6 [6] Titanomachy (4) & Plan & Olympus !
a few years later , Zeus called for a meeting in Crete , our current base of operations ...
I went there with my newly created subourdinates , who are currently the strongest generals I can use in this war.
the others were left to manage the underworld , and they didn't really like the idea in taking part in a war that wasn't their business ...
Helping me gather the souls and bodies of the dead in the war is already giving me quite the help and enriching my underworld resources and my knowledge ...
Anyways , I don't believe I need them in such a war , and I can win it by myself and my generals and their clans ...
As I reached Crete , I met up with Demeter and had some cuddles , then met up with my other siblings ...
Each of them had great improvements during the last few years training in the environment suitable for them ...
also , each of them gathered quite the allies ...
Zeus managed to gather the Nymphs , One of the Three major races that resulted from Ouranos falling blood meeting the Earth , Gaea ...
With the other 2 races being the Furies under my command in the underworld , and the last one ...
The last race is the Giants , who are Huge stupid monsters , sometimes possessing elemental powers , who in the mythology I know made a rebellion against Olympus much later after we ruled the world ...
They lost miserably though , and as with all immortal races that lose , they just get chucked into Tartarus to be tortured for infinity and beyond ...
Still , they probably don't exist for now , as Gaea only created them later to overthrow Zeus ...
Something that irritates me , since Tartarus is in MY domain , and Zeus just treats it as a prison for all those who oppose him ...
and treats ME , as just a prison guardian ...
This will be changed though, I will change my fate and even the fate of others on my journey to becoming Supreme !
As we were talking , most of the female races followed Zeus faction , probably because of his handsomeness & lewdness , and also greedy to get closer to the future godking (He is very sociable and others consider him the leader of all gods' rebellion against Cronus) ...
Rhea , Our mother , may have helped with that ...
Poseidon gathered all the sea clans and sea beasts under his command , and he already extended his domain into a vast sea area ...
He also had the support of many females , because of his handsomeness as well ...
Poseidon also gained the backing of the ancient Titan Oceanus , who is the first of all Titans even before Cronus , and Oceanus agreed not to take part in the war and will just sat neutral ...
the women mentioned before that followed Poseidon were sea Nymphs, children of Oceanus ...
My Sisters on the other hand , didn't do as well as my brothers , they only managed to gather a small faction of land and air beasts each ...
As for me , I used the massive resource point called the underworld to amass a large number of dead souls , reconstructing them as Ghosts, and then reviving them in bodies of one of the 4 clans I created ...
The Army I managed to make is considerable in number and quality...
And more importantly , I had them trained systematically and orderly , do they can use battle formations during the war to share the pressure and defeat stronger opponents using teamwork ...
Also , each of the 4 ancestors reached a veey high level under me by training them personally , and using a lot of underworld resources (blood , bones ,flesh , treasures) to enhance their power ...
They were originally very powerful ghosts , and when I created them , I added a bit of my magic and divine energy , so their potential and power grew very fast ...
They are about the level of my sisters , before the recent training started ...
they still have multiple trump cards , though ...
As for why I don't have a lot of women following me like my brothers , there are multiple reasons :
- First , I have Demeter ,and I Plan to be faithful to her , at least until a few thousand years pass , and I won't be as lewd as my brothers who rape every walking living being ...
- Second , I have a gloomy aura around me , which pushes all living beings away , and going with me to live in the underworld is unpleasant for anyone , even Demeter only entered it a few times because of her strong love for me ...
- Last , I hate to say it , but I am probably not the most handsome god around , probably even the least ...
it isn't that I am that ugly , but simply that I have Ash grey skin color , Gaunt body even when I tried building muscles , and huge dark circles under my eyes ...
simply put , I am handsome , but these fairies failed to realise my awesomeness , yup that must be it , I am not ugly at all (sob sob...)
Other than all those allied , we managed to get another important ally ...
Prometheus !
The Titan god of Fire , more commonly known for stealing the fire from gods and giving it to humans ...
The fire that he stole doesn't represent only fire , it also represents knowledge and striving to acquire it , so he is venerated sometimes as the god of wisdom and knowledge and the god of scholars ...
Sadly , he was heavily punished by Zeus for that , and suffered eternal torture of being bound to a rock on a volalcano , and having a hawk (symbol of zeus) come each day to eat his liver , and then his liver regenerates barely by the time the hawk comes the next day again ...
Probably , I will save him from this , but that is talk of the future ...
For now , the meeting started ....
_______________________________________________
" The meeting shall start , we must discuss the steps we take in this war !" shouted Zeus majestically.
As he said this , he glanced sideways at me , probably threatened by my presence as someone stronger than him , and afraid of me stealing his light ...
" First , we must discuss our war potential compared to the titans , and see who will face who in the war." I said reasonably.
The people present nodded, agreeing to my proposition.
" Gods against Gods, Generals against Generals and Soldiers against Soldiers." I said.
" Since we three brother will each get the most benefits in this war , we shall also give the most.
Zeus will go against Cronus , I will go against Atlas , Poseidon will use his powers to destroy the many weaker gods on Cronus' side !"
Zeus and Poseidon looked Confident with their current power to defeat their opponents.
As for how Zeus will defeat Cronus , he could do it in the original myth , so he can probably do the same now...
as for how Cronus the Titan of Time , was beaten by the god of lightning , thunder sky and justice Zeus , this is beyond me ...
but I have a theory that Cronus ability to control Time is really crude or really weak or both ,as Titans aren't known for their delicate control over their power ,they just use their divine energy to support their powerful bodies in doing physical combat ...
From these , I deduced that Cronus probably used his ability to make time faster for himself to speed himself up , or slower for others to slow them down , which Zeus with his lightning speed can probably deal with easily ...
The major problem is actually for myself , Atlas is known as the God of Strength , and he is more like an ally than a subourdinate to Cronus really ...
He may even be stronger than Cronus ...
" What about us ? what will we do ?" My sisters : Demeter , Hestia and Hera asked.
" You shall stay behind and support the troops , we don't want you to be hurt in the war , as this war was mainly our thing to begin with ,and we will be the ones to reap the world as our territory in the future." I replied.
They seemed OK with this , as they weren't that great in combat and were quite afraid of the war.
also , as I said ,they don't reap any huge benefits even if they fought hard , and might just put themselves in danger and distract us to save them.
Demeter was a quite upset , she was much stronger than Hera and Hestia due to my focused training on her , but I still didn't want her to fight in the war herself.
I managed to convince her using Telepathy how I was worried about her and didn't want her to get injured ,which she just replied with a look full of love and adoration ...
Uhh , she is so cute , I am so going to marry her after this war settles down , and will have millions of children with her ...
although so many children may be impossible, as gods can't just have that many children who are gods , or the world goes to ruin ...
so probably , I would only have a few children with her which I will focus a lot of attention on raising and training ...
as I had lucid dreams of my prosperous life after the war , I was woken up by a sudden question.
" How shall we deal with the 4 direction Titans then ? they are Atlas Generals and Cronus major subourdinates and are quite strong." Poseidon asked.
Uh , the 4 direction Titans are very strong , they are only slightly weaker than Atlas , and Poseidon can't handle them alone.
They are Hyperion in the West , Lapetus in the East , Koios in the North and Krios in the South ...
They are very strong only slightly weaker than Cronus and Atlas ...
Also , they can cooperate with each other quite well ...
I thought a little and replied to Poseidon's question " You shall halt them a bit , and my generals will ambush them and seal them away using a special skill."
As I said this , all the gods looked at the four figures behind my seat ...
They looked , suspicious ?
My generals had very strong strength , and they wore their armor in active form , so they looked very strong and as majestic as generals can be ...
Zeus took the opportunity to ask " Borther , Who are they ? Can they really handle the 4 Titans ? What kind of special skill can they use to deal with the them ?"
" They are my generals , I created them. Yes , they can deal with the 4 Titans, I taught them a special magic skill , and they will sacrifice their body and some resource of my underworld to succefully seal the 4 Titans."
The gods heaved a sigh of relief , as long as the magic uses such heavy sacrifices , its power will be very strong , so they believed in this plan ...
As for my 4 generals themselves , I already told them about the plan using Telepathy before I said the plan , and they accepted with no change in their expressions ...
I already have their full loyalty, and their bodies are merely carriers for their ghost souls , and I told them I'd recreate their bodies later , even stronger than before , so they are okay with sacrificing themselves ...
Prometheus , who seemed groggy during the whole meeting and didn't talk much , had his eyes gleaming when he found out I 'created' them , the idea seemed novel to him , and he told me he'd like to have a discussion about creating races and various subjects of magic after the meeting , of course using Telepathy...
I invited him to come to the Underworld later after the meeting ...
The discussion continued , and we decided that our allies and subourdinates will take part in the war against minor and weak being s under Cronus' rule ...
My 4 undead races , Zeus Nymphs & other mythical creatures , Poseidon's Sea clans and sea Nymphs, my sisters' underlings ....
My sisters , and other gods and goddesses not suitable for combat will stay behind and support the troops using magic and blessings ...
other gods suitable for combat will fight against the other Titans under Cronus ...
later , near the end of the meeting :-
" Mount Orthys , Cronus' base is here , we need to move our base close to it to make the war management easier , and the process of supplying troops as fast as possible." I said, as I pointed at a place on a mini 3D map condensed from sand of different colors using my power ...
" Okay , I choose this mountain , it had good geographical advantage and will put a thorn in Cronus' side." Poseidon replied, and none of the other gods argued , it was quite a good location ...
" Good , then we shall relocate our base to that mountain and build fortifications fast. The Mountain still needs a name , though." I said.
" We shall name it , Mount Olympus !" Zeus declared obnoxiously, taking none if our opinions into considerations.
I glanced at the gods here and none of them objected the name , though some of them looked disgruntled and annoyed at zeus , but they quickly hid it ...
After adding a few more finishing touches , the meeting ended , and the gods left to start preparing to move the base to Mount Olympus.
But more importantly , to prepare for the War of Totanomachy finally starting !!!
