The author has something to say: The new article has been opened, please bookmark→_→
Natatos is the god of death in the underworld, in charge of the soul after death.
Unlike Aphrodite, the god of life, Natatos, who is the god of death, is quite unpopular in the world. He has very little power of faith. Except for a few people who show themselves differently, faith There are very few people who die.
Natos doesn't care much about the power of human belief, and his ability doesn't need to be obtained from human belief—when a human dies, the necromantic aura that emanates is his energy source.
People die every moment in this world, and his power is endless, almost inexhaustible.
How long Natatos lived, he didn't know himself, since the first life appeared on this planet, he has already appeared in this world.
At the beginning of life, death has been with us like a shadow, and the shadow of death hangs over every life, waiting to snatch their life.
As a powerful god, Tatos has many gods of death under his command. After all, there are so many human beings, and it is impossible for him to collect souls one by one, even as a god.
In fact, Natatos seldom wanders around the human world. Compared with the human world, he prefers the atmosphere of the underworld. There is no sunlight that he dislikes, and no green plants that he dislikes. The sky and the earth in the underworld are both deep and shallow. The red color is very similar to human blood.
The development of human beings is changing with each passing day. There are many things that gods will be curious about, such as mobile phones, computers, and various household tools with strange functions.
In order to help Hades, the king of the underworld, manage the underworld well, Natatos will stay in the world for a period of time every few hundred years to see a completely different scene from the underworld.
Decades have passed since the last time he went to the human world. This was not supposed to be the day when Natos went to the human world, but one day, the goddess of fate Noens came to the underworld.
Norns was stimulated for some reason, so he made a bet with Natatos.
Natatos didn't have much interest in this solitary life at first, but Norns placed a huge bet. If Natatos won this solitary life, Norns promised to give Natatos a piece of money. Bottle of fresh juice from the tree of life.
Natatos was tempted and agreed to the gamble.
Seeing that Tatos agreed, Norns laughed, his emerald green eyes were full of starlight.
"If you lose, then you must give me your long hair."
Natatos has very beautiful long black hair. He has kept it for tens of thousands of years and has never cut it. Knowns with long emerald green hair has taken a fancy to Natatos' long hair a long time ago.
Natatos glanced at Norns, his tone indifferent: "You won't have a chance to get it."
Knowns' eyes were burning: "Then we will wait and see."
Natatos didn't speak any more, and the black air around him seemed to be thicker than before. Knowns understood that this was the meaning of seeing off the guests, so he turned and left Natatos' residence without stopping.
As for Natatos's long black hair, Norns is determined to win, and she will undoubtedly win this bet.
Not long after Norns left, Natos also left the underworld. Hades had a strange smile on his face when he knew that Tatos had left the underworld.
No one knows the character of Natatos better than Hades. Natatos may look like a very indifferent god who is not interested in anything, but only Hades knows that Tatos Competitive character.
As long as he wants it, he will get it by any means.
He was tired of seeing Tatos' expressionless face, he really wanted to see Tatos showing other expressions besides indifference.
He waits and sees.
***
He has not been to the human world for decades, and compared to the last time Natatos came, this country, which is called the United States by humans, seems to be more prosperous than before, and there seem to be more people before.
To Natos, there is actually no big difference between human beings, whether they are old or young, beautiful or ugly, after becoming souls, they are just a ball of radiant souls. The only difference is, It is roughly the difference between the brightness of the soul ball's light.
The soul ball has seen a lot, and looking at those humans who don't shine, Tatos always feels that they seem to be missing something.
The Creator is very miraculous, no one would have imagined that after taking off the hindering skin, the human soul would become so radiant.
Washington, this is the city where the human being that Natatos and Norns bet on is located.
Natatos sent away the gods of death in this area, and harvested the souls himself.
Reaper's work is actually quite boring. Tatos hasn't done it himself for a long time, but his skills are not unfamiliar.
Death harvests human souls, but the death of human beings is not determined by the death god. When a human being speaks out, the goddess of fate decides the fate of this person's life. From birth to death, everything is determined by the goddess of fate. Take control.
Regarding the goddess of fate, Natos actually has some small prejudices. It is not the god of death that determines a person's life and death, but the goddess of fate. The god of death is only responsible for pulling out the dead soul from the body. The way to die is not determined by the god of death.
However, human beings hate the god of death very much, thinking that the god of death took their lives, but when it comes to the goddess of fate who really decides their life and death, human beings wish they could kneel at her feet and beg for her mercy.
Unlike the god of death, the power of faith in the goddess of fate is the strongest among the gods.
Swinging the sickle, he hooked out the soul that was unwilling to escape from his body. Tatos looked at the shimmering soul ball, and put it in his sleeve with a blank expression.
The light of this soul ball is very weak, and the smell is also very bad. It must have done a lot of evil things during its lifetime.
Natatos hadn't done this kind of grassroots work for a long time, and there were inevitably some omissions in some places. This also caused him to not have time to hook the souls of the dead people out of their bodies, causing them to live for a while longer.
Such a small mistake caught the attention of the Goddess of Fate, and Tatos listened to the mocking voice of Norns on the phone with a cold face.
"Natatos, I never thought you would make such a mentally retarded mistake..."
Natatos unilaterally cut off the call without waiting for Norns to finish speaking.
Those mistakes did not cause too much loss. Basically, they were negligible, and Knowens was too fussy.
The eerie phone rang again, and Natos glanced at the huge face above the phone screen, and slowly connected the phone.
"Natatos, don't forget our game."
Natatos hung up the phone and crushed the phone into pieces.
This kind of human communication tool is convenient, but I always feel like I have a locator on my body, so that others can know where you are at any time. As a god who pays attention to privacy, this kind of feeling of revealing your whereabouts is not very good. great.
Goddess of Destiny has been very bored recently, looking through the book of destiny that she wrote, in the book, she found a very strange variable.
The goddess of fate is in charge of the fate of everything in the world. In this world, no creature can escape her control. However, on her book of fate, there is an existence that is not controlled by her. The power of that thing is very powerful. It seemed that the fates of those around her were twisted and changed.
The first thing Norns thought of was not to get rid of this odd number, but Natotos's beautiful long black hair that made people suffocate.
She made a bet with Natatos that if he succeeded in taking the man's soul, she would give him a vial of sap from the Tree of Life.
Natatos was fooled.
Knowns was in a good mood, and she could almost foresee the day when she would be lying in her black ribbon-like hair.
Well, that must be nice.
***
Natatos saw his target.
That is a very special human being. Tatos doesn't know what language to use to describe it. If he really wants to care about it, it probably means that the soul of that human being is very dazzling. Can't hide the light of her soul.
Natatos has never seen such a beautiful soul, and her smell is also very good, like the smell of moonlight, clear and cold.
Natatos couldn't wait to take her soul out and see what her soul would look like without the skin.
However, Natatos couldn't see her fate line, and there was no specific time of her death on the Death Book.
Everything is just as Norns said, the fate of this human being seems to have been messed up, and the fate of those around her has also undergone tremendous changes.
Natatos became interested. He had lived for an unknown amount of time and had never seen such a scene. He wanted to see what the fate of these people would turn out to be, and how they would die.
After locking the target, Natatos called back the little Reaper who was in charge of this area, and told her that except for these people, other souls were still harvested by him.
The little god of death went there with gratitude, soul is equal to power, the more souls harvested, the stronger the power that little god of death can get, and he can become stronger.
After sending away the little Reaper, Natos looked at the human girl named Qin Yue with great interest, wanting to see what kind of surprise she could bring him.
The life of a god is too long, and if you live too long, you will always be lonely, and you always want to have some fun.
In the next few days, Natatos watched a few big plays, and had to admit that the goddess of fate planned the ups and downs of the fate of these human beings. In an abyss.
Natatos watched with relish, but he did not forget his mission, to save the souls with strong or weak light.
That special human was also killed by Natatos once, but the soul ball he took out was slightly different from what he had seen before.
The light of this soul ball is very bright, but it does not have the moonlight fragrance that is unique to that soul.
Obviously the same soul, isn't it?
Natatos was a little puzzled, but soon, he knew the cause of the problem.
That human soul can be split, or in other words, her soul, including her body, can be copied infinitely.
Natatos has never seen such an ability. Even the power of gods like them can create human beings, but they cannot create countless identical souls.
Natatos became interested, and all of this made him feel very fresh and interesting, like a long life that had turned into a pool of stagnant water, causing waves again. Although the waves were so small that they could be ignored, they still Let the gods who are tired of the long life raise the desire to explore.
In a sense, gods are not much different from humans.
These similar souls were not sent back to the underworld by Natatos, he chose another way, another way, which he had not done for tens of thousands of years.
He ate all these highly similar souls.
The delicacy he hadn't enjoyed for hundreds of thousands of years evoked some of his memories, good or bad.
Natatos paid more attention to her, and then, he discovered that besides him, there was another power watching his prey.
As a god, many things cannot be done at will. The world does not restrict them much, but they still need to abide by some rules.
Natatos found the identity of the thing.
A demon, a demon assembled from the evil side of humanity.
That demon lives in another world, and the mirror is used as a medium to connect the two worlds.
As the god of this world, that can be said to be a virtual world is not under his jurisdiction, so Natatos cannot intervene in the affairs of that world.
Similarly, the devil in the mirror world has no way to intervene in this side of the world.
Natatos didn't take that demon seriously, thinking that he was incapable of snatching what he set his sights on.
However, the development of things was always beyond his expectations. After killing that human being again, a sudden change occurred, and her soul was sucked into the mirror, becoming a person from the world over there.
His bet seemed to be lost.
Would Natatos, the god of death, admit defeat so easily?
The answer is yes.
He will not.
It took him five months to break the intermediary between the two worlds and pull Qin Yue back from the world in the mirror to the real world.
He won, whether the devil was angry or cursed, he finally brought her back.
After bringing her back to this world, Natatos found that the strange power in her was disappearing, and she had no way to split into an individual that was exactly like her.
After enjoying a good meal, do you want to go back to the dull days of the past?
Natatos would not.
After she lost that power, the fate line slowly recovered, but her soul light was still so radiant that it made people want to take it into their pockets.
Natatos did not forget his duty, he wanted to get her soul, and he wanted it with great urgency.
However, when he finally wanted to get her soul out of his body, something happened.
He watched her soul being taken away by a powerful unknown force, and after that, he never saw her trace in this world again.
He lost this gamble, and the long black hair that had been cultivated for tens of thousands of years was taken away by Noens, the goddess of fate.
Before she left, Natatos asked, "Did you already know?"
Knowing that she is special, knowing that she is not a figure in their world, knowing that it is impossible for him to catch her.
Knowns got black hair and was in the right mood. She turned her head and looked at Tatos sitting on the throne.
Among the gods, except for Venus, Natatos is the most beautiful existence.
Noens couldn't describe his beauty in words. If he had to say it, Noens felt that if he showed his true colors during ecstasy, those souls who didn't want to die would definitely follow him away with great pleasure. .
"I do not know."
Knowns replied with a strong sense of reason, she knew that the person named Qin Yue was very special, so special that her appearance disrupted her established book of destiny.
But what Norns didn't expect was that Tatos would be interested in this ordinary person.
"In return for getting your hair, let me remind you that that human named Qin Yue is very, very special. I can feel that there is a more powerful force behind her."
"So, let it all end here, and don't go any further."
A few days later, the Norns got a message from Hades, the king of the underworld.
Natatos left the underworld without a trace.
The able-bodied generals under him ran away. If it is false to say that Pluto is not in a hurry, then Tatos is not here, and he has to be responsible for the group of death gods under him.
Pluto, who has been idle for too long: he has to get this slacker back.
***
Traveling through the barriers between worlds is not an easy task for Natatos. Even if he is a god, he still has to pay some price for breaking the rules and doing these things.
Natatos lost part of his memory and turned into an ordinary human being, Shen Yi, which was his name.
Shen Yi felt that his name should not be so short. He vaguely remembered his name, which seemed to be a very long paragraph, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out clearly.
Shen Yi felt that there were some problems with his memory, but he didn't understand what the problem was.
He remembered that the tall man standing next to him seemed to be his good friend, whose name was Lin Huai.
But as a good friend, Shen Yi felt that Lin Huai's attitude towards him was abnormal, as if he was guarding against him, and seemed to be afraid of him.
This is not the behavior of normal friends.
Shen Yi secretly paid attention and marked Lin Huai as a key suspect.
A few minutes later, Shen Yi realized belatedly that he was actually on top of a minibus driving at high speed.
Shen Yi blinked, a little slow, in his memory, it seemed that he had never taken such a means of transportation.
Shen Yi rubbed the center of his brows, feeling that the memory in his mind was a bit chaotic, he seemed to have lost part of his memory, and was forced to insert part of it, and the two sides mixed together, giving him an unreal feeling.
Everything in front of me seems to be something in an illusion, they should not exist in the first place.
As soon as this thought appeared, Shen Yi's face changed slightly, and Lin Huai, who was sitting next to him, seemed to sense something wrong with Shen Yi, and asked with concern: "Shen Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Lin Huai blinked and smiled. That smile should have been very warm, but when it fell into Shen Yi's eyes, it made him feel that it was a provocation from him.
Shen Yi didn't say a word, all of this seemed extraordinarily weird, he couldn't tell the reason but instinctively felt that he didn't like it.
A woman's exclamation suddenly came from the originally quiet carriage: "Claire? Why are you here?"
Shen Yi's body shook, as if attracted by some force, he looked in the direction of the sound.
The lights in the carriage were very dim, and the woman sitting in the back seat had her face mostly hidden in the darkness, but Shen Yi's eyes clearly penetrated the darkness and saw her face.
It was a very delicate face, not pretty, but it looked very comfortable.
Shen Yi's expression was a little dazed, and some fragmented pictures flashed across his mind. Before he could catch those pictures, he saw Lin Huai who was sitting beside him also turned his head back.
Shen Yi felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that his belongings were being coveted by others.
"Lin Huai, what are you looking at?"
Before Shen Yi realized it, he had already asked the question.
Lin Huai raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Yi, and said nonchalantly, "Everyone likes beautiful things, tell me, right?"
He seemed to mean something, but also seemed to say it casually, making it hard to tell whether it was true or false.
Shen Yi didn't want to delve into it, and a lot of things came to mind.
The continuous pictures made up the first half of a man's life, from birth to death, a book of destiny written by the perfect reality goddess of destiny.
Shen Yi froze for a moment, Goddess of Fate?Book of Destiny?What are those?
His mind was a little confused, Shen Yi rubbed Sun Xu, feeling as if some kind of power was trying to make these memories real, but the people who watched this scene felt that everything was like a layer of mist, fluttering. Miao Miao can't see clearly.
His name is Shen Yi, but he himself feels that his name is not Shen Yi. The flawless memories in his mind make him feel no sense of substitution.
The car was driving on the bumpy winding mountain road, the sky outside seemed to be splashed with thick ink, and it was very dark.
The pouring rain was pouring down without any sign of stopping. Shen Yi felt a little sleepy inexplicably. He closed his eyes and fell into a dreamland.
This time, Shen Yi fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up again, he had already arrived at his destination.
After getting out of the car, the fresh air with the smell of mud rushing towards his face, his originally sluggish spirit instantly lifted up.
Shen Yi felt that he was out of tune with everything around him. He was like an indifferent bystander, watching these people and these things.
His eyes always unconsciously fell on that delicate-looking little girl, and he always felt that there was something in her that he wanted to get.
what is it?
Shen Yi fell into deep thought and didn't notice the probing gaze cast by Lin Huai next to him.
This is a small village deep in the mountains. In order to experience the mountain village scenery here, they deliberately abandoned the dirty air of the big city and came to this place to cleanse their souls.
This is an idea from Shen Yi's mind, it doesn't belong to him, it seems to be stuffed in secretly by someone.
This feeling of letting others toss makes Shen Yi feel very uncomfortable, as if he was offended by others, and the anger in his heart is suppressed, and it accumulates more and more, just waiting to reach the zero point, and it will explode.
The next itinerary is not very interesting. The scenery in the mountains is actually the same everywhere. People who are used to city life go to this kind of place, but they are asking for guilt. After a few days of suffering, they go back You will appreciate your life more.
Many things happen, often out of control.
When the first deceased appeared, Shen Yi felt a strong sense of disobedience.
There was no death energy on the dead man, and no soul ball appeared.
Shen Yi didn't know how these two words came out. Death Qi, which can be understood literally, he knew very well, so what is the soul ball?Why did he say that the deceased did not have a soul ball?
These two words were like a lock, unlocking the key that locked his memory, those sealed memories slowly recovered, and he remembered a lot of things.
For Shen Yi, or rather Natos, as a god, he would be confused by the virtual memory created by other things, which is a great shame for him.
It's just that when seeing the devil in the mirror still unable to break free from the virtual figure, Natatos has a strange sense of balance.
It wasn't that he was being played alone.
Even as a god, there are many things that are not clear, such as this strange world.
In this world, except for him, the devil in the mirror, and Qin Yue, everyone else has no soul.
The power and rules of each world are different, but as long as a person is strong or weak, good or bad, there must be a soul.
These people don't have souls, and they don't look like puppets, so what kind of existence are they?
Natatos didn't know, and he didn't want to explore. He crossed the barrier between worlds with only one purpose, to take away Qin Yue, a soul with radiant light.
However, whenever Natatos wanted to make some moves, Lin Huai would always appear appropriately to stop him.
Natatos expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Huai's behavior, but he couldn't do anything to him.
This is not his world, he can feel the instability of this world, if he and Lin Huai fight, this small world may not be able to withstand their power and collapse.
Destroying a world is a strictly forbidden act for the gods. The rules are there. If they violate it, they will be deprived of their godhood and become ordinary people.
No one who became a god wants to become an ordinary person. There was once a god who insisted on going his own way and destroyed several worlds one after another. In the end, he was punished by heaven, and his godhead was erased, and he became a sick, disabled, and ordinary person.
The god of death saw the once majestic god when he was seducing the soul. He died a miserable death, and the light of the formed soul orb was extremely dim, without a trace of life.
With his lessons learned from the past, when the gods want to do something, they always have to think about the fate of that god.
Natatos held back his breath.
If you don't want to be woven by the goddess of fate, you have to keep yourself safe and obey the rules.
When people were almost dead, Natos finally understood what kind of world this world is.
It is actually a world imagined by the human brain. No wonder those people do not have souls. They are just split personalities. It is normal to have no souls.
With the deaths of those people, the world began to collapse, and Natos once again watched Qin Yue disappear before his eyes.
The things already in his hands escaped from his hands again, and Natos felt that he could no longer bear it.
The long life is too boring, and finally found an interesting existence, he is determined to win her.
***
What will happen to human beings who deceive the God of Death?
Reaper relying on a cruise ship has long been a cyclical world. The person who made a mistake chose to deceive Reaper again and again, and she will naturally repeat this painful reincarnation again and again.
This is the fate of deceiving the gods.
When Natatos entered this world, everything was over, the girl changed, but he still recognized her identity from her bright soul light.
"Qin Yue..."
This world is a world he is familiar with, and there are forces he is familiar with.
He can use his power with impunity.
He held the dead soul in his hand, but before he could turn her into a soul orb, a huge suction suddenly appeared, and the ball of soul in his hand broke away from his power and entered the vortex.
If the god has obsession, what will he become?
Natatos followed the soul into the vortex.
No matter what lies ahead, he will never be afraid.
***
The price of forcibly entering that vortex is that all the power is sealed, and he has to accompany her in a state of being invisible, experiencing one world after another.
He watched her escape from death countless times, even after all the hardships, she did not change her mind.
Natatos finally understood where the brilliance of her soul came from. After experiencing so many strange tasks, her soul had already been tempered.
Natatos has been locked by Qin Yue's side, never leaving.
This was the punishment given to him by the existence that was stronger than him, because of his trespassing, that existence sealed all his abilities.
Natatos doesn't know how many years have passed, such a long time, for a god with a long life, he is not actually a god.
But for a human being, these times are still too long.
Natatos thought that after so many years and so many worlds, her choice would falter.
However, when she really completed all the tasks and stood in front of that existence, he knew that he was wrong.
This girl took everything that happened here as an illusory dream. She was unwilling and would not stay in this world and enjoy the false warmth of those people.
She wants to return to the world she is in, return to her body, and live the life she wants.
That existence met her requirements, and because of her outstanding performance, it came with many unique benefits.
The little girl who has matured a lot left this world and returned to her world.
And Natatos, who has always been the spirit behind her, was also returned to his power by the powerful existence.
Everyone has wishes, and every god has their own wishes. People worship gods, and gods worship a more powerful existence. Natatos sought the help of that existence, and after exchanging conditions, he chased into the world where she was. .
***
After Qin Yue escaped from Qingmu Sanatorium, she lived the life she wanted.
She took back all her parents' property, occupied her family property with the heart and soul, and drove the uncle's family who she threw into the nursing home out of the city.
Qin Yue did not become a special existence because of her own strength, she started to go to school like every ordinary person.
I don't know how long she has lived, a person with a little bit of intelligence, there is no big problem with high school studies, Qin Yue has successfully become a member of the school bully.
Rich, beautiful, and intelligent, Qin Yue has almost become synonymous with perfection. Many boys have a crush on her, and some bold ones often block Qin Yue from confessing.
For these little boys, Qin Yue's attitude has always been the same, and she doesn't accept them.
A boy who is not determined is no less troublesome to her than a baby who cannot walk.
One semester passed, and when the second semester started, Qin Yue heard from her classmates that a very, very handsome English teacher came back from the class.
Regarding this, Qin Yue was noncommittal. In her eyes, there was not much difference between old and young, handsome and ugly.
She has seen all kinds of stunning looks, but Qin Yue really has no interest in the handsome, unrestrained foreign teacher that these students are talking about.
When it was time for class, a tall figure walked in with a stack of lesson plans.
When the students saw his appearance, they gasped and dared not say anything.
It was a very, very handsome man, and these children no longer knew what words to use to describe his handsomeness.
He was as handsome as a movie star walking down from a movie poster, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Hearing each other's ups and downs of exclamation, Qin Yue couldn't help but feel a little strange, and raised her head curiously, Qin Yue saw the appearance of that person.
As the students said, it was an extremely handsome foreign man.
His eyebrows are thin and long, his eyes are big and energetic, his nose is high and his lips are red.
For some reason, the idiom "beautiful beauty can be eaten" suddenly popped up in Qin Yue's mind.
She froze for a while, her face felt a little hot for no reason.
She is an old lolita monster who has lived for who knows how many years, and she still has a feeling of heart palpitations when she sees a handsome young man.
Is she crazy?
Qin Yue was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't look away. The man noticed Qin Yue and looked in her direction.
When he saw Qin Yue's appearance, his eyes lit up, and there seemed to be water flowing in the ice blue eyes.
"Qin Yue."
He called out the name very familiarly, walked down from the podium, and walked to her side.
Qin Yue blinked, she was sure that no matter in the mission world or in the real world, she never knew such a handsome and over-the-top man.
who is he?How do you know her name?
The man walked up to her and looked at her from above, because you were against the light, Qin Yue couldn't see his face clearly, but only saw those eyes that seemed to be shining with water.
"My name is Natatos."
"The name of the god of death in Greek mythology?"
Qin Yue felt that the parents who came up with this name probably had a brain twitch, what's wrong with it?Why do you want to call your own child the god of death?
However, Natos didn't think there was anything wrong with his name, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded: "I am him."
At that time, Qin Yue didn't understand the meaning of Natatos's words, until many, many years later, Qin Yue discovered Natatos' true identity.
At that time, Qin Yue relentlessly asked Natatos why he didn't tell her his real identity?
Natatos was a little helpless, and felt that the little girl had been with him for a long time, but she felt as if she was living more and more.
"I told you, when we first met, do you remember what I said?"
Qin Yue was stunned, recalling what happened back then.
"My name is Natatos."
"I am him."
It turned out that he had already revealed his identity, but she, who was stupid, didn't know this fact until many years later.
Qin Yue felt that her full intelligence value was in danger.
"It's okay, I love you."
No matter what you become, your soul, will never change.
And I will always love your soul.
