The throne room became a hellscape.
Cronos wasn’t just a Titan; he was a singularity of time and brute force.
His eyes, two voids, followed me as I moved at a speed that shattered the reality around me.
“Die, parasite!” he roared, brandishing his scythe.
When the fiery blade sliced through the air, it wasn’t just after my neck; it was after my very existence.
But my training on the moon and in the abyss had changed my nature.
Instead of dodging, I manipulated the electrons of the atoms that formed the air in front of the blade.
I created a plasma barrier so dense that the impact generated a heat explosion equivalent to a small supernova.
The hall erupted.
My brothers, Hades and Poseidon, were being slaughtered by Atlas and Helios in the east wing.
I didn’t care.
If they fell, one less problem for my future reign.
My attention was solely on the sisters; With my divine sense, I located their energy signatures.
Hera used the Mirror to blind the Titans, Hestia burned away their will, Demeter buried them in the earth.
“Is that all, Father?” I mocked.
I charged a beam directly in the palm of my hand, but I didn’t fire it.
I compressed the energy down to the molecular level.
The golden sphere in my hand was brighter than a thousand suns.
I hurled it at Cronus’s chest.
In an act of desperation, he reversed the time in his own armor a millisecond before impact, causing the blow to miss, but I reacted just the same.
I accelerated the time in my own muscles, gaining a nanosecond advantage he couldn’t foresee.
I struck his face with a fist enveloped in pure static.
The impact was a sonic boom.
The pillars of Olympus were reduced to rubble.
Cronus spat golden blood.
Each time he swung his scythe, I felt him steal a fragment of my life force, but my regenerative abilities, forged in the pressure of the oceans, sealed my wounds before the blood touched the ground.
“You feed on my years, old man,” I said, laughing as my eyes began to spark with white light.
“But I control the energy that moves the atoms of this universe. You are time; I am the engine.”
I charged again.
It was a retro-causal attack.
His body shuddered, unable to comprehend how a blow that occurred a second ago was now shattering his ribs.
“ZEUUUUUS!!!” Cronos roared, raising his scythe.
The weapon glowed, absorbing all the power of the dying Titans outside, concentrating such an immense amount of divine energy that reality itself began to fracture.
The clash was going to destroy Olympus.
I didn’t back down.
I raised my vibrational frequency, becoming a spectrum of light and electricity, and launched myself straight into the edge of its scythe.
“Go ahead, try to reap what you cannot comprehend.”
The collision of our wills caused the sky to split open, revealing the void of the multiverse beyond.
We were alone at the center of the storm, and the true duel of gods was only just reaching its climax.
Author: Nice.
Imagine what I had to learn about electricity and atoms for this to make sense.
That’s why I’m releasing the saved chapters.
