Seeing this, Roya couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration. "Damn you, Goetia! If it weren't for that bastard giving Kronos a Holy Grail, this monstrous abomination would never have been created!"
This thing was too horrifying.
Even the mighty War God had been swatted into the ground with a single slap—utterly defenseless!
"Yeah, it's all that bastard's fault!" Souma agreed without hesitation.
That guy had given Tiamat a Holy Grail, given Kronos a Holy Grail, given that fox spirit one too... Handing out Holy Grails left and right, creating one terrifying Singularity after another.
Forcing him to fight tooth and nail, barely surviving each time.
Damn you, Goetia!
Cú Chulainn shrank back. "At this level, I can't even imagine how to defeat it!"
Good grief, the battle against the Lion King had already been grand and terrifying enough.
They'd only managed to resolve that Singularity because Tiamat had gone easy on them.
But now, facing Kronos—a being hellbent on destroying the world, with destructive power rivaling a Beast of Humanity—who the hell knew how to defeat it?
Forget him—even his teacher Scáthach wouldn't stand a chance.
She always said, "A spear thrust at its peak can slay even a god."
But you've got to consider which god we're talking about here!
Is this thing even something a human can defeat?
Artoria set down the bread in her hand and murmured softly, "Many times stronger than the Lion King."
As someone who had experienced it firsthand, she was the most qualified to judge.
Even at her peak, wielding the Holy Lance as a divine spirit, she couldn't compare to this monstrosity.
After all, she had only been a god corrupted by the Holy Lance.
But this was the genuine King of Gods!
Under the gaze of the crowd, the terrifying being arrogantly flaunted its power.
"Zeus, all of you shall perish!"
"I will annihilate the Olympian gods, erase all life from this world, and remake everything anew!"
Its earlier conversation with the Demon God King Goetia had convinced it to exterminate all living beings.
This world was already tainted—it needed to be reborn!
As the rightful King of Gods, it refused to be a mere pawn in Goetia's schemes!
"I am Zeus, the King of Gods who rules the heavens and all creation! Since I defeated you once, you shall remain defeated for eternity!"
Zeus soared into the sky, glaring at his foe with fury.
He was the sovereign of the heavens and the world—no one dared challenge his authority.
His scepter erupted with boundless lightning.
Zeus brandished his scepter, pointing at Kronos who had transformed into a colossal giant. "Father, the times have changed! You shall be cast aside!"
After completely abandoning their mechanical forms in the past, the Olympian gods became local deities by being reborn as the children of their predecessors.
But from the very beginning, the other side had sought to kill Him—there was never any so-called father-son affection.
Boom!
Dazzling thunderbolts split the heavens.
They transformed into countless lightning dragons of immeasurable length, converging with a deafening roar into an enormous pillar of thunder.
Zeus chanted loudly, "O sky, be torn asunder! O stars, be shattered—"
"All that is in the heavens is mine, all that rules the world is mine!"
"A magnificent execution upon my father!"
[World Discipline Keraunos!]
Boom!
The massive lightning dragons merged into one, crashing down upon the giant.
Brilliant light erupted as the sky-piercing giant was utterly swallowed by endless thunder.
The entire screen became a sea of lightning, obscuring everything from view.
However.
As the light gradually faded.
From within the endless thunder, an enormous hand large enough to blot out the sky reached out and seized the King of Gods, Zeus!
His arms were scorched by the lightning, his body wreathed in crackling thunder.
Yet, Kronos remained completely unharmed!
All his injuries healed at a visible, frenzied pace!
"No, the times have not changed, Zeus!"
Kronos roared, "This era still belongs to me! You are the ones who shall be cast aside!"
Boom!
Zeus was hurled violently into Mount Olympus by a single swipe of his hand, shaking the sacred mountain to its core.
The mighty King of Gods had been utterly defeated!
The audience was momentarily stunned into silence—
-[Holy shit, even Zeus going all out was defeated by him???]
-[This guy is terrifying! Even if he's not as strong as Tiamat at her peak, he's easily surpassed 90% of her sealed power!]
-[This proves that "A magnificent execution upon my father" is no match for "He said it's okay to go!"]
-[The divine drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety has ended—now it's up to Nameless to step in!]
...
Fuyuki City Hotel.
Gawain, watching the video, smirked. "Mordred, this guy's copying you!"
"..."
Mordred was speechless.
Seriously? Watching a Greek mythology video and somehow getting dragged into it?
Now countless people were spamming her with tags.
Was her past really going to be exposed over and over again?
"Tch, Zeus failed, just like you!" Gawain gloated.
Back then, Mordred had also rebelled, leading to the fall of Britain.
She had been personally impaled by King Arthur's spear.
This proved that the "Spear of Filial Piety" was stronger than the "Sword of Patricide"!
Now, even Zeus had been defeated by his father.
The two situations weren't just similar—they were practically identical!
"Get lost!" Mordred felt a vein throbbing on her forehead, barely restraining herself from cutting down this smug bastard.
Where was the noble, radiant Sun Knight she knew?
Why was he such an insufferable jerk?
In the video.
After the King of Gods was defeated, the battle escalated into full intensity.
Apollo, the Sun God, immediately launched his attack.
Behold, his hands raised towards the sun, a miniature sun gathering between his palms: "I am Apollo, God of the Sun, wielder of the power of destruction!"
"Praise the Sun!"
Boom!
The small sun suddenly expanded, absorbing infinite solar energy, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that blasted toward the giant's location.
At the same time.
Poseidon brandished his trident: "In the name of the Sea God, roar, O ocean!"
The ocean erupted in fury, churning into towering waves that solidified into countless icy tridents, all aimed at the giant.
In that moment, the gods sensed the threat of death and acted without hesitation.
Yet.
Despite their combined assault, Kronos remained utterly unaffected.
Apollo's flames and Poseidon's tsunami created a clash of fire and ice, yet they couldn't hinder him in the slightest—each attack was swatted away like a fly.
Kronos strode forward, intent on delivering the final blow.
In desperation, Apollo cried out: "Nameless, save me!"
The gods' attacks were nearly futile against this terrifying entity; they couldn't defeat him.
Then, a figure dashed forth in the nick of time, slashing his sword at the colossal giant.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted.
Though tiny as an ant before the giant, his single strike halted the titan's advance.
Relief and joy spread across the faces of all the gods.
Indeed, the one blessed by all the gods was even stronger than they had imagined!
Nameless radiated with the aura of twelve divine powers.
At this moment, he was not alone!
Not alone in this battle!
Behind him, the combined might of the twelve Olympian gods manifested as ethereal figures, hovering in unison.
Nameless pointed his sword at the giant: "Kronos, as long as I stand here, you shall not destroy this world!"
"Oh, a human from the same timeline as the Demon God King?"
Kronos looked down at the tiny ant before him. "Why are you helping a bunch of gods?"
"I'm not helping them—I'm helping humanity!"
Nameless answered without hesitation.
Without the power of the Twelve Olympian Gods, he wouldn't even have the right to stand before Kronos.
"Hahaha, what an amusing human!"
Kronos burst into laughter. "Human, rest assured. I will only slaughter the gods. All of humanity shall exist eternally under my protection!"
"That Demon God King foolishly sought to ignite human history as fuel to return to 4.6 billion years ago and become the planetary consciousness, Gaia."
"But I—I will take control of human history. So, I would never destroy humanity!"
Having glimpsed humanity's future glory, He naturally wouldn't let such a weapon slip away.
By seizing human history, He could wrest authority from the Demon God King Goetia and rule this planet for eternity!
Did a mere upstart really think they could use Him?
Pure delusion!
Kronos extended a hand in invitation. "Come, become my subordinate. I shall grant you immortality, and you will rule over humanity alongside me forever!"
"But I refuse!"
Nameless rejected without hesitation, drawing his sword and pointing it at the titan. "That kind of existence is nothing more than being treated like livestock. Give me liberty, or give me death!"
The other claimed to preserve human history.
But this was utterly different from Alaya.
Alaya was the collective consciousness of humanity's self-preservation, existing solely to ensure humanity's survival and prosperity.
But this creature's so-called "control" over human history was clearly about enslaving humanity for eternity!
If humanity remained enslaved, there would be no future!
Then what was the point of all the blood he had shed while walking among humans?
"Do you even realize what you're rejecting?!"
Kronos roared, flames spewing from his mouth as his fury grew. "You dare refuse my grace? Then die!"
With a thunderous slap, He sought to crush the boy beneath his palm.
A cataclysmic explosion erupted.
The earth caved in violently, forming a massive crater.
Gods and humans alike watched in tense silence.
Yet—
The boy emerged unscathed in the sky!
Twelve divine halos shimmered around him, bestowing immense power.
Whoosh!
Nameless swung his sword, transforming into a devastating beam infused with the power of the gods, and struck the giant head-on.
Crack!
One of Kronos' massive arms was severed on the spot.
But the titan had a hundred arms—such wounds meant nothing. The severed limb regenerated instantly!
The spectators gasped—
-[A hundred arms, a hundred heads—how long will it take to cut them all?]
-[They say cats have nine lives—does this guy have a hundred or something?]
-[Overthinking it. It's just the ultimate version of immortality—freaking unkillable!]
-[If even Nameless, wielding the combined power of the gods, can't defeat him, then who can?]
