Chapter 1487: The Desperate Last Stand of the God of Time
Mist.
"[Black Goat]..." Kronos gazed at the writhing mass of tentacled clouds above his head, his expression grim!
Though he had never directly interacted with the three pillar gods of Earth's Cthulhu Faction, the nauseating aura emanating from that thing was enough for him to确定，那便是三柱神中的【Black Goat】，莎布·尼古拉斯！ It was the source of the ash-like snow that had contaminated Heaven and Hell, the nightmare of the Asgard gods, the puppeteer lurking behind Odin and Lucifer, the monster that had gradually devoured countless divine kingdoms from the depths of the mist, and the earliest-awakened Cthulhu deity on Earth!
Back when the Cthulhu pantheon's [Key to the Gate], Yogs-Sothoth's mist avatar had nearly annihilated all life on Earth and severely weakened countless divine kingdoms—and this being before him was an existence of the same caliber!
The moment he saw it, Kronos knew his survival was unlikely... Even if he had been the previous Olympian King of Gods, even if his power ranked among the顶尖Supreme Gods, before that thing, his chances of victory were virtually nonexistent.
"You... you beast..." Kronos's eyes locked onto Zeus beside him, his gaze promising dismemberment, "You actually colluded with these creatures to算计我?! I am your father!!"
Zeus clenched his fists tightly, his voice deep: "When have the Greek gods ever cared about family? Didn't you also kill your own father with your own hands to claim the throne of King of Gods?
I worked so hard to make Olympus the sole divine kingdom in the world. If you had just continued to stay out of it, that would've been fine—but you just had to interfere... This is entirely your own doing."
Kronos glared at Zeus in fury, his body trembling with rage. Lucifer, gripping his black sword, coldly smiled: "Kronos, your son is much smarter than you. [Black Goat] has fully awakened. If Zeus hadn't proactively brought Olympus to surrender to us, then...呵呵, there would be no Greek mythology left in this world.
A divine kingdom with only one supreme deity is utterly defenseless before [Black Goat] and me."
Kronos coldly scanned his surroundings—Zeus, Lucifer, [Black Goat]... He didn't know exactly how terrifying [Black Goat]'s power was, but an Fallen Angel like Lucifer alone was already extremely troublesome to deal with, let alone his treacherous son Zeus.
His expression shifted rapidly. His hands gripping the cane tightened用力, and in his eyes, a pair of interlocking time circles began spinning in reverse.
The law of time rapidly spread from within Kronos. His eyes narrowed, and his form began to rapidly fade from the spot.
Seeing this, Zeus's expression darkened. "He's going to traverse time and return to the past..."
Before he could finish, at the center of the writhing black clouds in the sky, a massive mouth filled with jagged teeth suddenly tore open. A sphere of light shrouded in gray mist drifted out from within, and faintly, countless bubbles could be seen churning inside it.
Had Lin Qiye been present, he would immediately recognize it as the [Key to the Gate] fragment that had exiled their entire group to the end of time and space!
The moment this gray mist sphere appeared, as Kronos was fading into the river of time, his form shuddered violently. The surrounding temporal laws seemed to lock in place, forcibly ejecting him from time itself!
Kronos stared at the gray mist sphere, his eyes filling with terror.
That thing could seal time and space?!
Kronos's cane struck the void. The stagnant time laws around him instantly rippled outward, though far more weakly than before.
The [Key to the Gate] itself was the omniscient incarnation of time and space, originating from beyond this world. Its body fragments possessed a terrifying suppressing effect on the time laws of this world.
Though for a Supreme God like Kronos, this fragment alone couldn't completely seal his temporal laws, it was like shackles binding his body—he could no longer use the river of time to reverse flow and return to the past.
The [Chrono Outlaw]'s greatest strength was leveraging time regression to alter history. Now, the [Key to the Gate] fragment had directly locked down his path back to the past, drastically weakening his power while completely eliminating his means of escape.
Kronos furrowed his brow, glancing toward the moon—but that writhing mass of black clouds nearly blotted out the entire sky.
"Give up. You can't escape." Lucifer sneered. "With [Black Goat] here, all heavenly secrets and fates will be thrown into chaos. Even Michael couldn't see you... No one is coming to save you."
A pair of blood-red wings unfurled from Lucifer's back. His eight wings thundered, and his form flashed before Kronos like lightning, a demonically-grinning black sword thrusting directly toward his chest!
Kronos's expression turned livid. Ripples of time struggled to spread outward. His身形 left afterimages as he dodged the strike. After a brief hesitation in midair, he charged directly toward Zeus, murderous intent surging to the heavens!
Seeing Kronos suddenly rushing toward him, Zeus froze for a moment—then a premonition of death rose in his heart!
He wants to kill me?
He actually wants to kill me!!
Previously, during Kronos's battle with Zeus, he had been holding back and harbored no intent to kill. But now, Kronos showed not the slightest concealment of his killing intent, looking ready to die alongside Zeus in mutual destruction!
Since escape was impossible, taking down at least one threat to Earth was better than nothing!
Killing [Black Goat] was out of the question, and Lucifer's power was not inferior to Kronos's. The only option was Zeus—his treacherous son!
When Zeus saw this, a flash of panic crossed his face. His form turned into a thick bolt of lightning, fleeing toward the horizon at once.
Face him head-on?
Don't be ridiculous. A Kronos driven to mutual destruction was absolutely beyond what he could withstand.
Below the writhing black clouds, an elderly man in black, leaning on his cane, desperately chased the lightning-formed Zeus. His temporal laws rippled violently outward, causing Zeus's speed to visibly slow until he even began moving backward toward Kronos.
"You ungrateful whelp... Even if I die here today, I will kill you!" Kronos's eyes blazed with murderous intent. His cane smashed toward Zeus's heart!
The moment the cane's tip touched Zeus's back, the rock-hard muscle beneath began to rapidly age, becoming flaccid and fragile. The cane tip easily pierced the flesh, heading straight for his heart.
Zeus's pupils constricted sharply!
At that moment, a black tentacle covered in suction cups dropped from the sky, wrapping tightly around Kronos's wrist.
The latter's eyes narrowed. He looked up sharply to find that within the cloud-like mass of darkness, a giant eye had opened without warning, silently staring down at him...
