Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 126: How It Began, How It Will Continue

Erebus stared at the vast group of gods and goddesses. Even Erebus, the darkness itself, did not know when he had last seen so many holy beings together.

"Are you going to start telling me, brother?" Chronos suddenly asked. Even if they were not brothers, the long time together had increased their respect for each other.

As Chronos asked his question, he turned to Nyx and asked, "Did you manage to contact Chaos?"

Nyx shook her head and replied, "He says we should just watch."

With that, Erebus signalled for both of them to shut up, and then, looking at the huge group of gods and goddesses, began to speak:

"Before everything, there was nothing. And when there was nothing, there was Chaos. No gender, no form, no expectations or anything else. Just Chaos."

"Over a long period, Chaos realised that he wanted a family. That’s why he realised he had to create something with his infinite power."

"Those things were me and Nyx, and our creation was swift and orderly. When I was created as the darkness itself, Chaos did not spend much time on me, creating my body, but Nyx was created with care, down to every hair on her head."

"And that’s exactly where this begins. What happened immediately after Nyx and I were created."

When Erebus said all these words, everyone listening to what had happened began to listen to him with their jaws shut. Now only Erebus’ voice could be heard in the whole hall.

"Chaos created the 8 Sacred Flames, Time, Reality and finally Space. He did this for only one reason. That reason was to create an Eternity. The Time that determines when life and living will end. The unbreakable Reality itself. The 8 Sacred Flames that blossom life and Space that holds everything in place."

"When everything was ready, Time itself dissipated into space. Trillions of creatures on billions of planets in millions of galaxies in hundreds of thousands of universes formed instantly. A cycle was established."

"We gods and goddesses are capable of using one of these cyclic forces, that is, one of the four forces that brought Creation into existence. The rarest of these powers is Time, the most difficult to use is 8 Sacred Flames, the one you can’t have without losing your mind is Reality, and the framework that helps hold it all together is Space."

"My father, Chaos, kept telling me that he created all these things for a reason, that they were part of something. I never found out what it was and I don’t think I ever will, but...it is the main story of creation."

"In this case, the question arises again...A human being...A member of the weakest race in a tiny world...How is it that even gods and goddesses can control only one of the 4 Primary Powers, but can possess more?"

When Erebus finished speaking, he looked at the gods and goddesses around him, then twisted his lips and said, "Believe me, I have no idea."

At that moment, Hyperion himself looked at Erebus and then asked, "What are we going to do? Won’t it endanger the whole world if one person has this potential? Power enough to destroy everything if it continues to grow like this."

The question had even crossed Nyx’s mind herself. Even though the High Goddess herself considered Atlas to be her child, she couldn’t help having these thoughts.

"Perhaps." Erebus said, and then, looking at Hyperion, he added, "You saw what he did to those who worshipped demons...Perhaps that’s why my father Chaos said we should watch...We can’t do anything else, brother."

With these words, the silence in the huge hall was broken. Zeus got up from his seat and said gently, "But what can we do? It is clear that Atlas is trying to do something, that he has a good purpose. So are we just going to sit and wait, uncle?" he shouted.

With his shout, Nemesis, one of the Chaos-Borns, stood up and said, "Zeus is not wrong, father. Isn’t it obvious that almost everyone here has had their heart stolen by Atlas? Eris even fell in love, look at that idiot!" and then said, "Maybe we can’t land on Earth, but there must be a way we can help. Maybe a blessing. Even if we can give small blessings, we should be able to help him."

With these words, Gaia, who was sitting right next to Nyx in the hall, uttered the following words:

"He has a system, just like us. It shouldn’t have one, but somehow it does. Every time he creates a magic ring and every time he levels up his Aura, he gets to choose one of us. There is a flaw in this system. If we stand together, and when he chooses one of us, there are others with him, we can teach him things, just as Selene did."

"However, those who are not chosen will be able to give him blessings in really long intervals, one at a time. Even if we only add one point to his status points, it will help him. Even if we don’t know exactly what he’s trying to do, there are forces in the world that he can’t defeat right now. There are two ways to support him, and these are them. Remember that."

When the Great Goddess Gaia spoke these words, each god and goddess nodded their heads as if they understood. Just as everyone was about to disperse, Nyx’s words echoed through the hall:

"Constantly paving her path will only weaken her. We can’t put all the difficulties in front of him, but I ask you, at least tell your churches, tell your followers. Help must not be withheld. Thousands of gods, perhaps after millions of years, we are uniting for one person, just because we are interested, we must see this through and perhaps...those words that my father spoke, that which he clearly told us to follow, may come to pass."

It was a lesson for the gods. Even if Nyx was asking, her request was no more than an order to everyone else.

Now Atlas’ life would be a little easier.
