The hesitation was only a moment, and then the thought was taken out of Helios's mind.

While the intuition of the innate gods is indeed keen, it is not surprising that the sun god would feel this way when he asked himself.

He is now more or less a member of the Olympian lineage, and Gaia's contradictions with Zeus are well known.

Strictly speaking, the two sides are still enemies, and perhaps this is the source of the warning...... Pressing down on the uneasiness in his heart, Helios stepped into the reddish-brown circle of light.

With a flash of light, his figure disappeared in place.

……

With a sense of spatial shifting, darkness and then light returning to his eyes, Helios found himself in a huge cavern underground.

The ground is a little slippery, and there is something uncomfortable to step on it. Although he didn't know his exact location, Helios could still tell that he was no longer in Hades through the subtle changes in the laws of the environment.

He's probably back on the ground—or somewhere near the ground. However, to his surprise, he never remembered that Gaia had ever been in charge of the divine power of the space realm.

With the exception of the previous god-king Kronos, no known god has ever wielded such authority, so even the gods created by the gods have no similar abilities.

With a slight feeling in his heart, the unexpected scene in front of him couldn't help but make Helios a little worried.

"That's a long story...... It may be hard to believe, but in fact, I saw life native to the Abyss there. ”

"Hello...... It's not like the gods of Olympus would do something to me. ”

Although Mother Earth no longer needs Him, she is still haunted by the rejection she had before the Abyss. There is definitely something going on in his irrational brother, and the embarrassment of the sun god when he leaves is the best proof of this.

Coming to her alone, an enemy of Olympus, even with Gaia's judgment, he could guess that the other party might not be so obedient.

A thought crossed his mind, and Helios looked into the center of the cavern.

"What did you encounter in the abyss?"

With his eyes flickering, Helios said truthfully:

"They are numerous and hostile to outsiders. I didn't want to get into a conflict with them there, so I just walked out. ”

"Greetings, revered Mother of the Gods."

At least the exposed skin is a little more shiny, and even the hair is no longer so dry and yellow. If this is not the state that Mother Earth deliberately disguised, then the other party's strength may have greatly improved.

"You look much better, which is a great thing."

And the fact is that the reason why Gaia was interested in calling the sun god was not only interested in his experience in the abyss, but also because the other party was looking for him, and it did not seem to be instructed by Zeus.

In any case, she is also a primordial deity, and even if she loses face in front of Zeus, she will always have some hidden means. ’

Turning slightly, looking at the sun god in front of him, Gaia's voice was not enthusiastic.

There, Mother Earth was facing him.

His previous thoughts were based on Gaia's deep hatred for Zeus, but his own strength was far from enough...... But come to think of it, the sun god's movements did not stop. He took a few steps forward, then stroked his chest.

"But I've never thought of myself as an Olympian god, and I miss the days of the Titans more than I do now. Everyone knows that the new divine court is a divine system composed of Zeus's family. And I, just like them, are not in the same family. ”

The long brown dress was dotted with a few red spots, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were clearly visible. But to the surprise of the sun god, compared to the Gaia he had seen outside Mount Olympus, the one in front of him seemed to be in a much better state.

Instead of talking about the god-king for the first time, Gaia instead mentioned the existence of Tartarus.

Without concealment, Helios expressed himself very bluntly, and he believed that Mother Earth could see this as well.

"Life?"

Repeating, Gaia seemed to understand the previous reaction of the abyss.

If He already had life through some means he didn't know, he really didn't need Himself anymore...... As for the refusal to enter, that would not be surprising.

Perhaps he saw Gaia as a threat and turned her away. However, since there was a person who knew the relevant details in front of her, the Earth Mother still ordered unceremoniously.

"To be more specific, what do you see inside, and do you see Cleos?"

"If you wish, I will tell you the truth."

Nodding slightly, Helios immediately recounted what he had seen.

There are many layers, strange beings that exist in those interfaces, and various manifestations that are very different from the outside world. Nothing is like describing the abyss, but another material interface, and of course, in the end, Helios regrets that he has not seen the existence of the god of weather.

After all, the abyss is too vast, and it is difficult to find a specific god without guidance, and he is not there to find the other person. Gaia didn't doubt it, she just asked casually.

Now the conflict between her and Zeus is no longer Cleos, or the mastermind is someone else, the golden apple tree, compared to them, Zeus himself is the most intolerable existence for her.

He used his dignity to establish the authority of the god-king, so as long as he was the lord of the gods, Gaia could not sleep for a day. So at the end of Helios' narration, Gaia looks at this child of Hyperion.

Compared to his father, Helios was far less violent and fiery, like a stone that had been smoothed out and could be held in anyone's hand.

But now that he has taken the initiative to come to the door, this may prove that he also has some careful thoughts of his own? However, before that, Gaia still had to find out what contradictions he had with Zeus, and he still wanted to resist each other after seeing the power of the god king.

It was impossible for him to perceive the recent changes in himself, and even Gaia himself was surprised by it. So in the eyes of Helios, he was inferior to Zeus.

Confused, Gaia asked, and in front of her, the sun god gave an answer that didn't need to be questioned.

"Because it's not me who drives the sun today...... Mother Earth, this is the first time it has happened, and I hope it will be the last time as well. ”

"I see, you are about to be replaced by the son of Zeus, which is why you have come to seek my help?"

I didn't realize it before, and it wasn't until I was reminded by the other party that Gaia suddenly realized that although Helios was in front of him, the sun was still moving as usual.

For the gods, the violation of authority is the most unbearable for them, and it is not surprising that the other party would make this choice...... But in front of Helios, Gaia just sneered.

"Light and the sun are always together, so it is possible that he will be replaced by the son of Zeus, but you may be looking for the wrong person. I'm not Zeus's opponent, so I can't help you, and if you want my help, is there anything that can impress me? ”

"I ......"

He was speechless for a moment, but Helios then said:

"I can do things for you, after all, you always have something that you can't handle yourself. With your current relationship with Olympus, I'm afraid it's hard to find other helpers. ”

"Just like the Moon Goddess in the Underworld and the Olympus Goddess of Life, they are the mediums of the other two primordial gods in this world, and I can be your—"

"I don't need a subordinate who betrayed my father and two monarchs, and while there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and Olympus, I don't need a messenger with other intentions."

Interrupting coldly, Gaia mercilessly refused again. She meant this sentence sincerely, and in front of her, Helios tried to defend something several times, but in the end he didn't say it.

He knew that his three betrayals were actually for a reason. Hyperion kept him in the sun, fearing that the boy would compete with him for the right of the great sun; Although Cronos did not do anything to him later, in order to prevent the birth of another star master, he forced Helios to agree to cast the Helios car.

As for Zeus, he is now a direct threat to Helios's authority, but the sun god knows that even if he explains, Gaia should not pay attention to him.

Because, as Mother Earth said, the most important problem is that he is of little use to Gaia.

Helios had thought that even if it was to block Zeus, the wayward earth mother would agree to help him, but now it was obviously a little different from what he thought...... The mood was a little heavy, but the sun god smiled reluctantly and said goodbye to Gaia.

"In that case, Honorable Mother Earth, please allow me to take my leave."

Turning and walking towards the place where he had come, Helios was already thinking of something else. He couldn't sit still anyway...... However, one foot had already crossed the reddish-brown aperture, and at this moment, the voice of the Earth Mother came from behind him again.

"Wait."

"Huh?"

Turning around in confusion, Helios didn't know what Gaia was trying to say. And facing the puzzled gaze of the sun god, Gaia said lightly:

"I'm not going to help you...... Helios, but maybe you can help yourself yourself. ”

"I have my own things to do now, and I don't have time to pay attention to earthly things. Zeus will pay for his hubris, but by no means today. But if you have the power to make Zeus jealous, then his son will not be a threat to your position. ”

"But I don't have that power."

Speaking slowly, but listening to Gaia's words, an anticipation rose in Helios's heart. Mother Earth wouldn't say such things for no reason, since she did......

"You can have it."

Not to disappoint Helios, Gaia just smiled. The next moment, some kind of concealment power was withdrawn by her.

In an instant, everything in front of the sun god changed dramatically. He was no longer in a cave, but a cocoon of flesh and blood; The slippery ground beneath his feet was not stone, but an ovid full of life.

Through the transparent diaphragm, Helios could see a hundred-headed being swimming in it, and everything seemed so strange...... But after the trip to the abyss, his acceptance of these has already risen by more than one level. And in all these changes, only Gaia itself has not changed.

She was still wearing the long brown dress, but the few red spots had turned into crystal branches that had been rooted inside. They shimmered and pulsated like veins, as if they were sending something into Mother Earth's body. Whenever they enter a part, Gaia feels a little thicker.

"Not now, but you can have it, as long as you're willing to take it."

In front of the sun god, Gaia snapped a branch like a red crystal from his body and threw it in the direction of Helios.

Even without her body, this branch still seems to be alive. Tiny wisps of whiskers hung from it, swaying in the air as if searching for something.

"It's a poison for mortals, but it's only a tonic for the gods."

Not lying, Gaia really thought so.

The power from the outer gods is indeed powerful and corrosive, and even has an effect on the spiritual existence of the owner. But under the protection of the laws of the world, it did not affect Gaia's sanity in the slightest.

In any case, she is the cornerstone of the present world, the original primordial deity. As long as nothing happens in this world itself, then she will be fine—I think Helios should be the same.

"Plant it in you, use yourself as a medium, and let its power strengthen the sun."

"Hyperion is the primordial sun, but you are not, for the sun was born with him, but you were born of the sun. But if you can give the sun a new concept, then maybe you will have the same authority as him...... At that point, there will be no one to replace you. ”

“……”

After a moment of silence, Helios' expression changed slightly.

"So what will I give? If I take the initiative to be parasitic on the divine body by this thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it anymore. ”

"Yes, but your promise is not guaranteed."

Gaia felt good about having this kind of experience of directing others instead of being instructed for the first time, so she said more.

"There's only one thing I've asked you to do...... The day when my son attacks Olympus, you will join him and make Zeus pay. ”

"And when that day comes, maybe when he loses his throne, you can also try to become a god-king, just like your father once wanted to do."

In Gaia's heart, she is now the partner of the [Flesh and Blood Mother Tree], and the other party's wisdom is obviously not high, and even restricted, so everything in this world is naturally in charge of himself.

Three generations of god kings have made her have had enough of all this, and it would not be bad if she could give birth to a god king under her control.
