New Era

# Chapter 27 New Era

On Mount Othrys, everything was just as Ryan had anticipated.

The Divine Mountain's banquet lasted for three months. Apart from Cronus, even Mnemosyne put aside her displeasure and enjoyed a long-lost period of freedom.

They put everything behind them; this was the first time in their divine lives that they were not constrained by anyone. Unfortunately, there was no 'wine' in the world yet, so the gods could not get thoroughly drunk.

Three months later, the banquet was coming to an end. As early as the first month, the Earth Mother had retreated beneath the Divine Mountain to recuperate her ravaged origin, so at this time, only the Titan brothers were still feasting on the Divine Mountain. But as time went on, the atmosphere became somewhat delicate.

Cronus would become the God King; this was undisputed. But the former God King regarded the gods as servants, which the gods could not accept.

What Uranus could do did not mean Cronus could do it as well. He did not have the Sky Father's great power, so the Titans could not help but have their own little thoughts.

Especially Okeanos and Hyperion, one was the original eldest son, and the other controlled the powerful Sun Divinity. Even if they could not become God King, they would become "kings" in their own domains.

Finally, in the delicate atmosphere, Okeanos was the first to rise. He looked at his former younger brother, now his 'older brother'. Because of his sudden action, the Titans all turned their attention to him.

Seeing this, Cronus remained expressionless, but his gloomy mood was tinged with a bit more panic. Now was no longer the time of the previous battle; the power that Rhea had borrowed for him from the 'past' had been lost, and the God King's power had only just begun to gather. Now, his power was unprecedentedly weak.

If he had to fight someone at this time, he would have to seek Rhea's help, but this would only further expose the problems he had.

"My brother, do you have something to say to me?"

"On such a celebratory day, I will seriously consider your request."

Cronus tried to appear gentle and majestic, and he did not even call his former eldest brother 'younger brother'.

"You're overthinking it, Cronus; I'm not here to oppose you." The Lord of the Ocean shook his head.

He could sense that Cronus's emotions were not quite right, but he did not think that the other party was afraid of him.

In his opinion, Cronus simply did not want him to openly oppose him. After all, as the Lord of the Outer Sea, the World-Encircling River, even if Cronus was stronger than him, as long as he hid in the sea, the other party could not do anything to him.

However, he did not intend to launch a challenge to Cronus's throne. After all, even if the other party could not do anything to him, the other Titans would never submit to him.

In fact, apart from Rhea, who knew the inside story, the Titans had already recognized Cronus's power. But recognition was recognition; they were not willing to kneel before the New King as they had served the Sky Father.

"You have proven your strength, Cronus; I am no match for you." He said, "I just want to say goodbye to you, after all, I may rarely come here again. I want to go back to the sea; that is where I should be."

Saying that, Okeanos waved to his sister. Tethys hesitated for a moment, but looking at her brother, she still stepped forward together.

"Leave Mount Othrys to you; I am going to be neighbors with my uncle. I wish you a speedy recovery, Mother Goddess. And I wish you eternal kingship, Cronus."

After saying goodbye, Okeanos did not wait for a response but took his sister and flew away from the Divine Mountain.

He was not afraid that Cronus would turn ruthless. He was not the Sky Father and did not have the power to fight against everyone. If he dared to attack him, Okeanos believed that his brothers would not stand idly by.

Watching the Lord of the Ocean and the Goddess of Primordial Water leave, Cronus's expression was a little stiff, but it quickly returned to normal.

At least it was not the worst outcome; even without the loss of origin, he did not expect his brothers to bow to him.

Trying to calm his mood, Cronus was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Theia and Hyperion, who stood up next, made it difficult for him to maintain his expression.

After the Ocean God left, he had realized that he could not make these brothers submit. So he was prepared to take the initiative to step back, rather than being forced to do so under the pressure of the gods.

But obviously, the Sun God did not intend to give him this opportunity.

"Haha, my newly enthroned Majesty, like our eldest brother and sister, we are also preparing to leave."

"Mount Othrys is not as warm as the Sun after all, I still prefer it there a bit more."

Hyperion looked at his 'former brother' whose face was somewhat unsightly, and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

You schemed with all your might, deceiving Father from the very beginning, but so what?

Even if you sit on the throne of the God King, no one will truly submit to you! "I imagine you wouldn't forcibly keep us by your side like Father once did, would you?" Hyperion said with a smile, as if he really respected the God King in front of him: "That kind of brutal behavior is not something a God King should do."

"...Of course, you're right." Cronus said coldly. Among all his brothers, Hyperion had always been the one with the greatest ambition.

Perhaps it was the influence of his Divinity, the Sun was naturally eager for power.

"Then go back, go back to your Sun. Since you like it there so much, then you can just stay there forever."

"Hehe, of course. As the Center of the Starry Sky, I should be there."

With a light laugh, Hyperion didn't take the God King's words to heart.

The earth belonged to the Earth Mother and the Mountain God, the ocean belonged to the two Sea Gods, and the starry sky belonged to him. He was curious, as the God King, what was left for Cronus? "Let's go, Theia. I wish you a speedy recovery, Mother. And I wish you eternal royal power, my dear brother."

The Sun God left with the God of Light and Sight, and Mount Othrys suddenly felt a lot emptier.

Seeing this, the remaining Titans exchanged glances. They eventually stood up one by one and bid farewell to Cronus.

Phoebe and Coeus went to the sky together. As the Goddess of Luminous Bodies and the Celestial bodies, they would be neighbors with Hyperion; Themis didn't explicitly say she was leaving, but she said she wanted to go to the earth to walk around and see, after all, she had been confined to Mount Othrys for too long; Mnemosyne still harbored resentment towards Ryan, and she wanted to try to visit the Lady of the Night to find out what had happened to Ryan.

She didn't dare to go directly to the Underworld to confirm, after all, she knew very well how weak her power was.

In the end, only Rhea, Crios, and Iapetus stayed.

The weather was erratic, so Crios stayed here, using Mount Othrys as a foothold. Rhea had always been very close to Cronus under the influence of her authority, so she didn't plan to leave either.

As for Iapetus, he purely felt that he was too weak, so he simply stayed on Mount Othrys.

"You are welcome to stay. I am not Father, here, you can act as you please."

Forcing a smile, Cronus didn't care whether his disappointment was noticed. Today's events had already disgraced this New King, but he could do nothing about it.

"You just need time, Cronus." Rhea comforted her brother: "When you fully control the position of God King, things will be different."

"I will be with you, even if it can't compare to Father and Mother, you can gradually establish your own kingship."

"Yes, you're right, Rhea. At least you've always been by my side."

Feeling somewhat comforted, Cronus arranged residences for Crios and Iapetus. When he was left alone, he stood on the summit of Mount Othrys, overlooking the earth.

Under the night sky, the stars twinkled, and the empty earth was silent.

In any case, the Old Era had passed, and the New Era had arrived. At least, he was now the God King.
