God King's Abdication

Time returned to a short while earlier.

Heaven and earth were still pressed together, and the world was as peaceful as ever. But on this day, an accident still occurred.

Without the slightest warning, at a certain moment, anguished roars spread throughout the world beneath the sky and across the earth.

Supreme divine power shook the void, and all things could feel the God King's pain and fury. At the same time, on the summit of Mount Othrys, the earth split open, and the Twelve Titans emerged one after another.

The one at the front held a bloodstained scythe, his expression firm and resolute. He was tall and heroic, with spacetime circling around him. Eleven brothers and sisters stood behind him, together resisting the pressure of the God King before them.

When Cronus's scythe fell, the oath had already ended. They were neither the Knife Wielder nor his accomplices—they were merely bystanders who had kept silent despite knowing the truth. But now that the oath no longer bound them, they decisively stood against the God King.

Of course, Uranus was no longer the God King at this moment. When the symbol of the male god was severed, when even his children stood against him, the symbol of Uranus's Paternal Authority collapsed with it. With every passing moment, the authority belonging to the God King continued to drain from him. When he recovered from the pain, his power had already fallen by nearly half.

"Give it back!"

The Sky Father roared and reached toward the flesh lying on the ground.

With a god's regenerative ability, as long as he could reclaim even a part of himself, he could recover completely in the next moment.

He was close! Joy appeared on Uranus's face, but in the next instant, a flash of silver streaked past, and the distance between them was instantly widened again.

The Titans had stood by earlier in order to withstand the God King's erupting divine power, but now that Uranus had regained his senses, his strength was no longer what it had been.

After all, he was no longer the God King.

Boom—! The Sky Dominator flew into a rage. His flesh had been severed, his God Queen had betrayed him, and his children's rebellion had driven him nearly insane. He frantically released his divine power and charged toward his body. The Titans found it difficult to hold him back for a moment, but Okeanos came up with a good idea.

He rushed forward, grabbed his father's ruined body, and hurled it forcefully toward the sea.

The sky instinctively tried to stop him, but the ruined body still landed near the coast. Uranus gazed over with hopeful eyes, wishing to receive his younger brother's help. But the result disappointed him once again. Pontus betrayed him without hesitation. Though taciturn, he still hated this tyrannical elder brother.

Thus, he used his divine power to conceal the ruined body amid the waves and beneath the seafloor. The Sky Father consequently lost all sense of his body, leaving only blood foam floating on the surface of the sea.

"Ah—how dare you!"

Uranus roared. He had never expected even his own younger brother to dare betray him. In his eyes, his kin outside the Primordial Gods had always been cowardly. They had allowed him to take whatever he wanted from them and had never known how to resist.

"My father, this is the consequence of your brutality."

In the sky, Cronus pointed his bloodstained scythe at his father. Even at this moment, he was still trying to make the other side yield through words rather than force.

After all, he knew very clearly that even without the God King's Throne, Uranus was still the Sky Dominator closest to the Great Divine Power.

"Give up. Your madness has already made all the gods resist you. Abandon the God King's Throne, and you will still be the master of the sky."

Boom—! There was no response. What greeted Cronus was the Sky Father's violent divine power. He expanded his divine body, and the sky pressed down with him.

As the incarnation of the sky, he likewise possessed the potential for the Great Divine Power. When he unleashed his full strength, the weather was distorted and celestial bodies shattered.

Fragments split from the sun and fell to the ground, and all things began to burn. Light was obscured, ocean currents were severed, and the Titans' divine blood fell like rain.

Only Cronus and Rhea escaped the disaster. Relying on their authority over spacetime, they dodged frantically and avoided their father's final madness.

Although he did not know why, Cronus could sense that his father's power was still weakening. Some sort of transformation seemed to be taking place within him.

He was using divine power to suppress it, but the transformation was becoming increasingly violent, so his divine power was also continuously declining.

As long as he held on, Cronus believed that he would surely be the last victor.

····· war among the gods had erupted, and strange fluctuations had likewise arisen in the Eternal Night Land. Chains of law danced throughout the sky—signs of divine birth.

Perhaps because of the negative emotions that had erupted before the God King's Abdication, or perhaps because of the disorder among the sky, the sun, and the celestial bodies, the children of Nyx and Erebus were born.

Eight auras descended upon the world one after another. Two of them drew a small portion of the light-related origin from the Titans, while the others were born alongside negative emotions.

Aether, God of Heavenly Light!

Hemera, Goddess of Day.

Morus, God of Doom.

Ker, Goddess of Destruction.

Eurynomos, God of Rot.

Oizys, Goddess of Grief.

Apate, Goddess of Deception.

Philotes, Goddess of Lust.

Unlike the divine births of the Twelve Titans, the eight children of Nyx had little influence on the world, so their births received no additional assistance.

If nothing unexpected happened, it would take at least years for these gods to descend into the world one by one.

Yet at this moment, something that surprised all the gods happened.

The tremors of law caused by the divine births and the divine war were still continuing, but a warning from the world suddenly arrived. In the Underworld, in the moon, an existence who controlled Spirituality was devouring the world's source power. Anyone who stopped him would receive the world's reward. This was the world's instinctive reaction.

But unfortunately, no one had the time to deal with this matter now.

"It was him! He took my Divine Office!"

Mnemosyne had fallen to the ground at this moment, divine blood staining her clothes, but she still screamed.

As early as the moment of her birth, she had sensed that the Divine Office of Memory had been born alongside her. Yet for some unknown reason, she had failed to take control of it. "Damn it!"

After dodging the Sky Dominator's divine power once again, Cronus's expression twisted involuntarily.

He had already sensed it. Ryan had not only concealed the Divine Office of Spirituality, but for some unknown reason, his power also carried a faint accompanying spacetime divinity. With the aid of this divinity, the origin that had originally belonged to him was being devoured frenziedly.

This was the origin he had voluntarily handed over, so it offered no resistance whatsoever. He could feel the emptiness of power within his body, but Cronus could only grit his teeth and endure.

Relying on the power of time and the assistance of the Goddess of the Passage of Time, he temporarily maintained his Divine Power Level. Without hesitation, he still chose to continue maneuvering against Uranus.

It was already too late to go to the Underworld now. Cronus could only hope to defeat his father and use the God King's Throne to maintain his power.

Now, he had no way back.

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Night Land, the gestation of the God Children began to accelerate. The children who originally needed several years to descend into the world were compressed into taking only several days, but this still could not solve the urgent problem.

The world's plea echoed along the Law Chains, but no one answered for a long time.

This was Ryan's only chance—and his best one. The Sky Father was battling the Earth Mother and the Twelve Titans, the Twin Gods of the Night were giving birth to their children, and Tartarus remained as devoid of will as ever. No one could stop what he was doing now.

In the next moment, as if responding to the world's opposition, a fluctuation of Fate came from the Underworld.

All the gods could sense it. Khaos's Fate had been torn apart.
