Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

"I hope everything is as you said, Aphrodite, and remember to prepare your incarnation.

"I will prepare mine too. This time, I can only succeed, not fail."

"I also hope that what you prepared is really as useful as you said. As for my affairs, you don't need to worry about them."

Speaking quietly, Aphrodite touched her belt.

"It will work. There will be no other possibility."

"Hit the target with one strike - Athena will never have the chance to intervene, after all, that place is not her territory. Once we succeed, we will ask the kingdoms on earth to form an alliance."

"Athens has their magic and alchemy," Hera sneered and gripped the armrests of the golden throne, "but they are no match for the gods!"

"Metis, Prometheus, Athena... these gods who claim to be wise have always been so arrogant, but history will teach them a lesson."

"...Ah, yes, lessons."

Aphrodite smiled and said, "But Hera, you are still bothered by the existence of Metis."

"Do you need me to lend you my belt? To be honest, instead of worrying about a person who has died somewhere unknown, it is better to take practical actions to make the King of Gods revolve around you, instead of running around the human world every day to hunt for beauties - oh, I almost forgot."

"Your Majesty, the respected God King, he is not only hunting for beauties now—"

--boom!

A low roar echoed in the temple. When the smoke and dust settled, the goddess of beauty had disappeared, and only Hera was left in the hall.

She gasped for air, which was why she and Aphrodite had always been at odds.

It was not just because the freedom of love and beauty was in conflict with the constraints of marriage, nor was it because of the provocation of the other party's words. In fact, perhaps deep down, Hera had always been a little jealous.

She was jealous of Metis, jealous of her intelligence and her daughter's power. Even though Zeus swallowed her, it was actually because he was afraid that her children would threaten the throne.

She was jealous of Hestia, jealous of her elder sister being independent and powerful, and not dependent on any male god. If the goddess of law had not left Olympus, Themis would actually have been within the scope of her jealousy.

But compared with the former, the two goddesses' gentle and generous or fair and strict personalities made her unable to be jealous. In the end, what remained in her heart was more of envy.

But Aphrodite... had a passionate character and was obsessed with her husband. She was obsessed with her own son, but she could never restrain her husband.

Even if Hera tried to convince herself to accept all this, she couldn't accept it in the end.

"The king of gods is always arrogant. The ancient gods regarded the gods as slaves and never thought that they would dare to resist. Kronos, standing on Mount Odisha, thought that his strength could help him defeat fate, but the result was in vain."

"What about Zeus? Will there be such a day for you? If so, what will be my fate? Like Mother Earth, like Mother Goddess, or... my own fate."

In the King of Gods and the Queen of Heaven, perhaps due to some mysterious influence, they always show some advantages or disadvantages belonging to each sex.

However, even Hera herself could not tell whether her jealousy came from the influence of her position as the Queen of Heaven or her nature.

"If Zeus is always the king of gods, then let us continue to torture each other."

The sadness was only short-lived, and Hera soon recovered her spirits.

She needs to concentrate on finishing what she needs to do first, as for the future?

She is indispensable in every one of Zeus's love affairs, even though she always plays the role of a vicious and jealous woman, but she doesn't care.

It was so in the past and it will be so in the future. Let those innocent mortals who suffered hate her... She will take it one by one.

······

The sky is bright for a moment, and the world has gone through several years.

In the distant foreign land, perhaps not too long had passed. But in the Chaos world, more than a year had already passed.

This was caused by the destruction of Egypt, and it is a very normal thing.

After all, even when Chaos appeared in the world, there was a time disorder due to Typhon's Rebellion, so it was not surprising that similar things happened in the Egyptian world.

So standing on a high cliff of the Acropolis, when Ryan once again returned to the last guard of the city of Athens, this place was already very different from the last time he came.

More and better guards, materials stored in the warehouse, and even though it looked unchanged, the magic array patterns buried underground were gradually taking shape, which could be sensed with just a slight sense.

They will form a huge rune barrier, covering the entire city, and eventually play a defensive role similar to the Silvermoon City puzzle lock - the only difference is that the latter can be activated all day without pause, because the ubiquitous magic network is the source of its power, and defense is only one part of its function. The former is simply a temporary shield, and no one knows how long it can last.

But no matter what, everything before us proves that Athens had long realized the bad situation and began to prepare for war in secret.

Of course, no matter how prepared they were, these things theoretically had nothing to do with Ryan. The reason why he appeared here at this moment actually had another reason.

However, the brief unity of consciousness caused by the end of the foreign land forced Ryan to stay here temporarily and consider the various impacts that the end of Hemenu might have on him.

"At the end of Egypt, the biggest piece of the puzzle has been completed."

"Divine nature is really straightforward in doing things. Everything is moving in the direction of maximizing benefits. However, this is indeed efficient enough, and the final result is still acceptable."

"As for the gods of Egypt...compared to the current situation where almost all of the Nine Realms are dead, Chaos should accept them. But whether they can still become 'gods' is still uncertain."

Compared with most of Chaos' natural gods, Egypt has many animal gods. However, there are already various similar animals in the world today, and they probably won't be able to inherit the old business.

If they are luckier, they may be able to find a new path like Anubis; if they are averagely unlucky, they may become a divine nature spirit or totem and be worshipped by others; if they are unlucky, it is not surprising that they may be captured and enslaved by the locals.

After all, no matter what, he is a god from another world.

"These will depend on how Chaos' rules are handled, and have little to do with the existence of the world today."

"Perhaps by the time they come into the world with a changed appearance, the Third Era will have already ended."

Silently thinking, the matter of the Egyptian gods can be ignored for the time being. The only one worthy of Ryan's attention is probably Amon Ra.

After all, although he had just briefly experienced the supreme power of the realm of creation with the help of a drop of the source of creation, that power had been exhausted when Amon Ra fled.

Ryan could only judge from experience that he might not be dead - just like he said, the other party was difficult to kill.

Even with the help of Hemenu, he is a being who has truly reached the limit of the great realm and even obtained the characteristics of a higher realm. As long as he is willing enough, he should still have a chance to survive.

After all, Chaos doesn't have much intelligence. Or, if he were so smart, Ryan would have no chance of snatching food from him.

"But whether he is alive or not, he should not have the opportunity to influence my arrangements before the end of the Third Epoch."

"So next, it's the real benefit that the spirit world gets - [the sun]."

At this time, the integration of consciousness had been broken, but Ryan still remembered the feeling that Hemenu's sun gave him.

Unlike Chaos' split powers of Light and Fire, in Hermeneus these were all part of the sun god.

Of course, these are all secondary. The most powerful aspect of this sun is actually its ability to "rebirth" and "rebirth". In fact, this is its most powerful aspect.

In the entire Egyptian culture, history, mythology and even the world, the changes of life and death, the transformation of existence and extinction are the most critical part, and the sun is its representation.

Even in the spiritual world today, the power of death is constantly acting on the essence of the sun, but every time a part of it is "killed", another part is resurrected.

It can be said that if you want to annex it in this way, it will definitely take a long time.

After all, Ryan's goal was not to erase it, but to make it a part of himself. Even a powerful being like Chaos took thousands of years to completely assimilate the remains of the Nine Realms.

If Ryan intends to use this "stupid method" to solve the problem, it will only take him longer.

"If you don't rely on time, you can only wait for the right opportunity."

"Just like the formation of the interface of the four elements, it is an opportunity for me to digest the water, wind and fire source power of Hemenu. The power that would have taken at least dozens or hundreds of years to absorb was refined in an instant, and it actually boosted my strength."

Throughout the Second Age, Ryan had been in the process of "absorbing source power" and "digesting source power". From this, we can see that although eight of the Nine Pillar Gods are only powerful gods, if there is no appropriate opportunity to assist, then this source will definitely not melt in the mouth.

Fortunately, Ryan had already had corresponding ideas about the sun since the day he knew the existence of the Hemenu world. And as Helios was eroded by the mother tree, the balance of fate tilted again.

If nothing unexpected happens, a great-level [Sun] is destined to rise in the world, but the process and way of its rising will probably be beyond everyone's expectations.

"Yes, there is also the Ancient Moon Essence that originally belonged to Thoth, but was replaced by Ra with a magical power that was more suitable for him."

"As the foundation of the spiritual world, the moon cannot be pulled too far away from the sun."

There is no special opportunity to digest this power, but fortunately the spiritual world is no longer what it used to be, and it was not that powerful to begin with, so it should be digested quickly.

However, according to Ryan's judgment, even if this alien moon is added, the concept of Chaos Moon may still not be as good as the Sun.

The sun is the supreme being in the starry sky, and the moon seems to have always been its foil.

Even if he could get Hemenu's moon again, Ryan didn't think its power could be broken through, or even give birth to a moon god of a great realm.

"In addition to the sun and the moon, the legacy that Ra left behind is the history that he himself symbolizes..."

"According to the current situation, the past of this world will eventually become the food of the [Book of Years], which will be completely completed and recast the moment He arrives in Chaos. And the civilization He has evolved over tens of millions of years will become the nourishment of the [Slate of Civilization], and it will even be much stronger than what those who originally believed in God have done over the years.

"Compared to these, the Book of the Dead in La's hand has to stand aside. Although the two powerful divine powers are also valuable, they are actually just better than nothing."

Long ago, [Reincarnation] had reached a limit.

The life and death that constitute it have reached the limit of the great divine power, and only a small critical point is left. But Ryan is also very clear that this point cannot be achieved by the accumulation of quantity, it also requires an opportunity.

This opportunity is not about how much source power related to life and death is piled in, but an event or node that is sufficiently symbolic. It must be related to life and death at the same time, not just one of them.
