Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

"Eat."

The snake used its tail to roll down the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and handed it to Adam.

"Eat."

The snake stared at Adam with its erect, cold eyes.

Snake's tone was full of temptation.

Eve was afraid and hid behind her husband, not daring to look at the snake.

"..." Adam took the bright red forbidden fruit.

He shook his head.

"I can't eat it. Because God has told me that if I eat it I will die."

The snake said: "You will not necessarily die. Because if you eat this fruit, your eyes will become bright, and you will be able to distinguish good from evil like a god."

Snake was right. Because in the records, Adam and Eve who ate the forbidden fruit did not die, and could really distinguish good from evil.

Adam threw the forbidden fruit to the ground, "I can't eat it. How could I go against God's will."

He took Eve and left the woods and continued to roam in the Garden of Eden.

Only the silhouette of the snake is left, alone on the tree of good and evil. It jumped into the tree and disappeared.

…

In the distance, there is a pure white tower, with four flaming swords surrounding the tower, spinning constantly.

The angel stands on the top of the tower, with twelve pairs of wings behind him, his golden armor shines brightly, and he holds a cross-shaped sword that looks like silver and blood intertwined.

The angel is great because he is the most like God.

Archangel Milga.

Just now, everything that happened in the Garden of Eden was watched by him.

"God, why is this?" Milga thought in his heart.

"You are all-knowing and all-powerful. How could you not know that the snake was constantly tempting Adam and Eve?"

"Is this your special arrangement?"

Milga muttered, "Do you want them to fall?"

Milega watched the Garden of Eden for a long time. He saw the snake trying to make Adam and Eve fall countless times, but Adam and Eve always refused to fall.

This made him suspicious. But his suspicion only lasted for a few breaths, and then turned into drifting smoke and disappeared.

Milcah was loyal to God and never questioned any of God's decisions.

But there was an angel who questioned God.

Light emerged, and a figure appeared in front of Milga.

Like Milga, he wore golden armor, but he was more godlike than Milga.

There is a pair of bright red demon wings behind his back, and he holds an inverted cross-shaped sword in his hand.

There was a huge wound on his abdomen. There were countless squirming blood vessels and maggots in the wound. A man's face flickered in and out of the wound.

Archangels, fallen angels, the demon king named Satan, Lucifer.

"Bright star, son of the morning, have you finally fallen from the sky and crawled out from the lowest depths?" Milega was not surprised at all by Lucifer's appearance. He still looked at the Garden of Eden and whispered softly .

"Why are you, the one who conquered all nations, cut down to the ground?"

"You will surely descend again into Hades and rot in the depths of the pit."

Facing Michael's curse, Lucifer remained unmoved. The devil's wings behind him flapped and said, "Milgar, why don't you go with me to the pit of Hades?"

"For the death of your god is coming. His kingdom will fall."

"How could you be so hurt?" Milga said.

"I will kill him three times." In the wound on Lucifer's abdomen, the hidden man's head suddenly opened his eyes.

The eyes of the head in the belly began to flow with silver coins, thirty in total.

The silver coin fell into Lucifer's hands.

"These thirty silver coins are enough to kill him."

Milcah looked at Lucifer and the head in his belly, "Is thirty silver coins enough to kill God? Lucifer, God is the way, how can you kill the way?"

A smile appeared on Lucifer's lips, and he held the silver coin tightly. “I needed Adam and Eve to fall before anything could begin.”

He stretched out his reverse cross-shaped sword and pointed it at Milga, "Since you are unwilling to fall into the abyss, then disappear in front of me."

Milgar raised the cross-shaped sword in his hand and slashed at Lucifer.

Before his sword touched the enemy, a huge phantom appeared in front of his eyes. Milega saw that in the fire, a skinny man wearing a crown of thorns was nailed to a cross——

Flames ignited all over Milega, then shattered into countless white feathers that scattered around.

Milca was like God, which was his greatest strength, but Lucifer was even more like God than he was.

In the rain of white feathers, Lucifer sat on the high tower. He stared at Adam and Eve in the distance and narrowed his eyes.

"You will swallow the forbidden fruit...for you will come out of the Garden of Eden..."

At this moment, Lucifer suddenly turned his head.

His reverse cross-shaped sword burned with the fire of pride, because he had committed the sin of pride.

"What is this..." Lucifer was surprised for the first time in a long time. Even when he fell from the highest heaven made of glass domes, he was not so surprised.

He saw a dragon.

The dragon is transparent all over, with a bright gem heart and a green moon heart, diamond-like transparent dragon wings, crimson triangular wings and gold dragon wings, and a sword hanging upside down above its head.

"Who are you?"

Lucifer stood up.

The power of dragons does not come from this world.

…

some time ago.

The simulation begins!

[Yang Qi is born. 】

[You realize that you are more than ten thousand meters long, and your whole body is as transparent as crystal diamond. 】

[There are four illusions in your dragon eyes: Spiral Fire - Fall of Thousand Stars - Storm Rush - Endless Dream]

[You find that you were born in a wet cave, with a huge light pillar rising into the sky next to it. 】

Yang Qi thought in his mind: "Still born in the Spring of Flowers and Swords...and retain all his strength."

"The Tower of Angels is to the east?"

[Amidst the storm and fire, you flap your wings and take off, flying towards the east. 】

[Dozens of giant golden birds fly by you. You pierce them with your tail and put them in your mouth. 】

[The sound of tearing metal sounded, and in an instant, you ate dozens of giant golden birds. 】

"Sure enough... my dragon teeth and devouring ability have become stronger. Last time, I had to use the power of dreams to trick these giant bird corpses into eating them."

[You feel like you have gained a little strength. But you feel that the power is too weak. 】

[You ignored the other golden giant birds and kept flying eastward. 】

[You find a herd of giant deer on the ground, running fast. 】

"Giant deer... I was eaten by one when I was a little lizard."

[In the blazing fire and storm, you fell from the sky. 】

[The giant deer are shocked by your majesty and terror, and are so frightened that they can't even lift their legs. 】

[You stretch out your dragon claws and eat them. 】

"It's been a long time since I've eaten fresh blood and meat... the blood flowing through my throat, the feeling of white bones being bitten by dragon's teeth, is really good."

[You feel like you have gained a little strength. You continue flying east. 】

[After a while, you see a tall white tower in front of you. 】

[There are four flaming swords flying around the tower. 】

[There is an angel standing on a high tower, gazing into the garden in the distance. He wears battle armor, has twelve pairs of wings behind him, and holds a sword. 】

"Finally we're here. The last time I came here, that angel just looked at me and I died."

"It's better to be cautious."

[Your dragon scales refract the light, turning the whole body into pure transparency and disappearing. 】

[You then mobilize the power of rest to hide yourself. 】

[You landed on the ground and walked slowly towards the tower. 】

[Your concealment is very good. The angel on the tower did not notice you. 】

[But you suddenly realize that you can no longer move forward. 】

[It is as if the air in front condenses into a transparent wall, blocking you. 】

[You feel confused, then mobilize the power of your eyes and stare ahead. 】

[You find that in front of you, there is an almost invisible layer of thin mist, which condenses into a fog door, isolating the tower from the world you are in. 】

"Fog Gate?" Yang Qi's heart moved.

"In the deepest part of the underworld that I rule, there are four fog gates. Some are very thick, some are dimmer, but you can't see clearly what is beyond the fog gates."

"There is actually a fog gate here..."

Yang Qi suddenly thought of something.

[You let out a roar, and the terrifying roar of the dragon shook thousands of giant golden birds down. 】

[You open your dragon's mouth and spit out billions of burning feather eyeballs. 】

[The eyeballs roar and fly in all directions. 】

[You want to check whether there are four fog doors in this world. 】

[You lost 1.5 billion Ranyu Eyeballs. They flew across the Lake of Mirrors and were burned to ashes by the beams erupting from the mirrors. 】

[You lost 400 million Ranyu Eyeballs. They flew over the floating castle and suddenly lost control. 】

[You lost 250 million Ranyu Eyeballs. They fly over the Moon Clock Tower and the Sun Clock Tower in the swamp, and you see the sun and moon densely packed in the sky, leaving almost no gaps. 】

After a long time, Yang Qi breathed out gently and opened his eyes.

"That's right. The energy level of this world is higher than that of the Olympus world."

"My billion burning feather eyes may be able to explore and conduct reconnaissance in Olympus, but it won't work here at all."

"I have to investigate by myself. That's fine... This time it's just to collect information, and I don't expect to gain anything."

"Do a good job in investigation, and you will get twice the result with half the effort when you attack later."

[You flap your wings, leave the tower, and fly towards the north. 】

[You have been flying for a long time and experienced various hardships along the way. 】

[Thirty days later, you fell to the ground with minor injuries. 】

[The fog ahead is hazy. But the fog here does not form a fog gate, but a fog spring. 】

[It is pitch black all around, and looking out, there is endless nothingness. 】

【Only the spring water of mist. 】

[You look at the Fountain of Mist. 】

[Opposite the Fountain of Mist is connected to another spring. 】

[It seems to be the other shore, it seems to be another world. 】

[Through the spring water, you can see the World Tree, which is larger than the universe. 】

[You see three goddesses. A goddess with white hair and wrinkles on her face. She looked depressed and kept looking back, as if she had forgotten something. 】

[A goddess, she is in her prime and has amazing appearance. She looked straight ahead with bright eyes. 】

[A goddess, she looks like a young girl, with a petite figure. She wore a veil made of delicate dimples and held an ancient and mysterious book in her hand. The orientation of her face is opposite to that of the white-haired goddess. 】

[They scooped up puddles of spring water and splashed it into the air. The spring water condenses into a rope of destiny and is woven into a web of destiny by the goddess. 】

[The web of destiny soars into the sky, one end flying to the top of the mountains in the extreme east, and the other end flying to the sea in the west. 】

[You noticed that the color of the rope of fate changes at any time. 】

[You also noticed that the youngest goddess is often impatient and tears the unwoven web of fate into pieces. 】

"..." Yang Qi's heart was pounding, "It's actually them!"

"These are the three goddesses of destiny!"

"Moreover, these are not the three goddesses of destiny in Olympus, but the three goddesses of destiny in Asgard in Norse mythology!"

"This Fountain of Fog is actually connected to the Asgard Divine Realm!!"

[You find that the opposite side of the Fountain of Mist is connected to another world. 】

[You condense your surprise into gems, spit it out, and regain your composure. 】

[The water in the Fountain of Mist is calm, but there is great danger. You feel like your dragon's claws are thrust into it, and your bones will be shattered in an instant. 】

[You lingered by the Fountain of Mist for several days, and finally used your best efforts to wrap up a few drops of the Fountain of Mist with layers of divine power, and then left. 】

[You fly towards the west. 】

[You have experienced countless dangers, and the minor injuries on your body have turned into slander. 】

[After another thirty days, you fell to the ground. 】

[There is also a fog door here. 】

[Through the fog door, you see the dark and smooth land, only faintly, the dark mountains and the giant trees made of countless earthworms. 】

[You feel an extremely familiar aura. 】

"This is the deepest part of the underworld...the place where I rule."

"It turns out... the so-called simulated world is not false, but a real world."

"This world is connected to Olympus!"

[You stretch out your dragon claw and touch Xiang Wumen. 】

[The fog door is extremely strong and cannot be shaken at all. 】

Yang Qi's whole body was agitated, and he suddenly felt a little strange.

Because now I am actually on Mount Olympus, in the palace.

But I actually exist in this simulated world.

If he could break through the fog door, enter the deepest part of the underworld, and then go to Mount Olympus and come to the palace... could he see the simulated version of himself?

"Did I split into two me...one in Olympus and one in the simulation world?"

"Or are there other possibilities?"

"Forget it. Time is precious, don't think about these things for now. Continue exploring."

[You leave the West Fog Gate and take off again. 】

[You have experienced countless dangers and been seriously injured. 】

[Thirty days later, you come to the fog gate in the south. 】

[You look towards the fog door. Outside the fog door, in the darkness, there seems to be a little bit of divine power fluctuating, and you can't see anything clearly. 】

"The Western Mist Gate leads to my own world, Olympus."

"Northern Mist Gate, leading to Asgard."

"The South Fog Gate is dark and obscure, so you can't see clearly."

"Then the East Fog Gate...that world...if it doesn't go beyond what I expected..."

[You mobilize all your divine power and fly rapidly. 】

[It took you seven days to return to the East Fog Gate. 】

[Beyond the fog gate, there is still the white tower, with the angel standing on it. 】

[The fog door is still solid and cannot be opened. 】

[You spent two days to heal yourself and recover from your injuries. 】

[You see the sunset slowly setting, and the day is about to end. 】

[You realize that after the sunset, it will be the 100th day. 】

Yang Qi stared at the sunset, "There is still some time, enough for me to return to the Spring of Flowers and Swords and teleport back."

"But... forget it."

"On the hundredth day, there will be a rain of snakes and arrows."

"I couldn't resist it before. Can I resist it now?"

"I have to give it a try. Otherwise, there will always only be a hundred days."

[You watch the sunset, gradually setting. 】

[Then, arrows rained from the sky, constantly switching between the forms of snakes and arrows, and fell. 】

[You use the spiral fire, the green light tide, the covering of the sky and the earth-a billion fantasy thunders, to fight against the arrow rain. 】

[The rain of arrows slows down slightly and continues to fall. 】

[You summon one hundred and eighty-two swords and slash at the rain of arrows. 】

[One hundred and eighty-two swords gradually shattered. 】

[You use all the Dragon King's skills, including the King's Round Fire, the King's Square Shield, the King's Lingyu, and the King's Five Corners-Dragon Formation. 】

[The arrow rain sluggishly continues to fall. 】

[You hesitated for a moment, but instead of using the final roar of the Dragon King, you summoned thousands of dreams and hid in them. 】

[A rain of arrows flies into the dreamland, chasing you non-stop. 】

[You go from one broken dream to another until you have finished all the dreams you can imagine. 】

[All dreams are broken, and you have to reappear. The arrow rain is extremely rare, but it is still chasing you. 】

[You have to use your dragon fangs, dragon claws, dragon wings, and dragon scales to resist. 】

[Eleven arrows pierced you. You are dying, but you are still alive. 】

[There is only one last arrow left, and I can't dodge it no matter what. 】

[You realize that arrows have intelligence, which gives you an opportunity. 】

[At the last moment, you suddenly turn into a cat and make a cute meow. 】

[The last arrow is slightly delayed. 】

[You seize that moment of opportunity, spit out a burst of flame, and burn the arrow. 】

[The moment the last arrow disappeared, just as you expected, the fog gate that isolated the white tower dissipated. 】

[You transform into a dragon. 】

[You see, the angel with twelve pairs of wings on the high tower disappeared at some point. 】

[Replaced by an angel with devil's wings and a huge wound on his abdomen. 】

[He holds a reverse cross-shaped sword and looks at you in surprise. 】
