Greek Mythology: Evolution from the Gargoyle

The earth rustled, and the strong fragrance shot straight into the sky. In an instant, with the transparent dragon as the center of the circle, bright red roses bloomed within thousands of miles!

Yang Qi opened his mouth and spit out a green beam of light. He shook his head, and the bright beam of light drew a circle on the ground, sweeping across the thousands of creatures.

boom! ! !

The flesh and blood of the creatures swept by the green light beam began to grow crazily, expand, and then explode!

Countless screams and millions of blood mist erupted on the dark earth!

Then the group of broken flesh and white bones burned fiercely and turned into ashes!

"That dragon!!" Thanatos' pale and sickly face suddenly moved, "This is the giant dragon that was with Medea!"

"He has changed!" Thanatos stared at the dragon's scales that were like clear flowing water, with seven thousand dazzling lights emitting from his body. "Before, he still had emerald green dragon scales!"

"His divine power...has become so profound!!"

"The giant dragon that used the body of a demigod to activate his doppelganger!"

In the divine court, all the gods were watching Yang Qi. They still remembered the two World Trees rising in the night sky decades ago!

Today, his strength is far from the same, and he is actually much stronger than then!

"His second source of divine power...?" Thanatos frowned, "Did it collapse?"

Yang Qi once used the second source of divine power to cut off the thread of fate entangled with Zeus and cut off the past. Therefore, the gods could only detect the disappearance of Yang Qi's second source of divine power, but they could not guess what happened specifically. come out!

"The second source of divine power will slowly recover as time goes by!"

"If his second source of divine power is restored, to what extent will his strength soar?!"

Thanatos estimated the strength of himself and the dragon in his mind!

But Yang Qi's mind was not on the battle at all. After breathing out the green light, he lowered his head and looked at the thousands of miles of roses in full bloom.

"After evolution, roses will appear every time it exhales a wave of green light."

"Can I have different flowers? Can I control this?"

Yang Qi slightly mobilized the life power in his body, and the roses withered and fell to the ground.

Then the fragrance burst out, the earth rustled, and thousands of crimson roses were born from the dark soil.

"This is not bad."

The crimson sea of ​​roses surrounded the entire Temple of Hades.

Thousands of living creatures were swept away by the green light wave from Yang Qi's mouth.

He shook his dragon wings and flew towards the Temple of Hades.

Step into it.

He looked around, and the dark hall was instantly illuminated by the light radiating from his body.

The gods of the underworld looked at him.

Sticks smiled at him.

Biya waved happily, "Mighty dragon!" and wanted to rush over, but then Nai Ji held her tightly and covered her mouth to prevent her from moving.

Thanatos' pale, sickly face was expressionless.

Hypnos opened his eyes and took a look.

Then he closed his eyes, and the sage and poppies beside his bed swirled.

Yang Qi thought in his mind: "Do you want to show friendship?"

The three judges of the underworld, the boatman Charon and other gods cast curious glances and whispered.

Especially Zagreos, the son of the underworld, he looked at Yang Qi with burning passion in his eyes!

Yang Qi looked at the king and queen in the darkness.

He lowered his dragon's neck slightly.

"I have seen the great King and Queen of Hades."

"Eternal Wings, this is our first meeting." Persephone's divine voice sounded, "I have to admit that you left a deep impression on me."

Yang Qi raised his head, opened his mouth, and spit out two heads.

"The heads of the lords of the Scarlet Garden and the Heart Elephant Garden." Yang Qi said slowly: "They attacked me on the way here. I ate them."

The four gardens of the underworld, pale, decayed, bright red, and mental images!

"They are the slaves of the Queen of Hades. Since I killed the slaves of the Queen of Hades, I hereby explain it to you."

Yang Qi was confident that Persephone would not get angry.

It was Yang Qi who they took the initiative to attack.

Moreover, they will also participate in the competition in the underworld. Sooner or later, they will fight this battle. Only the strong will survive.

But speaking of it, this can be regarded as the benefit of becoming a member of the Olympus Court.

After they die, the Divine Court will at least interrogate and give an explanation to Pluto and Queen.

Even if it's just their slaves.

If it were just a living creature wandering in the wilderness, it would be dead and no one would care.

Persephone smiled.

"I know they took the lead in making a sneak attack. If they are weak, they are not qualified to be the lord of my garden."

"In this case, from now on, you will be the lord of the four gardens of the underworld, commanding the pale, withered, bright red and mental flowers."

Yang Qi slightly chinned his head, thinking: "Sure enough!"

"I will not disappoint the great King and Queen of Hades."

Persephone then turned her head, she looked at Styx and Thanatos.

"Dear Goddess of Styx, the powerful God of Death, please name the gods who will fight."

"Then the second round of competition begins."

Sticks bowed lightly: "Naki."

Naiji was holding Biya at the moment, warning her not to move, and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She was thinking: "Me? Why not let my brother go...or my sister Bea...?"

Naji was quite confused, wondering what her God Mother was thinking.

If she really wanted to compete for this precious imperial opportunity, she should let her brother, the strongest of the four sons of gods, Crotus, the god of strength, fight.

If you just want to exercise, then Bea, and your youngest brother, Zeros, the god of enthusiasm and competitiveness, need it more than you do.

It is possible for the mother to think this way - because Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, will definitely send her favorite son, Zagreos, the son of the underworld, to fight!

Competing with the children of the underworld for this precious resource is likely to make the queen of the underworld unhappy.

This seems to be a test, testing whether the Mother of God and the God of Death will challenge the authority of the Queen of Hades!

"Did mother make a compromise choice..."

Naji gritted her teeth and lowered her head: "Yes."

"Dear Death, please name me."

Thanatos' pale and sickly face turned around, and he glanced at his brother, Hypnos, the god of sleep.

Hypnos held three bright light groups in his arms, which were his three sons of gods. He shook his head slightly.

Thanatos said to the Queen of Hades: "Respected and great Queen of Hades, I appoint your son, Zagreos, son of Hades, to fight."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the divine court!

Negi thought to herself, "What is Thanatos doing?"

"For such a precious opportunity, he didn't leave it to his brother's son of God, or other good gods, but... appointed the son of God to the Queen of the Underworld?"

"Is he trying to please the Queen of Hades?"

Persephone remained calm, she turned her head and looked at Zagreos: "Since the noble God of Death has appointed you, then you come to fight."

"Yes!" Zagreos answered loudly with an excited expression.

"As for the final spot, I designated -" The Queen of Hades glanced around the temple.

"The guard of the underworld, the three-headed dog of hell—Cerpolos."

"Woof!!!"

From the distant shore of the underworld, a loud barking suddenly came!

The earth began to tremble, as if something huge was approaching, and a smell of fire and brimstone rose from the cracked abyss!

Three black shadows appeared from the distant horizon. In the dimness, three pairs of scarlet eyes flashed with blood-colored light.

The three-headed dog of hell!

Its huge body has three ferocious heads, and its mouth full of fangs is dripping with sticky saliva. A low roar comes from between the fangs, like a roar from the deepest part of hell!

It spread its huge wings, divine power burst out, and the aura of death and destruction enveloped the Temple of Hades, falling from the sky!

boom!

Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, whose name means "Devil of the Dark"!

"The three-headed dog of hell..." Yang Qi stared at it, feeling its power.

"He is strong!"

"In the records of later generations, even Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, could not defeat it."

"I had to use a strategy to put him into a deep sleep, so that I could take a dead soul out of the underworld."

The three-headed dog of hell guards the gate of the underworld. He only allows the souls of the dead to enter the underworld, and does not allow the souls of the dead to leave the underworld, nor does he allow any living creatures to enter or exit.

"Thanatos actually appointed Zagreos to fight, while the Queen of Hades appointed the three-headed dog of hell to fight..."

"Am I going to fight with all my strength?"

Yang Qi thought, naturally, he also understood that fighting with all his strength to compete with Zagreos for this precious imperial title might offend the Queen of the Underworld!

In that case, this underworld competition is actually just an award ceremony prepared for Zagreos personally, and he is just an actor.

At this moment, Persephone's divine voice sounded.

She looked at Thanatos thoughtfully, then turned around and looked at Yang Qi.

"The last spot is given to the winner of the last round of competition, the lord of the four gardens, the powerful dragon - Restless Wings."

The Queen of Hades' eyes were deep: "I understand your thoughts."

"I will not favor Zagreos."

"I hope that all gods can use all their strength to compete for this great glory."

"Because the dinner of the gods is about to begin."

Dinner of the Gods!

In the Underworld Court, the eyes of all the gods suddenly turned to the Underworld Queen!

As all the gods know, the relationship between the three brothers Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon has become increasingly tense, and the confrontation between Olympus, the ocean, and the underworld has become increasingly fierce!

And every banquet of the gods held on the top of Olympus is nominally to discuss major events in the divine world. In fact, it is a test of the strength of the three realms and a redistribution of interests and power!

To put it simply - at the last dinner of the gods, Mount Olympus, controlled by Zeus, overwhelmed the underworld, and Zeus gained new power: he could designate the souls of the dead so that the underworld would not accept them!

At the last dinner of the gods, it was also Zeus who overpowered Hades and made Styx the God of Styx!

The priesthood of Styx, the god of Styx, was not conferred by Hades, but by Zeus.

She is a nail driven into the underworld by Zeus!

Of course, Styx is usually very careful and does not dare to anger Pluto and Queen.

In an instant, the gods understood the intention of the Queen of the Underworld - the dinner of the gods was coming soon, and the Queen of the Underworld wanted to expand the power of the underworld!

Therefore, this competition is a real battle of swords and guns. Whoever is stronger will get the imperial seal!

After being consecrated to the priesthood, those without authority will gain authority, and those with authority will become stronger - this is a very rare opportunity to become stronger!

"I understand, my dear queen! I will fight for this honor with my own sword, spear, longbow and shield, not your help!" Zagreos' eyes were burning and bright!

"That's it!" In an instant, Nai Ji understood what Sticks was thinking!

"Mother of God, give me a chance to show off!"

"She doesn't really expect me to win this competition, but she hopes that I can bring a good impression to the Queen of Hades!"

"When the dinner of the gods comes, Pluto and Queen will select some gods to go to Mount Olympus to participate!"

"The Mother of God hopes that I will leave a good impression on the Queen of the Underworld and be selected to go to Mount Olympus, and then look for opportunities to stay in Mount Olympus - she understands my intention!"

Naji always felt that something big was going to happen in the underworld, and she wanted to escape from here!

It turned out that her mother had already seen through her thoughts!

"Thank you...Mother, I will."

In an instant, Naji's eyes darkened, and the petals rotating around her condensed into entities and fell to the ground, and her divine power suddenly exploded!

"Woof!!!" The three-headed hell dog roared!

"So the reason why the Queen of Hades chose the three-headed hell dog is because it is very strong and can test the true strength of the gods..."

Yang Qi sneered in his heart, "Since the Queen of Hades has spoken, I will take this precious opportunity to be granted the imperial seal!"

Brush - Suddenly, divine power erupted in the Temple of Hades, condensing into countless bright underworld gems, falling to the ground like a small mountain!

There are five hundred underworld gems containing rich divine power!

Persephone said: "In order to inspire the gods to fight, I took out these five hundred gems to reward the final winner."

When the gods saw the gems piled up in the hall, their eyes couldn't help but shine!

The gems produced in the veins of the underworld and the soul-burning gems in the River Styx are basically exclusive to Hades. Even though the gods have worked hard, they can occasionally get some!

Now, it’s five hundred pieces at once!

Seeing the raging divine power erupting from it, even Thanatos, who had always been calm, trembled in his heart!

"Yes!!!" Zagreos, Naji, and Yang Qi looked at the pile of gems and answered together!

"I will definitely win this competition!!" The blood in Yang Qilong's body was boiling, "Definitely!!!"

Persephone waved her finger, and four silver plates flew up, covered with silver covers.

"In the silver plate, there are two mint leaves and two bay leaves."

"The gods who have drawn the same blade will fight each other until one party admits defeat, or Pluto and I call off the fight."

"Zaglios, Restless Wings, Nai Ji——" The Queen of Hades' beautiful eyes swept over.

"Extract your opponents."

Zagreos was the first to move forward. He opened a silver cover, which contained a mint leaf!

Yang Qi was the second to step forward. He opened the silver cover and found a laurel leaf inside!

"Bay leaf!" Yang Qi's heart moved, "I don't have to fight Zagreos in the first round."

"Next, who will draw the bay leaf and fight me?"

Naiji was the third one to step forward. She opened the silver cover and found a mint leaf inside!

"Then, there is no need to open the fourth silver plate."

Persephone clapped her hands.

"In the first round of battle, the daughter of Styx, the goddess of Styx, and the goddess of victory, Nike, face off against Hades and my son of God, Zagreos, the son of the underworld!"

"The second round of battle, the powerful dragon, Restless Wings, versus the three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus!"

"The battle begins!"
