Chapter 135 The King's First Love, the Memory of the Goddess of Wisdom

The cat opened its mouth, spit out flames, burned the Sphinx's body completely, then dug a deep hole with its claws, pushed it inside, and filled it to death.

After all, the Sphinx is a beast sent by Hera and cannot be discovered by her.

Yang Qi knew it in his heart. The Olympian gods had different personalities, and Hera was famous for being irritable and jealous. If he offended her, she would definitely take revenge.

Melinoe watched from the side, then she raised her hand, and thousands of black threads flowed from the gaps between her fingers, deep into the earth.

"I used the power of conspiracy to disguise the death of the Sphinx. Hera will not find it easily."

Then the cat and the two wanderers walked towards the Temple of Metis.

Stepping into the temple, the temple is made of huge rocks. The interior of the temple is also covered with various vines and ivy. The ground is covered with leaves, making it a bit desolate.

In the center of the temple, there is a statue with the face of Metis, a sphinx, wings on its back, and a ferocious and terrifying face.

Yang Qifei stepped forward and observed the traces around the statue. It was obvious that the original statue had been overturned.

This is a newly built statue in the image of the Sphinx.

There is nothing strange about the statue.

Although the temple is huge, it is unusually empty. They circled around it and found no special mechanisms or hidden terrain.

"Is there nothing..." Yang Qi thought in his mind. His perception of divine power was extremely keen, and he could vaguely feel that there was a special divine power flowing here.

If we say Aphrodite's divine power, it is the kind of divine power that makes people feel itchy and unbearable, full of desire and impulse.

This kind of divine power made Yang Qi feel bright in mind and fresh in body and mind, as if a clear spring was flowing through his heart.

"It should be the wisdom power of Metis...after all, she is the first generation goddess of wisdom. But why can't I find anything."

Yang Qi simply opened his third eye, and the power of the eye spread out, surrounding the entire interior of the temple.

After a while.

Yang Qi suddenly opened his eyes and realized something in his heart. Then he raised his head and looked at the dome of the temple.

"Husband, did you find anything?" Medea said.

Yang Qi replied: "The dome of the temple. The dome and the surrounding walls are inlaid with a large number of gems."

These gems are not expensive, but they have good refractive effects.

Then the cat flew up, and he mobilized the divine power of shadow, and a dark sphere of divine power appeared, and then spread, covering the entire temple.

It was as if all the candles were suddenly blown out in the middle of the night, and the entire temple suddenly became dark.

Buzz... A bright little moon appears, flying around the cat. This is the white moon in the source of divine power.

The moon is invisible. It passes through the dome of the temple, flies into the sky, and then spreads bright moonlight.

Yang Qi kept adjusting the position of the moon. Suddenly, a ray of moonlight shone down from the hole in the dome of the temple, and -!

That moonlight was refracted by countless gems. In an instant, there were countless moonlights intersecting in the temple, hazy, looking beautiful and mysterious.

"The position of the gem needs to be adjusted." Melinoe randomly twisted the gem on the wall next to him, and the reflected moonlight was deflected at the same time.

"There must be...at least thousands of gems here." Melinoe whispered, "This is a puzzle left by the goddess Metis."

Yang Qi also used his tail to twist the gem at will. The moonlight moved in the air and hit another gem, which was immediately refracted.

Yang Qi cooperated with Melinoe and constantly adjusted the locations of various gems in an attempt to solve the mystery of Metis.

Medea was not interested in this and did not understand the research very well. She just sat and watched and fell asleep while watching.

In her dream, Medea dreamed of Hecate again. She screamed for her mother and wanted to throw herself into her arms. But at some point, Hecate turned into Zeus. He was wrapped in lightning and stabbed himself with a sword.

Medea wakes up. She felt wetness at the corners of her eyes and her heart was pounding. He raised his eyes and saw Cat and Melinoe still studying.

She saw Melinoe pointing at the dome, the cat fluttering its wings and taking off, adjusting the gems, constantly communicating, and seemed very intimate.

"She's quite obedient." Medea wiped her eyes and said nonchalantly. She stood up and wandered around the temple casually.

She walked out of the temple. It was dark outside now, and the bright moonlight illuminated the vast land of Olympus. From time to time there was the sound of birds chirping and the sound of their wings flapping.

The god Medea stretched herself, and suddenly her ears twitched, and in an instant, the bow behind her was in her hands.

She lowered her body and put her ear to the ground, hearing the sound of digging dirt beneath the earth.

The source of the sound is not far away, where the Sphinx's body is buried!

"The Sphinx is burned to ashes...why is there a sound?"

Medea's footsteps were very light. She climbed quickly to a nearby tree and stared down.

Then, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.

Puff, puff, Medea saw that the soil was dug up on the ground, and then a long beak stretched out from the ground.

A peacock crawled out of the ground!

It was stone gray all over, as if it were made of ash—no, it was made of ash!

Medea feels the breath of the Sphinx in the peacock!

The peacock is made from the ashes of the Sphinx!

In particular, the peacock holds a broken piece of book in its mouth.

Medea hunts in the wild all year round, and she can tell from the peacock's movements that the piece of writing is extremely valuable.

She curled up two fingers and put them to her mouth, wanting to whistle and call the cat over. Then he blinked, put down his hand, and quietly pulled out the dagger from his waist.

The peacock looked around and found nothing, then it spread its tail and took off.

Whoosh - just as the peacock flew into the air, a beautiful figure jumped down from the tree like lightning. The dagger in her hand shone with cold light. She grabbed the gray peacock's neck with one hand and stabbed it hard in the heart with the other!

Boom! Medea and the gray peacock fell to the ground, and then there was a click. Medea's pupils opened, and the dagger in her hand shattered, leaving only a white spot on the gray peacock's body.

"So hard?!" Before Medea could react, the peacock broke free from her restraints with great strength, and then swung its sharp tail.

The necklace around Medea's neck shone, and then strong winds blew up. She took a step back, trying to avoid the peacock's attack, and the sharp edge left a bloody mark on her face.

The gray peacock failed to land a single blow and did not pursue him. He spread his tail wings and ran away like crazy.

Medea picked up the dagger on the ground. The dagger had been shattered, leaving only the hilt. She bit the hilt of the sword with her mouth, used her hands and feet to climb to the nearby tree in an instant, suddenly took off, jumped tens of meters high, and caught the gray peacock from the air again!

The girl and the gray peacock fell from the sky at high speed! She grabbed the hilt of the sword, the necklace shone with divine light, and boom, a flaming dagger appeared and stabbed the peacock's heart fiercely!

…

"Here, turn left fifteen degrees."

"Here, turn left five degrees, meow."

"Here, turn thirty degrees to the right, meow."

A black cat flapped its wings and looked carefully at the gems on the dome, rotating one by one.

As the last gem rotated, the bright moonlight refracted each other, and finally condensed to a point, shining on the statue in the center of the temple.

"...It's done?" The cat felt like he was sweating profusely and almost exhausted.

This doesn't take any divine power, but it takes too much mental effort.

But it was still quiet in the temple, and nothing happened.

"Brother, no." With a tired divine voice, Melinoe flew over.

"The light from two gems overlapped, and one gem was not refracted."

"It's so difficult, meow." Yang Qi couldn't help folding his wings and lying on the ground.

A single move affects the whole body. Every time a gem is adjusted, countless gems must be adjusted. Yang Qi felt that his head was about to explode.

Melinoe also came down and sat next to Yang Qi.

"Brother, I really didn't expect you to be so smart. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have one-tenth of the progress we have now."

"There's no need to talk about this now, meow. This is not a mystery that hasn't been solved yet." Yang Qi lay on the ground and flicked his tail.

"After all, it is a puzzle of Metis, the goddess of wisdom. It is difficult for sure." Yang Qi thought lazily, "I have to start adjusting again. I don't know when I can adjust it."

Snapped.

At this moment, a wet hand patted Yang Qi's back.

Yang Qi turned around and saw that it was Medea. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and she was breathing heavily. Her left eye was bandaged at some point, and the bandage was soaked with blood.

She looked at the cat with one eye, and then handed over a piece of paper.

"Huh...huh... gray peacock." Medea said, "The ashes of the Sphinx condensed into a gray peacock. There is this piece of paper in its mouth."

"Are you injured?" Yang Qi took the piece of paper and did not check it. Instead, he flew up to check Medea's injury. The wound was fresh and the bleeding hadn't stopped yet.

And it was not a bandage, but a torn piece of tattered clothing.

Buzz... Yang Qi mobilized his life power to treat Medea, and her injured left eye gradually recovered.

Yang Qi asked: "Why didn't you tell us and insisted on fighting that peacock yourself?"

Medea was stunned, "It's nothing. I don't understand this puzzle, so I just want to help you somewhere else."

Then she said: "Husband, look at the piece of paper and see what it is."

"The source of my divine power has collapsed, and I have a very weak sense of divine power. I don't know what the piece of paper is."

"Well..." Yang Qi healed Medea, opened his third eye, observed the piece of paper, and carefully felt the divine power in it.

A very weak divine power that clears the ears and eyes, as if there is a clear spring flowing through the mind.

"Wisdom and divine power..." Yang Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "And, there is a memory in it!"

Yang Qi suddenly became excited. This piece of paper, like the fragment of Cronus's divine sickle, has a past memory!

Yang Qi possesses the [Immortal Pearl], which allows him to absorb divine power in dreams and memories!

Yang Qi had spent a lot of time looking for the fragments of Cronus' divine sickle before, but he couldn't find a few pieces.

"Since it is the divine power of wisdom... then it means that the owner of this piece of paper is Metis!"

"I can see Metis' past memories!"

Yang Qi's heart was pounding, and then he summoned a divine protective shield to cover the entire temple, clutching the scraps of paper tightly and closing his eyes.

Boom——!

Just like when he saw the memory of Cronus, Yang Qi's soul felt that it had traveled to an infinitely high place, traveling through infinite time and space in an instant!

The sea breeze is howling and the tide is rolling. Fine yellow sand, palm and coconut trees, white shells.

Yang Qi found himself on an island!

He saw two huge statues at the highest point of the mountain range on the island.

One of the gods wore a crown made of seaweed and held a scepter of the tide. His lower body was an octopus with countless tentacles extending out.

The other god wore a robe, her hair was black seaweed, and there were countless colorful fish in her eyes. Countless black clouds floated around her.

Yang Qi remembered the records in the mythology. The male god was Oceanus, the second generation of the God of the Ocean!

And the goddess was the goddess of the sea, Thesis.

They were all brothers and sisters of Kronos, the twelve ancient Titans.

They were the famous Ocean God couple! Before Poseidon, they ruled the ocean.

"The Ocean God couple... So, this is Poseidon Island!"

"The Ocean God couple has a strong fertility. They gave birth to a total of 3,000 daughters, referred to as Ocean Goddesses."

"In mythological records, many Olympian gods married Ocean Goddesses."

"Metis is the eldest daughter of the 3,000 Ocean Goddesses!"

Yang Qi existed in the state of soul. He quickly circled Poseidon Island and found a girl.

She was wearing a red robe, with a golden band on her forehead. Her face was gentle and calm, beautiful and generous. She held an ancient book in her hand.

It was Metis!

Across from her was a young god. He was surrounded by thunder, with a majestic figure and a solemn face. There were some divine lights behind him, condensing into thousands of illusions, majestic and sacred.

"Zeus...Zeus in his youth!"

After Zeus was born, his original fate was to be swallowed by Kronos. But Kronos' wife, Rhea, who had the heart of a gem, felt sorry for the child, so she used a stone lion to replace the child and deceived Kronos.

Rhea sent Zeus to the island of Poseidon and let the Oceanus couple raise him.

"So... what's the situation now?" Yang Qi looked at the young Zeus and Metis, and he felt that the atmosphere between the two sides was a little tense.

"Beautiful Metis." The young Zeus walked forward, and with every step he took, there was a thunder explosion behind him, and the earth trembled.

There was a fire of desire in Zeus' eyes, and that desire condensed into a solid, turning into a series of thunder chains, and in an instant formed a huge thunder cage, covering everything within a radius of ten thousand miles.

"Zeus, Zeus, what's wrong with you." Metis hugged the book of wisdom tightly, a little panicked, she took a few steps back, and suddenly she trembled all over, and saw a thunder chain coming from behind her and wrapped around her wrist.

The thunder chain was actually Zeus's desire, which was extremely hot, making Metis feel cold all over.

Swish—the lightning chain straightened, dragging Metis over to Zeus' side.

Zeus lowered his head, grabbed Metis's hand, placed her hand on his chest, and stared at her intently.

"Beautiful goddess of wisdom, please listen to my heartbeat. My heart is beating for you. Can't you hear that my heart is calling your name all the time?"

Metis blushed instantly, and she nodded gently, "I heard it, I heard it."

Buzz...

The divine light behind Zeus gradually condensed, forming a broken crown, floating above his head.

"Beautiful goddess of wisdom, have you seen this broken crown?"

"Since I was born, I have realized that I am destined to be the king. I will go to Olympus, kill my father, and take back everything I have - I will rule the entire Olympus!"

"This broken crown is the proof!"

"I have the breath of a king - beautiful Metis, as the goddess of wisdom, can you feel my ambition? Can you feel my destiny?"

"Can you feel the great power and great glory I will have?"

"I... I can feel it." Metis's face was a little pale, her wrists were tightly handcuffed by thunder chains, and she didn't know whether to bow her head or raise her head.

"I will be the king of the gods! Metis, I see your divine power, I admire your wisdom, and I see that the threads of our destiny are tightly entangled together."

"Look at me, Metis!"

Zeus shouted loudly, frightening Metis to look up, thunder flashed in Zeus' eyes, and his divine voice was majestic and solemn.

"On my way to Olympus, before I ascend the throne, I need your help, I need your great wisdom."

"Will you help me, Metis?"

"I...I..." Metis whispered.

She is the goddess of wisdom, always confident and sure of everything. But there is only one thing, she seems to have lost all wisdom in front of Zeus.

Zeus grabbed Metis's hand and put her bright and white hand on his face. "Beautiful goddess Metis, you are an indispensable part of my road to becoming king."

Then he said seriously: "When I... ascend to the throne."

"You will... become the queen of gods."

"...Puchi." Yang Qi watched all this in the air, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Thinking in his heart: "Zeus really didn't hesitate to tell a lie. His acting skills are really superb."

"You said it so seriously, if I didn't know that he instantly fell in love with someone else after seeing Hera, I would have believed it."

"I...I..." Metis' face turned red, and instantly turned pale, and then turned red again. Her hand was tightly grasped by Zeus, unable to break free.

Zeus said: "Goddess of Wisdom, what else do you want? I promise you will become the Queen of Gods. Is there anything more precious than this?"

"I promised to give you love, the love of the king, are you still not satisfied?"

"Goddess of Wisdom, are you such a greedy god?!"

Hearing this, Metis' beautiful eyes moved, and the panic on her face gradually disappeared.

She shook her head, "No."

Metis's divine voice was gentle and pleasant.

"I am not greedy for the position of Queen of Gods, and I don't want any authority, wealth and power."

"Those are meaningless to me. I would rather bury myself in the library, write thousands of books, convey the beauty of wisdom to all living beings, and let them understand what rationality is."

"Zeus... I love wisdom and freedom more than everything you provide."

Zeus said: "Metis, when I rule the world of gods and you become the Queen of Gods, you can spread wisdom and freedom. Why would I stop you?"

"...Let me go." Metis said suddenly.

Her tone was firm, Zeus was stunned, and couldn't help but let go of her hand.

"No...anyone can be my husband. Even if you are the son of the God King and have the breath of the king."

Metis said softly, "Zeus, I will give you a test. If you can pass the test, I will become your wife, listen to your words, take care of your life, treat you gently, and help you become the God King."

"Hahaha!" Zeus laughed, "Metis, on the road to becoming a king, when will there be fewer tests? It is a road full of thorns and blood, and only the end is glory."

"I am never afraid of any challenge, tell me, what is your challenge?!"

"It's coming..." Yang Qi's soul watched all this, and an illusory gem flickered beside him.

"Zeus and Metis are about to show their divine power!"

"I want to absorb their divine power!!"

There will be another update in the evening. If I am not busy these days, I will try to update 10,000 times.
