Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 705 Cranos? Uranos?
Armies felt like he was suffocating.

No wonder Zeus hasn't been able to regain his senses or even project a wisp of his divine consciousness for so many years.

They are not even as good as some of the weaker gods floating in the lower levels of the astral plane.

Once Mount Olympia was incorporated into the Paradise Mountains, it was essentially sold to someone else.

From now on, it can only share the same breath and fate with Mount Paradise, and can no longer refer to Zeus himself.

These Greek gods, if they could not find refuge on Mount Olympus, would truly be wandering gods with no origin.

In fact, they could easily be described as Aragami (wild gods).

But Mount Olympia still exists, leaving them with a glimmer of hope so that they won't fall into an inescapable hunger like the Aragami, who lost their source.

Most of those wild gods who devour an entire world are simply creatures who have lost their reason and are consumed by hunger because they can't get enough to eat.

The Greek gods were neither the best nor the worst.

But the only way to live like a normal god is to enter a world and become a god of faith.

If it can be similar to the laws that you have governed in the past, then it will be easier to do.

However, they do not belong to that world, yet they possess divinity... Most world wills naturally reject the divine power of other worlds.

Otherwise, so many gods wouldn't want to establish their own faiths either by completely invading or by having their followers gradually emerge from humble beginnings.

However, a full-scale invasion places too high a demand on the gods themselves and has too strong a backlash. Apart from Poseidon, who never considers the consequences, even if Almes still had his strength, he wouldn't do something so crazy.

Not to mention those weak gods who were much weaker and more wounded than him!

Getting accepted into a world and allowed to enter is the first hurdle that is really hard to overcome.

The Greek gods, unable to take this step, had only one hope: Zeus would absolve himself of his sins, rely on Mount Olympus, work for the gods of order on Mount Paradise, and then be assigned to a world where the gods of order needed to maintain balance.

This is the easiest path to take.

But Zeus's sins, though struck by divine lightning for ten thousand years, were not washed away even a hair on his head.

If the rumors are true, then what's the point of washing it?
Do you wash one layer and then add three?
The positive energy of Paradise Mountain would never accept such a power of faith; it would only reject it vehemently.

They're not like those gods of order who come with special privileges.

"Who hates Zeus so much?" Armes asked, puzzled. "He's only good at bullying his own kind; he hasn't offended anyone in other worlds!"

He's never even left Greece.

Although he finally felt Lori's sympathy, it was something Armies didn't want at all.

Deep down, he still hoped for a good outcome for Mount Olympia.

So, seeing Zeus overwhelmed by positive energy and realizing that he would eventually be cleansed, he left so decisively and turned to help Pearl's family.

Almes harbored a faint hope: perhaps if his friend and his beloved daughter appeared in the same world and took root there, Demeter's scattered spirits might be drawn to them.

She may never regain her memories, but at least she can reappear in this world.

As long as there is even the slightest trace of life, Persephone will surely recognize her mother when she enters the River Styx.

Armies genuinely felt he had made the right choice, but his former employer... his former employer was about to completely ruin everything!

Ugh!
Lowry genuinely sympathized with him.

It wasn't just because of that pink booklet that Shuni used as a training manual for her madam, nor because the booklet was passed on to Amn and Mulholland by the cat goddess Sharis, but because of who knows how many, maybe even tens of millions, of undead.

Those guys clearly knew Greek stories, and might even have shared the same origins as him.

So, just hearing the relevant names, the undead could probably recite a Greek epic poem... embellished with extra details.

Anyway, Lori had a vivid memory of that Greek mythology book... If Magic Dragon's book was a pink book that revealed primal desires in the wild, then the mythology book was an ancient erotic novel with traces everywhere, complete with extremely detailed illustrations.

If it weren't for the fact that studying classical oil painting inevitably involves related topics, Lowry probably would never have seen such a detailed original in his lifetime.

Of course, although there were translators present, they were all rather vague and general.

Some ambiguous idioms summarize most of the content, requiring careful thought while looking at the accompanying pictures to guess their original meaning.

However, these things need to be reviewed several times before drawing the human body.

In the end, no one cared about the text; they just wanted to figure out where classical lines should begin and end.

Each shadow has no external meaning; the most important thing is whether the area where the lines end is the one that is most important.

After all, if you can't learn to see the human body as lines, then sitting there is torture.

I don't know what other art academies do, but at Lowry's school, they all start by drawing older models.

Next up were the special models. Forget about beautiful women, there weren't even any young, strong men.

Young people's lines don't actually meet some of the requirements of oil painting; they're too smooth and perfect, and they don't test a person's skills.

Those who lack the necessary skills are not qualified to draw the human body.

Let's figure out how to draw still life first!
However, Lowry still remembers those shocks... After all, back then, he was still a poor kid working hard to earn money for paper and pens, and he didn't have any time to do anything else.

The first time he directly faced that kind of impact, and from such a serious reference book at that, it was quite stimulating for him.

So even though he didn't delve much into Greek mythology later on, he still vividly remembered the stories of these guys.

Surely the undead who visit Toril, who even have virtual games, don't have age ratings?
The scariest thing is that they can go offline at any time to check and then come back to increase the stake.

If the undead discover that pamphlet from the Church of Sunny, Zeus—no, the entire Greek pantheon—will be doomed!
Wait a minute… Lori suddenly remembered something that the gods and Travis had tacitly covered up: “Did you know that Toril can summon undead from another world?”

"What? The one in the abyss..." Armes' first thought was also the skeleton in the bottomless abyss.

“No…” Lori thought for a moment and then repeated the sea man’s words in their entirety, without adding a single adjective, including the three special beings from Trashir.

“That sounds interesting,” Armies blinked, giving a serious assessment.

“A difficult person to understand.” Lori shook his head and said calmly, “But the undead are not the point. The point is that he is the name of the Lord of Time and Space, named Kranos.”

"Huh?" Armes was startled and stared wide-eyed as he asked loudly, "Which Cranus? How do you spell it?"

"No, Chronos?"

“I don’t think I heard wrong, it’s Cranus,” Lori answered with certainty. “But the Sea People also said that his resurrection in Oiseus failed, and Gaia suffered heavy losses.”

I don't know what happened, but I'm absolutely sure I didn't say the name wrong.

He can speak the language of dragons, so his understanding of tones and syllables is absolutely flawless.

"I...I need to check first...Lorry, if what you're saying is true, then this is going to be a big problem!"

Lori was a little confused: "Even if Cranus really does come back to life, he'll definitely want to cause trouble for Zeus, right?"

"Heavenly Mountain isn't so easy to get into..."

“No, Lowry, you don’t understand…” Armies groaned, “Gaia and Cranos cannot be separated.”

He didn't have the ability to revive on his own.

Therefore, the Kranos of Trahir is definitely not him.

However, there is only one Greek god who can use time and space as his divine authority and dares to use this name…

"Chronos?"

"Uranus."

The two simultaneously uttered completely different names.

Lowry's pupils dilated in surprise: "Huh? Isn't he Dad?"

How could a father name his son after him... Besides, by doing this, wouldn't he be making Uranus cease to exist?
Lori genuinely believed that the God of Time, in order to conceal his existence, used fragments of Kronos that could potentially scatter throughout the entire universe...

No, how could it be Uranus?
He knew the Greek pantheon was chaotic, but he had no idea it could be so chaotic and audacious!

“It will be very difficult for Uranus to be resurrected.” After his initial shock, Armies was over it; he was quite adept at resolving all the problems his own people could cause.

Apart from Zeus's pink pamphlet.

Although he viewed this as an attack on Zeus by outsiders... considering the complex relationships among the Greek pantheon, perhaps someone could actually do it.

Putting aside others, Athena is quite adept at these kinds of flanking attacks.

“Gaia’s mad desire to resurrect Cranus is not just because he is her most beloved and obedient youngest son,” Armes said calmly. “Cranus, who dealt a fatal blow to Uranus, naturally gains three times the fighting power when facing Uranus.”

She knew very well that although Uranus would be torn apart along with the collapse of the Greek world, the god had truly done nothing wrong.

On the contrary, for the sake of that world, even though he was betrayed by his wife and children, he did not choose to tear the sky apart so that the Greek world would never have existed in the first place.

Gaia, what you took advantage of back then was his lack of responsibility.

But now, all those sacrifices he made back then have allowed Uranus to be resurrected without pain... No matter which world he is reborn in, his past merits are enough to make him a role model in that world.

Even if he's not a great mage, he must be a true god.

Just like you, Lowry, although you've had your share of ups and downs, your life has actually been smooth sailing... You're actually a bit like that, aren't you? You're also a member of the air element.

Hehe ~
If he survives, Gaia and Cranos will face certain death.
