Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 492 - 138 303-7_2

But no matter who he was, he couldn’t possibly affect the outcome of the struggle between the two realms. So at this juncture, the Ancient Serpent didn’t pay any attention to his emotions.

If he escaped in time, then he could consider himself lucky. If he remained there once the conflict between the realms was over...

Hell might not do much to him, after all, even a temporary victory by the Nine Hells would not justify entering a region still shrouded in the power of the Abyss for the sake of one unknown deity. But the Demon Gods would be a different matter.

By that time, whether he could leave or not, only Heaven would know.

...

Far from the center of the Abyss, in the chaos-colored void, layers lie scattered like stars across a chessboard.

Some are large, some small, and each radiate differently colored lights. It’s as if they correspond with the sky above, forming a ’starry sky’ below all worlds.

"The Abyss is truly a wondrous place."

"Before today, I had no idea there existed such a world beyond the present one."

Standing in a dark red world, Helios felt some emotion.

After a long journey, the God of Sun had found his previous understanding of this place to be somewhat mistaken. Inside Tartarus, those overlapping layers were not merely arranged according to the spatial concept of ’up’ and ’down’; even on the same plane, there seemed to be more than one layer.

At this moment, he was in another layer, entwined with flames. This was the seventh layer he’d come across following the direction of the noise, and also, the one that seemed weakest in power.

Yes, even if the layers on the same ’plane’ appeared to have similar characteristics, like being covered in lava and fire, their strength varied greatly. Apart from that first layer at the ’center’ which was the most powerful, the outer ones had much less, without any discernible pattern.

Some were stronger, some weaker, seemingly randomly derived. So to describe his position more accurately, the God of Sun simply tagged them with numbers.

Since he was in the 303rd layer down from the ’top’, and this was the seventh layer he had encountered, he named it the 303-7th Abyssal Plane.

"It seems understandable, after all, the master of this perspective is emanating a flame of destruction, perhaps the entire 303rd layer of the Abyss is somehow connected to it."

Making a judgment effortlessly, Helios quickly accepted this outcome. However, what followed was a sigh of relief for his caution.

"Incredible, the Abyss has actually given birth to native deities... if they truly are deities."

"Perhaps the gods of the Abyss are just like that, after all, the world beyond is always different from the material world, it’s understandable if they turned out this way. But looking at it this way—maybe the Father God wasn’t joking, and the Hekatonkheires really aren’t the offspring of the Heavenly Father?"

A strange thought arose and was then suppressed by Helios.

It was just speculation, after all, even the Primordial Sea God could give birth to an oddity like the ’Father of Monsters’; under the watch of the former Heavenly Father, Mother Earth should not have borne offspring with the irrational Abyss.

Nevertheless, today’s discovery could literally shake all the gods of the material world; life existed even in the Abyss they considered a prison, and they were even besieging the deities imprisoned here.

Whether it was solely directed at the God of Meteorology or equally against all the gods of the material world, Helios had yet to ascertain. But his choice to stop here was no doubt the right one.

Perhaps soon, another entity capable of influencing the situation would emerge in the material world... The good news is, that’s a headache for King Zeus. The bad news is, they don’t have brains, and they seem to fight with a reckless abandon.

"This world is still too mysterious, like the mysterious person who once briefly fought with the Goddess of Hearthfire during the great flood and claimed to come from Hell... Unfortunately, I neither have a way to contact these unknown strong beings, nor dare I seek their allegiance."

Shaking his head, Helios was now sure that the location from where the previous disturbance emanated was probably this battlefield. With that in mind, there was no need for him to continue forward.

Gaia was probably not here, and besides, this place was too dangerous. Death was not an outcome, but being trapped here was not an interesting prospect.

With this thought, the inclination to retreat began to rise in Helios’s heart...

"Hm?"

His spirit suddenly invigorated, the Sun God noticed that the situation reflected in the vision seemed to have changed.

Although he couldn’t hear any sounds or feel a clearer presence, Crius clearly exhibited a look of surprise amidst the siege.
