Having no answer to Lorne’s threat, Cronus lost even more dignity. He cast a scathing glare at Lorne before leading the Titans out of the place.
If they did not leave now, if they really started fighting, that bastard Zeus would also intervene. It would be another large-scale divine war, and it would probably provoke the neutral faction into action.
The Olympians watched him leave and laughed out loud in delight.
After all, over the past ten years, they had lost more than they won. It was a great joy seeing their powerful foe humiliated.
Hera, in particular, was even more determined to win over Lorne.
Zeus was also happy, but unfortunately, he was not Cronus’ opponent. Every time, it took him and his two brothers to put up an equal fight against Cronus.
“Lorne, you say. He is a lot more powerful than I could have imagined. If he helps us overthrow Cronus, victory would be in sight!”
Beside Zeus, Poseidon spoke softly.
His eyes were filled with admiration and the yearning for power.
“That’s right! This is a good opportunity. We must drag him into our Olympus Camp!”
Hades also echoed.
“But to think that the Hecatoncheires would look this good!”
“That’s right! Now that the tripartite meeting has concluded, it is only a matter of time before the ceasefire ends. Cronus is too powerful. If this continues, it will slowly end in our defeat! Lorne is the key!”
The Olympians discussed animatedly.
Only Zeus remained silent, deep in thought.
Things were not going well for them.
Other than Lorne’s appearance, nothing had changed.
If Lorne did not join Olympus, their best stood no chance against even the wounded Titans.
If this went on, a fully-recovered Cronus would eventually send them to banishment again!
That was why the Olympians were so warm to Lorne.
At that moment, Lorne walked over.
“Sorry for the wait! Cronus has been a God-King for too long, he has forgotten the feeling of being beaten up! A reminder would suffice!”
Lorne smiled as he greeted everyone. What he said almost caused the Olympian gods to trip over.
That was a God-King! No one else lorded over him. You call that a reminder?
After today, Cronus would definitely be even more fearful of Lorne.
Hera laughed dryly and suppressed the surprise in her heart. She said enthusiastically, “It’s fine, it’s fine! Then, let’s go?”
Lorne nodded, and the group instantly left Kolonaki and flew towards Mount Olympus.
This world was many times larger than Earth, gods flew at speeds that left fighter jets in the dust. Even so, their flight took nearly five hours.
The mountain pierced through the clouds, most of its body shrouded. At a glance, it was mysterious and enticing.
Lorne was actually very interested. The third Divine Court was where most of Greek mythology took place.
“Lorne, this is our land! The mortals experience their afterlife here, and all beings live together here in peace.”
Hera introduced the place to Lorne. Looking at the peaceful atmosphere below, she sighed with emotion.
“Yes! War brings not only bloodshed, but also the destruction of many races.”
Lorne felt the same way.
“That’s right! It’s a pity that Cronus is eccentric, headstrong, and increasingly demanding of living beings, making the world miserable! His existence will only lead to the destruction of the world.”
Hera sighed while testing Lorne’s reaction.
After all, if Lorne resonated with them and joined them in overthrowing Cronus, they would at the very least stand half a chance at victory!
However, she was disappointed by Lorne’s casual nod. “Don’t worry! The world will not be destroyed, it will still prosper! The fifth God of Creation still watches us! Even the Primordials would definitely not stand for such destruction! Just don’t blow up mortal cities in your fight!”
The other Olympians were disappointed when they heard this. They could see that Lorne was not interested.
Lorne naturally caught on to Hera’s words, but he was not moved.
When they arrived at the palace, everyone held a grand reception. All kinds of top-notch ingredients were delivered without any cost, which greatly pleased Lorne.
During this period, Hera and the other gods toasted him repeatedly, trying to get Lorne’s help. However, Lorne feigned ignorance, which left the gods very helpless.
The next day, many gods left one after another and returned to their own territories. It was time to get back to work.
In the end, only Zeus, Hera, and a few others remained. They understood that they could not win Lorne over, so they gave up. However, it was not as if they had not gained anything. At the very least, they managed to get on Lorne’s good side, so he would not join the Titans.
Lorne did not stay for long. He wanted to travel around the continent and see if he could obtain some divine artifacts and treasures!
Hera was left with a helpless expression.
…
After leaving Mount Olympus, Lorne began his own treasure hunt. However, the gods had already searched the areas nearby. Even if there were treasures, they would have been found long ago.
Therefore, he decided to look for them on the sea.
The world was vast, and he only saw the sea after flying for nearly half a month.
The sound of waves coming from the distance rose and fell, one after another, hitting the shore.
He flew along the coastline for nearly ten days, and not only did he see humans who got up early to fish, but he also saw women waiting for their husbands and sons to return in the evening.
He also saw many strange creatures, and it was too much for him to take in.
One afternoon, while he was resting on a desolate island, there was a flash of golden light in the distance. All kinds of tsunamis and storms were erupting, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky. It was obvious that a treasure had appeared.
Lorne could not wait to fly over. For humans, family-ending disasters were like a drizzle in front of the gods. He flew through the tsunamis and storms, and it did not take long for him to find the location of the treasure.
The earth shook in the depths of the sea. A golden light shot into the sky and illuminated the surroundings. It looked like a sword. The seawater rotated in a counterclockwise whirlpool and flew into the air, surrounding the sword.
Lightning struck the sword again and again. It rang with power.
Lorne knew that he was fortunate to be able to encounter a divine weapon here.
Thus, he waited by the side. The day the lightning stopped would be the day he obtains the treasure.
Gods had all the time in the world. Several years passed, and the lightning still did not disperse. But strangely, night did not fall upon the area even once.
Another month later, the lightning in the sky slowly dissipated, and the golden light on the sword also disappeared. Lorne was unhappy..
