The Strongest Olympian? Part 2

[ Many Timelines Ago, before the 'Universal Reboot' was even a thing. ]

[ Olympus, at the time. ]

" I remember now. " Poseidon says as he sees around, he remembers the environment he's in. It was Olympus, but not as the 'Castle in the Sky'* it was in the Current Timeline, but was a big gargantuan mountain, made by the Titans to safely keep their Divine Children.

" Ah, this is went our Father, Chronos came to visit us, to make us perform our powers we've been honed inside this place before he- "

" Poseidon! " Hades calls him again and tells him to get closer to the Main Hall.

" No... " Poseidon, remembering the event that happened at the time, began to shiver, knowing what would come next.

" Ah, yes... " Poseidon grips his fist, activating some of his powers.

" I should prepare... " Poseidon gulped as he followed Hades to the Main Hall, the place where their father, Chronos was waiting for the two, alongside his two other compatriots.

" You both came, my sons! " Chronos, their Father, greets them, alongside his wife, his children's mother, Rhea, who just sobs beside him.

" What makes you boys get here so long? " Chronos said as he sat on his throne, with the body he already shifted into a smaller state to sit on his crafted throne.

* Chronos looked at his children, with blue eyes shining like the very gate portals themselves. *

[ Name: Chronos (ChronoAxis) ]

[ Title: Keeper of Space and Time ]

[ Race: Titanus (Titan) ]

[ Pantheon: Olympus ]

" Kids... " said the other Titan, this one whose body is made from the ocean itself.

" It seems Olympus had made you all go soft, look at you both. "

[ Name: Oceanus ]

[ Title: Guardian of the Ocean ]

[ Race: Titanus (Titan) ]

[ Pantheon: Olympus ]

" Of course, what do you expect from these 'kids'... " said the third titan, the one with blazing crimson eyes and fiery skin.

[ Name: Tartarus ]

[ Title: Progenitor of Deviation ]

[ Race: Titanus (Titan) ]

[ Pantheon: Olympus ]

" Hmrmph... " Poseidon grunts with the lowest tone possible, seeing all the Titans there with hatred, hating them with every knowledge he knows as he relives this moment.

"( They already done it, Hera, the others... )" Poseidon looked at the Titans, looking at their gigantic stomach.

"( After this, Hades will show them his fire, showing them the flames of the Divine Soul. )" Poseidon says this, as Hades performs in front of the Titans' fiery capability, summoning his pet Cerberus in front of 'Tartarus', making both of them performing the moves of undying flames, the very moves that appeased Tartarus and Chronos at the same time.

" You've grown strong, Hades... " Chronos praised him while Poseidon behind him could only shake his head.

"( You should've not shown them too much, brother. )" Poseidon says this while seeing Chronos' smirk, not to mention...

* Chronos' right eye began to change, turning into an eye that looked like a clock.*

"( Oh yes, that eye... )" Poseidon sees it, he forgets what his father's 'eye' was called, but he knew it was an ability his father had at the time.

" Your growth is to be expected, as expected from my first-born son. "

" Next, it's time for you, Poseidon... " Chronos said it while Poseidon was startled.

"( Huh! my- )" Poseidon's body started to move outside his accord, he summons his water-based powers, bending them as he crafted them into materials, with his Divine Power, he also unleashed his variation, jumping to the water himself as it teleports him to outside the nearby water, like a Gate Portal tunnel.

" Interesting... " Oceanus, sees this in awe, slurping.

" This one had your talents, Chronos. " Oceanus praised Poseidon, who performed his plethora of talents while within his mind, he silently screamed to his body, panicking.

"( Stupid body of mine, what are you doing!? )"

"( No! I shouldn't show them too much, no! )" his screams were silent, his worry couldn't be expressed, for his body moved without his control, moved according to what happened in the past.

" It is done... " Poseidon said with his mouth, after performing well in front of the Titans, he made Oceanus and Tartarus intrigued about his water abilities.

" You're able to create portals using elemental materials like 'water' as a medium? such genius! " Oceanus smirked when seeing it.

" How do you do that, Poseidon? " Oceanus asks as Poseidon just bluntly tells him.

" It's simple Lord Oceanus... "

" I did it after I absorbed the very 'Quantum Particles' from every time my father created a Gate Portal. " Poseidon tells.

" At first it was some random habit, but time and time, I began to witness its effects on my powers. "

" It enables me to conjure Gate Portals on my own, using my own Divine Power I believed to have been enhanced with the very Particles itself, enabling it to affect my very Water Power Abilities. "

" So, you're telling me... " Chronos suddenly interrupts.

" With the very 'Quantum Particles', those who had it can combine it with one own's power and conjure gates using every medium of elemental particles they can bend with their powers? " Chronos, being the Titan who is responsible for Conjuring and Managing the Flow of Universal Gates is surprised, he never thinks there will be a simpler method to do so.

" Because from what I always do, I had to draw many Quantum Particles and assemble them with great precision for them to open a Gate safely. "

" If Quantum Particles were not assembled correctly, the chance of 'Antimatter Explosion' will harm the very course of the realms itself, disabling the use of Gates for some time, especially to travel across the realms of afar. "

" But now, Poseidon... "

" You're telling me that this 'method' you found could do the feats I mentioned earlier...? " Chronos asks while looking at Oceanus as he thinks of water.

" I... " Poseidon stutters, he thinks for a while.

" I'm not... sure... "

" I... "

" I... haven't allowed myself to experiment to such heights before, I... "

" Enough! " Chronos rises from his seat, making both Poseidon and Hades bow before him.

As he rose, he looked at the other Titans, he smirked as he approached his two boys, while his wife Rhea, could only cry in a low tone, as Chronos approached his hand and grabbed the two kids in his fingers.

" Father... " Hades grunts as he tries to free himself, even Cerberus, who was left below, could only bark and blaze Chronos with its fire, a futile attempt as Chronos kicks the very mutt away with his feet.

"( This is it... )" Poseidon says this in his mind, as he could only witness the play inside, powerless to stop his body from performing outside his will.

" You boys have shown immense talent and power. "

" I am proud of you two, Hades, Poseidon... " Chronos says this while gripping them, his 'eye' begins to glow.

" But... "

" I, as your Father... "

" Felt sorry, if it has come to this... "

" For despite your progress made me proud as a father, but, it also increased the fear within me for you both. "

" Hence why, just like me, some Titans began to act on their children as they began to show the signs like you two. " Chronos said it as both Oceanus and Tartarus smirked.

" The signs of a threat, the threat of rebellion. "

" The threat that this very 'eye' sees. showing an event we would face if we did not kill you all who had shown this kind of rising power. "

" Now, after telling you all this. "

" It is time. " Chronos says this, as he begins to put Hades and Poseidon inside his mouth.

* Gulp. *
