Fate Wasn't Wearing Underwear 2/3
Even Divine Construct require a certain level of skill.
The Fate Tablet is a top-tier artifact of the dimensional realm, born from a dimensional bubble in the heavens. Its power is the rare attribute of [Destiny].
Even Apsu and Tiamat, the two founding gods of Mesopotamia, were strongly restrained and greatly feared him.
Moreover, he led Tina to invade Greece and caused all this trouble, yet nothing happened to him.
The revelations of destiny received by the Greek prophets became increasingly obscure, and no one suspected the evil worm in the Water Marsh Treehouse.
He even stole Themis, the mother of the Three Goddesses and the Themis, Goddess of Justice, and bewitched Metis, Goddess of Wisdom, into giving birth prematurely and entrusting her child to her. Neither the old nor the new gods could find him.
All indications suggest that the concealment of the Fate Tablet was remarkably perfect.
The fact that he could stealth so easily was probably related to the characteristic of Greek theocracy constantly dividing the octagon.
This world does not have the kind of abnormal being like Marduk controls destiny. The so-called power of destiny exists in a mysterious way, but in reality it is fragmented and disjointed.
The Three Goddesses, Apollo, God of Light, Prometheus the prophet, Themis, Goddess of Justice... There are countless gods who possess the Divinity of Destiny, so many that they cannot be counted on two hands.
If we include mortals such as the Trojan priest Laocoön, the orthodox Delphic Oracle, and the prophetic Sibyl, the so-called chosen ones of heaven are practically commonplace.
Samael even suspected that the Greek eccentrics were not seed-sowing machines, leaving their seed everywhere, but rather creatures who liked to run naked, without any underwear underneath.
Anyone with a modicum of sense could glance at it and glean some potential for development.
Therefore, prophecies from the Greek world were rampant.
For this reason, the power of the Fate Tablet, one of the three, is almost the eldest brother of the numerous Greek deities of Divinity of Destiny scattered like stars in the sky.
Perhaps, to gain leverage over Samael, one would need to be at least on par with the four great Greek Origin God: Gaia, Uranus, Pontus, and Tartarus, and keep a close watch on him.
As the saying goes, the bold get rich, while the timid starve.
Having fully grasped his stealth advantage, Samael dared to wade into the murky waters of the Sea of Okeanos, right under the noses of the Greek Gods, to profit from the chaos.
As expected, he not only ate his fill, but also took the Scythe of Time that Cronus had dropped into the deep sea with him.
The Scythe of Time, Thunderbolt Scepter, Invisibility Helmet, and Sea King's Trident that appeared in the Greek New and Old God Wars were all just divine weapons containing the power of the gods.
The use of the World-Class Fate Tablet to Presence Concealment is simply perfect.
However, while the Scythe of Time may seem incredibly powerful, it was actually quite useless to Zeus's Six Siblings, who were qualified to wield it.
Olympus has three Cyclops, each with an artifact that matches their attributes, so they are not lacking in weapons.
Those below who are eager to make a move and have designs on the Scythe of Time, unless they're tired of living, who would dare to touch the new boss's spoils?
In summary, those who are capable of taking the job are not interested; those who are tempted are too afraid to take it.
In the end, it was Samael who benefited from the hijacking and subsequent escape.
Moreover, even if Zeus obtained this item, he would most likely just leave it unused.
After all, he already had the Thunderbolt Scepter and the Goatskin Divine Shield, which combined offense and defense, so the Scythe of Time was simply not handy.
If he were to fall, firstly, the royal power bestowed by the "Blade of Cronus" could easily lead his brothers to misunderstand and harbor resentment towards his throne.
Besides, even if it were given to a subordinate, wouldn't the achievement of severing the Sky Father's reproductive power be purely offensive?
He is now the new Sky God...
Therefore, in the history of Greek Mythology, Samael has basically never heard of the reappearance of Scythe of Cronus.
This bizarre thing simply vanished without a trace.
The Scythe of Cronus vanished without a trace? I've never seen that thing.
As the ancient serpent murmured, a strange smile spread across its lips, and with a flick of its fingers, a jet-black spear with tiny, snake-shaped scales materialized.
With a light rub of the fingertip, a thick venom slid down the spiral pattern covering the gun body and appeared in the groove at the tip.
"The angel of death, Samael, stood before the howling hellhounds, spear tipped with bile, spreading death as he went..."
We have guns, and we have dogs.
Uh, I seem to be becoming more and more like the serpent in the Eden, symbolizing Original Sin of Humanity.
Samael lightly weighed the black spear in his hand, recalling the relevant description in the Greek Apocalypse of Baruch, and a slight smirk appeared on his lips.
It remains to be seen how the war between "God" and "Demon" will continue.
In an instant, the ancient serpent gathered its thoughts and focused its attention on the weapon in its hand, shaped by the Fate Tablet, becoming more and more satisfied with it.
Now, this drastically changed creature bears almost no resemblance to the Scythe of Cronus.
Furthermore, the aura of the Authority of Destiny Presence Concealment the object, making it difficult for even the owner Cronus, to recognize it for a moment.
Now, he finally had the chance to learn the marksmanship that Ereshkigal and Leonidas had taught him.
As for the Luck E of the Lancer class, that can't curse me.
Samael muttered smugly, then lightly ran his fingertips over the serpentine scales on the gun, dispelling the Divinity of Destiny.
The dark gray power of time destruction transformed into a dark flame, which surged out and instantly lengthened and changed the shape of the spear.
In the blink of an eye, a serpentine handle gripped the sinister weapon with its black scythe blade, solidifying it in Samael's palm, its dense aura of death permeating the air.
Are you kidding me? I still have a second form of my scythe!
During its recovery period, the ancient snake, having nothing to do, entertained itself like a child with a new toy, constantly exploring the mysteries hidden within.
After all, he was in the home of the virtuous Chiron. He stole the father's magic weapon, received help from his son, and even showed it off in front of his son. It was a bit dishonest.
Whenever Samael sensed that Chiron was within his perception range, he would wisely make his spear appear ethereal, obediently playing the role of a patient and waiting to recover.
However, even while recuperating in bed, the ancient serpent couldn't stay idle and began to recall another "destiny" that he had unintentionally solidified, besides the Divine Name of Samael.
Ouroboros Ouroboros!
The name "Ouroboros" comes from Ancient Greece and means to devour indefinitely.
Its wondrous posture, with its head and tail connected, symbolizes various meanings such as "immortality," "completeness," "infinity," "world," and "wisdom."
In fact, Ancient Gods from Civilization Belt such as Egypt, India, Maya, West Africa, and Northern Europe all tell of a snake-like creature that survives by devouring itself.
Its existence extends throughout the world.
In medieval Europe, True Magic researchers, especially alchemists, worshipped it as the King of Magic.
Samael, through divine inspiration, inscribed this extraordinary name on the Fate Tablet. With the blessing of destiny, he briefly gained the ability to balance life and death, and to experience an infinite cycle.
That dormant posture became a perfect way to digest the complex power within the body and neutralize the conflict of powers.
Ouroboros is merely a general definition of possessing certain qualities, not a truly substantial Divine Name.
It has gradually shed its objective existence and become a symbolic representation.
Therefore, it is impossible to achieve instant success and possess unlimited power.
He was endowed with the qualities of Ouroboros by destiny, yet he possesses the potential to continuously evolve.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; the future is still unknowable.
