Chapter 31: Storm Clouds Gather
Zeus stated the core issue, “The God King is the foundational laws of the world. He can never be destroyed. My severance can only separate the later laws that he devoured.”
“I tried with the God King’s laws themselves and could not shake them at all. Moreover, the laws cannot be destroyed. The Father God is the foundation of the world. Once destroyed, even the world will collapse.”
As Zeus’s words fell, the gods looked at each other, silence without words.
They hadn’t thought of destruction; that was almost impossible.
But how to handle it—this was indeed the biggest problem. Defeating the God King was easy, but destroying the Law God was too difficult.
Especially once the Law God abandons the divine body, with spirituality returning to the essence of the world’s laws, becoming formless and intangible, then no one has a method.
Except the Lord of Spirituality, the incarnation of heaven—no one who wants to thoroughly eliminate the Law God can do so easily.
Or rather, it is almost impossible.
At this time, the always silent Hades spoke up: “Then there is only one method.” His voice was low and calm, carrying his characteristic indifference and chill.
“Imprison the Father God’s spirituality within the divine body, then cast the divine body into Tartarus, just like the six giants.”
Hades’s proposal was cruel, yet it was currently the only feasible method.
All the gods nodded; this was a good idea, difficult but with direction.
But how to imprison the spirituality within the divine body?
Then they all turned their gazes toward Mother Goddess Rhea.
Rhea naturally knew what they meant. She didn’t mind casting Cronus into Tartarus. At this point, it was already a matter of you die or I live, with no third path available.
Choosing the child or choosing the husband—this was no longer a choice.
She gently shook her head and said, “I alone cannot do it; I still need the Lady of Night’s help.”
“And for us to restrict the God King, it can only be done when the God King has no power to resist at all.”
“When he has no power to resist, the Lady of Night and I act together. I sever all his movements; the Lady of Night severs all his connections with the world.”
“Then take the opportunity to cast him into Tartarus, with chains controlled in the night. Even if he recovers then, it will be useless.”
“As long as no god helps, no one can escape Tartarus.”
“Achieving this is extremely difficult—not only to defeat him, but to leave him with no ability to resist, and to act before he abandons the divine body.”
All the gods furrowed their brows tightly; only Zeus gently nodded.
He smiled and said, “Not afraid if the method is difficult—as long as there is a method, it’s good.”
“As long as the Father God still wants to be the God King, he won’t easily abandon the divine body. As long as we don’t let the Father God feel utter despair, he won’t give up immediately.”
“We will have one opportunity, but only one. We must act only after having absolute certainty.”
Zeus looked around at the gods and said solemnly, “The gods should already know everything that happened. You all hide well first, familiarize yourselves with your powers, accumulate divine power. I will go seek help from the gods.”
Mother Goddess Rhea volunteered: “Zeus, I will go with you; this might be better.”
Zeus pondered for a moment, then nodded. The other gods also nodded in recognition.
The gods were not coy deities. With the matter decided, they each took action.
The first stop was naturally Ocean God Oceanus.
This Leader of the Titans had formidable strength and vast forces, and more remarkably, a good temperament. Many Titans respected this great god encircling the world; his prestige was extremely high.
Even better, he and his wife were sworn enemies of Cronus—this was perfect.
Moreover, this success could not have been achieved without the key help of Daughter of the Ocean Metis. Now that the matter was done, it was only right to visit this Ocean God first, both emotionally and rationally.
As long as Oceanus’s help was secured, it would mean three of the twelve Titans were already on their side.
Adding the basically confirmed Earth Mother Goddess and Lady of Night, they could already openly challenge Cronus.
Moreover, Oceanus could not be unaware of Metis’s help. As long as within the ocean, nothing could be hidden from him and his wife.
Since he knew but did not stop it, this already showed his attitude.
Now they had already made a name by stepping on the God King, tearing open the God King’s invincible face.
Now that war was openly declared, the Ocean God should make the correct choice.
This earth-shattering event had already spread throughout the entire universe; all gods knew of it, truly known everywhere.
That supreme, towering Mount Othrys had collapsed with a roar by half; the entire world trembled, and the crashing sound was like the universe’s wailing.
The high call that followed, the arrogant laughter carrying the victor’s enthusiasm, clearly reached every god’s ears.
Then came that God King’s furious, heaven-shaking roar.
Although all the great gods were still unclear on the details, they all knew what had happened.
The first god in countless years to resist the God King had stood up.
And had severely wounded the God King, successfully escaping.
All gods knew that the war from which no god could stay out was about to begin.
This was the final decisive battle concerning the future direction of the universe.
Would a new era arrive, or would the old era continue?
In this upheaval, where should every god go?
For a time, countless great gods had complex thoughts, surging waves in their hearts.
They gathered all their spirits, held their breath in concentration, watching everything that might happen next.
Waiting for the storm sweeping the universe to finally descend.
Zeus and Rhea headed straight for Oceanus’s divine palace this time.
As long as they met Oceanus, they could naturally find Metis.
However, what he never expected was that this visit to the ocean current brought a very enthusiastic welcome.
Many Daughters of the Ocean were extremely enthusiastic, even more so than those encountered before.
He sighed inwardly: the Daughters of the Ocean were truly full of fervor. Having vented anger for their father god, they were all so proactive and enthusiastic, each one a warm good girl.
Zeus did not yet know that besides the reason of helping Oceanus vent his anger, there was another important reason: Metis’s flower crown made them too envious.
Nowadays, male gods like Zeus were truly too rare.
Powerful and handsome, good personality, generous in action—gifting a world-exclusive limited edition! Simply a rare species among the gods.
Daughters of the Ocean were already passionate and open by nature, naturally even more active and initiative.
The moment Zeus and Rhea stepped into the ocean current, Oceanus and Tethys already knew of their arrival.
They personally came to welcome Zeus and Rhea, their attitude very clear.
God King Cronus was not the Ocean God’s friend.
But Son of Cronus Zeus was.
