Chapter 41 Required Remuneration

Pyrrha relaxed, but Deucalion became even more nervous.

Unlike Pyrrha, who was only a demigod, Deucalion's parents were both gods, so he possessed the power and glory of gods from the moment he was born.

The heights they stand at are different, and the things they see are naturally different.

Deucalion wanted to see more profoundly, and what he analyzed was closer to the truth.

It was precisely because of this that he felt deeply painful and powerless.

In this world-destroying flood, the mortals who perished were only insignificant supporting roles, and the gods involved behind it were the protagonists who led the ending of the drama.

Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, used this to advance to great power, dividing the power of the six existing great powers, and completely distinguishing himself from Zeus, Poseidon and others.

The God of Fire Hephaestus, who has always been secretive and regarded as a laughing stock by the gods, suddenly made a voice and stood up for Clotho, the fate weaver who was exiled. He not only rescued her from her fate with his own hands, but also shared himself with her.

For this reason, he defeated Hades, who had been promoted to greatness, and smashed Hades' underworld to pieces. The power he showed was no less than that of Atlas, the giant god who used to fight one against seven.

There are also the Grandmother of the Sea and Oceanus who have regained their glory, the Queen Hera who fell into a strange silence during the incident and is missing, Atlas who holds the sky inexplicably, and the Destiny Weaver Crow who will no longer return to the Temple of Destiny.

Thor, and...the surpassed Zeus.

The world-destroying flood is the trigger of these things, but it is not the end of these things.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Deucalion understood that he had been chosen.

He and Pyrrha were rushed to the center of the theater stage with everyone's tacit understanding, and the rope that pulled down the curtain was placed in their hands.

This is the common aspiration of everyone.

After all, the key to a good drama is to get to the point. If it is too long, it will not end well.

It's time to end it. Everyone who worked hard in acting deserves a dignified exit, as if these things never happened.

Of course...you should also get the reward you want!

Thinking about this clearly, Deucalion bit his lip and drew blood.

As if he felt that this behavior was inappropriate, he pursed his lips unnaturally and swallowed the blood into his stomach.

But the emotions of unwillingness, anger, and sadness still lingered in his mind, forcing him to make a choice.

The loving gaze of his father Prometheus also appeared in his mind. On the cliff of the Caucasus Mountains, he calmly had his chest torn open and allowed the goddess of wisdom to take away his authority.

The wise Deucalion understood that the stripped authority was for himself.

God King Zeus makes no secret of his intentions. He wants to destroy all old memories. Only in this way can he better shape the new human beings at will and imprint his majestic figure in the depths of human memory.

As a god king, he will not plead, if he wants it, it will be there.

Impulse and compromise intertwined in Deucalion's mind.

Finally, he made a choice and tilted his body slightly towards Pyrrha.

After doing this action, the tension in his heart was greatly relieved.

Individual figures were unearthed from his memory, and the first one to bear the brunt was Epimetheus, the foolish leader, but he was quickly denied.

In the end, he did nothing, pretending not to know anything, and waited quietly with Pyrrha, who was extremely at ease in his heart.

Suddenly there was the sound of the third person's clothes being blown in the wind.

"coming!"

Deucalion raised his head and met Athena's playful eyes.

Belatedly, Pyrrha also noticed Athena's arrival, but when she raised her head, she was greeted by Athena's gentle and generous smile.

Athena said to her: "The supreme and pure god-king Zeus has heard your appeal."

"He was merciful and decided to forgive mankind's sins and allow mankind to continue to appear on the earth."

"You're lucky, Pyrrha."

Pyrrha looked humble: "Praise the Most High King."

"Beautiful goddess, please guide me."

Athena's gentle smile became more sincere.

If the initial show of kindness towards Pyrrha was out of respect for Themis, the goddess of justice, then now it was the humility shown by Pyrrha that appealed to her.

She told Pyrrha: "I am one of the ancestors of mankind and gave them wisdom."

"But if you want to create living beings, it's not enough for me alone. You also need the power of your father Epimetheus and Deucalion's father Prometheus."

"Fortunately, we happened to be together."

"Your father told me that his share of authority has been handed over to you a long time ago."

"And Prometheus is willing to do his part in order to redeem himself."

She suddenly looked at Deucalion, and her smile became strange: "Deucalion, he gave me this authority and asked me to transfer it to you."

The authority from Prometheus appeared in her slender, snow-white hands and handed it to Deucalion, who was kneeling on the ground: "Put it away. This is also your father's selfless love for you."

Deucalion reached out to take it, his body trembling slightly.

Athena's slender fingers deformed in his eyes, like two long scarlet knives.

He carefully took over the care from his father on the blade, and the authority disappeared in his hands and became a part of him.

Then, he said to Athena cautiously and respectfully: "I understand how to do it."

"Goddess, please give me a ray of your wisdom."

So Athena generously rewarded him.

Deucalion took Pyrrha to an open space aside. There were many huge stones in the open space. He used his divine power to break them into equal-sized gravels, and then told Pyrrha what to do next.

In this matter, Deucalion seems to be the leader. This may be due to a man's sense of responsibility for his beloved woman. He is a god and has power, and he also feels that he should pay more.

He quickly became familiar with his and Athena's powers, and also had a vague understanding of Pyrrha's authority.

He took Pyrrha and threw gravel at the top of the mountain. Three different powers were briefly invoked by him, so the gravel he threw turned into a man, and the gravel thrown by Pyrrha turned into a woman.

The human seed is sown.

Pyrrha looked at them happily.

The new-born human being is ignorant and doesn't know anything yet, which inspires her motherly nature.

She recalled the advice of her father Epimetheus: "Don't do anything superfluous."

Pyrrha was lucky, now...don't forget it, right?

She said to Deucalion: "Let us stay and take care of them. They don't understand anything yet and they need our help."

Feeling Athena's suddenly cold gaze behind him, Deucalion quickly retorted to her: "Pyrrha, I am very weak and need to rest."

He buried his head and put the remaining wisdom at Athena's feet, bowed to her in a hurry, and then dragged Pyrrha away quickly.

But the farther he walked, the more frightened he became, and the eyes behind him became more and more piercing.

Fortunately, this feeling disappeared quickly.

He didn't dare to look back...

Behind him, Epimetheus blocked Athena's sight. He nodded to Athena and picked up a ray of wisdom placed at her feet.

He spread his hands, and a huge suction force appeared in his palm, and the remaining divine powers of Deucalion and Pyrrha gathered together.

He began to create, and various creatures other than humans began to appear one by one...
