Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Inside the small city, it is as secluded as when we came.

With the help of a stream that runs through the city, Nereus left here quietly.

Although mortals have long been much stronger than they used to be, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and the gods in many areas.

As long as he doesn't want to cause extra trouble, for Old Man Hai, he can still come and go freely in this heavily guarded city.

Because of this sudden news, Ryan immediately changed his next plan.

He immediately found Andrea and said that he could handle the problems in the East China Sea.

"Poseidon, the god of the sea, once competed with the goddess of wisdom for the ownership of Athens. Although he generously left the salt water in Athens afterwards, everyone knows that Poseidon is never a tolerant and generous god."

"Although the kingdoms on the sea are far inferior to those on land, they do have geographical advantages after all."

"If we don't want the war to reach the capital at this moment, we can't let the enemy's warships approach the coast and see the walls of Athens."

Ryan stated his point slowly, but he was not making up excuses at random.

In fact, in his opinion, the recent commotion at sea might really be related to the gods, but it probably has little to do with Poseidon.

After all, unlike the gods on the Shenshen Mountain, this Earth-Shaking Sea God has never had a good impression of the God King, and he even often behaves presumptuously in his daily life.

It even got to the point where Zeus was so annoyed by it that he had to spend a lot of effort to find evidence and then personally punish the perpetrator decisively.

This is how the walls of Troy were built. Poseidon built them brick by brick, and the king who refused to pay was guilty of blasphemy.

So from this point of view, Poseidon does not seem willing to cooperate with Olympus' offensive.

"It's probably a bait... just not to lure Athens."

"On the contrary, this is an opportunity to get Poseidon to leave his temple."

"Nereus will never take the initiative to attack the Sea King. After all, he knows what that means."

"As long as Zeus knows his thoughts, the King of Gods will not only not stop him, but may even allow it."

"But when it's all over, Zeus will have to step forward and announce with regret that Poseidon is no longer able to rule the sea.

"As the monarch of the gods, the God King will shoulder this heavy responsibility on his behalf."

Ryan pondered in his mind but did not speak out his guess.

Just like humans, the gap in wisdom between gods has always been great.

Just as there are those who are foolish enough to not see the situation clearly, there are also those who are cautious and take every step carefully.

"I see. Then Mr. Ivan... remember to be careful."

"The goddess's Aegis shield is still protecting Athens. The gods of the sea alone cannot conquer the kingdom's capital."

"If the situation is not good, retreat back to the city first. A temporary victory or defeat will not matter."

With a serious expression, Andrea gently warned.

She would not go back. This city near the front line already had a bit of the atmosphere of war, and the soldiers who followed her here also needed to see their king.

"Okay, I will."

"But those are just some small countries on the ocean, they are far from that stage yet."

"You now have a lot of helpers. I don't think there will be any major problems here in the short term."

With a slight nod and a few final instructions, Ryan turned and left.

There was no problem going to the sea, but before leaving, he still needed to prepare some things.

Objectively speaking, with only the holy power from the giant snake to perform divine arts, the human body actually has no confidence in dealing with Poseidon at sea.

After all, unlike the mechanical god Goddess of Fate, Poseidon does not have any obvious flaws.

So even with Nereus' secret help, Ryan still needed to get some help for himself.

……

Squeak——

We circled around the city and finally arrived at a remote warehouse.

He pushed open the dusty door and shook off the cigarette ashes on the ground.

Ryan didn't know exactly how long this place had been abandoned, but it was probably more than a year or two.

He closed the door behind him and glanced around.

There was nothing extra in this empty warehouse, only a faint smell of moldy smoke.

"That's it."

With a slight nod, Ryan stepped forward.

He applied a pre-mixed light blue color on his hands and drew intricate runes on the ground.

The direction is uncertain and the depth varies.

It is not a two-dimensional symbol, but a three-dimensional text.

If the spellcaster is well versed in spatial studies, he might find the scene before him incomprehensible.

Because these casually drawn runes explained the coordinates in an extremely concise way and connected the time and space of this place.

This is a typical teleportation array, crude and casual, but effective.

Compared to the ordinary gods and priests who can only transmit things that can be converted into energy when communicating, the one in front of Ryan can undoubtedly transmit physical substances.

After a while, as the last familiar yet unfamiliar mirror-like symbol appeared on the ground, Ryan took a half step back and made room for the ground.

Faintly, when the symbol representing the Mirror of Spreer was drawn, the meaning of heat and decadence seemed to have begun to penetrate time and space and reveal itself from it.

With a pointed finger, Ryan finally lit up a light source in the center of the array.

That refers to himself, the spatial force that acts as a medium, and the object of communication.

According to common sense, there should be three light sources in the ceremony, but for Ryan, the three objects refer to one.

Activate the formation and watch the lavender light flow along the direction of the runes.

Ryan cut his finger and touched it to the ground.

"..."

"...the great serpent that encircles the atrium."

"...a giant serpent of the mortal world that devours all souls."

"…the origin and end of all evil in the world."

"I, in my own name, pray to you here."

"Please open the door to your kingdom, connecting the time and space between chaos and the human world."

A certain language was chanted in a sound that no human could utter, and the runes on the ground immediately began to burn.

This crudely drawn array pattern would not last long and would collapse in a moment at most, but for Ryan, this was enough.

The burning flames condensed in the void and eventually turned into a circle of light.

A moment later, a transparent crystal bottle fell out, followed by a tightly sealed box.

Faintly, the laws of the world seemed to react. A power that did not belong to Him appeared here, so He instinctively wanted to expel it.

However, before this reaction could actually begin, the flames were immediately extinguished and the vision disappeared.

Slowly walking forward, Ryan picked up the fallen objects and held both in his hands.

In the crystal bottle, you can see the liquid shimmering with hazy smoke, sometimes gathering and sometimes separating.

A dreamlike feeling came over me, as if it were some kind of divine delicacy.

But Ryan knew that anyone who took it would inevitably die uncontrollably.

This was his gain long ago. Since it fell into his hands thousands of years ago, this crystal bottle has been locked deep in the treasure house and no one has ever known about it since.

It is a relic from the Nine Realms, made from the refined water of Hvergelmir's Spring, the blood of the primordial giant Ymir, and some terrible things.

Its toxicity is unmatched in the nine realms, and almost nothing can stop the poison from growing.

As time passed, it eventually fell into Llane's hands along with Odin's treasure.

And in the world of Chaos, after Ryan's years of refinement, it has become even more terrifying.

The despair of dying, the shattered arrogance, the decay of the spirit, and even the poisonous blood left by Typhon... Apart from the fact that the essence of the gods' immortality could not be cracked, the effect of this bottle of poison was absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

And the most important thing is that, in a sense, it has nothing to do with the spiritual world.

After all, since it came into this world, this crystal bottle has never existed in the outside world for a moment.

No matter how you probe it, this is a deadly poison from hell.

With it, the conventional combat power of Poseidon and the sea people would be nothing to worry about, and all subsequent investigations would be ineffective.

Even Chaos's goddess of fate could not learn the information before the destruction of the foreign land. The only conclusion they could get was that it came from the existence in Tartarus.

"Finally I'll need you."

Nodding slightly, with Nereus' secret help, Ryan didn't think there was any possibility for Poseidon to avoid it.

Then the only thing left to worry about is whether he will resist at all costs at the most dangerous moment.

Fortunately, Ryan was prepared for this, and the wooden box came for this reason.

With what's inside it, no matter what choice Poseidon makes, there will be no second possibility.

"Well...it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Three blades, you don't actually need that many."

"After dealing with Poseidon, maybe we can save a lot of trouble when dealing with the goddess of fate."

"It's a pity that once this exotic thing is used, it will be gone."

"As for the products of the spirit world...it's better not to take them out now."

The three leaves carry some power with the help of alien laws.

And because they were not created by Chaos, their origins cannot be traced.

The disappearance of Poseidon was bound to be no trivial matter. After all, when a true god left the world, the turbulence of the laws was bound to attract the attention of all gods.

So before taking action, Ryan had to ensure that even if Erebus took action himself, he could only find the answer of the abyss.

"Okay... that's enough."

Put everything away and smooth out the few traces left behind.

Ryan then pushed open the door and slowly walked out of the remote warehouse.

Everything is ready, we can set off now.

Let's hurry to Athens first, then wait and see what Nereus plans to do.
