Within the special domain supported by the Tome of All Spells, Selene quickly fell into meditation amid the fragrance of incense.
Without the anticipated heart-stopping excitement, without the sudden appearance of black-clad figures locking her away, Selene’s first journey to the Spirit Realm in her divine life was surprisingly ordinary.
Guided by her close friend, the Moon Goddess’s spiritual body observed the crescent moon in the first layer of the Spirit Realm. Like Hecate, Selene, being divine in essence, possessed potential far beyond that of ordinary beings. It was almost immediately after truly mastering meditation that she inscribed the lunar phase onto her spiritual body.
What was different from Hecate was that as the Moon Goddess, Selene vaguely felt a sense of completion. Her intuition told her that if she could inscribe all seven lunar phases onto her spiritual body, she would follow some mysterious connection and resonate with the seven crescent moons in the Spirit Realm.
As for what this resonance would cause, she had no idea.
“Look, Hecate, I did it!”
After spinning around in the clearing, streams of water turned into ribbons, dancing in the air and winding around the arms and waist of the Moon Goddess. This was the first time that Selene had influenced nature by means other than divine power. Although the force was still weak, she could see the direction for improvement.
“Mmm-hmm”
A soft hum indicated understanding. Hecate remembered that she was even happier than Selene the first time she cast a spell. After all, Selene had divine power to use before, but she did not.
No, more accurately, she almost didn’t have any, but there was still a bit.
“This is just a small application, I will show you—”
She was ready to stir up a small tsunami to impress her younger sister. Suddenly, however, Hecate turned her gaze southeast, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
“That was fast, have they found me already?”
“Stele, how did you know that Golden Mane could deal with Metis?”
Somewhat surprised, Hecate, although not fond of the well-known Goddess of Wisdom, still acknowledged her intelligence.
She did not expect that in just a few months, Zeus would have dealt with her and then came knocking at her door.
[Perhaps it’s because Zeus has a knack for dealing with goddesses, that must be his talent.]
“Lady Hecate, since you already know of my origins, you must also understand the responsibility I bear.”
“My siblings are still imprisoned by my tyrannical father. Although I escaped, ever since the day I learned the truth, there hasn’t been a moment when I haven’t longed to rescue them.”
“I need your help,” Zeus said to the red-haired witch before him, his expression genuine, “If I can save my siblings and overthrow my cruel Father God, I am willing to swear an oath upon the Styx River to grant you the power you deserve.”
However, Hecate was clearly not swayed by Zeus’s words. She cared not for power, for she would not allow it to constrain her. The moment she was cast aside by the current Divine King marked her destiny to go against the mainstream Deity Race.
After all, Zeus was not yet the Divine King, and his current promises were nothing more than empty words.
‘Empty words,’ an interesting choice of words, and at this moment, Hecate found it quite fitting of Zeus’s attitude.
“Promising the future as a pledge, yet you still might not be the one from the Prophecy, Zeus.”
She waved her hand dismissively, but the idea of troubling the Divine King was genuinely intriguing to her.
“However, if you can promise me one thing, I might indeed help you once, provided that you don’t plan on having me join you in your assault on the Divine King.”
Though Hecate thought that Metis would never come up with such a ludicrous idea, she made her stance clear beforehand.
She only intended to beat the drums from the sidelines and make the detestable Divine King suffer a loss, not to confront him directly.
Her power was still too weak, and even with the myriad utilities of the Book of All Laws, she couldn’t last a few moves in front of that sovereign.
“Of course, I am not so presumptuous. The strength of my father is well known among the gods.”
Shaking his head, Zeus asked, “Then may I know, what is your request?”
“I want the Moon in the Sky. From now on, it will be mine, no longer your concern.”
“I want you to swear on the Styx River and the Spirit Realm, that for whatever reason, you shall not retract your promise to me.”
With some clarity, Zeus glanced at the Moon goddess hiding at Hecate’s side. Undoubtedly, a minor celestial body like that was of no concern to Hecate; she was merely securing this right for her friend.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the two goddesses, Zeus solemnly promised:
“No problem, Lady Hecate. If I can defeat my father and become the new lord of both the Earth and the Sky, then from that point on, the Moon in the night sky, as well as its surrounding dominion, will belong to you.”
