《Greek Mythology: Devouring Three Hecatoncheires From The Start》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At any given point in time, new legends could arise. At the beginning of the universe, when heaven and earth were yet to be formed, the First God of the universe, Caius, was born. Caius was the God of Chaos. He took no form. He was a vast, endless space of nothingness. After countless years, he gave birth to four gods of creation. The wheels started to churn, and the world began. After that, the gods evolved and so did the Divine Court. Now, it was time for the second generation of the Divine Court to compete with the third generation of the Divine Court for supremacy. Tartarus¡¯ endless Abyss of Hell was the true form of its namesake Tartarus, one of the Gods of Creation. It represented the bottom of the world and was a sealed territory that imprisoned countless demons and kept gods out. At that moment, in a certain space at the bottom of Tartarus, an extremely strange scene was playing out. Three incomparably huge and extremely terrifying monsters were being tightly entangled by an indescribable power. The monsters were tens of thousands of feet tall, with 50 heads of various shapes and sizes growing out of their thick and long exaggerated necks. Their bodies were enveloped with rippling muscles and 100 huge hands growing out of them. They were the monsters among monsters. At that moment, the three hundred-armed giants that were completely identical to each other were actually fused together by an irresistible divine power. They emitted a resplendent light that illuminated the entire space. Time passed by for an unknown number of years. From the initial mass of stubborn, resistant, writhing flesh, they gradually turned into a huge egg. The eggshell glowed with inexplicable runes, brilliant light flowing across its surface. From the inside, barely seen through the shell was the flickering of a seven-colored divine light. It looked incomparably sacred and inviolable. Lorne still could not understand why he had transmigrated, and why of all worlds it had to be Greek mythology. Inexplicably, it was as if he had fused with and swallowed the three legendary Hecatoncheires. Now that he had taken over their nest, he had taken the form of a giant egg that was in the process of transforming. Who knew what he would hatch as. However, when he thought of the description and introduction of the Hecatoncheires, he could not help but shudder. These giants were extremely hideous. They each had fifty heads and a hundred arms. The moment they were born, they were thrown into the endless abyss by the father, Uranus, and imprisoned in Tartarus, closely guarded at all times. They had remained in this dark hell for their entire lives. It was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying these three hundred-armed giants were. Otherwise, as the sons of the first god, King Uranus, they could be considered princes. How could royalty be treated like this? However, Lorne felt that there was another explanation. The king of gods had the ability to predict the future. He had predicted that his church would be overthrown by his most powerful sons. Therefore, when Lorne saw these immensely powerful beings, he instantly saw their worth. Perhaps they were the ones who had the potential to overthrow the current divine court and imprison their creators in turn. Even so, someone beat them to it. Their son, Cronus, overthrew and replaced the divine court, opening up the era of Titans and establishing the second generation of the Divine Court. However, Cronus was still very fearful of these three brothers. They were highly dangerous and would remain locked up in Tartarus until they were rescued by Zeus, the Third God-King. Therefore, Lorne was worried about his appearance and also worried about his future. He did not want to end up like these three guys. ¡°I don¡¯t even know which era we¡¯re living in now!¡± Lorne could only watch on as the giant egg slowly evolved. He looked at the dark sky outside and grew somewhat curious. The three Hecatoncheires were still imprisoned in Tartarus Hell, which meant that this was still the second generation of the Divine Court, the era of Cronus. Based on what he knew in his previous life, the three Hecatoncheires were only able to escape from Tartarus with the help of the third generation God-King Zeus. The reason why Zeus helped them escape from that literal hell was because the Olympian gods led by Zeus were being pushed back in the battle against the Titans led by the second generation Divine Court, headed by Cronus. At that point in time, Zeus¡¯official wife, the third generation diva Hera, suggested that Zeus sought out the three Hecatoncheires. Only then did Zeus finally save them. The hundred-armed giants did not disappoint Zeus¡¯expectations. They were able to throw 100 giant rocks, each as large as mountains in one go, forcing the Titans back. In the end, Zeus won. The three of them ended up as the guards of Tartarus. The greatest contributors were reduced to guard duties. Even Zeus was fearful of the divine powers of his three uncles. Lorne thought that it was extremely unfair. Now that he had replaced these three fellows, he definitely would not allow himself to fall into this situation and help Zeus. To hell with it! ¡°A single giant is already so powerful. If I am to be the sum of all three, what would I end up as?¡± Lorne was looking forward to his strength after transforming. So what if he turned out three times as hideous? In this chaotic era of warfaring gods, strength was all that mattered. ¡°To think that one day I would end up as a deity in Greek mythology!¡± Lorne¡¯s heart went through a series of fluctuating emotions as he sighed. He did not have any plans after transforming, but he knew that he needed to get out of this place. As for the Battle of the Gods, they were none of his concern. According to the records of his previous life, the world ruled by Cronus was known as the Golden Age. Humans lived happily with the gods without any worries, and they listened to their will sincerely. Humans did not have to worry about food, disease, and death. Their bodies were strong and powerful. Lorne did not think this was a bad thing. Compared to the Silver Age of Zeus, humans at least lived and worked in peace. He was now a god, but he still viewed humans as his kind. Although humans disrespected the gods and blasphemed the gods for various reasons, they were still on relatively good terms in this age. He saw no need to change this situation. Just as he slowly transformed, the Olympian gods led by Zeus were standing on the peak of Mount Olympus, and the Titans led by Cronus were standing on the peak of Mount Othrys. The two sides looked at each other across the sky, having a staredown of mythical proportions. ¡°Zeus! You unfilial son, how dare you rebel against this king?¡± Cronus looked at the mighty Zeus in annoyance. He could not help but ask. Zeus looked at the gods behind him and could not help but be in high spirits. His heroic spirit soared to the sky.. When he heard Cronus¡¯ question, he took a step forward and shouted back, ¡°Father! You have brought this upon yourself! If not for your savagery and brutality, why else would we rebel?¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After hearing Zeus¡¯ reply, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, and the others behind him glared at Cronus. Their eyes were filled with fire. After all, they had all been swallowed by Cronus. If not for Zeus¡¯rescue¡­ they would have remained in his belly! ¡°Hmph! If that¡¯s the case, do not fault me for what is to come!¡± When Cronus heard this, he knew that his children were truly determined to rebel. He flew into a rage. ¡°Attack! Bring me Zeus!¡± Cronus directly drew out his divine sword and waved it forward. Immediately, the Titans behind him charged. Zeus and the others were not willing to be outdone. They rushed into the sky and charged towards the Titan. From that moment, the sky and earth cracked, the mountains and rivers lost their color, and all living things died. The gods fought until the sky and earth turned dark. Countless drops of blood rained down on the earth. Cronus personally moved in to capture Zeus, but he was halted by Poseidon and Hades. ¡­ In the palace at the top of Mount Olympus. Zeus and the other gods took their seats one after another. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and solemn. ¡°Age has not weakened Father and the other Titans in the slightest! We won¡¯t be able to defeat him even if we continue fighting! Does anyone here have any ideas?¡± Zeus asked in a deep voice when he saw this. Although Poseidon and Hades were eager, they were still helpless when they saw the situation. ¡°That¡¯s right! God-King Cronus came from powerful beginnings. His power runs deep. If we continue fighting, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to overthrow his rule!¡± Many gods shook their heads. ¡°If we continue fighting, the entire world will be destroyed. We do not want to attract the attention of the Primordials when they¡¯ve seen enough.¡± ¡°What is it then, we surrender? Be devoured by Father again or be expelled into the Endless Abyss?¡± ¡°Impossible! We will not surrender even if we die! We will resist to the end!¡± Many gods spoke up. The six siblings led by Zeus turned down the prospect of surrendering, their resolve firm and unyielding. What kind of joke was this? They had just escaped danger, so how could they surrender again? For a moment, the entire hall fell into silence. All of a sudden, the eyes of a beautiful woman beside Zeus lit up, as if she had thought of something. ¡°Zeus, I have an idea!¡± She whispered to Zeus, and immediately, all the gods in the hall looked over. Zeus was delighted. He looked at his wife and asked in surprise, ¡°Hera, my baby, what do you have in mind?¡± ¡°Legend has it that many ancient gods were banished from the endless abyss of Tartarus. Legend has it that the First God-King Uranus once gave birth to three monsters. Uranus frowned upon them and banished them to the hell of Tartarus. ¡°According to the Divine Records, the three of them have strange and terrifying bodies. They each have fifty heads and a hundred giant hands. They are known as Hecatoncheires. They are like wild beasts, but they have endless strength and immense divine power. Now that they have been banished to Tartarus, as long as we get their help, we should be able to defeat the Cronus Divine Court, right?¡± Hera saw the anticipation in her husband¡¯s eyes. She smiled and slowly told him her plan. The gods in the main hall frowned and began to think. Many of the gods¡¯ eyes lit up. They all knew this tale well, but it had not crossed any of their minds just yet. ¡°That¡¯s right! It is said that Uranus not only hated their looks, but he was also afraid of their strength. That¡¯s why he exiled them upon birth. It seems that they are very powerful!¡± ¡°If we free the Hecatoncheires and obtain their loyalty, we will definitely be able to overthrow the Titan Court!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. When the time comes, we will defeat Cronus in one fell swoop and build a new court!¡± The gods expressed their opinions one after another. They were very excited. When Zeus heard the last part, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his heart. Build a new court? Would that not make him a new God-King? This was something he had never thought of before. A huge ambition began to fill his heart. ¡°Alright! Send someone to talk to my three uncles first! Reel them into our camp!¡± Zeus was also unusually excited at this time and made a decision immediately. Thus, he sent three confidants to Tartarus to find the Hecatoncheires. ¡­ At that moment, in Tartarus. Lorne was feeling extremely bored. He had been in the form for too long and was extremely bored of this unknown space. He decided that he was going to take a good look at this mythical world after he transformed. At this moment, three auras suddenly came from outside the space, which surprised Lorne. He had been in this world for so long and no one had come to look for him. ¡°Excuse me, are you the Hecatoncheires?¡± Not long after, a loud but nervous voice came from outside. Lorne frowned. ¡°I am them! Who are you? How dare you barge into Tartarus?¡± ¡°We are here to rescue you!¡± Lorne¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Rescue him? Huh? Could it be Zeus? It seemed like they were in the middle of their war with the Titans. ¡°Oh? Rescue me?¡± Lorne immediately guessed their identities, but he still pretended to be confused. ¡°That¡¯s right. We are Sir Zeus¡¯ subordinates. We have been ordered to release you.¡± Upon hearing Lorne¡¯s confusion, one of the people in the space outside was instantly overjoyed. ¡°Who is Zeus?¡± ¡°Sir Zeus is the son of God King Kronos, and also your nephew.¡± ¡°Why save me now?¡± ¡°Sir Zeus is currently resisting Cronus¡¯ rule. Knowing that Cronus has imprisoned you here, he has specially invited you to join us! Together, we will overthrow the court of Kronos!¡± Upon hearing the other party¡¯s words, Lorne instantly understood what was going on. He could not help but sneer. That boy Zeus was in trouble. He wants to borrow my power? If it were the Hecatoncheires from before, they would definitely agree in the name of freedom, right? The three people outside waited for a long time but did not hear Lorne¡¯s voice. They were a little puzzled. ¡°Great Hecatoncheires, are you willing to join us? After defeating Cronus, you will take his place as one of the greatest gods! We can take this opportunity to expel Kronos into the endless abyss! Take revenge!¡± It was a tempting offer. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I will take revenge myself!¡± Lorne refused without even thinking. What a joke. The one who imprisoned him was Uranus. If he wanted revenge, he would have to look for Uranus. These guys actually wanted to use him against Cronus? Lorne¡¯s refusal was something the other three had not expected. They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss. ¡°Hecatoncheires? Don¡¯t you want to be free? As long as you agree to join us, Sir Zeus will do his best to save you! ¡°Get lost! I can release myself if I want to! Why would I need your help? Begone with the useless talk, a mere child of Zeus wants me to pledge loyalty to him? Ridiculous!¡± Lorne¡¯s words were full of disdain for Zeus, causing the three people outside to change their expressions. They knew that it was impossible to get the help of the Hecatoncheires! They walked away crestfallen.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The three people who returned to the peak of Mount Olympus recounted the entire incident without missing a single word. Zeus¡¯ expression was extremely unsightly, and the other gods were also somewhat puzzled. When did the Hecatoncheires become so unyielding? They even sounded intelligent? ¡°Bastard! How dare those giants humiliate me like this! After I finish off Father, I will definitely send them into the endless abyss! They will never return!¡± Zeus¡¯ handsome face revealed a ferocious expression. He slapped his thigh and gnashed his teeth. ¡°Looks like I won¡¯t be able to get the help of the Hecatoncheires. What should I do now?¡± Poseidon glanced at him and said in a deep voice. ¡°Looks like we can only continue fighting!¡± Hades shrugged lazily. ¡°Hmph! So what! Without the Hecatoncheires, I can still defeat Father!¡± Zeus stood up arrogantly, his voice firm. Hera, on the other hand, looked less sure. Something was not right! Logically speaking, the Hecatoncheires would definitely agree for the sake of freedom! Why would he refuse? She racked her brains but still could not figure out that the Hecatoncheires were no longer the same, or not even three. ¡­ On the summit of Mount Othrys. In the Palace of Titan¡¯s Divine Court, the Titans who had received the news were all laughing incessantly. Cronus sat at the head of the table. He thought of his three Hecatoncheires brothers and could not help but shudder. ¡°God-King, why don¡¯t we go and enlist their help to fight against Zeus?¡± One of the Titans suggested. The gods were tempted. After all, Zeus was extremely powerful. They could not defeat Zeus without external aid. Cronus gave it some thought, but he quickly shook his head and refused. ¡°No need! Since Zeus has failed, we won¡¯t be expecting my three brothers on either side of the battle! Besides, even without them, I believe that the final victory will still belong to us!¡± He was afraid that the Hecatoncheires would hold a grudge against him and take the side of Zeus on his own volition. If that happened, he would be in great danger. Hence, the two sides resumed a war that was neither won nor lost. The lives of the people were destroyed. The human world turned into hell. The entire world was shrouded in a divine war. The air was filled with the aura of destruction. Even Gaia, the mother of the Earth, Goddess of Creation, could not help but show up. There was a hint of doubt on her face. According to the trajectory of fate, her three sons, the Hecatoncheires should have shown up to help Zeus overthrow Cronus¡¯ Divine Court and build a new one. Now that the Hecatoncheires had remained out of battle, Zeus would not be able to defeat Cronus. With confusion and doubt, she went straight to core of Tartarus and used her great divine power to search for three days before she found the place where Lorne was imprisoned. She transformed into her human form and arrived outside the Otherworld where Lorne was imprisoned. ¡°My children, are you alright?¡± Gaia was a little excited at that moment. She was filled with guilt towards her three sons. Lorne, who was observing his transformation, felt a tremendous divine power aura from outside the space, which surprised him. He was momentarily stunned when he heard the voice. ¡°Why is she here?¡± He did not have any particular feelings towards Gaia. He was just a little curious. After all, he was very interested in the legendary Mother Earth herself. ¡°You are¡­?¡± ¡°I am your mother, Gaia.¡± Gaia quickly answered. ¡°Mother? Why have you come?¡± Lorne raised his eyebrows. He did not welcome her, but he had no reason to drive her away either. Instead, he asked in puzzlement. ¡°Right now, the outside world is filled with the smell of blood and ash. Countless lives are dying at every moment! I¡¯m here to ask you to go out and save the world, overthrow Cronus¡¯ rule, and build a new Divine Court!¡± Gaia had come here in secret, so she was forced to be brief and concise. From her point of view, the other party would definitely agree to her request. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! There are countless gods in the world, and they are more suitable for saving the world than me!¡± Lorne directly turned her down. What kind of joke was this? There were many gods in this world, so why did he have to do it? In his previous life, he had been lost, roaming about, wondering who he was and what was his purpose in life, but in this form, it was pretty clear what he should do. The world was in chaos, the main actors on the stage being Cronus and Zeus. Both sides were still torn up in an endless war, resulting in endless sins being committed. Many parties had remained out of the fight, unwilling to be tainted with all the destruction. Therefore, the Hecatoncheires rose up from the calamity and helped Zeus establish a new Divine Court. As a result, he bore endless sins, his divinity was polluted, and his divine standing fell. ¡°Why? This is your chance! A chance to escape from hell!¡± Gaia was very puzzled. Lorne sneered. ¡°Hmph! This was is now a calamity of the universe. Why should I interfere? Do I look that foolish to you?¡± He refused without even thinking, not to mention that he was now at the crucial stage of transformation. After several years of completing his transformation, he was very excited and looked forward to it. He had no interest in the fight between the two sides. ¡°This¡­¡± Gaia was at a loss when she heard that. ¡°Calamity?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! People¡¯s lives have been plunged into misery. Endless massacres will be committed. Anyone who falls into it will be tainted by Karma. When that happens, it would get extremely troublesome.¡± Lorne retorted without holding back. ¡°Karma?¡± Gaia was a little puzzled when she heard this word. ¡°That¡¯s right! Everything in the world is driven by causality. Once it is tainted by cause and effect, it will lead to endless trouble. For example, I help Zeus defeat Cronus. Cronus would return for revenge in the future, or the gods related to Cronus will seek revenge on me. Trouble and more trouble!¡± Gaia was rendered speechless. In the end, she could only leave hell helplessly. In the end, Lorne focused his consciousness back to the giant egg. After nearly ten years of incubation, the devouring and fusion was finally complete. A body of energy that was filled with encircling halos had already formed within the giant egg. The Hecatoncheires had long vanished. Lorn felt as if his entire body had been transformed by this energy¡­ He sank into endless darkness. His entire soul and the body of energy began to fuse. Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the shell of the giant egg gradually disappeared, and a man in human form slowly stepped out. This man was ten thousand feet tall, like a human magnified thousands of times. His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was like a gift from the creator. His facial features were perfect, and his long golden hair fell on his shoulders, as if he was a god made into reality. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his entire world was filled with color.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation His eyes were bluish-purple in color, clear and pure. At a glance, it was as if one had traveled to a sea of stars. It was deep and charming, and one could get intoxicated with the sight. Lorne felt the terrifying power contained in his body at the moment. He felt that he could destroy this world with one punch. Although he did not know what he looked like, it could not be as bad as the Hecatoncheires. He did not expect to take human form again, which was a perk to him. At the same time, he inspected his body and detected a divine spark in his mind. It was like a three-dimensional diamond, shining with light. He sensed that this was the key to the power of all gods, and it contained powerful energy. After a round of inspection, he felt a little troubled. His body was too tall, it took up too much space. Therefore, with a thought, his body instantly shrank. Not long after, he shrank to the size of an ordinary human. He jumped and tested his new body. There was no difference from the giant mode, except that he possessed far less physical strength, albeit at a level that was still capable of tearing through mountains, and he had grown abnormally agile and extremely fast. Only then did he have time to check his surroundings. He found that he was still inside the giant egg, its shell taking the form of raw energy, which was being absorbed by the divinity in his mind. Therefore, when he exerted force, the speed of the absorption of the divinity increased, and his strength and speed continued to increase. Moreover, his divine energy seemed to have gained bearings of itself, sharpening his consciousness. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. The eggshell had almost vanished, while Lorne¡¯s spirit roared with light, even stronger than before. By his estimation, he would finish absorbing the divine spark in less than a day before breaking out of the eggshell. Suddenly, the sealed space rippled, and not long after, a black hole that was thousands of meters wide appeared, immediately attracting Lorne¡¯s attention and vigilance. An old-looking god appeared through the black hole and stopped in the air. He saw the giant egg standing in the middle with a surprised look. His eyes flickered with divine light, as if he wanted to see through the eggshell and glimpse what was inside. Humph! A cold snort came from inside and instantly blocked his gaze. ¡°Hecatoncheires?¡± The old man looked surprised. He had just felt a powerful divine force blocking his inspection. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lorne felt a powerful divine sense sweeping over and instantly intercepted it. Then, he sensed it and saw that the person had immediately recognized him. With one look, it was obvious that Uranus had come to act as a lobbyist. ¡°I am the first God-King Uranus! Do you not recognize me?¡± The old man was Uranus. He sounded somewhat displeased. He did not expect to be forgotten so quickly. Lorne smiled knowingly. As someone who was familiar with the plot, everything was under control. ¡°Oh? What are you doing here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to rescue you!¡± Uranus spoke arrogantly. ¡°Rescue me?¡± Lorne burst into laughter. ¡°What a joke! You¡¯d better escape from the Endless Abyss first!¡± He could tell at a glance that this Uranus was only a clone and not his original body. His original body was probably still wandering in endless space! ¡°You!¡± Uranus was furious and exasperated. But just as Uranus grew completely enraged, Lorne took the initiative to speak and drawled, ¡°Tell me, what do you want from me?¡± Hearing this, Uranus took a deep breath and returned to his original calm. This was a critical moment in the war. Recruiting Hecatoncheires was imperative. He could not get into a verbal argument at this moment. He had to endure! That¡¯s right! Endure it! ¡°I want you to go out and help Zeus and defeat Cronus!¡± Uranus said in a deep voice. ¡°Is he not your son?¡± Lorne sneered and asked the other party with a hint of ridicule. Uranus grew furious. Previously, Zeus¡¯ men had come. This fellow definitely knew the ins and outs of everything, but now he was asking despite knowing the ins and outs of it! If it wasn¡¯t for the importance of the Hecatoncheires¡¯ power, I would definitely make these ugly things pay today! ¡°Hmph! That damned bastard! He actually dared to overthrow my rule and even banish me! I also want him to taste the taste of being banished by his son!¡± Uranus said in a deep voice. ¡°Sorry! I refuse!¡± Uranus was stunned. To be honest, he had not expected Lorne to refuse him so blatantly, which made him very angry. ¡°You dare to refuse my order?¡± Uranus said with a gloomy face. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Lorne raised his eyebrows and looked at Uranus as if he was looking at a fool. Uranus was furious when he heard that, but Lorne was immensely powerful last he remembered. He was not sure of victory should they fight. Moreover, he was the one coming to Lorne, so he suppressed his anger again and revealed a kind smile. ¡°As long as you help Zeus defeat Cronus, my child, I will give you whatever you want, how about it?¡± Lorne was furious when he heard this and said bluntly, ¡°Scram! ¡°An exiled, castrated fool like you wishes to order me around? If you hadn¡¯t been banished to the endless deep space, I would have shattered your divine spark on the spot! Now you have shown up here trying to act like your old majestic self? Eat shit!¡± Lorne cursed without holding back. Uranus was completely dumbfounded. When he regained his senses, he pointed at Lorne in disbelief. ¡°You¡­ you¡­ you¡­¡± ¡°You what?! Get lost!¡± Lorne directly broke out of his shell, and his body instantly transformed into a thousand feet tall giant. He looked at Uranus with endless divine power. ¡°This is¡­ Hecatoncheires?¡± Uranus¡¯s eyes almost popped out when he saw Lorn. His face was filled with disbelief. Are these my monster-like sons? Why is this one so handsome now? When was his divine power this dense? ¡°Ha! It¡¯s all thanks to you! I¡¯ve been in Tartarus for countless years, who knew that I could evolve in such isolation. We three have become one! Haha! You didn¡¯t expect that, did you?¡± Lorne knew that questions would be asked, so he had made up a story beforehand. Regardless, this was a world full of myths. Any backstory, however outlandish, would never seem out of place. There were many more bizarre things than this. ¡°What?!!¡± Uranus was stunned. He was hit hard by this news. ¡°What do you mean, what? Try what the f*ck! Go back to your Abyss!¡± Lorne could not be bothered to say anything more to the other party. He flung his fist out. In an instant, this enormous fist that was filled with incomparable strength and boundless power crashed into Uranus¡¯ body like a mountain. His clone shattered immediately, and the resulting shockwaves destroyed the black hole that he had created. Everything returned to normal. Meanwhile, on a continent far away in the endless space-time, an old god whose body was filled with rot and decay lay in stunned silence for a long time. He had never imagined that this would be the result.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Because of Lorne¡¯s appearance, the Titan War had undergone tremendous changes, causing the original rhythm of Greek mythology to be completely distorted. Zeus and the other Olympians could not defeat Cronus and the other Titans, this caused the world war to continue to erupt. This caused the world¡¯s origin to be in turmoil. Various natural disasters kept occurring, causing the entire world to fall into a precarious state. Helplessly, a powerful Primordial used his supreme divine power to stop the prolonged battle between the two sides. He also expressed the demands of the other gods. The war between the gods was immediately stopped, and they were not allowed to fight on land. Otherwise, all the gods who had not participated in the war would help the other side. Thus, the Cronus and Zeus factions finally ceased fire. The war was put on hold, and they decided to hold a three-way meeting in Kolonaki to resolve the unfinished business of the war. As soon as this decision was made, the world instantly cheered, and countless gods heaved a sigh of relief. ¡­ Lorne, who was in Tartarus, had finally finished absorbing the energy of the eggshell. The eggshell turned into countless grains of sand and dissipated in the air. Sensing that his strength had more than doubled, Lorne planned to leave this damned place immediately. Tartarus was not called Hell only because it was very treacherous, and countless monsters and behemoths were born here. It was also because the environment here was very harsh, and it was filled with an ominous aura that could pollute divinity, therefore, many gods were filled with fear and dislike for this place. Lorne had stayed here for countless years, and he was already used to it. As a result, he was like a fish in water here, and his divinity remained untouched and pure. If he wanted to escape from here, he had to first get rid of the giant dragon Campe. With his power, it should not be a problem. Lorne took one last look at this world and then soared into the sky. With a punch, he shattered the world barrier and came to the boundless hell. Before his eyes adjusted, an incomparably huge dragon descended from the sky. She looked at Lorne with suspicion and fear. ¡°Who? How dare you trespass here?¡± Campe spoke in human language. She looked at Lorne¡¯s immense divine power and was very vigilant. ¡°I am Lorne!¡± Lorne glanced at her and was surprised. So this was what a dragon looked like. Then, he turned to leave. Campe naturally did not dare to stop him, as long as it was not the Hecatoncheires escaping. Lorne and the Hecatoncheires bore no similarities. Campe naturally could not recognize them apart from their immense strength. Lorne tore through space and followed the route in his memory, killing countless monsters along the way. Finally, he left the borders of Tartarus and entered the underground world. Although the underground world was also dark, it had more vitality than Tartarus. Not long after, he passed through the underground world and arrived at the surface. Lorne felt the fragrance of the Earth and could not help but feel excited. He looked at the huge mountains that pierced through the clouds in the distance, the tall trees around him, and the sounds of animals clashing in the distance. Before he could react, a god flew over from the sky. He was shocked when he saw Lorne, who was emitting powerful divine energy, and quickly came down to salute him. ¡°Greetings, great one!¡± Lorne returned the salute nervously. He had not expected to meet a god here. ¡°Yes, my name is Lorne!¡± Lorne looked at the little god and smiled. This god seemed particularly weak compared to others. Lorne racked his memories, but even after thinking for a long time, he still did not recognize this god. Could he be one of the Primordials? Was he a newborn? He grew a little excited. ¡°Right, what is the result of the war now?¡± Lorne thought of something and immediately asked. Orca¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. He became more and more certain of his guess and did not dare to hide the truth. He immediately brought Lorne up to speed. ¡°Because of the great destruction of this divine war, many Primordials were dissatisfied, so a tripartite meeting was held. It seems to be held today, right in Kolonaki. Many gods are attending it!¡± Orca carefully explained it. ¡°Oh? A three-way meeting?¡± Lorne touched his chin and quickly thought that he should be the one to change the situation. Orca saw Lorne fall into deep thought. Was this being unfamiliar with the world? Thus, he passed the world map to Lorne through spiritual power. Lorne instantly understood his position, then thanked him and instantly disappeared. Orca grew extremely envious. Teleporting could only be done by immensely powerful beings. Lorne was naturally very interested in the meeting. How could he miss such a grand occasion? ¡­ At that moment, countless gods rushed over from all directions toward Kolonaki. The most central area had been divided into three parts. On one side was the neutral faction represented by the Primordials. On the other two sides were the Titans and Olympians. Cronus and Zeus stood on opposite ends. Hostility was rife in the air. As time passed, the gods from both sides gradually arrived. The Primordials were headed by Ourea, the first of the Mountain Gods. His identity, status, and power were all highly influential. It was enough to see how much the Primordials valued this meeting. He looked around and then nodded. He took a step forward and said, ¡°Good! Since all the gods are here, the meeting will begin now!¡± ¡­ At that moment, Lorne saw countless gods in the distance and knew that he had arrived at Kolonaki. He slowly let out a sigh of relief. He had crossed tens of thousands of kilometers and finally arrived. He passed through the outer city area and slowly came to the central area. He knew that the three-party meeting was held inside. Thus, when he intended to directly walk in, he was stopped by several armored guards. ¡°Stop! The gods have given orders! Outsiders are not allowed to enter!¡± One of the leading guards looked at Lorne. When he saw that Lorne was wearing ragged clothes, he immediately stopped him. Lorne finally understood why there were countless gods around him standing outside. It turned out that they were not allowed to enter! This made him frown. ¡°Kid, this is not a place where you can behave atrociously. Go back to where you came from!¡± The leader of the guards looked at Lorne¡¯s handsome face and felt a little jealous. He could not help but mock him. ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Lorne was not happy. He did not expect a small guard to be so arrogant. Suddenly, the aura on his body was released. The guards on the opposite side were sent flying and smashed into the wall. They vomited blood continuously. It caused a huge commotion. The probing power of many gods quickly came from afar. Lorne did not want to cause any more trouble and charged in. Because Lorne was extremely fast, some of the gods inside were not prepared and were shocked. This caused a lot of trouble. It immediately interrupted the gods¡¯ discussion. ¡°Sorry, sorry!¡± Lorne steadied himself and saw that the gods were all staring at him, so he was a little embarrassed. ¡°How dare you! How dare you recklessly charge into such an important place! Who let you in?¡± The frightened gods did not want trouble with him, but a god to his right suddenly rebuked him.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne was stunned. He could not help but look up. The god on the right appeared to be middle-aged and was staring at him with a displeased expression. He was the one who had scolded him just now. This was¡­ Cronus? The young man on the left was Zeus, and the faction on the right was Cronus. But he did not seem to have any bad blood with this guy, right? Why was he being called out like this? This fellow was really narrow-minded, or rather, arrogant. After all, as the current God-King, his might was insurmountable. When other gods saw him, they were all submissive and very polite. But what did this have to do with him? ¡°None of your business!¡± God-King, my ass! You¡¯re not almighty. Besides, if I had interfered in the war, I would have already toppled your throne! Why are you still putting up an act in front of me? ¡°¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Cronus had not expected this young god to be so defiant. Cronus was stunned at first, but his face immediately darkened. I, the mighty God-King, am being insulted in public? My dignity has fallen in their sights! I¡¯m so angry! Cronus¡¯ eyes seemed to spew fire as he stared intently at Lorne. Lorne did not back down. He even raised his eyebrows as if to say, ¡°Come and hit me if you have the ability!¡± The Primordials, Ourea, Zeus, and the others stood watching the show, looking mildly entertained. Lorne grew even more confident when he saw none of them taking action. Apart from Ourea, the others were no threats to him. Ourea quietly used his immense divine power to observe Lorne¡¯s being but was unable to read anything. Surprise briefly flickered past his features. Lorne remained completely unaware of the attempted probe. At that moment, he was still not done being crossed with that withering old thing, Cronus. If he truly wanted to pick a fight with him, he would directly jump to Zeus¡¯ camp. By then, he would see if the old man¡¯s tear ducts still functioned. Therefore, he was not afraid of Cronus. At most, he could always jump to another Divine Court. From the very beginning, he was already in an invincible position. If Cronus knew what he was thinking, he would definitely not offend him. Unfortunately, he was incapable of reading minds. Cronus¡¯ face was livid, and the Titans behind him looked equally gloomy. Now that all the gods were watching, they had to demonstrate a show of strength, or they would have nowhere to show their faces in the future. ¡°How dare you! How dare you disrespect the God-King!¡± One of the older Titans could not help but berate him. ¡°Oh? You call that being disrespectful?¡± Lorne glanced at him and drawled. Such a tone angered the Titan to the point where his aura sent ripples through the air. When could not take it any longer and rose up, Cronus stopped him. ¡°Who are you? How dare you disrupt the meeting? What are your intentions?¡± Cronus did not start moving just yet. He merely questioned. Having been a God-King for eons, he had developed more than one method of dealing with his adversaries. This time, they were present in a formal meeting of gods. He would use the law and ruling of the place to suppress Lorne. When Lorne admitted that he had indeed intruded on the place, the Primordials would take action to drive him out and ensure that the meeting went on as usual. Lorne gave Cronus a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of the God-King who had ruled over the Divine Court for countless years. His every move was calculated and planned. ¡°Haha! What a joke! Who is the one who is disrupting the meeting? I was only late for a moment, yet you could not wait to jump out and call me out, God-King? I don¡¯t remember having any bad blood with you!¡± Lorne pointed at Cronus and could not help but laugh out loud before mocking him. Cronus¡¯ expression changed drastically. Not only him, Ourea and the other neutral gods spun around to stare at him, as if they were trying to discern if this was true or false. Zeus and the Olympian gods also praised Lorne for his words in their hearts. ¡°Hmph! What a glib tongue! Your name does not seem to be included in this meeting, right?¡± Cronus had not expected his words to be used against himself. He quickly retorted as not to lose more dignity before the crowd. ¡°Why not? Aren¡¯t all ancient gods allowed to participate? I think I qualify too, right? Lorne shook his head. ¡°My name is Lorne! I¡¯m from the second generation of gods!¡± Upon hearing Lorne¡¯s name, the gods were stunned. They had never heard of this name, and Cronus could not help but sneer. ¡°How dare you quibble! The First may have been exiled, but I have never heard any of the second-generation gods ever reciting your name! Tell me the truth! Who are you exactly?¡± Cronus pointed at Lorne and said coldly. Ourea narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere instantly froze, and the gods present looked at Lorne with suspicion. Surprisingly, Lorne did not look the least bit flustered. He even snapped back, ¡°Who says so? Others can forget, but you, Cronus, can¡¯t forget! Could it be that you¡¯ve forgotten your three older brothers?¡± Lorne¡¯s words were mysterious, puzzling the other gods. Cronus was also stunned. He frowned deeply, not understanding Lorne¡¯s words, but suddenly, his expression changed. With shock and confusion, he pointed at Lorne and said, ¡°You¡­ you¡­ You are¡­ the Hecatoncheires?¡± As soon as he said that, the gods were stunned and looked at Cronus in disbelief. The first word in their minds was ¡®impossible¡¯! The Hecatoncheires were grotesque and were now locked in Tartarus. Lorne was so young and handsome. They bore absolutely no similarities. How could he be the Hecatoncheires? ¡°That¡¯s right! I was once three, and we three were the Hecatoncheires!¡± Lorne shocked Cronus with his next words. Ourea could no longer hide his shock. He racked his brains for a long time but still could not make sense of this statement. Cronus was flabbergasted. He could not help but take a step back, his face filled with disbelief. ¡°Impossible! You are definitely not the Hecatoncheires! You still dare to quibble at this point?!¡± Cronus glared at Lorne furiously. ¡°Old coot, I was kind enough to identify myself! You had no business even asking my name!¡± Lorne¡¯s face instantly turned cold. His divine aura leaked into the surroundings as he prepared to attack. ¡°Stop!¡± Ourea had remained where he was, lost in confusion, but when he sensed the familiar divine aura, he quickly stopped the two of them from fighting. ¡°Cronus, he¡¯s right. He¡¯s really the Hecatoncheires. All three of them. Can¡¯t you recognize his aura?¡± Ourea shouted at Cronus. The latter paused in shock before stopping to sense the power. His face blanched. It was really a familiar aura. Such intense, destructive force belonged to no other than the Hecatoncheires. When the gods saw Cronus¡¯ reaction, they immediately understood. Lorne was really the Hecatoncheires. Each of them was filled with disbelief. ¡°Hecatoncheires, how did you become like this?¡± Ourea looked at Lorne and asked curiously. ¡°Call me Lorne from now on!¡± Lorne emphasized his name and did not bother explaining. ¡°Now I have the right to participate in the meeting, right?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ourea¡¯s mouth twitched and he nodded. Cronus¡¯ expression was very ugly when he heard that, but he looked at Lorne fearfully and did not object. Hence, the meeting continued, but the gods would steal glances at Lorne from time to time. Especially Zeus. When he found out that Lorne were the Hecatoncheires that had turned him down, he was also a little gloomy. However, when he thought of Lorne¡¯s terrifying power, he did not do anything.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The meeting went smoothly under Ourea¡¯s oversight. Lorne sat by the side and did not say a word. He watched the whole process while sizing up the various gods. After all, he had not come to the meeting to change anything. Suddenly he sensed someone staring pointedly at him. He looked over and saw that it was a goddess not far behind Zeus. He was awestruck. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. She had a slender figure and fair skin with a faint peachy hue. Her bright and large eyes drew him in almost hypnotically. She wore a silver-white helmet and valiant and glorious exquisite armor. On her shoulder stood a cute and strange bird. Beside her stood a silver-white spear that emitted a cold light. ¡°Which goddess would this be?¡± A few seconds later, he turned away and made some guesses in his heart. According to this outfit, could she be the legendary goddess of wisdom, Athena? When he thought of this, his eyes lit up. This is the goddess that countless people have been praising, and she¡¯s right in front of me now? If not for the bad timing, he might have directly gone over to chat her up. Three days later, the tripartite meeting finally ended. Lorne had learned a lot from it. In short, they were allowed to continue fighting, but not on the planet¡¯s surface. They could fight in the air, in Tartarus, or in space. Lorne was certain that someone would find a loophole somewhere and exploit it, but it was not his concern. As long as he did not participate, it was fine. Thus, the grand meeting came to an end. Lorne stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± Ourea, who was beside him, stopped Lorne. ¡°Lorne, after countless years, you have finally escaped from Tartarus and regained your freedom. Congratulations!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Lorne did not understand what the other party meant, but he still thanked him politely. ¡°What do you think of this divine war?¡± Ourea asked Lorne out of curiosity after exchanging a few words with him. He knew that Lorne was not as simple-minded as the Hecatoncheires from before. At that moment, Lorne smiled and said, ¡°This divine war may bring destruction, or it may bring new life. But this is a war between Cronus and Zeus. We don¡¯t have to get involved in it! I think that the trajectory of fate will revolve naturally!¡± Ourea was deep in thought. He nodded at Lorne and left. Lorne shook his head. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by a group of gods. The leader was Zeus. He approached Lorne hesitantly. ¡°Greetings, Uncle!¡± Lorne looked at him for a long time. Before Zeus could speak, a beautiful woman beside him spoke up. ¡°You are¡­ Hera?¡± ¡°Yes! I am Hera!¡± Hera hurriedly said with a smile. Since Zeus did not want to look like he had come begging, she would have to spare him the shame. She spoke on his behalf. ¡°Where would you be headed for now, uncle?¡± Lorne thought for a moment and shook his head. Hera was delighted and immediately invited him, ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you come to Mount Olympus as a guest and let us entertain you properly? How about it?¡± After saying that, she looked at Lorne with great anticipation. Even the originally arrogant Zeus and the others also looked at him. Lorne originally wanted to turn them down, but his gaze swept past the goddess of wisdom. She was staring at him with great anticipation as well. Lorne¡¯s heart was moved, and he said, ¡°Hmm¡­ if that¡¯s the case, then allow me!¡± Hera was pleasantly surprised when she heard that. ¡°It is no trouble, it is no trouble!¡± Even Zeus¡¯ heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, the Olympians were somewhat excited. As both parties were conversing, Cronus, who was far away, saw this scene. Not only was his heart clouded over, but he glared at Lorne with eyes filled with hatred and wariness. When he watched that small group conversing happily, he could not help but let out a cold snort. ¡°Hmph!¡± The Titans at the side saw the same thing and frowned. Why were they standing together? Was Lorne preparing to join Olympus? Their hearts could not help but feel heavy with that thought. Many neutral gods who had not yet left stopped in their tracks when they saw this. Watching sideshows was a common hobby of all living beings, and even gods were no exception to that. Although the Hecatoncheires had immense strength, they did not believe that Lorne would produce the same amount of power, and even Cronus thought the same. Therefore, he was not very afraid of Lorne, especially since he had the Titans behind his back. ¡°What are you grunting for? Don¡¯t you know that eavesdropping on others is very impolite?¡± Lorne did not even bother being polite. He was very unhappy with Cronus. This guy just would not leave me alone, right? Thus, he unceremoniously released his divine power, raining it down upon Cronus like the sky. No one expected Lorne to immediately lash out. How careless could he be? How ruthless could he be? Making a move at the slightest bit of stink-eye! This was simply madness. Cronus had not expected to be attacked in the open air. Almost immediately, he sensed the attack. His expression darkened. Cronus was a master of space and time. His first instinct was to teleport out of the place, but when he thought of the Titans behind him, he decided to bend space to seal Lorne¡¯s movements. Thus, he used his scepter to draw a circle in the space in front of him. In an instant, the space seemed to have been cut out. The void swallowed Lorne¡¯s attack up without leaving a trace. It made him breathe a sigh of relief. He barely had time to blink when he heard the Titans behind him warned him. ¡°Be careful, God-King!¡± The surrounding Titans sensed the power surging out of Cronus¡¯ pocket dimension. They all cried out in alarm. Cronus hurriedly raised his scepter to attempt to resist the force. Boom! The scepter, which represented the power of the second Divine Court, emitted a divine light, desperately trying to resist Lorne¡¯s invasion. The surroundings were instantly affected by the shockwaves, which destroyed many buildings. Some of the weaker gods spat out blood and fled the area. Cronus grunted. His face turned pale, and he staggered a few steps back. It was obvious that he had been hurt. He raised his head up and looked at Lorne fearfully. In just a single clash, he had taken damage. It was enough to show how powerful Lorne was. ¡°Cronus, gifted with the power of space itself. That¡¯s like throwing dust on a precious treasure!¡± Lorne opened his mouth, and his power was fully exerted. Cronus¡¯ defenses were completely shattered and something inside him quaked. ¡°Cough cough! It was the attack of a coward, taking others by surprise!¡± Cronus could not help but cough twice. His gaze was so cold that it made people tremble. Lorne shook his head and did not bother defending himself. ¡°Remember, I hate it when others look at me wrongly! Don¡¯t call me impolite! God-King, so what! I¡¯ll still beat you up even if you¡¯re the God of gods!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Upon hearing Lorne¡¯s words, Cronus¡¯ face alternated between green and red. He was almost enraged to continue fighting, but he was afraid of Lorne¡¯s strength. Unfortunately, he was still recovering from the battle with the Olympians. He was nowhere near his peak.. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of Lorne? Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Having no answer to Lorne¡¯s threat, Cronus lost even more dignity. He cast a scathing glare at Lorne before leading the Titans out of the place. If they did not leave now, if they really started fighting, that bastard Zeus would also intervene. It would be another large-scale divine war, and it would probably provoke the neutral faction into action. The Olympians watched him leave and laughed out loud in delight. After all, over the past ten years, they had lost more than they won. It was a great joy seeing their powerful foe humiliated. Hera, in particular, was even more determined to win over Lorne. Zeus was also happy, but unfortunately, he was not Cronus¡¯ opponent. Every time, it took him and his two brothers to put up an equal fight against Cronus. ¡°Lorne, you say. He is a lot more powerful than I could have imagined. If he helps us overthrow Cronus, victory would be in sight!¡± Beside Zeus, Poseidon spoke softly. His eyes were filled with admiration and the yearning for power. ¡°That¡¯s right! This is a good opportunity. We must drag him into our Olympus Camp!¡± Hades also echoed. ¡°But to think that the Hecatoncheires would look this good!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Now that the tripartite meeting has concluded, it is only a matter of time before the ceasefire ends. Cronus is too powerful. If this continues, it will slowly end in our defeat! Lorne is the key!¡± The Olympians discussed animatedly. Only Zeus remained silent, deep in thought. Things were not going well for them. Other than Lorne¡¯s appearance, nothing had changed. If Lorne did not join Olympus, their best stood no chance against even the wounded Titans. If this went on, a fully-recovered Cronus would eventually send them to banishment again! That was why the Olympians were so warm to Lorne. At that moment, Lorne walked over. ¡°Sorry for the wait! Cronus has been a God-King for too long, he has forgotten the feeling of being beaten up! A reminder would suffice!¡± Lorne smiled as he greeted everyone. What he said almost caused the Olympian gods to trip over. That was a God-King! No one else lorded over him. You call that a reminder? After today, Cronus would definitely be even more fearful of Lorne. Hera laughed dryly and suppressed the surprise in her heart. She said enthusiastically, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine! Then, let¡¯s go?¡± Lorne nodded, and the group instantly left Kolonaki and flew towards Mount Olympus. This world was many times larger than Earth, gods flew at speeds that left fighter jets in the dust. Even so, their flight took nearly five hours. The mountain pierced through the clouds, most of its body shrouded. At a glance, it was mysterious and enticing. Lorne was actually very interested. The third Divine Court was where most of Greek mythology took place. ¡°Lorne, this is our land! The mortals experience their afterlife here, and all beings live together here in peace.¡± Hera introduced the place to Lorne. Looking at the peaceful atmosphere below, she sighed with emotion. ¡°Yes! War brings not only bloodshed, but also the destruction of many races.¡± Lorne felt the same way. ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s a pity that Cronus is eccentric, headstrong, and increasingly demanding of living beings, making the world miserable! His existence will only lead to the destruction of the world.¡± Hera sighed while testing Lorne¡¯s reaction. After all, if Lorne resonated with them and joined them in overthrowing Cronus, they would at the very least stand half a chance at victory! However, she was disappointed by Lorne¡¯s casual nod. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! The world will not be destroyed, it will still prosper! The fifth God of Creation still watches us! Even the Primordials would definitely not stand for such destruction! Just don¡¯t blow up mortal cities in your fight!¡± The other Olympians were disappointed when they heard this. They could see that Lorne was not interested. Lorne naturally caught on to Hera¡¯s words, but he was not moved. When they arrived at the palace, everyone held a grand reception. All kinds of top-notch ingredients were delivered without any cost, which greatly pleased Lorne. During this period, Hera and the other gods toasted him repeatedly, trying to get Lorne¡¯s help. However, Lorne feigned ignorance, which left the gods very helpless. The next day, many gods left one after another and returned to their own territories. It was time to get back to work. In the end, only Zeus, Hera, and a few others remained. They understood that they could not win Lorne over, so they gave up. However, it was not as if they had not gained anything. At the very least, they managed to get on Lorne¡¯s good side, so he would not join the Titans. Lorne did not stay for long. He wanted to travel around the continent and see if he could obtain some divine artifacts and treasures! Hera was left with a helpless expression. ¡­ After leaving Mount Olympus, Lorne began his own treasure hunt. However, the gods had already searched the areas nearby. Even if there were treasures, they would have been found long ago. Therefore, he decided to look for them on the sea. The world was vast, and he only saw the sea after flying for nearly half a month. The sound of waves coming from the distance rose and fell, one after another, hitting the shore. He flew along the coastline for nearly ten days, and not only did he see humans who got up early to fish, but he also saw women waiting for their husbands and sons to return in the evening. He also saw many strange creatures, and it was too much for him to take in. One afternoon, while he was resting on a desolate island, there was a flash of golden light in the distance. All kinds of tsunamis and storms were erupting, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky. It was obvious that a treasure had appeared. Lorne could not wait to fly over. For humans, family-ending disasters were like a drizzle in front of the gods. He flew through the tsunamis and storms, and it did not take long for him to find the location of the treasure. The earth shook in the depths of the sea. A golden light shot into the sky and illuminated the surroundings. It looked like a sword. The seawater rotated in a counterclockwise whirlpool and flew into the air, surrounding the sword. Lightning struck the sword again and again. It rang with power. Lorne knew that he was fortunate to be able to encounter a divine weapon here. Thus, he waited by the side. The day the lightning stopped would be the day he obtains the treasure. Gods had all the time in the world. Several years passed, and the lightning still did not disperse. But strangely, night did not fall upon the area even once. Another month later, the lightning in the sky slowly dissipated, and the golden light on the sword also disappeared. Lorne was unhappy.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?!¡± Lorne waved his hand and grabbed at the divine sword. Clang! The divine sword produced a loud clang and attempted to resist, but Lorne was too powerful. With the divine sword in hand, Lorne instantly felt a powerful aura coming from the sword. He was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Good sword!¡± Holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Lorne gently waved it at the endless sea in front of him. Bang!!! An arc of light traveled from the sword, and the entire sea began to boil. A deep crack appeared in the ground, and even the seawater was forced to the sides by the forceful opening of a void in space. Hiss! So powerful! As he took in this scene, Lorne sucked in a breath of cold air. Although one-third of the divine power in his body had disappeared, it was a price well-paid. The divine sword had a spirit, and it knew that it would not be able to escape, so it could only accept its fate. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! In my hands, you won¡¯t ever be mistreated!¡± Lorne sized up the sword in front of him and spoke confidently. Wuuuu!! As if in response, the divine sword trembled slightly with a hum. At that moment, three spots of light quickly rushed over from the distance, and a moment later, they landed beside Lorne. They were three middle-aged gods, but they reeked of some infernal divinity. They looked at the divine sword in Lorne¡¯s hand and revealed greedy gazes. Lorne furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to stir up trouble, so he planned to leave this place. However, the three gods spoke first. ¡°Wait! Who are you? Hand over that divine sword!¡± The leader was a middle-aged man who blocked Lorne¡¯s path. The three of them surrounded him and started threatening him. ¡°What a joke! Why would I give it to you if I got it first!¡± Lorne frowned and was very displeased. ¡°Damn it! This is obviously a divine artifact of our clan, and you have clearly stolen it! If that¡¯s the case, then blame us for being impolite!¡± The leader of the middle-aged men glanced at the divine sword and said in a low voice. It was obvious that he was lying through his teeth. Lorne could not help but laugh in anger. When did gods become so despicable and shameless? ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Lorne did not intend to argue with them and spoke directly. ¡°Kid, looks like you¡¯re not going to give it to me?¡± ¡°If you want to die, I¡¯ll grant you your wish!¡± Lorn could not be bothered to talk nonsense with them at this moment. He had given them fair warning. Since they were courting death, he could not be blamed. After saying that, he raised the divine sword in his hand and covered the sword with his power. The divine spark in his mind began to erupt with divine power. Immediately, the divine sword¡¯s aura soared. The sharpness of the blade was so sharp that even space could not withstand it. The very space around the three gods split apart. The expressions of those three changed drastically. They had not expected such a young god to be so powerful. On top of that, he had been amplified by the power of the divine sword. They were starting to regret this. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Three sword lights flashed. Lorn put away the divine sword and saw that the three gods had been unmade. ¡°You couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow! How dare you try to rob me? Who gave you the courage?¡± Lorne spat on their corpses. He did not have much emotion about killing a god for the first time. He felt that a god was actually similar to a human, except that they had boundless life and powerful energy. But what surprised him was that he instantly felt three more strands of energy in the divine spark of his mind, which made his divine spark crystal grow a little bigger and his strength increased a little. ¡°Could it be the energy from the three divine sparks that I just killed?¡± Lorne guessed secretly. A God¡¯s divine spark was basically their soul, free from a physical vessel. If the divine spark was broken, there was a chance of them dying. His eyes lit up at the thought of it. He felt that he had just learned a way to improve his divine spark. As long as he killed a god, he could obtain the energy from the other god¡¯s divine spark and improve himself. However, this would turn him into a killing machine, so he still suppressed the thought of indiscriminately slaughtering gods. After all, his current strength had already surpassed many gods. It was enough for him to protect himself. Thus, Lorne set a rule for himself. Unless it was an enemy, he would not casually slaughter gods. That would only make him a slave to his own power. It was very normal for gods in this world to die, not to mention during a divine war. Every day, countless gods would die, and countless gods would be born. Therefore, he returned to the deserted island to recover his divine power. After all, although the divine sword was powerful, the divine power it consumed was even more terrifying. ¡­ In a palace far away, magnificence and divinity flowed through its halls. A powerful god, who was in the process of improving his strength, suddenly opened his eyes. Vaguely, he sensed a powerful divine artifact appearing in the west ocean. ¡°Could it be an opportunity for me?¡± The middle-aged god murmured. Then, he disappeared instantly, leaving only a wave of fluctuation in the space. This person was none other than God-King Cronus. He was in charge of the power of space and time and could tear through space itself, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. He entered the sub-dimensional space and traveled much faster than he would have the real world. It did not take long for him to arrive at the west sea. Following the senses in his mind, he soon arrived at the place where the divine artifact had been born. After searching, he determined that the divine artifact had long disappeared. ¡°Could it be that the divine artifact has left?¡± Cronus found it a little regretful. Suddenly, he found three corpses at the bottom of the sea, and his expression changed. ¡°There was a fight, and someone took it!¡± Cronus was a little excited. If the artifact had been sentient and mobile, it could have left by itself, and things would be troublesome. However, it was snatched away by someone, it would be very easy for him to track. ¡°Hah, this is fated for me! As long as I can get it, even if Lorne helps Zeus, I will be perfectly fine!¡± Thus, he directly used his divine ability to search a large area. It was countless times more powerful than radar and satellites. Soon, he found a trace. ¡°Found you!¡± Cronus rushed over excitedly. On a deserted island far away, Lorne, who was recovering his power, instantly opened his eyes. He frowned and then stood up to look in a direction. A god was rushing over. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± After Cronus recognized the person, his expression changed and he was shocked. ¡°What was I thinking? So it¡¯s you! It seems that you haven¡¯t remembered the lesson from before? I once said, if you dare to use your perception to spy on me in the future, I¡¯ll beat you up every time I see you!¡± Lorne stared at Cronus with a displeased expression. ¡°You¡­ Lorne, don¡¯t go too far!¡± Hearing that, Cronus¡¯ face turned ashen, but he was extremely fearful in his heart. ¡°Hmph! What of it?¡± After saying that, Lorne directly raised the divine sword and soared into the sky, bringing with it endless power. Cronus felt the sharpness and intensity of the weapon in Lorne¡¯s hand and could not help but be stunned.. ¡°You took the artifact?¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The artifact is fated to be with me!¡± Lorne raised his eyebrows, and the divine sword chimed in as well. Cronus was stunned. Why did this sentence sound so familiar? After a while, he remembered that he had said the same sentence not long ago. Immediately, he felt envy and jealousy! He had only been a step behind, and Lorne had taken advantage of his fortune. ¡°Cronus! Come! I¡¯ll let you experience the might of the divine sword!¡± After saying that, Lorne rushed towards Cronus and instantly appeared beside him. The latter sensed the intense power and instantly fled into his subdimension. After that, he appeared in the distance. He was no match to Lorne, but he was very evasive. ¡°What? A dignified God-King actually only knows how to hide but doesn¡¯t dare to attack?¡± Lorne said sarcastically. ¡°Lorne! Don¡¯t be too arrogant! Sooner or later, someone will come for you!¡± After saying that, Cronus left the sea without waiting for Lorne to speak. After all, he could not beat him in a fight, and he could not win with words. He could blurt out some lines concerning comeuppance and flee. Lorne was a little bored, so he put away the divine sword, turned himself into a ball of light, and left the place. ¡­ In the south of the continent, there was an endless primeval forest. There was no sunlight all day long, and it was filled with dark fog and miasma. Very few creatures that entered could escape, and it was called the Lost Forest. There were many spirit fruits growing in it, which could increase the power of the gods. In front of one of the waterfalls, there were five baseball-sized fruits growing on a spirit tree. They emitted a rich fragrance and golden light, making them very tempting. At that moment, there were two opposing camps standing in front of the spirit tree. There was only one person on the left, a goddess. She carried a bow and arrow on her back, and she pointed a sharp spear forward with an extremely angry expression. There were three people standing on the right, two men and a woman. They stared at the spirit fruit in front of them and revealed a greedy expression from time to time. One of them suddenly said, ¡°Athena, the treasure belongs to the capable. There are three of us, and only one of you. Go! We won¡¯t make things difficult for you!¡± ¡°Otto! Don¡¯t go too far! I was the one who found the spirit fruit first, and I killed its guardian too! I can give you three of them!¡± Athena looked at the three of them and was very angry. Unfortunately, she had expended too much of her divine power to kill the beast that protected the tree, so she was unable to take all three of them on now. She had not expected them to be so shameless. ¡°Haha! Athena, you are too naive! If you¡¯re being stubborn, what comes next is on you!¡± Otto shot her a look of disdain, which quickly turned deadly. After saying that, the three of them took out their weapons and aimed at Athena, getting into combat stances. ¡°Bastard!¡± Athena was furious. She had not expected these Titans to be so despicable. However, the current situation told her that if she did not leave now, she might never be able to leave. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and was about to give up when a peal of loud laughter was heard. ¡°Haha! What a coincidence! Good afternoon, everyone!¡± A handsome and extraordinary man descended from the sky and stopped above the waterfall. He smiled and greeted everyone below. The sudden appearance gave Athena and the other three a fright. Then, a hint of surprise flashed in Athena¡¯s eyes. Otto and the other two were a little flustered. ¡°Heca¡­ Lorne? Why are you here?¡± Otto¡¯s eyelids twitched when he saw Lorne. He was very depressed. Why did this being have to show up here? ¡°Why? Is this your home? Am I not allowed to come here?¡± Lorne shot back. Then, he disregarded the three of them and looked at Athena. He had not expected to meet Athena by such a coincidence. What was even more coincidental was that Athena was in danger. Was this not his opportunity to save the damsel in distress? ¡°Why are you here?¡± Every time Lorne saw Athena, he could not help but sigh at how such a beautiful goddess could exist. Athena currently bore the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, full of youth and tenderness. She was like a flower that was about to bloom. Athena saw Lorne staring at her, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. Her little heart started to race. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m here to hunt and guard against fierce beasts. I¡¯m also looking for spirit fruits to increase my strength!¡± Her voice came out very soft, and if Lorne was not a god, he would not have been able to hear her clearly. He smiled. He did not expect Athena to be so shy. ¡°Then it seems that your harvest was not a small one. You were so lucky to encounter five spirit fruits!¡± Athena¡¯s bright eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that. ¡°I¡­ I did not expect it either.¡± The two seemed to be flirting, leaving Otto and the other two feeling very awkward. They could not leave or stay, but they knew that they could not take the spirit fruits this time. Lorne and Athena chatted for a while and were in a very happy mood. When they saw Otto and the other two out of the corner of their eyes, they could not help but ask in a deep voice, ¡°Still not leaving? Do you not want to leave?¡± Upon hearing Lorne¡¯s words, Otto and the other two were shocked. They immediately disappeared on the spot as if they had been released. Athena saw this and heaved a sigh of relief. She even stuck out her tongue, looking exceptionally cute. ¡°Lorne¡­ Lorne, thank you!¡± Then, she looked at Lorne and thanked him very much. Otherwise, all her efforts today would have been in vain. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter!¡± Lorne did not mind it. It had taken no effort from him. He watched Athena pluck the five spiritual fruits and approach him, handing two of the fruits to him. ¡°There¡¯s no need. These fruits won¡¯t raise my strength much. You can use them yourself!¡± Lorne waved his hand, asking her to accept it. The latter hesitated for a moment before keeping it. ¡°Oh right, why did you meet those guys just now?¡± Lorne asked curiously. Athena frowned when she heard that. ¡°Now, the Titans are suppressing us Olympus gods with all their might. They have the advantage in numbers, so we are generally not a match for them. ¡°Although there haven¡¯t been any big clashes, there have been many small skirmishes. In the struggle for resources and territory, we have always been at a disadvantage.¡± Lorne was deep in thought when he heard this. These titans were really overbearing, just like Cronus. ¡°Oh right, why are you here? Hera and the others have been looking for you!¡± Athena then looked at Lorne curiously and asked. She and Zeus were not on good terms. After all, her mother had been swallowed up by Zeus in one bite. If she was not a member of the Olympus gods, she would not have worked with Zeus. ¡°I have been wandering around the continent and traveled to many places. I heard about the legend of the Lost Forest, so I wanted to come and take a look. I just happened to meet you!¡± The two walked side by side, bathing in the sunlight like a celestial couple. Lorne then turned to look at Athena¡¯s side profile. The orange light hit her face, and her fair and flawless face was luminous and divine. Lorne could not help but be stunned. ¡°You¡­ What are you looking at?¡± Athena naturally noticed Lorne¡¯s oddity, and her heart suddenly jumped. She pretended to be calm and asked in a low voice.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Lorne! Are you not going too far?¡± He could not help but retort. After all, he was naturally unwilling to give up such a divine sword. Aphrodite did not speak. Instead, she looked at Lorne curiously. Previously, she had not participated in the tripartite meeting, but she had heard some things about Lorne, so she was naturally very curious. ¡°Get lost!¡± Zeus was shocked, and his face turned gloomy. ¡°The divine sword only belongs to the capable! The incapable should just shut up! If you have the ability, fight me for it! Otherwise, shut up!¡± Lorne was being very domineering at the moment. After all, he had waited for several years and was finally about to succeed, but so many people had come. Of course, he would be furious! ¡°You¡­¡± Zeus was so angry that his face turned red, but he did not dare to make a move on Lorne. In the distance, Aphrodite¡¯s eyes flashed with a strange light. She did not expect Lorne to be more overbearing than she had imagined. He was even filled with a heroic spirit, which piqued her interest. Instead, she looked at Zeus with disdain. There was no comparison to be made, they were of different leagues. He dared not make a move even after being insulted like that. Zeus was filled with anger towards Lorne, but he did not have the strength to make any moves. However, he did not want to give up on the divine sword, so he remained where he was. Lorne saw this and frowned, but did not say anything. Time slowly passed. Suddenly, a strange movement in space broke the strange atmosphere. Zeus was delighted when he saw this. It was clearly Cronus¡¯ energy signature. Perhaps he could join forces with the other party to seize the divine sword and then counterattack! As long as he could defeat Lorne, there was still hope for the divine sword. If he could not win, everyone could only watch from the sidelines. ¡­ Cronus and the other two arrived the latest from the Divine Court. However, this was not because he was the slowest, but because the Divine Court was very far away from the far western sea. On the contrary, he had been the fastest. Cronus was known as the god of space and time because he lorded over such elements himself. He could tear through space and perform interdimensional jumps. He entered the sub-dimensional space and traveled much faster than he did in the real world. However, when the three of them appeared in the main space, they were first stunned when they saw Zeus and Aphrodite. Then, they frowned when they saw a giant that was tens of thousands of feet tall. What was going on? The three of them suddenly had a bad premonition. When they took in his power, the three of them almost blacked out. They felt terrible! How could they run into Lorne everywhere! ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± After taking in the situation, Cronus turned to ask Aphrodite. Upon hearing this, Aphrodite smiled, ¡°Lorne has claimed the sword! He was there first! He wants you to leave quickly!¡± After a brief explanation, she no longer had the intention to fight, so when she spoke, she forfeited by default. ¡°Outrageous! How overbearing!¡± Cronus had yet to speak, but Hyperion, one of the three Titans, could not hold it in any longer. It was very clear how powerful the divine sword was. They could all sense it. If a being like Lorne were to gain hold of it¡­ wouldn¡¯t it be like adding wings to a tiger? He would not stand for it. Cronus and Hyperion both felt that Lorne was crossing the line. ¡°Get lost!!!¡± Cronus was unpleasant to his sight, so Lorne roared at him furiously. ¡°This sword is mine! Everyone, you should leave as soon as possible! Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee your safety!¡± Lorne was now at full power. His oppressive aura spread through the air, causing everyone¡¯s expressions to change. They had not expected Lorne to be this powerful! This aura was far stronger than the aura he emitted before, especially when he was tens of thousands of feet tall. He gave off an oppressive feeling! Aphrodite immediately distanced herself thousands of miles away, indicating that she would not interfere, but she did not leave either. Lorne glanced at her and did not pay any attention to her. After all, he did not want to destroy her mercilessly. Zeus and the others¡¯ expressions changed. They had not expected Aphrodite to comply so easily. Cronus was naturally unwilling as well. He said to Lorne with a dark face, ¡°Lorne, are you really going to go against the Titan Court?¡± ¡°So what if I am? I was the one who discovered this divine sword first! Why? Was this sword yours to claim in the first place?¡± Lorne snapped at him. He smiled coldly. ¡°If you don¡¯t retire now, I will not be polite to you!¡± Lorne felt that the lightning had weakened. He knew that the divine sword was not far away from being born. ¡°Damn it! God-King! We¡¯ll fight it out with him!¡± Hyperion¡¯s old face turned purple with anger, and the divine power on his body faintly exploded. He was stopped by Oceanus. Cronus glanced at him. ¡°Shut up!¡± When he saw his fellow Titan actually preparing to attack, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he could not help but curse. Hyperion was a little stunned, and he looked at Cronus in disbelief. Why would the God-King chastise him? After all, he was doing it for him! All sorts of emotions erupted at once. Anger, anger, confusion, disappointment, and so on. Lorne, who was far away, was stunned when he saw this. He laughed out loud. He had not expected the other party to actually harbor internal conflicts. Cronus did not have the time to pay attention to Hyperion at that moment, instead, he said to Lorne again, ¡°Lorne, if you withdraw from the battle for the divine sword, how about we write off all the grudges between you and the Titans? Also, if you want to join us, you will be granted leadership over an entire faction. How about that?¡± ¡°How about that indeed!¡± Lorne sneered. He had not expected this old man to be this cunning. Not only could he get a divine sword for free, but he could also gain a powerful fighter. There was nothing more beautiful than this in the world. Cronus saw that Lorne was not even pretending to entertain the offer. He was furious beyond measure. He glanced at Hyperion and Oceanus. Both of them nodded silently. Then he looked at Zeus, also exchanging silent nods. He could not help but take a deep breath and prepare to summon his power. Suddenly, something else happened. The dark clouds in the sky that had not dispersed for years disappeared. The divine sword floating in the air also sensed danger and prepared to cut through space and escape immediately. This scene only lasted for a moment. Cronus and Zeus did not react and could only watch the divine sword leave. However, Lorne, who was already prepared, moved beyond the speed of light. His large hand, which was hundreds of meters long, gently reached out and held the sword. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you!¡± Clang! Immediately, the divine sword let out a clanging sound and wanted to resist. However, Lorne was far too powerful. It could not escape. With the divine sword in hand, Lorne instantly felt a powerful aura coming from the sword. He was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Good sword!¡± Holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Lorne gently waved it at the endless sea in front of him. Bang!!! An arc of light traveled from the sword, and the entire sea began to boil. A deep crack appeared in the ground, and even the seawater was forced to the sides by the forceful opening of a void in space. Hiss! So powerful! As he took in this scene, Lorne sucked in a breath of cold air. Although one-third of the divine power in his body had disappeared, it was a price well-paid. The divine sword had a spirit, and it knew that it would not be able to escape, so it could only accept its fate. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! In my hands, you won¡¯t ever be mistreated!¡± Lorne sized up the sword in front of him and spoke confidently. Wuuuu!! As if in response, the divine sword trembled slightly with a hum.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they saw this show of immense power, Cronus and Zeus were stunned. When they saw Lorne subdue the divine sword, their expressions changed drastically. They could not help but swear. They had just only made up their minds to join forces and attack, but the divine sword was already in the hands of its new owner. It was as if the divine sword was toying with them. When they saw Lorne¡¯s gentle wave, the huge destructive force left them feeling rather intimidated. They could not beat Lorne as he was, what could they do when he was wielding a divine sword of this caliber? Could they still fight? Oceanus glanced at Cronus, unsure of himself. Cronus twitched under the passing scrutiny, and his face darkened in silence. If Lorne was without the divine sword, he was still willing to attempt swarming him with numbers. As for now? Forget it! ¡°Hmph! We, the Titans, will remember this!¡± After saying that, he left dejectedly. He was not all foolhardy, and he knew that he did not stand a chance, so there was no need to waste his efforts. Although it was a little embarrassing to leave just like that, it would have been even more embarrassing if they were defeated together. It would be better to retreat unscathed and retain his strength. Seeing that the other party had left, Lorne had already deactivated his giant mode and returned to his human form. He held the divine sword in his right hand and looked at Zeus. ¡°What? They¡¯re already gone, and you¡¯re still not leaving? Are you trying to continue fighting with me for the divine sword?¡± Zeus¡¯ face was filled with doubt. Under Lorne¡¯s malicious gaze, he shuddered and quickly put away his previous pride. ¡°Lorne! Since You¡¯ve obtained the divine sword, I won¡¯t make a move! Congratulations on obtaining the divine sword, you are now more powerful than ever!¡± He squeezed out a smile that was uglier than he would have been if he was crying his eyes out, but his heart was bleeding. Lorne was puzzled. Where did the prideful and domineering Zeus go to? ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Lorne waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. Zeus saw this and wanted to say something, but he immediately shut his mouth and left. Seeing that everyone had left, Lorne revealed a genuine smile. ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll call you the Sword of the Glorious Covenant!¡± Lorne sized up the divine sword. After some thought, he gave the divine sword a name. Upon hearing this, the divine sword hummed softly as if it was very satisfied with this name. Then, he looked at Aphrodite who was in the distance, and left without saying anything. After all, he had stayed here for several years and had long been tired of it. Then, he disappeared instantly, leaving behind the calm sea and the young girl Aphrodite. Her seductive eyes rolled a few times as she looked at Lorne¡¯s retreating back. ¡°What an interesting guy!¡± Now, God-King Cronus and Zeus had a new problem in their hands. Aphrodite smiled and rode the huge waves away from this place. She planned to find her brother, the primordial and ancient sea god, Pontus, and tell him about Lorne. ¡­ Zeus, who had returned empty-handed, was the first to return to his palace on Mount Olympus. ¡°Damn it, damn it!¡± Only then did Zeus let loose. ¡°Damned Lorne! Just you wait! When I become the God-King, I will definitely banish you once again to the depths of Tartarus! You will never be able to leave again!¡± Zeus sat on the chair and slammed the stone table a few times, his face red with fury. After venting his anger, he returned to looking more like himself. After all, he would probably need Lorne¡¯s help in the future. He took all this to note. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Zeus?¡± Not long after, Hera walked in. Although Zeus had calmed down, she still sensed that something was wrong. Zeus thought for a moment and recounted what had happened, not letting slip just how furious he was over it. ¡°Sigh! Lorne has grown even stronger! He has obtained a divine sword for himself!¡± Zeus sounded very disgruntled. It was a divine weapon! Even he only had one, and that was the lightning scepter. It could release lightning, but no one could complain about having too many divine weapons. Hera was delighted at first, but then she frowned. ¡°He¡¯s being a little overbearing!¡± But she quickly understood. After all, he did not even place the Titan God-King in his eyes, let alone Zeus! He had the power to back his impudence. If you had Lorne¡¯s power, who would dare to try putting you in your place? However, when she saw Zeus¡¯ jealous and angry expression, she did not say those words out loud. She only felt that Zeus was getting unhinged and throwing more tantrums, especially after Lorne¡¯s appearance. ¡°Forget it! I¡¯ll go and gain more power! I¡¯ll leave everything to you now!¡± After saying that, Zeus left the palace without waiting for Hera¡¯s reply, leaving Hera alone and deep in thought for a long time. After Cronus and his two Titans returned to the Divine Court, they were also silent. ¡°Everyone should focus on gaining more power! Don¡¯t provoke Lorne for the time being!¡± After saying that, Cronus continued to recover his strength. Oceanus and Hyperion were left. ¡°The God King has changed! He¡¯s afraid of losing his Divine Authority!¡± Hyperion suddenly said. Oceanus¡¯ expression changed. ¡°Be silent! The God-King is not someone for the likes of you or me to scrutinize!¡± He scolded him directly, then, he shook his head. ¡°You have to understand his position. Lorne is extremely powerful. Him being involved in any way would topple the balance. We cannot fight him, we cannot provoke him. Otherwise, after Lorne joins the Olympians, have you thought about the consequences?¡± Hyperion was stunned and shook his head in a daze. Oceanus sighed. ¡°Sigh! Lorne is a variable, the biggest variable, a variable that can change the world. Even if we can¡¯t rope him in, we can¡¯t give him any reason to enter Zeus¡¯s camp.¡± While Hyperion was deep in thought, Oceanus nodded and left. But what he didn¡¯t know was that although Hyperion understood, he couldn¡¯t let it go. A seed had been sown in his heart. ¡­ At that moment, in the depths of the blue waves and the endless sea, at the bottom of a huge canyon thousands of meters deep, dry land once again appeared. It was filled with all kinds of trees and flower seeds, the seawater halted outside the canyon. It was charming to look at. Such a strange place was naturally created by a god using endless divine power. At this moment, outside the canyon, a graceful young girl was quietly standing at the bottom of the sea. The dark blue seawater was incomparably quiet, juxtaposed with the deep, dark bottom of the sea. Not long after, a god that looked like a middle-aged man appeared at the edge of the canyon. With a light wave, a hole appeared on the fluorescent screen outside the canyon. However, the strange thing was that there was no seawater pouring in. The young girl immediately stepped forward, and her entire body stirred up a whirlpool of seawater. Then, she flew directly into the canyon. ¡°Big brother! Long time no see!¡± The young girl looked at the middle-aged man and smiled gently. In an instant, the hundreds of flowers in the entire canyon seemed to lose their color, becoming the foil to the young girl¡¯s smile. The middle-aged man also stroked the young girl¡¯s beautiful hair very lovingly.. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The girl was none other than Aphrodite. The middle-aged man was not an ordinary person, but the sea god Pontus. He rarely walked on the earth and usually lived in seclusion at the bottom of the deep sea. Ordinary folk would never come upon this place. ¡°Hehe, I came here to see you!¡± Aphrodite followed Pontus and answered while admiring the surrounding scenery. ¡°Right! Brother, an interesting ancient god has appeared in the world.¡± After the two chatted for a while, they came to Pontus¡¯residence. After sitting down, Aphrodite thought of something and told him with a smile on her face. ¡°Oh?¡± Sure enough, Pontus became interested upon hearing it. ¡°You should have heard of this name. He used to be called the Hecatoncheires. They merged into one, and now his name is Lorne!¡± ¡°Hecatoncheires? Weren¡¯t they imprisoned in Tartarus?¡± Pontus was a little surprised when he heard that, and then he asked her curiously. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Anyway, he seems to have escaped, and he has become very handsome and powerful. Even God King Cronus is no match for him. I don¡¯t think you would be a match for Lorne either. He even got another divine sword in the far west sea!¡± Aphrodite seemed to be talking to herself as she excitedly spilled it all to Pontus. ¡°Oh? He got his hands on the newborn divine sword?¡± Pontus was a little surprised when he heard it. ¡°Oh? You know it?¡± Pontus shook his head and smiled. ¡°Have you forgotten what I am the god of? The divine sword was born about a few years ago. It caused a huge commotion in the sea, so I went to check it out. I thought I got lucky, but another god came. I sensed his power and it was immense, so I wasn¡¯t sure if I could defeat him. ¡°I also sensed that the divine sword was still a long time away from birth. In addition, I wasn¡¯t interested in staying there, so I left. So, that person turned out to be Lorne!¡± Aphrodite sighed with emotion. It seemed that the divine sword was really fated to be with him! The vast sea was boundless, and the divine sword just happened to appear in the area where he was. Then, Aphrodite spoke of many things that she had heard from other places. ¡­ As time passed, although the gods of Titan and Olympus had signed an agreement, the battle between the two sides began again. However, this time, they fought in the air, or they arranged battles in Tartarus. Some battles still occurred on the ground, but they were quickly broken up if no winner could be determined within a few moves. In the southern part of the continent, there was a primeval forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no sunlight all day long, and it was filled with dark fog and miasma. The creatures that entered were rarely able to escape, and it was known as the Lost Forest. Many spirit fruits grew inside, which could increase the power of the gods. This fertile land became the focus of the battle between the two sides. In a hundred orchards in the lost forest, teams of soldiers dressed in the Olympians¡¯ garb were carrying out normal patrols. This was the fruit garden that an Olympian god had discovered by accident not long ago. There were a lot of spiritual fruits in it, so it had been reported immediately to Zeus. Zeus took notice of it and sent a heavy guard. This greatly increased Olympian¡¯s strength, causing the Titans to launch sneak attacks frequently. Suddenly, countless boulders fell from the sky. Immediately, countless soldiers were smashed to death, causing chaos. ¡°Not good! The Titans have launched an ambush!¡± Suddenly, a panicked voice was heard. The god guarding this place was Zeus¡¯ son, Ares. When he heard these words.. he was instantly overjoyed. ¡°Damn it! I¡¯ve been itching for a battle. To think that one would find me! Men! Follow me and charge out!¡± After saying that, he immediately donned his armor and rushed out with a heavy bronze spear in hand. His aura burst across the battlefield. He had always liked to fight. Ever since the start of the war with the Titans, he had been extremely excited. One of his traits as the god of war allowed him the grow stronger the more he fought. In the war, he was like a fish in water. Among the Olympian gods, he was also one of their heaviest hitters. However, ever since he had signed the agreement, he had been sent to guard the sacred mountain. This time, it had taken a lot of pleading for him to agree to guard the hundred fruit garden. This had turned out to be a pleasant surprise. He had not expected an actual battle. The moment Ares went out, it became a massacre. Wherever he went, the Titan soldiers died tragically. The Olympian soldiers were overjoyed and moralized. ¡°Ares! You are courting death!¡± The Titan soldiers were slaughtered consecutively. Naturally, it got the attention of other forces. They appeared in front of Ares, blocking his intention to continue killing the soldiers. ¡°It¡¯s you? Hyperion?¡± Ares instantly recognized him. He was none other than Hyperion, one of the twelve main gods of the Titans. ¡°If you have the guts, meet me in the air!¡± Hyperion¡¯s eyes revealed killing intent as he shouted. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I have the guts!¡± After saying that, Ares charged into the sky without the slightest bit of fear. Hence, the two of them flew into the sky. A powerful clash began. As one of the main Titans, Hyperion was also in charge of the sky. Ares quickly found himself on the back foot. He took a beating and was quickly battered. After all, the current Ares was still too immature and had not grown up yet. Just at the critical moment, Olympus¡¯ reinforcements arrived. The person who came was none other than Ares¡¯ brother Apollo. The two of them worked together to block Hyperion. Not long after, the battle ended. Olympus suffered heavy losses, and many of the spirit trees in the orchard were destroyed. This made Ares furious. However, this scene happened all the time on the mainland. Ares was only another one to suffer. Other unlucky gods were wiped out, their spirits shattered. The Olympus gods suffered heavy losses. The conflict between the two sides escalated, but they were at a disadvantage. ¡­ In the palace on Mount Olympus. The gods sat together in a hall, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Zeus did not say a word and took the lead seat. His face was ashen. Hades, who was dressed in a black robe, stood up, sighing. ¡°Since three years ago, for some unknown reason, the Titans suddenly began to attack us en masse. They are powerful. If this continues, the situation won¡¯t be good!¡± It had been a long time since Cronus appeared, but this made them even more worried. After all, it was common knowledge that Cronus had been wounded by Lorne. If he recovered his strength, the war was over. All the gods felt their hearts tremble, but they were helpless. They were not willing to see a real war. After all, they were not as powerful as the Titans. However, if this dragged on, things would get even worse for them. ¡°Let¡¯s fight it out with them! I don¡¯t believe it! The Titans are courting death!¡± Ares could not hold it in anymore. He slammed the table and said angrily. ¡°With what exactly?¡± ¡°Then what should we do? We can¡¯t do this nor that!¡± Hence, the palace quietened down again. ¡°Why don¡¯t we approach Lorne?¡± Hera asked softly. ¡°After all, the Titans and Lorne are not exactly friendly with one another..¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Pointless!¡± Zeus spoke for the first time and sighed. Twenty years had passed since Lorne obtained the divine sword. It was not as if they had not attempted talks in these twenty years, but they had all been rejected. Even if he put down his pride and personally went to invite them, it would be of no use. If he was going to agree, he would have agreed long ago. The situation would not have ended up like this. The palace fell into silence once again. What should they do? Could they only wait for death? After all, the more time passed, the better it would be for them. However, the Titans would not give them another chance. Hades¡¯ eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He rapped on the table and attracted everyone¡¯s attention, he said slowly, ¡°I have a way! Was not Athena saved by Lorne a few years ago? Perhaps we can start from here!¡± After saying that, everyone looked at Athena, who was very quiet, and the latter was stunned. A few years ago, when she went out to search for treasures, she had encountered some Titans. When she was about to be overpowered, Lorne suddenly appeared and saved her name. From then on, the two of them had known each other. But she had never told anyone about this. How did Hades know this? Zeus was puzzled. ¡°Athena? She was saved by Lorne? Why didn¡¯t we know this?¡± Not only him, but the other gods also shook their heads. Hades felt a sense of pride in his heart. Then, he looked at Athena. ¡°Not only do I know that he saved you, I also know that the relationship between the two of you is not so ordinary!¡± As soon as he said that, Athena¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Shut up! We don¡¯t have any relationship!¡± However, Zeus reacted and looked at his daughter. ¡°Athena, what¡¯s going on? Why did you hide this information?¡± Athena remained silent and only glared at Hades. ¡°I know. Perhaps Lorne saved you, so you wanted to repay him. After a while, the two of you became familiar with each other.¡± Hades continued. Actually, it was also a coincidence. He was also at the scene when Athena was in danger, but he had been hiding in the dark. After that, he often followed Athena when she met Lorne. Athena was silent when she heard that. The gods took it that Hades was right. Hera was delighted and quickly looked at Athena. ¡°Athena, can you please help? Go and ask Lorne to help us.¡± Athena shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s really nothing between Lorne and me. It¡¯s just like what Hades said. I just wanted to repay him for saving me! I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help!¡± Just as the gods were feeling disappointed, Hades spoke again. ¡°How do we know if we can do it if we don¡¯t try? There¡¯s no harm in it anyway!¡± That¡¯s right! Why not try? What if we really succeed? The gods instantly stared at Athena, especially Zeus. ¡°Athena, please do this! As an Olympian, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll reject it, right?¡± Zeus directly put her in a spot, which made Athena very unhappy. However, when she looked at the gods¡¯ gazes, she could not bring herself to turn him down. Anyway, whether the other party agreed or not had nothing to do with her. She was not as confident as the others, even though she had a good impression of Lorne from the bottom of her heart. Zeus was very happy to see Athena nod. No matter what, Athena was his child. Once they had this relationship, even if they were enemies in the future, Lorne would not kill her, right? ¡°That¡¯s great, Athena. I¡¯ll go with you this time!¡± Hera was also very happy and decided to go with Athena. Lorne¡¯s current residence was called at the Alps, which was a little far from Olympus. Therefore, it would take them several days to get there. ¡­ After Lorne obtained the divine sword and traveled around, his eyes lit up when he caught sight of the Alps. He immediately planned to use this place as his residence. The Alps were not like the other mountains he had seen before. They were all green, but they were unique. The endless mountains were filled with dazzling colors, the mountains and plains were as beautiful as a fairytale world. The top of the mountain was covered in white snow. The mountain rocks were rugged and tall. In the middle of the mountain was a huge freshwater lake. The surrounding forest was covered with wildflowers. It was even more beautiful than a fairyland. He fell in love with this place at first sight, so he decided to settle down. Lorne built a castle on the lakeside. He planted the seeds of spirit trees and flowers that he had found when he traveled outside. He used his divine power to make the flowers flourish, making this place spring-like all year round. At that moment, Athena flew over from the distance with Hera and Hera. Looking at this fairyland-like place, Hera was very shocked. Such a beautiful place could only be inhabited by someone with the identity of Lorne. Athena detested the Olympian castle. Athens was like heaven and earth compared to this place. Only gods could live here. Loen, who was in the castle, suddenly frowned. ¡°Huh, why are they here?¡± Loen instantly found traces of the two. Not long after, Athena and Hera arrived outside the castle. Loen first nodded to Athena, then asked, ¡°May I know why are the two of you here?¡± After saying that, he plucked some of the spirit fruits on the mountain. Otherwise, if a guest came up, he would not be able to take out anything to entertain them. If word got out that he, Lorne, was stingy, that would not be good. Hera pulled Athena to sit down, and then unceremoniously took a bite of the spiritual fruit. She then motioned for Athena to open her mouth, making the latter feel a little awkward. After a while, Athena raised her head to look at Lorne, her pretty face slightly red. ¡°Lorne, you should know that the Titans and the Olympians have started to fight again, right?¡± Lorne did not think too much about it. He picked up a spiritual fruit and began to eat it. Then, he nodded and said, ¡°Yes! What is it?¡± ¡°Then what do you think of this war?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any opinions. As long as both of you don¡¯t accidentally hurt the innocents, it¡¯s fine!¡± Lorne knew the purpose of their visit, but he still maintained his posture. Athena¡¯s expression changed slightly, and Hera could not help but ask, ¡°Lorne, don¡¯t you want to end this war as soon as possible?¡± ¡°Eh? Of course, I do! But this is not something I can decide!¡± Lorne said with a surprised expression. He knew what Hera meant, but he would not join in, at least not at the moment. ¡°Then¡­¡± Hera¡¯s expression changed, and she was about to speak when Lorne interrupted her. ¡°Hera, drop it. I will not join the war!¡± Lorn rejected her very decisively.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Lorne, the Titans have begun to suppress us with all their might. Only you can help us. Just like you said, as long as you join us, you can decide the direction of the war and even end it quickly.¡± Seeing that Lorne was still as stubborn as usual, Hera became anxious. Lorne waved her concerns off. ¡°Hera, you don¡¯t have to elaborate on it. Take care!¡± With that, Lorne left the place. No one knew where he went, only Hera was left feeling disappointed, while Athena was left embarrassed. ¡°Hera, I told you, Lorne will not join the war! We will have to rely on ourselves!¡± Athena turned to comfort Hera. Hera smiled bitterly and sighed. ¡°It seems that we have to think of another way. Let¡¯s go back to the sacred mountain first and tell Zeus about this news. I don¡¯t believe that there are so many gods in this world that we can¡¯t find another ancient god!¡± With that said, Hera left the Alps with Athena. Hera¡¯s attitude towards Lorne had also begun to change, from her initial enthusiasm to her current coldness. ¡°Still too young!¡± Lorne looked at the backs of the two leaving. Are you kidding me? Trying to use a honey trap? Am I, Lorne, such a person? Hmm? They may actually be right! After that, he began to cultivate in seclusion and refine the divine sword at the same time. He was able to throw shade at these fabled gods, and he was far more powerful than any of them. After obtaining the divine sword, he began to refine it, but it was rather time-consuming. The stronger the divine weapon, the slower the refining speed. Lorne was in no hurry. On the contrary, he was somewhat happy. There were a total of thirty-six divine runes in the divine sword. It was the highest count yet seen among divine weapons. Even Zeus¡¯ thunder scepter which was also a divine artifact could not be compared to the divine sword. It only had twenty-seven divine runes. Currently, Lorne had only activated eighteen of those divine runes. The rest could only be refined over time. When they did, he would grow all the more powerful. It took time, but he finally learned that the gods had a hierarchy of their own. For example, at the top of it, you would find those who wielded divine weapons and divine generals. Most of others were demigods. They possessed divinity and stood higher than mortals, but they were cannon fodder, and Lorne could kill hundreds of them with a sneeze. Then there were the ordinary deities, which were equivalent to the commoners of the gods. Then there were the lower gods, gods, and high gods, which were the core strength of the gods. At the top were the main gods. For example, the twelve main Titans, the twelve main Olympians, and some powerful gods could fight on even ground, but there were also some who had broken through to the true god realm, such as Kronos, however, he had now fallen back to the main god level. There were also current true gods at Lorne¡¯s level. They came far and few between. If one were to go even higher, they would gain omnipotence. Even if the world was destroyed, they would not die. However, a level did not represent one¡¯s strength. A main God could always defeat a true God in some way. ¡­ After Hera returned to Mount Olympus, she spoke of the matter. Hades was finally silenced. Hera then told them what she thought of on the way. ¡°Since Lorne won¡¯t participate, then forget it. As long as he doesn¡¯t join the Titans, it¡¯s fine. We can invite other ancient gods.¡± The gods instantly understood what she was getting at. Their eyes lit up. That¡¯s right! Although there were very few ancient gods in this world, they could get hold of most of them. As long as they persuaded even one of them to side with them, it was fine! ¡°But what do we have to pay to get them to join us?¡± Zeus sat in the main seat and fell into deep thought. Hades rolled his eyes and thought of another idea. ¡°That¡¯s simple! It¡¯s nothing more than an enticement, such as offering some positions or a goddess!¡± After Hades finished speaking, the gods glanced at Athena without even hesitating. It made the latter frown, feeling that Hades did not mean well. ¡°I know that some Titans also really want to overthrow the court of Cronus. We can also start from here!¡± Hades continued. Zeus was surprised. This was a good idea. For example, he could lure the wives of the Titans over. Thinking of this, his heart was burning. This would not only weaken the power of the Titans, but also increase his power. He felt that he was slowly losing ground in the hearts of many, and he desperately wanted to scramble back up. Thus, after discussing for a while, the gods dispersed. Zeus also disappeared at the first opportunity. Athena noticed that Hades even revealed a sinister smile, as if his plan had succeeded. This made her a little uneasy. She felt that there was something wrong with Hades, but no one would believe it if she said it out loud. She could only suppress this doubt in her heart. When he left, she subconsciously followed him. Only after following him did she realize that Hades was not returning to his residence. They all had their own territories near Mount Olympus. She saw Hades running toward the entrance of Tartarus. Athena was even more confused now. ¡°Why would Hades go there? Why did he avoid everyone?¡± Tartarus was actually a free land. It was as big as the surface world, and it was boundless. Many Gods had ventured deep within, killed monsters, and obtained treasures from it. But quietly going there alone was somewhat suspicious. ¡­ After leaving the mountain, Hades felt that his plan was half completed, so he prepared to go to Tartarus once. But he felt that someone was following him, which raised his guard, so he pretended not to notice and directly flew in. After all, Tartarus was massive, and masked with the thick, stifling aura of darkness, it was very difficult to follow an individual through it. As expected, once Athena followed in, she lost track of Hades. She frowned and searched for a long time, but found nothing. ¡­ Hades hid in a miasma, so he naturally spotted Athena. ¡°Athena? I didn¡¯t expect her to notice!¡± Hades never expected her to realize, of all people. This was not good! ¡°So you wish to fall like a mortal! Don¡¯t blame me for this!¡± As Athena drew further from him, Hades¡¯ eyes flashed with killing intent. Then, he vanished. He took out a black stone that was filled with darkness. Evil runes were carved on it. He poured his divine power into the stone. It rose into the air. The runes came to life, forming a floral pattern. It released a beautiful blue light and formed a space door. Hades was used to it. He took a step into it and disappeared, and the hell flower also vanished. A moment later, he appeared in a space filled with evil energy. The space was surrounded by miasma, and there was only a huge throne in the middle that remained suspended in the air, like a giant city in the sky. ¡°Typhon! I¡¯m here!¡± Hades shouted in a deep voice. Not long after, a terrifying existence appeared on the throne.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The creature that appeared was extremely terrifying. It was even more bizarre and terrifying than the Hecatoncheires. It had a hundred dragon heads, but its body took the shape of a snake. Its mouths were filled with snake tongues, and it sometimes spoke in human language, and at other times, it spoke in the voices of various animals. It was ever-changing, and there was a ball of fire in its eyes, producing an extremely strong sense of oppression. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Typhon was a demonic singularity, the source of evil. As he was so powerful, Gaia was afraid that he would destroy the world, so she joined hands with the God of Creation Tartarus, preventing him from taking even half a step out of Tartarus. Of course, he wasn¡¯t pleased with this decision. Why couldn¡¯t he go to the beautiful world outside, instead, he had to be imprisoned in this dark hell! Thus, he did everything he could to escape from this place. However, even though he was very powerful, there was nothing he could do after being sealed by the two Gods of Creation. To think that he and Hades were on talking terms. If news of this spread, it would shock countless people. ¡°Things have changed!¡± Hades was not afraid of Typhon. He unraveled his plans. ¡°Now that I¡¯ve given Zeus and the others something to argue about, the inner strife within them will definitely continue to erupt. When a great battle breaks out, who knows how many lives would be lost! By then, you should be able to gain even more power, right?¡± Typhon spoke in a language only gods could hear. ¡°That¡¯s right! As long as there is an endless stream of blood and evil thoughts, I will only become stronger! When that time comes, no Titan or Zeus will be my match. When that time comes, I will be the new God-King!¡± Typhon knew that his main body would remain trapped here, so he thought of an idea, which was to represent himself as a humanoid avatar in the outside world. Thus, by chance, he found Hades. ¡°That¡¯s good! Let them continue the war! But now that the Titans are gaining the upper hand, I also need to be stronger to maintain the balance!¡± Hades continued to speak in a deep voice. It was also an accident that he knew Typhon. Many years ago, when he was training in Tartarus, he came across a powerful demon. Just as he was about to flee, the other party stopped him and introduced himself as Typhon. He naturally knew Typhon, the ancestor of the demons! The source of evil. At that time, he was still a righteous god, so he was naturally very afraid. However, the demon only told him that in the future, if he encountered any difficulties, he could come and look for him. Then, he left the black stone behind and disappeared. Hades quickly left the place after that. He told no one about this. As he fell at the mercy of a Titan, he thought of Typhon. At first, he was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still used the stone. At first, he wanted to use him to defeat the Titans, but the other party told him that he could help him become the new God-King. He began to refuse his offer and said that he did not need it, but the other party told him that.., even if he defeated the Titans, his situation would not be good. Zeus would become the new God-King, and he would grow paranoid of those who stood beside him. Of course, he did not believe it. Zeus had personally saved them, so how would he betray them? But as time passed, Zeus gradually revealed his true nature. He was arrogant, petty, narrow-minded, and so on. He finally agreed to Typhon¡¯s conditions. The two began to work together. ¡°That¡¯s simple! I think your current strength should be at the peak of the main god level, right? I will help you break through to the true god level! But don¡¯t you forget our agreement!¡± Typhon warned him. Although the two were in a cooperative relationship, they remained suspicious of each other. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Your avatar would be free soon!¡± Hades was not stupid. Typhon was very powerful. If his true form was ever released, it would be the end of the world. Thus, he only agreed to allow his avatar out. ¡°Alright!¡± Typhon agreed. He spat out a dark crystal, telling him that after absorbing this, he could advance to the true god realm. ¡°Oh right, Athena followed me when I came here. I suspect that she knows something, so I need you to get rid of her!¡± Hades was delighted after taking the crystal and said. ¡°Hmm? You were not vigilant enough! Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll send someone!¡± Typhon agreed. He looked at Hades with disdain. When my avatar leaves, the position of the God-King will be mine! How could I give it to Hades? When that time comes, he would open the seal and release his main body. At that time, no one would be able to stop him! ¡­ Lorne, who was refining the divine runes, had already reached the final juncture. Suddenly, he let out a loud shout. His power was released into the divine runes one after another, engraving his own divine power into the divine rune in one go. After that, the divine sword shone brightly. Lorne could feel that the power of the divine sword in his control increasing by a little. ¡°Haha!¡± Then, Lorne opened his eyes and laughed loudly, feeling very happy. His strength had increased by a little, and when he felt the destructive aura of the divine sword, he could not help but want to release it again. However, his divine power was so powerful that even the slightest force would destroy everything within tens of thousands of kilometers. Thus, he decided to go to Tartarus. It was the ideal testing site. Most importantly, no one was watching over it. In addition, there were countless magical beasts and monsters. It even came with free target practice. He left as he willed it. He disappeared in an instant and drilled into the earth. Finally, he came to the entrance of Tartarus. Sensing a somewhat familiar aura, Lorne did not stop. He planned to enter the core. He crossed tens of thousands of kilometers before finally arriving at a place with a very strong evil presence. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be anyone disturbing this place, right?¡± Lorne did not believe that there would be any gods coming to this place. They had always avoided places like this. Then, the divine sword suddenly materialized, and Lorne held it tightly. The divine power in his body flowed into the divine sword, and the sword gleamed with power. At that moment, the aura around his body changed completely. ¡°Slash!¡± Lorne spun and rose into the air, instantly slashing out at the mass of miasma in front of him. Instantly, a golden sword aura with endless power flashed out. Wherever it went, the evil miasma and darkness were purified, and the space was shattered like glass. Boom!!! The sword aura arrived in an instant and eradicated the miasma mass that was hundreds of miles wide. The miasma mass immediately broke into pieces and quickly dissipated, like a pot of boiling water that had been poured on ice. There was a huge tremor nearby, which attracted a mutated lizard that was thousands of feet tall. Because it had a pair of wings on its body, it was very ugly. After seeing Lorne, the mutated lizard even opened its big mouth that emitted a foul smell. Its row of sharp teeth looked extremely sharp. Many magical beasts and monsters that were born in Tartarus were mostly unintelligent. They would crush everything they saw into pieces and then eat it. In their minds, the concept of differing power and strength did not exist. That was why when it saw Lorne, it immediately spat out a blue flame that was hundreds of meters long. ¡°Good timing!¡± Lorne¡¯s body spun and disappeared from where he was. He appeared at the side of the mutated lizard and slashed at it with his divine sword. He directly cut off one of its wings.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation *Screeee! * The mutated lizard let out an ear-piercing sound as it felt the pain. Its entire body suddenly one wing, and it struggled to maintain its balance, the other wing flapping wildly. However, Lorne did not give it a chance at all. He air-walked and arrived above the mutated lizard. The divine sword directly thrust into the lizard¡¯s spine before he twisted it vigorously. A stream of green blood gushed up like a fountain, and it immediately lost signs of life. Unfortunately, the lizard did not have a divine spark in its body, so it could not provide Lorne with energy. After settling this event, Lorn began to practice his swordsmanship again. ¡­ On the other end of Tartarus. Athena intended to leave Tartarus after she lost track of Hades. However, before she could take action, a group of powerful magical beasts surrounded her and threw themselves at her. It instantly put her in danger. After using one-third of her divine power, she broke free. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, another group of more powerful magical beasts came, led by something else with some intelligence. As smart as she was, she immediately realized that something was wrong. It was not that she was unlucky, but someone was actually targeting her. However, she could not figure out who it was even after wracking her brains. The only person who had a grudge against her were the Titans. However, they could not command the magical beasts of Tartarus. She did not have time to think about it. She had to escape first. As she went deeper into Tartarus, the miasma grew thicker and thicker. The divine power in her body gradually became unable to sustain herself. In addition to the pursuit of the magical beasts, she fell into a dangerous situation several times. She had already lost her way. The number of magical beasts behind her increased, causing her to lose hope. ¡°Is this the day where I sink into Tartarus?¡± Athena laughed bitterly. She knew that she would probably not escape this time. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to escape!¡± The voice of a magical beast came from behind her. It sounded like metal cutting through the ground. It was very bitter and unpleasant to hear. Another flying magical beast blocked her path. She summoned her weapon and spear and dealt with it. However, she was delayed for a moment and the magical beasts behind her caught up. ¡°Why are you after me?¡± Athena asked as she attacked, trying to figure out who was trying to kill her. The magical beast did not say anything and ordered its subordinates to attack and consume Athena¡¯s divine power. ¡°Hmph! You filthy magical beasts! Sooner or later, I will be avenged!¡± Athena immediately went after the intelligent magical beast. She poured the last of her divine power into her weapon and struck with all her might! It could not dodge in time and was struck in the abdomen. The magical beast was enraged. ¡°You asked for it!¡± After saying that, it personally attacked. It was a devilfish. Its entire body was covered with pitch-black hard scales, and it could fly in the air. She directly spat out an ice arrow from her mouth and fired it towards Athena with an armor-piercing force. Athena dodged the ice arrow, but her arm was cut by another magical beast. She put away her weapon and started to defend herself with her bare hands. She looked very focused. She fought and ran. She would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope. At the same time, she also used the terrain. A few days had passed, but Athena still fought on. It did not seem like she could be finished off. This caused the devilfish to gradually lose its patience and attack more recklessly. Immediately, Athena found herself in a dangerous situation. ¡°PFFT!!¡± Athena was exhausted at the moment, and she was also slow to react. A moment of carelessness was all it took, and she was hit on the back by a magical beast raising its claws. Her entire body was sent flying, and she crashed into a mountain rock in the distance, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She could no longer resist. As the beasts surrounded her, she could not help but recall a figure in her mind ¡ª Lorne. This strange yet powerful and mysterious god had left an indelible impression on her. ¡°It looks like I won¡¯t be able to see you one last time!¡± Athena muttered. ¡°As expected of one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. It was really troublesome to get rid of you!¡± The devilfish kept opening its mouth to speak, and its tone was extremely cold. It had chased after and killed countless magical beasts along the way. Athena closed her eyes at that moment, ready to accept the fate of death. ¡°Goodbye, Athena!¡± After saying that, the devilfish decided to carry out its final attack. Boom! Just as it was about to make its move, a huge boulder suddenly flew over, forcing it to quickly dodge. Then, it looked behind with extreme vigilance. ¡°Who is it!¡± The devilfish had a bad premonition in its heart. It saw an excessively young god descend from the sky. His expression was leisurely, and his demeanor was graceful. ¡°Who are you?¡± The devilfish directly ordered its many magical beasts to surround the person. It was somewhat unable to determine this person¡¯s strength. ¡°The one who kills you!¡± The person¡¯s voice was neither slow nor soft, as if he was only speaking casually. The devilfish was extremely angry when it saw this and laughed, ¡°How delusional! With just you?¡± It was both shocked and angry. It had not expected this person to be so arrogant. Even if it could not win, could it not escape? Moreover, it still had tens of thousands of magical beasts under its command. They could buy some time for it to escape! This was Tartarus! The devilfish did not know him, but Athena recognized the voice. She opened her eyes in disbelief and looked over with an incredulous expression. Suddenly, her body trembled. It was the figure she had thought of before she was killed, Lorne! That¡¯s right, it was Lorne. He had planned to leave after practicing his swordsmanship, but he suddenly sensed a familiar aura and rushed over. He did not expect that Athena was being chased, which came as a great shock to him. Good heavens, what did this girl do? She was being chased by an intelligent magical beast! One had to know that magical beasts rarely made such a move. Out of curiosity, he had appeared and saved her. As he heard the scornful voice of the devilfish, Lorn¡¯s expression did not change. He did not have the desire to talk to the magical beasts. He directly ignored the other party and swung his sword at it. Boom!!! The sword aura that tore through everything brought with it an irresistible power and instantly cut the devilfish into two halves. The scornful expression on the other party¡¯s face did not disappear and was frozen in death. Not only it, but all the magical beasts around it were annihilated as well. They could not be more dead. Lorne then put away his long sword and came to Athena. ¡°Are you alright?¡± After helping her up, he asked with a trace of concern. Athena was stunned at that moment. She had never expected that the person she loved would descend from the sky at the moment of her life and death. He had struck down the enemy with a sword and saved her. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m fine!¡± Athena shook her head to show that she was fine, but her heart was not as calm as she seemed.. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne could sense that the other party had used up all her divine power, and the evil miasma around them was slowly eroding her divine body. He frowned and waved his hand, and immediately, a protective membrane appeared on Athena¡¯s body. Athena was stunned, and then she said in a low voice, ¡°Thank you, Lorne!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, but how did you get caught up in this situation? Why are these magical beasts chasing you? There was even an intelligent magical beast?¡± Lorne was not troubled by the strength of these enemies, but he was just a little curious. Athena raised her head in confusion when she heard that, looking at Lorne in a daze. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not sure either.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lorne saw that she was just as clueless as he way, so he cradled her gently and prepared to leave. With Lorne by her side, no magical beasts or monsters would ever pose a problem. After Lorn and Athena left, a black mist suddenly appeared. As it gazed at the disappearing figures of the two, its eyes were filled with fear and curiosity. ¡°Strange! When did such a powerful being appear among the gods? Hades has not been telling me the whole truth!¡± It was Typhon. The subordinates it had sent previously suddenly lost all signs of life, forcing it to investigate the situation itself. However, it sensed a very powerful aura, so it did not plan to show itself just yet. ¡°It is precisely because you kept this from me that Athena was rescued. Whatever happens next is not of my doing!¡± After saying that, it sneered and disappeared. As for whether or not Hades would be exposed? What did this have to do with it? At most, it would just have to find another associate. ¡­ At this moment, in a mysterious mountain surrounded by an immortal aura, three uninvited guests had arrived at a place that was previously unfrequented. ¡°Themis, Mnemosyne, come with me! Leave the Titan Court and return to Mount Olympus with me?¡± Zeus was filled with tenderness as he spoke slowly to the two goddesses opposite him. Themis and Mnemosyne looked at each other and were stunned. Before Zeus started waging war against the Titan Court, he had already fornicated with these two goddesses. Unfortunately, a divine war broke out in the end. The three of them buried their feelings at the bottom of their hearts. After all, one was their elder brother and the other was their husband. It was very uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle, especially when Cronus had grown even warier of them, he would look at them from time to time with a strange gaze, making them feel rather uncomfortable. They felt wronged. They had never helped Zeus in any way. Unfortunately, Cronus still remained skeptical. For the entire period of time, their hearts were very tormented. Suddenly, they heard Zeus¡¯ voice transmission. He wanted to meet the two of them. After hesitating for a moment, they still came to meet him. ¡°Zeus, don¡¯t speak of this. Titan Court is our home! We can not leave.¡± Themis looked very conflicted, but she still refused him. When Zeus heard her words, he immediately became anxious. ¡°The current Cronus has changed. He is no longer the God King who was full of justice and kindness. Titan Court is no longer your home! They don¡¯t believe in you anymore! Come back with me! With me here, Olympus is your home!¡± He comforted them patiently, which moved Mnemosyne¡¯s heart. When she looked at Zeus¡¯sincere expression, she hesitated in her heart. Yes, now that Cronus was doubting them, even if they fought at the front every time, it would never dispel the doubt in their hearts, even if no one said anything. Even so, she was perceptive enough to know. At Zeus¡¯persistent persuasion, Mnemosyne wavered. If this went on, what meaning would there be in the Titan Court? It would be better to follow Zeus to Olympus. Hence, she turned her gaze to Themis. Themis was also hesitant, but she still could not make up her mind. After all, if they agreed, it would mean that they had betrayed the Titan Court. Zeus could only produce his trump card. ¡°What of your children? Now that they are also in Olympus, are you going to fight them?¡± As soon as Zeus finished his words, Themis¡¯ face changed. A pained expression appeared on her face. Zeus was heartbroken to see that expression. Although he was a scumbag, he was true to his goddesses. Otherwise, more goddesses would not come rushing toward him like moths to a flame even with the knowledge that he had a few wives. He took a step forward and hugged the two tightly in his arms. ¡°Follow me, okay? Our family will never be separated again!¡± Zeus said very gently at that moment. It nibbled away at the last bit of resistance Themis had left in her heart. She nodded shyly. ¡­ The next day, Themis and Mnemosyne, two of the twelve main gods of Titan¡¯s court, defected to the camp of Olympus and immediately shook the entire world. At the same time, many creatures took note of Zeus¡¯ name. Olympus naturally laughed and cheered. The addition of two of the Titan¡¯s main gods raised their morale greatly and slowed down the offense of Titan¡¯s court. Therefore, when the Titan¡¯s court learned of this, word had already spread far and wide. At that moment, the Titan¡¯s court, in the Parliament Hall. At that moment, there were originally twelve chairs in the hall, but now there were only nine chairs. The atmosphere was very solemn. Cronus, who had disappeared for a long time, also appeared. At this moment, his face was abnormally livid. He never thought that as he was recovering his strength, Zeus would actually make such a move. ¡°I already said that they were following Zeus previously and couldn¡¯t be trusted. What happened now? As expected, they¡¯ve betrayed us! Morale is at an all-time low. The outside world is saying that our Titan Court is doomed! Even the main gods have betrayed us!¡± Hyperion could not hold it in any longer and spoke first. ¡°Enough!¡± Cronus frowned and interrupted him. ¡°Zeus is simply going too far! He actually dared to kidnap our goddesses! There must be an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, how would the gods look at us Titan gods?¡± Cronus looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice. ¡°That¡¯s right, since that¡¯s the case, we will directly launch an attack and uproot them!¡± Hyperion was the first to agree. Oceanus frowned, ¡°Now is not the best time!¡± ¡°Then what should we do? Do we let the gods laugh at us?¡± Hyperion retorted. ¡°That¡¯s right! We have to speak up about this!¡± ¡°Right! Zeus is too arrogant! We have to teach him a lesson!¡± The other main gods also spoke up one after another. This time, Zeus had really gone too far. He had actually abducted their Titan Goddess, and it wasn¡¯t just any of their random goddesses. This filled them with righteous indignation.., many male gods had been long interested in these two goddesses! Cronus watched the ruckus in the hall. He immediately waved his hand, and the other main gods all shut their mouths and looked at him.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°If that¡¯s the case, Hyperion, take your men to Olympus. Ask them for an explanation. If necessary, you can use force to oppress them! Right now, they don¡¯t want to carry out any decisive battles with us. Remember, you are there to demonstrate our strength, not as an envoy!¡± Cronus instructed Hyperion. ¡°Yes! God King! I promise to force an explanation out of Zeus!¡± Hyperion was very excited when he heard this and immediately promised. On the other hand, Oceanus was a little hesitant, ¡°God King, this¡­¡± He had not expected the God King to hand this matter over to the impulsive Hyperion, which left him a little worried. ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Cronus understood what he meant, but they needed to be ruthless and strong at this moment, or else it would be detrimental to their morale and reputation. ¡­ By then, Lorne had flown back to his fief, the Alps, with Athena. After several days of treatment, the miasma in Athena¡¯s body had been completely removed. However, her injuries still needed some time to recover. They were in a luxurious room, where everything in the room was similar to the 21st century. Lorne had used his divinity to create this room. Athena was looking at everything in the room. She had grown to love everything in the room after a few days of living there. At that moment, she was sitting on a sofa, hugging a pillow. She looked at Lorne with a smile. ¡°Lorne, thank you for your help these past few days. Also, your home is really comfortable!¡± Lorne smiled slightly. He was naturally very proud of everything here. ¡°Of course. How could it match my status if I¡¯m not comfortable? But if you like it, you can also treat this place as your home!¡± Athena was stunned. She had not expected Lorne to be so straightforward. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and traces of redness spread to her ears. Lorne also realized what his words had meant at that moment, but seeing Athena¡¯s blushing face without any refusal¡­ his heart immediately warmed up. ¡°I mean, you can also build a house here and live here!¡± Lorne¡¯s words moved Athena greatly. She already had a good impression of Lorne, and with Lorne saving her this time and taking care of her for a few days, she was growing fond of him. But when she thought of the human city-states under her command in Athens, her sense of duty sobered her up. ¡°Thank you! But my city-states also need me!¡± Lorne felt a little regretful when he heard that. ¡°But can I come over whenever I want to in the future?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lorne agreed with a smile. Athena stood up and prepared to leave. She wanted to return to Athens to take a look before going to Olympus. Lorne naturally agreed. As she left, Lorne turned around and returned to his house. Feeling a little cold, he planned to find some maids. ¡°There are many intelligent creatures in this world! Looks like I¡¯ll have to find myself some beautiful maids!¡± Lorne held his chin and thought to himself. After all, many gods would have some maids and guards around them. So he prepared to go out. ¡­ Mount Olympus was originally calm, but it was suddenly interrupted by a violent voice. ¡°Zeus! Get out here!¡± The loud voice overturned countless trees and spread throughout Mount Olympus. Countless gods flew out one after another and glared at the rude visitor. Zeus and the others also came out when they heard the commotion. They frowned when they saw the person who came. ¡°Hyperion, how dare you come to my Olympus and behave so atrociously? Are you tired of living?¡± Zeus questioned him directly, his voice as cold as ice. Hyperion laughed out loud, ¡°Zeus, cut the crap. Hand over my Titan goddesses. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you used despicable means to take them away! Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± His voice was as loud as thunder, making Zeus¡¯ face as black as an iron pot. He could not help but become angry. What despicable means did I use? If word got out, wouldn¡¯t his reputation be tarnished? ¡°Damn it! Hyperion, don¡¯t slander me. They came to me on their own accord!¡± Zeus hurriedly explained. ¡°Hmph! Zeus, you can fool others, but you can¡¯t fool me. If you don¡¯t hand them over today, I¡¯ll definitely trample on your Olympus!¡± In any case, Hyperion was firm on his judgment. This made Zeus so angry that he laughed. ¡°With just you? You¡¯re courting death!¡± He no longer wanted to waste his breath. He wanted to directly kill the other party. Since the other party was only one person, if he killed the other party, the other party would lose a sovereign. They clashed, and he secretly contacted the Olympian gods. ¡­ Lorne also heard of Zeus¡¯ actions and could not help but be astonished. What a fellow, he actually managed to abduct two sovereign figures. ¡°However, Cronus will definitely not give up. If we go to Mount Olympus now, we might even be able to watch a good show!¡± Thus, Lorne flew towards Mount Olympus. Not long after, he heard the other party¡¯s conversation. Thus, he stopped in the clouds and began to watch a good show. He had not expected Zeus to be so eloquent. Unfortunately, he was up against the unreasonable Hyperion. ¡°Eh!¡± Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something, and his face instantly revealed a mischievous expression. He sensed that several main gods¡¯ auras were secretly approaching Olympus, and there was also a somewhat familiar scent. Needless to say, Zeus wanted to quickly take down Hyperion, which was why he called people to secretly come over. However, in his perception, there were also several other Titan main gods¡¯ auras. ¡°Looks like they are all playing a game of canary in hand. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know who the real canary is! Interesting!¡± It was a pity that there were no fruits and wine at hand now. Otherwise, he would be even more comfortable. ¡­ At that moment, Zeus seemed to have received some news. He looked at Hyperion and revealed a killing intent. ¡°Hyperion, you have quite a powerful mouth there. I just don¡¯t know if fists can match up to your mouth!¡± Zeus mocked him loudly. ¡°More than enough to kill you!¡± Hyperion did not show any signs of weakness. ¡°Very good! I hope you remain this unyielding after this! Attack!¡± Zeus laughed coldly, then suddenly gave the order. Three figures appeared about Hyperion ¡ª Poseidon, Hades, and Ares. These were particularly bitter enemies. Not too long ago, Ares had just experienced a breakthrough. When they saw the bloodthirsty Hyperion the four of them quickly surrounded the Titan. ¡°Zeus, it seems that you have long prepared for this!¡± Hyperion¡¯s expression changed, his face ashen. He had not expected Zeus to be so ungentlemanly. ¡°You actually came to Olympus alone. I don¡¯t know if you are stupid or arrogant! Since you have come, don¡¯t expect to go back!¡± Zeus looked at the other party, his face filled with ridicule. He paid no attention to the army Hyperion had brought with him. ¡°Hmph! With four of you here, we can have an even fight! Now it gets real!¡± After saying that, he took the lead and attacked Zeus.. Chapter 20 - Athena In Danger! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A great battle erupted in an instant, creating ripples that dispersed the surrounding clouds and mist, but it did not affect Lorne in the slightest. The destructive power of the five beings were extremely powerful. If it had been on land, Mount Olympus would have been destroyed long ago. Thus, everyone consciously directed their attacks into the air. Even so, Hyperion held himself well. A few minutes passed without any holes appearing in his defenses. Lorne shook his head repeatedly as he watched. He could not help but look towards the front. ¡°Still lying in wait?¡± Lorne was looking in the direction of the other Titan who lay in wait. Only Lorne alone was able to sense their presence. If they waited any longer, even Hyperion was bound to get hurt! Suddenly, they bolted into action. Two figures flew over and instantly stood before Hyperion, defending him from further damage. Zeus and the others¡¯ expressions changed as they retreated one after another. They looked at the person who came with great fear. Their faces were ashen. If they had been unable to sense this figure¡¯s presence, he had to be extremely powerful, right? ¡°Quite adept at hiding, are you?¡± Zeus took a deep breath and mocked him. He naturally recognized the person, Oceanus. However, Oceanus did not answer Zeus. Instead, he looked in Lorne¡¯s direction with vigilance. ¡°I don¡¯t know who you are, please show yourself!¡± As soon as he said that, the others instantly became vigilant. They looked at Lorne¡¯s direction, but they were puzzled. They sensed nothing. Lorne had not expected Oceanus to discover him. Oceanus had to at least be as powerful as a true God! ¡°Ahem! You guys continue! Don¡¯t worry about me! I¡¯m just here to watch the show!¡± Lorne showed himself, grinning sheepishly. It wasn¡¯t like he was trespassing, so he appeared to greet everyone and waved his hand. Everyone was stunned, and they were speechless. What do you mean we should continue? We wouldn¡¯t dare to continue fighting while you are here. ¡°You!¡± Oceanus had not expected Lorne to be here. His eyes were filled with fear, and he naturally heard Lorne¡¯s words. He could not help but twitch his lips. It seemed that you are treating us as monkeys putting on a show. I don¡¯t like that one bit, but I¡¯m afraid of you all the same. Zeus and the others, especially Hades, had sinister looks in their eyes. At that moment, he had finished absorbing the crystal and his strength had broken through to the true god realm. Therefore, when he heard Lorne¡¯s words.., he could not help but want to reveal his strength and attack Lorne. But in the end, he still held it in. He wanted to reveal his strength at the most critical moment, and then finish off the Titan gods with one hammer strike before ascending to the throne of the God King. ¡°Eh?¡± Hades suppressed his power, but Lorne could still see that something was different. ¡°This is the dark miasma?¡± Lorne had some doubts in his heart, but he did not show it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. Seeing the fearful expressions of both sides, he immediately became bored. He knew that they would not continue fighting, so he left directly. Only then did Oceanus retract his gaze and stare at Zeus. ¡°Zeus, you must give the Titan court an explanation for this matter!¡± Zeus retorted directly, ¡°Hmph! What explanation? What explanation do you want me to give you! They willingly came to me!¡± ¡°Zeus! Since that¡¯s the case! Then don¡¯t regret it!¡± Oceanus threatened him and planned to leave. After all, this was their core area. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. In addition, now was not the best time to start a war, so there was no need to continue fighting! After saying that, he left with the worn-out Hyperion. Even so, Hyperion was disgruntled. ¡°Big Brother, are we just going to let this go?¡± Oceanus shook his head. ¡°Of course not! Since Zeus and the others dare to do one thing, why don¡¯t we dare to do two?¡± Hyperion was a little confused. He continued to stare at the other party. ¡°Since Zeus dares to plunder our Titan Goddesses! Then we will naturally return the favor! Plunder the gods of Olympus!¡± Oceanus sneered, ¡°My birds have told me that Zeus¡¯ daughter, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, Athena, is not on Mount Olympus.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­ an opportunity?¡± Hyperion had not expected Oceanus to actually want to plunder Athena, so he was a little hesitant. ¡°Hmph! Why not!¡± After saying that, they did not return to the Divine Court. Instead, they flew toward the City of Athens. On the other side, Lorne left and continued to fly toward the sea. In his eyes, the sea was his blessed land. The sea was boundless and filled with mystery and vastness. Lorne flew on the surface of the sea, feeling the fishy sea breeze. Bathed in the sunlight, he flew deeper into the sea. The sea was calm and the waves were sparkling, it was shining with colorful refracted light. Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and a huge tornado came from afar, stirring up endless waves. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lorne was a little surprised. Sensing the divine power fluctuations in the distance, he immediately rushed over. Not long after, he arrived at the place where the incident happened. He saw a deep-sea behemoth that was tens of thousands of feet long and hundreds of meters tall. Its body was covered with barbs, and it looked extremely terrifying. Lorne was stunned at first glance. He pointed at the monster in disbelief. ¡°Godzilla?¡± That¡¯s right. The deep-sea monster in the distance looked similar to the famed Kaiju, but it was not as tall and terrifying! Opposite the deep-sea monster was a young girl. She appeared like an elf in the deep sea, dancing in the sea. Every move of hers had a sense of beauty. Although the monster had immense strength, it could not hit the other party at all. It was extremely angry. It roared. Lorne could hear its exasperation and could not help but smile. ¡°It¡¯s her.¡± Lorne also recognized the young girl. It was the girl who had shocked him when they fought for the divine sword. This piqued Lorne¡¯s interest. He wanted to see when he could be a hero to save the damsel once again. As for the deep-sea monster, it posed no danger to him. Far away. The girl was not as relaxed as Lorne had viewed her. This Behemoth was very powerful. If she made a single error, she would be squelched into pulp, so she did not dare to relax at all. However, Lorne¡¯s arrival had distracted her. This was not ¡ª a moment of carelessness, and she did not manage to dodge. She was sent flying by the Behemoth and smashed into the distance. The Behemoth jumped in the air, wanting to completely finish off this annoying bug. The young girl closed her eyes tightly in fear. She originally thought that she was going to die this time, but after a long time, she realized that she was fine, so she opened her eyes and was stunned.. Chapter 21 - Reeling Lorne In! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She had gained a vast distance from the Behemoth and was high in the sky. A handsome face appeared in front of her. ¡°Lorne?¡± Her red lips parted slightly, somewhat surprised. Lorne smiled slightly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± The girl shook her head when she heard that. She hurriedly left Lorne¡¯s embrace, her face slightly flushed. The Behemoth spotted another worm swooping in to save its enemy and only grew more furious. Whoo-hoo! After a roar, it opened its huge mouth and fired an energy beam at Lorne. It shot at him like a quantum beam. ¡°Look out!¡± Lorne took a step forward, the sword suddenly appearing in his hand. He stood before the oncoming beam and sliced it. As if sensing Lorn¡¯s power, the deep-sea Behemoth let out a reticent cry and sank into the deep sea, quickly disappearing. The huge waves on the surface of the sea gradually calmed down. Lorne put away the divine sword and turned to look at the girl. ¡°Right, you are¡­¡± To be honest, he did not know this girl. He was a little curious. The girl smiled slightly. ¡°My name is Aphrodite, one of Olympus. I have always been born in the sea!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Lorne was a little surprised. ¡°You know me?¡± Aphrodite blinked curiously and looked at Lorne with a charming face. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of you!¡± Lorne shrugged and nodded. Well, it seems like this beautiful goddess had not married the God of Fire Hephaestus yet. ¡°By the way, was that a deep-sea Behemoth just now? Why haven¡¯t I encountered any of them after traveling for a long time?¡± After thinking for a while, Lorne asked. Aphrodite was still a little shaken by her encounter. ¡°Yes! They were originally a type of Behemoth that grew in the depths of the sea. Their abilities were very strange, but they were very powerful. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have been killed!¡± ¡°Are there many of them?¡± ¡°Their race is very powerful, but their numbers are very small. They do not reproduce easily. Otherwise, this world wouldn¡¯t be ruled by us gods.¡± Aphrodite explained. Anyone else would have trouble meeting these beasts. Only people like her who stayed in the deep sea all year round would be able to meet them. ¡°I see!¡± Lorne was deep in thought. Although he felt that he could kill the beast, there were very few beings who possessed that much power. In addition, they were scattered all over the world, so they were not seen as a threat to eradicate. ¡°Thank you for saving my life!¡± Aphrodite looked at Lorne with great sincerity and said gratefully. Unbeknownst to even herself, her eyes had a mythical charm of their own, especially when she was staring at others. Not many gods could not resist the temptation. ¡°Damn it! As expected of the Goddess of Sexual Desire. The most casual of movements from her would already draw you in!¡± Lorne was stunned for a while before he used his great willpower to finally shift his gaze away. He cursed in his heart. Aphrodite was amused by his reaction, not knowing it had been her doing. She found him interesting. After the two chatted for a while, a powerful divine power came from the sea and attracted Lorne¡¯s attention. Divine aura quickly covered his entire body as he stared at the water tensely. Something in a greatly weakened state was approaching. Even so, in that weakened stage, its power almost equaled his own. Not long after, the other party broke through the water surface. It was a middle-aged man. Right after he hovered above the water, he looked at Lorne with great surprise. The two of them locked gazes. At the same time, a silent battle of strength also began. The final battle ended with Lorne¡¯s victory, shocking the middle-aged god. It had only taken a moment, and Aphrodite naturally did not notice anything unusual. She happily introduced Lorne, ¡°Lorne, allow me. This is my brother Pontus, the first of the Sea Gods!¡± Aphrodite¡¯s words stunned Lorne. This was Pontus? He was the first person to ever force him to use his full strength. So it was this guy. He was a brother of the Mountain God Uriah whom he had met at the tripartite meeting. He was almost one of the oldest gods. It was unsurprising for him to be this powerful. Then, Aphrodite looked at Pontus. ¡°Brother, he is Lorne, whom I told you about before. He was the one who saved me just now!¡± Pontus was shocked when he heard that. He had not expected Lorne to be here. Then, he looked at Lorne and smiled bitterly. ¡°What an unexpected way to meet! You are so powerful! Thank you for saving my little sister!¡± Although he had many brothers and sisters, he was the closest to Aphrodite. ¡°I never expected to meet a Primordial here!¡± Lorne also smiled and replied. Aphrodite had mediated their meeting, so their conversation was quite relaxed. ¡°By the way, Lorne, what brings you here?¡± Aphrodite then winked at Lorne playfully and asked curiously. Lorne had already discovered that Aphrodite was very bold and seduction seem to be second nature to her. She was really walking on a tightrope. If there was a chance, he would definitely ¡°teach¡± her a lesson. Right now, Lorne could only glare at her in front of her brother. Then, he said nonchalantly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, really. My fiefdom is too deserted. I was just out to recruit a few¡­ guards.¡± Naturally, he would not specify his actual desires in front of a beauty. Pontus was a little surprised. ¡°Alright! I wish you good luck!¡± After all, with Lorne¡¯s strength, as long as word got out, there would definitely be no lack of applicants. However, he was surprised to see a god taking action by scouting for staff on his own. It was most unconventional. ¡°Thank you for your kind words! If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first!¡± Lorne nodded at Pontus, then glanced at Aphrodite fiercely, meaning that he would be back for her somday. Aphrodite was not cowed and fought back. Her peach eyes gazed at Lorne with a slight tease, meaning that she was waiting! When she saw Lorne¡¯s figure leaving in a sorry state, she could not help but giggle. She was very happy, which left Pontus sighing helplessly. ¡°Little sister, I have warned you about the use of your eyes. Be careful with them, or, you will have an accident sooner or later!¡± Pontus tried to dissuade her. Of course, he had noticed his little sister¡¯s actions towards Lorne. If that being came at them, he would not be able to stop him. ¡°It¡¯s okay, brother. Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m sure of myself!¡± Aphrodite said confidently. Pontus decided not to dissuade her. One day, she would have to learn this on her own. He looked at Lorne¡¯s departing figure and said slowly, ¡°If we let him take action, we should be able to quickly end the war and establish a new divine court!¡± Aphrodite shook her head and said, ¡°But he won¡¯t interfere. Hera has invited him countless times, to absolutely no avail.¡± ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Ponus lowered his head and smiled, but Aphrodite didn¡¯t hear him.. Chapter 22 - Cronus Plan Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After leaving Pontus, Lorne decided not to go to the sea. He planned to go directly to the human territory. The human race still ran a city-state system. Each city-state was a country. There were big and small city-states, with differing populations. Some were strong and prosperous, while some were weak and poor. He took the form of an ordinary human man and came to a human city called Troy. The human race had entered the Iron Age. However, iron was very rare. Only nobles could afford it, and the buildings were made of stone and wood. The city was bustling with activity, but it was very messy. Most of them walked bare feet, and clothes were a luxury. Other than the most important of parts, humans were mostly nude. Plus, there was a strange smell in air, which made Lorne very uncomfortable. The currency of this period was also a kind of shell produced by the sea. It was very bright and beautiful. Lorne walked and stopped at a small tavern. The environment inside was much better than the outside, but people like him who were clean and neatly dressed were very rare. They looked at him with envy and greed. Lorne took no notice of them. He ordered some food in the tavern and then paid attention to the discussions of the crowd. Most of them were boasting, but some had caught his attention, such as the table in front of him. The clothes of the people at that table were clean and tidy. It was obvious that they were of high status. ¡°Hey, buddies, have you heard? The king was captured during the war against Autreus City. Now those damn guys want our princess to exchange for the king. Hmph! The princess is the most beautiful woman in the world. How could she marry Autreus¡¯s middle-aged geezer!¡± ¡°Damn it! I heard it too! The High Priest has already agreed to it!¡± ¡°How is that possible! Isn¡¯t the princess supposed to be sacrificed to the Great Apollo? How could the High Priest use the sacrifice of the god in exchange? Does he want to die?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either! Regardless, they¡¯re carting the princess off to Autreus anytime now!¡± ¡°Crazy! They¡¯re crazy! They¡¯re blaspheming the gods!¡± ¡­ Lorne was very interested. He had not expected to hear a familiar name, Apollo. The human city-states each had a patron deity of their own. The gods behind each city-state were different, but he did not expect the city of Troy to be worshipping Apollo. This piqued his interest. After all, from what they said, Apollo had laid claim to this princess long ago, but they dared to defy his order. How bold of them. His perception left his body and soared up until he had a god¡¯s eye view of the entire city. In the King¡¯s bedroom, he spotted the princess, only to be a little surprised. This princess was actually a demigod. What was a demigod? It was a child born from the combination of a god and a human. They would inherit some of the abilities of a god and awaken at any time. These hybrids sometimes ended up being more powerful than some of the gods. However, this princess had not awakened yet, so she was as mortal as the others. However, she was very beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Athena or Aphrodite, she was still breathtaking. However, there was a deep sorrow on her face now. After all, she had been sent here and there like she was an inanimate item since she was born. Now, she had to be a concubine of a middle-aged king. Naturally, she would not be too happy. At that moment, an old man walked into the bedroom. He wore a priest robe and held a wizard scepter. He came to the princess. ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s time. Can you please leave?¡± His voice was very heavy but somewhat hoarse. ¡°High Priest, aren¡¯t you afraid that the gods will punish us? I am the sacrifice of the gods. How could you give me to another city-state?¡± The princess¡¯ face was pale. She was unwilling and tried to make the High Priest change his mind. The High Priest was unmoved. ¡°Your Highness, you don¡¯t have to worry! The gods will not know about this! Even if they knew, it would be useless! Do you know who is the god behind the Autreus city-state?¡± The princess shook her head blankly. Lorne, who was eavesdropping in the dark, was also interested. Could another god be involved with this matter? The High Priest revealed an excited expression. He said very sincerely, ¡°The god behind them is a Titan! The Titans stand shoulders above the other deities! This trade was decreed by the Titans. Now, I have long abandoned the dark and turned to the light. I have turned to the Titans. ¡°The god behind us is an evil god. Naturally, I will not let the city-state worship such an evil god! My princess, you should stop having false hopes!¡± After hearing this, the princess¡¯ expression turned gloomy, and her lively eyes lost their color. Lorne was also stunned. However, he was not someone that ordinary people could compare to, so his mind started to race. ¡°Interesting! This is too interesting! I didn¡¯t expect Cronus to have started shifting the narrative for the mortals!¡± Lorne shook his head and smiled. He naturally knew what Cronus was thinking. Why did all the gods want to become the God King? To become the Lord of the Divine Court? It was all because the God King could absorb the faith of all living beings and grow all the more powerful. Cronus had been weakening due to a lack of followers, but now he had actually found a way to solve it. Moreover, the Olympian gods had yet to realize this. If Cronus was allowed to gather his strength without any interruption, the war was as good as concluded. ¡°So Zeus pulled over two Titan goddesses to his side, yet I did not see any retaliation from Cronus. So this was what he was working on! How unlucky for me to have discovered this!¡± Lorne and Cronus were not on good terms, so he naturally wanted to ruin his plan. Once he made up his mind, he disappeared from the tavern. Strangely, there was no reaction from the people around him. Lorne went straight to the palace and suddenly appeared, shocking the High Priest. ¡°Who¡­ Who are you?¡± The old man secretly activated the power of his scepter and stared at Lorne. Lorne could not be bothered with him. With a wave of his right hand, the High Priest was sent flying. He turned around and looked at the princess, who was still in a daze. ¡°Hello, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lorne!¡± The Princess¡¯s originally silent heart suddenly trembled. She saw this ¡°person¡± who suddenly appeared take down the powerful High Priest with a light wave of his hand, then, she saw the other party looking at her. ¡°My name Is Damalis. Are you a god?¡± She first bowed and then asked Lorne nervously. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Lorne nodded. In this era, gods often came to the human world, so it was not unusual for gods to show up. When Damalis heard this, she was delighted.. ¡°Then were you sent by Apollo to save me?¡± Chapter 23 - The Titans Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne could not help but snort coldly when he heard this. ¡°Apollo? That coot? Is he worthy?¡± His voice was very disdainful, causing Damalis to be stunned for a moment before she became very nervous. which side was this god on? Humans were not clear about the wars and factions among the gods. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lord, I didn¡¯t know!¡± Damalis quickly apologized. ¡°Alright! Do not worry too much about that. You can¡¯t remain in Troy anymore. I¡¯ll bring you to a place where you can tell me more.¡± Lorne planned to bring the city-state princess to Athens and tell Athena about this matter. Then, they would visit a city that would grow very famous in the future. Damalis did not say anything when she heard that. She could only agree. She looked at the place where she had lived for more than ten years. It was filled with memories and pain. In the end, Lorne held her and disappeared from the spot. When the city guards came in, there was no one but the unconscious High Priest. ¡­ Athens was very far from here, by human standards. For Lorne, it was only a ten-minute journey. Damalis had never flown before, nor had she traveled this far. As she looked at the scenery around her, her originally nervous heart completely calmed down. She was even a little excited. ¡®Is this how gods view the world? I wish to be like them! Free and unfettered!¡¯ Damalis muttered to herself, looking forward to it. Lorne looked at her and did not say anything. He did not expect this woman to be so bold. ¡°Actually, gods are not free and unfettered!¡± Lorne read her thoughts. He answered her. Damalis was stunned. She did not expect this handsome god to actually answer her. ¡°But this is why I¡¯m bringing you with me. You indeed have the potential to be a god. Let¡¯s wait until we get to Athens!¡± ¡°Do you know the goddess of wisdom, Athena?¡± Damalis looked at Lorne excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s right! Have you heard of her?¡± Lorne was a little curious. Damalis quickly nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! Women worship her very much! She taught us many things and even protected humans. It¡¯s a pity that our city of Troy is very far away from her.¡± Lorne shook his head. Although he knew that Athena held a high status in human civilization, he did not expect human women to idolize her. Lorne did not talk to her after that. It did not take long for them to arrive at the city of Athens. However, he was shocked by the sight that greeted him. The city of Athens, which was rumored to be very prosperous, had now turned into ruins. Damalis also did not expect that this place would turn into ruins. She was a little stunned. Lorne¡¯s face turned ashen. He could not sense any traces of Athena. Even if Athena was not at home, she would definitely return home after such a huge incident. But now, it seemed that.., the humans were mournfully cleaning up the ruins. It had clearly been some time. There was only one possibility. Athena had been taken away. He was a little enraged. He flew directly to the sky above the city. At this moment, the surviving humans all knelt down to pay their respects. ¡°I am a friend of Athena¡¯s! What exactly happened? What has happened to your patron Goddess?¡± Lorne¡¯s voice spread throughout the city. The originally sad humans were stunned when they heard Lorne¡¯s words. Then, they were overjoyed and said loudly. ¡°Great God! Please save our Goddess!¡± ¡°The Goddess Athena was outnumbered and captured by four other gods!¡± ¡°Great, our Goddess can be saved!¡± ¡°Great God! As long as you can save the goddess Athena, I will be your most loyal believer.¡± ¡­ All kinds of prayers came from all directions and accurately entered Lorne¡¯s ears. When he heard the news, his heart moved. Could it be the Titans? That¡¯s right, only they had the motive and strength to pull this off. At this moment, Lorne was extremely furious. He understood what the Titans were getting at. Since Zeus could kidnap their women, they could also kidnap the Olympians, especially Athena, who was Zeus¡¯ daughter. It was a well thought-out maneuver, but they had overlooked one situation, which was the relationship between Athena and Lorne. ¡°Very good! Cronus! I didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for you, but you¡¯re actually causing trouble for me?¡± Lorne was extremely furious. Who in the world did not know that Athena was favored by Lorne? But you guys are blatantly slapping me, Lorne, in the face. Are you looking down on me, Cronus?. The more Lorne thought about it, the angrier he got. He directly grabbed Damalis and flew into the sky, quickly flying towards the Titan Court. Damalis felt Lorne¡¯s anger and was so scared that she did not move, allowing Lorne to hold her by the collar. ¡­ On the other side, Oceanus and the others had grabbed Athena and were flying towards the Titan Court. Athena was furious. She felt that she had been very unlucky recently. If not Titans, then it was beasts in Tartarus. She cursed her misfortune. ¡°Oceanus, what are you doing? Do you want to start a new war?¡± Athena had not fully recovered. In addition, the other party was one of the strongest Titans, Oceanus. When she was cornered, they easily captured her within seconds. This made her very helpless. ¡°Hmph! The Olympians threw the first stone! You can only blame your misfortune for this!¡± Oceanus shook his head. The last group of people directly returned to the meeting hall of the Titan Court. The Titans who had long received the news were overjoyed. Only one of them was slightly worried. ¡°Hmph! This time, let¡¯s see how Zeus handles this!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! This is a huge victory!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I heard that Athena is an extremely intelligent goddess! She¡¯s very beautiful! Hehe!¡± The Titans were discussing amongst themselves, and Oceanus and the others were very happy. However, Cronus was still in seclusion to recover his strength and did not appear. ¡°Oceanus, this will hurt Olympus. Let¡¯s see them deal with this!¡± Hyperion was also very excited at this moment. Although Oceanus did not say anything while enjoying everyone¡¯s flattery, the smile on his face conveyed his current mood. ¡°Ahem!¡± One of the Titans interrupted the enthusiasm of the crowd. The Titans were stunned, turning to look at a worried Iapetus. They were all puzzled, especially Oceanus. He asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? My brother, is there a problem?¡± He knew that his brother was very intelligent, and his son Prometheus held the title of Prophet. ¡°Haven¡¯t you investigated the relationship between Athena and Lorne? I heard that Athena was his lover!¡± Iapetus broke the news with a worried face. The Titans froze.. Chapter 24 - Fighting The Titan Court! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation This was especially so for Oceanus. The smile on his face froze as he looked at Iapetus in disbelief. ¡°Brother, is what you said true? Athena is Lorne¡¯s lover?¡± The other party nodded helplessly. ¡°The Olympian gods have long known about this. Did you not pay attention?¡± Oceanus was a little flustered. It was not in his nature to be methodical and careful. The other gods were the same. Their faces were frozen. They were terrified of Lorne, an extremely powerful existence that did not care about the rules, his appearance itself was a challenge to the rules and contempt for them. More importantly, they were powerless against him. Even the fearless Hyperion fell silent when he heard Lorne¡¯s name. His face was filled with fear. ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°Did we really bring calamity upon ourselves?¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the God King? Quickly inform the God King!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Athena loose?¡± The Titans were discussing animatedly, but this time, their faces were filled with fear. ¡°No! We do not let her loose this easily! How would the others view us? They¡¯ll think we cower at the mention of Lorne!¡± Hyperion was the first to jump out to oppose the idea. ¡°Aren¡¯t we actually afraid?¡± ¡°So what if we are? Even if he comes looking for us, so what? You have to know that this is the Divine Court. We can all take him together.¡± Hyperion was filled with excitement when he heard that. Although he could not defeat Lorne, this was their headquarters. He did not believe that Lorne would be able to take them all at once! ¡°Cronus, get out here!¡± At this moment, a terrifying aura came from outside, causing the gods¡¯expressions to change. They flew out and looked at Lorne warily. Oceanus sighed. He had no choice but to stand out. ¡°Lorne, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Cut the crap. Where¡¯s Cronus? Call him out!¡± Lorne glanced at him and said calmly. He did not consider that Oceanus could have been the mastermind behind this abduction. In his eyes, only Cronus could have given out such a command. Oceanus¡¯ expression changed slightly when he heard that. ¡°Lorne, don¡¯t be too arrogant. This is the Titan Court.¡± His tone carried a faint threat. Lorne¡¯s expression did not change. He looked at him directly. ¡°So what?¡± This shocked Damalis, who was behind him. She had never expected the god before her to be so bold. Her face turned slightly pale. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to waste with you. Release Athena and give me an explanation, or else¡­¡± Lorne did not finish speaking, but the gods understood the meaning behind his words. It made them both shocked and furious. Their last hopes had been shattered. Lorne was truly here to find Athena. The God King had specifically given them a single warning before he went into seclusion. He had avoided Lorne whenever they met. He did not want to cause any conflict, but now that they had provoked Lorne, the single rule Cronus had set upon them. ¡°Lorne! There is no Athena here that you are looking for, and this is not a place where you can behave barbarically! I advise you to leave while you can!¡± This time, Hyperion could not hold it in anymore. After hearing Lorne¡¯s words, the fear in his heart disappeared immediately. He spoke bluntly, his tone seeping with hostility. As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Oceanus and the other gods instantly changed. They had originally planned to hand over Athena and reconcile with Lorne, but now that Hyperion had spoken, there was no more turning back. They could not call Hyperion out in front of Lorne. After all, the Titan gods were one. Besides, although they were afraid of Lorne, they had faith in each other. ¡°That¡¯s right! Lorne, if you want to find Athena, you can go to Olympus, not to our Titan Divine Court!¡± Oceanus echoed. ¡°Very good! Looks like you won¡¯t shed tears until you see the coffin!¡± Lorne¡¯s face darkened. He did not expect the Titan gods to be so resolute. He had planned to leave after saving Athena, but now he was angry. He wanted to teach these guys a lesson. After placing Damalis in the distance, he drew his great sword and stared at the Titan gods. ¡°Come on! If that¡¯s the case, then let me find her myself! Where¡¯s Cronus? He won¡¯t come out? He thinks that all of you are enough for me?¡± Lorne¡¯s belittling provoked the Titans. They immediately spread out and surrounded him. The leader was none other than Oceanus. When he saw nine of the strongest Titans with him, he felt slightly more at ease. He looked at Lorne and felt more confident. ¡°Lorne, if you leave now, I can still pretend that nothing happened.¡± ¡°What a joke! Just you?¡± After saying that, Lorne immediately flew over. ¡°Do it!¡± Oceanus immediately gave the order when he saw the situation. Instantly, all kinds of divine power and beams of light appeared in the sky. The entire sky lit up. Lorne remained calm. In the face of the bombardment, he seemed to be at ease. His movements were like a gentleman dancing jazz. In his perception, the attacks seemed to move in water, allowing him to dodge them leisurely. At the same time, he began to counterattack. In a short minute, the Titans had all been wounded. They fell back. They looked at Lorn with shock in their eyes. They had never expected Lorne to be this powerful. None was more shaken than Hyperion. His previous plan had failed. Lorne was too powerful. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Lorne¡¯s tone was filled with disdain and ridicule, making the Titans glare at him awkwardly. It was a slap to the face! They had expected to overwhelm Lorne with numbers, little had they expected the opposite to occur. ¡°Formation!¡± Oceanus snorted coldly and said to the gods. The Titans stood according to the position of a constellation, emitting a strange power at the same time. Lorne narrowed his eyes. He did not expect the Titans to be able to make use of formations, but he was only a little surprised. Then, the second round of battle continued. This time, the Titans produced far more power, but Lorne only became a little more serious. This war also began to spread throughout the entire world. After all, such powerful divine power fluctuations would be sensed by the other gods. Mount Olympus. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Does anyone know?¡± Zeus asked. ¡°The Titans, they¡¯re fighting someone!¡± Poseidon spoke up. ¡°Hmm? Who would have the courage and strength for that?¡± Zeus asked in confusion, but at the same time, a figure appeared in his mind. ¡°It can¡¯t be Lorne, right?¡± Chapter 25 - The Dumbfounded Hades Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The gods all thought of Lorne at the same time. He was the only one who was not afraid of the Titan Court and had the ability to stand against them. ¡°Although Lorne and the Titan Court are not on good terms, they were not this hostile to each other, right? Why would a battle suddenly break out? They seem pretty serious.¡± Hera raised a question. The gods shook their heads when they heard this. ¡°Investigate! Someone! Go now!¡± The gods remained uncertain. Zeus slapped the table and started barking orders. Someone quickly left. The rest could only wait in the palace. Beside them, Hades, whose face was covered in a black robe, had a flash of light in his eyes. He said, ¡°This might be an opportunity!¡± The gods were stunned and looked at Hades in confusion. Ever since Hades came into contact with Typhon¡¯s power and broke through to the True God Realm, he started producing an aura that made the gods very unhappy. Usually, the gods did not have much contact with him. Other than the occasional meeting, he did not have much of a presence. ¡°This is an opportunity to counterattack. Lorne is pressing on them. We don¡¯t know how and why it began, but we can work with him and overthrow the Titan Court together!¡± Hades spoke slowly. He truly felt that this was an opportunity. Not only could they incite a war and increase the strength of Typhon¡¯s doppelganger, but they could also use Lorne¡¯s power to overthrow the Titan Court and hasten his rise to power. When the gods heard this, they were first stunned, then delighted. That¡¯s right! If they went up to Lorne and offered their aid, he had absolutely no reason to refuse. ¡°That¡¯s right! Gather the gods immediately! Let¡¯s go to the Titan Court!¡± Zeus immediately made a decision. This was a rare opportunity! Soon, the Olympian gods received the news and began to head to Mount Olympus. Not long after, the main gods of Olympus were basically all present, but only one person was missing. ¡°Where¡¯s Athena? Why isn¡¯t she here?¡± Zeus looked at the empty and elegant chair, frowning as he asked. The other gods shook their heads, unsure. They all said that they had not seen her for a long time. Only Hades remained silent, laughing coldly in his heart. Athena had been destroyed in Tartarus! Of course, she wouldn¡¯t appear. ¡°Didn¡¯t anyone inform her?¡± Zeus asked the messenger who had received the order once more. ¡°Lord Zeus, our messenger to Athens hasn¡¯t returned yet!¡± Thus, Zeus decided to continue to wait for a period of time. Hades naturally had no qualms about it. Take your time waiting! Soon, the messenger returned. The smug look on Hades¡¯face instantly disappeared, to the point of shock. ¡°Not good! Lady Athena has been captured by the Titans!¡± The messenger was a god. He was not very powerful, but he was extremely fast, comparable to that of a higher-ranked being. Thus, it was ideal for him to be a messenger. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What?¡± The first utterance came from the gods, while the last utterance came from Hades. ¡°What is going on?¡± Zeus was shocked. ¡°Not long ago, four major Titans suddenly descended upon Athens city and captured Lady Athena.¡± The messenger hurriedly told him everything he knew. The gods¡¯expressions changed. Hades¡¯expression also kept changing, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. What exactly was going on? Shouldn¡¯t Athena have died in Tartarus? Why would she appear in Athens? Why would the Titans capture her? Was Typhon playing me for a fool? Damn it! At this moment, Hades even wanted to go straight to Tartarus and confront the beast. ¡°Do you guys think that Athena was taken away by the Titans before Lorne went to them?¡± Hera suddenly asked. When the gods heard it, they recalled the rumors from before and their eyes lit up. ¡°Go, go to the Titan Court!¡± Zeus immediately ordered, and the gods all flew towards the Titan Court. ¡­ At that moment, outside the Titan Court, Lorne was fighting with the Titans. He felt a little helpless. After these Titans formed a formation, their offensive power did not increase much, but they were far harder to strike and wound. It was like fighting a turtled-up enemy. ¡°The great Titans hiding like scared turtles? If you have the ability, come out and fight!¡± With no other choice, Lorne could only mock them, but they did not fall for it. He could not do anything to them, but the Titans could not harm Lorne either. When he saw them remaining silent, Lorne was a little impatient. He was considering whether to transform into his giant form, which was far more powerful. He believed that he could definitely break this turtle shell by then, but his speed and agility would be much slower. The Titans were not pleased with this outcome either. They had never thought that there would be a day when they would be forced to rely on this trump card against a single opponent. ¡°Hmph! If not for the fact that our mightiest aren¡¯t present, you would be torn to shreds already! We¡¯ll see how long you can last there!¡± Hyperion grumbled. That¡¯s right, this great array required all of the twelve main Titans to be able to unleash their full strength, but currently, there were only nine of them. Lorne snickered and could not be bothered with the other party. It was purely a verbal battle. Just as he was getting impatient, a ripple appeared in space-time. Cronus crawled out from within, and the battle between the two immediately separated. ¡°God King!¡± The Titan gods were filled with joy, but Lorne smiled. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to come out!¡± That¡¯s right, this was also because he had yet to return to the giant mode. It was precisely because Cronus had yet to appear. He was afraid that the other party would launch a sneak attack. After all, he was slower as a giant, In addition, he was unsure if Cronus had fully recovered. He was an old fox, so he had to be on guard. Cronus nodded at the Titans, then looked at Lorne. ¡°Lorne, why have you trespassed into My Divine Court?¡± Lorne was stunned, then laughed angrily. ¡°You¡¯re asking me?¡± His words stunned Cronus. He had been in closed-door cultivation to recover his strength until he was attracted by the aura of the battle. Oceanus was a little embarrassed. He transmitted the matter to Cronus, much to his chagrin. Lorne was just as surprised. Cronus was not the one behind this? ¡°How about this! Lorne, I¡¯ll release Athena and we let this matter pass, how about that?¡± Cronus did not want to have a conflict with Lorne before his strength completely recovered, so he planned to take a step back. ¡°God King!¡± The Titans were stunned and somewhat puzzled. The latter waved his hand to shut them up and then looked at Lorne. ¡°Ha! What a joke! You want me to leave just like that? How can there be such a good thing in the world!¡± Lorne sneered and looked at Cronus scathingly.. Chapter 26 - The Clash Against Cronus Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Cronus asked in a deep voice. Lorne was stunned. He had not expected Cronus to be so easy to talk to today, so he spoke in a clear voice, ¡°I want the murderer. He attacked a mortal city! Countless innocent lives were lost! He has to pay the price!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Cronus immediately turned him down without even thinking. ¡°Then there¡¯s nothing left to talk about!¡± Lorne shrugged, indicating that negotiations had fallen through. ¡°Hmph! Lorne, are you really going to make things difficult for us Titans?¡± At that moment, Cronus could no longer suppress his anger. He had already been patient enough with Lorne, but he had not expected the other party to take a mile from the inch he had given. In his mind, those who went against him were all enemies. As long as they did not do as he said, they were all impudent. ¡°You guys are the ones making things difficult for me, aren¡¯t you? Cronus, when I was just only enjoying my newfound freedom, you were the one who went against me during the tripartite meeting! From the beginning to the end, it was all you guys who wanted to make things difficult for me, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Lorne had not expected this guy to be so shameless. He was also a little angry. Cronus did not say anything when he heard that. He was used to being overbearing, but he did not quite know how to handle his own medicine when it was given to him, He took a deep breath and told himself to put the overall situation first. He had to bear with it for a while. After he recovered his strength, he would look for Lorne to settle the score. At that time, he would definitely cut him into a thousand pieces! After comforting himself, he looked at Lorne and said, ¡°Other than this matter, you can state the other conditions!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Lorne was immediately filled with vigilance when he saw the situation. If this guy had turned hostile earlier, he would not have been so polite. This old thing must be planning something in his heart. He could not play into his hands. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to hand over the murderer, then you can take my blow for him! After all, there must be an explanation for this matter! Otherwise, there¡¯s really nothing to talk about!¡± Lorne thought for a moment and said. He wanted to test the true strength of this guy, Cronus, and just how much he had recovered. ¡°No! The God King does not need to stoop to this fool¡¯s level. Let¡¯s take him down together!¡± Hyperion was the first to jump out to object. Lorne was not in a hurry either, quietly watching Cronus. Cronus thought for a moment, waved at Hyperion, and looked at Lorne. ¡°Alright! I agree!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Thus, the two of them flew directly into outer space. At their level of strength, the high sky could no longer withstand their battles. The space was vast and boundless. Other than the continent under their feet, which had light, everything else was empty. It emitted a gray, dark light. There was no sound at all. It was so quiet that it was eerie. At that moment, the two deities were separated by a space between them. Lorne had also turned serious at that moment. He circulated all the power in his body at full strength and then applied them to the divine sword. On the other side, Cronus watched him guardedly. He felt some headache coming his way. After this clash, he would probably have to collect faith again. He knew that Lorne was at the True God realm, but he had agreed. He relied on the power of faith to temporarily elevate his powers to the True God realm. At the same time, he added mass in front of the space before him. In his vision, Lorne did not seem that far, but the space had actually expanded a vast distance. He controlled space itself¡­ naturally, he could distort the distance between them. He did not stop there. He increased the defensive power of his body to the extreme. The power of faith spread throughout his body. Together with his space, he was rather confident of himself. He looked at Lorne. ¡°Come!¡± ¡°As you wish!¡± Lorne¡¯s spirit, energy, and spirit were all gathered in the sword. His divine power was unleashed. This sword was Lorne¡¯s strongest attack in the mythical world. Even his giant mode would struggle to match it. This sword directly surpassed the speed of light, warped space-time, and shattered space. The confidence that Cronus had before had completely disappeared. At that moment, his face was replaced by shock, awe, and fear! At that moment, he actually sensed death heading his way. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and all the power in his core surged out. He did not dare to hold anything back, and he did not once stop adding space before himself, hoping to sap the sword of its energy. In a short 0.1 millisecond, Cronus had already created hundreds of millions of kilometers of space, but Lorne¡¯s sword directly cut across the space. ¡°Defend me!¡± Cronus shouted and the Divine King Scepter instantly appeared in front of him. Endless power erupted. When the two collided, a light comparable to the sun was produced. All the gods in the world raised their heads, the Primordials all had solemn expressions at that moment. They were extremely shaken. After the light, there was nothing. Lorne stood quietly in a corner with his sword in his hand. He looked forward. Suddenly, there was a ripple in space. Cronus came out of his dimensional subspace in a sorry state. He looked very pale. Although he had survived Lorne¡¯s sword, he was badly injured. ¡°Cough cough! Good move!¡± He looked at Lorne with fear in his eyes. He was still a little afraid when he recalled the scene from before. He had a bad feeling when the sword had torn through space itself. After blocking it for a while, he had directly entered the dimensional space. However, he did not expect the sword to actually follow him in. Therefore, he could only compress space itself to unimaginable levels. It finally crushed the power, but he was still heavily injured. There was not a trace of the power of faith left in him. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then this matter is over!¡± Lorne was a little surprised. He had not expected Cronus to actually survive, so he spoke slowly. The two returned to the Titan Court. ¡°Bring Athena over!¡± Cronus ordered, his face stoic. They did not dare to hesitate and quickly brought Athena over. After handing her over to Lorne, the latter nodded and left without saying a word. Athena, on the other hand, was touched and embarrassed. She had just been saved by Lorne and was captured again in the blink of an eye. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lorne asked with concern. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m fine!¡± Athena shook her head. ¡°Then come back to the Alps with me!¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Okay!¡± Athena was stunned at first, then she was shy, and then she nodded in agreement. She knew what Lorne meant. ¡°Okay!¡± Lorne was overjoyed when he heard this. He helped her to Damalis¡¯ side and left with the two of them. The Olympians finally arrived. They were all stunned when they saw Lorne.. Chapter 27 - Zeus’ Plan! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zeus and the other Olympians had not expected to be late to the show. The fight had already ended. ¡°Athena, are you alright?¡± Hera stepped forward and asked Athena, who was being supported by Lorne. Athena shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Lorne said, ¡°Everyone, if there¡¯s nothing else, please make way!¡± Zeus and the others were at a loss. They looked towards Hades and saw that his expression was extremely ugly. The gods thought that it was because they had been too late. ¡°Lorne, I heard that the Titan Court is extremely shameless. They actually joined forces to fight you alone. Do you want to consider joining forces with us? We are here to help you!¡± Hades took a step forward and asked in a deep voice. ¡°That¡¯s right! Lorne, we can join forces to overthrow the Titan Court!¡± At this time, Zeus also echoed. This was a rare opportunity, and he did not want to give it up. ¡°No need!¡±Lorn rejected without hesitation. Did he really think that he did not know their thoughts and plans? They just wanted to drag him into the water and become a free mercenary. Hera also stood up. ¡°Even if you don¡¯t want to join forces, they are already picking on you.¡± Lorne laughed when he heard that. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have already hurt them in return! There¡¯s no need for you to worry!¡± Zeus was a little unwilling to simply let the two of them slip by. He wanted to persuade them once again, but when Lorne¡¯s gaze swept over him, he instantly shut his mouth. Zeus and the others stopped as they watched them leave. ¡°What should we do now? Lorne has left!¡± ¡°Should we retreat too?¡± ¡°We¡¯re already here! Should we just leave?¡± Someone was unwilling. ¡°Should we charge them? Lorne might have injured them badly?¡± The gods discussed for a moment before deciding to go up and take a look. If there was an advantage, they would take action. Thus, the group directly went up to the gate of the Titan Temple. At this moment, Cronus and the others had not left yet. When they saw Zeus and the other Olympian gods, they all revealed wary expressions. ¡°Zeus? What are you all doing here?¡± Cronus stared at Zeus and asked with a dark expression. Zeus did not reply. Instead, he paid attention to the Titan gods, wanting to see through any possible illusions. Seeing that they were all genuinely wounded greatly pleased him. After gaining confidence, he said, ¡°Cronus, you actually tore up the agreement and kidnapped an Olympian. What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°What a joke. Zeus, which eye of yours saw the Titan Court kidnap Athena?¡± At that moment, Oceanus could not help but mock him. Now that Lorne had left, he did not fear Zeus and the others at all, instead, his accumulated anger was directed at Zeus. ¡°Without any evidence, you dare to barge into the Titan Court? It seems that you are preparing to start a war with us?¡± With that said, the Titans began to attack Zeus. ¡°You¡­¡± Zeus had not expected the other party to be so brash. Looking at their aura, he was a little puzzled. Weren¡¯t they injured? Were they looking down on me? Meanwhile, the other Olympians were also under attack. At that moment, the tense and solemn atmosphere instantly erupted. Finally, Cronus suddenly opened his mouth and said, ¡°Zeus, we have already discussed this matter with Lorne. So, if you want to use Athena as an excuse, there¡¯s no need for that. You can go and look for Lorne. If you want to start a war, then come! What does our Titan race need to fear?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the Titans¡¯ morale soared. On the other hand, Zeus and the others were somewhat hesitant. ¡°Hmph! Cronus, just you wait!¡± Zeus intended to break off and leave. This was not yet the time to trigger a large-scale conflict. However, his retreat left the Olympians disappointed. At the last moment, he was still afraid. He was afraid that if they started a war now, Cronus would finally gain the upperhand and banish them to the abyss. He wanted to wait until he was at the True God level before starting a war. He did not tell anyone that his strength had already reached the peak of the God level. He was just a little bit away from breaking through to the True God level. When that happened, he would be able to regain his prestige. Thus, the Olympians came and left in a hurry. In the meeting Palace of the Titan Court, Cronus was sitting at the head of the table with a pale face. The other Titan gods were extremely worried. They had not expected their powerful God-King to be this wounded. This was especially so for Oceanus. His face was filled with self-blame. If he had not decided to go after Athena and provoke Lorne, the God-King would not have been injured. As if he could see through Oceanus¡¯ self-blame, Cronus waved his hand to show that he did not mind. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I will be able to recover soon. This time, I truly know Lorne¡¯s strength. He is very powerful, but it would not be an impossible fight for us. ¡°You guys must also strengthen your training and work hard to increase your strength. I hope that when I come out of seclusion next time, I will find all of you stronger!¡± ¡°Please rest assured, God-King!¡± The Titans said in unison when they heard this. ¡°Good! Oceanus, you will still be commanding the domestic war against Olympus. I believe that you will leave them flustered!¡± After that, Cronus looked at Oceanus and said. ¡°Rest assured, God-King. While you are in seclusion, Zeus and the others would be too busy with us to pay attention to you.¡± Oceanus said firmly. Then, Cronus resumed his seclusion. This time, he would not come out until he recovered his strength! ¡­ On the other side of Mount Olympus, the atmosphere was also somewhat silent, especially Hera. She could not understand why Zeus, who was always so gallant, would cower in front of the Titans. This was something she could not understand. ¡°Alright, after this, the conflict between us will only intensify. Pass down the order, we must increase our strength as soon as possible. Soon, we will welcome the decisive battle with the Titan Court!¡± Zeus met everyone¡¯s gazes. He was very clear about it, but he did not explain himself in order to keep it a secret. Although he knew that his prestige would suffer a blow, he believed that after he breaks through to the True God realm, he would return. Hades, on the other hand, was somewhat delighted. He looked at Zeus and could not help but shake his head. Foolish little brother, it seems that it won¡¯t be long before your prestige will drop to the dirt. That would be the best time for me to reveal my strength. Then, as long as I defeat the Titans myself, the Olympus Gods will appoint me as the new God-King. However, he did not feel pleased for long before he sank down. He thought of Athena, which made him very uneasy. He decided to meet Typhon later and find out the truth. ¡­ Lorne, naturally, ignored the reactions of both parties. He brought Athena and Damalis back to the Alps. When their gazes fell upon the verdant spring sky and the blooming flowers, the two of them felt very relaxed and even happy, especially so for Damalis. She had never seen such a beautiful place. It was simply a gift from nature, as expected of the residence of a god. Lorne said to Damalis. ¡°I¡¯m still lacking a maid. Stay if you please. If not, I¡¯ll send you back! Don¡¯t worry!¡± He had originally wanted to hand Damalis over to Athena, but he had not expected this current turn of events.. Chapter 28 - The Exasperated Hades! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Now that Athena would be staying with him, he gave Damalis a choice. Damalis was stunned. Lorne looked dead serious. She never thought that she would be granted such an opportunity! Yes, after seeing Lorne¡¯s power, she was filled with faith in him. Initially, she thought that Lorne would send her back to the human city-state, but she did not expect him to offer her such a chance. When she was in the Titan Court, she knew that Lorne was no simple deity. He was definitely a powerful existence among the gods! Even an ordinary God was an existence that she could not reach. Now, such a being had given her a chance, a chance to ascend to the heavens in a single step. She was completely stunned. ¡°Oh? You don¡¯t want to? Fine, I¡¯ll send you back later!¡± Lorne saw her stay where she was and thought that she was unwilling, so he did not intend to her. After all, she was a princess in the human city-state. Treating her as a maid may be too much, after all. ¡°No, that¡¯s not it!¡± Damalis heard Lorne¡¯s words and immediately became anxious. She hurriedly said, ¡°Great God, I¡¯m willing. Damalis is willing to serve the gods!¡± ¡°Good! From now on, you¡¯ll be my maid! Your task is to take care of the flowers and trees outside. At the same time, you¡¯ll also take care of my daily life!¡± Lorne did not expect her to agree, so he said with a smile. ¡°Yes! Lord God.¡± Damalis truly liked the scenery here. Now that she was asked to take care of this place, she was more than willing! Anyway, there was no longer any place in the human city-states that she could stay in. After Lorn gave a few instructions to her, he went to Athena¡¯s side and prepared to continue healing her. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your luck to be this rotten! Why are there people trying to kill you everywhere!¡± When he looked upon the depressed Athena, Lorne was slightly amused and pinched her fair cheeks. The latter was stunned, and then her face turned red. She had not expected Lorne to touch her. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know either!¡± ¡°Okay, you can stay here from now on!¡± Lorne then began to heal her wounds. Three days later, Athena¡¯s pale and injured face also returned to its rosy state. ¡°Thank you, Lorne!¡± Athena hesitated for a moment, stood up and kissed Lorne, sincerely thanking him. Loen did not expect Athena to be so proactive, and then he reacted with a bright smile. ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± ¡­ Just as Lorne and Athena¡¯s relationship heated up, a conversation was being carried out in a dark space. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is Athena fine? Do you know that you almost scared me to death?¡± ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m not your subordinate. Watch your tone! Hades!¡± ¡°But why didn¡¯t you take care of Athena? If she were to leak the news about you and me, would you actually be pleased with that?¡± Hades looked at indifferent Typhon. He was very angry. Typhon looked at the angry Hades in disdain. ¡°Hmph! She merely tailed you! How would she figure it all out? At most, she would be suspicious. For an Olympian, you lack a calm heart!¡± In his opinion, Hades was making a mountain out of a molehill over this matter. Hades looked at the other party¡¯s contemptuous gaze and grew even more furious. ¡°What do you know! Athena isn¡¯t an ordinary person! What exactly happens that you actually let Athena off? You don¡¯t even seem concerned about my safety. This is the end of our partnership!¡± Typhon finally grew furious. ¡°You come here asking what happened! If you didn¡¯t hide anything from me, I wouldn¡¯t have failed!¡± ¡°Huh? What happened?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡±! That day, I sent tens of thousands of magical beasts to kill Athena. Just as I was about to succeed, a powerful god suddenly appeared and saved her! I¡¯ll ask you in turn now, who is that guy? He is so powerful, and you never cared to mention him to me!¡± When Typhon thought of this, he looked at Hades with extreme anger. ¡°What?¡± Hades was surprised. Someone had saved her? Could it be him! ¡°It¡¯s Lorne! It must be him! Damn it, he ruined my big plan again!¡± Hades gritted his teeth. ¡°Oh? Who Is It? It sounds like he has often ruined your plans?¡± Typhon asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s one of your brothers, but he¡¯s so much more fortunate than you!¡± Hades had already returned to normal. ¡°Oh?¡± Typhon became even more interested. ¡°He used to be the Hecatoncheires. He was imprisoned in Hell by Uranus. You should know about it, but then something happened. Some mutation occurred. The three fused into an individual. As if they made up for each other¡¯s imperfections, he became a perfect being. He calls himself Lorne, and he¡¯s very powerful.¡± ¡°Him!¡± Typhon instantly remembered. That guy¡¯s aura had been somewhat familiar. ¡°That¡¯s right! This guy always ruins my plans. We were going to start a new war, but he ruined that too! How frustrating!¡± ¡°Alright, this is not as severe as I thought. Our plan proceeds. Wait for my Avatar, and I¡¯ll help you take revenge. I¡¯ll personally capture him!¡± Typhon looked at Hades, who had fallen into paranoia, and reminded him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! After I completely absorb the Darkness Crystal, I¡¯ll personally defeat him!¡± Hades bore a lot of animosity towards Lorne. After the two of them exchanged a few more words, Hades left. Typhon fell deep in thought while staring in the direction where Hades had disappeared. ¡°Lorne? Hecatoncheires? Interesting! It seems that the world outside is more interesting than I imagined. It seems that I have to speed up the plan. Hades, that idiot, no! I have to find another being to cooperate with!¡± After saying that, Typhon disappeared from where he was. ¡­ Several months passed. Athena and Lorne also lived together without any shame or haste. They were very happy. Another morning had passed, and Athena decided that she could no longer indulge herself in such a peaceful existence without a care for her people, so she went to Lorne. ¡°Dear Lorne, I want to return to Athens, the people there need me!¡± Lorne heard this and recalled the loyalty of the humans in Athens to Athena that day. He was touched, and with the thoughts of the humans in his previous life¡­ he decided, ¡°Sure! How about this? I¡¯ll go with you and rebuild Athens!¡± Then, he quickly told Athena about what happened in Athens that day and agreed. ¡°Really!¡± Athena was overjoyed. She did not expect Lorn to be so good to her, so she offered her a kiss. The kiss lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. Lorne was a little unhappy to see it end, which embarrassed Athena. After leaving some instructions to Damalis, the two of them disappeared, leaving behind an envious Damalis. Having spent months with them, she had become a very proficient maid.. Chapter 29 - Rebuilding Athens! Behemoth! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Athens was located on a mountain range in the Aegean Sea. It was on extremely high ground, and with the convenience of sea transportation, it had once become one of the most prosperous city-states of mankind. However, due to the conflict between gods a few months ago, the prosperous Athens city had become a pile of ruins, and there had been countless deaths and injuries. A few months later, they still had not finished cleaning up the ruins, as a result, the merchants, travelers, and ships had all bypassed this place. The once-bustling city of Athens had instantly fallen into a barren land. The most important thing was that the Patron Goddess of the city-state of Athens had been taken away, leaving the merchants insecure. After all, in this world where the gods lived, every city-state had their own guardian deity. The citizens of Athens had low expectations of Athena returning. Their faces had always been filled with numbness and bitterness. The nobles who had the capabilities had long left this place, the rest were commoners who were unable to travel long distances to other cities. But on this day, they welcomed a new life. They saw two gods appear in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was their Patron Goddess, Athena. The one beside her was also the male god they had met previously. He had truly saved Athena. ¡°Oh Goddess! It¡¯s Athena!¡± ¡°Oh Great Goddess! You¡¯ve really appeared! You¡¯ve really been saved!¡± ¡°We¡¯re saved!¡± ¡°Athena¡¯s back!¡± ¡­ Instantly, all sorts of cheers came from all directions, making Athena a little excited. She took a step forward and said, ¡°Well met again! I¡¯m back!¡± After saying that, Athena waved her hand, and the debris that had been troubling the humans instantly disappeared. In its place was a newly built stone city. The humans below instantly cheered. Their smiles and joy infected Lorne, making him smile knowingly. Athena then invited Lorne and returned to her own palace. There was still some joy in revisiting Athena¡¯s old place. Just as Lorne was about to say something, a large milky-white light flew in and fused directly into Athena¡¯s body. The sudden change was not only a surprise to Athena. Even Lorne was puzzled. Lorne used his divine power to investigate the changes happening in Athena¡¯s body. However, he could not sense anything. If anything, she seemed to be gaining power. He started pondering. Milky White? Benefits? Lorn thought about it in detail. When he saw that Athena¡¯s eyes were tightly shut, and the aura on her body slowly began to grow, his eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°Could this be the legendary power of Faith?¡± At that moment, the milky white spots of light were completely absorbed by Athena. She slowly opened her eyes with a face full of joy. ¡°Lorn, My Divine Spark has broken through to the peak of godhood!¡± She was like a little girl who had just received her beloved toy, showing off to her parents. Her eyes were smiling like crescent moons. Lorne felt it for a moment. It was indeed the aura of a peak sovereign. ¡°This should be the power of faith, right?¡± ¡°Right! Lorne, how did you know?¡±Athena was rather surprised. Her little mouth was slightly open, and she looked rather cute. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to obtain the power of faith. It seems that the humans of Athens gave it to you! And it¡¯s very pure. Only truly devout followers could produce such faith,¡± Lorne guessed. Lorne¡¯s guess stunned Athena, and then she took the lead. ¡°That¡¯s right! After I absorbed it, I got to know their thoughts. They were all given to me by the citizens of Athens!¡± Athena said with a smile. ¡°This power of faith is really magical. It gave you so much power!¡± Lorne sighed. He immediately thought of Cronus. That guy could also absorb the power of faith. Previously, this guy had been so tolerant to him and seemed difficult to anger.., it seemed that he planned to find him after he recovered his strength. Moreover, the power of faith was so magical that Cronus recovered faster than he had expected. He had almost been fooled by this guy again. He looked up at Athena. ¡°By the way, I heard that the increase in strength of the power of faith is unstable. Cronus also used the power of faith to increase his strength. Now, you can see that his strength is weaker by more than one level. This is because there is a problem with the source of his power of faith. Don¡¯t you have this feeling?¡± Athena was stunned. She quickly checked her body and shook her head. ¡°No!¡± ¡°It seems like only truly sincere worship, not one forced out of fear does the trick!¡± Lorne said again after thinking for a while. The two discussed the power of faith for a while. Lorne asked her if she wanted to continue using the power of faith to increase her strength. He had an idea. However, Athena thought about it and refused. After all, she had learned from Cronus¡¯ mistakes. She did not want to be like that guy. Lorne did not pursue the matter. After all, he was very confident in his own strength. Even if Cronus recovered his strength, it was impossible for him to defeat him. Moreover, it was not as if he did not have a way to quickly increase his strength. It was just that he did not want to use it. The two of them stayed in the city-state for a few more months. During these few months, the news of Athena¡¯s return spread to many nearby city-states. The city of Athens, which had a geographical advantage, was once again prosperous, even moreso than before. All of this was also related to Lorne. He had passed a lot of knowledge from his previous life to Athena, and then Athena had passed it on to the city-state humans. As a result, she had obtained some more pure faith, which made her somewhat helpless. She originally did not want to use the power of faith to increase her strength, but she had no power to stop it. If Cronus heard this, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood. He had carefully collected the power of faith, and it had been most arduous. In the end, the power of faith had hidden dangers of its own, and he did not achieve the pure form of it. One morning, Lorne was teaching the humans how to grow crops like wheat with Athena. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He sensed countless violent auras rushing over, and he did not have time to explain before rushing into the sky, flying towards the beach. Athena followed closely behind him and soon arrived at the beach. Athena asked in confusion, ¡°Why¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned because countless deep-sea Behemoths had suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance. Huge waves surged into the sky like locusts. ¡°Is this even natural?¡± Lorn took a deep breath and asked with a certain tone. He had no time to think and was ready to make his move. Otherwise, once they reached the city on the shore, all the humans would perish. Lorn instantly summoned his divine sword and stood in the air. He unleashed his aura and instantly suppressed the beasts. His power quickly covered the surrounding sea. Instantly, countless Behemoths were slain.. Chapter 30 - The Beginning And The End Of The Behemoth Tide! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Behemoths did not seem afraid of death as they continued to throw themselves at the shoreline. Lorne¡¯s expression changed. The divine sword in his hand immediately emitted a bright light as divine power flowed through the sword and gently descended. In an instant, an invisible sword aura flew out with a zing, as if it was a scythe reaping across a field. Woosh!!! Countless monsters were cut into two halves, and the green liquid instantly corroded the nearby waters. Lorn released seven or eight sword auras in a row to completely eliminate the wave of monsters. He glanced around and landed beside Athena, his face slightly pale. However, there was not a hint of joy on his face. Instead, he was very solemn. ¡°It seems that something has happened in the deep sea! This is not a natural calamity. Many coastal cities have to be experiencing the same thing!¡± Naturally, Athena understood. Her eyes were filled with shock. ¡°No, I have to report this to Olympus! I need Zeus and the others to come and hold them back!¡± Athena said worriedly. ¡°That¡¯s right! Go on ahead! I will watch over this place for you!¡± Lorne understood Athena¡¯s thoughts and smiled lightly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll leave first!¡± Athena knew that time was paramount. She did not stand on ceremony with Lorne and quickly vanished from the spot. Lorne stood alone on the sea, taking in the thick smell of blood. He did not speak, but looked into the distance with a deep gaze. A few days had passed. Although the tide had ebbed by only the slightest, hundreds of monsters still appeared from time to time. Lorne dealt with them effortlessly. On one particular wave, a creature made of ocean elements appeared from the bottom of the sea. Lorne was stunned by the familiar divine power. ¡°You?¡± Lorne was a little surprised when he saw who it was. ¡°That¡¯s right! Lorne, long time no see! I¡¯ve heard of your great feats from the deep sea. You single-handedly fought your way to the Titan Court. You really got riled up for your beauty!¡± A sultry voice reached him with a hint of warmth and gentleness. ¡°Well, why are you looking for me?¡± Lorne waved his hand and asked directly. Aphrodite immediately put away her charming expression when she heard Lorne¡¯s words and revealed a rarely seen serious expression. ¡°Lorne, something big has happened. I¡¯m sure you know that the monster tide in the deep sea has swept across the land, right?¡± ¡°Yes! What¡¯s going on? Do you know the reason?¡± Lorne asked seriously as well. ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m here to seek your help on behalf of my brother Pontus!¡± Aphrodite looked at Lorne and explained, ¡°My brother, as the God of the Sea, has always stayed in the deep sea because he has constantly been suppressing a portal, one that leads to the core of the Earth.¡± ¡°The core of the earth?¡± Lorne was stunned. What did this mean? There was no such mention in the myths he knew? It seemed that his appearance had already caused changes in the Greek myths. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the entrance to the core of the Earth! It is said that there is another core of the Earth in our world. That place has existed since the birth of the world. Many mutated monsters live there. Their bodies are terrifying, almost mindless beings, and they were born with desires for nothing but bloodlust and brutality. Therefore, the God of Creation used his supreme divine power to seal this entrance and placed it at the bottom of the deep sea under the watch of Pontus! ¡°Ever since my brother was in charge, no monster had ever broken through the seal. But this time, for some unknown reason, the seal suddenly gave way, and several Behemoths appeared! They worked together to force my brother to flee, and then they streamed out.¡± Aphrodite slowly told him what had happened, causing Lorne to frown. Then why was it not recorded in the myths and legends of his previous life? Little did he know that it was because he had changed the course of the myths. ¡°Are those Behemoths very powerful?¡± Lorne was a little curious. After all, Pontus was almost as powerful as himself! Even he would not be sure of the outcome if they fought! ¡°No, those Behemoths are incredibly wise. Four of them joined hands to launch a sneak attack, defeating my brother and breaking the seal!¡± ¡°Is that so! Then let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± Lorne was now interested as well. He was prepared to follow Aphrodite to take a look. The sooner they dealt with the tide, the less damage they would suffer. Thus, he left the divine sword above the city of Athens, leaving it to protect the humans. In any case, he was still powerful without it. ¡­ Speaking of which, Athena flew at high speed from the city of Athens. It did not take long before she reached Mount Olympus, instantly gathering the attention of a few main gods. At this moment, Hera looked at Athena and asked in puzzlement, ¡°What happened, Athena? What is so urgent?¡± ¡°Something big has happened! Beasts are appearing in the deep sea, attacking the coastline. Currently, many of the city-states near the sea have been wiped out!¡± Athena immediately explained the matter quickly, causing the gods to be greatly shocked. They had yet to receive any news. ¡°We should hurry! The mortals need saving!¡± The gods were a little hesitant when they heard this. After all, the Titans were giving them more and more pressure. At such a juncture, they did not dare to be distracted, or they would be in great danger. ¡°Athena, we truly wish to help! But our current situation is very unfavorable. The Titans are suppressing us Olympians very badly!¡± Hera was also a little hesitant at this time. ¡°Of course, if you can persuade Lorne to join us, we will immediately take action!¡± After hearing Hera¡¯s words, Athena was stunned. She never thought that Hera would actually make such a request. As gods, shouldn¡¯t they resist the crisis? At this moment, she felt that Hera had changed. ¡°Hera, you¡¯ve changed! Are we gods not responsible for the lives of all mortals? As for Lorne, that is his decision to make, not mine. Goodbye!¡± After saying that, Athena directly left the Mountain. After she left, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. Hera laughed bitterly and looked at the gods. ¡°What do you guys say about this? Are you going or not?¡± Right now, Zeus was in seclusion, Hades was alone, and there were still a few main gods who were not here. Hera held the highest rank. ¡°Go! Athena is right! Fulfill our responsibility as gods!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If we don¡¯t go, what¡¯s the difference between us and the Titan Court?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Many city-states still serve us, yet we are not moving to save them.. This is not us!¡± Chapter 31 - You Should Not Be In This World! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Olympians were still young gods after all. The hot blood in their hearts had never disappeared. This was also the difference between them and the Titan Court. It was also the main reason why they were able to overthrow the Titans in the myths of their previous lives. At that moment, one of the three brothers, Poseidon, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly sensed an opportunity. His heart trembled. ¡°That¡¯s right! The deep sea. Everyone, let¡¯s go!¡± Thus, the Olympians set off one after another. They flew along the area where the beasts had erupted, saving lives and killing whatever they could. The Titans were not as concerned about the Olympians. Oceanus was even prepared to launch a sneak attack on Mount Olympus. After all, that place was deserted. However, the neutral Primordials stood before them. They directly announced that if the Titan Court dared to attack Olympus before the disaster was averted, they would take the sides of the Olympians. Oceanus rubbed his nose awkwardly, giving up on the idea. The Olympians gained favor in this disaster, especially Athena. If it were not for her righteous words, countless creatures would have died. ¡­ As Athena fought on, Lorne met up with Pontus. The older god¡¯s aura was a little frazzled at the moment, and he was very happy to see Lorne. ¡°Lorne, thank you for coming!¡± ¡°It¡¯s my duty, but you¡¯re actually injured quite badly. Looks like those guys are quite strong!¡± Lorne smiled as he raised his wine glass and drank a mouthful of fruit wine. Then, he clicked his tongue in wonder. Pontus laughed bitterly. ¡°Those damned reptiles actually came at me from all sides. While I was distracted, they broke the seal, causing this disaster! ¡°Sigh! After this, I¡¯ll have to apologize to Gaia! ¡°I invited you here this time to help me restrain those Behemoths. I will have to apply a new seal, or else those monsters will appear endlessly, and I won¡¯t be able to kill them all!¡± Lorne thought for a moment and agreed. He definitely did not agree because Aphrodite was looking at him with a face full of hope and affection. He, Lorne, was taking action for the sake of all living things in the world! However, when Aphrodite heard that he agreed, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. The girl¡¯s face was filled with joy. ¡°That¡¯s great! With you here, I can rest assured!¡± Pontos was also happy. He had personally experienced Lorne¡¯s strength. Lorne was stronger than him, so he was very relieved. Therefore, the three of them discussed for a long time and discussed the details of this operation. ¡­ In the depths of hell, Hades looked at Typhon in shock. ¡°You planned this? Where did you find so many monsters? Do you know how many lives were lost because of this?¡± Hades questioned Typhon with anger and shock. Typhon snorted, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for me to report this to you, right? Remember, we¡¯re just working together!¡± He was getting more and more displeased with Hades. In a word, he was extremely displeased about being asked to do nothing. Since that was the case, he might as well find another partner. Just like the calamity this time, he was very satisfied with the massacre it had caused. Although the quality was very low, he had gained enough power to produce one-third of his avatar. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve come to ask you for a favor this time!¡± ¡°What favor?¡± Hades was much more honest now. ¡°Pontus will definitely attempt to re-seal the entrance. Stop him!¡± Hades was indeed very shocked. This was his first time learning that there was an entrance to the core of the Earth, and that it was in the deep sea. Most importantly, Pontus was guarding it, and even then Typhon had broken through. He saw Typhon¡¯s strength in a new light, and he was very afraid. But this time, he knew that he could not refuse. After pondering for a moment, Hades said in a deep voice, ¡°Okay! But in the future, you must tell me of your plans!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! This was just an accident!¡± Typhon was very happy, and he quickly reassured Hades. Then, the two of them exchanged a few more words before separating. ¡­ The bottom of the sea had always been something that countless people yearned for because it was filled with mystery. At that moment, in the middle of the deep sea, it was covered by tens of thousands of meters of seawater. The bottom was very deep and dark, and not a single ray of sunlight could shine through, Compared to the past, the originally quiet bottom of the sea was now very lively. All kinds of strange-looking creatures filled the surroundings. Suddenly, three uninvited guests appeared among the many monsters. They stood on a huge rock at the bottom of the sea and swaggered about, but the monsters were indifferent, or rather, they did not see them. It was Lorne, Pontus, and Aphrodite. ¡°Lorne, that¡¯s the entrance to the core world.¡± Lorne looked in the direction that Pontus was pointing at. It was a huge whirlpool that appeared counter-clockwise, with an endless stream of monsters crawling out of it. Pontus continued, ¡°The four Behemoths should have returned to the core world, but as long as I head down to seal the whirlpool, they will immediately appear. Moreover, I don¡¯t know how many more Behemoths lurk in the core world. After all, with the intelligence they displayed, no one can be sure that there are no more waiting in the shadows.¡± Pontus told Lorne the truth, and his tone was full of uncertainty. Lorne nodded after hearing this. He looked at the vortex and thought for a moment. ¡°No problem! According to your description, as long as there are less than ten of them. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem!¡± Lorne had a full understanding of his own strength. Those Behemoths were just slightly beneath the level of a True God. Pontos became serious when he saw this. ¡°Then do it?¡± He needed ten minutes to re-seal the entrance gap, which meant that Lorne had to hold on for ten minutes. Lorne licked the corner of his mouth. Without saying anything, he immediately appeared at the portal, causing the roars of countless monsters. All of them charged towards Lorne without fear of death. Lorne pushed all the way, and the broken limbs of all kinds of monsters flew in all directions, directly reaching the whirlpool. He stepped on it, and instantly, the whirlpool trembled. Immediately after, two huge beasts flew out. The aura on their bodies was different from the other monsters, and it was obvious that they were Behemoths. The two beasts showed an intelligent look. They looked at Lorne and were stunned for a moment, then they let out a series of hisses, as if they were sending a message. Not long after, two more Behemoths flew out. They immediately looked at Lorne fiercely, and a roar seemed to be telling Lorne to leave. Lorne looked a little curious. These Behemoths truly seemed intelligent! Lorne started taking action. The surrounding seawater was compressed and retreated, forming a vacuum around Lorne. ¡°Come on, you shouldn¡¯t be in this world!¡± Lorne said calmly Chapter 32 - Unexpected Change! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Behemoths understood Lorne¡¯s intention even though they did not understand him. They were instantly enraged. They roared and instantly surrounded Lorne. Lorne felt that ever since he came to the mythical world, he always had to fight outnumbered. He was a little weary of it. Where is the chivalry of ancient times? Where¡¯s good sportsmanship? Suppressing these thoughts, Lorne took on the four Behemoths and shouted, ¡°Pontus, hurry up and do it!¡± After saying that, the four Behemoths were stunned and saw a familiar figure appear in the dark. It was Pontus. As the saying goes, when enemies met, their eyes turn red. The four Behemoths clamored and wanted to give up Lorne and turn to attack Pontus. However, Lorne did not give them the chance. He teleported in front of the four Behemoths and blocked their path. Then, he clenched his fists and started a hand-to-hand fight with the four Behmoths. Bang! Bang! Bang! His fists slammed against their flesh. One god fighting against four Behemoths. Even so, Lorne held his ground well. If anything, the four Behemoths were taking turns to reel from aftershocks. Since he appeared, he never had the opportunity to fight like this. It made him very excited. The four Behemoths were unhappy. They did not expect Lorne to be so powerful. Pontus alone had given them enough trouble. In addition to that, Pontus had begun to re-seal the entrance, which made them very anxious. Therefore, they began to scream again. Lorne sensed that they were summoning their teammates, so he did not stop them. As expected, not long after, two more Behemoths slipped out from the vortex. They seemed to have appeared in the world for the first time. They looked around curiously and then joined the battle under the urging of their four teammates. ¡°Good timing!¡± Lorne was not afraid at all. The power in his hands only intensified. The nature of his power always favored bruteforce over anything else. Pontus looked on as Lorne fought. He did not have time to sigh and began to seal the portal. ¡­ Not far from them, a black shadow quietly watched the battle in the distance without moving. When he saw that Lorne standing against six Behemoths alone, he revealed a shocked expression. His face was full of fear and anger. He was Hades. After agreeing to Typhon¡¯s request, he had been hiding here in secret. His entire body was covered in a black robe. When he saw that Pontus was about to complete the seal, he decided to make his move. Pontus had no idea that there was someone hiding behind him. Hence, after Hades released an energy light ball in his direction, he could not free his hands and worked harder on the sealing. Just as he was about to brace for the impact, Aphrodite appeared and cast a blue light screen in front of Pontus. Boom! The energy ball hit the light screen, creating bubbles on the seabed. Lorne, who was paying close attention, was shocked when he saw the attack breaking through. However, he was stopped by the six Behemoths and could not react in time. When Aphrodite intensified her barrier and nullified the attack, he let out a sigh of relief. Hades had not expected anyone to stop him, either. However, after seeing Aphrodite reeling from the impact, he let out a cackle. ¡°You dare to stop me with so little power?¡± ¡°Hmph! Who are you?¡± Aphrodite saw that her opponent was covered in black mist, and she could not help but be on high alert. ¡°Out of the way! Otherwise, I won¡¯t mind killing you!¡± Hades said very straightforwardly. ¡°Humph, don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Aphrodite used all her divine power to create an extremely deep blue screen of light. In the ocean, she was more powerful than usual. Although she was not a match for a True God, she could buy some time! Hades did not expect to actually be stopped by Aphrodite. This made him very shocked and angry. He had always considered himself to be on par with Lorne, but now, the other party was fighting against six enemies who were each stronger than Aphrodite. This dealt a huge blow to his self-esteem, so he became more and more furious. His power output became even stronger. In less than a minute, Aphrodite was badly injured, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Pontus was very anxious. He wanted to fix the seal immediately and teach this black fog guy a good lesson. Aphrodite shook her head, indicating that she could do it. Lorne, who was in the distance, was also a little uneasy. He wanted to end the battle quickly. However, these Behemoths seemed to be unaware of pain. Each time he sent them flying, they rushed over again. However, as time passed, Lorne slowly gained the advantage. The six Behemoths became anxious and roared again. In the end, three more Behemoths appeared in the vortex. Lorne was a little surprised. He had not expected so many beast kings. This should be all of them. However, this time, the three newcomers did not rush towards Lorne. Instead, they rushed towards Pontus. ¡°Be careful!¡± Lorne shouted, wanting to stop them. However, these six Behemoths weren¡¯t to be trifled with. They couldn¡¯t beat Lorn, but they could hold him back. Aphrodite was just as shocked. If everything came at her, she would not be able to stop them. The sealing would fail. She bit her lower lip, and a flash of determination flashed through her eyes. At that critical moment, a powerful divine power fluctuation quickly appeared, directly getting in the way of the three Behemoths. It was an unexpected arrival. Pontus and Aphrodite were surprised. ¡°Poseidon, why are you here?¡± Aphrodite asked. Poseidon looked at the other party¡¯s face and felt a bit of heartache. ¡°I sensed that there was an opportunity for me here, so I came here. I didn¡¯t expect you to be here too. Are you okay?¡± His tone was very gentle. That¡¯s right, he was also secretly in love with Aphrodite. No one knew, but now that he saw that the other party was injured, he could not help but ask with concern. Aphrodite was stunned, then said that she was fine, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Please help me stop those three Behemoths.¡± Poseidon saw that Aphrodite was smiling like a flower, and he was instantly stunned. She actually smiled at me! This made his entire body filled with power. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll help you stop them!¡± Poseidon quickly expressed that his original goal was these Behemoths. Then, Poseidon directly attacked. His attacks were very fierce, and he actually managed to gain the upper hand in a short period of time. It made people sigh. Love was powerful! Seeing that the battlefield was not even, Lorne was relieved. He planned to use all of his strength now. In an instant, the pressure on the six Behemoths doubled. They grew even more anxious because the seal was almost complete. Hades had not expected his brother Poseidon to appear here, and he immediately became more vigilant. He was afraid that the other party would recognize him, so he allowed Aphrodite to get in his way. It did not matter. He had only agreed to take action and did not say that he would use all his strength to stop the other party¡¯s seal. In addition, the number of defenders gathering here was getting ridiculous, so he gradually began to waver, which made Aphrodite frown. However, she did call him out.. Chapter 33 - Lorne Gains Strength After Dealing With The Behemoths Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation No matter how angry and anxious the Behemoths grew, they could not change the outcome. Ten minutes passed quickly, and the seal was reactivated. The vortex was slowly closed, and countless monsters roared in anguish, making ear-piercing noises. After Pontus made his move, he instantly attacked Hades, relieving Aphrodite of her strain. The latter knew that things were beyond salvaging. Now was not the best time to expose himself, so he quickly left the battlefield and disappeared. Pontus initially wanted to chase after him, but seeing that Poseidon was in danger, he turned around and helped Poseidon, taking on two Behemoths by himself. Poseidon heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure was greatly reduced, and he began to attack the single Behemoth with all his might. He felt that this was his opportunity to gain more power. He fought fiercely. Not long after, one of the six Behemoths that surrounded Lorne fell. There were only five left. When the remaining Behemoths saw this, they revealed a human-like fear. Lorne¡¯s expression suddenly changed slightly. This was because the Behemoth that he had killed had actually provided him with pure energy. It had been absorbed by his Divine Spark. His strength had increased slightly, bringing him great joy. He had not thought that killing a Behemoth would bring such a benefit. Previously, he had been experimenting. Only fallen gods seemed to grant him power. Therefore, he attacked the remaining Behemoths with renewed fervor, bringing terror upon them. They did not like what they were seeing, so they each ran in five different directions. ¡°Where are you going?!¡± Lorne naturally did not want to let such an opportunity pass. In an instant, he stopped one of them. In a one-on-one fight, this Behemoth did not even last ten seconds its body was crushed beyond recognition. He quickly said to Pontus, ¡°Don¡¯t kill that one and leave it for me!¡± Then he went to chase after the other four Behemoths. Pentos was stunned. He had originally wanted to finish off his foe, but after Lorne¡¯s words, he backed off and simply circled his wounded prey. Although he did not know what Lorne was up to, he naturally humored his savior. Poseidon was the only one left fighting the Behemoth alone. ¡°Hi! Do you need my help?¡± ¡°No!¡± Poseidon refused in a muffled voice and attacked even more frenziedly. Soon, he managed to kill his foe. However, he was also slightly injured, but he was very happy. He felt himself on the cusp of the True God Realm. He dug out the Beast Crystal from the Behemoth¡¯s body. As long as he absorbed this, he had a high chance of breaking through. After he put it away, he looked at the corpses not far away, revealing a greedy look. However, he did not dare to move because it was Lorne¡¯s spoils of war. ¡°Do the crystals also empower him?¡± He had heard Lorne¡¯s voice transmission earlier and was a little puzzled. Then, the three of them began to treat their own injuries and waited for Lorne. About half an hour later, Lorne returned with a smile on his face. He nodded at Pontos, then killed the two Behemoths with two punches. He once again felt the pure energy being absorbed by his Divine Spark, recovering his health and empowering him further. ¡°How was it?¡± ¡°All dead!¡± Lorne understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile. If it weren¡¯t for the Behemoths scattering in different directions, he would not have taken so long. ¡°That¡¯s good! Lorne, thank you so much this time! If you need anything in the future, you can look for me. I will definitely help you!¡± Pontus then looked at Lorne and said with great sincerity. After all, when he had looked for Lorne¡¯s help previously, Lorne had agreed to it without any hesitation, making him look at him favorably. Poseidon looked at Lorne enviously. After all, Pontus was a powerful True God, and his word was of great value. ¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± Lorne was a little happy when he heard that. After all, he had gained a True God ally. Although he did not think he would need it, he was still very happy. Then, he looked at Aphrodite. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you, Lorne.¡± Aphrodite looked at Lorne¡¯s big, bright eyes sincerely. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Since it¡¯s over, I¡¯ll leave now!¡± Then, he nodded to Pontus and disappeared. ¡°Aphrodite, I¡¯ll leave now. I¡¯ll go back to Mount Olympus to cultivate. I¡¯ll break through to the True God realm when I come out!¡± Poseidon looked at Aphrodite and was very happy. ¡°Mm-hmm! Congratulations! Thank you for your help this time!¡± Aphrodite also thanked Poseidon. ¡°It¡¯s okay, hehe!¡±Poseidon giggled like a fool and touched the back of his head in embarrassment. Then, he exchanged a few words with the goddess and fled. ¡°Eh, this guy actually likes my sister. He¡¯s not too bad. What do you think? Do you have any thoughts?¡± At this time, Pontus suddenly appeared and said with interest as he watched Poseidon leave. Aphrodite was stunned when she heard that and glanced at her brother, ¡°What are you talking about! Why would he like me?!¡± After saying that, she ignored him and left the seabed. With her intelligence, she naturally knew that what her brother said was true, but unfortunately, she did not like him. It was a pity that beauties kept suitors hanging around. Pontus rubbed his chin, a look of pity on his face. He felt that this Poseidon was not bad. He had great potential and was a friend of the seas. ¡­ After leaving the seabed, Lorne could no longer hide the smile on his face. He had not expected to gain so much from this encounter. Six Behemoths plus another two from Pontus, a total of eight Behemoths had provided him with a large amount of pure energy. It had increased his strength by about one-fifth. His divine spark had been upgraded to a higher level. Not long after, he arrived at Athens city and put away the divine sword. After some scouting, he found that there was not a single monster in the surroundings. It seemed that Athena and the others had successfully defended the city. Now, the entrance to the core of the earth had been re-sealed. Although those monsters still existed, they would not reappear as long as there was the seal. Either way, it no longer mattered to Lorne. It did not take long for Athena to return looking exhausted. The moment she saw Lorne, surprise flashed in her eyes. ¡°How is it? Has the entrance been sealed?¡± He had left a message for Athena before he left. ¡°Yes, yes, it has been sealed.¡± Lorne hugged her and said gently. The latter buried her head in Lorne¡¯s chest and said softly, ¡°Now that everything has fallen back under control, I have some good news.¡± ¡°What good news?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the calamity. My actions brought in a massive influx of faith. There¡¯s just so much of it that I don¡¯t dare to use it. I¡¯ve stored it all into my godhead.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lorne was stunned. Athena looked at Lorne¡¯s expression and burst into laughter. ¡°It should be related to this calamity. Right now, people are saying that I¡¯m the one who stopped the monsters!¡± She said proudly.. Chapter 34 - The Calm Before The Storm! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne also understood that this girl was showing off to him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the power of faith is just so dangerous and volatile. I don¡¯t dare to put it to use!¡± Athena quickly explained. ¡°If you don¡¯t need it, then don¡¯t use it! Just store it for now. I believe that it¡¯s not such a simple boost in strength!¡± Lorne thought for a moment and said. In the end, the two of them talked about staying in Athens and preparing to return to the Alps. ¡­ ¡°Lorne! You deserve to die! How dare you ruin my plans again!¡± A cruel voice spread across the distance, and many weaker creatures trembled in fear. After Typhon received the news, he was furious. After venting his anger, he stared at Hades. ¡°From now on, you will do your best to create chaos for me, and give me more bloodlust. I will personally tear him apart!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I will!¡± Hades saw how angry the other party was, but he was somewhat pleased. When he heard the other party¡¯s command tone, he only frowned and did not take it to heart. As he watched Hades leave, Typhon¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent. Damn Hades, do you think I would not know if you did not try your hardest. Otherwise, how could you have failed! However, at the moment, he could only rely on this Olympian. He did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality with him, so he did not expose him. ¡°Damn it! When I get out of here, I¡¯ll definitely throw you high and mighty gods down.¡± Typhon was feeling extremely tyrannical at this moment. His entire strength burst forth, shaking the space hundreds of thousands of miles wide. ¡­ After returning to the Alps, Lorne and Athena continued to live their lives, taking all the time in the world. At the same time, they refined the divine runes in the divine sword. In their free time, they cultivated Damalis¡¯ own powers. After all, she was a demigod, and her body contained tremendous power and potential. She had nothing to lose. Naturally, Damalis was extremely excited. Right now, her power had already reached the level of a demigod, and it would not be long before she broke through to the next level. It could be said that she was making rapid progress, but of course, this was only made possible with Lorne¡¯s support. ¡°Remember! Divine Sparks are the most important and fundamental existences of gods. You must never let it come to harm!¡± At that moment, Lorne was speaking slowly after knocking Damalis out of the sky once again. During this period of time, Athena was in closed-door training. Lorne was bored, so he sparred with Damalis as a form of training. Hearing this, Damalis nodded, indicating that she understood. ¡°Then let¡¯s do it again!¡± After saying that, Lorne rushed towards the other party. Of course, he was holding himself back, but his physical body and experience still gave him a major advantage. ¡­ At that moment, in the palace on Mount Olympus. Poseidon announced that he was entering closed-door cultivation the moment he returned. At the same time, he announced that he was about to break through to the True God level. Once this news was spread, it instantly caused a huge uproar. Even Hades was a little shocked. He did not expect the person he had overlooked to potentially be the biggest obstacle to him becoming the godly monarch. The other gods were excited. They knew very well what this meant. Once Poseidon broke through to the True God level, they stood a better chance against the Titans. Countless gods were looking forward to his breakthrough. Although Hera looked very happy, there was some worry in her eyes. After all, if Poseidon succeeded in breaking through, after defeating the Titan Court¡­ the one who would become the next God-King would not be Zeus, but Poseidon. If Zeus was not the God-King, she would not be the God-Queen! She was rather disgruntled, but there was nothing she could do. Zeus was still in closed-door cultivation and there was no way to contact him, which only made her all the more resentful toward her husband. When this news spread to the entire world, countless gods were shocked. After all, it was common knowledge that gods did not break through. Therefore, when the news of Poseidon¡¯s breakthrough came, many gods guessed that the war that had lasted for decades might end. Meanwhile, the Titan Court was shocked. After all, they had not expected the ordinary Poseidon to break through. This caught them unprepared, meanwhile, Oceanus had already stopped his plans against the Olympians. ¡°What is everyone¡¯s opinion? Tell us!¡± Oceanus looked at the somewhat quiet meeting and broke the silence first. The other Titans also looked at each other, not knowing what to say. In the end, only Hyperion raised his head and said, ¡°What about you? You are the closest to a True God among us. Have you not broken through yet?¡± After saying that, the other gods also looked at Oceanus. After all, among their group, he was the only one who could breakthrough anytime soon. Oceanus understood what people were getting up to. He could not help but laugh bitterly, ¡°Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!¡± He only repeated the same word again and again. ¡°Then it seems that we have to inform the God-King. We have already made plans! Once Poseidon breaks through, it is time for them to take the initiative to attack! There is not much time left for us!¡± Rhea finally made a decision. She had always been very quiet. Everything was decided by Oceanus, but now that the Titans had been backed into a corner, she had no choice but to speak up. In the end, she and Oceanus went to see the God-King. Separated by a thick layer of spatial barriers, they did not see him and could only hear his voice. Hence, Oceanus told him everything that had happened during this period of time. To their surprise, Cronus remained calm. He just smiled lightly and told Oceanus, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I have my own plans for this matter! For now, cancel your plans and wait for me to come out of seclusion!¡± Oceanus was finally relieved. He even grew very excited, because he could hear the hidden meaning behind Cronus¡¯ words. That was that he had already recovered his strength. Even if Poseidon broke through to true God, he did not have to worry anymore! ¡°Yes! God King!¡± After saying that, Oceanus felt relieved and left. ¡°Poseidon? Interesting! I was expecting Zeus!¡± Cronus was full of energy at the moment. His aura was unparalleled. He sat cross-legged in the air and was surrounded by the power of faith. He muttered in surprise. ¡°Soon! As long as I absorb the power of faith, my strength will be fully recovered! Zeus! Lorne! We will cross them out one by one!¡± After saying that, Cronus continued to absorb the power of faith. After that, the entire world fell into silence. The Gods of Olympus did not act rashly, and the Titan Court fell into obscurity. It was as if the world had returned to the moment before the outbreak of the Divine War, but many people knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Both sides were waiting. Even Lorne had received the news, holding his chin and not saying a word.. Chapter 35 - Hades Exposed! Entertainment! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Interesting! It seems that both parties are restraining themselves. Let¡¯s see which party breaks through to True God realm first! However, that old guy Cronus might have recovered long ago.¡± Lorne was deep in thought. After knowing that the power of faith could rapidly increase one¡¯s strength, he felt that Cronus was trying to hide his strength to surprise Olympus and then attack him in one fell swoop. ¡°Should I remind them?¡± Lorne thought of this. He had originally planned to let Athena remind him, but she had not come out of seclusion yet. He only knew that Zeus and Cronus were not good people. Let them fight each other! He just did not expect that the first person to break through to the True God realm to not be Zeus, but Poseidon, who had not stood out much before this. As for Hades¡­ Huh? Hades? Lorne was stunned. That¡¯s right! He seemed to have overlooked this old bastard. In the myths and legends of his previous life, this was a guy who could contend with Zeus. Why was he even more low-key than Poseidon? This was very wrong! Either it was because Hades had not risen, or this guy was deliberately keeping a low profile! Lorne closed his eyes and began to recall everything about Hades. After sifting through his brain, which was faster than a supercomputer, he instantly opened his eyes. Lorne¡¯s eyes flashed. There was something wrong with Hades! He thought of the matter of Athena being chased in Tartarus, and also of the black-robed man at the entrance to the underground sea. Athena had explained that she had gone to Tartrus because she had noticed something was wrong with Hades, so she had followed him. However, she did not expect him to disappear right after they entered. Not long after that, she was hunted down by a magical beast! Although there was no definite connection between the two events, if one thought about it carefully, it was all very unusual. There was only one existence that could mobilize the magical beasts of Tartarus, and that was the demonic singularity, Typhon! ¡°When did Hades get together with Typhon?¡± Lorne tapped his finger lightly on the table as he pondered. ¡°And why were they chasing after Athena? Had Athena learned about them? Were they trying to silence her? That¡¯s not right! If Athena found out, she would have definitely told me. Since she didn¡¯t tell me, it means that she had not found out! ¡°They are too careful. Too fearful of any risks!¡± Lorne deduced the sequence of events in his mind bit by bit. If the two of them knew that he had figured it out, they would definitely be dumbfounded. ¡°The seal on the underground entrance is loose! I was wondering how could it all be so coincidental! It should be the two of them. Was it Hades in the black robes?¡± Lorne continued to follow the clues. He was ready to ask Athena when she woke up. She would know if Hades appeared when she was defending against the beasts! ¡°If he never showed up there, he was down the ocean with us! To think he hid it all so well! He has already broken through to the True God realm!¡± Lorne had not expected such a conspiracy. If it was not for his sudden inspiration today, he would have truly remained in the dark. After a few days, Athena finally came out of closed-door cultivation with a faint smile on her face. It was obvious that she had gained quite a lot. Lorne instantly knew that although she had not broken through, she had improved a little compared to before. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to break through to the True God realm! As for Zeus and the other two brothers, they were the main characters. Naturally, there was no need to mention their talent. The two of them first had a moment of intimacy before Lorne told Athena about his previous deductions. At the same time, he asked her if she had seen Hades during the calamity. After hearing this, Athena was stunned. She had never thought that Hades had already broken through to the True God realm long ago. Moreover, to think that he had some sort of connection with the ancestor of the demons who was sealed in hell. She remembered following him into Tartarus and shuddered. She had been most fortunate to make it out alive. So she thought quickly, ¡°No! ¡°When I went to Mount Olympus, not only was Hades absent, Zeus wasn¡¯t there either. I heard that he was cultivating in seclusion, trying to break through to the True God realm! Hades and Poseidon were also missing after the first wave of the calamity.¡± ¡°Poseidon went to the bottom of the sea, and that black-robed man should be Hades!¡± Lorne said with a smile. Athena still could not believe it. She did not expect Hades to collude with Typhon. If word got out, there would be no place for him in the entire world. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why Hades did not expose his strength, since he chose to hide, he must have his purpose. Right now, he does not know that he has been discovered by us! ¡°As long as we pay more attention, we¡¯ll definitely discover him!¡± Lorne smiled and explained, ¡°Now that Poseidon is about to break through to True God, I think Zeus is also about to breakthrough! When that time comes, they¡¯ll definitely be the first to launch an attack on the Titans. Cronus isn¡¯t a simple man either. This is going to be interesting! When that time comes, we can watch something good!¡± Athena heard this and thought for a moment, but remained silent. Lorne seemed to know what she was thinking, he patted her head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! The fate of the Titan Court has already been decided. Although the Titan Court is a threat to Olympus, it is not a big problem, not to mention that Olympus will have two True Gods now.¡± Athena heard that the worries in her heart had disappeared, and her face regained its glory and color. Another few months had passed, and the entire world seemed to have pressed the pause button. It was very quiet, and there was not even any conflict. However, all the living beings in the world felt very depressed, as if a storm was about to come. However, the atmosphere on Mount Olympus was very good, and every god had a trace of joy on their faces. On that day, a door that had been closed for a long time slowly opened. Zeus walked out very calmly, but his eyes were filled with endless joy and confidence. He used his divine sense to scan and found that the gods were in a good mood, which surprised him. Before he went into seclusion, the entirety of Olympus was very depressed, but he did not expect that once he came out of seclusion, things would be different. What exactly happened? He had to find someone to ask about what happened in the outside world. Soon, he met Hera. Because he hid his strength, Hera did not realize that his strength had broken through to the True God realm. However, there was a worried look on Hera¡¯s face. He was stunned. Before he could ask, Hera could not help but ask first.. Chapter 36 - Zeus Comes Out Of Seclusion! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hmph! I was thinking that you wouldn¡¯t come out!¡± ¡°Do you know that Poseidon is about to break through to the True God realm? What have you been doing all this time? !¡± Hera lost her composure and snapped at him. She had been nervously wound up like a drawn bow, and she erupted with joy when she saw Zeus. Zeus was also stunned when he heard Hera¡¯s words. His originally happy mood vanished, and his desire to breakthrough. There was only one sentence left in his mind: Do you know that Poseidon is about to break through to the True God realm?! ¡®How is this possible? I¡¯ve gone through so much trouble to break through to the True God realm. How did he break through in an instant? What¡¯s going on? What happened when I was in closed-door cultivation?¡¯ He only reacted after a few seconds. ¡®He¡¯s about to break through to the true God realm? Does this mean that he hasn¡¯t broken through yet?¡¯ He hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did something big happen while I was in closed-door cultivation? Where¡¯s Poseidon? Has he already broken through?¡± He asked all the questions in his mind. Hera¡¯s resentment had mostly disappeared after a venting at her husband. She calmed down when she saw Zeus¡¯ nervous expression, then she explained, ¡°After you were in seclusion, the pressure from the Titan Court only intensified, but suddenly one day, Athena ran over to us. She said that there was something unfolding in the deep sea, and there were heavy mortal casualties on the coastline. She was asking for our help!¡± When she said this, a complicated expression flashed across her face. Zeus frowned when he heard it and asked, ¡°And then? Did You Guys Act?¡± ¡°At that time, the Titan Court put a lot of pressure on us, so I didn¡¯t dare to make a decision for a while. In the end, I asked for everyone¡¯s opinion. Poseidon claimed that there was an opportunity for him in this beast tide. In addition, the other gods also decided to act, so we decided to act to resist the Beast Tide. It was precisely because of this that we attracted the favor of the ancient neutral party. ¡°In our absence, the Titans tried to attack our home, but the mediators got in their way! We finally took the chance to rest.¡± Hera had not expected Athena¡¯s actions to gain favor for all of Olympus. In the eyes of the mortals, they were seen as the world¡¯s saviors. The Titans were also forced to leave the Olympians in peace as they carried out their humanitarian efforts. ¡°After Poseidon came back, he claimed that he already had the chance to break through to the True God Realm?¡± Zeus frowned after listening to Hera¡¯s words, and he said what Hera did not finish. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Hera nodded. After listening to Hera, Zeus smiled, which made Hera all the more confused, until Zeus released a trace of his aura, which made Hera take a step back. Then, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. ¡°You¡­ you¡­ you broke through to the True God Realm?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s a shame I could not participate in the calamity! Fortunately, I had a breakthrough!¡± The corners of Zeus¡¯ mouth curled up. He was very pleased with Hera¡¯s shock, and his originally depressed mood disappeared. As long as Poseidon had not broken through, he was officially the first to breakthrough! ¡°Good! That¡¯s great! Zeus, do you know how worried I have been during this period of time?¡± Hera immediately cried tears of joy, causing Zeus¡¯eyes to flash with a trace of heartache. He quickly pulled Hera into his embrace and comforted her softly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯s fine! Leave the rest to me!¡± Hera shook her head gently, her fears and worries finally dissipating. ¡°Alright! Immediately convene the meeting of the gods! Announce this matter now! At that time, the prestige of the Olympians will be even greater! After Poseidon breaks through, it will be time to settle the score with the Titan Court!¡± Zeus was currently in high spirits, as if he had already defeated the Titan Court and established a new generation of the court, and he was the current God-King! ¡°Alright!¡± Following that, Hera contacted the gods. The current Olympus was not like the later generations. The major gods were free to move as they wished, and they rarely remained in Mount Olympus. A few days later, many of the Olympian main forces had already arrived in the palace, and all of them were somewhat puzzled. ¡°Hera, what¡¯s the matter? Why were you in such a hurry to call us over?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Has Poseidon already brokenthrough?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Looks like you¡¯re in a good mood! Something good must have happened!¡± The gods discussed animatedly. Looking at Hera¡¯s radiant appearance, they all took their guesses. Hera smiled mysteriously. ¡°You¡¯ll know soon enough!¡± After saying that, Zeus appeared at the door. When the gods looked over, they were all stunned. ¡°Zeus? When did you come out of seclusion?¡± ¡°Haha Not long ago! How have you all been?¡± Zeus was in a very good mood at the moment. He walked all the way to the front and teased everyone with a smile. The gods were stunned. Zeus had never once joked with them. They were dumbfounded. ¡°I¡¯ve gathered everyone here because I have something to inform everyone.¡± Zeus explained. The gods remained silent and continued to look at Zeus. ¡°The war between the Titan Court has been going on for a long time now. It¡¯s time to end it! I think everyone is weary of fighting!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the gods nodded. They were already prepared for this. They were only waiting for Poseidon to successfully come out of seclusion. However, they had not expected Zeus to bring it up first. ¡°That¡¯s right! If we continue fighting, we¡¯ll probably win in the end but not before suffering heavy losses.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s time to settle the score!¡± ¡°As long as Poseidon breaks through to the True God realm, our chances of winning will be greatly increased!¡± Upon hearing the gods mention Poseidon¡¯s name again, Zeus¡¯ mouth twitched. He immediately coughed twice and pulled his gaze back. ¡°But today, I have another piece of good news to tell everyone!¡± Seeing the puzzled expressions of the gods, Zeus did not plan to continue pretending. He directly released a powerful aura, momentarily stifling all the gods. Everyone was extremely shocked, and their faces revealed an expression of disbelief. ¡°Zeus, have you also broken through to the True God realm?¡± One of the main gods asked expectantly. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zeus unceremoniously nodded. Hua! Immediately, all the main gods sucked in a breath of cold air. After being stunned for a few seconds, they were overjoyed. They did not expect Zeus to breakthrough before Poseidon. What did this mean? This meant that they had two True Gods! They would be even more confident when facing the Titan Court! Seeing the gods¡¯ happy expression and the respectful looks in their eyes, Zeus was quite satisfied. This was the effect he wanted. Soon, the Olympians found out that Zeus was the first one to break through to the True God realm. It stunned them at first, then they were pleasantly surprised. After all, the stronger they were, the safer they were. Hades, who was not present, also found out that Zeus had broken through to the True God realm ahead of Poseidon. This made his gloomy face even more terrifying. ¡°Damn it! How am I going to breakthrough to the True God realm at this point! How am I supposed to become a God-King? Damn it!¡± Hades was extremely furious.. Chapter 37 - Internal Strife! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The appearance of Poseidon had surprised him, and he could accept it. But he did not expect Zeus to break through to the True God realm at this point, which greatly disrupted his plans. Previously, he had planned to spread the news of Poseidon breaking through after he broke through to the true God realm. Then, the two of them would work together to deal with Titan Court, and he would then deal with Poseidon and become the new godly king. But now, Zeus had also broken through. Among the three brothers, he was the only one who had not broken through. Even if they defeated the Titans, he would not be accredited or praised for it, and he would not be the God-King. Zeus¡¯ threat was much greater than Poseidon¡¯s because Poseidon did not stand out much. Even if he broke through to the True God realm, it would not pose much of a threat to his shot at the throne. However, Zeus was different. He was the one who saved the gods, so he was highly regarded. According to the agreement, the Titans would recommend as the next God-King upon their defeat. He was now a True God. When the two were added together, nothing would stop him. It was impossible for Hades! How could he be willing to accept this? All his years of planning had turned to dust in an instant. ¡°No! I have to get rid of Zeus! Otherwise, he will be the biggest obstacle on my path to becoming a God-King!¡± There was a cold murderous intent in Hades¡¯eyes. Anyone who tried to stop him would be his enemy. As for the Titan Court, to be honest, they were no longer his concern. At most, Cronus would be a threat, but the Olympians were going to have three True Gods. The biggest threat had shifted from foreign to domestic. ¡°No, first, I need to stand out among my peers. I need to get noticed. I need to show them that a third True God stands among them!¡± Hades thought for a long time and slowly spoke. Then, a piece of explosive news shocked the Olympians again because Hades had sent news that he had also unintentionally broken through to the True God realm not long ago. This news caused the Olympians to completely boil over! They knew that the era that belonged to the Olympians had already arrived! Three True Gods. Even the Primordials would be threatened by such a force. It was the end of the Titans. Their originally incomparably powerful enemies were no longer a threat. The Olympians sighed at the impermanence of the world. This was truly incredible! As this news spread to the world, needless to say, the entire world shook. Countless Primodrials looked towards Mount Olympus. They saw that Mount Olympus was going through an era of great change, they knew the tables had turned. The Titans were even more flustered. They never thought that the originally weak Olympians would explode with such potential, producing three True Gods out of thin air. They were severely demoralized. If not for Cronus calming them down, they would have long been in a panic. However, even Cronus was starting to worry. Even so, he was still very confident in his own strength. He directly transmitted a message to the gods of Titan not to panic and to do everything as usual. ¡­ In the Alps. Lorne, who had received the news, was also somewhat surprised. He secretly clicked his tongue. These three brothers were on fire! Hades surprised him the most. Why would he expose his power now? After thinking for a long time, Lorne¡¯s mind moved. ¡°Is this guy also trying to be the God-King?¡± After all, this guy had a criminal record. In the legends of his previous life, none of the three brothers were good people. They all coveted the throne, but Zeus bullied his way to the top. They seemed just as stubborn this time. Lorne shook his head. He was not interested in such a position of power. ¡°Things are going to get interesting!¡± They did not know that Cronus was old and sly. The three brothers would be starting an internal conflict among themselves. They would make the mistake of disregarding the Titans. It was indeed as Lorne had thought. After Poseidon came out of seclusion and broke through to the True God realm, the atmosphere in Mount Olympus first turned from the joy of the gods to a silent, cold war. Now that the three brothers had all broken through, their ambitions and intents had all been exposed. They all wanted to fight for the throne, which made the other gods both happy and worried. They were happy that the Titans were no longer the problem. They were worried that the three brothers seemed to be in disunity and all wanted to fight for the throne. This would definitely lead to a civil war, which would also affect the Olympians and force them to choose sides. Although none of this had been blown out of the water, it was only inevitable. At the Olympian Palace. At the moment, the three of them were having a standoff. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon met after their first breakthrough. Each of them had an unparalleled aura and were in high spirits. ¡°Very good! It seems that my two brothers are already prepared!¡± Zeus broke the deadlock first and looked at the two of them. Hades was expressionless, but Poseidon could not help but say, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two of you to hide yourselves so well. It was all dead silent, but when I came out of seclusion, I was the last one to breakthrough! How very well played!¡± ¡°No, no, no! It was just a fluke!¡± Hades shook his head and said. The three of them did not speak a single word of the truth at this moment, and the meeting ended on bad terms. They did not even mention anything about the Titan Court. The three of them viewed each other as the greatest threat. On the other hand, the Titan Court was no longer important. As the content of the meeting was unintentionally publicized, the Titan Court was both angry and happy. They were angry that Zeus and the other two did not put them in their eyes. They were happy that the conflict between the three of them had worsened, leading to possible internal strife, and they would not have time to care about Titan Court. As for Cronus, he was all the happier! Lorne had not expected the three brothers to be this impatient. ¡°If this goes on, Cronus will defeat them one by one! When that time comes, you guys are finished!¡± Lorne muttered to himself. Athena, on the other hand, was very worried. She had heard Lorne say that Cronus was not as simple as he appeared to be! If this continued, the Olympians would be in danger. However, she also knew that her words did not hold much weight, not to mention that Zeus and the other two were already True Gods. They had long despised Lorne, so how could they listen to her? ¡°Don¡¯t worry! It won¡¯t be happening so soon! Everyone has more tricks up their sleeves!¡± Lorne was very disdainful of Zeus and the other two.. If they were not the main characters in the legends, they would have died long ago! Chapter 38 - Lorne Comes Out Of Seclusion, And The Final Battle Begins! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After comforting Athena, Lorne also went into seclusion. As his strength continued to increase, he would be able to refine even more runes on his divine sword. Currently, he had already refined 27 divine runes, and was in the process of refining the 28th divine rune. The power in his body grew purer and stronger. Combined with his divine sword, he could crush and shatter the surrounding space. If not for his body suppressing such a force, the Alps would have been leveled to the ground by now. Lorne¡¯s hands formed complicated hand seals, and the pure energy in his divine core continuously washed over the divine runes. Twenty-seven bright light strips lit up inside the divine sword, like chains. Now, the twenty-eighth light strip was faintly discernible, slowly condensing from the weak light spots into a bright chain. However, no one knew how long this process would take. As time passed, the light strip became brighter and brighter, just like how Lorne¡¯s mood was getting better and better. Suddenly, the originally bright light spots melted into a ball, and then transformed into a chain. Immediately, the divine sword pulsed with new levels of power, and the sword body emitted a buzzing sound. Lorne¡¯s power finally disappeared, and the energy within the divine spark also slowly stopped flowing. Lorne opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He succeeded! He had already refined the twenty-eighth divine rune. The aura emitted by the divine sword was becoming more and more terrifying, and the power he displayed was also becoming stronger and stronger. He prepared to refine the next divine rune, but in the end, he shook his head. No, it seemed that he had spent enough time here. Lorne decided to leave his seclusion. Athena and Damalis were talking, they heard the commotion and looked over. When they saw Lorne come out, they were delighted. ¡°Lorne, you¡¯re finally out!¡± Athena said with a smile. Lorne walked over and looked at the two of them. ¡°Yes! This took quite a while. How long has it been?¡± ¡°My lord, it¡¯s been a year. You¡¯ve really been a long time this time!¡± Damalis answered with a chuckle. ¡°Uh!¡± Lorne knew that it had been a long time, but he did not expect it to be so long. He thought for a moment and continued to ask, ¡°Right, what¡¯s the current state of the world? What¡¯s the situation like?¡± ¡°We were just talking about it. There haven¡¯t been any major events this year. Basically, Zeus and the other two are just fighting among themselves without a care for the Titan Court. The Olympians are furious. Many gods have left that place, but recently, for some reason, the three brothers have joined forces and are preparing to deal with the Titan Court first!¡± Naturally, Damalis did not know about the outside world, so Athena took over. Lorne was a little surprised after hearing it. He did not expect the three of them to really put aside their differences and work together to deal with the Titan Court first. Had they finally come around to the dangers of Cronus? Lorne guessed to himself. ¡°When are they going to make a move?¡± Lorne suppressed his inner thoughts and continued to ask Athena. After all, the other party was an Olympian and had to know more than others. Athena nodded. ¡°Probably in the next few days! They are consolidating their strength and will need some time. I think it¡¯s about time!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good! It¡¯s too boring staying here anyway! Let¡¯s go take a look!¡± Lorne thought for a while and suggested with a smile. He did not expect to be greeted with such a blockbuster the moment he exited. He was not going to interfere, but he could watch some good soap opera. ¡°Ah?¡± Athena and Damalis were stunned. Lorne did not explain. He asked the two of them to pack up and prepare to go out. Damalis was a little excited because this was her first trip ever since meeting Lorne. She had been holding it in for a long time. The gods of the entire world were very concerned about Olympus. When they saw such movement, some of the more acute onlookers also guessed that the battle that they had been waiting for a long time was about to begin. All eyes turned to the Titan Court. Many of the neutral gods had the same thoughts as Lorne and rushed to the Titan Court. Pontus and Aphrodite were of the same thoughts. They left the deep sea and rushed to the Titan Court. Although Aphrodite was an Olympian, she had Pontus¡¯ brother. She was rarely ever seen in Mount Olympus. As for the fight between the three brothers, she distanced herself from it, knowing that they would try to rope her in on account of her brother. Coincidentally, she bumped into Lorne and the others who had left Mount Olympus. Pontus was overjoyed. He still viewed Lorne favorably, so he instantly decided to travel together with Lorne. Lorne was fine with it, but Athena and Aphrodite were sizing each other up and secretly competing against each other. As a woman, Athena felt that Aphrodite had a different opinion of Lorne, which made raised her guard up. She knew this Olympian goddess very well. Her appearance was not inferior to hers, and she definitely beat her when it involved appealing the male gaze. Aphrodite knew of the relationship between Athena and Lorne, so she immediately looked at Athena with a scrutinizing look. Lorne and Pontus had finished greeting each other and were about to introduce Athena to the two of them when Lorne suddenly felt that the atmosphere turning a little chilly. Looking at the aura of the two women, Lorne felt that something was not right. ¡°Ahem, Athena, let me introduce some to you. This is Pontus, the first of the Sea Gods.¡± Therefore, he had no choice but to force himself to interrupt the silent confrontation between the two of them. Athena nodded at Pontus and greeted him. The latter also smiled cordially. Then, he looked at Aphrodite. ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to introduce this person, right? Both of you are Olympians. You should know each other, right?¡± Athena glanced at Lorne with a smile and then looked at Aphrodite. ¡°Yes, how can I not know her? After all, she¡¯s the beautiful Goddess of Olympus.¡± Aphrodite was also beaming. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m good with my sisters!¡± Both of them were smiling and seemed to be friendly. Lorne seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was. ¡­ The outside world was in an uproar. As the Olympians charged toward the Titan Court, the whole world stood on its tiptoes. The Titan Court was quiet. They had long been prepared for this, but everyone still looked a little nervous. At that moment, inside the temple, the main Titans were sitting in their seats. Hyperion was filled with a murderous aura. ¡°Now, there are more and more people watching the show outside! They think of us as clowns. It¡¯s like watching a show. They deserve to die. Should we kill them before the final battle with Olympus!¡± Although he was a little surprised that three True Gods had appeared in Olympus, he was not afraid at all. This was because he felt that the Titans were mighty. It was also not his turn to deal with the brothers. They all had their own opponents to deal with. He was not afraid of the other main gods of Olympus. Naturally, he was not worried at all.. Chapter 39 - The Olympians Are At The Titans Doorstep Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°No worries!¡± Oceanus was not worried. It was better for some people to see it. With the rise of Olympus over the years, more and more people felt that the Titan Court was no longer able to hold on. They had lost their dignity and confidence in the past. This was just the right time to let the gods witness the power of the Titan Court. Although the Titans were no longer as glorious as before, he was not someone to be trifled with. He was very confident about this battle. Not only was Cronus¡¯ strength far beyond the True God realm, but he had also relied on Cronus¡¯ help and support during this period of time to finally cross the threshold of the True God Realm. However, he had kept all of this a secret. When the time came, it would be enough to give the gods a pleasant surprise. This time, not only did the Olympians want to settle the battle, the Titans were just as eager. They could not afford to continue fighting either. They had to settle the battle. For a moment, most of the gods in the entire world appeared. Other mortals who had confidence in their own escape abilities and survivability also came. After all, this battle was also a matter of concern to all the living beings in the world. However, they were all quite far away. They were probably afraid that the very shockwaves of the battle would kill them. When Lorne and the others arrived outside the Titan Court, they took a closer look. All the named gods were there. Even the Mountain God Ourea, whom they had met at the meeting, was among them. After nodding to the other party, Lorne took out a huge woolen blanket and floated in the air. It was unusually stable. There was a huge table and a number of chairs on it, the table was filled with all kinds of alpine specialty snacks. This had been prepared by Lorne before they set off. It could be said that he was very good at enjoying himself. ¡°Come, come, Pontus. Do you want to sit together?¡± Lorne directly pulled Athena and Damalis to sit with him. At the same time, he also called out to Pontus and Aphrodite who had come together. ¡°¡­¡±. The siblings were completely speechless. They were dumbstruck. Good heavens, Lorne, you¡¯re really amazing. You would go so far to get comfortable even watching a show. Aren¡¯t you afraid that the Olympus Gods and Titan gods will join forces to destroy you? The siblings were not the only ones. The countless gods who came to watch the battle from afar saw Lorne enjoying himself so much that their jaws dropped in shock. Upon hearing Lorne¡¯s invitation, Pontus was a little hesitant. Was this not too ostentatious? In addition to his quiet personality, he did not like being stared at, so he was a little hesitant. But Aphrodite, who was at the side, saw Athena sitting on top and eating her snacks beautifully. How could she tolerate this? She pulled a chair and sat on the other side of Lorne. She picked up the food and started eating. At the same time, she looked at Athena proudly, but the latter ignored her. In the distance, the Mountain God Ourea wanted to come over and greet Lorne, but when he saw this, he stopped abruptly and his mouth twitched. He thought for a moment and went straight to Pontus¡¯ side. ¡°My brother, how have you been recently? Are you finally willing to come out of the sea?¡± Ourea smiled and hugged Pontus as he asked in a friendly manner. As brothers, there was no need to say much about their relationship. In addition, they spent less time together and more time apart, so their relationship ran deep. Pontos had been a little hesitant when Ourea suddenly walked over. He was instantly delighted and greatly eased his awkwardness. ¡°Ourea, why are you here too? What a coincidence!¡± The two of them chatted for a long time before they came to Lorne¡¯s fluffy blanket. ¡°Lorne, long time no see!¡± Ourea greeted him with a smile. Lorne did not lose his manners and replied with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time!¡± Just as the two of them were conversing, the gates of Titan Divine Court opened wide. The gods dressed in Titan formal robes walked out one after another. With Oceanus as the leader, they looked around and immediately, the sounds of conversation in the distance stopped. However, when they saw Lorne, the corners of their mouths twitched. Lorne, you¡¯ve gone too far! Did you really treat us as monkeys? However, when they saw that Pontus and Ourea were sitting with Lorne, they immediately swallowed their gloominess. F*ck, they could not afford to offend them! Three powerful beings were there, not to mention that there was Lorne! He did not want to provoke him when things were so precarious. After all, if Lorne were to side the Olympians, he would not even have the chance to cry. He could only wait until Zeus and the others were finished before dealing with Lorne. At that time, both old and new grudges would be settled! Hence, he did not pay attention to Lorne. Hyperion also understood the importance of today. He looked at Lorne, who was filled with hatred, but he did not act impulsively. ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± At that moment, Oceanus suddenly looked at the distant sky and suddenly spoke. The gods all looked over and saw some black spots in the distant sky. The black spots quickly magnified and more than ten Olympians flew over. ¡°Oh? Quite a reception!¡± Zeus looked at the surrounding gods who were watching the battle and immediately frowned. His eyes narrowed slightly and his expression was not good. When the gods sensed the three powerful auras, they immediately retreated thousands of miles. Only a huge blanket remained in the distance. The gods looked over and were stunned. It was none other than Lorne, as well as Pontus and Ourea. ¡°Why are the three of them together?¡± Zeus was extremely fearful and asked in a deep voice. Originally, Lorne alone was enough to make them fearful. Now, two Primordials sat with him. Especially Poseidon, who was beside him. When he saw that the goddess he had a crush on was actually close to Lorne, his jet-black eyes were burning with jealousy. The anger in his heart was slowly rising. The aura of a True God was faintly discernible from his body. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Damn Lorne!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be rash! Today, our target is Cronus! Don¡¯t cause trouble! There will be plenty of time to deal with him in the future!¡± Zeus frowned when he saw this and pressed down on Poseidon, reminding him softly. Poseidon slowly returned to normal, but he still looked at Lorne with murderous intent. Zeus heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want to face two enemies at the same time, not to mention that Athena was Lorne¡¯s partner, and their relationship was not ordinary. He did not want to offend such a potential ally. Instead, he wanted to rope in Athena and help him suppress Hades and Poseidon. After nodding at Lorne, he did not say anything else, which surprised Lorne. He did not expect Zeus to greet him. However, on second thought, it made sense. After all, he was with Athena. They were considered rather close. After some thought, he nodded to Zeus as well. This action made the other Olympians ponder their future actions. Especially Hades and Poseidon. Their expressions were a little ugly at this moment. They looked at each other and saw each other¡¯s thoughts.. Chapter 40 - War Is On The Verge Of Breaking Out. Cronus Has A Plan. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After the interlude, Zeus and the others directly went up to Oceanus. Zeus glanced around, but did not find Cronus. ¡°Hmph! Where is Cronus? Why isn¡¯t he here? Is he so afraid of us that he hides from us?¡± The surrounding crowd started gossiping about it, causing the Titan Court to be furious. Oceanus glanced down at him and said in a clear voice, ¡°Zeus, there¡¯s no need to argue here. I¡¯ll ask you this one more time. Do you Olympians really want to start a war with the Titans?¡± To be honest, he did not want to start a war at the moment. After all, he was not too familiar with the strength of a True God. It would take some time before that happened. ¡°Cut the crap! Call Cronus out! Today is the day of our final battle!¡± Before Zeus could speak, Poseidon could not hold it in any longer. At that moment, he was filled with anger and immediately wanted to vent it out. ¡°Alright! If that¡¯s the case, I hope you won¡¯t regret it!¡± Oceanus gave everyone a deep look and reminded them. Then, he did not look at the gods but turned around and said respectfully, ¡°Please, God-King!¡± ¡°Please, God-King!¡± The other Titan gods shouted in unison. Their voices were as bright as rocks, resounding throughout the world. Zeus and the others immediately released their auras. Their eyes became alert. They saw that the space on the upper left was rippling like the surface of water. Then, a figure stepped out from within. It was the Titan Godly Court¡¯s God-King, Cronus. At that moment, he appeared very enigmatic. He had an indifferent look on his face. After looking around, he stared in Lorne¡¯s direction for three seconds. Then, he looked at Zeus and the others again. ¡°Three unfilial sons, oh how has this king underestimated you!¡± He spoke softly, his indifferent tone made Zeus and the others very unhappy. ¡°Cronus, cut the crap. There will be no Titan Court after today!¡± Zeus rushed into the sky, looked directly at Cronus, and replied coldly. ¡°Then let this king see what you are capable of!¡± Cronus gently tapped the scepter in his hand, and immediately, countless space blades flew towards the three of them. They were formless and colorless, and it was soundless and tasteless. The alarm bells of Zeus and the other two instantly went off. ¡°Good!¡± Zeus did not retreat, but instead advanced. A wall of lightning instantly appeared, blocking all the space blades. Hades and Poseidon were very well-coordinated. The two of them instantly moved and pounced at Cronus. ¡°Poseidon! Your opponent is me!¡± At this time, Oceanus rose up from the ground and stood before Poseidon. His True God aura revealed itself. Not only did it surprise the gods, but even the Titans were also a little surprised. They did not expect that Oceanus had also broken through to the true God level. However, after that, they were overjoyed. ¡°Kill him!¡± Hyperion was the first to make a move. He charged towards the main forces of Olympus. In an instant, a great battle erupted. All sorts of energies burst forth. The gods watching the battle from afar did not expect the Titans to still be hiding their strength. They could not help but draw in a breath of cold air. The Titan Court was indeed the Titan Court. Its foundation ran deep. If not for this great battle, they might not have known that the Titan Court had another true God besides Cronus who was recovering. Even Lorne laughed. He looked at Cronus and could not help but shake his head. Old Man, I was already sure I was overestimating you. To think that you still had a hidden card. Uriah was also a little emotional and solemn. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect so many gods to break through to the True God realm in recent years! Protoss¡¯ bloodline runs deep! It¡¯s a pity that we have to kill each other!¡± ¡°This is very normal. War is the best catalyst. If it weren¡¯t for this war, Cronus wouldn¡¯t have tried everything to recover his strength, and there wouldn¡¯t have been four more True Gods!¡± Lorne saw it clearly. He knew that this wasn¡¯t the most prosperous of times yet. According to legends in his previous life, Athena and some other main gods would eventually break through to True Gods. That would be the peak of Greek mythology. Cronus was fighting Zeus and Hades alone. He was not at a disadvantage at all, which surprised Zeus and Hades. However, as time passed, the two of them gradually gained the upper hand. ¡°Cronus, the era that belongs to you is over! It¡¯s the era of the Olympian gods now! You¡¯d better get down obediently!¡± Zeus looked at Cronus, who was struggling to resist. Cronus¡¯ expression was unsightly at this moment. He was very angry, which made Zeus and Hades even more invigorated. However, what they did not see was the cold smile in Cronus¡¯ eyes. Yes, this was all part of his plan. He knew that it would be difficult for one person to defeat the combined forces of Zeus and the other two. Even if he had another Oceanus, it would still be difficult to change the situation, in addition, there was Lorne eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. Therefore, he did not want to reveal his true strength, so he still had to hide his fangs. In addition, the three brothers did not seem to be on good terms. As long as he was defeated, internal conflicts would rise up among them for the vacated throne. Then, they would fight each other. When that time came, it would be time for him to unleash his true strength. However, they were not stupid. In addition, there were many gods watching the battle. In order to protect himself, he did not tell anyone. At the same time, he was willing to get heavily injured for the sake of appearances. Therefore, as time passed, Cronus seemingly used all of his trump cards. He was still not a match for Zeus and Hades, and he sustained more and more damage. This made the two of them even more complacent. ¡°Hmph! Judgement!¡± Zeus took the inch and made it a mile, directly sending Cronus flying with one strike. Even as Ocecanus struggled, he was just as stunned as his fellow Titans. ¡°God-King!¡± All of them were very anxious, and their faces revealed despair. ¡°You dare to be distracted while fighting with me! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Poseidon did not hold back at all when he saw this, directly using his most powerful attack. With a cold snort, his power condensed in the air and fiercely smashed into Oceanus¡¯ body. The latter¡¯s expression changed greatly, and he was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and sprinkled it on the ground. The gods were in an uproar, but then they felt that it was only natural. After all, it was already not easy for the Titan Court to be able to hold on until now with three True Gods. The three brothers stood in the air. The main Titans were already wounded. The situation of the war instantly became clear. The Olympians had defeated the Titan Court. Pontus and Ourea had complicated expressions on their faces. Only Lorne frowned. At that moment, he felt that something was not right. Cronus was definitely not that weak? Even if he could not defeat the combined forces of Zeus and Hades, he would not be defeated so quickly, not to mention that his strength was enough to contend against the two of them. ¡°But why would he do that?¡± Lorne could not understand. After all, after this, the Titan Divine Court would really cease to exist. At that moment, a loud shout outside the arena attracted his attention. When he heard the sound, his eyes suddenly lit up and he instantly understood what was going on. The corner of his mouth revealed a mysterious smile..
