He was a prophet, wielding the power of foresight. However, this did not mean that Prometheus's power was necessarily flawless.
His prophecies were obtained through the power of wisdom, not through fate, yet the power of prophecy was governed by the God of Fate.
This was why Nyx could influence him.
If he used the thread of fate Nyx gave him well, his divine position would surely receive a massive boost.
He could even use this thread to forge a divine artifact, and then he would certainly become the most... God in this world.
Prometheus's resentment towards Nyx for using him to test Mobius disappeared.
After all, countless Gods had acted on behalf of an existence like Nyx; being used by her was an honor, an opportunity other Gods didn't even have! A hint of a smile appeared in Prometheus's heart.
Nyx's lips, hidden behind her veil, curved into a smile as she said to Mobius, "Congratulations on making the right choice."
Mobius was a bit puzzled and asked softly, "What do you mean, Lord Nyx? What do your words mean?"
Nyx smiled and said, "Haven't I made it clear? Gods can obtain divine positions, but not with the primary goal of subverting the world's order."
"No matter what, the world's order cannot be subverted, just like..." Nyx paused, as if she had thought of something, then changed the subject, "Order is the most important thing for a world. Perhaps the current order is not the best, but it is certainly the most stable."
"The intertwining of new and old orders will bring about a change in the position of God King."
"Mobius, you are the God in the prophecy, but your power is not enough to initiate a new change. Since Zeus knows about this, then what happens in the prophecy will be decided by you."
Zeus was startled and continued, "Lord Nyx, I didn't think much of it, because I know that the Law of Fertility is one of the most important powers for me to become God King."
"The previous two generations of God Kings were abandoned by the world because they violated the Law of Fertility, so how could I make such a simple mistake?" Hearing Zeus say this, Nyx nodded and said, "Order is the most important. It will give our world stability. Then, Eros will also be reborn in a stable order."
"Such an Eros will be more peaceful, do you know? My dear Zeus and Mobius." Nyx's voice was still mysterious and ethereal, "Alright, since you, Mobius, have passed my test, I will bestow new power upon you. Do you want it?"
Zeus looked at Mobius with an unreadable expression, a hint of contemplation in his eyes. Mobius was the God of prophecy, but he would no longer be the God of prophecy, because his next divine offspring was about to be born, and thus he would lose this special 'blessing'.
Mobius was stunned; he didn't know what to say.
As the dahlia bloomed, Mobius nodded and said, "I am willing, dear Lord Nyx, thank you for your bestowal."
"Please bestow upon me the divine position you wish to give me." Nyx smiled and said, "How clever, Mobius. Do you know what divine position I want to give you? What if it's a divine artifact?"
Mobius said earnestly, "If it were a divine artifact, then Your Lordship would not have come in person. I believe many people would be willing to serve you, willing to come to me for you, rather than coming directly before me as you are now."
Mobius's words made Nyx laugh heartily and say, "Truly worthy of Mobius! This is the first God in tens of thousands of years to be praised by older sister; even Metis before him didn't receive a single word of praise from older sister."
"When the power of War Dance appeared on you, I was observing you." Nyx moved her finger, and the aura of fate enveloped Mobius. The next second, the divine position of War Dance appeared.
Mobius's pupils contracted. What was going on? Why could Nyx make him form a divine position?
Aphrodite and Ares, far away in the Love Pantheon and War Pantheon, felt a new power forming and said in unison, "Truly worthy of Mobius!"
"The War Dance should, by rights, be a divine position mastered after Aphrodite is born, because my older sister, Mother Earth Gaia, collected all the power of love and beauty," Nyx's eyes held a hint of doubt, "But you, you gained this power before Aphrodite was born."
"Do you know how excited I was then? The power of desire fell into dormancy, and my older sister, dear Mother Earth Gaia, shared most of her power with Aphrodite."
"Furthermore, because of Zeus, the world's elemental energy was depleted to the extreme. Among the lives born in these tens of thousands of years, almost no one could master the power of love and beauty. But you, of all people, mastered it, which truly astonished me. After that, I kept observing you. Do you know why?"
Mobius paused, then shook his head and said, "I don't know." Nyx said, "Because I want my children to follow you. What do you think, Mobius? Are you surprised? Your Lordship's children." Mobius couldn't help but take a step back, a bit at a loss: "Yes, my children, Sleep God Hypnos and Death God Thanatos." "These... Aren't these two Lords always by Lord Hades's side? Hades."
Nyx smiled and said, "Yes, I originally wanted them to follow Hades, so they could become stronger. But when I found you, I changed my mind. I found that you might be more suitable to be the main God for my children."
Mobius stammered, "Why, Your Lordship, would you entrust your so-called children to me?"
Nyx said with a radiant smile, "That's because you have the qualifications, of course. I value your power. You might think your power isn't strong enough, but I am optimistic about your future potential. Fate is unpredictable, yet it has its constants and variables, which is very important to me."
"And you will also become the most... I'm entrusting my children to you. Originally, I wanted to wait until... the very beginning to do so, but I'm already eager to let my children escape from suffering, escape from suffering." Nyx was mumbling when she said this, like the crazy old woman Mobius encountered in his previous life.
Mobius repeated the sentence strangely, "What does that mean, Your Lordship? Do you know who the very first Gods in the world were?" Mobius was a bit puzzled: "Are you five Original Gods?"
Nyx smiled and nodded, "Yes, but don't you think this world was too monotonous at the very beginning?" Mobius silently looked at Nyx, wanting to hear something from her.
But Nyx did not delve deeper into the topic; instead, she continued, "Lord Mobius, my children, Sleep God Hypnos and Death God Thanatos, were originally one... God."
"How is that possible... one God." Zeus, beside them, was the first to exclaim, "How is that possible?"
"Why not?" Nyx retorted.
"That's too... hard to accept. How could they be the same one? That's truly exaggerated." Zeus said.
Sleep God Hypnos and Death God Thanatos, their powers didn't seem strong, and they were even mocked.
However, their combined power was incredibly strong, without flaws; they could make Gods fall into eternal slumber.
If too many Gods fell into slumber, it would even shake the world's further possibilities. Every God, no, every Source God, is the most important thing to the world.
"If they easily fall into slumber, such a thing is truly terrifying." Fear flashed in Prometheus's eyes. If he knew about such a thing, what conditions would they have to agree to later?
He didn't believe that Nyx kept them just to be Mobius's foil, making Mobius look more stunning.
The original Death God, if he wanted, could make all the Gods in the world fall into an unending sleep. Of course, this referred to Gods similar to him.
But even so, the world still could not tolerate the existence of such a God, because if Gods slept, the world would have no future. This is why Death God and Sleep God were divided into two.
Their power was too strong, and no one could restrain them.
Without a balancing force, this world would not last long.
Nyx looked at the three unsettled Gods in front of her, nodded, and said, "It seems you have guessed it. Yes. My children were feared by the world because of this, so... so do you understand?" Nyx stared at Mobius and said.
"Do you understand why I have such great sorrow? This is my sorrow."
"Alright, Mobius. You are someone I value, and I am optimistic about your future. I am entrusting my children to you, hoping you can lead them out of the world's shackles, and they will be your greatest reward." Nyx said.
"Now?" Mobius looked at Nyx with some confusion.
Nyx said as if looking at a fool, "Right now, you are just a weaker God. Even if I wanted to make you the main God of Hypnos and them now, I believe Hypnos would not be willing. After all, Hypnos and their rank are a bit higher than yours."
"Once you become a God of intermediate divine power, then Hypnos and Thanatos will become your subordinate Gods, and I will become your protector from behind. You can also do whatever you want on Olympus." Nyx's words were full of temptation.
ps: I'm very sorry, I was a bit hesitant about the plot here, so the second chapter was already finished, but I felt it wasn't quite right, so I deleted a part of it and added it to this chapter, making it 3000 words. I'll make up for it with another chapter tomorrow, I'm really sorry, I'm not very satisfied with the plot.
