Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

"Is this the 'sun' you mentioned?"

On the top of Olympus, in the ruins behind the palace of the God King, Apollo looked at the treasures floating in the air.

There is no doubt that the treasures that can survive even a casual attack from Typhon are not ordinary things. But although the three light balls in front of him do exude the breath of the sun, Apollo hesitated to approach.

"Are you sure they can be used? In my opinion, it is as uncontrollable as Typhon's power."

This is not the first time Apollo has come into contact with similar power, but he did not equate what he saw with the divine fragments scattered all over the earth.

He was not born when the ancient sun god was dismembered. Apollo used to regard those divine fragments as something similar to divine blood. But the existence in front of him undoubtedly exudes the breath of the true god.

This is a kind of qualitative change, but Apollo also felt a fluctuation similar to the curse on them.

"Nothing can't be used, Apollo. Even Typhon's power can be controlled, and I don't intend to let you contain it."

Smiling, Atropos poked the ground with his wooden stick. Strictly speaking, the torn authority in front of him is also the source of disturbing fate, and letting Apollo use them will undoubtedly ease this chaos.

"The three suns symbolize the [morning sun], [noon sun], and [evening sun] respectively. I don't know how they were born, but there is no doubt that they originated from the Titan gods who are older than Helios, and are closer to the essence of the supreme celestial body."

"Use the [Sun God Chariot] to pull them, and use this artifact as a medium to drive them, and you can become the new Sun God - at least, the one that mortals believe in."

"...Faith..."

Looking at the three golden light balls in front of him that seemed to be burning and flowing, Apollo hesitated.

Before today, Apollo didn't really care about faith, but as his origin was injured for some unknown reason, this external force that he didn't care about suddenly became important.

"Even if there is a divine weapon to control it, I won't feel relaxed."

After a moment of hesitation, Apollo finally made a decision. But he still wanted to see what this craftsman who claimed to tailor fate had to say.

"Then you have to figure it out yourself, or rather - the God King should figure it out for you."

With an unchanged expression, Atropos saw Apollo's hesitation, so she just smiled.

The guidance from fate told her that if these three fragments of power from the ancient sun god were turned into the real sun, the person who used it would likely be entangled with the fate of the Titan god.

Even with the promotion of time and faith, some changes that Atropos didn't know about might happen. But the goddess of fate didn't remind Apollo, because the world really needed the sun, and she had no better choice.

‘Fortunately, this is a long time in the future…’

Sighing secretly, Atropos knew that her behavior could indeed make up for the distortion of fate, but it was actually drinking poison to quench thirst.

But she could only do this - after all, there are generally three solutions to borrowing debts.

Continuously use new debts to repay old debts. As long as you can still borrow, there will be no problem; or let others pay off the debt for her, which is also a way. The last way is naturally to solve the debt if you can't solve it, then solve the debtor you owe.

For Atropos, the last one is obviously impossible, so she can only choose the first two.

Swish——

Accompanied by a little light rising from Mount Olympus, the earth that had become dim due to the isolation of sunlight finally ushered in light again.

The morning sun rose slowly from the eastern pillar of heaven, as if dispelling the disaster brought by the Typhon disaster.

The light rose higher and higher, and finally stopped near the original zodiac star field. It didn't dare to go up anymore, but chose to run horizontally. Just like every sunrise and sunset, the sun once again moved on earth.

From day to night, from night to day. When a cycle was completed, the law seemed to acknowledge the existence of this new "sun". After all, in essence, it is indeed the same as the one before.

When Zeus stepped on Mount Olympus again, he felt as if he was in another world.

In other corners of the sacred mountain, the gods who had left before also returned one after another.

"Zephyros, how is the statistics."

Standing in front of the collapsed hall, Zeus asked lightly.

"The results are not very good. Except for a few who were sealed, suppressed, and captured, most of them either escaped or are still wreaking havoc on the earth - those who are rational are still okay, and the rest seem to have some almost immortal abilities."

The god of the west wind said respectfully, standing back.

As the sun rose, the law disorder caused by the advent of Typhon and the collision between fate and order came to an end.

The power that originally restricted the gods rose again on the earth, and the divine power could no longer be used - and this time, it seemed even stronger.

Perhaps the repeated disasters finally triggered the stricter self-defense mechanism of the laws of the world. At this moment, all the conscious divine powers were suppressed by laws that were much more powerful.

In this situation, the shortcomings of the Olympian gods were clearly revealed.

Facing the evil things that are raging on the earth, without the assistance of authority and divine power, the gods are almost vulnerable, and only a few gods can deal with them. This caused the gods who were ordered to suppress those monsters to return to the sacred mountain and ask for help from His Majesty the God King.

But what they don't know is that Zeus actually has nothing to do about it now. Because compared to restricting the gods, the law is more disgusted with the unscrupulous behavior of those great divine powers.

So as the chosen god-king in this world, Zeus felt for the first time in history the tendency of the will of law - he wanted the god-king to prevent any primitive gods and alien gods from wreaking havoc on the earth, but at the same time, the god-king himself also wanted to Follow this rule.

As the king of the gods, Zeus should be the defender and example of order in this world. Therefore, the God King did not express any response to the gods' request for help.

…

On top of Mount Olympus, in a temporary palace.

At this moment, the nymphs who had fled returned to the sacred mountain. They cleaned up the corpses and broken rubble of their kind, and then danced with the goddesses of grace in the hall.

The disaster was over, at least for the gods, and they couldn't wait to celebrate. Everything is so beautiful, the gods are great, victory is inevitable, the god-king is invincible, and no existence can overthrow the rule of Olympus.

But before they start celebrating completely, they still need to make a summary of this disaster that has affected the world.

Everything needs a conclusion...such as why the invincible God King was beaten to death by Typhon, and how he came back. Even if the achievements of the God-King are praised among mortals in the future, there should always be an explanation.

"...In short, they should leave matters in the world to be resolved by themselves. Even if they lose the power of evil beings comparable to the gods, they may not be so invincible."

"Without Typhon, they have nothing to fear."

Looking around at the gods, Zeus casually dismissed the gods' request for help.

He changed the topic and talked about the whole story of Typhon's disaster.

Zeus was defeated by Typhon, this is a fact that cannot be concealed. I don’t know how many beings have seen this scene, not to mention the gods, even the nymphs born in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of various places have seen it.

But he would not admit that he was defeated head-on, despite the fact that the King of Demons defeated him with his upright strength in a one-on-one duel.

"...So, as I said before, all this stems from the conspiracy of the outer gods and the earth mother."

"The outer gods have given Typhon a special power, which is what you see, the power that corrodes all things and assimilates living things. No one understands it, and no one can prepare against it in advance. This is something that the gods have never seen. But On the contrary, Gaia revealed the secrets of the gods to this demon who wanted to destroy the world, and even more than that. "

"She accurately calculated the time for me to leave the sacred mountain, so she made arrangements in advance; she knew that I did not have suitable weapons in my hands, which could greatly weaken my strength; she finally used the authority of the earth to cover up Typhon's breath and cooperate with it Launched a sneak attack on me. Faced with the gap in information and numbers, the despicable monster succeeded, and it won a victory without any glory. "

The voice was calm, but it seemed to contain helplessness and confusion. The God King does not seem to understand why Gaia, one of the original gods, would collude with the outer gods.

Is it because of greed for the other party's power or desire for revenge? But Gaia is a god in this world. Even if she is deprived of the law, she should not hold resentment towards this world.

Although she had a grudge against the God King, and although she was suppressed by Zeus in front of the gods, this was not the reason for her to betray the world and stab the Divine Court in the back. If you feel that the world is not treating you well and that the God King’s ruling is wrong, then you should come to the Divine Court to communicate with the gods. You should try to change it and deal with it in a better way instead of colluding with outsiders to destroy it!

"... Of course, the failure was only temporary. Later, my loyal minister, the God of the West Wind, found me - it's not that you are disloyal, it's just that he happened to be the closest and the fastest. And the world also favored me, Typhon thought it was punishment by extracting my bones and blood, but in fact, destiny was born because of it."

"So under my command, the Agent of Destiny arranged a highly poisonous divine fruit to easily deceive stupid demons into eating it; Zeferos retrieved the artifact Thunder for me. This indestructible weapon made me unable to As for confronting the enemy unarmed."

"Without prior preparation, without despicable sneak attacks, when we stand on the same level, that ridiculous monster cannot be my opponent. Even if it struggles hard, it will not escape death in the end. This is the whole incident. The ending.”

The calm voice echoed in the hall, and the God King had a serious face. Some gods asked some questions in the process, and the god king also answered them gently.

Although the gods did not fully believe Zeus's narrative, most of them had no intention of questioning it. After all, the power of the God King when he defeated Typhon was obvious to all. As for the previous failure, it was naturally entirely Gaia's fault.

Gaia provoked the Divine Court, slandered the God King, and blamed Zeus for what another primitive god had done. However, the great God King did not care because he had always repaid the tormented Earth Mother Goddess. pity. He hopes that the other party can come to the table and resolve the conflicts between the two parties through communication.

However, Gaia eventually betrayed the trust of the God King. She chose to collude with the Outer Gods and cholera the world. She even arranged a conspiracy and attacked the God King. She even succeeded for a time. This was not because she was so powerful, but because of the kindness and mercy of the God King. She failed in the end, which was also nothing strange. After all, the King of Gods had defeated her once, which was an unquestionable fact.

So the discussion sounded among the gods.

Among the gods present, only Zephyrus knew some of the truth, but he obviously would not say it; among the gods not present, perhaps a few reclusive Titan gods knew a little about the cause and effect, but they had long since stopped participating in the world's struggle.

Gaia herself was naturally clear, but no one would believe the words of a loser, especially the Earth Mother who had done all kinds of stupid things. Moreover, the gods who were frightened by Typhon like a stray dog ​​would not have a good impression of her, even the gods who originally sympathized with her had long changed their minds.

In any case, you destroyed the peace shared by the gods, and this is an indelible sin. So the truth of everything came to an end in the description of the God King, and history has been finalized since then.

The insidious, despicable and shameless Typhon, the ungrateful and ignorant Gaia; the unfathomable, hidden outer gods, and the King of the Gods who had long foreseen the "outsiders" but failed to make a reasonable response due to kindness and goodness, of course, there are also the loyal subordinates of the God King, and the gods who "temporarily retreated and plotted to resist." Everything is very clear, this is the truth of the facts.

No one objected to this, after all, everyone is a member of the God Court. And history has always been written by the victors.
