he was not alone in the gods, Hades lived in the underworld for a long time, and the authority he had was also disliked by humans, and it was understandable to give up a positive image, but what about Poseidon?

But thinking about it this way, it seems difficult to say that his choice was wrong, after all, his second brother is probably not very capable of playing a majestic and just good god.

"The gift from His Majesty Hades was kept by Epimetheus and Pandora, who did nothing superfluous and only occasionally picked it up and looked at it."

Standing in front of Zeus, Phoros said.

"I see, I'll take care of this."

After a little contemplation, since simple curiosity and the desire to explore can be suppressed by reason, Zeus decided to add a comparison heart.

He believed that he and Eurynom's three daughters would be able to accomplish this very well.

What's more, the Jar God King was actually very interested in the gift from the goddess of the Stygian Moon.

"What about Hecate, what did she do again?"

Finally, the God-King focused his attention on the unstable factor.

He still couldn't see Hekate's attitude towards him, and he didn't understand how the other party had woven the magic web. But she had a powerful artifact, a power that was very different from that of the gods, something Zeus was sure of.

"The goddess of the net, she and the goddess of the moon, Selene, traveled to the ruins of Odils Mountain. They seemed to be doing something there, and I went there to see when they were gone. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Fellowos still told the truth:

"Because I can't use my divine power, I can't break through the barrier that the goddess left there, it seems to be connected to the mountains and rivers there, connected to the magic web, so I don't know what they did."

"After that, they went to the stars."

"It's okay, it's normal for you to have no way to take what she left behind. In the current earth, there are few gods who can help her. ”

Zeus is quite satisfied, as long as Hekate doesn't wander around the ground at this stall.

It would be a nuisance if she suddenly became interested in the bronze humans.

"You have done a good job, when the next generation of human beings is born, I allow you to have the right to spread the faith among human beings alone, this is my reward for you in advance."

"During this time, you will continue to be responsible for monitoring the perimeter of the human tribe."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With a beaming face, Celes knew what Zeus' promise meant.

Nowadays, the belief of the Olympian god system in human beings is still in a state similar to the 'big pot of rice', as long as the powerful gods know the secret of faith, they all build temples of different specifications and sizes in the human tribes according to the level of their respective divine powers.

But in the next epoch that Zeus predicted, this was not the case.

The gods are not in harmony with each other, and if they are forced to be safe, the conflict will only point to him, the god king, and it is better to let them fight each other. And although some gods are very powerful in strength, they are deficient in wisdom, like Poseidon, Zeus felt that if he relied on himself, he was afraid that he would not want to get any believers.

In that case, let the gods 'take care of themselves'.

Moreover, with the belief and deception of the bronze humans, the gods gradually discovered that humans who mainly believed in one god and only respected other gods had far more faith than many gods at the same time, which further intensified the idea that they were divided from each other.

Speaking of which, this discovery is also Prometheus's 'way to die'. Because the gods were able to discover this phenomenon because some humans believed only in the Creator and had superficial beliefs in other gods.

However, none of this had anything to do with the God of Favonius. In the God-King's plan, only those gods who are important in the Divine Court are qualified to spread the faith alone in the next human era, and the position of Phoros is awkward.

Although he became the head of the Wind God with the blessing of the power of the God King, and also performed many of the duties of the original God of Weather, he barely stepped into the medium divine power, and theoretically belonged to a member of the 'High God', but this power God King could take it back at any time.

Now, with Zeus's promise, he can be regarded as completely relieved.

The god of the west wind withdrew from the palace after receiving the order, and disappeared in a stream of air. Behind him, Zeus couldn't help but nod secretly.

The authority of the wind god is really useful in listening to the news, after all, even if the divine power is imprisoned on the earth, it cannot prevent the gods from turning into the true nature of their own priesthood. Neither Hecate nor Epimetus must have noticed his surveillance.

In this regard, Aerys, the goddess of rainbows, who also often conveyed orders for him, was more than a step behind. Therefore, in recent years, the god-king has also let this goddess serve in front of the queen of heaven, instead of following him all the time.

"I hope there aren't any accidents, and I don't know where my instincts came from."

Just before, before and after pressing Prometheus to the East China Sea, Zeus was a little uneasy, so he hastened his plan.

He was so eager to make Pandora and give it to Epimetheus, that he was actually in some eagerness.

But not long after, as the owner of Olympus, the god-king once again had an inexplicable intuition. He felt as if something was approaching the sacred mountain, and there was some kind of strong connection to him.

Zeus spent a lot of time exploring this, but in the end he found nothing.

"Maybe I should do it another way, maybe intuition, far more than divine power can lead me to my goal."

With a slight movement in his expression, Zeus decided that when the matter of the bronze man was over, he would let his instincts guide him to see what caused his reaction.

······

With the integration of the Nine Realms and the imprisonment of Prometheus, the entire world of Kaos was quiet again.

In other words, the constant occurrence of various events like in recent years is something that has not happened in the past two eras.

Years have passed in a hurry, and everything seems so calm that only a few people can perceive the waves under this calm.

Until this day, several visitors from Mount Olympus came to the valley where Epimetheus and Pandora lived.
