Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

Then, Zeus took a step forward, and the lightning flashed before disappearing.

Hades, Poseidon, and the gods also dispersed.

"Zeus said that brothers should not kill each other. He likes peace, but in fact, that is not the case at all..." Yang Qi thought to himself.

"His greatest fear is that Hades and Poseidon will join forces to deal with him."

"Hades and Poseidon hate each other as they are now, which is exactly what he wants."

…

In the temple where the Queen of the Underworld lives.

The empty hall contained only a long ornate table, with a candle lit on the table.

But if you enter the light of candles, wander in the endless corridors, get lost in the mirrors that reflect each other, and move forward in the room full of silver spoons, you will come to the castle.

Pushing open the door of the castle, there is a small room.

In the small room, Hades sat on his gorgeous throne, closing his eyes and meditating.

The Queen of Hades sat beside him.

Opposite are Thanatos, the God of Death, and the dragon.

Styx, the god of the river Styx, was not invited to this secret meeting because the Queen of Hades knew that she was not loyal.

"It turns out that the goddess Metis was actually under the control of Hera and suffered a lot of torture." The Queen of the Underworld murmured to herself.

The dragon told the gods of the underworld what he knew.

The God of Death muttered, "The goddess Themis is noble and upright, and will not tolerate any injustice. She will definitely take action to seek justice for Metis."

"On one side, there is Themis, the most powerful goddess in Olympus, the second wife of Zeus, the goddess of law."

"On one side, there is Hera, the highest-status goddess in Olympus, Zeus's wife, the Queen of Gods."

"How would Zeus react?"

The gods were silent for a moment, and the Queen of the Underworld slowly said: "Maybe she will side with Themis."

"The Divine Court relies on law to operate. Losing Themis means the collapse of the law itself, and the Divine Court will fall into chaos."

"This is why, after Zeus established the Divine Court, his second wife was Themis."

Thanatos nodded, "I think so too."

"My child, what do you think?" asked the Queen of Hades.

In private, the Queen of Hades has always called the giant dragon a baby, even though the dragon is now 30,000 meters long.

But in public, the Queen of Hades usually calls the dragon "my child" or "son of the underworld."

The dragon thought for a while and said: "The goddess Themis is indeed very important. However, Zeus will definitely stand on Hera's side."

"He will never give Metis his freedom."

"Why?"

"Because...the Titan Curse."

As soon as the four words "Titan Curse" were spoken, they were like a heavy stone, pressing into the hearts of the gods, and they all remained silent.

"The first generation of god-king Uranus, he buried the twelve Titans in the earth and prevented them from being born."

"The second generation god-king Cronus, he swallowed all his children."

"God King Zeus, he seems to have solved this knot, and he allowed his child to be born. But that is only on the surface. Deep down, he still has doubts."

"He will not give Metis her freedom. The reason is not Metis herself. It is her child."

When he met with Hera, the dragon only glanced at Metis in the distance.

With just one glance, the dragon could feel what kind of power Metis had within his body!

Surging power of wisdom, great fighting power, beauty that is almost Aphrodite, and the power of a king!

The dragon said: "The child Metis will give birth to... is really too good."

"That excellence became a curse, weighing on Zeus's heart and making him fearful."

"He is afraid that the son of God born to Metis will be the next generation of God-King, the God-King who will replace him and kill him!"

"A child that is not allowed to be born because it is too good." The Queen of Hades murmured to herself, "Zeus just wants to prevent the birth of the child, so..."

"So, he will definitely eat Metis alive." The dragon said.

"God King...my father." The Queen of the Underworld felt a little lonely. She shook her head gently, "I...can't believe it."

"My wife."

Hades, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The son of Hades was right."

"Blood will be sprinkled on the hall, and Themis will fall in a pool of blood."

"Metis will scream miserably, groan in pain, and finally be eaten by Zeus in despair."

"Because that child is so good..." Hades said slowly.

"So good. Potential beyond me, beyond Poseidon, beyond Zeus."

The Queen of Hades couldn't believe it, and she asked softly: "Is there really such an outstanding son of God?"

"Is that Son of God a male god or a goddess?"

"It will be a goddess." Hades said.

"Athena." The dragon thought in his heart, "Can I still see you?"

…

The secret meeting ended and the dragon returned to the palace where he lived.

During the secret meeting, they discussed possible conflicts at the dinner of the gods and strategies to deal with them, including whether to create humans and how to select the twelve main gods.

Hades would agree to the creation of humans because it is indeed in Hades' interests.

Regarding the issue of the twelve main gods, Hades will try his best to fight for opportunities in the underworld and cannot let the descendants of Zeus occupy all the positions.

I believe Poseidon is the same, he definitely wants Triton to become a member of the twelve main gods.

Yang Qi sat in the middle of the temple, summoned a lot of divine power, wrapped himself tightly, and finally used the power of rest to hide everything.

He thought to himself: "Hades and Poseidon will interfere in the selection of the twelve main gods. I have a chance."

"I don't know exactly how the selection will be done...but after all, we need enough strength."

Yang Qi opened the panel and checked the data.

There are a total of one hundred and eighty-two combinations of the fourteen divine powers.

【Seventy-One】The First Dragon King Sacrifice

Sacrifice yourself with the blood of the disobedient dragon. It will evolve after sacrificing 100,000 dragons.

【Seventy-two】The final roar of the Dragon King

Let out the final roar of the Dragon King and summon all the dragons in Olympus to come and fight for you.

You still have huge potential.

On the road of evolution, you still have not reached the end.

This is the last sentence of the review.

…

After reading it, Yang Qi let out a breath.

Since his evolution, he has gone to explore the secrets of the mass death of creatures in the underworld, met with Bea, taken care of Ryuko, and participated in the feast.

On the way, I was never idle and had a heart-to-heart talk with the Queen of the Underworld.

Finally got some time to take a look at the data.

Yang Qi read it carefully again.

The second level of heart, the third level of dragon wings, the fourth level of dragon pupils, these are nothing, I know it well.

"There are also these two moves...the initial Dragon King's sacrifice, and the final Dragon King's roar."

"The former is to make those dragons surrender to me, the latter..."

A picture appeared in Yang Qi's mind. From the top of the sky to the abyss, countless giant dragons soared into the sky and flew towards him.

Summon all dragons to fight to the death for you.

"This is my strongest move...there is nothing stronger than this."

"He is the Dragon King after all."

"But after using this move, I will also die. It can be regarded as the last trump card."

"There is also this feature, Dragon's Limit."

"No wonder my power has continued to increase recently, but my size has stopped increasing. If I want to continue to grow in size, I need to break through the ranks."

"I am now thirty thousand meters long..." Yang Qi turned around and looked at his tail.

"It is one hundred thousand meters long, one million meters long, and finally, it is as huge as the universe and can swallow the world. What is the concept of that..."

"The two final evolutionary potentials have not changed, but the ratio has changed."

[Destruction and Creation-World Devouring Dragon], probability: 30%.

[Dream of the Sky and the Universe - Dragon of Chant], probability: 70%.

"I remember that before, both odds were 50%. Now, it's moving in the second direction."

"This is normal...the first direction is based on [devour]. But for a long time, I haven't actually devoured much."

"My main source of divine power comes from the [Insubstantial Pearl], and I continue to absorb the divine power of dreams. Therefore, my ultimate evolutionary potential is increasingly directed towards [Dream of the Sky and the Universe - Dragon of Chant]."

"Is this good..."

Of these two ultimate evolutionary goals, Yang Qi has never been sure which one to pursue.

There was nothing else, so Yang Qi continued reading until he saw the [Move List].

"It's so exaggerated... seventy-two moves in total."

"I remember that at the beginning, Green Light Tide was my strongest move. Later, Dream Sky Thunder was my strongest move."

"Then... probably when I was fighting in the deepest part of the underworld? King's Circle Fire is my strongest move."

"Now, these three moves are nothing, just ordinary..."

Yang Qi shook his head helplessly. He wanted to try every move again to see how powerful it was and what changes there were, but there were too many.

I tried to come here one by one, I don’t know how long it took.

"We'll talk about it later when we have time. Or just test it in actual combat."

"With the Queen of Hades and Hades backing me up, I guess not many gods would dare to fight me to the death. Not even Poseidon can do that today."

Finally, Yang Qi's eyes fell on the last two sentences.

[You still have huge potential. 】

[On the road of evolution, you still have not reached the end. 】

This seemed like nonsense, but for some reason Yang Qi felt touched in his heart.

"Yes...the road of evolution is not over yet. I am already the Dragon King, but I have not reached the end yet..."

"The end of evolution...the evolution beyond [World Devouring Dragon] and [Dream of the Sky and Universe - Dragon of Chant]..."

"They must exist."

Yang Qi felt that the scales all over his body were opening, and then bright emotional stones named "expectation", "desire", "dream" and "ambition" were falling like rain.

Yang Qi regained his composure.

He closed the data, and there was only a blurry line of small words left in front of him.

"Current Simulation Opportunity: One."

"The simulation opportunity you've been waiting for."

Yang Qi thought about past simulation experiences in his mind.

"In my last simulation, I cleared a small dungeon called [Monster's Lair] and gained the ability to speed up simulation recovery."

"Also before, I cleared the [Flower and Sword Fountain] mini-dungeon and gained the ability to maintain the current form without starting from the lizard."

"If you pass the dungeon, you can get all the rewards. Otherwise, you can only choose one reward."

"When simulating, be sure to try your best to clear the dungeon. This is a priority."

"A place to go this time..."

Yang Qi made a list in his mind.

1. The red moon and stars in the sky that I saw when I was born.

Second, in the north, there is a huge river that can swallow up all living beings.

Three, the south, the castle guarded by the dragon.

Four, surrounded by the mirror lake, the magic tower in the lake.

5. The garden guarded by angels.

"I don't know much about any place."

"So from a success rate perspective, it's the same everywhere."

"Then this is it."

Yang Qi made up his mind, "Go to the garden guarded by angels."

The simulation begins!
