Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

The predecessor of Moya, the Mother of Demons, Mnemosyne and Ryan have been feuding for a long time. Although this so-called feud has always been considered unilaterally by the other party, Ryan has never paid attention to it.

It wasn't until the Titan goddess suffered a loss at the hands of the newly born Atlas (see 2-32) and chose to plunge into Tartarus that her existence really attracted Ryan's attention. Now she has lost her past appearance and turned into a form even more twisted than a hundred-armed giant. When Moya wakes up, one can imagine the resentment in her heart.

She gained the power she dreamed of, but she also became a monster not recognized by the gods. If it were not for her being the mother body that gave birth to her, Tartarus would definitely guide her choice and let her aim at the hell that absorbs the power of the abyss after her birth. I am afraid that Ryan would be ready to see her in the spiritual world. .

Of course, if she really dares to come, there is a high probability that she will never come back.

"As long as you have a plan, Moya who has been favored by Tartarus is not something they can solve."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Asmodeus nodded. He was about to leave, but when he glanced at the 'little' tree growing under the floating island, he couldn't help but think of Mephisto's thoughts when he explained the future 'human strategy' to him a few days ago.

He needs to be able to limit mortal things and at the same time gain their trust. This should be a contract that can be applied in large quantities and widely. After learning of his thoughts, the Lord of the Nine Hells originally planned to try to dilute the power of the River Styx, but later he discovered that the power of the Styx Oath did not lie in the river water itself, but had another source.

The water of the Styx represents more of a punishment for breaking an oath. It has some special divinity and can wash away the power of the gods. Therefore, its river water may be blended into special ink that can be used to write the content of the contract. It can carry the material of the oath itself, but it requires other sources.

"An 'Oath Keeping' tree, if you pay a price, you can gain strength from it. I really don't know where you got it from."

After observing for a while, Asmodeus stretched out his hand and summoned a Nordrassil leaf.

The veins of the leaves exude golden light, and some kind of power flows inside. The Lord of Nine Hells observed carefully. After a while, he extracted the power contained in the leaves and turned them into a stack of dark 'paper' in his palm.

"This tree should be like the River Styx. It can gain strength by witnessing oaths and punishing those who break oaths."

Said with certainty, Asmodeus then looked at Ryan's incarnation.

"Give me these leaves and let Mephistopheles take them to the human world. Only there will there be soil where it can spread on a large scale. Maybe one day, this sacred tree will also have power close to that of Styx." indefinite."

"I have no objection to this. If you want it, then take it. The fallen leaves of Nordrassil are indeed the best carrier of the contract, but I'm afraid you have extra things to do."

Ryan nodded and agreed, but when Ryan looked at the young tree that had grown recently, there were not many leaves on it.

This kind of powerful leaf is naturally not born out of thin air. It needs enough power to support its growth. If you only rely on what you have now, I'm afraid it won't be enough.

"As you can see, although it is extraordinary in nature, the time it takes to grow is still too short. If you want it to grow enough leaves, you have to bring more nutrients to it."

"nutrient?"

"Yes, but it's not difficult to obtain. You just need to find some energy-rich life forms and sink their bodies into the spring water."

Leonor's Fountain was originally a spring from another world. After it died, it was reborn and became part of the atrium, continuing to accompany its former neighbors. Its power symbolizes vitality and purification, just like the dark and evil opposite of the Nine Hells, and its spring water is the best nutrient for Nordrassil's growth.

When it first came to the atrium, just like Nordrassil at the beginning, Ryan luxuriously allowed it to absorb part of the origin of the interface and complete its initial growth. But for future development, we still have to find solutions from other places.

The bodies of foreign beings are very good materials. The alien energy in their bodies will be purified by the spring water, and their vitality will become nutrients. The remaining materials will settle to the bottom of the lake, turn into soil, and become part of the world.

"Life is hard to find in the abyss. Apart from the devil, there seems to be no other life here."

Thoughtfully, Asmodeus looked at the abyss where the materialization of the outside world was becoming more and more obvious, and seemed to understand something. And Ryan didn't show off, but explained directly:

"Yes, after being 'injured', Tartarus' instinct began to imitate, imitate hell, imitate the world. Life is a very important part of it, not to mention that even the materials have already had 'people' It’s ready for Him.”

The Lord of Nine Hells knows what Ryan is referring to. The so-called 'material' is the Kingdom of Fire that was previously integrated into the abyss. Even if the gestation of the Demon God hadn't ended yet, some primitive beings born in the flames might have appeared here one after another.

"Then let Mephistopheles figure out a way. Offering the devil's body in exchange for a contract is in line with the rules of this tree."

At this moment, it was not just a matter of contract, Asmodeus was even more inspired.

The Fountain of Leonor can rely on the power of 'purification' to accelerate the conversion of life in foreign lands, but the world itself can actually do it, but it just takes longer. Life born in one world inherently contains extremely weak power, and if they die in another world, this will undoubtedly be a subtle weakening.

One or two is insignificant, but tens of thousands is extremely significant. When Moya wakes up, the Nine Hells' direct stealing of the power of the abyss will stop. Then this method may become another way to use the abyss to strengthen itself.

"Perhaps the war between the two worlds should continue forever. As long as I am always the winner."

Thinking to himself but not saying it directly, Asmodeus turned and left. Seeing this, Ryan smiled and dissipated, and his consciousness returned to the body of the world-circling snake.

The huge atrium fell into silence again, with only the water of Leonor's Fountain still flowing.

······

The eastern part of the mainland, offshore.

Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, causing bursts of roaring sounds, which was a sign that the God King was traveling. Without taking anyone with him, Zeus walked quickly, following the place where the previous induction was last transmitted.

As the sun set and the sun rose, the boundary between the earth and the coast gradually came into view. The God King finally saw a broad lake. Not surprisingly, the birth of God took place here.

Not long after the time passed, the air was still scattered with the aura of the birth of the two gods, attracting many birds to gather here. They cling to it, greedily sucking in the power that can change their destiny, in order to sublimate the essence of life, and then gain a longer lifespan and powerful power.

However, luck and disaster always go hand in hand. Before these birds could realize what had happened, they all turned into ashes as a silver snake passed by. This was not something Zeus did intentionally, but the thunder that spontaneously surrounded the God King did not avoid these mortal objects, but only accidentally touched them, turning them into dust.
