Chapter 287 Typhon
Crete, where Zeus was born and raised, the God King once again succeeded in making a mortal possess his blood.
However, this time, perhaps because Zeus, who was much more powerful, had made preparations in advance, or because he left his [Thunder] on the God Mountain to conceal his presence, in short, this time, the Queen of Heaven did not notice anything wrong here.
At the same time, three rafts sailed into the sea from the beach of the Phoenician Kingdom. Without sails, helpers, or even a sea chart, the brave princes set out on a journey to find their sister. They were full of confidence and promised to see each other again in ten years, then waved the heavy wooden oars and sailed separately in the direction where Europa disappeared.
This was just an ordinary day, and even just a hunting for beauty when the God King had a thought. However, even Zeus himself did not realize that as the King of Gods who was increasingly connected to the laws of the world, every move he made would actually bring some impact, big or small.
So when the three princes left the kingdom, when one of them finally crossed the sea and touched the land with his feet, deep in the earth, a change that could have happened long ago finally completed the last step.
For outsiders, the best way to integrate into an existence that rejects them is to put on a layer of skin. And the most useful "skin" for Chaos in this world is undoubtedly his "fate" that has been riddled with holes.

In the empty cavity, light red liquid dripped from the sky and hit the ground.
Fine lines spread between the rocks. They are obviously natural patterns, but they look like meridians and blood vessels. It seems that as long as you look away, it will beat gently when you are not paying attention.
In the huge cavity, no sound other than dripping water can be heard, and no living creatures can be seen. The only exception is the woman standing on a rock in the east.
That is Gaia, and at this moment, she is looking up at the sky.
Although there were only rocks in sight, it still did not affect Gaia's passing through the strata, seeing the clouds, flowers, rain and dew in the sky, the rising sun and Olympus in the east of the earth... She had stayed here for many years, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
For so many years, no one else had ever come here, and she had only met Helios once. In fact, although Gaia gave the sun god the branches formed by part of the power of the mother tree, she was not very clear about his current fate.
Of course, Gaia didn't really care. After all, although the power of the mother tree was strong, there was not much that He could release. Even if Helios accepted this power, he would not have the power to rival Zeus in the world.
In contrast, Gaia and her offspring were very different. One of them had the status of a primitive god and could bypass the seal of the world to take on as much power as possible, while the other was simply bred by the mother tree itself, and it was born with an indelible connection with the outer god.
So in Gaia's eyes, Helios was just the result of her sudden whim. The opponent was at best a spare piece that might play a role, not the key to victory or defeat. This god and demon who was about to come to the world was her reliance.
It would do what she wanted on her behalf and become the sharpest sword in her hand... Yes, with the lesson from the last time, Gaia no longer planned to do it herself.
Although she was a little emotional sometimes, she was not really born stupid. She just didn't have her mentality right.
When Uranus was still there, Gaia was still a god who knew how to be patient and knew how to plan in secret. But after the first generation of gods fell asleep, the successors were always regarded as juniors by her, especially Zeus.
This difference in cognition made Gaia not face her opponents correctly, and repeated failures eventually led to her madness of trying to break the mountain of gods.
But now she has calmed down and recognized the reality again. So when facing Zeus again, Gaia chose another way to deal with it.
"Just like the silver human before."
"At that time, Erebus was responsible for providing power, and he helped me to find trouble with Ryan. In the end, the matter was exposed, and it was him and Ryan who started fighting. It had nothing to do with me from beginning to end."
Gaia, who still didn't know the reason why the golden apple tree changed its owner, made the above judgment and felt that it was time for her to face Zeus, the third generation of the God King.
She didn't need to do it herself, which would only further cause the world to sanction her. Let this monster find trouble with Zeus.
Erebus himself didn't have the ability to create life, so he asked her to replace him; now the flesh and blood mother tree can't release too much power through the seal, so she needs to breed it on her behalf. What a similar scene.
She just needs to imitate what she did before. If it succeeds, it will be great. If it fails, let Zeus compete with that terrible thing. You know, in her heart, although Gaia and the mother tree are now considered partners, she actually didn't trust the perfect life that made her feel a little cold in her heart.
This existence sealed by the world has the power to easily make up for the loss of her as an original deity, and can also give birth to a demon god. Just thinking about it will make you realize how terrifying this thing is.
If she hadn't been the original god who protected Gaia's spirit and her in this world, Gaia wouldn't have accepted the other party's power so easily.
Fortunately, there were no what-ifs in reality, so in her heart, Gaia silently praised her behavior.
Sure enough, her biggest failure so far in her divine life was from Zeus, and this was just because she failed to adjust her mentality. As long as she treats this new god-king the same way she treats other primitive gods, everything will be fine.
"……Um?"
While thinking, Gaia suddenly felt a little quiet around her. The sound of dripping water that had been falling stopped at some point, and the vast and boundless cavity became completely silent.
It was like the calm before the storm, as if something terrible had changed. However, Gaia, who noticed these changes, was not surprised but happy, because she knew exactly what the dripping sound was.
It was not real water, but sap flowing from the branches of flesh and blood. It is the best nourishment in the world, and it has been nurturing the growth of underground existence.
And now that it has stopped, it's obvious why. The 'right time' that the vague consciousness of the mother tree once expressed may be today.

He lowered his head and looked at the formation, and as if in response to Gaia's gaze, fine cracks began to appear among the rocks on the floor of the cavity. The earth shook slightly,
It seemed like something was about to break out of the ground. Looking at this scene, Gaia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahahaha...Okay, good, you are finally coming out!"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Joy crept onto Gaia's face. Her most proud masterpiece, the heir who could completely fill up her shortcomings in combat, was finally coming to the world. Soon, everything she lost would be regained.
As for now, she only needs to witness the birth of the other party.
"My child...my youngest child, I can't wait to meet you!"
"Come on, Typheus, come to this world and go to Mount Olympus to punish those sinners who offended me and punish that arrogant god-king!"
The sound echoed in the underground cavity, but was easily suppressed by the roar. The shaking of the earth became more violent, and a dark light poured out from the cracks.
After a while, under Gaia's expectant gaze, a huge head emerged from under the fragmented rock formation, and then raised high.
It was a head that looked very similar to a dragon—or in other words, if there hadn't been an accident in the Nine Realms, it would have been the ancestor of the dragons in Chaos.
Although the monster called Typhous has more than one head, this one is undoubtedly its most critical one. When its eyes opened, Gaia, who looked at her, seemed to see boundless killing and destruction, but this made her even more satisfied.
This is the sword she needs, a weapon that can kill the God King.
"Are you awake, Typheus? Can you understand me?"
Lifting her body, Gaia positioned herself above the dragon's head. Although everything was as she thought, in order to ensure that Typhios, who had received the power of the mother tree, could indeed communicate, Gaia made a special confirmation.
The result made her very satisfied. Although the huge dragon head in front of her did not respond, and even raised a second head when the earth trembled, Gaia still saw reason in the other person's eyes.
It seems to be influenced by instinct, but it can still be communicated...that's enough. So he let his body fly higher, approaching the top of the cavity, Gaia couldn't help but said loudly:
"Typheus, since you can understand what I say, come out quickly. Go and overthrow Olympus for me and pull the God King off the throne!"
Boom——
The loud noise came again, and as Gaia spoke, the ninth head of Typhous also emerged from the ground. And perhaps because of its own characteristics, every time a head is raised, the rest will expand in a circle.
At this moment, eighteen eyes larger than Gaia's body looked up at this being flying in mid-air. Staring at this being whose aura was somewhat close to his own, Typhoos spoke his first words.
"……who I am?"
Raising her eyebrows, Gaia was a little surprised by the giant beast's reaction, but she explained anyway.
"You are a monster, a demon, Typhous who is destined to destroy Olympus. Destruction is the meaning of your birth. You should also be able to feel the restlessness in your blood."
"...Then, who are you?"
Eighteen dragon heads were suspended in the cavity, and the space that was originally like an underground world seemed a bit crowded.
But Typheus didn't seem to care about this. He just stared at Gaia and asked his second question.
"I am the god who gave birth to you, Typhous, and I am the earth mother of Chaos. All things are born in my body, and I am the cornerstone of the world."
He frowned slightly, but Gaia opened his mouth to explain.
"...Then what is the God King you are talking about...?"
Thirty-six heads filled the entire cavity. The underground world opened up by Gaia could no longer bear the existence of this giant beast. The rock wall trembled slightly, and it was already on the verge of collapse. But looking at this scene, Gaia was actually a little happy.
For these non-god monsters, the small ones may not be weak, but the big ones must be strong. And the one in front of her is destined to be the strongest one in the world.
"The God King is the nominal master of everything in the world, and also your enemy."
Looking at her masterpiece, Gaia spoke slowly, her tone rising slightly.
"And you are going to knock the God King to the ground and take everything that belongs to him into your hands!"
"..."
Rumble——
The loud noise continued, and the earth finally began to crack. More and more dragon heads are rising from the ground. This cavity in the ground should have collapsed, but it was lifted up by the giant beast.
It didn't ask another question, as if it already knew everything it wanted to know. A blood-red mist appeared between Typhous's head, like a barrier surrounding it.
"did you mean--"
"--I see……"
"Understood……"
"It's white..."
"It's..."
"..."
They speak in the same voice, but also mix with each other. They are different from each other up and down, and have the same sound on the left and right.
When the hundredth head emerged from the ground, Typhous seemed to have completely entered this world. But its body is still buried underground, and these protruding heads are like icebergs floating on the sea.
However, compared with Typheus, Gaia encountered a little trouble. She had not thought that the other party would have such a huge body, and she did not take any precautions, so that with the cavity opened by her as the center, a large area of the ground was pushed open.
The surprise at the creation's power made her ignore this before, but the faint pain in her body now reminded her. If Typheus was allowed to come out like this, she would definitely be hurt a lot.
"Stop!" Gaia shouted, "You are too big. Let me separate the strata, and then you can come in and out freely——"
boom
Gaia's voice was interrupted, and Typheus ignored her at all. As if tired of the crowded heads, the hundred-headed dragon snake raised its slender neck, and flames shot out from its two hundred eyes.
Following his movement, the earth fell silent for a moment, and then was torn apart with a bang. What reacted to Gaia's body were bloodstains splitting from the surface of the skin.
"you!"
With her eyes widened, Gaia didn't expect Typheus to be so indifferent to her words.
She had had many rebellious children, but none of them chose to go against her will when they were born... But obviously, the demon of the hundred heads had no intention of paying attention to her mood.
It just pulled hard, pulling its body out of the ground, and then pushed its head upwards with all its strength.
Click——!
The earth stretching for countless miles was pushed open by it, and the evening sky was exposed to the eyes of the demon.
Seeing the outside world for the first time, a strange color flashed in Typhoos's eyes. The newly born Demon God seemed to be intoxicated by this beautiful scene. But the next moment, there was only violence and murderous intent in its eyes.
It was born to destroy, yes, its blood told it so. Typhios saw the god who claimed to have created him also fly out of the ground. It saw the other party's pale and angry face, and Gaia seemed to be saying something to it.
It seemed to be some kind of 'helper', 'sneak attack' or 'Zeus', but it didn't care. Even though he was hurt by its existence, he still had the patience to reason with it. How could such a being point fingers at it?
"But one thing she said is right. If the God King is really the master of everything in this world, then I should replace him."
The low sounds echoed among the mountains, and the silver moon at the end of the western sky seemed to be frightened and speeded up, but Typhoos paid no attention to them. It just raises its head and announces its arrival to the world.
"Because I am the master of demons..."
"I am the King of Demons, Typhon!"
