I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

Chapter 171

"What are you here for?"

At the moment when Hermes stopped the surrounding time, Apollo's original golden pupils suddenly turned into a piece of gold.

Not the sun, not the moon, it was an extremely pure light.

At this moment, Apollo seemed to be the condensed body of all the light in the whole world.

His existence is the light, the direction in which living beings walk, and the goal of the world.

The power of hope is constantly emerging from Apollo, and the beliefs behind this come from the beliefs of all living beings converge into a very special force.

It is precisely because of this power protection that Apollo can still maintain a state of freedom in the space-time field created by Hermes.

As a primitive god, Hermes has reached the level of Hunyuan in the prehistoric.

This also means that he himself has become a powerful individual independent of the world, and it also gives Hermes the ability to make his own rules.

Because of this, Hermes froze the time in that temple at that moment just now.

The Moon Goddess itself does not have the ability to transcend the rules, so there is no chance of resistance at all, and Artemis is directly restrained.

But unlike his younger sister, Apollo, as the master of this world, already possesses a little power beyond the laws.

So Apollo can move freely, and even fight against Hermes.

However, at this time, Apollo didn't pay attention to the moon goddess who was fixed in place. Instead, he put all his energy on Hermes, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly explode into trouble.

"Very powerful."

Facing Apollo's questioning and seeing his solemn expression, Hermes felt extremely embarrassed.

But on the surface, he just smiled slightly, and at the same time praised the opponent's use of the power of rules, "Just based on your attainments in the law, it is estimated that you are not far from the level of the original god. If this is the case, you should not Get into that muddy water."

Although this is a compliment, there is another warning hidden behind it.

Apollo is the personification of truth, not inferior to Athena in terms of wisdom.

Hermes believed that Apollo should be able to hear the hint.

From the perspective of Hermes, it is easy to see the nature of the power entangled in the opponent.

In the words of Buddhism, it is the power of the will of all beings, and among the gods, this power is classified as "faith".

But all living beings will have faith.

Although invisible and intangible, it seems extremely abstract, but this power is real.

Faith can often create miracles, so this ability to bring hope can also transform people into gods.

The so-called belief in enshrining the gods is to gather the beliefs of all living beings, and then make oneself ascend to the position of gods.

Apollo turned one world into his own private land, and all life forms in this world naturally became his followers.

Unlike Athena, the goddess of wisdom who swallowed the original power of God Laola and entered the level of the original god, Apollo clearly understood that he could not choose this method.

The reason is also very simple, nothing more than because the origin of this world is not strong.

After all, this world was only a recorded existence in the world of Chaos at the beginning. At that time, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, and Nix, the goddess of the night, focused most of their energy on fighting against the law.

Therefore, these two great gods have neither the ability nor the resources to supply the growth of another world. It can be said that it is already the limit to be able to give birth to this level of civilization.

Even if Apollo completely digested it, that power was not enough to make it break through to another level.

That being the case, why did he kill the chicken to get the eggs?

"It seems that you have seen my roots."

Hearing the hidden meaning of Hermes' grammar, the corners of Apollo's mouth curled up, but he smiled.

But unlike the gentle and sunny smiles of the past, Apollo now rarely shows a gloomy look on his face, and even his tone is low, "If this is the case, then I think you should understand that I can get here One step, how much energy and effort did you put in?"

"You've paid off for your hard work and diligence, so it's not an excuse."

Spreading his hands, Hermes slowly lowered the seat he was sitting on to the same height as Apollo.

He stood up and got down from the chair, then approached the other party step by step, and said softly: "I know you are worried, and Athena must have told you my thoughts before, don't doubt, I didn't put you here Any eyeliner, just because she and my avatar left immediately after making a big deal, I guessed at that time that he probably came to you and wanted to form an alliance against me."

"You see everything very clearly."

Faced with Hermes' words, Apollo snorted directly, but did not refute his words.

On the one hand, it was because what Hermes said was indeed true, and besides that, the sun god was unwilling to lie to his former brother.

Things are like this, even if you want to cover up, there is no need.

It would be better to admit it openly, and see what kind of medicine the other party is selling in the gourd.

"Seeing clearly doesn't mean I can jump out of this circle."

Walking in front of the other party, Hermes raised his head, looked at the elder brother who had become more mature back then, and sighed in his tone, "Brother Apollo, I know it is not easy for you to get to where you are today. I also understand that you desire strength and want to protect the Goddess of the Night and the Moon. I came to you this time just to tell you what is in my heart. If I can make you understand my intentions and get your support, then naturally Everyone is happy. But even if I can't, I don't want to meet you in battle."

Speaking of this, Hermes himself felt that he was being benevolent.

The fact that he didn't fight the other party immediately was because Hermes still cared about the love he had back then, not because he was afraid of Apollo.

In addition, Hermes has also seen the other party's situation.

Since he was able to act so freely within the rules he created, in other words, at this moment, Apollo had already gotten rid of the restriction of the personality of the main god.

As early as he obtained the throne of the gods of this world, it also meant that Apollo had already taken the step towards the original god.

It's a pity that he has only taken a step, and this step has not yet landed.

If not, he would not have been so cautious when facing Hermes.

Because at this moment, they are no longer just brothers like before. Hermes has become a primitive god, and he intends to integrate multiple worlds.

"You mean it's just that simple?"

After listening to Hermes' words, Apollo was silent for a while, and suddenly asked this question.

His tone was a little hesitant, as if he still had doubts about Hermes' true thoughts.

"If you think I'm trying to lie to you, why did I come here? Take a step back—even if I want to take you down, you can still move forward so smoothly in the rule world I created ?"

Hermes was simply amused by the other party's words.

Perhaps his intention is to seize the supremacy of the new world, and this matter seems to Apollo to be an extremely ambitious act.

In addition to the other party's true intentions, will this matter affect yourself?

This is also a question that Apollo and Athena thought about before but couldn't solve it.

It is impossible for them to choose to ask Hermes about this kind of problem, so the goddess of wisdom will drive the other party away immediately, and Apollo has put on such a defensive posture.

"..."

Hermes spoke clearly, and Apollo felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

If possible, he didn't want to get into this situation with the other party.

But it is a pity that his original choice, coupled with his current position, has already doomed him to not be able to help the other party according to Hermes' ideas as he wants.

"Although what you said is very good, I still have to say that I will not back down."

Opening his hands, endless incandescent light emerged from behind him. At this moment, Apollo seemed to replace the celestial bodies in the sky and become a huge sun.

He is the light; he is the heat; he is the core of the world--

"In the new world, I will definitely become a primitive god, and occupy the power of light, bringing hope to many creatures in the world."

As if embracing the world, Apollo made such a declaration, and then Apollo took out his weapon.

It was a longbow, and it was also a good partner who accompanied Apollo in his expeditions.

As we all know, in Greek mythology, in addition to being the god of light, Apollo is also the god of bow and arrow.

His arrow skills are very superb, even the goddess of hunting is better than him.

At this time, Apollo held the longbow tightly in his hand, and put an arrow in his other hand, and a pure golden arrow was condensed during the class.

The blazing power of the sun and sky is gathered in it, so that the surrounding space is distorted and deformed.

And the next moment, with a "whoosh", the arrow cut through the space and broke the rules made by Hermes.

When the golden sun and sky fire came into contact with the void, a large spark was created, and then it didn't dare to fly towards Hermes.

"Is this your choice?"

Muttering to himself, Hermes faced the arrow that contained the power of destruction with neither joy nor sorrow, as if he had completely discarded all his emotions.

At this moment, he is the embodiment of reason, and this attitude also determines his next behavior.
