You Olympian Pantheon Can Forget About Clearing Your Name

Russell was struck by the thunderbolt and sent hurtling backward into the deep sea, only stopping when he crashed into the seabed, creating a crater. Billions of tons of seawater flowed back, waves churned endlessly, and storms and tsunamis raged across the surface, lingering for a long time.

Russell leaned out of the pit and climbed out. His attack was to test Zeus's strength. Although he fell badly, he had won from a strategic point of view.

He tested the gap between himself and Zeus, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would basically be no match for him!

"Damn it, Poseidon's Character Card is malfunctioning, and I can't even use the trident at will." Russell touched the broken section of the trident's blade with heartache. Adamantium Blade can be repaired with divine power, but the trident is powerless.

He had risked a great deal to finally obtain the damaged artifact, but now it was even more damaged, causing his prestige to plummet from Sea King to Sea Patrol Yaksha, causing him excruciating chest pain.

"System, use 'Skill Card: Gandalf's Divine Left Hand'!"

[Skill Card: Gandalf's Divine Left Hand (Your left hand is proficient in using quest weapons)]

This skill grants the ability to control any weapon. Russell originally intended to save it for when he obtained the Infinity Gauntlet, but plans are subject to change, and if he didn't use it today, he would never have the chance again.

After using up his Skill Card, Russell suddenly felt that he could wield the trident with ease and without any restraint.

"Hey, the trident got blown up. You're embarrassing yourself, but don't drag me down with you!" A sudden voice came, and a disheveled water ghost stood up in front of Russell.

Demon, look at this!

Russell thrust his trident towards the water ghost, but a flash of silver light revealed a gleaming trident that blocked the attack.

"Look closely, it's me!" Poseidon smoothed his disheveled hair, revealing a slightly pale face. He had taken a blow from Zeus and was only now recovering.

"Of course I know it's you, otherwise I wouldn't have attacked." Russell sneered, struggling to subdue Poseidon with both arms.

Poseidon bent his knees slightly, took two steps back for leverage, and hurriedly said, "Stop for a moment. Zeus has appeared. Now is not the time for us to fight each other."

Russell raised an eyebrow and casually retracted his trident. "Fighting amongst ourselves! Are we that close?"

Poseidon didn't answer, his brow furrowed as he looked at Russell: "Strange! Why has your aura changed? It was clearly my divine power before, why is it like this..."

"Don't change the subject."

"I'm not changing the subject, this concerns whether we can defeat Zeus." Poseidon, in a friendly manner, hooked his arm around Russell's shoulder and said, "Your aura is so familiar. I feel like I've slept somewhere before, where the owner of this divine power is."

Russell: "..."

He struggled, but Poseidon held him too tightly, and he couldn't break free.

"Russell, don't be like that. From now on, we're comrades-in-arms," Poseidon said shamelessly, as if he wasn't the one who had just fought with Russell.

Russell also considered cooperating, but subtly expressed his disdain with a remark. "Poseidon, whether it's you or Zeus, you two brothers are both the same kind of people who covet my body. Why should I join forces with you?"

"While it's the truth, could you put it another way? I'm not Zeus, who's indiscriminate in his desires." Poseidon looked disgusted and Cairo's shoulder.

"Give me a reason why I should join forces with you." The reason itself wasn't important; Poseidon could give any reason he wanted, and Russell would accept it. But since it was a collaboration, priorities had to be clear, and Russell wanted to be the one to speak last, taking the initiative.

Poseidon rolled his eyes and said succinctly, "Because I am weaker than Zeus, if the two of us join forces to defeat him, we will pose less of a threat to you."

Russell: "..."

You're too honest!

"Russell, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement." Poseidon stretched his limbs. "You're a smart man, you should know that if you want to defeat Zeus, there is no other way but to join forces with me."

"Sure, but before that, let me ask you something: in the middle of the fight, won't some guy named Hades suddenly pop out of the bushes?" Poseidon and Zeus are alike, and Hades is probably similar. Russell doesn't want to fight Zeus to the death and have Hades reap the benefits.

Poseidon frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, saying, "Impossible. Hades couldn't possibly stand out from the bushes, because there are no bushes nearby."

Russell: "..."

Coach, I need to change teammates. This guy has been completely stunned by Zeus.

"Haha, just kidding." Poseidon chuckled twice, then, seeing Russell's gaze as if he were looking at an idiot, he coughed lightly and said with a cold and serious expression, "Don't worry about Hades's sneak attack. If he is really hiding nearby, he will be our ally."

"Reason!"

"He and Zeus are mortal enemies, with an irreconcilable hatred. He even wants to kill Zeus more than I do."

"Be specific."

"Uh, well... this is a family tragedy, can we not talk about it?"

"No."

"Zeus slept with his wife, used her face, and they had a daughter."

Russell nodded. With such deep-seated hatred, there was no need to worry about Hades. Hiding in the bushes was also a way to steal kills.

"Won't some other god step forward, like Ares, the God of War; Apollo, the Sun God; or Athena, the goddess of wisdom?"

Poseidon said with a headache, "First of all, I need to correct you. Apollo is not the Sun God, he is the god of light. Secondly, you don't need to worry about these guys; they're all dead."

Russell looked astonished. Although he had long suspected that the Olympian Pantheon was declining in this world, this was still too tragic. "No way, Athena is dead too?"

Where is Seiya, and how did he become his bodyguard?

Poseidon grinned slyly, looking like a seasoned veteran, and hooked his arm around Russell's shoulder again. "Young man, looks like you have some ideas!"

No, no.

"If you have ideas, then you have ideas. I often have ideas about Athena and Artemis too. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you say them out loud."

Russell: "..."

Damn it, you Olympian Pantheon's reputation is not going to be cleared!

"You're overthinking it. You might have a chance with other goddesses, but not with Athena. Her personality is very complicated: competitive, jealous, Bloodlust, and without compassion for the weak." Poseidon spread his hands, indicating that this was the real Athena, and Russell couldn't protect her.

Actually, there was something else he didn't say: Athena neither likes men nor women, and older single women only care about themselves.

Of course, it's too late to say anything now. Of the Twelve Olympians, apart from him and Zeus, the others are all dead.

"Rumble—"

Thunder stirred the heavens, making the sky unpredictable. Clusters of dark clouds obscured the horizon, and swift Lightning Snake emerged from the darkness, unleashing deafening roars.

A magnificent bolt of lightning parted the sea, revealing the figures of Russell and Poseidon. Zeus looked down at them arrogantly. "You two sinful people, since you have decided to join forces, then hurry up and attack. I will stand in the sky and not go anywhere."

"Honestly, I just can't stand his stinky face, even though he's the younger brother." Poseidon snorted coldly, his trident whipping up a torrent as he stood tall and proud, charging towards the clouds.

At the same time, Russell also stirred up a current, as if he had planned it with Poseidon, and attacked Zeus from both sides.

"Foolish, the ocean can only ever crawl at the feet of the sky..." Zeus smiled contemptuously, his whole body enveloped in a dense ball of lightning. Beyond the leaping flashes, there was a wildly dancing vortex, like a hurricane, tightly enveloping him, with faint white Electric Arc visible as they wandered and dissipated.

The sky and the sea collide once again, but this time, there are two oceans!

"Boom!!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, accompanied by torrential rain and chilling whirlwinds. The colliding energies soared into the sky, spreading outwards to form an incredibly intense white light. A huge white sphere expanded and rippled outwards, continuously washing over the already trembling space.

"Snap!"

The trident clashed with the Lightning Spear. Poseidon and Zeus were unwilling to back down. Their different energies collided, squeezing each other and being pushed far away, turning into shockwaves that raged in all directions.

An energy storm exploded, and the two took a step back. Before they could even get into position, they saw Russell move at high speed and attack Zeus from behind.

"Bite!!"

Zeus wielded his Lightning Spear to parry the surprise attack from behind, then turned and engaged Russell in fierce combat. The two exchanged blows, constantly attacking, defending, and dodging, leaving countless afterimages appearing in every corner of the sky before quickly disappearing.

Poseidon's lips curled into a cold smile as he intervened in the battle. Three energy shadows, two blue and one white, collided continuously at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The deafening sounds of battle continued unabated. The most basic speed and strength, amplified by their respective divine powers, created astonishing destructive power. Each exchange of blows generated devastating shockwaves, and terrifying energies swept across the sky and sea, pushing them far to the edges.

Zeus, fighting two opponents simultaneously, held his own. As the god of the sky who controls thunder and storms, his speed was unbelievable. A torrent of light erupted, and with a roar, he transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from his spot in the blink of an eye.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—"

In the sky, white meteors flashed by, creating twinkling points of light at an extremely fast speed, illuminating a starry sky in the blink of an eye.

Beneath the beautiful scenery lies a terrifying storm of lightning. Zeus, wielding his Lightning Spear, strikes Poseidon flees in terror, quickly gaining a considerable amount of weight.

The terrifying aftershocks of energy spread outwards, and lightning, hurricanes, and shockwaves pulverized everything around them like a catastrophe.

"Bang!"

Poseidon was kicked away, tumbling several times in the air before finally stopping, grimacing in pain. The next second, Russell was also kicked in the chest and fell next to Poseidon.

Russell wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and exclaimed, "Amazing! No wonder you are the King of Gods."

Poseidon rubbed his bruised and swollen face and snorted irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been the one getting beaten up, okay!"

"This won't do. Do you have any more powerful techniques, like a ninth sense or a tenth sense, or some kind of Cosmo?"

"Never heard of it. What is that?" Poseidon smoothed the bruises on his face and, once he was fully recovered, asked in return, "And you, do you have any powerful trump cards?"

Russell squinted. "There are indeed one or two, but I need someone to buy me some time."

Poseidon: "..."

That sounds nice, but you just want me to go up there and get beaten up. But sorry, I don't understand!

Russell glanced at Poseidon: "It's just the two of us, so you'll have to go up there and take a beating for a while."

Poseidon: "..."

You actually said it!
