Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Standing in the fourth spiritual world, Kronos recalled the previous conversation and was once again amazed by the wild ideas of the ancient god in front of him.

It can be confirmed that prophecy cannot do this. Kronos today is no longer the same as he was ten thousand years ago. He has his own understanding of the present world, destiny, and everything. He knows very well what prophecy can do and what it cannot do.

But from another perspective, he also realized that Ryan had never relied on the so-called "prophecy" to see his destiny, but used some other methods.

However, this added another layer of mystery to the other party. The unknown is always more terrifying than the known.

"If I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have known that when we were fighting for life and death, you still had time to do something here-art?"

"Haha, was my behavior to my father like a performance in your eyes, the kind that was specially used to make you laugh."

Looking at the scroll that was still being "burned" on the ground, Kronos laughed at himself.

Before, he was in this kind of flame, and the part floating on the "surface" was burned, and then he watched Ryan "put" that part on his body.

What is left in front of him now is just a special incarnation.

"Very vivid. If it wasn't me, I might have thought of collecting it."

It was a fair evaluation. Although it was "burning" on the ground, the content of the scroll was clearly visible.

Uranus, the father of heaven, was pierced through the chest, but his expression was gentle and kind. He seemed to be whispering, like a kind father teaching his children the truth.

Opposite him, he held a sickle in his hand, his face full of shock and anger, and the expressions of the Titans were different. At the bottom of the picture, the cracks in the earth were like human faces, which symbolized the mother earth who had been fighting against the sky.

This scroll recorded the end of the first generation of God Kings, and now, the "fire" ignited by it buried the second generation of God Kings.

No matter what he was like, at least "God King Kronos" was "dead".

"This power is [Death], right? With the 'death' of a god king, it can probably support a medium-level god now?"

After all, it is only half dead now, so the rise of the concept of death has not reached its end. Feeling that power, Kronos seemed to see the end of all spirits.

Of course, this does not include the gods, and it cannot affect the root of the immortality of the true gods. But at this moment, he remembered the only mistake in his life.

Like the life that he called demigod, it can probably be easily erased from existence.

"Yes. Chaos' world is terribly deformed in some aspects, such as life and death."

Nodding, Ryan stretched out his hand and pulled out a black power.

That was the [Death] that the spirit world had absorbed long ago, and he threw them into the flames on the ground. The flames jumped for a while, and then burned more fiercely.

"Let's get started," he said, "I'll get what I want, and you'll get the hope of a new life, and then we'll start the biggest adventure of this era together."

"Is an incarnation also an adventure?"

Kronos replied lightly, and walked forward slowly.

"Of course it counts as an incarnation that contains part of my essence. If I get stuck in it, I'll have a headache for a long time."

He responded casually, and the power of the spiritual world was concentrated and added to the black fire in front of him.

In front of Ryan, the former 'King of Time and Space' stepped into the flames of death. The changes that were half done before began to continue.

If the other party is unwilling, even if he has unparalleled power in the spiritual world, Ryan can't do anything to an immortal true god. This is established by the rules when Chaos was born. But when the other party actively cooperates, under the status of great divine power, a trace of wonderful things begins to peel off from Kronos.

That is his past, his existence, his priesthood, and the world of Chaos, which is everything left to him by the father and mother of heaven and earth as the identity of 'Cronus'. Every time they peeled off, the former God King's presence decreased, and the burning black fire became more vigorous.

Death is weak, because in Chaos, the gods are immortal. But when a true immortal slowly stepped into "death", its power continued to rise.

From the ankles to the knees, then spread to the waist, neck, and over the head. The black fire burning on [Death of the God King] became more and more blazing, wrapping up Kronos's entire body.

Until a certain moment, as if it had lost fuel, all the black fires gradually extinguished. Only a black multi-faceted crystal remained in place.

In the previous process, the source of time and space had already merged into the world, and the boundary space of the seven-layer interface was more stable. And at the core of the spirit world, a mirror that had already taken shape suddenly rose several times. Next to it, the origin of time shook once or twice, but ultimately did not condense into one.

Just as Ryan underestimated the original god before, he also underestimated the complete [Artifact of Creation]. This holy object of time needs an opportunity to be born.

Of course, from another perspective, it is appropriate that he said at the end of the last era that this holy object symbolizing [time] needs one or two eras to be nurtured.

"Pah--"

On the other side, after losing all its power and the black fire extinguished, a somewhat blurred scroll fell to the ground. Its material has been changed, and after experiencing a fate and a cycle, its "symbolism" in some aspects has been enhanced. But after the previous burning, it no longer has the power of a divine artifact.

But Ryan created it for today. The scroll that witnessed him personally ending the previous God King can naturally end himself.

If there is no special symbol of fate, it would be difficult for the weak "death" to do all this.

"Compared to that, you are more like the real "secret" now."

"Because your existence itself has been forgotten by all things."

At this time, in the fourth spiritual world, the former God King seemed to have been burned to death. But from Ryan's perspective, Kronos is still there. It's just that now what constitutes him is only the immortal source of the gods.

That is the essence that Ryan can't understand so far, which comes from Chaos himself, who is stronger than the great power. In the words of the previous life, this supreme essence exists and does not exist. It is neither dirty nor clean, neither born nor destroyed, neither increasing nor decreasing.

"Congratulations, you have completed the first step of regaining a new life."

Walking forward, picking up the scroll covered with burn marks, Ryan spread it out. Indistinctly, the figure of Kronos in the painting became somewhat uncertain.

So he threw in the existence of Kronos, who did not involve power, to re-enrich the figure in the painting, and then threw the scroll aside.

But in the fourth layer of the spiritual world, time and space were still chaotic and disordered, and only the light cocoon around Ryan and the three gods was dominated by order. So in the chaotic time and space of the spiritual world, this painting that had lost its power was just a flash, and no one knew where it fell.

"When will we set off."

No sound came, but Ryan "heard" Kronos' words. Nowadays, only those who are close to great divine power can notice the former God King who has lost everything.

Ryan can sense the other party's urgency, just like a guest who has paid in full, even if he knows that the other party is unlikely to breach the contract, he is still a little uneasy.

This has nothing to do with identity and state of mind, after all, he paid everything.

"Don't worry, I still have some things that I haven't prepared."

Reaching out and grabbing, in an instant, the power of the spiritual world enveloped most of Chaos's appearance. Following the subtle connection with the spirit, Ryan directly locked his target.

After so many years, except for a few dangerous places, such as around the original god, or the edge of the sea, the end of the starry sky, the surface of the spirit world has covered almost all places.

So under the influence of the Lord of the Spirit World, the invisible power spread out. All the dead silver human souls were collected, turned into a ball of light, and fell into Ryan's hands. Only a very few humans who survived the battle of the gods escaped.

But this may not be a good thing. After all, being taken away by Ryan may not have a bad end, but the humans left on the earth will definitely be liquidated by the new king.

"Some souls can be used to give you a preview to verify the feasibility of my idea."

"If it succeeds in the end, I will simply leave these sinful souls to you. I think you can make them bow to you, right."

With a slight smile, Ryan had no idea of ​​using the power of the spirit world to decompose and digest the souls of the two generations of gold and silver humans.

As he said before, simply harvesting souls as seeds is too rough. Continuous circulation is the right way.

But since the first two generations of humans could not reproduce, the matter of circulation should fall to their successors.

"Of course, I will keep the souls of some mortals honest."

Some people have bad intentions. Although these humans have no direct hatred with themselves, they are the symbol of the hostility between the Earth Mother and themselves. Moreover, the sinful breath on their souls is clearly visible in the special environment of the spiritual world.

Kronos promised that no matter how "rebellious" these guys are, he has many ways to teach them what obedience is.

"Then let's go."

"I am a little looking forward to it. If it weren't for the master of spirituality, the main body of "consciousness" in me is unified, I really don't dare to go with you."

Taking a well water from the [Well of Origin], Ryan took a step out and disappeared into the fourth level of the spiritual world with the illusory Kronos.

So this level of the spiritual world became quiet again, with only three light cocoons of pregnant gods and [Death] with a body of powerful divine power still swaying slowly in the void.

······

Just as Ryan absorbed the silver human soul, the dark lord Erebus, who was standing at the border of the lightless domain, moved his expression.

He raised his right foot and was about to step out. The entire lightless domain was shaking with his actions. As long as he wanted, the entire underworld would be separated in front of the original god, and he would personally test the depth of the "God King".

But the next moment, Erebus stopped again. Because he found that the part of his power left in the silver human soul was not touched by anyone.

They still stayed in the soul well, neither discovered by anyone, nor in contact with the root of the spirit world.

"Huh - can't be impatient."

"I've waited for tens of thousands of years, let alone just a little while. Let him do some useless work first. What's the point of showing off his power in front of some weak people?"

His eyes changed for a moment, and then returned to normal, and he continued to sit and watch the changes. Erebus could actually see that the fight between that figure and the gods was just a superficial appearance. In fact, he was testing the tolerance of the rules of the world in some way.

But this does not prevent the Lord of Darkness from secretly mocking him. After all, he knows that the other party will soon discover that there is no tolerance for the rigid world. In other words, His tolerance is zero tolerance.

My sister still doesn’t understand this truth. Even though Gaia itself is one of the cornerstones of the present world, when she walks in the world as half a great person, she is still constantly divided and weakened.

Even if he couldn't see the trajectory of his destiny, Erebus could guess that this weakening would not end until Gaia was completely dispelled from the great divine power or returned to its true form.

"My dear sister is like this, let alone you?"

"Of course, you're not under His control, so He can't influence you directly, but He can reject you, just like He rejected me."

He smiled lightly, but the Lord of Darkness knew that the magical uses of the God King's authority were actually more than that, otherwise he would not have been so impressed by it before. It's just that this effect is more aimed at the spiritual world, rather than an individual.

But now Erebus doesn't have a world of his own, so he doesn't envy this role very much.

Continuing to stand at the edge of the realm, feeling the darkness that separated him, Erebus waited quietly. Until he sensed that they appeared in a familiar yet unfamiliar place not far from him.

"Tartarus, I am actually quite curious about what is inside my ignorant brother."

"Let me see what you are going to do."

Frowning slightly, that part of the soul was brought into the abyss, which was undoubtedly beyond the expectation of the Lord of Darkness. Inside, although he could still feel his own power, it was more passive.

He can still know what they have experienced, but most likely after it happens, and there may be a small delay.

But how Silver Human's soul will be dealt with is beyond his control. So Erebus had no unnecessary reaction. He just put his hands behind his back and waited silently.

······

At the same time, on the earth.

The power of the God King is a manifestation of the blessings of this world. Others may not see the problem, but the world itself is difficult to be deceived.

So in 'Cronus', this power is constantly passing away every minute and every second. Even if nothing is done, it will last up to seven days.

So in order to allow the power of the God King, which was intertwined with the order of the world, to last a little longer, 'Cronos' moved his heart and opened a distant blockade.

For a moment, the power to maintain the seal returned, and the aura around him immediately stabilized.

Nodding with satisfaction, 'Cronus' looked in front of him. He gently exerted force with his right hand, and the gods, who were still struggling to support themselves, were suddenly pressed to the ground inch by inch. The thunder and lightning transformed by the divine power and the ocean hit the giant hand, but could not shake it at all.

"Gaia, we are such an old friend."

Looking up, in the east of the earth, yellow light illuminates the sky, which is a sign that Mother Earth is coming.

Compared to Zeus, who is far from reaching his peak, this primitive god who has also not declined to the limit is an opponent worthy of facing up to.

"That's interesting. The current Zeus is nothing more than that. If you want to make the world feel the 'threat' from the gods, he alone is not enough."

With a slight snort, 'Cronos' figure swayed. The next moment, as the power of time and space surged, a virtual phase connecting heaven and earth rose up.

The sky is above your head, and the earth is your feet. The sacred mountains are just the weeds beside our legs, and the mountains and rivers are just the ants in front of us. After adapting to the new perspective, the huge virtual phase energy moved, facing the Earth Mother from a distance.

"Who are you?"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Gaia clenched her teeth, and she once again confirmed her guess. Cronus was replaced by someone else, and in the induction of the earth, the breath of his youngest son could not be found anywhere else.

Lion or Erebus, the only two people who could possibly do such a thing. At this moment, Gaia began to regret again, why she believed her brother's lies.

What is aimed at the silver humans in the spiritual world may be just like the prophecy said, this is completely poison aimed at the God King.

But in front of her, 'Cronus' didn't care what she was thinking.

He just bent down slightly, and the sea of ​​clouds was pushed away one by one. Looking at his nominal 'Mother Goddess' at the moment, 'Cronos' said lightly.

"Who am I? Don't you see clearly enough, Gaia? I am the God King, the supreme ruler who rules the sky, the earth and the sea."

"Of course, if you are willing to call me by my first name, it doesn't matter."

The giant phantom raised his head and looked in the direction of the starry sky. It seemed that as he unlocked the seal, some unexpected changes occurred there.

But that doesn't make sense. In the past, the owner of the sun was still a rival, but now, the sun itself is just a toy.

So he looked at Mother Earth, at the gods, and at all the beings who were supposed to be loyal to the God King.

Since he is now the God King, he should say what a God King should say.

"Praise my name, my foolish subjects."

The supreme power gathered together and spread to the world along with his voice.

"I am Cronus, the Lord of Time and Space!"

The power condensed to the extreme is swirling around the huge virtual phase, like a silver-white light belt. The next moment, 'Kronos' clenched his hands and hammered hard towards the earth.

Nothing fancy, this is the collision between status and power. The vast and endless khaki halo firmly blocked in front of him. Facing this overwhelming blow, Gaia and the earth merged into one, and the authority of the original god was undoubtedly revealed.

The world seemed to be silent for a moment. When two forces beyond the powerful divine power collided together, the void began to collapse, and the aftermath shook the gods back. Gaia was slightly inferior after all, so with her position as the midpoint, the earth sank and formed a huge basin. Countless mountain gods and river gods returned to dust in an instant, but this was not the end.

In the horrified eyes of the gods, the illusory figure who had just created all this took a step back under the force of the recoil and collided with the towering mountain.

The next moment, Mount Odiles, the highest mountain in the world and the closest to the sky, slowly collapsed to the northwest after a violent tremor.

I saw from the backstage that people didn’t like the part about the Sun God fighting. Maybe I’m not good at it. But the fighting is not the main point, so I just wrote a little bit about it. This is why I skipped the Titan War before. (Finally, don’t ask me where the second chapter is. The two chapters are combined. These chapters at the end of the era are not suitable for separation.)
