Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 534 Greed

"The starry sky is vast and boundless, and its expansion never stops."

"Even in recent years, this is especially true. As far as I know, in terms of the size of space alone, it has more than doubled in size compared to the beginning of this era."

"Although the degree of expansion of space is not necessarily equal to the power it truly represents, as the essence of the core of the starry sky, the Zodiac Star Region and the starry sky around it are indeed more prosperous than before."

"Thanks to this, Perseus' importance has also been enhanced."

Finally summing up, Dionysus looked in the direction of Hercules.

Coincidentally, if the great hero had not happened and he had not joined the journey to the West at the suggestion of the King of Gods, Dionysus would most likely have left his deeds on earth and then ascended to heaven.

He will go to the edge of the starry sky as an excluded son of the God King, occupy the land there and rule as the king, communicate with the heroes in the center of the starry sky, and by the way, share a share of the benefits of the expansion of the starry sky.

After all, although Zeus did not know that in the foreign land far away absorbed by Chaos, [space] was one of the most powerful areas of his origin, but he still saw the continuous expansion of the starry sky.

The God King didn't want to miss this good show, so if he couldn't go himself, he could just let his son go.

"I see."

"Thank you for your explanation. I never thought that the bright and brilliant starry sky could be so complicated."

Nodding slightly, the hero was a little surprised at first, but he soon accepted the result.

After all, he had heard of another Perseus during his journey to the East China Sea.

"Perseus, the 'perfect man' praised and admired by the world, turns out not to be as great as the world says."

"In that case...what the Siren told me might be true."

"Sirens?"

This time it was Dionysus' turn to feel confused. In his impression, Perseus seemed to have nothing to do with the famous siren among the humans.

Strictly speaking, when Siren's name was circulated among the people, he had already ascended from the earth to heaven. They were not from the same era at all.

Seeing this, the great hero prepared to explain, but just as he was about to open his mouth, the starlight around the Star Shuttle suddenly dimmed by three points.

Speeding among the celestial bodies, the originally rising speed began to gradually slow down.

There was no movement outside, as if the alchemy tool had failed on its own.

But with the help of the eyes of the Caucasian Condor, Hercules could clearly see that what really hindered the transmission of starlight and the speed of the silver shuttle was an invisible large net that covered the star shuttle.

At the end of the net, hundreds of armored warriors formed an arc, as if this big net was created by them.

And in the center of the warriors, a hero in golden armor was watching from afar, leaning on his sword.

Seeing the Star Shuttle bound in a net, a warrior who was obviously of high rank flew towards the golden-armored hero, behaving very respectfully.

"……grown ups."

He spoke in a low voice, and the heroic spirit who had activated the divine blood in his body during his lifetime and commanded tens of thousands of soldiers bowed his head slightly.

He did not consider himself a humble person and was always proud of his achievements. However, anyone who could come here after death must have been famous during his lifetime.

"As you command, sir, the UFO that flew from the human world has been successfully restrained under the 'Golden Earthshaking Net'."

"The other party will definitely not be able to break free from the power of the sub-artifact. After all, the creation of the great craftsman and the God of Lava is so powerful... But sir, it doesn't look like an evil object, but a tool forged by human alchemists."

【Earth-shaking Golden Net】 is the big net driven by this team of heroes.

Hephaestus produced it in batches and gave it to the heroes of the Olympian pantheon.

As the saying goes, only when the name is right can the words be justified. Although Chaos, who has extraordinary power, does not necessarily say this, it is indeed useful when the gap in strength between the two sides is not obvious.

What's more, the power of the heroic spirits relies on the singing of the people in the world. Even if the King of Gods intends to support them, there must be a reasonable reason, rather than blindly taking sides.

So the heavy responsibility fell on the head of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, and this craftsman, one of the few in Chaos who could make divine artifacts, was forced to take on the burden.

For thousands of years, his lava workshop has been operating almost day and night.

Mass-produced weapons and armor were given to the heroic spirits who ascended from the human world to the starry sky. There were also carefully crafted sub-artifacts that were given to the heroes who were named "constellations" to show their divine power.

These inferior products without authority are certainly far inferior to real divine weapons, but their power should not be underestimated. The so-called "Earth-Shaking Golden Net" is one of them.

It was modeled after the golden net that bound Achilles and, in the original myth, had once immobilized the gods of war and beauty.

Of course, this imitation net is not that powerful, and it was not even originally called the "Earth-Shaking Golden Net."

It was only because of its usefulness and the spread of poetry in the world that the heroic spirits who used it finally gave it this name.

"Isn't it an evil creature? It certainly doesn't look like one."

"But an alchemist from the human world... humph, a bunch of despicable and faithless people."

"They are always able to do some little tricks, but they don't know how great the gods are compared to their little achievements."

"Since they are not evil creatures, let them go away immediately."

"The starry sky is not a place for them to peek into. Or if they want to die with those monsters, I can fulfill their wish."

With a cold snort, in the center of the heroic army, a look of disappointment and disgust flashed across the face of the golden-armored hero.

An alchemist on earth... He remembered that this profession didn't exist in his time.

I thought it was another evil creature heading for the sun from the human world. If I could catch it, it would be a great achievement.

But I didn't expect it to be these faithless spellcasters. It's really disgusting.

Since the end of the Typhon Rebellion, the sun has undergone a horrible mutation. Before the birth of the Zodiac Barrier, the sunlight that corrupted all living things shone on the vast earth.

It can be said that if the evil things in the world are divided into ten, at most thirty percent come from other sources, and the rest are more or less closely related to the sun.

In this case, once they develop to a certain level in the human world and possess power close to that of gods, whether they are driven by instinct to save their mother body or to pursue more powerful power to try to get promoted, they will move towards the zodiac barrier in the starry sky.

The reason why the big net controlled by these heroes is called "Earth-shaking" is actually due to this.

"Closing the net, preparing to go back..."

The golden-armored hero waved his hand listlessly, feeling somewhat helpless.

In fact, it is normal that there is no gain, after all, the place he is responsible for guarding corresponds to the east of the continent.

Compared to several other places, the eastern land is a holy land favored by the gods.

It is almost impossible for evil creatures to develop into powerful enough to approach the level of gods here.

Because once similar signs appear, the heroes of the churches and kingdoms of the gods will kill them immediately.

He turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, the golden-armored hero caught a glimpse of the silver shuttle.

There, the strong starlight continued to gather and almost condensed into a solid.

They surrounded the silver shuttle on both sides, as if protecting it.

Faintly, the golden-armored hero felt that this scene looked familiar, as if he had seen a similar scene before.

Stopping, he couldn't help but recall carefully.

It seemed that about a hundred years ago, he had the good fortune to witness a "solar eclipse" occurring in the starry sky.

The monster from the depths of the spiritual world absorbs the power of the sun, which can greatly slow down the accumulation of its power under the seal.

That day, the sun rioted. The extremely powerful force shook the sea of ​​stars, and the entire zodiac barrier was shaking slightly.

Even though it has been partially eroded by the power of the Outer Gods, Chaos's sun is still not considered an external object. As the power of the world rises, it also rises with it.

If Chaos had only one sun god, perhaps he would have already become another great divine power in the world.

As a result, under the crazy riot of the sun, the entire Zodiac star field almost entered a doomsday-like scene, and it was also on that day that the golden-armored hero saw the many true gods who dominated the Zodiac star field for the first time.

However, the battlefield of the true gods is not here. Only the famous demigod heroes like Perseus can barely set foot there with the power that Valhalla draws from human legends. This is far beyond the reach of the existence of the golden-armored hero.

He could only see the other person's back from afar, and in the extremely vast starry sky of the battlefield, even the back seemed blurry.

In his memory, the true gods who held power in the star field had their own powers, each of which he could not understand.

But they all have one thing in common, and that is the eternal starlight that surrounds them.

As the deity in charge of the star field, the starlight throughout the star realm instinctively obeys the superior, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, surrounding the star god.

This scene was firmly imprinted in the mind of the golden-armored hero at that time, and he still finds it hard to forget it.

"Wait a minute..."

He spoke in a deep voice, and the golden-armored hero, who was about to leave, stopped.

He looked at the silver shuttle in the big net in the distance and fell into silence for a moment.

The vision is clear, revealing the starry sky.

He knew that this was not mixed with any superfluous power; it was merely the instinctive response of the stars.

But it was precisely because of this that the heart of the golden-armored hero suddenly began to beat violently.

Is the person opposite to him a true god who controls the star field? No, because in order to prevent accidents, the Zodiac Great Barrier excludes all god-level forces that do not belong to its system, whether inside or outside.

If they were gods from the outside world, they would have triggered the barrier's spontaneous reaction long ago.

And if they are true gods inside, they can use the power to manipulate the barrier to prevent anyone from detecting their comings and goings.

This is indeed the case. For thousands of years, no one has ever been able to detect the traces of the star gods of the Zodiac Star Domain.

So in this case, this sudden alchemical creation was definitely not a gift from a certain god, but it created the effect of a gift from a god.

It was as if it carried not a living god, but his corpse.

He shook his head, trying to drive the blasphemous thoughts out of his mind.

It is a universally acknowledged fact that gods are immortal.

At this moment, excluding all impossibilities, there is only one result left for the golden-armored hero.

"…Alchemist…"

"I remember you told me that these unbelievers think alchemy is another way to explain the world."

"Including the authority of the gods, the rules of the world, everything in this world can theoretically be explained in their way, right?"

He asked in a low voice, as an old senior who died early, the golden-armored heroic spirit confirmed with his junior.

"Yes, that is true, but my lord, it is just their nonsense."

"After all, if it is true as they say, even the symbol of the gods' dignity and their innate authority can be explained by alchemy, then why aren't they gods?"

"The gods are the masters of the world, and this shows that they are just a bunch of lunatics."

He remained silent. In the past, the Golden Armored Hero would have agreed with his subordinates. But at this moment, he could not help but remain silent.

Using alchemical methods to explain the authority of the gods is a blasphemous statement that should certainly be criticized.

But what if... this is true?

Take a deep breath, the unknown brings fear, terror brings awe.

And no unknown means no fear, and no fear means no awe.

The hero in golden armor didn't know this truth, but he knew himself.

Back when he was on earth, he was definitely the most devout believer of the gods.

But now, he is no longer so sure.

To this day, his devotion to the gods is more than belief.

He would not betray the gods, but that did not stop him from having other ideas, such as how to obtain other things that were equivalent to eternal life.

Not only him, but also Perseus. Even as the son of the God King, he openly expressed his desire to become a god.

After all, those star gods who are regional gods are no match for him at all, and if he wants to further fulfill the will of the King of Gods, without the help of Athena, he can only do it himself.

"I'm really crazy..."

Looking at the silver shuttle in front of him, the golden-armored hero was silent for a moment, but he finally made a decision.

He wanted to keep these alchemists and make these blasphemous sinners stop their exploration of taboos.

Of course, in order to ensure that they would not commit the same offense again, they could only imprison them and then find out what they had done to violate theocracy.
