Chapter 255: Mythological Apocrypha: A Great Upgrade to the Unofficial History

After the ritual was drawn to completion, Su Nian sent Pandora back to the Netherworld, then walked over to the sofa nearby.

He leaned back onto the sofa, feeling very relaxed, and tilted his head to look at Athena.

"Just as we envisioned, using Melqart as a medium, it is entirely possible to usurp all of his Authority and existence through the Ring of Usurpation."

"And after I strengthened it with the ritual, the Ring of Usurpation can fully leverage Melqart to achieve the usurpation of Divine Realm: Terentis."

"It might even be possible to usurp the entire Phoenician Mythology."

Athena did not respond immediately; instead, she flipped through the information about Little Garden on the phone Su Nian had given her, as well as the data regarding Su Nian's usurpation of mythology.

Athena's movements paused for a moment as she checked the data.

"A Divine Realm represents a true mythology; if the Divine Realm is taken away, then what is to become of that mythology?"

Only after understanding the information about Little Garden did Athena realize just how great the risks of her previous suggestion were.

To usurp an entire mythology—she really dared to think it.

Given that she and Su Nian were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, she did not want Su Nian to take such a great risk.

She felt that simply helping her ascend to the Fourth Generation God King, while incidentally messing with the faith of the Cross Religion, would be quite good enough.

"Small problem, can't I just write out a mythology?"

Su Nian leaned on the sofa, playing with his phone, and said without raising his head.

"No matter how big these matters are, they are not as significant as the impact caused by observing this world."

Athena was silent for a moment; for her alone to inexplicably shoulder the fate of the entire multiverse was still a bit too abstract.

Yet, she had no choice but to follow Su Nian's lead.

Otherwise, her world would only face one outcome: being destroyed along with its existence by those Two-digit beings, leaving nothing behind.

"Then I have a suggestion: you could place the fictionalized mythology within the generation of the Sea of Consciousness where the lives of this planet collectively slumber."

"The Netherworld?"

Su Nian turned his head to glance at Athena; although the Netherworld was very suitable, based on the characteristics of the Netherworld...

Like a dream, the characteristic of being able to teleport anywhere as long as one wishes makes it not a good place to place a mythology.

As for the Divine Realm, that exists in a spatial dimension one layer higher.

"It could also be called the Netherworld, but a more accurate term would be the deep layers."

Athena nodded and explained carefully.

"The consciousness of the God Ancestors when they reincarnate is stored there; it can also be said to be the common storage place for the consciousness of all life."

"Generally speaking, even Divine Spirits still within the Netherworld cannot reach that place."

"Oh? The Inner Sea of the Star?"

Su Nian revealed an expression of realization.

"There is no problem with putting it that way."

Athena nodded slightly.

"Then it is quite easy; one only needs to construct a mythology located in the Inner Sea of the Star where Divine Spirits slumber."

Su Nian revealed a relaxed smile; this was indeed not difficult for him to achieve.

"I only need to wait until the Mythological Apocrypha is formed, and a single page will suffice."

The Mythological Apocrypha is an artifact Su Nian intends to forge after condensing the Divine Realm of this world—usurped through the Ring of Usurpation—into a 【Mythology】 using the Authorities of 【History】 and 【Writing】.

Then, he will combine the three Authorities of 【History】, 【Mythology】, and 【Writing】 to create this Authority Artifact.

In Su Nian's vision, the 【Mythological Apocrypha】 is similar to the Unofficial History, both capable of arbitrarily modifying history and fictionalizing history.

It is just that the Mythological Apocrypha is more targeted toward mythology, and within Little Garden, it can even be used to permanently adjust the Spirit Status of Gods and Buddhas.

It is an Authority Artifact of a Fictional Historian that integrates amplification, weakening, reduction, rumor-mongering, and Summoning.

Of course, it also has the ability to briefly turn fictional mythology into reality.

This is an artifact forged using all the mythologies of a multiverse; it is only natural that it has such capabilities.

"However, the only problem now is that the distance between Divine Domains is too great; even within a single mythology, there are different Divine Domains."

Speaking of this, Su Nian frowned and said with a hint of trouble.

"Take Japanese Mythology for example; just the Divine Domains alone include Takamagahara and Yomi no Nabari."

"It does not need to be so troublesome; different Divine Domains under the same mythology have connections to one another."

Athena chuckled and said softly.

"You are not a Divine Spirit of this world and have never lived in a Divine Realm, so you are not clear about the connections between them."

"To use a more vivid analogy, a mythology is a world, and the different Divine Domains are merely different islands on this world."

"As long as your target is the entire mythological world, then you don't need to worry about the issue of Divine Domains."

As she spoke, Athena raised her head to look at Su Nian and said.

"Moreover, with your current power, it won't take many days to usurp the entire mythological world."

"If my estimates are correct, at the latest within Three Heavens, the Phoenician Mythology world can be completely usurped."

"And rather than worrying about this, you should worry about how to usurp other mythologies."

Athena laughed and reminded Su Nian.

"Like Greek Mythology, you can complete the usurpation through me; you can do it for Celtic Mythology, but what about the other mythologies?"

"Aren't there still those Godslayers?"

As he spoke, Su Nian narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

"However, there is no need to rush such things, and don't you all have multiple Spirit Statuses?"

"After one mythology is usurped, just change their Spirit Statuses and it will be done."

"Just like Verethragna; he is the War God of Persian Mythology, but he is also the Indian Heavenly Emperor Indra."

"It is perfectly possible to use one god for multiple purposes, isn't it?"

The only drawback is that the efficiency of this is truly too low, with only one water outlet.

Moreover, one swimming pool must be finished before the next one can be filled.

Hearing Su Nian's description, Athena narrowed her eyes and calculated carefully.

"In that case, I alone am enough, though it might take over a year in terms of time."

"It might invite a massive backlash."

After all, as a Trinity sublime goddess, Athena has avatars in many mythologies, and all of them occupy high positions.

However, her status is highest in Greek Mythology.

"Then let's choose the Godslayers; staying in this world for a year is still a bit torturous."

Su Nian yawned and said with some exhaustion.

At least in a sense, Godslayers are subordinates of the Ring of Usurpation; one only needs to slightly modify the data of the Ring of Usurpation on them.

Hearing this, Athena looked at Su Nian with slight helplessness.

"I hope that when you face those Godslayers this time, you won't be as slow as you were with Pandora."

Athena was complaining about Su Nian's slow behavior toward Pandora.

"Rest assured, with the experience from last time, I can completely hack into the spell formula of the Ring of Usurpation on them through Magical Technology this time."

At this moment, Su Nian said with a smile.

"This time, it will absolutely not exceed three seconds."

"Then just now..."

Athena's expression was a bit subtle at this moment.

Since you are able to hack into others' bodies, why were you still like that... toward Pandora?

Sensing Athena's subtle gaze, Su Nian said with a straight face.

"I was just accumulating some experience for the first time, and I also wanted to study the goddess's body Structure Level."

"You can explain this reason to Pandora yourself."

Athena looked at Su Nian and then said quite irritably.

"However, since you want to study the goddess's body Structure Level so much, don't you want to study the body Structure Level of a Heretic god?"

Athena stared straight at Su Nian with her pitch-black Snake eyes and said, gently licking her lips.

That her ally, or rather the one she relies on, likes beauty is not bad news for her.

She had almost thought Su Nian was the type who had no desires and only pursued pleasure.

To think he could actually hold himself back when facing beauty like Algol's, which even she felt was cheating.

This made her very suspicious of Su Nian's sexual orientation.

As the goddess of wisdom, Athena is very clear about her situation; her life is currently in Su Nian's hands.

Yet she has no bargaining chips to be on equal footing with Su Nian.

To Su Nian, she is probably just a useless pawn that can be discarded at any time.

Perhaps her only value is to be a substitute for that Athena, and then be targeted because she is simultaneously a counterpart to her and Heavenly Lord Algol?

Athena really dislikes this feeling of her fate not being in her own control.

It easily makes her recall how she was bullied by those Steel Heroes who plundered her Divinity.

Metis's Divinity was devoured, and Medusa's Divinity was beheaded.

That sense of powerlessness is something she does not want to experience a second time.

Moreover, Athena is very greedy, after witnessing the stage in Little Garden that truly belongs to the Asura Gods and Buddhas.

Especially after seeing the battle record of the other Athena.

She no longer looks down on the conditions she previously reached with Su Nian; she also wants to become a high and lofty God King.

She also wants to walk step by step toward the highest!

Why can the other Athena do it, but she cannot?

If possible, she even wants to replace that Athena and become the Fourth Generation God King of the Greek God Group in Little Garden.

What is the point of being a God King of Greece in this world? If one is to do it, one should be the master of a God Group!

Of course, she also knows that this is almost impossible for her to achieve; the gap between her and the other Athena is simply too large.

This is equivalent to a mayfly compared to the blue sky.

But one must have dreams; what if they come true?

And the first step now is to raise her status in Su Nian's heart, from a toy used to amuse Algol to Su Nian's toy!

She, Yadaina, also has ambition!!

Of course, Su Nian was also quite curious about the body Structure Level of Heretic gods.

Finally, he reached a conclusion.

"The taste of a Heretic god is truly not bad."
