Chapter 96: Being A God Can’t Be This Bad, Right?
After several consecutive times, God King Cronus, as expected, had already begun to slacken.
And it was not just him; many of the gods on both sides had also become somewhat slack.
It was really because Zeus had done such a good job of lulling the God King into complacency with his actions.
Since the first battle, he had not shown any extra helpers or hidden abilities, and his overall combat power appeared extremely stable.
Moreover, he had not used any tricks outside the rules; everything seemed open and aboveboard.
It was as if he had truly exhausted all his strength, and what remained was to persist relentlessly like this until one side finally admitted defeat and surrendered.
After several campaigns, the gods on both sides had their wins and losses, with no decisive outcome.
But they had all gained some advantages and suffered minor setbacks.
The war between the two sides thus became deadlocked in anxiety, as if it would go on forever without end.
Then Zeus quietly went to seek the Lady of Night.
The final moment was approaching; it was time for the eternal Goddess of Night to make her move!
Even more so, it was time to retrieve his Great Thunder!
When Zeus saw the Lady of Night again, she did not veil her infinite Night temptation with the Night Veil.
She had even deliberately changed into attire that more prominently displayed her charm, making the hazy, exquisite curves of Night faintly visible, exuding fatal attraction.
The noble and aloof Lady of Night, with her gaze overlooking the profound depths, wore an infinitely beautiful smile and said in a clear, cold, and seductive voice: “Ah, renowned Zeus, Great Zeus, is it time to begin the final decisive battle?”
The smile of profound Night was a beauty incompatible with words and writing, possessing infinite alluring charm that made the gods utterly unable to look away.
As the incarnate embodiment of the universe’s most primal, fundamental, and profound Laws of Night, the beauty of her divine body had long transcended mortal definitions, reaching an infinite realm.
But for a Great God like Zeus, he could see more clearly through to the purer, more beautiful essence beneath the Lady of Night’s stunning appearance.
That was the universe’s ultimate Law, even more tempting to the gods!
The incarnation of the Sky would instinctively be deeply attracted by Night’s primal and profound seductive power.
Zeus, who was utterly bewitched just by seeing Night’s smile, responded with a brilliant smile, his voice even carrying a hint of intoxication: “Respected and beautiful Lady of Night, yes, the final decisive battle is imminent.”
“I need your help.”
The elegant Goddess of Night nodded gently in salute, smiling as she said: “Please give the order, Your Majesty the God King; Night will go all out to offer you ultimate victory!”
Zeus, with lust stirring, temporarily set aside the amorousness in his heart and said solemnly: “I am going to rescue Hecatoncheires and Cyclops; I need you to help shield the God King’s sight. This matter must be absolutely secret, without the slightest error.”
Nyx could not help but let out a deep sigh in her heart; the affairs of this world truly cycled in recurrence, and what had happened once was about to happen again, drawing the universe into a similar vortex of destiny.
However, all of this was also within her expectations.
After all, those six Giants were simply too powerful.
They embodied all the advantages of the Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, gods born by the Earth Mother with strong longing to overthrow the Heavenly Father, predestined from birth for battle.
They were the most primal, purest, and most powerful combat gods in the universe.
Any one of the Giants could match the combat power of the Primal Titans, or even surpass it.
With such powerhouses, who would not calculate them into this war that would decide the universe’s destiny?
Yet only Zeus had the possibility of gaining these Giants’ help.
Cronus could no longer obtain their help.
On the current battlefield, once these six heaven-destroying, earth-shattering Giants joined, victory or defeat would be decided in an instant.
The incomparably beautiful Nyx nodded gently; her slender, pale neck faintly glowed with holy light in the darkness, full of Dark Night’s mystery and charm.
She said gently: “No problem, I can do this.”
The Lady of Night raised her final doubt: “Your Majesty the God King, your victory is predestined, but what to do with the former God King?”
“That Your Majesty the God King will never give up power. He is the cornerstone of the universe and cannot be destroyed.”
“If he continues to harass your New Order, this world will never know Tranquility, and chaos and strife will be endless.”
Hearing this, Zeus let out a deep sigh, his expression and tone extremely sorrowful and reluctant: “Dear Nyx, I understand all that you say.”
“This is the second thing I must request of you.”
“Even if I am extremely unwilling, even if my heart is in pain, this is the second thing I must do.”
“For the stability of Cosmic Order, for the world’s lasting Peace of Mind, for the gods and all spirits to enjoy this world with Peace of Mind, I can only cast God King Cronus into Tartarus.”
Although Zeus’s voice carried a hint of “reluctance,” it contained unwavering determination and resolve that allowed no doubt.
“After I defeat the invincible Cronus, I will join with the Giants to restrict the God King’s actions, and the Mother Goddess will delay all the God King’s actions.”
“At that time, I request the Great Night God: please act personally, using Night’s supreme authority to become an absolute curtain of Darkness, temporarily locking the God King’s divinity from escaping, giving me the opportunity to cast him into Tartarus.”
“Not just God King Cronus, but the Titan of Insight and bright Phoebe, as well as the Weaver of Death, must meet the same end.”
Even Nyx, who was always wise and steady-minded, was startled by Zeus’s words—utterly unhesitating, seemingly reluctant yet terrifyingly resolute.
This Son of Cronus, who was about to become the new God King, was clearly no soft-hearted god; he showed no indecisiveness whatsoever.
Being cast into Tartarus was a Punishment far more terrifying than completely annihilating divinity!
Even though she had long known the Son of the God King would not be a weak god, Nyx still felt a chill in her heart, an inexplicable coldness rising from within.
The Celestial Gods were no good gods at all!
The Lady of Night muttered to herself inwardly: After this, the new God King wouldn’t bully me too, would he?
The worried Nyx thought of Hades, then looked at Zeus, and her heart finally settled a bit.
She pondered inwardly: ‘This time we’re bound so deeply, I’ve gone all out; he wouldn’t turn hostile and deny me, would he? Being a god, he can’t be that bad, right?!’
With things at this point, Nyx had no other choice.
Nyx, having steeled her determination fiercely, replied solemnly: “I will obey your Will, for the world’s stability, for the honor of the gods!”
Zeus nodded in satisfaction; with the serious matters discussed, his lust began to stir again, somewhat indulging in Night’s temptation. Suppressing the ripples in his heart, he turned to leave.
Now was not the time to indulge.
