Chapter 133: Chapter 103 Descent to the Mortal World
“Heh, so that’s it.”
“It seems you’ve encountered trouble, my dear brother, so much so that even this little power you must take back? If I weren’t right here, it’s quite possible you would have deceived me too.”
“But rest assured, to thank you for your past favor, I’ll soon contribute to your ‘might’.”
The seals around him became increasingly incomplete; or rather, its insides had long been hollowed out. Hyperion stretched his body slightly, and with a series of resounding echoes, the final chains of the seal were also dispersed. In nearly an instant, as the ancient God of Sun’s power was unbound, the great Sun changed hands in a moment, returning to the embrace of its former master.
Originally, Hyperion’s retroactive actions had repulsed the Sun, but Helios’s crafting of the Sun Chariot with Godhood was even more unacceptable to this supreme celestial body. A Divine Artifact to drive the Sun was liked by the Divine King, by the other deities, and by the laws of the current world, but the only one who did not like it was the Sun itself.
The Sun, how could it submit to being under someone!
“Hahahaha… That’s right! Cronus and even my foolish son, they do not understand you, but I do.”
With a soft whisper and a wild smile, feeling the Sun’s accumulated ‘dissatisfaction’ over thousands of years, Hyperion heartily invited his ‘old friend’.
“Come now, cast aside the laws of this current world. Let’s together stage a grand spectacle to announce the return of the Ruler of the Stars!”
At this moment, the starry sky was uninhabited, especially near the Sun.
It was as if they had long anticipated what was to occur, the stars of the Zodiac Regions had already concealed themselves. The stars they represented were still hanging there, but that’s because they were the projection of the Spirit Realm’s stars into the outer space.
Just like the Nether Moon, which seemed to hang above the Underworld but was in fact untouchable to any deity.
Besides, among the deities of the starry sky, the Goddess of Light took refuge in the Light regions, the deities of the Lightless celestial bodies never made a display, the God of the Sky and Goddess of Daylight remained uninvolved with the world, and thus in the heavens, unnoticed, silently, the great Sun changed masters once again.
Only Helios, who had long since ‘defected’ in secret and was hiding in the Sea Palace with his wife, the Goddess of Boiling Water, noticed the change in the Sun’s sovereignty.
But at this time, he was already too concerned to care about these matters. That supremely majestic vision on the horizon almost scared him out of his wits, and the youthful God of Sun truly couldn’t believe that the Divine King, who had appeared increasingly dejected in recent years, could suddenly erupt with such power.
If I had known you were this outrageously strong, I would definitely have been your most loyal and unrivaled subordinate!
However, no one cared what he thought, or rather, now many gods shared his sentiment. They were confident in their siege of Mount Othrys, even privately discussing the division of spoils after the battle and how to limit the new Divine King’s influence, but none of them expected that all their actions were a joke in the eyes of the supreme being on Mount Othrys.
In a single encounter, without any significant divine power fluctuation, the Divine King still single-handedly subdued the deities. This unparalleled power made the Titans present recall the past, how Heavenly Father Uranus, too, had been this way, even in the last moments of the current world, he still suffocated the deities to breathlessness.
Ten thousand years have passed; they had become stronger. The Titans believed that even if they faced Heavenly Father again, they would still have the power to fight, but reality told them, nothing had changed.
The Divine King is still the supreme of the world.
“Think of something! Zeus, you have been chosen by fate as the Divine King, quickly think of a solution!”
“The Mother Goddess is no match for him, now only you can change the outcome!”
His body trembling slightly, the Ocean Deity Sovereign had lost his past grandeur, and his voice was somewhat out of character, nothing like his usual imposing and steady self. At this moment, Oceanus remembered his own past, how just under his father’s gaze, he knelt before the Heavenly Father, proving he would dare not challenge him.
Now stronger than before, he felt no different in the face of the new Divine King. Even if he hadn’t known that his submission would not be accepted, he would have surrendered long ago.
But whether to give up was meaningless, the impact he had on ‘Cronus’ was almost nil. Now, Zeus was his last lifeline. Despite the fact that the other’s power was not enough to change the course of the battle, he represented the Prophecy of fate and the curse of the Heavenly Father.
“I will do my best.”
With a forced smile, Zeus clutched at the wounds on his body, trying to heal.
Perhaps because of Mother Earth’s arrival, the Divine King no longer focused on these ‘weaker’ deities, giving them a respite around the Mount of the Gods.
Feeling his ‘father-in-law’s’ somewhat uncontrollable emotions, Zeus reminisced about the Titans’ original title. If the Titans of yesteryear were so submissive in front of the Heavenly Father, it was no wonder that he disdainfully bestowed upon them the title ‘Titan’.
But thinking was one thing, and the current opposing party was after all an ally to him. However, when Zeus tried to offer some words of comfort, he searched his mind and couldn’t find a single thing to say.
After all, faced with such a situation, he really couldn’t think of any variables left to consider.
In the past, except for that one setback in the hands of the red-haired witch, Zeus had it all smooth sailing, everything going his way. He married the most intelligent goddess and even entangled with her sister. Being forced into the Abyss, the strength of the Hekatonkheires during the ten-year war made him feel it was all worth it, until now.
He couldn’t understand, if Cronus had possessed such power before, why did he confront them for so long instead of toppling Olympus with an invincible stance on the first day of the war, making it clear that the Divine King’s authority was unquestionable?
He didn’t even need to wait until then. Early on, when he rescued his five siblings, the Divine King could have shown Gaia with absolute power that whatever the giants were, they were not my brothers; they were merely a bunch of monsters. What you think they are doesn’t matter, what matters is what I say they are, and that’s what they are.
I don’t want the giants to leave the Abyss, then they will stay obediently there. I want these rebels in my belly, then no one can let them out.
“Perhaps this was just a way for him to satisfy his own amusement.”
“He never cared about me, my struggles and efforts, they were just a joke in his eyes.”
Somewhat powerless, but Zeus still gripped the Arrow of Thunder tightly. He would never speak of surrender until the very last moment.
“Wait, what’s that?”
Suddenly, a voice filled with puzzlement and surprise sounded.
Looking towards the source of the voice, at his ‘father-in-law’s’ side, the original Goddess of Water was gazing up at the sky.
