Chapter 42: Extremely Shocking
God cannot be killed.
Since the birth of the Chaos world, all the gods born have never fallen. Even the king of gods Uranus has only fallen into eternal sleep, but has not really fallen.
But gods can be imprisoned.
Therefore, the punishment of being imprisoned in Tartarus forever, which was passed down from the first generation of God King Uranus, was also used by the second generation of God King Kronos.
But he had never actually imprisoned other gods. This was his first attempt, and the result caught him off guard.
At this moment, he couldn't even maintain the majesty of the God King, and couldn't even control his expression, his face full of disbelief.
Looking at the other party's reaction, Tarun knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved.
As early as when he pushed for the end of the Golden Age and accelerated the birth of golden humans, Taren had already achieved powerful divine power.
Although they are still not as good as the Titans who have accumulated thousands of years in this position, they are not weak gods, at least they are far superior to those third-generation gods.
But his power is special, he can use the elusiveness of fate.
Thanks to the blessing of the great god-king Uranus, after being recognized as a priest, Taren has been deeply bound to the fate of this world. The more prosperous the world is, the stronger he is.
But he is not equal to this world. His relationship with the world is more like that of fish and water. The better the water quality, the fatter the fish. But correspondingly, the fish will also try their best to do things to make the water better. The two complement each other.
The Chaos world does not have its own will, but it recognizes this model, so when Taren's own strength is strong enough, he can temporarily borrow part of the world's power.
This is something he has figured out over the past thousand years, inspired by the fact that the God-King gained the power of creation through the recognition of the world.
Ordinary gods cannot borrow because they are not deeply bound to the world. The God King can borrow because he manages the gods and does a lot of things that are recognized by the world, so the world supports him to continue managing the gods and continue to do such things.
If that's the case, then why can't I borrow it when my destiny is entangled with the world?
The success of this attempt made Taran realize that the world does not only support the God King, and even gave him many other ideas, but he did not have time to try them yet.
Maybe later...
Although he did figure it out, it consumed too much divine power. At Taren's current level, he could only resist Kronos's judgment with the power of the God King once in a short period of time.
If Kronos were to pronounce the sentence again now, he would still be imprisoned in Tartarus.
but...
The corners of Taren's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at the God King in front of him who was in shock and doubt without fear, his eyes full of amusement.
For the cautious and suspicious Kronos, once was enough.
"Your Majesty, perhaps you made a mistake. Not all gods can be imprisoned."
Tarun's expression was somewhat helpless, as if he was a kind elder, shaking his head and sighing for the younger generation's disappointment: "Looking at you, I always think of your father."
"He was just as naive as you were at first, so his ending wasn't very good."
Listening to Taron's words, Kronos felt a chill spreading rapidly from the depths of his heart to every limb, and a speechless, huge fear enveloped him.
He almost wanted to take out his sickle immediately and use all his strength to destroy this existence that threatened him, but he didn't do it in the end.
He found that even though he was the God King, he was not sure of winning against Taren!
But he didn't dare to do it without the certainty of victory.
Because of his caution and suspicion, he thought about the consequences of doing so, thought about the mysterious method that allowed Taren to resist Uranus when he was so weak, and even thought about Uranus's end...
All this made him feel terrified.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. His brain was working rapidly. He simply gritted his teeth and gave an order to this space: "I, Kronos, in the name of the King of Gods, order that no god may enter or leave this place!"
He blocked the entire void.
He didn't know if this would trap Tarun, but at least he didn't want other gods to come and inquire about the situation.
After doing all this, he took a deep look at Tarun, who still had a smile on his face without any change in expression, and turned and left.
At this moment, he was shocked too much. Ever since he was recognized by the world and felt the terrifying power of creation, he has always believed that he is omnipotent, absolutely powerful, and absolutely invincible.
This is not because he is confident or arrogant, because this is what the whole world tells him, and it is the confidence given to him by that powerful force.
But now this perception has been broken.
Although he was not defeated and Taren did not attack him, he was still deeply shocked.
He was so eager to ask the three goddesses of fate that he didn't even care about the possible reactions of the gods to this matter.
None of the great gods were fools. They realized something was wrong after hearing the verdict but not seeing the punishment. Some of them quietly went to the void, but soon discovered that the entire void had been blocked by the God King.
They couldn't get in at all, nor could they investigate what was going on inside.
But that doesn't stop them from making guesses.
If Taren had been imprisoned in Tartarus, why would the God-King go to the trouble of sealing off the void?
This seems more like a delaying tactic that can only be used temporarily after the detention failed.
And when someone visited Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, and learned that Taren was indeed not imprisoned in the abyss Tartarus, the gods immediately guessed the truth.
Kronos tried to imprison Talon, but failed.
The fact that the verdict has been pronounced but the punishment has not yet arrived means something that goes without saying.
Countless gods were shocked by this. Although they had long known that Taren's true strength was far stronger than the divine power he displayed, and they had long known that he was mysterious, no one had expected that he would be so powerful.
Even the God King can't do anything to him!
Is this the magic of fate?
No god could figure it out. They were only certain of one thing, that is, they had to be more polite to Taron in the future, and that the other party might really be fate itself.
Invisibly, Taron's position in the hearts of the gods became more and more important, and all this was thanks to the king of gods Kronos.
But this was not the purpose of Taren doing all this, although these gains were already expected.
At this moment, Prometheus outside the void looked at the "cage" in front of him with an extremely complicated expression. He remembered what Taren said when he met him not long ago.
He said that the King of Gods would be watching him for a long time, so let the little guy Zeus do whatever he wanted, and everything would become very simple.
At that time, Prometheus didn't know how Taron would attract Kronos's attention. He just felt that it would be very difficult to get the full attention of a king of gods.
But now, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.
Once this happens, even the curse will probably be put aside, and Kronos's attention will never leave Tarun.
Although Taren seemed to be trapped, the other party seemed to have expected it. Prometheus once again remembered what Taren said when they met last time.
He said, "If I am trapped, don't worry, someone will come to help me get out of this trouble in a short time."
However, this was a "cage" set by the God King himself. Who could possibly have freed him? Furthermore, he was begging him to escape. Zeus had the motive, but he didn't have the ability.
It can't be that the God King who imprisoned him is begging him to come out, right?
Prometheus shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind him.
