Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

······

The underworld, the field of truth.

A gray light flashed, the space trembled, and Hades staggered out of the void.

At this moment, his face was extremely tired, full of the look of surviving a disaster.

Just like when Typhon's plague just started, Helios in the sun was infected by the mother tree. As the interface closest to the abyss and Niflheim in terms of time and space, the underworld was directly affected by the mother tree. The erosion of power. Endless power surged in along the gaps in time and space from the beginning, bypassing the seal and assimilating everything around it.

Some small interfaces that were very close to each other were changed in nature almost instantly, and the underworld also encountered a catastrophe. Almost immediately, Hades chose to merge with the symbol of the priesthood to fight against this sudden disaster.

Pluto is naturally unable to fight against the mother tree, but fortunately, compared to Helios, who only occupies a smaller half of the power of the sun, the gods in charge of the underworld are united and are trying their best to block the erosion of the power of the mother tree. In addition, Hades as a whole is already larger than the sun, so Hades still managed to persist until the moment Typhon fell.

At this moment, although many tributaries of the River Styx have been silently changed, many places in the Hades divided by the River of Fire have been completely assimilated by foreign forces.

Feedback to the gods revealed that Hades's robes were missing a lot; a large number of traces of corruption appeared in the gray plains, and countless undead lives were polluted into monsters, but no matter what, the main body of Hades was intact after all. of.

So Hades, who had actually worked hard for many years in the chaos of time and space, could finally relax a little. He withdrew from the special state of being attached to Hades and let Persephone operate for him.

Since Typhon's death, the mother tree's erosion of the outside world has changed from the initial violent flow to an endless trickle, and the pressure on the underworld has also been greatly reduced. Even if the power of the Underworld Queen is not as strong as his, it can be replaced temporarily.

At this moment, Hades was extremely glad that he had found his own Queen of the Underworld as soon as possible, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to survive alone.

"Outer God...what a terrible disaster."

"Even the ancient spiritual world and the realm of primitive gods have not escaped, with the exception of Tartarus - no, maybe this is just because the abyss does not have the power to extend outside."

Finally able to breathe, Hades looked at the vast gray plain, feeling heartbroken and a little horrified.

He had no time to count the specific losses in Hades, but just how terrible this sudden disaster was could be roughly judged by looking at the state of several primitive gods.

When the Typhon Rebellion broke out, day and night were still alternating, so the power of the Land of Eternal Night and the Lightless Realm was the same as before, surging or sinking like the ebb and flow of sea water. And these powers released from the realm collided with the power of the outer gods, and two terrifying existences were born from them.

[Ancient Evil·Crown of Silence] [Ancient Evil·Twisted Shadow], they descended on the land of the underworld as soon as they were born. One occupied a vast area and turned it into a restricted area, while the other raged madly in the underworld, adding more trauma to the interface that was already severely affected by the outer gods.

As for the spiritual world... the power of the mother tree also did not enter the spiritual world, but one of the rivers of Styx, the [River of Oblivion] jointly controlled by the underworld and the spiritual world, did not escape its poisonous hand.

A few tributaries were eroded, and a large number of souls that were contaminated by the power of evil but did not dissipate on the ground gathered there. They came together under the power of [Primordial Hate·Flesh Mother Tree], triggering some kind of qualitative change - sheer quantity could not have crossed this limit, and no matter how many souls of mortal beings would sublimate into gods, but now, Countless souls were unified and transformed into the [Ancient Evil Thousand-faced Soul Eater].

This last-born ancient evil thing almost perfectly embodies the chaotic and crazy side of the outer gods. 'Thousand Faces' is just a nickname. In fact, countless evil spirits are fighting each other in its body all the time, and the evil things are also killing each other all the time. He is always eager to devour the spiritual bodies of the outside world.

In its body, every evil spirit that reaches a certain level can be regarded as part of the will of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater. Each spirit body also has its own will, so when it is reflected to the outside, no one knows about it. How will the whole thing react?

Now it is moving upward along the tributaries of the River Styx, trying to absorb more spirits. The undead on both sides have become part of it in the roaring evil spirits.

"Oh, that means Stix and Ming Yue have stabilized the situation. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be two more big troubles."

Shaking his head slightly, Hades was still a little lucky.

Compared to the River of Oaths and even the Netherland, the Nether Moon was the focus of erosion by the outer gods during the entire turbulent process.

Just like He chose the sun on the earth, as the only light body underground, once the Hades Moon is affected by the Mother Tree, along with the moonlight shining through Hades, His power can spread throughout the entire interface, even around the world. Many small worlds have not escaped disaster.

In this case, Hades saw with his own eyes the blood mist lingering around Ziyue and the scattered crystal leaves. Even at the most dangerous time, Pluto once noticed that part of the dark moon seemed to be briefly activated, and a black moon seemed to be separated from it, but then it was firmly locked in by a brass-colored ancient book. Under the moonlight.

They are both [ancient evil things], and just like true gods, there are differences between them. Hades can be sure that if Ming Yue is really torn in half, the existence born from it will definitely be much more terrifying than the previous three.

"Your Majesty, what you ordered has happened."

While thinking about it, at the edge of the Garden of Truth, a black shadow wearing armor came from a distance. Judging from the aura on his body, it was a rare and powerful undead spirit.

"Well done, Evans, where's the entrance?"

His face looks much better, and he has heard good news. Hades looked at the temple that he had once again destroyed, and couldn't help but lament its many disasters.

"Your Majesty, in my perception, the weakest entrance is near the 'Realm of Silence'. I sensed the connection but did not dare to approach it."

The undead warrior lowered his head slightly. The place he was talking about was where the ancient evil creature was born not long ago.

"There's nothing unusual there, but my instinct tells me it's dangerous, Your Majesty."

"I know about Evans. Originally, I planned to wait until the disaster is over before dealing with the last one. After all, it doesn't look aggressive...forget it, it's all the same."

Pulling himself together, Hades had a headache, but he decisively changed his plan. After all, he knew what he was looking for.

Just like Zeus discovered Asgard in the belly of Mount Olympus, as the Lord of the Underworld and possessing half of the authority, Hades also noticed something strange with the return of Queen Persephone.

Helheim, the country of the dead in Scandinavian mythology, the domain of Hela, the god of death... Although Hades did not know its name and past, it did not prevent him from being aware of its existence and the existence of it. The powerful aura of death contained in the interface.

But compared to Asgard, where the gods live, this country originating from the Nine Realms obviously has a different nature.

Gods from foreign lands can die, and there are many examples of their bodies and souls entering the kingdom of the dead after death. Even the son of God King Odin did not escape such a fate, but the gods of Chaos cannot die, which leads to Even though he knew that such a place existed, Hades was still the legitimate King of Hades, but he couldn't enter it at all.

Therefore, in order to completely locate Helheim, Hades can only rely on his undead men.

He tried his best to train them, and then let them sense the entrance to the kingdom of the dead in different places in the underworld. However, the power of mortal things was not as powerful as the gods.

So until today, perhaps through the disorder of the laws of the world, or perhaps because of the invasion of the flesh-and-blood mother tree, the turmoil in time and space caused by this series of changes finally allowed the undead to lock the location of the Kingdom of the Dead. Although Hades himself may not be able to get in, at least he can try to send the undead in.

"Very good, just stay here. I'll go there to take a look. You may need to make another trip later."

Waving his hand, Hades looked towards the area where ancient evil things were hovering.

It is better to hurry than to wait. No one knows why the [Ancient Evil Object: Crown of Silence] chose that place as its own domain. Maybe it is also corroding that interface for the external gods.

Therefore, Hades could not wait any longer. He wanted to kill - at least seal, or expel the evil thing, and then build a city there. It would be best if the undead could explore there, but if not...

"I heard that the Goddess of the Magic Network had power comparable to the true God before she obtained the priesthood... Maybe there will be a chance for such a powerful existence to be born in the human world in the future?"

Silently meditating, Hades was indifferent to this. Ever since he brought disasters, plagues, lies, and disputes to the world, he didn't care much about the beliefs of mortals, so he naturally didn't mind the birth of such a strong man among mortals. Even vaguely, he still had some expectations.

All things are mortal, and after death, they naturally become undead.

"The alien gods that infect the world, the chaotic thinking...are truly the enemy of all intelligent life."

With a flash of body, he resisted the idea of ​​taking a rest, and Hades fled into the distance.

I don't know what the situation on the ground is now...but for Pluto, it is more important to solve his own troubles.

……

"Is it really the existence that corrodes all things, the mother tree of flesh and blood? He seems to want to bring everything under his control and become a part of himself...a sinful thing."

In the starry sky, in the spiritual world corresponding to the zodiac star field, the starlight goddess Esther looks at the sun in the distance through the time and space barrier.

Being in the spirit world, the reflection of the sun is more 'real'. The trees growing on the back were gurgling and beating, and baby-shaped fruits were produced on the crowns of the trees. The old face was hidden under the flames on the surface of the sun. His expression looked gentle and kind, but inside he was filled with pain and struggle.

It was like undergoing torture - Esther could understand the pain of the sun, but she could do nothing. Ryan is not in the spirit world, and Lyanna is still trying her best to fight and expel the influence of Hades. Naturally, no one has time to pay attention to the changes in the sun.

In fact, not to mention them, even Esther himself may not care much about the sun. It’s just that the ecliptic realms are the tracks of the sun. If it really turns into the fulcrum of the mother tree in the outside world, it becomes his influence in infecting the heavens. Tool, the zodiac star field closest to it will inevitably not be spared, and the core essence of the starry sky will become a restricted area from now on.

Esther didn't want to see this happen, but she was powerless. Even the [Sun Swallower] may not be able to cope with the sun's drastically changed condition at this moment. Frowning and thinking, the Starlight Goddess was a little at a loss as to what to do, until she spotted the stream of light flying from the earth with her peripheral vision.

"That's...Athena?"

Thinking of Ryan's words before leaving, Esther's eyes lit up slightly, and she thought of a solution to the problem.

Although this will result in no sun on the earth from now on...but that is something the God King should consider. What happens in the world has nothing to do with her.
