Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 1018 - 428: Filling the Gap
Chapter 1018: Chapter 428: Filling the Gap
Whoosh…
“…”
Small ripples appeared on the Thunder Sea, seemingly inconsequential waves lapping against the surface, yet they caused wrinkles to spread across the surrounding void.
All was silent on the way to the center of this vast Thunder Sea, but the assertive voice of the Demon Prince seemed to linger in Zeus’s ears.
Win-win… such a refined phrase.
Although it was the first time he had heard it, the Divine King could discern the underlying intention to appear cooperative and mutually beneficial, while actually aiming to achieve one’s core objective.
However, when this phrase fell from the lips of the Abyssal Demon Lord, it instantly lost its original meaning, transforming into unabashed greed and aggressiveness.
What does it mean for you to always win, calling that multi-win… Ha, why not gorge yourself to death.
Mentally scoffing at the Demon God’s arrogance, Zeus felt slightly relieved after learning the other party’s harsh conditions.
Repairing the Thunder Pool was indeed difficult, but he feared nothing from those who made demands. For the Divine King, it was only the pure maniacs that he found most abhorrent.
Compared to that, beings like the Demon Prince were much easier to handle.
“…How is it, God of the Mortal Realm, have you figured anything out?”
“As the Thunder God of the Mortal Realm, this should be your forte. Don’t tell me you can’t even match that Snake Demon.”
Boom boom boom—
The voice was like thunder, shaking this ‘sea’.
Carrying an awe-inspiring authority, at the edge of the Thunder Pool, a towering Titan shouted loudly.
This Demon Prince had been bringing Zeus here for a while, yet the latter had showed no sign of action, which caused some irritation in the prince’s heart.
Such a nuisance… Maybe the Snake Demon was right after all.
Just as it had suggested, what he should do was to make this Thunder God from the Mortal Realm find a way to complete his own incomplete bloodline.
Having a genuine Bloodline of a ‘King’, and then offering the secrets of this bloodline to the Abyss, he would gain favor in the will of Tartarus, becoming a true Demon Prince in both name and reality.
But the Demon God did not trust that Snake Demon and did not want anyone tampering with his own body.
If the will of the Abyss cared only for the significance behind that bloodline, then it seemed he was not the indispensable one.
So while the Demon Prince verbally agreed, he changed his mind as soon as he turned around, selling out his partner thoroughly.
Now it seems that this Thunder God from the Mortal Realm might not have the ability to repair the ‘Thunder Pool’ at all. After all, the origin of divine power in the Mortal Realm and the strength of demons are different; it seems he couldn’t easily change allegiance, even with the corresponding authority of a God.
Previously, the Demon God did not understand how difficult this ‘not easy’ truly was, but Zeus’s behavior seemed to prove that it was indeed difficult.
“…As you have observed, identifying the problem is not difficult for me.”
“But to solve it… You probably also know what the issue is.”
“Living in the Abyss for so long, you may not realize that, unlike the Abyssal Demon Gods who can directly bestow strength upon weak demons, the Deities of the Mortal Realm cannot arbitrarily control the allegiance of their own Godhood’s origin.”
“So, even if I am willing to pay the price, there is no guarantee that it can be done.”
Standing in the center of the Thunder Pool within a massive vortex, the Divine King incarnate, faced with the Demon Prince’s urging, appeared troubled on the surface but was undisturbed in his heart.
As he had said, the issue with the Thunder Pool was not complicated.
Having seen this vortex with his own eyes, Zeus knew the situation in his heart.
Its power was strong, but it was Rootless Water; its foundation was completely the Power of the Abyss, with virtually no Thunder Origin present, and it was composed mostly of fragments from the Alien Realm that had yet to be fully assimilated.
Thus, at this moment, the vortex represented the external manifestation of the Thunder Pool’s strength, and the unique rules of the [862-11] interface, different from other realms of the Abyss, caused its power to be consumed at all times.
However, the Divine Power of a Deity could be replenished as long as their Godhood remained.

But for a Thunder Pool without the corresponding Origin to support it, its power is like the seas here—seemingly vast and endless, but if the vortex keeps draining away, it will eventually run dry one day.
Therefore, solving the Thunder Pool’s problem is both simple and difficult.
The simplicity lies in the fact that if someone were to inject enough Thunder Origin to mix with the Abyssal forces within it, it would then attempt to complete itself; the difficulty, however, is that Zeus, as the Sovereign of the Gods in the present world, cannot easily tear apart his own Godhood, and even if he could, he would not lead the way in handing the Origin Power of the material world over to the Abyss.
Meeting the Mother of Demons might at best gain him an ally, but to lead the way in betraying the present world is to undermine his own authority.
Under normal circumstances, this would be a condition that he would never agree to.
Only now, for Zeus at this moment, he does have a second solution… but the crux of the problem lies in whether that Snake Demon has already monitored him so closely that it knows the details of his experiences in that memory world?
“Your Excellency.”
Feeling a chill in his heart, Zeus showed no sign of it outwardly.
He shook his head reluctantly and turned to look toward the Titan on the horizon.
“The affairs of the True God of the Present World’s Godhood’s origin aren’t a secret. If Your Excellency has any interest, you could probably learn about these things from the Abyss believers in the Mortal Realm, or even from the Deities who have had covert interactions with you…”
