"..."
Zeus and Metis silently stared at each other.
At this moment, the couple who once teamed up to handle almost everything now found themselves enveloped in silence.
"Hehehe~~~"
Zeus calmly said, "Metis, is there nothing you want to say to me?"
Metis nodded, then shook her head. After a brief silence, she finally spoke, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I should say. Everything is already laid out in front of us, and no one can truly predict the outcome."
Indeed!
Metis and Prometheus seemed to have prepared everything, but could they really guarantee victory?
Obviously not!
Neither of them, nor anyone else, could have such certainty.
This was the undeniable truth.
They were facing Zeus, one of the three God-Kings!
Who could confidently claim to be able to devour such an invincible God-King?
Clearly, it was nearly impossible, and the result was something that didn't need much explanation.
"Let's begin."
Zeus no longer wasted words and simply turned his gaze to Prometheus. His intentions were clear—there was no need for further discussion; they could start.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Prometheus, standing nearby, respectfully lowered his head. He knew exactly what needed to be done.
In fact, in Prometheus' plan, he needed to guide Zeus' divine soul, divine power, and everything else into Apollo's body, and then strip Apollo of his Sun God and God of Light powers.
From that moment on, Zeus would completely take over Abel's essence, transforming from the God of Thunder into the true Sun God.
Yes!
Neither Abel nor Apollo were complete Sun Gods.
They each represented a part of the Sun God, which is why, in the original myth, when Abel was erased from mythology and his Sun God authority stripped away, Apollo inherited the divine power to become a God-King after Zeus departed.
Because Apollo had inherited Abel's authority and status as a God-King, he gained the qualification and position.
This was a perfectly logical event.
And precisely because of this, Prometheus' plan was to follow this logic. The plan wouldn't change.
However!
During this process, Abel would completely replace Zeus, and Zeus was fully aware of their intentions.
Yet, Zeus felt no fear at all. Since they wanted to try, then let them try. In the end, who would win this war? Would it be them, or would the outcome be his victory?
All of it!
It was laid out right there, unchangeable. Let them try and see what the final result would be, for it was destined.
Zeus vs. Abel.
Father and son.
The third-generation God-King versus the fourth-generation God-King.
Who would be the final victor?
No one knew!
This was something no one could determine. No one knew who the ultimate victor would be, but now, everything was coming to a head.
"..."
No one had the right to speak further, and with the birth of Apollo, the process had begun.
At this moment, as Zeus acted, Apollo's divine power began to be stripped away.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Zeus' divine soul and power began to float outward, leaving his divine body as an empty shell.
Zeus had begun to completely devour Apollo, and as Apollo was consumed, everything was about to truly begin. Zeus' divine power gradually moved toward Abel, but what would happen next was unclear.
In any case, at this moment, Zeus had taken the final step, and this final step marked the true beginning.
"..."
Metis and Prometheus remained silent.
However, the two gods conjured vast amounts of divine power, which surged into Abel's divine body.
"Ah!"
Abel let out a crazed roar, his body twisting and struggling violently as if on the verge of collapse and madness.
His eyes burned with terrifying flames.
The divine power was so overwhelming, nearly equivalent to the power of a God-King. Ordinarily, if a god tried to absorb such a vast amount of power all at once, there would only be one outcome—self-destruction. There would be no other result.
In such a situation, what would happen next?
Obviously!
It was hard to say, or rather, it couldn't be predicted.
The divine power and laws belonging to Apollo that Zeus carried had begun to be absorbed by Abel because these were originally Abel's to begin with.
In fact!
From a certain perspective, the fourth-generation God-King wasn't just Abel and Athena, but also Apollo. Or rather, Apollo was an implicit fourth-generation God-King.
Only with Abel's death would Apollo fully inherit the God-King's authority, divine power, and laws, finally becoming a God-King.
Conversely, with Apollo's death and Abel's full absorption of his power, Abel would ascend to an unimaginably terrifying level.
Without a doubt!
This was the undeniable truth!
Because of this, when everything was laid out like this, one could truly understand the terrifying power Abel now possessed.
At this moment!
Within Abel's divine body, his divine soul and Zeus' divine soul—the father and son—had begun to clash and fiercely collide.
And this clash was just beginning. Or rather, everything was about to start—the battle between father and son.
What would be the final outcome?
It was hard to say!
Under normal circumstances, Abel was almost certainly doomed to lose. However, the preparations made by Metis and Prometheus had introduced massive changes, and this change wasn't over yet. The final curtain had not yet fallen.
