The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

"Are they in hell?" William blurted out.

"Of course. And, I smell them from you." Cadmus, who is called the Demon King by ordinary people, is actually just the gatekeeper at the entrance of hell. At this moment, he is looking at William meaningfully. , said.

"I have their smell on me?" William was startled, and regardless of the hell he was in, he directly ordered to the magic mirror, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, carefully detect me and see what's on me. Something unusual?"

"Master, master, there is nothing abnormal on your body." The magic mirror truthfully reported its detection results and shook the air.

Before William could react, Cadmus, the Gatekeeper of Hell, let out a light snort, hooked his hand, and he took the magic mirror in William's arms.

I saw a golden glow flashing in Cadmus' eyes, and then I heard him say, "Interesting, the Distorted Mirror. It's just a defective product. Do you know who its original owner is?"

"I've heard that it's rumored that it's a big devil who used to...for his own selfish desires..." William didn't go on. Since even the Lord of the Holy Light is the original God of Light, Apollo, is the big devil really a devil? ?

("Twisting Mirror" is from "The Snow Queen" in "Andersen's Fairy Tales"!)

Even a descendant of a god like Cadmus, a legendary hero and aristocrat, has become the so-called demon king of hell, the gatekeeper in today's folk rumors!

Then the real identity of this big devil is very suspicious.

"You're very smart." Cadmus saw William's hesitation at a glance, and gave William an admiring look. William felt as if he was being stared at by a giant beast, and his heart couldn't be controlled. It's been beating all the time, this feeling has not appeared for a long time.

William looked calm.

The color of admiration on Cadmus's face became stronger and stronger, and he said, "That is a god who enjoys a great reputation and boundless power on Mount Olympus, and then under the eulogy of the common people, he was unexpectedly He is said to be a great devil, but he has also truly become a great devil, hehe..."

"Just like me."

At the end, Cadmus's mouth was full of sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" William asked puzzled.

Maybe it was because of seeing a relationship of the same kind, or maybe it was for other reasons, Cadmus was very enthusiastic about William, and he gave very detailed answers.

Cadmus did not answer William's question directly,

Instead, he said, "Do you know the difference between primitive gods and ordinary gods?"

"???" William looked at Cadmus suspiciously, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"The original gods are the incarnations of the nature of the heavens and the earth. They have existed from ancient times and will last forever, just like the first generation of gods, Uranus, the god of the sky. He is the incarnation of the sky. When he came in a tangible form At that time, he was the first generation of god king, and when he returned to the sky, he was a pure concept, spanning endless time and space."

"Ordinary gods are deeply dependent on faith, either because of fear or dependence. The gods affect the believers, and the believers in turn affect the gods, so they cannot achieve true detachment." Cadmus said.

"Just like Zeus in the past, he is the god of thunder, the lord of the sky, and the king of the gods. Among his powers are the sky, thunder and power, but he cannot be equated with these powers."

"Compared to the original gods, He still has enough gaps to rely on faith. This is their anchor, the anchor to resist the erosion of authority." Cadmus said indifferently.

"So, what do you mean?" William said.

"When mortals think he is a god, a god-king, then he is!"

"But what if mortals think they're just a bunch of demons?" Cadmus asked William.

William was silent for a long time before he said, "You mean, this is where the devils in hell come from."

"In the ancient age of the gods, everything in the world was related to the gods. Even the Underworld, there were only monsters full of destructive desires, but no devils!"

"Only when Apollo took the position of the fourth-generation god-king and ended the age of the gods, did demons appear in Hades! What do you think?" Cadmus said meaningfully.

"Why? Why did Apollo do this?" William asked inexplicably, "Because he became the king of gods, it doesn't mean that he needs to drive other gods into the mortal world!"

William has accepted that Apollo is the so-called Lord of Light, but he cannot understand the behavior of the Lord of Light.

With a few more younger brothers on errands, even if they fight, they will have the upper hand.

"Because Apollo's ambition is greater than that of Zeus. He is not willing to be an ordinary god, but wants to be a primitive god, and not an ordinary primitive god. He wants to be an omniscient and omnipotent creation primitive god." Card Moss said to William.

His grandmother sneered beside him.

As for the lucky son who was turned into an ant, he has passed out and cannot hear the secrets of this world.

"Omniscience? Creation?" William murmured.

"You can tell by looking at his teachings. Generally speaking, teachings are the anchors set by a god in the world!" Cadmus said.

William fell into silence again. He recalled the teachings of the Lord of the Holy Light, and he was indeed promoting that he is omniscient and omnipotent and created the world in six days.

"When He really achieves this step, he will travel upstream through time and traverse all the tributaries of time. From the beginning to the end, the trajectory of the world will be the same as He preached. What He said is true, and ours Existence is nothingness, like a bubble! Just like a dream!"

"So, will you see him succeed?" Cadmus said to William, and in this respect they were all in the same boat.

"Can He really do it? Omniscient and omnipotent?" William had the confidence of another world, so he didn't feel too scared in his heart, but frowned and asked.

"Who knows? Maybe in the infinite time, Apollo really became an all-knowing and omnipotent existence, and we became phantoms..."

"However, something must be done to hinder His plan!"

"Just like what Zeus and the others did!"

"Zeus... Are those gods in hell?" William raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, of the twelve main gods on Mount Olympus, only seven survived in the end, sheltered under Tartatos!" Cadmus said.

"Seven? Could it be?"

"Yes, the Seven Monarchs of Hell!"
