Chapter 6

Lorne was stunned. He could not help but look up. The god on the right appeared to be middle-aged and was staring at him with a displeased expression. He was the one who had scolded him just now.

This was… Cronus?

The young man on the left was Zeus, and the faction on the right was Cronus.

But he did not seem to have any bad blood with this guy, right? Why was he being called out like this?

This fellow was really narrow-minded, or rather, arrogant.

After all, as the current God-King, his might was insurmountable. When other gods saw him, they were all submissive and very polite.

But what did this have to do with him?

“None of your business!”

God-King, my ass! You’re not almighty. Besides, if I had interfered in the war, I would have already toppled your throne!

Why are you still putting up an act in front of me?

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Cronus had not expected this young god to be so defiant. Cronus was stunned at first, but his face immediately darkened.

I, the mighty God-King, am being insulted in public? My dignity has fallen in their sights!

I’m so angry!

Cronus’ eyes seemed to spew fire as he stared intently at Lorne.

Lorne did not back down. He even raised his eyebrows as if to say, “Come and hit me if you have the ability!”

The Primordials, Ourea, Zeus, and the others stood watching the show, looking mildly entertained.

Lorne grew even more confident when he saw none of them taking action. Apart from Ourea, the others were no threats to him.

Ourea quietly used his immense divine power to observe Lorne’s being but was unable to read anything. Surprise briefly flickered past his features.

Lorne remained completely unaware of the attempted probe. At that moment, he was still not done being crossed with that withering old thing, Cronus.

If he truly wanted to pick a fight with him, he would directly jump to Zeus’ camp. By then, he would see if the old man’s tear ducts still functioned.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Cronus. At most, he could always jump to another Divine Court.

From the very beginning, he was already in an invincible position.

If Cronus knew what he was thinking, he would definitely not offend him. Unfortunately, he was incapable of reading minds.

Cronus’ face was livid, and the Titans behind him looked equally gloomy. Now that all the gods were watching, they had to demonstrate a show of strength, or they would have nowhere to show their faces in the future.

“How dare you! How dare you disrespect the God-King!”

One of the older Titans could not help but berate him.

“Oh? You call that being disrespectful?”

Lorne glanced at him and drawled.

Such a tone angered the Titan to the point where his aura sent ripples through the air. When could not take it any longer and rose up, Cronus stopped him.

“Who are you? How dare you disrupt the meeting? What are your intentions?”

Cronus did not start moving just yet. He merely questioned.

Having been a God-King for eons, he had developed more than one method of dealing with his adversaries.

This time, they were present in a formal meeting of gods. He would use the law and ruling of the place to suppress Lorne. When Lorne admitted that he had indeed intruded on the place, the Primordials would take action to drive him out and ensure that the meeting went on as usual.

Lorne gave Cronus a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of the God-King who had ruled over the Divine Court for countless years. His every move was calculated and planned.

“Haha! What a joke! Who is the one who is disrupting the meeting? I was only late for a moment, yet you could not wait to jump out and call me out, God-King? I don’t remember having any bad blood with you!”

Lorne pointed at Cronus and could not help but laugh out loud before mocking him.

Cronus’ expression changed drastically. Not only him, Ourea and the other neutral gods spun around to stare at him, as if they were trying to discern if this was true or false.

Zeus and the Olympian gods also praised Lorne for his words in their hearts.

“Hmph! What a glib tongue! Your name does not seem to be included in this meeting, right?”

Cronus had not expected his words to be used against himself. He quickly retorted as not to lose more dignity before the crowd.

“Why not? Aren’t all ancient gods allowed to participate? I think I qualify too, right?

Lorne shook his head. “My name is Lorne! I’m from the second generation of gods!”

Upon hearing Lorne’s name, the gods were stunned. They had never heard of this name, and Cronus could not help but sneer.

“How dare you quibble! The First may have been exiled, but I have never heard any of the second-generation gods ever reciting your name! Tell me the truth! Who are you exactly?”

Cronus pointed at Lorne and said coldly.

Ourea narrowed his eyes.

The atmosphere instantly froze, and the gods present looked at Lorne with suspicion.

Surprisingly, Lorne did not look the least bit flustered. He even snapped back, “Who says so? Others can forget, but you, Cronus, can’t forget! Could it be that you’ve forgotten your three older brothers?”

Lorne’s words were mysterious, puzzling the other gods. Cronus was also stunned. He frowned deeply, not understanding Lorne’s words, but suddenly, his expression changed. With shock and confusion, he pointed at Lorne and said, “You… you… You are… the Hecatoncheires?”

As soon as he said that, the gods were stunned and looked at Cronus in disbelief.

The first word in their minds was ‘impossible’!

The Hecatoncheires were grotesque and were now locked in Tartarus. Lorne was so young and handsome. They bore absolutely no similarities. How could he be the Hecatoncheires?

“That’s right! I was once three, and we three were the Hecatoncheires!”

Lorne shocked Cronus with his next words.

Ourea could no longer hide his shock. He racked his brains for a long time but still could not make sense of this statement. Cronus was flabbergasted. He could not help but take a step back, his face filled with disbelief.

“Impossible! You are definitely not the Hecatoncheires! You still dare to quibble at this point?!”

Cronus glared at Lorne furiously.

“Old coot, I was kind enough to identify myself! You had no business even asking my name!”

Lorne’s face instantly turned cold. His divine aura leaked into the surroundings as he prepared to attack.

“Stop!”

Ourea had remained where he was, lost in confusion, but when he sensed the familiar divine aura, he quickly stopped the two of them from fighting.

“Cronus, he’s right. He’s really the Hecatoncheires. All three of them. Can’t you recognize his aura?”

Ourea shouted at Cronus.

The latter paused in shock before stopping to sense the power. His face blanched. It was really a familiar aura. Such intense, destructive force belonged to no other than the Hecatoncheires.

When the gods saw Cronus’ reaction, they immediately understood. Lorne was really the Hecatoncheires. Each of them was filled with disbelief.

“Hecatoncheires, how did you become like this?”

Ourea looked at Lorne and asked curiously.

“Call me Lorne from now on!” Lorne emphasized his name and did not bother explaining.

“Now I have the right to participate in the meeting, right?”

“Of course!”

Ourea’s mouth twitched and he nodded.

Cronus’ expression was very ugly when he heard that, but he looked at Lorne fearfully and did not object.

Hence, the meeting continued, but the gods would steal glances at Lorne from time to time.

Especially Zeus. When he found out that Lorne were the Hecatoncheires that had turned him down, he was also a little gloomy. However, when he thought of Lorne’s terrifying power, he did not do anything..
