Chapter 477 - 477

"Wait—"

Natasha was stunned. She instinctively reached out to stop him, only to see the man rush to the bar's entrance and thensoarinto the sky.

...

—Meanwhile, in the Sky—

As Hercules flew, he reflected on his past fifteen days on Earth.

Honestly, he had grownquitefond of the planet. Once this business was finished, he was seriously considering staying here long-term.

And during these past days, one person, in particular, had caught his attention—

White Cloak!

He had seen the footage of White Cloak'sassaulton the research facility and had beenshocked.

After some investigation, he learned that White Cloak was once considered Messiah's equal—until Messiah awakened as anUltra-Omega Mutantand surpassed him.

"Reality-warping abilities, huh?"

Hercules pondered.

"If Zeus knew about White Cloak, he'd probably invite him too."

Though not as powerful as Messiah, hisimpossibleabilities were more than enough to warrant interest.

With that thought, Hercules retrieved his enchantedseeker's compassand began searching for Messiah.

Soon, he arrived at the designated meeting spot.

Seeing the black-clad youth standing there, Hercules grinned. "Long time no see, Messiah."

Syd gave a slight nod. "Let's go."

At that, Hercules pulled out Zeus's artifact—a golden lightning bolt.

"Grab my hand," he said. "I'll use this artifact to take us—"

Syd, however, knew that this artifact could alsoteleport, as shown inThor: Love and Thunder.

Though not as renowned or versatile as Asgard's Bifrost, itworked.

But instead of responding, Syd simply closed his eyes, picturingOmniscient Cityin his mind.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he activatedspatial translocationcombined with aportal spell.

With a clear image of the destination, a glowing portal materialized before them—leading directly toOmniscient City.

"... What?"

Hercules, still holding his golden lightning bolt, froze.

Before he could react, Syd stepped inside. Hercules quickly followed.

...

—Inside Omniscient City—

Hercules wasstunned. "This is... Omniscient City?"

He turned to Messiah, his face full of disbelief.

"How does Messiah know the exact location of Omniscient City?"

"And how in the world did he open a portal that spans such an immense distance?"

Hercules couldn't comprehend it.

Meanwhile, Syd calmly strode through the city's corridors, taking in his surroundings.

...

—Observing Omniscient City—

Clouds surrounded the vast cityscape, and beyond them lay anendlessstarry expanse.

It was clear—Omniscient Cityfloated in space.

Above them, acolossal sunhung in the sky, endlessly radiating sunlight over the entire city.

This meant one thing—

There was no night here. It was eternallydaylight.

Even now, Syd could feel his bodyabsorbingthe sunlight.

While doing so, he continued to survey the environment.

Omniscient City resembled afloating garden, filled with fountains, waterfalls, exquisite flora, and majestic palaces.

Occasionally, he spotted figures walking by—likelydivine attendants.

"Welcome to Omniscient City," Hercules said with a grin. "Not bad, right?"

"Come on, I'll take you to theGolden Temple—that's where all the gods are gathered."

With that, he led the way.

Soon, they arrived at theGolden Temple'sentrance.

Outside the temple stood amassive golden statue—a depiction of Zeus, wielding his legendary lightning bolt.

Upon entering, Syd noticed theexpansive hallwaysfilled withbrawny guards.

Seated in the vast chamber werenumerous gods.

"This is theGolden Temple," Hercules explained. "It's the gathering place for gods from across the universe."

"Look over there."

He pointed to a distant table. "That's theGod of Magic. And over there—that's... uh... theGod of Dumplings."

Syd followed his gaze and saw a small white dumpling... sitting on a giantspoon.

Scanning the chamber, he identified several gods—some unfamiliar, some vaguely recognizable, such as deities from theEgyptian pantheon.

Hercules led him to a seating area.

As soon as they sat down, a young man wearing winged sandals approached.

"You're Messiah?"

It was Hermes—one of the Twelve Olympians.

"Messiah, I've heard that your power rivals that of the Celestials?" Hermes asked in awe.

"How did you manage that? Those are theCelestials! You actuallydrove them back?!"

His face was full of shock, as if he could hardly believe it.

At his words, the other gods—who had initially ignored Syd—suddenly turned their attention toward him.

In mere moments, theyrecognizedthe black-clad figure before them.

The one who hadrepelled the Celestialsin Earth's orbit.

Instantly, the hall fellsilent.

The gazes fixed on him were now filled withreverenceandawe.

...

—At That Moment... —

A large cluster of white clouds floated down from above.

Hercules'sgolden lightning boltsoared into the clouds, triggering a cascade ofgolden lightning.

The next second, a man emerged—wielding agolden lightning bolt, clad ingolden battle armor, with ahead full of curly hair.

—Zeus! —

As theking of godsdescended, the seated deities erupted in chants of his name.

Yet, as Sydstaredat the portly, middle-aged man before him, he... had to suppress atwitch in his eye.

"This... is Zeus?"

Frankly, he lookedmorelike a retired old man than aking of the gods.

This was, without a doubt, theworstdepiction of Zeus Syd hadeverseen.

...

—On the Elevated Throne—

Listening to the chants of his name, Zeussmirkedin satisfaction.

Afterflourishinghis golden lightning bolt for a moment, he cleared his throat.

"I hereby convene..."

"The sacred assembly of gods!"

"We have many serious topics to discuss, such as..."

Just as the gods prepared for asolemn discussion, Zeus suddenlyswitched tones.

"... where this year'sgiant orgywill be held."

Syd's eyetwitched again.

...

—Meanwhile... —

As Zeus rambled on, Syd overheard some gods conversing in the distance.

"Have you heard? Asgard was recentlyattacked, and something was stolen."

"Asgard? You mean that place thatneversends anyone to these gatherings?"

"What was taken?"

"Some kind ofaxe..."

Hearing this, Syd's brow immediately furrowed.

"Stormbreaker?"

The weapon capable of unleashingBifrost energy?

Instantly, Syd's focus sharpened.
