Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Spirit of Light walks in the Infinite

Dani was the son of a Shepherd in Thebes and was sixteen years old.

His family was originally a follower of Shepherd God Pan, son of Hermes, the messenger of gods, but over the years, the faith of the God of light had risen and swept through many city-states by Delphi.

Dani’s mother was a believer in the God of light.

So he also followed his mother since childhood, believing in the Supreme God of light and the vice-ruler of Olympus.

In the blink of an eye, he was sixteen years old.

A few months ago, when he was giving water to his sheep by the river, he met a beautiful girl.

Her name was Alasha, the daughter of the town cobbler, and she was his age.

She was young and lovely, lively and kind-hearted, dressed in white gauze, like a noble princess from the drama, suddenly into the heart of Dani.

She also liked his pure and simple smile.

The two just fell in love.

But his father had his eye on the ugly daughter of a well-to-do family in town.

“Dani, my child. Listen to your father, my cobbler’s daughter is not worthy of you. The wife I found for you is ugly, but she has a shining golden Zeus in her family. If we marry her, we will. I don’t have to herd sheep anymore. I can live in a big stone house and go to the city every day to listen to opera,” His father told him.

Dani did not dare to disobey his father’s will, but his love for Alasha was more difficult.

Then his mother said to him, “Since you can’t decide, why don’t you pray to the great God of light?”

“Hey, those gods on Olympus will heed our prayers?” Dani, who was not a strong believer, sneered.

But still obeyed his mother’s wishes and prayed to the God of light.

“Great God of light, should I pursue my love and run away with Alasha, or should I follow my father’s orders and marry that ugly rich woman?”

Just when he finished his prayer and stood up without giving hope.

A brilliant light suddenly enveloped him, and a handsome young golden figure with a divine aura gently gazed at him.

“O confused believer who prays to me; you should ask your heart and choose your own path in life among love and wealth.”

The solemn tone echoed in the ears of the brilliant light enveloped, and Dani’s brain shuddered.

Thought of every image with Alasha, they play in the meadow in the river looking for the white reed flowers, in the night watching the stars. She always had a lively and lovely smile on her face.

She said her beauty would only bloom for him and that he was her only love.

“Alasha, how can I fail your love and make such a struggle here?” The teenager slapped himself a few times and stormed towards the door.

“Praise you, the great God of light, for showing me what I should do with my life!”

Dani’s devout prayer, accompanied by the power of milky faith, poured into the golden figure.

The illusory holy spirit solidified quite a bit at once.

“Guiding believers and obtaining feedback, is this the way of the holy spirit’s cultivation?” The illusory golden figure pondered.

……

At the same time, the same illusory golden figure appeared in front of a blue-haired middle-aged sailor on the vast sea.

The sailor, Lautus, was a helmsman from Thebes who was heading to troy with his cargo.

But a storm hit the sea, and the whole cargo ship broke apart. He escaped alone to a small boat and survived.

The endless sea made him desperate, but his young daughter and old mother at home were still waiting for him to return. Lautus knew he could not fall here.

But even though he rowed hard for seven days and seven nights but still did not see any land shadow, he had long been lost in the ocean.

Thirsty and hungry, he collapsed in the bow of the ship in despair and suddenly saw the brilliant sun in the sky.

He then thought of his faith in the gods, the brightest star of Olympus, the benevolent and discerning God of light.

“Praise the light, I have been lost in the sea for seven days, and seven nights. Please guide me back to the direction of land.” He tried to make a prayer.

Then he saw the handsome, divine golden figure shrouded in brilliant light.

“Lost sailor, go forward to the place where the light shines. There is the hope that holds you.”

Under the splendid light, the sailor, who was originally exhausted, suddenly became full of energy; he gritted his teeth and stood up, grabbed the oar, and rowed hard in the direction of the shining light in the distance.

Finally, he saw a port.

“Ah, merciful and great God of light, your servant, praises you!” The sailor howled with excitement, but his eyes were full of devout faith.

The illusory holy spirit was sensed and solidified a lot.

……

Meanwhile, in Thessalia, a pale old man, hunched over with a cane, walked alone in the countryside, constantly calling out his daughter’s name.

The old man’s name was Riklow, and he had a very beautiful daughter named Lurch, who was beautiful and kind, and who was the only support in his old life.

But yesterday his daughter went on a picnic but disappeared in the woods.

He searched for a whole day but only found her shoes in the valley.

The pale Riklow was filled with despair inside, knowing that his daughter must have been taken captive.

“Ah, all-good and all-powerful God of light, please help me find my missing daughter. She is my beloved flesh and blood.” The old man threw his walking stick and cried out to the sky.

At this time, except for the gods of faith, he could not think of any existence that could give him help.

After he sent out a prayer, a golden figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with eyes full of wisdom that seemed to pierce through time.

“O pale believer, your daughter is ahead by the creek, take up your crutch and seek her.”

The low voice echoed in the ears of old Riklow, the poor father, excitedly grabbed his walking stick and ran swiftly to the creek in front of him.

Into the eyes, a barely human-shaped ugly figure, a hand holding his daughter’s neck, pressed her into the river as if to wash and eat.

“The girl with thin skin and tender flesh, my geat Foppers, likes the sensuality of a pure girl like you the most. Come and become a part of me.” The ugly figure said hideously.

“Filthy fellow, let go of my daughter!” Old Riklow, completely unafraid, carried his cane and was about to strike the head of the strange man who called himself Foppers.

“You damned old man, how you dare call the great son of Ares, fear incarnate Foppers dirty, give me death!” The ugly figure roared in anger and slapped the old Riklow to the ground with a scowl on the corner of his mouth.

“Father!” the girl in the river screamed, her eyes full of despair.

“Humble mortals, how can you stand against the sons of Ares? Accept your fate.” The monster laughed wildly.

At that moment, Riklow, on the ground, shouted: “We are the people of the God of light, the all-good and all-powerful Apollo, who will bless us.”

“Apollo?” The ugly monster was stunned and then burst out laughing, “He is indeed very powerful, but can he appear at this time to save you?”

Just as the monster’s words fell, a golden figure emerged from the distant void, covered in brilliant light.

“I remember that you are the son of Ares and Enio. Because of your ugliness, they don’t like you. Your bloodline is even worse. But now, you’re barely a Middle God.” His golden eyes stared at him indifferently.

Foppers trembled with fear: “A … Apollo, how can you be here?”

“The light has never enveloped every believer, and in the name of the vice ruler of the divine court, I grant you eternal rest in flames!” The golden figure solemnly proclaimed a pure white flame descended on Foppers, the God of fear.

The ugly figure was instantly covered with flames and rolled on the ground screaming in despair, begging: “God of light … Forgive me, for the sake of my father!”

“Your father, Ares?” The golden figure smiled as the pure white flame exploded with terrifying heat.

Looking at the terrifying monster that gradually burned to ashes in the pure white flame, the older Riklow on the ground, and the beautiful maiden in the river who was wet with river water, both had a shock in their eyes.

After the surprise, they both looked with reverent eyes at the handsome and divine figure in the brilliant light above.

Father and daughter simultaneously tapped their right fists on their eyebrows and recited the name belonging to the light.

……

Not only them but also countless people on the earth and sea who were in desperate situations praying for light were guided by the holy spirit.

With their devout faith, they made the illusory holy spirit quickly solidify and shine.

“The so-called holy spirit is the very power that is everywhere and perfectly shares the holy father and the holy son.”

Apollo murmured in his heart as he felt the growth of the holy spirit in the black night domain of the underworld.

At this time, he walked into the temple of Goddess of darkness.

“Apollo, where have you been?” Hecate looked at him in surprise and suddenly felt that Apollo’s aura had changed.

It became fuller of holiness and greatness as if he was facing a vast world.

Inside, Asteria and Nyx felt the change in him.

Asteria knew nothing, and the Goddess of darkness, who was enveloped by night, was instantly shocked in her heart.

“What has happened to this young god? Why has he added such a great immortal charm after only a short time of not seeing him?” Nyx’s beautiful eyes were actually a little dazed.

In Apollo, she saw someone.

An immortal being called the greatest god.

Apollo stared at them and said in a deep voice:

“I think I have found a way to lift the Abyss of the mind.”
