Chapter 306: The Great Zodiac Barrier
Although outsiders don't know, including the Lord of Darkness Erebus, all the gods think that the master of the spirit world is still at the top of the seven worlds, secretly making his own plans, or quietly watching the changes of the world. But the goddess of starlight knows very well that Ryan is not in the spirit world at the moment, and he will not return here for a long time in the future.
Ryan's arrangement for Chaos has come to an end, at least it is related to the gods-maybe there are others, but that is obviously not known by the angels.
As he once judged, after the disaster of Typhon, the strictness of the world's laws may be further strengthened, so as Ryan said before leaving, if there are any troubles in the future, it will be up to the angels to solve them.
After all, they are with the spirit world and are immortal and sacred. No matter what happens, it is nothing more than losing some interests.
"But I will do it well."
Gently clenching her fist, Esther didn't want Ryan to leave and she would give up the starry sky... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look into the depths of the spirit world.
The black fog that devoured light and heat was still swirling. Without Ryan's orders and the intimidation of the Creator, even Lyanna could not control the [Sun Devourer] wandering in the depths of the spirit world.
Just as Ryan had named it, Ephraim, a kind of [Ancient Evil], no one could really control it. In fact, just like Ryan's judgment of evil, he never judged from where the power came from, but aimed at their tendency towards order and chaos, as well as the degree of thinking and rationality.
So even when Ephraim was born, the mother tree was still floating in the wreckage of the Nine Realms, but considering its primitive chaotic thinking, Ryan still classified it as an [Ancient Evil].
"... If it is willing to obey - no, I'm afraid it can't do anything about the sun now... Forget it, as long as I can use some of its power."
Shaking his head gently, Esther stepped out of the spirit world and headed towards the direction where Athena flew.
The sun has changed. [Sun Devourer] has no restraint on the power of the mother tree. It cannot solve the current supreme celestial body by relying on it alone.
Although she has an idea, her power is far from enough to complete it.
Fortunately, there is still an Athena. As intelligent life multiplies on the earth, her power grows much faster than Metis in the past. In her hands, the upper limit of the [Wisdom] priesthood is truly reflected.
Among the gods of Olympus today, Hestia's priesthood is a little weaker than her original one, and Demeter is at the bottom of the field of powerful divine power; Hades does not participate in the disputes on the earth, and Poseidon is nothing before he controls enough sea areas.
Aphrodite, who controls love and beauty, is almost a decoration. Although like the god of sleep, her powerful divine power can even slightly affect Zeus now when it is fully exerted, but without the little god of love in the original trajectory, her power is greatly reduced; the goddess of life is not around, Apollo's origin is injured, not to mention Ares - in fact, Athena is already the second most powerful god in Olympus at this moment.
Not surprisingly, the strength will inevitably bring about the enhancement of status. Perhaps soon after this disaster, the kingdom of Athens on earth will become another pearl on the goddess' crown.
······
At the core of the sun, looking at another flash of light, Helios's expression moved slightly.
He recognized the visitor, that was the goddess of starlight in the spiritual world, also known as [Star Spreader] and his old opponent - although he only thought of her as an opponent unilaterally.
Since the Second Age, the starry sky has had many masters, including Hyperion, Kronos, and the gods of Skylight and Daylight who occupied some star regions. There are also the Titans who live in seclusion in the depths of the starry sky, Coeus, the lord of the lightless celestial body, and Phoebe, the goddess of light.
Of course, the goddess of starlight is also among them. She and other true gods of the spiritual world ruled the zodiac star region, and Helios's sister Selene can actually be regarded as a "small prince". After all, although she is weak, she actually inherited a lot of the inheritance left by her parents.
Those star gods who once pledged allegiance to the mother of light, Theia, would rather go to see Selene than come to see Helios, so an embarrassing situation arises. Across two eras, Helios has never mastered even a star region that obeys his orders. Even the place where the sun moves is theoretically someone else's territory.
"Oh, if it's Zeus, then I'll admit it. His power is indeed strong now, but you still want to target me. Do you think I'm still the Helios I used to be?"
With a sneer, Helios wanted to do something, but then stopped.
Now, every moment, there is an unknown amount of power from the mother tree that shines through everything along the light emitted by the sun, hiding in the peaceful world. Now every bit of power he releases will become an anchor for Helios to intervene in the outside world after he is sealed by Zeus.
Just like the mother tree uses him and those evil things as a medium to influence the world, those lives affected by the [Fallen Corona] will also become his medium. At this moment, it is right to seize the time to release power, and he doesn't need to pay attention at all-
"What are they doing?"
With a slight change of expression, Helios suddenly found that his connection with the outside world had been weakened.
No, this description is not correct. It should be said that the power he released that could reach outside the zodiac star field has been weakened.
In the vast and endless starry sky, the twelve zodiac star fields seemed to have changed. Those illusory stars that had been hidden in the Typhon disaster emerged from the star space again and slowly moved along the past trajectory. Only this time, there seemed to be some connection between their running trajectories, making them regular and orderly.
The twelve star gods were divided into various parties, and they easily integrated the star field power that they had already mastered. Just like the twelve fulcrums, at this moment, the light from the supreme star was absorbed little by little, and then torn apart.
Among them, the part belonging to the [Sun] was divided into thirteen, one fell into a place that was like a black hole in Helios' perception, and the other twelve fell in the twelve star fields. The power of the mother tree was also torn away, but it was not absorbed by the star field. Instead, it was directly scattered in the starry sky, and then was divided and suppressed by the power of the star field.
The light was divided, and Helios could feel that this huge ritual composed of stars seemed to be extracting his power. But it also did not dare to touch the pollution of the mother tree, so it simply divided and transformed it directly.
Separate the original part of the sun from the mother tree and use his own power to fight against himself. As the ritual was running, the light shining from the starry sky into the outside world was weakening almost every minute and every second.
"What kind of trick is this? Do you think this can limit me?"
With a cold look, Helios shook the sun. The released light changed instantly. They changed from illusory light to evil things with form, and then rushed towards the gradually running barrier.
Just a few star gods, maybe these evil things are not your opponents, but the starry sky is so vast, you will definitely not be able to kill them all. As long as you can penetrate the barrier, the result will not be any different!
So at this moment, because of the loss of the sun's light, the starry sky dimmed. On the contrary, the zodiac star field, which had just absorbed some of the sunlight, looked glittering.
...
Human world, North Sea.
"Hmm?"
Standing on the island that looked like a huge tombstone, Zeus was about to engrave words on it.
Seal the remaining power of Typhon... He hasn't figured out how to do it yet. But how to deal with the follow-up matters, he has already secretly planned in his mind.
This island cannot be abandoned. He will expand here, move more islands to splice it, and in the future, he will guide humans to come here - and then see the inscription left on it, describing how the God King suppressed the world-destroying demon.
This place will be named Sicily by mortals, they will build a temple here, sing praises to the supreme power of the God King, and then spit on the despicable sneak attack, but the demons who are ultimately defeated by the God King's mighty power.
They will tell this story to future generations, and this is the only story that Typhon will leave in the world. At this moment, the God King was considering the words. Because it involved some of his own secrets, he did not intend to let anyone write this "historical text" for him.
However, just when he was about to write, the sky suddenly darkened. The sun that originally emitted red light suddenly lost its light, as if it disappeared in the sea of stars. Zeus looked up suddenly, and soon he understood the principle.
"Boundary, Athena has such a method?"
"No, it is those star gods from the spiritual world. Haha, the disaster of Typhon, none of these original gods came out, but in the end it was solved by me."
Sneering, looking at the changes in the starry sky, Zeus always felt a little familiar, but not so familiar.
But it was indeed very effective. In fact, Zeus just wanted Athena to delay time temporarily, and did not really expect her to solve the sun that had changed so much. He thought he had to deal with it by himself again. Sealing the sun... That is not a simple matter.
But now it seems that she has done a good job.
This huge ritual seemed to borrow the targeting of the power of the [Sun] by a certain existence, and then unilaterally separated the original power of this celestial body from it, and then absorbed and transformed it with the twelve star fields.
Afterwards, these transformed powers can be used in turn to suppress those parts belonging to the Outer Gods, which is equivalent to using the power of the sun itself to fight against itself. Even in this process, these powers dissipated in the confrontation can also broaden and strengthen the area of the zodiac star field, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"It's just that she may be a little difficult now. The one used to absorb the power of the [Sun] should be the [Sun Devourer] that appeared more than once in the Second Age. It can absorb the light of the sun, but it can't separate the power that has turned into evil things through the air."
Smiling, Zeus felt that it was a bit coincidental because he immediately thought of a solution.
If possible, he still hoped that Athena could solve this problem directly. After all, if this barrier could take effect, he could save the power to suppress the sun, so without hesitation, Zeus took out a ball of light from his body.
A brilliant palace, from which there seemed to be shouts and clashes of weapons, that was [Hall of Valor], also known as Valhalla.
It was originally the place where Odin, the king of the nine realms, trained warriors. The Valkyries, called Valkyries, went to the human world to select warriors who died in battle and brought their souls here to obey orders. They were originally warriors prepared by Odin for the Ragnarok, so this special palace also had a certain symbol of [war].
Zeus learned some corners from it, but he could not understand the further content. He also had guards who had some combat power but were not strong.
The king of gods originally planned to reward [Hall of Valor] to Ares and Aphrodite, so that this useless son could expand the divine power of [war], and the trained Valkyries could also serve as the guards of the goddess of beauty, as the intersection of [beauty] and [war], but now it seems that they may have other uses.
The number of gods is not enough, but it is not necessarily necessary to solve the problem of fighting against those evil things that are temporarily transformed by light. With the help of [Hall of Valor], I think this big trouble can be stopped directly in the starry sky.
As for Ares...
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly. Just like the original myth, neither Zeus nor Hera actually liked Ares that much.
It's just that the latter had no choice. This was the only child with a powerful divine position born to her and Zeus, but for the King of Gods, he had other options.
"So, where did Apollo go?"
If he didn't come before, it might be because he was timid. Although it was a bit inconsistent with Apollo's usual performance, Zeus could understand it. But the disaster of Typhon was over, where did he go now?
Besides, he still had a problem to solve... If the sun was gone, at least its light was isolated, then what would the world rely on to get light in the future?
...
PS: (less than 200 words)
I won't write about the communication between Athena and Esther (nonsense). If someone wants to read it, I can also flash back a chapter, but I feel that no one should read it, emmm. Also, the future that Nuo saw was not here. There is often a saying in prehistoric novels, called "The Holy Heart is the Heart of Heaven", and the future he saw was even further into the future.
