5 chapter 4 start of the Great War
[Timeskip 50 years]
After recruiting the Giants, Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires, Damianos used the majority of his power creating a Dimension/realm in a pocket of space revolving this planets dimension.
After creating a land the size of Europe and Asia combined, Damianos was exhausted having spent 80% of his power.
After taking a breather Damianos set out to acquire plantlife and animals for his realm outside of this planet.
With the help of the Nymphs who's infatuated with Damianos and the Satyrs who with a slight bribe of gold, Damianos acquired the necessary plantlife and animals to create a sustainable Bio life in his realm.
Satisfied Damianos only had to wait for the war to happen and wait for the defeat of Ouranos to rescue the Giants, Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires.
Damianos also had started on recruiting the Nymphs and the Naiads on smuggling the trees that bore the golden apples.
apart from flirting and having sex with them, Damianos was able to secure the cooperation of the Nymphs and Naiads in charge of growing and maintaining the health of the trees that produced the golden apples.
With the condition of them coming to his newly created realm, Damianos was only too happy to oblige thinking ' such a small price to pay for an unlimited supply of Divine food '
Today Damianos was reconstructing his Divine and Magical siphoning spell to something much faster, when Kreios and Hyperion came to him.
apparently they wanted Damianos help in the construction of the gates that'll lead to the realm of Tartarus.
Damianos acting suspicious asked them " why? such task was difficult, why don't you just use the gates in the throne room?"
Kreios and Hyperion was unable to answer, then after asking for a minute to talk to themselves, they revealed their plan on rescuing their siblings that got sent to Tartarus.
"You do know, this is treason, once Ouranos found out, all of you including me will be punished and I do hope to not find out what it is" Damianos reasoned to them.
"That's why, we came to you instead of Hecate, She's a zealous supporter of Ouranos, She'll reveal everything to Ouranos, you on the other hand is the Deity of contracts, with the right price you could help and with your prowess in magic you could easily help us" Kreios explained which had Damianos thinking ' maybe I won't have to wait for the deaths of the 12 original Titans, hmmm '
"What about you, Kreios, you used to be the Titan in charge of magic, why can't you just be the one to do it? you don't have to include me" Damianos asked Kreios which had the Titan explain "Once I had given the right of governing magic to the both of you, I no longer had authority in those regards without Hecate finding out, with you we could do it secretly since you are also a minor Deity of magic, Hecate won't have power with what you do"
"I see, the price is hefty, would all of you agree to pay?" Damianos asked as he stared the 2 Titans in the eye.
"All of us?" Hyperion asked confused.
"It's my condition, all of you had to pay for my cooperation" Damianos says which had Hyperion winced.
"Alright, before we agree, can we see the contract?" Kreios smartly negotiated to Damianos.
Damianos using his magic whipped out a contract stating.
1. All those who signed to this contract shall pay with Half of their power once the contract has been fulfilled.
2. Damianos had free and unrestricted passage to such gates that shall be created.
Again Damianos put a hidden clause stating
1. Damianos shall acquire all of their powers upon their demise.
2. Damianos can bypass their authority in their respective powers and shall have the authority to use their powers without the knowledge of the owners.
Damianos gave the finished contract to Kreios and Hyperion to read.
upon reading the contract Hyperion immediately exclaimed "Preposterous!! these conditions are horrible"
"Damianos, can't we maybe talk about the first condition? it's too high even for us Titans" Kreios calmly says but it is evident that he's grimacing at the cost of such cooperation.
"I'll be the first to brunt the rage of Ouranos once he found out due to my proximity to him, it's only proper I get paid handsomely" Damianos saying it as if it's normal.
Grimacing the 2 Titans went away on the excuse of talking it over to all of those who would participate on the rescue.
After a week Hyperion and Kreios came back, this time they came with Gaia and the whole ensemble of Titans with the only exception are the Oceanids and Potamoi.
Negotiating with Damianos prove futile as they can't win against him, Gaia having enough with the farce of a negotiation signed the contract with her divine power.
Damianos staring at Gaia while she does this can't help but notice that her power decreased, instead of a powerful primordial power Damianos could only sense a power on the level of a Titan.
"hmmm, weird it shouldn't be this weak" Damianos muttered as he stared at Gaia.
At the sight of their mother and grandmother signing the contract, the Titans stopped arguing and quietly signed the contract albeit begrudgingly.
As the contract was signed Damianos used his authority to make the contract take effect.

[Timeskip 100 years]
After the contract was signed, Damianos seriously studied and researched of a way to connect this realm towards the Realm of Tartarus.
casually taking reference to the gate in the Throne room while he's attending Ouranos, Damianos was able to piece by piece build the portal leading towards the realm of Tartarus.
Damianos while doing this was also helped by Kreios although he can only do it the non magical way to avoid detection by Hecate.
With Kreios help Damianos also created a new spell from his Divine and magical siphoning spell.
This new spell was named devouring spell since it's effects are to have the user Devour the Divine, magical and spirit of the target therefore acquiring all of their powers and authority.
Kreios was a little suspicious of why Damianos was creating this spell, but with the reasoning of "It's for the breakers of the contracts" had Kreios felt fear towards Damianos and had him swearing to uphold the contract signed.
After a 100 Grueling years of piecing the most complicated teleportation gate, Damianos had finished reconstructing one.
Calling the Titans and Gaia, Damianos set the diagrams and runes needed for the gate.
As they arrive Damianos explained how the gate works saying "After activating the gate, some of you need to constantly control and power it, so the gate will stay in the same place it spawned in the realm of Tartarus"
The Titans and Gaia understanding this asked Damianos about the blueprint, giving them the blueprint of the gate Damianos says "With this the contract has been full filled"
With the contract full filled, power from all of the Titans present including Gaia began leaking out then bursting, the power's upon coming out of the Titans possession immediately flew towards Damianos.
Feeling the power's entering him, Damianos was in euphoria as the power he spent creating and maintaining his newly created realm was instantly recovered and not only that it kept rising until he's at the power of a Primordial similar to Nyx and Erebos.
Vastly eclipsing all of the Titans and even Gaia, even though Damianos current power was not on the level of Ouranos, and Tartarus, he's now vastly superior towards the Titans.
As they left Damianos used his partial omniscience to monitor them, to prepare himself for the eventual clash of the Titans and primordials.

[Timeskip 10 years]
After handing out the blue prints for the Gate, Gaia and the Titans spent no time in constructing them all over the Kingdom.
Damianos had also found out the reason for Gaia's weakening, After spying on them with his partial omniscience he saw the weapon that will slice Ouranos to pieces.
Seeing the scythe imbued with the power of the Primordial of the Earth, Damianos is tingling with anticipation of when he's gonna steal such powerful weapon.
for 10 years since he handed the blue print of the gate, they are now executing the prison break of Tartarus.
With Cronos on the lead they entered the Gates powered by Hyperion and carefully controlled by Kreios.
Funnily enough they named it the Hyperion gate, due to Hyperion shouldering the power required for the continuous use of the gate.
Using his Fidelius charm on himself then casting some invisibility spells and protection spell's, Damianos followed the Titans in Tartarus.

[Realm of Tartarus]
After stealthily entering the Hyperion gate Damianos saw the inhospitable and smouldering realm of Tartarus.
"Wow, no wonder this place was the prison of the Titans in Greek myths, even immortal beings will find it hard to live here" Damianos muttered as he saw the environment of Tartarus, meanwhile the gigantic form of Cronos trying to be stealthy by hiding his Divine and magical powers.
Following Cronos lead the other Titans concealed their presence then continued to trod and find their imprisoned brothers and uncles.
As Damianos followed the Titans, he could see the denizens of Tartarus try to attack them, only to find themselves eaten by the Gigantic beings that is the Titans.
as they found the 3 Cyclopes and the 3 Hecatoncheires chained in a sturdy slab of bedrock, the Titans wasting no time immediately broke the chains holding them.
upon their release, a loud thunder then an earthquake so strong that it even toppled the Titans, Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires occurred.
after the earthquake stopped, Damianos could see the wrathful and towering Tartarus in the far distance as well as his minions rushing towards the Titans and the escapee's.
levitating himself Damianos wanted to see, how the Titans and the Primordial will fight as he saw Tartarus in his full height of 6400 feet thundering towards the Titans who had the average height of 1500 to 1700 feet.
The first one to move was Tartarus and his minions, with Tartarus throwing gigantic slabs of rocks as well as Lava upon the Titans while his minions swarmed them like ants.
As for the Titans, they could only dodge and throw back some divine infused bolts of magic back at Tartarus while they crush and sweep the denizens of Tartarus who's swarming them.
As Damianos watched them from the air he wished that he could've brought some grapes and some fruits to snack on while he watched them do battle with each other.
After watching them for 72 hours slinging boulders the size of hills and magic spells at each other, Damianos was getting pretty bored while he could describe the fight as looking the same as the scene in wrath of the Titans with Tartarus being the huge molten Giant while the Titans are Zeus and Hades battling him.
As they finally neared the Hyperion gate, Cronos decided to use their trump card which is the scythe given to him by Gaia.
Wielding the scythe, Damianos could see Cronos charge at Tartarus wielding it then as he neared the Primordial, Cronos slashed at the incoming hand of Tartarus who was trying to intercept him.
cleaving the hand of Tartarus, Cronos didn't stop his momentum as Tartarus stumbled due to pain and shocked of being cut by the Scythe, As he swung the Scythe down at Tartarus belly Cronos wounded Tartarus so much that he couldn't move from the pain.
Seeing that Tartarus won't be a problem no more, Cronos ran back to his fellow Titans and the prisoners and escaped through the Hyperion gate.

POV Tartarus
Moaning and in pain Tartarus laid there as he tried to heal himself, but to his surprise the wound wasn't healing.
Trying to stop himself from bleeding Tartarus held his belly with his remaining arm vowing with rage "the next time, you come to my realm, the realm of Tartarus shall torture all of you!!"
With that rage and power the realm of Tartarus became much more inhospitable and harsh designed to inflict damage and torture to beings with the same level of power as the Titans.
"You seem to be in trouble, too bad no one's gonna help you" a voice sounded out with pity laced on those words.
"Who are you?!!" Tartarus thundering voice full of rage echoed.
"I'm just an average nobody, now can you not struggle, I'll make it painless and quick" the voice replied as Golden chains wrapped itself around Tartarus.
struggling Tartarus tried to get out with all of his power only to find that the chains are getting stronger, now laying on his back he asked "Why are you doing this?"
"You see, I'm just watching you and the Titans fight, but when I saw you get wounded and weak I couldn't pass up the chance of eating you" The voice finally appeared and as Tartarus took a good look at his jailer and soon to be murderer, he saw the face of the one he blessed Millenia's ago, the one named Damianos.
Face full with fear Tartarus stuttered "Ee eat me?"
"Oh not the literal one, it'll take me millions of years to eat your physical body, I meant the spiritual, divine and magical one" says Damianos as he neared Tartarus who was struggling in fear.
"Don't worry, it'll be quick" says Damianos as he put a hand at Tartarus body, who screamed in pain and fear.

POV Damianos
As i finished eating the spirit and power of Tartarus, I felt my power rising and rising dwarfing the power of Ouranos.
As i stared at the gigantic corpse of Tartarus, I decided to store it in my spatial storage as i see some use for it, mainly for weapon and armor making.
As the realm of Tartarus remained masterless Damianos could see that it was falling apart.
Thinking that having one more realm wouldn't be bad, Damianos projected his power and claimed ownership over the realm.
As it happened Damianos could feel all of the denizens of Tartarus bowing and prostrating before their new ruler, as well as sensing and knowing everything that happens in this realm, Damianos also estimated the size of the realm of Tartarus as Asia, Europe, Africa, and south America combined.
Exercising his newly found powers and authority, Damianos summoned all of the strongest beings that reside in these realm.
As they arrive Damianos saw that they are only 7 of them, Damianos couldn't help but asked "Why are there only seven of you?"
The one on the right most side who looked like an angel but with burnt wings answered " We intimidated all of those unworthy of being in your presence master "
"I see, alright I tasked the seven of you to rule in my stead" Damianos ordered as he went first to the one who answered the one who looked like a burnt angel.
"I name you Lucifer Morningstar the one who shined so bright that they burned themselves, I give you the title the pride of Tartarus" Damianos named him as one of his foremost stewards to govern the realm of Tartarus.
As he went to the next one, Damianos walked in front of an obese being with wings of an insect "I name you Beelzebub the one who's appetite was never sated, I give you the title of Tartarus Gluttony"
as he went to the next one, Damianos came in front of a horned muscular monster with an expression of anger plasted on his face "I name you Satan the ever angry monster, I give you the Title of the wrath of Tartarus"
As he went to the next one, Damianos had to look up and see the enormous writhing serpent like creature " I name you Leviathan, the plunderer and the master of the oceans of Tartarus, I give you the Title of Tartarus Envy"
As he went to the next one, Damianos came in front of a centaur like creature but instead of a horse it got wolf's hindquarters, it was also adorned with jewelry's " I name you Mammon the richest and greedy of all of Tartarus, I give you the Title the Greed of Tartarus"
As he went for the next one, Damianos came in front of a fat and hairy creature yawning and trying to stay awake " I name you Belphegor the laziest of all in Tartarus, I give you the Title of Sloth of Tartarus"
As he went for the next one, Damianos came in front of a sexually ambiguous creature who's dressed seductively " I name you Asmodeus the lecherous of all in Tartarus, I give you the Title of The Lust of Tartarus"
As he finished naming them all, Damianos declared "You all shall be my stewards in this realm, rule magnificent and wisely in my stead"
Following up with "Do your namesake and it's meaning honor, do not disappoint" as Damianos finished the 7 bowed deeply as they pledge to their everlasting loyalty.
Damianos seeing this couldn't help but chuckle and thought ' I only named them after the 7 deadly sins, since they looked like it but I guess I've got less work now '
Unbeknownst to Damianos he just created the literal 7 deadly sins
.

[Earth]
After bestowing powers and assigning the 7 deadly sins to their own respective territories, Damianos returned back to earth via teleportation.
Upon returning Damianos found the surrounding destroyed, Teleporting back to the Palace of the Primordials Damianos was surprised by the flurry of activity going on.
As he stopped by the Throne room, He could see the raging Ouranos clad in Adamantine armor imbued with the power of the sky's surrounded by Hecatoncheires.
Seeing him Ouranos thundering voice filled with rage informed Damianos "Those disobedient children of mine!! Dare to rebel against me!! glad you're here Damianos for I will need your assistance in punishing the Titans"
"Hmmm, I see" Replied Damianos as he took a look at Gaia who's sitting distressed at her throne.
"Come! let's catch my disobedient children" Ouranos with his thundering steps walked briskly out of the Throne room followed by a contingent of armed and fully armored Hecatoncheires.
"Could you fill me up of what happened?" Damianos asked Gaia who snapped out of her distressed appearance.
As Gaia informed him of what happened, apparently the Titans seeing Cronos defeat Tartarus rallied behind him wanting Cronos to be the New ruler.
Coupled with a few Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires supporters they declared rebellion against Ouranos and now an all out war between Ouranos and the Titans are happening.
"I see, I'll try my best to seek peace between them" Damianos says as he faked sympathy towards Gaia.
"Please do, Damianos you're my only hope, Ouranos wasn't listening to me no longer, please don't let my children and husband kill each other" Gaia pleaded as Damianos turned his back to follow Ouranos.
"I'll try my best Gaia" Damianos replied while he suppressed his happiness in anticipation of Ouranos defeat.
