Although Luo En successfully neutralized this attack, he and Hera were pushed back to the shattered and desolate island once again.
On the shoreline, Alcyoneus, the King of the Giants, lowered the heavy scythe in his hand and looked ominously at the two on the island; one of his eyes radiated its original golden color while the other was pitch black like ink.
"My dear daughter, why are you running?"
At these words, Hera’s body shuddered involuntarily, as if stirred by a terrifying memory.
Luo En also guessed the answer from Alcyoneus’s current oddity and Hera’s reaction.
—Kronos had possessed him.
It looked like the graces bestowed on the Giant Spirit Clan by the old one were indeed harboring ill intentions.
Luo En snorted coldly to himself, but the gloom in his heart had thickened profoundly.
It wasn’t enough to have a Demon Ancestor Typhon with a perfect vessel; the Divine King Kronos also decided to join the fray.
He was now attended by two Divine King level monsters, a treatment not even the previous Zeus had enjoyed.
"I’ll cover the rear! You find a way to open the path!"
Accompanied by a subdued murmur, Hera continuously drew the Heart-seeking Bow, turning several swooping Poison Dragons into a pile of mutilated flesh.
Thanks to the nourishment of the Magic Potion, even if her injuries weren’t fully healed, her Divine Power had mostly restored.
Although psychologically intimidated to confront Kronos, who had once swallowed her, she was still capable of dealing with the charging Magic Beasts and Giants by delaying Typhon’s offensive rhythm.
Sensing the delicate touch behind him, Luo En nodded slightly, curled his finger towards one side, and grasped, causing the dead-branch-like long spear stuck in the rock wall to buzz and fly back to its owner.
With the return of the Divine Artifact, he immediately stimulated his Divinity to the utmost and charged directly at Kronos blocking the shoreline.
The Nation-building Spear ignited fierce crimson flames, like wildfire stars, staining the chaotic marine region with a bright crimson.
However, Kronos, taking possession in the body of King Alcyoneus, proved to be even more difficult to handle than Luo En had imagined.
As ancient Titans, one had Authority but lacked a fitting vessel, and the other possessed a body but lacked corresponding Authority; their combination resulted in an effect greater than the sum of their parts.
And the heavy scythe in the opponent’s hand, forged by Mother Goddess Gaea, was incomparably sharp, capable of easily severing even the Heavenly Father Uranos’s genitals.
Luo En’s currently makeshift Divine Body naturally could not withstand the edge of this Divine Artifact.
What’s more fatal, Kronos was not alone; he was also leading a large number of Giants.
Among these Giants, there were also those who had inherited the Divine Authorities of the Twelve Titans.
Luo En carefully counted, and there were nine Giants who had mastered the Chief God’s Divine Authority, exactly the number of the main Titans except for the Goddess of Justice Themis and the Goddess of Memory Mnemosyne!
Could it be that those vanished Old Titans had all rallied under Kronos’s command?
The more Luo En fought, the more alarmed he became, and after about a hundred moves, he was unexpectedly cleaved back onto the desolate island by Kronos, taking advantage of his strength and size.
As dust filled the air, Luo En leaned on the Nation-building Spear to stand up from the deep crater, his Sacred Robe already disintegrated due to the blow’s impact.
Meanwhile, Hera, who was responsible for delaying Typhon and the group of Magic Beasts, had also reached her limit, clutching her slightly bleeding abdomen, gasping heavily and swaying.

The Demon Ancestor had indeed boasted the proud feats of defeating eleven Olympian Chief Gods on his own and now, with a perfectly compatible vessel back on the surface, he was even more formidable, far beyond what Hera could handle.
That Hera had managed to hold on until now was already a miracle.
When it rains, it pours; before the two could catch a breath after reuniting, a patch of water mist erupted in golden light on the distant chaotic sea surface.
A Golden Aquarius, enveloped by gathered starlight and carrying three nymphs, surfaced amidst the siege of a large group of sea beasts, visibly developing cracks at a visible speed.
Before the mouth of the vase, the Goddess of Youth, Hebei, dressed in a golden battle robe, became very anxious upon seeing this.
"Why is she also here?"
Hera looked towards her daughter in a dangerous position on the surface of the sea, her face a mix of astonishment.
"It was too urgent; I needed her to lead the way for me..."
Luo En replied solemnly, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"Though I gave her a Sacred Robe to protect herself and asked her to quickly leave with the three nymphs she encountered on the way, it seems she still couldn’t escape."
For safety, he had sent out the Aquarius Sacred Robe allied with Hebei on the way here.
This daughter of Queen Hera truly possessed remarkable talents and divine power, well-capable of controlling the Sacred Robe.
But usually at Olympus, she was only tasked with duties like serving wine; her combat experience and skills were pitifully inadequate.
And thrown directly into battle, she encountered the allied forces of Demon Ancestor Typhon and Divine King Kronos; even such an exceptional princess couldn’t withstand the siege of numerous magic beasts and giants in the Chaotic Sea.
Seeing that a full retreat was now a luxury, Hera steeled herself, lifted her hand, and dispatched Ladon’s head, her gaze resolute.
"You take them and go; I’ll cover our retreat!"
"Alright!"
Luo En nodded emphatically, slapping Hera on the shoulder.
She agreed? So quickly?
Hera was slightly startled, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.
However, the next moment, her body soared into the air, plummeting towards Hebei and the others in the sea like an arrow leaving the bow.
Listening to the howling wind by her ears, Hera glanced towards the smiling figure waving at her from the desolate island, and suddenly realized.
This bastard, he actually tricked me!
And Luo En, having successfully sent his lover away, ignored the distant, resentful, and complicated gazes, turned to face the belated realization of Typhon and Kronos chasing after them, his hands grasping the Spear of Nation Creation, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
"Gentlemen, over here!"
Amidst the call, a web of ice cracks rapidly covered his entire body, and the raging boil of divine power and divinity burst forth as a fierce blaze from the cracks.
Typhon and Kronos instinctively turned their heads to look, suddenly noticing on the barren island the glowing human form that shone like a merging star.
This kid’s going to... self-destruct?
"To punish the guilty, to bring death to life, with my body, I offer it as a sacrifice..." Enjoy new stories from Freewebnovel
In the midst of his low chanting, already covered in luminous lines, Luo En raised his hand, making a cheerful V-sign towards Typhon and Kronos, who were in the same frame.
"Come on, cheese!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, a massive mushroom cloud soared up, and the huge forms of Typhon and Kronos bore the brunt, their bodies continuously torn and reborn in the violent tide of magic power.
Torn again, reborn again...
