Chapter 164 The Prejudice of the Ocean

Hephaestus easily suppressed Nix, the goddess of the night.The night sky pillar dotted with stars was covered and pressed into the sea abyss.

The sea abyss is surrounded by whirlpools, like a storm rising on the bottom of the sea.

And Hephaestus' palm is still falling, and the giant flame hand on the vortex cavity is still falling, trying to push the Evernight Goddess back to the bottom of the abyss.

The action of pressing the palm down was very easy for Hephaestus, but it was not easy for him.

This simple and unpretentious palm consumed more than half of the collections in his treasury, as well as the history of those ancient worlds, all of which were thrown into the fire as fuelwood.

Everything has a price, and gods are no exception.

It was also at a huge price that Hephaestus was able to be so plain and plain without any suspense when he suppressed this palm.

Also at this time, Lemnos.

In the temple on the island, the goddess who weaves fate is drinking.Drink alone, but have two wine glasses.One goblet is full of wine, and one goblet is in the hands of the goddess, with more than half of the wine in the goblet.

She was waiting for someone to come back to drink, so she drank slowly.

Perhaps because of drinking, her beautiful eyes were blurred and hazy, and she could vaguely see a world of flames.

There is a silhouette of a woman in the flame world, she is in the corner of the flame world, walking towards the middle of the flame world.But it seems that there is an invisible force blocking her, and she can't achieve her goal every time, so she can only go back to the original point and try again.

Clotho was awakened by the sound of the pages being turned.

She went to look, and saw the time history book spontaneously floating in the corner of the temple.The yellowed pages were flipping, and with each flip, some of the records about past history disappeared.

Those lost histories are the histories of the ancient world.

Clotho remembered.Hephaestus told her that only the history of this world is the current history and the real history, and this part of history cannot be used until the moment when a trade-off must be made.

A radiant lamp appeared in her hand, and she approached the history book in the corner of the temple with the lamp.

The clear light of the lantern spread in the temple, reflecting Clotho's shadow on the stone wall of the temple.

The shadow moved by itself, leaving the stone wall.Its twisted and fuzzy black palms passed through the lampshade of the lantern, groping as if to fetch something.

When the shadow's distorted and fuzzy palm reached back, the radiance spreading in the temple disappeared.All the rays of light are condensed and become a cluster of small flames in the shadow's hands.

The shadow holds the flame and walks towards the history book with yellowed pages. The flame is weeping, dripping drop after drop of "lamp oil" towards the history book below.These "lamp oils" are all history, the history of the ancient world in ancient times.

The pages of the history book finally stopped turning.It seemed to be full, and it closed the cover and disappeared into a corner of the temple.

The light was also put back into the lantern by the shadow, and the clear light filled the temple again.Then the shadow walked back to the stone wall and became a shadow again, and the goddess who weaved fate returned to her stone platform to continue drinking.

Above the sea, Hephaestus sensed it.He has more power.

These extra powers are probably useless, the Evernight Goddess has already been suppressed by him.

But it doesn't have to be completely useless.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the original sea god—Pontos, who was groping quietly in the whirlpool and abyss. What is he going to do?
Hephaestus can roughly understand the secret movements of the god Uranus.Since he said that he "liked" Pontus, Hephaestus naturally believed him.That blow not only almost freed the Evernight Goddess who was imprisoned by Hephaestus, but more importantly, it reminded Pontos - pay attention to your roots, your things are lost!

If he was deceived before, then now, no matter how slow Pontos is, he should realize that his own sea has disappeared.

But why did he come and go in this direction?Shouldn't he go fight Gaia desperately?
Or—he didn't believe it...

Yes, Pontus did not trust his brother Ouranos.

He and Uranus are both Gaia's creations, but Uranus seems to be born with more expectations from Gaia.This should not be, because there are comparisons between creations.

Pontos is not one to admit defeat.

Whatever Uranus has done, he wants to do.Including false names like Gaia's husband.

Among the things Uranus has done over the years, he thinks that there are only two things that he has not yet done-becoming a great person later.Become a god king.

Now he's close to doing it, because Gaia has promised him - not so long ago.

He has gradually lost the authority of the ocean, and he has noticed it since the moment the Evernight Goddess was revealed.All that authority and power that he disappeared was present in Gaia.

Unfortunately, this is just a clumsy provocation...

You know, from ancient times to the present, he has always stood on the side of Gaia, opposing his competitor Uranus.To say who would steal his power quietly, only Uranus, the pioneer of the secret path, was targeted by him and resented.

Pontos saw the situation with ease.It was also easy to find the way to break the game.

He wants to free Everest, even if it offends Hephaestus, the god of fire.Because Evernight is an ancient god, and Gaia is also an ancient god, Gaia doesn't like latecomers, and Evernight is not a latecomer.

More importantly, their enemies may be the same...

Two against two, ancient gods against latecomers.He became an outsider and a man of standing.

The roots of the sea floor are released, and Nyx, the goddess of the night, is no longer repelled by the sea bottom.For Pontos opened a back door for her in the ocean.

She got into the sea sand, avoided Hephaestus' suppression, changed the direction and rushed out of the ocean to return to the long-lost sky.

The chaotic battle in the distance, the moment Nix, the goddess of the night, was released, Gaia and Uranus immediately ended the chaotic war and both separated.

Pontos, who was hiding, also walked into Gaia's eyes, arrogantly staring at Uranus and Hephaestus.

He didn't say anything, because the emotion of arrogance didn't need to be said, it could be seen.

Uranus sighed, he was not close to Hephaestus, and he was some distance away from everyone present.

But Hephaestus knew that he was saying to himself: "I wanted to save him, but in the end I found that no matter what I did, I couldn't change the prejudice in his heart."

"It's only now that I know that the power of prejudice can be so terrifying. It's so terrifying that even if the truth is in front of you, you don't want to believe it, and you won't admit it when it becomes a fact."

Hephaestus didn't answer, because Uranus is far away from him, so... it has nothing to do with me.

He held up his hands, stepped back a little bit, and left.

The two women present were laughing.The difference is that Nix, the goddess of the night, smiled gratefully. She smiled at Pontos and said, "Thank you, I will definitely repay you next time we meet."

"If... there is a next time."

Gaia was also laughing, but she was smiling at Uranus.Pontus was still pondering what the Evernight goddess meant, Gaia took a breath right behind him.His body turned into sea sand and entered the belly of the goddess.

The goddess licked her lips: "It's not yet ripe, but I've eaten it."

Uranus was noncommittal.

He raised his hands high, and imitated the other male god who had left before, retreating a little bit, backing away...
