"Don't get cocky, Zeus!"

"Your father's curse will soon come true. My remaining demon spawn will help the child of the curse overthrow your divine authority. When that time comes, you too will be imprisoned forever!"

Almost the moment his words ended, the seal descended completely. All of Typhon's remaining roars and resentment became the thunderous rumble of a volcanic eruption.

The gods immediately erupted in cheers. This meant they had overcome the crisis and even saved the world.

Yet some gods did not look pleased, and Poseidon, god of the sea, was the most obvious among them.

He had never expected Zeus to be so powerful. Even without lightning, he could still fight Typhon to a standstill. After all, Poseidon himself had been sent flying with a single sweep of Typhon's tail!

Although Typhon's power had been greatly weakened after eating the One-Day Fruit, Zeus had also lost his lightning. It could only be said that both sides had suffered losses. At the very least, Poseidon believed that even against Typhon after he had eaten the One-Day Fruit, he would never have been a match for him.

This battle had shown every god Zeus's strength. Before this, Zeus had won more through wisdom, always relying on the advice of Metis, goddess of wisdom.

But in the battle against Typhon, Zeus used his fists to tell every god just how enormous the gap between gods could be.

What the gods did not know was that Zeus, the absolute hero who had defeated the monster Typhon, was anything but calm inside. In fact, stormy waves were raging in his heart.

The unwilling words of Typhon, progenitor of demons, were like a demon's whisper. Having suffered greatly in this crisis and nearly failed, Zeus could not help worrying about the coming curse.
