Chapter 49 Is there something wrong with this world?
Epimetheus had nothing to say.

He felt that there was no point in arguing with someone who was unwilling to admit it.

Because the two of them are no longer simply arguing about right and wrong at this time, but simply want to prove that they are right.

So taking a step back is a good choice.

He and Hephaestus have this tacit understanding.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the purpose of Hephaestus' trip. This person who always smiles and doesn't seem to value anything seriously rarely travels far for one thing.

Unless, this matter is really important.

Avoiding time-wasting arguments, Epimetheus said bluntly: "That's good, the place of creation is settled."

"Tell me about you, what can I do for you?"

"You seldom leave Lemnos Island. You would rather sleep than walk too much on the ground."

Talking about the urgent matter of the moment, Hephaestus became serious.

He showed his true form of being a god, and his tyrannical and introverted divine power was like a sharp blade out of its sheath, sealing himself and Epimetheus inside, cutting off all the sight of the outside world.

Although Hephaestus was covered in flames and dense mist, and his golden eyes showed the majesty of a god, Epimetheus still saw his weakness.

He swallowed, a little unbelievable: "Are you injured?"

"Who is it? Who can hurt you!"

"Hades is already asleep, the one in the underworld is just a counterfeit."

"I've been watching the others as well."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Hephaestus took a deep breath, showing his true nature, and he felt much more relaxed.

He said to Epimetheus: "There is nothing impossible."

"You are not omniscient, there will always be someone who can find a way to bypass your sight."

Epimetheus calmed down after hearing this, but unknowingly pinched his fingers together: "So, who is it?"

Hephaestus: "It's Nix, no, she should be called Hermamene, the goddess of karma and fate."

"A monster who doesn't know how many worlds he has experienced."

"She is Nix, the goddess of the night that was destroyed a long time ago. She managed to live in our world by sacrificing creatures and the world itself."

"The original Knicks have been replaced by her."

"I found out her background, and because I didn't want to reveal it, I forcibly received her a hard blow."

"That's why I came to you. She used to be supreme. Although she was hurt by the years, she still has the power of a great god. I'm afraid I can't handle her alone."

The eyes of Epimetheus burst out with divine light, and a tall phantom vaguely overlapped with his body, which was his form of a god.

The phantom is sometimes clear and sometimes illusory, showing that his mood is not as calm as it seems.

"It's really hard for you alone," he said.

Epimetheus began to walk about, thinking as he went, and within a short time his thoughts were clear.

He asked Hephaestus: "Does the Knicks exhibit any characteristics? What is different from what I know now?"

"How did she escape the harvest and come to our world?"

Hephaestus told Epimetheus as succinctly as possible: "She is exactly like the Evernight you remember, only more powerful."

"Moreover, she traveled through the years, not only did she not lose her identity as the root of the night, but she also gained an additional authority related to fate."

"As for the method of escaping the harvest, I saw through authority that she was holding a strange flower called the Misty Immortal Flower."

"The petals are entangled with the power of the dream that was forcibly taken."

"She achieved her goal by sacrificing the world and all the creatures in the world to the Misty Immortal Flower."

"However, I'm not sure how it's done."

"Perhaps, it has something to do with the power of fate that she controls."

Epimetheus mused.

Hephaestus couldn't help asking him, "Do you have a clue?"

Epimetheus nodded: "Some guesses."

"She may not be as powerful as you think."

"That flower is the key."

Hephaestus was refreshed, and he quickly asked Epimetheus, "What's the point?"

Epimetheus answered him: "I knew it when you mentioned that she held powers related to fate."

"Because the person at the end of time is also in charge of authority related to fate."

"It is almost impossible to use fate to escape her."

"I even have reason to suspect that the so-called Misty Immortal Flower is just a joke."

"It might indeed take the Knicks across time to our nascent world."

"But it is more likely that the person at the end of time deliberately let Nix go, so as to speed up the progress of his own harvest."

"The misty eternal flower of unknown origin is the addictive poison she threw out."

Epimetheus fell silent after he finished speaking.

The two looked at each other.

The sealed space fell into a deathly silence.

A tacit understanding was formed in silence.

Hephaestus was the first to speak: "This kind of unstable person, it is better to die. First destroy the flower, and then kill her."

Epimetheus: "It is very likely that she needs to seize the power of Hypnos, control him to test, and find out the situation first. Hades is already asleep, and no one in the underworld can stop us."

Hephaestus: "Keep a low profile, don't let someone jump out and make it difficult for us."

Epimetheus: "Be quick. When you went to Chaos, she gave birth to a large number of new gods by herself. She should be preparing for something. Find someone and kill those new gods."

Hephaestus: "These new gods are very active, we are not easy to end, who is more suitable to find?"

The two looked at the ground almost at the same time.

Where the eyes fell, there was a half-man, half-horse weak god who was trampled on the soles of his feet and insulted. In his deliberately lowered eyes, he revealed bitterness and hidden deep hatred.

Coincidentally, the one who bullied him was a recently born and active goddess...

……

In the chaos, inside the night like a curtain.

Nix, no, it's Hermamene.She stood in the temple and looked at the earth, her face pale and uncertain.

Her eyes frantically scanned every god and creature she saw, as if she wanted to find someone.

Since she gave birth to a god representing the dark side of human beings, she began to compete with Zeus for faith in an open manner, and her power and majesty have become closer to the past.

But as the power gradually returns, doubts and fears also follow.

There is something wrong with this world!
Destiny was rewritten a long time ago!Hades' promotion to greatness disturbs the current destiny, which is only the second change in the destiny of this world!

"Who the hell is it, how could I not notice it?"

The fear of the unknown is so terrible that Hermamene desperately seeks out where the subtle changes in fate lie.

She wanted to prove that she was just thinking wildly, and wanted to prove that... she was the first Supreme in the true sense.

She began to comfort herself: "This should be the difference between the world and the world, and some subtle differences are inevitable."

But when she saw Prometheus on the Caucasus Mountain and Aglaia who was playing around with her two younger sisters in the world, she was stunned.

She can no longer lie to herself.

She is the god who is in charge of the authority of fate, and she clearly knows that in the original fate, Prometheus is the elder brother of Epimetheus, and Aglaia is the youngest of the three goddesses.

In the temple, Hermamene was talking to herself absently, her hoarse and weak voice was barely audible.

"How could this be, I'm the one... who should be in control of everything..."

　Fluttering Street Diary: On the road to repair, I was taken for a group photo by three 50-year-old aunts. I couldn’t help crying because I was so ugly. I even forgot to wear sunglasses at the time.Decided, take a day off tomorrow and eat a good meal to comfort yourself.
