The Moon God Envoy was facing the setting sun. Its face, made of moonstone, showed no expression, but the fading sunlight falling on its rigid features made it inexplicably sorrowful.
Sensing the aura of the young man behind it, the Moon God Envoy suddenly stood up and turned to rush toward Yu.
After abruptly stopping in front of the young man, the Moon God Envoy extended the hollow circular wheel it held in its hand toward Yu.
Yu was not in a hurry to take the circular wheel, but instead looked at the expressionless face of the Moon God Envoy, slightly frowned and asked:
"Are you crying? Where is your companion?"
He was the creator of these Moon God Envoys, and his mind was connected to theirs. Yu understood that his creations were not just simple inanimate objects, but beings with their own lives and emotions.
It was just that these were a new species, without emotions worth mentioning, without fear or other feelings, but the Moon God Envoy would one day have those things. Taking the one in front of him as an example; he could feel sorrow from this being.
But Yu was somewhat confused as to why this Moon God Envoy was sad. Had its companion abandoned it?
That shouldn't be the case. These Moon God Envoys were all born from the Materialized Moon. If traced back to their origin, they were all brothers by blood.
The Moon God Envoy could not speak, and the sadness in its emotions grew stronger. It held the hollow circular ring in its hand toward Yu, its meaning obvious.
Seeing this, Yu said no more and took the hollow circular ring from the Moon God Envoy's hand.
The moment he took it, the system introduction for the hollow circular ring appeared in front of Yu. After reading the explanation, Yu also understood where the other Moon God Envoy had gone.
Divine Tool: Stolen Light Tinder: In an age when humanity was immersed in darkness, Prometheus, one of the gods and a Titan, stole a spark from the wheel of the Sun Chariot so that light could shine in the night and protect humanity from beasts and monsters, thus bringing fire to the human world.
However, because of this, Prometheus was imprisoned in the Caucasus Mountains, enduring torment day and night. To obtain this Divine Tool, one must take Prometheus's place in punishment.
Divine Tool Ability: Can absorb or reflect attacks from the Sun. Can summon Prometheus when combined with prometheus's grimoire and stone nail of the sinner.
Looking at the system introduction, Yu fell silent. In the past, Yu would naturally have been happy to obtain a Divine Tool, but when it was said that this tool was obtained at the cost of one of his subordinates, Yu only felt humiliation.
"Take me to the place where this Divine Tool was obtained."
After storing the Divine Tool, Yu looked at the Moon God Envoy and ordered.
Hearing this, the still sorrowful Moon God Envoy immediately suppressed its emotions, placed one finger on Yu's shoulder, and then, with a flash of moonlight, the two of them disappeared from the rooftop.
When they reappeared, they were already above a snow-covered mountain.
"Are these the Caucasus Mountains?"
Standing on the strong wind, Yu's gaze swept over the snow-covered mountain range below. He had never been to the Caucasus Mountains, but he knew that it was the place where Zeus imprisoned and tortured Prometheus, the god who stole fire.
Although the myths and the present world were different, Yu did not have much fondness for this place.
"Take me to him."
After scanning the surroundings, Yu did not see the other Moon God Envoy, so he let it lead him.
And although the Moon God Envoy beside him was simple, that did not mean it could not understand words. It immediately led Yu toward a small hill not far away.
Soon, the man and the Moon Rock Giant arrived in front of the small hill.
Looking at the small hill, Yu was somewhat confused. He remembered that Prometheus was imprisoned on a high mountain, but this… this small hill did not resemble a high mountain at all.
However, the Moon God Envoy did not speak. Instead, it opened its large hands and began digging vigorously beneath the hill. Soon, a large hole was dug out, and inside it was a disk the size of a palm.
Seeing the disk, the Moon God Envoy pressed it without hesitation. The next second, the entire Caucasus Mountains began to tremble.
But the trembling lasted only a few seconds before stopping, and in front of Yu and the Moon God Envoy, a somewhat abrupt tall mountain appeared.
"This is… mechanical art? There is no aura fluctuation."
Seeing this scene, Yu was clearly surprised. Ever since arriving at the Caucasus Mountains, his aura perception had continuously covered the area, but despite that, he had not discovered this mechanism.
The main reason was that there was no fluctuation of magical energy in this mechanism, even when it was activated. Even when the tall mountain appeared, it was as if a great hand had pulled back a covering curtain. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Yu would have thought the mountain appeared out of nowhere.
However, the Moon God Envoy obviously could not answer Yu's questions. Seeing that the mountain had appeared, it quickly jumped out of the hole it had dug. Two seconds later, the large hole suddenly returned to its original state, exactly the same as before.
After staring at the hole for a few more seconds, Yu ignored it and used Gusting Wind and Raging Waves to lift the Moon God Envoy and rushed toward the top of the mountain.
In just a moment, the two of them climbed the legendary Caucasus Mountains.
There was nothing on the Caucasus Mountains, except, of course, iron chains that appeared out of nowhere, binding the Moon Rock Giant.
Seeing the Moon Rock Giant, Yu looked at it and confirmed that it was not injured; it was only bound by chains and could not leave.
The moment it saw Yu, the bound Moon Rock Giant quickly stood up and tried to leave, but lightning and flames suddenly burst from the iron chains, striking it.
However, the Moon Rock Giant was made of moonstone after all; the flames and lightning did not harm it, only leaving slight black marks on its gray-white surface.
Seeing this, Yu twitched his lips. He wondered what had happened to the Moon God Envoy that had not returned, but it turned out that it simply could not move.
Looking at the Moon Rock Giant beside him, Yu for some reason wanted to beat it up.
Seriously, it was only trapped, yet it made such a sad expression, making him think the other Moon God Envoy was dead.
But thinking about it, in this world there should not be anything that could completely destroy a Moon God Envoy. As long as the Moon exists, the Moon God Envoy is immortal, except for a Heretic God, of course.
For a Heretic God, even if there were ten moons in the sky, they could kill a Moon God Envoy whenever they wanted. That is the difference between a god and a human.
Shaking his head, Yu stopped thinking about it. He stepped forward, intending to tear apart the iron chains holding the Moon God Envoy, but just as he approached, a hawk's cry suddenly rang out.
With that cry, a black shadow that covered the sky flew over his head.
"Hm? Is that an evil hawk?"
Hearing the cry, Yu looked up at the sky. He saw a huge hawk wrapped in flames circling above the Caucasus Mountains, like a hunter waiting for the right moment to strike.
The moment he saw it, he recognized its origin.
After Prometheus was chained by Zeus's order, the punishment did not end. Since gods are immortal, Zeus assigned a huge hawk to torment him. Every day it ate his liver, and as it regenerated, it would be eaten again.
And that was not all. Zeus cast a spell so that Prometheus could not kneel, only stand, and could not sleep, enduring this torment forever.
In the end, the hawk was killed by the greatest hero of ancient Greece, Heracles, thus ending the punishment.
Yu only glanced at the hawk and ignored it. He stepped forward and directly tore apart the iron chains.
The chains, said to be unbreakable, snapped with a light pull, and the Moon God Envoy regained its freedom, quickly approaching its companion.
"That thing doesn't seem to be coming down."
After everything, Yu looked up at the sky again, seeing that the bird was still circling.
But just as he was about to ignore it and leave, the space around him suddenly distorted.
....
Then he felt a weight on his arms. Looking down, he saw that black iron shackles had appeared on his wrists at some unknown moment.
Seeing this, Yu raised an eyebrow. Before he could break them, thick, long chains grew out of them, extending into the void and directly binding him.
"A little interesting."
With a bit of strength, Yu tried to break free from the iron chains, but found that the chains, which he could easily break before, did not move at all now. A trace of interest appeared in his heart.
Not far away, the two Moon God Envoys saw that Yu was trapped and immediately moved to save him, but as soon as they took a step, Yu stopped them:
"Don't come closer, I can free myself."
"Kraa!!!"
As soon as Yu finished speaking, the giant hawk circling high in the sky let out another cry. Then its golden eyes locked onto Yu, and its steel-like beak shone with a cold light as it dived toward the bound young man.
"So, it was waiting for me."
Seeing that the giant hawk had finally decided to descend, Yu's lips curved slightly, and silver light shone in his eyes. In the next moment, the giant hawk's wings suddenly turned into salt rock, then its claws, and finally its enormous body.
"Boom!!!"
Without wings, the giant hawk, now turned into salt rock, fell heavily from the sky, smashing a large hole in the ground before shattering into countless pieces.
After killing the giant hawk, Yu used a powerful force, and the iron chains binding him shattered. However, the chains were unwilling to let him go, and even more chains extended from the void, wrapping around Yu.
Yu reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, a pool of boiling blood appeared at his feet, and then a two-meter-tall abomination was summoned by Yu.
The moment the abomination appeared, it was bound by the iron chains, which this time directly lifted it up. Not only its arms, but also its legs were shackled.
"Uh~ uh!!"
The abomination struggled, clearly still not understanding what had happened, and Yu naturally had no intention of explaining it.
After regaining his freedom, Yu waved his hand and left together with the two Moon God Envoys.
He still had important things to do, such as… a cool senpai and a hypnotist kouhai.
In short, to say it directly, he wanted Kasumigaoka Utaha's body.
