Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 915 Is this Greece yours, Zhou's, or mine, Xu's?
Although the war was called the Titanomachy, it appeared to be a struggle between three generations of gods, led by Zeus, and their father gods and the Titans for control of the world.

However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that the number of Titans behind Zeus was even greater than the number behind Cronus, the Titan king.

More than half of the Titans were on Zeus's side, and there were even more prestigious outsiders supporting him.

The outcome of the war was already known from the beginning, and in the end, only Cronus and Iapetus were able to fall into the abyss with Cronus.

Isn't it ironic that the King of Titans only has two Titans left to follow him?
Once upon a time, the Titan king who once possessed the courage to separate heaven and earth and save the Mother Goddess has become a mediocre ruler who fears fate and resists the future.

Under Hyperion's justification for his actions, Cronos readily admitted it.

In the Battle of the Titans, he had already become the enemy of the world, and defeat was only a matter of time.

“I accept your explanation, Hyperion, but now that you have chosen a new God-King, why regret it again?”

Hyperion's words successfully persuaded Cronus to temporarily set aside the matter of Hyperion's past betrayal and to continue discussing the next steps with Him.

“I do not regret what happened back then; I did it to uphold the rule of us Titans.”

After all, even if a new god-king was appointed, the great gods were still the Titans, who controlled the celestial bodies, Themis who governed their operation, and Oceanus and others.

"And I am in the same boat now, and in order to maintain the rule of us Titans, I need to seek your help to do so."

The movement of celestial bodies in the sky gradually lost the gaze of onlookers, and the ocean was no longer the river that encircled the world or an inaccessible taboo.

Everything in the world is evolving, the glory of the Titans is gradually fading, and people are beginning to pay more attention to things closely related to their own lives, rather than to the world as it always has been.

Oceanus withdrew from the world, Mnemosyne went into hiding, and even the Titans who supported Zeus were gradually disappearing from the main stage of this world.

This is why Hyperion so desperately wanted to liberate Cronus, not because he wanted to support Cronus to become the king of the gods again.

Rather, it was to convey to Zeus that you are not irreplaceable, and you cannot afford to lose the support of the many Titans.

If the great gods remain hidden, how can the younger generation on Mount Olympus possibly defend against potential threats? For example, what about Cronus, who is imprisoned in the abyss?

As for supporting Cronus's ascension to the throne? That's impossible. How can a god-king who has already abdicated once ascend to the throne again?

Restoring the old era would only destroy the new one, and Hyperion would not do that.

And this is something that Hyperion himself was not the only one who knew.

Iapetus, who had been silent all along, keenly sensed Hyperion's intentions.

"You actually dare to think you can use us as a tool to admonish or warn that Zeus? That's far too arrogant, Hyperion!"

Even the usually composed Iapetus couldn't help but utter words that were half sarcastic and half annoyed when he realized this.

It's not a two-faced surrender, but rather an attempt to use them as tools, and not just them.

Even Zeus, who had defeated Cronus, was seen by Hyperion as someone to warn and admonish, with Hyperion believing his actions could serve as a warning and achieve his own goals. Arrogance, far too much arrogance! Did he really consider two god-kings as beings he could manipulate and influence?
Iapetus couldn’t help but berate Him, even feeling that Hyperion’s arrogance was not just a matter of pride, but a kind of overconfident conceit.

Where did He get the confidence that everything would develop as He envisioned, achieving the result He desired?
“Even if you rebuke me like this, Iapetus, I don’t care.”

Hyperion paid no attention to the other party's scolding, but continued to insist on his own purpose and ideas.

"The glory of the Titans rests entirely in my hands, and if I do not do it, no one else can take on this burden."

"Arrogance? Condescension? Those are your opinions. I have my own considerations, otherwise I wouldn't have come to seek your help."

"No, it should be called a transaction."

This is a deal where both sides get what they want, allowing Kronos and his companions to leave this desolate and silent abyss and return to the world.

Whatever their intentions, when they return, revenge and war will be inevitable.

Hyperion wasn't particularly concerned about how the war would unfold or what its final outcome would be.

As long as the world isn't shattered and the universe isn't incomplete, it doesn't matter; the question of who the victor is isn't that important.

Whether Zeus continued his victory and defeated Cronus, or Cronus learned from his mistakes and achieved a stunning comeback, it didn't matter much.

However, Hyperion still favored the former, since Cronus had been imprisoned for so many years, stripped of his divinity and artifacts, and would only be weaker than before.

But if this battle can make Zeus realize that the power of the Titans is indispensable, and that this world ultimately needs the protection of these great gods who created the world, that will be enough.

Zeus was indeed powerful, demonstrating near-invincible strength during the previous turmoil in Typhon.

But that was a personal battle, not a war. It relied solely on Zeus's strength, without the support of other great gods (the Titans). Even if he won, it would be difficult to protect the entire world.

This was Hyperion's general plan: to use war to make Zeus understand the importance of the Titans, and that no matter how flashy the younger generation was, they were still just the younger generation.

For Cronus and his companions, this was their only chance to leave the abyss, return to that world, vent their anger and resentment, and announce their return for revenge.

It can be considered a win-win transaction, but the feeling of being used as a pawn is not pleasant.

Cronus remained silent, Iapetus pondered the gains and losses, while Crios, after a long pause, finally grasped the meaning.

"Hmph! Your Majesty, ignore him! Even without his help, someone else will come to help us get out of here!"

Unexpectedly, Cleos said something that surprised everyone.

“I suddenly remembered that while I was sleeping soundly, there was a guy named Typhon who said he was the son of the Mother Goddess and came specifically to help us leave.”

"So we don't need to agree to this guy's request. Someone will come to our rescue when the time comes!"
