Warning of Ophis.

At that moment, Mark felt every inch of his body flooding with mana and power. His muscles were large but super compressed able to power his giant body. His nerves fired faster than ever before and his brain powered on like a supercomputer.

His scales and bones had been forged in the preasure of the Earth with earth and fire mana fusing into his body making him larger and stronger. His poison and acid glands all had been enhanced letting him create much more terrifying compounds.

They were in each of his clawed hands, his teeth, the spikes on his back and his massive bladed tail. Even his blood and tears had gained poisonous and acidic traits making him a deadly fighter in all fields of combat.

He felt instant control over his new body and even how to use it. Mark exhaled hot steam as he returned to his human form. In a flash of light which would blind a mortal, but not Mark's guards he returned to his human form.

Mark looked very much like he used to like this with the only noticable diffrence was that his aura seemed to be a raging storm. He forced his aura back into his body and he even absorbed the Separate Space which had been made by several gods, two dragons, and Runeas.

He could use it as part of the new technique he had in mind and once it vanished he turned to everyone.

"Guess who is back?"

Grimnar howled to the sky in respect of his master returning. As for Celestine the young dragon lept on his shoulder while Runeas did the same into his arm. She laughed as he felt so much stronger than before. Power was always sexy to supernarual beings after all and what being had more power than a Heavenly Dragon?

"You just are one surprise after another Mark."

Mark was about to smile, but a new being caught his eyes. It was a small girl with black hair, grey eyes, and a purple dress. And from the look of it, she caught the eye of everyone else as well as she was not here before.

She had a blank look as she was looking at Mark closely. Mark instinctively knew who she was at a glance. He was a Heavenly Dragon, a being with nearly no equal, but even he had to give due to a Dragon God. Though he would never kneel again, that was a part of when he had been a partial human.

Now, the very idea seemed luducrious which made him angry to even think that he had once done something so shameful.

"Ophis."

Ares gripped his sword and Athena her spear while Phobos and Demios armed themselves as well. Hestia did not do anything as she looked at Ophis with a bit of worry on her face. She even got between Ophos and Mark on instict.

"Please don't kill him."

Ophis seemed confused about that.

"Kill him? Why would I do that?"

Hestia named a few reason.

"Aren't you dragons not very united? I thouht you and Great Red would crush any dragon that became too strong?"

Ophis shook her head.

"I would do no such thing. We dragons are limited in number especially ones that reach such heights. I just wanted to great the 5th Heavenly Dragon."

That confused everyone especially Ddraig.

[What do you mean 5th? Wouldn't Mark be the third?]

Ophis smiled as she looked at the Boosted Gear.

"Tiamat, and Crom Cruach have reached the level of Heavenly Dragons through hard training. Tiamat wants to get back at you and Crom Cruach has been doing the same. And Crom Cruach has become even stronger than you and Albion through pure effort. Meaning, Mark here is the 5th and weakest for how young he us."

[This is not good.]

Ophis shook her head.

"No. Tiamat and Crom Cruach will look for him to challange him to a fight. That is all I wanted to say, and congragulations."

With that said she teleported away. When she was gone, Mark sighed.

"Ddraig, what did you do to make Tiamat mad?"

[I may have borrowed some of her magical treasures for my fight with Albion. Without asking and destroyed them. Now she hunts me and my possesrers for us to pay her back. She is going to do the same for you and will demand a part of your hoard as payment.]

That could not be allowed to happen as a Dragon's Hoard was his pride. Loosing even a single coin would cause a dragon pure wrath. And Ddraig had destroyed some of what he took. Not food indeed.

"You know what, I am going to free you to deal with her alone. Give me one moment."

[NO! Don't leave me to deal with her alone.]

Mark laughed as he was not going to do that.

"I am kidding. Anyways, I have to thank you 5 for comming to my aid. Runeas, Grimnar and Celestine would have done it, but it would not have been as safe on thier own."

Ares waved him off.

"It's fine, though you better help me train again with the new weapon and armor you are going to help me make."

Athena also wanted to request something.

"Would you mind helping me as well? A new set of armor would sound perfect."

Mark nodded.

"For helping me, of course. You two want something too? Uncle Mark will help?"

Ares laughed at his son's who did not look bothered. Phobos had an idea.

"A new spear would be nice."

Deimos on the other hand had an idea.

"A new greatsword, always wanted one of those."

Mark nodded as he got their orders.

"Might as well call Hephasteus for some help when we start. He would be of help."

Athena cringed.

"Him."

In the past Hephasteus tried to court her quite fiercely. Another reason she chose to remain a virgin for so long. Mark nodded.

"I get it, most male Greek gods are very weird or horny. Must be a curse or something. Anyway, I will get in contact with him and he will help me set up the Super Volcano into a forge and lair for me. You all can handle the heat right?"

That was a yes as they were all gods. Seeing that, made Mark look at Backbiter on his hip. The sword was in need of being reforged to deny it from Kronus. Killing Kronus as hew as now would be easy, but Mark wanted to show the Titan the power of Dragon kind.

The true rulers of this world. For now, he wanted to return home.

"I'll see you all later, oh and Athena, if you want your mother back, just ask. I played nice before as Zeus was strong, but now, I don't have to play nice. Though, release the curses you put on Medusa and Arachne. They don't deserve that and apologize to them as well."

Mark clasped his hands and in a flash of blazing silver Grimnar, Celestine, and Runeas along with himself vanished. When he was gone, Athena thought of his words for a moment before she sighed.

"Fine."

She reached up and two strings appeared in her hands. With a hard pull she broke the curses that had plagued both women for millenia. Though living so long as monsters had left them with permanent changes so it was a little too late.

She was conflicted about this, but she knew it was what she should have done before. But her damn pride had been too strong, how could she call herself the goddess of Wisdom like that.

"I have to go, I have things to do."

She lept into the air and turned into a hawk she used to fly away. As for Phobos and Demios they bid their father goodbye and turned into black smoke that rushed into the sky. As for Hestia she stayed a little longer as she looked at Ares.

"You're right Ares."

That was all she said befoe she vanished in a flash of flames leaving the war god alone. He had no real loyalty to his father who honestly treated him like a slave at times and treated his mother like shit. Ares scoffed and spat on the floor.

'Mark, if you go against Zeus, I will be at your side.'

Ares waved his hand and his motercycle appeared from the ground. He hoped on and reved the engine as he drove off at full speed. He had things to do and materials to gather for his new Symbols of power.

This was a chance he would not give up on to get even stronger. And maybe free his mother from her shit husband.

At camp Half Blood, Dyonisus opened his blood shot eyes and grinned. His gambit had paid off and he had raised a Heavenly Dragon in a way or at the very least sped up the growth of one. Now, he had a Heavenly Dragon that owed him a life debt. And he knew two beings to sick Mark at who had been irking him for eons.

'Poseidon and Zeus. Both of you don't deserve to rule.'

Dyonisus crushed his diet coke the only thing he had been drinking for years. A much cruler punishment than it seemed. As the god of Wine, he needed to drink wine to stay strong. Being sober weakened him, and he had been sober for years just because his horny father took a liking to the nymph he liked.

And Poseidon, the father of the hero who hurt his precious wife only kept making more heroes which he hated. And his father who killed his mother when she was pregnent with him. And he had not forgotten that so far.

So many reasons for a rebellion boilling in his mind. And he was not the only one.

---

In the Underworld, Hades began to assemble an army of he dead and his Grim Reapers. He had not forgotten how Zeus had murdered his mortal lover and forced him to hide his Demigod children. He may be the strongest of them, but he was bound by Divine Law and a pact to not attack his brothers or directly protect either of his children.

A crule god he may be, but a father he still was. And Hades had not forgoten that shame. All this time scheming to break past them had begun to show fruit. Mark could be the key to help him get his revenge against his youngest brother who dared not give him a throne on Olympus or a Cabin at camp.

'How fucking dare he? That brat will learn my wrath very soon.'

At the top of Mount Othrys, Atlas held up the sky in silence. However, he looked up when a silver haired man stood infront of him.

"Yo, want a hand with that?"

Atlas squinted his eyes as he looked at the silver haired Devil.

"You."

Rizevim Livan Lucifer nodded.

"Yes, me, him, that guy. I heard how you Titans were raging to rise up again, and how your attempts were snufffed out by a dragon? Well, that is no fun, so why not join up with us. The Chaos Brigade, so many factions are stirring so why not join as one.

You want to bring back Kronus back right? Well, this is a chance for you. Work with us, and you can fight your revenge war or whatever."

Atlas grinned.

"Really now? Where do I sign?"

Rizevim laughed.

"No need for any pen and paper. Just do what you want to do Atlas. Let me get you out of there, shall I?"

---

Meanwhile, in Tarturus, the monsters, continued to gather the body parts of Kronus one after the other. The Titans who had already been freed searched for a new host for Kronus and they had just found one. One even better than Luke to keep thier master together as his scythe did a number on him.

But they either had to get back the Symbol of Power of Kronus which was not happening or make him a new one. For that they had been gathering material and had another volcano ready to start. As for the one responsible, Mark appeared inside his regular house.

He did not want to sleep or train right now and he just wanted to spend a few days relaxing. He also was going to talk to Hephestaus and he had some things he waned to test out with his blood.
