Typhon

Jiang Yang opened the door and saw Artemis's beautiful, captivating smile.

Under the moonlight, Artemis's skin was snow-white, and her long silver-white hair fluttered gently in the night breeze.

She wore only a light white gauze slip dress, her stunning figure on full display. Black stockings wrapped her long, slender legs, and she stood gracefully outside the hall doors with her hands behind her back.

Jiang Yang leaned against the door helplessly and said softly.

"Artemis, it's so late. Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Aren't you still awake too, Captain?"

Artemis blinked playfully, stepped past him, and walked straight inside, calling softly.

"Filiya!"

The little blonde girl, who had her head turned as she wrote, whipped her head around and shouted happily.

"Big Sister Moon Goddess!"

"I'm here. Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Watching the two girls, one grown and one little, chatting merrily in the room, Jiang Yang smiled helplessly again and closed the door behind him.

He walked over to Artemis and got halfway through a sentence.

"Artemis, I..."

Then he saw Artemis standing by the window looking at him. She raised a fair finger and gave a gentle "shh."

"I know, Captain. But I don't need an answer right now. Please don't reject me yet, all right?"

Seeing the pleading and sincerity in her large eyes, as clear and bright as moonlight, Jiang Yang sighed.

"All right."

"By the way, Artemis, are you still sleeping here tonight?"

"Of course."

"Fine. You can sleep with Filiya again. I'll sleep on the floor."

"Captain, I actually wouldn't mind if you came and shared the bed with us. Heehee."

"Heh... then your dad would probably chase me with a blade from here all the way to the South Pole."

"Hahahaha."

Zeus finally learned the Berserk Form and invited Jiang Yang to spar.

And so.

The next day.

On an open plain near Mount Olympus.

The endless green grass stretched across it like an enormous curtain laid flat.

Jiang Yang and Zeus stood facing each other on the plain.

The light breeze from the surrounding wilderness gently stirred their clothes.

With heaven and earth so vast and open, the heart ought to embrace that same grandeur-or so Jiang Yang had originally thought.

But Zeus's old face was frighteningly dark, utterly gloomy.

"Jiang Yang, I heard my precious daughter Artemis has been spending the night in your room these past few days?"

Even scenery this magnificent can't sway a daughter-obsessed father like you, huh?

Jiang Yang was utterly speechless, but what Zeus said was indeed true, so he could only reply.

"Uh... yes."

Zeus flew into a rage at those words. He immediately assumed his Emperor-Rank Second Step Thunder Titan Giant form and roared.

"You beast! You're my brother, and she's your niece! Take this! Today, I'm going to activate the Berserk Form and teach you a lesson, you brat!"

"Hey, Zeus, nothing happened between us! I've been sleeping on the floor these past few days!"

Jiang Yang hurriedly explained.

"Heh, take this!"

Zeus's tone was disbelieving, and he attacked at once. His Artemis was so beautiful-how could this fellow not be tempted?

If it had been him, who knew how many nights of passion he would have enjoyed by now?

The enormous Thunder Titan Giant spread his massive arms to either side, and a bolt of lightning that tore through heaven and earth was grasped in his hands like a divine chain.

He swung both hands, and that immensely thick bolt of lightning plunged down through the sky, striking straight at Jiang Yang.

Left with no choice, Jiang Yang instantly entered the Forbidden Domain. With one step, he blasted the void beneath his foot, drawing a Platinum Longsword as he strode through the air.

With a reverse-handed strike wreathed in forbidden, blazing-white flame Sword Qi, Jiang Yang pierced the Thunder Giant's defensive lines one after another and slashed his sword across the Thunder Titan's chest, opening a huge wound. Golden blood sprayed across the void.

The Thunder Giant's gaze sharpened. He thought to himself that the forbidden state was indeed incomparably powerful: even with his Emperor-Rank Second Step strength, he could not react at all.

Without hesitation, Zeus immediately activated the Berserk Form. He felt his strength multiply many times over in an instant, finally allowing him to match Jiang Yang evenly.

With that, the battle grew fierce.

The two fought from the earth into the sky, from the west to the east.

For a time, they were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand or break away, and both suffered injuries.

Countless people could see an enormous Thunder Giant locked in fierce combat with a figure wreathed in golden flames high in the sky.

Occasionally, a great spray of fresh blood fell from the sky, watering the earth and causing even the vegetation to mutate.

Hundreds and thousands of years later, it truly became precious spiritual material.

And a great spray of Zeus's blood happened to mingle with blood from Jiang Yang's wounds, falling onto a small tribe of Golden Humans.

The humans of this tribe slowly began to change in form afterward, growing taller and larger. Eventually, they became a race of giants several times the size of ordinary Golden Humans.

In the sky, as the berserk state ended, Zeus finally lost. But seeing that Jiang Yang was also covered in wounds, he could not help feeling delighted.

"Sure enough, the Berserk Form really is useful."

Jiang Yang rolled his eyes in exasperation. This old fellow probably just had itching fists but was afraid he could not win.

The sunset's lingering glow spilled down.

On a grassy hillside, the two recovered for a while and were about to head back.

Zeus suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Yang.

"By the way, Jiang Yang, now that I have the Berserk Form too, and you happen to be here in Olympus, I'm confident I can get rid of Typhon."

"Typhon? What's that?"
