367 The Strongest Olympian? Part 4

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

[ Titanomachia ]

Zeus is fighting Chronos, finally returning after years of preparing himself to strike at his Titan Father.

" You- " Chronos tries to hit him, but Zeus dodges it and hits him with his Thunder.

" You pest... " Chronos grunts as he and his fellow Titans are greatly wounded by Zeus' power.

" Who in the higher realms are... you? " Chronos asks Zeus.

" You still didn't get it, do you? " Zeus asks as he attacks him once more, plunging from the skies.

" Don't you dare! " Chronos, amid his panic unleashed something he never thought gonna use before.

[ Divine Authority ]

[ Divine Time Interference: 0,00000001 seconds ]

As Zeus plunges himself, Chronos musters much of his energy to activate the very 'Authority', the Authority over time, an Authority he could use at the cost of his energy, stamina, and focus massively drained.

Not to mention, inactivating his ability, he must pay the cost of not being able to use his other abilities such as Universal Gate Portal Control and Thunder-Based abilities, he must sacrifice it all to perform the 'Authority'.

" My abilities may be lost for a long time. "

" But, despite it all gone, I still have this to kill you! " 

" [DIVINE RULER'S TRUE FIST]!!! "

The powerful punch, came from the Titan feared across the once-empty realms. The shockwave destroys the environment around the interfered time frame, hitting Zeus as the very damage creates a greater shockwave that breaks the 'interference' itself.

" Kuokh! " Zeus falls as he receives it, feeling great pain.

" Gah... " Zeus felt the pain, his mind was in panic as Chronos caught him off guard hard.

"( This pain... )" Zeus tries to stand up as Chronos approaches him with his pain and anger, trying to stomp him with his big feet.

But...

" Kuokh! " All of a sudden, from Chronos' mouth, comes out the gigantic thorn made from blood, not just from that, it all appears from inside his stomach, stabbing him.

"( Wha- )" Chronos thinks as from his very mouth, comes a being covered in Blood, not just one. Behind the first one, comes out four beings also covered in Blood.

" It feels good outside... " said the first one who came out, as he tilted his head around, spraying away the blood from his face.

" Right, father... " it was Poseidon, as the blood slowly came off his body and the others, making Chronos surprised to see his sons and daughter who had been eaten before, come out from him on their own.

"( Impos- )" Chronos shivers, he panics as he doesn't understand what's going on, alongside the other Titans who were still wounded but still able to witness it.

"( No, it can't be... )" Chronos sees it as his 'eye' suddenly shows something to him.

"( No, this isn't what- )"

As it happened, Zeus, who regenerates himself so fast, immediately flew and took those who came out from Chronos' sight, taking them far away and returning to the Titans in a great flash.

" Where- " one of the Titans asks but Zeus interrupts.

" You shall know nothing of what happened. "

" But, what you shall know is... " Zeus prepares his fist, preparing a punching pose as he charges all of his might to it.

" That stance isn't that- " the Titans immediately looked at Chronos, who could only see it and be silent because of his mouth.

"( That's... )"

" You should've not used that thing during my plunge, Father... " Zeus said Chronos.

" Because even when you interfered with time, when you interfered with my movement... "

" It was still not powerful enough to interfere with the flow of my mind and sight. "

" Thanks to that, I am now able to perform what you have been used of me... "

" Prepare... " Zeus successfully charged it and immediately used the very attack on the Titans.

" You should've used the Gates to escape Father... "

" But now you have sealed your fate! " Zeus mocks Chronos for his gamble.

" [DIVINE RULER'S TRUE FIST]!!! " Zeus ends the Titanomachy, as Poseidon sees it from afar with the others, seeing the ending flash of the Reign of Titans.

...

"( Zeus... )"

"( You are strong... )"

"( With your power, you who trained outside Olympus at the time, managed to achieve the strength and power that eclipses that of the Titans. )"

"( Even... Father... )"

"( ... )"

"( At that time, I could only... watch... )"

"( Despite my powers heightened at the time, it took me time to even hurt Chronos, to free our siblings from his stomach, return them to what they were. )"

"( It still not enough... )" 

[ First Holy War, before the Timeline Reboots even Happened ]

" Poseidon... " the Demon King says, the primed ruler of the Abyss.

As he lies on the ground, defeated by the Divine gods, the Demon King sees Poseidon and raises his hand.

" You are powerful... "

" Hold my... hand... " 

" No, Poseidon, no... " said a god with a blurred appearance.

" Don't take his hand, he- "

" He's defeated, what threat he could pose... " Poseidon slammed the words back and took the Demon King's hand, raising him to look at the Deviant Being in the eye.

" I am powerful... "

" Zeus is powerful enough to face you with his fist. "

" But I, Poseidon, was one of the few who landed the killing blow on you. "

" This..., killing blow. " Poseidon smirks over the Demon King.

" Is that... so? " the Demon King chuckles to Poseidon as he stares at him, making Poseidon startled, and giving him visions.

Blood, Trident, Horns.

" Grah! " Poseidon knocks the Demon King with his head, loosening his hand from him as he snaps out of the vision.

" What is that!? " Poseidon asks the near-death Demon King, as he slowly dies in his sight.

...

"( It still confuses me, even now... )"

"( Blood, Trident, Horns. )"

"( Years and years, Timelines over Timelines, I searched for the answer, searched it all. )"

"( But now, I believe I understand. )" 

"( I remember now, right the moment after 'Ragna Kent' hit me with his gigantic hand from a Gate above. )"

"( At that time. )" 

...

[ Atlantis, Poseidon's Throne Room ]

( Hours earlier. )

As Poseidon lay on the ground, his hand, suddenly moves by itself, grabbing his Trident.

At that moment, Poseidon's sight was blurry, but he was still able to see his hand, summons Blood by itself, making it circle the Trident and transforming it into the weapon he never thought was gonna happen in the first place.

* The hand moves the Trident, tilting it, making the edge aimed at Poseidon's chest. *

" No... " Poseidon tries to control his hand at the time, but suddenly he remembers the Demon King.

" No, don't- " Poseidon was powerless as the hand made the Trident stab his chest, giving him great pain.

" No! " Poseidon felt so much pain, he felt something coming out from his head, his body turned, and blood poured from his body.

* Poseidon remembers his moment with the Demon King. *

" RAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH! "
