Chapter 750 - Wait A Moment
-----
Cronos, the Titan God of Time which Hades had defeated with the help of Zeus and Poseidon on his original world had somehow come back to life in front of everybody. How come this was even possible to begin with? And why was he part of the Emperor's group? Was he… a part of their original self too?!
"W-What… Father… How are you still alive?! We killed you!" Roared Hades, pointing a blade made of bones and covered in phantasmal flames at Cronos, who smirked wickedly back at his son. His hatred grew larger as he saw the one that slain him.
"Hades, you're a foolish child! Do you truly believe I would die by what you did to me? I am a being of a greater strength than you and your siblings… I have recovered back my powers after devouring the last fragments of your own body and your two siblings. You've missed all the fun." Said Cronos. He had somehow survived as a piece of soul, traveled back to Earth, and managed to regain his powers by devouring the fragments of Hades and also… Zeus and Poseidon?!
"You… you devoured Zeus and Poseidon?!" Asked Hades.
"Their power rushes through my body now. Lightning and the Oceans obey my will, and Death as well! My time power shad been weakened severely, but having all three of your powers is not bad at all… I was in the middle of taking over Olympus but I was summoned here. What a pity, we'll do it later I suppose." Laughed Cronos, as Hades continued to grow furious.
"You… YOU BASTARD!!!" Roared Hades, as Frank calmed him down.
"Hades, you cannot recklessly charge at them yet!" Said Frank.
"Frank… Tch! How can we even beat Cronos now that he has all three of us siblings powers?!" Sighed Hades.
As Hades was desperately trying to make reason of what was happening, the fifth figure appeared, the last of them, a man made of spiraling obscurity and dark essence, originating from Earth, he had just crossed through the gate from Earth after wreaking havoc in
"Ahhh… I like that look of despair in your faces. Fits you well…"
The last one was… a being made of darkness. The one that Frank had never met but that somehow could recognize immediately. The one behind the Chaos Gate and also behind all the atrocities it has been doing across the world of Earth. It was the one that had been slaying the Japanese Gods and their mythical creatures for nefarious purposes… The very one that had been wanting to take down the Clans.
"Aren't you surprised? I am the one that ended failing to acquire the Source, which ended falling into your hands, Frank." Sighed the man made of darkness. "It is truly a pity that things ended that way but well… at the end, my other self here did everything for me. I feel a bit useless but don't worry, as of now we'll begin to pour a lot of wild monsters all over Earth. I am sure your friends there will have a lot of fun dealing with them."
"Y-You're the one behind the Chaos Gate?" Asked Frank. The revelations shown today were constantly shocking him, but he couldn't help but feel relieved every god damn bastard was gathered here… He would be able to take them down all at once.
"Of course, it was me! Bingo! It is a damn pity that I wasn't able to get the core of the planet to shatter yet, you're such a nuisance…" Sighed the entity. "You can call me Chaos for all I care."
"So? What's your big plan? Fusing the planets? For what stupid purpose? And weren't you going to merge together? Why are you just standing there without doing nothing but speaking?" Asked Frank rather pissed.
The five suddenly fell into silence and looked one another while raising an eyebrow.
"Wait… Weren't you fusing into ME?" Asked the Vampire God. "I was wondering the same, why are you waiting so much?" The Vampire God words resonated across the heaven and earth, as the other four looked at him strangely.
"What? No, no, no, you're all fusing into ME!" Said Chaos, as he crossed his arms. "Didn't we discuss this earlier? I am the smartest of all you idiots anyways as I retain the memories most important to acquire cosmic powers." Chaos said as he seemed to only alienate the others more.
"You fools, as a King, it is my duty to take the responsibility and the burden of being the one all of you fuse into." Said King Arthur. "I am the only chosen one and the Hero King, I am destined for greatness and my war tactics and territory management have no equals. I will become the base body."
"Hmph! I am a GOD! No, a Titan God, the father of Gods themselves! Do you truly believe I am going to fuse with you guys and give up my personality, thoughts, and nature? I might as well die a second time!" Said Cronos. "I didn't worked so hard to get back to where I am right now to give up everything once more, you're all fusing with me. If you do I'll awaken time powers once more as well, and we can defeat the child of that man quickly."
The Emperor was left speechless, he never expected that the other four pieces of his soul would be so selfish and self-centered to the point that they rejected fusing with others in fear they would lose their personalities, minds, natures, and egos! He was also like them at the end though, as he also wanted them to fuse into him for the same reason, which only left him more speechless.
And because they were so stubborn, prideful, and more due to the nature of how they came to be and grew stronger in their worlds, it seemed hopeless to negotiate this… His face quickly changed from cocky to… rather desperate.
