Chapter 81 The Lantern Carrier and the Night
Beyond the chaos, Hephaestus, who had left the dim and broken world, was strolling leisurely.

He held the streamer lamp in his hand, but he didn't activate this artifact that had been widely spread among the gods.

Therefore, the distant chaos as far as the eye can see is misty and dark.

Only within a few feet of Hephaestus, the wick of the streamer lamp made of mixed water from the Styx River emitted a natural and clear light, barely illuminating the way ahead.

As the lantern bearer, Hephaestus seems to be walking very slowly in the chaos, but he has already passed an unknown number of worlds by his side.

As Hephaestus passed them, the corners of those worlds flashed before him in a small area illuminated by the streamer lights.

At this moment, he is like an ancient and mysterious grave keeper.He patrols the cemetery at night, inspecting the tombstones that represent the past.

"Good luck."

This is the truest thought of Hephaestus at the moment.

Although the harvest without paying is not necessarily good, it must be gratifying enough and avoid a lot of trouble.

In that dim and broken world, when Cronus talked with Uriah, Hephaestus had actually arrived.

He followed behind Uriah on the return journey, using the history books to hide the flame crow and the streamer in the past of that dim and broken world.If it wasn't for Cronus' mighty power to go back in time, the power of light in that world could no longer be overwhelmed, and the broken world that suddenly lost a supporting power faced turmoil, and he could even leave quietly.

He heard it all and saw it all.

Finally figured out why Cronus' time could interfere with his history.

Perhaps this statement is not true, it should be put like this: How can Cronus "reject" him when he looks at the past through history?

Now he understands.

"History is the past time, the common past of thousands of creatures, things and even the world. The gods live in the present time and cannot interfere with the past. Even the person who is in charge of history can only consult it and cannot change it. .”

"However, this kind of power is much better than countless people who can't even look it up."

"So, I am special."

"And Kronos, who has taken a big step forward on the root path with a special process, is also special."

"He took a share of the past that was once composed of thousands of beings, things, and even the world."

"That share belongs to him. From then on, his past really only belongs to himself. Anyone who uses time-related authority to check him will face Cronus in the present time."

Thinking of Cronus, Hephaestus couldn't help but feel a headache.

It is an undeniable fact that Cronus has indeed broken through the restrictions by means of brute force, and has been able to take a big step forward on the root path.

In the two meetings with Cronus, Hephaestus was most concerned about this matter.

Regarding this point, he remembered that Kronos once said: "It is the self, I have found myself, and I have surpassed myself, so as to feed back the root and surpass the limit given to me by the root."

He also said: "I was also decadent and silent for most of my life before I surpassed the limitations given to me by my previous personality and realized "my time". This understanding of time is not given to me by the source or authority. It's my own."

For his dictation of walking on the path of roots, Hephaestus summed up a vocabulary: "creating something out of nothing."

According to the thoughts that Kronos wanted to express, he actually found his self-confidence in the failure and loneliness of the millennium, then reflected on himself, looked away from himself, changed his character, and finally, without the corresponding root and authority There is a so-called "me time" out of nothing.

The point is, this so-called "me time" is a real power that can be used...

This is as unreliable as a mortal living an ordinary life without the support of any gods, and one day he should realize some kind of authority in this ordinary life, in the normal cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death.

But Cronus, he is such an unreliable situation.

This is very mysterious.

Hephaestus couldn't understand, but was still greatly shocked...

If the root path is so difficult and there is no future in sight, then he is ready to make plans early.

Just like Cronus, try to continue on other paths.

Suddenly, just as Hephaestus was still frowning and thinking about the future, the history book hidden by his side appeared.

A rift to return to the present world was opened...

This is what Hephaestus left for his friend Clotho.

In this world, something happened...

……

at the same time.

earlier present.

At this time, belief has become the most mentioned thing, and it is also what the gods are flocking to.

As the leaders of the two factions with the most beliefs at present, Hermamene, the goddess of causal fate who replaced Nix, the goddess of night, and Zeus, who is the king of Mount Olympus, naturally became the most mentioned people.

Among them, the origin of Hermamene is only known to a very small number of people, including Erebus, the god of darkness who was her "former" husband.Her confrontation with Hephaestus and Epimetheus is even less well known.

There may be speculations, but the whole picture will never be known.

After knowing the true appearance of her "husband" Erebus, Hermamene, who understood that there was nothing she could do, sincerely integrated into the world as "wife" Nix.

However, she has never forgotten Hephaestus and Epimetheus, and her "husband" Erebus who easily settled disputes and set the rules.

None of these three people can be easily provoked.

but.

Among the three, only "husband" Erebus is the one who must never be provoked...

Being provoked and suppressed by two juniors, when did Hemamene suffer such grievances?

It's nothing more than adding another grievance to the already bad relationship in the long years...

Anyway, it's already like this...

So Hermamene begat a single offspring for this, a male god named Moros.

He is extraordinary because the starting point of his birth exceeds the end point of most gods.

But everything about him comes from his mother, Hermamene.

He rules doom, and doomed death.These powers all come from Hemamene, from the previous "world" that gave birth to Hemamene and was sacrificed by her.

Hermamene, on the other hand, had been waiting for an opportunity.A chance for Hephaestus and Epimetheus to part.

Because of the two separated, she is confident that she can hold any one of them.

The rest is up to the juniors.

She had heard that Epimetheus had but one heir.

It was a half-human, half-god girl named Pyla...
