Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Just as Zeus and his "military advisor" were immersed in their future plans, Hecate and Selene had just completed their own small adventure in their northwest, near the mainland.

After a short battle, Hecate easily defeated her opponent - a monster with six heads and eight legs.

The red shoes stepped on the monster's head, and Hecate raised a transparent crystal and looked at it carefully.

Under her feet, although the monster was as big as a mountain, it seemed that it could not carry her. Although it struggled desperately, it could not move.

"Have you made yourself heavier?"

Although Selene had witnessed her friend's magical witchcraft more than once in these years, she still didn't understand why.

As a god, her life essence is extremely high. But without special training, her mental strength is not very strong.

Immortal essence, authority, and divine power are the fundamental reasons why gods are superior to mortals. If these are thrown aside, Chaos's gods may not be smarter or more capable than mortals.

So naturally, the moon goddess could not see the mystery behind the witchcraft, she could only try to understand the principle from the appearance.

"No, in fact, I made it heavier."

Shaking her head, Hecate stamped her feet. The monster had no reaction to this, which seemed to prove that her own weight had not changed.

"I increased the attraction of the earth to it, and then this big guy made himself 'heavy'. There is no way, sea monsters like this don't know how to cut off the connection between themselves and the earth and fly freely in the air."

"Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of people can create such a weird life. Their aesthetics must be a bit problematic."

There is no doubt that the life in front of him is not a creation of the Silver Age. It is suspected to be the son of the ancient sea god, the descendant of the Sea Fury Phorcys.

This sea god is also called the father of sea monsters. He once gave birth to thousands of sea monsters with the Sea Danger, who had not yet been reborn and obtained the divine power of 'beauty'. These sea monsters are not gods, but they all have extraordinary power.

The one in front of him was probably the blood of the father of the sea monster several generations ago. The divine aura in him was so weak that he had no resistance to Hecate's witchcraft.

But the mortal blood in him proved that it grew like this not only because of the blood of the sea monster, but also because many mortal things in the Golden Age were strange in themselves.

"Slate, slate, do you know what this thing is?"

Raising the crystal in her hand, Hecate asked the book floating beside her in the eyes of the Moon Goddess who was not surprised.

Just like a treasure chest, no matter what she saw, the book she carried with her could give the answer.

[This is the core of an ancient star in the First Age]

[There were no star gods in that era, and few celestial bodies other than the sun and the moon emitted light]

[This one in your hand came from a powerful lightless star]

"Is it a star in the sky? It doesn't look like your sister's children at all."

Hecate pouted at Selene, who spread her hands and smiled back.

The stars in the First Age were different from those later. They did not emit light. Some were born with the god of lightless celestial bodies, and some were the residue of the earth that escaped at the beginning of creation.

Selene had heard from her mother that it was said that in that era, the Father of Heaven often enjoyed his offspring. He threw the then-powerless sun into the ocean, and because of this, the goddess of boiling water was born later. He also often smashed the symbols of the divine power of Coos, the god of lightless celestial bodies, so that many celestial bodies were broken and collapsed in that era and fell into the mortal world.

This is probably the core of an ancient star. After falling into the sea, it was accidentally discovered by the sea monster before.

Although the sea monster does not know how to use its power, its instinct tells it that this crystal containing energy is very good for it.

"Perhaps it can be made into a crystal ball. If it is used for divination, the effect must be very good."

Nodding with satisfaction, Hecate does not intend to simply extract the energy from the star core. This pure crystal can take on the power of the spirit world to the greatest extent, and thus glimpse the future.

So she put the crystal in her hand into her small bag. It is not suitable to handle it now. This ancient star core contains extraordinary power. Only special means can be used to polish it into shape without losing its essence.

"Congratulations, Hecate, you have got another treasure."

On the side, Selene gave her blessings at the right time.

She looked at Hecate's small bag with some envy. She also wanted a package that could hold a lot of things.

Unfortunately, according to Hecate, that was something that only wizards could use. At present, she has no way to let others use it.

"Thank you. By the way, Selene, how do you think about my previous suggestion?"

With a satisfied smile on her face, Hecate did not forget her friend.

In fact, a long time ago, she had proposed to teach Selene the secrets of witchcraft, but the other party seemed to have some considerations. Although she looked very tempted, she never agreed.

However, this time, thinking about the scene of being almost caught by Zeus not long ago, Hecate felt that Selene should have a different answer.

". I thought about it for a long time, Hecate. In fact, there was a reason why I rejected you before."

In Hecate's expectant eyes, Selene hesitated for a while and still spoke.

"Before you were born, my father had a conflict with the gods who dominate the spirit world because of me. If you let me access the spirit world, you may also be in danger."

"So, is this what you have been worried about all along, because you are afraid that you and I will be punished by some existence?"

Pouting indifferently, Hecate pulled the floating book beside her into her arms.

"Slate, slate, if I teach the secret of witchcraft to my friend and let her meditate with the help of the spirit world, will she be in danger?"

She didn't ask herself, because Hecate knew very well that she would not be in danger.

After all, the predecessor of the book in her hand was so similar to a legendary artifact, and the material she used to try to weave the magic network was also a spiritual string that was pure to the extreme. She was not the famous god of stupidity Epimetheus, so how could she worry about her own safety.

But she was the special one, but it didn't mean that her friends could also benefit from it. So to avoid accidents, she still asked a question.

[No, but she can only meditate around you]

[Speed ​​up the preparation for the magic net. Compared with facing the spirit world directly, it is more suitable for novices to absorb pure elements and spiritual power through the magic net]

Now, the spirit world is getting closer and closer to being completely opened, but it is still a little short of preparation. At this time, if some beings sneak in because of a random opening, it is no joke.

Moreover, facing the spirit world in July is not a necessary condition for meditation. Spiritual power is scattered among all things. As for the gods, they can temper their spirits through the way of "self-visualization" without practicing the rudimentary meditation method.

After all, the suitable one is the best. It's just that Selene is a little different.

The reason why a guy sitting on the sacred mountain of Sinai made an exception for people other than Hecate is because she is the goddess of the moon. Although it involves core interests, he will not return the concept of the moon to the other party. But in other places, he doesn't mind opening the door of convenience a little.

"I'll say it, no problem."

Not knowing the doors and doors behind it, after knowing the answer she wanted, Hecate looked at her good friend.

".Then I'll give it a try."

Although the scene of the Father God being chased by the black fog and walking away with serious injuries still echoed in her mind, now that it was confirmed, Selene's desire finally overcame her fear.

So, facing Hecate's gaze, the Moon Goddess nodded heavily.
