Just as Typhon was utterly bewildered by Ares's "Cadmus" avatar, in front of Typhon's cave, Ares's divine power avatar suddenly noticed a surge of magical fluctuations emanating from the Goddess of Wisdom, who had been standing beside him.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a golden light struggling to emerge from the goddess's back, then transforming into a sparrow, quietly flapping its wings, and flying towards the cave.
Ares's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood Athena's reason for deliberately allowing Typhon to capture her.
Inside that cave, not only were Ares's armaments and chariot, but in the innermost crevice, Zeus's divine lightning was also hidden. Although at present only Zeus could use this divine lightning, if Athena had a way to break through the divine lightning's usage restrictions, then she would be formidable.
If Athena had the divine lightning in hand, even if the remaining eleven of the current Olympus Twelve Main Gods were tied up, they wouldn't be able to defeat her. At that time, she would become the rightful Queen of Olympus, and those like Ares, who constantly annoyed her, would likely die a more gruesome death than anyone else.
So Ares directly shouted:
"Hydra! Look! Your mom is running away!"
Hydra straightened up at the sound, turned its head, and saw Athena, who had already transformed into a sparrow and was about to fly into the cave. So it roared, and its other eight heads simultaneously spewed out highly toxic clouds, sealing the cave entrance, while simultaneously pouncing towards Athena, shouting as it pounced:
"Mom, don't run!"
As the direct descendant of Typhon, the Father of All Demons, Hydra's venom was terrifying, and even the gods were not immune. Chiron, as a half-brother to Zeus's brothers, was actually a third-generation god of the same generation as Zeus, but even he could not endure Hydra's venom and eventually had to surrender his immortality to find release.
From this, one can imagine how terrifying Hydra's venom truly was.
So upon seeing the poisonous clouds seal the cave, the sparrow Athena had transformed into also stopped. She flipped over from mid-air, returned to her original form, first glaring hatefully at Ares, then flipping her hand to retrieve the aegis, and while pushing towards Hydra, sho
uted:
"Who's your mom?! Get lost!"
With a muffled thud, Hydra's massive body was directly pushed back by Athena using the aegis. The divine powers of the god and the beast clashed violently, transforming into a fierce shockwave that exploded at the cave entrance, leaving the wedding venue Typhon had prepared in advance in a complete mes
"I'll help you!"
Seeing this, Ares also rushed towards Athena, shouting.
Hydra looked at Ares with some emotion, only to see Ares shouting while running past both it and Athena without looking back, then bypassing them, treating the Hydra's venom at the entrance as nothing, and diving into the cave without a backward glance.
Hydra froze for a moment, then let out a piercing shriek:
"Ares, you tricked me!"
But its roar was not heeded by the God of War. Relying on the characteristics of his divine power avatar, Ares directly ignored the mists, which were highly toxic to living beings. He ran into the cave, collected or donned all his armaments, then went directly to the innermost crevice, reached out, and pulled out Zeus's divine lightning.
As Zeus's son, Ares could also use a little of the divine lightning's power, but he swung it twice and felt that this power was not as strong as his Flame Sword. It seemed that to truly wield this weapon, he still needed the recognition of the God King.
So, he held the weapon in his hand, turned, and rushed out of the cave.
…
"Hmm?!"
The commotion caused by Athena's clash with Hydra also drew the attention of Typhon in the distance. The latter, sensing the divine power fluctuations in front of his cave, immediately stood up and reached for "Cadmus" on the ground.
"Let's go."
He directly transformed into a black wind and arrived in front of the cave, immediately seeing his daughter, Hydra, being jointly beaten by his intended wife, Athena, and intended son-in-law, Ares. Ares was also wielding his Flame Sword, and the flames Entanglement ing the blade filled Hydra with fear. These flames could suppress Hydra's immortality, and any head severed by it could not regenerate for a period, causing the snake monster to shriek and retreat.
Seeing this scene, Typhon was furious. He casually threw "Cadmus" aside, exerted force throughout his body, directly bursting his tight ceremonial attire, and then roared:
"Ares! You dare to play me?"
With a furious roar, Typhon, the Father of All Demons, grew larger with the wind, quickly reaching a height that touched the heavens. Then, he gently lifted his foot and kicked both Ares and Athena, two Main Gods, directly away.
Even with the aegis for cover, the God of War and the Goddess of Wisdom couldn't help but spit out blood. Of course, Ares's divine power avatar actually had no divine blood, but for the sake of the act, he had stored some of the blood he cut from his hand within the divine power avatar, specifically for such moments.
The two Main Gods rolled into a ball and then crashed with a thud against the mountain wall next to the cave, causing that section of the wall to collapse. Seeing this, Typhon sneered, then reached towards the mountain wall and whispered:
"You've angered me, Ares. There's no place for you among the new gods. I will tear you apart!"
But just as he reached out, Ares, embedded in the mountain wall, suddenly struggled to pull out a shining thunderbolt from behind him and threw it into the distance.
As the thunderbolt flew from his hand, Ares shouted:
"Zeus! Catch the lightning!"
"Not good!"
Hearing Ares's voice, Typhon was startled and quickly bent down, trying to block the lightning. However, his current size was too large. Even though his movements were already more agile than all the Titan giants, he still couldn't prevent the lightning from being caught by a strong arm.
As the lightning fell into his palm, the hooded robe on the old man also fell, revealing his majestic stature and dignified face. He rose into the air, lightning flashing in his eyes, his white beard and hair floating in the wind. Along with this might, dark clouds gathered between heaven and earth, and the light of thunder reappeared in the sky.
Afterward, "Cadmus," the young man whom Typhon had abducted and made his musician on the ground, also threw out Zeus's sinews that Typhon had just given him. These sinews directly transformed into golden light and entered the God King's body, allowing him to fully recover to his peak form.
"Typhon!" The King of Gods hovered in the air, radiating divine majesty, unassailable and inviolable. He clenched the lightning, his voice rumbling like thunder in the sky:
"Accept the judgment of the gods!"
