Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

In the southeastern part of the sea, there is a flat sandy beach not far from Silvermoon City.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

The faint salty smell of the sea water was blown ashore by the breeze, and a few crabs were burrowing in and out of the sand.

The weather changes a few days ago seemed to have never happened, and the movement of Vanaheim's time and space level did not affect their survival.

For these tiny lives, this small piece of beach is everything they have.

The skirt of the goddess of dawn brushed across the sky and fell back into the palace on the sacred mountain.

Facing the rising sun, a huge black shadow was gradually moving up along the seabed.

Through the clear sea water, the dark shell can be vaguely seen.

However, there were many marks of varying depths on the indestructible hull.

hum-

laugh……

Click——

It surfaced with a buzzing sound, and the huge alchemical hull was exposed on the sea.

There was a sound of air being squeezed from the closed valve at the outlet, followed by a collision between the mechanisms.

It didn't take long for an oval-shaped door to appear on the huge hull.

A pair of strong hands grabbed the edge and then jumped out.

boom--

With his feet on the sand, the young hero greedily took a breath of fresh air.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with the circulation system inside the hull, but the natural wind does make people feel more comfortable.

Hua Hua...

“It seems like a lifetime ago, right?”

"It's always a little uncomfortable to stay in a confined environment for a long time. Moreover, although these exquisite creations are good, no matter how high their skills are, they are still far from comparable to the wonders of creation."

"Even this small amount of gas contains many unknown secrets."

Immediately afterwards, without any dramatic movements like those of a great hero, the tall and thin Prometheus stepped onto the beach through the sea water.

The sunlight shining on their bodies made those who had foresight feel a little warmth.

Bathed in the gentle sea breeze, Prometheus spoke with a smile.

"That's because you are asking too much, old man. It's already a great achievement to be able to do this."

"To be able to make something like this, one must be the smartest person in the world."

The last one to jump out of the cabin was the young man who spoke with a grin.

He walked to the side of the Forerunner and reached out to support the weak spirit.

"Ok?"

"Respect the old and love the young."

“The virtues we inherited in Meng Village.”

Speaking seriously, Amon is like a good boy.

“…That’s a really good tradition.”

After a moment of silence, Prometheus nodded.

Although he didn't know why, ever since he followed Hercules back to the alchemical ship, the Foresight didn't like the young man named Amon at first sight.

Even though he was studious, inquisitive, and smart, just like the fire thief's favorite children, Prometheus still didn't like him very much.

But no matter what, the young man risked his life to cross the sea and rescued himself together with the other two children.

Therefore, given the character of a foresighted person, it is naturally impossible for him to have any rejection towards someone just because of a so-called feeling.

“It took several months, and the journey is now complete.”

"So where to go next, have you decided?"

In the blink of an eye, a bright smile appeared on his serious face again, and Amon looked at the hero.

Hercules thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Although we have the same goal, it shouldn't always be up to me alone to decide how to act."

"Our next destination is the western end of the world, but how to proceed should be decided by us together."

"In that case...how about we go to Silvermoon City first?"

"Crossing the continent is not an easy task, and from this alchemical vessel we can see how important a good tool is."

"Besides, you should have heard of the name of this city."

"Now that we are near it, don't you want to take a look at its true appearance?"

Hercules' expression changed slightly as he listened to Amon's advice, and he felt that it did make sense.

The vehicle is secondary. What’s more important is that the hero really wants to see what a truly powerful wizard looks like.

Besides, there was something else he had never told anyone.

So where did the God of West Wind who had given him the task before go?

"it is good."

Nodding in the affirmative, the great hero then looked towards Prometheus.

The Foresight did not raise any objections. In fact, he was also curious about the human kingdom that could create such advanced creations.

But before that, thinking about what he had sensed not long ago, Prometheus still reminded him.

"I won't interfere with your schedule, but Hercules, you should remember what I said before."

"A few days ago, on this very sea, I sensed the power that Zeus was unleashing on the human world."

"The time was short, but clear. Thousands of years have passed, and he has become even stronger.

"Even now, I can no longer measure the difference in power between him and the Ancient God of Creation. He has already firmly established himself as the God King."

"So young man, I don't know what happened to you, and whether it has anything to do with Zeus, but no matter what, I still hope you can be cautious."

"What makes gods stronger than humans is never their military strength or wisdom, but their eternal life and endless time."

"Compared to success after success, the ability to bear the consequences of failure after failure is their real reliance that allows them to stand above all else."

"……I will."

"I will keep your teachings in mind."

Zheng nodded, the great hero did not do things perfunctorily.

Prometheus was right, and he had no intention of doing anything until he found solid evidence.

······

Over two hills and across a river.

It didn't take long for Hercules to see the legendary city after passing through a barrier that was both visible and invisible.

The huge shadow is blurry and difficult to distinguish, and has been artificially isolated from outside observation.

As you get closer to the suburbs, the number of local residents and outsiders increases.

Above the sky, twelve tall towers slowly rotate clockwise.

Faintly, the great hero even observed a pattern from it.

However, due to his lack of knowledge, even after observing for a long time, Hercules still felt like he was seeing flowers in the fog.

"It's a clock, but it's also a 'calendar'."

"They should circle the city once every day."

"And they also have master-slave relationships with each other, and they change with the phases of the moon and the positions of the stars."

"To change the world with human power, this kind of action against the trend will inevitably come at a huge price."

“But this tower itself draws energy from everything.”

Unlike Hercules, even though he had been away from the human world for thousands of years, Prometheus could still see at a glance the exquisiteness of the operation of the towers in front of him.

The trajectories of the sun and the moon, the changes in the stars and the rotation of time.

In Chaos, since the birth of the twelve Titans, this number itself contains the meaning of "perfection" and "flawlessness".

If the Bronze Age humans could have built such a miracle, even a flood would probably not have been able to wipe them out.

"It sounds really impressive, but it seems we have been discovered."

Without the vision and knowledge of a foresighted person, a great hero would not be able to see so many things.

But along the way, Hercules' potential in certain aspects was discovered more and more.

Although there was no direct evidence, the hero felt like he was being watched just by standing there.

Of course, Hercules did not sense any obvious malice from this gaze.

"This is normal. The invisible barrier we passed through earlier was probably a tool to identify newcomers."

"Whoever notices a strange demigod approaching will probably take notice."

Nodding slightly, Hercules felt the same way.

After waiting for a while, no guards came to expel him from the guard post, and the hero instead felt that the gaze was withdrawn.

So without much hesitation, Hercules followed the crowd towards the tall bronze arch at the end of his sight.

Being cautious is not being timid. Since the owner here did not refuse his visit, he could go in openly.

Walking along the neat avenue, the towering giant gate is right before your eyes.

Dozens of pale golden balls were floating in the air. With his extraordinary hearing, Hercules roughly understood their functions.

It is the alchemical creation responsible for entry registration, and its target population is all non-local residents.

Regardless of whether it was a human being or not, what even surprised Hercules was that he discovered a person who looked like a river god.

Although the true God has always not regarded them as the same kind, it is indeed surprising that they appear here.

After all, Silvermoon City's rejection of the Olympian faith is well known to the world, and no one knows what these river gods are here for.

"...Sir, please wait a moment."

"I am the record officer numbered 1587. I will be the one to register you into the city and enter your information. What is your name?"

While he was thinking, a light golden sphere flew out and a soft female voice came out from it.

Coming back to his senses, the great hero looked at this creature that had no breath of life at all.

"Hercules."

"Okay, then where are you from and what is your purpose for coming to Silvermoon City?"

"I am from Thebes. I came here because I admire Silvermoon City's superb alchemy technology."

He spoke calmly, the great hero did not make up a lie.

“I hope to purchase some suitable tools to help me cross thousands of mountains and rivers.”

"Besides, I want to see the sights of this city."

"Okay, please wait... your information has been incorporated into the identification."

"The pass has been issued, but because I found in this entry that you are a first-time guest in Silvermoon City, I will inform you of some necessary matters in advance."

"As long as you do not violate the relevant regulations, all your actions in the city will not be blocked."

The soft female voice continued to sound, and the next moment, a piece of text was projected onto the pale golden ball of light.

After a quick glance, Hercules found that it basically indicated some prohibitions.

Fighting within the city is not allowed, certain places cannot be entered, and sacrifices to false gods are not allowed, etc.

In addition, there are some transaction rules, payment methods and the like.

If there is no legal currency in Silvermoon City, transactions can also be carried out in the form of barter.

There are quite a few of these contents scattered around, and most of them are nothing to worry about.

However, apart from these common contents, there was one thing that caught the great hero's attention.

"This is... the pet purchase regulations?"

"what is this?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and Hercules asked directly.

"As you can see, Silvermoon City is the birthplace of wizard civilization in the material world."

"Here, many wizards will sign contracts with some harmless demons and turn them into their magical pets, or simply use their own skills to create one."

"In the past, this behavior was limited to wizards themselves."

"But thanks to a certain lord's recent experiment, we are about to open up a group of magical pets that can be contracted with ordinary people."

“Whether you are a local resident or not, as long as you meet the criteria, you are eligible to apply.”

"...I see. A magical pet? That sounds really good."

Hercules nodded and praised, but he didn't really take it to heart.

For ordinary mortals, it is really good to have such an opportunity.

But for him, it didn't have that much effect.

With his current strength, it would be meaningless unless he was fighting powerful demons that were comparable to gods.

Even if such a monster really exists, let alone how to tame it, I think no one would ever sell it.
