Chapter 7: World Line Sudden Change, Love of Night and the Abyss?!
Eros, the God of Love and Sexual Desire?
Tartarus was slightly surprised. This was one of the five primordial gods born from Chaos, and the fifth god born, of the same generation as the four current gods.
"Feeling love and sex, they were born. Nyx and Erebus?" Tartarus immediately thought of these two gods.
In Greek mythology, it is said that these two primordial gods were twin siblings who later became husband and wife and gave birth to two children, the God of Space and the God of Day. Nyx then bore many children on her own.
Thinking of this, Tartarus couldn't help but sigh that the gods of Chaos' world only looked human, but they weren't truly human.
They had no concept of human ethics. They could combine with men and women to give birth to new gods, and female gods could also give birth to gods on their own.
Especially Gaia, the Earth, and Nyx, the goddess of night. According to the original Greek mythology, these two single-handedly gave birth to many powerful gods.
As the voice, indistinguishable between male and female, sang, a pink light shone not far from Nyx and Erebus.
Amidst the light, a pink mist rose, and a god emerged.
It was a tall, masculine god, yet possessed the beauty of a woman. This extreme beauty surpassed any woman Tartarus had ever seen in his previous life.
This exquisite beauty, surpassing even Nyx and Gaia, was considered the most extreme beauty Tartarus had ever seen, the most extreme beauty in the world.
He was draped in a pink veil, his upper body defined by exquisitely defined muscles, revealing the full potential of a man.
Eros, the god of love and lust!
This god, whose figure suggested maleness, but whose face suggested femaleness, could not be determined by sight alone.
However, when he appeared, Tartarus sensed through his divine senses that he was a male deity.
"Hello, my brother Eros. I am Tartarus, the second god born from Chaos, the god of the underworld and the abyss," Tartarus introduced himself.
Greek mythology contains very little information about this god of love. With the emergence of Cupid during the time of Zeus, all traces of this primordial deity have almost completely disappeared.
Perhaps his power was too weak, and his divine authority had been replaced. Or perhaps there were other, deeper conspiracy theories, of which Tartarus was unaware.
Now, Tartarus was curious about the true strength of this primordial god of love and sexual desire, and what kind of deity he was.
"I am Erebus, the third god born from Chaos, the god of darkness," Erebus said after introducing himself.
"Hello, Eros. I am Nyx, the fourth god born from Chaos, the goddess of night. I am your sister! You said love and sex were born, and then you were born. What are love and sex?"
Nyx looked at Eros with a playful smile, then glanced at the abyss below.
"My sister, Nyx, the goddess of night, you already understand what love is. Let me tell you what sex is!" Eros looked at Nyx, his beautiful eyes gleaming with a pink light, revealing a kind of allure.
Instantly, a vision filled Nyx's mind...
A faceless male god embraced her, his hands reaching out to untie the thin veil from her body.
And then... various erotic scenes of lovemaking flashed through Nyx's mind.
It seemed like many scenes of sexual pleasure, but in reality, they were only fleeting moments.
Suddenly awake, Nyx looked down at the abyss below, a blush spreading across her delicate cheeks.
At the same time, Eros wasn't just looking at Nyx; he was also looking at the abyss beneath her feet.
Tartarus could sense that Eros was simultaneously channeling his divine power upon him, tapping into the capacities of love and lust.
Though he hadn't taken form, Tartarus, who had been human in his previous life, also experienced visions of sexual intercourse.
The woman he was engaging in rapturous love with was none other than Nyx, the goddess of the night!
The vision shattered in an instant, and Tartarus felt a wave of unexplained emotions and thoughts.
"First came love and sex, then Eros was born. In other words, the love and sex that preceded his appearance weren't created by his divine power; they were already present."
"Then, before that, did Erebus and Nyx fall in love? But it didn't seem like it was me and Nyx?"
As Tartarus pondered this, the following conversation provided him with the answer.
Nyx looked at Erebus: "Erebus, are you experiencing any hallucinations?"
Erebus replied: "No, I sensed Eros's divine power, but it's too weak to disturb me."
Eros, the god of love and lust, said: "Compared to the four of you, my divine power is too weak. If you didn't have love and lust, I couldn't create these in you."
"Just now, I simply catered to your mutual desire for love and sex. I made this love more romantic, this lust more wonderful."
Tartarus thought to himself: "Erebus, the god of darkness, doesn't experience hallucinations, but Nyx and I do. So, it was the love and sex between us that gave rise to Eros?"
Although he and Gaia, the Earth Mother, had spent thousands of years together, they had barely communicated, remaining in their original, primordial state.
Gaia was beautiful, and she even helped absorb the source of chaos, but in reality, it was only for the purpose of deification and strengthening, as suggested by the Book of Creation.
On the other hand, they had talked a lot about Nyx since her birth.
Nyx had a stunning figure and was very charming. Her youthful loveliness and every smile truly captivated Tartarus.
This, in his previous life as a human, led him to harbor intimate fantasies about this deity.
According to this analysis, he had developed romantic and sexual desires for Nyx.
But Eros was saying that they both desired each other, meaning that Nyx also had romantic and sexual desires for him?
How could a newly born deity develop such thoughts so quickly?
No, wasn't she officially paired with Erebus?
Tartarus hadn't expected the butterfly effect to unfold so quickly.
The birth of the primordial god had already begun to transform the course of the world!
At this moment, Eros looked at Nyx, then occasionally at the abyss beneath her feet.
Nyx, the goddess of night, didn't look at Erebus. Perhaps the power of Eros, the god of love, intensified her desire for love and sex. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stared at the ground, slightly dazed.
Tartarus, who had been carefully sensing Eros and Nyx, was completely certain.
It was clearly him and Nyx!
Nyx had actually fallen in love with him!
"I haven't become a god yet, I'm just the Abyss itself. How can this generate love?"
Tartarus realized that becoming a god required a shift in his perspective.
They were gods, not the human form of his previous life.
In essence, he was the Abyss, and Nyx was the night.
This was a special kind of love and sex between gods, between night and the abyss, not simply between humans, unrestricted by the presence of a deified divine body.
"I'm going to the earth, three of you. If you wish to find me, feel love in your heart, call my name, and I will appear."
With that, Eros, the god of love and lust, vanished.
"Earth, night, day, and harmony." Tartarus found an opportunity to speak halfway.
Eros had suddenly disrupted the original plan. Tartarus naturally intended to proceed with his plan to devour the Source of Chaos.
"And what?" Nyx's interest was piqued once again.
"Is your memory confused again? Is it possible to do without the Source of Chaos?" Erebus, the god of darkness, wondered.
