Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 66 The Time Is Not Yet Ripe
Even with the help of the gods, Hera was already being pressured and could only defend, not attack.

She is still too inexperienced to maintain a burst of energy beyond her limits for an extended period.

As for Coeus and Iapetus, although the battle is still fierce, as long as Phoebe wins and receives his support, they will surely achieve final victory.

Atlas and Menotius have had so much time to recover, and with the blessing of their father, they are almost back to normal. Once they rejoin the battle, the situation will be even more unfavorable.

Zeus's deep face grew even colder, yet deep down he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's test has been achieved. Although the battle situation was slightly beyond His expectations, He can now be certain that Cronus's power is limited to this level, and He has no more trump cards to reveal.

Otherwise, given such a huge advantage, the God-King would not have refrained from using his backup plan.

Next, we can take advantage of the situation to retreat and use that to make our enemy arrogant.

Zeus made a decision in a flash.

His face suddenly showed a mixture of shock and anger, and he let out a roar like a trapped beast at Cronus. He recklessly squeezed out divine power and unleashed a devastating blow with all his might!

Immediately, taking advantage of the moment when Cronus was forced back by this desperate attack, disregarding the new wounds on his divine body, he suddenly unleashed an even more vast divine power, enduring the excruciating pain of the God King's scythe tearing through his divine body, and forcibly broke free from the entanglement.

With a flash, he transformed into a blazing white streak that tore through the void, carrying an earth-shattering and fierce momentum as he sped toward the other two Titan battlefields.

A glint flashed in Cronus's eyes, and his majestic Titan face instantly lit up with wild joy as he let out a triumphant laugh that shook the universe: "Traitor, where can you possibly escape to!"

He followed closely behind Zeus, the enormous scythe in his hand that had once made the heavens weep blood, carrying the terrifying power to cleave everything in its path and annihilate all things, easily cutting through all obstacles in its path—matter, space, laws, energy, all existence, all were as thin as paper before the mighty power of the god-king!
On Zeus's indestructible divine body, one after another, deep and terrifying wounds appeared in an instant, and golden divine blood gushed out like a burst dam, staining the void.

However, Zeus paid no heed to the devastating pursuit behind him and his own terrible injuries, and still insisted on charging towards the Titan battlefield.

Seeing Zeus, who appeared to be insane and possessed the power to destroy the world, charging towards them with overwhelming force, the shrewd Titan couple, Coeus and Phoebe, did not hesitate for a moment!

Without any hesitation, they made the decision to retreat instantly.

They instantly abandoned all fighting and retreated without hesitation!

They were not without courage, but faced with a future god-king displaying raging fury, their courage was utterly insignificant; they could not muster even the slightest courage to confront him head-on.

Coeus and Phoebe would never risk their lives for Cronus. Enraged Zeus, they had no courage to resist even the slightest, or even momentary, obstruction.

In fact, neither side ever expected to win the battle in one fell swoop.

Both sides knew perfectly well that this battle was not a fight to the death.

For Zeus, this proactive attack was ostensibly aimed at undermining the power of the King of the Gods, but its real purpose was to test the King of the Gods' strength and weakness.

There's an even deeper purpose that no one could have imagined: fishing.

In this war that will determine the fate of the universe, there can be no neutral parties; all the gods must clearly choose sides and define their positions.

Only in this way, after completely eliminating Cronus, can we prevent him from having any potential opportunity to regain power and completely eliminate future troubles. At this moment, there are too many gods in the universe observing, and their hesitation and wavering are the greatest hidden dangers to the future order.

Therefore, Zeus had to continuously expand the scale of the war, so that all the powerful gods, whether or not they were loyal to Olympus, would be completely involved and their positions would be clearly divided.

Only by completely shattering the old order can a new world be rebuilt!

The Law Gods are too difficult to deal with; even Zeus in his current state cannot easily resolve them.

Furthermore, how could anyone truly kill their father to seize power and completely obliterate their own father god?
In any civilization, this would be an extremely shocking event.

Zeus desired an increasingly prosperous and beautiful universe, not oppression and destruction; he could not set such a bad precedent.

Therefore, the most that can be done is to confine him.

Whether Tartarus's punishment was more brutal or not, at least it was "living".

Whether for the sake of the current battle situation or for the long-term grand plan, we cannot do anything too outrageous now, and we cannot make the God-King and the gods too wary and defensive of us.

Only by making the King of Gods realize that He is nothing special can we have a chance to banish Him to Tartarus, lest He escape at the last moment and then no one will have peace.

Only by luring out all the gods who might be inclined towards the God-King can we then confidently plan for a grander cosmic order.

Victory itself is not difficult; what truly requires painstaking effort is how to win a beautiful and decisive victory.

Eliminate all hidden dangers, subdue the hearts of the gods, and thus better rule over everything, achieving an omnipotent and immortal self.

The God-King can destroy the gods, but destruction is not the goal.

The goal is to gather the power of the gods, strengthen the origin of the universe, make the laws of the universe more prosperous, and ultimately gather the power of all gods to achieve the supreme omnipotent state!
To achieve this, one cannot resort to authoritarianism and high-pressure tactics.

The last one who practiced dictatorship and oppression is now permanently dead.

Furthermore, can the efficiency be the same whether you do things voluntarily or when you are forced to do them?

As for Cronus, he was caught off guard and never expected Zeus to dare to attack him so quickly, especially with so many helpers by his side.

In fact, after seeing Zeus's lineup, He was extremely terrified. He was not afraid of these second-generation Titans, but He was afraid of their father God taking sides.

After winning over Coeus and Phoebus, He originally felt that the advantage was in His hands!
But after seeing the opposing team's lineup, that idea was instantly shattered.

As for Coeus and Fober, they no longer had the idea of ​​switching sides.

The stronger Zeus's power, the less valuable they became, which meant that even if they sided with Zeus, they would only be in greater danger.

However, Coeus and Phoebe, as gods of wisdom, still managed to devise ingenious tactical plans in a short time despite such an unfavorable situation.

They chose to strike first, turning defense into offense!
They successfully launched such a brilliant ambush that they dragged Zeus and his comrades into a passive position!
