The Greek pantheon was in a frenzy of celebration!
However!
The gods of the underworld did not participate; they had their own matters to attend to.
At this moment, Aether and Hemera had arrived in the Star Realm. The brother and sister gods, using the power of the Helm of Invisibility, concealed everything, quietly observing their surroundings. After exchanging a glance, they both nodded seriously.
"Open!"
The two gods extended their hands, and with a surge of divine power, a strange rift appeared.
"Roar!"
In an instant, a terrifying roar echoed, and the overwhelming divine power seemed ready to consume everything. In the next moment, two enormous dragon heads emerged and devoured Aether and Hemera completely.
The new gods, who had been celebrating moments ago, were suddenly stunned into silence!
Each one felt as though their hearts had fallen into a void. Shocked, the gods looked up, only to see the light in the sky fading away, replaced by a massive figure that blotted out the heavens.
"That's..."
"That's..."
"Ah!"
Some new gods let out deafening screams, shrieking in terror, and in the next instant, they were so frightened that they bled from all their orifices and died on the spot.
And there were many such new gods, not just one or two. They were all screaming in panic, unable to comprehend what was happening or why. What in the world was going on?
Yet, everything was laid out before them. These new gods, who had survived the Titan War, were now dying in such a bizarre way. It was almost laughable.
But.
"..."
At this moment, all the new gods fell silent. What was this thing? What was it?
"Is that the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon?"
"It must be..."
"But how is that possible?"
"Why?"
"Why would the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon appear here?"
"Ah?"
All the new gods were in complete disbelief. They couldn't fathom why the apocalyptic seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon had appeared. At that moment, they felt nothing but profound despair.
No joke!
Every god knew about the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon, and its appearance signified an apocalyptic crisis. What this meant was all too clear to them.
And now, faced with this reality, how could they not feel fear?
"Gulp~~~"
They swallowed hard, feeling as though death was looming.
"This isn't right! It shouldn't be like this!"
"The seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon signifies the end of the world. But our Mythical World is at its peak right now; it shouldn't appear!"
"Exactly!"
"Why is this happening?"
"Besides..."
"This seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon seems so weak! It feels like it's only at the level of a God-King, right?"
Although the new gods were overwhelmed with shock, they weren't fools. They quickly realized something was off. This didn't add up at all! Not only was the dragon's appearance unusual, but it also seemed far too weak.
"Calm down! No matter what, the three God-Kings will definitely take action. We just need to wait."
"That's right! That's right!"
As a few calmer new gods spoke up, the rest began to regain their composure. Right! Why panic? If the sky is falling, the taller ones will hold it up. Whatever happens, it won't affect us directly.
One by one, the gods calmed down and started observing the situation.
And!
The three God-Kings naturally sensed what was happening, but at this moment, they were too weak to do anything. Even if they wanted to act, they simply couldn't.
Among them!
Poseidon and Zeus were filled with shock. What on earth was happening? Why did the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon appear? For a moment, they wanted to look at Hades.
Um...
No matter what, Hades always had that calm, unflappable expression, giving nothing away. Forget it! Forget it! Looking at him won't help. The main question is, what on earth is going on here?
However!
While the God-Kings were bewildered and the new gods were puzzled, the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon was not confused at all. It opened its seven massive mouths and began devouring the entire Star Realm.
The sun, the moon, and...
One by one, famous stars, and one by one, brilliant star lights were all swallowed up by the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon.
Light and darkness vanished without a trace, and everything seemed to return to a state of chaos. By the time everything returned to normal, the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon had disappeared without a trace.
"Roar!"
All that was left was an ear-piercing roar.
"What just happened?"
"Who knows!"
"What's the deal with this seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon? Was it just hungry and came to eat?"
"I have no idea..."
The new gods were utterly bewildered. This was simply too bizarre! The seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon had suddenly appeared, devoured the Star Realm, and then vanished?
Uh...
How were they supposed to make sense of this? Come on! This situation was clearly beyond comprehension. Even if they wanted to do something, they didn't know what to do!
However!
While they might not understand what had happened, the Mythical World as a whole could not afford to be in the dark. The stars devoured by the red dragon included the Sun, the Moon, and many other important celestial bodies, whose significance to the Star Realm was undeniable.
At this moment, all of them had been completely devoured. The Mythical World now had to repair the damage quickly. This was different from being destroyed, where the essence would remain, and everything could be restored at the press of a button.
But!
Now, it was different. The essence had been consumed entirely, and the Mythical World understood that it had to rapidly restore what had been eaten. Otherwise, the impact on the world would be enormous.
Because of this.
As time passed, everything that had disappeared began to quickly return. However, this restoration was a massive drain on the Mythical World, causing it to gradually weaken.
