Ch.91Ep.91 Conquest of Olympus

“Clang!”

“How unsightly, brother.”

“Poseidon!! How dare you betray Olympus without any gratitude!”

Hades roared in fury at Poseidon, who had blocked his attack aimed at Radios.

He hadn’t expected his brother, who had been the most reasonable among them, to switch sides to Kadinant.

“If you return now, I’ll forgive you! But if you continue to interfere like this…!”

“I’m sorry, brother. You and I have already crossed a point of no return.”

Rumble.

As Poseidon raised his Divine Order, Hades frowned and stepped back.

His plan to strike Radios first to gain the upper hand had been foiled.

“Hades. From now on, if you act on your own without warning, I will kill you without asking for reasons.”

“…I will correct my behavior, Lady Nyx.”

“Now then… I would like to have a conversation with you, Radios Magnum.”

After giving Hades a light but firm warning, Nyx expressed her desire to speak with Radios with a smiling face.

A man who had reached the pinnacle with a human body.

Although he had borrowed the power of the Blind Idiot God, his efforts should never be underestimated.

However, Radios had no desire to engage in conversation with her.

“My goal is the complete destruction of Olympus. I have neither the will nor the value for dialogue.”

“Such a resolute fellow… But don’t think you’ll defeat me easily.”

“..!”

Nyx’s divine form completely dissolved into night, and a formless energy rushed toward Radios.

Radios didn’t panic and scattered his Judgment Divine Order to take control of the surrounding space.

Nyx, who had tried to strike first, had to reveal herself again with a bitter taste in her mouth.

“Chaos Release.”

“Haha!”

Radios didn’t miss the opportunity and tried to bind Nyx as she attempted to escape through chaos.

However, Nyx was no ordinary opponent, and she avoided his attack by completely shattering the chaos as if warming up.

Perhaps that was the beginning.

“Solar of Laser!”

Hemera shouted a wide-area spell, boosting the morale of Olympus.

“For Olympus!!”

Crackle!

Starting with Zeus soaring into the sky while spreading lightning energy.

“Sweep them all away!!”

The battle that would determine the fate of Kadinant and Olympus had begun.

**********

“You patricidal son who killed Uranos! You’re my target!”

“Hahaha, I’d rather not face an ancient god who provokes me like that.”

As soon as the battle began, Hemera cast buffs and immediately charged at Kraud.

The power she sensed from him was that of Cronos, who had killed Uranos.

For Hemera, who knew how dangerous that power was, it was a natural choice.

‘Uranos was the closest to perfection among us. He was on the verge of awakening his Ascended Order.’

In that state just before falling asleep, Uranos might have awakened his Ascended Order.

But the fact that he was defeated and killed by Cronos meant he had failed to awaken his Ascended Order.

And it also meant that Cronos had enough skill to defeat Uranos at that time.

In other words, only Nyx and herself could handle Kraud here.

‘That fool is distracted by that guy Radios…!’

It meant she had the precious prey all to herself.

“Haaaah!”

Hemera created a massive axe disproportionate to her size and swung it down toward Kraud’s head.

However, he easily relieved the pressure by utilizing his time Divine Order.

Freed from the Scythe’s tattoo, he was now able to fully control his Divine Order.

“Rewind, and acceleration.”

Hemera was returned to the moment just before her axe struck, and Kraud’s speed accelerated.

As a result, Hemera faced a counter just before her attack could land.

“Damn it!”

Clang!

She barely managed to change the trajectory of her axe to deflect the Scythe.

But the death Divine Order imbued in it instantly corroded the axe made from the day Divine Order, which could create infinite life.

Only then did Hemera realize why Cronos had been able to kill Uranos.

“You handle two Divine Orders by yourself?!”

“I may still be inexperienced, but facing one ancient god is within my memory!”

“Ugh!”

Thinking the momentum had shifted to his side, Kraud immediately pressed Hemera with his Scythe.

The scythe, which was the embodiment of the death Divine Order itself, could implant the concept of death with just a single cut.

Although the death would be implanted slowly due to Hemera’s day Divine Order, a single cut would be enough to secure victory.

The worst-case scenario would be if she awakened her Ascended Order.

‘I’ll end this before that happens!’

Kraud had no intention of giving her time to awaken her Ascended Order.

His attacks with the Scythe, appropriately using the time Divine Order, targeted Hemera’s openings.

She was barely able to block his attacks.

‘Damn! Damn! Now I see this guy is also a madman on the verge of awakening his Ascended Order!!’

If Kraud had focused on just one Divine Order instead of two, he might have already awakened his Ascended Order.

She wasn’t sure whether to consider this fortunate or to worry about him handling two Divine Orders.

‘Dragging this out only disadvantages me. To be precise, time is on his side.’

Hemera could sense when time accelerated, slowed, stopped, or reversed.

She wasn’t inexperienced enough to not notice such fluctuations.

The problem was that even if she sensed it, her body couldn’t react.

At most, she could only deflect or block attacks.

‘Zeus and Hades never told me about this!’

Hades had said that Cronos could only handle the time Divine Order.

In fact, Cronos had deliberately allowed himself to be killed by them to be reborn as Kraud.

Hemera didn’t know that the current Olympus regime was unaware of Cronos’s true capabilities.

“Damn it all!”

Boom!

Finally, Hemera, who had been desperately blocking attacks, began to scatter light.

Kraud, sensing something had changed, paused his attack and stared at her.

“What is that power…?”

“I didn’t want to do this, but if you keep provoking me, I have no choice!”

With those words, the energy emanating from Hemera surged dramatically.

It was on a completely different level from what he had been facing until now.

“What have you done?”

Kraud asked her calmly, hiding his inner confusion.

“Do you think I’d tell you? I’m not that stupid.”

Hemera, who had no intention of revealing her abilities to her opponent, silently advanced toward Kraud step by step.

Seeing this, Kraud first stopped time and thought.

“It doesn’t seem like she had her power sealed. Then such a surge in energy… Could it be that this isn’t her main body—”

“Your deductive skills are impressive.”

“..!”

Clang!

Kraud quickly swung his Scythe toward the source of the voice.

He managed to block Hemera’s attack as she swung her axe upward from beside him.

“Ugh…”

His arm felt numb. If his reaction had been even slightly slower, he would have lost an arm.

But what surprised Kraud more was:

‘She’s free in stopped time… I guess I can’t use the time Divine Order like this anymore.’

Hemera, seeing Kraud’s momentum falter, showed a triumphant smile.

“That was just a taste. I didn’t want to get involved this deeply, but you—”

Boom!

In the middle of her tirade, Hemera surrounded herself with a barrier, sensing a chilling energy.

Kraud, who had appeared instantly and swung his Scythe, clicked his tongue and stepped back.

“What was that just now…?”

“Since you didn’t tell me your abilities, I don’t plan to tell you mine either.”

“Tsk, this is getting interesting.”

He couldn’t tell how time had moved. He couldn’t even sense it.

If that was the case, there was another way to utilize it that he could infer.

“You. You’ve changed the subject of your Divine Order from external time to internal time, haven’t you?”

“And you seem to have summoned your main body from somewhere else. Am I wrong?”

Kraud responded to Hemera’s question with a question of his own.

And although they were asking questions, they both already knew the answers were true.

“You know, guys like you are the most troublesome to deal with. I really hate those who use their wits or pop up here and there.”

“If you hate it so much, why not kindly offer your neck? I’ll cut it cleanly for you.”

“I don’t like your provocative attitude either.”

Rumble.

The warmth disappeared from Hemera’s eyes, and only killing intent enveloped her.

If until now she had been adjusting to her main body’s power, from now on she would be going all out.

“Hahaha, that’s what I want.”

Slash!

Before Hemera could try anything, Kraud cut off his own left arm.

She frowned at the sight of Kraud suddenly harming himself.

But when his arm bulged and regenerated into a black-colored arm, she let out a sigh.

‘I can sense the death Divine Order from that arm.’

Come to think of it, Kraud was of the goblin race, which had the power of infinite regeneration.

The fact that he cut off his arm and created one filled with the death Divine Order meant…

‘He can utilize the death Divine Order at any time.’

What was certain was that from now on, even a slight touch from that arm would rapidly worsen her condition.

It seemed the phase of throwing out checks and gradually increasing power was over.

From now on, it was a true all-out battle with no room for further strengthening.

“May the blessing of day dwell within me.”

“Stardust.”

Rumble.

As warm energy blossomed from Hemera’s embrace, and a massive meteor began to fall from the sky…

“Die!”

“Haaah!”

The battle between Hemera and Kraud began to head toward its conclusion.
