Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 459 Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!

"You monsters of the old era, instead of staying in hell, you dare to come out? It seems it's time to remind you of the taste of thunder." Zeus's thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire sacred Mount Olympus.

In the sky, dark clouds once again enveloped the heavens. Zeus unleashed his divine power, gathering a sky full of thunderclouds, preparing to let these damned 'traitors' who had cooperated with the enemy to experience the wrath of the god-king.

Honestly, the feud between the second-generation Titans of the Greek pantheon and the third-generation gods like Zeus is incredibly intense, even within the realm of mythology.

The second-generation god-king Cronus was a bastard, and the third-generation god-king (emperor) Zeus was a beast. Don't be fooled by their seemingly moral high ground and righteous words; from Downs' perspective, they are all the same kind of trash.

Since Odin went to great lengths to help Towns penetrate deep behind enemy lines and successfully instigate trouble, Towns wouldn't waste his good brother's good intentions.

He rose from his throne, and as soon as he moved, the gods below the steps hurriedly followed suit.

"That's Cronus, the former king of the Olympian gods who had a deep-seated grudge against Zeus. His rule was overthrown by Zeus's good son." With this simple sentence, he explained the cause and effect. Then, he added, "However, this fellow is a bit weak. I'll send an avatar with me. You all come along!"

"Yes, Your Majesty—" In the hall, over a thousand deities bowed in unison, chanting Downs' holy name.

The current spatial passage has limited capacity to hold divine power, so Downs's main body can't pass through. Sending a god-king level avatar would be possible. Even if it's not the god-emperor's main body, it's still impressive enough.

Unlike dealing with Artemis who came knocking on his door a while ago, this time Towns really took action.

Every deity felt a surge of emotion, a sense of destiny about to witness history welling up within them.

Move out!

As they watched the figure radiating a warm and divine aura, the gods in the hall, from highest to lowest rank, lined up in order, forming an exaggerated divine (human) dragon, which marched majestically toward the Rainbow Bridge.

On the other hand, the Olympian gods are facing their greatest crisis yet.

Cronus's sudden escape from prison was the greatest challenge to the authority of Zeus, the contemporary god-king.

Even though Zeus knew that Downs was unlikely to come and exert pressure in person, Zeus was still under immense pressure.

He intended to force back the group of god-kings of the Aesir first, but who knew that these god-kings would disregard everything and use powerful divine magic to cover Cronus's mountain climbing.

"Get out of here—" A thousand-meter-tall phantom of Zeus appeared atop the mountain, and a casual strike of lightning struck down, making the ground at the foot of the sacred mountain feel as if it could collapse at any moment.

At that moment, Cronus, who had suffered a severe beating in his early years, instinctively shrank his neck. Unexpectedly, the little Nuwa in the distance created an exaggerated death vortex, diverting the lightning that was supposed to strike him.

Kronos watched as the lightning, which had been descending almost vertically, was deflected forty-five degrees in mid-air. This lightning, powerful enough to severely injure a Titan, was thus engulfed by death energy and transformed into a chaotic flow of energy. Even the aftershocks of this turbulence easily blasted exaggerated cracks into the solid rock walls of the sacred mountain.

"Shameless Aesir!" Zeus cursed, his roar shattering the hundred-mile-long cloud of deathly energy that Hela had drawn from her homeland.

However, just as he forced Hela back, Frey's solar domain suddenly expanded, transforming into an eternal radiance that devoured lightning.

"bother--"

Zeus shouted again, and lightning pierced through Frey's golden light, which burst forth like the blazing sun, only to be astonished to find that a majestic, heavily armored knight god's phantom blocked the rest of his divine power.

He clearly had the upper hand against every Asgardian, but winning doesn't necessarily mean inflicting damage.

As the black tide of the underworld surged forth from the spatial passage, the other two Aesir goddesses of death attacked from afar. This time, it was Apollo atop the mountain who clashed with Ereshkigal and Scáthach's divine magic using the power of light. The resulting shockwave blasted a massive crater, hundreds of meters deep, into the ground beneath them—a crater the size of Athens.

But while the Aesir were frantically trying to distract and attack Zeus, Cronus, the fastest of the rushing gods, had already climbed to the top of Mount Olympus, where Zeus's temple was located.

"Hahaha! My good son! Your father has finally returned!" The former god-king laughed wildly.

A god-king who is not on the sacred mountain and a god-king who has returned to the sacred mountain can be said to be two beings of different levels.

Despite being a god of agriculture and even having a 'broken sickle' as his weapon, Cronus may not have been a god of agriculture before.

His combat strength is not bad; after all, this is because he holds the power of the world.

He returned to this sacred mountain at the center of the Greek world and once again proclaimed his legitimacy, which indeed caused chaos in the world.

The Greek world was never composed of a single god.

While Uranus, the god of the sky, and Gaia, the mother of the earth, are the most important components of this world, many divine powers do not fall under their jurisdiction.

Since both Greek god-kings usurped the throne rather than abdicated, there was no such thing as a handover.

Therefore, it becomes reasonable for the former God-King to leave some backdoors in the world's laws.

Zeus struck down with lightning again, but this time Cronus was no longer afraid. Instead, he charged forward into the lightning, and a dazzling green light suddenly emanated from the ugly black rock scythe in his hand.

"boom!"

A massive bolt of lightning, the size of the Parthenon, struck the Titan Cronus, yet failed to inflict sufficient damage.

Even though his whole body was trembling violently from the lightning strike, and even though his body was charred black and even emitted a burnt smell like roasted meat, Zeus knew that his good father had not suffered as much damage as he appeared.

A large amount of lightning power was channeled into the earth, with more than half of it being absorbed by Mount Olympus.

Zeus gasped in astonishment: "Gaia?!"

"Hahaha! Zeus, you don't think that after my defeat I'll just do nothing and obediently be a good prisoner, do you?" Cronus laughed wildly.

Yes! Mother Earth Gaia was indeed persistent and secretly came to support her good son again.

She couldn't make Chronos completely immune to the lightning's damage, but she could share the destructive power of the lightning strikes to the greatest extent possible, reducing the damage taken by Chronos and the other Titans.

Over there, Hera screamed at the top of her lungs with divine might: "Protect the Queen! Protect the Queen!"

This time, whether it was Poseidon, who was facing off against the other powerful Aesir gods in the spatial passage ahead, or the main gods who were originally in the various temples on Mount Olympus, they all had to bite the bullet and rush back to fight the Titans who had climbed the holy mountain.

Here, a single act of destruction could shatter a magnificent temple into dust, sending blood rain carrying fragments of divine armor crashing down to earth, and even unleashing crimson waves in the Aegean Sea that could submerge islands.
