No One Here Was Innocent

The Peloponnese Peninsula, the second line of defense, is experiencing fierce fighting.

Samael spread his fingers and looked at the golden Ouroboros phantom in his palm, composed of intricate Wedge-shaped Divine Script, with its head and tail intertwined. He sighed slightly, then suddenly clenched his fingers into a fist and crushed it instantly. Golden ripples spread across the surface of the Oceanus Sea.

Puff...

At this moment, after crushing the phantom of the Ouroboros, the power contained within it backfired and collided. The ancient snake turned pale, spat out a mouthful of Reverse Blood, looked weak, and swayed precariously.

Correspondingly, on the Stormy Sea Region Seferu, his body shimmering with star patterns, looked towards this place, clearly having locked onto his nemesis.

Immediately afterwards, the Star-Seeded Soldier decisively raised its seven-colored lightsaber, and the light wheel that was spinning obscurely in mid-air slowly adjusted its direction, aiming the ring at the area where Samael was located, and a seven-colored beam of light slammed down.

Just as the weakened ancient serpent was about to be annihilated by the sharp-eyed Seferu, thunder roared in the sky, and a bolt of silver-white lightning pierced through the air from behind, forcefully splitting the seven-colored pillar of light in two.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

Samael smiled with narrowed eyes, and before he could speak further, the Colossal Titan under Seferu's command immediately swung their arms and threw out the light-shaped spears in their hands.

Zeus's face darkened, and he immediately raised his divine shield to block the powerful impacts. At the same time, he turned to look at the guy behind him who was leaning against the side of the city wall with his arms crossed, looking lazy and carefree. Zeus's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he frowned and snorted coldly.

"Did you seal the [Taboo of the Gods] and set up a trap to harm the King?"

"Same here. Didn't you plant Pandora's Box back then and trick me?"

"So, you're the one manipulating Mount of Ares behind it all? And that black serpent that devoured the Box of Original Sin back then? That damned worm, it really was harboring evil intentions all along!"

"Come on, you imprisoned your father, devoured your wife, and harmed your children. If you want to bring up old grievances, your own ass isn't necessarily cleaner than mine."

Samael rolled his eyes and exchanged insults with Zeus with a cold laugh.

I'm not pretending anymore; nobody here is any better.

Just as the two King of Gods of Mount of Ares and Olympus were exchanging barbs and insults, two Star-Seeded Soldiers had once again set out to operate in the Stormy Sea Region released two colorful beams of light, breaking through the Magic Barrier of the second line of defense layer by layer, dismantling another layer of the flank defense at the front of the Peloponnese like peeling an onion.

Immediately, the aftershocks of the explosion caused the entire Greek continent to tremble violently.

The two deities, who harbored considerable resentment towards each other, decisively snorted and fell silent, temporarily keeping each other's grievances in mind.

"You actually dared to risk self-harm to break the seal? Aren't you afraid that King Er will exterminate the entire Mount of Ares in the future?"

Zeus narrowed his eyes, his face grim.

"That's for later. It's your turn to step up now. Let's focus on living through the present, Your Majesty the King of Gods."

Samael responded calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Zeus looked deeply at his opponent, who had repeatedly caused him headaches, with a meaningful gaze.

"You should be thankful that the [Taboo of the Gods] were originally created to deal with the Cataclysm of the Stars, not to target you!"

The Wise King of Gods snorted coldly, raised his Thunderbolt Scepter, and with a series of thunderous roars, it crashed down towards the coastal waters, causing the divine power in the sky to pulsate.

Golden Pillar of Light, resembling doors, converged and solidified from the sea surface.

Whoosh!

As the light patterns rippled, deafening roars echoed from the deep-sea whirlpools. One by one, the liberated Titans, Typhon monsters, and Old Greek Gods burst forth from the abyss of Tartarus, like wild beasts seeing the light of day again, and began to fight madly against the monsters that roamed the sea.

The unstoppable offensive momentum of the Star-Seeded Soldier was forcefully halted.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, Mount Etna erupted violently, billowing thick black smoke and dust, and amidst continuous roars, the entire mountain began to collapse.

"Roar roar roar roar!"

In an instant, hundreds of ferocious heads, resembling dragons and snakes, roared as they emerged from the crater and the collapsing mountain, their grotesque forms seemingly designed to explain the meaning of slaughter and terror.

When this monster, accompanied by scattering volcanic ash and flowing lava, fell into the sea, the seawater evaporated in large quantities.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, the sky turned as black as ink, and black wind pillars, like swords piercing the heavens and earth, continuously condensed around the monster, churning the sea into chaos.

Thousands of humanoid combatants and deep-sea warships were swallowed up by the devastating storms and giant waves, and were eventually torn to pieces.

In a fleeting glance, the group of people from the land were astonished to see that in the center of each of the monster's heads was a lightning bolt-shaped divine mark, shining brightly.

Typhon, King of Divine Monsters!

Holy crap, even Zeus's seal has been corrupted!

Watching Typhon being driven forward, stirring up the sea, Samael's eyelids twitched, deeply shocked.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the Cross Spear in the ancient serpent's hand, which was pointed towards a certain spot on the sea, trembled slightly.

As the pillar-like gate leading straight to the abyss was opened by one towering figure after another, not only Samael, but also Themis and Poseidon who followed changed their expressions slightly.

The three on the left are three Hecatoncheires; the three in the middle are the three Mount Othrys Titans imprisoned during the New and Old God Wars, including the second-generation god Cronus, the Titan of Souls and Death Iapetus, etc., who are all in the ranks, and Samael's Cross Spear is reacting to this; the few on the sides seem to be the old gods, large and small, who have been dormant.

However, the eyes of these prisoners retained only the most primal ferocity and indifference, clearly indicating that they had all become puppets after Zeus eroded divine power.

The number Hades summoned in the underworld was less than one-tenth of these Divine Seal Puppet.

As expected of the "Taboo of the Gods"! All those defeated, weakened, and silent gods were actually controlled by Zeus, who also eroded their divine authority.

With this level of trump card, a direct confrontation would be enough to single-handedly contend with the two rebellious gods, Mount of Ares and the Sea God Temple.

"Fortunately, this was prepared for the Star-Seeded Soldier."

Samael breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the enemy wave that had finally been contained, though he couldn't help feeling lingering fear.

At the same time, the ancient serpent looked at Zeus, who was fully controlling the Divine Seal Puppet, and a deep sense of fear appeared in its eyes.

"Your King of Gods, you really show no mercy..."

Zeus glanced at Samael indifferently and spoke coldly.

"The most feasible way is to gather all of Greece's strength to fight against the Star Calamity!"

The gods possess an even stronger arrogance and a more intense selfishness. Even though King Olympus has repeatedly declared that the giants will eventually descend, how many of them are truly willing to obey his commands without reservation and to devote themselves fully to this war that concerns the very survival of Olympus?

Zeus turned to look behind him, Poseidon, King of the Sea, lowered his head awkwardly and gloomily, speechless.

Samael fell silent. It seemed that he too had become a stumbling block to Zeus's unification of divine authority and his fight against natural disasters, and he suddenly lost the confidence to criticize Zeus.

However, even if this Wise King of Gods had the intention to save Greece, his starting point was not necessarily pure. This was merely a necessary step in his path to divine supremacy, and there was no need to praise him so highly.

Just as the ancient serpent was about to say a few polite words to ease the atmosphere and discuss the next steps, he suddenly remembered the words Zeus had just mentioned, and his expression froze.

Colossi... war... a matter of life and death for Olympus?

The Third Olympus Crisis – The War of the Giants!

Wow, so that's how it is!

Samael slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what he had done, and was both amused and exasperated.
