Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Chapter 110 The God-King: Extremely Powerful Yet Excessively Timid

The entire world was silent, save for the roaring sound of the River Styx, but the pervasive power of the oath clearly told everyone what was going on.

Prometheus's curse has taken effect.

Cronus's face darkened more than ever before. A storm raged within him, and unparalleled anger and an unwillingly acknowledged fear filled his mind simultaneously.

He even wished he could rush up and tear the young man in front of him apart with his bare hands.

But He dared not.

Hades's severe injuries and defeat, the failure of the Law of Division, and the damned curse that still affects him—all of this undoubtedly points to one thing.

That means Prometheus was indeed hiding something, and wasn't just bluffing.

Moreover, this hidden strength is genuinely capable of threatening Him.

Cronus's alarm bells were ringing loudest, and even though he was seething with hatred, he dared not make any rash moves.

If it were Uranus, the arrogant and conceited ruler of the heavens, in this situation, he would probably fight to the death to win back his pride.

But Cronus couldn't do it.

Because He knew all too well what the price of failure would be, He would rather die than lose His divine authority, for those days of weakness were a nightmare He dared not even imagine.

He completely lost his courage, so he chose—

"Prometheus, I don't care how you did it, I'll wait for the day your underworld is destroyed, and when that day comes, it will be your death."

After coldly uttering those words, Cronus turned and left.

In any case, the connection between the underworld and the Chaos world has been severed, and the world itself is rejecting the underworld. He can wait for a while until the underworld is destroyed. Cronus does not believe that Prometheus still has this ability.

Cronus had not lost his most basic sense of reason.

He is the King of Gods. He has obtained the power of creation and has divided so many ancient gods. His current power even far surpasses that of Uranus in the past. There is no god in this world more powerful than him, and Prometheus is no exception.

Therefore, the only way Prometheus can pose a threat now is because of the Underworld.

Although he didn't know exactly how he did it or whether he could do it again, Cronus made the safest choice.

That means he'll deal with Prometheus after the Underworld is completely crushed by Chaos's world.

However, what He didn't know was—

All of Sleeve's reactions were within Prometheus's expectations.

Seeing Cronus retreat and casually lift up the heavily injured Hades, Prometheus's eyes revealed a hint of a smile.

Cronus was too flustered at the moment to notice—the same smile in Hades' eyes that was exactly the same as Prometheus'.

Cronus was indeed very clever; he went to great lengths to ban the laws of prophecy throughout the world, preventing Prometheus from foreseeing the future, but—

Prometheus had foreseen this situation long before he began plotting against Zeus.

Given Cronus's personality and the Law of Division, it's obvious what he would do.

So Prometheus had been preparing all along.

Cronus overlooked one point: understanding is mutual.

He understands what kind of god Prometheus is, and therefore represents Prometheus, and also understands what kind of god He is.

Prometheus guessed that Cronus was extremely cautious and would definitely test the waters when he didn't know if his opponent was bluffing.

They also guessed that because He had paid a great price to shield the entire world's prophets, His divine power must not have recovered perfectly. Also, due to his personality, Cronus was determined to kill with a single blow, so he would definitely use the Law of Division.

Therefore, Prometheus only needed to figure out how to deal with the law of division to perfectly execute this "empty city strategy".

The solution he came up with was quite simple; in fact, he had already successfully tested it once.

It happened on Hades, who had just been spat out by Cronus. Upon learning of the law of fate, Cronus immediately tried to divide Hades using the law of division.

But Cronus failed.

Prometheus then realized that the best way to restrain the law of division was that if the laws on me do not belong to me, then what right do you have to divide me?

Therefore, before Cronus used the Law of Division, Prometheus, with the help of the Bottle of Life, transferred his consciousness and laws to Hades, completing an exchange between the original body and the puppet.

so----

You, Cronus, are cutting Prometheus, what does that have to do with me, Hades?

This is a very simple trick. If Cronus had been a little bolder or had a little more courage, and had tried to attack again, he would have discovered the trick.

But Cronus is not Uranus.

Cronus was cautious and meticulous, always striving for perfection. He would either strike with a single, decisive blow or remain completely still.

After failing to make a move once, He will not act rashly again.

Especially after discovering that Prometheus could still utter prophecies cursing Him!

As for coming with such a large force, only to achieve nothing and leave in disgrace, this greatly damages the dignity of the God-King.

Cronus didn't care at all. At worst, he could just divide up all the gods who witnessed this scene today after the underworld was destroyed. It was no big deal.

What puzzled Him most was that He had clearly restricted the entire world, stifled the laws of prophecy, and made it impossible for the fate of the God-King to be known.

But why was Prometheus still able to make prophecies?

However, what He didn't know was that this prophecy wasn't based on sight, and it could even be said that it wasn't a prophecy at all, but rather—

Prometheus's next course of action.

The gods of the underworld were completely unaware of what had happened until Cronus arrived in a huff and then fled in a sorry state.

Just a moment ago, he was worried about Prometheus being ambushed by Cronus and despairing about his bleak future, but the next second—

Cronus was frightened away by Prometheus's prophecies?!

Is this the God of Prophecy?

Who says the laws of prophecy are useless in battle? They're incredibly useful!

In an instant, the entire underworld was filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe. All the gods were calling out the name of Prometheus, believing from the bottom of their hearts that Prometheus would surely end this brutal divine rule.

Gaia couldn't help but exclaim, "Prometheus truly deserves to be my most promising child. If it weren't for Him, we would still be under the control of the brutal heavens."

"Now He stands before us once again, but He is fighting against the ruthless second-generation God-King. What would this world be like without Him?!"

"Prince Prometheus is incredibly powerful," Nico, flapping his tiny golden wings, earnestly agreed. "If He were willing to accept me as his follower, He would be even more powerful!"

Nicol's childlike and naive words brought smiles to many people's faces. Even Metis, who had been worried ever since Prometheus stepped out of the underworld, couldn't help but chuckle.

The goddess of wisdom finally relaxed her expression, unaware of how worried she had been about Prometheus.

Because everyone was so immersed in the joy of victory, they did not notice the darkness that was quietly dissipating around the underworld.

Upon returning to the Underworld, Prometheus's first action was to nod towards the darkness. In the darkness, a slender, youthful figure vaguely appeared—that was—

Hypnos, the god of sleep.

This was Prometheus's second trump card.

If Cronus suddenly changes his personality today and this law of truth and falsehood fails to fool him, Hypnos, the god of sleep, will intervene at the crucial moment.

Hypnos, the god of sleep, is a very mysterious being. While he may be powerful, his laws do not possess any offensive capabilities.

But to say that He wasn't powerful is an exaggeration. According to later records, He even hypnotized Zeus, and not just any Zeus, but the fully-fledged, completely powerful Zeus.

This level of power is sufficient to deal with the current state of Cronus.

Of course, it's always better to have as many cards up your sleeve as possible.

So if Hypnos, the god of sleep, also fails, the goddess who represents darkness itself will intervene. Although she cannot confront Cronus head-on, she can easily protect Prometheus with the hidden power of darkness.

But even so, who knows how many more children will have to repay?

Therefore, Prometheus remained calm from the very beginning. He had made thorough preparations, and Cronus had absolutely no chance of destroying him.

Kronos's defeat this time was entirely justified.

Seeing that the matter was over, Hypnos, the god of sleep who had not gotten a chance to make a move, respectfully bowed to Prometheus, then turned and stepped into the darkness, disappearing from sight.

Prometheus then returned to his palace in the underworld, ignoring all the gods who tried to congratulate and celebrate. He went straight to a quiet place where no one could see him, where the frail Philyra was staying.

"Filura, it's up to you now."

Prometheus spoke softly, his tone gentle: "Before you leave the Underworld, I must ask you one more time: are you truly sure?"

Even if the price is death.

Ferrura gripped the bottle of mead tightly in her hand, and in her usually gentle and timid eyes, there was an unprecedented determination.

"I've made up my mind, I'm willing to do it." She said, looking at Prometheus, her voice trembling slightly. "God of Prophecy, can I truly avenge Chiron?"

As the god who had spent the most time with Cronus over the years, Philyra knew all too well how powerful Cronus was at this moment, so powerful that even after witnessing Prometheus frighten him away with words, she still felt despair.

In response to Philyra's question, Prometheus simply smiled and said softly, "Of course you can, Your Highness Philyra. Cronus is indeed very powerful, but He overlooked one thing."

"What is it?" Ferrura asked instinctively.

Prometheus looked directly into Philyra's anxious eyes and said, word by word, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish."
