Chapter 63: 7 Years of War between Gods
Chapter 63 Seven Hundred Years of War between Gods
On Mount Odiles, another eight years have passed.
When everything was ready, and with the order of the God King, the first true divine war broke out in Chaos.
The name of the war is that the weather god and the sun god compete for the ownership of the star god. The god king just stands on the top of the sacred mountain and releases his power from a distance. So except for the Sun God and his family, no gods came to aid Hyperion.
Even the two Poseidons just silently acted as spectators.
It is completely different from the short divine battles that only lasted for seven days. For gods with above-average power, it is easy to tell the difference, but it is difficult to tell the winner. Unless there is a crushing gap, they will not end the battle in a short time.
So when the Mother of Light was held back by the Celestial God and his wife, the battle between the Queen and the God of Weather became protracted. Living in the starry sky, with similar levels of divine power, the power of the Sun God is extraordinary. Even if Cronus gave Rhea the scythe that had hurt Heavenly Father, they would still have to fight for several years before they could briefly force Hyperion back.
After all, this advanced artifact born the day after tomorrow does the most damage to the [sky], followed by the damage to the God King, and has no effect on the [earth].
Facing the Sun God, it can indeed make up for Rhea's lack of fighting skills, but that's all.
The battle between the main gods lasted for a long time, and the gap in the number of true gods became obvious.
Compared with the Sun God family, there are only a few true gods, the three ash tree goddesses beside Rhea, the other three of the four wind gods, the gradually growing sky-shaker Atlas, and even the second son of Cleos who was born soon. and the three sons, they all shined in this divine battle.
In the first one or two hundred years of the battle, due to the power of Hyperion, the overall situation was still in a stalemate. However, as the power of the new generation of gods gradually increased, the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt towards the side of the God King.
Although due to the vastness of the starry sky and the frequency of wars over several years, it would be difficult to completely occupy most of the starry sky within a thousand years, but the outcome of the war is already foreseeable.
One star field after another changed hands, and the star gods who were physically located in these star fields also switched sides. If nothing changes, it seems that Hyperion is doomed.
At the same time, on the sea, the relationship between the two Poseidons also took a turn for the worse.
Two hundred years after the war began in the stars, the brief honeymoon period was over. Although several daughters of Nereus, the Soft Sea, were born one after another, the divine war still broke out in the sea.
Unlike Starry Sky, Oceanus and his wife had the absolute upper hand from the beginning. Even though the gods of the mountains came to help, Pontos still lost three times in three battles.
A large number of ownerless sea areas are under the control of the Ocean God Lord. As long as he can digest them in thousands of years and incorporate them into the priesthood, these sea areas that appear as the world expands will help him continue to move towards the peak of powerful divine power.
It's just that as the God of the Sea and the God of Earth who are best at recovery and long-term battles, a war on the sea is even more time-consuming than the stars, and can often last for decades. In addition, although the Earth Mother did not intervene, she still lent the [Life Vase], so there was still no possibility of the war ending in a short period of time.
For hundreds of years, collisions of divine power occurred one after another on the earth, in the sky, and in the ocean. Many of the creatures on the land of Khaos were accidentally injured and died. A few humans didn't know why. They thought it was the gods who were angry, so they worshiped more devoutly, but at this time few gods cared about them.
When living beings die, their souls follow the pull of the underworld and float into the underworld, or come to the ocean and return to the embrace of the spirit world.
In such an environment, after seven hundred years, the first god transformed by the spiritual world finally appeared.
······
Deep in the Land of Eternal Night, in a small two-story wooden house, Ryan made himself a pot of black tea and quietly watched the final changes in the embryo of the God of Sleep.
Of course, calling it 'embryo' is no longer appropriate. The original white sleeping flower was magnified thousands of times, and the petals that covered the sky also had some mysterious dark golden lines. Vaguely, a faint fragrance comes from the stamens, making people feel like they are falling asleep when they smell it.
Around the big flower, shadows of uncertain reality are looming. They seem to be companions of flowers, and there is a strange connection between the two.
"how long will it take?"
"Just these two days."
After taking a sip of tea, Ryan didn't expect that this transformation would take so long.
Moreover, in his original estimation, the Sleeping God embryo was likely to turn into an evil thing like [Sun Eater] and [Uncertain Mist], but obviously, this was not the case.
After being accepted by the spirit world, although this divine embryo also absorbed a small amount of chaos source power, perhaps because it was originally conceived by the world as an orthodox god, it quickly rejected the power of chaos.
At this moment, most of the embryo is still in order. This means that it will come to the world as a god.
"After being transformed by your spirit world, its breath seems to have become a little strange."
Frowning slightly, Nyx was also a little unsure of the situation.
The feeling of the divine embryo in front of her was different from that of the gods of Chaos. It seemed to have an aura similar to that of Tartarus.
Even though it wasn't obvious, she would never admit it.
"It's really weird."
Ryan nodded, feeling this special breath more clearly.
If I must say it, it sounds a bit like "innately evil".
"I originally thought it would become a new ancient evil thing. I even had a name for it, so I called it [Eternal Night's Dream]. But now it seems that it is more appropriate to call it an evil god."
"It has relatively complete intelligence and is not as chaotic as evil creatures. However, because it has been exposed to some chaotic power, its emotions will be weaker than ordinary creatures."
"Secular morality, rules, and order are just tools for it. Perhaps only power can make it calmer."
After a little concentration, sensing the godhead that had been condensed in the embryo in front of him, Ryan said slowly.
Condensing the divine personality instead of directly integrating with the source power means that it is already a true god.
Although direct contact with source power will bring stronger power, for God, whether he can exercise authority rationally is the only criterion for judging a true God.
"There are indeed many secrets of the gods. Even as the master of the spirit world, I only know about the issues of source power and divine body but I don't know why."
Shaking his head, Ryan knew that this was because his own strength level was not enough.
If you are a great divine power, you will definitely be able to analyze many mysteries of the nature of gods by controlling the spiritual world. But now, he can only verify his conjecture bit by bit in practice.
"I don't know much about the nature of gods even if they rely on their true form, so don't think too much about it."
Nicks didn't expect Ryan's idea.
If nothing else, the reason for the immortality of gods is something that no existence can decipher.
"here we go!"
After another half day, amid endless chatting, the final step of the birth of the evil god finally arrived.
The huge petals begin to close, and mysterious power is being nurtured. But perhaps because of the influence of the spiritual world, the vision of the birth of the god did not appear in the entire Khaos, and only the Land of Eternal Night responded to it.
The magical power of night floated in, and then turned into petals falling from the sky. Under the starlight, there is a different kind of beauty.
Ryan could feel that the originally hazy consciousness in the embryo began to become clear. As a god co-created by the land of eternal night and the spiritual world, it will be like the Twelve Titans in the past. It will be known from birth, rather than growing up slowly from a baby.
Time passed slowly, until at a certain moment, accompanied by an invisible force that made all living beings fall asleep, the petals opened again, and a young god with wings on his back sat in the middle with his hands on his knees.
His eye color and hair color are black, but the wings on his back are light gray. On his body, a piece of cloth transformed from divine power wrapped his body, which was a unique way of dressing up in the world of Khaos.
Hypnos, the god of sleep, is just different from the gentle god in the original myth. As the master of the spirit world, Ryan can clearly feel the true emotions of the god in front of him.
The kind of indifference that hides under the surface, "Everything is empty except me."
