Chapter 52 I'm Back!
The world is very large, but very small to the gods.

Why not wander in the chaos and explore a wider world?

Go to...the world and the world that really belong to you...

Among the mountains, Cronus, the overthrown former god-king, was alone in the mountainside, thinking about this problem alone.

He had a feeling that this issue might be very important to him, so important that if he couldn't think clearly, he would definitely face something more terrible than destruction.

He walked deeper into the mountainside.

Connecting to the deep side of the mountain is a cuboid-shaped passage. The walls on both sides are flat and smooth, and exquisite paintings and treasures are hung or inlaid on it. The mountain wall above the head is full of stars and the beautiful faces of goddesses.

As Cronus moved forward, they receded, as if time passed and never returned.

Cronus remembered how they used to be, they were glamorous, but he didn't know when he stopped paying attention to them, so the paintings were mottled and the treasures were dusty.

At the end of the passage is a deep pool, and there is no road ahead of the deep pool.

Cronus squatted down on the edge of the deep pool, and the calm water was like a mirror, showing the picture of the world.

Since his defeat in the God-King War, he has been hiding in the belly of this mountain, relying on the pool of water to observe the changes in the outside world.

A human village appeared in the pool.

Cronus watched here, and he found that the gods and humans are actually very similar. The gods live in a small world, and humans live in a small village.

They may know a little bit about the outside world, but they are all told by others, imagined and guessed by themselves, and then have a simple concept about the world.But in fact, many people have never stepped out of their villages in their entire lives.

The world is big, but not vast to them.

However, human beings live together to survive, because there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the outside world, and they will face a food crisis, so they must be united in order to have time to look forward to tomorrow.

What is the god for?Kronos asked himself.

He never worries about everything that humans pursue and desire, because he is a god, eternal, and part of the rules, so as long as he wants, he can always get it, it's just a matter of time.

But he still chose to live in this small world like other gods, never thinking of going deep into the chaos to explore the infinite possibilities.

Is it because the chaos is too vast and there are too many unknowns, so I feel afraid, or... because I am lonely, I want to be recognized?
Kronos' eyes became blank, and it was at this time that he ignored the human world in the water mirror and saw his own reflection in the pool.

Reflection is squatting by the edge of the pool, a middle-aged man with a beard and a beard. Although there is no joy or anger on his face, it can make people feel lonely and frustrated.

The so-called phase is born from the heart, nothing more than that.

Kronos laughed: "It turns out that I will also be affected by time, smooth the edges and corners, and completely lose my arrogant and surly self."

"I'm not young anymore."

He stood up, and the image revealed was inexplicably one year older, his palms became rough and callused, and his skin turned slightly dark.

At this moment, there is no shadow of the former god king on his body at all, and he is more like an ordinary mortal on the earth who is diligent in working in the fields.

Rubbing the mountain wall with his fingers, Kronos suddenly remembered two people, his wife Rhea, the goddess of time, and Uriah, the teacher and best friend of the mountain god.

He and his wife Rhea symbolize the two sides of time, and when they are together, they symbolize complete time.

However, they separated in the end, because he was greedy for the supreme power of the God King, and imprisoned the children who would overthrow him in the prophecy, but this action just became a part of promoting the prophecy. Parted ways, with the support of Rhea, was overthrown by the youngest son Zeus.

Since then, Cronus, who was trapped in the belly of the mountain, has no connection with her, and he can't find the feeling he had before.After all, some people are once lost forever.

As for the mountain god Uriah, thinking of him, Cronus's smile became cheerful and seemed a little silly.

It is needless to say that he can still have a mountain of room to move after he is defeated, instead of wasting forever in the bottomless abyss.

As the oldest mountain god, Uriah is really like a mountain, no matter when you look back, he is always there, always taciturn, but always stable and reliable.

……

"The world is very big, but to the gods it is very small."

"Why don't you travel in the chaos and explore a wider world?"

"Go to...the world and the world that really belong to you..."

Cronus didn't want to understand this question, but he seemed to understand it again.

He looked at the pool again, at the human village in the water mirror, but his mentality was completely different.

He... doesn't care anymore.

The bustling faded away, taking away the beautiful scenery and the dust of those charming eyes. The people who stayed in place finally appeared, and could be seen and cared for again.

This is a brand new journey. Things never go bad all the time. It is ups and downs. While recognizing the peaks, we must also admit the lows. In this way, we will not stay in the lows all the time.

Cronus, he wants to return to Mount Olympus, to get back the throne of God King, this is very difficult, but this time, it is not because of "greed", but because of those who still care about him, Voices from those who miss him.

He, Kronos, is back!
The rough palm stretched out to the mountain wall, and the moment the two touched, the time without definite form actually appeared in the present world, flowing like a river on the mountain wall.

The palm dipped into the river, and when it reached out, it was already holding an axe.

【Current Tomahawk】

【Eternal blessing: the blessing from the future to the present, hold it tightly, that is greatness】

[Static time: never damaged, only lost in the ripples of time]

[Deja vu: karmic encounters, all of which are heart-wrenching.When Cronus thinks of it, the Realm Battle Ax will immediately appear in his hands, no matter when and where]

[Throughout the ages: Killing the past now, completely erasing the traces of a person's existence, the real god-killing weapon]

Holding the battle ax tightly, Cronus walked out of the mountain for the first time after the defeat, and saw the scenery of the outside world clearly.

It just so happened that a ray of divine power with spring and new breath was wandering in the night sky in the distance. He stretched out his hand, imprisoned this ray of divine power in his palm, and erased the will mixed with it. He curiously observed the strange authority in the divine power.

"Why haven't I seen it before? Is there a new god and authority?"

……

At the same time, in a temple deep in Mount Olympus.

Rhea, the mother of the current God King Zeus, the Goddess of Time, was inexplicably horrified.

Without the slightest sign, she had already fallen from her powerful divine power, and her glory was no longer...
