Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Hell is different from the outside world. Among the nine hells, women are a rare sight because there were no women in the Silver Generation.

Most of the women that exist today are demons that were born later. Although there are some powerful ones among them, most of them do not have the ability to operate in the human world.

In this case, there would be no other woman who came from hell and could participate in the banquet of the gods and meet all three conditions.

Ceto, a mermaid who was deceived by the great devil Mephistopheles into becoming his helper, who once drank the blood of God, later became the true god of false beauty.

Only she met these conditions, and the golden apple only made sense to her. "Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess" limited the conditions for fighting for it, and only the gods recognized by the gods could snatch it.

At this moment, the golden apple that was the focus of all the gods was right in front of Keto, and he could reach it as long as he stretched out his hand.

"What's happening here?"

"When did she come? Why didn't I receive any notification?"

He exclaimed in a low voice. Sitting in a prominent position close to the God-King, Nereus, the eldest son of the primordial sea god Pontus and the gentle and kind sea, was a little at a loss for a moment.

What he said actually made no sense. After all, Keto was one of the few gods in the world who could travel to the palace of the original sea god without notifying anyone in advance and without being stopped. Moreover, compared to the unfamiliarity of other gods, Nereus knew of Keto's existence.

In other words, in the human world, Ketuo had been active and openly for thousands of years, and the reason why she was not well-known among mortals was simply because she deliberately kept a low profile.

As a true god who also defected to the Nine Hells, Cetoko is different from Mephistopheles and Crius.

The former was an undocumented person, and had always been one. A quasi-god that suddenly appeared was enough to attract a lot of attention, and could easily draw the attention of the divine court. Therefore, although he often traveled to the human world, the great devil was always cautious.

As for the latter, Crius was of course a god of status in the original, but after reincarnation, the situation faced by this old weather Titan was no different from that of Mephistopheles.

He was now an illegal account, especially after the First Abyss War, when Crius reshaped his body with regional characteristics. Moreover, even without considering the issue of reincarnation and cancellation, he was also a prisoner exiled by the Gods. If possible, Zephyrus and Poseidon, who exercised the meteorological authority on his behalf, would probably attack him as soon as they found him.

But Keto was different. When she first met Mephistopheles, she was still attending the feast of the gods in Olympus. She took the initiative to leave the sacred mountain, and the reason was only because of the existence of Aphrodite.

She had not been wanted by the gods, nor had she offended any gods in the world, or committed any crimes, so she did not need to hide her existence. And the thing that Keto was most worried about before - the danger of being seen through by the real goddess of beauty and exposing her true face covered in false beauty to the gods, no longer existed.

Just as Mephistopheles once promised, although the true appearance of the gods is difficult to change, that is their innate appearance, but there are always exceptions to everything.

Therefore, even though she was covered by Ketuo's authority, what appeared before the gods was no longer her distorted half-snake, half-fish form, but her agile and charming figure.

The long and slender tail sways behind it, and a pair of small pointed horns grow on its head, with darkness and fire belonging to purgatory swirling and burning in it.

Although this is still different from the existence of most gods, just like the wings of some gods, Keto's new image will not be rejected by the gods like those giants, but will be regarded as a characteristic.

Even in the eyes of some gods, this is a special plus point.

Snapped--

It seemed like a long time, but in fact it was only a moment. With a crisp sound, in the dead silent hall, Aphrodite's armrest shattered.

However, at this moment, the goddess of beauty seemed unaware of what she had done. She just stared at Keto's existence, as if she was looking at an enemy.

At that moment, the gods who were originally startled by Andrea also woke up. In any case, the golden apple seemed to have a home, but who was this strange god? Why didn't they have any impression of him?

However, others would be confused, but Aphrodite would not. Although she did not know Keto, it did not affect her attack.

tear-

"Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you come here to attend the banquet of the God King and fight for the ownership of the golden apple!"

The quick movement tore the lapels of her clothes, and Aphrodite's voice was even a little sharp. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she just felt angry.

After reincarnation, Keto's appearance has changed a lot, and even the false image she created with her power is different. Except for the original sea god with the same bloodline, basically no gods will equate her with the original god.

But the body can change, but the authority cannot be replaced.

Almost at the first sight, when Aphrodite saw in person this goddess whom she had never seen before, a great sense of emptiness and malice rose in her heart.

She wanted to kill the other person - even though the gods were immortal, for some reason, Aphrodite just wanted to kill the other person!

Perhaps she couldn't tolerate the title of 'the most beautiful goddess' falling on anyone other than herself... Anyway, at this moment, Aphrodite seemed to have forgotten where she was.

Strength surged through her body, and she took a step forward, rushing towards the god whose power was obviously inferior to hers.

For some unknown reason, none of the gods present tried to stop it. Even Zeus, who was supposed to maintain order, did nothing as he recalled the vague sense of familiarity.

He wanted to see why Keto made him feel familiar and what was so special about him - but the next moment, the situation was beyond the gods' expectations.

brush--

With a sideways move, Keto avoided Aphrodite's random attack.

She grabbed the other person's collar with her backhand and pressed it down hard.

With a dull thud, the goddess of beauty fell to the ground immediately. At this moment, Keto even had enough room to take the golden apple, and then lowered his head to look down at the existence that he once avoided at all costs.

"Aphrodite, huh?"

During this trip to the human world, Keto received two orders. One was from the Lord of Midgard, who foresaw the birth of the Golden Apple dispute and asked her to return to Hell with it as soon as possible. The other was from the Lord of the Nine Hells, who asked her to do the exact opposite. Asmodeus ordered her to stir up disputes among the gods and start a war in the human world, but she just had to remember to avoid Silvermoon City.

However, Ketuo didn't need to consider how to choose. The county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. If the current manager's position was not lower than the county magistrate, then it would be a no-brainer. In addition, the gods of Silver Moon City did not come to this banquet, so this request was equivalent to nothing... Feeling the surging power in his body, Ketuo smiled wantonly.

"I am Keto, the daughter of the primordial sea god and the symbol of the danger of the sea. Part of this palace belongs to me, so why can't I be here?"

"On the contrary, you... are worthy of being the weakest of the Olympian gods. Compared to your face, your martial arts skills are simply a joke."

Aphrodite was still struggling, but even far out at sea, above the trench where Pontos lay sleeping, a considerable portion of the law’s suppression of the gods still existed.

When the advantage of divine power was equalized, the battle between the two goddesses of beauty became a one-sided fight. Holding the golden apple, at this moment, an interesting thought came to Keto's mind.

She raised her hand and wrote two more words on the golden apple, then gently pulled it, and three pieces of peel fell off. Before anyone else could react, Keto took a step back. She released her control over the goddess of beauty, then slapped Aphrodite in the face with her backhand, smearing the three pieces of peel on her face.

Snapped--

The golden apple, which was rooted in the flesh and contained a powerful life force, was difficult to destroy even if it was just a piece of peel. The next moment, Aphrodite's face was exposed to the gods.

"If you want the golden apple, just say so, but I think you only deserve this skin; you want to be the 'most beautiful goddess', but I think this suits you better, hahahaha——"

Keto laughed and said contemptuously:

"Aphrodite, how do you feel? Why don't you thank me for the gift I gave you?"

There were three pieces of peel and three lines of writing. Only the middle one on the forehead was written by the engraver. Now, only the word "美" was left on the golden apple.

As for Aphrodite's face... from left to right, it was only engraved with [Dedicated to the most useless goddess].

……

"Ah ah ah ah ah……!"

"Keto! Ares, kill her for me!"

Aphrodite was stunned at the first sight and didn't even react to what was happening.

But the next moment, she saw her own embarrassment from the eyes of the other gods.

The flames of shame and anger almost burned her to ashes. She rubbed her cheeks frantically with her hands, but the marks left by the golden apple were obviously not so easily erased.

In fact, as a tonic, Aphrodite didn't need to do anything. When she completely absorbed the power contained in the golden apple, the words would naturally disappear, and the life force in it could even have some beautifying effects. But for the goddess of beauty at this moment, she couldn't stand even a minute or a second.

Covering his face with his hands, the sharp voice echoed above the temple, and the God of War finally reacted and realized what happened after his wife screamed. He immediately drew his sword and wanted to get back at Keto.

In terms of divine power, Ares is actually not as good as the goddess of beauty. But in terms of combat power, even if the suppression of divine power by the law is not taken into account, he can beat two Aphrodites at once.

In places where the laws are strictly enforced, it is even more obvious. For example, right now, he is more than capable of defeating ten goddesses of beauty on the sea. The difference between the two sides in skills and physique is huge. If Keto, who was once the mother of the sea monster, has a powerful body, then Ares, the god of war, is not much worse.

However, Ares, who drew his sword in anger, apparently forgot that this was the palace of the ancient sea god, and all the gods were gathered here at the moment.

"enough!"

With a loud shout, a vast aura surged from Zeus' body.

The situation on the field changed in a flash.

He did not bother to explore the familiar feeling on Keto any more. The King of Gods looked around expressionlessly, causing several other gods who were eager to try to quickly give up their ideas.

"Your Majesty, please take her down immediately. How dare she humiliate me like this!"

As if she saw a savior, Aphrodite immediately shouted for help.

The artifact belt gleamed on her body, but Keto took his time.

"Why, Aphrodite, does it still make sense for you to attack me in my temple?"

"I didn't break any laws of the Gods, but the Goddess of Beauty wanted to kill me. I got the golden apple according to the rules set by the King of Gods himself, but you are not very satisfied with it."

"Your Majesty, the goddess of beauty and her husband tried to attack me in front of all the gods, but as the daughter of the ancient sea god, I will not resort to force. Please make a judgment on this matter, Your Majesty the Fair God King - you know, I repaid evil with kindness. Not only did I not use cruel means on her, I also gave her a gift to maintain the remaining face!"

As he spoke, Keto looked in the direction of the Goddess of Beauty and the God of War provocatively.

Sometimes you can break the rules, and sometimes you can't.

Since Zeus has invited all the gods in heaven and on earth together, Keto really doesn't believe that he will do irrational things for Aphrodite.
