The girl was none other than Aphrodite. The middle-aged man was not an ordinary person, but the sea god Pontus. He rarely walked on the earth and usually lived in seclusion at the bottom of the deep sea. Ordinary folk would never come upon this place.
“Hehe, I came here to see you!”
Aphrodite followed Pontus and answered while admiring the surrounding scenery.
“Right! Brother, an interesting ancient god has appeared in the world.”
After the two chatted for a while, they came to Pontus’residence. After sitting down, Aphrodite thought of something and told him with a smile on her face.
“Oh?”
Sure enough, Pontus became interested upon hearing it.
“You should have heard of this name. He used to be called the Hecatoncheires. They merged into one, and now his name is Lorne!”
“Hecatoncheires? Weren’t they imprisoned in Tartarus?”
Pontus was a little surprised when he heard that, and then he asked her curiously.
“I’m not sure. Anyway, he seems to have escaped, and he has become very handsome and powerful. Even God King Cronus is no match for him. I don’t think you would be a match for Lorne either. He even got another divine sword in the far west sea!”
Aphrodite seemed to be talking to herself as she excitedly spilled it all to Pontus.
“Oh? He got his hands on the newborn divine sword?”
Pontus was a little surprised when he heard it.
“Oh? You know it?”
Pontus shook his head and smiled. “Have you forgotten what I am the god of? The divine sword was born about a few years ago. It caused a huge commotion in the sea, so I went to check it out. I thought I got lucky, but another god came. I sensed his power and it was immense, so I wasn’t sure if I could defeat him.
“I also sensed that the divine sword was still a long time away from birth. In addition, I wasn’t interested in staying there, so I left. So, that person turned out to be Lorne!”
Aphrodite sighed with emotion.
It seemed that the divine sword was really fated to be with him! The vast sea was boundless, and the divine sword just happened to appear in the area where he was.
Then, Aphrodite spoke of many things that she had heard from other places.
…
As time passed, although the gods of Titan and Olympus had signed an agreement, the battle between the two sides began again. However, this time, they fought in the air, or they arranged battles in Tartarus.
Some battles still occurred on the ground, but they were quickly broken up if no winner could be determined within a few moves.
In the southern part of the continent, there was a primeval forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no sunlight all day long, and it was filled with dark fog and miasma. The creatures that entered were rarely able to escape, and it was known as the Lost Forest.
Many spirit fruits grew inside, which could increase the power of the gods.
This fertile land became the focus of the battle between the two sides.
In a hundred orchards in the lost forest, teams of soldiers dressed in the Olympians’ garb were carrying out normal patrols.
This was the fruit garden that an Olympian god had discovered by accident not long ago. There were a lot of spiritual fruits in it, so it had been reported immediately to Zeus. Zeus took notice of it and sent a heavy guard.
This greatly increased Olympian’s strength, causing the Titans to launch sneak attacks frequently.
Suddenly, countless boulders fell from the sky. Immediately, countless soldiers were smashed to death, causing chaos.
“Not good! The Titans have launched an ambush!”
Suddenly, a panicked voice was heard. The god guarding this place was Zeus’ son, Ares. When he heard these words.. he was instantly overjoyed. “Damn it! I’ve been itching for a battle. To think that one would find me! Men! Follow me and charge out!”
After saying that, he immediately donned his armor and rushed out with a heavy bronze spear in hand.
His aura burst across the battlefield.
He had always liked to fight. Ever since the start of the war with the Titans, he had been extremely excited. One of his traits as the god of war allowed him the grow stronger the more he fought. In the war, he was like a fish in water. Among the Olympian gods, he was also one of their heaviest hitters.
However, ever since he had signed the agreement, he had been sent to guard the sacred mountain. This time, it had taken a lot of pleading for him to agree to guard the hundred fruit garden. This had turned out to be a pleasant surprise. He had not expected an actual battle.
The moment Ares went out, it became a massacre. Wherever he went, the Titan soldiers died tragically.
The Olympian soldiers were overjoyed and moralized.
“Ares! You are courting death!”
The Titan soldiers were slaughtered consecutively. Naturally, it got the attention of other forces. They appeared in front of Ares, blocking his intention to continue killing the soldiers.
“It’s you? Hyperion?”
Ares instantly recognized him. He was none other than Hyperion, one of the twelve main gods of the Titans.
“If you have the guts, meet me in the air!”
Hyperion’s eyes revealed killing intent as he shouted.
“Why wouldn’t I have the guts!”
After saying that, Ares charged into the sky without the slightest bit of fear.
Hence, the two of them flew into the sky. A powerful clash began.
As one of the main Titans, Hyperion was also in charge of the sky. Ares quickly found himself on the back foot.
He took a beating and was quickly battered. After all, the current Ares was still too immature and had not grown up yet.
Just at the critical moment, Olympus’ reinforcements arrived.
The person who came was none other than Ares’ brother Apollo. The two of them worked together to block Hyperion.
Not long after, the battle ended. Olympus suffered heavy losses, and many of the spirit trees in the orchard were destroyed.
This made Ares furious.
However, this scene happened all the time on the mainland. Ares was only another one to suffer. Other unlucky gods were wiped out, their spirits shattered.
The Olympus gods suffered heavy losses. The conflict between the two sides escalated, but they were at a disadvantage.
…
In the palace on Mount Olympus.
The gods sat together in a hall, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Zeus did not say a word and took the lead seat. His face was ashen. Hades, who was dressed in a black robe, stood up, sighing. “Since three years ago, for some unknown reason, the Titans suddenly began to attack us en masse. They are powerful. If this continues, the situation won’t be good!”
It had been a long time since Cronus appeared, but this made them even more worried. After all, it was common knowledge that Cronus had been wounded by Lorne. If he recovered his strength, the war was over.
All the gods felt their hearts tremble, but they were helpless.
They were not willing to see a real war. After all, they were not as powerful as the Titans.
However, if this dragged on, things would get even worse for them.
“Let’s fight it out with them! I don’t believe it! The Titans are courting death!”
Ares could not hold it in anymore. He slammed the table and said angrily.
“With what exactly?”
“Then what should we do? We can’t do this nor that!”
Hence, the palace quietened down again.
“Why don’t we approach Lorne?”
Hera asked softly.
“After all, the Titans and Lorne are not exactly friendly with one another..”
