Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

In the underworld, Hades' figure flashed quickly.

The sky seemed to tilt for a moment, causing the stars to fall to the earth. He was trying to get away from the center of the impact and try his best to mobilize his strength to stabilize the underworld.

That is to say, the sky of the underworld is not the real sky, and it does not need any tools to support the sky. Otherwise, the fall of Zeus would destroy more than just the Garden of Truth.

whoosh-

The 'meteor' streaked across the air, and after only a brief pause, the 'celestial body' continued to droop.

Black flames wrapped around the outer edge of the 'meteor', and the fire of hell continued to burn on Zeus' body.

That is one of the symbols of hell. The divided Muspelheim brought fire to the Nine Hells, and the inherent darkness of the silver humans gave the fire a tendency. Together, they constituted the devil fire that belonged to hell. Of course, although the origin seemed to be not small, it did not mean that the fire had the ability to burn Zeus.

For Zeus, these flames burning on his body could not actually cause him any harm. In fact, the only thing they could prove was that he really had no time to care about anything else.

"Ugh—get up!"

Zeus raised his head with his hands, and his eyes flashing with lightning and fire met the huge snake pupils in the sky.

Only this big snake, as expected, although he had fallen into the trap just now, at least he had succeeded to a small extent.

The Lord of the Nine Hells, who had taken his attack head-on, was definitely not feeling well, and the fact that the other party did not pursue his victory was proof of that. Now, as long as he could block the attack of this terrifying monster, he still had a chance to save the situation...

Yes, a monster. In Zeus' eyes, the Serpent of Midgard was undoubtedly like the Giants and Typhon, an existence that did not belong to the divine system, and a demon that was not recognized by most gods.

"Uh... give it to me!"

He tried his best, and under Zeus's wide eyes, his falling speed did not seem to increase that fast.

When he left the abyss and returned to the real world, his strength increased at a very fast speed. If there was enough time, he would be fully capable of blocking this attack.

However, the next moment, Zeus realized in despair that he might not have that much time, because although his falling speed slowed down, the distance between the underworld and the earth was far smaller than that on the ground.

Before he could fully recover his strength, the earth was already within reach. Zeus even felt that his lower body was about to touch something hard and sharp, and the sharp feeling of the metal was so clear.

But this was probably an illusion. There were no enemies in the underworld, and he didn't sense the presence of other gods below him. Excluding the possibility that someone was holding a weapon and preparing to attack him, it couldn't be that the geology of the underworld had changed... huh?

As he fell uncontrollably, Zeus's expression suddenly changed. Pain continued to come from his body, flesh and metal collided with each other - when did the ground and palace of Hades become so hard? ? !

laugh--!

In an instant, blood splattered.

Zeus, who was trying his best to fight against the giant snake, had no idea that he would be stabbed in the back again from below. The sharp edges of the Pluto Temple were like sharp blades, stabbing towards him fiercely under the influence of Zeus' own falling force.

The expression on his face twisted instantly. Under normal circumstances, although these buildings were strong, they could not do anything to Zeus's body; if he still had even a trace of strength left, his instinctive defense would not allow him to be hurt so easily; even if the owner of these palaces was not the Lord of the Underworld, and Hades did not mobilize his strength to stabilize the land of the underworld, then the greatest possibility for them would be that they would be blasted into a lower place in the collision and buried in the ruins by smoke and dust.

But in reality, Hades did not dare to let Zeus hit the ground of the underworld without any preparation. So standing in the distance, watching the trajectory of Zeus's fall, Hades only hesitated for a moment and continued to maintain the toughness of the ground.

Well, Zeus only suffered a little, and he came to the underworld without saying hello. In any case, this is much better than the underworld being hurt and him suffering the backlash.

So when the earth was strengthened by the power of the entire underworld, the originally continuous buildings were like ore sandwiched between iron felt and a forging hammer. They would either melt themselves or be broken by the two things that hammered them.

And the result this time... naturally, all three of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.

boom--!

The heaven and earth were still for a moment, and then a huge earthquake resounded through the void, accompanied by the roar of the God King echoing under the sky of the underworld.

"Ah--H-DI-S??!"

One impact turned most of the Garden of Truth into a basin.

The originally endless complex of buildings had vanished into thin air, but Zeus, who had caused all this, was not having an easy time either.

Although gods can regenerate flesh and blood, it takes some time. At least Zeus, who was caught in an unexpected accident, had no time to rebuild the missing half of his body.

So at this moment, a large amount of specially cast divine metals were interspersed in his flesh and blood. These materials, which were close to the strength of divine weapons, were not so easily erased. But Zeus couldn't understand why Hades spent so much money just to build a palace, and what was his purpose?

Could it be that Hades has a hidden ability of prophecy, and he knew that I would be injured here today, so he deliberately built such a building? This joke is not funny at all!

boom--

In the center of the huge basin, with another tremor, Zeus stood up from the ruins. The muscles in his bloody body squirmed, constantly expelling broken metal fragments.

The damned building had completely disappeared, and at this moment the God King looked up at the sky. He looked at the giant snake that had stopped attacking him since he fell, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.

The opponent did not continue to attack because Zeus, who had left the abyss and returned to the world, was no longer so easy to deal with. The advantage of one move was enough, and continuing would only give him a chance to turn the tables.

Even Zeus himself could be sure that if the giant snake dared to continue to attack him, the order of the world would respond and begin to strengthen itself to restrict this enemy from outside the world.

But just as he had seen, the opponent withdrew in time, after an attack with almost absolute advantage, and Zeus, as the king of gods, had just forcibly used his royal power in Tartarus, and he could not violate the order again in a short period of time and start a fight in the world.

This was clearly his own plan - to retreat directly after winning a move in the abyss. But now, the lives in the abyss may have seen his "heroic figure" in repelling the Lord of Hell, but the process of him being knocked to the ground was also seen by the lives in the underworld.

In fact, it was not just the underworld. At least the primitive gods that covered the underworld were definitely watching all of this.

"This snake...and Hades!"

Unexpected things happened one after another, and this damn feudal system. If the underworld was under his direct control, then once he left the abyss, he could instantly mobilize the power of the entire underworld to bless himself, so how could he be beaten into the ground by the other party in such a miserable way.

But things have come to this point, and there is no way to change it... The aura rose from his body, spreading out in an almost provocative manner, but the giant snake in the sky did not react at all. It was like he was watching a clown performance, his unknown length of body twisting and turning.

"call--"

Zeus exhaled slowly. The opponent would not continue to fight with him according to his idea. At the portal of the abyss, the breath of the previous opponent was faintly revealed.

Although he didn't know why he didn't stand up together, at this moment, Zeus could only suffer this loss.

"Who are you and why did you attack me?"

With a gleam in his eyes, Zeus asked loudly.

He was expecting a response from the other party, be it "all's fair in war" or even directly mocking him for not noticing it in time, he could accept any of that.

However, high in the sky, the humanized head of the giant snake seemed to smile, and a hint of malice flashed across its body.

"Sneak attack, God King of the present world, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Have you forgotten that just now, I almost beat you to death by myself - oh, I almost forgot.

"The living gods... have to maintain their dignity, right?"

"shut up!"

A faint voice echoed in the sky, and Zeus' vision almost went dark.

It was obviously him who was doing the things like tampering with the truth. When did even these monsters who are not gods learn to lie with their eyes open?

However, when he looked around, Zeus found it embarrassing that it seemed, perhaps, probably, that no one could prove to him what had happened in the abyss.

······

The Sea of ​​Pontonoris, below the deep trench.

There was no difference from his previous position. Contrary to what many people thought, when Erebus noticed the changes in the abyss, he did not rush forward to get involved.

On the contrary, he was just watching from the perspective of his own field. Of course, he also opened a "live broadcast" for Pontos beside him.

After all, unlike on earth, what happens on earth will most likely be transmitted to the underworld, because every corner of the earth can lead to the portal to the underworld, but the reverse is not necessarily true. This is also brought about by its unique space-time structure.

In addition to being a "spectator", faced with such a practical example, Erebus decisively played the role of "commentator".

But his 'explanation'...is obviously a bit unfair.

"Look, Pontus, as I said before, once Uranus wakes up, Zeus may not be able to protect your safety at all, so there is no point in relying on him."

"You are also a god who has lived through three eras. You have witnessed the clashes between great divine powers more than once. You should know that as beings in the same field, there is a huge gap between us, just like the huge gap between you and those true gods with weak divine powers."

He spoke with a smile, listening to the conversation coming from the giant snake in the image in front of him. Although Erebus thought in his heart that the other party was completely making up stories, he still provided evidence as the original god at this moment.

"Who is Zeus and what are his achievements?"

"At the end of the Second Age, when he stood in front of Kronos, he dared not even utter a sound, and could only hide behind Gaia and tremble. Later, he became great with the help of the throne of the God King, but his performance was far inferior to that of his grandfather and father. The results of their respective battles with Gaia are proof of this."

"Uranus's strength was greatly weakened, but he was still able to suppress Gaia and the twelve Titans. When Kronos was at his peak, he could subdue Gaia and capture the sun with just one hand. And what about Zeus? He could only win by relying on the opponent to make mistakes. Even so, he fought for three days and three nights before making the Earth Mother retreat."

"…Maybe, but what about Typhon?"

It was well-reasoned and convincing, but although Pontos felt that what Erebus said made sense, he still asked again.

After all, he was not very clear about the difference in power between the great gods, and there was no other standard of measurement except for battle records.

"Typhon, why? Its last battle with Zeus took place near the sea. Pontus, don't tell me you don't know what's going on."

With a faint smile, Erebus showed no mercy:

"If conspiracy and trickery can be considered strength, then do you think Zeus has a chance to give Uranus a 'one-day fruit'? He is a tyrant, not a madman. Without the help of external objects, how can he fight against his father who is far more powerful than himself?"

"Pontos, the current situation is a clear proof. Any great god who pops up from nowhere can beat Zeus like this. At best, he is an ally of the sea gods in the future to fight against the Father God, not a king. Moreover, in the face of this situation, Zeus, as the king of gods, not only does not face up to the gap, but he immediately tries to use his traditional skills to confuse right and wrong, trying to describe his failure as 'carelessness' and 'sneak attack' like Typhon did."

"Then the question is, Pontus, do you believe what he says?"

"...Of course I don't believe it. This is not the first time he has done such superficial work. Your Highness Erebus, you are right. Zeus is indeed unable to protect the lineage of Poseidon in front of Uranus."

After a moment's silence, considering that the other party had a criminal record, Pontos decided to trust the big snake and the Lord of Darkness.

After all, everyone knows that they are monsters. How can these lunatics tell lies? Therefore, what He said could not be a lie.
