Chapter 70: Decision.

"You're weak." Thanatos scoffed. He saw what Rao did to Oceanus; he thought that decision was silly. If it were him, he would have killed Oceanus. After all, traitors must die. "Traitors must not remain alive."

Rao looks calmly at Thanatos who was on top of Atlas's head, the titan who had a punishment given by Zeus to hold the skies forever. [A / N: Don't ask me how it makes sense.]

"I think the same; the traitors must die, but ..." Rao spoke in a neutral tone that contained no feeling. "I am a king. I must decide who is going to die or not; I will not take orders from anyone." Rao was not naive. He knew that if he killed the Titans, the gods who were children of the Titans would have negative feelings about him. Because of that, he decided to change his perspective. He will take away all the divinities from the traitorous titans; he will make sure that these traitors live their lives as ordinary humans. This will be the punishment of the traitors, they will just be a weak aging human who has no power at all.

He made that decision when he received a power boost, but initially, he was thinking about killing all the titans.

He is not naive to believe that this solution pleases all gods, but will prevent many gods from betraying him. After all, the mentality of the gods is very different from other beings.

He can clearly feel that Metis, Gaia, Rhea and Nyx had a good impression of him leaving the Titans alive. For Rao this is more than enough, he needs allies and not enemies.

Rao doesn't want to have to kill an entire pantheon; he wants to rule the Greek pantheon ... But if the gods betray him in the future, he will exterminate the entire Greek pantheon ...

*BOOOOOOM! *

Rao flies with a sonic boom then catches Thanatos by the neck and flies skyward. Suddenly he stopped flying and threw him back to the ground.

"Ugh !?" It was all so fast that Thanatos couldn't react.

Rao's eyes started to shine, then a beam of golden light flew towards Thanatos.

"Shit." Thanatos covers himself with his divinity and protects himself.

The titan who had his stomach opened by Rao has recovered from his injuries. He gets up from the ground then he looks at Rao in the sky, he claps his hands together and soon the skies start to shake.

The 'light' was falling towards Rao, that was the divinity of the Titan Hyperion, the Titan of the Light.

Rao tried to deflect, but he was no faster than the light.

The light cuts through Rao's flesh, but soon his flesh is regenerated.

He looks up at the sky and sees thousands of lights falling towards him.

"If I can't divert you." Rao murmurs, he looks at the Titan. "I just have to face it!" He positions the blade of Olympus in front of him and uses it as a shield.

* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! "

With a sonic boom, he flies towards Hyperion!

"I couldn't react the first time; I was inattentive, but I won't make that mistake again." Hyperion spoke in a serious tone, the Titan's body covered itself in light and it disappeared.

Rao stops flying and looks to the side in annoyance. 'That speed is annoying ...'

Rao feels a danger coming from his neck, he defends himself with the Blade of Olympus and looks at the individual.

Soon he saw a beautiful woman with black hair; she had an expression of hatred as she looked at Rao.

Rao did not know the woman, but the moment she entered Mount Olympus territory information about her emerged in his mind.

"Hecate, the woman Persephone adopted as a daughter." He murmured.

Thanatos appears next to Hecate and soon several titans that were scattered begin to surround Rao.

Rao looks at all the enemies and he smiles arrogantly. "Do you think that just this is enough to kill me?"

Thanatos displays a skeletal smile, he snaps his fingers and a crack is opened in the floor of Mount Olympus.

* Step! * * Step! * * Step! *

Rao's arrogant smile almost broke when he heard the footsteps of the giants.

Monsters that have a hundred arms and fifty heads join the war, the Hecatonchiros came out of Tartarus!

* ROOOOOOOOAAAAAA! *

Bestial roars are heard by all the gods on Mount Olympus.

Hecate displays a cold smile and soon several spirits and gods of the underworld begin to appear.

"Rao." Hera was concerned.

Artemis had a smile on her face, but she was also upset. She wanted to kill Rao for herself, she didn't want to see him die from someone else.

Gaia and Nyx just looked at it all neutrally. They were with a stance that they wouldn't meddle in the matter, but they were feeling uncomfortable. They feel grateful for Oceanus, but Rao is still a foreign god, they don't know if he will continue through it.

Athena just looked at everything neutrally.

The only gods who were beside Rao at that time, were Hades, Metis and Hera.

Rao was alone against thousands of enemies.

Rao looked at all enemies with an arrogant smile and he calmly reevaluated his situation. His eyes look at all his enemies, he also looks at all the gods on Mount Olympus. He closes his eyes, then he opens them and makes a decision:

"I changed my mind."

* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!!!!!!! *

A gigantic divinity began to emerge from Rao's body.

"From this moment on there will be no mercy. I will give you a chance ... Just a chance; drop your weapons and surrender then I promise you will live." He spoke in a neutral and serious tone. He realized that with so many enemies, he can no longer afford not to kill.

Thanatos' allies feel stupid for a moment but soon they smile, eventually they start laughing at Rao.

A titan's head falls to the ground and the titan's divinity is picked up by Rao. The titan who died was Ceos, the titan of knowledge and intelligence.

"Noooooo!" Gaia and Rhea cried out in despair.

Rao who was next to a gigantic body that was slowly falling to the ground as if in slow motion. "I told you, right? From now on there will be no mercy, I will exterminate all traitors. " Rao's tone was heavy; he was extremely serious: "All traitors will be killed and their divinities removed. Those gods who are just watching everything and not taking sides in this war, I will consider them as traitors and I will kill them also." He gave a very clear order; choose your side or die.

* Boooooooom! *

The titan's body falls to the ground.

Rao raises the blade to the sky: "I, Rao, as the new king of Olympus, declare: All traitors who die by my blade will have their divinity withdrawn." Rao spoke in a voice that contained an authority that can move worlds.

Slowly, the red fire that covered the blade of Olympus began to turn golden; Rao had added his authority to the blade.

He looks at everyone and says with a bloody smile: "Come on." He called with a gesture of hands, just a god against thousands of enemies.

Thanatos' allies look at Rao fiercely.

"Attack!" Thanatos orders!!

* WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA !! *
