Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Hades couldn't understand why Rhodes wanted to protect Athena's divine body! Without Athena's soul, it was just the shell of an ordinary god.

It's completely useless, and you'll have to go to great lengths to stabilize his energy, otherwise the body will dissipate.

"Haha, Athena's divine body is very important to me," Rhodes said, touching Athena's body.

Once you arrive in the Saint Seiya world, you can use this divine body to your advantage. This is the true divine body of the goddess Athena. Why don't you Saint Seiya warriors come and pay your respects?

Moreover, he now has another thing to manipulate Athena with. The Athena from the Saint Seiya world is much more appealing than the Athena from this world.

More importantly, the other party does not possess a divine body and can only transform into a mortal form.

Furthermore, taking it a step further, this goddess Athena's body could also be fed to the Ten-Tails! At that time, the Ten-Tails would directly grow a fruit containing the essence of the ancient Greek gods.

However, Rhodes coveted the body of the god who was fed to the Ten-Tails. He wanted the body of the god-king Poseidon and the god-king Zeus, since both brothers would die at Kratos's hands in the future, and their divine bodies could not be wasted.

There were also the bodies of the sun god, Hera, Hercules, Hephaestus, and even Zeus's father, Titanonus.

Kronos's bloodline is exceptionally good!

Anyway, in this Battle of Olympus, Rhodes plans to follow Kratos and pick up some benefits, and then sabotage Kratos.

Thinking of this, Rhodes happily took Athena's body into his private space and provided life energy to keep the divine body active.

Watching Rhodes caress Athena's body with obvious affection, and even collect her divine form.

Hades suddenly felt a chill. Could his ally have some kind of unusual fetish? He didn't like living goddesses! He preferred the bodies of dead goddesses!

What a peculiar hobby! Speaking of which, during our earlier conversation, his female companion, whose name I think was Sylvanas, mentioned that she was taken in by Rhodes when she was still an undead.

Thinking about this, Hades seemed to have confirmed something: his ally seemed to be very interested in the corpses of some goddesses!

At this moment, Rhodes was unaware that Hades had labeled him as having a fetish for goddess corpses.

Rhodes, no, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I only did something to the Queen in her necromancy state!

After Athena was killed by Kratos, even she herself thought she was going to die, but Athena's soul would form a very special state, which occurred twice.

One instance was after Athena was killed by Kratos with the Olympian sword, which resulted in her forming a very special divine state.

He also appeared once after Zeus was killed by Kratos with the Olympian sword, along with his grandmother Gaia.

He possessed immense power, yet was ultimately defeated and killed by Kratos's unleashed power of hope. Rhode couldn't understand why he was in this state. But considering the circumstances of both of them...

Rhodes deduced that this state must first be caused by a god of the highest rank, and secondly, by someone killed by the Holy Sword of Olympus, because many other gods had been killed by Vitos, but none of them had shown any abnormalities.

But only when they were killed by the Holy Sword of Olympus did the two gods undergo this change in state. It seems I can study it a little when I have time. I also want to collect the Holy Sword of Olympus.

After dealing with Athena's divine body, Rhodes and Hades secretly returned to the Underworld. As soon as Hades returned, he received a message from Zeus that the gods were to hold a meeting.

The two of them could guess the reason for this meeting without even thinking; it was definitely aimed at Kratos.

"Mr. Rhodes, is it necessary to eliminate everyone among the Olympian gods this time?" Hades asked.

"First of all, Zeus, the king of the gods, will definitely die!"

Hades did not object to this; instead, he nodded in agreement.

Having been thoroughly corrupted by the Titan's curse and become extremely biased and capricious, Zeus was indeed no longer qualified to lead the Olympian gods.

"Hera, the queen of the gods, was Zeus's wife. Do you think she would be with you?"

Hades shook his head upon hearing this. He wouldn't want that jealous old woman even if she were with him.

"Poseidon, will he listen to you? Will he support you in becoming the king of gods?" Rhodes asked.

Hades shook his head again upon hearing this. Poseidon was not the kind of person who would submit to others. If Zeus fell from power, Hades would definitely find a way to take over if he were still alive.

"Apollo, the god of light; Artemis, the goddess of the moon; Hermes, the messenger of the gods; and Hephaestus, the god of fire—they are all children of Zeus. Do you think they will help you?"

"And then there are the sun god siblings, Helios and Eos, who could even betray their father Hyperion," Rhodes said.

Save your breath, buddy. There's practically no one among the Olympian gods on your side. A few years ago, you might have been able to make a plan, but now all the gods have been influenced by the evil thoughts of Pandora's Box, and it's all too late!

Hades sighed helplessly upon hearing this. It was bad enough that he hadn't counted them all, but when he did, he was shocked to find that almost all of the twelve Olympian gods were Zeus's people.

The only foreign goddess of love, Aphrodite, wife of Hephaestus, was also the mistress of Zeus, the mistress of Ares, the god of war, and several other major gods, or perhaps the mistress of a handsome young man in the mortal realm.

It seems like there's not a single one of these main gods I can trust. It looks like I have to start all over again!

"Cupid! We can try to win her over later! Anyway, this woman is basically just playing around with the other gods," Rhodes said.

"Well, Mr. Rhodes, you can stay in the Underworld for now. I'll head to Mount Olympus."

Hades nodded, chatted with Rhodes for a few more minutes, then took his leave and returned to Mount Olympus to attend the council of the gods convened by Zeus.

After Hades left, Kratos used the power of the Temple of Fate to bring the Titans from the past into the present.

However, the mysterious forces of time and space have changed. Rhodes observes that Kratos brought the Titans to this era through the palace of the Fates.

Instead, it freed many of the sealed Titans, because Kratos altered their predetermined fate, preventing them from being sealed during the great war, so they are now naturally free.

"I have to say, the Temple of Destiny in this world is truly amazing. It can change the timeline, but it doesn't have much of an impact on reality!" Rhodes said.

"I think this temple of the goddess of fate might have a huge impact on you in the future. Why don't we think of a way to steal it?" Sylvanas said as she approached Rhodes.

"No! This Temple of Destiny is the key to this world's survival. If we take it to another world, it might end up like the Infinity Stones, unusable." Rhodes shook his head and said.

There are some things that Sylvanas cannot understand or see clearly, but Rhodes can see very clearly. Kratos has repeatedly used the power of the Temple of Fate to modify time and alter the fate of the Titans.

This temple of destiny has already reached its limit. It is estimated that after all the Titans are teleported here this time, the temple of destiny will be destroyed.

"In that case, instead of feeding your divine tree fruit to the Olympian gods, why don't you feed it to the Ten-Tails, a giant Titan?" Sylvanas said.

These Titans were all around a thousand meters tall, each a colossal being. However, compared to the Creator Titans of their own world, they were still tiny, since the Creator Titans were equivalent to the size of planets.

Their bodies contain extremely wild and primal divine power, which is far stronger than that of their descendants. Rather than feeding their offspring to the Ten-Tails to produce the God Fruit, it would be more worthwhile to produce a Titan Fruit.

"I've thought about that idea before, but the Stone Tail's ability to devour has its limits. Letting the Ten-Tails devour these Olympian gods is already its limit."

"But the Titans, whose divine power is far greater and who possess even more savage and primal divine power, have not yet cultivated ten-tailed beasts that are worthy of their current status," Rhodes said.

He had thought about this before, and he had even conducted some small experiments with Athena's divine body in his private space.

The Ten-Tails barely managed to devour Athena's divine body, let alone the Titans, whose size was enormous and whose divine power was dozens of times greater than theirs.

"It seems you're planning something big this time. Should I get involved?" Sylvanas asked.

After following this man, her strength improved rapidly, but as her strength increased, she found herself increasingly unable to keep up with her man's pace.

Sylvanas is now eager to help Rhodes, even if it's just a little bit; she doesn't want to gradually become a marginal figure.

She exists as his wife, but only as a decorative figurehead.

"In the underworld there is a fine bow and arrow, which was once Apollo's bow and arrow, and possesses powerful fire power."

"And there's a Typhon ice bow and arrow. If you like, I'll fetch both bows and arrows for you," Rhodes said.

Kratos was incredibly wasteful! Of all the weapons he collected in the second game, he only brought the Golden Fleece and the Wings of Icarus to use in the third game; he abandoned all the others.

By the end of the third generation, many artifacts were damaged, so the bows of the sun god and Typhon's Ice Calamity were both very suitable for Sylvanas.

The bow and arrows that Sylvanas is currently using are merely crafted by mortals, and are not even in the same league as the two divine bows and arrows used by Kratos in the God of War world.

"If it could increase my strength, that would be wonderful, my dear," Sylvanas nodded and said.

I don't want to be just a pretty face; I want to help Rhodes fight.

"Alright! Kratos has already taken the Titans to Mount Olympus, let's raid his base." Rhodes smiled and opened a portal.

Hades arrived at Mount Olympus and found that many gods were absent from this meeting of the gods. Athena had been killed, the god of war had betrayed them, and several gods had been killed by Kratos. Mount Olympus now seemed rather deserted.

Even Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon, were absent for some unknown reason. Even Hera, the queen of the gods, was in her palace and had no intention of attending the meeting.

Only a few gods, including Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Helios (the sun god), and Hermes (the messenger of the gods), were on the entire Mount Olympus.

Zeus then began his impassioned declaration.

"My brothers and children, we are facing a tremendous test."

But we are born to be victors! We defeated the Titans, established a new order, and we are the true masters of this world.

"We are gods worshipped by mortals, we are the true rulers of this world, and we will not lose to that foolish mortal." Zeus stood up and addressed the gods.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. The current Olympus was far worse than before; many powerful gods had been killed by that bald man.

If you had listened to our advice earlier and taken action against that Spartan sooner, we wouldn't be in such a passive situation today!

"Zeus, what do you think we should do?" Hades asked.

Where is the Zeus of today, who once led his brothers in rebellion against the rule of their father Cronus?

Even Hades felt that he wasn't a human being anymore! The curse of the Titans was certainly part of the reason, but Zeus himself also had many problems.

His younger brother no longer possessed the ambition he once had.

"Gods, now we must set aside our long-standing grudges and join hands to resolve this crisis on Olympus. The Olympian gods will surely prevail!" Zeus said, looking at the gods standing below the platform.

The once mighty Olympian gods are now reduced to a handful of cats and dogs—how tragic!

At the very moment this impassioned declaration was made, a violent tremor swept across Mount Olympus. Even the statue of Zeus himself on the highest peak began to crack and split open, and the entire mountain shook.

Inside the temple at the very top, countless pebbles fell down, even causing the god-king to scramble for a moment.

The gods then hurriedly ran to the edge of the temple and looked down. They saw countless Titans climbing Mount Olympus, with Gaia, the mother of the Titans, at the head.

On her shoulder stood a man wielding a greatsword in blue.

"Zeus, your son has returned!"

"This time, I've also brought the destruction of Olympus!" Kratos roared, igniting this new war of the gods. (End of Chapter)
