Chapter 25 - Greek Pantheon 3

Kronos was angry at his subordinates, no, he was absolutely furious at them. They had won the battle a few months ago and yet the mood was different from what you'd expect it to be.

For Kronos himself dampened the mood of the castle. He has reasons for it, they had won the war, and yet his sons- his children - all escaped and are still alive.

The prophecy his father told him forever haunts him in his dreams. More so than ever since Zeus' escape with his siblings.

And one day out of the blue one of his subjects came to the throne room.

"Milord someone wants to meet with you."

His face contorted in displeasure. He was already in a bad mood and someone dares to meet him in this situation.

"Bring them here," he said with his voice filled with irritation that the subject was left scared.

Three people came to the throne room with the subject of Kronos leading the way.

The throne room was filled with guards from the minor gods, as well as Atlas, Iapetus, and Helios. They all look at the trio that went inside the room.

A woman with long blue hair.

A man? With short silvery-blue hair.

A woman with yellow short hair.

The man step forward of the trio and opened his mouth.

"Greetings to you King of Titans Kronos, I am called Argent. We have come from a far away land to talk to you about something."

"What crude manners." spat Kronos. "What does a mere whelp think he can dare talk to me like this?"

The two with Argent had faces of anger. They hold of from just straight up killing Kronos because of Argent's orders.

"We bring you news about the state of your world. And if you agree to us, we can help you with your problem children." Argent stated.

Kronos' anger increases even more.

A mere insect thinks he can manipulate me into doing his bidding?

"Just state what is it you want to say." Kronos let them talk first before passing his Judgement of the trio.

"We came from a different world from here. We wish to have the cooperation of every world with sentient beings. That is why, if you're willing to work under-"

"Hahh! Working under you? Out of all the absurdities I have heard, that is by far the worst! Men kill that insect!" Kronos stood up from his seat and pointed at Argent.

Atlas, Iapetus, and Helios all went and rushed to Argent with blades drawn.

"You have the gall to even say something preposterous such as being from another world? Do your mockery of me know no end!?"

Argent sighed, he looked at his two companions.

"Don't injure them too much, just knock them out." the two nodded their head.

Not even 3 seconds went and all three of the titans and all the guards in the room are all knocked on the ground unconscious.

"You!!!" Kronos was left so shock he took out his Adamantite scythe and rushed to Argent. "Once I'm done with you I'll deal with those harlots myself! I'll butter them up nicely for your dying self to see."

A scythe made by Gaia that is made of Adamantite giving it status as a legendary class weapon. However unlike the normal Adamantite, this one doesn't have its own will but just a mere weapon. Argent materializes a sword of his own, not his mythical Rakshasa, but a downgrade made of material creation.

It's status is legendary grade similar to the Adamantite scythe, the name of this sword given by Argent is Grey.

Kronos' figure started to blur out and then he disappeared. He suddenly appeared out of thin air in all three sides of Argent. To his right, left and back.

The one behind him tried to manipulate Argent's time by speeding up his aging process. Although, as a spiritual being their age doesn't really matter to them, nor can they get old.

The two on his sides used their scythes to simultaneously cut both Argent's head and torso.

With his sword in his right hand, he block the one aiming for his head by swinging clockwise to his back, hitting the one behind him as he turns using his momentum.

The one on the right stumbles down, while the one behind had a sword wound on his chest and disappeared.

Meanwhile the last one.

"You didn't really need to help me." Argent spoke as he look at the one behind the last Kronos who was stabbed to the heart with a sword.

Kronos was dangling as his body was lifted up by the thrust from behind.

"I know Argent-sama." Lait replied back as she threw Kronos to the ground by swing her sword to the side.  He then disappeared as well.

The last Kronos, the one that stumbled down started spouting incoherent swears at the trio.

He was being force to remain in place by Velgrynd's aura.

Argent went to him kicked his scythe and lowered himself to meet him eye to eye. Argent placed his sword to Kronos' neck.

"Don't ever threaten nor insult them ever again. UNDERSTAND? Argent said with a death glare to Kronos. His aura was leaking to the entire mountain of Othrys.

Kronos passes out due to magicule poisoning.

Kronos then awaken and he finds himself sitting on his throne. He looked around and the guards and the titans were all their like nothing happened.

Was I dreaming just then? Must be because I've been over thinking too much lately....

Kronos draw out the conclusion that everything that happened was just a dream. But it was not, like what Argent said before they couldn't and shouldn't affect the outcome of the battle.

Having another threat for Kronos would divide his forces and might change the outcome of the war.

Kronos doesn't know but all those inside the throne room had one thing in mind.

I can't believe I was daydreaming while on duty. No one must know this.

Fortunately for them, this saved them from realizing that it wasn't just a dream but reality.

As the throne room was filled with confusion. Argent's group was walking down the mountain.

"Never thought I'll ever see you get angry like that." stated Velgrynd as they walked.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." shrugged Argent.

"You were really cool Argent-sama!" added Lait as they walk.

"Yeah Argent getting angry like that was so cool of you.    ....and when you had that threatening look on your face." Velgrynd agreed and whispered the rest in her mind.

"Alright that's enough out of you two! Say... Are you trying to lighten up my mood?" Asked Argent, he has been in a bad mood since they left the castle.

Not only did his companions get insulted and threatened in front of his face, he had to let the person in question go. He would have just like to fuck the outcome of the war and kidnap Kronos to torture him for eternity.

"Well yes? We were trying to cheer you up. But what we said were also true."

"That's right! We were happy that you got angry for us."

"Thanks? I guess..."

The trio finally got to the foot of the mountain. There they saw someone waiting for them, it was a woman, a Titaness, it was Metis.

"G-greetings to you three." she stuttered. "if possible I would like to talk with you three."

The trio looked at each other and agreed, they didn't really have anything else to do.

They change location far from the mountain of Kronos.

"So what do you need from us?"

"I have seen you three in my oracles, however unlike my normal oracles, fate changes depending on your actions." Metis said looking at the three.

"Hoh~ can you give an example?" asked Argent curiously.

"If you had left Kronos' memories in tact, he would bring his entire army to search for you." she said with a serene expression.

"That's too obvious, another one."

"Eh? Ah, uhm.. If you three don't interfere on everything, both on the titans and the Olympians, the Olympians will win in the end." she said in panic.

"Care to explain how?" asked Velgrynd.

"Yes, Zeus will one day ask for advise from Gaia and will free his uncles. The Hecatonchires and Cyclops, that will help them win the war." Metis said.

"I guess that developments fine? Why are you telling us this?" Asked Lait.

"Because this time the fate of the battle is not absolute, if you act on something the future may/will change. Please don't do anything that may cause the Olympians to lose." Metis bowed her head towards the trio.

"Isn't it suppose to be the titans that you're to be cheering on?"

"The outcome if you three don't interfere is that they would win. Besides, Kronos is a tyrannical ruler that only those that benefit side with him willingly."

"And you're betting his children aren't the same?"

"That's right, I haven't had an oracle into that far into the future. But I'd like to take my chances on the child that Gaia herself took care of."

"Well sure, we won't interfere enough to cause the outcome to change. But we will try meeting with them, you don't have to be afraid for them." Reassured Argent. "I already hate Kronos, so I'm leaning on the Olympians as well."

"Thank you very much!"

"What happened to neutrality and not caring who wins?" there was a small whisper comment coming from one of Argent's companions that was beautifully ignored.

They then went their separate ways, Metis returned to the castle, and Argent and co. Went to mount Olympus.

"Say did you guys notice?" asked Argent as metis was no longer with them.

"Notice what Argent-sama? "

"Her soul? Am I right Argent?" answered Velgrynd.

"Yes that one, you don't notice it Lait but, she has a similar soul to you. You probably don't know, but you look like one of the people that hold fragments of souls." Argent explained.

"You are a fragment holder for something that is infused in your soul. It doesn't seem to be a soul, but something similar. Metis is also a holder like you are."

"I am?" Lait brought her hand to her chest and started analyzing herself to ascertain the facts, once she's confirmed it, she look towards Argent.

"What should we do Argent-sama? Should we kill her and collect the fragment?"

"I don't think it's necessary, like you have less than 6% of fragment. Your not the main body so it wouldn't matter if you do collect them. But if you're interested you could kill her after the war, are you interested?"

"I am not really interested in any particular way to kill her, I do have an interest in studying the two of us though." Lait replied.

"Well then you could just make friends with her then."

As they walked the land before them turned into a face.

"Are you finally going to meet my grandchildren?" asked Gaia to Argent.

"Yes, I've seen what your child can do. Now let's see what your grandchildren can do." Argent continued to march.

"Please be patient with them." Gaia left with those words.

The Olympians were currently strategizing for their next frontal war with the titans. In one of the rooms, the three brothers were looking at a map and talking with their deputies and comrades.

A nymph then knocked on the door, they gave her permission to enter. Once the spirit arrived she started to speak.

"Someone wishes to meet all of you!"

"Hah? Who is it?!" angrily shouted Poseidon.

"We're currently busy at the moment." added Hades with a calm voice.

"Well yes, but these people forcibly went inside the castle and incapacitated the Gigantes!"

All of them were shocked with the news and rushed to where the intruders were.

They all arrived at the main hall of the Castle and so the trio standing there with the guards lying around them.

"We wish to spea-"

Poseidon rushes forward with his spear, joining him were Kratos and Bia.

Velgrynd restrained Poseidon down, while Lait knockout kratos and Bia.

" *sigh* Look we're sorry for barging in and attacking your guards. That was a stupid first impression so here." Argent healed the guards as well as Kratos and Bia, they then all woke up.

"While you did heal them, you still started with violence. We'll have to remain cautious if that's okay with you." Hades replied after looking at the safety of his brother and comrades.

"Indeed, we can talk in a different room, but you must excuse as and we will have to make sure you don't do anything dangerous." Zeus added.

All of them then went to a conference like room. With a long table with chairs on both side. The people present are Argent, Velgrynd, and Lait on one side. And Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus on the other.

The other gods are standing behind them ready to assist if a fight ever occur.

"Well then first of again, I am called Argent, this here are my companions Velgrynd and Lait." Argent pointed at the two beside him. "we come here to offer our cooperation with your fight against the Titans."

The Olympians were wide eyed shocked by what Argent said. These trio one of which easily held Poseidon and the other easily beating Kratos and Bia were willing to work with them.

"Heh that's hard to believe!" said Poseidon.

"I'll have to agree with him there." added Zeus.

"Can we ask why? And what's in it for you?" Hades asked looking at Argent.

Argent smiled. Finally someone who is level-headed "will start with what's in it for us, we are from a different universe from you. We don't belong in this world. We have been task with overseeing all universes that the Creator Veldanava created. We just want you to work for us once you won the war."

"Creator!? Nonsense Chaos created grandmother and all our grandparents. In the same way their children - our parents, aunts and uncles - made us and everything here." Poseidon bursted.

"Then go ask your grandmother, go ask Gaia right here right now." Argent replied.

"You!" Poseidon was stop by hades and Zeus. They asked him to go outside and ask their grandmother if it was true.

"So you say, but you just kicked him out cause he was causing a scene right?" said Velgrynd to the two brothers left in the room.

The two brothers looked at each other and had complicated smiles on their faces.

"Assuming what you said is true, we don't want another tyrant king. So we'll have to decline this offer of yours if this creator is one such tyrant." Zeus said.

"Well that's a good point, don't worry I phrase it as 'work for us' but it's more like 'live your lives as you like, but if something weird is happening or the world is in danger, report it to us' besides Veldanava actually is the opposite of the tyrant in your image." Argent explained.

"Though his a tyrant for throwing his jobs to others." Velgrynd said with a dry smile.

"Hey now." Lait replied with a wry smile of her own.

"So your saying is that, you'll let us rule this universe?" Hades asked for confirmation.

"Yes, we have a home of our own. We don't desire to conquer lands, we are just doing the works appointed to us. And that is to oversee all the universes of Veldanava." Lait was the one who replied this time.

"Once Poseidon is back and has Confirmed your claim we will have a meeting of us only Olympians in what to do, if that's okay with you three?" Zeus explained. The trio all nodded their heads.

Poseidon went inside the room with a shock expression. The two looked at him and cam deduce that the claim was true.

Poseidon asked their grandmother about the trio and not only did she say that it was all true. She also said that they should be respectful to them as they are stronger than them.

"Is that okay? Technically she gave them advice." asked Lait to Argent.

"Well... The whole point was to see their true nature without any knowledge about us so I guess its fine. We already accomplished our goal anyway."

After that the Olympians had a private meeting that included their sisters who were on the sea to come and participate.

After a long week of debate and discussion, they concluded that there is no harm in agreeing to the work for them, if they wouldn't interfere unless called upon.

A/N: well here's the new chapter everyone. The whole arc will be done next chapter. The ending will be a bit rushed though.

Heads up the final battle won't be shown but just mentioned because I'm mentally tired to add more.
