Just as Agares was wantonly wielding his divine power to perfect the concept of the sculpture, the daylight quickly left the sky, and the dark night appeared from where the daylight had left.
In Chaos' world, day and night are not equal. The body of the goddess of night covers the sky, allowing the world to return to tranquility and all things to sleep. This is the night.
The daughter of the goddess of night, Hemera of the day, uses her divine power to cover the night at the time prescribed by the law, turning it into day.
The light in the daytime is brought by the Titan God of Light and his wife. At this time in the world, the sun and the moon have not yet been born.
But it seems to be coming soon. At this moment, the world is mostly shrouded in the concept of coldness due to the lack of heat.
Although it is no longer fatal, it is still unbearable for many lives, and this phenomenon will accelerate the birth of the hot sun.
However, due to the appearance of Agares, the sun that was born afterwards would most likely not be able to control the heat.
Originally, heat is the sun and is born in the daytime, symbolizing the sun; cold symbolizes a part of the moon and represents the night. The concepts of cold and heat are both born from the sun and the moon.
But now the concepts of cold and heat were born before the sun and the moon, so later the sun and the moon would symbolize cold and heat, and the status of the two would be reversed.
Plus, the god who controls cold and heat is Agares, who possesses great power!
From then on, part of the realm of the sun and the moon will be occupied forever by Agares, and they can't say anything and can't take it back.
This is probably the superiority of the pioneers and the sorrow of the latecomers!
Regardless of what the future holds, even now in the early night, the dark sky is not empty.
In the distant sky, there is always a hazy, dark, and thin crescent moon dotted with a little light, hanging quietly in the air.
That was the original form of the "Ancient Moon" displayed by the Oracle Goddess, [Phobe], in accordance with the will of the God King and with her own divine power.
(I know it's usually the new moon, but I think the real moon and the moon goddess Selene are more suitable for the new moon. I'll take it as a small setting of mine.)
The ancient moon in the center of the sky symbolizes the supreme power of the God King.
That was the oracle goddess's instruction that the world belonged to the God-King and would be watched by the God-King both day and night.
The God of the Celestial Body received the order from the God King to retract his divine power and hide himself, making the night world as clear as day.
The starless and moonless night is Chaos's original night. It is so terrifying and disturbing in the face of the world's creatures' instinct to pursue light!
These chaotic negative divinities fill the essence of the night, making the night particularly troubled. They pollute the purity of the night, which makes the goddess of night displeased.
But the silent night not only brings fear, but also sleep. The existence of sleep makes living beings fear the darkness but not hate it.
"Time flies so fast, a day has gone by before I know it," Agares sighed as he gazed at the night sky.
He had seen the night countless times in this world, but he was still not used to it.
He had become accustomed to the brightness of the night. This starless and moonless night was extremely boring no matter how many times he saw it.
Agares skillfully summoned magma from the ground to illuminate the dark night for him. Although it was not bright enough, it was meaningful enough.
After all, the darkness does not affect God's vision (I mean when the goddess of night does not actively interfere), but he is still more accustomed to being in the light.
Agares gathered his robes and sat cross-legged on the ground. He had no desire to sleep at all. He looked at the fiery red magma in front of him and fell into deep thought. He sat on the ground in a daze.
There are still animals in the distance who are not asleep, quietly looking in this direction.
They have long been accustomed to the night and seem to be still using their dull brains to wonder why there is light at night that is only seen during the day.
Some light-attracting insects are flying around. Their instinct drives them towards the light source, but they cannot move forward due to an unknown force!
Soon everything quieted down again, and under the influence of the power of the god of sleep, the beasts, unable to resist sleepiness, fell into a brief sleep, with the peaceful power always by their side.
Under the dim and lightless ancient moon is the realm of the god of sleep, who brings the tranquility of sleep to the earth.
On this quiet night, Agares suddenly felt two strange auras outside the valley.
Yes! It is a god, but the distance is a bit far. Maybe he noticed that he left the mark of the valley, right?
Agares was a little curious. From the time he was born till now, he had never seen any other gods except his mother!
Out of curiosity, Agares took the initiative to go to the place where the strange god was.
As Agares saw them, they saw him.
"Greetings, Your Highness Agares! It's a pleasure to meet you tonight. I am Hypnos, the god of sleep, and he is my younger brother, Thanatos, the god of death!" The first to speak was the male god with dreamy wings on his back.
The black curtain covered the true face of the god. In the dark night, pink and purple smoke surrounded him. The smoke was not real, but the embodiment of the power of sleep in the real world.
The one accompanying him must be the god of death. His face cannot be seen clearly, and he is wearing a wide black cloak. The cloak covers his entire body, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Even his hands are wrapped in unknown black air.
The Grim Reaper holds a long and sharp sickle. From the ominous aura wrapped around it, one can sense that it contains considerable power.
Well, it should be said that the power of sickle-type artifacts is not bad. The most famous one is probably the sickle forged by Mother Earth to castrate Uranus.
Later, it was most likely left in the hands of Kronos, as a divine weapon symbolizing the new generation of gods defeating the previous generation of gods. But it was not very clear later!
The rumor was passed on to the goddess of agriculture, Demeter, but it is unknown whether it is true or not.
When Agares met them, the Grim Reaper was raising his scythe and attacking a sleeping goat.
Perhaps the arrival of the stranger made the atmosphere between them a little awkward, causing the Grim Reaper to unconsciously stop what he was doing. Fortunately, Hypnos' words eased the atmosphere.
Thanatos stopped and followed his brother to pay his respects to Agares. It was hard to tell what he was like just now.
Sleep and Death? No! They know me, no! It's impossible that I have no memory of it!
You should know that in Chaos, the name of God is not so easy for people to know. It is all given by the law. A lot of things can be done with one name.
For example, the curse that runs through Greek history will take effect as long as you are stronger than him or possess a special priesthood. All that is needed is a real name!
Even though one can roughly guess whether it is a god through the divinity and aura, it is impossible to directly know the name of God.
Agares not only thought so, but also asked directly, "Hypnos who brought peace to the world and Thanatos who ended life, I am also very happy to meet you, but my memory tells me that we have never met. How do you know me?"
