Chapter 27: For Whom Does The Death Knell Toll?
The fourth one to be severed out was White-armed Hera of Reproduction and Fertility.
That glamorous Hera with bright eyes, wearing Golden Boots.
Her flawless divine body emanated the radiance and warmth of motherhood, her impeccable beauty majestic yet serene.
The fifth was the great Mother Goddess of Agriculture and Harvest, the gentle and kind Demeter.
Her aura carried the fragrance of Earth, her reappearance brought joy to the entire Earth, and instantly the land was filled with harvest and prosperity.
Up to the sixth, Hestia of the Origin of Fire, the beautiful and warm goddess, the eternal symbol of Life and Civilization.
Thus, the gods who were gestated and devoured were once again differentiated under Zeus’s severance of authority.
They regained new life, awakened from the nightmare, reclaimed their self, and embraced Light once more.
After this ordeal, Hestia became the youngest elder, while Zeus became the oldest youngest.
It was as if the curse of the youngest son overthrowing the God King was ended in this moment.
Destiny had arranged everything long ago.
All the laws devoured by Cronus were severed out anew, and the power and divine power he had painstakingly accumulated over countless years were also taken away by nearly half by the five gods!
This was no longer just years of schemes ruined in an instant, but a heavy loss.
He had fallen into his weakest state, and only a God King whittled down to near death like this had any chance of being defeated.
The one and only opportunity, Zeus seized it precisely.
Even simpler than imagined.
The God King and his Father God Uranus were truly of the same lineage.
Even the God King’s arrogance was learned to perfection.
The arrogant God King truly had no defense.
However, even though the God King was already in such a miserable state, it wasn’t over yet.
Zeus continued, showing no mercy, even severing out the “Harvest” authority connected to his own origin and fusing it into himself.
And the God King’s faltering Courage was also stripped away entirely and absorbed.
Unfortunately, the attempt to act on the most important Law of Creation did not succeed; this instant of time had already passed.
Zeus decisively stopped, shouting loudly: “Go!”
His voice was like startling Thunder, exploding in the Divine Palace, carrying an unquestionable command that echoed in the ears of the reborn gods.
His current state was less than a third of his prime, the gods had just been “birthed” again, their power not yet fully mastered; it was not the time to act.
The gods who had just regained consciousness did not hesitate, immediately following Zeus to swiftly flee Mount Othrys.
Although they were devoured, it did not mean they were ignorant.
Law Gods were beings who knew innately, and their spirituality had not been dispersed; they could already perceive the world during gestation.
Moreover, inside the God King, they could see and sense far too much.
All the gods knew the God King’s power clearly; if they didn’t leave now, it would be too late!
Even the God King Cronus, now weakened to the extreme, was not something they could easily deal with at this moment.
After all, they were also at their weakest now, their newly restored bodies not yet fully adapted, their power far from its peak.
Even the five gods just severed out were at the best moment to be devoured back by the God King.
The objective had now been fully achieved; they could not afford complications—who knew what the enraged God King would be like.
Sure enough, as soon as the gods flew out of the Divine Palace, they heard a earth-shattering roar like a landslide and tsunami.
That was the God King’s roar, shaking every corner of the Universe; in an instant, countless mortals were burned to Void by the God King’s rage.
Zeus flew above Mount Othrys, shouting: “Mother Goddess, go!”
Rhea, who had long been prepared, followed without hesitation right away.
The deed was done; she could no longer hide, nor did she need to endure humiliation any longer—staying on Mount Othrys was too dangerous.
Zeus would not allow her to bear Cronus’s rage alone; that was not something Rhea could withstand.
A chilling cold smile curled at Zeus’s lips, with a hint of pleasure; only now did the endless pressure on his head dissipate by a large margin.
The most important step had succeeded, but the matter was not over; before leaving, he still had to do one more earth-shattering deed.
Without hesitation, with speed surpassing ordinary light speed, tearing through Space, he used his indestructible divine body to fiercely and directly crash into the highest peak of Mount Othrys.
That was not a simple collision, but a clash of laws and will.
The immensely towering and magnificent Mount Othrys, the Divine Mountain representing the God King’s majesty, collapsed with a thunderous crash under Zeus’s overwhelming strike!
The enormous mountain body shattered, as if the entire Solar System was exploding; crushed stone fell like countless Stars, the billowing dust shrouding the entire World!
The Earth trembled violently, groaning in pain as if being torn apart.
The terrifying crash resounded through the World, echoing in every corner.
As if tolling the death knell for the end of the corrupt order, sounding a dirge for the fall of the old Era.
That was the knell tolling for the God King.
Before leaving, Zeus had smashed down this mountain symbolizing the God King’s supreme authority, representing the Order Center of the Universe!
This was not merely physical destruction, but utter contempt and humiliation toward Cronus’s supreme status! The most thorough strike and harm!
Cronus, still struggling in anger and disbelief, had no time to react; he watched helplessly as the symbol of his authority crumbled and turned to ruins.
Even so, the God King’s thoughts were immersed in deep anger and disbelief; that shock like a sharp blade pierced deeply into his heart, making him unable to accept everything before his eyes.
He, this God King, held authority over Creation, Agriculture, Growth, Harvest, Harvest, Abundance, Prosperity, Harvest, Courage, Fertility, Reproduction, Fire, Sea, Darkness, Shadow, and so many powerful laws—this was the supreme power to rule the Universe.
But so many laws, in this one instant, lost the vast majority; in this moment he was beaten back to his original form! Power plummeted, majesty gone!
And the divine power accumulated over countless years lost nearly half! The loss of power made him feel unprecedented weakness and Emptiness.
This terrifying loss was completely unacceptable to Cronus.
He painfully suspected if he was still in a drunken dream, if this time he was too drunk, and all this was just an absurd illusory dream in his intoxication.
Smashing Mount Othrys was not enough; Zeus also casually tossed Philyra, hidden in one peak of Mount Othrys—this “dutiful daughter” who dared to challenge the Goddess Queen’s authority—mercilessly under the slowly collapsing peak.
