Percy Jackson - Godwyn the Golden

Chapter 112 112 - Chaos in Greece (IV)

On the Greek and Norse battlefield.

The Greek and Norse armies had already initiated confrontations over the days and months, a consensus was reached on both sides: soldiers fight against soldiers, generals fight against generals, and kings fight against kings. The difference between levels was completely insane. A general could crush an army of soldiers, and a king could crush an army of generals.

Not even Odin went against this consensus; experienced soldiers took time to train, and even if he conquered Greece, he wouldn't have enough soldiers to protect both territories. So, he focused only on Hades, Poseidon, and Hades.

The same happened with Zeus; he couldn't lose any more soldiers; the war casualties were already exorbitant. If it continued, perhaps even the Nymphs would be brought to the battlefield to be cannon fodder in this war.

However, in the second month after Zeus arrived on the battlefield, the war on the Greek side completely stopped, which left the Norse side extremely confused. Then, they soon understood the reason why the war had stopped.

A gigantic pillar of light rose into the sky; the pillar of light was exactly above the Greek world. Zeus's face changed drastically, as at the same moment, another pillar of light rose into the sky. Then, the third one rose, leaving Zeus's expression extremely grim. So grim that his features seemed to disappear for a long time.

The reason for Zeus's expression was that in the three pillars of light, there were two auras at the God King level and one slightly smaller but equally powerful aura.

But Zeus's expression darkened because of the divine energy of the second pillar of light, a divine energy he knew very well.

"Cronus!!!" A furious roar escaped Zeus's lips; storm clouds appeared all over New York, a storm so strong that it seemed it would sweep everything off the map, including cities and all the life inhabiting them. Zeus was so furious that the Pantheon itself seemed to resonate with him; the God King's voice spread throughout the entire Pantheon.

When Zeus was about to run towards Olympus, ready to launch a counterattack, a figure mounted on an eight-legged horse appeared before him. It was Odin, looking at Zeus with a cold and calm gaze; there was no sarcasm or anything else in his expression, just a cold look.

"You will not leave this battlefield, grandson of Uranus." Odin spoke in a calm tone. Only a fool would let Zeus return at this moment. The more Uranus, Cronus, and Typhon divided the Greek territory, the less power Zeus would have. Once that happened, it wouldn't be difficult to kill Zeus.

Knowing this, how could Odin allow Zeus to return?

"Hades, Poseidon!!!" Knowing that he couldn't return, not while Odin stopped him, Zeus had no choice but to send Hades and Poseidon to fight against Uranus, Cronus, and Typhon, who appeared at the same time. However, Zeus's expression was not good at all.

Uranus, Cronus, and Typhon. There were only Hades and Poseidon who could fight against these three; they were not only weaker but also outnumbered. This was terrible. For the first time, Zeus felt that he could really die on the battlefield. This terrified him to the extreme, as he felt there was a pair of eyes watching him in the shadows.

Hades and Poseidon looked at each other; both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes and did not hesitate, leaving the battlefield towards the Greek Pantheon without any delay. Hades's face was calmer, but Poseidon showed a worried expression.

Odin watched the two and stood still; he knew it was impossible to keep all three, so he focused on the strongest and most important. He didn't think Hades and Poseidon were enough to fight against Uranus, Cronus, and Typhon at the same time. Not even Zeus could, much less the King of the Underworld and the King of the Sea.

Zeus also knew this, so knowing he couldn't waste time, he simply advanced against Odin wielding the Master Bolt. Odin also advanced; he knew that to keep Zeus on the battlefield, the battle had to happen.

While the two Divine Kings advanced towards each other, in New York, the sky was completely strange.

It seemed to be divided into four areas; one of the areas, the largest, was covered in storm clouds, the second largest was clear, showing a pure blue sky, the third area seemed tinged with a golden hue with the power of time, the fourth area was full of powerful and cold winds.

"And the Fourth Greek Civil War has begun." Godwyn commented with a smile, looking at the sky divided into four parts. The arrival of Uranus was a surprise in Godwyn's plans, but he didn't care, as one more wouldn't change anything.

"Do you think they joined forces to fight against Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon?" Thalia, who was next to Godwyn, asked while eating a hot dog; her cheek looked like a squirrel's full of nuts, which made her somewhat adorable.

"Fortunately for Zeus, none of the three enemies will ally with each other." Godwyn said with a touch of regret. It was totally impossible for Cronus to join Uranus, just as it was impossible for Typhon to ally with his enemies. The four parties in this civil war had grudges against each other.

Unless Zeus became terribly strong to the point of facing all three at once, Uranus, Cronus, and Typhon would never ally.

Thalia nodded and looked at Godwyn with a solemn gaze. "Are you going back to the Norse World?"

"Not yet, Yggdrasil gave me two years; there are a few months left for that time to end." Godwyn would not return to the Norse world until the last minute. Unlike Zeus, Odin would never leave his pantheon unguarded; after all, just like the Greek God King, Odin also had countless enemies.

So, Godwyn would wait until the last minute, when Yggdrasil's death was about to be revealed. Besides, he wanted there to be more chaos.

"However, although I won't return at the moment, our allies in the Norse world can start Ragnarok." Godwyn said in a calm tone. He couldn't let Odin's life be so peaceful; facing Zeus was not that stressful for Odin.

"It's incredible what your fake death started." Thalia couldn't help but be moved; she never imagined that someone's death could involve so many things.

"I already knew this would happen, especially knowing the mentality of both God Kings." Godwyn was not surprised; he planned for this to happen from the beginning, so he was not at all surprised by the progress of his plans.

"Sometimes I think you're a supervillain like Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom." Thalia commented, finishing her hot dog.

"If I had their intelligence, things would have been much easier." Godwyn rolled his eyes upon hearing Thalia's comparison. He felt flattered, but he didn't feel he even came close to the intelligence of those two individuals.

He just used the advantage of knowing this world well and did the things he wanted; compared to Lex or Doctor Doom, he was far behind.

"Just accept my compliment, golden boy." Thalia said in an irritated tone, punching Godwyn's shoulder, making him look at the girl with a mischievous look. "You better prepare yourself, because I'll return those punches at another time."

A blush appeared on the gothic girl's pale cheeks; Thalia perfectly understood the implications in Godwyn's words. Looking at her boyfriend, she stuck out her tongue and simply disappeared from Godwyn's sight.

The God of Order rolled his eyes at the girl's shyness and felt a mixture of amusement and smugness. Since Thalia liked to punch his shoulder, he would return those punches and slaps in the future.

"Godwyn, I have to leave for a moment, but I'll be back before dinner." Suddenly, Chaos appeared behind Godwyn, startling the Norse god; he spoke in a calm tone and looked at Godwyn with a look full of amusement.

"Go scare your mother, you bastard." Godwyn said in a sharp tone; he hated surprises, especially scares.

"I don't have a mother, HAHAHAHAH!!!!" Leaving those words, Chaos disappeared, leaving Godwyn in the spot with a helpless expression.

"I swear one day I'll kick his butt so hard he'll beg for death." Godwyn muttered to himself with an expression of anger and amusement.

Looking again at the sky divided into four areas, he smiled, feeling satisfied and full of a sense of accomplishment.
