Chapter 121 The Fall of the Stars
Chiron's trip was to kill.

That's why he brought Dominic back in a hurry, and chose to leave in a rainy night.

About one month ago, an oracle suddenly came out from the temple of Zeus, the god-king who occupies the most faith in the world.He brought an incredible piece of good news to the world—anyone who is illuminated by the stars falling from the sky can become his god.

What exciting news this is.

Wherever this oracle has been handed down, people dance uncontrollably.They lit a bonfire, sat around the bonfire and imagined their future.

Ordinary people look forward to being illuminated by the starlight from the sky. Whenever the meteor goddess Asteria crosses the sky, they will stop and greet her with expectant eyes.

There has never been such a moment in the world where the wills of mortals are so highly unified.

Their spirits are tense, with expectations for an infinitely bright future.Because the situation is uncertain, everything is possible, today's mortals, tomorrow's gods, so who is more noble than whom?

Logically speaking, this is a good thing, and it is in line with Chiron's expectations.

He wanted to narrow the gap between gods and mortals, to narrow the gap between gods and gods.Because he himself has experienced suffering and understands how sad the weak are, he instinctively wants to protect the weak side and break the inequalities in power and dignity in the world of gods for countless years.

Also because of understanding and sympathy, he also wanted to shorten the distance between the gods and the mortal world. For this reason, he accepted mortals as disciples, and became their teachers to teach them.Instead of using mortals as tools to enjoy the short-term happiness of spirit and body like other deities who indulge in sensuality.

They even leave heirs in the world, and they think that the other half is not equal to themselves, and the heirs they give birth have little relationship with themselves, and they can be discarded in the world at will.

What is surprising is that when they return to the world of gods, they may not be alone, they may have their other half, their own lives and children.

How strange.In the same world, not only are two worlds artificially divided, but the same person or god in the two worlds behaves completely differently.There seems to be a magical power in the world that even the gods cannot resist. The desires of the gods who come here are magnified. They indulge their thoughts, liberate their nature, and let their instincts drive them—like ignorant beasts, maybe not as good.

And the heavens are in order, as if only by returning here, the gods are themselves and can live their own lives.

And between the world of gods and the world of mortals, there seems to be an invisible film separating the two worlds.

Therefore, what is in the heavenly realm belongs to the heavenly realm, and what is in the human world belongs to the human world.How can the offspring born on earth be traced back to heaven?
Chiron could not understand their thoughts.He was fed up with indulgence, enough of the suffering caused by indulgence—it was no fun for a baby to be doomed to a life of misery from birth!

And an order that takes indulgence for granted and becomes the norm must also be pathological.

Such an order, its rule is also destined to be pathological.

But... you live in this order, if everyone around you thinks it is right and you think it is wrong, then... what are you?
Chiron thinks it doesn't matter what it is.

If it is order, it will decay, and if it decays, it will be fine to establish a new order.As a pioneer in establishing a new order, he only needs to focus on three things - hide in the dark, bring blood, and ignite the fire.

While the idea of ​​mortals becoming gods is beautiful, it's what Chiron wants to see.

but……

If this is true...

Chiron got some news——Asteraius, the god of stars, frequently left Mount Olympus and walked to the world.In just over a month, several countries have changed their kings. Without exception, their kings have all been replaced by so-called heroes of human-god hybrid.

Chiron spent more than half a month going around to verify the authenticity of these news.

Unfortunately, it's all true.

So he was unlikely to allow the carnival to end on a happy note.

It is already very difficult to subvert the order with a different identity. Now that the order has to expand its team, isn't it even more difficult?

Chiron is good at finding the key points of contradictions.He immediately locked on the key person - Astrios, the God of Stars.

He judged that the starlight falling into the mortal world is a very important thing, what is needed and even the most important thing in this carnival, and the starlight comes from Astrios, the god of stars. He must be the source of contradictions or an important node .

Killing him may not be able to stop it, and it will definitely delay a lot of time.

And now, what Chiron needs most is time.

Astraeus, the god of stars, likes to wander around Mount Olympus, surrounded by the god king Zeus.

If it was normal, it would not be easy to kill him.

But now, it's easy.

The number of times he traveled between the Olympus and the human world was too frequent and too many.

Chiron is ready to go, and he is going to squat near the sacred mountain of Olympus to guard him.

This time he will be very close, and his bold behavior will definitely anger Zeus, the king of gods, so it will be very dangerous.

He originally wanted to go straight, but suddenly remembered what his disciple Kata said to him before he left: "I checked the weather yesterday, and there has been a strong wind recently..."

"Big wind..." Chiron chewed the word, seeming to taste something unusual.

By coincidence, he lit a fire in the deserted wilderness.Keeping his agreement with the fire god, he threw all kinds of unique mortal objects collected since March into the fire.

For these harsh items, he spent a lot of thought.Change into a mortal appearance and go around to inquire about the death of mortals wherever you go, to see if they died peacefully.In order to verify the authenticity, he even went to the underworld, so the already small number of objects became even rarer.

The fire burned extremely fast, because this was not a normal use.This is a transaction, but also a sacrifice.

Chiron rummages through the ashes and finds a ring.

He held the ring in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"fortune?"

"authority!"

How generous, Chiron couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He thought about it, finally put the ring on the rough index finger knuckle, and took some time to get used to the feeling of real authority.

After finishing all this, he secretly approached the sacred mountain of Olympus in the center of the earth, and hid in a cave in the nearby mountains along the underground river.

Here he put his bow and arrow, held his breath, and waited quietly.

He has done all this with ease, after all, this is not the first time.He is familiar with the process, knows how to find and create caves with excellent views suitable for ambush, and how to escape from the scene. He has a plan for these.

When Astrios, the god of the stars, left Mount Olympus in the starry night, Chiron, who had been waiting since daylight, shot his arrow.

The iron arrows from the mortal world linger around the dying breath of the kingdom of death, and it sinks into his chest in the desperate resistance of the god in charge of the stars.

At the same time, a piercing thunder tore through the night and bombarded the hill shot by the arrow...
