At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 449 The Power of Hope
Within the temple on the back of Cronus

Ancient, decaying, and chaotic energy seeped from Pandora's box, transforming into a black tornado that wildly intertwined and expanded.

This is... a power born from the negative emotions of the gods who symbolized the very rules of the world during the war of the gods.

It's resentment! It's despair! It's destruction! It's madness!
It is the embodiment of all the negative concepts in this world!

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be similar to all the evil in this world that was born from the Holy Grail in the Type-Moon universe!
No, it's something even worse than that...

At this moment, this power has found a perfect host...

That was Zeus, driven to the brink of despair!
"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Absorbing this power, Zeus's aura surged dramatically at that moment!

His twisted face turned toward Atreus, who was fighting with Cronus, his voice hoarse and vicious.

He no longer possessed the majesty of the King of Thunder...

"See that? You bastard!"

This is my power!
The wrath of the primordial gods! Calamity upon the world!

"Now, die!!"

Accompanied by Zeus's words.

The sky was stained an ominous dark purple, the earth began to crack, and space itself groaned under the weight of the burden.

Then, black fog billowed from the earth and the sea, gradually covering the world.

Under the influence of the black fog, the crowd descended into chaos.

Then began the most savage battle...

Not only mortals, but even the gods and Titans on Mount Olympus began a deadly battle.

Along with the chaos, new negative emotions merged into the black fog.

Finally, it flowed into Zeus's body...

"Father! Become one with me!!"

Zeus roared, his dark power surging and eroding Cronus beneath him.

Chronos let out a deafening roar, and its already enormous Titan body began to swell, transforming into an alien form.

The arm, transformed into claws like those of a wild beast, slammed down fiercely towards Atreus!
Gaia SSV, the form of Atreus, ignited with golden energy.

The power of the earth, the ocean, and the magnetic field erupted in an instant.

boom!
A clash between light and darkness!

Dark purple divine power clashed with dazzling light, resulting in annihilation!
Unlike before, this time Zeus has the upper hand!

"Hahaha! I won this time!!"

Zeus laughed wildly, opening his arms to absorb even more negative energy.

He's invincible right now...

His power continues to grow!

Meanwhile, Chronos's attack has also arrived!
The enormous fist, imbued with the brute force of a Titan and the corrosive power of calamity, slammed heavily into Atreus's arm.

One punch, two punches, three punches... followed by a series of punches that were barely visible to the naked eye.

Atreus managed to hold on, and couldn't help but frown.

This Zeus was more troublesome than he had imagined, able to constantly absorb the negative emotions of the world to strengthen himself.

Moreover, as Zeus's power spreads, negative emotions such as panic, despair, anger, and chaos are rapidly growing in the human world.

These emotions acted like fuel, making Zeus grow stronger and stronger!

With the balance shifting, he was about to lose control!

In that case, we have no choice but to fight this battle quickly!
Thinking of this, Atreus's expression hardened, and he prepared to use all his strength.

The next moment, the three forces of earth, ocean, and magnetic field reappeared on Atreus, intertwining and transforming into golden energy that poured out.

Dark purple energy ignited on Cronus, who was under Zeus's control.

The two energies collided and entangled in the air, eventually becoming deadlocked in mid-air.

The powerful impact began to spread, and the ground beneath the two giants began to collapse and shatter, eventually splitting the continent in two.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes... various abnormal weather events began to sweep across the world, plunging it into further chaos. The resulting negative emotions intensified, and a dark light gradually gained the upper hand.

"Tsk~"

Atreus gritted his teeth, his body's light and magnetic energy surging wildly.

He has basically reached his limit now; the power of interdimensional transmission is at its maximum.

After all, his situation is different from that of the Infinite World; the magnetic field power is not embedded as deeply.

This won't do! We need to find a way to break the deadlock!

However, there is a way to break the deadlock: Pandora's Box!

Or perhaps it's the power of hope within that box...

In God of War, Kratos, who was still just a mortal, used this power to kill Ares.

That power, in its nature, should be able to counter Zeus's calamity-inducing power...

But what should we do?

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed in the temple on Cronus's back.

Next to appear was a girl dressed in white armor, holding a shield and a spear—none other than Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war!
Her appearance caused Zeus, who was merged with Cronus, to pause slightly.

"Athena?! What are you doing here?! Do you also want to die?!"

Zeus roared, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

Athena ignored Zeus, because she knew that Zeus had no power to stop her.

That's why she appeared at this time.

With that thought in mind, Athena went to Pandora's Box.

What is sealed within is not only calamity, but also the hope she placed inside.

Zeus absorbed all the calamities, but he overlooked this last and most crucial power!

Athena stretched out her hand and activated her divine power.

That faint glimmer of hope, like a firefly guided by a magic box, slowly flew out from the depths of the box and landed in her palm.

It was a soft, vibrant golden energy.

It was very weak, like a candle flame compared to the bright moon, compared to Zeus's devastating power.

But its essence is incredibly pure and incredibly powerful!

That is the spark of hope that can ignite endless despair!
"Athena! What do you want to do?!"

Zeus sensed something was wrong and shouted angrily.

He never imagined that there was such power within it.

"I'm sorry, Father..."

Athena shook her head, then turned her gaze to the giant that Atreus had transformed into.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the light flew out, eventually merging into Atreus's body.

"Please, Atreus~"

Athena murmured.

The next moment, the light called hope approached Atreus.

The essence of Ultraman within him began to resonate with him.

As Ultraman who has saved several worlds, he is synonymous with miracles and hope in another world.

Its essence is a perfect match for the power of hope in this other world!

The next moment, accompanied by the infusion of the power of hope.

An indescribable burst of dazzling light erupted from Gaia SSV's body.

That was the form he took when he faced the Dark Ruler in the world of Ultraman Tiga, and fused the light of children from all over the world to create it.

Bathed in hope... a radiant form!!
