Mutual Concealment

Mount Othrys.

After obtaining the [Codex of Creation] from Ryan, Themis headed towards the Divine Mountain without a moment's delay.

Legislating for the world is not something that can be done casually. A fitting Divinity, a sufficiently powerful vessel, and the world's steward, authorized by the God King—each of these is indispensable.

However, Themis was not worried that her younger brother would refuse her request. After all, the God King's Throne is not immutable. Take Cronus, for example; even if the five-hundred-year limit hadn't arrived, his God King Divinity would definitely be inferior to that of his father.

Despite Uranus's perverse actions, his act of 'using intercourse to create Life' was, in itself, his greatest achievement as God King.

Moreover, Cronus was an usurper, and the Divine Power he obtained would only be lower. Now, being able to complete the achievement of 'legislation' during his reign was something the New God King would absolutely welcome.

Three days later, Themis, finally back on the Divine Mountain, immediately sought out her younger brother and explained her ideas to him in detail.

However, to the Goddess of Justice's surprise, while Cronus was very supportive of her legislation, he seemed more interested in the God of Spirituality.

"So, you're saying that not only did he not make any demands of you, but he also promised to handle the Chaos and madness expelled from the Rules for you?"

"Yes. I thought they would gather on the Earth, forming many dangerous and impassable lands, since I couldn't deal with them. But since Ryan is interested in them, I agreed to hand them over to him."

Somewhat puzzled by Cronus's focus, Themis still answered.

She guessed that Ryan must have some intention, but she didn't care. They were just some useless things; keeping them would only cause her trouble.

However, while Themis was open-minded, Cronus didn't think so. His resentment towards Ryan was not something that had developed in a day or two.

"Things are not that simple; there must be something you don't know!"

"Ryan will definitely gain something in this process; he's not that kind of good person!"

With a cold snort, Cronus's expression was not very pleasant.

Three hundred years had passed, and although the power brought by his own Divinity was negligible, the nearly complete God King Divinity still gave him the powerful strength of Divine Power Level 17.

But even so, Cronus deeply regretted the decision he had made whenever he thought of the Source Power he had lost.

Divine Power Level is Divine Power Level, and actual combat power is actual combat power. Without most of the Space-Time Divinity, even with the same Divine Power Level, Cronus's strength was far inferior to what it had been.

Moreover, if the Space-Time Divinity were still intact, his current Divine Power could be one level higher. In the realm of Great Divine Power, the gap between levels is not comparable to that below Intermediate Divine Power.

On the other side, looking at Cronus's expression, Themis was obviously somewhat mistaken. She thought he was angry about Ryan's Prophecy. But the Goddess of Justice would not act rashly, so she reminded him:

"I know, Cronus. Because of Ryan's Prophecy, you and my brothers harbor resentment towards him."

"But you must know that, at least for you, you not only actively asked him for the Prophecy, but you also owe him two requests."

"You once swore to the world to fulfill them. When you fully inherit the God King's Throne in two hundred years, you can no longer delay."

"…"

Cronus was somewhat speechless.

He once again cursed Khaos's rigid instincts in his heart. Clearly, the God of Spirituality had done something that displeased the world, clearly he had swallowed his Source Power, but to the world, it was always about the matter, not the person.

Even if it instinctively disliked Ryan, who had stolen the Source Power, it would not abandon its guarantee of Cronus's Oath because of this.

".I will, but there are still two hundred years, aren't there."

In the end, Cronus accepted the fact that he had to work for Ryan, and he turned to another question:

"You said he opened up an Interface called the 'Spirit World,' which also contains many special beings?"

"Yes." Themis nodded and said, "I was just about to tell you. After he returns the 'Life Treasure Bottle,' I plan to visit the Mother of Night and create some new life on Earth as well."

"Speaking of new life, I have seen some."

Cronus frowned slightly, recalling, "About a hundred years ago, Ker, God of Destruction, on behalf of the eight Gods who reside in the Underworld, came to Divine Mountain to pay homage to me."

"At that time, he was accompanied by some beings called 'Eternal Night Nymphs.' They are not Gods, not even quasi-Gods with Authority. According to him, they were Attendants given to him by the Mother of Night, the Ancient God Nyx."

Cronus actually embellished this process. Ker didn't come to represent the eight Gods to pay homage to the God King at all; he purely came to show off in front of him, the New God King.

In fact, most of the Gods of Khaos are still very emotional. The God King was still alone, but he had Servants accompanying him, which greatly satisfied Ker's vanity and made Cronus secretly angry.

But he had no choice. After all, according to Ker, he had a close relationship with his Mother of Night, and the New God King dared not provoke a Primordial God at this time.

Of course, what Cronus didn't know was that the God of Destruction also embellished the process of obtaining the Eternal Night Nymphs.

In his words, the two Primordial Ancient Gods cared very much about their Gods, but in reality, the Twin Gods of the Night had not met them a few times.

Erebus didn't care at all about the children evolved from his main body, and the Lady of the Night only gave them a few Nymphs created with Soul Embryos in name.

None of them were given Divinity by the Lady of the Night and enlightened into Demigods, completely unlike what Ker said, which was a testament to the closeness of the Mother of Night and son.

"Didn't the Mother of Night go to Ryan Your Highness before?" Themis speculated, "Maybe it was at that time that he and Nyx Your Highness created new life together."

"Maybe," Cronus said, "But since Nyx Your Highness has accepted the existence of new life, they should be fine."

"I will go with you to see the Mother of Night then. On the Earth of Khaos, there should also be some life that knows how to respect the God King."

Frowning slightly, Themis was a little dissatisfied. Ryan created life in his own Interface, and Cronus's first reaction was actually, 'They may have problems'?

At least in her impression, Ryan didn't seem to have done anything to the Titans on his own initiative.

"You don't understand." Shaking his head, Cronus glanced at the Goddess of Justice's face, but in the end, he didn't say much.

He didn't want to spread the idea of his mistakes all over the world. If possible, he wished no one knew about the deficit in the origin of his Divinity.

"Let's leave it at that, Themis. When you complete the initial draft of the Codex, I will probably have already taken control of the God King's Throne. At that time, I will support your actions in the name of the God King."

"That would be great."

Nodding, the Goddess of Justice still didn't talk to Cronus in depth about Ryan. For her, legislation is the top priority at the moment.

The previous three hundred years were far from enough for her to understand all the loopholes in the laws of the present world. Now, with the assistance of the 'Codex of Creation,' she can more deeply access the Rules of the present world.
