In mid-air outside Mount Olympus, the earth and thunder collided in one place.

In the void, the originally invisible law has gradually revealed traces, trying to stop the confrontation between the two gods, but the collision between the god king and the earth mother not only did not stop because of the constraints of the law, but showed signs of intensification.

For Zeus, there will be no second chance like this, and even if Gaia stops at this moment, he may not stop. For Mother Earth, the differential treatment of the chain of order only further erased what little of her sanity was, making her feel that everything in heaven and earth was working against her.

The extreme emotions made the power of the innate gods even more intense, as if the sky and the earth collided, and this vast scene spread more and more widely, and was seen by the creatures on the continent. They didn't know what was happening, and could only judge by the sound that came from the sky before, that it was a battle between the god-king of Mount Olympus and Gaia, the mother of the earth. For a time, mortals who did not know the gods were shocked by the power of the gods, and left various records and conjectures for this battle.

Some are true, some are wrong, such as Zeus, who is considered not only a symbol of thunder and lightning, but also has some kind of image of the sky. But whether it is true or not, it has become part of the legend and has been passed down ever since.

Of course, that's all a human thing, and it's the gods who know everything that are really hard to believe.

No one knows better than them that there is no leap between the levels of the gods, they are born powerful, but they are also limited to the innate priesthood, and it is difficult to advance after reaching the peak. Even if the faith that was discovered later could break this boundary to some extent, as long as it was not severed, the gods could have more power, but it should not have such power, at least Zeus's current power is not at all like the result of pure faith.

With the current scale of human beings, even if all the faith is concentrated on one person, it may not be able to reach the pinnacle of greatness, but Zeus showed the gods to see overwhelming transcendence.

He could draw with Gaia – and even as time went on, he gradually gained the upper hand. Whether the gods saw the role of the mortal order in this, it did not detract from the shock that Zeus brought to them at this moment.

The third generation of the god king...... Now, like his two previous generations, he has power beyond the true God. At this moment, the position of the 'God King' suddenly became mysterious in their hearts.

If Ouranos is a proof of his natural strength, his three divine powers should be so strong, if the breakthrough of 'Kronos' is only an isolated case, and there is no further evidence to prove that this is related to the throne, then the current Zeus undoubtedly tells the world that perhaps the position of the god-king is so special.

Perhaps in this age when all great beings are ostracized by the present world, only the God-King can be an exception to some extent. It is the only proven way to reach the power of the Great God.

“…… Your Majesty, the war is dangerous, do you want to avoid it again? ”

All kinds of speculation rose in the hearts of the gods, and beside Hera, the god of the west wind asked with a respectful face.

The other gods had more or less distanced themselves from the god-king, and they didn't want to face Gaia with Zeus, but only Phoros didn't.

He still expressed his allegiance to the God King, and followed the side of the Queen of Heaven. But it's not because of how loyal he is, it's because the wind god doesn't really have a choice.

Unlike other gods, the God of Zephyr is not born with medium divine powers. The gods are naturally powerful, and now the time for the birth of human beings is still short, and they have not yet been able to rely on the power of faith to complete the breakthrough of the level, so for the gods, the divine court and human beings are not as important as they imagined now.

I haven't experienced a stronger feeling, so naturally I won't be too eager and reluctant to do so. In their view, the worst outcome of this battle is the defeat of the God-King, the collapse of the Divine Court, and the monopolization of the faith of the Earth Mother. But the deficit of the primordial god will always be replenished one day, and when she recovers intact, human beings still belong to the gods after all, it is just a little late, but they can not care, but this is not true for Pharoth.

Without the forgiveness of two generations of god kings, he would not be the head of the four wind gods. Not only will he lose the right to spread the faith promised by the God King, but he will not even be able to maintain the realm of medium divine power, and return to the state that was once weak. (See 2–38, 3–9)

At that time, no matter who the next god king is, he will probably not be retained again, but will be replaced by three other wind gods. Faced with this situation, Phoros stood firmly on the side of Zeus.

And now, the god of Zephyr has once again made the right choice, and he has successfully sided with the victors.

However, in the eyes of many gods with some regret and envy, Fei Feiros secretly rejoiced in his heart, but also couldn't help but feel a little strange again. Sometimes he is a little strange, although there are always some big and small accidents when he is ordered to do things, but his own luck seems to have been very good. Not only did he successfully complete his mission every time, but he also made the right choice both times when the god king changed and the earth mother came.

"No, as a diva, how can I hide behind people."

The god of the west wind sighed secretly, and in front of him, Hera flatly refused in the face of Phoros's suggestion.

In some ways, the Queen of Heaven and Zeus are indeed very similar, they are not good people in the standard sense, but they also do not lack the courage to face danger.

Before the God King showed her strength, she dared to stand here, and now that Zeus clearly has the upper hand, how could she have the idea of backing down. However, looking at the god of the west wind on the side, Hera's eyes softened.

"The God-King will remember your loyalty, Phoros, and you have proven yourself by your actions compared to the other gods."

"Maybe you're not inherently powerful like some gods, but in the age of faith, that's not a problem. The God-King once told me that he would let the gods rise and fall by the orders of the God-King, not by the strength of their natural powers...... Maybe you deserve a higher position. ”

“…… That's just what I'm supposed to do, Your Majesty. ”

Taking a deep breath, the God of the West Wind saluted again, his heart filled with excitement. The second era made a correct choice, which made him a medium divine power, and truly stepped into the upper echelon of the gods, and now another choice made the path of powerful divine power paved in front of him.

Even looking at the meaning of the Queen of Heaven, maybe the twelve main gods, he didn't have a chance to sit down?

Immersed in imagination, Fellowos stood by the side of the queen like a guard. The battle in the sky is becoming more and more intense, but the decline of the Earth Mother is also becoming more and more obvious. The god of the west wind waited quietly for the end of everything, but at a certain moment, an inexplicable sense of horror appeared in Pharos's heart.

He jerked his head up, searching for the source of the danger, but he looked around and saw nothing.

Everything is the same as Fang Cai, as if it was just an illusion. But the growing fear in his heart told him that something was definitely going on.

"It's ......"

He opened his mouth to say something. But Fellowos soon found out that he had not said anything.

His voice vanished, as if swallowed up by some force, followed by light, images, and even the perception of everything. Little by little, inch by inch, everything is hidden, and everything seems to be shrouded in darkness.

It seems like a moment has passed, and it seems like countless years have passed, and here, time itself seems to be non-existent, and there is no measure of it. Until a certain moment, with a loud sound that seemed to open up the heavens and the earth, the darkness in front of him was torn apart by some powerful force.

"Whew-ho-"

The light reappeared in front of Celes, but he couldn't muster any strength. The Anemo God just gasped for air, trembling unconsciously like a mortal swimming around on the brink of death.

"You're getting stronger again."

An indifferent voice came from the side of the wind god, and he couldn't help but turn to look. There, an unsightly figure was looking into the void in the distance. The God-King and Earth-Mother were also attracted by this sudden scene, and they turned their gaze to it, but the mysterious man just nodded at Zeus not far away, and then disappeared into the void.

For a moment, there was silence outside Mount Olympus, but it was only for a short time. It didn't take long for the battle to ignite again, accompanied by another questioning from Gaia.

“…… I see, Zeus, no wonder I can't feel the breath of the golden apple on Mount Olympus, it turns out that you cooperated with him! ”

It is not known why Erebos did this, but his actions just now certainly prove it. So looking at Zeus, who was still pretending not to know, Gaia launched an offensive again, regardless of the limited power.

······

In an instant, in the depths of the starry sky.

Bang –

Unlike the confined battles on the earth, in the vast starry sky, several star fields were torn apart in an instant, and countless celestial bodies turned into dust. However, the force of the impact that had just occurred here was only a touch of a button, and then moved farther away.

Maybe a few times, maybe thousands of times. At a certain moment, at the very edge of the starry sky, near the outside of the world, these two unpredictable forces finally separated the faint victory.

Tear pull –

As the last sound died down, Ryan's figure revealed. The black and white color faded from his hands, and opposite him, Erebos stood there as well, only the torn corners of his coat testified to the result of the battle.

Obviously, in the previous brief collision, the power between the two ancient gods was reversed for the first time.

"After making up for the defects of divine power, is this the power of [spirituality] at this moment...... No, if it weren't for the power to separate from the power of the cycle and put an end to all things, you wouldn't be much stronger than I am. ”

In the flow of divine power, the corners of the clothes were connected up. Erebos didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the fact that he had just lost a move.

"But that's just the beginning."

With a calm expression, Ryan lightly stated the facts.

"Your power was so when we met in the First Age, and it is still the same now, and it has hardly changed for thousands of years."

"Perhaps with the rise of the world's source power, your 'quantity' has increased, but the proportion of your 'symbol' in the world has not changed in the slightest. But in the realm of the second half of greatness, this is far more important than just the stacking of 'quantity'. ”

As Ryan said, if in the first half of the great divine power, there is still a situation where 'the world rises and the gods rise with the tide', then the second half will not be so easy.

The higher the position, the more important the proportion of the concept. Perhaps compared to the beginning of the world, the power of [Darkness] has indeed increased a lot, but its proportion in the overall world has actually decreased.

So the power of Erebos did not fall because of this, but it did not rise either. However, this is actually a normal phenomenon, and in a well-ordered world, the higher the top, the more difficult it is for Ben to move forward.

"Perhaps, but that's for later......"

His expression remained unchanged, and the Lord of Darkness was not angered by Ryan's words. He just dissipated his body and continued to incarnate the most primitive darkness.

"At least for now, Ryan, you can't get past me."

The sound echoed in the starry sky, and with it some kind of secret, all-encompassing power. This is the real darkness, the endless depth, the world before the birth of light. It stopped in front of Ryan's body, forming an immensely large canopy of heaven that cut off his path to and from the earth.

However, listening to the words of the Lord of Darkness, and looking at Erebos, who really seemed to be on Zeus's side for some reason, and wanted to 'try' to stop him, Ryan smiled instead.

If it was Gaia, maybe he could forget that he could travel to all corners of the world with the help of the spirit world, how could the Lord of Darkness forget. The fact that he followed Ryan to the stars so easily proved his guess once again.

So looking at each other, Ryan said slowly:

"It seems...... The moment you were just cut off from the gods, you were really upset. ”

“……”

The words fell, and the darkness on the other side suddenly fell silent, but Ryan smiled and nodded. What happened in the previous split second seemed to be that Erebos was on Zeus's side, preventing Ryan from attacking the power of the gods, but the reality was far from that.

It was a coincidence, but also an attempt, and in that short moment, the two ancient gods successively planned to make a move on those onlookers. Ryan's purpose is many, such as to see if the main god who supports this ritual can still exist if the main god who is the backbone of this ritual is cut off from the god-king. Another example is whether the main body of the fate of this world is still unbreakable after being influenced by him for two epochs.

And the Lord of Darkness's purpose should not be so much, he is probably just trying to test the former, to see if there are huge flaws in the power of this new God King. So he used his power to envelop the gods in darkness, and the next moment, he got the answer he wanted.

But he got it, but Ryan didn't. Therefore, he did not stop his attack, but shifted the target of his attack to Erebos, and then hit all the way to the depths of the starry sky.

"You attribute your fall to the Death Authority, do you want me to try it too? No need, you've already given me the answer. ”

The expression was calm, and things were already clear...... At the moment of covering the gods, Erebos received some kind of damage, although it was not as strong as he thought, but it was able to cause damage to the great divine power, which in itself proved something.

But in the face of Ryan's ensuing attack, the Lord of Darkness subconsciously chose to conceal it. He pretended to be intact and tried to misjudge the other party, but the result was obvious.

If Ryan's strength was about the same as it was at the turn of the epoch, he might not really be able to detect the strength of Erebos, but now it's different.

Soon, the reaction of the canopy in front of him further confirmed his guess. When Ryan's words fell, the darkness in front of him shook significantly, and silently, as if he had never existed, the other party silently disappeared in front of him. Obviously, after realizing that he was doing useless work, Erebos did not dwell on it, but chose to leave directly.

The starry sky fell silent again, and only the shattered stars silently told what had happened here. With a wave of his hand, as if time had turned back, everything was back to its original state, and standing in the void, Ryan pondered for a moment.

Although the moment was short, some results could already be seen. When the gods were enveloped in the forces of darkness, they did briefly disconnect from the rituals, but this did not seem to have brought immediate weakening to the god-king. More precisely, it is more like the true gods who have been imprisoned in the abyss, although their connection with the present world has been severed, but the laws related to the priesthood will not riot immediately, but there is a long process in between.

In contrast, a more direct betrayal by a deity can have a greater impact. Just like the three Zeus brothers entering the abyss, the rules they represent are not disordered for a while, but when they take the initiative to drive the priesthood, they can cause more violent natural disasters and turmoil.

But the gods betrayed directly...... Thinking of this, the damage that Erebos had just received was even more dazzling.

After all, if the main body of fate still has such a strong inertia, and he is still restraining the main body of the trajectory and cannot be shaken, then can the so-called betrayal really happen?

Maybe it can happen, and then it will be corrected back to the original way it was by some kind of 'coincidence', and what is missing, then make up for it.

"Two epochs have passed, and fate is still so stubborn......"

Silence for a moment, although this is actually expected, does not mean that it is acceptable. The change of trivial things really affects only the trivial matters, and the replacement of three generations of god kings has never changed.

"It's not going to go on like this...... Since you are so stubborn in the face of others, I wonder if you can still be 'unshakable' in the face of yourself? ”

The voice gradually became cold, twenty thousand years of attempt, long enough, if this gentle way did not work, then it had to be changed.

Perhaps, as he had always believed, the world itself was his real obstacle. So Ryan looked to the earth, to the only god on Mount Olympus.

Wait for a result before making a decision. In any case, the river of fate in this world must be completely cut off in the Tertiary Period, and the subsequent events will be completely unknown. If simple planning can't solve the problem......

“…… Then use absolute power to tear apart the laws of the world. ”

Thinking of the world of Hermenu not long ago, Ryan felt that maybe this was not impossible.

"And the God-King......"

The position of the god-king is actually very special, it itself is closely related to fate, and its replacement often represents the replacement of eras. So at this moment, the long-standing plan came to Ryan's mind again.

"Maybe the God-King...... Only three generations are needed! ”

……

Above Hades, the underworld.

In the dim underground space, there was a faint glow at some point. Some kind of glowing moss is everywhere, bringing light to this vast world.

And in the middle of this huge cavity, a tree that shouldn't have been here swayed. It has golden leaves, perfectly proportioned branches, and ...... Some new branches are growing and dull in color.

In front of the giant tree, a group of delicate-looking beings gathered. They knelt on the ground and bowed to the giant tree.

"Looks like you've adapted to life underground."

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded beside the tree, and the figure of the Lord of Darkness slowly emerged. With a wave of his hand, the nearby creatures were moved away, and in front of the golden apple tree, Moanda stepped out of its trunk.

"I'm halfway done as you asked."

Bowing her head slightly, Mo Anda didn't know why the other party came, but she still whispered.

Although she didn't see anything directly, her intuition told her that the presence in front of her didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Done for the most part...... Yes, you're pretty much done except for the egg. ”

Nodding, Erebos' eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. And beside him, Moanda waited quietly.

After a long time, the shaking from the ground seemed to have subsided, and Erebos seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"Originally, it was enough for me to take this 'knife', because it didn't matter what I went to."

"But now look at ......"

Turning around, the Lord of Darkness looked at the Nymph, who had been reincarnated as a god, and said lightly:

"Moanda, I have a task for you."

"Command."

Bowing slightly, the elf responded obediently.

"In a moment, I'll take you to the surface to meet the God-King, the one you wanted to meet."

"I will make a 'covenant' with him, and you are the guarantee of our agreement. You're going to be a part of his court, or even a part of his power, and you're going to enjoy the light and beauty on the surface of the earth from now on, that's nice, right? ”

"Then I...... What do I need to do? ”

Looking up cautiously, not happy, Mo Anda only felt a little frightened. She doesn't know what she's going to do, but she believes that it's definitely not an easy thing to do, and what she has to do is definitely not just enjoy life.

"You don't have to do anything, at least for now. You don't need to worry about your safety either, because the golden apple trees are still here. ”

Sighing, Erebos was a little emotional for the first time. He looked up at the 'zenith' of the underground space, as if he were looking at something else.

"He's the same as Gaia."

“…… What? ”

Some didn't hear clearly, and Mo Anda couldn't help asking.

"I mean...... There is always something that has a way of being hated by everyone, even if there is a being in that 'everyone' that is maintained by Him. ”

Smiling and not saying anything more, Erebos just beckoned.

"Let's go, I don't know if it's a good luck guy, get ready to meet your new life."
