Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 914 Did I betray them? If I betrayed them...
The figure that slowly emerged from the abyss of darkness no longer possessed the glory and stature of a giant god.

Like any ordinary thing on earth, it didn't even have a trace of divine light, as if everything had been worn away by the abyss, leaving only this body intact.

The streamlined shell, as if polished, mirrored the abyss beneath its feet, leaving only the human form, but no face.

Compared to the other three Titans, Cronus was the smallest, like a lowly human.

He lost the most in the Titanomachy: the throne of the world, the artifact that cleaved the sky, the glory and divinity that were erased, and now only his body as a Titan god remains.

Even so, the other three Titans present still looked at Him with utmost respect, regarding Him as their leader.

The majestic Cronus bowed his head, and Iapetus knelt before Cronus, expressing that even now he still admired him wholeheartedly and that his loyalty had never changed.

The loyalty of Cronus and Iapetus to following him to this abyss is beyond question; after all, a disloyal two-faced person wouldn't go this far.

Hyperion is such a disloyal two-faced person.

"Why bother? This is no longer our time. In this abyss where nothing exists, there is no longer any need to prove loyalty."

Cronus gestured to the two men that they didn't need to go through with these formalities, but although they raised their heads, they still acted as if Cronus was the center of attention.

Even after losing everything, and even though the Titans themselves no longer acknowledged him as the King of the Titans, Cronus still had the support of his staunch confidants.

"Hyperion, my brother who once betrayed me, have you finally remembered us?"

Although most Titans do not distinguish between male and female, only a few, deeply influenced by humans, choose to differentiate, such as Themis.

However, the Titans still maintained the custom of calling each other brothers to prove their kinship.

Unlike Cronus, who was not brainless, Cronus mocked Hyperion for his current predicament.

Because it is obvious that Hyperion came specifically to find them, to this abyss where nothing exists, where everything ends.

"Is it that kid who's going to take my place finally making his move on you? Heh, only now do you finally remember us, your brothers?"

Hyperion's purpose was obvious without needing to be explained further.

After all, aside from Zeus wanting to harm Him, there is no other reason why Hyperion would specifically come to the abyss to find Him.

It's impossible that Zeus is getting old and suddenly reminiscing about a kinship that never existed, and then, in a moment of despair, suddenly wants to let them go.
The probability of this happening is almost zero, and even if it were to happen, it would be Rhea who would try to appeal to emotions, not Hyperion, the traitor who betrayed them.

As a brother, how could Cronus not know what Hyperion was probably thinking?

"You are as wise as ever, our god-king Cronus."

Hyperion readily admitted that his motives were impure, and showed no shame or remorse for his past betrayal.

"No, I am no longer the God-King. The one standing here now is merely an unnamed Titan from the abyss."

"Having lost everything, I am no longer worthy of being called that by you."

"Of course, you don't need to seek my help, and I have no ability to help you with anything."

Knowing Hyperion's intentions, Cronus was quite direct, rejecting Hyperion's request before even speaking. His words also carried a hint of sarcasm towards Hyperion.

Cleos, who was standing nearby, slapped his forehead and finally understood what the two meant, and suddenly realized.

"So, Hyperion, you haven't fallen into the abyss yet? How annoying! I thought you were finally coming to join us."

"But it seems it's about time, hahaha, you betrayed us, you betrayed the Titans, and in the end you'll suffer the same fate as us, ahahahaha!"

Unlike the silent Iapetus and the composed Cronus, Crios mocked mercilessly.

"Now, you've even been chased by that little brat to the point where you have to come to us for help. How ridiculous, Hyperion!"

Despite Crios's mockery and Cronus's cold stare, Hyperion showed no sign of urgency.

Having betrayed before, it's impossible for Him to quickly regain trust; He had long been prepared to be treated this way.

"Don't get me wrong, I did betray you, but I never betrayed us Titans."

In response to Clios's mockery, Hyperion replied with confidence and without a hint of embarrassment.

And after saying this, Hyperion finally looked Cronus in the eye and continued.

"Am I not right? My king of the Titans, have I betrayed my Titan gods?"

"Your wife Rhea favors her son Zeus, and Themis and Mnemosyne even believe that Zeus will succeed you as the king of the gods."

“Oceanus favored Zeus, my child was captivated by Zeus, and even Iapetus, Prometheus who inherited your wisdom, did not also acknowledge Zeus?”

“These people already make up more than half of us Titans, not to mention the support of Nyx, the goddess of night, and our mother goddess.”

"I recited all these names in one breath," Hyperion said in a booming voice.

"Under those circumstances, did you also consider me a traitor who betrayed us Titans?"

On the surface, it was actually the third Zeus, rather than Cronus, the Titan king, who had more support from the Titans.

Even the mother goddess Gaia had long ago prophesied that Cronus's child would inherit her throne as the king of the gods, but Cronus still tried to escape this fate.

Faced with Hyperion's righteous and eloquent defense and questioning, Cronus remained silent, while Crios, who supported him, was furious.

The towering giant raised his fist, seemingly wanting to slap the insolent Hyperion twice.

"Stop, Cleos."

But when the giant god raised his fist towards the sun, Cronus called out to stop him.

“He is right. It is my fault. I have long since lost my right to be the King of the Titans.”

"The signs of failure were there from the very beginning."
