Myth: I am God!

A silver moon hung in the night sky, its light falling like laurel blossoms across the wilderness.

The stars that guarded the moonlight twinkled with a faint glow.

Like torches held high by a crowd walking at night.

When the adults realized that Isaac and Perseus were missing, they immediately gathered people and went to search for them with torches.

After searching the entire village and town without finding any trace of the two children.

The group realized the seriousness of the problem.

After Yara and the others returned home drunk, they seemed to have caught a glimpse of Isaac...

He didn't pay attention at the time.

I thought this mischievous little guy had discovered something fun again.

But only after his wife's repeated, anxious reminders did he suddenly snap out of his drunken stupor, as did Dickies...

They were so drunk and enjoying themselves that they only realized then that their children hadn't returned.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked his clothes.

It's important to understand that, unlike a few years ago, although there are still those hired warriors from the Hall of Heroes, strangely enough, the number of wild beasts in the Eastern Forest has increased rather than decreased.

Even outside of the auspicious Eastern Forest, similar phenomena seem to be occurring throughout Central Plains, with beasts imbued with magic crystals gradually appearing in the forests surrounding other city-states...

Therefore, going out at night is a particularly dangerous thing.

Who knows, in some dark corner, there might be a pair of inhuman eyes staring at you.

then.

After failing to find the children in the villages, Yara simply used his precognitive abilities...

He closed his eyes, and his soul slowly radiated light.

I opened my eyes again.

He saw a horrifying scene.

Hesitantly, Yara still told Dicttis what she had seen—

"Dick...listen to me, don't panic..."

"I saw Perseus lying on the grass, covered in wounds..."

"And Isaac wept beside him..."

Dick's pupils trembled; he lost all composure as a king.

Like an anxious, ordinary, and average father...

"Where is he? Tell me...where is he?!"

"Come with me."

Yara took a deep breath and walked in one direction.

The group followed Yara closely...

They left the village and headed into the wilderness of Canaan.

Holding torches, Yara's torch pierced through the mist and darkness in the night, with several people following behind...

Finally, as the bright moon hung high in the sky...

Yara and the others arrived at the place where Isaac and Perseus were...

......

"Perseus!"

Dicttis rushed forward, taking three steps at a time, and scooped up Perseus, who was still weak and lying on the ground...

He was covered in blood.

But he was still alive, not dead, his azure eyes reflecting the starry sky as he looked at his father...

Dicttis examined Perseus's body more carefully and found only a few scars, but no bleeding wounds...

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He has already failed as a father once... He absolutely cannot fail a second time.

Meanwhile, Isaac, upon seeing Yara, seemed to finally shed all the strength he had been putting on, and like an ordinary child, he cried and ran towards his father...

Yara was heartbroken to see this. He picked up little Isaac, comforting him while wiping the bloodstains from Isaac's cheeks. He was about to ask what had happened, worried.

But at this moment, Perseus spoke first:

"I...sneaked away...and got caught by a pack of wolves..."

"Isaac saved me..."

Dicttis was both shaken by his son's encounter with the wolves and relieved by Isaac's timely rescue...

Yara saved Dicttis.

But the son of Ara once again saved the son of Dicttis...

As if by fate, it will repeat itself...

Before Dicttis could even reflect on this, he suddenly realized a crucial problem and asked Perseus, whom he held in his arms:

"Run away? Why did you run away... Don't you know it's dangerous outside?"

Upon hearing this, Perseus hesitated again...

There was no response.

He held the exhausted Perseus in his arms, gestured to Yara, and together they returned to Canaan.

No matter what, we have to get the children back first.

On the way home, the moonlight illuminated the path, making the bloodstains on Perseus appear somewhat purplish...

Just as they were about to arrive in Canaan.

Perseus, who had been silent all along, spoke:

"Father, will I... always be your son?"

The moonlight shone on his still somewhat childish face, his eyes filled with melancholy and a hint of longing, as if he feared being abandoned, like abandoning a kitten or puppy...

Upon hearing this, Dicttis was taken aback.

Only then did he realize Perseus's inner vulnerability...

His blood flowed with the blood of his enemies, Zeus, or perhaps the former king of Argos.

He was just a child, only thirteen or fourteen years old.

He couldn't process these emotions on his own; he was afraid of being abandoned...

Dixtis was silent for a moment, then said solemnly:

"Of course, as I said, you'll always be my son..."

"The eldest son of the Dicttis family...the eldest prince of Argos!"

"Unless Zeus steps over my dead body..."

"Otherwise, he will never be able to take you away from me!"

"Perseus, remember this..."

"The strongest bond in this world is not blood..."

"It's love..."

......

Seeing the children return safe and sound.

Sarah's anxiety finally subsided.

"Look at them, all covered in blood..."

"Xia Jia, go boil some water, we need to give the children a good bath."

Yara also learned the whole story from Isaac, as well as the matter of the Breath of the Purple Robe...

If it weren't for good luck, Isaac and Perseus would have been killed by wolves.

If it weren't for that voice prompting Isaac...

Even if Perseus escaped being devoured by the wolves, he might still have met his end.

"The voice was kind and comforting, like the sun shining warmly, but I didn't know what it was..." Isaac recalled, describing the voice when his father asked about it.

Yara smiled; he probably already knew everything.

"It must be the Lord...it must be that angel who came to reveal this to you in accordance with the Lord's will."

Isaac was taken aback. He knew the Lord; the adults had told him about Him since he was a child.

That is the only god in the world, and He possesses incredible power.

All glory and power belong to Him...

"You're too young. You'll understand when you're older..."

The father said something that no one could understand:

"The reason why the Messiah is the Messiah..."

"It's not about blood, it's about the pact..."

"The covenant with God."

"..."

Isaac's little mind was completely confused, but before he could figure it out...

The two children were tossed into the basin of water by Xia Jia like two kittens, splashing water everywhere.

Then, Lady Sarah brought a brush and a bar of soap made of olive oil and salt.

They marched towards them menacingly...

After the children were settled.

Yara, Dicttis, Pan, and Old Tyr.

The group exchanged glances...

They immediately understood each other's meaning.

Immediately afterwards, the group grabbed their weapons and went out under the cover of night...

Some people who couldn't sleep that night vaguely heard the howls and roars of wild beasts, thinking they were being haunted by ghosts, and kept praying to God...

And when it got light the next day.

At the entrance of the village, a small hill made up of wild animal carcasses appeared.

The Canaanites ate meat for half a month, to the point of vomiting, before they could barely finish off these wild beasts.

For the next year.

Whether they were Canaanites, or passing caravans and travelers...

No one has seen wild animals around Canaan since.
