Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Half a year later, on Mount Odilus.

It was as quiet as ever, except that there were few nymphs playing in the woods of the sacred mountain.

In the palace behind, Zeus, disguised as a human waiter, picked up a tray. He walked slowly around the table, put the wine and fruits on the platter, and then walked towards the front hall.

His steps were steady, not like he was about to face a critical turning point in his life. Just like an ordinary day, he walked through two corridors, paused slightly at the side door of the front hall, and then strode into the palace.

There were no dancing nymphs in the hall, and there was no extra existence. In fact, Kronos never needed these. Except for a mistake many years ago, he had never pursued material desires. In his heart, letting all spirits live under the order he set was far more satisfying to him than material enjoyment.

Unfortunately, the world never gave him this opportunity.

So he sat alone on a high chair, drinking glass after glass of wine in a dull manner, which was a habit he had gradually acquired in recent years.

"Is this my father?"

He caught a glimpse of Kronos's appearance from the corner of his eye. This was the first time Zeus had seen his father.

They looked very similar, both tall and heroic, but unlike Zeus, Kronos had a layer of majesty accumulated over the years and a faint sense of dullness.

Zeus knew that was the reason why his father was troubled by prophecies and curses. Even to this day, he still didn't believe in his heart that fate was really postponed.

But he didn't find the problem, so he had to use external objects to soothe his mood.

"Bring it up."

With a frown on his brows, Kronos looked at Zeus in front of him. Slightly drunk, he didn't distinguish the true identity of the person in front of him, or rather, he didn't recognize that this was his child.

After all, his only impression of Zeus was the stone wrapped in cloth.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Bending slightly, Zeus poured the prepared wine into the cup and presented it on a tray.

He was very nervous, but his hands were steady and did not shake at all. No matter what kind of person Kronos was, at this moment, he was just Zeus' enemy.

So, under the gaze of Zeus, Kronos drank the special wine, just like he drank every glass of wine before.

······

In the sky of Chaos, Helios drove the sun car and patrolled the sky as usual.

The sun was at its zenith, and he should have been at the top of the mountain and the center of the continent. But due to the authority of the God King, he always avoided it.

But today was different from the past. When he slightly pulled the Pegasus transformed by the golden flame, turned the car head, and tried to bypass a distance, a vast breath of divine power suddenly came from under him.

It was very abrupt, but very familiar, so that Helios immediately realized that it was the power of the God King.

And he clearly sensed that the indiscriminate force was surging towards him.

Boom --

Bang --

The roar of the divine power and the sound of the sun chariot being hit sounded almost at the same time. The chariot was almost knocked over, and the sun behind it fell to the ground.

"What happened?"

Helios was frightened and sweated as he tried his best to stabilize the sun chariot. With the existence of the Earth Mother, even if the chariot overturned, the sun would definitely not really hit the ground, but it would undoubtedly create a big trouble for himself.

Fortunately, this impact was not aimed at him. When the chariot was stabilized, the sun god quickly stuck his head out and looked down.

Around the cloudless mountain, he only saw six streams of light flying out of the palace on the mountain. Before he could identify it, the next moment, the figure of the king of gods also stepped out of the palace.

His expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and not far behind him, the queen of gods Rhea watched this scene. A frozen atmosphere formed between the two, but Kronos remained silent in the end.

Time and space surged around him, and in the heavy atmosphere, the God King stretched out his right hand. It seemed infinitely large, and it seemed infinitely small. Distance lost its meaning in front of him, and he just grabbed the six figures fleeing madly in front of him.

"Do you really think you can get away? Even if someone helps you, I can-"

"Gaia, how dare you!"

The big hand transformed from the void crossed over, but was blocked by a suddenly rising khaki light curtain. The Earth Mother did not come in person, so this barrier could not stop him for long, but it did not need to be permanent.

Gaia's goal was only Zeus. The earth began to fluctuate, and the hard soil and rocks seemed to turn into waves, which lifted the six light shadows and retreated rapidly. In the distance, Urya, the god of the mountains, was waiting there.

"Kronos, no one wants to see a God King who rules everything. You are too impatient."

A heavy voice came. Uriah did not wait for the God King to take the initiative to attack him, but intervened in the dispute first.

"So," Kronos said indifferently with an increasingly cold expression: "Do you think my son will be a king who does not covet power and rules by doing nothing?"

Faced with the questioning of the God King, Uriah gave an unexpected answer.

"I don't think so. Wanting to control everything may be a common problem of the God King. Uranus is like this, you are like this, and the next generation of God Kings may also repeat your path, but that is all in the future and has nothing to do with me."

"I have made a decision. Perhaps as the source of all mountains, I should not interfere too much in the world. Let me turn into a rock from now on and avoid the disputes in this world."

"But before that, in order to "repay" your oppression of me over the years, I will leave a gift for your child."

The voice of the King of Mountains was heavy and powerful, but it became smaller and smaller. His divine body emitted light, gradually expanded, and turned into another sacred mountain in the east of the continent. And he himself disintegrated into thousands of rocks and no longer showed any trace.

When the new high mountains appeared, Kronos instantly found that his perception of the eastern land was completely blocked.

With Uriya's behavior of injuring 800 enemies and injuring 3,000 himself, even his divine power was slightly affected. But things were irreversible. The God King was silent for a while and turned to look at the Earth Mother.

As the God King, he ruled the starry sky, but the star field still had their masters. Even if he dominates the earth in the future, it will not affect Gaia's authority as the mother of the earth. He only needs to rule, without affecting their divine duties. So Kronos can understand Gaia's creation of humans, because his offspring split the other party's divine power, but now, he doesn't know why the other party must stand on the side of his six children.

In the final analysis, they are the gods who have usurped the authority of the mother of the earth. Even if they don't help themselves, why should they help the other party?

"Kronos, I won't stop you all the time, and I don't care who is the king of the gods."

The green skirt is gone, and a figure in yellow slowly emerges in front of the king of gods. As she said, in this battle between the kings of gods, Gaia actually did not take sides.

"But the premise is that I want your children to do what you should do for me. Now, I can't defeat you, but no one on earth can defeat me."

In front of the king of gods, Gaia's power belonging to the original god spread out, but it is not as strong as it used to be. In other words, the earth itself is still strong, and it is its personified incarnation that is weak.

But even so, Kronos could not break through this barrier in a short time. Although what Gaia said was exaggerated, it was only the other two primitive gods who could defeat the Earth Mother, who was so weak.

In the perception of the God King, two powerful auras were approaching in the distant east.

That was the Ocean God couple. Zeus's plan was successful, and they did not intend to wait and see. With their help, Kronos knew that it would be difficult for him to keep his children today anyway.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, he did not try to reconcile with the Earth Mother and agree to release the giants. Today, releasing the giants in his own way has almost become a way for Gaia to vent his emotions.

Unless Kronos is willing to completely bow to the other party, admit his mistakes, and hope that the Mother Goddess can forgive his past, the other party will not stop. But just like Gaia wanted to vent, the anger of the God King was also rising, but it was difficult to vent.

Among the Chaos gods, few really regard the giants in the abyss as their own kind, and Kronos is not an exception. In the universal cognition, what Gaia did today is tantamount to abandoning a child for a pet.

Even the status of the hundred-armed giant is not as good as that of a pet.

"Ten years."

So in Gaia's eyes, he slowly said:

"Ten years later, if you still stand in my way, I will never stop again."

"If fate is destined for me to fail, then I will also make everyone pay the price in the end!"

Kronos spoke seriously, as if he was ready to lose both with Gaia. But only he himself knew why he had to wait for these ten years.

If there was no way to go, he would definitely fight hard at this moment without hesitation.

"Okay."

Facing the threat of the God King, Gaia decisively agreed to it in the face of Kronos's threat. Ten years is enough for Zeus to go to the abyss. After that, it is his own business and has nothing to do with her.

Just as Kronos had thought before, his six children were the gods who directly seized the power of the Earth Mother, and in Chaos, the grandfather and grandchildren were almost like strangers.

Gaia had no opinion on Zeus himself. But she didn't like his brothers and sisters either.

Let Zeus help her release the giants, and as for the rest, let them solve it themselves.
