After hearing Zeus’ reply, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, and the others behind him glared at Cronus. Their eyes were filled with fire. After all, they had all been swallowed by Cronus. If not for Zeus’rescue… they would have remained in his belly!

“Hmph! If that’s the case, do not fault me for what is to come!”

When Cronus heard this, he knew that his children were truly determined to rebel. He flew into a rage.

“Attack! Bring me Zeus!”

Cronus directly drew out his divine sword and waved it forward. Immediately, the Titans behind him charged.

Zeus and the others were not willing to be outdone. They rushed into the sky and charged towards the Titan.

From that moment, the sky and earth cracked, the mountains and rivers lost their color, and all living things died.

The gods fought until the sky and earth turned dark. Countless drops of blood rained down on the earth. Cronus personally moved in to capture Zeus, but he was halted by Poseidon and Hades.

…

In the palace at the top of Mount Olympus.

Zeus and the other gods took their seats one after another. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and solemn.

“Age has not weakened Father and the other Titans in the slightest! We won’t be able to defeat him even if we continue fighting! Does anyone here have any ideas?”

Zeus asked in a deep voice when he saw this.

Although Poseidon and Hades were eager, they were still helpless when they saw the situation.

“That’s right! God-King Cronus came from powerful beginnings. His power runs deep. If we continue fighting, I’m afraid we won’t be able to overthrow his rule!”

Many gods shook their heads.

“If we continue fighting, the entire world will be destroyed. We do not want to attract the attention of the Primordials when they’ve seen enough.”

“What is it then, we surrender? Be devoured by Father again or be expelled into the Endless Abyss?”

“Impossible! We will not surrender even if we die! We will resist to the end!”

Many gods spoke up. The six siblings led by Zeus turned down the prospect of surrendering, their resolve firm and unyielding.

What kind of joke was this? They had just escaped danger, so how could they surrender again?

For a moment, the entire hall fell into silence.

All of a sudden, the eyes of a beautiful woman beside Zeus lit up, as if she had thought of something.

“Zeus, I have an idea!”

She whispered to Zeus, and immediately, all the gods in the hall looked over.

Zeus was delighted. He looked at his wife and asked in surprise, “Hera, my baby, what do you have in mind?”

“Legend has it that many ancient gods were banished from the endless abyss of Tartarus. Legend has it that the First God-King Uranus once gave birth to three monsters. Uranus frowned upon them and banished them to the hell of Tartarus.

“According to the Divine Records, the three of them have strange and terrifying bodies. They each have fifty heads and a hundred giant hands. They are known as Hecatoncheires. They are like wild beasts, but they have endless strength and immense divine power. Now that they have been banished to Tartarus, as long as we get their help, we should be able to defeat the Cronus Divine Court, right?”

Hera saw the anticipation in her husband’s eyes. She smiled and slowly told him her plan.

The gods in the main hall frowned and began to think. Many of the gods’ eyes lit up. They all knew this tale well, but it had not crossed any of their minds just yet.

“That’s right! It is said that Uranus not only hated their looks, but he was also afraid of their strength. That’s why he exiled them upon birth. It seems that they are very powerful!”

“If we free the Hecatoncheires and obtain their loyalty, we will definitely be able to overthrow the Titan Court!”

“That’s right. When the time comes, we will defeat Cronus in one fell swoop and build a new court!”

The gods expressed their opinions one after another. They were very excited.

When Zeus heard the last part, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his heart. Build a new court? Would that not make him a new God-King?

This was something he had never thought of before. A huge ambition began to fill his heart.

“Alright! Send someone to talk to my three uncles first! Reel them into our camp!”

Zeus was also unusually excited at this time and made a decision immediately.

Thus, he sent three confidants to Tartarus to find the Hecatoncheires.

…

At that moment, in Tartarus.

Lorne was feeling extremely bored. He had been in the form for too long and was extremely bored of this unknown space.

He decided that he was going to take a good look at this mythical world after he transformed.

At this moment, three auras suddenly came from outside the space, which surprised Lorne. He had been in this world for so long and no one had come to look for him.

“Excuse me, are you the Hecatoncheires?”

Not long after, a loud but nervous voice came from outside. Lorne frowned.

“I am them! Who are you? How dare you barge into Tartarus?”

“We are here to rescue you!”

Lorne’s heart skipped a beat. Rescue him? Huh? Could it be Zeus?

It seemed like they were in the middle of their war with the Titans.

“Oh? Rescue me?”

Lorne immediately guessed their identities, but he still pretended to be confused.

“That’s right. We are Sir Zeus’ subordinates. We have been ordered to release you.”

Upon hearing Lorne’s confusion, one of the people in the space outside was instantly overjoyed.

“Who is Zeus?”

“Sir Zeus is the son of God King Kronos, and also your nephew.”

“Why save me now?”

“Sir Zeus is currently resisting Cronus’ rule. Knowing that Cronus has imprisoned you here, he has specially invited you to join us! Together, we will overthrow the court of Kronos!”

Upon hearing the other party’s words, Lorne instantly understood what was going on. He could not help but sneer. That boy Zeus was in trouble.

He wants to borrow my power?

If it were the Hecatoncheires from before, they would definitely agree in the name of freedom, right?

The three people outside waited for a long time but did not hear Lorne’s voice. They were a little puzzled.

“Great Hecatoncheires, are you willing to join us? After defeating Cronus, you will take his place as one of the greatest gods! We can take this opportunity to expel Kronos into the endless abyss! Take revenge!”

It was a tempting offer.

“There’s no need. I will take revenge myself!”

Lorne refused without even thinking.

What a joke. The one who imprisoned him was Uranus. If he wanted revenge, he would have to look for Uranus. These guys actually wanted to use him against Cronus?

Lorne’s refusal was something the other three had not expected. They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

“Hecatoncheires? Don’t you want to be free? As long as you agree to join us, Sir Zeus will do his best to save you!

“Get lost! I can release myself if I want to! Why would I need your help? Begone with the useless talk, a mere child of Zeus wants me to pledge loyalty to him? Ridiculous!”

Lorne’s words were full of disdain for Zeus, causing the three people outside to change their expressions. They knew that it was impossible to get the help of the Hecatoncheires! They walked away crestfallen..
