The origin of darkness slowly condensed, pressing down upon the abyss. Tartarus's gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness, allowing Ekanis to see clearly, and a sensually silent sound echoed in the abyss.
"I have no intention of being an enemy to darkness. Ekanis, the embodiment of Ekanis, can perceive my harmlessness, and the Goddess of Destiny can prove my truth through prophecy."
Nyx of the night looked down at Ekanis, who gently raised his head with determination. The starry sea of destiny also confirmed through foreknowledge that Tartarus's words were true.
The divine power of the abyss was not for investigation but for connection. The incomprehensible abyss shared its authority and bestowed it upon Ekanis. From then on, this divine child of darkness could freely enter and exit the abyss.
Such special treatment puzzled Destiny, and Darkness, annoyed, dispelled the darkness, apologizing for his impulsive behavior. The abyss, with its dark and unfathomable eyes, gently stated, "I understand your concern for your offspring, especially for a precious treasure."
The words of praise made Erebus incredulous, and Night had an ominous premonition.
As expected, when the abyss revealed the solution to Eros's curse, Night and Darkness revealed their gloomy essence.
The wrath of the Original Gods made Ekanis close his eyes in enjoyment. The abyss, being the first to bear the brunt, calmly accepted the challenge and continued to explain with composure.
"Eros's power has already evolved into a branch of Ekanis. The curse of Eros has weakened, and along with it, the opponent's will has been suppressed and silenced. At this point, one only needs to seize the opponent's domain and occupy the opponent's Original God's position before the opponent awakens. The curse will naturally break on its own."
The dangerous plan made Nyx sneer as she watched the battle between Darkness and the abyss. Ekanis, huddled in his Earth Mother's embrace, watched the show, greedily and enjoyably absorbing the scattered Original God Ekanis. His divine power of Ekanis continuously grew and became stronger, but constrained by the three-god seal on his forehead, the subsequent growth of divine power felt nonexistent.
Darkness was angered by the abyss's wild imagination, which suggested Ekanis subdue Eros's divine power and preemptively occupy Eros's divine position, making Ekanis superior to Eros.
However, as an Original God, did he really think Ekanis was comparable to the Chaos Father God?
What angered the gods even more was that within the abyss's self-proclaimed foolproof strategy, there was also a plan for Ekanis to "cooperate" with other deities to expel the curse and the origin of Eros.
This approach was equivalent to indirectly fulfilling the prophecy of the curse while significantly reducing the danger.
However, with Gaia's past lesson, not only did she lose her origin, but she is now also suppressed beneath the Sky.
This caused the Goddess of Night to allow her husband's reckless behavior, and she even felt the urge to act herself.
As the current vessel of desire, Ekanis could understand that, from a certain perspective, he was essentially a reincarnation of Eros.
Eros was born and existed in the hearts of the gods, and now, Ekanis's body contained a large amount of Eros's origin.
The abyss's words, in short, meant to both satisfy the general content of the curse and to expel the curse of desire, which shared the same origin, from Ekanis's body.
As for the method?
It was probably about having many children and sharing the pressure brought by the origin of Eros.
How could Nyx and Erebus, as the Father God and Earth Mother, handle themselves? The abyss did not understand their overwhelming anger. The world needed new gods to continuously enrich the evolution of laws.
Gaia, the Earth Mother, had already set an example, and the abyss had also taken the lead in opening up the abyss's authority.
Why did Night and Darkness, on the other hand, obstruct? The laws issued a warning to stop the Original Gods' struggle. The nascent world could not withstand conflict, and the value of time should be in promoting the birth of more new life.
Diligent Gaia has now become a model favored by the laws, used to awaken the minds of the gods.
Even Ekanis was taught by the laws that he should properly fulfill his divine duties. Ekanis nodded weakly in agreement, but in his heart, he pondered the meaning of Tartarus of the abyss. The divinity of thought enveloped his head, and complex words began to be broken down into basic parts. Ekanis continued to ponder the basic parts.
The laws rejoiced at Ekanis's pragmatic actions. The divinity of thought was once again refined, and the godhead of analysis, radiating gray light, descended before him, merging into Ekanis's godhead of thought.
Accompanied by the corroboration of absorbed Ekanis in his memory, the concept of thought was defined by Ekanis. Thought belongs to the dreamlike spiritual realm; it is independent of objective things but can be influenced subjectively.
And in thought, the determination of the situation of things and words is called judgment. Judgment can yield truth, falsehood, and feasibility, and the godhead of judgment was also born. One or more judgments can lead to new judgments, thereby leading to inference.
The godhead of thought gained a new definition: analytical, judgmental, inferential, and other mental activities constitute thought.
And the godhead of thought also made Ekanis understand that what Tartarus said was true, but the parts he didn't understand immediately followed. However, upon looking up and noticing the gazes of the three Original Gods, a flash of inspiration appeared, and the godhead of thought was then completed.
Night and Darkness covered their heads in resignation. It seemed they truly needed to re-evaluate the potential of their offspring. The ancient abyss proved the feasibility of his plan with the most direct facts, and Ekanis also began to decrease his favor for this ancient wise one, bit by bit.
However, feeling the growth of his Ekanis divine power, he couldn't help but ponder that its essential source was probably as the abyss said.
From Eros, the God of Eros, once his will awakens, the Ekanis godhead, born from desire, will certainly be affected. Eros will become even stronger with the blessing of Ekanis. The ancient Original Gods hold a lofty status that cannot be replaced by second-generation gods.
And Ekanis is inherently a new law extended from the origin of Eros. The advancement of Ekanis is a completion of the law of Eros.
And in Tartarus's plan, to prevent the origin of Eros from contributing to the law of Ekanis more than his own control, Ekanis could choose to forgo the strengthening of his Ekanis godhead. For him, there were many paths to choose from: the godheads of destruction and ruin were inherent, and the godhead of destiny, with its void and variables, was inherently superior.
However, none of this guarantees whether Eros, who will inevitably return in the future, will ignite the flames of revenge. As the Origin Gods continuously differentiate their origins for the evolution of the world, Eros, born from the procreation of Eros, will only become stronger.
Therefore, the safest strategy is to completely cut off the possibility of the opponent returning to their peak. The knowledge reserves of the Original Gods are incomparable to those of the gods below them. No one can know how much absolute authority a god has within his domain.
Ekanis finally looked up in distress at the abyss, who was acting as his mentor. The origin of darkness, capable of bestowing all knowledge, was already within him. If even more knowledge and wealth were needed, this would involve the divine domains of Nyx and Erebus. Since the abyss was willing to contribute his domain, why should Night and Darkness refuse this kindness?
How could the goddess favored by destiny let her offspring suffer a loss? How could fortunate Ekanis not accept this gift delivered right to his mouth...
