In reality, continuing to fight would truly serve no purpose.
Even with the four of them joining forces, they could at most gain some advantage, but couldn't completely resolve the problem.
Continuing to entangle in battle would have no substantial meaning other than causing greater trauma to the world, and he also feared completely cornering Zeus.
Moreover, he, Kronos, was the God King now!
The world now destroyed beyond recognition was all territory under his rule!
Having actually vented his anger, the God King who had now calmed down looked at the shocking ruins of the world before him, his heart aching terribly.
All this destruction was of the world he had painstakingly created!
Zeus completely ignored Kronos. In the time of these few sentences, the injuries on his body had already mostly recovered.
His form moved slightly, and he had already quietly positioned himself protectively in front of Rhea, his handsome and majestic countenance now filled with deep remorse.
He spoke in the most respectful tone, apologizing to Gaia: "Respected Great Mother Goddess, Lord of All Things, this time it was indeed my lack of thorough consideration, failing to completely control the war within a safe range."
"In the future, I will do my utmost to transfer warfare to the empty starry sky outside the world. Such a beautiful world should not suffer such grievous harm because of disputes between us gods."
Hearing Zeus's sincere and respectful words, much of the anger in Gaia's heart dissipated.
She was very satisfied with the humble and responsible attitude Zeus displayed.
She waved her hand lightly, and her originally urgent and anger-filled tone softened accordingly, carrying a trace of helplessness and weariness as she said: "Enough, your family affairs—fight however you want, just don't implicate the innocent lives of the world."
Upon hearing this, Zeus gently shook his head, his face that had returned to calm now bearing unmistakable bitterness: "Respected Mother Goddess, this scene of widespread suffering is truly not the result I wanted to see."
"After the destruction caused last time, I originally intended today to invite His Majesty the God King to go directly to the starry sky for a decisive battle, to avoid harming the world again."
"But there was some interference. My consideration was indeed not thorough enough, leading the battle to spread to this extent. I assure you that I will do my best to prevent such things from happening again in the future."
Upon hearing these words, Gaia's emerald eyes containing golden light glanced meaningfully at Coeus and Phoebe not far away, whose faces were like frost but whose divine eyes burned with rage.
She sighed quietly in her heart, but ultimately said nothing.
The main reason for her sigh was regret that Coeus and Phoebe had actually gotten involved in this war.
These two children of hers had always been renowned for their intelligence and strategy.
They had been clever all their lives, but during this most crucial period of cosmic transformation, they chose a path that was really not very wise.
Gaia's heart was now also filled with hesitation and uncertainty.
With things having developed to this point today, there was no longer any possibility of retreat.
The entire universe's future hinged on this father-son conflict.
But what the final outcome would be, even she, as the Mother of All Things, could not determine at this moment.
She hoped Zeus could achieve victory, but as Kronos's mother goddess, she really didn't want Kronos to fall into complete ruin either.
If Zeus truly overthrew Kronos, then how should he deal with his father god?
That result was something she was unwilling and afraid to contemplate deeply in her heart.
With a breeze that seemed to carry a light sigh, the majestic figure of Mother of All Things Gaia disappeared without trace, as if she had never appeared.
The gods on both Zeus's and Kronos's sides each let out cold snorts filled with hostility and disdain, then transformed into streams of light and returned to their respective places.
Kronos appeared tough on the surface, but his heart was actually burning with anxiety at this moment.
He increasingly clearly recognized that this rebellious son Zeus was excessively strong.
Moreover, the rebel's current power was also excessively inflated!
The Oceanus family supporting the rebellion was still within his expectations—Oceanus could help anyone but would never help him.
Unfortunately, after Philyra returned to the ocean there had been no news of her, and he now knew nothing about the specific situation in the ocean.
However, beyond his expectations and weighing heavily on his heart, Crius and Hyperion's families—these two incomparably powerful brothers of his—had actually so firmly and unwaveringly supported Zeus!
This was far too ominous. Simply adding insult to injury!
Originally he had thought that these two great families, even if they didn't support him, wouldn't rebel.
But now it seemed he had been too optimistic.
Now the rebel's forces, on the surface, were already more powerful than his own.
It was just that the various Primordial Titans were limited by their oaths and their other considerations, so they couldn't personally enter the field.
But their current displayed actions had already clearly and unmistakably indicated their stance. Trying to pull them back to his camp was absolutely impossible.
One of the most important reasons he had so easily called off the fighting just now was because of this.
He feared that if the battle continued to escalate, other Primordial Titans would also be unable to resist personally entering the field!
Then advantage would quickly become disadvantage!
Even complete suppression!
The more Kronos thought about it, the heavier his mood became.
Looking around at all the Primordial Titans, among all the Primordial Titans now, only Themis who represented sacred justice and order, and Mnemosyne who symbolized memory and civilization, had not yet clearly chosen sides.
Themis was incomparably formidable—her sword of order and justice commanded great respect even from the God King.
Mnemosyne was usually low-key, but that didn't mean she was weak!
Looking at her authority showed just how important she was!
She said she wasn't good at combat, but how stupid would one have to be to think she really couldn't fight?
Their current choice would be the most crucial point.
It could even be said that whichever side they ultimately stood on would be able to achieve final victory in the coming ultimate decisive battle, completely overwhelming the other side!
Although today's battle was fierce and reached this state, Oceanus and the others had after all not personally entered the field yet.
Kronos firmly believed that as long as he could demonstrate absolute overwhelming victory, these Primordial Titans would continue to remain silent and wouldn't rashly enter the field personally.
Only if they could continue to remain silent and not directly enter the field to help this rebel Zeus could he truly defeat this rebel who caused him such anxiety!
The other rebels were manageable—the main one was still Zeus. This rebellious son was really too strong.
There was also another point—he must strive for the support of Lady Night Nyx.
Only with the Night Goddess's support could he more smoothly cast all those rebels into Tartarus after victory!
It must be said that in dealing with powerful law incarnations, Kronos's and Zeus's thinking was truly of the same lineage, identical.
Truly worthy of being father and son!
