“`
However, what responded to him were the very thunderbolt arrows that had once defeated the Titan armies, accompanied by Hera’s disdainful cold laugh.
“I am very lucid, more lucid than ever before! I am sick of those old days, let whoever wishes to be the Queen. You shall no longer manipulate me with that, Zeus!”
Zeus, in front of his throne, quickly raised the Aegis Shield to block the impending volley of thunderbolt arrows.
But because the attack emanated from a being of the same divine origin, even the supremely defensive Aegis Shield couldn’t completely block the invasion of power, causing Zeus’s arm to ache and tremble, his internal organs to shake violently, and a thread of golden-red divine blood to overflow from the corner of his mouth.
“Enough!”
The wounded Zeus, furious, suddenly grabbed the Aegis Shield in his hand and swung it towards Hera in front of him.
“Boom!”
In an instant, a golden thunderbolt struck from the clear sky, hitting Hera squarely, the smell of charred skin and flesh wafting along with a suppressed grunt, immediately permeating the air.
Legend has it that the Aegis is a symbol of thunder clouds; when it is placed in the sky, the weather turns dark, and when Zeus takes it up, the sky clears.
Therefore, this divine shield could be used not only for defense but also for offense.
The air crackled with a high concentration of electric charges, Hera, who had taken a direct hit from the thunderbolt, stood in a charred pit with disheveled hair, her pale face, trembling hands holding the bow, and a trickle of golden-red blood at the corner of her mouth, clearly severely injured.
Seeing this, a ruthless look flashed in Zeus’s eyes, and he did not hesitate to raise the Aegis Shield again, pushing his authority to the extreme.
The ferocious lightning, like a venomous serpent from the sky, snaked down, forming a dazzling silvery glow, aiming directly at Queen Hera on the field.
If this massive strike were to hit Hera again, it would surely cause grave injury, and the force that threatened Zeus would be immediately diminished.
At this moment, Athena, fully armed, stepped forward decisively, put away the Spear of Victory, and with both arms raised another Aegis Shield to block Zeus’s otherwise unstoppable thunderbolt.
The Divine King Zeus’s full-powered hit slammed onto the Aegis Shield, causing Athena below to grunt.
Realizing she had underestimated the divine might of the thunderbolt, the Goddess of Wisdom clenched her teeth, her arm muscles tensed drastically, burning her divinity and authority to their fullest, creating a glory as bright as a stellar explosion.
“Boom!”
The clashing divine powers stirred up a terrifying Aether Storm around them, cracking the ground of the plaza layer by layer, violently shaking the whole of Mount Olympus.
Both Athena and Zeus, locked in direct confrontation, staggered backward simultaneously, and each spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
“Aren’t you going to strike now?”
Before the aftermath had subsided, a deep shout came from the settling dust.
The watching pantheon of gods, as if awakened from a dream, immediately joined forces to attack the wounded Divine King.
The gods, caught red-handed, looked towards Eris in the sky with gloomy faces and murderous intent, wishing they could pluck every hair from her body.
But before they could act on their thoughts, two auroras as brilliant as stars also arrived, descending upon the outskirts of Mount Olympus.
As the crimson and azure luminescence faded away, the figures of Ares, the God of Berserkers, and Hermes, the God of Speed, emerged.
By now, except for Demeter, the Agriculture God, and Hestia, the God of Stove, the ten chief deities of Olympus had all arrived.
Zeus, restrained on his throne, couldn’t help feeling overjoyed at the sight.
“Eris, well done!”
Months ago, Eris was reported to have sneaked into the Sacred Garden and stolen more than twenty precious Golden Apples.
Hera was infuriated by this and prepared to teach this unruly godspawn a lesson.
Originally, Zeus wasn’t particularly fond of this trouble-loving daughter either, but considering her slight connection with Nyx, the Night Goddess, Zeus eventually intervened and saved Eris, then as usual sent her back to the Primordial Ocean to continue afflicting the life of the Sea of Okeanos, weakening the sea’s Divine Authority.
Unexpectedly, his previous unintended protection allowed Eris to bring the three Hundred-Handed Giants to Mount Olympus at the critical moment.
Indeed, as The Three Fates had said, he was the King of Destiny! As long as Destiny favored him, no one could shake his Authority!
Zeus struggled to break free from his restraints on the Divine Throne, solemnly commanding,
“You three, what are you waiting for? Hurry and help your king quell the rebellion!”
Upon hearing this, the three Hundred-Handed Giants roared low, jointly ascending Mount Olympus and entering the battlefield.
Zeus then gazed somberly at two other figures in the clouds.
“Ares, Hermes, don’t tell me you too wish to join the traitors?”
“Of course not, Father God, I’m thinking of a way to untie you right now!”
Hermes, the quick-witted god, immediately grinned and darted toward the throne, away from the most dangerous part of the battle.
“I’ll help too!”
Ares, looking at his mother surrounded by the three Hundred-Handed Giants and his father bound to the throne, finally made a smart decision, following Hermes to find a way to untie the Divine King.
Seeing the situation turn around, Apollo, Athena, and Hera, who were part of the rebellion, felt a sinking feeling, a look of determination flashing in their eyes.
They were all in!
