Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

In the Second Age, humans are always insignificant.

Except for a few, no god cares about the aging of humans everywhere. At most, they will think of it in their spare time, and then suddenly realize that humans are all dead.

But dead is dead. Now the attention of Chaos gods is focused on the God King who gave birth to sons of gods one after another.

He has three daughters, and each of them has a powerful priesthood and extraordinary talents, but their natural gender makes them unable to threaten the throne of the God King. But Kronos can't always have only daughters. He will eventually have his own son of God.

Just before and after the birth of the fourth child of the God King, on the Delphi Plain, in the area covered by the power of the Earth Mother, the silver human was born in the hands of this repeatedly hit ancient god.

Iapetus was watching this scene, his two children and his wife, the goddess of fame, Clymene, were all here. Since he had decided to disobey the order of the God King, he would naturally be prepared.

Unfortunately, because of this, he and his wife had a big quarrel. After all, the God of Speech decided to live in seclusion under the protection of the Earth Mother, and the Goddess of Fame was obviously not a god who liked to keep a low profile.

······

"Kronos, don't blame me. The arrival of the Silver Age is determined by fate, and I just obeyed Him."

Holding the [Life Bottle], a dark mist loomed. Although she had made a decision before, Gaia hesitated when it came to the end.

Because of the previous things, she did have a lot of dissatisfaction with Kronos, but he was the first child who stood up and was willing to resist the Father of Heaven. She was willing to cause him some trouble, but she didn't really want him to pay too heavy a price.

This contradictory psychology is clearly revealed in the myth. On the one hand, she guided Zeus to release the giant trapped in the abyss and created three artifacts for the three brothers, but after the end of the battle between the gods and kings, she was dissatisfied with Zeus's harshness on the Titans and gave birth to Typhon to fight against the Olympian gods.

Throughout the process, Gaia's position was swaying, and she never made up her mind.

"It has come to this, my sister, you won't stop, will you?"

"Have you felt the joy from the underworld? If nothing unexpected happens, the theocracy of Kronos' next child will be related to that place."

"I don't care. Although the underworld is also affected by my power, it is only a tiny part. But what about you? Your [Earth] will lose another part, and this is all brought to you by your good child."

The voice of the dark ruler Erebus is looming. He stands beside Gaia, but the family of the God of Speech who is watching ignores him.

As a secret itself, as long as he doesn't want to, almost no gods can detect his existence. Even the laws of the world have ignored this ancient god to a certain extent.

"I know."

Gaia replied coldly, knowing that Erebus' words actually made no sense, and the King of Gods could not decide what the priesthood of his descendants would be.

But reason is reason, reality is reality, just as he said, the Earth Mother also felt the shock of the origin of the underworld.

Although the underworld, as a place where the present world and the outside world meet, is not completely under Gaia's control, it is still a part of her.

But soon, this part will also welcome a new owner.

Reaching out his hand, he merged the faint darkness with the source liquid of the Aquarius, and the originally emerald green liquid was stained with a layer of shadow. Under the power of the earth, the soil and stone needed to create humans gushed out and combined with the source liquid.

Although she didn't like Ryan, Gaia had to admit that the humans he had created before were already perfect. So she just made a slight adjustment to make them fit with the life source liquid with some changes in nature.

Creation is difficult, but imitation is easy, so after only three days, the prototype of silver humans appeared.

Unlike gold humans, because of the infiltration of dark power, Gaia did not dare to create an excellent sample first and then copy it, because only enough dilution can make them look normal. So she had to repeat her actions over and over again, and even created hundreds of humans at the same time.

Finally, when she stopped, densely packed silver humans had appeared on the earth. They have not been given souls yet, so their eyes are dull, but the breath of life has already appeared in them.

Compared with the Golden Age, for some reason, the silver humans are short, like the children of the gods who have not grown up yet. And even if he was just watching, the God of Speech Iapetus also felt a breath of indulgence, lust, greed, and cunning coming from them.

"It seems that the Mother Goddess is in a bad mood, so her mood is transmitted into these humans through the divine power?"

"But will such humans really worship the gods as devoutly as their predecessors?

The God of Speech couldn't help but feel puzzled, but due to the existence of the Earth Mother, he didn't say anything.

Creation is the task assigned by the Earth Mother. Think about the prophecy that when the silver humans appear, war will break out on the earth, and their various behaviors will seem reasonable.

"Iapetus, the rest is up to you. "

Gaia heaved a sigh of relief and was a little tired. Doing the same thing over and over again made her feel mentally bored. In addition, the birth of the silver humans was a conspiracy, and she didn't want to see them again.

"Yes, Mother Goddess."

The God of Speech stepped forward with a slight bow. He picked up the artifact whip, stirred it in the materials prepared in advance, and then shook it lightly.

Under the power of the artifact, as the materials fell to the ground, just like when the golden human was born, thousands of different kinds of animals appeared on the great plain.

A strange breath came out of it and fell on the long whip, and the power of this artifact was slightly enhanced.

Putting down the long whip, the God of Speech raised the cup again. It was filled with well water from the [Well of Origin]. He used his divine power to turn them into mist and enveloped the creatures present.

"Hmm?"

After completing this step, Iapetus thought it was over, but he unexpectedly found that there was still a little well water left in the cup.

That was because he took the well water according to the needs of the reproduction of all spirits, but forgot that humans did not need to reproduce, so the part belonging to humans was left.

"Then leave it here."

The well water will lose its magical effect after seven days even if it is not used after leaving the special cup. So Iapetus poured the remaining part on a rock at his feet, and then watched the changes on the Delphi Plain.

As he watched, humans and all spirits opened their eyes one after another, and silver life would spread across the land.

Of course, in addition to him, Zephyrus, the god of the west wind who had been hovering near Delphi, also saw this scene.
