Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Flapping his wings, the god of the west wind turned into a bird and flew freely in the sky.

Instead of directly controlling the power of the wind, birds use their unique structure to harness the air currents.

Even for Zeferos, this was a rare and novel experience.

But things have their priorities... After a while, the God of West Wind folded his wings and landed on the frame of a peculiarly shaped car.

Without any support, wheels or human control, it floats in the air about a palm's length above the ground, running automatically along a certain trajectory.

This seems to be an application of the power of the earth. Its builders use it to fight against the force that makes all things go down... However, even though he perceived this with the senses of a god, Zephyrus still did not understand the specific principles.

It was truly luxurious! Even in the temple on earth, he had never used anything like this.

But judging from the aroma in the air, this is just a vehicle for transporting wine.

This is witchcraft, this is alchemy... For a moment, Zeferos felt that he understood some of the nobles in the human kingdom.

On the one hand, they obeyed the will of God and suppressed the reputation of Silvermoon City in the western countries, but on the other hand, they never stopped their desire for witchcraft creations.

In the past, the God of the West Wind only regarded this as the rebellious nature of mortals, but now, he seemed to be a little interested.

"No, this is still different."

"Those humans were just here for fun, but I was here to explore the hidden power of Silvermoon City. How can the two be equated?"

"As a god, I need to make decisions with foresight, and in order to do that, I should also understand the daily life of my enemies."

Nodding secretly in his heart, Zeferos couldn't help but admire the height of his own thinking.

This level of realm is probably 70% of the level of a God King.

……

Immersed in his own world, the suspended frame is also slowly moving forward.

The closer you get, the more majestic and magnificent the tall bronze gate appears.

The portal was large enough to support dozens or even hundreds of people passing through at the same time, but there was no congestion. Amid the dense flow of people, there were only a few round, light golden spheres floating in it.

He had no time to care about the surrounding environment. As he got closer, Zeferos felt a little nervous.

There was no way. Although he was proud of his unparalleled concealment skills, the witchcraft of the Demon Net Goddess was equally extraordinary.

So if something goes wrong, will he choose to run, or wait and see the situation before running?

No matter what choice you make, this is the most critical moment...

"——Sir, please wait a moment."

"!"

The frame entered the range covered by the [Bronze Gate], and the power of the mystery lock seemed to be right in front of us.

However, just when the God of West Wind was most nervous, a voice suddenly rang in his ears and made his feathers explode.

How could this be possible? There was clearly no sign of any life approaching. Who on earth could have approached me so silently?

In an instant, Zeferos' whole body tensed up.

He turned around little by little and secretly prepared himself for a sudden attack.

He who strikes first will gain the strength, and he who strikes later will suffer. If something goes wrong, he will have to do it himself first... The God of West Wind prepared himself secretly, but the next moment, he was stunned again.

"Ahem, excuse me, Mr. Bird, please don't get excited."

"I don't mean to offend you, but as the 9,527th bird entering Silvermoon City today, please cooperate with me in the relevant registration matters."

"Only after the registration is completed will the gate of Silvermoon City be open to you."

"what?"

In front of Zeferos, a pale golden sphere was vibrating slightly.

It made sounds like a living thing, but at this moment the God of West Wind could be sure that it was just a simple lump of iron.

Only after confirming this did Zeferos suddenly relax.

"call--"

"This is really..."

It was a false alarm, and the God of West Wind breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat helpless.

So that's how it is. It's just another creation of witchcraft. It's not a living thing at all, and I focused my energy on sensing life and the mystery of this place. No wonder I didn't find any trace of it.

But have these mortals developed so far now that there are even thousands of intelligent and communicative birds flying in and out of the city every day?

“It’s amazing, is this some kind of enlightenment method?

"But if this is true, then the bird I killed before..."

With the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, Zeferos looked at the golden ball waiting for him, and did not intend to remain silent.

Since he wasn't discovered and it was just Silvermoon City's normal procedure for dealing with 'alien animals', he would just cooperate.

It's Hercules...If you hadn't been running around, why would I be here?

"I understand. I will cooperate with you if you need anything."

The heart does not match the words, the God of the West Wind spoke.

He didn't know what the so-called process was, but that didn't stop him from agreeing.

However, the next moment, Zeferos' heart, which had just been relieved, was once again hanging in the air.

"Ding--"

With a slight sound, the light golden sphere in front of the God of West Wind suddenly shook and instantly turned from gold to silver.

Just when Zeferos was at a loss, the voice of the ball came again, but this time, its voice was obviously more serious.

"Language elements detected, avian life detected."

"Dear Mr. Bird, please verify again, can you communicate with humans?"

"!"

The feathers exploded again. The God of the West Wind never imagined that other birds could not speak.

No, this seems normal. After all, even if birds have the same intelligence as humans, their physiological structure is destined to prevent them from making sounds like humans.

As a god born in the Second Age, Zephyros had experienced the creation of humans, and he was well aware of the difficulty of creating life from scratch.

Could it be that he, the great God of the West Wind, had not been discovered by the mysterious lock of the Goddess of the Magic Net, but was going to fail at this small hurdle?

"...According to data records, except for a very small number of birds that are naturally able to imitate human voices, only birds that have undergone a life-like training ritual or are above Legendary can communicate normally with humans."

"If this is true, the registration process will be changed. Please confirm again."

The sound of the sphere did not stop, and it obviously ignored the thoughts that flashed through the mind of the God of West Wind.

At the same time, after hearing the second half of the sentence, Zeferos hurriedly stopped his action of running away.

"..."

"you***"

A little speechless, at this moment, the God of West Wind felt like a dog tempted by a bone.

In just a few words, his mood fluctuated.

But there is no way, you have to go in... Since you haven't been discovered, the result is always in a good direction.

"Yes, I can communicate with normal humans."

With a slight nod, Zeferos had no choice but to confirm.

After all, the words have been said. If I deny it now, it will be troublesome.

"Ding--"

"Entry successful, the information has been created in the [Mystery Lock Access Permit List] file."

"Visitors, please go through the specific identity verification process. After completing the verification, you will be granted access to the outer city of Silver Moon City for three years."

“Would you like to proceed with the verification process?”

"..."

Speechless again, after sensing the direction of the mark, Zeferos nodded helplessly.

Damn it, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to do any verification.

"...Of course, how can I verify it?"

"Sir, please come this way."

The sound was heard again, and the sphere, which had turned into a light silver color, circled in the air and then flew out of the [Bronze Gate].

Seeing this, the God of West Wind hesitated for a while, but he still chose to follow.

Apart from this portal, other places outside Silvermoon City are covered by mystery locks.

However, since they are leading the way now, there shouldn't be any problem...

After trying to convince himself and thinking about how he had been worried about this for a long time, Zeferos finally did not give up.

After all, since I'm here, it would be a shame to leave like this.

So the God of West Wind flapped his wings and flew high, following the metal sphere in front.

After a while, he was away from the most crowded area.

……

A few moments.

After flying in the sky for a while, Zeferos finally saw the silver ball in front of him slowly falling to the ground.

This place has long been far away from the main gate of the city, and is shrouded in a vague and illusory air.

Whether to the outside or to the inside, the God of West Wind cannot see clearly at this moment.

However, compared to his initial worries, he has now put his worries to rest again.

Having just discovered that he was far away from the crowd, Zeferos thought that he had been discovered a long time ago and that the other party was just trying to "close the door and beat the dog".

But after being alert for a while, he relaxed as the distance got farther and farther.

There won't be any problem, after all, he is far enough away. If his identity is really discovered, there is no need to bring himself here.

All we can say is that this is the peculiar custom of this group of mortals, and ordinary people really cannot understand it.

However, for the sake of the mission of the King of Gods, the God of West Wind had no choice but to accept Hercules' position.

“Is this where the registration is?”

After looking around, Zeferos found nothing at first.

Soon, however, he noticed a dozen other birds.

He was shocked at first, because the God of West Wind also did not sense any signs of life on them, but he quickly reacted.

This is already the inside of the mystery lock, not where the portal is, so it is normal for him to have inaccurate sensing.

And the bird that appeared with him at this time could only be the one that came to "register" with him.

"Ding--"

"Bird visitor No. 9527 has been delivered. The number of birds in this batch should be 18, and the actual number is 18. The registration process has begun..."

"…Application completed, topic delivered."

Following a sound, the light silver metal sphere vibrated again.

However, after listening to the other party's words, Zeferos roughly understood the meaning.

It turns out that this peculiar registration method is also in batches, which is really interesting.

I just don't know what the content is, after all, they are just facing a group of flying birds...

"Ok?"

Shivering violently, the God of West Wind looked around, but found nothing.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling.

However, when he looked around, he found nothing.

There was only a group of birds of various colors looking at each other, and the iron lump that brought him here.

"Huh - this must be an illusion. I must be too tired... Damn it."

"I'm just here to look for someone, but why should I register with a bunch of birds? I'm a god!"

"Damn it! When I find Hercules, I will tell him that no matter what, he must not run away again!"

He spoke each word with such emphasis that one could see the anger in his heart.

However, after his anger, Zephyrus could only endure it helplessly.

There is no way, the current situation is stronger than people.

He can't escape from doing what he has to do.

In order to prevent the God King's accusation, in order to prevent major problems, and also because he had paid too much... After all, compared to the [Bronze Gate], this place is actually more dangerous for the God of West Wind.

In short, no matter what, Zeferos has no choice but to go through this so-called "process".
