Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality-Chapter 944 - 389 Memory_2

Chapter 944: Chapter 389 Memory_2 Chapter 944 -389 Memory_2 “It seems you are right… This so-called destiny amounts to nothing—wait, what is that?”

Looking up at the sky, the Lord of Hell wore a solemn expression.

In this world formed of memories, the boundless sky shattered with a thunderous crack.

Thunder rose from the center of the Earth, shooting towards the heavens.

Yet everything halted before a sky-obscuring hand, like an ant trying to shake a tree, breaking into fragments scattered across the sky.

As time ticked away, Asmodeus watched gravely.

Until the world was on the brink of destruction, the heavens and earth faded into nothingness, and the entire memory segment came to an end.

The surrounding images gradually faded away, leaving the Lord of the Nine Hells lost in thought.

“…This is fake.”

He spoke lightly, not expecting that the memory Hermes offered would be this segment.

However, the incarnated Ancient Serpent beside him was not at all flustered.

It had not fully dismissed the possibility of such a scene occurring.

Just as he said, it was ‘fake’, for there were many flaws within it.

“Yes, this is probably fake.”

“There is no trace of the Primordial Gods, let alone you and me.”

“However, the traces of Law within this memory are not false; this is a scene that can only be seen from the perspective of a Deity with powerful Divine Power…”

Nodding and then shaking his head, Asmodeus could not identify Laine from a mere hand, as when Hermes fled the Fantasy World, Laine had not yet reclaimed its history with the Annals of Time.

Based on the information revealed, the Lord of the Nine Hells drew a preliminary conclusion.

“This probably truly is the memory of the Fates, and though their Divine Power is not strong, perhaps the world’s Law they see is not as vague as that seen through powerful Divine Power.”

“However, this destiny itself might be fake, or it could merely be the worst possibility—that Chaos truly harbors such a Destroyer, and this piece of destiny is a warning that the present world tries to convey to the All Gods through the mouth of the Fates.”

The Ancient Serpent agreed with a nod, making judgment in a few words.

Hermes presenting this memory did indeed surprise it. The way it erased its own traces was clumsy, and it saw right through it.

Was this an attempt to use it to find the identity of the Destroyer?… Seeing the Serpent of the Central Court about to say something,

In the next moment, the burning memory swelled once again.

Invisible waves spread around, dissolving into a deathly silent emptiness of darkness.

At a glance, no cornerstone of any material existence could be seen.

This was the Void outside of the world, recognized by the Lord of the Nine Hells.

As the flow of time progressed in the memory space, even though there was no sensation of movement in the Void, the memory itself gave the feeling of leaving the world.

Far behind in the vast distance seemed to be Chaos, while ahead in the darkness a point of light ascended.

Asmodeus gazed into the distance, and vaguely, he thought he saw lights, large and small.

They swirled like whirlpools, fractured yet converging; and they seemed so desolate.

“Is that…”

“—Worlds?”

He spoke haltingly, and as the position within the memory moved, finally, at a certain moment, the Lord of the Nine Hells saw the true nature of those points of light.

Shattered earth and sky fell apart, the lingering will of a world crying out in despair.

Subconsciously stepping forward, Asmodeus tried to see more clearly, but in the next moment, an overwhelming sense of Fear swept over from all directions.

Instantly, the memory space came to a halt, the darkness of the Void faded away, and the dual suns shone beside him once again.

Taking a deep breath, the Lord of the Nine Hells retracted his advancing step.

He almost forgot that within the fragments of memory, regardless of his own strength, be it formidable or weak, or the distance he was from the event, what he could see, hear, and even the final onset of fear, were in fact all sensations belonging to the owner of the memory.

He was just an observer, unable to change any outcome or delve into further secrets.

However, in Asmodeus’s view, the fact that a mortal believer could obtain such a secret from the Fates’ memories was already a great achievement.

“This is a warning—a more direct one.”

“The first memory fragment may be a pessimistic rehearsal of the future, while the second, is more likely to be about the past or events currently unfolding!”

Although no presence was seen in the second memory, the outcome of connecting both memories was self-evident.

The subtle power of Otherworld Law in the second memory was even more clear-cut.

No one could fabricate a world cycle consistent with its own Law—it must originate from a real Otherworld, it’s just that it is now destroyed, like Muspelheim, the Kingdom of Flames, integrated into the Nine Realms of Hell and the Abyss.

This entity is an apocalypse incarnate, a deity from an Alien Realm… and the sole great reason in the first memory was none other than Zeus—it seems the cause has been found—it is the current World Law, borrowing the hand of the Fates, attempting to issue a warning to the Divine King through prophecy.

The more he thought, the more it seemed so… while standing aside, the incarnation of the Ancient Serpent remained silent.

“…”

He guessed the beginning but not the end.

How Hermes managed to glimpse Hemenu was something it still didn’t quite understand.

Could it be that Hermes did not deceive it, and this was indeed a prophecy he obtained from the Fates?

Perhaps the process through which he acquired it wasn’t easy to illustrate, which is why he presented it differently.

Fortunately, after the separation of the divine from the human, whether in terms of temperament or some more essential traits, a subtle difference arose; plus, Asmodeus had not witnessed the full display of Spirit Realm strength, which is why he failed to identify the source causing the shattering of the world.

Of course, there’s also the fact that the divine presence didn’t appear at all in this fragment of memory… It’s uncertain whether Hermes actually saw, or with his means, simply couldn’t perceive the divine in its true form.

“…Your believer deserves to be commended, it is the reward he is due.”

“If there really is a Destroyer casting its gaze upon the Chaos World, then no one can remain uninvolved.”

Speaking solemnly, admiration shone in the eyes of Asmodeus.

He didn’t know how the Serpent of the Central Court’s believer had acquired the so-called fate, but it probably had something to do with Laine.

Before the Spirit Realm was opened, Laine was already dealing with fate.

Thus it wasn’t surprising that currently, under his aid, the believer’s avatar was covertly targeting the Fates.

However, the Lord of Hell is clear about rewards and punishments; even though this isn’t his believer, since the information the other party had acquired was useful to him, he ought to provide a reward.

Thinking this, Asmodeus looked toward the Great Serpent.

Until now, he still did not know who this meritorious individual was.

“…You are right, this is indeed ‘very, crucial’ information, and he indeed deserves commendation…”

“But as for exactly what ‘reward’ to give him, I still need to think it over so as not to ‘neglect’ the meritorious one.”

The Great Serpent spoke, but for some reason, Asmodeus felt that the other party did not seem as pleased as he should be.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Hmm… perhaps it was a misperception, or maybe it was regret that his own believer didn’t have the strength to see the true visage of the Destroyer.

Such demanding requirements are typical of him.

Asmodeus’s gaze swept over the Central Court, where there were hardly any signs of life.

Apart from this Divine Tree, which even the Lord of the Nine Hells greatly envied, only beings with the power at the level of a deity were qualified to enter here, to face the second King of Hell.

It’s not intentional discrimination against anyone; it’s an equal disdain for all life forms, truly befitting the embodiment of malevolence… but sometimes setting standards too high is unnecessary.

The believer has already done well enough; as for further probing into the secrets of the Destroyer… that should be their own concern.
