"Ha ha ha~~~"
Coeus's desperate attack was ultimately futile. The outcome was destined under the absolute divine power and laws. No matter how much effort he put in, the result was predetermined.
Coeus was defeated. Accompanied by the eerie laughter of the magic star, he was bound by numerous chains, instantly tied up like a cocoon, completely powerless.
"..."
Coeus was immediately hoisted up, his divine power sealed. Not even a trace of his laws could be mobilized. This moment confirmed Coeus's situation.
This was just the beginning of the battle. It should have been this way from the start. Coeus was never a match, even if he fought with all his might. The result was always going to be the same.
"Hades!" Coeus stared deeply at Hades, his voice deliberate: "What exactly do you want? What are you after?"
Hades looked at Coeus, silently saying, "Coeus, what I want is a part of your power, and that part has been sealed by you. From the beginning, you've forgotten about it."
"My power?"
"I've forgotten?"
Coeus looked bewildered, confused about what it all meant. Hades didn't waste more words, simply raising his hand. The magic star began to devour Coeus completely.
Hades did not drag Coeus into the underworld. Something felt off. If he did, it might cause problems. As the divine power was consumed by the magic star, Coeus grew weaker and started to dissipate.
This time, Hades acted slowly, not absorbing Coeus in one go but gradually over time. He could feel all of Coeus's divine power. As for Chuzhen? He just threw it in Huangquan Biryosaka, useless anyway.
Hades continued to wait patiently. As Coeus's memories were devoured, something different began to emerge. Soon, Hades found the sealed mark in Coeus's memories, even showing a smile. He finally found the most important thing. As for whether there were any issues, it was slow going.
Hades carefully absorbed the seal in Coeus's memories. As the sealed memories appeared, they almost self-destructed but were instantly consumed by Hades.
"So that's it..."
"I..."
When the seal broke, Coeus understood what he had sealed and what Hades wanted. From the beginning, Coeus realized what Hades had been planning. This seemingly mocking game, the elaborate efforts, made sense in the end. But it was all meaningless now.
The result was already decided. Coeus looked at Hades, weakly whispering, "I've become the greatest sinner among the Titan gods in this war!"
With this final lament, Coeus was completely absorbed by the magic star, becoming a source crystal. Hades casually tossed it in Huangquan Biryosaka. As for the Ultimate Power crystal? He took it with him. With the fall of one of the twelve Titan gods, Hades turned without hesitation and stepped into the underworld.
More important matters awaited.
At the same time!
Mount Olympus.
This place belonged to Zeus, just like Hades's magic star or Poseidon's Atlantis, each god king's unique item. At this moment, a graceful goddess stood beside Zeus, her expression serious and increasingly twisted. Strands of memory flowed into her mind.
"Ha~~~"
"Ha~~~"
When it was over, she was gasping for breath, her face pale.
Zeus hurried over, concerned: "Mnemosyne, are you alright?"
Yes!
This graceful goddess was Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of memory.
As for why she was with Zeus? That's due to Metis, who introduced her. Unlike Hera, Metis was not jealous. Metis was a perfect woman, embodying the ideal of a noble wife.
For Zeus, if not for Cronus's prophecy that Metis's child would replace him, the position of queen would have been Metis's, not Hera's.
Metis quickly approached, softly saying, "Lord Zeus, let Mnemosyne rest a bit."
"Alright!"
Zeus, though eager, did not rush. He knew not to be impatient.
After a brief rest, Mnemosyne softly said, "Lord Zeus, Metis, I found it! The God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method sealed deep in Coeus's memory. But due to Hades, the memory is damaged. I could only retrieve eighty percent."
"Eighty percent?" Zeus raised an eyebrow but remained confident: "No problem! Even eighty percent is enough!"
"Good."
Mnemosyne carefully transferred the memory to Zeus, who immediately began to search through it. Mnemosyne said softly, "Metis, Lord Zeus..."
Metis confidently replied, "Don't worry. Remember, Lord Zeus is also a god of thunder, and a god-king at that!"
As for Zeus, Metis, and Mnemosyne, Hades roughly guessed their situation but didn't care much. He didn't have the time. After all, he was also after the God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method.
