Chapter 88 Hestia and Demeter
Since the starry sky was pacified, Helios drove the sun chariot across the sky, and the world gradually calmed down.
However, in the eyes of a few people with a keen eye, an invisible storm was brewing.
The God King took over the starry sky, and then visited his uncle, the King of Mountains, Urya. Under the circumstances of half negotiation and half coercion, more than a quarter of the earth was under the control of the God King, with Mount Odysseus as the center.
Of course, as a price, Kronos came forward to warn the Lord of the Ocean. Regardless of what has happened, if he starts a dispute with the ancient sea god again, or indulges the Ocean goddesses to squeeze the domain of the mountain god, then the God King will make a "fair" judgment on this.
In response, the Ocean God Oceanus remained silent, but the gods of his pantheon were indeed more restrained than before, which made the mountain god Urya feel that the territory he was forced to pay was still valuable.
However, I don't know when, a rumor began to spread among the Chaos gods.
The God King, influenced by the will of the world, is about to give birth to his offspring. But in the prophecy and the curse of the Father, just like before, Kronos will be overthrown by his offspring.
For a time, the world was strangely quiet. At the center of the earth, on the highest mountain, the attention of all gods gathered.
Everyone wants to know what choice Kronos will make in the face of curses and prophecies.
Is it to resort to violence like the Father, to fight fate with force, or to use a gentler method to try to solve the problem in a roundabout way.
······
Mount Odiles, the bedroom of the God King.
The vision of the birth of the gods has begun to appear, and the source sea has ripples, which is manifested by the chain of laws covering the upper and lower parts of the God Mountain.
However, unlike what the gods imagined, standing at the door of the palace, Kronos felt the increasingly violent fluctuations of the laws around him, and he did not feel nervous or angry.
On the contrary, he was very relaxed, and even had time to pour himself a glass of wine, paying attention to the bright or dark eyes around him.
Of course, he also had to deal with the sister standing beside him.
Hundreds of years later, with the efforts of the Goddess of Law, most of the disasters that the Sun God had created had been quelled. The blessing from the starry sky also acted on the God King. Now, Kronos has truly reached the peak of powerful divine power.
But only at this point did he finally understand how terrible the great divine power is. The level in front of him was like an abyss. Not to mention crossing it, he didn't even know how deep it was.
It was so deep that even if the enhancement brought by nearly one-third of the earth was filled in, it would not make any waves at all.
"As you can see, Themis, I am not worried about the first child that Rhea gave me."
Concentrating on distinguishing the obscure gazes from all sides, Kronos said lightly:
"In fact, I have been able to determine through some methods before that the first child to be born is a goddess, not a possible threat to my existence."
"So you don't have to be so vigilant. I won't do anything about the new god who poses no threat."
He said so, but in Kronos' heart, he just planned to postpone the handling.
After all, when he swung the knife, his brothers and sisters stood with him. He naturally wouldn't make the same mistake a second time.
"If so, I apologize to you for this, but I still have to stay here to see the final result."
Nodding simply, Themis did not shy away from her possible mistakes.
As the goddess of justice, if she misunderstood the other party, she should apologize.
"That's not necessary. If possible, please stay in the starry sky for a while longer for me."
Shaking his head, Kronos said:
"I estimate that it will take at least hundreds of years for everything to return to its original state. Before that, I will trouble you again."
"I will."
After getting the answer, Themis said no more and looked in the direction of the bedroom.
The laws around her fluctuated more and more violently, and those obscure eyes became more and more dense, but it had nothing to do with the goddess of justice. She just wanted to wait for the queen of the gods Rhea to give birth to a child, and then return to the starry sky.
Not only because the chaotic star field made her instinctively uncomfortable, but also because she did not like the power struggles among the gods.
If she was asked to use the [Evil-Slaying Sword], also known as the [Sword of Judgment], to sense it, most of Chaos' gods, one by one, could basically cause more or less reactions to the artifact.
Buzz——
Time passed by minute by minute, and the chain of laws extending from the sacred mountain became clearer and clearer. All this shows that the god who is about to be born has a very powerful priesthood.
But it is not clear where this priesthood will come from. Perhaps a new concept will be born in the world, or perhaps another ancient god will split the priesthood because of this.
Time gradually came to the evening. The moon was in the middle of the sky, and everything was silent.
At a certain moment, a sky-wide red light was born from the extreme sky. It extended all the way to the earth, reflected in the rivers and lakes. At the same time, the law was also announcing the birth of the new god to all living beings.
Hestia, the god of fire and protection!
The appearance of the new god made the law silent for a moment, but it did not stop, but intensified. The red light gradually faded, replaced by the colors of green and yellow.
The new vision covered a wider range than before. The ocean, the underworld, and all plants quickly matured under the invisible power and bore abundant fruits.
"Is it related to plants? That's really troublesome."
His face became serious, and Kronos had already noticed something.
Hestia's appearance was just a prelude. Because of the incompleteness of [Fire], the goddess's priesthood was not as powerful as imagined. Although [Guardian] was also powerful, it was still a little behind the subsequent gods.
But the strength of the priesthood was secondary, but the second god was related to [Plants], which meant that she would divide the divine power of the Earth Mother again.
Because of the giants imprisoned in the abyss, Kronos had a somewhat delicate relationship with the Earth Mother, and he didn't know what choice Gaia would make when the new god was born.
However, the birth of the gods was not affected by his thoughts, and the breath of the growth of all things became stronger. Even in the temple, Kronos also sensed the breath of the accompanying artifact.
After a while, with the roar of the earth, a verdant light passed from the east and crashed directly into the temple, and the true name of the new god also resounded throughout the world.
Demeter, the god of the growth of all things!
With the birth of the new god, the fluctuations in the source sea gradually subsided. At the same time, beings with medium or higher divine power can sense that the priesthood of [plants] has almost completely left the Earth Mother.
In the past, the real symbol of plants itself was not Gaia, but the golden apple tree planted by the [seed of all things] in the [life bottle]. Now even the priesthood of plant growth and withering has been divided by the world, and all she has left is the identity of the creator of plants in the world.
Plants are closely related to the earth. They get nutrients from the earth and eventually return to the earth. Without this power, the power of the Earth Mother will inevitably decline again. Even the most critical thing is that even the speed of her power recovery will be affected.
The gods have different attitudes towards this, but they all know that the relationship between the two masters walking on the earth has deteriorated again.
