Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

With Apollo's promise, Hephaestus didn't hold back anymore. He described in detail the topography of different places on the earth, the location of Olympus, and the Oracle of Delphi under the Parnassus Mountains.

This is what his adoptive mother told him. In fact, Hephaestus himself has never been there, but this is enough for Apollo.

Knowing the destination, the young god solemnly thanked the other party, and then promised again:

"Your Highness Hephaestus, no matter what, I will remember your help today. When you need me in the future, I will definitely fulfill my promise and do my part."

"I hope so, Apollo, but you can leave now. The land is far away, and it is not easy to find Delphi just relying on my description."

Nodding, Hephaestus's attitude was still not enthusiastic. Although the two sides had a common goal for the time being, he still didn't want to spend more time with this handsome and sunny god.

Apollo didn't care about this implicit behavior of expelling guests. After thanking him, he chose to leave directly.

"Maybe he can make it?"

"Who knows."

Looking at where Apollo left, Hephaestus shook his head. He is not optimistic about the other party, but he doesn't think anything will happen to Apollo. In any case, he is an immortal true god.

Picking up his forging hammer, Hephaestus began to cast again. His skills are not high enough compared to Cyclops. Although he has the same talent, he still needs enough time to practice. At least now, he cannot use the priesthood as a material to forge a real artifact.

Of course, what Hephaestus wanted was never an artifact. He just hopes that one day, he can create a tall and powerful substitute to cover up his ugly and short appearance.

On the other side, Apollo left the island of Lemnos and embarked on a journey to find the Temple of Delphi. Just like the heroes of later generations, he met many different people and did many things along the way. .

There are injured humans, hospitable river gods, evil monsters and nymphs being chased by vicious beasts. He used his warm light to heal human injuries, helped the river god to deal with a three-headed giant snake that had been entrenched upstream, killed the demons who coveted his blood, and also helped nymphs drive away strange beasts. In return for Apollo's help, the elf that emerged from the ash tree gave him a silver bow.

This was said to be a creation of a giant, possessing extraordinary power that made Apollo fall in love with it. With its help, the young god's journey was smoother. With the help of this treasure, more strange beasts died under his arrows, and many mortals were saved because of him.

As he continued to advance, the name "Apollo of the Silver Bow" began to spread among the regional gods and mortals who survived the flood. Gradually, they all learned that there was a god who could bring light, heal people's injuries, and was willing to help others. He was looking for the Oracle of Delphi. He wanted to go there to get rid of a giant snake that did many evil things.

Although no one knows the origin of this god, and he has never said the origin of his bloodline, these people or gods have blessed him and hope that he will get what he wants.

And all of this was seen by Helios who drove the sun chariot across the sky, and then reported one by one to the God King who was paying attention to everything.

He doesn't like Apollo - because unlike others, the Sun God can see the other person's divine power at a glance, which is the power of [light]. Just like he divided the authority of his father, the Titan God Hyperion, the other party divided the [Light] of his mother goddess Theia.

Like it or not, the Mother of Light has been away from the world for a long time, and he is about to be promoted to powerful divine power. Helios suppressed this subjective emotion and truthfully reported to Zeus what Apollo had done on time every day. Do anything superfluous.

After all, there is no direct conflict between the two of them. The other is the son of the God King, and Helios can't think of any reason for them to be enemies.

"So along the way, he helped many human migrants who had not yet settled down, and restored the disabled and sick to health. For this reason, he was regarded by them as a protector of migration and a god who healed pain?"

In the evening, standing in front of the palace of the God King, Zeus confirmed to Helios who had just come off duty.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nodding, maybe because he was about to be promoted, Helios seemed a lot more confident. He looked at Zeus and suggested:

"Do I need to prevent him from contact with humans?"

"The place where he is currently...is not far from Olympus. If he is allowed to continue like this, it is likely that the old incident of Prometheus will happen again."

Speaking of this prophetic god, Helios did so unintentionally at first, but then his tone suddenly paused. At this moment, the Sun God suddenly remembered the warning given to him by the other party under the maelstrom of the East China Sea.

'You don't need to worry now, but if another god who is qualified to drive a solar car is born in the future, then you have to be careful. '... Could this existence be Apollo?

He was not the only one who heard this passage at that time, but also Krasto and Bea who were escorting Prometheus. Helios didn't know if they told the God King about this. If so, why did Zeus ask him to report on Apollo?

Without thinking deeply, Helios lowered his head slightly and avoided Zeus's gaze. He couldn't figure out the reason behind it, but that didn't stop him from feeling a little uneasy.

"You don't need to worry about Apollo's affairs. His connection with humans is not that deep, and it is even less than that of Prometheus. Since I allow Hestia's followers to contact humans, there is no need to worry about it. Apollo must be stopped.”

With a wave of his hand, Zeus signaled to the Sun God that he could leave. As for the reputation Apollo left in the world, this was actually a good thing for the God King.

After all, he is not Poseidon or any other god. He is the son of the God King. When the identity of the other party is revealed in the future, part of all the fame Apollo has achieved will be attributed to Zeus. After all, it is all the same. The 'trial' given to him by the Field God King.

"Speaking of which, this seems like a good idea?"

His eyes lit up, and as he looked at Helios's leaving back, Zeus suddenly realized that Apollo's behavior seemed to be able to be extended further.

The other party is at least a god, so even if it is his son, his achievements will not be fully attributed to the god king. After all, among the gods, it is not an exception for his offspring to be stronger than his father. But it would be different if he could have some demigod heirs, or just descendants with divine blood.

Moreover, for those humans who already have stable settlements, Zeus is already considering how to spread his beliefs. His previous idea was to direct and stage a divine revelation - a sudden storm, continuous heavy rain, and mortals were at a loss. At this time, someone who had received the 'revelation' stood up and thought that everyone should pray to the great King of Thunder. , and then he will go through various hardships, and finally Zeus will send a miracle and give them the power of magic.

This was the inspiration he found from the believers of Hestia. The God King was somewhat envious of the piety of those humans, so he wanted to do it again. All of this comes from human beings' own prayers, rather than from him taking the initiative. This is undoubtedly a very good idea. But now, the God King suddenly discovered that he had another way.
