Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 517 - 150: Typhon_2

The existence sealed by the world, possessing the power to easily replenish her loss as a Primordial Deity, and incidentally, the power to conceive a Demon God, is terrifying just to think about.

If she weren’t a Primordial Deity, protected by the current world along with her spirit, Gaia would not have so readily accepted the other’s power.

Fortunately, there were no ifs in reality, so in her heart, Gaia silently applauded her own actions.

Indeed, her greatest failure since her divine birth had come from Zeus, and it was simply because she had not adjusted her mentality properly. As long as she treated this new Divine King in the same manner as she treated the other Primordial Gods, everything would turn out fine.

"...Hmm?"

Lost in thought, Gaia suddenly felt an unusual quiet around her. The constant dripping sound that had been falling had stopped at some unknown point, completely silencing the vast emptiness.

It was like the calm before the storm, as if some terrifying change had occurred. However, Gaia, who had noticed these changes, was not alarmed but rather delighted, because she knew exactly what that dripping sound was.

It wasn’t actual water, but a fluid flowing from the branches of the Flesh-Mother Tree. It was the best nourishment in the world, constantly nurturing the growth of something beneath the ground.

And now that it had stopped, the reason was obvious. The vague consciousness of the Mother Tree had once expressed "the right moment," and perhaps that moment had arrived today.

Crack...

...

Crack—

...

Crack!

She looked down towards the stratified layers, and as if responding to Gaia’s gaze, fine cracks began to spread among the rocks on the floor of the cavity. The earth trembled slightly,

It seemed influenced by its instincts, but it was still able to communicate... that was enough. So, lifting herself higher towards the top of the cavity, Gaia spoke out loud:

"Typhon, since you can understand me, come out quickly. Go and overturn Olympus for me, dethrone the Divine King!"

Boom— Read exclusive adventures at empire

The loud noise returned, and as Gaia spoke, Typhon’s ninth head also emerged from the ground. Perhaps due to its inherent traits, each time a head was raised, the rest would swell.

At this moment, eighteen enormous eyes larger than Gaia herself gazed up at this being hovering in mid-air. Staring at the entity with an essence somewhat akin to its own, Typhon spoke its first words.

"...Who am I?"

Raising an eyebrow, Gaia was somewhat taken aback by the beast’s response, but she still explained.

"You are a monster, a demon, destined to destroy Olympus as Typhon. Destruction is the purpose of your birth; you should be able to feel the agitation in your blood as well."

"...Then who are you?"

Eighteen dragon heads hung in the cavity, the space that was once like an underground world now seemed a bit crowded.

Yet Typhon seemed not to mind this detail and just stared at Gaia, asking its second question.

"I am the deity who nurtured you, Typhon, the Mother Earth of Chaos. All things are born upon my body; I am the foundation of the world."

Frowning slightly, but Gaia still offered an explanation.

"...Then this Divine King you speak of... what is that?"

Thirty-six heads now packed the entire cavity; the underground world carved out by Gaia could no longer contain the giant. The rocky walls trembled, on the verge of collapse, but seeing this scene, Gaia felt somewhat elated.
