Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 904 - 366: Magnetic Stone_2
Chapter 904 -366: Magnetic Stone_2
Erebus was like this, and naturally, so were the other existences in this world.
But just today, it seems that something has changed.
Perhaps it was the disturbance of a once familiar aura, or maybe it was the outburst of the Sea God as he faced a desperate situation, or perhaps it was some other reason.
In any event, on this day, a tiny crack finally appeared in the tight temporal and spatial barrier at the periphery of this realm.
It might still be insufficient for the true Deities to pass through, but for some other mortal beings, this place had changed and was no longer an inaccessible forbidden zone.
“…”
Rip——
At one moment, in the center of the ruins that have been silent for ten thousand years, the world finally welcomed its first change.
The Void trembled slightly, and then it was torn open with a rift by someone.
It started as a small gap, then grew larger and more obvious.
Until at one point, it turned into an elliptical hole two people tall, emitting a faint blue Twilight.
Time and space, rippling like water, filled the inside, and soon, followed by a burst of intense light, it seemed as if something had traveled through it.
The hole disappeared immediately, and the phenomenon returned to nothingness.
What remained in place was only the young Prince, and the Divine Artifact which had clearly dimmed by more than a fraction.
Plop——
Thump——
“Ha…huff…ha…”
“Haah…”
Kneeling on the ground, the Prince was panting heavily.
As if drenched in water, Antilokos was soaked in sweat.
With a pale and bloodless complexion, the Prince seemed as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Of course, in reality, that was indeed the case.
The Trident of the Sea Emperor hadn’t deceived him; the coordinates it obtained from Poseidon were indeed accurate. By leveraging these space-time coordinates, they accomplished what the vast majority of Deities couldn’t, traveling between realms of space.
And from the results, they had indeed successfully arrived here.
Even though he still didn’t know where this place exactly was, Antilokos could be certain that this was definitely not the familiar sea he knew.
It was not just the environmental issues, but more so because as a warrior who had barely stepped into the Legendary domain by relying on the strength of Divine Blood, he could roughly sense the laws so distinct from the Material Realm.
Here, all things seemed lifeless, devoid of any hint of vitality or vigor.
However, before all that, the Prince needed to recover some of his strength. Because, arrival counted for little if both he and the Trident ignored a significant issue.
That is, the act of crossing through time and space was truly not something just anyone could do.
Poseidon left no warnings when he discovered this place because he was a God, and he didn’t see any issue with it; the Trident of the Sea Emperor had no objections, as it was a Divine Artifact, naturally unconcerned by the pressure of time and space.
As for Antilokos… he wouldn’t have prepared in advance for something he had never done before.
So, when he truly began this inter-realm journey, the Prince almost didn’t make it here alive.
“…Poseidon’s descendant, this was my oversight, are you alright?”
Divine Light flickered, and a wave of thoughts emerged from the Trident of the Sea Emperor.
It wasn’t intentional; it simply hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events. After all, in its view, this was never a problem worth worrying about.
“Huff…heh…”
“…It’s okay, I’m still here… Regardless, we made it inside, didn’t we.”
“So this place… is it capable of evading the Sea God, or even of hiding from the Divine King’s search?”
Taking several deep breaths, the injuries on his body gradually subsided, soothed by the rolling Divine Blood coursing through him.
The Prince stood up from the ground, surveying his surroundings.
This was a city, or at least it used to be.
It had been destroyed, leaving only fragments behind.
Even so, as Antilokos beheld the ruins, a flicker of amazement still flashed in his eyes.
The uniformly structured building materials, the colorful decorations, and the various architectural styles.
Although indescribable, the prince could still perceive a sense of exotic beauty from them.
But what truly captured his attention was the fragmented crystal lattices and the patterns on the surfaces of the debris.
At a glance, Antilokos felt a sense of familiarity.
“Silver Moon City… No, their style is vastly different from that of Silver Moon City.”
“These are surely not the products of the same type, but rather they operate independently, yet the end result seems to converge on a similar path.”
“My lord, these things were not made casually, they must have their own knowledge, their own system, countless scholars, and powerful entities behind them.”
“This is exactly the direction I want to take—but even such a civilization could not escape annihilation, could it?”
With his emotions stirred, the prince unconsciously took a few steps forward, caressing the several layers of patterns on a fallen column.
At first glance, they seemed like mere decorative patterns.
But to Antilokos, who had seen Alchemy Runes with his own eyes, could still distinguish the significant differences between the two.
Runes or patterns, they are both imitations at the time of their creation, simplifying certain aspects of the Law, ultimately applied to one’s creations.
And undoubtedly, the patterns before Antilokos now possessed extraordinary strength.
Even with adequate energy supply, they might still operate now; time clearly had not eroded their existence.
Such exquisite skill… yet even such things are only used for construction, the extravagance and grandeur here are truly astounding.
“No, this might not be valuable to them.”
Shaking his head lightly, the prince tried to shift his mindset.
This is not a problem because it was probably the same for Silver Moon City.
For them, alchemical products may have already integrated into every corner of life.
They might use alchemy and rune artifacts just as Humans use iron pots and kitchen utensils, already becoming a part of life.
Without further thought, his fingers traced to the apex of the debris, where Antilokos discovered a special stone.
It was located at a node where many patterns converged, and it seemed to be absorbing some kind of energy from the outside world.
It seems that this space no longer contained what it needed, so no matter how much it tried to absorb, it was all in vain.
“A thousand years, two thousand years, or has even more time passed?”
“It’s unbelievable, such miraculous artifacts… I wonder if there are still any living people here?”
“If not, then so be it, but if there are, I must ask them about the correct way to power this stone, and what this building was originally used for when it was intact.”
“What I’ve always wanted is these: knowledge, civilization, and everything that is equivalent to them.”
His tone filled with admiration, the prince made no attempt to hide his thoughts.
And to this, the Divine Artifact said nothing.
It didn’t quite understand this behavior and didn’t think there was anything remarkable about mortal creations.

No matter how mighty mortal objects are, they are useless before Divine Power.
But since he is interested, let him look; after all, humans can offer Faith, and thus what they are interested in also has value.
“Let’s continue walking deeper; just now I tried to sense this place.”
“If this is a city, then where we are should still only be its outermost part.”
“So if there are still living beings here, they are most likely over there.”
“I understand.”
With a slight nod, Antilokos put down what was in his hand.
The energy that should be present was all around him.
For the moment, the prince didn’t think he could discover any answers.
So, just as the Divine Artifact said, he would walk further inside.
After all, if he wanted to survive here in the future, understanding the environment and dangers was also an essential preparation.
