Chapter 90: Arena of the Gods, the Battle of Gods Every Three Hundred Years 1
The gods possess an immortal essence and are eternally immortal. This is the memory they have at birth.
However, since the two great wars between Tartarus and Uranus, the god of the sky, the gods have all realized a very critical issue.
Gods are immortal, but their divine bodies can be destroyed.
When one's strength is not strong enough, either the body will be destroyed, or the divine body will be forced to dissipate and return to its original state.
Looking back at the original time, they were unable to walk freely in the world of Chaos. For them who had already been deified, this was a great loss.
Uranus, the sky god, was strong enough, and with Gaia, the earth goddess, he lived for three thousand years. But the other gods didn't necessarily believe they had protection.
At the same time, it was also because of the two great battles in Tartarus that the gods realized the importance of strength.
If you are strong enough, you can survive better.
Therefore, the gods who have heard of Tartarus' deeds, even if the divine power they control is not good at fighting, still want to grow and become stronger quickly.
Especially compared with the gods of the same period, their powers were similar at first, but later there were differences in strength.
After comparison, they are more eager to grow and become stronger quickly.
For example, the god of darkness, Erebus, was born at the same time as the goddess of night, Nyx.
But Nix suddenly reached the peak of divine power at a very early time, while it took him a long time to reach the peak of divine power.
Now, he vaguely felt that his sister, who was of the same origin as him, was about to reach the middle stage of the peak of divine power.
However, he was still a long way from reaching the peak of divine power.
He absolutely didn't believe that the goddess of night, Nyx, didn't have Tartarus' help.
The sky god Uranus was born later and could surpass the three original gods and even threaten them.
This made the Dark God Erebus even more eager to improve his strength.
Seeing the eager expressions of the gods, Tartarus smiled and said, "Many of you should know some ways to speed up your growth, right?"
"The two most obvious ones are: the first, controlling more domains can accelerate growth. The second, perceiving one's true self or comprehending the divine power one controls can also accelerate growth."
At this time, the Goddess of Light, Phoebe, said, "We understand both of the two methods you mentioned, but I've discovered that the first one has a very weak effect on my growth rate."
"We six gods jointly control half of the earth, and then we divide it into six equal parts to control."
"I don't know much about other gods, but my growth rate hasn't improved much. Your Highness Tartarus, why is that?"
Tartarus said truthfully, "It's very simple. The gods control different divine powers and different domains, so the amplification they receive will naturally be different."
"I call gods with a true body natural gods, also known as domain gods. Gods without a true body, whose authority is a concept, are called concept gods."
width. "
"For a Domain God and a Concept God, given a domain of the same size, the Domain God's growth rate will naturally increase more."
"Similarly, we also need to consider the corresponding divine power. For example, Pontus controls the divine power of the ocean. Given the same area of water and space, the increase in his growth rate from the water will naturally exceed the increase from the space.
"You six gods aren't domain gods, but conceptual gods. Even if you control half of the earth, the gains you gain won't be significant. Instead, you should focus on understanding your own divine authority."
"For example, my children, the God of Death and the God of Sleep, don't have domains. They were born after you, but they have now broken through to the middle stage of powerful divine power because they are focused on comprehending their divine authority."
"I understand now. Although Rhea and Themis are both powerful and in the middle stage of divine power like us, their divine power exceeds ours because they are more focused on the understanding of their own divine authority." Thea, the goddess of light, said suddenly.
At this time, the Dark God Erebus spoke up, "Brother Tartarus, are there any other methods? There should be more than just these two."
Tartarus said, "Of course there is another. The third way is to comprehend the world, explore the future, and gain more divine authority."
The gods looked at each other with different expressions.
There is confusion, distress, and helplessness...
The goddess of the passage of time, Rhea, said with some distress, "Respected Lord of the Underworld, you are the most ancient of gods, a great primordial god, and you also control the power of prophecy. You can see the future."
"We cannot see it, and it is even more difficult for us to comprehend new authority from it. Currently, only you have achieved this method."
Tartarus smiled mysteriously: "Rhea, other gods may not be able to do so, but you, who control part of the power of time, can see some of the future."
"After all, time has past moments, present moments, and future moments. Just because you can't see it when you're not strong enough doesn't mean you'll never see it again."
"Thank you for your guidance." Rhea said excitedly.
She controls the passage of time and once tried to use divine power to see the past and the future, but failed and gave up.

But now that Tartarus has said it, it proves that his idea is correct.

If you fail to do so, it's simply because you are not strong enough. You also have the opportunity to explore the future and perhaps realize new authority.
She saw an opportunity to become stronger.
Then, Tartarus continued, "There is a fourth method. It's simple and practical, but it has risks."
"What method?" Hyperion, the god of the sun, asked impatiently.
The other gods also looked at Tartarus expectantly.
In today's chaotic and disorderly world, danger can be seen everywhere.
> Eternal immortality would reduce these dangers.
As long as they can become stronger, the gods are still willing to try.
Tartarus said, "Different gods possess different powers, but the laws and powers they govern overlap. For example, Phoebe, the goddess of light, and Theia, the goddess of light."
"Although they control different powers, they are all powered by the laws of light."
"Phoebe and Thea's understanding of the power of light laws and their methods of application should be different."
"When your perceptions merge with each other, your understanding of the power of the light law will naturally increase rapidly. Your understanding of the divine power you control will also increase rapidly."
"This will naturally accelerate growth. Some are obviously from the same family of laws and can accelerate growth even faster. Some are less obvious, perhaps interconnected, and can also accelerate growth."
"Therefore, strengthening the divine spirit's understanding of the power of laws and increasing its control over divine authority through discussion or battle is the fourth method to accelerate growth, and it is also the simplest and most practical."
"This is the conclusion I reached after fighting Uranus, the god of the sky, twice. Only through battle can one truly understand it. The confrontation of divine powers and the interweaving of the forces of law are extremely helpful in understanding one's own divine power."
"It's just that if you fight, you're naturally prone to getting hurt. That's a risk."
Hearing Tartarus say this, some gods were moved.
Some frowned, some looked confused...
Various emotions appeared in the hearts of the gods.
The only real battle between gods was between Tartarus and Uranus, the god of the sky.
The other gods only quarreled secretly, but no battles took place.
Having witnessed the battle in Tartarus, they dared not fight lightly, as the price they paid was too high.
As for the risks and benefits of fighting, Tartarus is currently the one who understands it best.
As for the other person I know, he has now returned to his original form.
At this time, the Dark God Erebus was thinking: "Sky God Uranus and Earth Mother Gaia can grow rapidly through the authority of the Father God and the Mother God."
"Excluding them, it's no wonder Tartarus's growth rate is significantly faster than that of our other gods. He used all four methods."
"Fighting, the confrontation of divine powers, the interweaving of laws, allowing one to gain a stronger control over the power of laws and a deeper understanding of the divine power they control, this is indeed the simplest way to become stronger, but also the most dangerous."
At this time, the gods were silent.
Fighting is risky, and it's a big risk.
Uranus, the god of the sky, is the best proof.
If he hadn't fought, he would now be as powerful as the four primordial gods.
But after being defeated, he returned to his original form.
However, fighting also has obvious benefits, and the victor Tartarus is the best proof of this.
Although Gaia, the Earth Mother, was at the peak of her divine power, the gods clearly sensed that her power was stronger than Tartarus.
However, in the eyes of the gods, this omniscient Lord of the Underworld may be the most powerful being.
It is possible that fighting will make him grow faster and become stronger in actual combat.
At this point, Tartarus continued, "The risk of divine combat is nothing more than injuries that can hinder growth. Minimizing injuries will naturally compensate for this risk."
"As more gods grow stronger, the world of Chaos will naturally grow faster and become more complete. As a primordial god who controls half of the world, I have a responsibility to contribute to Chaos."
"Everyone, I'll be waiting for you in the southern part of the underworld."
After saying this, Tartarus disappeared.
"What's the meaning?"
Although he was confused, the God of Darkness, Erebus, acted quickly.
As Tartarus disappeared, his figure instantly merged into the darkness.
The space fluctuated, and Kronos, the god of space, disappeared.

The fire flickered, and Hyperion, the god of the sun, left sparks on the spot and disappeared.

Several gods who control light are also the fastest.
Flashing, it flew rapidly towards the south of the underworld...
At that moment, the gods used their own methods to fly towards the southern underworld...
Currently, Acheron, the river of pain in the east, is controlled by Charon, the ferryman of the Styx.
The Western River of Forgotten, Let, is controlled by the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne.
> The central oath-keeping river, Styx, surrounds the central temple of the underworld.
The northern river of lamentation, Quetzal, will affect the minds of the gods, making them feel hopeless and depressed. The damage is not too strong, and occasionally gods will go there to watch.
The southern river of fire, Qiuli Plagdon, possesses an inextinguishable underworld flame.
Its destructive power is no less than that of the sun's fire, and even gods will suffer great trauma.
Therefore, the gods rarely approach the River Styx.
Currently, the Qilipulegdon River in the south is considered the river with the lowest presence in the underworld.
At this time, the underworld is at the southernmost part.
Not far from the River of Fire, Qiulipuguton, a huge stone building has appeared.
This was created by Tartarus based on his memories of his previous life, but its area is much larger than that of an ordinary building.
It is even considered the largest building in Chaos at present.
It is similar to the Roman Colosseum enlarged ten million times.
It is majestic and magnificent, exuding a solemn and heavy feeling of killing.
It didn't take Tartarus long to create the underworld.
A giant building was quickly created with just a thought from God.
Only Erebus, the god of darkness, whose speed was no less than that of Tartarus, witnessed the birth of this giant structure.
However, Erebus did not rush to ask.
Since the other gods have not arrived yet, asking Tartarus now will probably not give a detailed explanation.
At this time, high above the gray-black stone giant building, Tartarus and Erebus stood quietly.
One after another, gods flew to the two original gods until all the gods arrived.
At this time, the goddess of daylight, Hemera, looked at Tartarus curiously and asked, "What is the use of this building?"
The gods also looked at Tartarus with curiosity.
At the same time, they looked down at the buildings below with great curiosity.
Tartarus said, "I call it the 'Amphitheater of the Gods.' The center is the battle area, and the surrounding areas are the spectator areas."
"With your current strength, you can destroy mountains, rocks, lakes and seas at will. As long as the gods go to war with each other, it is easy to destroy the earth, ocean, sky, space, underworld and other geographical environments, killing countless people.
Plant life."
"Perhaps, you had no conflict, and simply wanted to learn from each other about the application of laws through fighting. However, you ended up destroying the surroundings, causing various regional disasters, and potentially causing even greater losses."
"So, I created this Arena of the Gods."
"The gods can unleash their strongest divine power in the battle zone of the Arena of the Gods and fight freely without causing disasters in other areas."
"As for damaging the war zone environment? Don't worry about that. I can easily restore it to its original state."
"The divine shield separates the battle area from the spectator area. The gods in the battle area can only destroy the battle area, but cannot damage the spectator area outside the shield or the environment outside the arena."
Looking down at the Arena of the Gods below, the gods all looked surprised.
Originally, when they knew that fighting could speed up their growth, some of them wanted to try it.
However, as long as they fight, the true bodies of one or more gods will be destroyed.
Fighting on the ground and destroying mountains, rivers and seas would directly anger the Earth Mother Gaia, the Mountain God Uriah, and the two Sea Gods.
Fighting on the ocean also angered the three sea gods.
The battle in the sky angered the four air gods, and the battle in space and the underworld angered Tartarus.
Almost, unless they don't care about angering certain gods and fight without regard for the consequences.
Otherwise, they would have no place to fight.
But now, the Arena of the Gods created by Tartarus has made up for the defect of not being able to fight freely.

>
Naturally, everyone was very surprised.
The Arena of the Gods occupies more than half of the southern part of the underworld. <2
More than 90% of it is the central battle zone, which is larger than the abyss at the bottom of the world, and far larger than the celestial sun and the dark sun above the underworld.
Unless it was a war between gods like the one between Tartarus and Uranus, the god of the sky, which could cause turmoil in the world, it seemed impossible to carry out such a war in this area.
Such a huge area can easily accommodate two or even more gods to fight.
Even the huge Cyclops looked very small in it, which was enough for them to fight at their strongest state.
At this time, twelve kinds of weapons appeared in front of Tartarus, all of which exuded a powerful aura, with various laws of power entwined and intertwined.
"A divine weapon that is no less powerful than the war hammer in the hands of the Cyclops!" The eyes of Koos, the god of the celestial bodies, showed a fiery look.
Three Cyclops also came to this gathering.
When they were on earth, they also wanted to participate in the meeting of the gods.
But Gaia, the Earth Mother, did not invite them, and they did not dare to.
Moreover, it was obvious that the Titans did not welcome them.
But it is different in the underworld. There is no solemn meeting of gods every year, and everyone is free.
Anyone who wants to find Tartarus, the Lord of the Underworld, can go directly there. Especially as the guardians of the Underworld, they can come and go freely in the Underworld.
This time, the three Cyclops came with Charon, the ferryman of the Styx, and they naturally brought their most beloved big hammers.
Themis, the goddess of justice, possesses the most companion artifacts and weapons among the current gods. Because of these artifacts, she is considered to be equal in strength to the four aerial gods.
Even two powerful sea gods in the late stage of divine power were afraid of her.
Since she is not here today, the three huge war hammers are naturally the most conspicuous.
In particular, as the three Cyclops used their hammers for longer periods of time, and after they had forged Tartarus's weapons, they continued to forge their own hammers.
The aura emitted by these three war hammers is many times stronger now than when they were first completed, which is obviously a great improvement to their strength.
This made the other gods even more envious.
Now, Tartarus has taken out twelve weapons suitable for gods, which can also be called divine weapons.
A powerful artifact whose aura is no weaker than the war hammer in the hands of the Cyclops!
After the three Cyclops forged these twelve artifacts, Tartarus had the authority of the God of Weapons to reshape and strengthen them.
By incorporating some of the original laws of the abyss, the weapon's destructive power is greatly enhanced compared to before.
Only the God of Darkness, Erebus, looked indifferent. With his strength at the early stage of peak divine power, these weapons were of little help to him.
Whether it was the Midnight God or the Earth God, their eyes changed.
Most of them showed undisguised eagerness.
Tartarus smiled and said, "These artifacts were forged by me, Brontes, Strophes, and Argus. They are weapons most suitable for the gods."
"Now, let me introduce myself again. I am the God of Weapons. I think everyone should be able to sense this."
The powerful divine authority was born, and almost every god would get Chaos' vague memory information.
The God of Weapons, who values killing and fighting, possesses considerable divine authority. Upon its emergence, the God of Weapons possessed the strength of a mid-stage powerful god.
When Tartarus became the God of Weapons, almost all the gods felt it.
Naturally, the gods remained silent; they were looking at the twelve sacred artifacts.
They wanted to know Tartarus's purpose in taking out these artifacts.
For example, do they have a chance to obtain a divine artifact?
Tartarus continued, "The divine artifacts that accompany gods at birth, such as the Bottle of Life and the Sword of Order, possess various magical abilities."
"The artifacts I forged can also grant some abilities. They may not be as good as the companion artifacts, but they should be of some benefit to you at the moment."
After a pause, he said, "So, since I created the Arena of the Gods to make you stronger, then I will help you become even stronger."

"From today on, every three hundred years will be a battle of the gods. The ultimate victor in the battle of the gods will receive one of my twelve divine artifacts as a reward."
"A reward for a divine artifact!" Hyperion, the sun god, blurted out, "Are you telling the truth?"
When he saw the Cyclops today, he was sensing their hammers.
Although he didn't touch it, he was sure that if the war hammer was in his hands, he could definitely defeat Pontos, who was in the late stage of powerful divine power.
He will become the most powerful among the gods below the original gods.
But no Warhammer.
First of all, he is not as powerful as the first generation sea god Pontus and the ocean river god Oceanus, who were both in their later stages.

Secondly, it is uncertain whether he can defeat Kronos, the God of Space, who is also in the middle stage of powerful divine power.
10 points coins>
And now, the opportunity to quickly become stronger has come.
Tartarus nodded: "Of course it is true."
Twelve artifacts!
Similarly, the eyes of other gods also became fiery.
These twelve artifacts are obviously used for combat, to enhance combat effectiveness.
Several gods whose authority is not that of a combat-type god desire these artifacts even more.
> This is the basis for them to transform from weak gods into powerful ones!
At this time, Kronos, the god of space, said: "What if the first three hundred years and the second three hundred years are the same god?"
Tartarus said, "There are two options. The first option is to obtain a second artifact. The second option is that I can enhance the artifact in his hand once more."
The Celestial God Koos asked, "Your Majesty Tartarus, what if all twelve artifacts are awarded?"
Tartarus smiled and said, "I will create more artifacts, or exchange them for other rewards, such as giving you a celestial planet, or something else. Are you afraid that I, as a primitive god, can't give you what you need?"
Do you want a reward?"
"Absolutely not," said Kronos, the God of Space. "You are so generous. We will definitely not be afraid. I can't wait to enter the Arena of the Gods and become the ultimate winner."
Tartarus said loudly, "Now, let's talk about the simple rules! The divine power attacks in the battle zone will not fly outside the divine power shield, but you can enter and exit freely."
"So, the first rule is: after entering, anyone who flies out of the combat zone, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, is considered defeated."
"The second rule: If you're afraid of being seriously injured and voluntarily surrender, you'll be considered defeated, and I'll pull you out of the battle area."
"Third rule: If a spirit is seriously injured before you surrender, I will pull you out of the battle zone and you will be considered defeated."
"The three-hundred-year cycle of the Gods' War is up. The two gods who have defeated the other gods the most times will fight each other in the final battle. The winner will receive my reward."
"Okay, who wants to enter the Arena of the Gods and have the first battle of the gods?"
The four aerial gods looked at each other.
The three sea gods looked at each other.
The two goddesses of light looked at each other.
The gods looked at each other, but no one spoke to show their intention to enter.
If you lose the first battle in the Colosseum, it may be remembered by all the gods.
It will be a laughing stock among the gods for a long time to come.
What they want more is to be prepared and fight in full condition.
"It seems you're not ready yet. Let me test the strength of the battle zone for you!"
After Tartarus finished speaking, a figure flew out of his body and flew directly into the battle area of the Arena of the Gods.
"This clone only controls the divine power of plants and is in the middle stage of powerful divine power. It's not very strong. Aether, enter! Let me test the results of your insights over the years."
"Father, me?" Aether, the god of light, looked at Tartarus.

Progress is a bit slow, and the second generation shows no signs of taking over yet. The mainstream is the period of Zeus, the third generation of Greek mythology. At the current pace, I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait.
