Ereshkigal, I'm on the Other Side of the Abyss

Previously, Cronus had paid no attention to Rovi and Athena.

Although Rovi's act of devouring Tartarus awakened Him, He knew that Rovi's desire to truly devour the world of the Primordial Furnace was fundamentally impossible, and with the awakening of Cronus, such actions were forced to stop.

Rovi couldn't do it.

Even with its extremely high quality, it cannot achieve this.

Because it has nothing to do with quality, but more important is 'quantity'— Rovi's status is only at the Island Class, that is, a regional god. Even if he can compete with the supreme god because of his quality, that is a fact that he cannot change for the time being.

Strong is strong, weak is weak, but the gap is large enough that even special attacks cannot bridge it.

Compared to the interstellar fortress ' Cronus ', which was comparable to Zeus in its prime, Rovi was not powerful enough.

Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and War, needs no further introduction.

But that was before; now, Cronus is enraged.

Because of Rovi's theft of control over the Titan Giants, He was reminded of His past humiliation, His failures, and the very man who had brought Him to this state.

Zeus, Zeus, Zeus!

"Damn it!" Cronus's personality was intact, so his anger was especially evident.

In an instant, the giants controlled by Rovi were knocked to the ground by the intense pressure and engulfed by the flames of the abyss. The immense gravity suppressed half of Tartarus, and the power displayed by the former Sky Lord still surpassed that of ordinary gods.

"Wisdom, war, victory, strategy, planning..."

Athena was exquisite, beautiful, and solemn. Her white robe billowed in the wind, and her silver armor shimmered with dazzling light. Every time her lips parted and she uttered a word, it was a manifestation of Divine Authority and a condensation of concepts.

Just like victory, in fact, many of the powers that Athena holds do not actually reside in her own hands.

She simply took many gods as her Subordinate God, thereby gaining power in multiple directions. From a certain perspective, she was essentially in charge of a small pantheon.

Therefore, she is very powerful. Although she was born later than most of the twelve gods, she was able to rank among the strongest below the three great god-kings.

The power that emerged at this moment also caught Rovi's attention.

The raised shield blocked Cronus's heavy pressure, and the swung spear countered in an instant!

Boom!

Its sharp edge flashed, penetrating layers of force field defenses, and it was just a hair's breadth away from hitting Cronus.

But it was just a little bit short, a difference of eternity. If Athena were alone, she would never be able to reach Cronus.

It was at that very moment that Rovi made his move.

The robe billowed, and with each step forward, a crimson storm spread out from its center, revealing mottled fragments in the space and spreading out pitch-black voids.

The Enuma Elish is in my hand, forward, upward!

With a resounding crash, the three spiraling blades pierced through the final defensive force field and struck Cronus directly on the forehead.

Boom!

The heavy force field shattered instantly, but what followed was an even more primal power from Cronus.

——[Domination].

The reason why Zeus was able to become the king of the gods in the past was because he had obtained the Crown of Domination from Cronus.

He uses this to control the sky, so he is the Sky God; he uses this to control all things, so he is the ruler of all things. Even if he loses his crown, as long as the body of Cronus still exists, he can still use this power.

Although it is far from its peak, it can still be effective in an instant.

He tried to dominate Rovi!

But in just a moment, this dominance was crushed by the crimson storm.

Rovi, who is qualitatively superior to Cronus, is far beyond His control.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The power displayed by the Enuma Elish directly engulfed all directions.

"Roar!" Cronus' massive machine tilted backward as it let out an angry roar.

Immediately afterwards, the dazzling gates of the King's Treasure opened instantly, and the Lock of Heaven spread out from all directions, simultaneously landing on Cronus's massive machine.

But Cronus merely shook the machine once before instantly freeing himself.

Then, in the next second, the King of Titans, who only had a head, suddenly rolled over and grew arms, feet, and a torso, as if he had transformed. From beneath him, a fist swung out.

Rovi took the attack head-on, retreated several steps, and then moved forward again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Enuma Elish clashed with the fist, and man and god clashed here!

Unable to control the Titan Giants, and with his dominion power also failing, Cronus could only fight Rovi in the way he disliked most—melee combat.

Amidst the shimmering light and the fiery torrents raging even more fiercely beneath the Tartarus Abyss.

Athena was unable to intervene in the battle between the two sides, but she still held her Spear and Shield high, both to amplify Rovi's power and to look for an opportunity.

Cronus threw another punch, and Rovi swung his Enuma Elish Ea, unleashing his full power. He could sense that Cronus was indeed capable of killing him!

And so they were excited, and so they were overjoyed.

In the instant of the clash, the Titan King suddenly changed his fist into a grab, engulfing Rovi and throwing him out.

The sudden change caught him off guard, while Cronus on the other side made a move to leap upwards.

Rovi felt excited, but as Cronus's anger subsided, he only felt annoyed.

This human is just too difficult to deal with.

Given His condition, dealing with him would require significant damage.

Cronus did not want to, and was even less willing to.

His goal has always been Olympus, Zeus.

"Zeus, I, your Father God Cronus, am coming with boundless wrath!" He was getting closer and closer to the rift above the abyss, the one that led to the Real World of Greece and to the Thessalian Plains.

At this moment, it seemed that neither Rovi nor Athena had time to stop it.

Closer and closer it gets. Once it reaches the present, Cronus will be able to use his power to control the earth, restore his strength, and awaken the Titans who have been sleeping for so long.

The mortal realm will return to their hands...

"Are you calling me?" A voice, as if startled by a swan, echoed in his ears. Cronus jolted awake and looked up, only to see a massive shadow hanging above at the exit of the rift.

A 'body' shaped like a silver-white head.

That is...

"Cronus, I'll fuck your mother!" King of Gods Zeus, smacked Cronus on the head.

Cronus: "???"

He was completely bewildered as Zeus swung his hammer back at him, accompanied by bursts of arrogant laughter. "You fucking hammer me, hahahaha!"

"My mother is your grandmother!" Cronus also erupted. Upon seeing his 'enemy,' he instantly unleashed all his power and fiercely confronted him.

"You motherfucker, where the hell did you get a mother from?!" Zeus slammed his hammer down on Him again.

Cronus ultimately couldn't defeat Zeus and was defeated by him.

But the roars still echoed in all directions.

Rovi looked at Athena in silence.

Athena blushed slightly. "Ahem, Zeus's personality after the battle... yes, that's how it is."

"They say that this would be even more lethal."

"..."

Zeus's appearance was not unexpected for them; the trap Athena had set for Cronus, leaving him with only half, was precisely for this purpose.

But... didn't you already uninstall my voice recording app?

Why are you still keeping it?!

And it's become your fighting personality?

With a deafening roar, Cronus plunged back into the abyss of Tartarus, where fiery currents surged and raging waves crashed, their terrifying power instantly engulfing the entire Tartarus. Zeus, however, vanished in an instant, not even glancing down below.

He merely sensed that Cronus was about to appear and came to stop him.

Now that He has been brought back, the rest of the matter is no longer His concern—in the prophecy of the God-King, this calamity must be resolved by mortals, so He will not intervene.

Although Rovi wanted to rush up and attract Zeus's attention, Cronus returned, and the same thing happened.

"He's gone mad! This Zeus is absolutely insane!"

"His personality is that of a madman!"

Cronus' massive machine quickly stood up, then without even glancing at Rovi and Athena, turned and ran deeper into Tartarus.

He realized the truth that Athena had been hiding— Zeus had not lost his body; on the contrary, he was stronger than before.

Although it was a previous generation of Machine God, it was only natural for it to flee out of fear and awareness of the difference in strength between them.

"Seize Him!"

Rovi wanted to capture Cronus and have him kill him, while Athena, as Olympus goddess, had a responsibility to eliminate the threat posed by Cronus.

They exchanged a glance and acted simultaneously. The dazzling gates of the King's Treasure opened instantly, and countless Lock of Heaven spread out. Athena also raised her spear at the same time, and brilliant divine light shone in all directions, surging forth in an instant.

Roar! Cronus roared, but having just been severely injured by Zeus, his energy was becoming increasingly depleted, and he was powerless to break free from such an attack.

"My ally... save me, Ymir— "

Ymir?

Rovi followed Cronus's outstretched hand and then froze.

On the other side of the abyss Tartarus, a void emerges, within which lies another corner of the mortal realm, where wind and snow drift.

The reflected light and shadows depict colossal giants walking among them, enormous trees stretching across the sky and earth, and a figure dwelling in the shadows, with long golden hair cascading down, Thorn-like Crown swaying on her head, and a red cloak fluttering slightly.

"Ereshkigal?" Rovi opened his mouth.

After finding Enkidu, he also intended to search for Ereshkigal and Ishtar's whereabouts.

Given the destruction of the Mesopotamian Heavenly Realm, they should not have been able to reach higher dimensions, and should still exist in reality.

But he never expected to see it here.

Ymir, the Norse...? Did Ereshkigal take over the Norse?

Rovi suddenly realized.

Athena instantly became alert.
