Chapter 129: Yes or Nothing
"Here's what's going on...... Hermes, you go to the underworld and tell me what's going on there. ”
Beyond the sacred mountain, it was bright a moment ago, but now it is drowsy. The tone of the whole world was a little dark for a while, and standing in front of the throne, Zeus's divine power dispelled the chill in the air, but it could not dispel the part in his heart.
Hades is dead, and until now the God-King has been a little reluctant to believe it, and even more inclined to believe that it was some kind of miscalculation. After all, since the opening of heaven and earth, he had never heard of a god dying.
So Zeus called his messenger to ask him to go to the underworld for himself. After all, Hermes may not be the crown of the gods when it comes to speed, but he is also the main god worshipped by travelers. His unique authority allows him to easily travel between the two realms, between the earth and the underworld, which is why the God-King has made him his messenger.
However, after a while, no one in the temple answered Zeus's call, so the god-king looked around, and finally fell on Helios.
“…… Your Majesty, Hermes has not returned since he left seven days ago. ”
Seeing Zeus looking at him, Helios had no choice but to respond.
Perhaps it was self-help, but in these seven days, Hades's will and the gradually disintegrating underworld were more closely bound together than ever before, and it was because of this that he saw a lot of things that he shouldn't have seen.
The underworld below is already less than a square mile, and for an interface, this area is like nothing. Just when Ryan thought Hades was about to finish like this, he heard a third inquiry again.
Through these rain-stained clouds, the earth shook continuously. With a flick of the God-King's right hand, the shining silver serpent on the [Thunder] fell from the sky like a chain, sinking deep into the four poles of the earth.
"Whew-"
“……”
But now, he wasn't going to waste any more time. So without waiting, Ryan stretched out his finger and swiped slightly in the air.
At first nothing had changed, and the roar of the earth had been drowned out by the original tremors. Soon, however, Olympus sank slightly, and the incomparably vast stratum was uplifted by the God-King and headed towards the sky.
Click-
"Yes."
Nodding again, Ryan's expression remained the same.
“……”
“……”
“…… Outsiders? ”
The next moment, with a violent roar, golden light flew from a palace on the sacred mountain, and fell straight into Zeus's palm, which was his [thunder].
If Hades is dead, then whatever caused all this, as long as it is conscious, it will never be possible for it to coexist with the gods...... If you have to face it after all, what's the point of procrastinating?
The three generations of Kaos may be different, but at least they are very similar. At least from the beginning to the end, when there was no way to avoid it, they dared to swing their swords at a strong enemy.
Hades' divine body had long since collapsed, and it had been completely annihilated by the scorching sun of the sun. But the chains of death are more than just a real thing, so Hades still has no chance of escaping.
It is 'being' for the absolute 'nothing', but it is non-existent for all things in the world. It is on its basis that the 'one' gives birth to the 'two', and together give birth to the opposing but unified material and spiritual, the two converge and all things begin.
He admits that he was a little scared just now, even if he didn't know what his enemy was. Although the immortality of the gods has been an iron law since the creation of the world, the movement from the source sea has also not been false.
In just a few days, the dark and deep underworld has changed its appearance.
The destruction of the Netherworld validated his theory, although there were some unsatisfactory points, such as in his perception, the destruction of the Netherworld did not have much impact on the world.
Boom –
And now, the disintegration of the world follows the same process. As the scope of the underworld became smaller and smaller, and matter disintegrated more and more, Ryan could feel that the spiritual part of it was also collapsing. When it all ends, it will return to the environment of the beginning of creation, where there is nothing but the void.
“…… You...... To destroy the whole world? ”
Standing in the void, above the concept, he could see that the earth was slowly rising. Someone was pulling it up, and it was the power of the Thunder, Ryan could easily recognize.
So he nodded and acknowledged the title
"Yes."
Stepping directly into the underworld, it is naturally impossible. Courage is not recklessness, so he grabbed the other end of the chain, and Zeus tugged hard.
If you don't want to go underground, then lift the 'lid', that's what Zeus thought. Then the earth rose up with his great power, and the beings wailed in despair. But no one could stop him, and even the gods behind Zeus were shocked by such a terrible power for a while, and forgot about life on earth.
Until the next moment, a brilliant light suddenly rose from the ground, separating the earth left and right
The sound of the big sound, the elephant is invisible, it is obviously enough to shake the heavens and the earth, but at this moment it seems so unwavering. In the next moment, the earth above the Void of the Underworld was split in two, revealing the sky and the sun behind it, as well as the god-king who stood on Mount Olympus.
"In this way, I came to this world at the latest, and it should be before the birth of this 'two'."
So if he had to give this 'initial impulse' a name, then Lane felt that 'Tao' might be a better description of Him. And the original 'one' born of the Tao is the void that carries the world.
It's just an illusory world...... So in the end, he just said lightly:
If two 'absolutes' conflict with each other, it is clear that one of them has been violated, and that is what he fears.
"You're the outsider...... What have you done to the underworld! ”
He hadn't used it in years, because since Typhon, there weren't many opponents in the world worthy of his full effort. At this moment, holding the artifact that accompanied him all the way to the battle, Zeus's mood calmed down.
Compared to the underworld, it won't take long to completely destroy this world. As he once said, the fundamental reason why he had to wait for these seven days was to verify the process of the world's disintegration, otherwise if the world's restrictions on his power did not take effect, Ryan could easily end all this.
"When the external pressure is strong enough, even the smallest internal damage will be magnified by thousands of times."
Therefore, Zeus wanted people to test it first, which is also his habit for a long time. But when he calmed down, he gave up on this idea.
"I guess that's why."
"It's over."
"Ling...... Why destroy us? ”
Turning his head, Ryan looked at the concept that was about to dissipate completely. He thought about whether to say something, but eventually gave up.
“…… Yes, there is such a thing, he went by my command. ”
He didn't know why the world came into being, and how the first concept of absolute 'nothingness' came about, just as the human beings of later generations did not know how the universe of heaven and earth appeared in the first place. They can only try to guess the original state of things, but in the end they can't explain how this original came to be.
Maybe it's to show his strength, or maybe it's to use the earth as his 'shield', or it's more likely that he doesn't want to step into the unknown danger, in short, under the power of Zeus, the earth is indeed slowly rising.
Pinch it like breaking an eggshell...... As for Zeus's questioning, he didn't need to explain.
The Void has no size, and it does not even exist in relation to the matter within the world. If there is 'nothing' outside the world and 'being' within the world, then the void that carries the world is the existence of 'nothing' and the nothingness of 'being'.
That's like the physical rules of the world, they're things that exist objectively, and if there's a reason, it's 'everything is born that way'.
The shadow of the great sun hung high in the sky, and even became more and more condensed. It emitted more and more intense light and heat, revealing a little darkness as if the gray earth was about to be purified.
The things that need to be done have been done, and the arrangements on Athena's side have been done. Then when this is over, Ryan intends to end this world cleanly. So after realizing this, he didn't mind listening to what the other party was thinking.
The God King said lightly.
The last bit of dregs dissipated, and the shock of the illusory source sea echoed through the world along with the last warning of the Immortal, but Lane didn't care.
At this moment, standing in the sky and looking down, the original vast underworld has only a radius of less than a hundred miles left, and even at the very edge, it is still disintegrating and wearing. The original vast space was empty, and all that was there was the endless void that carried the existence of the world.
Making a judgment silently, although Ryan didn't know what it was for, it didn't prevent him from keeping it in his heart. He had always paid attention to the period when he was unconscious at first.
With a moving expression, Ryan raised his head slightly. Following the prestige, it turned out that not far below him, a small crack appeared in the black chain that held the invisible thing together.
"Huh?"
With a swing of the long sleeves, everything that is left of this place is tucked away. After finishing the final touch, Ryan looked up slightly.
"If I had to give a reason......
If Hades' 'death' is indeed fake, there is nothing to be afraid of. And if it's true......
“…… It's you? ”
The figure disappeared in place like a bubble, and in the next moment, an indescribable shadow enveloped the world. He stretched out His hand and took hold of the earth and the sky.
He thought that the other party had returned, but now it is obvious that he has not. Days have passed, but Hermes is still alive.
"Then everyone, let's go with me now."
The questioning sound exploded like thunder, but Ryan didn't reply, he looked at Zeus, and he was also looking at the source sea of the present world linked by the authority of the god-king. They all looked so powerful, yet they looked so empty.
So he walked out of the palace and stood on the top of the sacred mountain, Zeus looked to the earth.
After a moment of silence, Zeus remembered the incident.
After all, the gap between the gods in this illusory world and their real selves is as huge as the gap between the power that constructs this world and the complete Kaos, and their strength only exists in the 'setting'. The 'tricks' that Ryan had prepared were for Hermenu, and for the sake of the world, they were not practical.
Perhaps this is a near-complete destruction of the mortal ecology, but the world itself has only been weakened for a short time. Ryan could even see that without further intervention, those origins that had invaded the human world would still be squeezed out under the cycle of the world for a long time, and then reunited and combined into a new underworld in this void.
It's going to be a long time, but it's something that will happen. The power of the underworld is a part of the world, and it will be damaged by the collapse of a part of the structure, but as long as these 'materials' are still there, everything can still be repaired.
Where the black chains meet, a certain concept fluctuates slightly. It can't make a sound, but when Ryan wants to 'hear', he can still hear it.
The Underworld seems to have lost some of its original properties, and it is gradually moving closer to the ordinary 'earth'. This seems like a good thing – if you ignore another twist on it.
With a breath of relief, the hesitation in the heart of the God King dissipated.
“……”
There was a longer silence, followed by the 'click' of the chains.
The 'outsider' in his mouth is one of them, and although the Immortal still fails to realize his false nature, he still sees that Ryan does not belong to this world.
First, there were layers of gray clouds, which were lined up from the bottom to the top, as if they were separated from the heavens and the world.
When Ryan saw Zeus, the other party also saw him. And at the first moment, the God King recognized that this was the owner of the phantom a few days ago.
As for the chains that are now beginning to break...... It's not that it can't lock him up, on the contrary, it announces his end.
The black chain of [death] will only lock the living, and when the Hades irreversibly enters the end, it will naturally have no value in existence if it loses its effect.
When the chains completely disintegrate, that's when Hades dies. However, at this moment, Ryan unexpectedly found that Hades' consciousness seemed to be still very clear. Although he could no longer see the form, he could be sure that the other party was 'looking' at him, and even 'talking' something.
……
······
"The seventh day."
"Come on, just let me see what you are."
"Him...... It's already here! ”
"But that's enough...... After all, to that world, Kaos was the enemy he was fighting even now. ”
Here, there is no matter, and this is what the world was when it was first born. And standing in the void at this moment, after about to destroy a world with his own hands, Ryan also has a deeper understanding of the beginning of creation.
Maybe after completing the task he assigned, he went to play somewhere else, which is what he often does on weekdays. This was not a big deal, but now, I obviously can't take the time to wait for him.
After all, what does destroying this world have to do with them?
It should be considered ... Finished fighting? Let's take it as a moment, there will be a little description later, but not too much, and you don't need to make a fake Zeus a trick.
