The decisive figure stood at the forefront of this stream of destruction.
It was Rhea!
This mother goddess, who had endured countless sufferings and struggled between her husband and children for countless years, at this moment, the last trace of hesitation and wavering in her eyes was completely burned away.
She looked at Cronus's completely maddened face, once beloved, and then at the children behind her, desperately trying to resist—especially Zeus, the little son into whom she had poured almost all her maternal love, who was trying to protect everything he could.
The utter boredom and fear of Cronus's endless demands, the atrocities of devouring her children, and the 'love' that treated her as an accessory.
And the almost paranoid maternal love for Zeus, as her only emotional nourishment, overwhelmed everything at this moment.
"Enough! Cronus!" Rhea's voice no longer trembled, but with a crushing firmness, her divine power was like a burning maternal origin, transforming into a warm yet extremely persistent curtain of light, abruptly resisting the destructive turbulence of time and space!
Whoosh——!
The force of destruction violently collided with the Mother Goddess's protection. Rhea's divine body trembled violently, and golden divine blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, but she did not retreat an inch!
"Rhea! You want to betray me too?!" Cronus's roar was filled with incredible rage and a faint hint of... a piercing, sharp pain.
After all, he still harbored a twisted 'love' for Rhea, whom he regarded as private property.
"Come back to me! I can forgive you this time! We can still make everything as before! Eliminate these rebels, and the whole world will be ours!" He reached out his hand, and the power of time and space transformed into chains of temptation, coiling around Rhea, trying to pull her back.
"As before? Watching you devour my children? Or continuing to be a tool for reproduction and an outlet for your desires?" Rhea smiled sadly, her smile filled with infinite sorrow and resolve.
"No, Cronus, your 'love' is a cage, poison! I would rather be destroyed with you than return to that hell!"
She violently shook her divine power, tore apart the chains of temptation, and cried out to the stunned Titans behind her: "What are you waiting for?! To wait until he truly drags the entire world, along with all of us, into chaos?! He is mad now! Stop him!"
This cry, like thunder, tore through the last hesitation of Hyperion, solidified the scales that Oceanus had already tilted, and ignited the final calculation in Koios's eyes—a completely mad God-King, wanting to destroy everything, had no investment value at all!
Hyperion roared in anger, and his bright light transformed into a divine spear of power, piercing towards Cronus! Theia assisted from the side.
The pair Oceanus and Tethys summoned a massive current encircling the world, like hundreds of millions of water dragons, wrapping around the God-King's body!
Koios activated his divine power, and countless golden vines burst through the void, binding Cronus's limbs!
Koios (the messenger) was silent, but the force of celestial movement had already been superimposed on the space-time around Cronus, making it stagnant!
Even Themis, the goddess of justice who had coldly observed, finally raised her scales. The artifact, symbolizing balance and judgment, radiated immense divine power, beginning to 'weigh' the 'justice' of Cronus's actions and exerting invisible suppression with her authority!
Although the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, did not take direct action, the memory orbs revolving around her emitted the laws of 'recording' and 'freezing the frame,' quietly stabilizing the space-time nodes attacked by the Titans, preventing further expansion of the damage.
For a time, except for Iapetus, who had long fallen, almost all the major Titan gods raised their banners against Cronus under Rhea's decisive leadership!
This was true betrayal!
"Ah——! You lot! I will kill you all!"
Cronus was utterly mad!
The betrayal of his wife and children, the siege by his brothers and sisters, completely destroyed the last trace of his remaining sanity.
Cronus's roar shattered the remaining spatial structure around him, and his terrifying divine power erupted uncontrollably from his majestic divine body, like a crumbling dam breaking!
This was not his original silver-gray space-time power, but a sweet, sticky, and mentally sinking strange aura—the essential power of Eros, the primordial god of love!
The appearance of this power stunned all the Titans present, including the brothers and sisters desperately attacking him; their eyes were full of terror and disbelief.
Eros was an ancient being, symbolizing the primordial attraction of the universe at the beginning of Chaos, but was subdued by the other primordial gods because... and his power was scattered and hidden... Was it lurking within Cronus's body?!
At this moment, no one could unravel this ancient secret. The pink divine power of Eros was like a living thing, spreading and entangling, ignoring the protection of divine power and acting directly on the deepest divine and emotional sources!
The first to be hit was Rhea, who was closest to him!
Pink ribbons, like the most loving tentacles, coiled around Rhea's body, which was burning with decisive divine power.
Rhea's entire body trembled, and the cold resolve in her eyes was like ice cast into fire, quickly melting, giving way to an inexplicable confusion, mixed with pain and sinking.
"C... Cronus..." Her outstretched hand, trying to resist, hung weakly, her eyes becoming hazy, as if she could see through the mad God-King before her to the heroic companion who had overthrown Uranus with her countless years ago and given her an eternal oath.
The 'love' worn down by fear, pain, and betrayal was reborn under the influence of this strange divine power, sweeping over her consciousness in a more twisted and irresistible form!
"I... My king..." Rhea's voice became weak, with a heartbreaking tone of attachment, and she couldn't help but want to approach Cronus, who was radiating a mixture of destruction and eros.
"Mother! No!" Zeus's eyes were about to crack. He roared, summoning thunder, wanting to pull his mother out of this strange power, but the pink divine field was like a quagmire; his thunder struck into it, only causing ripples, dissolving and being absorbed by the viscous power of Eros!
Not only Rhea, but also the Titans slightly closer to Cronus were suffering!
Hyperion's radiance became bright and dim, and his attack slowed;
Oceanus's great currents became disordered;
Koios's eyes flashed with a hint of greed and fear towards this power;
Even Themis's absolutely impartial scales trembled slightly, as if it was difficult to make an accurate judgment directly in the face of the irrational power of 'Eros'!
This most primitive power of love, originating from the world's source, instantly changed the course of the battle, causing a fatal flaw in the siege of the gods!
"Hahahaha! See? This is true power! Love that can make everything sink and make the law bow its head!"
Cronus laughed loudly, and although his own sanity was becoming more chaotic and mad under the influence of this power, he enjoyed the pleasure of controlling everything and plunging all the rebels into an emotional quagmire!
