"As long as Poseidon leaves, I'll release the Chaos Eye," Cronus said.
Suye sighed and said, "You've been imprisoned for too long, and the world has been closed off for too long. That made you mistake what you believed for truth. But you haven't seen how this world has changed and progressed, nor have you seen how you've changed and regressed. I truly can't do anything to the Chaos Eye. It's a great Creation Artifact. But you're no longer a Godking."
Suye raised a hand and pointed at Cronus.
"Forty-First Divine Spell Sequence: All Burn."
Suye burned a full tenth of his mana.
Cronus's body trembled. His skin cracked, his divine power dissipated, and his connection with the Chaos Eye was abruptly severed.
"You... My divine power..." Cronus closed his eyes and fainted.
"This is only one of 168 ways to deal with you."
As Suye spoke, he stretched a hand toward the Chaos Eye, and surging blue-gold mana erupted.
At that moment, all the gods stood utterly still, staring fixedly at Suye and the Chaos Eye.
Even the nine Main Gods, including Poseidon, stopped and turned to stare.
Creation Artifacts were different from ordinary divine artifacts.
One had to gain a Creation Artifact's recognition before one could use it.
That was why, even though the gods had clearly seen Cronus fall, none of them rushed to seize the Chaos Eye.
Mocking smiles appeared on the faces of Poseidon and the other eight Main Gods. Then their smiles froze.
Suye seized the Chaos Eye, stored it away, and vanished.
"How is that possible..." The gods stared at Suye in horror.
Some of the gods quickly understood.
Scorpion-Tailed Dragon God Campe murmured, "Could Suye's position in the hearts of the Greeks have already reached this level...?"
"Come back. You can't escape."
