Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

"Hiss——"

"Whoosh——What just happened... wait, stop!"

Above the Mortal Realm, atop the all-golden Sun Chariot.

Eyes once slightly closed, now suddenly snapped open wide, and the Deity controlling the Divine Chariot's once ruddy complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

A stream of fresh blood sprayed into the air, as Apollo suffered an assault by an unseen force. The strength of Light was unconsciously unleashed by him, trying to fend off this sudden injury.

But the first to be affected was not the source of this unseen force; instead, Apollo startled the Pegasus pulling the Divine Chariot.

The Sun God's Chariot then shook uncontrollably, almost plunging down to the Mortal Realm.

With a sharp command to stop, Apollo, recovering from the shock, immediately pulled the reins. Despite the pain radiating from his wounds, he managed to steer the Golden Chariot back on track.

He sighed in relief; fortunately, no major disaster had occurred... But before he could relax, in the next moment, a series of intense vibrations once again traveled along the invisible threads of Faith towards him.

Like surging tides, wave after wave, darkness clouded his vision as Apollo nearly fell from the Divine Chariot.

Luckily, this time the Divine Horse in front did not bolt; it obediently stayed in place.

It was only after a long while that the Sun God finally recovered his senses.

"—Apollo, how are you?"

Swipe——!

Divine Light swept across the ground, landing directly before the Golden Chariot.

Although the newcomer had tried their best to stabilize their aura, Apollo still sensed the relentless turmoil of Divine Power.

With a ghastly complexion, the God of Sun shook his head slightly. With his right hand over his chest, he looked at the hastily arriving Hestia; he didn't know what to say.

"...I'm fine... Just that there seems to be some issues in Asgard."

"Just now, my Divine Kingdom seems to have suffered a severe hit. As for the source of the power..."

"It's Zeus."

Frowning, Hestia, also impacted by the shock of belief as numerous believers perished suddenly, confirmed.

"But it wasn't intentional on his part."

"I feel it clearer than you… His spirit seems laden with immense pain, such that even the power of my 'House Guardian' was triggered by it."

"..."

Silently, whether intentional or not, the fact that he had been greatly hurt was the reality.

However, taking a deep breath, Apollo could only resign himself to his misfortune.

"Sigh... go back and rest, I can handle the Sun God's Chariot for a while."

"Zeus… he indeed is a handful."

Seeing the dissatisfaction in her nephew's heart, Hestia didn't know how to excuse her brother's actions.

She preferred to let him go back and heal, lest he accidentally falls to the Mortal Realm while controlling the Divine Chariot.

"All right, then thank you, Your Highness."

Accepting the offer, Apollo felt that his current condition was not so good.

Stepping down from the Golden Chariot, he handed over the reins of control to the Goddess of Hearthfire right away.

Because the shock from the mass death of believers affected the mind and spirit, and considering his will had already been severely impacted, his injury worsened.

Fortunately, although Hestia may not be as compatible with the power of the Sun as he was, she could still use much strength to compensate. Moreover, since the Divine Chariot was not pulling the actual Great Day, she thought...

Boom——

In the silent void, a thunderous roar heard; just as the Sun God was about to leave, a shock directly targeted his spirit again.

Startled, Apollo and the Goddess of Hearthfire exchanged glances. From her eyes, he could tell that Hestia also heard the same sound as he did.

It is not from Asgard, this time it is a disturbance from the Sea of Origin.

It seems that something affecting the world is happening, yet the beings of the material world remain unaware of it."

"Apollo, it seems, the commotion made by Zeus just now is probably related to this... In places unknown to us, something only the Divine King could handle might be happening in Chaos World, and all Divine Kingdoms are also thus affected."

Hestia, speaking in a low voice, acknowledged that if two unusual events were happening simultaneously, then there's likely some connection between them.

With a worried expression, Hestia pondered; no wonder recently

"Hiss——"

"Whoosh——What just happened... wait, stop!"

Above the Mortal Realm, atop the all-golden Sun Chariot.

Eyes once slightly closed, now suddenly snapped open wide, and the Deity controlling the Divine Chariot's once ruddy complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.
