Su-ho curled the corner of his mouth up after cutting Hades’s ankle.

“My son, how long did you think you could stay free just trusting in that one helm?”

“Gghhhh...... you damn bastard......!”

“Look at the way this brat talks to his father. This won’t do. You need to be disciplined.”

Su-ho used one more skill on Hades’s bleeding ankle.

[ Corruption Sorcery activates. ]

It was Corruption Sorcery.

The moment Corruption Sorcery activated, the mark of corruption instantly spread through Hades and began to crawl over his entire body, and as soon as Su-ho spread the corruption, he grabbed Hades, spun him around, and hurled him off somewhere on Mount Othrys where seawater was overflowing.

Splash!

“Brotheeeer!!”

“Youngest, how long are you going to do nothing but shout?”

He threw Guiyeong at the shouting Zeus.

The thrown Guiyeong flew toward Zeus, then transformed into a beast and bared sharp teeth right in front of him.

“How dare {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} a lowly wretch like you!!”

[ Zeus uses Astrafe. ]

Pajijijijijit!!

As expected of Astrafe.

The damage is vicious.

The lightning Astrafe spat out swallowed Guiyeong in an instant, and Guiyeong took a deep critical hit.

Su-ho immediately used Shadow Movement to swap positions with Guiyeong, then reverse-summoned Guiyeong.

Seeing that, Zeus spun his spear and charged at Su-ho.

“Die!!”

Kaaang!!

However, Astrafe couldn’t reach Su-ho.

Because the blood sword blocked him.

A massive energy explosion went off.

But neither of them was pushed back.

Su-ho narrowed the distance between their faces through the crossed weapons, stared Zeus straight in the eye, and grinned.

“Wow...... our youngest. You’ve got even more strength than I thought?”

“Shut up!!”

[ Zeus uses Wrath of the Sky. ]

Instead of answering, he raised Astrafe.

Then the sky rumbled, and the powerful thunderstorm Su-ho had seen before began to bare its teeth.

Su-ho looked up at the sky and said,

“Kid, you’re always throwing lightning. Keep that up and you’re going to get punished hard.”

“Die!!”

Kkwagagagagagagaga!!

Lightning fell.

At that moment, Su-ho snapped his fingers.

[ Saint Dome activates. ]

A huge circular barrier formed around Su-ho and began protecting him from the falling lightning.

“......!”

Zeus’s eyes widened.

He hadn’t expected the lightning that was called the strongest attack in the divine realm to be endured by something that came from his father’s hand.

Su-ho’s lips curled up.

He was enjoying the brat’s reaction.

But he couldn’t just keep enjoying it at leisure.

Saint Dome was indeed Su-ho’s best protection skill, but after seeing Astrafe’s firepower, he had a bad feeling it wouldn’t hold for long.

So Su-ho immediately recalled his blood sword and thrust it toward Zeus.

Of course, this time he didn’t just thrust.

[ One Strike activates. ]

Kwaaaang!!

It’s a thrust.

Then he should show off the Heavy Strike Style he learned before.

Zeus’s eyes widened again at the suddenly strengthened thrust.

Brat, are you surprised?

This is why you shouldn’t show too much from the start.

Information is better the more you hide it.

In that sense, to start out, he would probe him with the first form of Heavy Strike Style—One Strike.

However, Zeus stopped at being a little startled, immediately knocked Su-ho’s sword aside, and swung Astrafe again to spew lightning.

Pajijijijit!

Saint Dome is unstable.

So One Strike isn’t enough, huh.

Su-ho immediately chained into the second attack.

[ Ten Strike activates. ]

As the skill activated, condensed energy loaded into the tip of the blade.

Zeus also didn’t repeat the same attack and activated a skill.

[ Zeus uses Thunderbolt Strike. ]

Kwaaaang!!

A huge bolt of lightning blasted from the tip of Astrafe and crashed into the tip of Su-ho’s blood sword.

A thunder-like sound roared out, and lightning splashed in all directions.

His fingertips and the skin over his whole body tingled.

But it’s bearable.

At the same time, he could confirm it.

From Ten Strike onward, the brat starts getting pushed back in a strange way.

Then what about the next one?

Su-ho knocked Astrafe aside again and chained into the third attack.

[ Hundred Strike activates. ]

Hundred Strike, the third form of Heavy Strike Style.

If One Strike was one powerful thrust, then Ten Strike was ten thrusts condensed into one, and Hundred Strike was a hundred thrusts condensed into one.

A simple principle, but the power derived from it is never light.

The moment Hundred Strike activated, a dangerous aura whipped up and wrapped around the tip of the blood sword, and sensing it, Zeus also gathered his power once more and drove Astrafe forward.

[ Zeus uses Astrafe. ]

[ Zeus uses Thunderbolt Strike. ]

And then, the instant the two weapons collided—

Kwaaaaaaaaaang!!

An unprecedented explosion rang out over Mount Othrys.

“Wh-what?”

“What was that sound?”

“Don’t tell me Zeus?!”

It was so loud that everyone fighting stopped fighting and turned their heads toward where the sound came from.

And the result was decided at once.

“Gg, gghhhh.......”

Zeus groaned.

Su-ho’s blood sword had pierced straight through Zeus’s solar plexus.

Astrafe had been shattered to pieces.

It had broken because it couldn’t withstand Su-ho’s Hundred Strike.

Pugok!

He shoved the embedded sword even deeper.

Su-ho spoke as if he found it fascinating.

“Who knew the day would come when I’d break Zeus’s lightning.”

“Wh......at?”

“Let’s end this.”

[ Weaken activates. ]

[ Corruption Sorcery activates. ]

With the blade buried deep, Su-ho immediately used Weaken and Corruption Sorcery.

In an instant, Zeus’s body—its power cut in half—had the mark of corruption bore into it, and all kinds of corruption effects began to assault Zeus.

“Ggrrrrk.......”

Foam bubbled from Zeus’s mouth.

Su-ho lifted Zeus as he was and rammed him, along with the blood sword, hard into a nearby wall, pinning him there like a specimen.

“So the Olympian chief gods are all suppressed.......”

And yet no quest completion notification pops up.

Could it be that suppressing them at this level doesn’t count as neutralizing key forces?

No.

At this level, it’s enough.

Then that means there are still key forces left on the Olympian side.

“Poseidon.”

“Yes, Father!”

At Su-ho’s call, Poseidon, who had been causing chaos with seawater on his own, immediately rushed over and answered.

“Who do you think the key forces in your faction are?”

“If you mean key forces, then it’s basically me, Brother Hades, and Zeus, and if I add more...... there are probably the three Hecatoncheires brothers and the three Cyclops brothers.”

“Hecatoncheires and Cyclopes...... ah, now that I think about it, those monster giants were around, huh?”

The three Hecatoncheires brothers were the sons of Uranus and Gaia—colossal gods with fifty heads and a hundred hands—and the three brothers’ names were Cottus, Briareus, and Gyges.

And the three Cyclops brothers were also children born between Uranus and Gaia, characterized by their huge frames and the single eye planted in the center of their faces, and their names were Brontes, meaning thunder, Steropes, meaning lightning, and Arges, meaning thunderbolt.

Sure enough, those guys were key forces worthy of being called that.

After all, since both factions were made up of immortal gods, Titanomachy had lasted for ten years, and it had gotten so bad Gaia had even told them to pull the two sets of three brothers out of Tartarus and fight together as a way to break the balance of the war.

‘And the three Cyclops brothers made the weapons for the three Olympian brothers, right?’

That was when—

“Kuaaaaaah!!”

“Zeus!! Hades!! Poseidon!!”

“Where are you all?!”

“Answer me!!”

“Uooooooh!!”

A booming shout.

When he turned his head, sure enough, since they couldn’t behave like proper gentlemen, the three Hecatoncheires brothers had appeared.

And they say fifty heads and a hundred arms, and the visual really was something.

‘Now I get why Uranus locked those guys up in Tartarus.’

According to myth, Uranus feared the three Hecatoncheires brothers’ power and locked them in Tartarus the moment they were born, and with that visual, it was more than believable.

“Found you!!”

“There you are!”

“I’ll save Zeus and Hades, so you guys kill Cronos!!”

“Got it!!”

Ugh, they’re loud.

It’s not just one or two mouths, it’s fifty.

And there are three of them, so that’s one hundred and fifty, and since they’re all saying the same thing at the same time, it feels like his eardrums are going to fall off.

Su-ho shifted his gaze to another place.

‘The Cyclopes are over there.’

And they really were key forces.

Because a star was attached in front of every one of their names.

- ★Hecatoncheires Cottus Lv.???

- ★Hecatoncheires Briareus Lv.???

- ★Hecatoncheires Gyges Lv.???

- ★Cyclops Brontes Lv.???

- ★Cyclops Steropes Lv.???

- ★Cyclops Arges Lv.???

So how was he supposed to deal with those bastards?

Unlike Zeus or Hades, they were massive, and they were hurling rocks and boulders without a break, so it wasn’t easy to even get close.

Then he’d have to handle them the traditional way.

Long-range bombardment.

Su-ho curled the corner of his mouth up and kicked off the ground.

[ Earthquake tsunami activates. ]

The skill he used was Earthquake tsunami.

It was a skill that caused an earthquake and, at the same time, generated an enormous tsunami, and among the techniques Poseidon had, it looked like it had the highest utility, so he had copied it.

‘Usually, if you say “tsunami,” people understand.’

That was why he picked Earthquake tsunami without hesitation.

When Earthquake tsunami activated, Mount Othrys’s ground collapsed and an insane amount of tsunami water began to flood in like madness.

“Hahahaha! As expected of Father! You’re the best!”

When Earthquake tsunami activated, Poseidon laughed heartily.

Su-ho ignored Poseidon’s reaction, rode Cheolma up into the air, and activated additional skills.

[ Rage Mode activates. ]

[ Foxfire activates. ]

He inflated his stats to the maximum.

Then he lifted his blood sword, and his eyes shone.

“To think the day would come when I’d use this myself.”

Then, curling the corner of his mouth up, he activated one freshly acquired, still-warm skill.

[ Lightning activates. ]

Urrrrng!

A freshly obtained, still-warm skill.

It was lightning.

He had copied it in the process of suppressing Zeus, and since Zeus is lightning and lightning is Zeus, he chose lightning.

When Lightning activated, the sky rumbled and prepared to pour down lightning.

At the same time, his mana drained hard.

At that moment—

Kkwareureureureureureureureung!!

More than ten massive bolts of lightning slammed down on Mount Othrys from the sky.

It was fired without friend-or-foe discrimination, but he precisely aimed at the three Hecatoncheires brothers and the three Cyclops brothers.

And then, right after the intense lightning struck down like mad—

[ All key forces of the Olympian faction have been neutralized. ]

[ Gather and bind all key forces to end the war, and sound the victory horn so all allies can hear it. ]
