Chapter 38: Mount Olympus, Cornerstone Of The New Era
After Zeus and the others left, the gods of the Starry Sky Temple fell into a brief silence.
Crius and the other experienced Titans felt heavy-hearted; they deeply knew the risks and costs of this war.
Meanwhile, the Second Generation Titans were all excited at heart, their gazes flashing with desire for glory and freedom.
As sons of Titans, they should soar through the universe world, but they could only keep a low profile with their tails tucked, living as gods in fear of being dealt with by Cronus.
Humiliation and suppression weighed deeply on their divinity; now they finally had a chance to release it.
They had really been holding it in for too long! Now they finally had the opportunity to show their skills!
Finally, Crius spoke, with the deep advice of a father god and his precious divine wisdom, saying: “Children, when you choose to enter the world, there will be no other choices; you will completely break with the old order.”
“The war with the God King is no child’s play. We can no longer shelter you. You may face an utterly miserable destiny, but this is your own choice.”
“Your future can only be fought for by yourselves. This is your destiny and also your test.”
“Since you have decided to pledge allegiance to the Son of the God King, then go all out to fight side by side with him, leaving no room for retreat.”
“The bonds forged in fighting together on the battlefield surpass family ties; they are shackles cast from blood and fire.”
“If you want to win future honors, if you want the eternal friendship of the God King, then fight alongside the future God King! Prove your worth with your power!”
Crius finally raised his voice: “Go and make all preparations, children. Await the summons of the future God King; the horn of battle may sound at any moment!”
“Yes, Father God!”
The many Second Generation Titans were jubilant, preparing with boundless enthusiasm; they thirsted for that glory belonging to themselves.
They knew very well that everything Zeus promised now would ultimately depend on actual performance.
Even as family, the honors each god could gain would still depend on their own efforts and contributions!
Zeus and Metis arrived at Mount Olympus. They stood side by side on the mountaintop, feeling the pulse of the earth beneath their feet.
Zeus smiled and said: “My dear Metis, please select the location for your Divine Palace.”
“And by the way, select mine too. Ours should be close together; I can’t bear to be too far from you.”
Metis turned a deaf ear; her gaze looked into the distance, her tone calm yet firm: “The God King’s Divine Palace can only be the highest place; that is the symbol of the supreme.”
Zeus burst into hearty laughter, extremely open and hearty; that confidence and heroism infected the entire mountain peak.
He stood at the mountaintop, raising his arms high, and shouted loudly: “Great Mother of All Things! Origin of the world, beginning of all things, origin of the gods! I, Zeus, Son of God King Cronus, Son of Rhea, ask you to show your great power and raise for me the abode that bears the cosmic order!”
As soon as Zeus finished speaking, the Mother of All Things Gaia responded to his request.
The earth began to tremor, and heaven and earth were in turmoil; an awe-inspiring spectacle beyond even the gods’ imagination appeared!
The originally unremarkable Mount Olympus now began to grow rapidly, continuously rising upward, becoming increasingly majestic and towering.
Until it seemed infinitely tall and mighty, piercing straight into the clouds, merging as one with the firmament!
It rose to the same height as the once-unfallen Mount Othrys before stopping its growth.
The new Divine Mountain stood remotely opposite the old throne, dividing the court in rivalry.
The gods of Rhea, who had now arrived in the world, watched this infinitely spectacular scene, all with surging emotions.
The rise of this Mount Olympus symbolized the arrival of a new era!
The great gods of the universe all saw this in their eyes; they knew that a war deciding the destiny of the universe was now inevitable.
From this moment on, God King Cronus’s divine authority was no longer absolutely sole.
Challengers had appeared, and they possessed power to rival it.
The gods descended one after another onto Mount Olympus; Zeus opened his arms and laughed heartily:
“Welcome back to our home! This will be the sacred abode of all gods who thirst for freedom and glory!”
“This is the future center of honor and order in the universe! Rejoice, my beloved siblings! Here, we will together forge the most glorious era!”
Zeus opened his arms to welcome them and laughed as he proclaimed the great declaration.
This scene would forever be etched in the hearts of the gods, becoming an eternal, indelible mark in their hearts.
From this moment, they firmly believed that they would surely achieve victory!
Complete victory!
The gods could see this earth-shaking movement; the God King, not far from them, naturally could see it even more clearly.
The God King was almost laughing with anger; that rage could no longer be suppressed and fully erupted now, surpassing a volcanic eruption.
Fine, fine! He was just worrying about not finding you, and now you dare come to the door—straight to throwing you into Tartarus!
His Majesty the God King unceremoniously rushed to Olympus at top speed; his form was faster than electric light, his body emanating terrifying power of destruction.
The confident God King even came alone; he couldn’t wait to summon the gods to suppress the rebellion together!
He completely disregarded Zeus and his group, eager to personally suppress the rebels! Eager to pour out all his endless rage!
After sulking darkly in the starry sky, Cronus returned to Mount Othrys.
Upon returning, seeing the messy wreckage on Mount Othrys made him even angrier.
The ruined Divine Mountain and the thoroughly destroyed Divine Palace constantly reminded him of the huge losses and humiliation he had suffered.
He had originally planned to summon the gods upon returning and capture Rhea and Zeus and the others across the entire universe.
But seeing the towering Divine Mountain collapsed and the Divine Palace turned to dust, to preserve his remaining face, he had to first repair Mount Othrys, planning to restore the Divine Palace before summoning the gods.
He did consider asking Gaia for help, but ultimately gave up on the idea.
The first reason was naturally face. Having suffered such a big loss and humiliation, how could he bear to show his disheveled state to his gods?
The second reason was that by now he had basically figured out the sequence of this sudden event.
What sudden event was this? Clearly, it was a massive conspiracy!
Without the help of other great gods, how could Rhea alone possibly succeed in her scheme?
Behind this, there must be deeper forces at play.
Among them, the key assistance was Gaia!
Without this Mother of All Things, the Earth Mother Goddess’s help, how could such a great god possibly evade his gaze?
And it was probably not just Mother Goddess Gaia.
Although not yet certain, the Goddess of Night Nyx was very likely involved as well.
So, who else?
At this thought, Cronus’s gaze became extremely sinister and ferocious.
Every moment, he could feel the loss of his own power; the invincible him reduced to this state nearly drove him mad, and profound hatred almost devoured everything around him.
