Divine blood dripped onto the ground, and the withered earth recovered instantly, visible to the naked eye. Even the divine blood of ordinary gods is enough to revive life and soul, let alone the divine blood of the supreme Titan king, Cronus.
Cronus was silent, panting slightly. There was a long wound on his left arm—a sword wound from the earlier battle. The scars from Hades' sword were not easy to heal.
Similarly, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus were not in a comfortable position either. Despite their combined strength, they faced Cronus, who grew more formidable as the battle progressed. The number of prosthetics behind Cronus had increased to ten, indicating his true potential.
"Hades!" Zeus said, standing beside Hades with a serious expression. "You also have the power to kill gods, right?"
"Um." Hades nodded calmly, understanding that Zeus was aware of his God-Killing Flame. It was no secret; anyone could deduce its purpose.
Zeus continued, "I can't continue to hide it. Hades, Poseidon, we must end this battle quickly. I can feel Father God's power growing with each passing moment, and it's becoming frightening."
"Agreed." Hades nodded, acknowledging the urgency. He sensed Cronus gaining strength, as if he were recovering rapidly, making up for what he had lost.
Poseidon also nodded silently. He understood that if they couldn't defeat Cronus now, future plans were meaningless.
Hades shook the Pluto sword in his hand, flames of the God-Killing variety spreading from his palm to envelop the entire blade. Meanwhile, Zeus summoned his divine thunder, its golden light radiating with terrifying intensity, and Poseidon brandished his trident in a dance of power.
"Um?!" Cronus observed the power unleashed by the three gods, realizing what they were wielding. "God-Killing Flames, God-Killing Thunder, and the Corrosive Black Sea!"
With a deep gaze, Cronus felt the threat. Despite his increasing bravery, he knew he could not ignore such power.
"Great Eclipse!"
"Eternal Black Sea!"
"God-Killing Thunder!"
The three gods attacked simultaneously, their divine power and laws pushed to the limit. Their simple strikes transformed into a deadly onslaught, engulfing everything in their path.
"Father God, let's end this here."
As Poseidon and Zeus blocked Cronus's attacks, Hades took advantage of the moment to strike. With the Pluto sword, he descended from above, gathering nine stars on its blade, embodying a brilliance that represented endless darkness and the flames of divine wrath.
"This sword!" Hades declared. "It will end everything."
"Ha!" Cronus scoffed, a confident grin on his face. "Ending it so easily? I think not!"
Time and space suddenly froze, everything descending into silence. This was not a limitation of divine power; it was an overwhelming stillness. Cronus, gazing at the three gods, said coolly, "Your efforts come to naught."
"Scythe of Power!"
Raising his space scythe high, Cronus unleashed the ultimate force, ready to reap the lives of the three god kings. But suddenly, everything reversed, and Cronus's confident smile faded into shock as Poseidon's Sea Emperor Trident collided with his scythe.
Black lines of divine energy encircled Poseidon, who smiled knowingly. "Father God, don't be too overconfident!"
"Crush, Eternal Black Sea!"
The corrosive power of the black sea surged forth, shattering Cronus's attack and cracking the divine armor that enveloped him.
"Father God, this isn't over yet!"
Zeus moved with purpose, raising his thunder, leaping into the air. The God-Killing Thunder descended like a storm.
"God-Killing Thunder!"
The brilliant lightning engulfed Cronus, shattering his divine armor completely, exposing his original divine robe beneath.
Cronus gasped in disbelief. "This is impossible! How could you reach such a level?!"
No one answered him; instead, it was Hades's Pluto sword that fell in a downward arc. Hades spoke calmly: "Father God, it seems you are the true loser in this war. Your divine power can no longer block our time and space, nor can your divine weapon."
"Diamond Sand," Hades noted, recognizing the artifact that belonged to Cronus. "It was born from the laws of time and space, but even it cannot withstand the power we now wield."
