Chapter 9
Seeing Apollo's interest, Hecate was happy, and she was about to go on when Asteria hurriedly interrupted her.
"Little Apollo killed Python and wants to hide from Hera for a while. You can talk later, but find a place for him to stay first."
"Python, that ugly snake?" Hecate was a little surprised. "I've seen him before. Although he looks very annoying, his strength is still good. Did Apollo kill him?"
The girl's eyes were full of surprise.
"Little Apollo is very powerful. If you don't work hard, you will be surpassed by him." Asteria knocked her head once more.
The girl pouted, but she did not reply.
She was a god with a very strong bloodline talent who was born at the end of the reign of the second-generation king of gods, Cronus. She should have reached the realm of the main god long ago.
However, she was obsessed with the study of magic, and her body often had various problems. As a result, most of her power was used to repair injuries and her progress was slow. That was why she was only at the peak of the upper god realm right now.
"Alright, I'll keep him company. At the same time, I will pause my research and breakthrough to the main god realm." Hecate spoke very casually.
She was completely unaware that the main god realm was a heavenly rift for most gods that could not be crossed in a lifetime.
For her, it was a small goal that could be achieved as long as she wanted to.
The corners of Asteria's mouth twitched. She was actually at the peak of the upper god realm, but the mediocre power of her bloodline made it almost impossible for her to reach the main god realm.
Seeing that her daughter didn't take the realm of the main god seriously at all, she felt both uncomfortable and proud.
Hecate pointed to the void, and the surrounding walls suddenly opened, revealing an elegantly furnished room.
"Apollo, you can stay here. The room I created with transformation magic is very comfortable."
Apollo was very amazed by Hecate's abilities as he looked at the room in admiration.
Greek gods were not immortals from the East who had all the abilities once they reached the realm.
The gods only had extraordinary abilities of their godhood. They were not so omnipotent in other aspects.
Apollo had many godhoods, such as light, medicine, and prophecy. If he were to shine, heal, and predict the future, it would not be a problem.
However, if he tried to use some lightning, or attract wind and rain, it would not work because that was the godhood of other gods.
For a moment, Apollo felt the limitations of the power of the gods.
"It seems that I can learn magic from Hecate and make myself a little more versatile…" Apollo pondered.
Suddenly, he remembered his other reason for coming here. He said to the two of them, "I'm going to wander around the island."
"Hmm."
The two of them didn't hear him. They had not seen each other for a long time, so both of them were chatting happily.
Following the signs of the system map, Apollo came to the west side of Rivia Island.
"The treasure chest is in the coral below the beach. It looks like I need to dive." Apollo shook his head. He didn't have the godhood of diving or the ocean.
However, the physique of the gods was very strong, and they did not need to breathe. For them, walking in water was no different from walking on land.
After jumping into the water, he searched for a while.
Finally, he found the systematically marked coral next to a reef, as well as the treasure chest that appeared there.
"I wonder what can be obtained from an advanced treasure chest." Apollo looked forward to opening the advanced treasure chest.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind: "Ding, you have opened an advanced treasure chest, and obtained: Divine Source Crystal x130, Divine Art Pure White Flame (Two-star), Arago Continent's Grand Magician Enhancement."
Apollo was stunned.
There was no need to mention the Divine Origin Crystals because basically every treasure chest had them.
What stunned him was the Divine Art Pure White Flame that was marked as two stars. It had to be known that the vision of the sun was only one star and it could easily kill Python, who was in the upper god realm.
The power of a two-star divine art was stronger than the vision of the sun.
But what was the 'Arago Continent's Grand Magician Enhancement'?
Suddenly, he remembered that there was a dungeon world called 'Arago Continent' in the game. The main occupation of that world was a magician and the top magicians could even fight against gods as mortals.
"I just wanted to learn magic from Hecate, but now I have it?"
As Apollo's thoughts spun, a large amount of information suddenly appeared in his mind. Purification, Transformation, Teleportation, Alchemy, Petrification, Divination, Necromancy…
Thousands of spells appeared in his mind.
If an ordinary person obtained so much information at once, he was bound to become an idiot.
Fortunately, Apollo had the body of a god. He only felt a little pain in his head.
After a while, he came back to his senses.
Feeling the vast knowledge of magic in his mind, Apollo suddenly said solemnly: "So the so-called magic is like this. Maybe I can understand the fundamental source of the power of the gods."
At this moment, the surrounding sea formed a huge whirlpool and huge waves tumbled and surged.
Apollo's golden eyes burst into brilliant light, and he coldly asked, "Who are you?"
A burly blue figure with a giant sword on his back slowly emerged from the endless sea.
Looking at Apollo, he grinned and said, "You are the son of Leto. To think you were hiding with Hecate. If you had stayed on the island, I really couldn't do anything about you, but it's a pity that you went into the sea yourself."
"The ocean is my world. I am Achelous, son of the Oceanus, the god of whirlpools. By the will of the gods, I will grant you eternal slumber!"
Achelous laughed heartily. He opened his arms and activated his boundless divine power. The endless seawater around him suddenly turned into a monstrous vortex that enveloped Apollo.
The entire ocean couldn't help but tremble as the vortex spun.
