Chapter 102: Forbidden names in Greek myths

The translucent mask, the dark cloak… Could it be the person the Lord of Stars encountered in the stars??Apollo murmured inwardly.

He had been very attentive to this mysterious figure mentioned by Astraeus, but even after many probes by the ‘omniscience’ authority, he found that the other party had a connection, if any, with the great prophet bound on Mount Caucasus.

He originally wanted to go to Caucasus mountain to meet this fire thief when he got out of the underworld.

But he didn’t expect to hear about the other party in underworld.

This sounds like a man with a wicked sense of humor who likes to direct ‘stories’. Apollo mentally judged.

Seeing him in deep thought, Hecate blinked and asked: “You know that magician?”

“Even you, the Queen of Magic, don’t know him, so how would I know him.” Apollo laughed lightly, and the ‘all-seeing eye’ swept silently toward the young female dead soul in front of him.

In a flash, time was rewound under his eyes.

Apollo saw the girl when she was alive, first a very ordinary face, and then suddenly a beautiful and extraordinary face.

He saw her beaten out of her home by her parents and wandering the streets in uncertainty.

He saw her being chased by some vicious robbers and walking to a cliff.

He saw her fall from the cliff, her legs broken, crying in despair at the bottom of the gloomy cliff, slowly dying of thirst and hunger.

He even saw her tender appearance as a newborn, her warm expression as she was cared for by her mother in childhood, and her shy reserve as a teenager being courted by the boy next door. Her whole life was visible to his eyes.

The only thing missing were two key points.

One was the sudden change from ordinary appearance to beautiful appearance. The river of time shows her just wandering on the street and then slowly changing her face without warning.

The other was when she died, one second, she was struggling in despair, and the next second she swallowed her breath with anger and regretted in her eyes.

Both of these periods seemed to be artificially distorted and did not exist over time.

But it was not a simple deletion or modification, it was similar to time and history being deceived and fooled, and that time was automatically forgotten.

“The Lord of Stars said he can lower one’s thoughts and intelligence. Could this not only work on living beings but also on anything, including the most fundamental rules of the world and even history and time?”

Apollo gazed silently.

Seeing Apollo gazing at her for a long time, the young female soul prayed in fear: “Great God of light, it is so good to meet you here. I really died in vain. Please give me another chance to be born again …”

Hecate interrupted her: “People cannot come back to life after death, not to mention that you died because of a special accident, but in the end, it was your inner greed that caused it.”

The dead girl bowed her head in grief, her eyes full of remorse and regret.

At this time, a brilliant light shone above her head and Apollo’s gentle voice into her ears: “The light is willing to give every lost traveler a chance to go back to the right path. Since you know remorse, then I can give you another chance.”

Suddenly, a golden book appeared in his hand.

“The repentant believer before my eyes, the maiden who encountered the mystery and died, and the light guides her from the kingdom of death and regains the light of life.”

The sacred whispers echoed on the river Styx, and the golden booklet burst into light, enveloping the dead girl’s soul.

The gentle warmth sprinkled all over the maiden’s soul, and she gradually floated up and flew to the outside world.

She grew her mouth and gazed with reverent eyes at the golden figure in the light, wanting to recite a prayer, but replaceing it was too late, she had to tap her right fist on her brow, “Great God of light, praise be to you…”

Boom!

The next moment, she completely disappeared into the underworld.

“You actually helped her resurrect. I don’t remember you being such a kind God.” Hecate unexpectedly looked at Apollo, who was holding the golden book of light in his hand and was sacred and solemn.

The latter smiled gently and whispered: “If you were that magician and found yourself directing a story in which a character that should have died suddenly came back to life, would you come over to see?”

“You are trying to draw out the wizard?” Hecate understood, “But where in the world is this being that even you need to use a ruse to replace it?”

“The mysteries of this world can be far beyond your imagination.” Chiron, who had been silent, suddenly uttered a hoarse voice.

His old eyes gazed at the golden book of light held by Apollo and sighed softly: “What a powerful artifact, no less than the Earth Mother’s vial of life and Mother’s black dress of Eternal Night.”

Apollo smiled lightly, put away the golden book of light, and asked: “I heard that you have been ferrying in the river Styx since the time of the first divine court. The real-time of birth should still be before the first divine court was built, right?”

“Do you want to ask about the obscure era before the first divine court?” Chiron knew what he was thinking.

Apollo does not mince his words: “The first court, the second court, and even the present age are all traceable to history, but before that, the age of ignorance seems to be a blank, only that the union of the first God-King Uranus and the Earth Mother has brought an end to ignorance and opened up a new era.”

“The age of obscurity is a history that should not be mentioned.” Chiron eyes cloudy, hoarsely whispered.

Hecate was also curious: “I also once asked the goddess Nyx about the age of obscurity. Her eyes were also very complicated unwilling to tell me the specific situation.”

“What exactly happened in that era? Besides the five Main Gods and the first King of God’s brothers, are there any other powerful gods?” Hecate’s eyes were full of desire to know.

Chiron smiled: “Do not ask so many questions. I was born at the end of the age of obscurity. I do not know much. But I think you have also found that the so-called five Main Gods are the summation of later people. Now there are really only these five.”

Apollo and Hecate both understood what he meant.

At this time, Apollo suddenly said: “As far as I know, the first King of Gods Uranus should have been born at the beginning and middle of the ignorant age. As the earliest child of the God of darkness and the Goddess of Night, why were you born at the end of the ignorant age?”

The face of Chiron suddenly changed, and he violently rowed the boat back to the opposite shore.

“The girl was sent away by you. I want to pick up another one. You should just fly over there.”

The change in his attitude made Hecate more and more curious, breaking his fingers and saying, “The God of darkness and the Goddess of Night are both born of Chaos, to say the origin of sky, sea, and mountains are a generation from the Earth Mother, their children were born at the end of the age of obscurity, there was nothing, but this reaction of Chiron makes me think there is a story.”

Chiron ignored her and paddled on his own.

Hecate had to restrain her curiosity and look at Apollo beside her.

At this moment, Apollo suddenly gave a light laugh and said to Chiron: “The reason I asked that question just now is that I found a question in an ancient book that records the genealogy of the gods.”

“The goddess Nyx has many children, including those born with the God of darkness and those conceived by her. You are her firstborn with the God of darkness, but not her firstborn.”

“That genealogy is in order of birth, and before you, there is another name that should be the firstborn of the goddess Nyx but which has been erased as blank by some power.”

Apollo’s calm words thundered in the ears of Chiron.

This old boatman abruptly dropped the oar in his hand.

His cloudy eyes stared deadly at the golden figure, and he said hoarsely in his throat: “Why, in this day and age, is his existence still mentioned?”

“He?” Apollo noticed the choice of words by Chiron.

[A/N: In Chinese, it is pronounced the same as him, but in Greek, it is pronounced in two different ways.

He is divine, and he is personified.

Because the humanity of the gods is so obvious, both each other and mortals generally refer to the gods in the third person in all genders.

Rarely is the word divinized used to refer to them.

Unless it is some indistinguishable god of gender or some extremely great existence.

For example, Coos, the God of Chaos, is referred to as ‘he’ in most cases.

Cronus used ‘He’ to refer to the Eldest Son of Nyx, whose name was erased; what kind of situation?]

Both Hecate and Apollo had serious expressions.

“Do not ask again; that is a taboo, should no longer be mentioned the name, when he reappears, is the day of the god’s disaster.”

Chiron shook his head as if drained of strength, sitting on the bow of ship with the most gloomy and fearful eyes staring at the dark sky as if recalling some terrible nightmare.

He said in an exhorting tone.

“Young God, never mentions him again. You can’t understand and imagine how horrible it is.”

“The gods are still in his shadow, and he never leaves.”
