New King

No one dared to meet Cronus's eyes at this moment, the New King.

Even Hyperion and Okeanos, who had once entertained thoughts of the God King position, were silent now.

Uranus's curse before he left was heard clearly by the gods.

If it were any other curse, they wouldn't have taken it to heart, but this one was different.

Not only because of the one who made the curse, but also because it reminded them of the warning given hundreds of years ago in the Underworld by the one who was then considered the God of Prophecy.

'He who rises by this shall fall by this,' Cronus used his sons to plot against his father, seizing the throne with weapons. Did this also foreshadow that he would be betrayed by his own children, losing his kingship through force?

No one knew, but no one dared to guarantee it wouldn't happen.

The Sky Father's God King position was bestowed by the world, so mere force couldn't replace him. But if Cronus became the God King, this throne obtained by power would no longer have the world's endorsement.

But in any case, time did not stop because of the gods' silence. When no god objected to Cronus's God King position, in the darkness, the authority began to shift to him.

Since there was no longer a legitimate God King recognized by the world, a leader recognized by the gods would barely suffice. If no one challenged Cronus within five hundred years, he would be the second-generation God King of Khaos.

During this period, although he couldn't fully enjoy the God King's authority, that powerful Divine Power had already begun to be transferred to him.

"Children, you have won."

In the silence, the scarred Earth Mother walked from afar.

In the previous battle, the damage she suffered was no less than that of her children. It was just that she didn't appear on the front lines, but constantly mobilized the power of the earth to block the descending Sky.

She also heard the curse just now, but she still acted as if she hadn't.

At such a moment, she didn't want to worry about the distant future.

Hearing this, the gods reacted. They no longer wore stern faces, but began to celebrate the victory and Cronus's ascension.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, facing the strongest among the Titans, Cronus, who also wielded a high-level Divine Artifact, they all expressed their recognition of his God King position.

"You're right, Mother. We should hold a banquet to celebrate today's victory."

Listening to the gods' congratulations, Cronus forced a smile and said to the Titans.

"But I think we should deal with one thing first, Cronus!"

Suddenly, Mnemosyne spoke up.

Her body was still covered in blood, and her wounds were slowly recovering under the effect of Divine Power. She had rushed from a distant pit, a pit she had created herself. But at this moment, Mnemosyne seemed to have forgotten the pain, and she looked at her former younger brother, now her eldest brother, with a face full of anger.

"That God of Prophecy, that thief! He stole my Divinity of [Memory]."

"You all felt it, right? At the beginning of the battle, Khaos's consciousness revealed his disguise! He is the God of [Spirituality], and he did something that angered the world."

"We should punish him!" she said, "In the Underworld, where the world's consciousness informed the gods."

"Yes, before celebrating the victory, we should punish a sinner," Iapetus also supported.

He thought everyone would think so, after all, it was Ryan's Prophecy that had caused everyone to suffer. But unexpectedly, after him, no one continued his words, and everyone's expressions were a little awkward.

"Ahem, my brother," Hyperion said, "The world's consciousness only appeared seven days ago. Even if we punish him now, we won't get a reward."

"Yes, Khaos's consciousness is always so rigid. When his offense against the world is completed, the world's 'bounty' is canceled."

Tethys also chimed in. This eldest sister of the Titans rarely spoke.

"But what about my Divinity?" Mnemosyne was a little confused.

Was there even a need to discuss punishing a weak God of Prophecy? Even without the world's reward, using him to showcase the majesty of the new Divine Court would be good enough.

"I want him to be my subordinate god. Divinity cannot be transferred, but a main god and a subordinate god can 'borrow' it for a long time."

Cronus's mouth twitched slightly. Divinity could not be transferred; he had thought the same thing back then.

"But he is not as simple as we think, Mnemosyne." The Lord of the Ocean seemed unwilling to beat around the bush. He directly said to his younger sister, "Just seven days ago, while we were still fighting Sky Father, the Twin Gods of the Night from the Eternal Night Land went to the Underworld."

"Your two's Divine Power is too weak, so you couldn't sense it. During the previous God's Birthday, the two Primordial Gods used their origins to accelerate the birth of the new god. Obviously, they went to make trouble for the God of Spirituality."

Hearing this, Iapetus said no more. He understood what his brother meant. If the two Primordial Gods took action personally, either Ryan had already been cast into the Abyss, accepting the punishment of the world's will, in which case they wouldn't find him even if they went.

Or the other party had used some method to make the Twin Gods of the Night return empty-handed. In that case, there was even less they could do.

Including Gaia, all the gods here combined were not enough for the Lord of Darkness to deal with using one hand.

After all, the other party's power could contend with Uranus at his peak, while what they had faced before was just a Sky Father whose power was greatly damaged, less than thirty to fifty percent of his full strength.

"Let's leave it at that." Cronus glanced at his younger sister, who was still somewhat unwilling, and didn't want to delay any longer.

If possible, he wanted to deal with the guy who devoured his origin more than anyone else, but now he could only give up.

Not to mention the other party's consistently mysterious style and the means to make the Primordial Gods retreat, just the other party's Prophecy made him unable to sleep or eat in peace.

He now understood his Sky Father. Sky Father had countless times treated the Titans as toys, but had never laid a hand on Ryan, and this was the deterrence brought by mysterious fate.

Other Titans might not care, after all, they had never asked Ryan for Prophecy, but Cronus was different. He was beginning to regret it, regretting why he had asked Ryan about his future before. If he didn't know, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma as he was now.

"Let's go, back to Mount Othrys, Mother's creations are always so delicious."

His mood became even more gloomy. The future God King, who should have been high-spirited at this moment,reluctantly made himself look a little happier, and then took the lead in flying towards the Divine Mountain.

"Let's go, we'll talk about the Divinity later."

Rhea, who was the only one who noticed Cronus's state, also said as she glanced at her older sister.

Seeing that everyone said so, Mnemosyne had no choice but to endure her unwillingness and choose to fly to the Divine Mountain with the Titans.

She didn't dare to act on her own. Even if it was just the previous Ryan, he was also a God of Chronology with Divine Power level 9, which was much more capable of fighting than her, a God of Language and Memory with Divine Power level 8.

The gods left one after another. When the God War ended, the earth also returned to calm. With the passage of time, it slowly recovered from the damage it had suffered.

Half a day later, on Mount Othrys, the banquet celebrating the New King's enthronement began.
