The Aesirs , Olympians and the siblings walked to the world's edge facing the otherworlders " I see that you agreed to my offer ? " Delusion said and everyone had some anger or hatred towards the otherworlder .
" Already so hostile when we just met face to face " they said " Makes sense considering you had imprisoned the souls of many gods " Zhack said " Ehh still nothing compared to what your guys did I heard that one over there had killed a primordial god in their own game isn't that much an achievement itself ? "
Everyone couldn't help but remember what Harkness had done " You know everything was going to be so much easier with these " an illusion revealed Cronus and Rhea with a giant star growing at the center " Honestly I was worried that Rhea wasn't able to grant Cronus children but a Titan's body is much different than a mortal's "
The children of Cronus were angered to see their mother being treated that way . Ikuta looks at the star thinking that this must be the wish the otherworlder planned to use " Why are you planning to awaken Cronus ? " " Well for him to help us , he conquers the world again and he sends some of us threats to his rule away "
" So you think you can overpower Cronus ? " Zeus asked " Of course I can I am the first also that seal you placed on his eyes I modified it so now I can modify the powers Cronus can access " Chara was unsurprised to learn of that ' what specific powers really ? '
" So that Army you were building will have to fight " Zhack sensed Chara's signal and quickly opened a giant portal . Rhea was pulled away along with the wishes that entered her womb to grow further and Cronus woke up .
" Whatever happened to negotiations ? " Redun asked and Delusion seized Odin freeing him from the book and gleipnir " I'm impressed you managed to bring them here "
" with a plan " Chara blasted Odin with a light blast " An elf I heard a lot about the saintess are you supposed to be the daughter of that being "
Ikuta appeared and attacked Delusion " Ah right I do have your father with me " Ikuta looked at a strange symbol of a single horizontal slash being covered by a diagonal one ' That's dad ' Ikuta chased after Delusion who kept using his father as a shield .
' This is a hard time for him ' Chara thought meanwhile Delusion appeared ' A clone ? ' " Right we were supposed to have a negotiation but the two of us can do that after there is no reason to speak with an insane person like Zeus or a primordial being who barely interferes and that brother of yours "
' So they know about our relationship ' " What do you plan on doing ? " Chara asked " To stay but some of my fellows wanted to return and from what I got from Hera she said she found many bright futures in our nation wondering if she could take advantage of it which she tried unfortunately she failed to see which of us have a bright future so she ended up bringing some unwanted luggage "
' I'm pretty sure I heard that from Hera ' " She used foresight did she not ? " " Yes too bad she doesn't know how to use it properly she used it once and she already decided to grab whatever she could " Delusion said while they watched the fight going on .
" But your family is amazing too , all of you have done something that makes you better than the gods perhaps you had a strong foundation that you built ? " Chara and Delusion sense a wide-range attack and cover themselves from it .
" It sure is chaotic out there it's nice to know that there is someone I can talk to instead of fighting " Delusion said . Cronus looked at Aichel and Redun granting the blessing of change to the soldiers " If I get you then all of these will be destroyed " " Redun take care of this " Aichel left the burden of countering Cronus's time stopped to Redun and said.
" In minutes there are seconds , in hours there are minutes , in a day there are hours " a gun manifests in Aichel's hand and he points it at his head . Upon being shot he disappears Cronus blinked and saw Aichel punch him down from the sky .
He landed on the ground wondering how someone without Titan blood was so strong " How did you obtain this strength " " Just like you , study and apply except I did it faster " Aichel pointed a gun at Cronus and he quickly formed a third eye the eye of the present on his forehead summoning his scythe to him .
Atsuki was surprised by the disappearance of her weapon " What ? " " Here " Stork sent a weapon to her and she swung it against her enemies cutting them up " Wow " the cut opens revealing Zhack fighting against more Titans .
" Take this " He swung a flaming axe and threw an Ice lance . His weapons kept teleporting back to his hands for him to throw and use . A Titan grabbed a Hammer and Zhack quickly sent it back to his hands " This is supposed to be mine "
Zhack swung the hammer hard on the ground causing cracks and making the Titans fall into a pit made of asteroids and bending the space of the mirror dimension to close the space of the Titans.
Chara and Delusion watched a crack from ' Ikuta's gonna feel some pain but he will ignore it ' " So I plan to have those otherworlders who want to leave , leave . And by having them help me I can finish my plans faster but back in our world we had no certainty our world is the same which is why they suggested Cronus's help which aligns with the group who wants to stay "
" So you plan to have Cronus to send them back like they never left ? " Delusion nodded " I have no attachment to that world from the beginning I just saw it as a stop in my journey I even wished to leave my country at one point but I came to another world "
Delusion said with joy and Chara understood his character even more " Then why did you take mother ? " " Well just in the way of our plan , we can't exactly tell their character or stance in anything really but we know they are associated with you but even your intentions are different maybe it's because of how you grew apart ? "
' Even I don't think mother would actively go against the otherworlders she just prefers that they don't exist or ignore them ' " So you will give us mother back ? "
" Of course not even though I seem to have planned everything I had more different plans from the very beginning , although I am flexible with my plans I plan to keep a few things the same "
" So you want me to offer you something that will help you just as much as keeping the mother in check ? " " Hmm that is a desirable thing to get , I would want that , I already got Odin to my side to help my plans go further "
' There are other things I should also be worrying about , like how they managed to kill mother ' " Then you'll have to excuse me " Chara moved reality pushing Delusion back to their body with a message ' so she refuses huh ? '
Ikuta slashed against Delusion attempting to take back his father " Give me dad back " " Woah kid relax " Delusion's lax attitude didn't bother Ikuta a bit but raised Ikuta's guard knowing they were planning something .
Delusion dodges Ikuta's attacks sometimes using the unactivated existence of his father as a shield causing Ikuta to stop . They stopped doing this after Ikuta redirects his blade to cut his shoulders allowing him to grab the unactivated existence .
" Oh no you don't void " Delusion snaps their fingers returning their severed hand ' That's Cronus's power " Harry told Ikuta ' Kid's impressive ' Ikuta summons his void weapons which Delusion described as the peak of skill '
' Normally you first master a sword to be able to cut with intent but he went the harder way giving form to something that is supposed to be nothing . It is in itself impressive moreover he could just smash me very easily is there a limit to the forms he makes or is this his discipline of battling ? '
Delusion sensed many weapons forming in Ikuta's path ' Does he have the foresight or is this instinct ? ' they didn't prepare any attack and sensed that the weapons disappeared and on their places were platforms .
Ikuta jumped through these platforms and they quickly readied an attack and sensed in a distance a weapon forming . Their attack flew and Ikuta grabbed the formed void weapon and parried the attack ' Woah ' Delusion was surprised by Ikuta's battle sense and habitually prepared attacks sensing more weapons manifesting for Ikuta to seize .
Ikuta gets close to them forcing them to use Cronus's power and appear somewhere else ' I used quite a lot ' Ikuta appeared before them and they ducked from the attack but Ikuta redirected his swing downwards causing Delusion to use their time again .
' It's fine I still have plenty and if it's not enough I have a few more inside ' inside his inventory a clock dissolved to dust .
Aichel pointed to more guns firing bullet after bullet before they were dissolved again and again ' Those this mortal have an immortal life ? ' " You must be surprised honestly I like that reaction , seeing gods knowing they are being surpassed "
He appears by Cronus kicking him in the stomach and shooting himself . Cronus swings his scythe after predicting Aichel's appearance and slices Aichel's flesh only to watch that as he slices through the flesh it regenerates as soon as the blade leaves a space between the cells .
Aichel points a gun at Cronus's eye of the present , firing a rewind bullet causing Cronus's scythe to return to the spot he took it from " Urgh " Aichel forms the eye of the present seizing the scythe too swinging it against Cronus who imitated his skill of forming weapons by consuming time and used it on himself causing him to enter a world with time frozen .
He was blind to anything and saw a scythe cut on his right eye moving to the left . Aichel swings it watching Cronus dodge and sighed ' Close combat isn't my thing , Maybe I should try one that artificial intelligence '
Cronus points his finger towards Aichel while Aichel points a gun ' It's forward ' ' It's backward ' They fired a single shot towards each other canceling them out .
Odin and Harkness fought against each other with Odin and Harkness uttering in runic language commands for the world and darkness . Melded together with darkness while Odin locates her soul trying to bind her with chants he received from Urdarbrunnr .
' these chants are amazing if only I could receive them ' Odin tried several chants to bind Harkness as runes of light chased after her ' But these runes are pretty ridiculous ' Enchanted fires pushed away the darkness to form a silhouette of Harkness's body which was made of the divinity of Erebus .
Odin directed his chants towards the silhouette binding his target " You will obey me and harm no one affiliated to me " " Sorry but you got the wrong one " Odin was surprised and tried to utter a word until Harkness used an experimental rune verse related to the void .
" Bring Silence " Odin couldn't perform a chant with his mouth while Harkness started to push the dark mana into Odin's soul ' There is a lot of madness in here I thought Delusion healed him '
Harkness avoids the madness but quickly pulls back upon sensing the primordial darkness divinity has been infected ' Oh no ' Harkness quickly removed the divinity from her body and watched Odin's eyes being covered like ink was spilled all over it .
Odin's mouth gapes open as if he is supposed to scream but no one hears anything due to the rune verse Harkness chanted ' Didn't think that was going to backfire ' Chara thought and she quickly shielded herself from an attack from Gaia " Another Gaia huh ? This power is annoying "
She fights the vision that appeared and thinks about Cronus ' Did Delusion lie about being able to free Cronus's power ? ' Gaia creates a weapon and Chara tapped her staff forming an artificial Gleipnir and wrapping it around Gaia .
' Harry did say that the limit of the timeline was that it was within the confines of the nine realms and that there was nothing outside it , I just hope that Delusion was lying about being able to free Cronus's power from the seal since it'll be disappointing to know my enemy is better than me '
Chara thinks about their forces likely having trouble watching all of this great event unfold ' Considering the mad god over there , the god of time , Ikuta chasing Delusion at high speed , the cracks that are appearing , But where is Locke ? '
She suddenly hears a loud echo turning it to see Locke fighting against a Vision that looks like Estrea " Stop " the runes bind Locke's attack in place ' This vision is annoying ' Locke creates more spell formulas and Estrea creates counter spells .
Their spells collided and Locke wondered how the vision could outmatch him . Estrea was impressed watching the vision of herself fight against Locke while providing support for the soldiers .
' I never thought a vision of myself has the potential to fight against the defender a powerful mage that painted the image of dragons as equal to gods ' Drakon was amazed by Midgard watching through Himinbjorg's screens .
' Yeah that's the Locke I know ' Locke summons his affinities' mana out of his body and Estrea sends empty spell formulas to consume them but Locke chants .
" STOP " the spells freeze in their place and Estrea realizes the problem and quickly chants " MOVE " " BACK " Locke combined his chant with Estrea causing the empty spell formulas to return to her consuming her mana instead of his affinities .
Locke crafts a great spell formula over his affinities connecting them all and Estrea quickly performs a chant " Protect " " ME " Locke steals her shield and his manas cause an explosion in the air .
The vision was killed and Locke absorbed the remaining mana floating in space and sensed a pull . He turns to see a gaping abyss ' Tartarus ' he is pulled into it and transforms into his lizard form before ascension falling into the abyss .
He fell on the ground checking his body ' Hmm back to my old Lizard form huh ? ' Locke wondered how Tartarus was supposed to trap him ' My affinities circuits are still intact except they are empty '
He looked around wondering what exactly he needed to fight and heard two footsteps ' I see among all of Cronus's siblings these two were the ones who were trapped here ' He saw two giants one with little and the other with many heads , hands and eyes .
' They are scary ' " Kill him " Tartarus said and the two charged towards Locke he gathered enough mana blasting the cyclopes ' My mana is going to take a while to get here they might even overheat from the friction so I just have to borrow Little bro's power '
Locke raised his claws to the sky and some mana dropped into him strengthening his body and sprouting wings at his back ' This should be enough to fly ' a boulder enchanted with Tartarus's divinity was thrown and he flew to the sky regaining more of his many as he gets lose " You will not leave "
Tartarus closes the chasm back to space where Locke's residual mana remains , Locke lands on the ceiling seeing the two giants crawl from the walls with better mobility provided by Tartarus ' Well I don't think I have enough mana to break this but Tartarus is pretty much like an earth deity '
Locke starts to absorb Tartarus's power through the ceiling he was hanging on and he feels his weight getting heavier and heavier ' I won't need these ' He flaps his wings sending himself to the wall and letting his wings change .
He falls while scratching the walls with his hands taking more of Tartarus's divinity which charges and changes his affinities' circuits ' I'll have to finish this ' Locke's scales start to glow by the color fo Tartarus's divinity increasing his strength .
He throws himself off the walls with his sharp claws imbued with the power of Tartarus and tore through the skin of the Hecatoncheries. The cyclops crawls through the walls trying to reach Locke was soaked in blood ' This is just like fighting the abyss before ascension '
He smiles and leaps out of the flesh of the Hecatoncheries with much sharper claws ready to kill " You're next Cyclop " he massacres the giant and falls into the ground with the skull of a cyclop on fire .
' I got back my fire manas but there isn't much air for me to burn so I'll have to do something about that ' He tries to sense his mana but felt that he was no longer in the world he knew ' Wait are they planning to trap us ? ' he was attacked by some weapons but they barely affected him ' Got darn it I'm trap '
Redun felt the ground give way and their golem body immediately was removed from the core ' What ? ' Stork was also taken away as Stars were lit up causing him to be teleported out . Harkness , Chara , Aichel and Ikuta sensed the connection but thought ' They can take care of themselves '
Harkness waves her hand with the knowledge of her dark magic and reference to the studies of stars from Aichel and Redun's notes . The brightly lighted field blessed by the blessing of stars from Nyx suddenly starts to darken .
The enemy soldiers were stunned to see a very unfamiliar darkness that started to overshadow the starlight . Each star represents a single sun and in each sun there is a solar system with planets or rocks that are slowly being enchanted .
Each sun was suddenly enveloped by a web of darkness that stretched between each night side of the planet or the dark side of their moon The enemy soldiers suddenly froze and Harknessess felt more power in her.
' At this point , I might need Nyx's divinity ' Harkness thought and the spell of silence broke allowing Odin to chant . But with the addition of the darkness many sounds were also made .
" MOVe " " aWaY " " From " " Me " the darkness and the world were confused by the will imposed on them through words and Harkness quickly summons more darkness suppressing the mad god .
They tried to infect her darkness but she focused her efforts on dispelling their influence . Harkness stretches the shadows over Odin and sunk the mad god into the darkness . Aichel fires more bullets towards Cronus who consumed their infinite time in existence against Aichel .
" Why haven't you turned to Dust ? " " Because I am always changing and I am unlike your endless lifespan " Aichel pointed his pistol again firing a shoot before it dissolved and consumed more time to summon another .
Cronus quickly removes his eye from the present and assesses it to look at Aichel . He saw a clock that was about the size of ' What is that ? ' several sets of the hour , minutes and second hands were covering the clock itself barely making out the numbers on the clock .
" What did you do to my power ? " " Oh so you can see it ? " Cronus grits his teeth seeing how much Aichel played with his power through his left eye of hindsight .
" It's simple , I made the power and distributed it to each of my cells , these cells are quite dense as a lifeform but I had Zhack help me make this body and I must say it's a useful one "
Cronus watched a set of clock hands turn and strike midnight turning to dust and a pistol manifest on Aichel's hand . He points it down to the god firing a bullet .
Ikuta grabs the weapon intended for Delusion swinging it with all his might causing the weapon to burn and self-destruct upon Ikuta's swing ' No wonder the peak of the skill has to be a weapon of nothing , no material can withstand that level of skill '
Delusion was taking their time learning and observing Ikuta's attack . They used portals against Ikuta's sword and watched Ikuta thrust and stab their stomach bypassing the portal .
' Ignoring the portal ' Delusion went back and failed to heal their wound and spotted an anti-heal symbol in the air ' Wait then how did he pass the portal ' Ikuta pulled his hand back and threw the sword towards Delusion who tried to use portals to send it away but watched it pass the portals ignoring them .
" Hehehe " Delusion felt a sword on his head " Tell me how is it possible for you to make an anti-heal? " Ikuta walked to Delusion grabbing the unactivated essence of his father , Delusion continued talking " Is it like denying one aspect ? "
Delsuion question and Ikuta summons another sword " or is there not a thing as anti-heal ? " Ikuta felt an attack and dodged it and saw the same weapon that had killed his father held by Delusion .
" Hahaha " the one that was stabbed dissolved and the real one attacked Ikuta " The children of the denier are the same as Denier , I'm sure I can kill you all with this sword " Chara sensed a clone with a sword and quickly teleported away .
Amidst the attacks of the Titans a clone came out aiming towards Zhack with the same sword " You may have inherited their power but you also inherited their weakness , just like when you enter a war as third party you are already victims of war itself "
Ikuta dodges the attacks and quickly tells the rest but remembers the ones that fell out ' I'll get Atsuki to safety " Zhack said and he quickly sends Atsuki to the other side of the universe . With that much distraction , he was stabbed .
' Ahh dang ' they felt Zhack disappear and wondered what happened to the rest . Amidst the horde of monsters Locke was fighting against a clone appeared and stabbed him .
In the reformed midgard Redun was pushing Gaia and a few other gods into the heating core and suddenly felt a part of their body slowly disappear .
" Oh no I'm dy ' in a storm of weapons with Stork as the eye a sword was thrown toward him and he was gone too . The clones leave their respective timelines returning to the real Delusion who is still fighting against Ikuta .
" You are probably the hardest to kill , the difference in skill is astronomical " Delusion said failing to get Ikuta ' but you know I can learn " " But not fast enough " Ikuta swung his blade and killed Delusion .
' Ahh right , I forgot he was holding back ' the clones that were approaching disappeared and Ikuta looked at his father " I'm sorry dad I'll make it up " Ikuta swung his sword forming a cross and bringing his father back .
He blinks looking at Ikuta recalling the scene of all his children " Wow you grew up so fast " Ikuta nodded " Sorry I was a bad kid " He laughed and patted Ikuta on his head " You were a great kid , not implying that the rest were bad "
Ikuta smiled feeling more relief and the weapon used to kill the denier disappeared . Aichel recognized the weapon that appeared on Cronus's hand ' So that's what he was searching for ' before he could shoot himself with the bullet '
Cronus's body vanished and he felt himself get stabbed . Harkness and Chara also followed as Cronus used more of his endless time to stab them while the world was frozen now that Redun had stopped countering the effects . Ikuta was still smiling with his father in front of him and once again watched his father vanish .
Ikuta's eyes quickly emptied the signs of emotions again as Cronus swung the weapon at Ikuta but it passed through the image of him . Ikuta turned around to look at Cronus's left eye ' Dad , everyone '
Ikuta summons a weapon using it to parry Cronus's attack sending him back " Give me my family back " He pointed his sword towards the god of time within the world of frozen time .
