Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator

In the Second Age, humans were always small.

Except for a few existences, no god pays attention to the aging of human beings everywhere. At most, he thinks of it during some leisure time, and then suddenly finds that all human beings are dead.

But death means death. Now the attention of the gods of Chaos is focused on the god king who gave birth to the sons of gods one after another.

He has three daughters, and each of them has a powerful clergy and extraordinary talents, but their natural gender prevents them from threatening the throne of the God King. But Cronus cannot only have daughters forever, he will eventually have his own divine son.

Just around the time the God King's fourth child was about to be born, on the Great Plains of Delphi, within the reach of the Earth Mother's divine power, silver humans were being born in the hands of this ancient god who had suffered heavy losses.

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

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

······

"Cronus, don't blame me. The arrival of the Silver Age is dictated by fate, and I just obey Him."

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

Because of what happened before, she did have a lot of dissatisfaction with Cronus, but he was the first child to stand up and be willing to resist his heavenly father. She was willing to cause him some trouble, but she didn't really want him to pay a heavy price.

This contradictory psychology is undoubtedly revealed in the myth. While she guided Zeus to release the giants trapped in the abyss, she created three artifacts for the three brothers. However, after the war between the gods and kings ended, she was dissatisfied with Zeus's harsh treatment of the Titans. , giving birth to Typhon to fight against the Olympian gods.

Throughout the entire process, Gaia's position could be described as swinging between left and right, never making up her mind.

"We've come to this point, my sister, don't you want to stop?"

"Have you felt the joy from the underworld? As expected, the next child of Cronus will have its divine power related to that place."

"It doesn't matter to me. Although the Underworld is also affected by my power, it is only an insignificant part. But what about you? Your [Earth] will lose another part. This is all brought to you by your good child."

The voice of the Lord of Darkness, Erebus, was looming. He was standing beside Gaia, but the family of God of Speech who were watching turned a blind eye to him.

As a secret itself, few gods can detect his presence if they don't want to. Even the laws of this world have ignored this ancient god to a certain extent.

"I see."

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

But reason is reason, and reality is reality. Just like what he said, Mother Earth also felt the vibration of the origin of the underworld.

Although the underworld is not completely controlled by Gaia as a place where the real world and the outside world intersect, it is still a part of her.

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

Stretching out his hand, he merged the faint darkness with the source liquid of the treasure bottle, and the original emerald green liquid was dyed with a shadow. Under the power of the earth, the earth and stones needed to create humans gush out and combine with the source liquid.

Although he didn't like Ryan, Gaia had to admit that the humans he created before were already perfect. So she just made slight adjustments to make them fit in with the life source fluid whose properties had changed somewhat.

It is difficult to create, but easy to imitate, so just three days later, the prototype of Silver Humanity appeared.

Different from golden humans, due to the infiltration of dark power, Gaia dare not create an excellent model first and then copy it, because only by diluting it enough can they look normal. So she had to repeat her actions over and over again, even creating hundreds of humans at the same time.

Finally, when she stopped, dense crowds of silver humans had appeared on the ground. They have not yet been given souls, so their eyes are lifeless, but the breath of life has already appeared on them.

It's just that compared to the golden age, for some reason, the silver humans are short in stature, like the children of the gods who have not yet grown up. And even though he was just watching, Iapotus, the god of speech, felt an aura of indulgence, lust, greed, and cunning coming from them.

"It seems that the Mother Goddess is not in a good mood, so is her mood transmitted to these humans along with the divine power?"

“But will such human beings really worship the gods as devoutly as their predecessors did?

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

Creation is a task entrusted by Mother Earth. If we think about the prophecy, when the silver humans appear, war will break out on the earth, then their various behaviors become reasonable.

"Iapitus, I leave the rest to you."

Gaia breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling 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.

"As you command, Mother Goddess."

Bowing slightly, the God of Speech stepped forward. He picked up the artifact long whip, stirred it in the prepared materials, and then shook it lightly.

Under the influence of the power of the artifact, as the materials fell to the ground, just like when golden humans were born, thousands of different types of animals appeared on the Great Plains.

A strange aura came from it and fell on the long whip, and the power of this artifact became slightly stronger.

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

"Um?"

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

That's because he took the well water according to the needs of all spirits to reproduce, but forgot that humans did not need to reproduce, so the part that belonged to humans remained.

"Then stay here."

If the well water leaves the special cup, even if it is not used, it will lose its magical effect after seven days. So Iapetus poured the remaining portion on a rock at his feet, and then watched the changes in the great plain of Delphi.

Just under his gaze, humans and all spirits opened their eyes one after another, and silver life would spread across the earth.

Of course, besides him, the one who saw this scene was Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, who had been hovering near Delphi.
