"Zeus… ha, what a so-called King of the Gods, Zeus."
Bolos stepped out of the world he had created. Upon seeing the scene before him, it was clear what had happened—all of the Silver Humans had been annihilated by Zeus.
"A King of the Gods like this… if he isn't overthrown, there's no justice in the heavens."
Bolos let out a cold laugh. He suddenly felt that his growth had been too slow. He needed to head to the sea and help the Queen of the Seas, Amphitrite, reach Sequence 0 and become the Tyrant.
That way, he would gain a quasi-Old One Godhood and power, and would no longer fear the so-called King of the Gods or any Lord of this world.
At the same time, he needed to win over Hestia as soon as possible and bring Apollo, Artemis, and Athena under his banner.
He realized that while he was growing, Zeus—the King of the Gods—was also constantly advancing.
Now that he had handed over the Silver Humans to the night goddess Nyx, he could very likely harness her power to suppress the King of the Underworld, Hades, and become the true supreme King of the Gods.
"But with your current strength, trying to overthrow Zeus would be near impossible."
Suddenly, Bolos heard a sigh.
Though he could not see who had spoken, he sensed a merciful Divine Power that seemed to bear and nurture all things—a power so ancient and primordial that he had no ability to resist.
"Mother Earth Gaia?"
Bolos whispered softly, guessing the identity of the speaker.
"It is I, Bolos, your child."
Mother Earth Gaia did not appear in person, but she acknowledged her identity, which made Bolos frown slightly.
Mother Earth Gaia—the first daughter of the Creator God Chaos. She was the original Earth, the womb of the world.
Bolos could not determine exactly how the Super Primordial Gods of this world existed.
If they existed in the form of Divine Beings, then Gaia was indeed one of them—representing the origin of all things.
In any case, no matter what her true identity, Mother Earth Gaia was not someone that a newly ascended Supreme God like Bolos could provoke.
In fact, Bolos's level of Supreme God could at best be considered pseudo-Supreme God.
In the Path of Faith, this realm was not referred to as Supreme God, but rather as Archangel.
However, as the Lord of all angels, he could not simply be called an Archangel.
...
"Do you need something from me, Mother Earth?"
He had no idea how much Mother Earth Gaia knew about him, so he could only try to understand her intentions.
If things turned sour, he could always abandon this body and resurrect himself at sea—he had already planned to go there anyway.
"Bolos, my child, I heard your ambition and have come to offer you my help."
"My ambition?" Bolos thought back to what he had said and asked, "You mean overthrowing Zeus?"
If Gaia had come specifically to help him with that, Bolos would certainly welcome it.
"Yes, Bolos. Back when Zeus overthrew Cronus, he had the help of many Divine Beings and Giants. Those allies are hard for you to recruit now. I will guide you to find allies who truly belong to you."
"Allies that belong to me?" Bolos was intrigued. He asked the unseen Gaia, "Who are they? Where can I find them?"
"In the Ourea Mountains lives my child, Typhon. He was imprisoned there during the reign of Uranus. Go and free him—he will assist you as the Hundred-Handed Giants and Cyclopes assisted Zeus."
"He is the ancestor of all monsters. With his help, you will stand a chance against the many Divine Beings of Olympus."
Gaia's suggestion surprised Bolos, though it made sense upon reflection.
He hadn't known that Typhon had been imprisoned by the first King of the Gods, Uranus.
But he had heard the tales of how Typhon once rebelled against Zeus and caused widespread panic among the gods of Olympus.
"But… will he listen to me?"
Bolos didn't mind freeing Typhon to stir up trouble for Zeus.
Whether Typhon would actually assist him wasn't important—Bolos didn't really need his help anyway.
Still, if Gaia wanted his help, she couldn't expect it for free—not even as the Mother of the Gods.
"You really are different from Zeus."
Gaia recalled that before the Titanomachy, Zeus had rushed into the Abyss to release the Hundred-Handed Giants without asking for anything in return.
But this son of Zeus, also bearing the Destiny of the King of the Gods, clearly wanted to secure benefits first before acting.
"What do you want?"
Bolos answered casually, "You are the original sovereign. You possess the Authority to distribute the Divine Office of the Earth, and you hold many ancient Divine Artifacts. Either a Divine Office or a Divine Artifact would suffice."
That was all he could reasonably expect to obtain from Mother Earth Gaia.
"I do not wish to openly break with Zeus at this time, so I can only aid you in secret. I cannot grant you a Divine Office or Divine Artifact."
Bolos hadn't expected Gaia to want everything done for free.
He fell silent.
With the Tree of Life placed at sea, he wasn't afraid Gaia would harm him.
"Bolos, my child, I promise you—if Typhon refuses to serve as your ally, I will give you one of my daughters to serve as your attendant god."
Gaia's daughters were all outstanding Divine Beings.
Hearing this, Bolos smiled. "Then how do I break Typhon out from under the powerful Ourea's watch?"
Ourea, the primordial god of mountains, was a brother to Pontus, the primordial sea god, and to Uranus, the first King of the Gods.
Unless something unexpected had occurred, even if he wasn't at the Lord tier now, he was close.
Bolos, with his meager strength, couldn't possibly contend with him.
"Do not worry—I will stall Ourea. You only need to awaken the volcano that imprisons Typhon and trigger an eruption. That will set him free."
It sounded simple. Polo was only puzzled as to why Gaia wanted him to do this herself.
Surely, among all the Divine Beings in the world, someone else would have been willing to perform such a "small task" for her?
Still, Bolos didn't refuse. He followed Gaia's guidance to the source of all the world's mountains—the Ourea Mountain Range.
There were no signs of any other mountain gods here. As Uranus's most loyal brother and subordinate, Ourea had ended up very differently from Pontus.
After the scythe revolution, Ourea's line of Divine Beings had been purged by the Twelve Titans.
This oldest mountain range, the source of all hills in the world, now had only one Divine Being remaining—Ourea himself.
And all the Divine Offices of the mountain gods had been seized by the descendants of the Twelve Titans.
Bolos arrived directly at the towering volcano. Sensing no resistance from any Divine Being, he did not hesitate. Using his Divine Power, he ignited the flames deep within the volcano.
