Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Runes, in Scandinavian mythology, are mysterious words obtained by the god-king Odin when he hung himself upside down on a tree and sacrificed himself to himself.

Self-sacrifice sounds very contrary to logic, but now as a god, Ryan has a deeper understanding of it.

The person who made the sacrifice was Odin, but the person who accepted the sacrifice was the God-King. The present self sacrifices to the future self, and Odin, as the god, sacrifices to the world's representative, and what is finally obtained is the rune text that contains the secret of the root of the world.

Although as a text describing the laws of another world, runes may not be effective in Chaos, but what Ryan really values ​​​​is the principle of its existence.

If it can be obtained and analyzed, then Ryan can reconstruct the original spiritual text, create his own 'Rune Runes', and use this rune to describe the rules of the spiritual world more clearly and in detail. And all achievements based on this kind of runes are contributing to the spiritual world itself.

In addition to the runes, there is no need to say more about the world tree Yggdrasil. As the nine major kingdoms that support a mythical world by themselves, the withering of the sacred tree means the arrival of Ragnarok. All this proves that this is a much more terrifying plant than the golden apple tree.

Although what is here is not its main trunk, only one of its three main roots, and Ryan is not sure whether the World Tree is still alive, but this does not undermine its importance.

Whether it is used to cast artifacts or try to use it as a template to cultivate new sacred trees, its value is unquestionable.

As for the Fountain of Urd, there are very few records about it in later generations. The only thing that is certain is that it is a spring that contains the power of purification and vitality.

It has healed Odin's injuries and has been used to water the World Tree all year round. The three goddesses who symbolize destiny in Asgard are always around, but for it, Ryan has a dispensable attitude.

After all, he already has the [Well of Reincarnation]. Even if he gets this spring water, it is just another thing for nourishing plants and brewing drinks. It is hard to say that it is of any great use.

As for the last 'Odin's legacy', Ryan is not sure whether it exists.

After all, the Ragnarok recorded in later myths is not what it is now. It is all creatures, including the gods, that will meet the end, not the world itself. Even after that so-called twilight, the God of Light, Baldr, and the God of Blindness who killed him returned from the Kingdom of the Dead and rebuilt Asgard together with the remaining gods.

But right now, no matter how you look at it, this world is already dead.

"Still be careful who knows how this world will be destroyed."

"What's more, in the world of mythology, 'phenomena' often have power and can even give birth to unique lives. What will the 'death' of a world bring?"

Here, the connection between Ryan and the spirit world has become minimal. Even this broken interface is instinctively suppressing outsiders, but he still discovered his target at a glance.

In the center of the interface, the huge withered root system was still looming, even though it was unknown how far away it was.

"I hope I can gain something."

With a movement of his body, Ryan flew towards the huge black shadow that connected the sky and the earth.

In a world completely different from Chaos, gods can be killed and even age, looking just like Hercules in later myths.

What is the principle behind this is still something worth exploring.

······

The world of Chaos, Mount Olympus.

Although Ryan left the world due to an unexpected premonition, the world itself did not stop.

When mankind fell into chaos due to the sudden loss of the divine gift, the giant beasts near the settlement also found that the aura that they had always been afraid of disappeared, and began to tentatively move closer to the human tribe. Panic and fear spread among humans, and turmoil is about to happen.

Meanwhile, in the Palace of the Sun, holding a branch of fennel in his hand, Prometheus stretched it towards the magnificent golden chariot.

He knew that his seemingly 'hidden' behavior was actually expected by more than one god, such as the sun god Helios, who had made an agreement with him long ago, and the master of Mount Olympus, who ruled the gods. The god king.

They didn't really 'see' his actions, but they all knew what the Illuminati was doing. But even though Prometheus knew this, they were all waiting for him to commit a crime and then step on his 'corpse' to achieve their goal, but he still lit the fire without hesitation.

When the fennel branches are lit, a kind of 'right' is transferred.

From this moment on, this branch acquires immortality because it carries the qualification to use fire given by the Lord of the Spirit World.

Branches are just carriers. As long as the concept of [fire] still exists in the spiritual world, it will be eternal, and as long as Prometheus is not willing, it cannot be taken away by any god.

Ryan gave this 'right' to the sun car, and the owner of the sun car voluntarily gave it up. So now, its ownership has been transferred to the new god. Of course, this will also become the source of the new god's suffering.

Zeus will definitely let him exchange this right, and Prometheus will naturally not agree.

"This is human 'fire'."

"From today on, human beings' fire is no longer a gift from God, including me."

After a moment of silence, Prometheus turned and flew towards the world. From now on, he is the 'Fire Thief' who disobeyed the God King's order.

On Mount Olympus, sensing the transfer of this special 'right' on his artifact, Helios smiled with satisfaction.

He was ready to spread his 'good deeds' among future humans and become as powerful a sun god as his father. But another bystander, God King Zeus, was a little annoyed.

When he noticed that the hot and warm breath was going all the way away from the Palace of the Sun, although all this was what he wanted to see, Prometheus really ignored his existence and so directly violated the order of the God King. , which still made Zeus somewhat angry.

But this is the last time. The God King has secretly made up his mind to teach the Titan a lesson he will never forget and use his presence to warn the gods, especially the Sun God.

Zeus did not know the conversation between the Sun God and Prometheus, and his divine power did not have such ability. It doesn't take much thinking to guess that although Helios might have allowed Prometheus to steal the divine fire because of his 'moment of carelessness', this was too much of a coincidence.

The God King, on the other hand, does not believe in coincidences.

At the same time, when the God King and the Sun God had different reactions to the Illuminati's behavior, unknown to them, in a hidden dream realm in the third spiritual world, a young god in gray robes was also watching. Watching this scene happen.

But what he looked at was not Prometheus, but the burning 'fire' in his hand.

He was just a paranoid and weak god, and Hypnos didn't take it seriously. What he really paid attention to was the 'right' to use fire.

When the solar chariot was built, the God of Sleep had already been born, so he knew exactly where the flame came from.

The guy who is theoretically his father god is also the real master of these seven levels of spiritual world.
