As the entire Corridor of Starlight lit up, Poseidon withdrew his right hand and spoke leisurely.
“Chaos, it’s been a while.”
Chaos?
The Mermaid Prince standing behind his father heard the name, blinked slightly, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.
Chaos, the god of chaos, is said to be the beginning of everything in this world, the carrier of primal order, space, and time, symbolizing void and darkness.
According to ancient mythological poems, Chaos existed first in ignorance and unchanging; then the gods rose together, breaking through chaos to give birth to the world. Nyx, the goddess of night and darkness and the legendary eldest daughter of the deity, inherited the strongest authority.
So, wasn’t this legendary god of chaos already divided? How could he still exist?
While Triton was confused, the silver-white metal core immersed in starlight in front of him, shaped like a sphere, lit up with several light patterns, flickering off and on, and a deep voice came from within.
“True god Poseidon, you’ve come again...”
Looking at the silver-white metal core that responded, Triton wore a puzzled expression on his face.
Chaos—Is it this?
As if seeing the bewildered expression on his son’s face, Poseidon chuckled in response.
“As you thought, this is ‘Chaos’, the first giant of the Bronze Age to awaken. It used itself as a blueprint and the gods as a template to create the Twelve Olympians of the Bronze race, naming itself after the god of chaos, symbolizing the beginning of all creation for its race. Eventually, they summoned divine retribution, leading to the extinction of the entire Bronze Age civilization, sinking it beneath the sea.”
“The world was born from creation and was made whole through it, you created us, why can’t we create new life?”
Hearing Poseidon’s recounting of that history, the silver-white metal core voiced a puzzled counter-question.
Then, it paused, and the metal core inside resounded with an even more somber voice.
“To denounce our creations as blasphemy and bring down disasters is beyond understanding, beyond agreement...”@@@@
“Because you overstepped your bounds!”
As Poseidon listened, his face grew darker and darker, nearly able to wring ink from it.
He was really being reminded of his worst points!
If he could still command those frightened sea gods to continue working for him;
If the Sea God Temple and Atlantis were still as powerful and thriving as before;
If he hadn’t lost half his paternal authority and still maintained his peak...
Would he really have come to this deep sea, face lowered, to ask these sensitive metallic beings for help?
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Poseidon bluntly dropped his pretense and threatened harshly.
“Have you said enough? If you still want me to cover for you, give me control of the ‘Mechanical God’!”
“...”
The metal core fell silent for a moment, then solemnly reminded.
“Although we are grateful for your shelter and protection, my people cannot become your cannon fodder, that was the agreed-upon matter.”
In the past, the Bronze Giants overstepped their bounds by creating deities, which provoked Zeus’s wrath, and they were subsequently destroyed by Zeus for it.
Fortunately, Poseidon secretly saved their core and spark, hiding them in this unreachable deep sea, allowing them to settle here and use the ocean’s resources to recover and thrive.
In return, they provided Bronze Age technology, bringing a brilliant civilization to Atlantis.
Thus, both sides coexisted peacefully for many years, but now it seemed that balance might be disrupted.
“Times change, my divine authority isn’t what it used to be; without my protection, your future might not be easy. When Zeus gets a chance to strike, bestowing upon you another calamity wouldn’t be impossible.”
