Kratos foresaw the coming of the Armageddon and it is becoming irreversible. He gathered Draco, Vandrix, Thorn and Stella to discuss something very important to them.
"I'm afraid, We might not complete the ultimate training of the Masters of the Titans. The situation is becoming really unavoidable now. If only we could break our curse in order to defend the universe from Zeo." Kratos said.
"What's wrong Kratos? What did you see?" Vandrix asked Kratos.
"I can't tell you what I saw because of my contract with Zeo. I called all of you because we really need to change our plans. I can't defend the soul stone of Baron alone. I urgently need another soul attuned being as strong as me to sustain the seal if we want to prolong the sealing." Kratos explained.
"We can make James Stanford stronger to match your strength Kratos. How about we stick to the plan and we could just offer our soul to him." Stella suggested.
"That would be an option Stella, but he will only become as strong as me or even surpass me if he will be able to beat us with our full strength because he is still not capable of using our full power as of now. I can also see Ian Whitlock as an option but I can't see what he can bring to the table. I can't read him. There is something mysterious about him that even me and other Supreme Gods can't predict. We will be taking so much risk with these options." Kratos explained.
"We can still beat Thalos and his ultimate weapon, so maybe we can take one step at a time Kratos." Draco suggested.
"Our only option for now is to let James fight his ultimate weapon, Draco. I believe he can beat that. The only chance to prolong the sealing of Baron is to let James kill Zacharias. I also saw the arrival of Zacharias while you are fighting James, Stella. That's why we need to strategize for a new plan." Kratos said.
"So what will be the plan now Kratos?" Thorn asked.
"We will fight them all at once to shorten the Training Thorn. Me, Draco and Vandrix will fight Ian's team and you, Thorn and Stella will fight James' team. This is the only way I know to prolong the sealing of Baron." Kratos said.
"But how about the Grand Soul Gem Kratos? If you lose, that means....." Stella asked.
"That would be the risk we are taking now Stella as we have no choice and everything is out of control!" Kratos yelled in anger.
"It will be all my fault if this universe will come to an end in the hands of Zeo. I miscalculated something due to my undefeated streak. I had become more confident which came to point where it became my weakness. I need to redeem myself by protecting this universe from that bastard!" Kratos said.
Kratos is the one who is protecting both the soul stone of the Baron and the Grand Soul Gem as they are one. He saw that there is nothing which can stop the ARMAGEDDON. The Top 5 Titans original plan was to complete the Training of the Master of the Titans James Stanford if he manages to reach them in time but Kratos didn't see that the return of Zeo is fast approaching and they don't have enough time to complete the Training due to the ARMAGEDDON.
"Hmmm... It seems like there's no more time for you to strategize Kratos." a loud hoarse voice from the sky said.
Kratos was shocked when he saw the Supreme God of Darkness Zeo floats above them.
"How did this happen?! How did I miscalculated your arrival?!" Kratos said to Zeo.
"You did not miscalculate my arrival Kratos. In fact, you have it there in your mind. You have just forgotten it. Hahaha. Don't worry, I'm not here to kill all of you yet. I really want to see the strongest being that can kill me and I will allow you to stick with your original plan in one condition. Hahaha!" Zeo threatened Kratos.
"What is that condition Zeo?!" Kratos asked with anger raging from his body.
"I haven't seen in my entire life that Kratos is intimidated like this. Is Zeo really that strong?" Draco thought.
"Kill Thalos and the Baron for me. I will not meddle with your plans as long as you promise me you'll kill them. I will not let my hands be filled by their disgusting blood. I will give you all 1 year to do that. If not, I'll be very happy to bring the Armageddon to your universe." Zeo said.
Kratos is still in shock that Zeo already broke his seal. "I will be glad to accept that deal Zeo, but how did you break your seal?" Kratos asked Zeo.
"Let's just say, I'm way more stronger than you think I am. Hahaha! See you next year Titans!" Zeo said and disappeared.
"Why are you so afraid of the Armageddon Kratos?" Vandrix asked.
Kratos explained the Armageddon to his allies.
"The Armageddon is the end of time and every beings' existence in a universe including the Gods and Titans who are dwelling in that universe. We are only living in a single universe with three dimensions. In fact, there are countless numbers of universes in the past millions of years ago and because of the Armageddon, we are only down to 20 universes including ours. It is a Monster which can destroy universes and Zeo is the only one who can summon it. Many great Titans and Supreme Gods from other universes attempted to beat that monster but they all failed. There are stronger universes than us but they all vanished. That's how strong Zeo is right now because of the Armageddon." Kratos explained the Armageddon to his allies.
"We need to stick with the plan now and make the Masters of the Titans strong enough to beat Zeo. They are our only chance. But first thing's first, we need to kill Thalos and the Baron within a year to prepare ourselves to the Armageddon." Draco said.
"It's time for you to face James, Stella." Thorn said.
"Be aware of Zacharias, Stella. Don't underestimate him because he is the ultimate weapon of Thalos." Kratos warned Stella.
"I will help James to kill him Kratos." Stella replied.
Luckily, Zeo had given them a chance to complete the ultimate training of the Masters of the Titans. Can they kill Thalos and the Baron in time? Or will they meet their untimely death due to Zeo and the Armageddon?
