Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 1028 - 432: Meeting
"""
Mortal Realm, the Divine Domain of Asgard.
In the center of the realm lies a mountain, purely condensed from the Power of Faith.
Standing atop this peak, strikingly similar to Olympus, one can overlook the vast lands, where illusory kingdoms divided and enveloped by various Divine Powers faintly emerge.
Only the most devout believers of the Deities can come here after death, then offer all that remains of themselves to the entities they worshiped.
Bathed in this boundless faith, Zeus raises his hand in a gesture of grasping, as if holding the entire world in his palm.
With each breath, the millennia of faith accumulated by the fourth generation of mankind surge like tides. Amid ethereal light and shadow, twelve pillars reaching the heavens become indistinctly visible. Surrounded by them, the figure of Zeus appears divine.
Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia, Moanda.
Hephaestus, Ares, Ares, Apollo, Zephyrus.
Five male Gods, five female Goddesses, it seemed as if each group was missing one.
However, the missing Poseidon from the former had already been arranged by the Divine King to be supplemented, and it would not be vacant for long.
The latter group, though seemingly lacking a practical candidate, had actually been filled by Zeus quite early on.
Therefore, even though no second person knew of this affair, and Zeus planned to choose a legitimate Deity to take on the role of the twelfth Principal God before truly acting on it, it still did not change the fact that the twelve pillars were already perfect.
Thus, a long time ago, the King’s Ceremony crafted by the Divine King himself had already been complete. The King was still searching for candidates for Principal God, even keeping a spot available to add nominees at any time.
"...after all, even the Principal Gods are subject to wavering..."
"Whether it be of their own volition or through coercion, just like Poseidon."
"Therefore, whether to find or to create, twelve powerful Divine Powers closely linked to me, not a single one of them can be absent."
Six male, six female, corresponding to the former Twelve Titans; this is also one of the hidden clauses of the ceremony.
Murmuring to himself, Zeus used to be very troubled by this. But a thousand years have passed, and his endeavors were not limited only to seeking pleasure among humans.
As things stand, even if the seat of the Principal God becomes contested, the Divine King can at any moment replace it with a new candidate, and there’s more than one who could fulfill this role.
With the colossal Power of Faith accumulated in Asgard over a thousand years, even a pig, as long as it is a naturally born Deity, could be transformed by Zeus into an immensely powerful God of a Million Pigs.
Zephyrus is an example, the emergence of faith has completely shattered the inherent order of the strengths and weaknesses of True Gods... and this power of life and death is precisely what he has always pursued.
Of course, it would be even better if this world had no Spirit Realm, no Land of No Light, no Land of Eternal Night, no Gods that dared to defy him.
Thus, Zeus came here today for this very purpose that he has long sought. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The Abyss, the most terrifying yet harmless of the Primordial Gods. Since its birth, it has existed in silence, never causing a sliver of trouble for the successive Divine Kings; instead, it is their shared prison.
Even Tartarus, which was originally most likely Typhon’s Father God, provides no reason for the current Divine King to see it as a threat.
Particularly after recently receiving the message from his avatar, which filled the Divine King with joy.
An unexpected adventure that yielded a Divine Artifact and an Origin. Though part of the Origin was used by the avatar, a significant amount still remains.
More importantly, the avatar completed the main purpose of its mission quite well, finding the existence foretold by Zeus’s divine prophecy—a great entity capable of manipulating the Power of the Abyss, the Mother of Demons revered by billions (?).
The former is icing on the cake, while the latter, if not fuel in the snow, is a great force that could sway the state of the world.
Especially the message that informed Zeus, this Mother of Demons might very well be his natural ally, the sixth wife in some sense.
This made Zeus regret not having acted sooner, yet he couldn’t help but exclaim that it’s still not too late.
He also never expected that to this day, he could still gain support in such a manner.
"...perhaps this, is the Destiny inherent to a Divine King..."
"It is the duty I was born to fulfill; the benefits it brings are merely a token reward bestowed upon its executor by ’Destiny’."
Chuckling, the mood of the Divine King at this moment is quite delightful.
Yet he remains vigilant, constantly tensing his spirit.
According to the description from the previous message, it won’t be long before his avatar personally meets with that Mother of Demons. At that point, she will provide him with a ’live broadcast’ of her mental Domain, which is exactly why Zeus came to Asgard.
After all, an avatar is just an avatar. It underestimated Tartarus’s isolating abilities, causing the previous message to be significantly delayed before reaching Zeus.
Compared to the Mortal Realm, it is here, less likely to conflict with the Laws of the Abyss... And so, he waits in silence, Zeus is expectant, yet his heart remains unhurried.
Time flows slowly by, its length indeterminate.
At a certain moment, within the palace on the central mountain of Asgard, a hint of joy flashes across the eyes of the Divine King.
From the Void beyond the borders of the realm comes a signal similar to the previous one
