Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 908: Chapter 369: Entering the City_2

Heracles thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.

“Although we share the same goal, how we proceed should not always be decided by me alone.”

“Our next destination is the far west end of the world, but how we get there should be a choice we make together.”

“In that case… how about we make a trip to Silver Moon City first?”

“Crossing the continent is no simple task, and as we can tell from this alchemy ship, a good tool is incredibly important.”

“Moreover, you must have heard of the city’s great reputation.”

“Now that we’re nearby, don’t you want to see its true face?”

Heracles’ expression fluctuated slightly, listening to Amon’s suggestion, it indeed seemed very reasonable to him.

The vessel was secondary; more importantly, the great hero really wanted to witness what a truly powerful wizard was like.

Besides that, he had another matter that he had not yet shared with anyone else.

That is, what had become of the God of West Wind who had given him his last mission?

“Alright.”

With an affirmative nod, the great hero then turned to look at Prometheus.

And the Forethinker did not voice any objections; in fact, he was also curious about the human nation capable of creating such advanced constructions.

However, thinking of something he had sensed not long ago, Prometheus still cautioned.

“I will not interfere with your itinerary, but Heracles, you should remember what I said before.”

“A few days ago, right over this sea, I sensed the power of Zeus being released in the mortal realm.”

“It was brief but very clear. Thousands of years have passed, and his strength has grown stronger.

“Even now I can no longer gauge the difference in strength between him and the Primordial Gods; he has firmly secured his position as the Divine King.”

“So young man, I know not what has happened to you, nor whether it has any relation to Zeus, but nonetheless, I still hope you will be cautious.”

“The real superiority of deities over humans has never been their martial strength or wisdom, but their eternal and undying life and the endless expanse of time.”

“Their true reliance in ruling over all things is their capacity to bear the consequences of failure time and again, compared to their successes.”

“… I will.”

“I hold your teachings close to heart.”

With a serious nod, the great hero did not dismiss the advice lightly.

What Prometheus said was right, and before finding solid evidence, he wasn’t planning on doing anything rash anyway.

Crossing two hills and passing through a river.

In no time at all, after crossing a barrier somewhere between tangible and intangible, Heracles saw that legendary city.

Its enormous silhouette was obscured and hard to distinguish, deliberately hidden from observation from the outside world.

Approaching the suburbs, the number of locals and outsiders began to increase.

In the sky above, twelve towers slowly rotated clockwise.

In the glimpses he caught, the great hero even observed a certain pattern.

But due to the lack of knowledge, even after a long observation, Heracles still felt as if he was looking at flowers through the fog.

“That’s a clock, but it’s also a ‘calendar.'”

“Each day, they should complete one rotation around the city.”

“They also exhibit a master-servant dynamic among each other, changing with the phases of the Moon and positions of the constellations.”

“To change the world through human effort, such a countercurrent act must come at a great cost.”

“But these towers themselves, they draw energy from all things.”

Unlike Heracles, even after thousands of years separated from the mortal realm, Prometheus immediately recognized the sophistication of these rotating towers.

The trajectories of the Sun and Moon, the changing constellations, and the turning of chronology.

In Chaos, from the birth of the Twelve Titans, the number itself has contained the meaning of ‘perfection’ and ‘flawlessness.’

If the humans of the Bronze Age could build such a marvel, then not even a great flood could have erased them.

“It sounds quite impressive, but it seems we’ve been noticed.”

Lacking the Forethinker’s vision and learning, the great hero could not discern as much.
