Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 545 More Than One

"Well, the accident is over. We didn't help much in the end. The ancient evil still attacked the seal, but fortunately no more serious consequences occurred."

"Although the Death Star is not dead, it is at least damaged. But the impact it caused is far-reaching. You probably have some time to get busy... Hercules, hurry up and finish what you need to do. I'm afraid it won't be long before this place becomes lively again."

Shaking his head and smiling, Ander actually didn't care much about the shocking changes brought about by the ancient evil creature.

Anyway, the barrier hasn't collapsed yet, and this is enough for him.

"By the way, Nikki, what do you think of that guy named Perseus over there? He is quite capable. Look, he has already figured out how to explain things before the matter is over."

"Hmph, I get it, I can hear what he's saying!"

"You have a conflict among yourselves, right? That's how descendants of Zeus are... Then you should solve it yourselves."

With a light hum, the divine weapon began to ring. A sharp aura flashed on the tip, as if it was about to poke a hole in the body of the son of the God King over there, but after hesitating for a moment, Nikki gave up this tempting idea.

Although she had long disliked Perseus, a human hero who was clearly here to deal with the Heroic Spirits, he was constantly neglecting his duties and putting his work aside.

But in the past they were able to do their job well, and considering the various supports that the Olympians provided to Valhalla in the human world, she just let it go.

But what Nikki never expected was that Perseus dared to neglect his duty even in guarding the star field.

If the Heroic Guards stationed at the edge of the star field had issued a warning in advance, she would have had enough time to arrive first and build a stronger barrier with Valhalla as the core to block the invasion of the ancient evil, instead of waiting until it arrived in front of her and then watching the Star of Death arrive in front of the barrier.

If someone else had made this mistake, Nikki would have stabbed him, and even erased the soul mark of the other person in Valhalla. However, the one who caused the consequences was Perseus... So even though she felt very uncomfortable, Nikki still did not punish him directly.

"It's so annoying...but I'm just a weapon."

"Even if we want to kill the son of the God King, it should be Athena who gives the order. But then again, they seemed to be fighting each other before, so if that's the case..."

The artifact rang softly and drew an arc in the air. Nikki felt a little uncomfortable. After circling around Hercules, the goddess of victory made a decision in her heart.

"The conflict between you has nothing to do with me. Anyway, no matter what, the heroic spirit will not die completely."

"However, in view of Perseus's mistake, as the custodian of Valhalla, I will temporarily deprive him of the right to use Perseus."

"Okay, I'm going to go check the barrier. Anyway, you're all sons of Zeus, so you can fight each other however you want, and he won't be able to tell anything wrong."

After the decision was made, the Spear of Walkertor began to ring softly again, but this time the sound was much lighter.

Nikki then turned into a stream of light and pointed directly towards the broken brown star.

"...Reclaim the right to use Perseus? That's a good idea. Without that armor, Perseus is no match for you."

Looking at Nikki's receding figure, the puppet nodded. It seemed that just as he thought, the weapon lady under the goddess of wisdom also had no good feelings towards Olympus.

"Well, have you figured out how to deal with them?"

"of course."

"We have no grudges against each other, but he persecuted the goddess who had done nothing wrong in the human world, and then sent his men to embarrass me. All of these things were created by him."

"In that case, let him become a true Heroic Spirit. Although Heroic Spirits are immortal, he doesn't have to remain a demigod anymore."

Without the divine armor [Perseus], ​​Perseus' power could no longer stop him, so Hercules made his plans known.

As the son of the God-King, he is one of the few people who is granted eternal life as a heroic spirit while he is still alive. This is also the reason why he is not completely controlled by [Valhalla] and still wants to gain more powerful strength.

Even now he hasn't given up this idea. With the help of the divine power that has not yet dissipated from his body, the great hero can hear the movement over there just like Ander and Nikki.

At this moment, Perseus was looking for a culprit for this sudden disaster, and there was no doubt that he, the outsider who "actively attacked" the patrol troops and then "took the opportunity to knock on the door", was the best person to blame.

Hercules didn't care whether he took the blame or not, but he was indeed more disgusted with the other party's attitude.

The heroes in myths and legends are no more than this... The great hero simply decided to destroy the opponent's body, making him a true heroic spirit, and from then on taking it upon himself to exterminate evil creatures, rather than making more mistakes for his own purposes.

"By the way, Lord Ander."

Perseus was not a difficult opponent, but Hercules seemed to have thought of something before taking action.

He hadn't had time to check the light that was flying towards him before. The light seemed to have entered the remains of a demon. He didn't know what it had become...

"Don't be impatient, Hercules. I know what you are going to say, but let's talk about it when we get back."

"I have already vaguely sensed that a powerful divine aura is approaching the Zodiac Star Region. If nothing unexpected happens, it is Aether, the God of Skylight."

"His divine power is stronger than mine. He is an ancient god born at the end of the First Era. He was born on the edge of eternal night and darkness, and even witnessed the existence of the Lord of the Sky when he came to the world. He has already entered the realm of powerful divine power. Even I am no match for him."

"So if you don't want to cause any more trouble, then just deal with things here quickly. After all, he is probably just the first one. If the Zodiac barrier is triggered, who knows how many people will be affected."

"it is good."

Hercules responded briefly, saying that even without the God of Skylight, he still wanted to go back and check the situation.

The trajectory of the Death Star happened to be where he came from. I don’t know what happened to Prometheus and Amon now.

······

hum...

Wow…

……

The core of the zodiac realm, the midpoint of the great barrier.

Rising and falling like the tide, the corona on the blood sun is constantly flowing.

The golden network enveloped the heaven and earth, spreading across the four corners of space. Threads were embedded in every gap of the law, intertwined together, binding the Blood Sun in the middle.

As the de facto ruler of the starry sky and the uncrowned supreme of light and heat in the world, half an era has passed, and with the blessing of the power of outer gods, the aura it exudes has become increasingly terrifying.

But at this moment, the Blood Sun, which had just finished a riot, was exceptionally quiet. The liquid that flowed like water on the surface became thinner and slower, and even the increasingly crystal clear tree on the back of the Sun seemed a little sluggish and listless.

Since the birth of the Zodiac Great Barrier, this huge formation rooted in the Zodiac Star Field has been constantly extracting the part of the Blood Sun that belongs to the [Sun], and then suppressing the other part of it.

This is also the reason why the concept of [constellation] can be transformed so easily, because the sun itself is the supreme light body, and the ancient sun god once caused a large number of star gods to fall into eternal sleep in his rage.

Therefore, every time the Blood Sun rose up to resist, it was actually using its own power to fight against itself. Even if there was no god personally presiding over the barrier, it still could not break free.

Helios, the sun god, also had no way to deal with this. The only response strategy he could think of was to relax restrictions in the name of the Lord of the Sun and increase the degree of infection by the outer gods.

The long years passed quickly, and today, behind the bloody sun, the crystal-clear tree has covered half of the planet, and its crown is covered with transparent leaves.

The roots of the tree penetrated the surface of the sun and went straight into the core of the star. Just like absorbing nutrients from the soil, golden-red liquid continued to flow upward from the roots, supplying the growth of the entire giant tree.

At the core of the sun, Helios has long disappeared, only a few roots remain here, absorbing the essence of this place.

The growth of the giant tree draws on the power of the sun, but the first thing it draws on is the part that was once the sun god.

Helios' consciousness had already moved along with his origin and became the core of the giant tree.

"..."

"Huh... The Great Zodiac Barrier... I will tear it down sooner or later."

A long breath, accompanied by the vibration of the void.

Existence itself is like standing in front of a giant tree that explains "perfection", where Helios' consciousness slowly condenses.

With each breath, the blood sun expanded and shrank.

It was unknown how long it took before the Sun God regained some of his spirit.

Helios opened his eyes and waved his hand. A slender branch immediately dropped from the tree canopy, carrying a red light and shadow and falling beside him.

Catching the light and shadow in his hand, the Sun God carefully examined it for a moment. But the more he observed, the more solemn his expression became.

A true god-level power, perhaps because it has been accumulated for a long time, from the perspective of "quantity", it is indeed considerable.

If it were any other being, even another ancient evil creature wandering the world, this would be a tonic that would be enough to greatly increase the other party's strength.

However, for Helios, who controls the bloody sun, this ray of light seems a bit dispensable.

Judging from the size of the sun itself, if there had not been a division of the divine duties by the will of the present world, it would have probably already condensed its own complete symbol. Its accumulation in the realm of true gods had already reached its peak, and the presence or absence of this light and shadow would not affect its own strength.

From the perspective of power bestowed by outer gods, the branch that once took root and sprouted on the sun came from the body of the mother tree of flesh and blood, and was far from being comparable to the ancient evil creature that was separated by a layer.

Even from the perspective of helping him break free from the seal, Helios still didn't quite understand the significance of the other party's actions.

He even regretted his previous response now, because the Death Star was completely seeking death. The damage it caused to the Zodiac Barrier was equivalent to injuring 800 enemies and 3,000 of its own.

If he was the one who made the decision, Helios would never let the Star of Death attack the main body of the barrier. He would not even let the other party try to destroy the arrangements around Valhalla, which would be of no use at all.

In contrast, he hoped that the other party would wantonly destroy the rules and order of the Zodiac Star Domain, and thereby shake the foundation of the barrier's existence.

"call……"

"So, what's the point of doing this?"

"I let an ancient evil creature that could have been very useful die, but it didn't bring me any substantial benefits."

"Thousands of years have passed in the human world, and I don't know how many years have passed in the starry sky... It didn't come to help me when I needed it the most, but now it is doing this useless work... How come you have corrupted Mother Earth and inherited her way of thinking?"

The voice was not loud, and there was no one else here, but Helios was not talking to himself, because in this red shadow, the sun god felt a similar idea to that in the branch before.

It came from that Outer God, which represented the other party's will. This was also the reason why Helios was not impatient, because although the behavior of the Death Star was ridiculous, he believed that there must be other reasons behind it.

"Mother Earth? Foreign sun, are you referring to Gaia, the mother earth in the mythology of this world?"

"What a coincidence! Although I am walking on her body, I have never seen her. From what you said, is this an ancient god who is good at hiding his plans under absurd surfaces?"

"who!"

boom--!

His expression changed, and when he heard the voice, Helios was shocked.

How is it possible? Being in the core of the sun, with its back against a giant tree that covers the sky and grows from the branches of a mother tree, even a being with great divine power can never hide its tracks from the power of the outer gods.

A huge force gathered around him, and the Sun God was about to take action, but he couldn't find his opponent.

However, at this moment, a vague thought finally came from the red shadow in front of him.

The giant tree behind him swayed slightly, as if telling him that this was the will transmitted from the Mother of Flesh and Blood.

No one in this world can disguise himself in front of a part of the Mother Tree. After all, even authority of equal status requires equal strength to support it.

"This is……"

His eyes changed, and the information was transmitted to his heart. When Helios completely accepted this idea, he was shocked for a moment.

What does the Mother Tree mean by this? There are far more than just one Outer God in Chaos?

And now, the other party came to the door with the thoughts of the mother tree.
