The Styx River is one of the foundations of the world that flows under the dark earth.

If the ancient goddess Frena had not fallen voluntarily, there would never be any vitality here. The falling goddess gave birth to a dark divine system with the Styx. When the gods were fighting, the three sons went to the earth, and only the young son stayed between the goddess' skirt.

This is not to love his young son, but to his brothers, the little red fish is more like his father. He has no divine nature, no life or death, and no unnecessary feelings. The goddess's skirt is His entire heaven and earth, and everything on the earth is very far away from Him.

Even destruction has nothing to do with Him.

The little red fish is always dreaming, and all dreams are prophecies. He dreamed more than once that the rain of fire fell from the sky to destroy the earth. He had done such dreams thousands of times. When he found that all dreams pointed to this result, the little red fish opened his eyes and saw His mother.

【The world will be destroyed.】

He spoke of the prophecy of the world.

[Mother, recalling brothers, the ground is no longer safe.]

However, the goddess just smiled sadly, then slowly shook her head. His eyes were distant and he bet deeply affectionately on the earth.

[I have already recalled them.] The goddess said, [But they do not want to come back.]

The goddess' children love the creatures on the earth and choose to live and die with those creatures.

[I don't understand.] Little Red Fish was confused, [What exactly is there for those creatures that deserve to be attached to?]

He is indeed like his father, as the world's security device, operating completely indifferently.

The goddess pulled the hem of the skirt, and among the undulating waves, He held his youngest child in his palm.

【You see.】

He pointed out the little red fish to see the souls wandering in the wasteland. Some of them were fresh and had a faint light on their bodies, which made them look holy. The little red fish stared at the lights in a daze. This was the first time he saw them. He almost never looked up at the water.

[Those souls are the souls of heroes.]

[Those lights are the crown of heroes.]

[Among the thousands of creatures, such a glowing person will always be born. Just staring at them, and even God will not be able to help but feel joy.]

The little red fish looked down and glanced at the glowing elves surrounding him. The goddess's laughter fell from above His head.

[No, my child, that light was not emitted by the elves, and their souls were naturally shining. Your brothers, they also have elves to accompany you, but even if the elves leave, they can still shine because the crown of heroes is worn on their heads.]

The little red fish shook his empty head, he had no crown, and this discovery made him feel disheartened.

He raised his head, broke free from his mother's hand, and fell into the Styx River. The gauze-like fish tail was circling around him, and he swam to a certain shore without looking back. On the shore was a glowing soul, with his head hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking.

[Can you give me your crown?] The little red fish emerged from the Styx and looked at the soul. The soul had platinum-colored hair with a light tone, and the eyes like sky were always filled with haze. He lowered his eyes to the little red fish in the water, and his eyelashes moved.

"Why?"

The little red fish was so angry that it was overwhelming in the water.

"My crown and my light are because I made a prophecy of the world and I was alone in pursuing the prophecy for the world and struggled for the world until the end." The soul spoke slowly, but the little red fish was very angry when he heard it for no reason.

【Are you showing off to me?】

"You misunderstood, I am expressing my sincere contempt for you."

【…】

The little red fish is about to be angry, and He must have the crown of this soul.

[I'll exchange with you, humans.] The water of the Styx surrounds his body, allowing the little Red Fish to find some confidence to be at home. [What do you want? I can even bring you back from the dead, as long as you give me the crown.]

[You may still have a little bit of your life nature and obsession, and in a while, you will not remember anything.]

“…resurrected from the dead?”

[Yes!] The little red fish shook its tail proudly, [It is okay to keep the memory, aren't you very sorry? I can let you resurrect with the prophecy of the world destruction. You still have a lifetime to work for it, but the price is just a hero's crown.]

"It sounds like you don't seem to care about the destruction of the world?"

The little red fish showed a look that truly belonged to God. No, maybe it was a more indifferent than God. It was a look that belonged to the "equipment".

[Whether the world is destroyed or not is not under my jurisdiction. My mission is to make the Styx flow backwards when the world is about to collapse. Then everything will come back from the beginning. The new world rises from the Styx, and all things in the world will be reborn again.]

[Even if you agree to the transaction, I will delete this memory for you. This is not something that humans should know.]

The soul looked at the little red fish in the Styx with a strange look.

"It sounds like... you are really... supernatural."

His tone was gentle and he repeated it again.

"It's really...the supernatural powers..."

"I have changed my mind. I am willing to trade with you and be willing to give you the crown of heroes."

【Really? Then I will revive you immediately!】

"No, what I want to trade is something else." The soul smiled at the little red fish, "You are so powerful that I feel respectful. Can I... touch you piously?"

This is much easier than resurrection from the dead. Although it is a little risky to leave the Styx,... the little red fish really wants that crown. Although this person is a little annoying, it is not that bad. After receiving the touch, he will give him an extra mercy to resurrection. This is his magnanimity as the Son of the Goddess.

【Yes, you touch it, the tail is not allowed, the head is not allowed, you can touch my fin…】

The little red fish floated up from the Styx, stretched out a fish fin like an almsgiving, and the soul stretched out his hand to Him, and then—

He held Him in his hand!

【!!!】

The soul didn't even hesitate for a second and began to run towards the glowing gate where souls kept pouring in. He knew clearly that he was blasphemy and that the last soul might even be crushed, but this is probably the last hope of the world that is about to be destroyed.

[Are you crazy? Do you want to even your soul to be crushed?!] The little red fish had a headache from his hand, almost cursing, and his fish tail also broke free, slapping the back of the crazy man's hand.

【Let go! I can't leave the Styx!】

"Crowns cannot be obtained by trading. Even if I give them to you, you will just have one."

"It's far from being a hero."

Little Red Fish's body trembled because of anger. At this moment, He completely forgot that he was an "equipment" and that his mission was enough to wait for the world to be destroyed. He only knew that this human with a hero's crown was really looking down on Him!

【What do you know?!You...】

"At least I have fought for this world, it's better than you just know that you're hiding in the Styx."

The black-armored guard of the Styx came up to stop the human soul that had robbed the goddess's young son, but was swept to the side by the little red fish's tail. Leaving the Styx greatly weakened the power of the goddess' young son, but never like this moment, He seemed to have completely burned.

[I will prove it to you! I can get the crown too!]

The River Styx surged, but the goddess's skirt was intercepting it in the middle. Little Red Fish looked at her father and mother, and then turned back immediately.

[You will also resurrect me and see with your own eyes how I got the crown!]

He swept the annoying human soul into the door with his tail, and then shouted in the direction of the goddess.

[Mother, I will bring my brothers back! I will bring the crown back too!]

Then, He also rushed into the door, and the soul had risen very high, but He soon caught up. Seeing the dead roots of fate gathered under the earth, He regretted it. This was the gray earth destined to be destroyed, and even He could not reverse the scene he saw in his dream.

Then - cut it!

The vertical axis of gold emerged before Him. He was the actual controller of the Styx and could mobilize the power of time and space flowing in the Styx. So He gritted his teeth and used his tail tip to shift the time axis that marked the rain of fire to the front. Many fateful events suddenly crowded and stacked together. However, such actions left a blank for thousands of years after the rain of fire. The blank is the opportunity to breathe. What will be destroyed will not be the world, but just an era.

After doing these things, the little red fish breathed a long sigh of relief. He was so tired that he still remembered to save the life of the hateful witness. He swam forward, and the gauze-like tail surrounded the human soul, waving like flames, as if burning. He looked out of the way for a while, and He had been as turbulent as the Styx, and it turned out that there were times when he was burning.

He sensed that he was touching the boundaries, and He closed his eyes.

His fire ignited the grey earth.

In the conservation center, an unprecedented colorful burst out of the body of the pupil! Countless light bands were wrapped around him. He was experiencing violent expansion and contraction. The instruments had all collapsed and could no longer record his values. Finally, the black and white pupil was covered with a layer of gray, and the shell began to harden. With the crisp sound of shattering, the top of the pupil was pecked open from the inside by a sharp beak, and the white bird broke out of the shell and made a long cry to the sky.

He has been recognized by the fire and the three pillars are about to return to his throne.

I seemed to be at the ruins of Beizhu City. He pressed his chest and looked at the floating black sun.

"After all, it's just a clumsy copy." He said softly, a slight smile revealing from the tips of his eyes. He took a deep breath and respectfully knelt on one knee in a certain direction.

"I am a god."

Hergodon also bowed his head deeply to express his respect for the gods. Then they raised their heads together and watched the white birds flying from the sky peck at the Black Sun. After a while of resistance, the black Sun completely dispersed. The perch swallowed a huge amount of dark power and roared again.

The various arrangements of the temple finally made wedding dresses for the takeoff of the branches.

In the center of the temple, the slander god who used Theo's body changed his face, and he looked at Arecio in surprise.

"you……"

"You pulled God out first." Arecio said softly, "Of course, I won't lose the price like you, and I still need to do it myself."

He raised his deep rose-colored eyes and looked at the Saint. It happened that the other party was also looking at him. With his dignified and holy appearance, he could never imagine the dog-like spirit inside. Aresio smiled, and he opened his arms to the other party, and the Saint immediately hugged him.

"Arecius." Ruzius hung his eyelashes. He did not have the joy of victory at this moment. He knew that Arecius's special identity, but he did not think that the other party would be the youngest son of the goddess. God was bound by the Goddess's alliance. The fate of the God of Slander led to Arecius's follow-up. He instinctively felt ominous.

The divine power above his head was still under heavy pressure, but the face of the god of slander was extremely pale.

When God vs. God, he is only good at playing tricks behind his back, and has no chance of winning at all, let alone this is the River Styx!

The branches suddenly rose into the sky, the Styx River surged, and the center of all the vortexes gave to the saints God's favor. Arecio, who had closed his right eye and the sword-wrapped rose tattoo was immediately presented intact. This was the divine favor given to him by his mother. Of course, God could not give to another divine favor, so his mother must have other profound meanings.

For example - this sword surrounded by roses!
