Chapter 659: Suppressing Fate, Original Zeus
Chapter 659: Suppressing Fate, Original Zeus
"So, your server exploded again?" Hades looked at Qin Muye with some curiosity.
"Not really, this time it was a bit more extreme, so I quit my job," Qin Muye said in a very tactful manner.
"Is that even possible? I haven't heard of anyone doing that before," Hades felt that something must be hidden from him.
The entire fairy tale world was now in a bustling reform phase. Not long ago, Zeus ascended to the pinnacle of the gods, and now even Chaos, Khaos, was no match for Zeus.
At the 9th rank, Zeus's power was incredibly strong, and the curses on his body were suppressed.
Although he still went out to handle affairs every day to ensure he would never have a young son, Qin Muye saw Zeus, the King of the Gods, and Chaos Khaos intercepting him when he arrived. They had a brief exchange, and Zeus, realizing that even together they couldn't defeat Qin Muye, stopped and changed his expression to a friendly one, chatting with him as if they were relatives.
Qin Muye was utterly amazed by the change in Zeus's strength. How could he have reached the 9th rank so quickly?
Moreover, the entire Mount Olympus had been elevated, and with Zeus, the God King, rising in power, all the Titan gods had also grown stronger.
Even Hades, Poseidon, and others had seen their authority and power increase.
It seemed that the entire world was growing stronger, not just individuals.
However, Qin Muye no longer relied on the fairy tale world, so their strengthening didn't affect him. In fact, he thought it was a good thing.
But he could see that Zeus would likely not leave the world like the Gendaya civilization or the GROX Empire. The Titan gods were too dependent on the world.
This didn't include Zeus, as he had transcended the realm of authority. More simply, he granted authority power, rather than the other way around.
If Zeus wanted to recreate the world, it wouldn't be a significant problem.
Qin Muye knew that the current Zeus was approaching the original Zeus of ancient Greece. Hades, Poseidon, and other gods could no longer threaten his position.
If the curse of being killed by his youngest son were resolved, he would likely transition from polytheism to monotheism, similar to the God of Christianity.
In the Greek fairy tales of Qin Muye's previous life, there was no such transformation; they simply declined. If Zeus could successfully transition, it might prolong their survival a bit.
After all, when the Christian God came with overwhelming force, Greece might not have been able to withstand it.
"It's possible, but the process of quitting is a bit difficult," Qin Muye answered Hades's question seriously.
Qin Muye had a lot of experience in quitting "The Lord's Era," and he was likely the only one who had completed it. Other lords were still struggling at the 7th rank.
Of course, people like the True Dragon Emperor might have reached the 8th rank, but what was the point?
"Alright, but if you've quit, how did you get here? I remember you used to rely on the super-space teleportation channel, and what about your territory? It won't be reclaimed, will it?"
"Most importantly, how long do you plan to stay? Don't tell me you're planning to live off me. I'll tell you, you can't inherit my position as the Lord of the Underworld, so don't think about killing me to take over."
Hades seemed very disdainful, thinking that Qin Muye, who was so filial, would definitely try to take his position if he started living off him.
But the problem was that his position came from authority, and just kicking him out wouldn't allow anyone to inherit it.
Qin Muye was embarrassed: "Do I look like that kind of person? Besides, I don't covet your position as the Lord of the Underworld. If it were Zeus's position as the King of the Gods, I might consider it."
He was already the Will of the Abyss, with a true Endless Abyss world. How could he still be interested in such trivial matters?
"So, you're planning to take Zeus's position? I think you might not be able to defeat him. He has already broken free from the constraints of fate," Hades said with a serious tone.
"I've known about this for a while. I've fought him before, and he is indeed very strong. So, don't provoke him. It's best to close the Underworld and keep him out. Otherwise, if you get beaten, I won't be able to save you in time," Qin Muye said earnestly.
If the previous Zeus would indeed come to beat up Hades to show off his might, the current Zeus was likely busy striving to advance further.
"..." Hades was speechless, but he felt that Qin Muye's words made sense. He knew Zeus's character all too well.
In any case, it was better to be cautious. He hadn't really thought about this before.
But this could also be seen as a good thing. At least Zeus wouldn't try to kill him or Poseidon, as they posed no real threat to Zeus.
Because they were no longer on the same level, and being brothers, as long as there were no conflicts of interest, there wouldn't be much conflict between them.
"So, how long do you plan to stay?" Hades asked again.
He had noticed that although Qin Muye was powerful, the aura he emitted was actually detrimental to the Underworld and even the entire world. If he stayed too long, things could go wrong. Staying for a couple of months might be fine, but any longer, and he would have to ask Qin Muye to leave.
As the Lord of the Underworld, he had to be responsible for the entire Underworld and the world's life and death, not just for personal gain. The authority that granted him power also gave him responsibility, and he couldn't be vague about such important matters.
"About fifteen days. I mainly came to adapt to my own power. The world I was in before wasn't suitable, with too many nuisances. Unlike here, where only Zeus is a nuisance," Qin Muye estimated the time and spoke frankly.
"Alright, that seems reasonable. It's not that I want to kick you out, but you know your situation. If you stay too long, it could cause irreparable damage to our world," Hades explained. Sometimes, even if everyone knows the truth, not saying it can lead to misunderstandings.
"Development hasn't been great. You know, in the last world, I was imprisoned for twenty-two years and suppressed underground. If I hadn't been clever, I might not have come back," Qin Muye twisted the facts.
Fortunately, Hades didn't believe him for a second.
After a bit more idle chat, Hades said he was going to be busy and suggested that Qin Muye could talk to Persephone if he needed anything. If Qin Muye really had nothing to do, he could take over his sister's job for half a month.
Qin Muye declined, saying he was very busy and wouldn't take over, as it was a 24/7 job that most people couldn't handle.
Then, he settled down in a side hall of the Palace of the Underworld to plan his next steps.
"Currently, my state is roughly equivalent to the peak of the Cosmic Will and the Shining Universe, but there are still some deficiencies."
Qin Muye knew that although he had become the Will of the Abyss, there were still some flaws.
"My current situation is that I can control the Endless Abyss, so the next step is to fully integrate the Endless Abyss with myself."
Currently, he was a part of the Endless Abyss, but Qin Muye needed to make the Endless Abyss a part of himself, meaning he would become the world, not just the Endless Abyss.
This hierarchy couldn't be reversed, which was why the Cosmic Will had failed—because of the reversed hierarchy.
So, his idea was simple: he needed to make the Endless Abyss a part of himself, rather than the Will of the Abyss being a part of the Endless Abyss.
"The difficulty is considerable, but the rewards are great. Once completed, my strength will likely be at the top-tier of the 9th rank."
"At that time, I can complete my project in the world of 'The Lord's Era.' The fairy tale world doesn't have the necessary conditions."
The fairy tale world, being an 8th-rank world, had already produced two 9th-rank beings, which was already at its limit. It was unlikely that any other Titan gods could advance further from this point.
In a typical 8th-rank world, having one 9th-rank being was already exceptional. Qin Muye couldn't expect to complete his project in this world.
"My challenge is much smaller than what the Cosmic Will faced. After all, the Endless Abyss was built by me, while the Cosmic Will emerged from the Shining Universe. The relationship and hierarchy between us and the Endless Abyss are different."
Using a native world would be more difficult than the Endless Abyss, which he had built from scratch using resources from various worlds. Qin Muye could even say he knew the Endless Abyss better than the Endless Abyss itself.
