Gaia also expressed her willingness to believe Agares' answer. For Gaia, she also believed that no one in the world would take the huge risk of doing something dangerous that would harm others and themselves.
"Okay, Agares, since your problem has been resolved, I will go back first. I hope to come back more often to see your lonely mother in the future!"
"Agares, you now have a priesthood to fulfill. You need to fulfill the duties given to you by the law."
"Nyx and Hemera appear alternately in the sky, bringing night and day to the world."
"The sky blocks the dangers outside the world, and I am not only responsible for stabilizing the world but also for the balance of reproduction and bringing more life to the world."
"Remember, if one day you choose to abandon your duties, then your priesthood and power will also choose to abandon you!"
"Don't worry, mother. I will keep your teachings in mind, fulfill my duties as a priest conscientiously, and assume the responsibilities entrusted to me by the law!" Agares answered Gaia solemnly.
"That's good!"
Gaia smiled with relief and took out a piece of crystal clear crystal and handed it to Agares.
"Take this, it's the crystallization of the earth. I can't always pay attention to you now, but I will bless you. The earth will always be your most solid backing!"
As Gaia spoke, he gradually disappeared from Agares' sight.
Watching Gaia leave, Agares was ready to continue his journey. It was time to go to the ocean.
Complete this last journey on earth and fulfill your divine duties.
After completing this journey, it is time to find a territory for myself and build a home of my own. After all, I can't always stay in the Temple of the Earth and bother Gaia.
Although Gaia may not mind, distance makes beauty!
Moreover, for Agares, who has the memories of his past life, having his own "home" is an indelible pursuit!
"Hmm~ What should it look like?" Agares was thinking about this as he walked away.
——————————————
Cold and heat surge between heaven and earth, and cold energy continuously falls from the air.
A young man dressed in a shirt of ice blue and pure white was walking slowly on the ground.
With his arrival came the biting cold frost. Along the path he walked, the strong plants were buried under thick ice and snow, covering the earth with a white coat.
His ice and snow caused all things to fall into eternal sleep. With the arrival of ice and snow, life had a deep fear of this god.
Nymphs do not have strong bodies or clothes to protect against the cold. They cannot resist the coldness of ice and snow and can only shiver in it.
Watching the deaths of countless lives, the fear drove them to tremble in fear, and they constantly prayed that the god of ice and snow would leave as soon as possible so that their home could return to its former peace.
The beasts in nature are undoubtedly much happier than nymphs, although many beasts still die under the ice and snow.
Without the God of Growth, a large number of plants died due to the cold, and most of the herbivorous animals starved to death due to lack of food.
But in the end, a small number of them survived and relied on their strong physiques to safely survive the crisis of death in deep sleep.
The god of frost and death was born, embodying the concept of plants and creatures dying in ice and snow, bringing the first scene of mass death to the earth.
The God of Growth, who was far away on the sacred mountain, felt the wailing of the plants before their death. Because of Uranus's suppression, his divine power, which had never fulfilled his duties, was constantly declining.
He knew that the enemy of his power had appeared, but he had no way to stop it and could only watch himself become weaker and weaker.
Where there are gods who are sad, there are gods who are happy. In the new and empty underworld under the earth, the god of sleep - Hypnos, and the god of death - Thanatos received huge benefits.
The beasts learned without any instruction to survive the crisis by sleeping, and the expansion of the concept of sleep also increased the power of Hypnos.
Hypnos, who has been born for so long but can only slowly accumulate strength, said
"Who would understand? My family, those gods don't sleep much! After so long, we finally have a chance to increase our power!"
Thanatos was the one who was caught in the trouble of happiness. In Chaos' concept of death, the scope of the original gods never included them.
Even the weak nymphs can remain young forever because they have a faint divinity as the reserve forces of the gods, so the concept of death in the world today is very weak.
Thanks to this mass death, Thanatos finally broke through to the middle level of divine power, but trouble also came from this.
He needs to capture the souls of dead lives on earth and bring them back to the underworld, which is undoubtedly a huge task for Thanatos who only has his brother Hypnos to help him.
Agares didn't know all this. He only wanted to become thoroughly familiar with the power of ice and snow, and bring eternal sleep to the world in preparation for the coming of winter.
The power of ice and snow finally reached the ocean. The sea water quickly solidified under the power of cold, informing the sea gods of the arrival of the God of Ice and Snow.
Pontos in the Temple of Poseidon also noticed Agares' arrival and called his five children to welcome his brother.
"Nereus, Thomas, my youngest brother has come to the ocean. As masters, we should entertain my newborn brother. Go and greet him!"
Nereus and Thomas, who had come in response to Pontus' call, heard the Father's command and quickly replied:
"Yes, Father God!"
After saying that, he hurriedly turned into sea water and rushed straight to the sea surface.
Keto, Phorcys and Eurybia who arrived later missed the opportunity because they came late and could only stay in the temple waiting for Agares to come.
But Agares, who stayed at the seaside, was ready to leave.
Agares now had no intention of meeting Pontos. After all, he had never met him before and would not know what to say when the time came.
He didn't want to face such an embarrassing scene, so he decided to wait until later and let Gaia act as a bridge before meeting again!
Moreover, for some reason he had an inexplicable feeling since he arrived at the beach, and he had been feeling a little uneasy.
I always feel that I will encounter some danger, but then I remember that this is a world written by fate, so I have to trust my premonitions!
Therefore, before they arrived, Agares left the ocean from the bottom of his heart.
Nereus and Thomas, who arrived late, were dumbfounded when they saw the deserted beach.
The Father God's perception must be correct, that is, the God of Earthquake must have left for some unknown reason. The two gods looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Brother, what should we do in this situation?" Thomas asked Nereus directly.
"Let's go back and report to the Father! The Father will not blame us!" Nereus knew that it was useless to stay here, so he might as well go back and explain the situation to Pontus.
After saying this, Nereus took the lead and rushed into the ocean, returning along the same route towards the deep sea.
