Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 95 The Real Death_3

But this didn’t hinder The Dark Overlord from uttering a sneer in the shadows, for he knew that soon the other would come to realize that the rigid world of the present doesn’t entertain anything like tolerance. Or rather, its level of tolerance was absolutely zero.

His own sister still failed to understand this principle, even though Gaia herself was one of the keystones that formed the foundation of the present world; and yet, as she walked the earth with her half-majestic identity, she was continually greeted by relentless division and weakening.

Even without seeing the trajectory of fate, Erebus could guess that before Gaia was completely shattered and her supreme powers dissipated, or before she returned to her original form, this weakening wouldn’t cease.

“If my dear sister experiences this, then what about you?”

“Of course, you’re not under Its control, so It can’t directly influence you, but It can reject you, just as It has rejected me.”

With a light chuckle, The Dark Overlord knew that the wonders of supreme authority did not end there; otherwise, he would not have previously extolled them so highly. But the effects were more directed towards the Spirit Realm rather than any individual entity.

But as Erebus didn’t have a world of his own yet, he didn’t much envy this effect.

Continuing to stand on the edge of the realm, feeling that separated piece of darkness, Erebus patiently waited. Until he sensed them appearing in a place that was both familiar and strange to him, not far from where he was.

“Tartarus… I too am quite curious about what exactly resides within my oblivious brother.”

“Let me see what you’re up to.”

His brow slightly furrowed, the part of the soul led into the Abyss was undoubtedly beyond The Dark Overlord’s expectations. Within it, although he could still feel his power, it was more passive.

He could still know what they had experienced, but it was likely to be after the event occurs, and there might be a slight delay.

But how the souls of Silver Humanity were handled was never in his control to begin with. So Erebus had no additional reaction, he simply stood with his hands behind his back, silently waiting.

Meanwhile, upon the earth.

The power of the Divine King was the manifestation of the blessing of the present world; others might not notice the issue, but the world itself was not easily deceived.

On Cronus, each and every second, such power was continually slipping away. Even if he did nothing, it would last at most seven days.

Therefore, to ensure the supreme power that was fast depleting in its intertwining with the current order of the world might persist a little longer, Cronus had a thought and lifted a distant seal.

Suddenly, the power maintaining the seal returned, and the atmosphere around him instantly stabilized.

Pleased and nodding in approval, Cronus glanced in front of him. His right hand exerted a gentle force, and the supreme-rulers, who were still struggling, were immediately pressed inch by inch to the ground. The thunder and the deluge, transformed from supreme power, clashed against the colossal hand, yet could not shake it in the slightest.

“Gaia, truly an old friend.”

Looking up, towards the east of the vast land, a yellow light illuminated the sky, a sign that Mother Earth was on her way.

Compared to Zeus, who was far from his peak, this Primordial supreme-ruler, who hadn’t yet declined to her extreme, was a worthy opponent to be confronted.

“Now, this is getting interesting. The current Zeus is just so-so. To make the present world feel the ‘threat’ from the supreme-rulers, he alone is not enough.”

With a snort, ‘Cronus’ blurred for a moment. The next instant, as the power of space and time surged, a phantasmal figure connecting heaven and earth soared into being.

With his head touching the sky and his feet on the ground, Mount of the supreme-rulers was but weeds by his legs, and the rivers and mountains were merely ants before him. Adjusting to the new perspective, the colossal phantasmal presence moved, confronting Gaia from afar.

“Who are you?”

Watching this scene, Gaia gritted her teeth, confirming her suspicion. Cronus had been replaced, and through the earth’s sensing, nowhere else could she find the presence of her youngest son.

Laine or Erebus, only these two had the potential to commit such an act. At that moment, Gaia once again regretted why she had believed her brother’s lies.

Whatever meant for the Spirit Realm and Silver Humanity might just be as the Prophecy had spoken, a poison aimed specifically at the Divine King.

In front of her, however, ‘Cronus’ didn’t care about her thoughts.

He merely bent slightly, and the clouds in the sea of clouds parted in succession. Looking towards his ‘Mother supreme-rulerdess,’ who was nominally himself, ‘Cronus’ said indifferently.

“Who am I? Do you not see clearly yet, Gaia? I am the Divine King, the supreme ruler of the sky, the earth, and the oceans.”

“Of course, if you prefer to call me by my very first name, that’s also fine.”

The colossal phantasmal figure looked up, beholding the starry direction above. It seemed that with the unsealing, something expected had changed there.

But it was meaningless. In the past, the master of the sun was an adversary, but now, the sun itself was nothing but a toy.

So, he looked towards Mother Earth, towards the supreme-rulers, and towards all beings that should pledge loyalty to the Divine King.

Since he was now the Divine King, he should say what a Divine King ought to say.

“Sing praises to my name, my foolish subjects.”

Supreme power coalesced, accompanying his voice, spreading throughout the world.

“I am Cronus, I am the King of Time and Space!”

The power that had reached its zenith swirled around the massive phantasm, like silvery white ribbons of light. The next moment, ‘Cronus’ clenched his fists and hammered down fiercely towards the earth.

Without any flourish, this was the collision between status and power. A vast and endless halo of earthy yellow light staunchly blocked his path, facing this world-shaking strike, Gaia merged with the earth, and the authority of the Primordial supreme-rulers was undeniable.

The world seemed to fall silent for an instant, as two powers beyond mighty Divine Powers clashed, the void began to crumble, and the shockwaves drove the supreme-rulers back. Gaia was slightly inferior, and therefore at the point of her position, the earth sunk in, forming a massive basin. Countless Mountain supreme-rulers and River supreme-rulers turned to dust in an instant, but it was not over yet.

Under the horrified gazes of the supreme-rulers, the phantasm that had just caused all of this took a step back due to the rebounding force, and collided thunderously with the towering Mount of the supreme-rulers.

The next moment, Mount Othrys, the tallest mountain in the world, closest to the sky, began to tremble violently and then slowly collapsed towards the northwest.
