The three people who returned to the peak of Mount Olympus recounted the entire incident without missing a single word. Zeus’ expression was extremely unsightly, and the other gods were also somewhat puzzled.
When did the Hecatoncheires become so unyielding? They even sounded intelligent?
“Bastard! How dare those giants humiliate me like this! After I finish off Father, I will definitely send them into the endless abyss! They will never return!”
Zeus’ handsome face revealed a ferocious expression. He slapped his thigh and gnashed his teeth.
“Looks like I won’t be able to get the help of the Hecatoncheires. What should I do now?”
Poseidon glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
“Looks like we can only continue fighting!”
Hades shrugged lazily.
“Hmph! So what! Without the Hecatoncheires, I can still defeat Father!”
Zeus stood up arrogantly, his voice firm.
Hera, on the other hand, looked less sure. Something was not right! Logically speaking, the Hecatoncheires would definitely agree for the sake of freedom! Why would he refuse? She racked her brains but still could not figure out that the Hecatoncheires were no longer the same, or not even three.
…
On the summit of Mount Othrys.
In the Palace of Titan’s Divine Court, the Titans who had received the news were all laughing incessantly.
Cronus sat at the head of the table. He thought of his three Hecatoncheires brothers and could not help but shudder.
“God-King, why don’t we go and enlist their help to fight against Zeus?”
One of the Titans suggested.
The gods were tempted. After all, Zeus was extremely powerful. They could not defeat Zeus without external aid.
Cronus gave it some thought, but he quickly shook his head and refused.
“No need! Since Zeus has failed, we won’t be expecting my three brothers on either side of the battle! Besides, even without them, I believe that the final victory will still belong to us!”
He was afraid that the Hecatoncheires would hold a grudge against him and take the side of Zeus on his own volition. If that happened, he would be in great danger.
Hence, the two sides resumed a war that was neither won nor lost. The lives of the people were destroyed.
The human world turned into hell. The entire world was shrouded in a divine war. The air was filled with the aura of destruction. Even Gaia, the mother of the Earth, Goddess of Creation, could not help but show up.
There was a hint of doubt on her face. According to the trajectory of fate, her three sons, the Hecatoncheires should have shown up to help Zeus overthrow Cronus’ Divine Court and build a new one.
Now that the Hecatoncheires had remained out of battle, Zeus would not be able to defeat Cronus.
With confusion and doubt, she went straight to core of Tartarus and used her great divine power to search for three days before she found the place where Lorne was imprisoned.
She transformed into her human form and arrived outside the Otherworld where Lorne was imprisoned.
“My children, are you alright?”
Gaia was a little excited at that moment. She was filled with guilt towards her three sons.
Lorne, who was observing his transformation, felt a tremendous divine power aura from outside the space, which surprised him. He was momentarily stunned when he heard the voice.
“Why is she here?”
He did not have any particular feelings towards Gaia. He was just a little curious. After all, he was very interested in the legendary Mother Earth herself.
“You are…?”
“I am your mother, Gaia.”
Gaia quickly answered.
“Mother? Why have you come?”
Lorne raised his eyebrows. He did not welcome her, but he had no reason to drive her away either. Instead, he asked in puzzlement.
“Right now, the outside world is filled with the smell of blood and ash. Countless lives are dying at every moment! I’m here to ask you to go out and save the world, overthrow Cronus’ rule, and build a new Divine Court!”
Gaia had come here in secret, so she was forced to be brief and concise.
From her point of view, the other party would definitely agree to her request.
“I’m sorry! There are countless gods in the world, and they are more suitable for saving the world than me!”
Lorne directly turned her down.
What kind of joke was this? There were many gods in this world, so why did he have to do it?
In his previous life, he had been lost, roaming about, wondering who he was and what was his purpose in life, but in this form, it was pretty clear what he should do.
The world was in chaos, the main actors on the stage being Cronus and Zeus. Both sides were still torn up in an endless war, resulting in endless sins being committed. Many parties had remained out of the fight, unwilling to be tainted with all the destruction.
Therefore, the Hecatoncheires rose up from the calamity and helped Zeus establish a new Divine Court. As a result, he bore endless sins, his divinity was polluted, and his divine standing fell.
“Why? This is your chance! A chance to escape from hell!”
Gaia was very puzzled.
Lorne sneered. “Hmph! This was is now a calamity of the universe. Why should I interfere? Do I look that foolish to you?”
He refused without even thinking, not to mention that he was now at the crucial stage of transformation. After several years of completing his transformation, he was very excited and looked forward to it. He had no interest in the fight between the two sides.
“This…”
Gaia was at a loss when she heard that. “Calamity?”
“That’s right! People’s lives have been plunged into misery. Endless massacres will be committed. Anyone who falls into it will be tainted by Karma. When that happens, it would get extremely troublesome.”
Lorne retorted without holding back.
“Karma?” Gaia was a little puzzled when she heard this word.
“That’s right! Everything in the world is driven by causality. Once it is tainted by cause and effect, it will lead to endless trouble. For example, I help Zeus defeat Cronus. Cronus would return for revenge in the future, or the gods related to Cronus will seek revenge on me. Trouble and more trouble!”
Gaia was rendered speechless. In the end, she could only leave hell helplessly.
In the end, Lorne focused his consciousness back to the giant egg. After nearly ten years of incubation, the devouring and fusion was finally complete.
A body of energy that was filled with encircling halos had already formed within the giant egg. The Hecatoncheires had long vanished. Lorn felt as if his entire body had been transformed by this energy…
He sank into endless darkness. His entire soul and the body of energy began to fuse.
Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the shell of the giant egg gradually disappeared, and a man in human form slowly stepped out.
This man was ten thousand feet tall, like a human magnified thousands of times.
His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was like a gift from the creator. His facial features were perfect, and his long golden hair fell on his shoulders, as if he was a god made into reality.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his entire world was filled with color..
