I Am Hades, Lord of the Underworld!

"..."

The atmosphere grew silent. Poseidon could tell that something had happened here.

However!

Poseidon wasn't very interested, or rather, he didn't want to ask and had no intention of inquiring. To Poseidon, all of this was meaningless.

This was similar to why Rhea favored Hades. Hades suppressed his impulses with absolute rationality, but that didn't mean he had no emotions.

On the other hand, Poseidon and Zeus were different—one truly lacked emotion, and the other was ambitious.

To their mother, Rhea, among her three children, only Hades was worth her attention. The other two weren't significant.

It might seem laughable, but the truth is, despite their countless clashes, Rhea still valued Hades the most.

Was this a joke? Perhaps!

As time passed, decades flew by, and finally, a lightning-like radiance appeared.

Zeus emerged step by step, his expression sour, especially upon seeing Hades and Poseidon. His face grew even more unpleasant.

Once again, he was the slowest.

Every time he attacked the heavens, he was the slowest. And now, as he ascended Mount Othrys, he was still the slowest. Zeus found this hard to accept, which wasn't surprising.

After all!

Zeus was ambitious and proud, and being outdone time and again was unacceptable to him. It was a difficult pill to swallow.

However, Zeus quickly composed himself and said calmly, "Hades, Poseidon, is there no longer any obstacle here?"

"..."

Hades and Poseidon silently watched Zeus. After a moment, when Zeus still felt the awkwardness, Hades spoke coldly, "There are no obstacles. Everything has already ended."

Yes!

The three God-Kings had come this far, and there were no more obstacles. Everything had been dealt with along the way. Now, they just had to take the final step.

To face their supreme Titan God-King father!

This was the final step, symbolizing the start of the ultimate battle. Victory or defeat? Who could say? No one knew for sure who would achieve final victory.

But it must be admitted that at this final step, no one could retreat. After all! Having come this far, retreating now would be laughable. To retreat at this point would be more than cowardice; it would be truly despicable!

"Let's go," Hades said calmly.

"Alright."

"Mm."

Zeus' eyes gleamed with lightning, and Poseidon's indifferent gaze also revealed a sharp light.

The three God-Kings walked deeper into the Titan Temple.

In fact!

Mount Othrys was divided into three parts.

The first part was the mountain itself, known for its uniqueness.

The second part was the Titan Temple, the residence of the Chief Titans. Although many Titans didn't always live there, it had always existed.

The third and final part was the God Palace: the Maze of Time, a gift from the world to Cronus, the second-generation God-King, upon his birth.

That special God Palace stood quietly at the deepest part of the Titan Temple.

At this moment!

Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus walked through the Titan Temple without urgency. Despite the vastness of the temple, which could take years or even over a decade to traverse, the three God-Kings knew they needed to prepare thoroughly. Any laxity could be fatal!

So, they needed to maintain their peak condition.

At this moment!

The three God-Kings were calm. This long journey was their final opportunity to recuperate, and it was also Cronus' last preparation time.

In this final moment, everything remained calm!

...

Mount Olympus!

"Hoo~~~"

Metis exhaled softly, murmuring, "Finally, the last step! After such a long time, we've finally reached this point."

"Yes!" Prometheus nodded earnestly, filled with emotion.

The matter of Mnemosyne.

For now, that could be put aside. It wasn't important compared to the upcoming battle.

In Metis and Prometheus' eyes, after countless efforts, they were finally about to see the results of the first stage.

...

Atlantis!

Here, Nereus and the other five ocean gods waited quietly.

They knew the final battle was about to begin and waited silently for the outcome. As for the future, they were unsure.

However!

The five ocean gods had truly recovered with Poseidon's help. They willingly followed him, unwavering in their loyalty!

...

The Underworld!

At this moment, the Underworld was also silent.

Hypnos, Aether, Hemera...

And others!

Including Mephisto, all the underworld gods stood quietly on the Yomi Path. They couldn't see what was happening outside, but they waited silently.

Because they knew, after countless ages, the final battle was about to begin.

The three God-Kings would finally face the invincible Titan God-King!
