Chapter 371: Snatching the Sun God, Qutuosi's Strong Light Flashlight, Capturing Athena

The giant before Qutuosi was none other than Gaia, Mother of Earth; at this moment her body was utterly shattered, and even her hands were only connected by a few vines.

"Spartan, you actually aren't dead—looks like Kronos's bloodline still has some use; hurry and help me, Qutuosi, I've suffered grave wounds." Gaia immediately pleaded for aid from Qutuosi.

"Help you?" Qutuzi showed a faint cold smile.

When fighting Bosedong, if it weren't for you dragging me down, I would have already killed him; every time I was enjoying the fight most, I still had to pull away to help you.

Those who don't know thought I teamed up with you to take down Bosedong, but in fact I could handle him alone; Gaia is nothing but a burden, needing rescue multiple times.

"Listening to Qutuosi, I'm in agony; I tried to rejoin the battle, but—"

"It just had to be not me, right?" Qutuosi let out a cold laugh.

Drawing his Exile Blade, he rushed to Gaia's massive severed hand; his Chaos Blade swung wildly, chopping through the tree roots of Gaia's arm, exposing the bone within—a huge skeleton flashing with golden light.

This is Gaia, Mother of Earth's body—Titan bone; nothing can harm it except the Olympus Holy Sword.

"Qutuosi! Don't you need our Titans' help? Do you plan to take on the Olympus gods alone?" Gaia said anxiously.

"Your usefulness is at an end, Gaia—nothing more." Qutuosi said with a cold laugh.

"But I must deal with Zeus; the Titan gods must capture Olympus."

"No! This is my war, not yours." Qutuosi shouted loudly.

I've always been the one using others; never before have I let anyone use me while leading you to attack Mount Olympus—and you actually dared to betray me, so don't blame me for being ruthless.

Qutuosi's hands burst with blue light, directly activating the Spartan Path; he raised the Olympus Holy Sword and thrust it at Gaia's bone.

With a boom, Gaia's entire arm was severed; after letting out a wail, the Mother of Earth fell once more from Mount Olympus, plunging into the abyss.

Qutuosi merely snorted, shoved her remaining severed hand off the cliff, then pressed onward.

Luode, hiding nearby, laughed and shook his head: "This Qutuosi's personality is literally 'revenge must be taken'—he doesn't even wait overnight. After tossing Gaia, Mother of Earth, onto Mount Olympus, Qutuosi continued forward, soon storming the gates of Olympus and entering the palace.

At this moment, Olympus trembled under the Titans' assault; the sun god Helios drove his chariot, constantly attacking his own father, the fire Titan Hyperion, in the sky.

"Don't meddle, Spartan!" Helios, driving the sun chariot, flew past Qutuosi and warned.

Now the main opponent of the Olympian gods is the Titans; having just seen Qutuosi strike down Gaia, Mother of Earth, he prefers to have one less enemy, and he must focus on dealing with his own father.

Gazing at the sun god before him, Qutuosi let out a cold laugh, turned to a massive ballista nearby, cleared away a few monsters, aimed the ballista at the sun god, and fired.

A violent roar burst in the sky; the sun god's chariot was hit, and the Titan giant Hyperion seized the chance, slamming his palm onto his own son without mercy.

It seems these Greek gods frequently engage in patricidal strife; these Titan giants are also quite bizarre—though they belong to the same race, their offspring turn out to be the weaker Olympian gods.

Although they are more handsome in appearance, compared to their forebears' savage divine power, they still fall far short.

After being heavily struck by his father Hyperion, the sun god's body plummeted straight onto the square.

Qutuosi snorted, drew his Exile Blade, and prepared to move in to reap the sun god's life.

But obviously a certain "old six" was tailing him, even faster—after all, Qutuzi, you can't fly! That's your biggest weakness; those Icarus-wings of yours can only glide a bit, so you might as well climb stairs slowly. Luode pondered a moment, produced some transforming leaves, then turned them into puppets, intending to have these puppet soldiers slightly obstruct Qutuosi's advance, buying himself ample time to deal with the sun god.

At this moment, the sun god Helios looked utterly miserable—his legs were broken by his own father, and his sun chariot exploded.

"Cough cough! Who are you? An unknown god? Help me, help me—I am the sun god of this land; we are suffering an invasion by a band of demons.

"If you're willing to help us, you'll gain the friendship of the Olympian gods." Upon seeing Luode, the sun god Helios seemed to have spotted a savior and spoke.

"You say those guys are demons? They shouldn't be the parents of your Olympian gods, right? The one who just beat you to a pulp must be your father Hyperion—don't think I don't know what's going on here." Luode snorted and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the sun god gritted his teeth; at that moment, a group of shield-bearing soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountaintop, then gathered protectively before him.

But just as they had gathered, a green wave of light erupted from Luode's palm, instantly smashing those soldiers to pieces.

"What are you trying to do? If you dare harm me, Zeus won't let you off."

"Zeus! Hahaha, how funny—he ought to look after himself first!" Luode laughed, seized the sun god, and flung him straight into his private space.

Before leaving, Luode produced a strong-light flashlight and tossed it to the ground—this certainly wasn't something bought from the Marvel world.

Rather, he had specifically asked the fire god to forge it, and had infused it with some solar power; it should be able to substitute for a certain sun god's head.

After doing all that, Luode nodded in satisfaction, then entered his own private space as well.

"Master! I sense this guy; he possesses an unimaginable energy that would be of great help to me, to me." Helios looked at the sun god before him, his face lit with excitement.

"Hahaha! That's what I prepared for you—he is this world's sun god; now devour him, absorb all his solar power completely, and you'll become a true sun god." Luode said.

"No, you can't do that—I am the sun; if I die, this world will lose its light." Helios cried out in terror.

"What does it matter to me if your world loses light?" Luode snorted, then tossed the sun god in his hand over to his Homies' Creation.

Helios' surrounding flames began to swell violently, instantly gulping down the sun god; after being swallowed, the sun god emitted a series of anguished cries.

Immediately thereafter, his entire body was incinerated to ash by the extreme neutron-star fire and the eternal fire, after the sun god had been devoured.

Helios' body emitted a red-white glow, and divine power began to gestate within him—the very radiance and might of a sun god.

"Excellent! Helios! Just like that—keep absorbing the sun god's power; soon I'll have you soak up the Olympus Holy Fire." Luode nodded satisfactorily, then left his private space.

At that moment outside, Qutuosi, who had just climbed to the summit, had a face ashen to the extreme; he had clearly seen the sun god fall here just moments before.

But upon arrival he found no one, only traces of battle and a strange black circular object on the ground.

Just then there were several green hulks, a few hammer-wielders, even a club-wielder entangling him; after Qutuosi disposed of them, they turned into leaves.

Little did he expect that, upon arriving, his spoil—the sun god—would be snatched away by someone else.

"Zeus! Was it you again? I see how many you can save—I'll slaughter every last Olympian god, not leaving a single one." Qutuosi let out a earth-shaking roar, then picked up the strong-light flashlight from the ground and departed.

Just then Athena informed him via divine sense that this oddly shaped object contained the sun god's power and could illuminate some paths he couldn't see, so he should still carry it.

Luode, hiding nearby, kept chuckling: "Hahaha! Qutuosi, keep on hunting—anyway, I'll just trail behind you and pick up the spoils."

"This time we should reap plenty of divine corpses!" "That Spartan is truly a complete fool, always being used." At that moment a voice sounded in Luode's ear.

"Looks like the goddess Athena has already spotted me! I thought my disguise could hide me a bit longer." Luode chuckled, turned his head toward Athena, who existed as a spirit.

"Your mindset may be lofty, but you shouldn't show up before me! Athena, what gives you the confidence to appear before me? You are now a soul, and souls are restrained by my special ability."

"What is your purpose, foreign god-king? Do you intend to invade the Olympus divine system?"

"I tell you, although we are in the midst of a great war, as soon as either side detects you, this foreign invader, they will unite to oppose you." Athena spoke.

He still has that confidence; now the leaders of both sides, Qutuosi and Gaia, simply haven't noticed each other—but once they do, upon discovering this foreign god-king, the two will surely turn their guns and aim straight at Luode.

"Goddess Yatianna, I previously kept your divine body as my collection, and now I intend to also keep your soul as a collection." Luode said.

"Wait, is my divine body still here? You collected my divine body?" Yatianna's soul exclaimed in surprise.

After one's soul has completely departed, logically speaking, one's body should quickly dissipate; if one wishes to prevent the body from dissipating, one must supplement it with a tremendous amount of life energy.

Moreover, this foreign god king indeed possesses unimaginable life energy, and also has a power that Yatianna cannot describe, filled with destruction and evil.

Return my body to me, then leave our realm, foreign god king; otherwise, you will face the wrath of all Olympus.

Luode's lips curled into a faint smile as he extended his palm, aiming at Yatianna, to ensure his Homiez creation could fully inherit the sun god's power.

So I didn't even bother to extract the sun god's soul, but Yatianna, your soul—I'll gladly take it.

The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit activated, and with Luode's life force bolstering it, it quickly captured Yatianna's soul; she is now in a very high-grade state.

Even by his own understanding, it surpassed the Olympian gods, yet facing Luode she met her nemesis and had no power to resist.

No! No! What, what power is this? You, why can you capture my soul? This is impossible. Feeling her body immobilized, even her whole person began to be captured by Luode, Yatianna was utterly shocked.

Even Hades couldn't capture one's own soul; this foreign god king, why does he have such immense soul power? "Spartan, quick! Come save me!" Yatianna immediately called out for help to her tool, Qutuosi.

Don't waste your efforts, Miss Yatianna; I've already sealed off the surrounding space, your voice can't get out." Luode gave a cold laugh, increased force with both hands, and began compressing Yatianna's soul into a sphere.

No! No! Don't kill me, please don't kill me, foreign god king, I, I can submit to you." The soul of Yatianna, compressed into an energy ball by Luode, spoke.

Full of confidence, I came over, but was instantly dealt with—this gap is too huge.

Hehe! You want to ally with me? We'll see how you perform later; for now, just stay put obediently." Luode sealed Yatianna's soul energy into a container and then placed it into his private space.

Now it's fine; Qutuosi's narration has become my spoils of war.

On the other side, Qutuosi also fought his way through, first killing the divine messenger Hermes, then defeating the strong god Hercules; Luode followed behind and also picked up two god corpses.

Although Hercules is not one of the Twelve Main Gods, in terms of combat power he is hardly inferior to them, and indeed stronger than many of them.

This is truly a genuine ancient Greek hero; the strong god's body, Luode also carefully collected it. Although his face had been smashed by Grandpa Qutu.

However, the divine messenger Hermes, Luode was somewhat disappointed.

In Luode's view, aside from that Olympian divine power and being a fast runner, he's good for nothing—only fit to be fodder for his Ten-Tail Dangdang.

When Qutuosi fought Hercules, Luode also secretly used his power to imbue this gauntlet with a soul, turning it into the third 'two-five' among Qutuosi's many weapons, lurking by his side.

After defeating Hercules, Qutuosi finally arrived at Bosedong's palace, and without any pity, he treated Bosedong's princess extremely cruelly as a humanoid ornament, blocking the sliding door.

Baldy, you're really wasting a treasure! This delicate beauty, you say kill and you kill—couldn't you just toss in an ordinary little monster to jam it?" Luode couldn't help but complain.

Soon Qutuosi arrived at the Love God's palace, but the Love God had long vanished, even his few attendants were gone, the whole hall empty.

Qutuosi didn't linger long here; he found the hidden Haebolion Gate. After passing through it, he returned to the domain of the Fire God and Festos.

Oh, you're back, Qutuosi—how's the progress?" Hephaestus set down his hammer and asked.

I have seen the Olympian Sacred Fire; it is kept in the central palace of Olympus, and there is also Pandora's Box; Yatianna told me some things.

As you said, as long as I find the Olympian Sacred Fire, you will tell me the monster's hiding place; I will dig it out and then extinguish the Olympian Sacred Fire.

Of course, but before that you need to do some preparations; you need a new weapon to continue forward." Hephaestus chuckled.

I have my own weapon.

Believe me, this weapon won't disappoint you; it contains some lightning power—you must wield it to go to Hera's garden and then enter Zeus's palace." Hephaestus said.

How do I forge this new weapon?

Simple! Go through that gate, enter the unknown Chaos Land, then bring back the Umbilical Stone for me—that's the material for forging your weapon." Hephaestus waved his hand.

He opened the north door of his room; that place is a barren Chaos Land, also where Zeus exiled his father, Titan Kronos.

Qutuosi said nothing, turned and walked toward the Chaos Land to seek the materials the Fire God needed.

After Qutuosi left, Luode also appeared in the Fire God's palace.

Lord Luode, following your orders, I have already led that Spartan to Kronos's side.

Lord Luode, are you sure that Spartan can really kill a Titan? After all, he is Zeus's father." The Fire God asked.

Hahaha! Believe me, he will kill his own grandfather." (End of chapter)
