Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zeus and the other Olympians had not expected to be late to the show. The fight had already ended.

“Athena, are you alright?”

Hera stepped forward and asked Athena, who was being supported by Lorne.

Athena shook her head. “I’m fine!”

Lorne said, “Everyone, if there’s nothing else, please make way!”

Zeus and the others were at a loss. They looked towards Hades and saw that his expression was extremely ugly. The gods thought that it was because they had been too late.

“Lorne, I heard that the Titan Court is extremely shameless. They actually joined forces to fight you alone. Do you want to consider joining forces with us? We are here to help you!”

Hades took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

“That’s right! Lorne, we can join forces to overthrow the Titan Court!”

At this time, Zeus also echoed.

This was a rare opportunity, and he did not want to give it up.

“No need!”Lorn rejected without hesitation. Did he really think that he did not know their thoughts and plans? They just wanted to drag him into the water and become a free mercenary.

Hera also stood up. “Even if you don’t want to join forces, they are already picking on you.”

Lorne laughed when he heard that. “Don’t worry, I have already hurt them in return! There’s no need for you to worry!”

Zeus was a little unwilling to simply let the two of them slip by. He wanted to persuade them once again, but when Lorne’s gaze swept over him, he instantly shut his mouth.

Zeus and the others stopped as they watched them leave.

“What should we do now? Lorne has left!”

“Should we retreat too?”

“We’re already here! Should we just leave?”

Someone was unwilling.

“Should we charge them? Lorne might have injured them badly?”

The gods discussed for a moment before deciding to go up and take a look. If there was an advantage, they would take action.

Thus, the group directly went up to the gate of the Titan Temple. At this moment, Cronus and the others had not left yet. When they saw Zeus and the other Olympian gods, they all revealed wary expressions.

“Zeus? What are you all doing here?” Cronus stared at Zeus and asked with a dark expression.

Zeus did not reply. Instead, he paid attention to the Titan gods, wanting to see through any possible illusions. Seeing that they were all genuinely wounded greatly pleased him.

After gaining confidence, he said, “Cronus, you actually tore up the agreement and kidnapped an Olympian. What are you trying to do?”

“What a joke. Zeus, which eye of yours saw the Titan Court kidnap Athena?”

At that moment, Oceanus could not help but mock him.

Now that Lorne had left, he did not fear Zeus and the others at all, instead, his accumulated anger was directed at Zeus. “Without any evidence, you dare to barge into the Titan Court? It seems that you are preparing to start a war with us?”

With that said, the Titans began to attack Zeus.

“You…” Zeus had not expected the other party to be so brash. Looking at their aura, he was a little puzzled. Weren’t they injured? Were they looking down on me?

Meanwhile, the other Olympians were also under attack. At that moment, the tense and solemn atmosphere instantly erupted.

Finally, Cronus suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Zeus, we have already discussed this matter with Lorne. So, if you want to use Athena as an excuse, there’s no need for that. You can go and look for Lorne. If you want to start a war, then come! What does our Titan race need to fear?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Titans’ morale soared. On the other hand, Zeus and the others were somewhat hesitant.

“Hmph! Cronus, just you wait!”

Zeus intended to break off and leave. This was not yet the time to trigger a large-scale conflict.

However, his retreat left the Olympians disappointed.

At the last moment, he was still afraid. He was afraid that if they started a war now, Cronus would finally gain the upperhand and banish them to the abyss. He wanted to wait until he was at the True God level before starting a war.

He did not tell anyone that his strength had already reached the peak of the God level. He was just a little bit away from breaking through to the True God level. When that happened, he would be able to regain his prestige.

Thus, the Olympians came and left in a hurry.

In the meeting Palace of the Titan Court, Cronus was sitting at the head of the table with a pale face. The other Titan gods were extremely worried. They had not expected their powerful God-King to be this wounded.

This was especially so for Oceanus. His face was filled with self-blame. If he had not decided to go after Athena and provoke Lorne, the God-King would not have been injured.

As if he could see through Oceanus’ self-blame, Cronus waved his hand to show that he did not mind. “It’s alright. I will be able to recover soon. This time, I truly know Lorne’s strength. He is very powerful, but it would not be an impossible fight for us.

“You guys must also strengthen your training and work hard to increase your strength. I hope that when I come out of seclusion next time, I will find all of you stronger!”

“Please rest assured, God-King!”

The Titans said in unison when they heard this.

“Good! Oceanus, you will still be commanding the domestic war against Olympus. I believe that you will leave them flustered!”

After that, Cronus looked at Oceanus and said.

“Rest assured, God-King. While you are in seclusion, Zeus and the others would be too busy with us to pay attention to you.”

Oceanus said firmly.

Then, Cronus resumed his seclusion. This time, he would not come out until he recovered his strength!

…

On the other side of Mount Olympus, the atmosphere was also somewhat silent, especially Hera. She could not understand why Zeus, who was always so gallant, would cower in front of the Titans. This was something she could not understand.

“Alright, after this, the conflict between us will only intensify. Pass down the order, we must increase our strength as soon as possible. Soon, we will welcome the decisive battle with the Titan Court!”

Zeus met everyone’s gazes. He was very clear about it, but he did not explain himself in order to keep it a secret. Although he knew that his prestige would suffer a blow, he believed that after he breaks through to the True God realm, he would return.

Hades, on the other hand, was somewhat delighted. He looked at Zeus and could not help but shake his head. Foolish little brother, it seems that it won’t be long before your prestige will drop to the dirt. That would be the best time for me to reveal my strength.

Then, as long as I defeat the Titans myself, the Olympus Gods will appoint me as the new God-King.

However, he did not feel pleased for long before he sank down. He thought of Athena, which made him very uneasy. He decided to meet Typhon later and find out the truth.

…

Lorne, naturally, ignored the reactions of both parties. He brought Athena and Damalis back to the Alps.

When their gazes fell upon the verdant spring sky and the blooming flowers, the two of them felt very relaxed and even happy, especially so for Damalis. She had never seen such a beautiful place. It was simply a gift from nature, as expected of the residence of a god.

Lorne said to Damalis. “I’m still lacking a maid. Stay if you please. If not, I’ll send you back! Don’t worry!”

He had originally wanted to hand Damalis over to Athena, but he had not expected this current turn of events..
