Mythology Rebooted

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

Indian Mythology: the Heavenly Emperor is not working today

In Indian mythology, the Three Aspects Deity suppressed the current age. Many Immortals cursed all the gods. Asuras, after millennia of arduous cultivation, would always attack the Heavenly Realm and beat up the Heavenly Emperor upon receiving a boon. "Arduous cultivation, receiving boons, beating up the Heavenly Emperor, why is Indian mythology always like this? I'm the one who gets beaten and suffers; I quit!" Indra, who had reincarnated as the Heavenly Emperor, was furious. And so... "Whoever loves being the Heavenly Emperor, be my guest; I'm not going to work!" Indra said. "Hey, hey, hey, the script isn't supposed to go like this," the Destroyer God Shiva said, full of question marks. "You've performed great meritorious deeds in the past. This position of the Heavenly Emperor is rightfully yours. If not, there will be chaos in the world!" the Protector God Vishnu said anxiously. "No, Heavenly Emperor, I'll give you a boon. Go quickly and beat up the Asura!" the Creator God Brahma spoke thus.

Oh, so this story is like Greek mythology. The mc is Chaos or also known as the void which is believe to be the origin of other entities such as gods, goddesses, humans, and the universe. So it's like the story of Chaos after it is reincarnated. A crazy idea. Cool.

They were placed on islands or rocks near the sea. Their voices were so alluring that any sailor who heard them would be drawn towards them, unable to resist the temptation, and this would often lead to their death as they crashed their ships.

The origin of the universe in Greek mythology could be traced back to the Chaos Era. According to the description in Hesiod's Divine Records, the original universe was just chaos, without order or boundaries. In the chaos, the god of chaos, Haus, Gaia, the mother of the earth, Tartarus, the god of hell, and Eros, the god of love, appeared. Mother Earth Gaia gave birth to Uranus from her body, and Uranus and Gaia combined to give birth to the Twelve Titans. However, Uranus hated his children and locked them underground, not allowing them to see the light. Gaia, the Mother of Earth, encouraged her children to rebel. Only Cronus bravely resisted Uranus and rescued his imprisoned brothers and sisters, becoming the leader of the new generation of gods. Cronus married his sister Ria. In order to prevent his children from rebelling, he swallowed his own children. His youngest son, Zeus, was hidden by his mother Reah. When he grew up, he plotted to make Cronus spit out the children he had swallowed. He then joined forces with them to overthrow Cronus and become the supreme ruler of the new generation of gods. The origin of the universe in Greek mythology reflected the life and family relationships in the later stages of the clan society.
