Chapter 65 Discovering the Lie
Taren's appearance caught all the gods off guard.
It should be noted that this mysterious god of fate has not shown his face for ten years.
Cronus was initially very wary of him, but he gradually calmed down after hearing the three Fates say that Taron would not participate in the battle for the title of god-king.
Now, not only has this guy reappeared, but he's right in front of him!
Seeing Zeus, along with Poseidon and other gods, roaring as they charged toward the Titans behind him, Cronus realized something was wrong.
Isn't this the plan Prometheus was talking about?
Find someone to hold off the strongest person in the opposing camp, while your own strongest person crushes the other gods, thus tipping the scales of victory.
However, they couldn't find anyone to hold Zeus back, but Zeus did find someone to hold him back.
Prometheus wasn't lying; he did indeed see a glimpse of the future, and Zeus did indeed not come forward to entangle him, but instead went to do something else—it was voluntary, not passive!
Kronos's face instantly turned ashen. He realized that the situation had become extremely bad, and all of this was because of the person in front of him.
Taren was still dressed in the same outfit he never wore before, and even his face and the smile on his lips hadn't changed in the slightest. Kronos looked at him, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment.
But Taren seemed oblivious to the murderous glare Kronos was giving him, and greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty, how have you been?"
Cronus narrowed his eyes, becoming even more vigilant, and gripped his scythe tightly.
So many years have passed, and he still doesn't know Taren's true strength. Given his cautious and suspicious nature, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

He didn't make a move, and Taren naturally wouldn't either. Just as the two were facing off, the battle on the other side had already begun in earnest.
Zeus charged toward the Titans with unparalleled power. The gods, who had already witnessed Zeus's power, were immediately terrified and hurriedly used the power of the laws to resist.
But Zeus's power was too great. He was already able to fight back against Cronus, who possessed the power of a god-king. Now, facing these ancient Titans, he had completely overwhelmed them.
Moreover, a divine staff had appeared in his hand at some point, crackling with lightning. The terrifying power of the lightning caught the gods off guard, leaving them unable to even receive the next attack.
Not to mention that Zeus had the help of other gods behind him.
Poseidon roared, and the earth cracked open. The endless ocean waters, under his control, roared and rushed toward the gods.
The spectacle was so great that the gods then noticed that Poseidon had somehow acquired a trident, and whenever he swung it, the ocean would boil, as if roaring in response to his anger.
Moreover, in the endless darkness, an invisible figure quietly circled behind the Titans, and when he launched his attack, the gods were unaware of what was happening.
When Zeus, accompanied by Poseidon and Hades, went to rescue the Cyclops, they obtained three artifacts.
These are the Thunder Staff, which can control lightning; the Trident of Poseidon, which can manipulate the ocean; and the Invisibility Helmet, which can conceal one's form.
With these three divine artifacts, Poseidon and Hades, who were already quite powerful, instantly gained the strength to fight the ancient Titans head-on, while Zeus—was even no longer afraid of Cronus's divine power!
The extraordinary ferocity of these three gods was quickly noticed by the god-king Cronus.
His gaze fell upon the thunder staff in Zeus's hand and the trident in Poseidon's hand. Sensing the familiar fluctuations emanating from those weapons, the expression on the face of this god-king instantly became extremely interesting.
He sensed the same aura emanating from those two weapons as from the scythe in his hand.
This means that the two weapons and his scythe have the same origin; they are all divine artifacts capable of destroying the world. And currently, only those three people in the world are capable of forging such divine artifacts.
"Cyclops——"
Cronus quickly understood what had happened, and he practically spat out those four words through gritted teeth.
Cronus knew the abilities of the Cyclopes better than anyone else; after all, without the scythe in his hand, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the powerful god-king Uranus.
Now, history repeats itself, and these three giants have once again forged an invincible artifact. This time, the god-king to be defeated is none other than Cronus.
It seems that after all the twists and turns, nothing has changed, only the roles have been reversed.
"No, I will never be defeated like Uranus! Fate is on my side!"
Cronus let out a furious and unwilling growl, but before he could think of a way to deal with it, Zeus roared and a torrent of lightning struck the ground, causing a huge crack to suddenly appear in the earth.
In the endless abyss, three figures, several times larger than mountains, were climbing outwards. They were hideous, with a hundred arms and fifty heads. The moment they saw the light of day again, they let out a deafening roar.
That was—the Hundred-Handed Giant!
"Zeus! How dare you release these giants?!" Cronus's eyes widened in fury, and he could no longer remain calm.
Not only him, but the other Titans also felt a terrifying threat.
It's important to know that these three hundred-handed giants were imprisoned by Uranus because they were too powerful, even more powerful than the twelve Titans!
When Cronus became the king of the gods, Gaia wanted to ask him to release these giants, but Cronus refused because these giants were too powerful and would threaten his position as king of the gods.
So he never expected that Zeus would be so bold as to release these terrifying monsters!
"Stop him!" Cronus could no longer remain calm; he roared, "We can't let him unleash the Hundred-Handed Giant!"
The other Titans also realized the gravity of the situation, knowing full well that if the Hundred-Handed Giant was released, they would have no chance at all.
So, all the Titans went all out. They briefly broke free from the entanglement of the Olympian gods and rushed towards Zeus like madmen, trying to stop him from releasing more giants.
Even Cronus couldn't care less about Taron for a moment, and used the power of creation of the god king to launch a frenzied attack on Zeus.
One after another, the power of laws surged forth, converging into a vast and terrifying force that surged toward Zeus.
This was a combined attack from six ancient Titans and a God-King. Under this terrifying power, the earth was cracking at a visible speed, and the magma gushing from the cracks intertwined with the seawater to form a boiling vortex.
This attack was so terrifying that the aftershocks alone caused the entire world to collapse and split apart!
At this moment, Zeus had no chance to escape; he was still helping the Hundred-Handed Giant open the exit of the abyss!
He had no choice but to open up at this moment, because the commotion caused by the birth of these giants was too great to be concealed. If he released them in advance, Cronus and the others would be prepared.
Just as Zeus was preparing to use his powerful divine body to withstand the attack, a figure appeared.
Taren appeared before Shens, facing the combined attack of seven great gods, including even the King of Gods. Taren's expression remained unchanged; he simply smiled and raised his hand.
In an instant, the power of the laws erupted, and countless threads of destiny emerged from each person, eventually converging into a vast torrent that appeared before Taren, causing the entire world to resonate and tremble.
He borrowed the power of this world and used the fates of everyone to withstand this blow.
It's as if this terrifying attack was distributed among every living being in the world, even including the Titans themselves who launched the attack.
This move was so earth-shattering and awe-inspiring that even the Titans were stunned and stood frozen in place, unable to move for a moment.
While they were still stunned, Zeus let out another earth-shattering roar, wielding his thunder staff with great force. Under the terrifying power of thunder, the sealed gate to the abyss was finally opened completely.
The colossal hundred-armed giants finally emerged, letting out excited roars as they charged towards the Titans in the sky, their massive forms almost blotting out the sun as they moved.
At a time like this, even the dumbest god would know to fight desperately, because the situation couldn't get any worse!
The six Titans finally stopped hesitating and began a desperate fight, hoping to find a final chance for a turn of events.
Meanwhile, Cronus, the king of the gods, was filled with shock and anger. More than Zeus releasing the hundred-handed giant, he could hardly believe that Taron was so powerful!
At that moment, his heart sank completely, but he also knew that he had no choice but to fight desperately; there was no time for him to prepare any further.
He could only grit his teeth, grip his scythe tightly, and charge toward Taren, already prepared for his defeat.
This is a true life-or-death struggle, a fight with all our might, abandoning everything else.
To his utter surprise, the powerful attack he had imagined did not materialize.
Taren was only on the defensive, and even under his frenzied attacks, he was barely able to hold his own.
Cronus was very surprised. In his perception, although Taren also possessed the divine power of a Titan, he was still no match for the power of the God-King, yet he was able to evade his attacks every time.
Kronos sensed it carefully and quickly discovered something. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he blurted out, "You're not that powerful at all! Your power all comes from stealing?!"
Taren smiled at him: "Oh, you found out."
"What a pity, you discovered it too late."
Cronus was so cautious that, even though he was extremely wary over the past tens of thousands of years, he never actually made a move. Even when he did test the waters, he would only strike once and then retreat.
So much so that he never realized that the mysterious Taren in his mind was actually far less powerful than he had imagined.
But as Taren said, he discovered it too late.
