Chapter 118: Chapter 94 Are you satisfied? (Two in one 6k, added for the League Master 6062111)_2
However, due to the distinctions in godhood, Zeus couldn’t possibly sire tens of thousands of ocean deities with just one spouse like they did. Therefore, he secretly resolved that for the sake of stability in his future divine court, he could only apologize to Metis.
Shaking his head slightly, those were matters to be considered after seizing the throne; Zeus refrained from dwelling on them any further. Now, just one step away from victory, he certainly didn’t want to make a mistake at the last moment.
“It’s about time.”
He gave a slight nod to a few crucial deities within his camp, and Zeus then strode forth. He stood before the assembly of gods, in the high sky in front of Mount of the Gods, under the gaze of all deities of heaven and earth at this moment.
He could feel the eyes of all the gods watching him, watching the being foretold by fate. This sensation of altering the world with every word and deed intoxicated Zeus profoundly. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Although not all those who gazed upon him were convinced of his right to rule, that no longer mattered. Today, he would end the reign of the monarch of the previous era right here.
‘The next era will be mine, and I will do better,’ he thought to himself as Zeus smiled. Composing his expression, he looked at the tightly shut doors of the Divine Palace and delivered the judgment he had long prepared:
“Cronus, my father, I address you this way for the last time.”
With growing intensity, Zeus’s words carried great force. He was already anticipating the look on his Father God’s face.
“You have been faithless to your Mother Goddess, unrighteous to your own brothers, and heartless to your offspring. Cronus, ultimately, all things have responded to this, and they have sent me here to end your brutal reign.”
“Stand forth, like a king and not a coward. I shall render unto you a just verdict as the sovereign of the Olympian godly order.”
Zeus’s voice echoed between the sky and the earth. He noticed a tiny figure at the foot of the mount seeming to look up in this direction. Since earthly matters were insufficient to capture his interest, he withdrew his gaze and focused on the Divine Palace before him.
Zeus felt unease but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, so he resorted to masking it with voice and power. Clenching the divine artifact in his hand, the sacred item filled with Thunder and ‘destruction’ powers, the surging energy, however, failed to soothe the inexplicable unrest.
He looked towards the Divine King, hoping to see fear, anxiety, panic, or rage in his adversary, as this would give Zeus the sensation of impending victory. But there was none. Atop Mount of the Gods, the slender figure didn’t even afford Zeus the courtesy of a fleeting glance.
He stood there, as if the master of all, surveying the gods far and wide.
Or perhaps, he was indeed the master of this world.
Some gods met his gaze, others averted theirs, and some even wore a mocking smile, but Cronus appeared utterly unfazed. He seemed relaxed, not like someone on the battlefield but more like strolling in his own backyard, observing plants intended for others’ pleasure.
And he, the gardener tending to them.
“Quite the gathering.”
After a short while, just when Zeus was about to lose his patience, Cronus spoke.
His deep, magnetic voice carried out. Not loud, but surprisingly, it reached the ears of every deity present.
The other deities showed no reaction; this was merely the Divine King’s swan song, after all, and they were keen to hear what he had to say. Only the Ocean Deity Sovereign’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
As a True God at the peak of powerful deities, he was the only presence, aside from Zeus, to sense that something was amiss. Pity, however, that he too could not identify the source of wrongness.
Divine Authority, the power of space and time, it all pointed to the Cronus he knew. If so, where did the problem lie?
He began to guard against the surrounding area, thinking perhaps the threat came from some other entity.
