Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Invisible fluctuations passed through the Goddess of Beauty without bringing an end to the transaction.

In front of the Gate of Sacrifice, the True God of the Present World was but one of its targets, and there were many others besides.

The supreme will descended upon [862-11-Thunder Pool] almost at the same moment, and two grand forces followed one after another.

At the center of the interface, the Demon Prince, who had sent away the Divine King's incarnation not long ago, was overjoyed.

Faced with the descending Abyss Will from the heavens, it only felt that the growth limit which had temporarily ceased due to Zeus's interruption was now starting to escalate again.

The rank truly belonging to the [Demon Prince] also began to condense... While at the edge of the interface, another force that had arrived seemed somewhat reluctant to descend.

It seemed to have realized that something was amiss with its target, yet in a rush, it was unable to discern the specifics.

Despite the Abyss Will being more active than the laws of the world, its power was far from comparable.

Not being able to pinpoint the problem at once, the will that had come following instinct ultimately still provided a reward according to the achiever's own wishes.

So, countless origins of Demon Gods poured down like a tidal surge, infusing into that demon body with a human torso, a snake tail, and eight arms.

On the great earth at the edge of the interface, a trace of surprise flickered in the eyes of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon.

Raising its head to the sky, the Great Serpent's complexion showed admiration in addition to surprise.

It was not unexpected for its trail to be discovered by Tartarus's will, but what it never anticipated was that it would receive blessings from the other party.

Is it because of Zeus's incarnation?

It must be.

But the other party shouldn't have chosen to complete the bloodline of the Demon Gods, so where did this reward come from?

"Hiss..."

A soft hiss, without pondering for too long.

Though it was somewhat unbelievable, when all impossibilities are excluded, what remains, however improbable, must be the only truth.

"But it shouldn't be... Zeus, you were that formidable?"

"It seems I have underestimated the people of the world."

With a solemn expression, a sense of respect welled up from the bottom of its heart.

Logically speaking, although it was indeed its own doing that revealed Zeus's trace to the Demon Prince and it was also its own idea given to the other party, to speak the truth, aside from the thought of gaining some benefits, it was mainly to watch the amusement of 'Zeus hastily fleeing for his life, not hesitating to destroy his own incarnation'.

As for other possibilities, the Great Serpent had considered, but it had never felt they would truly come to pass.

After all, even if someone as unselective in tastes as Poseidon, the objects of his doings were just creatures whose beauty humans could not comprehend, such as birds, beasts, and even fish; in the eyes of their own kind, they also possess extraordinary appearances.

Within the Abyss, amid an unknown interface.

A sea of flowers rose, and vines and plants intertwined to take shape.

Since it received an affirmative answer from the original body, the Divine King's incarnation let go of the last bit of doubt.

Looking at the figure before him, he had no intention of wasting this rare opportunity.

In an instant, a palace made from flowers, grasses, and trees rose from the ground, enveloping the figures of Zeus and Moya.

At that moment, the fate of the obscure world seemed to quiver ever so slightly, celebrating the correction of a path once astray.

The laws of both the present world and the Abyss also began to draw closer in an unknowable place, awaiting the Divine King's further actions.

As if blessed by fortune, both the incarnation of Zeus and his original self had a moment of enlightenment at this time.

He was meant to nurture nine Goddesses with the being before him, but fate took a turn before he ascended the throne.

Thus, the ordained Deities shifted, not only in quantity but also in identity.

For the present world, it's hard to say whether this is good or bad. After all, no matter what, the Divine King has allowed the Deities who could not be born to find their opportunities for incarnation once more.

And for Zeus, this is an unequivocal opportunity.

After all, this time it's different from the request of the Demon Prince.

This time, he need not worry about provoking the wrath of the present world, and his own bloodline will still remain.

Sha—

With a wave of his large hand, the palace doors made of vegetation immediately closed.

Not long after, as the Earth gently trembled, an invisible fluctuation gradually spread out from this place as the epicenter.

It started from this domain, then reached the nearby Abyss, eventually covering the entire Tartarus, and even extending to places within the present world.

In the depths of the starry sky, Aphrodite who was waiting quietly in front of the Gate of Sacrifice felt her spirit jolt.

As the wave approached where she was, the Goddess of Beauty felt an immensely grandiose will descending upon her. The favor of the Abyss Will came upon her, accompanied by the race's strength that had grown exponentially out of nowhere.

The Demon Clan, newly created by her and initially no more than a few big and small cats, seemed to have expanded countless times in an instant, becoming a grand demon tribe that spread throughout Tartarus, even gaining more of the Abyss Will's favor.

At this moment, Aphrodite had no doubt that even without the promised reward from the Mother of Demons, just with this boon from the Abyss Will, she could easily become a powerful Demon God of great importance in the Abyss.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, the Goddess of Beauty would not leave the human world.

So even though stunned by this unexpected change, Aphrodite was only momentarily shocked before she acted as if nothing had happened.

The invisible fluctuation passed over the Goddess of Beauty without interrupting the transaction.

In front of the Gate of Sacrifice, the True God of the Present World was just one of many targets.

The supreme will nearly simultaneously arrived at [862-11-Thunder Pool], and two grand forces descended one after the other.

In the center of the domain, the Demon Prince, who had just farewelled the Divine King's avatar, was overjoyed.

Facing the descending Abyss Will from the heavens, he only felt the limit of his growth, which had been temporarily halted by Zeus, resume its ascent.

The rightful status for the [Demon Prince] began to take shape... While at the edge of the domain, another force that seemed to arrive somewhat reluctantly joined.

It seemed to have sensed something amiss with the target but could not yet discern it accurately in haste.

Although the Abyss Will was far more active than the Laws of the World, its strength was also much inferior.

Unable to identify the issue promptly, the will that came following its instincts ultimately bestowed a reward according to the wishes of the one who had earned merit.

Countless Demon God Origins surged down like a tidal wave, pouring into the body of the demon with a human torso, serpent tail, and eight arms.

At the edge of the domain, on the Earth's surface, a hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon.

Looking up to the skies, the Great Serpent's expression showed astonishment and a touch of admiration.

It wasn't surprised that its tracks had been discovered by the will of Tartarus, but it never expected to receive a reward from it.

Was it because of Zeus's avatar?

It probably was.

But the other side shouldn't have chosen to complete the Demon God's bloodline, so where did this reward come from?

"Hiss..."

Softly hissing, it didn't ponder for too long.

Although hard to believe, when all impossibilities are ruled out, the remaining option, however improbable, must be the only truth.

"But that shouldn't be... Zeus, could he really be that formidable."

"To think of it, I may have underestimated the world."

His demeanor earnest, a sense of respect spontaneously arose from the depths of his heart.

To be fair, although it was indeed him who disclosed Zeus's tracks to the Demon Prince and came up with such an idea, in truth, aside from a slight anticipation of benefits, he was mainly just hoping to enjoy the spectacle of 'Zeus rushing to flee, even at the cost of destroying his own avatar.'

As for other possibilities, the Great Serpent had thought about them, but never believed they would truly happen.

After all, even Poseidon, indifferent to dietary distinctions, only preyed on organisms that humans could not appreciate for their beauty, such as birds, beasts, and even fishes, which in their own kind's eyes also boasted extraordinary appearances.
