Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

Human world, East Land.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.

On the ground, a black shadow was moving from west to east.

Above the shadow, a pale blue carriage pulled by three Pegasus horses was traveling in the sky, leaving a long trail in the air.

Incense was rising with curling smoke. Leaning on the warm cushion, Lachesis lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.

This was the most common way for gods to travel, but it was rare for the goddess of fate.

They rarely made a fuss, and they would not come and go in a big way, which was not in line with their character - but today was a little different.

Because Lachesis's purpose today was not to visit any gods, but to visit friends, especially friends she valued very much.

The cloud car jumped in the air, and the land gradually changed from wilderness to farmland and roads.

At the end of the sight, a big city was in sight.

It was the capital of this kingdom and one of the places where the fate of the human world intersected the most.

"Athens..."

Silently reciting the name, Lachesis patted the window of the cloud car.

The next moment, it seemed that something was activated.

The cloud car was hidden, and the sunlight passed through the car body and shone directly on the ground.

Although Lachesis chose to come by car for some reason, it did not mean that she wanted her existence to be exposed to the eyes of mortals.

Especially as the goddess of fate, if people knew that she came to Athens, it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary suspicion.

Swish--

Soon, Athens was in sight, and Pegasus slowed down his pace.

The height of the cloud car slowly dropped, and Lachesis adjusted her clothes.

After a while, with a slight sound, the light cloud car landed on a platform.

Stepping down, this is a platform hanging near the tower.

Looking at the familiar figure not far away, Lachesis couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Hermes, it's been a long time since we last met."

"I apologize for interrupting you."

"Nothing is wrong, ma'am. As long as you want, the door is always open to you."

The great alchemist, who looked like a handsome young man, put his left hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the goddess, and Lachesis smiled again.

Yes, the friend that the goddess of fate wanted to see during this trip to Athens was not a god, but this famous human.

Looking at the performance of the two, it seems that this is not the first time the goddess has come.

Walking into the tower together, Lachesis found a seat and sat down with ease.

Scanning the surrounding layout, other things were no different from the last time she came, but only a golden tray was different from before.

An arrow was suspended in the air, seemingly motionless.

But at a glance, Lachesis always felt that something was unusual.

Although reason told her that it was an arrow suspended in the air.

But intuition seemed to say that the arrow was flying at high speed.

"This is my recent experiment, ma'am, and it seems you are very interested in it."

Holding the teapot in one hand and two teacups in the other.

Hermes placed the cups on the table and filled them with tea himself.

The fragrance of tea floated in the air, refreshing people.

"This is one of the results of my recent exploration of the rules of time and space in the material world. According to the principle, I developed this special witchcraft."

"I call it [Flying Arrow Immovable] - very vivid, right?"

"[Flying Arrow Immovable]?"

Pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea. Lachesis felt that her spirit, which was burdened with the heavy pressure of fate, seemed to be much more relaxed.

Enjoying this moment of relaxation, the goddess asked with interest.

"What does this mean? The arrow is motionless... You mean it is both flying and still?"

"You can understand it this way - this involves the characteristics of time and space in the material world, which is also what I am studying."

"After all, it is well known that time and space are one of the cornerstones of the world's existence, so if you want to explore the mysteries of the world, then understanding time and space is an indispensable condition."

Spreading his hands, Hermes said with a smile.

"And my starting point is the form of its existence."

"Whether time and space are continuous, like energy, or intermittent, like matter, the results are completely different."

"Unfortunately, I still don't have an answer so far, because no matter which one, I can observe the corresponding phenomenon."

"Just like it."

Pick up the arrow and let go.

The next moment, the arrow flew out as if it had returned to its original state.

With a 'bang' sound, it hit the wall, and only the tail was still shaking slightly.

"In it, time and space show the characteristic of 'discontinuity'. Intercept the time and space during its flight, and then infinitely subdivide it, and finally in the smallest unit of time and space, it is still."

"Just like quickly flipping through 10,000 paintings with only slight changes, the figures in them seem to move to outsiders."

"But in fact, these 10,000 paintings themselves have not changed at all."

"This is the 'discontinuity' of time and space - although soon, I found that it is also continuous."

"..."

"Well, you are right."

Nodding slightly in agreement, the goddess actually couldn't understand what Hermes was saying.

Regarding this so-called [Flying Arrow], Laxis' only feeling is that it is an extremely rare witchcraft involving the [Time] field.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't need to understand, she just needs to sigh at this extraordinary wisdom.

No matter whether he is a human or a god, Hermes always looks so dazzling...

"Ahem..."

He coughed lightly, interrupting his thoughts.

Lachesis admitted that she may have been somewhat influenced by the priesthood for thinking this way.

But no matter what, Hermes, who can touch the realm of [time], is enough to go down in history - although even without this discovery, he is still an existence that cannot be surpassed in the history of spellcasters.

He raised his cup to drink tea and looked at the knowledgeable alchemist in front of him.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Different from the past, now that she was personally bearing the backlash of fate, Lachesis felt that she was even more affected by the priesthood.

Time passed by minute by second, sitting on the top of the tower, the two of them chatted casually.

It wasn't until the sun set that Hermes finally straightened his expression.

Looking at Lachesis who was unaware in front of her, the great alchemist felt a little helpless.

Until now, he didn't know why the goddess of fate suddenly came to his door again.

"Miss."

After pondering for a moment, Hermes finally spoke.

Looking at the situation at hand, if he doesn't take the initiative to ask, even if it takes a while, Lachesis may not get to the point.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet - I wonder if you need my help if you come here today?"

"ah?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly dawned.

At this moment, Lachesis remembered what she was here for.

She was slightly embarrassed, but the goddess looked at the sky and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

It's already late, let's talk about it tomorrow.

"Well... Lord Hermes, I do have something I would like your help with."

"But judging from the time now... let's talk about it tomorrow."

"..."

A little speechless, but since Lachesis said so, Hermes could only nod.

It's really strange... I remember when he saw the goddess of destiny for the first time, he thought that his 'time travel' was exposed, which led to the other party's investigation.

Unexpectedly, after seeing him, Lachesis had a look of surprise on her face, which made Hermes feel baffled.

In his impression, in the illusory world of the past, the three goddesses of destiny on Mount Nissa had never given others a good look.

I don’t know why the other party’s attitude was so good when it was my turn to ‘travel’.

But no matter what, Hermes still didn't want to provoke these nagging gods.

If there is anything in this world that even the former little thief god is afraid of, it is definitely fate.

Therefore, Hermes always treated Lachesis with courtesy and even responded to her requests.

"...In that case, why don't I arrange a place for you, madam, to rest here first."

After forcing a smile, Hermes spoke.

He actually really hoped that the other party would reject him, but unfortunately, Laxis nodded happily.

"Thank you very much."

"..."

His expression stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal.

Standing up, Hermes gave up struggling.

Forget it, just stay for one day.

Ever since he received the news that the goddess of destiny was coming to visit, he should have guessed that he was going to have another headache.

I just hope that what the other party wants him to do is not that difficult... But then again, how did he attract the favor of the goddess of fate?

As an alternative 'traveler', according to Hermes's shallow understanding of destiny, he should have been regarded by destiny as an intruder who disrupted order.

"Ma'am, please come this way."

As early as he learned that Lachesis was going to visit today, Hermes had disguised his tower.

Although he didn't know if it was useful or whether his arrangement could isolate the goddess of fate from sensing the fate of living beings and even the Star God, that was all he could do.

But having said that, my own methods may be of some use.

Otherwise, if the other party discovered the fate of those star gods, how could he be so comfortable today?

Therefore, with the attitude that if nothing is said, nothing is discovered, Hermes should lead the way.

Although this goddess of fate is a bit strange, in the final analysis, for him, things in that illusory world can be learned from, but they can never be regarded as truth.

Even the number of original gods can be changed, so what else is fixed?

So although Lachesis was very different from the one he remembered, Hermes didn't find it too strange.

Maybe the other person is like this in this world. In the final analysis, what he was originally in was just an illusory possibility, and this is the real world.
