Chapter 134: Chapter 104: The Sense of Ceremony

Zeus turned around and saw her, his “mother-in-law,” the primeval water goddess, Thaesis.

She was looking in the direction of the starry sky, where the great Sun that had been suspended at its zenith suddenly began to enlarge. From a deity’s perspective, she could very clearly discern that the Sun’s true body was falling toward the center of the continent.

Such an act that went against the rules of the current world could never be spontaneous; behind it, there must be a God of Sun manipulating it.

“How could this be, wasn’t Helios still at sea? And if he had the courage to face the Divine King directly, he wouldn’t be making excuses to stay in the ocean…”

“Wait—this isn’t Helios, this is Hyperion, where has the seal gone?”

At first it was somewhat incomprehensible, but the next moment, Oceanus too grasped what was happening in an instant.

The Sun would not leave its orbit for no reason, and Hyperion would not break free from his seal without cause. If there had to be a reason, it was that the seal had been unlocked willingly or unwillingly.

In what situation would Cronus remove the seal he had once set?

“Hahahaha, I knew it, he couldn’t have suddenly become so powerful. He must have used some means; it has to be this way, but now, his power has begun to wane!”

“Zeus, take action; he is just holding on!”

Amidst the ups and downs of emotions, Oceanus finally regained his confidence.

His divine power began to boil, and in the distant horizon, the world-surrounding river seemed to sense its master’s impassioned mood.

At the end of the ocean, a blue light began to fluctuate, inching upward. It was the ‘water level’ of the river rising, consequently rolling up to the sky. For a moment, even the surface of the sea beyond seemed to rise by three parts.

“Cronus, just as you had faced the Father God before, no matter how you struggle, failure is your ultimate fate!”

As the voice of the God of the Ocean spread in all directions, accompanied by the increasingly evident path of the great Sun, the deities who had understood the celestial affairs even if only slightly, all came to realize. The Divine King’s seal had vanished, sweeping away the passive despair in the air, and as they looked toward ‘Cronus,’ their will to fight was reignited.

For the innate gods, they exercise authority by instinct rather than technique, and thus their power can often fluctuate wildly with their state of mind. But at this moment, as the Sun drew ever closer, they seemed to have regained their confidence.

The Sun of today was not the one that had just been born in ancient times; over tens of thousands of years, as the world itself kept improving, its power had risen accordingly. If it weren’t for the division of the great Sun, perhaps Hyperion would have long reached the level 20 of Divine Power.

At this moment, as its true body fell, it was an unimaginable disaster.

“The Sun, eh? It’s always him; must say, we indeed share quite the fate,” he muttered softly, yet in the voice of a titan, it was like thunder. Contrary to what the gods had expected, ‘Cronus,’ amidst the connection between heaven and earth within his towering figure, did not show any emotional fluctuation; he simply pressed down on the earth with his left hand and then raised his eyes to the sky.

The reactions of the surrounding gods did not concern him. Whether they were a bit stronger or weaker, apart from Zeus wielding Lightning and the couple of the God of the Ocean who posed a slight threat, they were all a joke to him.

By comparison, the rapidly approaching Sun was slightly more interesting.

But only slightly so.

If it weren’t for Mother Earth, if he didn’t have to consider the Divine Authority that had been largely exhausted, the current Sun wouldn’t even qualify to be looked upon by him.

Compared to the concept of the Moon he wielded, it would take at least another epoch before the true body of the Sun could rise along with the overall increase in Chaos’s strength and further touch the realm of Great Divine Power.

Before then, it might have a capacity comparable to Gaia’s current state, but it lacked the quality to shake what was truly great.

In such a situation, the ‘Divine King’ might find it difficult to destroy the Sun itself, but there was more than one way to deal with it.

However, since he had come to make an impact, he would naturally choose the most direct method.

“Hyperion, heh, I once said if you sought revenge on your son first, I would spare you.”

“But now, it seems you didn’t seize the chance I gave you. Well, perhaps fate has influenced this too, after all, the fall of the Titans is also a part of destiny.”

With a light chuckle, an invisible force surged. Accompanied by the spread of time-space power once again, the deities suffered as if struck by lightning.

The power of ‘Cronus’ didn’t feel weak at all; on the contrary, there were signs of rising again at this moment. Seeing this, the Ocean Deity Sovereign couldn’t even afford to care about the ‘Divine King’s’ mention of ‘the fall of the Titans’; he merely ascended to The Sky, aiming to launch a pincer attack on the advancing Sun.

“Stop your pretense, Cronus, I’ve seen through your tricks, even your own seal—”

“Don’t be hasty, Oceanus, your turn is coming soon.”

A glance was all it took to silence the words that the God of the Ocean was about to utter. Maybe it was because there were too many changes today, Oceanus did look a bit different from usual. The ‘Divine King’ even thought he seemed like a jest used to heighten the atmosphere.

Of course, it was also possible that once these seemingly lofty beings lost their support, they were indeed no different from ordinary people.

“But since you still haven’t given up—”

With no more waiting, the ‘Divine King’s’ right hand reached out, shading the heavens and earth with its illusory form. As the Sun approached, under the gaze of the gods, ‘Cronus’ didn’t wait for the Sun to collide; he grabbed at the massive body of light ahead of it.

In the face of his power at this moment, the starry space was mere inches, size and scale had lost their meaning. So the next moment, amidst innumerable horrified gazes, the ‘Divine King’ stretched out his hand and grasped the Sun in his palm.

“Impossible?!”

A roar came from within the Sun, and the entire celestial body shook violently, the illusionary giant hand also becoming slightly unstable. But in the end, without touching the Great Power, it ultimately failed to shake the ‘Divine King’. Just like holding a glowing sphere, the ‘Divine King’ drew his hand back, holding it in front of him.

“Fate or accident, either is possible, but that’s not important anymore.”

“Whether it’s by chance or destined, I’ll not refuse it. Especially since I am the Divine King, what he once did, I naturally cannot be absent from.”

He remembered the past Uranus, when he himself was still very weak, Uranus’s might represented the ultimate in his imagination.

“Hyperion, did you know, life always needs a sense of ritual, and being the Divine King is no different.”

“Let me personally, put the final period on your chapter.”
