Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 449 Fame

Achilles gave up the chance to leave and chose to stay, not only because he wanted to challenge the gods, but also because he didn't want Chiron to stay here any longer.

After all, no matter how smoothly the Centaur said before, both of them knew that even if there were no guards here, it would still not be easy for them to leave safely.

No one knew when the gods would discover that Achilles had escaped, perhaps in a day, perhaps in just a moment.

Once discovered, he may still have his indestructible body to rely on, and Chiron may not be able to leave.

In this case, let the teacher leave first.

It is enough to keep him as the leading actor of this drama.

"Nonsense, Achilles, where do you think this place is, and who do you think the King of Gods is?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have learned some skills. There are countless beings in this world who are more powerful than you. If the King of Gods is furious, there is no chance of you surviving—"

"——But teacher, if Zeus is really so powerful, then why are you able to come here safely on Mount Olympus, in his domain?"

Speaking in a deep voice, Achilles looked in the direction Chiron had come from.

"You once told me about the power of the original gods, but if this is true, then I would never have been able to leave, because such a powerful god would not be blind to what is in front of him. And if this is false, then let me expose his powerful lies."

"No matter what the outcome, I have no regrets. Besides, if I can't even defeat the God King who has been replaced twice, how can I overturn the fate of 'dying in war'?"

Silently, Achilles' last words touched Chiron.

Yes, he almost forgot that his student was burdened with such a prophecy, and that was why the Centaur asked him to leave.

Moreover, at this moment, Chiron himself was somewhat shaken.

During the Battle of Typhon, he was hiding from the disaster in Silvermoon City and did not see the battle between the God-King and the Ancestor of All Monsters.

But as early as the turning point of the Second Era, he had witnessed the power of the previous God-King with his own eyes.

Even if you travel from the east to the west of the continent, it is only one step.

From the starry sky to the sea, it is just a matter of turning your hand.

In the presence of such a being, he was able to enter the sacred mountain safely, which was unreasonable in the first place.

But perhaps because he was too worried about his students, he had not realized this before.

"...Perhaps you are right, Achilles. If you want to break your fate, you need the courage to face death."

"Perhaps this is your chance. In this case, you should make good use of this sword."

"The person who gave it to me told me that this sword is destined to come to the world for a while at the end of this era. This is its destiny and the destiny of the sun, but its true owner may not be you."

“So if one day you feel someone needs it more, don’t hesitate to follow the outcome you want.”

Seeing that Achilles had made up his mind, Chiron finally just sighed.

Being young and full of energy and not knowing how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is is certainly not a good thing.

After all, he became famous at a young age and did not know how to be respectful, nor did he know where the real power in this world lies.

But think about it seriously, even if the former gods ruled the sun, moon, stars and possessed the most powerful power in the world, could they have overcome fate and reversed the outcome of failure?

I'm afraid not, and they all lost badly.

Even if gods are immortal, how is their fate any different from death?

One has disappeared without a trace, while the other is still hanging in the sky, overlooking the creatures on earth in its deep sleep.

If even the King of Gods is like this, what about Achilles?

If the existing methods cannot fight against the inevitable death, it would be better to let him go in the direction he wants.

After all, I can rescue him from the sacred mountain, but I can't change his fate.

Ultimately, he can only take this step by himself.

"I have had many students, but now I think about it, they all ended up dying along the paths they chose."

"You're not the first... but I hope you're different."

"Of course I will, sir."

"Perhaps war is my calamity, just as Ares vowed."

"He said it himself. Between him and me, only one of us can survive."

Touching the stone box in front of him, the young hero said slowly: "He is right."

"Just as the prophecy said."

"Between me and 'War', only you die and I live."

······

Following the narrow road, Chiron finally left Olympus again.

The Centaur had mixed feelings, but also some relief.

But apart from that, doubts gradually surfaced in his mind.

Chiron had been running around without giving it much thought.

But now that I think about it, what Achilles said actually makes a lot of sense.

The secret passage connecting the inside and outside of the sacred mountain was undoubtedly built by the Sun God, so it was no problem for him to hide it from other gods.

But the question is, as the king of gods who is rumored to have achieved great divine power, and as the master of Mount Olympus, Zeus actually knew nothing about this?

Chiron didn't know the answer, but he didn't know if it was a psychological effect. When he thought about this, he always felt that someone was staring at him.

But maybe he was overthinking it. After all, even if Zeus really discovered it, he couldn't sense the other party's gaze.

……

"Well, stop looking, he's gone."

"Haha, I really have to say that the so-called 'witchcraft' created by Hecate is indeed magical. Her attainments in the spiritual realm also surprise me."

"Even from such a distance, he can feel your gaze. This kind of sensing ability is far beyond the reach of many gods."

At an unknown time, at the top of Mount Olympus, in another space that overlapped and intertwined with the Golden Palace.

The blond and handsome god drank the wine while holding a charming beauty in his arms.

In front of the two of them, the void was slightly rippling, and everything in the Temple of the Sun was so clearly visible.

There is no doubt that no one else except Zeus can view the sacred mountain so casually in the Asgard.

The reason why he appeared here was very simple. Since there was no need to worry about Hercules' affairs for the time being and the battle between the Gods and Athens had just begun, as the King of Gods, there was no need for him to stay in the God Mountain and go anywhere else.

And as Achilles said, since there is nothing in the spiritual world that can be hidden from the Lord of the spiritual world, and there is nothing in the lightless realm that can be hidden from Erebus, then naturally there should be nothing on Mount Olympus that can be hidden from him, Zeus.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, Ares' act of stealing the power of thunder during the day was enough to attract the attention of the King of Gods.

Without his tacit consent, even if the God of War was his offspring, he would never be able to use the power of thunder and lightning.

Even in the records of later myths, only Hera could have dark clouds and thunder accompany her when she traveled. As for Ares...

Does this piece of trash deserve it?

"Haha, that's quite interesting. After all, Clymene...his doubts are reasonable."

"As the King of Gods, I actually acquiesced to the existence of such a secret passage on the sacred mountain - and you must be very surprised, because how did he know about this secret passage?"

"Logically, no one should know about this place except you and Helios... Don't look at me, I didn't reveal this to anyone."

Zeus smiled and talked to the beauty in his arms, as if he didn't notice her changing expression.

He tacitly acknowledged the existence of this secret passage. On the one hand, he naturally knew that the 'secret passage' was the 'open passage', and on the other hand, it was naturally because of this beauty.

Ever since Helios sealed the starry sky, the goddess of fame, who had lost her lover, changed her target without hesitation.

To this day, Zeus still remembers the woman crying and telling him about her miserable experiences, how the god of speech was useless and how Helios had deceived her feelings.

For this matter, she asked the king of gods to help confirm whether she was not contaminated by the power of the mother tree, and Zeus agreed.

Then, just like many times in the past, after confirming everything, the two rolled onto the bed.

"It's Iapetus, only him!"

Gritting her teeth slightly, Clymene ignored Zeus's teasing and instantly grasped the point of the matter.

So that's why. No wonder the God of Speech has always ignored her and treated her like a clown.

Damn, isn't it because of you that I have come this far?

As the goddess of fame, the desire for a higher status and power is an instinct driven by the priesthood.

You should understand me instead of blaming me after letting me go!

What's more, if you weren't so unknown, how could I have come to this point today... I do this mostly because of you.

"Your Majesty, this is an offense and contempt to you. Humans and gods like this should be punished with death so that the world can respect your authority."

She spoke each word with great emphasis. Although he was her husband in name only, Clymene felt as if she was facing an enemy, or perhaps a stain on her divine life.

Since you want to live in seclusion, just stay there for the rest of your life. Why come out?

It would be fine if you just came out, but why do you want to go against the King of Gods?

Clymene knew too well how ruthless Zeus was. Even though he seemed to treat her well, it was clear from the fact that he had never made their relationship public that she was actually nothing in his eyes.

She didn't want to be regarded as a traitor by Zeus... However, in response to the advice of the Goddess of Fame, Zeus just shook his head.

"Don't worry, I know I'm the only one in your heart."

"But Clymene, what they did is actually what I wanted."

"Achilles, the sword of the angels from the spirit world, the centaurs from Silvermoon City, the sun... You know, I have seen this sword a long time ago, at least part of it."

"Do you know how I felt when I saw it? You don't know."

"Fear, worry, envy, anger, helplessness... After all, at that time, I seemed too weak in front of the person who created this sword."

"Your Majesty, I..."

Somewhat confused, Clymene had obviously been unable to keep up with Zeus' train of thought.

Who can make the God King feel fear? No, that was only before the God King touched greatness.

Everyone has their weak moments, and the Wind God was no exception...

But Clymene didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.

However, she did not realize that the King of Gods' words were not meant for her. Strictly speaking, in Zeus' eyes, the Goddess of Fame was just a decoration.

A more beautiful ornament, at most it is a little special because it is a god.

In addition, he has many more ornaments like this.

"I know he wants to overturn the sacred mountain - that's fine."

“The mountain cannot fall, but everything else can be negotiated.”

"This mortal wants to challenge me, that's fine."

"I will never lay a hand on him until he comes in front of me."

Zeus continued speaking without paying any attention to Clymene.

After hesitating for a moment, Clymene thought she had found the right idea and asked carefully.

"…Then Your Majesty, are you going to give him a fatal blow when he is at his most proud?"

"of course not."

Zeus smiled again, shook his head, and said casually: "If I wanted to kill him, why would I go through so much trouble?"

"As the king of gods, all gods in this world should obey my orders. Why should I, a mere mortal, take action?"

"Even if that day really comes, my messenger will naturally come forward. He will invite the 'highly respected' gods in the world to suppress this mortal."

"This kind of story... makes sense, right?"

Zeus' smile was warm, but for no reason, Clymene shuddered.

A 'highly respected' god... So what exactly does His Majesty the King of Gods intend to do?

Who does he want to invite, who does he need to invite?

Or maybe... he just wanted to see who would actually come if he 'invited' them.

Whether you come or not, this is the answer.

Even though it was a forced answer, it was still a choice.

And in this world, the only one who is truly qualified to force those gods to give answers, apart from the original gods, is Zeus.

"Your Majesty...you are truly far-sighted."

Whispering a compliment, Clymene felt panic at this moment, but inexplicably, she was also a little excited.

Yes, that's it.

This is what she wants.
