Chapter 111: Final Battle
The six Giants had no objections at all; their minds had been completely subdued by Zeus’s power and generosity.
They shouted in unison, their voices deafening: “Esteemed Zeus, your will is our will! We stand ready for your summons at any time, to fight for you!”
Zeus nodded in satisfaction, then explained the specific battle plan to them in detail. After arranging everything properly, he bid farewell to the Lady of Night.
In their contact, there was already an undisguisable intimacy. The soft-hearted Nyx, her expression full of reluctance to part, could hardly hide the unwillingness in her eyes.
Zeus led Hades and Poseidon back to the World.
The taciturn Hades remained as taciturn as ever.
But the usually restless Poseidon had now become equally taciturn.
His originally arrogant face was now filled with dejection and undisguisable frustration.
Originally, Zeus was very strong, and he acknowledged this fact, but he did not think he could not catch up.
But now, facing Zeus who possessed the Great Thunder, facing that Zeus who could split Chaos, ravage the Void, and casually create the World.
He truly did not know what he should do to catch up with such a Zeus.
Zeus’s power had already exceeded the scope of his understanding; he could not comprehend at all why he was so strong?!
Thunder and Lightning in the Cyclops’s hands were absolutely not this strong—even if he had not seen it, he was absolutely certain of this!
If we three brothers are this strong, then the God King would not be Cronus; it would be us three Cyclopes.
The scene just now of Zeus laughing heartily while dominating everything—he did not even dare to think about it; just thinking about it made his divinity tremble with fear.
Having suffered a great blow, he could no longer even talk tough.
And watching the Gods depart, the six Giants huddled their massive bodies together, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, Brontes of the Thunder said in a muffled voice: “The holy Son of Rhea will surely achieve ultimate victory; there is no doubt about this.”
“The power he has shown has already surpassed the limits Cronus could reach. No! It has surpassed the limits imaginable by all Gods!”
Brontes’s eyes were full of fear: “If he wishes, he can completely destroy everything and then recreate everything.”
The other Giants nodded emphatically without hesitation. Having seen the Thunder Zeus, they had no doubt about the truth of this.
Brontes continued: “The future Cosmic Order will after all be Zeus’s order; we cannot afford to offend him or his brothers.”
“The ones who saved us are not only the Great Zeus, but also his brothers. So, thanking only the Great Zeus is not appropriate and unfair. For our future long-term development, we must also thank his two brothers.”
“Let us prepare another thank-you gift for them together.”
The Giants all understood Brontes’s meaning and expressed their agreement.
Anyway, they needed to wait for Zeus’s summons; idling in the Darkness was idling, so they might as well prepare a gift—more gifts are never too many for the Gods.
That Son of Rhea called Poseidon was clearly of an arrogant and irascible temperament; ignoring him would surely create needless trouble in the future.
Not to mention that after enduring torment in Tartarus, the Giants were extremely worldly-wise.
On the Olympus side, during the time Zeus was away, everything was Tranquility.
This was also within Zeus’s expectations.
Under the war rhythm deliberately designed by Zeus, the two sides now proceeded like a turn-based game: whoever took the initiative to attack would be countered by the other side, then wait for the next counterattack.
The departure time Zeus specially chose was right after Cronus attacked Mount Olympus and had just retreated.
Otherwise, if they had just left and Cronus attacked, that would have been a disaster.
Fortunately, Cronus did not suddenly decide to attack again proactively, but instead stayed on strict defense, waiting for the Olympus Gods’ offensive to prepare for a defensive battle.
After Zeus returned, he first secretly told Mother Goddess Rhea and Hestia and the others about the events, then he gathered all the Gods to prepare for the decisive battle!
Any confidential matter is prone to complications if delayed.
The more critical the moment, the more necessary it is to act decisively and swiftly to avoid unexpected issues!
He had not even told Gaia that the Giants had been released.
Zeus was very clear that the original sin of failure is forever Arrogance. Even though he could now easily defeat Cronus, he must resolve him in an instant!
Not only the God King Cronus, but also the other three Primal Titans must be defeated in an instant!
He absolutely could not give them the chance for their divinity to return to the Laws due to a trace of Arrogance!
If it truly failed, that would require far too much effort!
Zeus did not explicitly reveal the full plan to the Gods. Besides Rhea and Hestia and the others, and the few core Gods involved in the Scheme who knew this was the prelude to the decisive battle, the other Gods still thought this offensive was the same as usual, just an ordinary battle.
Many things in this world that determine the future, that are remembered by countless people in the future, were at the time they happened just an ordinary day.
Accompanied by another muffled roar echoing through the Universe, the World trembled and shook violently. Zeus declared his Arrival in the most direct way!
That’s right—he had once again directly crashed into Mount Othrys, collapsing this Divine Mountain, which had been plagued by disasters in recent years, once more and raising dust everywhere!
The Divine Mountain and the Earth groaned together, the sound of pain echoing between Heaven and Earth. Amid this shrill groan, God King Cronus roared and charged out from the endless ashes.
His majestic eyes were full of burning Rage: “Zeus! You despicable little thief! This trick again!”
It was no wonder the God King was so angry; Zeus had done this not just once, not even just twice.
This crude “entrance method” was practically his signature; he showed no dignity as God King and played completely by his own rules.
When he, Cronus, attacked Mount Olympus, he had not toppled it!
The God King cared about face, dignity, propriety, and decorum, but Zeus did not care about that.
This was a Scheme Zeus had prepared long ago!
It was not a rash impulse, so it did not arouse the God King’s suspicion.
The objective was clear: to enrage the God King, forcing him to start the battle directly with him within the World, thus not giving the God King the chance to shift the Battlefield to the Cosmic Starry Sky.
After all, the three Hundred-armed Giants could only exert their maximum power within the World; within Heaven and Earth was their home field.
It was just that this innocent Divine Mountain had been wronged, repeatedly collapsed, and suffered the most undeserved disasters in the God War.
It could not exactly be called undeserved; after all, Mount Othrys under Cronus’s Order had also enjoyed Supreme glory.
As expected, Zeus’s brutal and direct raid did not arouse the God King’s suspicion; after all, it was not just once or twice. Cronus had long grown accustomed to his way of “greeting.”
Everything was even more as Zeus had anticipated; Cronus now felt only intense, overwhelming Anger.
Damnable Zeus, this accursed little thief!
Every time without warning, he struck directly, and often demolished the house outright!
Today, he was holding a Feast with the Gods, eating Ambrosia and drinking wine, singing and dancing, in high spirits.
Suddenly, the house exploded!
Even a God with the best temper could not endure such Humiliation and Provocation.
What’s more, the God King’s temper was never good.
His Tyranny was known to all Gods.
Cronus roared as he charged out. At this moment, he did not want to say another word. His massive Divine Body swelled in Anger, directly revealing his majestic Titan God King true form. Wielding a fist powerful enough to shake Heaven and Earth, carrying incomparably violent power, he struck at Zeus.
Zeus laughed heartily as he met the God King, just like in too many previous battles. Whether in power or Authority, what he displayed was no different, still maintaining the facade of being evenly matched with Cronus.
The other Gods each found their old opponents, as if the endless battle had unfolded once more within the World. The scene was chaotic again, with Divine Power surging everywhere.
Hades still held the rear, ready to support at any time; everything was as usual, continuing the previous stalemate.
After the battle began with the most intense fighting, it once again fell into a stalemate.
Until Zeus confirmed that Cronus had no Defense prepared, and even as the battle entered the familiar stalemate, his mind was somewhat relaxed.
The God King even held back a bit, after all, it was within the World; he did not wish to cause too much harm to the World, mainly to avoid angering the Mother Goddess of All Things again.
Then, in the next instant, the entire World and even the entire Universe suddenly heard a divinity-shaking explosive roar!
Within the entire World, endless Divine Thunder appeared out of nowhere!
It did not appear gradually, but in an instant, a suffocating pitch black covered the entire vast Universe in the most sudden posture!
As if the Universe’s polar night at this moment, carrying the majesty of Judgment, had abruptly descended!
In this moment, the entire World became a complete Dark Clouds Thunder domain!
The firmament shed all Color in the Tremor, leaving only oppressive leaden gray, symbolizing the Arrival of the storm!
Deafening rumbling giant roars rose and fell without end; countless dazzling, blinding Lightning bolts dyed the entire World in nothing but pure white!
Uranus let out a wail in instinct, the Earth Mother Goddess groaned in dizziness.
Countless majestic Mountains collapsed under the pressure, turning to dust; the Abyssal Sea boiled under extreme light and heat, raising towering Giant Waves; the Ocean Currents encircling the World surged with terrifying waves, nearly breaking and dispersing.
Crius could not control the Universe’s fourfold splitting; the endless Starry Sky was collapsing and burning violently everywhere; Hyperion’s divinity shook fiercely, countless Stars exploded one after another, turning into the most brilliant fireworks in the Dark Starry Skies!
The entire Universe’s foundational Structure became fragile and vulnerable before this power!
In just an instant, the Universe seemed to welcome the End of Destruction.
