Chapter 101: Great Thunder! I’m Coming!
Everything has been arranged properly, leaving no room for error.
Now is the time to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me.
How can the sky be without thunder and dew?!
My Great Thunder!
I’m here!
Zeus has temporarily returned to Olympus, only informing the Mother Goddess Rhea and Hestia among the Five Gods of this matter in secret. The rest of the gods have not been informed.
A gentleman is cautious and discreet.
Several indiscreet matters will inevitably lead to failure.
The more critical the matter, the fewer gods should know.
He asked the Mother Goddess Rhea to carefully guard Mount Olympus with Hestia, Demeter, and Hera.
He then led Hades and Poseidon, along with Melisseus, directly into the endless darkness underground.
Melisseus is Zeus’s loyal playmate. He cared for Zeus since his childhood, so his loyalty and closeness to Zeus are beyond doubt.
In the past, the Primal Great God of the endless darkness—Erebus, dissatisfied with the Heavenly Father Uranus’s arrogant oppression, had brazenly stirred up a dark storm that swept across the Entire Universe, attempting to reclaim everything he had lost.
Then, then there was no then for him.
No matter how powerful a concept is, no matter how fundamental its essence, if it lacks the most basic spirituality, if it lacks self-consciousness, then what meaning does all existence hold?
Erased of its divinity by Uranus, the darkness has since then only constituted a basic concept of the Universe, no longer possessing independent divine will.
Furthermore, it was creatively utilized by the Heavenly Father Uranus, transforming into the first barrier against Tartarus.
Afterwards, Uranus even more creatively constructed the most sunless and terrifying abyss below the world using darkness.
Today’s darkness possesses only the weakest of instincts, or rather, only a concept that operates according to its own rules.
For this reason, nominal control over darkness fell into the hands of God King Cronus. However, in reality, sufficiently powerful gods could utilize parts of the darkness’s might, with the God King being the strongest among them.
Darkness became a complete tool.
The Lady of Night, having the same origin as darkness, is naturally one of the strongest users of darkness.
However, Nyx is, after all, Night, not Darkness.
The supreme and great authority of Darkness is, in a true sense, masterless!
This is why God King Cronus was so covetous of the power of darkness, and without considering the mood of the Lady of Night, directly attacked and encroached upon the origin of darkness.
Even though darkness has completely fallen silent, it is ultimately the most, most, most fundamental and powerful foundation rule of the Universe.
Only a God King as powerful as Cronus could possibly succeed in encroaching upon its origin and bringing the power of darkness under his control.
Even the Lady of Night would find it difficult to completely encroach upon darkness.
Moreover, even if she could, she would not dare!
If she dared to attack the origin of darkness, the Celestial Pantheon would immediately unite and decisively purge her!
The Celestial Pantheon would never allow Darkness and Night to be in the hands of one god; that would be too terrifying.
All concepts of Light are under the control of the Celestial Pantheon. If they were to truly purge, the Lady of Night would be completely expelled from the world, even beyond the Universe.
Cronus was very successful. He and the flowing movement Mother Goddess Rhea successfully gestated the extremely powerful god of gloom and darkness, who wielded gloom, dimness, obscurity, pitch darkness, and shadows.
All of this ultimately benefited Zeus.
Hades’s power is indispensable for saving the six Giants.
The reason the gods who were cast into Tartarus were able to avoid being completely devoured by the terrifying void of Tartarus and having their divinity annihilated was fundamentally because they retained an “anchor point” within the world’s existence.
This anchor point was the “chains” created using darkness, linked to the deep darkness underground, and connected to the world’s existence itself.
This is the most crucial lifeline for the gods cast into the void.
Without this lifeline to grant them the life of “existence,” they would only be devoured by Tartarus.
To put it figuratively, it’s like a kite; this chain is the kite string. As long as the string is not broken, the kite can still return. If the string breaks, it’s completely finished.
Therefore, the most important thing to release the gods imprisoned in Tartarus is to find this “anchor point” hidden within the endless darkness.
But how easy is that?
Darkness is infinite and endless. If intentionally hidden, truly no one can do anything.
Moreover, the suspicious God King Cronus added a double layer of insurance.
Darkness was already indistinct and chaotic. Within the endless darkness, he specifically dispatched the mist-making Campe to add another layer of concealment.
Campe’s power could create mist in the darkness, blocking all perception and investigation, making the search extremely difficult.
This resulted in even gods who could wield some of darkness’s authority being unable to find the hidden anchor point.
This added layer of insurance was a safeguard against the Lady of Night and Mother Goddess Gaia.
Cronus also knew that the Mother Goddess Gaia and the Lady of Night had always gotten along well, and at least found it easy to share a common enemy.
Although the Lady of Night would not dare to defy Cronus’s will unless absolutely necessary, the God King still took precautions.
The facts proved he was right to do so. If not for this, Mother Goddess Gaia would have already gone to release the Giants.
This is also why even the Great Mother Goddess Gaia is helpless.
She cannot find the anchor point, so no matter how powerful she is, she is unable to act.
If you want to break someone out of prison, you first need to find out where it is.
Now, only Hades, who controls part of darkness’s authority, and Poseidon, who controls part of the authority over seas and oceans, can jointly investigate and find the anchor point connecting the six Giants to the world.
Even so, Zeus and his two gods spent a great deal of time and energy in the endless darkness underground before finally finding the hidden anchor point.
Campe clearly had not faithfully performed her duty.
She was currently lying there, sleeping soundly, her massive body appearing and disappearing in the darkness.
This is understandable; this place is too lonely and boring.
There isn’t even an Underworld yet. The darkness underground is truly a realm of darkness and void, indistinguishable from Tartarus. If she didn’t sleep, she would go mad.
She is a monstrous goddess with extremely powerful combat power, a strong being from the Inner Sea gestated by the Mother Goddess of All Things Gaia and Pontus of the Abyssal Sea.
With such a distinguished lineage, her combat power could not possibly be weak.
Moreover, her appearance alone is quite intimidating.
Her Divine Body is extremely enormous under normal circumstances, approximately ten thousand miles long from head to tail.
From the waist up, her upper body is a normal female upper body and head, with an extremely beautiful and seductive face, and long, smooth, black hair.
If one only looked at her upper body, she could be considered breathtakingly stunning. Even among many goddesses and nymphs, she would be a remarkably outstanding goddess.
Furthermore, her Divine Body is so vast, especially inheriting the great bosom from the Mother Goddess of All Things, it is practically wicked to a divine degree, astonishing all gods!
Two veritable snowy mountains spanning a thousand miles, even the slightest movement would create a spectacle of earthquakes and avalanches, a visually stunning experience.
Perhaps due to the infinite darkness underground, perhaps because she was naturally uninhibited, or perhaps not yet aware of the concept of clothing, she was unconcerned with her appearance.
She was currently completely naked, her enormous Divine Body fully displayed in the void of darkness.
Looking at Campe sleeping in that posture, it was truly enough to make gods dizzy and lightheaded.
However, if one’s gaze shifted slightly downwards, any normal god would immediately regain their senses, and all amorous thoughts would vanish instantly.
Hmm.
However, for some gods, this might not necessarily be the case.
From the waist down, she had a dragon’s body, with a winding lower body and scaled skin. Strange patterns were inscribed on the scales, and dark, hidden lights occasionally flickered beneath them.
Moreover, her tail was forked, a ferocious scorpion tail.
The scorpion tail twitched occasionally, its sharp stinger glinting with a cold, ethereal light. A mere glance at it indicated it was a deadly weapon.
The transition from her originally slender and fair waist to the massive dragon body was an instant and dramatic shift in style.
Around that junction, fifty monstrous beast heads were coiled, each one ferocious and vicious. Ordinary gods would be horrified at the sight, and even Great Gods would find it quite repulsive.
These fifty monstrous beast heads were now sleeping along with their owner, but even in their sleep, they maintained their fierce and menacing postures.
In reality, if it were only this, it would be acceptable. Although strange, it would still possess a peculiar beauty.
The main issue was that below her dragon body, where her feet should have been, there were myriad venomous snakes!
Countless snakes were coiled together, tangled in a mass, their ferocious heads opening and closing incessantly, their scarlet tongues flicking in and out, emitting a hissing sound.
These countless snakes collectively formed her feet. The winding, intertwined bodies of countless types of snakes were enough to cause one’s sanity to drop by tens of percentage points with a single glance.
The chains, formed by darkness to bind the Giants, which served as their anchor points connecting them to the world, were currently wrapped around her tail.
Zeus and Hades glanced down, and both their handsome faces instantly furrowed with a frown, feeling utterly disgusted.
They simultaneously looked upwards, and their moods instantly improved.
They truly could not accept a goddess in such a form; they preferred goddesses with normal divine bodies.
Melisseus was even more terrified and hid behind Zeus.
Poseidon was different!
While looking at the upper body, he was merely somewhat interested.
But upon seeing the lower body, things instantly changed.
His eyes immediately lit up with intense interest, filled with curiosity and excitement!
Without waiting for Zeus to speak, the excited Poseidon stepped forward and unceremoniously shouted to wake Campe.
“Hey, hey, you’re Campe, right? Wake up!”
The awakened Campe blinked sleepily, her charming pupils holding a trace of confusion, not yet fully regaining her senses.
Her massive upper body, which had been propped up, slowly straightened, and the movement was so astonishing that even Zeus, who had seen much, felt his horizons broadened!
Furthermore, unexpectedly, this goddess with a slightly peculiar Divine Body possessed a pair of exceptionally charming eyes.
Merely looking at the alluring glow circulating in her eyes confirmed that she must possess some charm attribute.
