Chapter 10 Mother Earth Visits
Five hundred years have passed since the last time the Father of Heaven was angry.
As Ryan expected, one hundred years after the Cyclops were imprisoned in the abyss, the God King was furious again with the birth of three hundred-armed giants.
They have fifty heads, one hundred arms, and are born with infinite strength. They are called Briareus, Cotos, and Guges. Although they have no priesthood, the hundred-armed giants still have the essence of immortality, and their innate strength allows them to work together to even defeat the Titans who have reached medium power.
But no matter what abilities they have, and how many good things the Earth Mother has said for them, the great King of the Gods still cannot tolerate their existence.
This time, only fifty years have passed, and Ryan, who has just become a weak god, was awakened again. With the help of the perspective of the [Moon], the traces of the three hundred-armed giants falling into the abyss are clearly visible.
Throwing six offspring into the abyss in a row, this brutal behavior made the twelve Titans tremble. Although they don't like their weird brothers very much, it's inevitable that they still feel a little sad.
The drama on the sacred mountain was wonderful, but it had nothing to do with Ryan. At this time, he had reached the seventh level of divine power and sat quietly on the rock, waiting for guests to visit.
[Prophecy] The priesthood is still useful. Although he has never really predicted successfully with it, he will still be prompted by fate in some things.
For example, today, Ryan's face moved, looking at the green-skirted goddess who appeared in front of him.
The earth mother wore a black veil on her head, her expression was solemn and a little sad.
"I haven't seen you for many years, respected earth mother." Ryan said so, he could probably guess the other party's purpose.
"I wanted to say hello to you, but seeing your complexion, I stopped this offensive idea."
Unlike the young and energetic goddess thousands of years ago, Gaia today looks much older. At a glance, she is already a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties.
The originally smooth skin is a little dull, and there are fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. The clear and gentle eyes reveal pain. Even if the power of the two sides is far apart, Ryan can still feel the emptiness and decay.
The Earth Mother, who once had the most profound origin, has now become the last among the primitive gods, and can no longer maintain the status of that great divine power.
This has never happened before. Although the primitive gods in the past lost their power due to personification, their status remained intact. And the Earth Mother's current performance shows that the origin of the earth has been devastated.
"I wonder what you are doing here, Earth Mother?"
It seems that he has been looking at her for a long time, but in fact it is only a moment. Although he had already guessed Gaia's intention, Ryan still asked this question.
"Dear prophet, as you said before, I can no longer bear it."
Ignoring Ryan's pretense of ignorance, Gaia said straight to the point.
"Two thousand years. It was good at the beginning. Although he was very strict with the children, he didn't do anything excessive after all."
"He asked too much of me, but it's not his fault. As a symbol of the Father and the masculine, this is the influence of theocracy on him. I accept and understand it, and I don't resent it."
"But it was different later." The Earth Mother looked back at the earth, as if looking at the children imprisoned in Tartarus: "When the Cyclops (Cyclops) were born, everything changed."
"He began to become crazy and tyrannical, he became manic and lost his rationality. He even thought that children without even a priesthood could threaten his position. He abused the power of the God King and imprisoned them in the abyss."
"Until now, he has set his sights on my descendants who were born gods."
Gaia's eyes were withdrawn from the earth and looked directly at Ryan.
Although the Earth Mother was never known for her force, such a look still brought a lot of oppression to Ryan. He knew that although he didn't ask for everything, Gaia was somewhat dissatisfied with him as a prophet.
Just out of fear of fate, or perhaps out of the desire for a solution, both Uranus and Gaia have always been gods who follow the rules in front of him.
But Ryan knew that the other party followed the rules with him, just because they wanted to, not because they had to do so.
"So the God King felt threatened?" Facing the gaze of the Earth Mother, Ryan said with a smile.
"Yes, the growing children make him uneasy. Hyperion, Kronos, Oceanus and Tethys, these children have become powerful gods. Although they are not as powerful as their father, this is enough to cause him some trouble."
"Even my other descendants, except for the poor Iapetus and Mnemosyne, who were born with only [speech], [writing] and [language] and were too weak, their brothers and sisters have become gods of medium power."
As the story went on, Gaia's face also looked a little sad. She should have been happy to see the children have such powerful power, but Uranus' increasingly dangerous eyes told her that if she didn't do something, they would probably follow the footsteps of the giants.
"I understand." Ryan nodded: "You hope I can solve this problem and let them let go of their grudges, right?"
"If you can do it, it would be great." Mother Earth said.
"But it's impossible." Shaking his head, Ryan said calmly: "Respected Mother Earth, I am only the God of Prophecy, not the God of Destiny. When the God King ordered me to make a prophecy, his own destiny was wrapped in the prophecy."
"The prophecy that encapsulates the fate of the God King, even His Highness Ananke, who is destined to do so, may not be able to do anything about it."
Mother Earth was speechless. Before today, in the past two thousand years, she had visited her sister more than once, the Night Mother who had always enjoyed silence with Erebus, the Lord of Darkness.
But as Ryan said, the power of prophecy and curse is closely related to its initiator. When the God King personally demands to know his fate, then this fate is no longer something that anyone can stop.
Maybe the world itself can, but the world has no will of its own. That's why the God-King who also visited the overnight lady believed in the prophecy so much because he knew it couldn't be changed.
"What about another way?"
After hesitating for a long time, Mother Earth struggled a bit in her eyes, but she still spoke.
"If I want to solve this problem once and for all, what do you think I should do."
Hearing these words, Ryan's heart skipped a beat.
This was not nervousness or an accident, but as Earth Mother made a choice, the power of [history] began to gather on him.
By fully witnessing an era and possessing authority related to time, one can naturally obtain the priesthood of [History]. This power originally belonged to Rhea in the future, but now, it reaches out to a god who was born earlier.
Ryan readily accepted this.
