[Greek mythology] Siren

Xavius ​​opened the shell and stared at the scenery outside for a long time.

There is no sunshine here all the year round, but many plants and animals around can emit light, and his own ability is not bad, so he can have a panoramic view of everything around him.

There were strange noises around him, he looked around suspiciously, and then stood up from the shell.

There seemed to be something not far away, and the other party seemed to be very cautious and didn't move at all.He weakened his sense of existence as much as possible, if it wasn't for his distinctive aura, Xavis would not have discovered him.

It is different from all living and dead things in this world... the breath of gods.

He peeled away the bushes, and saw a baby lying on the ground, naked/naked, with his hands slightly curled up. Sensing someone approaching, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although it looks like a newborn baby, it is already conscious.

"It seems that our experiences are similar." He knelt down and said in a low voice. He hadn't spoken for a long time, because he couldn't find anyone to talk to here, and there was no time flow. He didn't even know how many years he hadn't spoken. He spoke, so his voice was a little hoarse at the moment. He reached out and tried to get close to the child, who stared at him closely, with a little vigilance in his eyes and a little doubt.

The divine power around the child was defending itself, but although the divine power was enormous, it could not be used properly.

Although he is conscious, he should still be unstable. The child's whole body is filled with enormous divine power, which is enough to support him to assume the appearance of an adult as soon as he lands, but at this moment, he appears in front of him in the form of a baby, and now There doesn't appear to be any signs of growth.

"No wonder he will eat you, such a huge power...he should be very scared." He reached out and hugged the child, "It just so happens that I am bored here by myself, and I will accompany you before your consciousness grows. me."

The child was still staring at him closely, and after a while, he put his hand around his arm.

"My name is Savis, and you, do you need me to name you? Or did you already have a name before you were eaten by him?" The child tightly wrapped his arms around him, silent.

Now that consciousness has been formed, it should have language ability.

Xavius ​​looked suspiciously at the child who buried his head in his chest, feeling a little doubtful in his heart, this child possessed such enormous divine power, he must have had his own unique name at birth, and his sanity and consciousness would be perfected in the shortest possible time Woke up, but the child in front of him seemed to be conscious, but he was really like a child, and his body showed no signs of growth.

Cursed before being swallowed?Or was it swallowed before it hit the ground?

Xavius ​​carried the child to the shell and played with his short hands and feet. The child stared at him for a while, as if confirming that he was harmless, then closed his eyes and fell asleep, ignoring that the other party was still there. The thing of constantly fiddling with one's own hands and feet.

Savis checked the child, and the child was indeed born not long ago. If he guessed right, it should have been swallowed at birth, and he could have a buffer period of one or two days, but it didn't happen after all. People who grow up are different.

"It's the fourth one." A long time ago, he felt the breath of gods coming from this world, but the world in Cronus' stomach was too wonderful, and the three were swallowed by Cronus one after another The child's breath only appeared once or twice before disappearing.

Maybe he died here already.Xavius ​​often thinks, after all, after entering Cronus' stomach, there are only a few who can live like him.

This is the fourth god who was swallowed by Cronus. Although he possesses enormous power, he can only appear here in the form of a baby.Perhaps the same is true for the first three, who possessed enormous divine power but were unable to grow, and their consciousness was muddled, so they died under the malicious attack of this space.

"I don't know when you will die." Savis murmured to himself, "Before that, at least let me have a companion."

He has been here for too long, and he can't feel the passage of time here. What he sees is always a dim environment. The surrounding plants sometimes emit a little light, but it can only make the surrounding environment look more gloomy. , there is no other god here except him, and I don't think there is anything wrong when I am alone, but when I saw this child, I suddenly wanted to have a companion.

Maybe it's because of the comparison. I didn't feel anything when I was alone, but when another person appeared by my side, I felt that the days I lived before were very lonely.

"I'll call you Hades." He turned pearls into a garment and put it on the child carefully, "If you don't like the name or you already have a name, wait until you can express yourself Then you can change it yourself."

Savis kept him in this way. Since he came here, he basically has nothing to do every day. Sometimes he can sleep for a long time with his shell closed, and sometimes he will open his shell and look at the "sky" in a daze. What he has been in contact with the most in this world is the surrounding plants and the muddy lake where the shells are. Although he can control this lake, he doesn't know how deep this lake is.

He once tried to dive into the lake, but found that this lake has no bottom, and there are many creatures at the bottom of the lake, which are more than those on the land. There are only plants on the land.

This kind of environment will be very familiar after years of watching. Although he is not bored at all, he has a lot of novel feelings when he has an additional "person" like himself.

He didn't know whether Hades' growth was slow or fast. After all, he hadn't been in contact with other gods for a long time. The "common sense" told him by the memory he inherited from birth seemed to have no effect on Hades. His "cognition", Hades, who possesses enormous divine power and has a godhead as soon as he lands, should grow at a speed that can be recognized by the naked eye, but after he brought people back, Hades has nothing Variety.

Maybe it's because this world is different from the even world after all. This is the world in Kronos' belly, and the whole world is built according to Kronos' ideas. Maybe it's an unknown force that prevents Hades from growing.

Savus's idea came true soon after.

That was the second time Hades opened his eyes after he carried Hades back.

Since the first time we met, Hades stared at him with doubts and vigilance for a long, long time, and closed his eyes after finally confirming that he was harmless. Since then, he has been in a deep sleep, and occasionally Xavis wakes up by himself. Seeing that Hades woke up, he didn't even change his sleeping position. Savis could sleep for a long time before, and he had no concept of time, so he relied on the denseness and size of the surrounding plants to estimate the approximate drinking time. At first, he thought that his sleeping time became shorter after bringing someone with him. Later, when a small tree by the lake grew into a towering tree, he was sure that Hades was really asleep. Time counted in years.

"Could it be dead?" He poked the tender cheek. For so long, the child's body hasn't changed at all. Is it possible that he will exist in the form of a baby in the future?

Just as he finished speaking, the child suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a little impatience and helplessness in the black eyes, but there was no vigilance like when we first met.

"Are you awake?" Xavius ​​smiled in surprise, "Looking at you, you can already understand me? Can you speak now?"

Hades frowned slightly, his face showing a little solemnity, and after a long time, he shook his head slightly.

In other words, the mind has fully grown, but the body cannot grow, and can't speak?

Wouldn't it really be like what he thought, and they would all be able to exist as babies in the future?

However, compared to his troubles, Hades himself didn't have many worries. It seemed that he was very aware of his physical condition. Savis was about to talk to him a few more words when he saw his drowsy look. It's time to close your eyes again.

At this moment, the originally unchanging sky suddenly turned fiery red, and there was a faint roar in the silent space. Xavius's expression tightened, he hugged Hades tightly in his arms, walked into the shell, and the shell slowly closed. stand up.

The huge shell sank into the lake, and the next moment, the sky was on fire.

Inside the shell, Hades moved in Xavius' arms, probably because Xaviz's strength was too tight.

"Don't move." Xavius ​​said softly to him, "This is his world. We will find it difficult to resist all the attacks this world launches against us. Before you have absolute power, we need to hide first."

Cronus may not know what is going on in his stomach, but this is a world closely related to his thoughts. Cronus swallows them in the hope that they will die completely, whether it is the soul or the godhead. It’s all digested in his own stomach, so the world will attack him regularly. If Cronus hadn’t swallowed most of the ocean’s seawater into his stomach, there would be a lake for him to take refuge in. , I am afraid that he is really going to die here.

Now that Hades is by his side, he is also the person Cronus wants to kill. This time the attack showed great malice towards them. Even though the shells kept sinking, he could still feel the water in the lake. It gradually disappeared in the flowing fire in the sky.

Cronus swallowed limited seawater at the beginning. Although he was able to expand the water source based on the original seawater, his power was limited here and could not be fully exerted. Although they could escape a blow this time, but If he couldn't recycle the lost seawater before the next attack came, he and Hades would be in serious danger.

Hades moved beside him again, and this time, Savis could faintly feel the divine power emanating from the child that made him dread it.

He pressed Hades' head with his hand, and whispered: "Don't mess around," Hades paused slightly, and Savis said to him softly, "I know you are very powerful, but Hades , now you can't resist him, you have to wait patiently, until you are strong enough, until the day when all the restraints on you are released."

The child calmed down, and Savis tightened his grip again: "Before that, there is no shame in relying on me a little bit, at worst, you will protect me in the future."

At that time, Xavius ​​just wanted to make the stubborn child stop hitting the stone with a pebble, but he did not expect that the child in his arms would firmly engrave these words in his heart.
