Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

In the East in later generations, there once was such a story.

In the Chixian Shenzhou at that time, after the first empire that ended the chaotic times of feudalism and achieved great unification collapsed, mortals who aspired to the supreme position in the world competed with each other, and the princes competed for the throne.

They killed rivers of blood in the world, and all kinds of intrigues and celebrities fell out. To many people's surprise, the person who finally became the new master of the world turned out to be a social figure with a background as a small town official.

But looking at the history, this is actually not surprising. After all, slaves can become generals, and beggars can break the earth and become emperors. It can be seen that although a person's achievements are related to birth, they are not absolute. In short, this old gangster, who was already quite old when he debuted, finally succeeded in unifying the world and occupying the highest position in the mortal world.

However, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it. Not only were there all kinds of power struggles, but even the old guy who had spent half his life in the army suddenly discovered that the brothers who conquered the world with him were not many celebrities who came from the so-called "high-ranking families, the homes of bells and dishes", but instead they were slaughtering pigs and dogs. Seniors abound. So much so that he was repeatedly banned from drinking and causing trouble, drawing swords and hitting pillars in court, which made him feel very depressed.

It was like this when you were not the emperor, and it is still like this after you become the emperor. Then isn't your position as emperor in vain? Fortunately, at this time, a former rites and music official who had defected to him for a long time appeared out of nowhere. After a few operations, he successfully persuaded the emperor and took the lead in formulating a rites and music that highlighted the ruler's tallness and dignity - —Probably just revising and revising it within the framework of the previous dynasty.

And when it was first implemented, the old gangster was shocked by it. Seeing the neat and orderly officials and guards, advancing and retreating in accordance with the requirements of etiquette, he couldn't help but sigh: Until today, I don't know the dignity of being an emperor.

Whether this rumor is true or false, and whether such a statement is actually true, future generations do not actually know. But if Zeus had a chance to hear this story, then he would definitely make the old guy a confidant, because he himself thought so at this moment.

Ever since he ascended the throne in his early years, the God-King has hardly spent a day without worrying about his future.

The shock given to him by the power of the original god at the turn of the era has never gone away, making him never feel at ease. It wasn't until he also mastered this power, as if a certain string in his heart relaxed, that Zeus finally felt at ease.

Although he was tricked by Erebus right after that, Zeus saw clearly the truth of the matter after being frightened and angry at the beginning.

The Lord of Darkness did not do it himself, but borrowed power that did not belong to him. This certainly made Zeus feel afraid, but it also proved something.

Just like as the God King, he can't actually do whatever he wants, maybe those primitive gods can't do whatever they want in the material world. If that were the case, a lot of things would make sense.

"I understand somewhat now, Zeferos."

Walking out of the depths of the island, the God King was wrapped in a loose robe.

The wind blew the nightgown rustling, and looking at this scene, the God of the West Wind was not surprised by this.

"It seems that you have seen another mystery that only the King of Gods can understand."

His expression remained unchanged, and Cheferos said respectfully.

"Hahahahaha... Yes, Zeferos. At least this time, this is something that only the God King can understand."

Smiling and shaking his head, Zeus was in a very good mood.

"I just gradually understood why my grandfather was so cruel to the Titans, and under what circumstances the gods of the previous generation chose to create humans."

"They didn't know what faith was at that time...but I guess they must have thought so at the time:"

Admiring the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, Zeus said in a strange tone:

"'Until today, I didn't understand the nobility of the gods.' Those Titan gods may not have said it out loud, but that's probably what they thought."

"Looking around, a world full of gods will make gods ordinary. Only through comparison can you gain happiness, and if there are only gods, this happiness will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. So on this basis, the gods created golden humans—— It was an extremely rare event in which almost all the gods participated.”

"...Yes, Your Majesty, you can always see things that others cannot see and get to the root of things."

Whispering, Zeferos also glanced at the sea.

Zeus was admiring the sun rising in the east, but he thought that there was a god there in that direction. He is still trapped and locked at the bottom of the ocean, suffering for his actions.

The reason why he created humans was probably not to gain a sense of superiority over mortals... But now he can only be locked under the Eye of the Sea and be tortured by the East China Sea day and night.

"It is said that Iapetus, the former God of Speech, also supported the creation of humans, even among the earliest batch, and his power happened to be the weakest among the Titans."

"But you are different, Your Majesty. The weak can only have ideas, but the strong can implement them. Iapitus and his descendants created the silver and bronze generations respectively, but only you are the real master of the world."

This time, Zeferos's words were more or less sincere, which was also the reason for his pursuit of power. In front of him, listening to the flattery of the God of the West Wind, Zeus couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Hahahahaha... That's what I like about you, Zeferos. Although I know you are flattering me, I just like to hear it."

As he said, Zeus didn't know that the God of West Wind was just saying nice things, but he was still very happy.

After all, other gods would never talk to him like this, especially those with moderate divine power. Looking at it this way, Zeferos suddenly stood out.

So while chatting, time passed by minute by minute. It wasn't until the night gradually faded and the sun shone dimly in the east that Zeus finally seemed to remember something serious.

He didn't summon Zeferos here today just to listen to his praise - although it did make him happy - but he actually had other things to do.

"Zeferos, my most trusted subordinate, you have always been loyal to me."

"So now, I have something for you to do."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zeus's expression became formal. Beside him, the God of the West Wind immediately expressed his stance:

"Your Majesty, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

"Of course you can do it... Zeferos, you have many followers, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, thanks to your blessing, every god in Olympus has his own believer."

I don't know what Zeus meant, but for such an obvious thing, Zeferos nodded and admitted.

"Yes, everyone has it. It seems like anyone can try it, but none of them are as obedient as you."

Shaking his head slightly, Zeus didn't intend to mention this more. He believes that time and interests will gradually change everything, and now, he wants to establish this common interest.

By that time, perhaps many Titan gods, whom he has no choice about now, will automatically join his camp without taking action.

"Zeferos, you know, in recent years, as the gods have learned more and more about human faith, each of them has summed up his own way of obtaining faith. But in my opinion , in fact, this can be attributed to two manifestations: fear of the unknown and yearning for beauty.”

"Exact explanation, Your Majesty."

Zeferos complimented again, but Zeus just waved his hand and continued:

"As gods, we want to make mortals fearful. That is a very simple thing. But if we want to make them yearn for it, it is not that simple. So not long ago, I opened up a world in Olympus , try to solve our problems.”

"!"

His expression changed, and the God of West Wind could hardly contain the surprise in his eyes. Is this the power of the God King to create a world in Mount Olympus that no one even noticed before?

"Don't be so surprised. It's not too difficult... but Ziferos, what I want to do is also related to that place."

It seemed very casual. Zeus naturally attributed the existence of Asgard to himself and calmly accepted the praise of his subordinates. Now the place has been swept away by him, and there is no sign that anyone has ever existed, so Zeus is not afraid of being discovered by others.

But what he wanted to say was not this, but something else.

When he was exploring this alien realm, even though most of them had been destroyed, Zeus still discovered an existence that was of some use. That seemed to be the place where Odin's residual thoughts once resided, and it was also revealed as his residual thoughts disappeared.

It was called the 'Hall of Valor' by the original residents of the God's Domain, and through the murals in the palace, Zeus also understood its former purpose.

As the name suggests, this palace is the place where the Asgardian gods once cultivated human heroes. It has the ability to nourish and maintain the spirit. Therefore, although the number of heroic spirits it can retain is not large, as long as it is carefully selected, it can ensure that each one has extraordinary combat power.

But what Zeus needs is not a small number of heroic spirits that can fight. What he really wants to learn is how these heroic spirits are created. However, if you don’t understand something, you just don’t understand it. It won’t be understood just because you are stronger. So Zeus failed to learn that technology in the end, he only learned a little bit about it.

The God King was a little disappointed at first, was he even? I thought of Metis again - if she were still around, she would probably be able to analyze the secrets of heroic spirits. However, not long after Themis left Olympus, Zeus suddenly discovered that perhaps this bit of fur was far more valuable than the real heroic spirit.

He doesn't lack for some goons, but that has no real value to him.

"Zeferos, in the world I created, I gave it a special rule. There, the soul after death can live as before life - the only difference is that you can use divine power to transform Everything mortals want, all their dreams can be easily fulfilled without consuming too much power.”

"Just like the sun." Pointing to the red sun rising in the distance, Zeus said with a smile. “People just have to look up and see it.”

"And a perfect country, a kingdom belonging to God, is also something that mortals can long for."

"...Your Majesty, are you trying to prevent the soul from returning to the spiritual world and reincarnating?"

There was some hesitation in his tone. Standing behind Zeus, Zeferos easily understood what Zeus meant.

What kind of perfect country? Isn't this the same as the Kingdom of God that is said to be established in the spiritual world by the Goddess of Law?

When the followers of Themis in the land of death spread among humans, I don’t know how many more followers she gained because of this. So this is certainly a good thing, it can certainly deepen the faith of mortals, but it can also bring disaster.

The God of the West Wind didn't know if the God King could defeat the Lord of the Spirit World, but he was certain that it would be a very stupid thing to make an enemy of another primitive god in order to deepen the piety of mortals.

"Of course not, Cheferros, don't be too rigid. You have to understand that we don't really want mortals to enjoy eternal beauty in the Kingdom of God - we just want them to think that they can do this."

A smile appeared on his lips, and Zeus shook his head slightly.

He had no intention of robbing the soul, that thing was actually of no use to him. The faith produced by a pure spirit body was much worse than that in life, and he also understood the concerns of the God of the West Wind.

So Zeus was ready to explain his behavior further, but at this moment, the God King's brows suddenly frowned, and he suddenly turned around and looked to the west.

Just now, he suddenly felt a warning from his soul.

"His Majesty?"

"...Nothing. Something seems to have happened there. Just wait here and don't move around."

"As for the Kingdom of God matter, wait until I come back -"

boom--

Before Zeus finished speaking, a loud noise came from the east of the earth.

A huge mouth opened in the earth, and flying rocks shot up into the sky. Endless smoke and dust were lifted high and then dispersed in the air, as if casting a layer of fog over the place.

And at the end of the line of sight, a huge thing seemed to jump out of the earth, looming in the mist. What followed was the announcement that spread throughout the world.

"Looks like I don't have to look."

With a solemn expression, Zeus felt an all-too-familiar aura in that direction.

"It's you again...Mother Earth."

"I said, how come you have been quiet for so long? Fortunately, I was still wary of you at the beginning. But even you yourself are no match for me, so what can the monster you gave birth to do to me?"

With a sneer, Zeus instantly recognized the identity of the person who emerged from the earth, because Gaia, whose whereabouts were unknown since the previous battle, seemed to be there at the moment.

Although he couldn't see clearly from the distance, Zeus felt relieved when he felt the other person's presence.

The life that emerged from the ground did not have any obvious divine induction. It was probably not a god, but a being that looked like a giant in the past. But it's not surprising that his old grandmother always gave birth to some strange lives, as if the primitive wilderness had never diminished in her body.

"I'll go see what Gaia is up to, and deal with it if necessary. As for you, Zephyrus."

With a wave of his hand, Zeus said calmly:

"Just watch from the sidelines."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The God of West Wind nodded heartily.

At times like this, he would never say "let's go together" just to show his loyalty.

He may not be able to defeat enemies that Zeus can defeat. An opponent that Zeus couldn't defeat was even less likely to be defeated by him. The only thing he needs to do is to praise the divine king's divine power afterwards.

Rumble——

In an unknown valley in the east of the earth, every movement of Typhoos caused a stratum or mountain range to break apart.

Before, it had only poked its head out a little, but its body was still under the earth.

‘Some life similar to that woman. ’

A hundred pairs of eyes looked at this strange world. Typhoos saw many lives that looked similar to Gaia, but they were so weak. He didn't even do anything, just glanced at them, and they were exploded into a ball of flesh and blood, and then burned into dregs by the flames.

Most of these tiny beings fled in all directions, but some behaved in ways that made Typhoos a little strange. They held some small metal objects, shouted at themselves, and even charged - and then of course, they couldn't last longer under Typhon's gaze.

"Strange life."

After shaking his head, Typhoos came to his senses and suddenly discovered that the woman who claimed to be his creator was gone. But it also noticed that something was approaching it from the east.

"Another 'god'?"

They seem to call themselves 'gods' and 'god-kings'.

"But whatever it is..."

Two hundred eyes looked at the incoming man, and Typhous struggled hard. As the continental plates shook, its body finally crawled out of the ground.

With no rest and no need for rest, Typhon opened his big mouth and bit at the comer.

If you want to talk to it, then take a move from it first!
